RUSTED SHIELD  [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET EARLY JUNE DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1113335527198965832/wikstromo.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 Battle Vs. Wikstrom - Pokémon Sword and Shield [break][break] BALLONLEA
jayden cross IMMEDIATELY CHARGES INTO THE FRAY. Feeling BOLD allows his CERULEDGE to endure the relentless claws emerging from the sludge. In his SYGNA SUIT, jayden cross manages to inspire the townsfolk he saves as his Pokemon cleaves through limbs.[break][break]
Rhydia Ver attempts to inspire with a rousing speech—if one could call it that. Though some may understand her approach, the core philosophy of her words, others seem a little disturbed. Still, the inspiration lands.[break][break]
As the citizenry mobilize, Felix Gallagher begins to fortify the barricades under the cover of his DOUBLE TEAM GALLADES. absalom steel manages to find various crates and sturdy planks among the dilapidation. His contributions prove pivotal to fill the gaps between stakewalls.[break][break]
Lucas Holden assists too, but with his CINDERACE with the diversion of sludge. The rabbit leaps with fiery step through the poison pools as John Sullivan's ORBEETLE MEGA EVOLVES. Waves of poison are moved away from the city center, sparing many buildings and shrooms. Violet Fairbanks's JELLICENT summons a WHIRLPOOL to prevent new rivers from forming, allowing the new barricades to be made.[break][break]
When Alba Evovae attempts to investigate the POISON, he would be able to discern the following:
Some head to the OBSERVATORY despite the mess of writhing graspers lunging from the poison. On his borrowed GLASTRIER, Hideo Kino's UXIE would strike with its FUTURE SIGHT. Psychic energies plunge like spears onto palms as samuel carter's GARDEVOIR distracts hands in others' blind spots with a DOUBLE TEAM.[break][break]
mint frost's BEHEEYEM gathers several hands together with a deft PSYCHIC. As if being sucked by a BLACK HOLE, they momentarily struggle... but the more that are amassed, the stronger the hands seemingly become. genesis aria fox's ANNIHILAPE leaps and STOMPING TANTRUMS the wriggling mass before they can escape.[break][break]
Xenon Antheil does the same with her SCOLIPEDE. The equine-like megapede clobbers several hands obstructing the POKEMART with an EARTHQUAKE. Inside the mart, there are indeed supplies. Some are able to salvaged, like potions and repels; however, many are either expired or marred by poison that has managed to leak into the building.[break][break]
In the OBSERVATORY, bryan delarosa manages to emerge from an exposed piece of the tree trunk that faces into the lab. luka chêne, fern delaney, jayden cross and Lucas Holden eventually make their way into the druidic observatory too. Soft sunlight beams through the ceiling, casting light against the wooden flooring and mushroom-motifs carved into the walls. A telescope rises toward the open roof. Several notebooks can be seen resting on alchemist benches—but the pages appear to be mostly blank, with several illustrations seemingly depicting incomplete constellations...
BALLONLEA'S TALE
From another w'rld, heroes arriveth,[break]
cleansing sludge and claw by earth, pool and mind,[break]
walls art hath raised to protect us i'm told.[break]
as speeches forge our hearts so bold[break]
what more shalt beest remembered?[break]
...
CIRCHESTER
IN CIRCHESTER, Tempest Quinn manages to inspire the peasantry with his speech. The reclamation of "home" is a powerful idea—one that is made more poetic and sublime by Eva Morales's GALLADE'S Z-MOVE: ANGELIC SHOWERS and Cillian Quinn's SHADOW LUGIA'S RAIN DANCE.[break][break]
With a roar, the peasantry mobilize. Many go to erect new defenses. Saki Shitachi is already busy at work, her METAGROSS constructing several key layers of palisades facing toward the borders. In the mean time, KING WAYLAND's LUCARIO attempts to sense incoming threats—and in time, it indeed discovers them:
As the townsfolk rush to reclaim the city, Hitoshi Inoue saves several crowds with his GALLADE. It predicts their locations before striking them down with its blades, while Gerald Kaiser's KECLEON leaps to fire PSYBEAMS at hands bubbling up from the sludge.[break][break]
Madeline McKenna focuses on THE HERO'S BATH. Her BLASTOISE digs deep to prevent the vein from the CIRCHESTER POWER SPOT from further contaminating the spring. It manages to obstruct the tunnel before RAPID SPINNING out again, for freya morningstar summons the power of her SALAMENCE, Lyune.[break][break]
TERASTALLIZED INTO STEEL, the dragon slams into the bath's tiles. Steaming water erupts like a crown all around freya morningstar and her mount as an EARTHQUAKE ravages the pool.[break][break]
Genevieve Cromwell is quick to use her TOXTRICITY'S BOOMBURST to clear any remaining sludge away as it splashes outward, allowing people to marvel at the result.
