[attr="class","spiral"]It's not often Evangeline's heart starts racing on its own. No excitement, no adoration, no danger moves her easily. It is then a sensation that she can't help but crave. A feeling she's always dying to experience; a break from the apathetic monotony that bleeds one day into the next. And she felt it not long ago, when she looked at the featureless visage of Nihilego on the open sea.

It had filled her with a dread she'd never known and it had taken hours for her heart to stop pounding in her ears. It was exhilarating. She wants to face it again, and that want draws her to the beaches. Ignoring evacuation orders, ignoring the screaming civilians, ignoring the rangers that litter the sand like discarded dolls. And it's paid off. Even as she plans her next move, sheltered from death by only a bit of stone, she can feel her heart painfully beating against her ribs. She wants more.

The invasion of the shore is only a small part of the grander attack, and despite the chaos she imagines it's the least eventful as well. She needs to get into the water, into the sea. To that end she drops three Pokeballs, and keeps hold of one other. Her Weezing, Toxicroak, and Scolipede appear in separate flashes of white light.

"Scolipede, here, all of you Protect!" she shouts over the artillery fire of the enemy as she climbs onto her approaching Scolipede, "Move!" she points and they follow. Scolipede lowers her head, Weezing inhales, and Toxicroak throws up her arms -- the air around them shimmers. PROTECT covers them from all sides and they rush.

From atop Scolipede Evangeline charges the shoreline, before they're even there she throws her last Pokeball. Tentacruel appears at the edge of the water.

"Stay on me!" she shouts to her team as they near her waiting Pokemon. The moment they're close enough she hops off Scolipede and moves forward onto the Tentacruel's back. Toxicroak follows her, her still lingering PROTECT covering them both like an umbrella. Weezing floats in the air just in front of her. Scolipede is returned.

"Around the rocks, then Surf!" she once again must yell to be heard over the onslaught of attacks. Tentacruel doesn't hesitate, moving down the edge of the rocky cliff above them before finding a path and rushing forward. The moment they're on open water the sea around them bubbles and shifts before -- all at once -- rising into a wave that grows higher and higher by the moment. A SURF that will carry them faster than any manual swimming would have.



+ Evangeline shelters on the beach
+ Sends out Weezing, Toxicroak, and Scolipede -- has them use PROTECT
+ Uses Scolipede as a mount and all of them as cover while charging around the edge of the beach
+ Returns Scolipede and mounts Tentacruel who is dropped just off the shoreline
+ Toxicroak and Weezing continue to PROTECT while Tentacruel rounds a corner before SURFING East

 using his trusted scope lens to survey the battle from the side. ian watched as the league tussled with the opposite enemy. but there was something moving from the lighthouse, where he hadn't been too far, that caught his attention. at the top there were two men stealthily flying forward. ian wasn't sure if they were league members or civilians, but they seemed eager to dive in.

that was not of his concern.

and as he looked straight ahead once more, something, or rather someone, caught his attention. sneakily they moved, zooming in with his single lens device. it would come to catch a recording of none other than . from behind he knew that booty from anywhere. just what was the actress doing here? why was she heading on her own?

though ian worked for the league, he wasn't obligated to do his part to assist the people he despised. he only came here to find something worth risking it all. this was a once in a lifetime, and for some reason ian felt as though evangeline could help with that. how does he know this? he doesn't, but if he knew anything about the famous actress, due to proclaiming to be a big fan of her work, it was that she had something exciting that would lead him to some nice looting.

with his briefcase in hand, he'd place the item back. with the aid of his starmie, ian took off. calling upon it for assistance to guide him. "make sure you stay close, but keep your distance! we're following my fair lady. make sure you keep her in sight." starmie understood, only for it to afterward raise its defense parameters with COSMIC POWER.

ian had no clue where evangeline was going, but with team and suitcase. he couldn't wait to get some data out of this war. too bad he would miss the big battle that was ongoing upon the shore.

