WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
THE MOUNTAIN
LEAGUE FORCES STORM THE MOUNTAIN. While some take to the sky, like
Kazimir Wynter and
Valerio Dachev, others rely upon a steady advance. As the heavens darken with descending seeds and painful flashes of light, everyone advances as if they were challenging a Victory Road.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Elite Four member
Stormy Silph takes charge. Receiving support from
FERNANDO SILPH’s Smeargle’s
HELPING HAND, her Moltres expels hellish flames. The
HEAT WAVE fries the seeds ahead; this close, one would see that some of the kernels are large. While some seeds may be characteristic of the typical
LEECH SEED, the large seeds that make landing embed themselves in the earth like fallen meteroids. Cinders burn where dry plants once were, the mountain rock scorched black. In the process,
Ophelia Reyes’s Houndoom is struck by flame. It’s power is emboldened. It adds to the flames with an
INFERNO.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
As
Valerio Dachev helps
Kazimir Wynter narrowly avoid the seeds with a
PHANTOM FORCING Dragapult, their mounts bring them to closer to the excavation site. The short Megalopolan General busily orders the Celesteela that has resumed mining— and they would be able to see how far they have dug. A brief peek would grant them a view of a deep chamber with a mural obfuscated by the dark of the underground. They return back to safety.
Valerio Dachev's Shadow Togepi's
FUTURE SIGHT witnesses a gauntlet of explosions while
Kazimir Wynter's Charizard continues to
PROTECT them.[break][break][break]
Soaring across the mountainscape,
mateo martinez rides his Noivern deftly through the falling seeds. Despite the pulsing pain of the
SHADOWY AURA, his hair billows back as they knock Megalopolan troops off the mountain with his
BARRIER-ing Milotic wrapped around his waist. Large seeds grind into the earth around him, like gargantuan pineapples.
Ruby Walker follows too. With her Shadow Togekiss carrying her on the gales of
mateo martinez’s
TAILWIND, they avoid ambushes and seeds. The Shadow Pokemon’s sight would alert her to a lithe alien-like creature ahead, defending the entrance of the excavation site.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
illeana reyes weaves her beautiful scales around the party. As they glisten,
HEALING cascades over her allies. Alongside
Ophelia Reyes’s Meowstic,
Stormy Silph’s Blissey, and
Ruby Walker’s Gardevoir, Hoenn’s defense is able to endure the pain a little longer. Her Pokemon craft defenses on her allies while her Galarian Ponyta
DRAINING KISSES a lunging Megalopolan soldier.[break][break][break]
Type: Nulls engage in both offense and defense, sniffing out the path underneath their helmets. As
FERNANDO SILPH’s Clefairy harvests the power of Meteor Falls with
METEOR BEAM,
Laurence Anderson’ Articuno fires a potent
ICE BEAM. The air grows cold, but it misses its intended target. Whatever is up ahead does not stay in one place. His Head Ranger attempts to
PSYCHIC the seeds away while
LILLIAN GLASS follows close behind
FERNANDO SILPH. Her Bronzong hovers with its continual defenses, while her Machamp, on her
MAGNET RISING Magneton, allows the Pokemon to
WIDE GUARD.[break][break][break]
SEEDS
As the seeds strike League soldiers, several succumb to its effects. Vines sprout out from their skin. Like macabre topiary, their bodies twitch into a terrible stiffness, as if paralyzed. While the seeds’ paralyzing effect is mitigated by
FERNANDO SILPH,
illeana reyes, and
LILLIAN GLASS’s defenses, several smaller seeds land on a few.[break][break][break]
Crying in concern,
maverick noah ryder’s Kommo-o watches as its owner is struck by a smaller seed. Similarly,
Ophelia Reyes,
FERNANDO SILPH, and
Laurence Anderson are rained on by the seeds. They stick into their skin like burrs and germinate immediately. Vines sprout from their capsules and wrap around the entirety of their bodies. They look like
illeana reyes’s Cofagrigus. Hardening stems ensnare them and make it difficult to move, for their limbs are binded together. Thankfully, they are not paralyzed, as mentioned before.[break][break][break]
Closer to the beach,
Tsubasa Yamamoto would be able to coast over the initial climb safely. With his Porygon mount, the scientist deflects seeds with his Reuniclus and Porygon 2’s efforts; however, he would find the large seeds embedding themselves into the mountain side terribly disturbing. He would see that they begin to unfurl… as if an explosive force is attempting to escape the seed coat’s confines.[break][break][break]
THE PORTAL
AFTER FACING THE FORMIDABLE PHERMOSA, kim cole-essam retreats to the earth with a
TELEPORT. His Swampert launches upheaved earth toward the slender creature. When his Dragonite attempts to
FIRE PUNCH the Pheromosa, the Ultra Beast seems to vanish in mid-air. It avoids both attacks before rematerializing to deliver a ferocious
HIGH JUMP KICK at the Dragonite. Like a meteor breaking the atmosphere, the dragon dives sharply from the impact before striking the beach with a crash.[break][break][break]
While
Rufio McGillis escapes the compromised boat, his Pokemon defend their trainer from any stray enemies fleeing the flames nearby. After his Doublade leaves its owner on the coast, it swings up, clashing with the Pheromosa that attempts to follow the councilman.[break][break][break]
The Pheromosa hisses. It assaults the Doublade with a flurry of blows before sensing the Councilman's attempt to flee to the portal. A pleasant scent wafts from its fluttering, translucent wings. From its crown, its affixed antenna flicker, for the Cockroach is expelling
pheromones. beckett carlson, who heeds
kim cole-essam's call, flies over atop of his Skarmory. While his Krookodile attempts to
DIG in order to move closer to the portal, he too, is struck by the sweet scent of a Pheromosa's charm.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Regardless of the outcome, your characters, alongside
Tsubasa Yamamoto (potentially), will be able to reach the forest where the Ultra Wormhole is contained in this round. At the end of the wood, they would see a large generator-like machine with a mega stone affixed to it.[break][break][break]
THE RUSH TO CELESTEELA

AS METEOR FALLS IS DESECRATED BY LARGE SEEDS, what
Tsubasa Yamamoto has sensed will begin to come into fruition.
illeana reyes's Alakazam's
FUTURE SIGHT brings about a vision. A pillar of psychic energy, summoned her Pokemon strikes one of the embedded large seeds. The capsule seems to have been bloating, its dark brown coat peeling away forcibly from whatever was pressuring it inside. However, the attack deflates the seed, preventing it from doing whatever it could have done.[break][break][break]
Suddenly, the large seeds behind them begin to detonate. As if undergoing the
natural process of ballochory, the seeds
EXPLODE IN EXTREME BURSTS OF FLAME. From
illeana reyes's Alakazam's prophesized defensive attack, it appears you can destroy the seeds before they erupt. However, many seeds dot the mountainscape ahead of you. And at the end, a Pheromosa reveals itself.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Snickering like a prissy queen, it begins to expel a
BLIZZARD in order to keep you from leaving the explosive stretch of mountain you all find yourselves in. Once again, the
SHADOWY AURA pulses, taxing your body. Under these oppressive conditions, the can your characters and Pokemon survive?[break][break][break]
