It’s like clockwork how small fears come to fruition, the onset of a flood making all begin their rush to the first canoes they could set themselves into.

Kim was no exception, ensuring others had gotten into canoes before he had done so himself— Hoopa shifting a hole overhead; a groggy Dragonite falls through, a splash of water accompanying her thud.

Sorry if I woke you girl, but I need you on lifeguard duty.

After Kim hopped into a canoe himself the Dragonite floated idly to the side, ready to pounce into action.


here and not, getting a post out with what little time i have

ღ hoopa hoops in Kim’s dragonite and it’s in lifeguard duty floating near the canoes kim is in

ღ kim hopped into whatever canoes was free, i think it was the left

DEATH ENABLED EVENT
SCHEDULED END: DECEMBER(?)



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qx2tyk3Oqo1yrg70yo1.mp3[/player]
[break]
NEW THEME!


ALL ABOARD!


WATER SURGES INTO THE CHAMBERS. The sheer weight of the tide makes it impossible to dally for too long. 's STARMIE will find it impossible to teleport the CLAMPERL, while will find that his request to revive the CLAMPERL is an equally impossible task. For revival takes time— and the cave floods so fast and fiercely that one is at risk of being battered and crushed to death against the walls.[break][break]

Thankfully, the passive healing from and @doug allow for , , and to recoup their spirits. The creeping nausea of poison fades.[break][break]

The smaller chamber's floor opens and the expedition has divided themselves accordingly:
[break][break]


LEFT CANOE (7):

, , , , , , .[break][break][break][break]

RIGHT CANOE (9):

, , , , , , , , .[break][break][break][break]

OUTSIDE (1):

.


AS THE CANOES DIP INTO A STEEP SLOPE, the seawater drenches them on all all sides. Pokemon from the sea had seen leap past them. Magikarp, Mantyke, and Basculin flop as the leap into the air, scattering harsh droplets on soft skin. Thankfully, the lights from and 's LANTURN & CHINCHOU allow the party to see what is coming next. Panels of stone jut out from the descending tunnel's sides. They are in the shape of a LUGIA'S DARK FINS— and while the water weight and volume pushes these panels down, a few fail to close.[break][break]

Each canoe crashes into a panel of stone. A few in the left canoe (, , ) smack their heads against the canoe or each other's skulls. Dazed, their next ROLL must be made with DISADVANTAGE (TAKE THE LOWER OF TWO ROLLS).[break][break]



Thankfully, the extra protection in the form of 's ALOMOMOLA'S PROTECT and 's KINGLER'S WIDE GUARD prevents the former and her husband from being concussed. , who is on SAMUROTT will find that they are becoming significantly outpaced by the canoes. Furthermore, their trusty sea-mount finds themselves struggling against DEBRIS & FOREIGN POKEMON smacking their sides. They may risk this venture— but will realize their SAMUROTT WILL NEED TO BE PUSHED TO ITS LIMITS TO KEEP UP. Similarly, 's MILOTIC must brave these harsh waters.


LEFT OR RIGHT?


[break]
FOR NOW, WHILE THE LEFT CANOE IS CLOSE TO THE RIGHT CANOE AND KAZIMIR, their descent is clarified by light. The tunnel splits into two; however, both routes feature unnerving threats.[break][break]



One BASCULIN swims toward the left. In its haste, it strikes a QWILFISH which immediately EXPLODES. A terrible splash and rumbling shakes the drenched bones of every canoer. Against the wall, the light of and 's Pokemon would reveal a splattered carcass against the stone walls.[break][break]

Another Pokemon, a MAGIKARP, swims toward the right. The entire width of the path ramps upward, forcing the MAGIKARP to JUMP USING ITS MOMENTUM. However, as it reaches its peak, several JELLICENT materialize. The MAGIKARP PHASES THROUGH THEIR GHOSTLY BODIES. Inside these jellyfish, the flesh remains to be digested, while the bones continue to soar before splashing into the cold brine.[break][break]



Regardless, the CANOES MUST CHOOSE ONE PATH OR THE OTHER. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR BOTH CANOES TO GO INTO ONE ROUTE. Passengers of the LEFT AND RIGHT CANOES must unanimously decide where to go (discuss in Discord?).[break][break]

L/R CANOE


THE CANOES CAN ONLY COMFORTABLY FIT 8 PEOPLE EACH. However, your adventuring party has a total of 17 TRAINERS. The boat that is OVERCAPACITY will suffer difficulty and possible disadvantages coming ahead.[break][break]

The RIGHT CANOE IS OVERCAPACITY & CURRENTLY LACKS GUIDING LIGHT. , , , , , , , , and will all need to roll with DISADVANTAGE (TAKE THE LOWER OF TWO ROLLS). Similarly, will need to roll with DISADVANTAGE, for the current is violent and unforgiving.[break][break]

Furthermore, the obstacles may cause the canoe to flip or force passengers overboard as flotsam. Attempt to HANG ON as best as you can.


