🎼 Mt. Pyre Exterior: Remastered (feat.@mudstep) | ZAME


SET-UP



AT THE PEAK OF MT. PYRE, a PRIMAL POINT has been erected. Housing a powerful primal crystal, those defending it can sense the energies surging within it. How it resonates and twists within cut and face, threatening to tear perhaps, the sinew of reality itself.[break][break]

The fog is thick here, but it is not thick enough to obscure the haunting image of a meteoroid looming in the heavens. By the minute, it grows larger and larger. 99943 METENO stares down at the region it wishes to destroy with a chilling impartiality to those who live in it.[break][break]

Occasionally, a cold wind blows. Whispers are carried within its icy wreath. Whether they are voices of the damned or the tangled, distorted cries of panicking Pokemon is unknown. Perhaps, it is the lifted voices from nearby cities and towns. Their dread powerful enough to lift such dissonance onto the macabre mountain.[break][break]

THE LEAGUE'S PLAN is to activate the PRIMAL POINT when instructed by mission control; however, intel regarding Team Rocket's meddling has been dispensed to the League operatives in the area. A back-up plan to use another PRIMAL POINT has been readied in the worst case scenario, but Mt. Pyre's height makes it an ideal spearhead for the warping of this region-ending threat.[break][break]

TEAM ROCKET intends to steal the PRIMAL CRYSTAL if possible. More importantly, the syndicate has been ordered to interrupt the activation of the PRIMAL POINT to buy enough time for the mining operation on the meteoroid to complete and vacate. Such an operation requires careful timing and a covert approach... if at all possible.


THROUGH THE FOG



BOTH THE LEAGUE & TEAM ROCKET station themselves on Mt. Pyre's cliffs, ledges, and among its graves. The fog is the thickest it has been in a long time; however, the occasional glimmer from the primal crystal in the primal point catches everyone's eyes.[break][break]

For now, COMMUNICATION DEVICES WORK; however, the output does seem marred by the occasional gristle of static.[break][break]

"protect the crystal at all costs. if you come across team rocket. eliminate them expeditiously. the fate of hoenn rests in your hands." The Commissioner says from mission control.[break][break]

STEALTH


FOR THIS ROUND, rolls will determine whether you are revealed to the opposing faction or not. Rolls that are 50 AND UNDER will mean that your character and their Pokemon have been exposed to the enemy. Some may choose to be visible/conspicuous (e.g. those by the primal point), and if so, MENTION IT IN YOUR TL;DR.[break][break]

You can not post with a roll first and write your post after.


"our meteno team is approaching the meteoroid as we speak. do not fail them." The Rocket Boss' voice comes through the small speaker of the syndicates' communication devices.[break][break]

However, the question is, is here?

He heard the voice of the boss of the organization come through the device in his helmet. Armored head to toe in his guise as the Rocket member Seraphim, he was here for one reason only. To see if was here so they could have round 2, and he could cut her down. Or any high ranking League for the moment, but he had a particular score to settle with the Elite. The fog was thick, but he didn't care if he was seen or not. If he caused a big enough scene perhaps those that were on his side would slip under the radar easier. If there was one thing that he was good at, it was causing a scene. So he released one of his most trusted Pokemon.

A Sceptile appeared in the fog next to him, and he drew his sword, in his immediate area there were no targets that he could see, and so he simply marched forward into the unknown. Vilu used Detect to protect them both from any potential oncoming danger, and so he moved towards his goal. The energy resonating from the top of the Mountain, it was something he had felt before, it was something he had seen before when Groudon had been fighting. It was the energy he was planning to harness, and if they failed to acquire the crystal.

Perhaps they could activate a portal right on top of the League members that were guarding it.

"I'm moving....kkkccckkk....ward...." He spoke to the others that were on the same signal as he was. His blood was thrumming with excitement, and it was just like the HOT's tournament to him all over again. An unknown area with strong opponents, which meant there was plenty of glory to be had so he could move up.

uzdwTiaw

TLDR
Amor summons Vilu the Sceptile.
Sceptile uses Detect incase someone tries to sneak attack them somehow.
Amor is moving forward down the path with his sword drawn.
Amor is ready to throw hands.
Doesn't care if he is seen if it helps others get by. (But rolling anyways)

Why am I here?

