🎼 Battle! Zacian/Zamazenta


EXPOSITION



IN EARLY JUNE, sightings of TWO CANID POKEMON that have fled the ailing Galar region begin streaming into League and Rocket Headquarters. These Pokemon are widely believed to be powerful entities, relative unknowns shrouded in twisting, expanding mythologies that obfuscate the nature of their existence. Though, it is possible that their names are known, passed down by the thinnest threads memory: ZACIAN & ZAMAZENTA.[break][break]

Although they are seemingly taking refuge in Hoenn, what prompts both factions to react with severe urgency is the involvement of two never before seen Pokemon. One sports a large, ritual vessel on its head, while the other wields broken blades tipped in sharp ice. Thanks to gathered intel, such as 's REPORT, both factions identify these Pokemon as horribly powerful forces from The Border: a mountainous purgatory accessible via a primal rift on Mt. Pyre.[break][break]

The Pokemon clash beside the ANCIENT TOMB ON ROUTE 120 in a fierce contest over what appears to Zacian & Zamazenta's sword and shield....

RELEVANT THREADS


THE FOLLOWING THREADS have connections of varying degrees with this event. Please note that this list of threads is not comprehensive.
⚔️ DAWN OF THE DARKEST DAY[break]
⚔️ MACRO COSMOS MEDIA[break]
⚔️ DAHLIA CO-OP RVL[break]
⚔️ PARADISE LOST[break]
⚔️ WE WHO CURSE THE EARTH


For this event, there are two raid threads:



RAID 1: RUSTED SWORD



WHEN YOUR TRAINERS ARRIVE, the Zacian has been severely weakened by a TING-LU. Its sword has been torn away, rusted and in the process of being corrupted by the Vessel of Ruin...[break][break]

Before you can intervene properly, the RUSTED SWORD pulses with a terrifying force that pales the skin and plunges your souls into fissures of ceaseless fear before being drawn into the artifact itself. When you come to, you find yourselves in a twisted version of GALAR: a region rendered hostile by tarnished memories.[break][break]

To escape, you must fight your way out of the ruined kingdom and save Zacian before it's too late... After all, who knows how long you will be trapped here, for time flows differently within new artifacts of ruin compared to the outside world.


RAID 2: RUSTED SHIELD



WHEN YOUR TRAINERS ARRIVE, the Zamazenta has been severely weakened by a CHIEN-PAO. Its shield has been ripped away, rusted and in the process of being corrupted by the Sword of Ruin...[break][break]

Before you can intervene properly, the RUSTED SHIELD pulses with a hateful force that boils the blood and splits the skin and bone with absolute malice before being drawn into the artifact itself. When you come to, you find yourselves in a twisted version of GALAR: a region rendered hostile by tarnished memories.[break][break]

To escape, you must fight your way out of the ruined kingdom and save Zamazenta before it's too late... After all, who knows how long you will be trapped here, for time flows differently within new artifacts of ruin compared to the outside world.


OOC EXPLANATION



THIS IS A RAID EVENT where characters post every round, attempting actions and/or responding to prompts or scenarios present within provided MODERATOR POSTS. Oftentimes, characters must make use of the ROLL command, which can determine the success of actions and/or create narrative tension.



Although this event is a DEATH-ENABLED event, death is highly unlikely within this scenario. However, the IC-stakes of the event will place the characters in certain peril. Ample warning will be given for possible deaths—and players can collaborate with me if they would like to craft dramatic moments like sacrifices, etc.[break][break]

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to take advantage of this event to connect with new characters and to step out of your comfort zones. These events often act as a springboard for a variety of plots in its aftermath, with consequences that impact the wider site narrative and/or setting.[break][break]

Do note that this is NOT A ROCKET VS LEAGUE faction-based event.[break][break]

There is a high chance of a dramatic TIME-SKIP occurring within this event, which does not affect the timeline outside this "alternate" Galar.[break][break]

Lastly, to temper expectations... ZACIAN & ZAMAZENTA WILL NOT BESTOW AVATARSHIP in this event. This is also NOT THE RUINATION.


RULES



PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.


  • only ONE of your characters can participate in each raid (i.e. 1 for Rusted Sword; 1 for Rusted Shield) for a TOTAL OF 2 CHARACTERS.
  • [break]
  • AVATAR-RELATED LEGENDARY POKEMON are allowed, but they will take up ONE POKEMON SLOT.
  • [break]
  • please provide a tl;dr &/or bold moves/abilities/items used with each post.
  • [break]
  • i will not tolerate complaints about not being mentioned, tagged, acknowledged or feeling "useless" in a raid. generally, i attempt to mention all characters and their actions in each post, but depending on the number of participants, this may not be feasible.
  • [break]
  • remember that although i am essentially the DUNGEON MASTER or GAME MASTER of this event, much of this event's enjoyment and storytelling lies upon the players shoulders. collaborate with what i provide in each moderator post and each other for the best result!
  • [break]
  • lastly, be cognizant of participating players and characters. no one is the "main character" of an event, and allowing space for give-and-take between characters and their actions is highly encouraged.
  • [break]
  • more rules will be specified in the actual event thread.
  • [break]



SIGN-UP CODE


TO SIGN-UP, fill out the template below. It does not matter if the thematic questions present within your sign-ups are not properly filled out or left blank.[break][break]

You do not need to lock in movesets and Pokemon until the start of the event and your first post. However, after your first post in the event, your Pokemon and movesets will be considered as locked in and static.
