WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
METEOR FALLS
THE TRAMPLED BATTLEFIELD IS MUDDIED, for the
RAIN DANCES of
Laurence Anderson’s and @haruka’s Pokemon resurrect the footprints of fallen soldiers with water. Under the cloudy heavens, the battle wages on. Condensed breath billows from your lips as Articuno’s presence causes the temperature to drop. Pink-purple fog from
MISTY TERRAINS cast Meteor Falls in eerie low hanging clouds.[break][break][break]
AT THE VANGUARD
Before the flames are extinguished,
kim cole-essam and his team take the blind offensive. Manifesting in the middle of a battalion, the Councilman downs several with his Dragonite’s
AQUA TAIL.
mateo martinez follows soon after with his Dragapult, while his Sceptile conjures roots to ensnare an approaching squad. Within the protection of Milotic’s barrier,
DRACO METEORS slam into the earth, while
kim cole-essam’s Swampert manages to land a
HYDRO PUMP on one Shadow Charizard to faint it. However, the two other Charizards retaliate in time with
HEAT WAVES. One pulses toward
kim cole-essam on the higher ground, while the other surges for
mateo martinez.[break][break][break]
THE GREAT FIREWALL
FERNANDO SILPH’s Tapu Fini summons the seas. Casting the wave toward the wall of flame, others follow with their own attacks.
beckett carlson,
LILLIAN GLASS,
Kazimir Wynter, @haruka
Ophelia Reyes, and
Stormy Silph douse the flames with a dramatic howl of water, wind and sand. The Elite Four’s Moltres’
HURRICANE combines dramatically with the other legendary’s
SURF, crashing with the troops behind the wall and against
mateo martinez’s Milotic’s
BARRIER. It causes the shield to shatter, protecting the former Elite Four member barely.[break][break][break]
However, as the curtain of fire falls, the
HEAT WAVES from the Shadow Charizard rush past the singed earth, surging for the aforementioned
mateo martinez,
Laurence Anderson and his rangers,
FERNANDO SILPH,
illeana reyes, and
beckett carlson.[break][break][break]
Ophelia Reyes is able to evade the
HEAT WAVE thanks to her Meowstic’s premonition, while
LILLIAN GLASS's Machamp can choose to protect her with its
WIDE GUARD. Likewise,
Ruby Walker's Togekiss can choose to
PROTECT, but it
may not be enough to protect her entire party without help. Furthermore,
Valerio Dachev may choose to have his Togepi take the attack, but then use its
MIRROR COAT on a target.[break][break][break]
SHADOW LUCK
[break][break][break]
As
Laurence Anderson halts his ice from the remains of the flames, his Type: Null’s
ROCK SLIDE attacks backfires spectacularly. Combined with
Kazimir Wynter’s Torterra’s
EARTHQUAKE, the whole mountain groans in response.
Something has gone wrong.[break][break][break]
Valerio Dachev’s corrupted Togepi causes a terrible chain of events due to its
SHADOW LUCK used on
Laurence Anderson. After the
HEAT WAVE, the
EARTHQUAKE loosens stone from higher up in the mountains. The enemy had already prepared boulders to roll down the slopes; however,
Laurence Anderson’ Type: Null’s attack causes its own stones, the mountain's natural rocks and
more to fall toward the party. They crush those
PARALYZED on the ground by
FERNANDO SILPH’s Zygarde.[break][break][break]
As
Kazimir Wynter moves toward the right, in the same general proximity to
Valerio Dachev’s
PHANTOM FORCING Dragapult, they would be able to see the dangerous cascade of rock.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
THE WESTERN BEACH
As
LANCE VOLLANS’s Pokemon strike those by the beach staircase with winds and powerful
SURGING STRIKES, his attempt to discern anomalies in the battlefield is hindered by the remaining smoke.[break][break][break] Bodies fall as
Rufio McGillis’s Croconaw follows up. A weakened tree is hurled into a group thanks to a powerful
HYDRO PUMP that splinters bark. Other enemy troops are dispatched with a flap of Volcarona's wings as the Croconaw leaps from the cliff. Ultimately, the
immediate western side is cleared of troops thanks to their efforts.[break][break][break]
PERCEPTION CHECK
As Dewgong fells a Salamence with
ICE SHARDS,
Tsubasa Yamamoto’s Porygon attempts to
LOCK-ON to the odd sound. However, it cries as it fails to track it. The sound is impossible to source, for the location is absolutely unknown.[break][break][break]
However,
Ruby Walker’s Togekiss senses odd auras. In the woods up north, it can
sense two, fast moving auras that dart closer and closer, stopping from tree to tree.[break][break][break]
While
LILLIAN GLASS’s Magneton scouts for further targets— but can track the rolling boulders. Furthermore,
illeana reyes’s Tapu Lele
MOONBLASTS a horde of Megalopolans. Their bodies scatter into the air as
TERRAIN PULSES ravage across battlefield.[break][break][break]
THE WORMHOLE
The wormhole pulses. A bolt of lightning is shot into its staticky maw, and suddenly, the otherworldly portal pulses black. The sky darkens even further as it is filled with purple light (
SHADOW SKY).[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
A
SHADOWY AURA overrides all weather and can not be disabled until the wormhole is closed. Suddenly, bursts of light shower from the shadowy aura striking everyone and their Pokemon like hail. The pain is palpable— but it isn’t poison. However, as long as
SHADOWY AURA is up,
everyone will continually take damage.[break][break][break]
In the distance, the Celesteela’s head continues to bob as it drills.[break][break][break]
