THE ARMIES OF BALLONLEA, CIRCHESTER, HAMMERLOCKE AND MOTOSTOKE collide with the baneful brethren of their enemies.[break][break]
At the command of each kingdom's royalty, the ILLUSORY ZAMAZENTA & THEIR TOWNSPEOPLE rush toward the armies that bulge and swell like festering festoons. It is a deafening crescendo of Pokemon and trainers alike.[break][break]
This march of fate is met with the thunderous drums of war, clashing swords and anguished cries. All around our heroes, battles erupt into furious storms. Though our heroes have faced peril before, a war of this scale has never been experienced before.[break][break]
And with new experiences, comes new heartaches.
EN ROUTE TO THE GIGANTAMAXED RILLABOOM, a convoy comprised of jayden cross, Felix Gallagher, mint frost, fern delaney and bryan delarosa charge into the pestilent army.[break][break]
The opposing army lurches toward them, dripping sewage and waste from their sagging limbs. Aftering sharing a glance with freya morningstar, jayden cross announces their charge. His DYNAMAXED ROARING MOON soars downward as a MAX QUAKE scrambles the army. Poison Pokemon are tossed into the air like toys as jayden cross catches them with his DUAL BLADES OF BITTER BLADE.[break][break]
Alongside jayden cross is fern delaney atop his DRAGAPULT. The dragon summons DRACO METEORS that spear through the enemy troops. As the sullied earth trembles from the impact, the townspeople rush into the space created. Their weapons and Pokemon lunge at those made vulnerable.[break][break]
Felix Gallagher's IRON VALIANT DYNAMAXES too, its lithe robotic body now a towering killing machine. Its MAX SPIRIT BREAK crashes into the toxic troops, tearing them apart into puddles. Any survivors are quickly dealt with by a GLAIVE RUSH executed by his fellow Rocket, Amor Rose.[break][break]
Experienced in the battlefield, John Sullivan reveals his mastery over the remnants of his power. His HEALING SCALES cut through the putrid Pokemon like butter before softening into graceful petals of restoration when they grace an ally's skin. His MEGA ORBEETLE uses a G-MAX GRAVITAS, plunging the advance of some of the enemy platoons into a slow march.[break][break]
While luka chêne's MUSHARNA is still unable to decipher the future, its FUTURE SIGHT descends like mortars. The PSYCHIC-TYPE ENERGY crashes upon MUK, SWALOT, AND OTHER SLUDGE-MADE MINIONS as she heals enemies away. In contrast, Kyrenai Black's rushes in ruthlessly, slicing any that stand in her way. She thrusts her FLAMBERGE OF INFERNO unto the ground, engulfing the area around her in FLAMES. Those caught in it are immediately incinerated, wafting a bitter stench toward the heavens.[break][break]
Ahead, Eva Morales's RAYQUAZA DYNAMAXES. A gargantuan shadow, serpentine in shape, falls upon the enemy as DRACO METEORS crash into noxious ranks. As the enemy scatters about, KING WAYLAND's DYNAMAX LUCARIO fires AURA SPHERE AFTER AURA SPHERE like a turret. Each strike obliterates a sludge monster into mere droplets.[break][break]
Inspired by Isaac Merlo, El Sunderland leaps into action with their supportive partner, TOGEKISS. SAFEGUARDS wreathe their allies, presenting POISON from settling into their blood. Those who are unfortunate enough to be poisoned are subsequently healed and granted brief sanctuary by the wave of their STAFF OF HEAL BELL.[break][break]
As the chiming of El Sunderland's staff rings throughout the plain, Jack Napier's TOME OF TRI-ATTACK fires missiles of elemental energy against the malodorous minions before him. His ABSOL leaps about with NIGHT SLASHES while Oliver Shrakes's CLUB OF ICE BEAM stalls a portion of the army's advance with an icy wall. Those halted are pummeled to the floor by Alba Evovae's HAMMER OF GRAVITY. They pop like pimples as they flatten to the earth.[break][break]
While Oliver Shrakes's GALVANTULA electrifies several poison enemies, MATIAS SILPH and his VIRIZION cleave and sever the polluted creatures with their blades. Poison sprays from each disconnected limb as they ruthlessly fight for their way home.