GUIDING PROMPTS:[break]
1. React to the obstacles ahead.[break]
2. Choose a path for the canoe to take.[break]
3. Attempt to overcome the obstacles in some fashion.[break]
4. Communicate with Kazimir.
[break][break]

RULES & GUIDELINES



INSTRUCTIONS


THIS IS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE EVENT. The days in between mod posts will shift a little bit here in order for to properly space this raid and GEOMANCY.[break][break]

During this round, you must ROLL AT LEAST ONCE, for it may help determine the outcome of certain actions![break][break]

Lastly, feel free to multi-post if it is just BANTER or ARGUMENT about which route to take. Characters can argue with those in their own canoes, or those in the other canoe/Kazimir. However, the moment your character performs an action to OVERCOME THE OBSTACLES, they must ROLL and stop posting.[break][break]

Do note, will be allowed to keep HOOPA OUT as IC-justification for "his unlimited access to his PERSONAL COMPUTER'S POKEMON."
[break][break]

a poor qwilfish EXPLODES, leaving him and everyone else drenched with water and fishie guts. he wipes some off his face, focusing on the issue that awaits them.

"RIGHT CANOE!"

from the pyukumuku on his back, a veil of SAFEGUARD pulses, wrapping around the canoe and its occupants.

"CANOE PROPELLERS — HELP GET THE CANOE UP THE RAMP!"

his voice echoes through the wet cavern.

"JELLICENT BENDERS — TRY AND PART THE JELLICENT!"

he looks at at the front of the canoe.

"LEAD THE WAY, CAP!"
NOTES

- RIGHT CANOE going RIGHT

Above them the rocks loom low, it’s oppressive walls inching ever closer with every wild wave that sends the canoe lurching upwards.[break][break]

Discomfort for the cramped conditions is alleviated by the rampaging beating of Angelo’s heart however, adrenaline surging with every splash of bitter water that stings against tanned skin and jolting turbulence of the rapids. [break][break]

Holy shit!” His adrenaline-fueled shouts spiral into curse words on more than one occasion, always closely followed by sharp barks of laughter. Calloused fingers tether himself tightly to the edge of the canoe, knuckles white. [break][break]

It’s easy to ignore the darkness that crushes down from above, when he hungers for the thrill of danger so… [break][break]

For the feeling of being alive.[break][break]

’s shouts are but distant muffles in his ear thanks to the roaring of the water, however the fast-approaching incline as they swerve RIGHT is more than enough for Angelo to move into action. [break][break]

With a flash, the Chimecho clinging to his arm is replaced by a bird of the ocean, his Pelipper fluttering and skimming the waves with ease as it falls back. Her robust frame finds a perch on the back of the canoe, talons gripping the edge of their craft. [break][break]

With numerous powerful strokes of her wings, a TAILWIND is brewed over the RIGHT CANOE AND ITS OCCUPANTS. Wind howls down the tunnel, launching them towards the ramp with rapidly increasing momentum… [break][break]

Arms in, people! I’m not responsible for any lost limbs!” Shouts the qualified pilot.

The wake pulls their canoes forward doorways opening as they pushed into a stream- path’s diverging further up.

Kim, wiping away the droplets of water that had speckled onto his face and into his eyes, looked over to the other canoe, a slight smirk on his face as he spotted the overloaded life raft.

Whole lotta cheeks up in that one.” He says to no one in particular before his eyes shoot forward, the remains of a basculin splattered against the wall.

Oh shit…

Shaking the Hoopa in his clutch, previously held under his arms like a sack of potatoes, Kim holds it up to his own face.

Can you like… hoop us to the other side of the minefield?


Why do I always gotta do stuff? Do something yourself for once, big man.

Kim only bites his lip at the notion, doing his best to hold back the frustration at the temperamental sways of this impish god.

See this is why… Nevermind, get me Bella.

The Hoopa, though resentful of the request, adheres, hooping the Dragonite back where it came and in turn replacing it with a Gothorita, the pokemon landing in the boat gently.



