[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]DAWN OF THE DARKEST DAY  [attr="class","omgenmid"] DEATH ENABLED EVENT SCHEDULED END: JUNE / JULY(?) REACTIONS [player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_rc7qgclcO01yjyalbo1.mp3[/player] [break] JOKES ON YOU
PROTECTIVE SHIELDS MITIGATE the powerful explosion that wipes out the unexpected. as pokemon are returned, charred corpses among them, the cause behind such a tragedy receives an unexpected boost. a red aura coats the pokemon, despite its BEAST BOOST being traded out for MAGIC GUARD. even when it is restored, the aura simmers even brighter, shielding it from the combined fury of Katherine Fairburne and Amor Rose’s assault.
[break][break]
[break]
something has altered the ULTRA BEAST. it becomes bigger, incrementally, as each pokemon caught in its blast draws their last breath. once their attacks dissipate, what is reveals is a pokemon that seems to be more at home in ultra space than here in hoenn.
[break][break]
the BLACEPHALON will no longer obey Katherine Fairburne.[break][break]
it cannot be returned until it is knocked out.[break][break]
its temporary BEAST BOOST has made it larger and more durable / powerful. its power has been boost dramatically due to how many pokemon have died to it.
from an unseen vantage point, near the outskirts of tree, a SHADOW BALL is launched toward katherine’s vicinity and her pokemon. the nature of the surprise attack bears a striking resemblance to a RANGER REPORT not too long ago.
CONTINUOUS TRAP CARD
WHILE Shizue Murasaki CONTINUES her astute observations, others lack the empirical evidence to navigate the tree without punishment. Eris Halla’ CLEFABLE is able to TELEPORT her to her destination but they blip into a nasty surprise. with sentient precision, roots shoot up from underground, skewering the fairy. likewise, Kazimir Wynter’s GOLURK will end up dropping them upon exiting the PHANTOM FORCE. by the time his pokemon can respond, it has already started to transform into a crystalline husk.
[break][break]
Yvaine Varron’s situation is not as instant. however, once the togekiss ascends high enough to give her a good vantage point, they’ll be able to recognize the blooming flowers. dozens of pine like needles pin cushion the pokemon into crashing back onto the field, throwing off its trainer as it bleeds out.
[break][break]
Eris Halla’ CLEFABLE DIES! [break]
Kazimir Wynter’s GOLURK DIES! [break]
Yvaine Varron’s TOGEKISS DIES! [break][break]
Yvaine Varron may crash land anywhere on the field.
FOCUS ON THE FIGURE
THE ATTACKS KEEP COMING. some are aimed at the tree while others address the more pronounced figure that team rocket has identified as Chu-e Choi. those close up to the figure, such as gwyar, are subjected to the innate powers of THE SCOURGE. as his AEGISLASH comes down with its SACRED SWORD, the blade clatters against the black nail, bouncing off a material stronger than the blade itself. it reverberates with a loud twinging sound as the creature retracts them of their own accord.
[break][break]
it’s about to attack again when a sudden AURORA BEAM from Rowan Wrynn’s WALREIN freezes it in place. ice covers the point of impact but cracks form almost immediately, unable to stop the figure from moving. the HOWLING sound of Rex Drago’s pokemon provide reinforcement as their sound based attacks berate the figure further. ice shatters and it’s forced back several steps, providing Gwyar Wledig ample time to escape.
[break][break]
the momentary stall is enough for Killian Decker’s pokemon to act. the STRENGTH SAP attempts to leech Chu-e Choi’s life force but its proportionate power is too much. black crystals erupt across the pokemon’s skin, like sudden blisters, ballooning into a gruesome size before bursting. it showers the pokemon with black shrapnel, covering it like durants descending onto fresh prey. the pokemon is unmoving, disappearing under rabid crystalline growths.
[break][break]
likewise, the TELEPATHIC bridge between Killian Decker, his BEHEEYEM, and Chu-e Choi is established.
[break][break]
Killian Decker’s voice echoes in the void. there is no light. no color. no sight or taste. no feelings. only the sound of his own thoughts keep him company but even that disappears as soon as he thinks he hears it. but this sensory goes beyond just the physical senses.
[break][break]
 his memories. his ego. his very sense of being. they’re being swallowed up, dying by the second. not even DEOXYS exists anymore.
[break][break]
wait. what is DEOXYS? who is DEOXYS?
