It seems like they were able to recover the stone after all. Yet, upon examining it, this wasn't a mega stone per say. It was an odd rock, with varying lines and pits. Just what manner of stone could this be? While it didn't seem to be enough to extinguish the portal, it did stop the sky phenomenon that struck them. Tsubasa proceeded to put the stone in his pocket, for later research. As he pulled his hand out...[break][break]

[break][break]

A goddamn Croconaw. The reptile was chomping down on his hand, hard. Not wanting to let go. As the trainer let out a few swears mixed with a shout of pain, the Reuniclus charged the water pokemon, forcing it off the scientist's hand. One could say that it was karma for hitting the others with the two Tri-Attacks from earlier.[break][break]

Suddenly, while the man was bandaging his wounded hand, the councilman kim cole-essam grabbed him by the collar, dragging him towards the portal and pointing at it. Instantly, the Porygons and the Reuniclus converged towards the trainer, but the scientist did a hand signal to stop them from getting violent. With his free hand, he removed the councilman's hand from his collar, straightening it before pushing his glasses back in place.[break][break]

"If you hadn't been so prone to destruction, we may not be in this situation. Nonetheless, seeing how it stayed active, I can see three possibilities. 1, the portal is being supplied from the other side, so we would need to cross the gate and destroy it on the other side. 2, one of those beasts, or the enemy general, is supplying energy remotely to this portal. The final option... It would be akin to the Schwartz Incident, during new year. I believe some reports said that the man had opened the portal, but was unable to close it since it was hijacked. This might be the case here. Something else might have taken hold of the portal. Of course, we could also consider the possibility of the portal feeding itself on the environment to stay active, or it's using its remaining energy and will close by itself, but this sounds unli-"[break][break]

Before the man could finish his theories, someone proceeded to jump on the scientist, making them fall on the ground. Why would that be happening right now, of all times? Were they all dumb and only acted on emotions? A payback to the stray tri-attacks? One of the Porygons was also being attacked. Tsubasa proceeded to try and kick the man off him while shouting an order to his team. "Counter-attack!"[break][break]

The Reuniclus' eyes lit up as it proceeded to use Psystrike to force Atlan off his trainer. The Porygon (00), feeling the grasp of Psychic upon it, emitted a strange noise to signal to the other Porygon (02). Upon seeing his ally get struck, 02 proceeded to shoot a Signal Beam at the source of the psychic attack: the Hattrem. 00, meanwhile, proceeded to Recover from the damage it just received. As for the Dewgong that had watched from the sideline, she decided to jump into the fray, unleashing Sheer Cold at any nearby target, hoping the cold would help cool down some of the crazy ones.

@team meteor falls

tl;dr:

• There goes the ground everyone is now falling
• The evolved Type:Null is going berserk and is trying to attack Lars (yikes)
• Metagross used Magnet Rise, and goes after to catch the Swampert before it falls like a pancake!
• Articuno boosts itself with Agility and catches the Gardevoir on its back
• Gardevoir, seeing the about to attack Silvally, aims a Psychic at it in an attempt to throw off the attack
• Swampert (on top of Metagross) uses Protect in an attempt to shield the rogue Silvally’s fall!
• Lars is still freefalling like a madman. Internally screaming but externally calm...
• And then he grows his own set of ice wings to keep him afloat. Imperfect but IT’S THERE

[attr="class","omgenmid"]

WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID

SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER

THIRD DAY OF THE WAR

CHARMED

THE COUNCILMAN SEIZES A LANKY MEGALOPOLAN BY THE COLLAR. As the Megalopolan writhes under the man's grip, any fight leaves him as kim cole-essam's Pokemon isolate them.[break][break][break]

"WHY ASK ME THAT AFTER YOU'VE ALL BLOWN IT UP?" He spits, red blood caking his bright teeth. The grin that follows stretches wide. "BUT NOW? YOU'LL HAVE TO USE THE STONE WE HAD. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS ANYMORE TOO BAD." He blabbers on, referring to the stone Tsubasa Yamamoto pilfers as a bubble of blood pops out from his nostril. "BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK HER." He nods, gesturing to the Pheromosa flying toward the wood alongside her charmed denizens.[break][break][break]

As Rufio McGillis's Croconaw attacks Tsubasa Yamamoto, the Pheromosa's advance is stalled by his Pokemon. With ease, the Ultra Beast evades Rufio McGillis's Doublade and as the Mudkip attempts to drench her, she slams a foot into the amphibian. The Mudkip wails as its skull breaks, wailing as it struggles to keep conscious.[break][break][break]