There’s only a second between the Gothorita mockingly sneering at the sight of Kim’s suit and its attention turning towards the Qwilfish, PSYCHIC hoisting a handful of the pufferfish out of the water and into the air- holding them there for the time being.

Alright crew… anybody got a pokemon with Damp? Maybe a psychic type that knows how to play minesweeper? Open to suggestions here, y’all can act how you see fit, just don’t get us killed.


ღ hoopa+kim banter

ღ hoopa switches out dragonite for gothorita

ღ gothorita uses psychic on a handful of qwilfish and holds them in the air

ღ kim tells his leftside lackeys to do something

“Oddio, che palle!*”

The very first words out of Lars’s mouth and it just had to be cuss words.

He knew that Angelo would understand that, no questions asked—and he looked up at the headroom of the path that they were now taking.

Matias’s shouts are lost on him (if he was being honest, so are Angelo’s) however fact of the matter is that there were a bunch of Jellicent up ahead—and he then remembered how Skyler had a phobia of the type…

“Sky, if you want to get out of this in one piece, I advise you to DUCK!” he shouted as he quickly summoned his Gastly—it was the smallest Pokémon he had, but this Gastly knew two attacks that could repel the Jellicent out of the way.

Because hilariously, whoever had decided to make Jellicent had made them weak to their own type!

“Aim at the Jellicent!” he added as the Gastly hovered above his head.

“Dark Pulse!”

An ominous beam of negative energy is then lobbed at the Jellicent from the Gastly’s maw, a rudimentary attempt at minesweeping from a distance.

And alarmingly, there was still no word from the snarky deity that shared his mind space.

Just what was going on?!

• * ‘my god, this sucks!’
• Lars needs to vent, tyvm
• why are they over capacity what the fuck we’re all gonna die
• thinking fast, he summons his Gastly
• yells at Sky to get the fuck down and DUCK
• Gastly fired off a Dark Pulse attack; an attempt at rudimentary minesweeping aimed at the Jellicent

Ghosts. Why does it always have to be ghosts? For fuck's sake.

"Working on it, Sarge!" Skyler barks out in response to , teeth gritted in furious concentration as the current takes them where it wills, heedless of her attempts to control it. 

Superstition digs its claws into her gut, made all the more stark by the Magikarp bones that hit the water, bereft of flesh.

But this is a familiar fear, an old fear, and Skyler has had ample time to make her peace with it. It lingers only in the nervous twitch of her fingers, in the rush of adrenaline that manifests itself as mercury-bright eyes, foolishly defiant.

And in the foul curse that slips past her lips when a Dark Pulse sweeps past inches from her head. She doesn't look back at , but she doesn't really need to, having recognized his voice easily enough.

"Aim for my head next, Spiky, why don't you!" 

She's barely aware of the Safeguard that envelops them along with Kingler's PROTECT, holding tight when the boat surges forward on 's summoned winds. "That a challenge, Vestri?"

There's only a flash of teeth, there and gone a second later, before she's focusing on the ghostly threat that looms ahead. A hand is freed as columns of AQUA RINGS bubble up to the surface among the Jellicent.

And while AQUA RINGS are usually meant to heal, when Skyler abruptly closes her hand into a fist, these would instead EXPLODE violently.

Honestly, fuck ghosts.

Well shit, if only he could test if he could survive explosions outside his own. Though he is not going to test that now.

AN AQUA ASSEMBLY PT. 2


ROUND 1


The youth palmed a pokeball, feeling something irritable and angry settle in his chest as he saw the currents sweep and his pokemon.

"Did we really manage to overload a boat, under-load another, and still leave a man behind?" He snapped frustratedly as he reeled back and threw out his own pokeball into the field.

What was this, a circus act?

Deep breaths.

Nobody liked the guy pointing out everyone sucked. so said anyway.

Ah, fudge it, who cared?

"I'm gonna run y'all through some basic discipline drills when we get back." The Captain grumbled frustratedly as his Parasect appeared into the field, landing at the ship's prow.

"Use Spore!" The youth ordered, the Parasect reeling back before launching forth a tightly packed mass of spores at the group of the ghosts, the little spore bomb detonating into a mass of tiny sleeping aids all over the Jellicent.

Hoping that helped, the youth continued to fume at the Boat situation, looking over his shoulder towards Kazimir, hoping the man was doing alright.

None of this would've happened if whoever was in charge took the bloody reigns.

...Wait.

Who was even in charge?

"Goddamn it." He muttered in a low hiss, grasping the bridge of his nose and breathing in deeply.

