[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]CYBERCHASE CONUNDRUM  [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET IN MID-JULY DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_res3omOE4K1yrg70yo1.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 THEME SONG THE CLONE WARS
THE COPIES ARE QUICKLY DISPATCHED. Above, blocks of data swarm around like Beedrill.[break][break]
With each passing second, Locke Jamison, Martín del Mar, mint frost and PENELOPE LIVY can feel their bodies lighten. It's as if their digital copies are siphoning energy away... but the four realize it is not just energy. It is data. The doppelgangers are copying their data, and stealing it in the process...[break][break]
Suddenly, a powerful spell descends upon the malicious copies as Greyson Connors's DELPHOX conjures a potent PSYCHIC. It holds them in place for them to be struck by the other attacks, effectively allowing the subsequent actions to succeed:[break][break]
A SHADOW QUAGSIRE thrusts FRENZY PLANT VINES toward Martín del Mar's clone, holding it in place briefly. As Eris Halla watches, Thomas Benoit brandishes a knife, throwing it like a dart as it weaves in through the thick cordage. This buys enough time for Martín del Mar and his UNOWN to strike back and retreat; however, it is Andrea Vaneau's HYDREIGON that manages to smash it into blocks of data. An OUTRAGE pummels the doppelganger into bits and pieces that splash away. Deleted.[break][break]
 Simultaneously, skyler dross punches the fake Locke Jamison. The copy looks hurt. Poochy-eyed and betrayed, the doppelganger flashes a glance at the Sea Captain before skyler dross's PINCURCHIN paralyzes it by using THUNDER WAVE. While Locke Jamison's device is FRIED, Isaac Merlo's TOTODILE ICE FANGS to wrestle the copy away so that angelo vestri's RIBOMBEE can strike with a THIEF. Fraying pieces of data demarcate the doppelganger's dying form. Before it can retaliate, Hideo Kino and Aaron Toral have their BEHEEYEM and FRILLISH finish the clone off in an explosive burst of GHOST AND PSYCHIC-TYPE HUES.[break][break]
 Nearby, mint frost's PHONE will record the distorted audio (only) of violence as trainers and Pokemon come to their rescue. annalise henderson braves the close quarters. As she grabs mint frost's doppelganger's fingers, the clone erratically cranes its neck towards her, dead-eyes flickering with glitching colors. @aries's LUXRAY pounces for a damning CRUNCH. Bits of data fly from fangs. Above, Leonidas Stone's NOIVERN swerves downward. An AIR SLASH assisted by MARISOL SIMONE's BLISSEY'S HELPING HAND flinches the digital creature. It is enough to help annalise henderson pry the fingers off of mint frost's throat. As a finishing blow, annalise henderson's CHESTNAUGHT is quick to slam the DELPHOX-SECURED clone's head with a NEEDLE ARM, embedding the bytes with needles before the clone explodes.[break][break]
In a room fool of heroes, nagi miwa deems himself the loser. But who can blame him? When confronted with the overwhelming scope of this digital world, a doppelganger clutching PENELOPE LIVY's throat is sure to cloud the mind. A DRAGONAIR bashes into the PSYCHIC-SEIZED clone. Josh Devlin watches as his Pokemon follows up with a THUNDER WAVE, allowing the journalist's MILOTIC to COIL around the digital creature. A harsh thwack from Andrea Vaneau's FIST cracks against digital jaw before the doppelganger implodes into various blocks of data.
A SECOND SCAN
IN MIDST THE CHAOS, a second scan runs below them. In the aftermath, a loud robotic proclamation is made by the system:
The following trainers and ALL OF THEIR POKEMON, regardless of whether they are out of their balls or in them, will experience some kind of DATA LOSS: @aries, Melody Miro, annalise henderson, jayden cross, Lulu Flint, Amor Rose, @tobias, Aaron Toral, Andrea Vaneau, Eris Halla, Isaac Merlo, angelo vestri, Hideo Kino, Gwyar Wledig, nagi miwa, luka chêne, Locke Jamison.[break][break]
Others are able to withstand the scan a bit better. Just luck. Nothing else. Yet, everyone will see that their doppelganger reflections have become more real. More solid. More animated, even. Locke Jamison, mint frost, PENELOPE LIVY, and Martín del Mar will see that their own reflections are little more vivid than the rest too, presumably from the contact they've had with them.
CLONES BEGONE
IN THE AFTERMATH, kinder souls offer healing. While illeana reyes's HEALING MIST, a remnant of her previous patron, allows for passive rejuvenation around her, others are more directed. BARNABY FINCH's GALLADE stands at the ready, willing to provide a HEAL PULSE for Martín del Mar, angelo vestri, skyler dross, Cillian Quinn and Locke Jamison.[break][break]
luka chêne's CLEFABLE is able to help clear Locke Jamison's head before it is switched out for her MUSHARNA. It focuses. The pink elephant stills as it attempts to divine the future— and what it can see shocks it awake. To luka chêne, it communicates THE SOUNDS OF BATTLE... POWERFUL CRIES OF DESTRUCTIVE POKEMON... THE PHRASE: SYSTEM FAILURE.[break][break]
FOREWARN from luka chêne and Locke Jamison's Pokemon detect little. There is nothing dangerous up ahead immediately. For now. However, one may determine the swirling blocks of data around them as potential threats, for they continue to swarm menacingly. However, they do sense Porygon nearby. Some may be coming from afar, attracted by their foreign presence.[break][break]
 Similarly, Eva Morales's PORYGON2 attempts to scan the path alongside Yvaine Varron's investigative advance. The two will see that their paths feature beeping veins of data. Presumably, this circuitry or wiring connects back to the main terminal to power it. However, upon closer inspection, they can see that the physical make up of the blocks of data, the paths, all feature coding within them... Numbers? Binary? And or shapes frighteningly similar to UNOWN.

THOSE WHO ENTER TERMINAL 1 will encounter a similar room to the one the main terminal was in. The path leads to a cul-de-sac— and the members of terminal 1 can not see where the other groups are.
