ICLY SET NOV 18

WILL USE MERIT POINTS

DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT

THE UNOWN CHAIN

THE RETURN OF THE PRIMAL POINT'S BEAM comes as a surprise to the DRK Triad Chef. The meddling of fate. Anomalies that tear into the expected timeline from blind spots. It is all too much even for the DRK Triad to expect.[break][break]

As Chef Quanto attempts to pull the DIALGA back with him to a dimension or universe unknown, the trainers of Hoenn attempt to fight back. Alongside them, some Megalopolans join the fight, their Ultra Beasts soaring toward swarms of UNOWN.[break][break]

While Guillermo Marceliño clings to Alexei Ivanov, their TORNADUS and RIOLU fight in tandem. A METEOR MASH descends with EXTRASENSORY'S psychic power against the UNOWN CHAIN. Nearby, a recovering Kaida Adachi and her COMFEY cast a flurry of MAGICAL LEAF that weaves in with Councilwoman Elinor Anderson's KOMMO-O'S CLANGING SCALES. The resulting attacks scatter UNOWN apart like tossed Lego blocks.[break][break]

A SHINY SALAMENCE is summoned from freya morningstar's ball. With a mighty roar, it BRUTAL SWINGS the chain, loosening the UNOWN'S hold as they rattle about. Shalin Nariya's MILOTIC fires an ICE BEAM that freezes the ropes of UNOWN against the eerie legs of DIALGA, granting Caleb Harcourt's LUCARIO to land a brutal CLOSE COMBAT that ends with the shattering of ice against fist.[break][break]

Elisabeth Fiorelli is keen enough to understand the grave implications of what has happened. With these opening rifts—although the multiverse's topology has been liberated from its crushed shape—what threats lie beyond these portals? What hidden damages have been incurred by the sudden spring of universal unraveling? Where are the micro-cracks in desperate need of grout? Her small and borrowed NIHILEGO POUNDS its tentacles against the DRK Triad Member's UNOWN-R.[break][break]

The NIHILEGO's ATTACK is enough distraction for Felix Gallagher's GALLADE to dart in. A sharp swing of its blades slices across the chain with the dark energy of a critical NIGHT SLASH. Simultaneously, jayden cross's borrowed KARTANA is brandished with a startling swiftness. Its SACRED SWORD is adorned by the verdant blooms of a MIMIKYU'S GIGA DRAIN.[break][break]

Representing ranger resilience, boruta maher bounces back from the explosion. His GOLEM exchanged for a MEGA EVOLVING TYRANITAR, a violent STONE EDGE erupts from underneath the DIALGA. Sharp stones pierce through the chain, forcing UNOWN to scatter while Kazimir Wynter's CELESTEELA uses one bamboo-green limb as a bridge for Locke Jamison. From the sinkhole, Locke Jamison's SMEARGLE casts a MYSTICAL POWER from its paintbrush tail, while SEED BOMBS are pumped out from the CELESTEELA'S FREE ARM. Together, the attacks clash among the debris of crumbling stone.[break][break]

Orion Lykos's ABSOL dashes toward the DIALGA. Leaping over flame and toppled plank, it MEGA EVOLVES and swings its head, the crest hardening for a CRITICAL NIGHT SLASH on the chain. As the UNOWN find themselves disconnecting, Julia Davis's LUCARIO leaps, paws facing each other to conjure a powerful SHADOW BALL. It howls, launching the massive orb of energy toward the chain...

QUANTO AND TIME

SOME DIRECT THEIR ATTENTION DIRECTLY TO THE DRK TRIAD MEMBER, QUANTO. However, the man uses DIALGA as a shield against the onslaught. Where he lacks the cool arrogance of Father Winter, lacks the conspicuous conviction of Dr. Holo, Quanto possesses enough mulishness to keep himself safer than the others.[break][break]

John Sullivan and his patron calls upon their GALVANTULA. A SPIDER WEB falls upon the DIALGA, strings of the strongest silk attempting to keep the temporal steed from teleporting away with Quanto. Cade Atreides's MEGA SABLEYE attempts to strike the DRK Triad's UNOWN-R. It slows the act of teleportation, allowing others to strike before the resolution.[break][break]

Tam Fawley and his SLATEPORT SQUAD attempt to strike the assassin himself. However, the KLEFKI'S STEEL BEAM and Hailee Jacobs's ATLARIA's MOONBLAST are endured by the DIALGA itself. Explosions of energy rock against the behemoth as Noah Camus watches alongside Chu-e Choi.[break][break]

The slayer of Ouroboros, Alexandra Briarwood, calls upon her DHELMISE. The rattling of chains fills the air as an ANCHOR SHOT fires toward Quanto, who shifts to the side in time for the attack to wrap around DIALGA's LEG. The ANCHOR SHOT's length tightens as it heaves the DIALGA back.[break][break]

An ESPEON from Andraste Breathnach attempts to PSYCHIC Quanto, but it nabs the gargantuan titan of time instead. It pulls the DIALGA back too.[break][break]

Julia Davis's LUCARIO'S SHADOW BALL flies toward the chain. Simultaneously, Thomas Benoit's HYDREIGON launches its Z-MOVE: DRACONIAN WRATH. The dragon's three heads open their maws wide. Within each bloodthirsty jaw, beams of energy grow before coalescing into a crackling draconic skull of energy that launches toward the chain.[break][break]

On VIRIZON, MATIAS SILPH charges toward the DIALGA alongside the arcs of these attacks. The sacred swordsman glows with a prepared MEGAHORN. An unlikely allyship, though unplanned, comes in the form of Eris Halla's MESPRIT. A MYSTICAL POWER reveals itself with its true strength. The lake guardian's PSYCHIC power is channeled into a powerful projectile that swerves in alongside the aforementioned attacks.[break][break]

They crash into the splitting UNOWN CHAIN. Combined energies detonate like a nuclear bomb against the adamantine crystal of the ORIGIN FORME DIALGA.[break][break]

In the aftermath, as trails of smoke leave the area like ghostly scarves, all that is left is an unchained ORIGIN FORME DIALGA. Quanto seems to have departed safely alongside his UNOWN-R.