[break][break]
who am i?
[break][break]
the only sense that exist is an unexplained feeling of loss. a lack of purpose that bubbles in the vacant cauldron of his consciousness. and where the entirety of what made Killian Decker a sentient being once was is now a need to fill the only thing he knows: nothingness.
[break][break]
there is a hunger that encompasses his very being.
[break][break]
[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_rdr07voH9z1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player]
[break][break]
the voice of another wakes him up. and when he comes to, his hands are bloodied, nails chipped, as he holds the entrails of his own BEHEEYEM. what is an lapse, or blackout, of no more than a moment is in actuality enough time for him to rip his pokemon apart with his own hands.
[break][break]
Killian Decker’S BEHEEYEM DIES!
but he has little time to recognize what has happened. the sight of a sparkling Z-CRYSTAL passes right by his as Tempest Quinn’s PELIPPER FLINGS the item straight into Chu-e Choi’s chest. it shatters upon contact, releasing a sudden burst of energy.
[break][break]
behind the sudden light, Adrian Malcolm’s SHINIGAMI EYES will witness Chu-e Choi’s life force. from an undisclosed limbo, nearing non-existent, it suddenly balloons into the inverse, still an undisclosed limbo but one that has infinite life. something that has a life force that does not taper or have room to decline. it is an essence that does not bind itself to the binary cycle of life and eventual death.
FREE THE TREE
AT THE SAME TIME as others deal with Chu-e Choi, attacks batter against the TREE OF LIFE. numerous attacks land against the great land mass and some affect the tree to various degrees. normal attacks, such as the FLASH CANNON from MATIAS SILPH, SHADOW BALL from Lulu Flint, BOOM BURST from illeana reyes, HIDDEN POWER from jayden cross, and MIRROR COATED MIRROR COATED MIRROR COATED SOLAR BEAM from oscar clayton, Greyson Connors, Raziel Beckett destroy what remains of the decayed wood. pieces fall onto the ground, revealing the trees innards: pure black crystal.
[break][break]
some of the odder attacks such as Cillian Quinn’s SPRINGTIDE STORM and Kazimir Wynter’s SHADOW FIRE have very different effects. they seem to slow the pursuit of the GEOMANCY lights that dance across the tree’s surface. as the LIGHT OF RUIN from bryan delarosa’s EEVEE and SMEARGLE, Martín del Mar’ RIOLU, Killian Decker’s EEVEE, jayden cross’s EEVEE strike, more lights appear. red, orange, yellow, green, and indigo. they join in, swirling too and fro as other pokemon join in with their GEOMANCY.
[break][break]
the exception is kyle lopez’z SILVALLY. it’s TRI-ATTACK continues to strike at these lights but to little effect. the only time it deviates from this pattern of futile frustration is when his own SMEARGLE starts to join in with a GEOMANCY of its own. it immediately turns hostile toward the SMEARGLE, lashing out to prevent the pokemon from ‘assisting’ further.
[break][break]
and, entirely unrelated, the ground around Greyson Connors crackles with more pronounced black lightning. a sudden pain erupts from his wrist where his COMFEY is adorn immediately after it uses PETAL BLIZZARD. the pokemon too suffers such pain, afflicted by the residual damage while kyle lopez's restorative powers try to offset the constant stings.
INTO POSITIONS
EVERYONE ELSE SCATTERS in accordance to the diagrams outlined below their feet. as the CHARM HOLDERS reach each circle, they’ll notice their wrist sparkle brighter than before. as they near the center of their respective circle, it comes to life, illuminating the area of the contained circle with a white light.
[break][break]
[break]
that’s when the PRESSURE compounds. a terrible tension wracks their brain as they feel their head being torn apart. audible pops rattle inside as streaks of red, yellow, and blue lights cackle within the circle. Eris Halla, the only one out of the three CHARM HOLDERS to have experienced this, will recognize the foreboding omen.
[break][break]
[break][break] [break][break] RESULTS NEW PROMPTS ACTIONABLE ITEMS INFINITY SUFFERING
MANY ATTEMPT TO remove remnants of the DARK SPORES from themselves and their pokemon. however, many will find that it proves harder with time. the DARK SPORES grow as they suck their victim’s vitality. sharp barbs dig into the skin until they harbor deep into flesh. only those who put their full attention, much like before, are able to ween these off.
