The impact was brutal. Arcanine slammed into the Ponyta with the force of a speeding locomotive, the sound of the collision echoing across the desolate landscape. The Galarian Pokémon let out a final, ear-splitting shriek before collapsing onto the ground in a motionless heap. Arcanine, panting heavily, stood over its fallen foe, its fiery aura slowly receding.
Silence descended upon the battlefield, broken only by Oak’s ragged gasps as he sank to his knees, overwhelmed with relief and exhaustion. A wave of dizziness washed over him, the adrenaline that had fuelled him through the battle finally starting to ebb away. He cast a weary glance at Arcanine, his heart overflowing with gratitude.
"You did it, my friend," he whispered, his voice hoarse. "You did it."
Still on his knees, Oak watched with blurry eyes as Dr. Gupta approached, a wide smile breaking across her face. "That was incredible Professor!” she offered congratulatory words although her tone was surprisingly terse and clinical. “The battle data will be invaluable for our research."
Oak managed a weary smile, nodding his thanks as he tried to steady his breath. He glanced over to Professor Mohn, who had approached the fallen Ponyta. His expression was unreadable as he knelt down beside the beast and retrieved a glowing semi-translucent Pokéball from his pocket – what Oak would later discover was a Raid Ball, designed specifically for capturing and containing the powerful Ultra Beasts that roamed this realm. Mohn activated the device and with a flash of light, the Ponyta was drawn inside.
Mohn stood up and silently offered the Raid Ball for examination. As Oak took it, a sudden wave of nausea washed over him. His vision swam and for a fleeting moment, he saw a different version of the Galarian Ponyta. This Ponyta was not monstrous or enraged but rather serene and radiant, with a gentle aura that spoke of kindness and loyalty. Beside it stood a young trainer, eyes shining with trust and affection. The Ponyta nuzzled the trainer fondly, a small package tied securely to its saddle. The vision faded as quickly as it had come, leaving Oak with a lingering sense of melancholy and confusion.
"Professor Oak?" Dr. Gupta's voice pulled him back to the present as she held out a hand for the Raid Ball. "We should take this specimen back through the portal for analysis at the lab. This could be a breakthrough in understanding the anomalies we've been encountering."
Oak nodded, handing the ball over. "Of course, Doctor. I'm sure you'll learn a great deal."
Dr. Gupta tucked the Raid Ball into her pristine lab coat pocket and with a curt nod at the pair, strode calmly towards the shimmering portal. Left alone together, Mohn and Oak moved towards a portable healing machine set up beside the workstation. Mohn carefully placed Oak's Pokéballs into the indents of device, the machine humming softly as it began its restorative work.
Oak took the opportunity to ask questions which had been gnawing away at him since he entered this alien world, "Where exactly are we, Mohn? And how long have you been here?"
For a long moment, Mohn was silent, his gaze fixed on the healing machine. Then, with a deep sigh, he turned to Oak, his expression uncharacteristically guarded. There was a flicker of something in his eyes – fear, perhaps, or desperation. Then, in a hushed voice, Mohn spoke. "Professor Oak," he began, his voice trembling, “I need your help. We're both in grave danger and Cipher... Cipher is not what it seems.”
Oak felt a chill run down his spine. "What do you mean, Mohn? What’s going on?"
"Please," Mohn whispered urgently, glancing around to ensure they were not overheard. "Don't say anything to Dr. Gupta. We don't know who we can trust. There's a darkness lurking beneath the surface and they're after something far more sinister than these Pokémon."
A cold dread settled over Oak and his mind raced with a million questions. But before he could reply, the ground trembled beneath their feet. Mohn's warning was abruptly cut short as he, too, turned his gaze towards the horizon. A guttural roar, filled with raw power and unchecked malice, pierced the air. Mohn cursed under his breath, his eyes widening in renewed alarm.
Dr. Gupta stepped purposefully through the shimmering portal, the familiar sting of interdimensional travel fading as quickly as it came. On the other side, bathed in sterile white light, stood General Sherman, his imposing figure ramrod straight in his military uniform.
"Doctor Gupta," he boomed, his voice gruff but laced with anticipation. "Report. Did you secure the specimen?"
"Indeed, General," she replied, holding up the Raid Ball containing the Galarian Ponyta. "The creature put up a fight but Professor Oak and his Pokémon managed to subdue it."
The General, however, seemed preoccupied. His brow furrowed in a deep crease, his gaze fixed on a display flickering with indecipherable data streams. "Excellent work, Doctor," he acknowledged, his voice distracted. "But where is Professor Oak?"