The question kept repeating itself in her mind as Johanna snuck towards the Primal Point, or at least tried to, within the fog of Mt Pyre. From time to time she would feel the cold sensation of stone slabs through her gloves as she stumbled upon graves. Though there was something else in the air, not the cold chill of the fog, but a sensation she did not know. Perhaps it is the ghosts I am sensing? She wondered.

She was supposed to be following some other Rockets, given her inexperience in handling missions of this size, but they were gone, or perhaps she had left them. Who knows, the fog made it damn near impossible to see anything.

Even with the weather hiding her, she had taken precautions to hide her identity. Clad in brandless black clothes for ease of movement and a simple white smiley-face mask, the only thing that might reveal her would be the long blue hair, which she had done her best to tuck into her clothes so it wouldn’t be swinging around. Still, the color would be visible to anyone that got close.

Though she said nothing as the voice of their leader boomed through the communications device. An audible gulp escaped her. She tried to push away the mental pressure she was experiencing and steeling her resolve, yet there was always that slimmer of doubt in her mind as she would continue to make her way through the fog toward the glittering Primal Point. Though for a moment she wondered

The fog was thick, blanketing the air in a way that was almost unsettling. Visibility was pretty low - but that was exactly what he needed at the moment. He knew his orders, but he wasn't quite happy being placed here of all things.
[break][break]
He'd rather be joining the raid of Littleroot Town. Not skulking about for some crystal! Regardless, he kept his wits about him. Violet eyes scanned the multitude of graves that sat silently.
[break][break]
Almost as though they were quiet sentinels - judging the living.
[break][break]
"Right, let's get this over with." He muttered as he called out his faithful Pyroar - Iskandar. "Shhh... Keep to the shadows." He instructed as the lion pokemon gave the barest of nods. With their intentions made - the duo kept alert, hoping to use the cover of the fog to obscure their movements - if only for a moment.
[break][break]
"Let's go." pistol in hand, he surveys the area - ready to react at a moment's notice.

They were flanking in from the western corner of the mountain. By the time they got to the top of the damn thing there likely wouldn't be any damn fight in them anymore. The fog was thick, coiling around the weedy bases of gravestones. It was the only indicator that they were closer than they were meant to be. If the communication was right, they'd be across from , , , and in a pincer formation.
[break][break]
This seemed like a death warrant, not from the high possibility of battling the league, but the fact there was a damn asteroid careening towards them (as illustrated by the illuminated giant sphere in the sky). Either they'd die or they wouldn't, only to die at the very real possibility of getting hit by a giant rock. She was happy she was picked to climb a mountain instead of going to space, at least.
[break][break]
Considering she was paired with as USUAL, she felt she got the short end of the stick. Kuru, her corviknight was hopping along the headstones beside them. Every once in awhile, the brainless buzzard would coo up at Fern, desperate for attention. For some reason the raven pokemon loved her partner and spent routine time during their missions flirting at him. "Focus, bird brain." She hissed down and the bird hopped to attention. Try not to make a fuss, it went without saying, but really needed to be said. The corviknight took off then, camouflaged in the night. 
[break][break]
The closer they got, the more she was certain they were already surrounded. Maybe it was paranoia. She was totally 100% not weirded out by the fog or the big spooky mountain, but league could be anywhere. She had almost no expectation that they would manage to go quietly. Either by her partner's inability to shut up or her own pokemon's blundering (definite NOT by her own actions). Truthfully though, she didn't care that much. Marza wasn't designed for stealth and, underneath her attempt at the contrary, she was practically bristling for a fight. Tonight wasn't going to be boring, that much was for damn sure.

And then her boot caught the edge of a headstone....

Whispers coiled around the primal crystal as the wind barked and howled. It's pair of cold, damp hands traced out outlines of the Councilwoman's face, and the mist shifted and rolled amongst the mountaintop, both concealing themselves and the confirmed lurking intruders.
[break][break]
From up top, the woman attempted to remain hidden behind the surrounding rock. Surely, , , , and would make for far better targets, should a rocket immediately come down, guns blazing, back toward their location.
[break][break]
On cue, the familiar sound of their commissioner's voice came slashing through the air waves. It reminded them of their strict directives: protect the crystal at all costs.
[break][break]
Penelope reached out to her own mic, pressed down on the button, and followed her superior's words with some of her own.
[break][break]
"YOU HEARD HER. DON'T STRAY FROM THE MISSION; WE'RE HERE TO DEFEND, NOT RECKLESSLY GO ON THE OFFENSIVE."
[break][break]
There were far too many personal grudges between the two factions to account for. The chances of one of her own going rogue was high enough to warrant some worry.
[break][break]
"KEEP YOUR RADIOS ON FOR FURTHER UPDATES. UNTIL THEN, WE'LL BE DOING OUR BEST TO PROVIDE SUPPORT WHERE WE CAN. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE."
[break][break]
The static faded back to a soft hum as her finger lifted from the microphone. Out of everyone here, there was no telling who'd bother to radio in.
[break][break]
At the very least, she knew it'd reach the people she touched base with prior to them ascending up the mountain.
[break][break][break][break]
"Mind helping out," She whispered to her Pokémon. The Mr Rime, who had been leaning against his icicle cane beside her up until then, nodded. He first straightened out his back, then picked up his cane and gave it a few swirls in the air. From it, a thicker fog coated their surroundings.