To add to the chaos, beckett carlson's Pokemon assault LANCE VOLLANS, kim cole-essam, and Tsubasa Yamamoto. As kim cole-essam's Dragonite is struck, beckett carlson leaps to tackle Tsubasa Yamamoto to the ground. Reuniclus attempts to strike beckett carlson with PSYSTRIKE, and finally— he is regains his senses, but not before beckett carlson's Hattrem releases a Porygon after being struck by SIGNAL BEAM.[break][break][break]

beckett carlson's Krookodile attempts to attack LANCE VOLLANS with DIG and strikes him hard. The man's ribs crack before the Krookodile lunges for him once more— however, beckett carlson's Pokemon are freed from the Pheromosa's pheromones. While Tsubasa Yamamoto's Dewgong SHEER COLDS to faint LANCE VOLLANS's Volcarona and Spiritomb, the Pheromosa flashes forth to KICK beckett carlson, Tsubasa Yamamoto and Rufio McGillis away.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

The stone falls out of Tsubasa Yamamoto's grasp thanks to her and Croconaw's meddling, and as she takes the odd-looking stone, she smiles.[break][break][break]

THE DESCENT

AS THE EARTH CRUMBLES UNDERNEATH EVERYONE ON THE MOUNTAIN, Ophelia Reyes's Houndoom leaps onto LILLIAN GLASS's Bronzong. Chunks of rock and stray attacks fire across the trajectory of their plummet. However, it is the sudden unpredictable passenger that causes LILLIAN GLASS's Bronzong to crash into a falling boulder. LILLIAN GLASS hang on tight before colliding with the damp cave floor. Bronzong faints as it crashes, but Ophelia Reyes's Absol manages to discern safe passage down as FUTURE SIGHT strikes a stray Megalopolan from pouncing on them. Ophelia Reyes lands safely. Likewise, LILLIAN GLASS is protected from the harsh collision by her Machamp's embrace.[break][break][break]

illeana reyes, Stormy Silph, and FERNANDO SILPH cling close together. As Moltres' is struck by several boulders, it manages to stay resilient due to its ENDURE. On top of her Charizard, illeana reyes clings on to safety as Tapu Lele taunts them. The Head Scientist's Pokemon manage to land safely; however, Stormy Silph's Aegislash is suddenly grappled by her metamorphosed Silvally. The chimera growls, shield in its powerful jaws as it surges with energy to MULTI-ATTACK it into the nearest wall. The Aegislash faints, but her Blissey manages to roll to safety.[break][break][break]

FERNANDO SILPH manages to land with little casualties. As the Silvally attempts to wrestle him to a painful bone-breaking landing, the FOG deters the corrupted chimera. Yelping, the Silvally leaps back before landing on the cave floor with a snarl.[break][break][break]

While Ruby Walker's Mega Hatterene attempts to slow everyone's falls, maverick noah ryder finds that his descent is a little less than clean. Rocks strike at their sides in overwhelming pours and they land with a tumble.[break][break][break]

Above, Ruby Walker's Shadow Togekiss seeks the fallen Pheromosa, and as the AIR SLASH is delievered, the Pheromosa LUNGES. A strike causes the Togekiss to shoot down into the cave, crashing into the wall so that its feathers are bloodied before the AIR SLASH finishes the fragile Pheromosa off. Peeling off the wall, the Togekiss faints.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Laurence Anderson spreads his ICE WINGS, and while his Silvally attempts to TRI-ATTACK its owner, LILLIAN GLASS's Magneton fires a precise ZAP CANNON to deter its attack. The TRI ATTACK misses two of its shots, but one elemental beam is able to hit Laurence Anderson's wing. The Head Ranger struggles to control his descent as he spirals to the floor with a thud.[break][break][break]

CLOSER TO SMOHKE

THE EARTH CAVES IN TO REVEAL A LARGE CHAMBER. In the middle, a gargantuan piece of rock rests in the center. Upon closer inspection, it is clear that this rock is a large meteoroid.[break][break][break]

General Smohke is chased after by mateo martinez— but should they make their landing, they would alight safely. Sticking her tongue out at the ex-Elite Four, Smohke makes a controlled descent with her gargantuan Ultra Beast, standing comfortably within its collar. Although Valerio Dachev's PSYCHO SHIFT appears to work on Smohke momentarily, her suit allows her to shed the paralysis from her suit. Kangaskhan mega evolves, a dramatic light exuding from its empowered body— but it soon realizes a BLIZZARD might not be enough to truly push a blaster than is many times larger than itself.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Thankfully, Valerio Dachev lands safely thanks to Kazimir Wynter's assistance. Caught by the hero's Charizard, they fall into the pit alongside Valerio Dachev's swooping Dragapult. Sadly, his Blastoise does not fare better. Despite the PROTECT the multitude of rock causes the turtle's fall to be haphazard. It faints as it crashes on the damp cave floor.[break][break][break]