THE GENERALS
OTHERS FOCUS ON THE SLOWKING AND SLOWBRO GENERALS. Below and between the lethal explosions and artillery of the GIGANTAMAX POKEMON AHEAD, our heroes manage to break through to the THESE BANEFUL BRIGADIERS. They belch and croon, waving their limbs like necromantic wizards, while the one GALARIAN SLOWBRO fires with its SHELL SIDE ARM.[break][break]
@sergei's ROARING MOON snarls and summons a MAX WYRMWIND against one GALARIAN SLOWKING GENERAL. As the draconic energy swirls about, tossing inferior enemies into the air, the SLOWKING spews sludge from its horns. The festering liquid strike some of the brave townsfolk, immediately killing them. Before more can fall, Madeline McKenna's CROBAT fires a DARK PULSE to distract it. Its trainer continues to fight despite the departure of her daughter into the chaos of war.[break][break]
With immense strength, the behemoth bryan delarosa swings his pilfered GIGATON HAMMER. It crushes the SLOWKING'S STOMACH, spewing a geyser of poison from its concaved gut as his XERNEAS absorbs energy to empower itself with a GEOMANCY. The sheer strength of the swing launches the SLOWKING. Under the glow of his patron's boon, the SLOWKING is seen by Kouji Matsubara and Kaname Fujihara.[break][break]
Ever the supporter, Kaname Fujihara and his SWALOT ensure Kouji Matsubara's attacks make purchase. His SWALOT uses HELPING HAND on Kouji Matsubara's URSHIFU. As the SLOWKING arcs toward the DYNAMAXED bear, its muscular arm winds up. A G-MAX ONE BLOW smashes into the GENERAL and obliterates a swathe of the army behind it like they were swatted bugs. The chiming of Kaname Fujihara's HANDBELL OF LIFE DEW summons droplets that swiftly suck up the spraying poison lest they hinder his ally.[break][break]
Toward another SLOWKING GENERAL, Xenon Antheil dives in close. Her BLACK METAL ARM strikes it with a DIRE CLAW. The crystal on its head-shell cracks, allowing Rhydia Ver's PAINTBRUSH OF PSYCHIC to seize control of its body. She attempts to hurl it into the air—but it manages to break free, descending back to the earth with the billowing of its cape.[break][break]
However, Gerald Kaiser's DECIDUEYE makes use of its precise aim. It fires a Z-MOVE NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE from its spectral bow to brutalize the SLOWKING upon landing.[break][break]
After being severely hindered, the SLOWKING can not react when kyle lopez darts in for the kill. His MIGHTYENA lunges for the GALARIAN SLOWKING with its Z-MOVE: MUTINY MATRIX.[break][break]
Drawing upon the strength of the Pokemon around it, the SLOWKING is brutalized by claw and fang before being plunged through the heart with kyle lopez's ZWEIHANDER OF SKETCH.[break][break]
The IRON LADY OF THE FORGE, Aurelie Lefevre charges into the battle with her master-crafted weaponry. Her WAR HAMMER OF FLAME CHARGE swings with brilliant flame to crush several enemies as her GOLETT uses EARTHQUAKE. The GALARIAN SLOWBRO moans, firing back projectiles of poison from its arm; however, Josh Devlin, on the SACRED ASH RAIKOU lent to him by kyle lopez's powers, blitzkriegs in with incredible, hair-raising speed. As he speeds into the fray on his mount, his SWORD OF ELECTRO BALL plunges through the compromised SLOWBRO.[break][break]
The kill is too fast to discern by ordinary eyes. Like a defeated samurai after the swiftest slice of a sword, the GENERAL falls. Its limbs fidget and twitch, spilling poison as the electricity continues to course through its sludge form.