With that thin veil of protection now out on the field, she was free to look back towards her coworkers, all of whom swarmed around the crystal with her.
[break][break]
"Any guesses as to when they'll show," She mused, to no one in particular. "Been a bit already. Maybe they heard THE was here and chickened out." A short chuckle followed her joke.

A short kiss given to his lover in the fog.

Then Temp moves.

The graveyard of Mt.Pyre was filled with the spirits. A final resting place as well as a home of rebirth if one believed the stories of how Ghost types came to be. Either way, Temp already knew they would be upset. Would be angry and scared and hurting from whatever was happening up here.

Temp moves through the weeds, up from his previous hiding spot, through the fog. Towards the stairway.

There are no moves to hide himself. He smiles, a bag of purified salt balanced in one arm. He hums a song to himself, loudly, as he throws the salt on the ground. It was something to help calm the dead. Keep restless ghosts and more importantly Ghost Types away.

Temp pauses when there is a small burble of sound. Just a tiny one.

"Hello?" He calls out, sounding confused.

"Is anyone there?" He pauses in his stride, looking around as squinting through the fog.

back with , his Kabutops hisses softly. A quick shake, ancient plates shifting one over the other, and a crackle of thunder overhead.
A Rain Dance to call up a storm.




- Temp breaks from his pack to go and toss some purified salt for the ghosts!
- I imagine he ends up roughly in G5 on the map! Around , , , but he doesn't know they're there.
- Not hiding himself AT ALL. Is making it VERY KNOWN he is there!
- Will not attack and more than willing to answer questions to anyone who approaches him!
- Not disguised at all!
- Was a trusted Gym Leader and is now just a Civvie with no record IC.
- ALSO a known dumbass with a tendency to wander into unsafe situations by accident IC
- Back with his #squad, his Kabutops is out
- Kabutops used Rain Dance

"Speak of the devil, councilwoman. They're here." Callan replied into their communications towards . Having noticed the black shadow of some person creeping through the mist in all black (), and the sound of a crunch, and fumble from a fall () breaking through his tedious sentry by the steps leading towards the Primal Point.

As Misty Terrain floods the Primal Point, Callan's wrist began to glow. "Safeguard, Wanda." The Comfey glows with a moment or iridescent light, just enough for those who were moving up towards the mountain to see a glimmer in the middle of the stairs. The Comfey's light surrounded Callan and those around him with a blessing of safety, protecting them from status conditions.

The following are now immune to status conditions for several turns:

Came his reply. Despite having been notified of the presence of people unaccounted for, he had no clue their particular whereabouts.

Eurea, his Gardevoir, gently hefted Dawn in her right hand. It was not a normal thing, for a Pokemon to wield another, but having seen 's effectiveness with in his gym, he could not help but accede that it would definitely come in useful in this situation. Alongside the pair was the Comfey which he wore around his wrist.

Morning could not come soon enough.

It was approximately around this time that the sound of could be heard, following the sound of thunder. Had it just been a single incident, Callan might have had doubts. However, he was not stupid enough to consider this to be some person who just happened to stumble around the middle of a graveyard at the top of a mountain in the middle of the most important operation in recent Hoenn history, when most of the civilians have been bunkered while there was already confirmed information that Team Rocket was here to steal a Primal Node.

"Someone arrest him."

Rain begins to fall, soaking into his shirt.