[break][break]
anyone who has brought out a FRESH POKEMON who’s ONLY ACTION was to remove a spore has successfully removed the DARK SPORE.
[break][break]
this is not limited to but may affect the following characters and their pokemon:
[break][break]
Thomas Benoit Elisabeth Fiorelli
and they manage to do so just in time. as the Z-CRYSTAL from Tempest Quinn’s PELIPPER explodes, so too do the DARK SPORES sprout. the ILLUMINA or POKERUS pokemon that were unable to free themselves earlier will find themselves gouged by their SPORE’s blooming within them. crystalline thorns bulge in all directions, killing the host.
[break][break]
 [break]
any ILLUMINA / POKERUS pokemon that was afflicted by the DARK SPORES and did not roll under 21 die this turn.
[break][break]
those who rolled successful numbers managed to remove the DARK SPORES.
[break][break]
this is not limited to but may affect the following characters and their pokemon:
[break][break]
Cillian Quinn Hideo Kino Locke Jamison Elisabeth Fiorelli DEREK HOFFMAN
LEGENDARY POKEMON and AVATARS seem to do better despite the DARK SPORES still blooming. unable to bury into them, their thorns expand from outside, turning into vines that bind and spread across their body. even so much as touching them, like in the case of Raziel Beckett, causes them to suddenly expand and latch onto their new victim.
[break][break]
[break]
Adrian Malcolm, despite only touching the TREE OF LIFE, will find himself in a similar predicament as the tree itself covers him in its own machinations. while his powers work, able to move whatever deviation of life force the tree still holds, it seems ineffective on his SHADOW KLEFKI. as he moves power away from the tree, the vines spread faster, expanding in size.
[break][break]
the CRYSTAL THORNS that sprout from the dying ILLUMINA POKEMON start to wiggle on their own accord. they end up pointing at the pokemon using GEOMANCY before firing off with a magnetic like pull. only the tree being powerful enough to hold the power of life will survive.
[break][break]
any pokemon using GEOMANCY last round is targeted. unless they are XERNEAS, they will die.
[break][break]
kyle lopez may have his SILVALLY interfere before the SMEARGLE is attacked. both will FAINT instead, otherwise the SMEARGLE dies.
[break][break]
this is not limited to but may affect the following characters and their pokemon:
[break][break]
bryan delarosa kyle lopez luka chêne
the XERNEAS, crucified by the DARK THORNS is unable to continue its GEOMANCY. it’s alive but heavily injured. it, along with the AVATARS afflicted, will feel their life force sapped at an increased rate. it’s significant enough that their powers start to weaken, usable, but not nearly at the potency they’re used to.
[break][break]
high above, YVELTAL makes an appearance. it looks to scoop Chu-e Choi from the ground only to SKY DROP him later. the lingering SPOLIGHT from Elisabeth Fiorelli’s ILLUMINA SINISTEA reveals the pokemon against the night sky as it descends. those unfamiliar with it, will be in awe by the pokemon’s fearsome appearance. those, more privy to the situation, will realize what’s behind it.
[break][break]
the GEOMANCY lights across the TREE OF LIFE have stopped moving. its appearance no longer resembles the world tree.
[break][break]
with the wood torn off by earlier attacks, the TREE OF LIFE reveals its transformed state of pure black crystals. likewise, the light the lights have gathered into a single spot, straight at the center, high above.
[break][break]
then the TREE OF LIFE moves…
[break][break]
[break]
the TREE OF LIFE is no more.
[break][break]
the GEOMANCY that looked to reinvigorate it has restored life onto the tree. the same life that Adrian Malcolm will have noticed with his SHINIGAMI EYES. the same lights that kyle lopez’s SILVALLY tried so desperately to attack. and now that XERNEAS is disabled and the DARK SPORES have had their fill.
[break][break]
the last can be released.
[break][break][break][break]
TREE OF LIFE NECROZMA[break] HAS ENTERED THE BATTLE
PROPHECIES ARE POETIC
YVELTAL IS ABLE TO GRAB Chu-e Choi. there isn’t much of a struggle as the legendary pokemon crushes him with its claw. but as yveltal rises, a branch of the TREE OF LIFE, necrozma’s arm, comes down on it. clamps around the yveltal’s neck as necrozma pulls it down with the entirety of its power. it crashes on the ground, landing near Adrian Malcolm’s position.
