    “I’ll be fine.” Rowan lied, watching as Sootopolis descended into chaos through the veil of his mask. There was some solace in knowing that had already been taken the night before, meaning his friend wouldn’t be subjected to the violence of this early morning. “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Words parroted from a text he’d read during his schooling, echoing the trepidation within him.

    Somewhere in this city was @izzy , and he didn’t have the time or foresight to warn his ex-fiancée of the oncoming attack. Would he be able to forgive himself should she end up among the dead? Argos and Heket stood close to Rowan, stalwart protectors that could sense his worry and remained sympathetic. Meanwhile Atlas was perched on a rooftop close to their own, watching for unseen threats.

    There was no need to announce his readiness over the communicators, seeing as Adrian had done so for him, and he’d rather keep the channel clear in case something important came up.

Chu-e pauses when 's partner breaches the water. Lugia's shadow bares down. He grins and the megaphone crackles in his grip.

The citizenry were seeing red. Chu-e had been doing his part to help rile them up.

Now, he had other things to do.

"Hey, Lambchop, we ready to move out?" His small team would have his back while they worked their own angle.

A Togekiss hung on one side of him while his Lopunny hung on the other. They were idle for now but ready for whatever might come at them.




- Chu-e is not doing much this post
- Was previously helping to rile up the citizens more
- Now waiting to confirm his team is ready to move out
- Togekiss and Lopunny active
- outfit/disguise
- Bay Level B

[attr="class","bryanbody"]bryan was flying above Chu-e  on his corviknight. He was wearing a generic undercover ops suit accompanied by his usual mask he work during his rocket work. [break][break]

His job was to protect chu-e, of course the man could handle himself but he was one of the faces of rocket.  Their goal was to make it to the sea temple and follow chu-e. He hears a man buzz in on the comms they have as he decided to mess with bryan's codename "Lamb or wolf please chu-e." he says patiently as now he understands why didn't want him calling him mr fox.  [break][break]

He had to make sure nothing serious happened to him or his allies bryan taps on his Klefki's head twice to signal that he is to use crafty shield on and  as soon as he can spot them.  [break][break]

The comms turned on again "Is everyone in position? To recap we're to start in Bay level B and move to the temple." he asked as they all received a message earlier with a map that was sectioned off to coordinate their location easily.

"big first day on the job. let's make a good impression yeah gutsy?" he talks with his golurk as he sits on the large pokemon's shoulder as it comes into the city from its skyline like a rocket on cruising speed. as they enter they make their way to the shores down by bay level A and as the golurk positions itself into a standing position as it slows its descent pokkenger is quick to jump off his pokemon and land in a superhero landing as his golurk's legs suddenly sprout underneath it and it lands with a thud shaking the ground and making the hero jump a little bit off the floor. looking around he can already see that things don't seem to be going well for the city as people are clamoring and rioting about rocket having their support.

"to unite all people within our nation huh? guess that motto of theirs really does have a nice ring to it. c'mon lets see if we can find any hiding around here." he takes out a walkie talkie from one of his belt's pouches and brings it close to his face, his helmet getting in the way and getting smacked in the process, "this is pokkenger. i'm down by the eastern shore, will scope around for any rockets hanging around, maybe calm the crowd around here a bit. over and out."

tldr;
    * kazimir arrives as pokkenger!
    * kazimir has golurk out with him!

he hears 's voice crackle through the intercom, and his throat is tight. even though multiple weeks has passed, nothing will quite erase the reminder of what he saw that fated day.

[break][break] stop, he reminds himself. you're being dramatic.

[break][break] luckily, veles is not here to add onto his self-deprecating thoughts. amongst the crowd protesting the current mayor is jayden himself, dressed in dark-colors and a mask to hide his identity. though the cat ears probably do no help, hiding him amongst them. he holds up similar painted sign, depicting the outrage the current civilian population feels at their current mayor who is currently stored in the silver spire.

[break][break] speaking of, his eyes shift upwards as the sight of soars overhead. "i'm ready," jayden's voice crackles through as he reports in. though he is in the center of the crowd, he is ready to slip out at a moment's notice to join his comrades in their move.