As Fern trails Marza, Cecilia takes up the rear - the dragapult following close behind. Ready to launch spectral little dreepy at anyone who might appear out of the fog ahead of the lot of them. Every so often, probably to Marza's chagrin, he does humor the incessant begs of the corviknight--occasionally scratching under his chin to reach downy under feathers. It simply cannot be helped if Kuru loves him.[break][break]

Still, he tries to be at least a little sparing in the act. It is not every day that Fern attempts to behave with a modicum less theatricality, but he's doing his best today. Even the normally comforting atmosphere of Mt. Pyre has left him with a sense of trepidation. It's not difficult to sense that the pokemon who linger here are agitated. He could claim that he's in tune with the spiritual (and normally would,) but the simple fact is that he visits often enough to sense the change. The uneasiness is steeped and weighty, but there's still a thrill that comes when the comm in his ear crackles to life with the message from Walsh.[break][break]

The trip from Marza comes unexpectedly, and Fern being Fern, nearly trips over her in turn. He has to catch himself on another headstone to stop the domino effect. He struggles to not fire off some remark about her sense of balance. Or make a cheeky comment that she's going to get them caught. He might mutter something about having Cecilia use phantom force to portal him to another spot on the mount, though. And honestly, as serious and grumpy as Marza is, that shit's funny. So-[break][break]

A hand slips up under their their mask to clap over his mouth and further muffle the sound. Though a snicker trickling through the darkness and fog to the ears of the unassuming is kinda ominous though, no?

[attr="class","illeana i"]as 's voice rises through their communications earpieces right after 's fades, her eyes sweep across the land.

fog rolls in with an eerie sense of foreboding, as if it knows what's to come...

somehow, her back crawls more with the presence than she'd like to admit. her features are neutral despite the way skin wants to crawl off bone. composure steels itself into a knife and she shows teeth for a moment as she speaks.

"if anyone finds themselves in need of medical attention during this operation, back up to the primal point. i'll do whatever i can to keep you all up but remember, my healing mist is restricted to a five foot radius."

she is, after all, a support main first and a dps main second... if backed into a corner, she'll have to battle mercy her way out of this shit. regardless, however, she begins to bleed tapu lele's healing mist into the area around them. it seeps across the ground, pink swirls mixing into the fog. perhaps if it lingers within the fog, it'll work a little better...

anyway, she looks to her left, then, and nods for her bronzong to step forward. brings up a good point: the when factor.

"future sight."

the bronzong begins to radiate psychic energy as it uses future sight, hollow red eyes scanning ahead in preparation.

"let's see what's coming..."

tl;dr |
- warns to back up to primal point should anyone need medical attention
- reminder about 5 foot radius for healing mist before lacing it into the fog
- bronzong uses future sight to see what's to come...

's voice crackled over Gunner's earpiece, followed by 's, 's, and 's. He did not respond in affirmation, however; a nearby noise to the west captured his attention immediately, the sound of someone stumbling and falling over (). On the other side of him, a voice he did not recognize called out (), as if lost.[break][break]

Other members of the League held positions to the north and east and could deal with the latter intruder. On the other hand, Gunner was the line of defense on the west side.[break][break]

Rain pattered against the top of his head. He made some quick mental calculations, then nodded in the direction of whoever had fallen. "Go," he whispered, his mic off.[break][break]

Dagonet, his Ditto, squirmed forward in the indicated direction, then TRANSFORMED into the spitting image of its trainer, complete with tactical uniform and mask covering its Ditto face. Gunner eased the handgun from his holster, and Dagonet's empty right hand twisted into one holding a gun.[break][break]

Gunner nodded again, once, and Dagonet disappeared into the mist, heading toward the noise. The fog engulfed its retreating form until it was completely gone.[break][break]

This only proved that Maverick was right. Bad luck followed him wherever he went.

The burnt scarred man let out a soft huff, warm crimson colored orbs shifted over the vast haze of nothingness that surrounded him. It made him feel uneasey. Even as he listened to the crackling voices over the communication device given to him, the ex gym leader couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen. No, it wasn’t the impending meteor that was about to destroy hoenn that caused this sensation. It was something different though Maverick couldn’t tell you what it was.

As soon the commissioner went silent, the man lowered the device from his ear. Instead, he listened to the ghostly whispers that lingered in the cold breeze. Azula, the massive six foot seven hell hound who wore a rapidash skull over her own, emitted a low dark growl. She, too, was on edge. Her nostrils flared, scenting out the breeze and anything else that it carried. The pair were alone with no one in sight. The man hummed to himself, not liking the idea of not seeing what was going on.

