WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE!
THE CHAMBER HEATS UP. Kazimir Wynter's Torterra summons a
SUNNY DAY, and the sudden spike in temperatures causes everyone to sweat. Combined with the Celesteela's fiery thrust, the cave glows orange with flame.[break][break][break]
The flames of the Celesteela manage to strike or affect
LILLIAN GLASS,
Ruby Walker and
Valerio Dachev. They receive burns, for the increased and empowered heat sears flesh with ease. You are allowed to choose whether these injuries are permanent or not, for Pokemon healing can help prevent skin cells from dying.[break][break]
Under the bright lights,
Kazimir Wynter's Charizard lifts its trainer and his Zeraora into the sky. As the Celesteela heads toward the Ultra Wormhole above, pieces of its meteoroid chip away as it flies. As he is close to the Ultra Beast, he is able to avoid the vines. In a flurry of flame of plasma, they strike the Celesteela. Electricity brightens the room, the blinding blast of plasma and sparks causing the Ultra Beast to stall. The Pokkenger's efforts are instrumental in slowing it enough so that
Valerio Dachev's Shadow Togepi can summon a
BLACK HOLE ECLIPSE with its siphoned Z-MOVE energy. While the man's Mega Kangaskhan
COMET PUNCHES the vines— it barely protects its allies. If its mega evolution hadn't been extended, surely, the vines would have struck them.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
The
Z-MOVE lands— for it can not miss. The Celesteela, still smoking from
Kazimir Wynter's Pokemon's fights against the dark gravity sucking it back in. While
mateo martinez follows the Celesteela from behind,
maverick noah ryder and
Ophelia Reyes's Houndooms launch
FLAMETHROWERS to strike the Celesteela. Its green skin begins to change hue, as if the increased heat is finally affecting the Celesteela's resilient body.
THUNDERBOLTS crash as
Ophelia Reyes's Meowstic and Absol protect her fiercely.[break][break][break]
Stormy Silph's Charizard mega evolves. As it spreads its wings in its newest form, the Mega Charizard Y soars throughout the chamber, dodging the blasters' flames deftly while clearing vines for the others. The Elite Four follows
Kazimir Wynter on her Moltres. As the flames batter her and her Pokemon, she finds herself unphased by the heat. Her body immune— she conjures flames. Her Moltres does too, and as they strike the Celesteela's collar the flames burst in a sweltering explosion.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
As the smoke fades, her avatar powers are affirmed, for the Ultra Beast seems to be
BURNED.[break][break][break]
On his Articuno,
Laurence Anderson avoids the flames and vines. However, his Swampert is slapped by the vines— causing it to faint immediately. His Metagross' sturdier constitution allows it to tank several before being recalled.[break][break][break]
Ruby Walker's Gardevoir
TELEPORTS to safety. The
TELEPATHIC MESSAGE sent to Urshifu is basic— but understandable enough. Attack the Celesteela, the Urshifu understands. Distracted by
Stormy Silph's insurmountable flames, her Urshifu
DYNAMIC PUNCHES the Celesteela's head. Although
CONFUSION seemingly can't be inflicted on a beast like this, it provides
Laurence Anderson with the window of time to follow-up.[break][break][break]

The Head Ranger resummons his Metagross, the
MAGNET RISE allows his Silvally to use it as a platform. The aerial springboard provides the Silvally with the correct angle— and as it lunges for the Celesteela, engulfed with the power of its
BREAKNECK BLITZ, it clobbers the Celesteela back into the cave and
Valerio Dachev's
BLACK ECLIPSE HOLE.[break][break][break]
Stormy Silph's Silvally charges into the Celesteela too. A
BREAKNECK BLITZ strikes the
CENTRAL BLASTERS that are stuck to the meteoroid chunk. The attack proves to be successful— and the meteoroid chunk detaches and falls to the chamber with a large thud.[break][break][break]
FERNANDO SILPH's Tapu Fini
PROTECTS LILLIAN GLASS,
Ophelia Reyes, and its owner from the vines. The deity's shields glimmer as the vines peel back and ricochet off of its shape.
FERNANDO SILPH looks for an exit and finds one toward the east. One method of escape is up the cavern's painted mural wall and out of the mountain above.