    Killian wore placid features, watching the situation unfold from Bay Level B. He stood atop his Metagross, its arms tucked inside its body, Magent Rise levitating it into the sky. Behind him Alakazam straddled Naganadel's neck. The Ultra Beast and its psychic rider cast an imposing shadow.[break][break]

    All their hard work was about to pay off in spades. Felt odd to be cast in the role of the people's heroes. As if he had lemon and peach together on his tongue, bittersweet.[break][break]

    [break]
    I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
    [break]
    [attr="class","leprosearlo"]

    Everything has been stressful back home. Apparently the people have started talking ‘Rocket this’ and ‘Rocket that’ in the few times he had been out in the streets. Though he was the hermit of the haunted house, it wasn’t like he went out often. [break][break]

    Though the noise outside was way too familiar, as they felt like the same screams from the dreams that haunt him. Thanks to the training of multiple wars now, the 3 day war being the most recent, Razz is quick to be up and ready. Equipping his Stun Baton, as well as hunting knife as he goes out. The ranger makes sure to call to the sky for help as he calls on three of his pokemon before ordering Salem and Sabrina to call for his water pokemon. Thanks to his home being at the very edge of the water there is some distance between his place and the rioters, and the panicked civilians. [break][break]

    It seems like not all were on board with what the masked figures were going on about, and with the large Jellicent along with a Naganadel helping with the civilians Razz knew he needed to do something. Grabbing a whistle he takes a deep breath and blows it. [break][break]

    [break]

    While he hates the attention he will not have another Kanto happen as long as he could help it. He doesn't care if Rangers are for pokemon problems, he is there to help and won't use that as an excuse to not step in. “Attention! Those of you looking to leave head to the shore! You will be escorted out, anyone who dares try to stop you will answer to me,” he calls for attention and while not everyone in sootopolis knew him outside his reputation as the one eye hermit, his Ranger Jacket was enough to show intention and authority. [break][break]

    With the aid of his Lucario and Greninja Razz does get civilians who want to leave toward the water. From there he directs people toward the beach with his water pokemon and tells them they would get them out of the city. Razz would keep an eye on rioters, while inside his jacket his Kartana keeps their attention on him. Meanwhile Razz calls for a few Rangers to come help him evacuate, only then noting the text from , but is too busy to answer back.

    between dealing with people or a giant pokemon with unknown capabilities, he'd rather deal with something he's somewhat certain he can run off from when necessary.

    he leaves an abandoned pokemart at level 1a with a slushie in hand and sunglasses over his eyes. a modified league police uniform was worn, shirt opened to show a t-shirt with a print of a silhouette of him alongside a mightyena, bought from the tournament that happened earlier. pants was also rolled up all the way below the knees, held together with a bobby pin he found on the pokemart.

    "what's your plan?" he asks , who he responded to come to sootopolis with. "i'm going to the cave of origin. you helping with the evacuation?"

    it's at this point that he releases his pokemon. he flicks one finger at the claydol, mouthing the move. moves that it knows then get imprisoned, though there was very little indication of it happening.

    beside him was his manectric, who starts to magnet rise from the ground, and his dragalge, camouflaged from plain view from the start. he takes a ride on his manectric, intent on going as soon as noah answers.

    VL1UR1_j


    tl;dr
    • kyle exits a pokemart with noah
    • claydol uses imprison
    • manectric uses magnet rise
    • dragalge is camouflaged
    • kyle is about to move towards cave of origins

    opportunistic bandits had threatened the abandoned store on LEVEL 1A. regardless of one's affiliation, the chaos bred avarice like pairs and pairs of binacle emerging from a sootopolan sea.

    noah's machamp leaves first, holding the door to survey the echoing auditorium of conflict. he grabs 's arm, summoning his bouffalant and diggersby beside them.

    "i'll cover you for now." noah says. "just in case you need back up." a small squeeze anticipates the departure of his hand.

    mounting his bouffalant, his diggersby and machamp mobilize. fists collide with the white stone as noah covers kyle from level 1a.

    tl;dr


    - noah is on level 1a
    - his machamp, diggersby and bouffalant are out

    "Is this some kind of stupid joke...?" Muttered Captain Sullivan as he lowered the binoculars, teeth grit as his hand attempted (futilely) to crush the item in its grip.