- ian has chosen to follow (dat ass) on starmie.
- starmie used cosmic power.

alexander points north, creating a path through the air. "we'll stealthily approach through the air and use the clouds as cover. avoid combat if possible. try to gather as much information as we can and relay it back."

salamence swings his heavy tail, dragging it against the sand. gallade sharpens his arm-blades with a SWORDS DANCE, preparing for battle. swampert summons a rush of BLIZZARD in an attempt to disrupt the path of the fliers. and pyukumuku sets up a pool of TOXIC on the sand, hoping to catch any stray megalopolans that slip through. all of his pokemon remain in formation around him.

Prior to the League having mobilized their troops onto the beaches of Lilycove to fend off the ensuing hordes of the Megalopolan forces June had managed to meet up with some familiar faces, forming a small unit of their own once they headed out.

Once on the beach June’s Mr. Mime popped a WIDE GUARD to protect the group from the wide ranged attacks.

And with the chaos ensuing the battling going on would be enough cover for them to put their plan into motion and make their way to the northern coast.

”Alright everyone remember the plan? Let’s get-“ Words interrupted by the sounds of a Naganadel’s cry as it and its rider came down to attack.

The rider was shot off by Inteleon’s SNIPE SHOT while the combination of Urshifu’s AQUA JET and Dragapult’s DRAGON PULSE dealt with the Naganadel. ”The hell out of here and moving.” She finished, hoping onto her Dragapult while returning her Inteleon and Urshifu.

”Could someone give Mime a lift and Noah can you give us a boost?” Once those things were situated she’d get moving along the northern path using the rocks and other land formations in the water as cover while also being in range to protect the north boat should it start moving.

- With a group consisting of herself, Noah, Noelle and Iris on the northern part of the beach
- Mr. Mime used WIDE GUARD to protect the group
- Inteleon uses SNIPE SHOT on a Naganadel rider. He's probably dead
- Usrhifu and Dragapult gang up on the Naganadel's bitch ass using AQUA JET and DRAGON PULSE
- Hopes onto Dragapult to fly threw the upper path, staying low and using rocks to cover their approach.

He'd been here in this moment for a while.

The moment the army came, the moment the enemy was upon them. He didn't think his heart would be beating this fast. His awareness became so meta that he seemed to develop the ability to stop time. Or rather he processed so many horrid possibilities that when none of them came to be instantaneously, it seemed like an eternity had passed. His fingertips tingled and his skin armored itself with goosebumps. There was only seconds left before they had to start moving.

Fortify the shore or advance to the enemy? If fortifying, the army or the terrain? If advancing, by air or by sea? He knew battles, no matter how far removed he was from his heydays in Kanto he knew battles and seconds in it was painfully evident, war was clearly a different beast.

Before he could decide on how and what to act upon, it was decided for him.

Far off the coast he saw a dragonbug build up a purple sphere with what seemed like extra development time. The reports and the patrol he himself engaged in made it clear the enemy weaponized poisons to an insane degree. As the others made walls and roofs of protection and reflection Sénon threw in that a good defense required at least a little offense.

With Gan watching a Steelix burrow into the ground Sénon called his attention away to now watch the same Kingdra he himself was watching. The Seahorse Pokemon eyeing the same goop blast Sénon was focused on before. "Ninju, use HARDEN stay on my back. Gan..." He pointed at the Kingdra, "TRANSFORM." Tasked with the same job as the original, Gan was to freeze the incoming sludge bomb with ICE BEAM to keep it from spreading as liquid and gas.

From under the same protection as most of the others but closer to the front, closer to the sea, he would recall the shape shifter after its freezing attempt; eyeing the gaping Steelix hole and vying for a change in tactics.

noah's machamp lunges beside 's mr. mime. lifting all four arms, it elongates the psychic pokemon's WIDE GUARD, providing cover for their trainers against meteor shrapnel.

worried eyes flicker in the briny wind as chaos descends upon the coast. as he knocks a megalopolan soldier down with a sweep of his leg, his unfezant conjures a TAILWIND for his group. the bird soars forth, scouting ahead as they navigate thinning rocky shore.

"HURRY!" he cries, voice searching for and @iris among the hastening winds.

his falinks march forth: a moving fence of protection should any enemy come near. noah's medicham rushes too, an ICE PUNCH shattering into a naganadel that comes close.

noah's machamp would linger, waiting for 's mime. it would give the pokemon the escort it needs should no one else be able to while the gym leader races to keep up with her.

