[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] ROUTE 4
“I DON’T KNOW.” The voice cracks in a high pitch squeal as Priam forces it to resurface from the depths of his consciousness. “Just make sure you survive! Do you know how long it took me to store up this amount of energy?”
[break][break][break]
The relic rattles within his hands. It’s teeming with life. A faint orange aura that only Priam, bearer of the LEGENDARY MARK, can see. To those outside, the only signs of change is his branded tattoo that flickers with calescent colors.
[break][break][break]
The artificial Regice has no issue with FREEZING Cait’s Bisharp solid. The Pokemon is encased in ice, unable to move as the titan prepares another attack. However, it never finds the window to launch the follow-up. Priam’s Alakazam interferes with a bloodthirsty FOCUS BLAST.
[break][break][break]
That's just the moment the Bisharp needs to break free. It responds with a METAL BURST, returning the damage but amplified to a higher level. Assaulted by the power of a Shadow Pokemon as well as a reflection of its own strength, the makeshift golem stutters backwards, pieces falling apart as it comes undone. It starts to glow white, priming a heated EXPLOSION.
[break][break][break]
In the thick of battle, Cait will spot one method of escape: a one-person sized hole on the other end of the Regigigas statue. All three will be able to escape but they must squeeze in one at a time. Thankfully, she is the only one to realize it, guided by her innate FUTURE SIGHT.
[break][break][break]
Registeel finds little obstacle in the TRICK ROOM. When it enters the perimeter it slows down, but only for a second. Several dots chirp in unison as the titan recalculates. With machine like precision, the Registeel readjusts its movements, even faster than before thanks to the TRICK ROOM’S attributes.
[break][break][break]
[break]
It rams against the Stakataka’s PROTECT. The barrier doesn’t break but the SUPERPOWER of the golem starts to push the Ultra Beast back, inch by inch. The longer the struggle the more the Stakataka bulges, leaving Gavin in the direct path of some abrasive steel on steel action.
ROUTE 3
KAZIMIR’S HEROICS is the only thing that keeps them afloat. The pressure of the world mounts onto his shoulders. He can feel it in his muscle, aching underneath the weight. Below him, the Megalopolan is freed from his bindings. The reveal of his appearance is hideous in comparison to the ones they’ve encountered before.
[break][break][break]
The traditional blue-grey skin they’re known for is much darker in comparison. It’s a smooth, cool midnight saturation, worn across a withered frame of exposed muscles and bones. The prisoner, seemingly male from his exposed chest, or lack thereof, is a husk of a humanoid frame. Noticeably, he lacks any hair or nails, only a white skulled mask covering his actual face.
[break][break][break]
“You do too much,” he breaths out in labored gasps. “They have come to your world because living in theirs is too harsh. This world filled with people and Pokemon that look so plump. They can’t help but hunger and yet you do this—”
[break][break][break]
He coughs once before trying to push himself upright. He can’t, too weak, and pinned underneath.
[break][break][break]
“If you can escape, leave me behind. We do not deserve such kindness.”
[break][break][break]
Up above, Zac works tirelessly to free them from their coffin. Rocks of all sizes are tossed aside. The burly man spares no effort in carving a direct path to the bond that binds them. His call for their companion echoes through the tunnel but he hears no response. Only the sound of debris landing behind him as his Pokemon continue to work.
[break][break][break]
His devotion to his friend is rewarded when a hole opens up. He can’t quite see through the darkness but the gap is enough for Kazimir to feel the sudden rush of air flow through. The sound of his struggle to keep their bubble intact calls for Zac to release him.
[break][break][break]
It’s big enough for a Pokemon to enter but should it prove too bulky or its movements too erratic, the whole heap might collapse. If Kazimir makes a sudden jolt, he may be able to escape but that would leave the Megalopolan to be crushed below. And should they try to let the Megalopolan crawl out first, will Kazimir be able to hold for so long? Can the Megalopolan even make it?
[break][break][break]
Their choices are varied and never quite defined but each comes with their own set of consequences.
TRUE PATH
ONLY ADRIAN’S KUBFU dares face the Regirock head on. In the throes of danger the Pokemon’s INNER FOCUS proves paramount into predicting just where to match the titan’s punch. Suddenly, a PROTECT is sprung from Dahlia’s Dragonite, slowing the attack before it pushes her and her Pokemon backwards.
[break][break][break]
A dynamic COUNTER brings the Regirock’s second swing to a stop. They’re drawn to a standstill. The velocity and power behind the Kubfu’s attack is twice the Regirock’s but it’s still missing something. The strength and size granted by its DYNAMAX form is not something that can be mimicked and after an excruciating few milliseconds the Kubfu is launched into one of the chamber’s walls at a startling speed.
[break][break][break]
Dahlia, spared in comparison to the Kubfu embedded to the wall next to her, is able to swap her Pokemon out with relative ease considering her condition.
[break][break][break]
It is Katherine who seemingly understands the threat of this beast. Being unable to phase through its HYPER BEAM earlier, and the only one to be subjected to incomprehensible pain so far, she avoids it altogether with Giratina’s aid. However, the distortion within the chamber causes pink DYNERGY to spark. Bypassing the laws of space, at least within the temple, will require greater exertion from the phantom itself.
[break][break][break]
When she reappears, she joins the couple as their de facto third wheel. Three’s company finds umbrella protection underneath Angelo’s DYNAMAXED Roggenrola. Rubble from above bounces harmlessly from the Pokemon’s solid surface.
[break][break][break]
What they have to really think about is the sudden inclusion of Hoenn’s number one shit starter. As her Nihilego takes to the field, it immediately answers her call by flushing a SLUDGE WAVE toward the great golem. And while neither Angelo or Skyler are in the immediate splash zone, due to Katherine’s proximity to them, the Roggenrola is just as easy of a target as Regirock.
[break][break][break]
Acid eats through stone regardless of whether it’s pillar, floor, or Pokemon. The audible sound of erosion singes from both Pokemon. Due to their fantastical size, it’s far from life threatening—a low burn that digs deeper until the liquid evaporates with distance—but its effectiveness is as clear as day. Both Regirock and Roggenrola end up BADLY POISONED.
[break][break][break]
In response, the Regirock immediately turns around in a spinning pivot. Any focus it had on Adrian is abandoned in accordance with Skyler’s attention. As per their ‘bond’, the Regirock takes off for the other side of the chamber, picking up speed as it revolves into top-like BULLDOZE toward Katherine, Skyler, Angelo, and their respective Pokemon.
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
And while it may be impossible for her to tell in the thick of battle, the lack of damage sustained from the temple itself is evident enough that her Florges has expired.
[break][break][break]
Razz and Lars find their fall met with an anti-climatic end. The darting red figure of his Buzzswole safely delivers him from danger. Likewise, Lars’ powers will keep him suspended, slowly descending as Angelo’s Scizor coincidentally comes up to meet him.
[break][break][break]
As for his Metagross? It lands opposite of both parties, making the last corner for the triangle that surrounds Regirock. Its MAGNET RISE seems to dissipate as the Pokemon proves too heavy to levitate anymore.
[break][break][break]
All players have joined the game.
[break][break][break]
May fortune be forever in their favor.