Unfortunately, Valerio Dachev's Turtonator's attempt to dig out of the explosion is not enough, for the force of the thrusters shoots into the earth itself. The dragon dents the circular edge of one of the bottom blasters before succumbing to its injuries.[break][break][break]

PHEROMOSA & CELESTEELA

IN THE CHAMBER, the SPOTLIGHT from FERNANDO SILPH's Smeargle and the fires from Stormy Silph's Moltres light up the cave walls. Around them, a large mural seems to have been painted on the stones. A mural, perhaps. It depicts many humanoid figures in shapes of despair, fleeing or freezing from what appears to be a large meteoroid descending from the heavens. Closer examination of the paintings by an academic may yield more insights...[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

The Celesteela and Smohke lands on the meteoroid. Looming over everyone like a verdant skyscraper, the Celesteela smiles and plants its arms into the meteoroid itself. Suddenly, the Ultra Beast begins to glow as if siphoning pure energy. Cracks begin to form on the meteoroid as other Megalopolan forces grapple down or emerge from deep within the caves as reinforcements.[break][break][break]

As the three Silvally surround the party, the cracking meteoroid seems to feed energy into their bodies. A blinding glow consumes their frames as they prepare for a devastating MULTI-ATTACK against those nearby. Megalopolans prepare themselves too, sending forth their Naganadel in order to protect their General.[break][break][break]

ABOVE, BY THE OPENED WORMHOLE, the Pheromosa crushes the "mega stone" in its claw-like hands. It exposes a beautiful crystal underneath its dull exterior. Iridescent and glowing with power, the Ultra Beast attacks:[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

The Pheromosa gathers energies and releases a Z-MOVE: ALL-OUT PUMMMELING, ramming energy orbs shaped like KICKS at Rufio McGillis, kim cole-essam, LANCE VOLLANS, and beckett carlson.[break][break][break]

light filled the cave revealing what these aliens were probably after, a large meteorite in the center of the chamber. for a moment kazimir had to wonder how he never came across this thing despite living in this mountain for a while but that was probably just due to plot continence. what wasn't convenient was seeing his blastoise hit the ground with the impact of a cannonball. "buccaneer!" the masked hero called out as he ran over to his pokemon and let out a small sigh of relief when he could see it still breathing and just knocked out. somehow it was one of the lucky ones, "take a rest buddy, let your bro handle the rest." as he returned the water turtle to its ball he brought out another turtle ready for action.
[break][break]
"turters, let's rock the house yeah? EVERYONE WATCH YOUR FEET!" the hero shouted as he whispered the plan to the torterra who started to stomp the ground causing another earthquake as the alien forces emerged and the type:nulls started to go mental. "scorcher! get me up to the cannibal loli and her rocket beast!" he called out to his charizard who nodded and dashed into mid-flight, picking up his hero in his arms and looped around the celesteela once as nagadaniels stood in their way. "into the pocket! cover me!" kazimir shouted as his charizard let out black smoke in a smokescreen to hide him tossing the hero into the collar where smohke stood as kazimir aimed a kick at the general to knock her down or out of the ultra beast with a scream.

@team meteor falls

tl;dr:

• That was not a stellar landing, 5 / 10 would not want to do again
• He has suspicions that his shoulder might be broken or something who knows he came down pretty hard
• Metagross / Swampert land nearby, providing cover for him to get up
• Gardevoir alights as well from Articuno’s back and approaches them
• Gardevoir uses Heal Pulse on Lars’s shoulder, because holy shit no, for reals that landing sucked
• Notices the gigantic thing (Celesteela), what the fuck is that supposed to be
• Lars turns his attention to his own not-Null, Amir, and decides to give it the ‘tough love’ treatment
• Swampert gets ready with a Whirlpool to throw at the Silvally just in case
• Metagross used Psychic as well, getting ready to block or at least catch the damned thing in mid-air before it attacks him
• Articuno gets ready with an Ice Beam as well, frigid glare never leaving the Silvally’s face
• Lars himself turns to his now-bat shit nuts Silvally, glaring it in the eye. He ain’t backing down. He’s also getting some of his own avatar powers ready to ice the Silvally in case it DOES make an attack for him.
• Basically: Metagross / Swampert / Articuno are all ready to open fire to subdue the Silvally if it does charge at Lars.
• Location: close to where everyone else in the earlier formation had approximately landed after that rough and tumble FALL
• Salac usage this round: 2. Fuck this shit
