as the acid rain collides with the ground, the pokemon who have weathered the toxic precipitation start to feel its effects. although less potent than the poisons of rocket's secret raid, it is, nonetheless, an agonizing contaminate. across the field, the wails and shrieking of pokemon begin to hush in a haunting decrescendo.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

Ruby Walker's gardevoir's LIFE DEW proves to be instrumental alongside Thomas Benoit's clawitzer. healing energies fill the battlefield. droplets of water float and seek the injured. like sapphires, they refract the SUNNY DAY's rays in a rare moment of beauty betwixt disaster.[break][break][break]

as they are withdrawn or healed, each pokemon faints; however, it is clear that they should seek further medical attention afterward. Josh Dragomir & Orion Lykos's swamperts, Ruby Walker's hatterene, Thomas Benoit's hydreigon, Olivia Abbiati's sharpedo, Stormy Silph's charizard, Lucas Lane's machoke, Isra Nightingale's noivern, and noah faber's unfezant succumb to the dark pit of unconsciousness. Alexei Ivanov's sableye is able to soften their crash landing before fainting in a horrid spasm.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

as Remiel Calcifet attempts to flee into his dragapult's expanding PHANTOM FORCE; the beast ball presently contained within its gut.[break][break]as they attempt to blink out of the physical plane, they are suddenly seized by a staryu's PSYCHIC. should the masked hammerlocke graduate peer at the source, they would be able to see the "pokenger", clad in his heroic outfit commanding his pokemon to attack them.[break][break][break]

before Remiel Calcifet's solrock can EXPLODE in a spectacular sacrifice, the effects of the acid rain become too much to bear. in a surprising twist of fate, the meteorite pokemon faints before it can act as cover. its speedy trajectory causes its motionless body to streak by as it becomes available for withdrawal.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

another solrock instead, takes its place. Kazimir Wynter's solrock ZEN HEADBUTTS Remiel Calcifet's dragapult in the gut. the shadowy portal begins to fidget, as if losing stability to remain open. before Kazimir Wynter's honedge can deliver a damning NIGHT SLASH, it is thrown backwards by a potent DARK PULSE. the honedge immediately faints, clanging to the ground. swiftly, the solrock retrieves its partner and soars toward Kazimir Wynter as the darkrai fires a sphere of DARK VOID toward the staryu to break its hold, while it counteracts Olivia Abbiati's jellicent with a potent OMINOUS WIND of its own.[break][break][break]

the darkrai acts as Remiel Calcifet's cover, grasping the edges of the portal with its claws, as the the nightmare pokemon too, disappears into the closing PHANTOM FORCE. it is not seen again tonight. Isra Nightingale's ILLUSION allows Remiel Calcifet to reappear safely and away from the perceptive eyes of Kazimir Wynter.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

the eruption of stone razes the night market further. in a shocking tidal wave of jutting rock, broken buildings and broken bodies are pierced and tossed like fortress warnings. many are able to flee to the sky. pokemon rescue their own trainers, while others swoop in under commands to bail out those with no access to the air. Noelle Lane, with her fast thinking (but not fast enough to save Lucas Lane's garden), rescues the head scientist like an alien abduction atop her gyarados. Orion Lykos is able to haul Thomas Benoit on to his hydreigon, while kyle lopez tears noah faber away from the ground in the nick of time. due to sheer luck, but impassioned desperation, knox prescott is able to dodge the unraveling earth as he searches for @bean2. furthermore, Balder Schwartz's solgaleo successfully saves the wormhole from whatever the nihilego was attempting to do. the stones stop abruptly, sprouting like a crown around the edges of the WIDE GUARD.[break][break][break]

as Noelle Lane and kyle lopez fly toward the nihilego, mateo martinez follows on the back of his MAGNET RISING sceptile. a flash of red announces the return of his arcanine as the winds whip past them and their passengers.[break][break][break]