CIRCHESTER'S HOT SPRING now features clean, flowing water. Miraculously, the EARTHQUAKE and precise digging of Madeline McKenna's BLASTOISE have allowed the bath renewed access to a clean source... water that heroes of old have washed in before.
CIRCHESTER'S TALE
From another w'rld, heroes arriveth,[break]
and protect our kingdom with psychic mind,[break]
a rousing speech inspires by angelic rains,[break]
while claws and sludge art quell'd before teen[break]
falls upon our realm again, but fret not shouldst[break]
we incur did wind once more, the hero's bath[break]
returns to glory by a queen of dragons,[break]
what more shalt beest remembered?[break]
...
HAMMERLOCKE
IN HAMMERLOCKE, Colton Boothroyd's MAGNETON provides much needed illumination city by erecting LIGHT SCREENS. Dismal parapets adopt this colour as El Sunderland's ALAKAZAM provides pivotal assistance to these workers. A PSYCHIC fends off encroaching POISON HANDS while Kouji Matsubara darts in and out of the city.[break][break]
DEEP TRENCHES ARE CARVED around the old city; however, during the last of his scouting, he is the first to spot alarming movements ahead:
Though kyle lopez and Zev Harcourt may not make for the most charismatic of leaders, their temporary truce allows them to inspire the peasants of HAMMERLOCKE. Flanked by a TERRAKION and bestowed benevolent healing by a HATTERENE, the townsfolk are quick to join everyone else in rebuilding the city.[break][break]
As they mobilize, Mirabella Fontaine's HISUIAN ZORUA darts from crate to castle wall, conjuring a BITTER MALICE that destroys any encroaching palm. Kaname Fujihara does the same. Heroically, Josh Devlin and his ZERAORA dart about; shocks of electricity ring out through the air as they leap from hand to hand with PLASMA FISTS.[break][break]
In disguise, he commands his GALARIAN SLOWKING to use its magic: an EERIE SPELL dispells pools of poison before they flood more of the city. @juliadavis's DODRIO dashes throughout the city too. In the wake of its STOMPING TANTRUM, no sludge dares to form.[break][break]
In the HAMMERLOCKE VAULT, Lucette Castellane, Amor Rose, Jack Napier and sergei dachev attempt to save the tapestries. Jack Napier's GARDEVOIR attempts to clear the stone walls of sludge, while Lucette Castellane's GRENINJA does the same with a HYDRO PUMP.[break][break]
As the murky water runs off the walls, POISON HANDS lunge out from the remaining sludge. Amor Rose's GOLURK forces them back to their purple pools with isolated EARTHQUAKES.[break][break]
However, sergei dachev attempts to clear the tapestries. His TATSUGIRI SOAKS them, revealing only TWO that have survived. With the VAULT CLEARED, the tapestries can finally be seen:[break][break]
HAMMERLOCKE'S TALE
From another w'rld, heroes arriveth,[break]
to recup'rate our wounded, our walls, and minds. [break]
a dragon scout carves deep trenches [break]
while lightning and spells stomp hands of noxious stenches[break]
the townsfolk art did inspire by two strange men[break]
while the vault returns to its former glory again[break]
what m're shalt beest remembered?[break]
...