[break][break]
as its AVATAR he can feel the NECROZMA siphon YVELTAL’S life force. it’s an inverse of their usual position and it shows as Adrian Malcolm own ability to alter, sap, and redirect life force diminishes. however, as his bond weakens, other afflictions rise to the surface. while the vines of the TREE OF LIFE cover parts of his arm, the REGI RUNES on his arm appear once more. they haven’t been seen since Katherine Fairburne destroyed his REGI REMNANT but here, they start to glow with an menacing pink glow.
[break][break]
those who were privy to this being a foregone conclusion will realize that the figure in their vision was many times smaller than the TREE OF LIFE itself. this pokemon dwarfs that figure entirely. it’s a small detail on paper but the ramifications are only outsized by the pokemon itself. likewise, the TREE OF LIFE was still present in the background. what else has changed to tamper with their previous fate?
[break][break]
those who look to change their fate are being punished for tampering with matters beyond this realm. as the stress of the runic circles push Eris Halla, Hideo Kino, and Sénon Game to their limits, two of the circles change color.
[break][break]
to the south, Georgette Bluebottle and Beau Fontaine’s wrist start to glow with a bright blue. their presence within Sénon Game’s circle help alleviate the pressure as they share some of his burden. a shrill cry echoes from within the circle that invites them closer to him. the charm starts to restore its color the closer they get.
[break][break]
to the west, BARNABY FINCH and Elisabeth Fiorelli’s wrist flick with a deep yellow. Hideo Kino will feel his head adjust as the feeling of IMPLODING starts to dwindle. they too hear a shrill cry as Hideo Kino’s charm grows more vibrant.
[break][break]
north, Eris Halla, alone, struggle as she hears the repeat of the same prophecy. your choice doesn’t matter…
[break][break]
at the very center, Locke Jamison will find that his charm points squarely in Eris Halla’ direction. it remains colorless but tugs him toward the emptiest circle nonetheless.
[break][break]
and, should any of those affected by the charms look up at NECROZMA, the voice reveals more.
[break][break]
GUIDING PROMPTS
here are some possible prompts to follow for those who need a little guidance! [break][break]
- attack NECROZMA!
- assist XERNEAS or YVELTAL!
- assist any AVATARS that are afflicted by DARK SPORES!
- those who were tagged last round as having their wrist spark may want to navigate to one of the CHARM HOLDERS.
NARRATIVE INFORMATION HISTORICAL INFORMATION
THE DARK FRAGMENT [break][break]
after the ULTRA BEAST WAR, a NECROZMA appeared in SLATEPORT. several trainers managed to keep the pokemon at bay until it was dragged back into ULTRA SPACE by a MYSTERIOUS HAND.
[break][break]
while no one was able to document this pokemon, it left behind a DARK ROCK which was licked by the ROCKET UNDERBOSS Chu-e Choi. over time, CHU-E exhibited some physical and behavioral changes, eventually manifesting into something close to AVATARSHIP.
[break][break]
eventually, this killed CHU-E. since then, his body has gone missing.
THE DARKEST DAY [break][break]
the recently hatched LAKE GUARDIANS have visited several trainers, leaving them with CHARMS and cryptic PROPHECIES. the unknown phenomenon known as THE DARKEST DAY is mentioned repeatedly.
[break][break]
three individuals are given a vision that alludes to the breaking news about THE DARKEST DAY affecting GALAR.
THE TREE OF LIFE [break][break]
a strange IVORY TREE shows up in a littleroot threatre. it grows out of control during a contest and is destroyed by those present. an extract of its BLUE MULCH has exhibited the capacity to resurrect some living things.
[break][break]
team rocket searches for XERNEAS and calls the energy it exudes INFINITY ENERGY. on an EXCURSION they find another IVORY TREE.
[break][break]
when team rocket attempts to take over sootopolis, several spatial distortions occur. the league uses PRIMAL QUARTZ SHARDS to teleport an ANCIENT TEMPLE. in its place spawns a massive tree dubbed the TREE OF LIFE.
[break][break]
eventually, team rocket investigates inside the TREE OF LIFE. among their many discoveries, they realize the TREE OF LIFE is from another world. when XERNEAS uses GEOMANCY, the tree grows exponentially.
[break][break]
coincidentally, CRYSTABLOOMS and breeding ILLUMINA pokemon appeared directly afterwards.
