Terra couldn't help the moment she took to just stand there in fearful disbelief before the chaos. But then reality slammed back into her with another rumble, and she clenched her fists at her sides. Her mind spun into overdrive as she looked back at the townspeople – the people she was responsible for. Mount Chimney, while still classified as an active volcano, hadn't gone off in over a century. The eventuality had always been at the back of people's minds, but the safe, easygoing life style had lulled people into thinking that calamities were a thing of more danger-prone cities. Faced with this very real scene, the people had begun to descend into frenzied panic.

Her jaw tightened as she thought. There was nothing they could do to stop the eruption, and the lava flow was threatening the only real way out of town, across from the volcano. Trying to seal up the cracks in the earth wouldn't work – it would only cause more pressure to build until another violent eruption happened. The only thing they could do was divert the lava as best they could and try to keep the town from falling into total chaos.

Reaching to her belt, Terra called out her three Pokemon, who were quick to take in the disorienting scene.

[color=PaleVioletRed]"Beck,"[/color] she called, [color=PaleVioletRed]"watch the debris!"[/color] The Claydol looked up to see what she was referring to – smoking embers and chunks of rock shooting up out of the volcano and arcing over the town. They flew up, some rocks being halted by a blue glow and then flung back to collide with others in the air, while embers met an iridescent forcefield, summoned before they could land. It wasn't long before more red flashes lit up the sky, and other Pokemon were following the Claydol's lead. Terra could've laughed in relief, and she glanced from an Altaria soaring through the sky down to her trainer, a young man who'd challenged her several times over the past week. Confident the skies were managed, Terra looked back to the lava. 

[i][color=PaleVioletRed]Divert the lava, protect the people, minimize damage, divert the lava, protect the people, minimize damage,[/color][/i] repeated in her mind over and over. 

[color=PaleVioletRed]"I need a wall and a trench,"[/color] she shouted. Her two remaining Pokemon, her Vibrava and Sandslash, nodded in response and took off. As Quinn started digging and Lyla blew a gust of ice air along the side, Terra looked back to the people around her. Her eyes found Kevin looking to her for instructions. [color=PaleVioletRed]"Get people as far away as you can – west, away from here. We can't evacuate town with the lava coming this way, but if this works the damage shouldn't go too far into town."[/color] She turned then to the frantic crowd behind her. [color=PaleVioletRed]"If you've got Pokemon that can help, we need to divert the lava flow! If you can't, head to the west edge of town!"[/color]
