THE FINAL STRIKE:
[break]
the ensuing sequence plays with dramatic cohesion. in the wake of supposed death, the remaining pokemon and trainers seek vengeance for the losses they have incurred.[break][break][break]
shafts of powerful energy, emboldened by proper preparation, fire from @valyx's porygon-z and mega gengar. they beat into hoopa's slumbering wall of muscle, alongside
Emma Wolfe's noivern's devastating meteor.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
illeana reyes's eevee is able to land a flurry of stars. each stellate shuriken bursts against the hoopa's fur; however, her ninetales' inferno fails to meet its destination. the eruption of flames is caught by a floating ring. the pillar of fire surges into it— and reappears through another.
cait alfric's infernape's flare blitz meets the flames of
illeana reyes's ninetales instead. in a spectacular torch, both attacks are nullified.[break][break][break]
draconian claw marks tear into the hoopa's hide thanks to
Blaine Jones's garchomp. however, it's minervan friend finds its dream eater sucked into another ring. the red eyes of noctowl reappear in a hoop right before
evan fader. the bartender finds his body shifting, the pain in his disfigured hands intensified by the assault. however,
Laurence Anderson's pokemon rescues
evan fader from friendly-fire death. in particular,
Laurence Anderson's ampharos' light screen manifests itself and blocks the psychic haunt.[break][break]
simultaneously,
evan fader's pokemon perform a beautifully choreographed offensive. his lilgant's magical leaves carry the toxic spikes, embedding them into the unbound hoopa like burrs. hoopa's veins glow purple underneath its bluish fur before being caked in mud bombs.[break][break][break]
Bailey Cooper's pokemon join in tandem. as they navigate the obstacle course of rings, several of her pokemon are able to breach the hoopa's defenses. her blastoise smashes into the hoopa's groin with its skull while her seemingly invincible togekiss strikes alongside her decidueye and tsareena. however, her kommo-o's powerful charge leads it into a ring accidentally at the apex of its strike; the dragon launches itself from an entirely new ring. a ring right before
Morgan Drake. a bone-breaking sky uppercut buries itself into
Morgan Drake's body and
snaps his spine in two. kapow.[break][break][break]
while
kyle lopez smeargle is able to sketch the dark void successfully, not every one of his pokemon's attacks hit their target. although his togepi's extrasensory is able to reach the hoopa thanks to its psychic capabilities, his aerodactyl's hyper beam disappears into a ring... as
Noelle Lane grieves, her typhlosion, slowbro and hydreigon instigate their barrage. their mounting siege reveals the discipline of a dragon clan member as their fierce attacks batter the hoopa's weakening figure.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
kyle lopez's aerodactyl's hyper beam reappears from a floating ring. the raucous scream of an incoming hyper beam deafens
Noelle Lane's ears. with his fading breath,
Lucas Lane issues his orders to his unown and tyrantrum to protect her— and manage to just in time. although his unown immediately disintegrates, his tyrantrum is able to take the full brunt of the hyper beam. it's as if the rings amplify the attack's potency, and the tyrantrum, after a resigned roar, falls into a limp heap.[break][break][break]
@n0ble's tactics pay off. with his togekiss' ability to improve his metagross' accuracy, the hyper beam is able to narrowly avoid a hovering ring. if his metagross had not received the proper assistance from its peer, the hyper beam would have cored
persephone amavi, herself.
persephone amavi's own pokemon are able to strike the hoopa, flashes of pink and ghostly shadows adding to the color of battle.[break][break][break][break]
AN AWAKENING:
[break]
the battlefield is perfumed with scales and pollen.
AYAME FUJIWARA's companions strike true, except for one. as
cadis von klaussner's ditto-solgaleo and gallade weave in between the rings to reach their objective,
cadis von klaussner' lungs fill with the silver dust of
AYAME FUJIWARA's beautifly. the silver wind comes from a ring above the two, and as
cadis von klaussner attempts to breathe...[break][break][break]
however,
FERNANDO SILPH's tapu fini is the wild card. waters surge from its presence, and a towering tsunami wave surges forth. it smashes into everyone. the immense force of a berserk alolan deity can be felt in the strength of the flood.
cadis von klaussner is swept off his feet alongside
AYAME FUJIWARA. the two disappear under the surface.
cadis von klaussner's addled lungs struggle before allowing cold alolan water to rush in.
he drowns with a fire in his lungs.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
everyone else and their pokemon are swept too. the waves carry them into rings, forcing them to teleport into various locations within the surge of water. in a disorienting loop that forces them in and out and in and out of portal-rings, many begin to drown. others are swept right off the edge and plummet to their seeming deaths.[break][break][break]
AYAME FUJIWARA is able to open the bottle in time, and as she thanks her fallen comrade
Blake Wright and the darkrai presiding over their battle, she's swept away too. however, she keeps her hand above water. the same hand that possesses the bottle. after the final attacks hit their mark alongside the darkrai's own, the hoopa, weakened and shattered awake, begins to disappear into the jar with a horrid cry.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
as the hoopa begins to disappear, the nightmare begins to fade. many wake up with a jarring jerk, as if they had fallen and hit their head after they had been sweeped off the stage. others wake with a gasp, drenched in sweat and imagined brine. as the realm of nightmare frees darkrai from the prison it had been lured in to, it makes its presence known to those who had assisted in its liberation.[break][break][break]
[attr="class","reward"]"YOU" ARE WORTHY
[attr="class","reward2"]darkrai allies itself with rocket.
[break][break][break]
the darkrai disappears too as the hoopa wakens from its slumber. somewhere in hoenn,
the djinn vows vengeance while the
shadowy spectre seeks allegiance with a champion of rocket.[break][break][break]
the end.

Lucas cries out when the ring cuts him clean in half. Blood gushes forth from the wound like a waterfall as he cries out in pain. Pain blinds his vision and thoughts, with only glimpses of his surroundings being taken in.