"He's safe, General," Dr. Gupta replied smoothly. "He's still on the other side with Professor Mohn, finalising the paperwork."
The General's shock was palpable. "Mohn? Is this some kind of joke? He hasn't been seen in years, lost in the Ultra dimension."
Dr. Gupta let out a curt laugh, devoid of humour. "Oh, we found him alright. Professor Mohn's been cooped up in that dimension for so long, he's practically lost his mind. I wouldn't be surprised if he's forgotten which side is up. Don’t worry General, he's not a threat."
Before General Sherman could unleash a torrent of questions or protest, Dr. Gupta turned sharply towards the technicians stationed at the console. Her voice carried authority as she issued her command.
"Close the portal," Dr. Gupta demanded, her tone brooking no argument.

"Shut it down! Close the portal!" Dr. Gupta barked at the technicians huddled near the controls.
A collective gasp rippled through the room. The technicians exchanged panicked glances, their fingers hovering nervously over the buttons that could sever the only connection the esteemed Professor had back to their world.
General Sherman whirled around at her words, his face contorted in disbelief. "Are you out of your mind, Doctor?" he roared. "You want to trap the renowned Professor Oak in that… that… alien dimension? The Pokémon League won't stand for this!”
"Professor Oak will be perfectly fine," Dr. Gupta replied coldly, her voice dangerously calm.
"Perfectly fine?" Sherman growled. "We don't even know what timeline that world exists in! These paradox Pokémon we've been encountering, they're abominations! Closing the portal could trap Professor Oak in a temporal paradox, erasing him from existence!"
The technicians, who had been nervously monitoring the portal controls, flinched at the General's outburst, their eyes darting between the two figures of authority. Fingers hovered over glowing buttons, poised to initiate the shutdown sequence.
Dr. Gupta met Sherman’s gaze unflinchingly. "General," she began, her voice dropping to a low treacherous purr, "the army was brought in for a specific purpose – to support Project MissingNo. That purpose does not include questioning my decisions regarding Cipher's research."
Sherman scoffed. “Don't forget, Project MissingNo. is a joint operation. The army won’t be dictated to by a rogue scientist!"
"Rogue scientist?" Dr. Gupta's tone dripped with icy sarcasm. "General, remember your place. You were brought in for muscle, not strategic decisions. I, on the other hand, have full authority on this mission."
The tension in the room crackled like electricity. Sherman glared at Dr. Gupta, his jaw clenched tight. He knew she was right – the military was here as backup, not to call the shots. But the thought of abandoning Professor Oak, a pillar of the Pokémon world, to an unknown fate gnawed at him.
"But the Great Pokémon War..." the General rasped, his words hung in the stale air like a final desperate plea.
Dr. Gupta's lips curved into a thin smile, devoid of warmth. "Right," she conceded, her voice laced with feigned sympathy. "We all owe our lives to Professor Oak, don't we? He travelled back in time, a hero who sacrificed everything to end that horrific conflict."
She turned her gaze to General Sherman, her eyes glinting with an unsettling challenge. "Tell me, General," she pressed, her voice a silky whisper, "what do you remember about your father?"
Sherman, momentarily thrown off guard by the abrupt shift in topic, hesitated. "He... he was a war hero," he stammered, clinging to the official narrative.
"War hero, yes," Dr. Gupta agreed, her voice devoid of emotion. "But what about the man himself? What do you actually remember? What did he look like? The sound of his voice?"
Sherman faltered. His mind strained, searching for a single concrete memory of his father. The warmth of a hand on his shoulder, the comfort of a familiar voice – they were all a maddeningly empty space in his memory. A wave of unease washed over him. He should remember his father, shouldn't he? It was a fundamental part of his identity, a cornerstone of his life. Yet, the details remained frustratingly elusive, a phantom limb he could never quite grasp.
Dr. Gupta observed his growing discomfort with a cruel amusement. "See, General?" she said. "Memories can be… unreliable. The past is a malleable thing and sometimes, rewriting it becomes a necessity."
The weight of her words sunk into Sherman like a lead weight. He stole a glance at the technicians, their fingers hovering over the shutdown buttons, their faces etched with fear. Their fate, Professor Oak's fate, it all hinged on his next move.
A monstrous roar ripped through the air once more as the ground trembled with renewed violence, the tremors escalating into a full-blown earthquake. Professor Oak and Mohn stared in horror as the source of the tumult revealed itself. Bursting from a chasm in the ground, a sight unlike anything they'd ever seen filled their vision. It was a monstrous Galarian Linoone, its fur matted and clumped, its eyes glowing with a feral red light. Razor-sharp claws scraped against the rocky terrain with a bone-chilling screech.