    Standing atop one of the taller buildings of district 1B, the youth sneered at the circus down below, having obtained exactly what he had wanted and yet being none too happy about it.

    The people of Sootopolis were actually helping the Rockets? Had the bloody smear campaigns really worked this well? It was nonsensical.

    "This country is made of fucking idiots." He muttered under his breath as he lowered his brow to his hand and squeezed tightly, before breathing out lowly and grabbing his comm.

    "Winstrate Company, you heard Councilman ! Prioritize the evac of civilians over confrontation! Guide them- or indeed, force them- to the evacuation points. Employ commonsense were necessary." He said, stressing the last part specially.

    He turned his gaze up to the sky as a massive shadow tore out of Sootopolis' lake and reached for the sky. A fearsome beast soared through the sky- Lugia, the 'peaceful' guardian of the seas of whom had once spoken to him.

    The youth's gaze darkened, his hand reaching to pat his Escavalier's crest.

    "Watch that ugly thing carefully, Bedy." He muttered, both of their eyes following the god turned monster as it flew over the city. "Learn its reflexive patterns, the limits of its movements..."

    The knightly bug nodded slowly as it rolled its right arm, a strange, heavy contraption strapped to it that it slowly affixed towards Lugia, pointing it at its head.

    "Because you are gonna be the one to kill it." The bug nodded, filled with d e t e r m i n a t i o n.

    With that said, the youth turned his gaze towards the Orbeetle besides him, rolling his neck to try and work off the weight of the steel upon it.

    "Can you feel her nearby?" He asked, his brow twisted in worry and anger. The bug didn't immediately answer, instead broadening its senses to their limits, its eyes shining with a blue glow.

    Was their kidnapee, still in the city...?

    Team Rocket was finally on the move.[break][break]

    Revenge was nearing. Their destruction was nigh...[break][break]

    But now wasn't the time to go after them. Things had to be done in order. And with the shard that was given to him, with the message from Dahlia, as he departed Evergrande, he at least knew a part of what he had to do. Disembarking Celesteela at Bay Level A, the Alolan looked at what was happening: the riots and chaos covering this city he once protected.[break][break]

    No use voicing his thoughts on their stupidity. The man looked over at Pokkenger and threw a communicator at him. "There's 2 channels to it: direct line to me, and communication to all of league. Stay in touch at all times. And do not, I repeat, DO NOT do anything stupid. If it gets rough, contact me."[break][break]

    Balder turned and faced the Silver Spire. A place full of memories for him. he then pressed the communicator upon his hear. "Balder here. I'm gonna light the place up in a bit. Get your sunglasses ready." He then called His Togekiss on the field, and the Shadow Shieldon emerged from a Shadow Ball, latching on Balder's arm. Both the Togekiss and the Celesteela prepared themselves with their status boosting moves, in case chaos came to them.[break]

    At least these weren’t aliens.

    That’s going to be Katherine’s mantra for the day. No aliens. No aliens that she can’t control, at least. There were no Megalopolans in Rocket as far as she was aware, and the amount of Ultra Beasts in their possession wasn’t too high either.

    At least these weren’t aliens.

    These were just former co-workers, part former allies, part former friends. This was surely easier to handle than an alien invasion.

    As she settles into her new position in Level 2B, her Pokémon ready themselves. Her lone Noivern scours the land from above, a SUPERSONIC wave used to pick up on any presences near Katherine. Through its innate TELEPATHY ability, it alerts the rest of Katherine’s team of any potential threats.

    Both the Shadow Meowstic and the Shadow Aegislash retain their silence, processing said information without so much of a squeak.

    In the meantime, while they wait, Katherine chews on blueberry-flavored gum.

    |f2TnXpI



    tl;dr: Katherine is currently in LVL 2B.
    Shadow Aegislash and Shadow Meowstic are both near her. Noivern is flying above, using SUPERSONIC to detect nearby people + transferring said information through its TELEPATHY.
    She chews on gum while they wait for someone to make a move.