Hunter observed the ensuing chaos with a hint of regret apparent in his stare. He’s too young to fight a war, he’s too soft to end a life, and he is not nearly prepared to fight for his.

But it’s his home. It’s his region.

How could he ever turn his back on it?

“S-Skarmory, get us to the ship as soon as you can.” Despite how much he wanted to sound confident, his voice cracks under the pressure. His steel-type, of course, recognizes his trainer’s struggle. The flap of the bird’s heavy wings causes a small sandstorm to pick up and shroud their location as they fly towards ’s ship, choosing to station themselves there.

The storm provided by the SAND ATTACK is temporary, and it dissipates after their landing. With his arms still shaking, the cadet plucked a couple more pokeballs from his belt and released his other pokemon: Ninetales, Bronzong and Klefki.

The key-chain pokemon set up a CRAFTY SHIELD to protect its team from status moves, while the Bronzong attempted to see into the future and prepare itself for what is next to come.

Ninetales stood on guard and issued an IMPRISON.

If their opponents happened to share any moves with the ice-type, they’d hopefully find themselves unable to utilize them. "Hey, uhm— lady! If you need us to do anything, let us know! We're here to help!"

notes:
- hunter flies on skarmory to olivia's ship. the bird uses SAND ATTACK in order to mask their location in the air until they land.
- klefki uses CRAFY SHIELD to deal with status moves.
- ninetales uses IMPRISON, just in case the UBs share moves with it.
- bronzong uses FUTURE SIGHT to prepare itself for incoming attacks (?)

[attr="class","simpleMain"]this time, they keep their word. it had taken a war for the rangers to leave behind the fears littleroot had sown. iris enters the battlefield with an unplaced fervour, heavy steps dissolving under the rush of waves—she might have called it homesickness, had she known the feeling.
[break][break]
two strides: the first has her sole hitting the back of her swampert, just below the surface, the next clears the remainder of the small stretch of water. she's grateful blue's evolution came when it did.
[break][break]
the swampert rises part-way out the water; solemnly, its fist dash a single beat against the boulder it hides behind. a STONE EDGE soars upward at the fliers in a calculated arc. immediately, it sinks back underwater, and swims to catch up to its trainer.
[break][break]
's TAILWIND carries her forward as she continues across the rocks. her aegislash sticks close to her, its movements boosted with MAGNET RISE, while her absol moves ahead to DETECT any danger. her togekiss summons a LIGHT SCREEN as it skims the water beside the group, low enough for 's mr mime to jump on should it choose to.

i have a need of crueler waves
they sicken of the calm, who knew the storm
Her home was a ghostly, lifeless shell of its former self.

She'd walked its empty streets with heavy footsteps and a heavier heart, taking a last look at the place that'd seen her grow. She'd passed by her parents' house and her favorite restaurant where her cousin worked; she'd lingered by her house's dead front porch, eyes uncertain and afraid, before turning her back on it and walking away.

Skyler didn't know war. She'd never felt its ravenous violence on her flesh, the way it took and took and
took  - and crowned only itself the winner. But nevertheless here she was, standing on the shores she'd fallen in love with as a child, watching the darkening waves under an overcast sky. 

There were others on the beach with her; the last guardians of Lilycove and its people. She recognized a few of them, people she had crossed paths with once or twice - but most were unknown, a sea of resolute and terrified expressions that blended together anonymously. Although they were working together, in some strange sense, the sailor had never felt more alone.

Skyler knew this coast and its waters better than she knew herself. With a harpoon gun strapped to her back, she ran through the sandy beach to the northern ship, her Salamance giving her a short ride - ready to DRAGON PULSE  any projectile that might get too close. 

Once her feet were on the deck of the ship, she released her other Pokémon: Wailord floated in the water close to the ship, his enormous body making a barrier between them and the enemy ships. A shimmering barrier enveloped the whale pokémon and part of the ship, in an attempt to PROTECT them from enemy attacks. 