"Another one?!" Oak cried, his voice barely audible above the cacophony of sound. This new beast, more ferocious than the Ponyta they had battled earlier, exuded an aura of untamed aggression. It was a predator and they were its prey.
Without hesitation, both Professor Oak and Mohn lunged towards the portable healing machine beside them. Their Pokéballs, thankfully, were nearing full restoration. They each snatched a Pokéball from the slots, their chosen companions ready to face the new threat. Out of Oak’s ball – his Gallade, the valiant Pokémon materialised with a resolute cry, its blades glinting in the radiance of the twin moons. Mohn, his expression grim, called upon Shiftry. The crafty Pokémon appeared beside him, its leafy arms twitching with nervous energy.
Knowing they couldn't afford to waste time, Mohn barked out the first order. "Shiftry, use Fake Out!"
The dryad Pokémon reacted with unexpected agility. In a flash, it extended a leafy arm and flicked the monstrous Linoone on the snout with a surprising amount of force. The attack, imbued with a surge of dark energy, caught the beast off guard. It let out a startled yelp, momentarily shaking its head as if disoriented.
"Now's our chance!" Oak yelled, his voice hoarse with exertion. "Gallade, use Sacred Sword!"
Responding to his trainer's command, Gallade focused its energy. Its blades glowed with a celestial light, the air around it crackling with power. The Sacred Sword, an attack infused with pure fighting spirit, was their best chance to bring down this monstrous foe.
OOC: Adding back my Dusk Ball for now as I probably won't catch Linoone but will decide later. Shiftry uses Fake Out, Gallade uses Sacred Sword.

General Sherman stood motionless, the weight of his decision bearing down on him. The silence of the chamber was thick and suffocating, amplifying the relentless turmoil within his mind. The Great Pokémon War had been a cataclysmic event, reshaping the world and leaving scars etched in the hearts and minds of those who had lived through it. He could recall the broad strokes of the war – the strategies, the critical battles, the immense sacrifices. Yet, when he tried to focus on specific events, on the people who had fought by his side, the memories slipped away like smoke, leaving him with a haunting sense of loss and disorientation, as if the very essence of his past was dissolving into the ether.
His father's image was the most troubling of all. General Sherman had grown up idolising his father, a war hero, a pillar of strength. But now, as he strained to remember the man's face, the sound of his voice, the comforting presence that had once been a source of guidance, he found only emptiness. Sherman's jaw clenched. He knew Dr. Gupta was manipulating him, playing on his emotions. But was she also hinting at a deeper truth, a manipulation of the past on a grander scale?
Dr. Gupta's snippy tone cut through the heavy silence. "You know where we are, General, don’t you?" she said with calculated cunning, like a predator who sensed weakness.
Sherman's gaze fell upon the ancient walls of the vast cavern they were in, each depicting a mesmerising array of glyphs. The symbols writhed across stone panels, seemingly alive. Some of them appeared to detach themselves from the wall and then rearrange their order, forming cryptic messages that defied comprehension. "The Sinjoh Ruins," he acknowledged, his voice rough.
Dr. Gupta offered a tight smile, devoid of mirth. "Indeed," she replied. “And like you, General, I too have a sister I barely remember. We grew up together, that much I know, but the details...” Her eyes drifted to the glowing glyphs adorning the walls, the enigmatic Unown that some believed held the key to unlocking the secrets of time and space. "Sometimes," she continued, her voice revealing a sudden and unexpected vulnerability, "I look at these symbols and imagine one of them holding the essence of my lost sister."
The tension in the room solidified. The technicians, their faces pale with anxiety, could sense a shift in power dynamics as they watched the two figures of authority with bated breath. Finally, Sherman exhaled, the decision crystallising in his mind.
"Alright, Doctor," he rumbled, his voice thick with resignation. "Commence the shutdown sequence."
A grim smile played on Dr. Gupta's lips. She barked a curt order to the technicians, who scrambled to obey. Fingers flew over buttons, and the hum of machinery intensified as the portal began to destabilise. The air crackled with raw energy as the Electrodes writhed in protest, their spherical bodies sparking madly while they emitted a series of high-pitched screeches. The Wishing Piece, which seemed to project the wormhole into the centre of the chamber, flared ominously before sputtering and dimming rapidly. The gateway shimmered briefly, then winked out of existence, leaving behind an unsettling silence.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wormhole, Gallade, a blur of white and green, launched itself towards the disoriented Linoone. Its blades, now ablaze with a blinding celestial light, formed a deadly crescent aimed for the monstrous creature's chest. Professor Oak watched with both hope and trepidation – Sacred Sword, honed to perfection, was Gallade's most potent attack.
