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]

alighted with his noivern. they would descend safely, but remain flying midair as noivern continued to flap its wings. mateo, watching many megalopolans descend, took notice of celesteela and smohke's action. "tch," mateo uttered while swiping some portion of blood off of his face, "somethin' ain't right about that." he was referring to the meteoroid. whatever the celesteela was doing, it was causing it to glow. did something happen when you touched the rock?