Adrian Malcolm's vileplume is able to stave off the earth temporarily. the empowered SOLAR BEAM blasts through a lane of incoming stone, obliterating it into a crumbs and shards of sharp detritus. the vileplume is able to buy enough time for their trainer to flee on his gyarados, but the expansive STONE EDGE strikes the vileplume when it restarts. the vileplume is knocked unconcious and hurled into the air.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

however, a couple are not so lucky. Bailey Cooper is unable to flee the wave of erupting rock. from underneath her feet, a ramp of stone catapults her into the air. gravity takes hold at the peak of her tremendous ascent, pulling her body toward the spikes below. next, it is clear Kazimir Wynter's heroism comes at a cost. those who witness him would see that he does not have time to escape. as the stones drive upward from hoenn's guts, one pillar surges toward his body to lance it--- but something protects him.[break][break][break]

a brilliant verdant flash engulfs his body. as he's pushed up from the stone, a paneled barrier of green takes the blow for him and shimmers all around, for he is encased in a protective orb. he can hear something's cry. it emanates from the barrier itself. across hoenn, others like it, seem to awaken as Kazimir Wynter settles on stable ground. the barrier disappears as the green light fades into his flesh. something wanted to protect Kazimir Wynter, or did it want to protect itself?[break][break][break]

[break][break]

@nicole recalls her daring togedemaru before leaping on to her metagross. following Josh Dragomir's charizard, the two strike the bomb with tier pokemon's fists. a fierce METEOR MASH and DRAGON CLAW hurl the bomb even higher, but it's clear, that at this height, it won't be enough to save the city.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

from his crash site, Alexei Ivanov shoots up into the air with his pidgeot. a gale from a HURRICANE attack tosses it further up before it is bombarded with Orion Lykos's dragon's attacks. boulders are borrowed from below as EARTH POWER and DARK PULSE push it up further, still. spiraling toward the bomb, Annie Mei's starmie and type:null fire their respective attacks from relative safety. their PSYCHIC and TRI-ATTACK lan before the pokemon are recalled.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

after PROTECTING FERNANDO SILPH from the stones, tapu fini draws ocean waters to itself before launching them at the bomb. the salty scent of brine hits the nostrils as persephone amavi's drifblim whips up ferocious winds like Alexei Ivanov's pidgeot. however, this time, the TAILWIND not only pushes the bomb further, but allows FERNANDO SILPH to ascend with frightening speeds into the sky.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

Adrian Malcolm's gyarados shifts into its impressive mega form. it dominates the airscape with its immense size as it rises upward with a surge of seawater. before the water can affect its attack, his arcanine is able to EXTREMESPEED the bomb, tagging it before a roar of a WATERFALL attack slams into the explosive sphere. the bomb shoots into the night sky, piercing through the clouds.[break][break][break]

[break]
[break][break]

as the SUNNY DAY fades, more light follows. overhead, the bomb detonates into a thousand orbs. blue, pink spheres scatter across the night's canvas of stars before exploding into balls of flame. the whole region quakes violently. if one is not deafened by the boom, their senses are pierced by the shattering of windows across the city. several orbs pop into actual fireworks: a calling card of the blacephalon's whimsicality. as the acrid smell of smoke and flame descends, the region celebrates the turn of the decade...[break][break][break]

[break][break]

before kyle lopez's manectric can pluck marie jules's joltik from dahlia goode's body, the fangs sink into her flesh. her body convulses once before the assassin is torn away. the joltik expends some static electricity in defense- but to no effect on the manectric, before fleeing. cosmog teleports the commissioner to verdanturf...[break][break][break]

as persephone amavi's claydol lands a powerful HYPER BEAM on the creature, Bailey Cooper's krookodile emerges from the earth like a vengeful lazarus. it slams into the nihilego, cracking one of its tentacles. furthermore, Stormy Silph's newly evolved aegislash is able to SHADOW SNEAK them up into the air. her type:null launches RAZOR WINDS at the nihilego as they tear into its hard carapace. the alien cries with its bird-like vocals. like a bleeding kite, it sways in the air.[break][break][break]

enraged, the nihilego ensnares persephone amavi's claydol, Bailey Cooper's krookodile and Stormy Silph's type:null with its long, extensive reach. the tentacles wrap tight around their waists and tighten. their pokemon cry out in pain before they're slammed into each other like a child smashing toy blocks together. the nihilego does this continuously, the spines from its body jutting out as it attempts to suck them into its head...[break][break][break]