HIs gaze lifted to the ever so faint glimmer of the primal crystal point, using this to indicate his location on Mt Pyre. Although Maverick has been to Mt Pyre many times sense his arrival in Hoenn, the man never thought to memories the trails or routes. He let out another grunt, shifting his attention back to his clouded surrounds as his arms folded over his chest. This thick fog made his job a hell of a lot harding then he initially thought, hoping that his houndoom’s sensitive nose (odor sleuth) and sharp ears would be able to pick something up if something did arise.

Derek stands among the mist as a quiet sentry, listening on as the comms come through from many of the others further up the mountain. Callan, who is closest of them all, can be heard regardless of the device at his ear.

The Skarmory at his side looks to Derek, who nods towards it in affirmation. Violent shudders of it's steel wings reject the fog from their vicinity, allowing a clear line of sight on anything that sought to close the distance. This went especially for the individual () whose arrest Callan had called for.

Derek figured it was up to him, as the individual standing parallel to his side of the path wasn't coming forward to do so. "No sudden movements, you hear?" Derek calls towards the suspicious individual as he comes into sight with the Skarmory stalking close behind.

"Get on the ground. Hands behind your head." He recognizes the face, but they weren't part of the role call. They also didn't seem to be holding a position. Nothing seemed right about them. Nor the rain that suddenly started pouring down upon Mt. Pyre.

Oliver Shrakes stood by some steps, with him a crew of Rangers. wasn't far below him, and even closer to him. Armed with some non-standard ranger gear, he was ready for his first major confrontation with Rocket in Hoenn. He'd made it clear that if any flank was struggling, he could make it there in a jiffy with his Dragonite. It didn't take long though, for the syndicate to make their move. Callan was the first to see it, and used Misty Terrain. Further down, another trainer was doing the same. And Derek had used Defog to get rid of it some. Oliver still stayed still, ready whenever the time came.  Callan suggested a scout. Unfortunately, he didn't have anything like that...closest was Yamper or Rockruff, but even his rocky buddy didn't have oder sleuth or anything, so he stayed put. And so...he had another idea.

Taking out a Pokeball, Ollie sent out his Rockruff. The pupper yipped at Oliver, who spoke up. "Hey buddy, use Stealth Rock and make this place a bit hazardous for unwelcomed surprises." After a few more yipps, the rocky pupper hopped and set out a layer of rocks that would attack any enemy that gets past Callan and Derek. It was then the rain started, and a civilian in the form of can be heard on Derek's side. Taking out his handcuffs, the red head waited to see if anyone would try to arrest the former gym leader. If not...well, then Oliver would start on the trek to do so...

TLDR
Oliver isn't trying to hide.
He observes much the same as Callan. 
Lets out Rockruff, and uses Stealth Rock.
Waits to see if anyone will go arrest , will try to do so if no one makes a move towards him. Moves to G4?

[attr="class","rowwt"]
[attr="class","rowwtw"]"I'm sorry this had to happen here." Rowan placed a hand on Howitzer's grave, speaking to both the deceased Pokémon and . "I hope you can forgive us." Mount Pyre had deep significance to Adrian and his patron, there was no doubt that some repercussions would come from the death god for disturbing these sacred resting grounds. Rising from where he'd been kneeling, Rowan looked Adrian in the eyes with a soft smile. "Don't die on me, okay?" He leaned up and pressed his lips against Adrian's, running a hand through their hair.[break][break]

Soft droplets of rain began to fall as the two parted, heralding the arrival of the others. Rowan slid the mask over his face, the macabre visage that he hadn't worn since the raid on Sootopolis City, the guise of the man who killed 's Machamp. Blood and vomit had been scrubbed clean of the outfit, but dread still clung heavily to the fabric, intertwined with the threads. This wasn't a return to Rowan's darker past, it was the chance to break free from it. He was determined to show that no person nor Pokémon needed to die tonight, even with such a deliberate target painted on his back. "I hope you're watching over me, Suicune." He muttered underneath his breath, stepping towards the cliff.[break][break]

Greninja appeared in a flash of light, wrapping an arm around Rowan and leaping them both up onto the ridge overseeing the primal device. "We wait." He ordered Kotaro, crossing one arm over the other. Rowan wasn't going to strike first, the League would have to be the ones with blood on their hands this time. Instead he would watch, look for familiar faces among those gathered, until one of them took notice of his presence.[break][break]
