[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]TEMPLE OF REGIROCK  [attr="class","omgenmid"] DANGEROUS DISCOVERIES RAID SETTING: MID-DECEMBER [player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qlvgdm1RxI1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player][break][break] TRUE PATH: CONCLUSION
IN A ROOM FULL OF AVATARS and prospective potentials, the outcome falls into the hands of the person most willing to showcase their boon out in the open. katherine’s obtuse demonstration of GRAVITY flips the chessboard in her favor. trainer and pokemon alike start to rise with the exception of the regi-phant in the room.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
her dragapult retreats back into its PHANTOM FORCE, alienated as it looks to prey on the disoriented adrian. to his rescue, is the burly arms of razz’s ultra beast. the swollen membranes of the pokemon’s grotesque muscles provide ample protection from the ghost’s resurfacing.
[break][break]
it’s attack is as merciless as its trainer. this time, the pokemon looks to capitalize on the opportunity created. no matter the cost. and, if not for razz’s interference, it would’ve maimed adrian as intended. such a conclusion is evident in the way the dragon leaves a terrible gash against the BULKED UP buzzswole’s biceps. had adrian received it instead, he would’ve found himself easily disarmed—literally.
[break][break]
the impact of the attack causes the pokemon to be launched back. it can no longer shield adrian, forced to drop him back into GRAVITY’s embrace. it’s the only way it can defend and retaliate against the dragapult with its ICE PUNCH. a mighty wallop from the pokemon’s still good arm send the dragapult just as far back, permafrost slowly encroaching across the dragon’s forehead.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
by some miracle, the REGIROCK REMNANT stays within his arms. the item seems glued to him, notably stuck to his hand from the moment he tries to siphon from it once more. in contrast, his power seems weaker this go around. with katherine standing in direct opposition as another conduit, he’s unable to reroute the flow of his remnant completely.
[break][break]
his tether is split right down the middle. a synchronous stream of DYNERGY continues to feed the regirock while the other portion loops back to him. the pain he felt before shoots up his arm but the drop in intensity makes it bearable.
[break][break]
as his tether wanes, katherine’s continues to grow. it’s beyond domineering, tilting the scales in her favor beyond absolution. her remnant grows bright, luminescent as it floats on its own accord. it seems to bend to her whim, energized by the surplus of energy.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
in contrast, adrian’s darkens. the bright purple dilutes closer and closer into a stone brown. a tinge of his DARK AURA sparks where his skin makes contact, a phenomenon only visible to him, before he hears a warning of disaster.
[break][break]
brittle chipping. a spiderweb of cracks line the surface of his piece until it splinters apart. its reduced to dust before his very eyes, gone to the wind as powder slips between his fingers.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
his prized treasure is stolen away in the worst of ways. for all his suffering, he now has nothing to show for it. the crux of their conflict, orchestrator of his victimization, leaves him with nothing but the battered experience of being pincered by his fellow explorers.
[break][break]
what happens next should come to no surprise. while lars’ conjecture is nothing more than that—a guess, the regirock’s behavior seems to lend some credibility to his hypothesis. it starts to rattle and shake controllably, spitting out a vast array of beeps, triggered by adrian’s tether evaporating from existence. with him out of the picture, katherine is the only one with a visible connection to it, causing it to turn around and presumably on him.
[break][break]
but it does not attack. instead, it starts to absorb more of its surroundings at an accelerated rate. conflagrations of DYNERGY discharge from its body, lashing out like wild lightning, up until it drives lars’ silvally uneasy. under the duress of conditional orders and the pokemon’s unstable outburst, the silvally attacks. charging at it.
[break][break]
the SILVALLY MEMORY’s influence causes the MULTI-ATTACK to change color. an aura of ice blue coat the artificial canine from head to toe, running on last minute fumes as it topples the unstable regirock.
[break]
[break]
[break]
[break][break]
which sets it off. like a ticking time bomb, that last attack is enough to stop its reformation and start its SELF DESTRUCTION. a wild trail of HYPER BEAM and DYNERGY is expelled in random directions as it tries to expunge the surplus of power. in one instance, the attack cuts through the ceiling, leaving a visible hole as the whole chamber starts to rumble. walls being to collapse, the foundations upon which they stand start to falter. once again, the temple starts to descend, threatening to be swallowed up by the sands of the dessert.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
with the barrier gone, there is nothing left to hold them here except their own tenacity to see this through. but here is not the time nor place. as their roof comes down, boulders lodge themselves between them, creating rifts and pockets that separate one from another.
[break][break]
to no surprise, skyler and angelo are long gone.
[break][break]
as each trainer exits they will find an EXPLOSION erupt from whence they came. fragments of stone and debris coat their clothes. dust cakes their skin. but, in the chaos, pieces of their adventure line their pockets.
[break][break]
for katherine will find her remnant pulsating with DYNERGY long after the ruin collapses. its ability to levitate dies with the ruins but it seems to radiate life. should she choose to take up the help of those around her, she will find those around her are just as clueless. her prize, for all its efforts, is nothing more than lustrous jewel.
[break][break]
only in the distortion world will she find it somewhat responsive. in the nether void, it will occasionally spark at its own convenience, like a stillborn heart waiting to come back to life.
[break][break]
as for adrian, his prize is less than material. a conflict without resolution leaves him empty handed. only the bruises from his battle make it out of the ruins alive. between his injuries, fatigue, and destruction behind him, his eyes betray him with the illusion of a glamor across his arm. along the painful nerves that came with trying to tap into the DYNERGY are the sigils of an unknown origin.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
when he blinks, they’re no longer there, gone and forgotten well past the end of the year. the more time passes the more doubt festers, their lack of presence reassuring him that they never existed at all.

having been approximate to the buzzwole in hoping to make his escape, he would be baffled by the development of an additional tether from regirock. where moments ago he assumed an exclusive link, he now realized his postulations to be... flawed. he can only hope it has not signaled yet another change of heart in the titan. retreating further into buzzwole's embrace would've been his move, but even as he had already maneuvered towards it, it would come to pass that katherine once again dabbled in her influence. gravity shifts upwards after a warning to her colleague, prompting him to take another step in retreat from the perceived yet unknown threat.