LITTLEROOT'S ABYSS

MEANWHILE, AT THE SINK HOLE OF LITTLEROOT, wren rourke looks for his beloved friend. Far below, he sees the golden membrane of an impermeable rift. Its glossy pane reveals another world deep below, perhaps, a kingdom from the past resurrected by the temporal manipulation of DIALGA'S ROAR. A GOGOAT greets him for assistance, should he take elijah gardner's help.[break][break]

@viole's suspicions would prove to be correct. The mechanical kingdom deep below is indeed, Rocket's aim. As he flies out of danger with his GOLBAT, Hideo Kino descends safely. UXIE hovers close to him and although the child can not see what is beyond the temporary veil, the UXIE decides to communicate feelings. Words. Its knowledge:

HEART... SOUL... MECHANICAL... TIME SIGNATURE...

Nearby, Zev Harcourt catches the burning FUSION OF A MEGA SABLEYE'S GEM & PRIMAL CRYSTAL SHARD. He obscures his party after rescuing Levy Alinsky, the COFAGRIGUS'S HAZE expanding as an ominous sea. Although Aaron Toral attempts to follow priam conrad, the HAZE interferes with the child's attempt to find him.[break][break]

Eva Morales's publication inspires Zev Harcourt. His recollection of League academia allows him to commit the daring: another activation of the primal shard.[break][break]

The eager, 1-vs-100 hungry priam conrad complies. After he crushes a Z-CRYSTAL, his GABITE is empowered with the power of ULTRA HOLE RADIATION. Simultaneously, bryan delarosa's AUDINO MEGA EVOLVES. The dramatic lights of their transformations can be witnessed by Aaron Toral through the smoke, but they do not betray what is occurring beneath the HAZE.[break][break]

The AUDINO DAZZLING GLEAMS, but it is the direct strike from Z-MOVE: CONTINENTAL CRUSH that secures the consequence. A BLINDING LIGHT consumes Levy Alinsky, bryan delarosa, priam conrad and Zev Harcourt before they disappear.

THE[break]MECHANICAL KINGDOM

TEAM ROCKET FINDS ITS TICKET INTO THE MECHANICAL KINGDOM. Although the League will eventually find their way into this space, a realm once hidden and deactivated by the passage of time, the odd primal crystal grants the syndicate a shortcut.[break][break]

Zev Harcourt, priam conrad, bryan delarosa and Levy Alinsky find themselves in the middle of a refunctioning kingdom built out of clockwork gears and machinery. They manifest in the middle of a city square. There are no humans here. Just pipes, pulleys and levers; though curiously, despite their old make, comprise what appears to be a technologically advanced kingdom.[break][break]

Around them the heavy stomping of metal can be heard. Occasionally, a music box's song can be heard, its melody appealing to the hearts of those listening. Artificial, pokeball-shaped Pokemon teeter and totter around following the music's rhythm like animatronics on an orchestrated ride.[break][break]

Slowly but surely, the Rockets find themselves surrounded by VOLCANION. These Pokemon seem entirely mechanical, lacking a sentience and glow behind their eyes. They detach the arch on their back to form two pipe-like limbs, ready to expel hot SCALDing water at these intruders...

THE ROCKETS WILL ESCAPE BACK TO HOENN USING THE PRIMAL CRYSTAL BY THE END OF THIS THREAD.[break][break]

THIS PRIMAL CRYSTAL IS THE MEANS OF DIRECT TELEPORTATION TO THE MECHANICAL KINGDOM.

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

DIALGA

The ORIGIN FORME DIALGA is freed from all hinderances. However, it is terribly perplexed. With a pained roar, DIALGA raises its front hooves to retaliate against all those here... but gains a shard of lucidity. A grateful gaze passes throughout the town as another ROAR OF TIME is loosed.[break][break]

This time, the attack is more calculated. More soft. It rebuilds buildings and pavements. It REVERTS DEVOLVED POKEMON (SHOULD THEY DESIRE) back to their original iterations in time.[break][break]

As its hooves land on the earth, the ORIGIN FORME DIALGA stands tall and proud, unhindered by its progenitor's wishes. Then, it leaves. The DIALGA disappears into its own rift, finding some corner of Hoenn to recover in...

DIALGA IS NOW IN HOENN

AS THE DRAGON OF TIME DEPARTS, everyone would be able to notice that the rift underneath Littleroot. Powerful waves of energy raft from this new dimensional hole. It is clear that remaining here in the town is unsafe for now.[break][break]

As Team Rocket and the League depart, news of the region being saved can be heard on the comms. 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 hidden history beneath Hoenn...[break][break]

UXIE AND MESPRIT join Hideo Kino and Eris Halla against a backdrop of the multiversal dramas. Though they remain quiet about their involvement in the world's fate for now, they intend to protect them. They will play along with their games, enjoy their company, but they must be respected. The question remains however. What happened to AZELF? What punishment has been enacted against the Bringer of Willpower?[break][break]

Those in the League would now know of another horror. The Megalopolans are back. How many are among them in this secret invasion? Their ULTRA BEASTS retreat from their temporary partners... but perhaps, the wilds of other worlds may house these curious, alien Pokemon.