    The sight of the Shadow Lugia left the boy frozen in place. Never before in his life had he seen something so majestic, yet so fearsome. A chill ran down his spine even more so at its cry. [break][break]

    He was confused, he was shocked, he was scared. [break][break]

    The commotion that had been caused by the people of Sootopolis woke him up from his slumber. He did not expect to end up in a situation like this. He was not sure what kind of situation he was in, but it was definitely a bad one. [break][break]

    He then saw someone familiar. Someone he had only seen in the medias and not in person. The Pokkenger. Which gave him hope a little, and knocked him back into his senses. He needed to get away from there. [break][break]

    From his backpack, he took a Poke Ball and pressed the button on its center, out from it came a Milotic. Usually the Milotic would come out with a cry. But she didn’t. Mason guessed she too could feel the sheer presence of the Shadow Lugia. [break][break]

    ON THE HIGHEST STAGE, the four members of the League have the best view of the graduated chaos. While and his TORTERRA assist with evacuations, others take subtler options. , in his vigilante gear decides to move down toward 's home. On the other hand, and hide in the former's home. The house is abuzz the latter’s Pokemon. In preparation, ’s EKANS begins to STOCKPILE with purple anticipation.

    LEVEL 2



    THE FOLLOWING LAYER is infiltrated by Team Rocket. Communications are held clandestinely. 's radio communication reaches 's on the other side as a SHADOW LUGIA bursts from the sea. On rooftop, 's DARKRAI surveys the scene, an ominous reaper in the night.[break][break]

    While 's SWAMPERT holds overwatch on a nearby rooftop, 's NOIVERN does the same, soaring over ahead to emit SUPERSONIC. Her dragon would detect a panicking in a back alley of LEVEL 1 B.[break][break]

    In the meantime, and prepare with their underboss and head scientist on the western side. Itching to get going— they stand ready, prepared to support the cause of their syndicate with power and healing.

    LEVEL 1



    ON THE SUBSEQUENT LEVEL, remains stunned alongside their MILOTIC as the SHADOW LUGIA emerges from the sea. Nearby, remains on Bouffalant as he watches the Champion descend to the bay in order to reach the CAVE OF ORIGIN.[break][break]

Soldiers rush under his orders, assisting those who desire evacuation and fending off those who have turned to Rocket's cause. His ORBEETLE unfortunately can not detect 's presence. Her kidnapping is a silent death within this rioting city. Much like , is drawn to 's property in the lowermost level. His LATIAS flies overhead, invisible among the rooftops.

    AS HEADS TOWARDS THE CAVE OF ORIGIN on his MAGNET RISEN MANETRIC, and the Pokkenger () arrive on mecha-like mounts. The stars are captured by the hero's visor and are reflected in the sea before them. As 's CELESTEELA hastens itself by the hero's GOLURK, resurfaces closer to the east on her LAPRAS after witnessing the SHADOW LUGIA'S departure. She has experienced war once; her spear gun weighs heavy with the memory.[break][break]

    After shouts orders for potential evacuees, he is unaware of the impending threats that surround him. , , wait patiently for the right time as a CRAFTY SHIELD glows lightly across them. The megaphone in Underboss 's hand has proven to be the most effective weapon so far— the crowd ebbs and flows like a terrible wave protesting the gravity of the League.[break][break]

    As 's METAGROSS MAGNET RISES, feigns panic and fear by her JELLICENT. Playing her role, she inspires sympathy from those unaware and kindhearted. In contrast, @izzy, who is unaware of her ex-fiance's presence in the city, does her best to keep safe. She hears 's orders as she assists the panic-stricken populace with her BUNEARY.

    IMPORTANT INFO


    YOU MAY BEGIN ATTACKING THIS ROUND.[break]
    IF YOU ROLLED 75 OR HIGHER, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE LEVELS AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR POST INSTEAD.

    AS THE NIGHT GROWS COLDER, everyone may begin to take the occasional misstep or witness a visual glitch. Stone detritus begins to fall from the Sootopolan whiterock— but such details may be hard to discern or blamed on the chaos, especially due to the high density of Pokemon and humans.[break][break]

    and capture a glimpse of near the northern shore of the BAY LEVEL— but a blink is all it takes for the figure to disappear. Is this the real ? Furthermore, the PRIMAL SHARDS , , and hold begin to twitch ever so slightly.

