Devil's Work [CLOSED]

A few days ago, a recently resurrected Archeops broke free from the Devon Corporation's headquarters in Rustboro City. Though he was clever enough to elude capture from the teams of trainers Devon dispatched, Noel managed to catch him in the wild due to sheer, once-in-a-lifetime luck. He's a gorgeous creature, richly plumed with feathers of emerald and sun-scorched gold, radiant with a majesty that dates eons before the first human walked the earth.

He's also Zubatshit crazy.

"Calm down! Calm the fuck down!" Noel screams as Tempest shoots above the rain forest's canopy, his brilliant wings seeming to blot out the sun. With an unearthly screech designed to strike fear into the hearts of prey, the Archeops summons a boulder to his claws and flings it at his trainer below. Noel darts out of the way, causing the Rock Throw to slam into a tree instead. Noel throws an arm over his face, gritting his teeth as a spray of wooden splinters sinks into his skin. Tempest snarls with displeasure.

As another Rock Throw goes sailing over his head, Noel fumbles with a Pokeball at his belt and releases his Skitty, who seems pitifully tiny in the shadow of the prehistoric beast. "Mona, Sing!" he commands frantically as Tempest dives from the sky like an asteroid, readying a possibly fatal Acrobatics. "Do it now!"

Despite that she's been dropped into a warzone quite without warning, Mona complies readily. She begins to coo a lullaby as Tempest thunders toward them. For a brief, terrifying moment Noel thinks Tempest isn't listening, but then the Archaeops slows and collapses to the ground a second before impact. He twitches in his sleep, apparently dreaming about eviscerating his feeble human trainer. Mona takes a step forward and tentatively prods his head with her paw.

Noel slumps against the trunk of an undestroyed tree, his breathing harsh and ragged. "What'm I gonna do with him?" he says, heaving a sigh.