LILLIAN GLASS's Magneton would be able to confirm such an exit route, for the wall is easier to scale thanks to a ramp of debris that allows one to elevate themselves should they lack a flying mount. Debris is
ICICLE SPEARED as she calls for the councilman. Ice and dust cake her clothes.[break][break][break]
![]()
As his Clefairy's
METEOR BEAM strikes one of the Celesteela's arms, the charged attack proves potent enough. It hits the arm— and the blasters
Valerio Dachev's Pokemon had struck, and as those tubes collapse, the flames sputter and short out. The Celesteela can not fly anymore and is kept from escaping thanks to Zygarde's
GLARE.[break][break][break]
As the dog pockets a meteoroid piece in its maw, his Silvally joins too,
BREAKNECK BLITZING a Celesteela's arm with incredible clamor. After the residual flames from
Kazimir Wynter's Charizard has melted and weakened the armor of its arm, the
Z-MOVE tears the arm off with a bang.[break][break][break]
PHEROMOSA & THE PORTAL
AS KIRLIA LEVITATES ITS PARTY, kim cole-essam and his Lickilicky would notice that the Pheromosa seems to stir. Despite its ravaged state— the Ultra Beast is alive, but unable to move.[break][break][break]
But there are other pressing matters at hand. As
kim cole-essam's Mega Swampert uses
EARTH POWER to catapult Megalopolans into the air, his Dragonite pursues them like a shark diving into a school of fish. Alongside
beckett carlson's returning Skarmory, the rampaging power of
OUTRAGE clobbers the bloody Megalopolans in the air before the dragon delivers them to the earth— and six feet under.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
In the distance, he sees the Celesteela struggling to leave the cave's chamber. As it is sucked in, he watches as
Tsubasa Yamamoto pops out of the Wormhole above it. The scientist begins to freefall.
beckett carlson's Hattrem provides the surviving team with wet, cool relief.
LIFE DEW heals their injuries as their part of the battlefield reclaims isolated serenity.[break][break][break]
In the portal, he had seen an odd pink behemoth. However, it does not pursue them any further. The Palkia continues to launch angry attacks at the wormhole— aggravated by its presence. As they leave, his Porygon leaves through another exit. The Porygon, clueless as to what is occurring in its new location, finds
Katherine Fairburne,
Cillian Quinn, and
Lucas Lane as the power plant in Mauville quakes.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
As
Tsubasa Yamamoto falls, he realizes he must find a way to break his fall safely, for he is falling straight toward the attacks the Meteor Falls party has launched.[break][break][break]
A VIRUS
THE METEROID SHARDS that have been retrieved look curious. Odd space rocks with a crystalline core... the energy with these broken pieces seems to have dissipated, however.[break][break][break]
General Smohke exits her Celesteela's collar. As she pants, her face drenched with sweat, she howls in dismay at the dropped meteoroid.
"YOU'VE MEGA-MESSED UP! YOU'VE MESSED US ALL UP! YOU'RE GONNA—"[break][break][break]
From the fallen meteroid chunk, its exposed crystalline face begins to shimmer and shift. Something seems to be wriggling inside, like a tapeworm or virus. Suddenly, a circular piece cracks away from the crystal— and from it, grotesque red and blue worms spring out.[break][break][break]
They suddenly elongate and latch onto dead corpses of Megalopolan and League soldiers alike. Swiftly, they're absorbed, providing new flesh to this burgeoning creature. And like a developing bacterium, it begins to grasp onto the Celesteela, rapidly assimilating its torched body. Despite how much it consumes, the flesh it recreates for itself is smaller in quantity. Still, it does not discriminate what to devour for its own recreation.[break][break][break]
As Smohke attempts to flee, she is caught by the limbs. She screams and pleads for help. Those close enough would see tears in her eyes as she strokes her fallen Celesteela, murmuring laments against the silenced bamboo beast.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Afterward, the creature manifests completely. The crystal in its center swirls purple and as its body twists and turns, it emits a deadly
PSYCHO BOOST from its body. Such a creature has never been seen before— nor has its attack. A quaking, detonating orb of purple energy releases from its chest.[break][break][break]
