WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
BOULDERS
THE LAST WAVE OF HEAT fades into thin air, but the atmosphere is thick with humidity. The powerful
SURF of
FERNANDO SILPH’s Tapu Fini crashes against the mountain.
Valerio Dachev’s Shadow Togepi
MIRROR COAT redirects part of the
HEAT WAVE away, and like its royal purple constitution, the purple sky pulses with bright lights. Meteor Falls is haunted with shadowy energies swirling in the heavens. It does not help that an Ultra Wormhole pulses north.[break][break][break]
Ear-splitting
BOOMBURSTS protect
mateo martinez, who stands at the vanguard. As the Pokemon protect their trainer from the
HEAT WAVE,
mateo martinez’s Noivern and Sceptile’s attacks obliterate several boulders and blows back troops. However, the sheer amount of rocks swiftly overwhelms them. Although Noivern is able to evade by flight,
mateo martinez’s Sceptile is clobbered by a boulder protecting him— sustaining damage. Furthermore,
FERNANDO SILPH’s Smeargle,
beckett carlson’s Copperajah and
LILLIAN GLASS’s Machamp (as it defends
FERNANDO SILPH) eventually become overwhelmed too, boulders bruising them as they roll away.[break][break][break]
The
IRON HEAD of Elite Four
Stormy Silph’s
TYPE: NULL shatters the boulders while
Ophelia Reyes’s Absol cuts the smaller pieces. While
Stormy Silph’s Moltres whips up a
TAILWIND, Head Ranger
Laurence Anderson’ Articuno blows a fierce
BLIZZARD across the field, while his Type: Null helps secure the path.[break][break][break]
Ophelia Reyes’s Meowstic attempts to
PSYSHOCK boulders away alongside
beckett carlson’s Hattrem’s
PSYCHIC, but the Meowstic is eventually struck. It flies backwards, but lands on its feet as a cat should as
ZAP CANNONS fire from
LILLIAN GLASS’s Magneton with extreme precision. As
SIGNAL BEAMS and
PSYSHOCKS from
Tsubasa Yamamoto’s Reuniclus and Porygon whittle away at the last of the boulders, the field reveals fallen League troops and Pokemon among Megalopolan dead.[break][break][break]
Thankfully, the combined efforts of Councilman
FERNANDO SILPH’s Clefairy,
Laurence Anderson’ Gardevoir’s
LIFE DEW help keep everyone afloat. Head Scientist
illeana reyes wields her avatar powers, beautiful scales shimmering across the battlefield to
HEAL those hurt. Bruised and bloodied bodies find momentary relief before the next pulse of
SHADOWY AURA arrives.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
CHARIZARDS
FROM THE EARTH, beckett carlson’s Krookodile reemerges with a dramatic strike on one of the Charizard. As
Tsubasa Yamamoto’s Dewgong fires
ICY SHARDS against the corrupted reptile, a purple flame begins to bubble in its maw. Thankfully,
Ruby Walker’s Shadow Togekiss
FLINCHES the Charizard before
Kazimir Wynter’s Zeraora
DISCHARGES to finish it off.[break][break][break]
Everyone in the vicinity is electrified to a degree— and as a
ROCK SLIDE is launched at the remaining Shadow Beast from
Kazimir Wynter’s other Charizard, flames (
BURNING JEALOUSY) expand from
Valerio Dachev’s Turtonator, burning troops and striking the Shadow Charizard. A
LAND’S WRATH from
FERNANDO SILPH’s 10% Zygarde finishes the Shadow Charizard off in a violent quake, clearing the mountainous terrain for easy traversal.[break][break][break]
However,
Valerio Dachev would find that the cave is blocked. Plugged from the inside from a cave-in caused by the
incessant drilling by the Celesteela far ahead.[break][break][break]
Unfortunately, the capture attempts fail. The Pokemon are dead.[break][break][break]
THE WESTERN FRONT
WHEN RUBY’S POKEMON communicates to
kim cole-essam and
FERNANDO SILPH what it discerns, they would be alerted to the figures’ general location and their immense speed. However, the foreign nature of these beings causes the imagination to fail: what could these be?
As
LANCE VOLLANS leaps on to his Volcarona, his Shedinja following close behind him, his Urshifu tears into a group of Megalopolans. Bones break and bodies are buffeted.
Rufio McGillis’s Morpeko’s
AURA WHEEL scatters a group of Megalopolans like bowling pins as his Croconaw leaps from a Mudkip’s
PROTECT. Their owner wields a
DOUBLADE as he blitzkriegs forth while airborne Naganadel and troops are downed by
LANCE VOLLANS’s Spiritomb, their
CONFUSED flight patterns making them easy pickings.[break][break][break]
As
Rufio McGillis attempts to board the boat, the vessel is obliterated by
kim cole-essam’s Swampert.
STONE EDGE splinters wood and crushes planks. Having
TELEPORTED under the stalwart defense of Lickilicky’s
PROTECT, the Councilman advances toward the stretch of wood that leads toward the portal. However, he’s wise to wait for back-up by the shoreline. As
Ruby Walker’s Gardevoir's
TELEPATHIC MESSAGE arrives, the Councilman is able to swiftly react to the incoming attack.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
From the wood, a spindly insect-like woman leaps. Its long limbs look fragile— but its power is incredibly overwhelming. He is able to react in time, the
AGILITY of his Dragonite allowing to evade or block the
HIGH JUMP KICK it attacks with. She does not stop— able to pedal her kicks with such speed and force, that it seems like her thin legs have disappeared. In a feat of of sheer luck or incomparable skill, the Councilman is able to respond to the cockroach’s initial attack as
LANCE VOLLANS and
Rufio McGillis come closer.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
ON THE MOUNTAIN
AFTER THE ROCK SLIDE, those on the path or the wood will be able to move on to the mountain itself. The land here is treacherous. Steep slopes make traversal difficult, while the craggy land hide groups Megalopolan troops and Naganadel.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
This close, the sound of drilling reaches your bones. However, as you all crest over the initial slope, it stops. As League forces clash with Megalopolan soldiers, the Celesteela in the distance slowly rotates around. It smiles as it lifts its arms.[break][break][break]
"MEGA-BOOO!! LET US DIG IN PEACE. THERE ARE SPOILS WAITING IN THE UNDER." The small Megalopolan general sighs before ordering the Celesteela to attack.[break][break][break]
When it raises its long, bamboo-like arms,
LEECH SEEDS begin to burst from its green shells like spores. They scatter all across the mountain range in a defensive effort to keep you all at bay. The sight would be familiar to
kim cole-essam, who has fought one of these before in Mossdeep. Being hit with a
LEECH SEED would surely spell disaster…[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
The Celesteela resumes mining once more as
THE SHADOWY AURA in the sky
BURSTS IN BRIGHT LIGHT, THE BRIGHT SHRAPNEL HITTING EVERYONE ON THE FIELD.[break][break][break]

with sceptile in need of some rest. mateo would return the grass-type while noize the noivern remained on the field. quickly, as mateo would run to hop onto his dragon's back, he'd call forth milotic once more. "ensnare me," he ordered. the milotic would come to casually wrap itself around mateo.