"Defend us." Skyler barked, briefly watching as her Lapras set up a SAFEGUARD around as many of them as possible. Slowbro magicked a pink-ish barrier into existence above them, the LIGHT SCREEN serving to protect them from airborne attacks. 

Only then did Skyler turn to the other two on board, eyes flickering to the helm of the ship. She immediately attached herself to the controls, the familiar sight comforting.
"We should get this thing moving, huh?"

tl;dr
+ skyler gets to the northern ship with salamence readying dragon pulse to destroy projectiles/enemies in case they come too close
+ wailord is in the water next to the ship, and uses protect on himself to try and block incoming attacks 
+ lapras uses safeguard to repel status moves [1/5]
+ slowbro uses light screen to protect from special attacks [1/5]

The third day...

Igor hadn't slept since the first night, being awake some 46 hours or so since, yet he showed no signs of wear nor tear.

Standing on the beach front of Lilycove before the battle began the Rocket member would nonetheless move as the others did once the great climatic battle began as the aliens appeared on scene. Following another Rocket member, one McFlurry, as she dug a tunnel to the Northern islands. Beside Igor was a Blastoise while another had been sent into the battle before entering the tunnel in the first place. This second Blastoise of course was none other than Wolf, one of Igor's most powerful Pokemon. And it was Wolf who had been given a special mission....to attack the Leaguers, to be more than just a thorn in their sides.

It might've been a collective effort to push back the aliens to achieve Humankind's victory, but Team Rocket was also at war with the League, and what better way to cripple your enemy than to take advantage of them?

As such from the beach Wolf would enter the sea before diving deep and making his way over to the boat at the Southern side of the beach. Once there Wolf would crack a wicked grin before activating his back/shoulder mounted cannons, firing them and unleashing bright white condensed beams of energy aimed at the bottom of the boat. The sheer force of the attack would push Wolf from the middle of the water down to it's floor for the moment, regardless the Blastoise always enjoyed using his Flash Cannon attack.

The roar of the ongoing war was deafening. Between the roar of waves wildly rocking against the shoreline, the cry of pokemon muddled with the commanding shouts of their trainers, and the inevitable clash of frenzied attacks, it was a haze of chaos. Even as she and her group left the beaches to head to the less populated northern rocky outcrops, the pinkette couldn't help but glance over her shoulder. Should they stay and help? Despite her internal dilemma though, she didn't stray from following alongside the others, opting to purposely ignore the unsettling stir in her stomach. "Coming!"

Her dragonite assist in taking out the overhead assault from the nagandel, opting to use a more subtle dragon rush to aid in taking down the ultra beast before continuing in its aerial scoping.

Her blastoise dives alongside the waters, surveying any threats nearby or along the water's edge. It swims nearby @iris ' absol, seen as little more than a large dark shape underneath the surface. There's a slight glimmer to its shell though, as it readies to use protect on the whim and aid in the dark-types' efforts.

- Moves as a group alongside , @iris , and
- Dragonite stays in the air, using dragon rush on a nagandel before continuing surveying from overhead
- Blastoise scouts up ahead via in the water, preparing a protect just in case

"Fuck! Shit! Fucky fuck shit!"

Why are they here? This is a goddamn war! What difference can they make? This is a problem for the League, for these 'avatars', for the fucking Elite Four! So why are they, mere children, out here risking their necks for a region that doesn't even think twice about them?

Because Hunter is a fucking shitter who's balls are bigger than his small, pea-sized brain. Him and his stupid ass need to save people are going to get them killed. She can feel it in her bones, especially with the way these Megalopezians seem to dismantle everything they touch.

So why is she here? Even Dani doesn't know. Her nerves are as obvious as this idea is bad, constantly trembling as her fingernails press into the backside of her Elgyem.

"Go!"

Unlike Hunter, she doesn't have a flying mount. That leaves her at the bottom of the ship, helpless, left to cuss him out as she waits for the psychic type to gauge the distance for TELEPORT. It's not far but she doesn't want to end up too high and falling on her ass.

When the world stops moving around them, Dani's the last among the four to make it to the helm. She doesn't think twice about kicking the door open, presuming that if he's anywhere on the boat, it'll be here.