It didn't seem like his first conversation with would be a fun one. He had much to say about the way the AQUA Initiative was structured so far.

He turned a frustrated gaze towards the only other people present who could be trusted to know anything about chains of command- and .

"I'll need yer help when I submit a list o' complaints."


TL;DR:

-Parasect used Spore on the jellicent group!
-Salac'ing that 5.
-Salac'ing that 7.

The path ahead splits, forcing the two canoes to split the difference, effectively cutting their party in half. There’s a sense of dread that curls her stomach into a knot as she watches the others wash away towards the left. Finger grip like claws to the sides of the stone canoe as it is tossed through the strange, raging waters.

Her comrades are quick to react to their impending doom. The ghostly medusas threaten to skin them alive like the Magikarp before them. There’s little Galena can do to help. coats them in a SAFE GUARD and Skyler’s Kingler casts PROTECT. TAILWIND pushes them forward with even more speed than before.

Their heavy canoe lurks forward towards the ramp. A pokeball sucks the Alomomola back to safety and a flash of light releases a Pidgeot into the air. A shriek of surprise escapes its beak before it flutters to hover close to the canoe, keeping pace on the bow with its KEEN EYES.

’s mysterious powers threaten to crush the Jellicent with rings of water. Between her water bending and the other attacks pointed towards the ghosts, Eva elects to have Dolly help them make the push towards the ramp alongside ’s Pelipper. They already have some adequate protection.

“Give us a boost, Dolly!” With the extra weight, they’ll likely need it. The tailwind produced by Angelo’s Pelipper is made stronger with the TAILWIND ignited by Dolly, looking to boost the overweight canoe enough to make it over the ramp and safely through the obstacle ahead.

Eva trades Galena for Dolly the Pidgeot
Dolly uses TAILWIND!

Single file, quickly and mostly efficiently, the left canoe gets filled- mostly. After a quick double-take, it appears the right canoe is over-filled, and Kazimir remains outside of either, fully prepared to brave the choppy waters without the aid of a wooden lifeguard.

There isn't time for her to worry about that now, however. Fernando's hand slips from her own and she pulls herself back, forces herself to focus. Although she wishes to seek him out a second time, the notion is foolish. He's busy, busy trying to save his life - and everyone else's, to some extent.

If they didn't do something, they'd all drown.

Although she is not really, by any means, dazed, as she has avoided bashing her head or being jostled or falling victim to paralyzing fear, Stormy is at a loss for words. Unexpected, but realistic in some capacity. Absently, the woman wipes water and fish guts from her face, pulling her hand away and then to the line of sight ahead where and 's Pokemon light the way.

Quillfish lie in wait, agitated and fully prepared to explode.

She sees Kim bicker with his small impish being, watches the Gothitelle appear - ah, so he hadn't lost her in the mountains, good - and then watches his lips move as he shouts for people to help.

is the first she recognizes to react. His Poliwrath's DAMP hopefully adds a buffer to their defences. Others set up barriers, safeguards, shields, perhaps.. but not for their canoe. All at once, the world seems to crash back into full volume and focus, and the woman reaches for her pokeballs to retrieve a solution.

It comes in the form of her Aegislash. The first Pokemon she can think of. Out here, in the water, she is at a disadvantage even without her fire-type affinity being at full capacity. Her arsenal consists mainly of fire-types who's light would easily be snuffed in conditions like this.

But with Razz's help, and Gothitelle's PSYCHIC, as well as the four others on board alongside her-- they would survive. They had to.

"Defensive stance, protect the canoe!"

If even half of the Quilfish were effectively removed, and the DAMP in effect could lessen the blow, all they really needed to do was hunker down and brace themselves. She could assist in that regard by forming a protective barrier with Aegislash's WIDE GUARD. The ghost Pokemon hovers and positions itself at the front of the canoe as best he can before throwing up a barrier that might just cut through the damage they'd likely endure.

Hopefully, the rest of their canoe had something to assist Kim in lifting or pushing the Quilfish out of the way.

"Hunker down and brace yourselves!"

