[ti]complete[/ti]TREE OF WORMS

Aero was losing breath as she ran into a few more rooms. As she did, she noticed most lime-green worms started to swarm and combine together as they glowed in the same color. "Whoa. If it's the same as in Ultra Moom, then those little Zygarde-like things might mix together into the legendary Pokemon itself!" She scratched her chin while imagining the Pokemon she guessed. "Ooh! Maybe we might battle it if we go deeper."

However, she heard a cry that made her remember why she was running in the first place. "Oh, man! I almost about that li- I mean, that big rascal. I need to lose it before I become Pidgeot food!" She took out her Poke Ball and said, "Come on out, Coco! You're my only hope!"

Out came her Fire Croc Pokemon once more as he jumped on the Pidgeot's back. "Alright, you big birdy. Get ready to taste the power of Coco's Bite!"

Her Fuecoco followed his trainer's word by biting down on one of the Pidgeot's wings, causing it to screech in pain. This gave Aero enough time to escape while her Fire-type starter left the bird's back and on her shoulder.

Coco the Fuecoco used Bite!

There's no CONGRATULATIONS, THE 99TH BIRD IS ALL YOURS TO BEAT TO A PULP banner, and there's definitely no confetti or cheering, but even someone as serious and ever-so-stoic as Muin can realize the importance of a moment like this one, especially when the game's notification upon his return to the Tree of Worms makes it all so clear for him:

use a z-move

And so, serious and ever-so-stoic Muin smooths down his clothes, sighs, and looks upwards — up towards the pair of lonely Pidgeot that circles overheard with screeches of war, creating a hurricane while searching for a victim to swoop down upon. They know they're outnumbered but they won't give up; not now, not ever. Muin can appreciate their fighting spirit, but fighting sure won't save them.

With a flick of the wrist, a Pokéball is lightly tossed, releasing a Rowlet that rises through the air.

"Nin. Bloom Doom."

<'Ooooooooo.... HELLS YEAH!'>

In her rising excitement, she catches the attention of the much larger bird, but it's too late. The Pidgeot swoops down and Nin remains, energy gathering all around her. It grows and it swells, gleaming in a light as green as the worms that dance within its power. Here, among the roots of this tree, it's nature itself that wins; a declaration made by the huge explosion that comes when the Rowlet strikes a damn cool pose.

BLOOM DOOM

Tree of Worms Floor 10: A Treemendous Worm!

The last of the Pidgeot finally retreat, battered and beaten, and you are left alone with the giant, conglomerate statue. What once seemed like solid rock pulses with hexagonal cells, as if the worms sense the danger has passed.

The green tessellations ripple, and a pair of compound eyes open on the face of the giant worm.

Zygarde has awoken

"My form is whole," it says, speaking with the voice of a thousand. "I thank you all, for shepherding my children home." It slithers across the stony ground, multitudinous parts moving as a sinuous whole. "For this service, I bestow upon each of you-"

Zygarde is cut off as an equally massive shadow crosses the cave floor from overhead. A hawk-scream of challenge echoes through the chamber as the air is filled with flashing talons, glorious plumage, and the screech and roar of two final bosses locked in combat.

Mega Pidgeot has appeared!

The Final Pidgey moves with unfettered speed, wielding the wind itself as a weapon and driving Zygarde back into the darkness. Each wingbeat tears pieces from the serpentine form, scattering Zygarde cells across the floor.

"Assist me!" Zygarde cries, as it sprays volleys of earthen arrows at the final challenger.

Defeat Mega Pidgeot to receive your reward from Zygarde

For the final floor of the Tree of Worms there are some unique rules:

• There is a small chance that your post will trigger an IMMEDIATE REWARD!

Prompt #: [i][*zprompt][*roll range="1d100"][/i]

Prompt 101: Use a Worm Pokemon.

With the activation of the glowing green statue comes the true final opponent — the mother of all Green Worm.

Kazuki’s first thought is, 'Is that a giant fuckoff Caterpie?'

The giant fuckoff Caterpie is talking to them. Its voice is an amalgamation of thousands, haunting and beautiful at the same time, and also creepy as shit when you pair it with the beast’s writhing form. It seems to be trying to reward them.

Before the loot is dropped however, the most giant fuckoff bird takes the stage. The wind takes on the force of thousand flying swords, the sound of wingbeats deafening. Kazuki bares down as several gales rip across the battlefield, threatening to untether everything in its path, including Mother Caterpie. Small worms are raining over them, broken off from their Mother, and slapping the shit out of the challengers.

Through the struggle, he manages to release Buizel from her ball. He curses, having meant to grab a bigger pokemon but—actually, he could use this.

“WEASEL! YOU STILL HUNGRY?” he yells over the windstorm. Buizel seems confused for a moment, until she spots the biggest serving of raw turkey she’s ever seen.

<Oh, fuck yes,> she grins, teeth flashing as she drops down to all fours, finding traction against the wind using her claws and the sheer power of her gluttony.

“GO!” Kazuki calls, only to hear a RIIIP. “What the fuck?”

Buizel has ripped off a chunk of his pantleg, tying it tightly around her neck like a bib. She wishes Pansear was around; she could ask for sauce. Regardless!

The brave little Buizel goes zipping forwards, flipping off trainers and pokemon, and breaking acrobatic records as she makes a mad dash towards The Main Course.

Launching at the Mega Pidgeot to the internal tune of Ave Maria, Buizel opens her jaws and takes a very hearty BITE.

BUIZEL used BITE!

Ah, it just couldn't be nice and easy, could it?

Just when Zygarde is about to bestow glorious rewards upon them (and best believe there's few things Tuesday loves move than the sound of that), one last opponent appears — a mega evolved one this time. She's almost disappointed there, but the sight of a new and potentially difficult challenge brings a smile upon the Alchemist's face.

"Fuck yeah, I'm in the mood for some fried chicken."

From the depths of a Pokéball, a legend much different from Zygarde is released, appearing with a deep bellow that feels as resonates through the entirety of the tree. The Kyogre sizes up the Order Pokémon as if attempting to determine if it would make a good opponent, but then Tuesday points at the bird everyone else is attacking. Another day, Legion.

"Legion, let's bring down that Pidgeot."

She smirks at that, and it's then that the teenage legend gives the Pidgeot one of its own serrated and potentially terrifying smiles, dozens of sharp fangs shinning pearly white — Tuesday takes good care of Legion's dental hygiene, as any good poké-parent would, thank you very much!

Naturally, a WATER PULSE is created by the Kyogre when it smiles, rippling through the air with a minty fresh scent and tossing the Pidgeot back.

"Ha! That's what I'm talking about!"

Kyogre uses WATER PULSE

Ohhhhh. Zygarde awakening? Mega Pidgeot? The plot was starting to heat up here, and Genesis was loving it.

And while the current prompt was awfully specific, more so than a lot of the ones they had snagged previously, this one was definitely up their alley as well, giving them an excuse to use one of their newer Pokemon while they were at it.

"Amity?"

The Zubat faced her owner, and though the Pokemon lacked eyes with which to view Genesis, Genesis knew that they had the Poison-type's full attention just the same.

Now, what move to use... if this floor was like the previous ones, the exact attack used wouldn't matter so long as the prompt was fulfilled... but that was a big "if", and Genesis wanted to make sure they did as much as they could to keep things moving here.

"Try... Poison Fang."

It was almost comical, watching the little Zubat chomp down on the giant Mega Pidgeot's throat. Almost.
