ICLY SET NOV 18

WILL USE MERIT POINTS

DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT

SPELL OF THE UNOWN

AS SOULS RETURN, FATHER WINTER ATTEMPTS ESCAPE. Chained by a makeshift red chain, one comprised entirely of UNOWN, the ORIGIN FORME PALKIA, Father Winter and his UNOWN-D become semi-submerged in a slit-like rift.[break][break]

Around them, sentinel UNOWN under the orders of both the triad and of ARCEUS, cycle and strike.[break][break]

A battle-worn Gwyar Wledig does not back down from the summit. His AEGISLASH defends him against an UNOWN's HIDDEN POWER, buying enough time for a newly resurrected Leonidas Stone and his PRIMARINA to conjure a MOONBLAST. After the Fairy-type energy coalesces into a grand body, it is thrown at a swarm of godly eyes.[break][break]

Atop the mountain, the PRIMAL POINT RIFT surges and trembles violently, like a spewing nerve. maverick noah ryder's URSHIFU MEGA EVOLVES. A harsh thrust of its arm lands a WICKED BLOW on a cloud of UNOWN and the PALKIA itself.[break][break]

Those who take time to examine the man's retreat will notice that FATHER WINTER is using the ORIGIN FORME PALKIA as his shield...[break][break]

Others attempt rescue. Hailing from Petalburg, DEREK HOFFMAN's CHARIZARD lunges in for a sharp SLASH across the UNOWN CHAIN. Immediately after, it contends with an aggressive swarm of UNOWN as a recovering MARISOL SIMONE and her GENGAR fires a DARK PULSE to protect the fire-breathing lizard. A THUNDER WAVE from ollie morales's DRAGONITE arcs forth, shackling an UNOWN that chases after DEREK HOFFMAN and his Pokemon too.[break][break]

For Rocket, Isaac Merlo and his SCRAFTY lead a startling defense. Although it is not perfect, the Dark-type struggling to keep up with the masses of UNOWN, its BEAT UP manages to strike UNOWN after UNOWN like a martial monk deflecting a flurry of a thousand fists... This buys enough time for all of Team Rocket to attack unimpeded. Subsequently, BARNABY FINCH and his CHARIZARD TO MEGA EVOLVE. Roaring, it fires a BLAST BURN on the UNOWN CHAIN. The hottest flames burn and warp the scene with heat shimmer for those looking afar. It is this burning fire that illuminates the chains as a target.[break][break]

Amor Rose attempts to IMPRISON the UNOWN with his GALLADE. However, it does not prevent them from firing HIDDEN POWERS in retaliation. Before they can subdue the defected CEO, dorian westcliff's INCINEROAR breaks through them with a DARKEST LARIAT that rushes toward the PALKIA alongside Johanna Joy's DRAGAPULT. As its trainer snaps from the sight of a dying Megan Whitmore, the ghostly dragon DRAGON RUSHES toward the chains binding the PALKIA...

TERAVOLT TURNABOUT

AS A TOXTRICITY POSTURES BEFORE ITS TRAINER, Callan Young scales up. Electricity crackles around him with the clang of revolution. A Z-MOVE; TERAVOLT TURNABOUT riffs through the air, loud enough to be heard across the entire mountain.[break][break]

Those who can revel in the TERAVOLT tune find the muse of healing and inspiration resonate within. Oliver Shrakes and @elio's Pokemon fire empowered HYPER BEAMS. The DRK Triad member again uses PALKIA as a shield. Wailing, the dragon of space takes the blow on its chains and body, UNOWN scattering about.[break][break]

Others join the onslaught with everything they've got. Gunner Graves's ALAKAZAM raises its spoons to focus. Its attempt to ALLY SWITCH with the dragon is not entirely successful; however, the psychic exertion buys everyone time, for the PALKIA is tugged inch by inch away from the created rift of FATHER WINTER'S.[break][break]

PENELOPE LIVY's METAGROSS launches a PSYCHIC energy that latches itself onto the PALKIA too. An additional shackle from paxton concordas's KLEFKI'S FAIRY LOCK attempts to haul the dragon back into the realm, as Kyrenai Black's LUNATONE empowers her blade. She strikes at the UNOWN that scatter, but she finds that she must leap out of the way soon.[break][break]