GIGANTAMAX POKEMON
AFTER THE GENERALS FALL, GALAR'S KINGDOMS ADVANCE FURTHER. Ahead, the NECROZMA AND ETERNATUS continue to engage in their duel. Their monstrous forms entwine, each movement desperate and primal. Claws run down plating and rib, unleashing crackling energies forged eons ago.[break][break]
 On top of the SACRED ASH SUICUNE provided by kyle lopez, Julia Davis launches herself into battle with her RAICHU. As she clears the way with her SWORD OF SACRED SWORD, her RAICHU DYNAMAXES. As it supersizes, a MAX LIGHTNING smashes into the GIGANTAMAX INTELEON'S SHIELD. ana fell's DYNAMAXED IRON VALIANT assists too, its MAX OVERGROWTH crashing into the splintering bulwark. However, Genevieve Cromwell's DYNAMAXED RALTS finally smashes the shield apart with its MAX MINDSTORM.[break][break]
While Genevieve Cromwell fires OVERDRIVE ARROWS with her SUNLIGHT YELLOW BOW, her RALTS IS PROTECTED FROM FAINTING by Leonidas Stone's RING OF KING'S SHIELD.[break][break]
 With the chiming of HEAL BELLS, MARISOL SIMONE's DYNAMAX CLEFABLE bombards the GIGANTAMAX INTELEON ATOP ITS TOWER with a MAX STARFALL. In retaliation, the sniper fires piercing SNIPE SHOTS. Those struck are immediately killed, as some of the townspeople discover. Saki Shitachi manages to use her VAMBRACES OF PHANTOM FORCE to avoid these shots; although the distance is far too great to teleport all the way to the INTELEON, when she finally makes it, her IRON VALIANT is able to contribute with a CLOSE COMBAT against the enemy's tail.[break][break]
The GIGANTAMAX INTELEON begins to teeter. Mirabella Fontaine's GALARIAN ARTICUNO DYNAMAXES to capitalize on its imbalance. A MAX MINDSTORM forces the INTELEON TO TOPPLE, while Isaac Merlo's DYNAMAXED GENESECT forces it to the ground with a MAX LIGHTNING.[break][break]
On the ground, the INTELEON attempts to slither away. However, a G-MAX TERROR AND SHADOW TAG from Zev Harcourt's GIGANTAMAX GENGAR prevent it from escaping. Brutally injured, it fires SNIPE SHOTS haphazardly. With Leonidas Stone's DYNAMAX ELECTIVIRE, Elisabeth Fiorelli and her DYNAMAX VENUSAUR move to execute it. A G-MAX VINE LASH & MAX LIGHTNING descend upon the injured Pokemon as if they were javelins of divine judgement. Combined with a spell from Elisabeth Fiorelli's MAGE STAFF OF BITTER MALICE, the INTELEON is SLAIN.[break][break]
THE GIGANTAMAX RILLABOOM DEFIES ITS ENEMIES with the fierce drumming of its wooden instrument. As the deep bass of its drumming rumbles throughout the battlefield, vines tear apart our heroes' allies and their Pokemon.[break][break]
As genesis aria fox clobbers encroaching enemies with her fists, her GIGANTAMAX CORVIKNIGHT uses G-MAX WIND RAGE to tear a segment of shield away from the ape. Elaine Highland is quick to follow up. Her DYNAMAX FLYGON soars above the battlefield, its wings crooning a sweet melody as they flap. A MAX FLARE crashes onto cracking shield before being joined by Hitoshi Inoue's DYNAMAX CERULEDGE and its own MAX FLARE. The shield shatters, and a HARSH SUNLIGHT emerges to grace the field with searing heat.[break][break]
From the sky, freya morningstar and her DYNAMAX ROARING MOON unleash another MAX FLARE. The empowered flames burn the RILLABOOM'S FLESH—but more importantly, they burn its drum set to a crisp. Below, mint frost reaches Hideo Kino. His ASTROLOGIAN GLOBE OF BLIZZARD rotates like a beautiful music box, casting BLIZZARD to freeze enemies around them. His SLITHER WING protects Hideo Kino with its MAX FLUTTERBY while BEHEEYEM DYNAMAXES.[break][break]
A MAX MINDSTORM slams into the shrieking RILLABOOM who ravages the earth with further vines. As Hitoshi Inoue cleaves apart enemies with his SWORD OF BITTER BLADE, Hideo Kino supports him with his SWORD OF FUTURE SIGHT to clear his path and to help avoid the vines.[break][break]
Caleb Harcourt's LAPRAS GIGANTAMAXES under the RAIN summoned by his TRIDENT. As the ice freezes the RILLABOOM'S FEET to the earth, an AURORA VEIL protects Lucas Holden and his GIGANTAMAX CINDERACE. The inventors of this memory's version of football (or soccer) fight in tandem. With an athletic stride, the two kick a G-MAX FIREBALL AND CLOSE COMBAT ball onto the staggered ape, forcing it to the ground with a terrible crash.[break][break]