MOTOSTOKE
MOTOSTOKE'S PEASANTS ARE INSPIRED by the brave vanguard that Isaac Merlo summons. A GROUND ZONE spreads across the field thanks to his SYGNA SUIT, empowering the EARTHQUAKE of his ARON significantly.[break][break]
Sludge and poison are pushed back with indomitable force. Caleb Harcourt's ABOMASNOW assists too, its own EARTHQUAKE shoveling a huge pool of sludge away from the cowering peasants; the GROUND-TYPE ENERGY OF THE ZONE keeping it from forming again.[break][break]
Aurelie Lefevre begins to organize the peasants too. With her expertise of forging and smithing, she fortifies the city air-tight. Her GOLETT'S STOMPING TANTRUM prevents the graspers from interfing—allowing the townsfolk to marvel at her work.[break][break]
Kyrenai Black's TYRANITAR MEGA EVOLVES. With a roar it EARTHQUAKES and crushes a wave of POISON HANDS. As they squelch, a bitter, Galar-hating Elisabeth Fiorelli commands her VENUSAUR to ground more of these threats. An EARTH POWER splits several of these schloppy limbs in two.[break][break]
Leonidas Stone does the same. His JOLTEON grants him safe passage into the TRAIN STATION as it downs several POISON HANDS with a COPY CATTED EARTH POWER from Elisabeth Fiorelli's VENUSAUR..[break][break]
In the TRAIN STATION, Leonidas Stone is joined by MATIAS SILPH and MARISOL SIMONE who make it under the cover of her DEWGONG'S SAFEGUARD. In the station, they notice messages sprawled throughout the walls written in dried poison or perhaps, is it blood?:
They can see the TRAIN COMING THROUGH THE STATION, but before it can continue its route, BARNABY FINCH's SHADOW STEELIX launches a FLASH CANNON and soyeon kwan's METAGROSS join it too thanks to the Admin's command.[break][break]
Their attacks blast into the elevated track and obliterate it, forcing the TRAIN OFF THE TRACK. Consequently, the IMMINENT THREAT FROM THE POWER SPOT will be UNABLE TO USE THIS TRAIN in its GIGANTAMAX FORM.[break][break]
As the track falls apart, ana fell and Belial Stone reroute the sludge. The former is clever with her GARDEVOIR, forming aqueducts for the sludge to naturally ooze away from crowded areas with carefully placed debris. Belial Stone diverts these noxious currents with his CHINGLING too, with some being forced into these safer passages created by ana fell.[break][break]
 Oliver Shrakes and Elaine Highland investigate the mine carts, but they must be careful. The brick bridge they are on crumbles apart at its edges. Should they fall, it would be a steep dive into the WILD AREA...[break][break]
The carts house glowing ores. They radiate a magenta hue, similar to that of the poison's...
MOTOSTOKE'S TALE
From another w'rld, heroes arriveth,[break]
acting as earthen bulwarks for our town to survive[break]
violent women slayeth the hands at our throats[break]
while a mistress of the forge builds cotes[break]
for our wingless people as the bleeding train[break]
is severed from its track.[break]
what more shalt beest remembered?[break]
...
THE FIRST ATTACK
THOSE MANNING THE DEFENSES OF EACH CITY ring warning bells. An attack is imminent. Whether it was thanks to KING WAYLAND or Kouji Matsubara's scouting or anyone else who breaks the news, eventually someone would report that they see a GALARIAN ARTICUNO rushing for the front of each city. The bird is incredibly fast, and its clawed feet clash against the BARRICADES MADE.[break][break]
Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see that it is ARMORED BY BLACK METALS. Similarly, it brings an army of POISONED GALARIAN POKEMON who are controlled by the sludge, who continually attempt to breach your city walls.[break][break]
However, that is not all. From the POWER SPOT in each city's stadium. A POISONED POKEMON crawls upward and out in tortured frenzy. Upon hitting the ground, the Pokemon GIGANTAMAXES, expanding to an incredible size... one that almost rivals the size of the ULTRA BEASTS THAT HAD ATTACKED MOSSDEEP ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO...[break][break]
PLEASE PRETEND THE GALARIAN ZAPDOS ARE GALARIAN ARTICUNO UNTIL SHIV CAN EDIT THEM!