The impact was brutal. The light from Gallade's blades momentarily eclipsed the scene as they connected with the Linoone's matted fur, throwing the monstrous Pokémon backwards with a bone-jarring shriek. Dust and debris billowed around the point of impact, momentarily obscuring the scene.
But as the dust settled, Professor Oak's heart sank. Where a fallen foe should have been, a shimmering barrier crackled into existence, enveloping the Linoone in a dome of energy. It wasn't the first time they had encountered these bizarre shields – the Ponyta they had battled earlier had summoned a similar one at a critical juncture. Frustration was evident on Oak's face.
"Shields again?!" he bellowed; his voice edged with disbelief. Mohn's expression mirrored his own.
The monstrous Linoone, seemingly invigorated by the barrier's protection, roared a challenge and charged with surprising speed with its head lowered in an unstoppable rampage. Before either Oak or Gallade could react, the Linoone slammed its head into the psychic warrior with a sickening thud. Gallade stumbled back, a pained cry escaping its lips.
Adrenaline surged through Mohn. This wasn't the time for despair. Reacting with the honed instincts of a seasoned trainer, he barked out a command. "Shiftry, beat up those shields!"
Oak, in solidarity, turned to Gallade. "Don't worry, my friend," he said, his voice tight with concern but resolute. "We'll break through these defences together. Gallade, another Sacred Sword! Aim for the shields!"
So consumed were they by the immediate threat that neither professors nor their Pokémon noticed the subtle shift in the air. The gateway, their only lifeline back to their own world, was starting to sputter and fade, a harbinger of a new danger they weren't even aware of yet.
Shiftry uses Beat Up (my other two Pokemon will be Arcanine and Orthworm).
Gallade uses Sacred Sword.

The monstrous Linoone, emboldened by the barrier's protection, roared a challenge that seemed to shake the very ground. Bellowing with rage, it charged with surprising speed, its head lowered like a battering ram. The headbutt landed true, a sickening crunch echoing as Gallade was sent sprawling, the once vibrant armour of white and green crumpled to the ground, its celestial blades flickering and dimming. A strangled cry escaped Professor Oak's throat, a wave of grief washing over him at the sight of his fallen Pokémon.
But Shiftry, ever the opportunist, seized the moment. With a burst of shadowy energy, it materialised beside the Linoone, a whirlwind of dark fury. Its fists, imbued with shadowy power, pounded relentlessly against the shimmering barrier. Each blow sent ripples of energy across the dome, slowly chipping away at its defences. The combined assault proved effective. With a final, shattering crack, the barrier collapsed, dissolving into motes of light. The Linoone, exposed and vulnerable, roared in defiance, but the defiance wavered, replaced by a flicker of fear in its feral eyes.
In that split second, both professors revelled in the opening they had created. Their elation was short-lived, however. As the dust settled and Oak turned to congratulate Mohn, the smile froze on his face. Mohn, his face drained of all colour, was pointing a trembling finger behind them. Oak whirled around, his eyes widened in horror. The gateway, the shimmering portal that had served as their bridge between worlds, was gone. Not a ripple, not a trace remained of the wormhole that had brought them here. Panic clawed at his throat. He watched as Mohn scrambled towards where the portal had been only moments before, his hand reaching out to touch the empty air where the wormhole had vanished.
"No..." Mohn's voice cracked, a single word escaping his lips that held the weight of a shattered world. "It can't be!" He sank to his knees, the harsh reality of their situation crashing down on him like a tidal wave. They were trapped.
Oak, though shaken, knew they needed to continue the battle and deal with the consequences of the wormhole's disappearance later. Taking charge of the situation, he recalled both the fallen Gallade and the battered Shiftry, and barked out new commands. A flash of red and white light lit up the barren landscape, revealing a majestic Arcanine and a writhing Orthworm.
"Arcanine," Oak commanded, his voice firm despite the turbulent thoughts in his mind, "Use Extreme Speed!"
The Arcanine let out a mighty bark, its eyes gleaming with determination. It crouched low, its entire body rippling with barely contained energy. Then, in a blur of crimson fur, it vanished, leaving behind a trail of heat distortion in its wake as it tore towards the Linoone.
Switch out Shiftry for Orthworm. Arcanine comes in for Gallade and uses Extreme Speed.
Confirm not catching Linoone.