[break][break]

but one man is not phased by the earth. Balder Schwartz rushes through the field. his body hurdles through the erupting rocks. as an unstoppable force, the man smashes through columns of violent stone before he launches himself. as the remainder of the nihilego's tentacles attempt to grab him, Balder Schwartz lashes a rock-shattering kick on to the nihilego's crest.[break][break][break]

the nihilego wails and releases the pokemon in its tentacles. poisons bleed from its head as it flurries about in pain. in alien screams, the nihilego attempts to nurse itself. overhead, the bomb explodes... and the creature notices it. it dispels the notion of the wormhole being a possible threat to the bomb's detonation. instead, it treats it as an ally. the nihilego releases an ear-splitting cry that penetrates throughout the entire city.[break][break][break]

from within the wormhole set into the night market's floor, similar cries echo back. as if in response to the nihilego's cry, a force seems to be growing from within the radioactive tunnel. tentacles begin to latch upon the edges of the tunnel as reinforcements attempt to breach the boundary.[break][break][break]

the nihilego launches itself at its assaulters, spewing poisons and grabbing at anyone in range of its remaining seven tentacles.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

below are several guidelines and notes you must follow and consider for the raid. please pm shiv if you have any other questions. these guidelines will be trimmed or omitted for future mod posts in this event.[break][break][break]

you must ROLL for this round as you perform your actions; this round, rolls won't determine the absolute outcome of your actions.[break][break]

there are several things in play at the moment. to summarize:[break]

• Remiel Calcifet, Isra Nightingale, and to an extent, marie jules, are in elusive positions, awaiting escort by a rocket gardevoir.
• the nihilego has attracted reinforcements from Balder Schwartz's solgaleo's wormhole. beat them back and prevent them from breaching!
• Bailey Cooper is falling toward the stones and is about to be impaled.
• dahlia goode's condition is unknown, but she is teleported away.
• the nihilego is attacking for one last push.

[break][break][break]

please include a tl;dr of your character's actions; however, if any of your posts remain only as tl;drs by the end of the event (i.e. there is no actual written post), you will receive no rewards.[break][break]

furthermore, if you have a "tl;dr only post" in the previous round and make another "tl;dr only post" that is unedited by the next mod post, you will automatically fail your action with dire consequences.[break][break][break]

The bomb exploded, but if Annie hadn’t known better she would have thought that the world did. Her eyes were already being assaulted by the sheer chaos around them, but the earthquake, the boom, the debris shattering and flying… It forced her to close her eyes, cover her ears with her one free arm and elbow.

One would think that they’d at least earned some rest, or even a moment of peace. By the time Buzz deposited her near the edge of the battlefield, she realised that the night just couldn’t be that easy. She’d barely allowed herself to take her eyes off the clown and its bomb, so the split-second she took to eye the Nihilego brought out a fresh wave of anxiety. So did the portal, threatening to bring more of its kind into their domain. She didn’t have a moment to breathe, but she took it anyway, forcing the fear and fret back down for another few seconds. She could panic when she was dead, but until then she had a job to do.

Somehow, Frankie knew how to battle the beasts better than she did, so she summoned it back onto the battlefield to aid. “We need to plug that hole- Hey, wait!” Too much chaos, too many commands, too many ultra-beasts. One of those factors, or perhaps all at once, made the Type: Null decide that it was done following orders. Even muffled by the helmet, the chimera’s roar could be heard by all close to it as it charged for the Nihilego in the market.

“Oh, shi- Buzz, cover Frankie with an Air Slash!” A little chirp from an oversized bug told it was happy to oblige, and then it disappeared from Annie’s side. Carrying her around hadn’t allowed him to show off his speed, but in that moment, six powerful wings enhanced by Speed Boost transformed him into a streak of green and red. He stopped at a distance from the tentacle beast, firing an Air Slash ahead of Frankie’s charge. If the beast attempted to grab his ally, it’d have to break through cutting winds first.

The threat of being grabbed meant nothing to the Beast Killer as it leapt into the fray. The Yanmega’s support went unacknowledged as it charged its attack. The helmet that bound its power shined silver, then glowed white. By the time it was airborne, its entire body was a mere outline in a white aura, a shining beacon set on slamming itself into the ultra beast.
