DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT

THE PRIMAL POINT

AS BATTLE IS WAGED over the once idyllic town of Littleroot, the dreadful shape of the meteoroid looms in the far heavens. Like pyre smoke, the plume of pursuing spacecraft leave scars against 99943 METENO's growing skull.[break][break]

Some guard the main entrance to LITTLEROOT like COUNCILWOMAN Elinor Anderson. Clad proudly in her Ranger uniform, she inspires those around her as the cries of battle ring through the air. Nearby, GYM LEADER Alexei Ivanov rides on SALAMENCE. He navigates the air smoothly to scout the area while his lover, dismounts his NOIVERN toward ROCKET BEAST Alexandra Briarwood and attacks with a FOCUS BLAST, slowing her advance. Similarly, Kaida Adachi's KROOKODILE rushes toward her SPECTRIER too, attempting to CRUNCH; however, it is EMPOWERED upon being struck thanks to ANGER POINT.[break][break]

Still, she arrives first. A BULLDOZE enough to run past grunts and officers.[break][break]

However, others charge alongside her in the blitzkrieg toward the PRIMAL POINT.[break][break]

ADMIN jayden cross manifests with Elisabeth Fiorelli, ADMIN Felix Gallagher and their Pokemon from an expanse of spectral energies. TOXIC SPIKES scatter from ADMIN Elisabeth Fiorelli's TOXAPEX and a FLAME begins to burn near the nearest house, clearing areas and providing intel for the whereabouts of their enemies.[break][break]

The Admin's AMOONGUS springs forth, shifting its mushroom cap hands to forge a PROTECT as elijah gardner and his GOGOAT skid to a stop nearby.[break][break]

Nearby, @leilanilaurent conceals herself with VESPIQUEN. A SWEET SCENT wafts toward enemies by the PRIMAL POINT, while freya morningstar hovers above on SALAMENCE too, keeping ELITE FOUR MATIAS SILPH in her sights.[break][break]

Much to the shock of TEAM ROCKET, MATIAS SILPH summons his GROUDON: a secret now gilded by sunlight. Suddenly, the battlefield is scorched with DROUGHT. A PRECIPICE BLADES forces sharp blades of earth in the area of the PRIMAL POINT, splitting trainers and their Pokemon apart, if not tossing grunts away.[break][break]

Fighting-type specialist KING WAYLAND is almost impaled by the sudden javelin of stone. However, his LUCARIO manages to help them avoid it; he searches for the Elite Four— but he is easily found. Cade Atreides evades the PRECIPICE BLADES barely; he and his DRAGAPULT phasing in and out to reappear behind GROUDON.[break][break]

THIS CLOSE TO THE PRIMAL POINT, John Sullivan seizes the opportunity to get the upperhand. He MEGA EVOLVES HIS ORBEETLE and as it metamorphoses into an intimidating saucer, it conjures a powerful G-MAX GRAVITAS. Thanks to @leilanilaurent's SWEET SCENT, the LOWERED EVASION allows for the subsequent assault to be performed with relative ease.[break][break]

The initial damage would be mitigated by some degree, but would still be able to bypass any PROTECTION. Beneath the Rockets near the Primal Point, the earth shifts lower, creating a slight crater as RANGER CAPTAIN boruta maher and his AERODACTYL attack with a ROCK SLIDE. Brutal rocks are caught within the INCREASED GRAVITY plummeting with a deadly speed toward the invaders.[break][break]

Julia Davis's DETECT would allow her to find Rockets among the unearthed blades of stone; while Thomas Benoit and his partner, Andraste Breathnach would be able to do the same. However, some bodies can be detected within Littleroot's buildings as well. Perhaps, these are the citizens too stubborn to evacuate...

LITTLEROOT THEATER

OTHER TEAMS ENGAGE THE THEATER. A disguised Eris Halla is attempts to reunite with Hideo Kino in the chaos. Around them, the bodies of unconscious Pokemon and injured trainers guide their journey to the theater. With every turn, a new threat arises. Team Rocket. An unpredictable beam of energy, a flare of flame, or bone crushing pillar of water. Thankfully, Shalin Nariya is able to provide them with the necessary cover to succeed. A SUPERSONIC from her YANMEGA allows for their union.[break][break]

RANGER CAPTAIN Tam Fawley communicates to his Slateport Ranger squad as his BLISSEY SAFEGUARDS. Orion Lykos, Caleb Harcourt, Hailee Jacobs, Noah Camus and wren rourke are wreathed in the protective veil as they advance toward the building. Rourke's EEVEE grants a HELPING HAND to Hailee Jacobs's BLAZIKEN as it DETECTS. As Hailee Jacobs and Noah Camus follow obediently, a DETECT manages to discover nearby Rockets, reaffirming that the theater is a destination of interest...[break][break]

In particular, it detects one Chu-e Choi. Relinquishing any confidentiality, THE SCOURGE attempts to distract Orion Lykos's DECIDUEYE as a WEEZING SLUDGE BOMBS the platoon of rangers, which @viole would be able to witness with his GENGAR from a safe distance.[break][break]

However, Caleb Harcourt's LAPRAS would be able to mitigate some of the toxins. Its RAIN DANCE dilutes the poisons; however, the siren may be able to avoid being poisoned as well.[break][break]

Carefully, they plod forth as Orion Lykos's DECIDUEYE, shining with its celestial lights, lands on the theater roof. A SPIRIT SHACKLE is prepared to fire against anyone who may enter... but may have been distracted by Chu-e Choi's crystals.[break][break]

With his LATIAS, Locke Jamison attempts to advance inside the theater, as the earth rumbles beneath his feet from Kazimir Wynter's MINIOR'S EARTHQUAKE. Aaron Toral would try to fend off the Rockets encroaching upon the theater as well. His STEELIX snakes forth, throwing a ROCK SLIDE toward priam conrad and his GABITE as they attempt to dig a path into a lower floor of the theater.[break][break]

Thankfully, priam conrad is not alone. Zev Harcourt's COFAGRIGUS conjures a CRAFTY SHIELD around the digging GABITE, ROCKET BEAST bryan delarosa'S AUDINO and Levy Alinsky's SALANDIT, offering the slightest sense of solace to the more nervous grunt. The dragon's ability to dig is emboldened by bryan delarosa's AUDINO and as the earth shakes and stones fall, the GABITE manages to bore a path into a basement floor...

A PIERCING SHRIEK emanates from an unknown location, but the primal crystal seems to amplify its volume. Unbeknownst to everyone, the dimensional integrity of this universe falters for a split second and a potent ROAR OF TIME slips through the cracks. Briefly, TIME IS STOPPED in this town.[break][break]

However, everyone maintains their consciousness during the briefest pause: a frightening experience of powerlessness. Of no control. Of uncertainty... and then everything resumes with a harrowing bang. Everyone is knocked around from their feet as the invisible dome briefly illuminates; those in MT. PYRE may have noticed the dome shimmer too if it were not for the fog...[break][break]

THERE IS MUCH TO BE DISCOVERED HERE AND YOU MUST FIGHT FOR IT.