- being observant
- out-of-body experience almost in which she absorbs the situation
- follows kim's suggestion in some manner
- releases aegislash to use WIDE GUARD to prevent wide-ranging damage in some capacity

There are too many of them here.
[break][break]
Unfortunately, the option of forcing someone to walk the plank seems less than optimal now. Instead, they have to work twice as hard to cover for the mistakes of someone else. Kat should get used to it by now, shouldn’t she?
[break][break]
’ commands are heard loud and clear, but they are just as easily dismissed away. He had the right idea - but something was missing.
[break][break]
“You’re forgetting something.”
[break][break]
The gusts of TAILWIND begin to blow, enhancing the speed of their canoe further, “We’re practically blind right now.” They could see a meter or two into the water, but not much else. It doesn’t leave them with enough room for maneuvering, let alone improvising on the spot.
[break][break]
But that, too, can be rectified.
[break][break]
Katherine’s Milotic is recalled amidst its peaceful swim only to be replaced by a chirpy Togekiss. The bird cries out its name once, twice, and eventually even a third time before looking towards its trainer, searching for guidance.
[break][break]
”Mm. Some light, please.”
[break][break]
It obliges, shining a brilliant, soft dazzling gleam that provides a prismatic display of lights. The strength of the move is lessened, if only to prevent sudden blinding. is inspected in the meantime, judged both for her decisions and how she performs under pressure.
[break][break]
Would she disappoint?

notes:[break]
- kat notices that they're still all blind, so she recalls milotic and sends out togekiss[break]
- togekiss uses a weakened dazzling gleam to provide light (without blinding people, hopefully)[break]
- one salac used on the 33[break]

[attr="class","illie i"]she's seeing fucking stars. god...

her head smacked against someone or something. it's hard to tell, let alone right itself after. she bleeds healing mist to combat the absolute nauseating dizziness that claws at her skin. it makes her foggy, sluggish, ready to fall overboard. and in a feeble attempt to steady herself, her hands dart to grab onto something. one finds the side of the canoe that she may or may not have smacked against while the other finds the arm of whoever's beside her. oops, it's . sorry sir!

"fuck," she groans. it's soft, easily swallowed up by commotion.

and when she looks up and her vision is slowly swaying back from double, they're easily in a load of shit now.

her unown chitters and she scowls as fish guts and water spray over those in the left canoe. gross. first the skull smack and now fish guts? i want a refund.

the hand gripping the side of their canoe fumbles to change out pokemon. her unown is recalled and quickly replaced with something a little more... useful? an alakazam joins the thankfully less crowded canoe. of course, it'd be nice if she wasn't scrambled eggs brain right now but this is fine. everything's fine.

"psychic," she mumbles. it's half slurred and she pushes for more healing mist until it's almost overwhelmingly pink all over the canoe. god.

alakazam begins to radiate a soft purple glow and psychic pulses toward the quilfish in an attempt to shift them slowly and carefully out of their path.

pls let this work. i'm tired. rng gods don't kill me ty!

the trip is jarring, even for a man of his stature — especially for a man of his stature. he grunts, but unlike the three in-front of him (, , and ) he doesn't bash his fucking skull on something. razz should count himself lucky — it'd probably have killed him.
[break][break]
with their descent getting more dangerous, he turns around to catch sign of . he struggles against the waves and rapids, but little time is spent debating his fate. instead, he shifts his gaze to the canoe that is (for some reason) overmanned, despite the elite four member's previous sacrifice. they seemed well and truly fucked, and he merely sent them another grunt of good luck. not that it would do much.
[break][break]
when the explosion nearly capsizes them, he shields his face from any mist and debris. and act quick to scatter the explosive fish, but gabriel adds his own method to the madness. tossing an orb, a haunter appears, floating above them eerily. "put any of the other threats to sleep," he orders, voice tinged with authority and frustration. the ghost-type responds with a wide-angle HYPNOSIS.
[break][break]
with that, he BRACES.

reasons he hates group projects are numerous, most of them resulting to a headache, which he is currently experiencing. he mouths an apology to when he hits his head, turning around to properly do it. this is when he notices someone lagging behind.

the concussion makes the his sight blurry, but memory gives the name of the suicidal hero that's into cheesy speeches, which kyle finds entertaining. he decides they can't have him out of the party.

"oi!" he shouts to from ahead. "i'm slowing this boat for a bit! catch up! last chance!"

he faces forward, where his chinchou leads with its illumination bright enough to shame the light of a will-o-wisp. kyle clutches his head when he utters a move. "hydro pump."

the little chinchou that could them spouts a powerful jet of water that goes against the current, decelerating the velocity of their vehicle to give enough time to not only let the newest elite four to catch up, but also for the rest of the pokemon to execute their moves with more breathing room.

"we got this, right?" he asks the group.

tl;dr
  • bonks head
  • calls kazimir to their boat
  • chinchou uses hydro pump to slow their boat down for more time