As BARNABY FINCH covers the area with his ARROWS OF MYSTICAL FIRE, his GIGANTAMAX CHARIZARD unleashes the final crematory flames of a MAX FLARE. Again, bolstered by the HARSH SUNLIGHT, the GIGANTAMAX RILLABOOM stands no chance. It is swiftly burned to ash, any residual sludge boiling where the ape once stood.[break][break]
SHRIEKING, THE GIGANTAMAX CINDERACE is a deadly foe. Fireballs crash into the earth, engulfing the poor peasantry in unextinguishable flames. absalom steel's JIGGLYPUFF DYNAMAXES. Its large rotund body slams onto the earth as a MAX STARFALL crashes onto its shield. Colton Boothroyd follows suit. His DYNAMAX ROTOM sparks and fidgets as it launches a MAX GEYSER at the shield too, causing it to splinter. Finally, Lucette Castellane's DYNAMAX GRENINJA breaks the remainder of the barricade with its MAX GEYSER too. As it breaks apart, DYNAMAX PARTICLES scatter alongside wisps of steam.[break][break]
Belial Stone is fast to capitalize on the exposed rabbit. With his URSALUNA DYNAMAXED, the two rush forth with a MAX QUAKE. The earth rumbles beneath the GIGANTAMAX CINDERACE'S pyro ball podium, extinguishing a portion of it and forcing the CINDERACE to clumsily stagger in place.[break][break]
In retaliation, the CINDERACE launches balls of flame; however, our heroes are not deterred. Tempest Quinn and Cillian Quinn have their avian Pokemon join together. As the CINDERACE is held somewhat in place by Cillian Quinn's SHADOW HOLD KNUCKLES, a MAX GEYSER and MAX AISTREAM from their SHADOW LUGIA & GALARIAN ARTICUNO crash into the CINDERACE to prevent it from effectively fighting back.[break][break]
RAINS BEGIN TO FALL and each large droplet that strikes the CINDERACE'S FIERY BALL causes it to sizzle loudly like the lit fuse of a dynamite stick. Under the rain, the CINDERACE is severely weakened. Violet Fairbanks offers it the mercy of death. With her DYNAMAXED JELLICENT, she fires a MAX GEYSER through the rains and executes their gargantuan enemy in a relentless deluge.
INTO THE FRAY
THE ILLUSORY ZAMAZENTA continue to run. Their paws leave an ethereal light in their wake like firefly spirits. They run toward the NECROZMA & ETERNATUS—but continue past them. They rush through POSTWICK and disappear into the SLUMBERING WEALD behind the ravaged town.[break][break]
Eventually, the ETERNATUS begins to overpower the NECROZMA. With an otherworldly roar, the skeletal dragon forces THE BLACK KNIGHT toward the earth; perhaps, the ETERNATUS does not want its enemy to be so close to the skies. The two collide into POSTWICK's homes, crushing their abandoned structures as they resume their savage bout. The two creatures fight without taking notice of your presence. As they court each other violently against the stained earth, our heroes must make a choice:
DECIDE WHO WINS
IN THIS PENULTIMATE ROUND, your characters must decide whether to AID THE NECROZMA or AID THE ETERNATUS. Characters can also choose to ABSTAIN.[break][break]
Depending on which of the two Pokemon receives the most aid, the characters will be provided with a vision of WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED should the NECROZMA WON or the ETERNATUS WON. In other words, they get to decide the true ending of this story.[break][break]
This battle has occurred in this site's setting before, but has never been seen or written. The "canon" outcome will be revealed in the next post; however, the "non-canon" outcome may provide equally interesting information as well.[break][break]
Please include your character's choice in your TL;DR. You DO NOT NEED TO ROLL this post.
Far off in the distance, the sound of a faint howl can be heard.

SERGEI CANNOT EVEN TELL ANYMORE IF IT'S DAY OR NIGHT, the familiar sight of the magenta light has erupted from the earth and everything is engulfed in sinister ambience.
Watching the first of the people to engage in the battle, Sergei follows suit. He is riding his Roaring Moon when the glimmer from Eternatus rains over Enigma, urging its transformation into the gigantic dragon that it is now. The dragon roars, MAX WYRMWIND gathering the gale around one of the poison army general Slowking and the mob of sludge around it. A vortex of purple energy forms, overpowering the enemies with the dragon's might.
