WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
THE TRUCK
ATTACKS SOAR ACROSS ROUTE 110. As Pokemon clash with each other, earth is erected and upheaved. After
kyle lopez clears the Cycling Road’s building,
circe crowley,
Katherine Fairburne, and
Lulu Flint follow swiftly after. Others like
Rex Drago,
Cillian Quinn,
Samuel Boothe, and
marcel maeda take other methods to reach the higher ground.[break][break][break]
The cliff is torn asunder by the
EARTHQUAKE, collapsing the edge. Forces are alerted to the rumbling. As
DRAGON PULSES accompany
THUNDERBOLTS against shrieking Megalopolans; however, in the resulting violence, several sustain minor injuries:
kyle lopez,
circe crowley,
Katherine Fairburne,
Lulu Flint,
Bailey Cooper and
Moana Reyes. Poison burns skin and clothing, but the pain soon subsides thanks to everyone’s defensive screens.[break][break][break]
An
ICY WIND from Gym Leader,
Katherine Fairburne’s Sableye combats the fire from above, slowing a sweep of Megalopolan Pokemon. Furthermore, Elite Four,
kyle lopez’s Manectric surges with power, siphoning a stun baton's electricity to summon
THUNDER to stave off the aerial attacks.[break][break][break]
A dramatic light consumes the Champion’s Steelix as it
MEGA EVOLVES. Megalopolan bodies are hurled from the already compromised ledge as a
GYRO BALL collides with their stunned (
Kaine Ikari) bodies. Below,
Moana Reyes’s Pineco
PROTECTS its owner against the stinger of a Naganadel before it is blown away by a
ROCK BLAST.[break][break][break]
Lucas Lane’s Machamp lunges for the car door. As it tears it off with a scream of metal, the Head Scientist finds that
he points his gun at no one. The driver’s seat is empty, albeit bloodied. No keys. cait alfric aids in the securing of the vehicle as she arrives with her Pokemon. [break][break][break]
Should
Lucas Lane look inside the vehicle, he would find that the back of the vehicle is filled with the aforementioned supplies. Crates of what may be food, empty Pokeballs, and other war provisions.[break][break][break]
marcel maeda and
dominic sinclair arrive in a
HAZE, neutralizing the field of empowered attacks— while
Cillian Quinn and
Samuel Boothe clobber an approaching battalion with
ICE BEAMS and
ROCK SLIDES.[break][break][break]
WITHIN THE WOODS
AS GALARIAN TROOPS RUSH FORTH under the Galarian Ambassador,
Remiel Calcifet’s, command, several shift into the woods.
Andy Blackadder’s Gengar sends a Naganadel and its rider to sleep, causing the draconid to plummet into the brush.
Remiel Calcifet and
Balder Schwartz are ahead of him, a
PASTEL VEIL emanating from the Galarian Ponyta. Nearby,
Adrian Malcolm’s Alakazam attempts to
FUTURE SIGHT:[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
With the view into the woods,
dominic sinclair’s Shadow Luxray can see the anatomy of
SMALL HUMANOID FIGURES, LIKE ORIGAMI PEOPLE. There is an overwhelming amount like a swarm of wasps, hiding in the trees. He would be forewarned of their presence thanks to the Luxray’s
X-RAY VISION.[break][break][break]
GUZZLORD’S PATH
THE GARGANTUAN BEHEMOTH BELCHES, spilling pools of poison. When
gigi bae’s Porygon attempts to tank it, the Pokemon is immediately smothered in toxin. The Pokemon
FAINTS despite its
CONVERSION and fidgets, twitching about as if in the throes of death. It requires
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION or it will succumb to this otherworldly poison.[break][break][break]
Raziel Beckett’s
WIDE GUARD helps assist
gigi bae’s Venusaur defense.
EARTH POWER strikes a soaring Naganadel as Megalopolans in the path are scorched by
Balder Schwartz’s Camerupt. The Elite Four,
Thomas Benoit, attacks too, providing ample strength. His Scizor and Hydreigon make swift work of the pawns, but they freeze. [break][break][break]
Everyone freezes.[break][break][break]
The Guzzlord roars. The scream is deafening. Dark energy pulses out from its gut as a
SHADOW SHED spreads like a wave across the battlefield. The other Guzzlord roars too in the distance. All
SCREENS and SAFEGUARDS suddenly dissipate, their energies turning into shadowy dust.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
As the dark particulate fades, the Guzzlord roars once more. Seeing a group ahead, the Guzzlord charges forth, claws lunging for any enemy to consume. It tramples Megalopolans burning in the
LAVA PLUME as it intends to
DRAGON RUSH into the group ahead.[break][break][break]
KARTANA CONFLICT
From the wood, Megalopolans leap from the trees. A swarm of Kartana rush forth. The first wave rushes forth to slice the group in the woods (
Remiel Calcifet Balder Schwartz Adrian Malcolm Andy Blackadder) in one swing.[break][break][break]
However, they do not linger. Instead, they move eastward, hoping to pincer those on the road (
Raziel Beckett gigi bae Moana Reyes Thomas Benoit) against the Guzzlord, before sweeping toward those on the higher ground. They will end, attacking those stationed around the vehicle (
Lulu Flint Katherine Fairburne circe crowley kyle lopez Lucas Lane Bailey Cooper cait alfric Rex Drago Kaine Ikari dominic sinclair marcel maeda Samuel Boothe Cillian Quinn).[break][break][break]
A second wave of Kartana cut several trees cleanly, toppling the massive trees toward the distracted group in the woods. These ones linger with their Megalopolan partners, attempting to cut into them ruthlessly.[break][break][break]