"Please Hunter! If we still go now we can make it. This isn't our fight! Please."

Her pleading drops all meaning when her eyes fall onto the control panel. Watching Skyler go to work with the expertise only a seasoned sailor can leaves her speechless. Shock becomes rage and Dani becomes the bitch she was always meant to be.

And man is Dani a fucking bitch.

"No. No. No! They're going to drive this thing toward them?!" It's the only obvious conclusion. "They're going to fucking kill us! HUNTER!?"

- Dani follows to the same ship as .
- Her Egelgym TELEPORTS her onto the deck and finds them in the helm.
- Explodes in anger when she realizes is probably trying to use the ship to approach the Megalopezians.

WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR



BEACH DEFENSE


THE BEACH GLEAMS WITH SCREENS. as the murky waters brush against the shore, the megalopolan attack is initially thwarted. DRACO METEORS cascade into a heavily guarded beach. Although some tear through ’s Galvantula’s ELECTRO WEB, their illuminated shapes allow for ’s Kingdra and ’s transformed Ditto-Kingdra to freeze several meteors. Some bypass the defenses, crashing into the sands and unfortunate League soldiers unlucky enough to be in their way.[break][break][break]

STEALTH ROCKS from ’s Pokemon tear into descending Megalopolans while supplements with a potent ROCK SLIDE. His Archeops flaps its wings clumsily— but is able to supply with its own prehistoric stones. Those that manage to bypass the initial screens are met with ’s Pyukumuku’s poisons and his Swampert’s BLIZZARD. @sanvi’s Froslass and Chimecho strike several Megalopolans down, while ’s Garchomp begins to summon a SANDSTORM.[break][break][break]

The visibility of the beach worsens as sand whips into the air. ’s Sandaconda manages to camouflage nicely with the sands; however, it becomes difficult to view what is happening in the ocean ahead.[break][break][break]

While ’s Salamence PROTECTS against a Naganadel attack, and attack the ships. ’s SALANDIT delivers a particularly powerful blow on one ship, causing it to flip in the air. As the boat lands on water, WHIRLPOOLS begin to form underneath the smaller ships, causing them to sink into the depths.[break][break][break]

Supportive troops attempt to assist their comrades, but the HEAL BLOCK from Councilman ’s Type: Null renders recovery futile.[break][break][break]

SOUTHERN SHIP



ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ACROSS THE FIELD. With ’s Tapu Koko summoned, the oceans adopt the striking yellow of its power. Her Altaria and Tapu Koko fly high— and meet a swarm of Naganadel. Their Pokemon begin to clash as POISON rains from the sky, but her Delphox and Milotic provide support alongside and her Pokemon.[break][break][break]

As ’s Corviknight tears into Megalopolans on Naganadels, his Araquanid manages to WIDE GUARD just in time to deflect ’s Blastoise’s attack. The FLASH CANNON collides with the shield and causes the ship to quake from the residual force.[break][break][break]

While ’s Steelix attempts to dig a tunnel, follows her in. Her Alolan Golem dangles from its metallic armors. The Glalie PROTECTS preemptively— but both and would swiftly realize the danger the two are in.[break][break][break]

A cave-in begins to occur as seawater surges in. They must attempt to escape the tunnel by back-tracking or somehow resurfacing, for the sands of a beach are unstable and dangerous, even a few feet deep.[break][break][break]

NORTHERN SHIP


[break][break][break]

THE NORTHERN BOAT is boarded by . Her Vespiquen summons Combee to DEFEND against a Naganadel’s strike before ’s Salamence DRAGON PULSES it away. As the anchor is reeled up, arrives by Skarmory and sand. His Bronzong FUTURE SIGHTS…[break][break][break]

the bronzong sees waves, ripples. it's dark— but you're not sure if it's because of the overcast sky rendering the ocean's hue murky, or if the wave is made out of some dark energy itself.
[break][break][break]

As and ’s Pokemon begin to provide DEFENSES for their ship, @dani reunites with her friend. Her Elgyem brings her by TELEPORT as its owner explodes with dismay. begins to move the ship, and finds that it moves decently quick. Their ship begins to move from the shore.[break][break][break]