Beside ollie morales, illeana reyes's rage is channeled through her GOLURK. Its Z-MOVE: NEVER-ENDING NIGHTMARE soars through the mountainside. It joins the daring strikes of Melody Miro's COBALION, its Z-MOVE: CURTAIN CALL cleaving justice from the barricade of UNOWN with every strike of its horns. Rowan Wrynn, who joins her, protects her from any retaliation with a MIRROR COATED ARAQUANID.[break][break]

While Greyson Connors stands stunned from the very kind of disasters his gym has prepared others for, annalise henderson refuses stagnancy. She calls upon her ALTARIA TO MEGA EVOLVE. As it is filled to the brim with energy, it calls upon the powers of the moon. A MOONBLAST is launched, joining with illeana reyes's GOLURK'S ATTACK and a G-MAX TERROR from Remiel Calcifet's G-MEGA GENGAR.[break][break]

Ashley Shepard finds resolve in this pivotal moment. Denying the past's hold on him, he launches an all-out offensive with his RILLABOOM. He attempts to rush for the DRK Triad member himself, who matches the Rocket's eyes for a moment. There's a startled look to his face, inspired by the sheer conviction of a man he does not know.[break][break]

Suddenly, an ICICLE CRASH from lilith eirwin's Pokemon descends on the UNOWN AND PALKIA with frigid clamor alongside vines and the REST OF EVERYONE'S CONJOINED ATTACKS. A resulting massive explosion expands across the peak, shattering rock and earth from the consecrated mountain.[break][break]

In midst of it all, Adrian Malcolm and Remiel Calcifet blitzkrieg through the cover of chaos. A flash of lightning and malevolent red cuts through like a neon strip.[break][break]

It rocks FATHER WINTER and PALKIA violently, threatening to launch them through to their desired destination, but the newly resurrected SHADOW DUSKNOIR channels a BLACKHOLE. As the SHADOW HOLD from Cillian Quinn's SHADOW DHELMISE joins the ensnarement, the PALKIA is held back, forcing its back hooves onto Hoenn soil.[break][break]

The Rocket Boss manages to comfort the Underboss he's by, shadowy wisps still flaring off of his form like torn flags.[break][break]

"don't apologize. the crystal is a simple bonus compared to the intel we're receiving right now..." The Rocket Boss says in response to Cillian Quinn. His eyes examine the League's elite, their Pokemon, their abilities, their actions in the face of imminent peril.[break][break]

THE UNOWN CHAIN

AS THE SMOKE DISPERSES, everyone would be able to witness the dissolution of PALKIA's SHACKLES. There is nothing for Tempest Quinn to catch, nor is there anything for fern delaney's PRIMAL SHARD to catch. As THREE V-SHAPED FLAMES fly across the region, the DARKER SHADOWS pass by fern delaney and his HAUNTER. When they do, fern delaney would feel an intense feeling of dread. One that pales his skin and makes the breath shallow...[break][break]

From the ground, a revived, almost-bird-food Marza Volchitsa would feel a similar sensation as she watches them fly by. That is, if she can withstand the pain of coming back into her agony-riddled body.[break][break]

Others are not so lucky. Whether it is due to their desire to pass on, or the fact that the grand gate to the afterlife has now finally been opened, vivan flores's body remains cold...[break][break]

Aidan Hereford and his MEGA SCIZOR had joined Martín del Mar during the conflict, protecting from stray debris and attack. The Underboss calls to the UNOWN. Communicates a lifted word from the UNOWN REPORT: HISUI. Unbeknownst to many, the teleportation FATHER WINTER attempted had been sabotaged by his UNOWN-D. D for defection perhaps? For it sensed Martín del Mar's desire to keep it safe... and as the UNOWN CHAIN disperses, the UNOWN-D floats over to Martín del Mar.[break][break]

At first, it is cause for alarm and defensive maneuvers from Aidan Hereford, but it is clear that it is friendly now:

FATHER WINTER'S UNOWN-D[break]HAS JOINED Martín del Mar.

