WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
CHARMED
THE SWEET PHEROMONES waft across the battlefield. A potent scent that reaches even the mountains, should those battered by explosions capture a sliver of pure air instead of smoke.[break][break][break]
beckett carlson’s Krookodile emerges from the earth; however, the Pheromosa is too swift. The Ultra Beast kicks the crocodile back toward the earth with minor singes before parrying against
Rufio McGillis’s Doublade. However, several strikes land on its dainty build causing it kick away in a backflip. Furthermore,
LANCE VOLLANS’s Volcarona attempts to
SAFEGUARD against the effects of whatever the Pheromosa has attempted, but to no avail. While
kim cole-essam and
Rufio McGillis are able to stave off the effects of the pheromones,
beckett carlson and
LANCE VOLLANS find themselves caught up in a perfumed haze of delirium.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Unaware of what has transpired with the charmed,
Rufio McGillis,
kim cole-essam, and some of the charmed trainers’ Pokemon manage to reach the stretch of woods where the generator lays. Several Megalopolan troops react to their arrival. In the resulting clash, the generator is destroyed, including its
control panel. An explosion rocks the grassy island while
beckett carlson’s Hattrem manages to fling the “mega stone” out from the machine before her trainer is controlled.[break][break][break]
Curiously, the wormhole remains open, constantly flickering. Constantly crackling with terrible energy. When
Tsubasa Yamamoto retrieve the “mega stone,” they would find that it is irregularly shaped with flow lines and pits… in other words, it is not a mega stone at all. Thankfully,
the dark aura in the sky fades despite the wormhole’s continued presence. Unfortunately, his Porygons'
TRI-ATTACKS strike
LANCE VOLLANS,
beckett carlson,
Rufio McGillis, and
kim cole-essam who nearby— causing them to falter. Briefly,
LANCE VOLLANS and
beckett carlson gain cognition upon being hit, but they soon realize they are being overwhelmed by the pheromones once again.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
The Pheromosa grins before sticking its tongue at the rest of the party as the entire mountainside to their east explodes.[break][break][break]
SACRIFICES AND EXPLOSIONS
THE SACRIFICE COMES SWIFTLY. As
mateo martinez’s Milotic and Dragapult rush throughout the minefield of explosive seeds, they fight against the cold winds of the Pheromosa waiting at the top. They tear through the seeds as explosions rock the falls. While other trainers and their Pokemon aid their sacrifice with attacks of their own, it is clear the blitzkrieg of
mateo martinez’s Pokemon is what grants the rest of the party salvation. In the resulting blasts, the two Pokemon lose their lives— but grant hope.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Ophelia Reyes,
maverick noah ryder,
FERNANDO SILPH, and
Laurence Anderson manage to free themselves from their vine-coffin. However, they are singed, for the vines that burn away have gone skin-deep. Healing offered by the likes of
Laurence Anderson’ Gardevoir &
Stormy Silph’s Blissey allows those near her to rejuvenate as
Ophelia Reyes is lifted on to her Absol.
LILLIAN GLASS offers the Councilman personalized protection as he’s healed, and her Magneton seeks targets… however, it only finds one (aside from the Pheromosa):
Laurence Anderson’ Type: Null.[break][break][break]
A dramatic pulse across the sky sounds. The origin comes from the center of Hoenn, and suddenly
Laurence Anderson will find his Type: Null shrieking. Its helmet breaks. In its new chimeric form, the Silvally goes berserk and attempts to attack the Head Ranger— and everyone nearby. The same occurs to
FERNANDO SILPH’s Type: Null, which
LILLIAN GLASS’s Magneton can trace as well.[break][break][break]
As
illeana reyes’s Alakazam attempts to part the winds,
Laurence Anderson’ Articuno attempts to counteract the Pheromosa’s
BLIZZARD with its own, it only causes the whole mountain side to be struck with ice. Everyone and every Pokemon suffers the onslaught of cold winds, shards of ice cutting into Pokemon and human alike.[break][break][break]
Ruby Walker’s Togekiss flies forward, striking the Pheromosa. It flinches the Ultra Beast briefly, allowing the rest of her Pokemon to strike. As her Kubfu evolves, her Hatterene’s
Z-MOVE extends forth as a terrible psychic claw. In the imposed silence, the Pheromosa is torn into with horrific strikes before being clobbered by the Urshifu’s strikes. As the Pheromosa is flung backwards, the alien creature is saved from an attack from
FERNANDO SILPH’s Type: Null, for its helmet breaks then.[break][break][break]
Weakened, but still kicking, the Pheromosa evades
Kazimir Wynter’s Blastoise’s attack, but is distracted enough to be struck by
Valerio Dachev’s Kangaskhan’s
SURF. Finally, the Ultra Beast buckles onto its knees…[break][break][break]
When
Valerio Dachev appears with
Kazimir Wynter, they do not know what they have gotten into. The Pheromosa and the seeds have given General Smhoke, the surrounding troops, and the Celesteela enough time to prepare for a possible advance. After all, their brief teleport in and out near the site has not gone unseen.[break][break][break]
While
Kazimir Wynter’s Charizard blows flames,
Valerio Dachev attempts to punch General Smhoke. Managing to flash him the most incredulous look, the General
lifts her stun baton to prod him in the chest before he can punch her.
PARAYLYZED, Valerio Dachev finds himself tossed into the excavation pit instead, beginning to plummet a terrible height in plain sight of
mateo martinez’s Noivern and
Kazimir Wynter.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
As Turtonator uses
BURNING JEALOUSY, the dragon finds itself encased in the blasters. Although the attack seems effective, the Celesteela is quick to snuff the dragon’s flame. It encases the Alolan dragon in the walls of its blasters as it slams its arms into the earth. Caught between the Celesteela’s blasters and the earth, the Turtonator is trapped.[break][break][break]
General Smhoke taps the gargantuan Ultra Beast with a smile,
“TIME TO GO MEGA-BOOM!” The Celesteela activates its thrusters, barreling an
explosive force down into the mountains with Turtonator inside. [break][break][break]
MOUNTAIN CRUMBLES
THE INTEGRITY OF THE MOUNTAIN HAS FALLEN APART due to the explosive seeds and the Celesteela’s mining. With a smile, the General watches as the entire crust of mountain begins to fall apart, causing
EVERYONE ASIDE FROM LANCE VOLLANS, Rufio McGillis, kim cole-essam, beckett carlson and Tsubasa Yamamoto to begin plummeting deep into the caves. [break][break][break]
Should your characters or your Pokemon survive the fall or the crumbling rock, they would find themselves falling into a deep cavern with running water… with something curious awaiting them nearby. Those with
CORRUPTED SILVALLY will find themselves being attacked as they fall as well.[break][break][break]