SOUTHERN PATH



THE LIGHTHOUSE’S BEAM CUTS THROUGH THE DARK. However, it illuminates terrifying images of enemy forces hovering in the air and hiding along the islands. After reunites with by Braviary, the TAILWIND from the bird Pokemon allows the two to fly quickly east of the beach.[break][break][break]

Likewise, ’s Scolipede charges across the beach, clearing the path of breaching Megalopolans. With her Pokemon protecting her, she summons her Tentacruel to begin surfing east, hopefully in stealth.[break][break][break]

On Starmie, follows her. The Pokemon’s body hardens with COSMIC POWER— however, everyone in this vicinity would find a group of Megalopolans readying their Naganadel on a nearby island. They extend their stingers and fire THUNDERBOLTS at , , , and .[break][break][break]

These THUNDERBOLTS are empowered by ’s Tapu Koko’s ELECTRIC TERRAIN.[break][break][break]

NORTHERN PATH



AN INTELEON SNIPE SHOTS a Naganadel rider, puncturing his body with a powerful shot of water. As blood spills, ’s Urshifu and Dragapult make swift work of the abandoned dragon. Her Dragapult leaves first, allowing its owner to leap on to it.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

When ’s Dragonite DRAGON RUSHES a Naganadel from the air, @iris clobbers its recoiling body with her Swampert’s STONE EDGE. The stones fly through its body before slamming into several troops that land by and ’s Machamp and Mr. Mime. With his HARDENED Nincada, would see through the supplied WIDE GUARD that ’s beach tunnel is beginning to cave in…[break][break][break]

’s Machamp helps ’s Mr. Mime catch up with the rest. A TAILWIND from his Unfezant allows them to speed across the northern stretch of rock— but they encounter a group of Megalopolans stealthily hiding in archipelago ahead. Their Naganadel, like the ones stationed in the south, fire THUNDERBOLTS at them as well.[break][break][break]

THEIR RETALIATION


"ACTIVATE THE TRAMMELS." On a far eastern island, Velmos orders his subordinates. As the Megalopolans operate the machinery connected to these trammels at their base, the large black structures dig into the island's caves. They begin to charge with electricity, sending a dramatic pulse that roars deep in the earth— and under the ocean. At the sight, the Megalopolans on the islands take to the skies or take cover...[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Ultra Wormholes open up above each trammel. From these two otherworldly rifts, muscular Ultra Beasts struggle to slip out into the world. Another pulse of energy allows the Ultra Beasts to free themselves into the realm. From its small flat head, a threatening proboscis extends out like a sword. Bubbles float around its sac-like muscles, causing the gargantuan Ultra Beast to look like its own science experiment. Black spikes jut out from its body and its fists are dotted with violent red knuckles.[break][break][break]

The activated trammels cause the sea to churn dramatically. A terrifying TIDAL WAVE begins to form, surging toward everyone on the boats and the shore.[break][break][break]

"WAIT." Velmos' eyes track the surging wave, and as it nears the League forces, he issues the command. "SECOND SETTING." His Poipole rests on his shoulder as another Megalopolan fiddles with the controls. The Trammel closest to him pulses again.[break][break][break]

The Trammel pulses once more, and the Ultra Wormholes pulse with a dark energy. A SHADOW SHED cascades from the heavens and as the wave come close, every LIGHT SCREEN, REFLECT, or SAFEGUARD on the field dissipates.[break][break][break]

IT'S FULL OF PROMISE, PROMISE


[attr=class,bulk]

As the barriers erected by Orion and others flicker and fail, the councilman curses under his breath. Trammels pulse with otherwordly energy, Ultra Beasts slip from the skies, and the wave—[break][break]

It'll kill us all if we're not careful...[break][break]

Though gripped by terror, nothing has ever measured up to the fear he'd felt upon ascending an elevator in Ultra Space and witnessing the Megalopolans macabre feast. They would not take Hoenn so long as he stood. His features twist into a determined snarl.[break][break]

"STONE! I'm coming with you!" Without waiting for any confirmation, the councilman grabs the neck of his Hydreigon and hauls himself aboard. "Go on ahead, I'll follow after! Got something to deal with, first..."[break][break]

