MOD RAID POST!
[break][break]
arian coin continues to travel toward their initial destination: nikolai's dye shop. he stops outside of one of the windows, peeking in, yelling for the professor's attention but
Lucas Lane 's attention is elsewhere.
arian coin will see it too, the object of the professor's fascination. a mass of swirling purple energy radiates in front of him, a
single flame growing from within the floating aura.[break][break][break]
FUTURE SIGHT allows the alakazam to navigate the streets with ease. at least ease relative to their situation. multiple
DRACO METEORS litter the street and the first few to land send out minor gusts of winds from their impact. the pokemon coerces @triss to bring out her malamar and not a moment too soon. the moment the
LIGHT SCREEN comes up is when one of the meteors land way too close. it explodes into a dozen smaller pieces but the concussive force of the blast rocks the area. like
Bailey Cooper ,
@triss is thrown from the aftermath of the collision. her
alakazam body blocks for her and both are thrown onto the street. her malamar is no exception but gets
blown backwards, away from them. multiple pieces of debris ricochet off the
LIGHT SCREEN with an audible 'pang'.[break][break][break]
@saif sends his zoroak to help guide @triss along but coming in too close puts it
in the vicinity of the blast. the pokemon tries to
U-TURN back when it sees the meteor coming but it's too late and too close. the impact of the object hitting the street and exploding spreads out in all directions and
knocks the zoroak up, flinging it into the air. [break][break][break]
marcel maeda continues to run away from the beast. multiple
DRACO METEORS are incoming and directly on his path. a few land behind and he can feel the aftermath of the explosion as sound and wind batter against his backside. his dragonair launches a
WATER PULSE, which when diverted toward the ground behind them, loses its force and splashes into the air. water thrown into the air isn't enough to set the meteors off. they tear past, the rebounded attack putting up no resistance. [break][break][break]
it is the
ICE BEAM that gives the water some substance. it turns solid and creates a wall. unfortunately, the dragonair underestimates the attack. any meteors that collide against the ice wall will
break through it and explode. those that are 'caught', held by the water that splashed against them and turned into solid ice,
rips through any ice that lacks the structural integrity to hold a large object that travels at a fast speed. any ice that does,
causes the object to detonate, triggered by the sudden stop in motion and resistance to the objects inertia. [break][break][break]
the end result is that several
DRACO METEORS break through. thankfully,
marcel maeda is quick enough to
return his dragonair. it's safe but at what cost? he'll soon found out as he mounts his noivern.
none of the meteors outright hit the pair as they take off but they're caught in the explosion. shrapnel scatters and the potential energy turns into kinetic.
marcel maeda is
thrown off his noivern and both are
thrown to the street below. luckily, they haven't gained that much altitude and
marcel maeda is
not falling from a fatal height. it'll hurt though. and, unfortunately, his noivern is
caught by a piece of shrapnel. a sharp piece of shrapnel, part of a concrete wall that was previously swallowed up by the pokemon, pierces into the pokemon's backside, several inches underneath where its right wing connects to the body. it's
lodged into place and warm blood starts to pool around the wound, a slow bleed that starts to accelerate as the pokemon lands with a thud, the movement causing the piece to tear deeper. [break][break][break]
her pokemon are the only reason that
Bailey Cooper makes it out. the hitmonchan ignores her protest and focuses on the task at hand. it's
AGILITY allows it to create a distance as it moves away from the incoming
DRACO METEOR. those that still stray too far are deftly avoided by the pokemon's knack for
DETECT. they still land, they still explode, and the force does rock the pair, but no where near the turbulence that had laid
Bailey Cooper out on the ground moments prior.[break][break][break]
persephone amavi 's zebstrika is given the order to fetch
Bailey Cooper and it
soon comes into view. the galloping pokemon is undoubtedly faster then the hitmonchan when it comes to breaking ground and it approaches the pair in hot
PURSUIT.[break][break][break]
Bailey Cooper 's palossand is left behind as a distraction, anything to buy them some time to escape. the
SANDSTORM grows more furious as more dust gets upturned by the impact of the reigning destruction. additional fine particles gather into the pokemon's mass as it starts to expand. they're assimilated by the sand based pokemon and it grows in size. it truly becomes their bulwark, their last wall as it continues to grow. it becomes big enough that the unknown pokemon turns to pay it attention. both appendages snap out wildly, clamoring moments before a
DRAGON PULSE fires off. the two beams tear straight into palossand and
leave two gaping holes. the castle walls have been breached.[break][break][break]
the sand becomes unsettled and the palossand starts to falter. it body loosens due to the sudden openings and the sand comes apart, scattering as it body starts to lose shape. but, the pokemon doesn't give up! not now, not ever. no matter what difficulties, no matter what trials, not even in the face of certain death will it give up knowing that
Bailey Cooper is in danger. a
weird feeling start to pulse within the pokemon's lifeless body. it may be dead but at the same time it has never felt so alive. a want, a need, a purpose to last just a moment longer spurs the pokemon onward. its innate sense to struggle, to take on and fight—never giving up to to take flight, radiates from every pore. [break][break][break]
they can win this. victory is within sight.