    UPDATE!!:[break]
    SNAKES & LADDERS


    THIS EVENT'S BATTLEFIELD has been separated into levels (e.g. bay level, level 1-3). For this round, CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TO ATTACK THOSE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THEM or DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW THEM (e.g. level 2b can attack characters on level 3b and level 1b)[break][break]

    Characters can only traverse to another level once per post and at the end of their post (i.e. you can not switch levels at the beginning of your post and attack).[break][break]

    The Trickster, , can use his newfound powers as Hoopa avatar, to TELEPORT ANYWHERE ON THE MAP with his Pokemon. He can do this at the end of his post.[break][break]

    Furthermore, characters can only traverse to a level that's directly adjacent to them (e.g. characters on level two can move to level one or three- but not the bay level) and to anywhere on the same level (just consider how long it may take).[break][break]

    Events in the raid will shake this mechanic up. Stay tuned— and don't get too comfortable!


    MAP & OBJECTIVES


    PLEASE CLICK ON THE SPOILER TAGS to open and read the following sections.[break][break]

    UPDATED MAP


    BELOW, UNDER THE SPOILER TAGS, is a map for the raid. This map may not be updated every single round (if can't keep up with its maintenance). To view a larger version of the map, please click on the image.[break][break]

    [break]

    Please note that this map is not necessarily 1:1 with the setting. It is meant to be a visual guide rather than be precise, accurate representation of the field.[break][break][break][break]

    GUIDING OBJECTIVES


    THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES are not mandatory to complete; however, they will provide guidance for what your characters will be trying to accomplish for the round or the raid. Occasionally, these will be updated depending on the events of the raid.[break][break]

    • LEAGUE: stave off the Rocket threat long enough for the Cave of Origin or Silver Spire to be warped out.
    • LEAGUE: plant primal crystal shards/fused crystal on either the Cave of Origin or Silver Spire to warp out (you can not fulfill this objective until the later rounds).
    • ROCKET: route League forces/force them to retreat.


    RULES & GUIDELINES



    INSTRUCTIONS


    PLEASE READ the following notes and rules.[break][break]

    First, I will not be able to spotlight every single character and pokemon's actions within a moderator post. If a detail has been omitted, depending on the action, assume that it has contributed to a success, failed, or have it resolved collaboratively with another player that is affected by it. I'll make sure to spotlight everyone by the end of the raid, however![break][break]

    Please exercise respect, humility, and a willingness to collaborate. Should RP etiquette be broken in this thread, your character may be promptly removed. Furthermore, should you miss the posting deadline, there is a chance that your character will be ejected from the raid.[break][break]

    • 6 Pokémon per character (excluding avatar power related Pokémon).
    • 3 Pokémon out max at a time (excluding avatar power related Pokémon).
    • 1 move per Pokémon.
    • soft word count limit of 300.
    • too long; don't read (tl;dr) notes are required (please make them concise).
    • bold/highlight Pokémon moves/abilities.
    • highlight which level you are on.
    • you must ROLL using the roll command with each post.
    [break]

    Remember, this site is statless! Stat-raising moves will most likely cause a brief "boost or de-boost" to an action.

    Since they're ready, he hops on his Togekiss with his Lopunny at his back. A voice catches his attention as Peeks rises so he orders the pokemon to stop.

    "Kingsman!" Is called out, without the aide of the megaphone. He pushes his mask up for a moment so the other can get a look at him; Razz had already figured out his connections with Rocket even if he didn't know exactly his standing. The megaphone is raised up, crackles before he speaks. "Everyone! If you don't want to be in Sootopolis, this Ranger will assist you! Do not impede him!" Then the megaphone is tossed at - underhanded, so that the younger man could catch it.

    Then the mask was slipped back on and he set out for the Sea Temple.

    He landed at the base and called back his Togekiss. His Delcatty and Ninetails were called out. A quick whistle and his Ninetails started to whip up a Hail, hoping to make it harder for anyone else that was incoming. The Delcatty opened her mouth, energy gathering, ready to defend. His Lopunny stayed close at his side, ears twitching and on the lookout.