"I'm going to try and redirect the wave! Help if you can!" He calls out to those around him (, , , @sanvi, , , , ), but raises his voice to hopefully be heard by others as well. "Hydreigon!"[break][break]

With a throaty roar, the three-headed dragon does its best to take command of the tidal wave with its SURF.[break][break]

Orion's other Pokemon are instructed to remain behind to defend the shores; if they were to pursue a stealthy assault under cloud cover, the trio couldn't follow. Their attacks target anything that strays too close: HYDRO PUMP from the Swampert, AERIAL ACE from the Type: Null, and the Slowking's PSYCHIC burst.[break][break]

ROLLED 78[break]
link to proof
[break][break]

I posted on Gavin's account like a lemon, hence the above.[break]
Orion chooses to follow and when the screens break. (They're heading north under cloud cover, as detailed in Alexander's round 1 post.) He targets the tidal wave first and will follow them after, so as not to compromise their attempt to stealth.[break]
He mounts up on HYDREIGON, who uses SURF on the incoming tidal wave in an attempt to slow, stop, or reverse its path. Calls out for anyone with Surf or similar water attacks to assist.[break]
Orion's other Pokemon will remain stationed on the beach to assist in defense.[break]
Type: Null uses AERIAL ACE, Swampert uses HYDRO PUMP, and Slowking uses PSYCHIC on the closest threat(s).[break][break]

WAR OF THE WORLDS: LILYCOVE WARFRONT
POSTED ON Sept 17, 2020 18:44:42 GMT
mclaren mcflurry Avatar


Normal ain't normal,
𝐎 𝐑 𝐃 𝐈 𝐍 𝐀 𝐑 𝐘 is a luxury
If you wanna understand,
you stand 𝐔 𝐍 𝐃 𝐄 𝐑

mcflurry heard the seawater surge in and her steelix registered the cracks in the cave ceiling before anyone else. her glalie easily protected against some of the falling debris from the failing tunnel attempt.

"aw, mccrap — t-turn around! turn around!"

with that, the train of pokemon quickly made a u-turn underground as ocean water started pouring into the cave. damn, they hadn't even left the mainland basically, and the seabeds were this fragile? talk about bad luck.

mcflurry emerged out the beach ground holding onto her hat, her steelix looking a little wet from the soaked ground it was attempting to dig through.

"o-okay, not — that was a mcterrible idea, that. ...hm?"

mcflurry squinted, staring into the distant wave from her perch. and then, she freaked the fuck out, her voice quivering.

"tidal wave... tidal wave! magnet rise!"

the steel-type behemoth reacted accordingly, a strong magnetic field lifting its body. almost miraculously, the huge iron snake began to fly into the air, reaching the same altitude as the airborne megalopan forces in order to dodge the tidal wave.

mcflurry's eyes widened as she saw the naganadels and hordes of flying type pokemon. pulling out a poke ball, she released her abomasnow, and the ice-type begun holding onto another spike of the flying steelix.

"ugh, c'mon, we — aw, i don't want to get shot down..."

abomasnow's snow warning caused the clouds to gather above as the temperature started dropping rapidly. as hail started building up at their altitude, mcflurry's three other pokemon started firing off their anti-air support preemptively.

soon enough, two blizzards and a charge-powered discharge would start causing some huge area damage to the skies above.

———————

- mcflurry's steelix turned around! luckily, since they were only a short distance away (judging by the "few feet" comment in the mod post), she pops out on the beach relatively quickly.
- steelix used magnet rise, rising above the tidal wave — and subsequently meeting the megalopan forces at the same altitude.
- abomasnow's snow warning! the skies start to become more cloudy and colder! hail is starting to accumulate around mcflurry's position!
- abomasnow used blizzard! it targets any megalopan forces nearby! the attack is more potent and nigh-unavoidable due to hail!
- glalie used blizzard! it targets any megalopan forces nearby! the attack is more potent and nigh-unavoidable due to hail!
- golem used discharge! it targets any megalopan forces nearby! double the power from the charge from the previous round!
