ICLY SET NOV 18

WILL USE MERIT POINTS

DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT

STALEMATE

LITTLEROOT HAS SEEN FLAMES BEFORE. While the League attempts to inflict retribution on Rocket's attempts to invade the town.[break][break]

The meteoroid is weighs heavy in the heavens. Those who risk glimpses of the sky would discover smoke clouds. Fiery blossoms of explosions. Elemental fronds springing forth in fresh growth.[break][break]

Harsh sunlight scorches grass, wood, and flesh as the city is torn by the power of each trainer's Pokemon. And yet, the PRIMAL POINT is defended, but barely. However, the true prize perhaps, lies beneath the rural township itself, closer to the theater.[break][break]

Throughout these battles, if not at the very end, trainers convene with each other for convalescence or tend to themselves.[break][break]

RECOVERY

IN THIS ROUND, you may roleplay your character healing or reviving one of their Pokemon. For flavor, you may roleplay your character healing another character's Pokemon/your character's Pokemon receiving healing from another character.[break][break]

Please indicate which of your Pokemon is being healed or revived in the TL;DR. Please use the species' name and not the Pokemon's nickname.

The Commissioner's voice enters the ears of all League personnel: "primal points will be fired in... five minutes... pyre do you read me? are things okay there?" a pause. "littleroot. reinforcements are en route. "[break][break]

The Rocket Boss responds too, but his signal is distorted. He speaks quickly, but is cut off into a tangle of static and white noise. "look no further than to the town for your backup—"[break][break][break]

Around the PRIMAL POINT, a pulse of energy expands and bends trees from the force. The space before the machine features a glowing fissure. One that travels into the air as if the air were a cracking glass pane.[break][break]

An UNOWN-K appears. Rotates around like a spinning plate as a black, flat panel manifests into its full rectangular shape. From the black pane, a man with blond-white hair emerges fitted with a tight-fitting black suit. He grumbles, rubbing his shoulder.

CHEF QUANTO

THE CHEF TUGS THE BLACK FABRIC OFF HIS MOUTH. He reveals his face, for there is little need for diguises now. After all, everyone in Hoenn will die and the memory of his visage will fade along with it.[break][break]

🎼 Battle Vs. Shadow Triad | Pokémon Masters EX

[break][break]

Hideo Kino and John Sullivan would recognize this man from their time manning the closing shift of 🦴BONE APPETIT!. Others would find The Chef familiar from the Fleur Tea Atelier. Eris Halla, Alexei Ivanov, Locke Jamison, Hideo Kino, boruta maher, Kazimir Wynter, Felix Gallagher, Elisabeth Fiorelli, Thomas Benoit, jayden cross would remember his curt nature. His awful customer service.[break][break]

"god. why can't this shit ever be easy."[break][break]

As he prepares, his UNOWN-K is defend against any attack as it begins to rotate quicker and quicker, the fracture present before the PRIMAL POINT beginning to sever into various limbs. Like a branching timeline, the cracks violently spread and destroy the constitution of this localized space of reality.[break][break]

Suddenly, the fissure gives way and a sound akin to that of a thousand glass cathedrals shattering pierces the ears of everyone in the town. From this dangling crevasse, a daunting winged dragon-centaur, an angel of temporality, trespasses the universal crack. Its long legs trod on the scorched ground with sharp hooves, deep blue diamond-esque gems encrusted upon its body. Elisabeth Fiorelli, Thomas Benoit, Aaron Toral, and Hideo Kino, those who had taken the Past Terminal in the Cloud, would recognize this as an ORIGIN FORME DIALGA that had hatched from a celestial egg.[break][break]

The DRK Triad assassin rolls his shoulder, a smile finally emerging on his face. One of arrogance than elation, like a housekeeper finally able squash a pesky fly against a window pane. "arceus helped dialga know its place. with its power on our side, i'd just give up. your plans here are just a flash in the pan."[break][break]

FROM THE SKIES, several Pokemon descend in an aura of emerald and gold. A TAPU KOKO cries, shifting toward several LEAGUE TRAINERS, while a TAPU BULU charges in beside it with brutish speed. Finally, a DIANCIE appears. MEGA EVOLVED, several crystals orbit its torso like a diadem.[break][break]

Conversely, the cry of MEGALOPOLANS emerge from the nearby woods and from some abandoned houses. They appear with a variety of ULTRA BEASTS, immature and smaller-sized, these aliens seem to be freshly hatched. These people have appeared in their normal forms, their blue, pale flesh shifted back from their shinified human bodies.[break][break]

The Chef raises his brow. Thinks to himself again: "why can't this shit ever be easy."[break][break]

NEW MECHANIC:[break]
BACK-UP

THE LEAGUE & TEAM ROCKET have received reinforcements for their fight in Littleroot.[break][break]

Every League character can choose TAPU KOKO, or TAPU BULU, or DIANCIE. Depending on their choice, they will be able to augment their Pokemon's attacks with the power of TAPU KOKO, TAPU BULU, or DIANCIE. Each attack your Pokemon makes will have an aspect of NATURE'S MADNESS (THE TAPUS) or DIAMOND STORM. Feel free to be creative, adorning your Pokemon's attacks with Fairy-type, Grass-type, Electric-type, or Rock-type energy that can manifest in ways like vines, sharp diamonds, etc. This is largely FLAVOUR TEXT.[break][break]

Every Rocket character can choose AN ULTRA BEAST (NIHILEGO, BUZZWOLE, PHEROMOSA, XURIKITREE, CELESTEELA, KARTANA, GUZZLORD, POIPOLE, NAGANADEL, STAKATAKA, or BLACEPHALON). Depending on their choice, the character will be able to use the ULTRA BEAST and attack with it too. This will largely be FLAVOUR TEXT.[break][break]

Depending on events later, this advantage may be lost. Please BOLD what you have taken in your TL;DR.

The DRK Triad member does not seem demoralized. After all, with a Pokemon such as DIALGA by his side and the confidence of his organization's experience, he does not stand down. "dialga, ROAR OF TIME!"[break][break]

As the attack surges across the field, some may notice the ground near LITTLEROOT THEATER tearing apart. Crumbling. The damage committed by Zev Harcourt, bryan delarosa and priam conrad seems to have made this already fragile earth more fragile...[break][break]

Simultaneously, the charms, the markings from MESPRIT and UXIE begin to hiss and spark on Eris Halla and Hideo Kino's skin. Should the curious emblems have disappeared, they would have reappeared in this tense moment.[break][break]

NEW MECHANIC:[break]
RECIPE FOR DISASTER

TO HELP DEFEND AGAINST THE ATTACK, as a group, collectively complete the following prompts. One character fulfilling a prompt will fulfill for everyone else. For example, if a prompt says, "USE ULTRA BEASTS X3", the character using AN ULTRA BEAST will fulfill the prompt once, leaving other characters to fulfill the prompt for the two remaining times.[break]

ADAMANT CRYSTAL

[break][break]

• USE ULTRA BEASTS X3
• USE TAPU/DIANCIE AUGMENTED ATTACKS X5
• ENGAGE WITH THE SINKING EARTH AROUND LITTLEROOT THEATER X1
• ENGAGE WITH THE PRIMAL POINT X1

The PRIMAL POINT remains untouched. Faced with this otherworldly obstacle and incoming meteoroid, the factions must consider their choices:

Do we attempt to dig further beneath and around Littleroot Theater?[break][break]
Do we attempt to activate the primal crystal in an act of desperation?[break][break]
Do we fight against Chef Quanto and his Dialga?[break][break]
Do we take this moment to take down any opposing faction members?