it believes![break][break][break]
sheer grit allows the pokemon to
SHORE UP its surroundings. the mass of
SANDSTORM comes together and patches it right up. it continues to bulk up and grow. double, no,
triples in size as it fills the streets with its mass! dense sand HARDENS as it prepares for another
DRAGON PULSE. [break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
a dark ball of energy forms within the palossand's mouth. a
SHADOW BALL materializes, concentrated and almost ready to launch. with absolute defiance, it launches, overtaken by the sudden feeling that overcomes it. absolute valor in the face of an enemy that must be taken down at all costs![break][break][break]
all the sentiments, all the feelings in the world are lost upon the unknown terror. it only knows one thing. hunger. a hunger that it can never escape. one that causes it to scream as it defied yet another obstacle that tries to tear it away from eating. the beast bellows again and
a bright light sparks from the pokemon's innermost mouth. and then nothingness. the same
HYPER BEAM from earlier tears through anything in its path.
Bailey Cooper 's palossand becomes dust to the wind, obliterated, turned into the nothingness from whence it came. when the beam ends the only thing that's still there is a
few clumps of sand that scatter in the newfound empty space. it leaves not just a hole in the pokemon but
everything else behind it. [break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
lands on a building that overlooks
persephone amavi 's current position, standing in the middle of the carnage yet out of harm's way.
her inquiry is stated before the
HYPER BEAM launches but
all eyes turn away to the demanding energy beam that vaporizes everything in its path.[break][break][break]
previous behavior from the unknown pokemon would suggest that it would return to eating after another successful attack. however, something is different this time.
it senses something. somewhere nearby is a delectable aura of energy that the
unknown pokemon and @triss ' alakazam will pick up on. it
STOMPS twice more, turning its huge body directly in the direction of
Lucas Lane and
arian coin . for such a large beast, turning requires effort and everyone else can watch as it takes a moment to get into position. but once it does, it takes off. [break][break][break]
the large beast
THRASHS about as it charges forward,
BULLDOZING through anything in its way. buildings become paper and the pokemon rampages onward toward nikolai's dye shop. in utter
FRUSTRATION, the pokemon's two appendages snap out at anything in front of it, smashing through buildings, and crushing anyone in their way. just being in a place named after such an unfortunate event spells disaster.[break][break][break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
- Lucas Lane summons his beheeyem to stand guard. he continues to recant the chant as the pokemon starts to materialize.
- arian coin runs toward Lucas Lane 's direction. stops outside and yells for Lucas Lane 's attention. his pokemon are turned and he catches sight of the legendary pokemon about to be born.
- @triss ' alakazam refuses to TELEPORT again. instead, it uses FUTURE SIGHT to draw out a plan of escape. they flee together and the alakazam forces her to bring out her malamar. the malamar puts down a protective LIGHT SCREEN as they run. a DRACO METEOR lands nearby and the blast blows them away. @triss is with her alakazam. malamar gets thrown in the opposite direction.
- @saif sends his zoroak to fetch @triss but it gets caught in the blast radius. it gets thrown airborne from the shock waves.
- marcel maeda keeps running and brings out his dragonair. it uses a charged up WATER PULSE on the ground behind, splattering it everywhere. it uses ICE BEAM to solidify the water to stop the DRACO METEOR. he returns it right after the ICE BEAM.
- the ice doesn't stop it. the meteors break the ice or explode from being abruptly stopped. the blast throws marcel maeda off his noivern and both are sent tumbling onto the street. a piece of shrapnel pierces the noivern's back.
- Bailey Cooper runs away but is caught by the sheer force of a meteor exploding. it tosses her aside like a ragdoll and she lands on her elbow. it hurts a lot.
- her hitmonchan and palossand burst out of their balls to help her. her hitmonchan picks her up and flees, leaving the pallosand behind. it uses AGILITY and DETECT to get away. the impact of each blast still rattles the pair.
- persephone amavi stays in place and brings out her zebstrika. she orders it to go fetch Bailey Cooper . it runs off and finds Bailey Cooper .
- the palossand grows in size, turning into a real castle. it gets hit by DRAGON PULSE but persists with SHORE UP. it feels oddly determined. the unknown pokemon uses HYPER BEAM again which vaporizes it.
- freya morningstar lands on a building that overlooks persephone amavi 's current position. she asks persephone amavi to fill her in.
- the unknown pokemon turns to Lucas Lane and arian coin 's direction before charging right at them. it runs through buildings any everything else, tearing through everything in its path.