[break][break]

It does not have the same powers it once had due to its severance of connection with DRK Triad; however, Martín del Mar will be able to use TWO UNOWN at once in an event if it has Pokemon limitations.[break][break]

This UNOWN can be reported in the UNOWN REPORT.

The ORIGIN FORME PALKIA is freed from all hinderances. However, it is heavily confused. With a horrific roar, PALKIA raises its front hooves. A SPATIAL REND tears into the fabric of this universe's reality. As it readjusts itself, hooves clodding on the earth, the PALKIA seems to have received a hint of lucidity... it grants a grateful gaze to everyone before rushing into its own rift before disappearing.

PALKIA IS NOW IN HOENN

FATHER WINTER

Raziel Beckett'S TERRAIN OF TRUTH HAS BEEN SET, wisps of flame ready to detect lie and to pursue dimensional fugitives. However, with the PALKIA and UNOWN-D taken care of, there appears to be no sign of FATHER WINTER. The wisps lift themselves and pursue where ever FATHER WINTER has gone...[break][break]

For it appears that Remiel Calcifet, with the use of his LIGHTNING STILETTO had managed to steal FATHER WINTER. As the Admin attempts to TELEPORT away, he notices that his own body is slick. Wet and hot. He can not go too far too because Raziel Beckett's WISPS manage to strike and BURN him, forcing his TELEPORTATION to stop someway on the mountain.[break][break]

It would be a matter of time until Remiel Calcifet and FATHER WINTER is found. That is, whatever is left of the man. In Remiel Calcifet's hand is the halved body of FATHER WINTER. The DRK Triad member, cleaved straight in the middle from head to toe, had been bisected by his own attempt of teleportation. He remains in Remiel Calcifet's arms, the residual electricity crackling around him like a funeral pyre's flames.[break][break]

On his face: a smile.[break][break]

Suddenly, Remiel Calcifet is scared by a voice. It should not come from a body cut so clean like this. But FATHER WINTER speaks, gargling in the throes of some supernatural suffering.[break][break]

"just wait... until you meet... my other half..." He says before the eternal silence, save for the scarlet bubbling of trapped air.

THE BORDER

YVELTAL AND Adrian Malcolm REMEMBER THE CACOPHONY of battle. The blurred image of PALKIA. Strands white hair and white scleras. However, they strike none. In their powerful charge, they find themselves trespassing the PRIMAL POINT RIFT.[break][break]

It is a sea of fog and smoke. A purgatory of souls. In the dim light of a false gold moon, Adrian Malcolm and YVELTAL would be able to witness spirits flying past old mountains and crossing ancient bridges. The spirit of vivan flores can be seen, peacefully gliding away.[break][break]

"executioner, do you know of this place? the very ground whereon the soles of your feet tread? this is the border." The YVELTAL says. "the realm between life and death."[break][break]

They advance further, or at least, it feels like they are. The way the smoke billows back and forth like a haunting tide obscures direction and creates illusions of movement.[break][break]

Smoke sheds away from a few mountain faces, revealing large four cracked seals into their sides. The YVELTAL grows grave in mood and halts its Avatar from moving any forth. "something is amiss... the seals have been broken... all of humanity's grudges. all of their envy, hatred and fear... they are now gone from this place. quick, executioner, we must go."[break][break]

And so they leave this place, perhaps to return one day.[break][break]

THE WILDS will include THE BORDER as a possible location in the future.

THE END

AS Adrian Malcolm AND HIS PATRON LEAVE THE BORDER, everyone would be able to notice that the rift is still unstable. Powerful waves of energy raft from this new dimensional hole. It is clear that remaining here on the mountain is unsafe for now.[break][break]

As Team Rocket and the League depart, news of the region being saved break into everyone's now functioning communication devices. However, one must question what other dangers they have welcomed into this place. Those who stare up into the sky will still see remnants of sparkling rock and fragment scatter across Hoenn.[break][break]

Perhaps, they may discover an unrecoverable TERASTAL CRYSTAL embedded deep into the earth, unable to be chipped or plucked. Who knows what these crystals seep into the earth. What dreams and desires they whisper to the dead buried on Mount Pyre.
