RUSTED SHIELD  [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET EARLY JUNE DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1106699913103945820/illusions.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 Illusions Zacian & Zamazenta - Pokemon Sword & Shield [break][break] LEAGUE DEFENSE
MASSIVE WAVES OF SNOW AND ICE surge from the CHIEN-PAO'S power, the great rumblings of this avalanche a fanfare for its gathering momentum. It prepares to bury and sweep those beneath it.[break][break]
absalom steel zips out of danger, his HISUIAN ZOROARK tearing out of the wave of the snow with its trainer in tow. Others are not so lucky. sergei dachev unties with Jack Napier; however, as his CYCLIZAR rushes toward the Pokemon, they are smothered in the avalanche. Before Jack Napier is taken by the avalanche too, he would find that his ABSOL'S FUTURE SIGHT proves to be ineffective: no vision is shown.[break][break]
Like the valiant ZAMAZENTA, many aim to defend their ilk. John Sullivan summons his FROSMOTH, wings spreading to cast a WIDE GUARD against the snow. Behind this barricade, El Sunderland manages to mount their TOGEKISS—which manages to conjure a SAFEGUARD that shimmers across their area.[break][break]
Similarly, Colton Boothroyd and MARISOL SIMONE hide behind the WIDE GUARD'S barricade. The engineer manages to order his IRON VALIANT toward the ZAMAZENTA, while MARISOL SIMONE's CERULEDGE focuses on the canine. Flames burn from its spectral armors as it attempts to ALLY SWITCH with it... finding it difficult to shift such an incredible behemoth of armor and fur instantaneously. The CERULEDGE continues to focus as Lucas Holden hunkers behind the defenses too.[break][break]
Before Lucas Holden sends his CINDERACE toward the CHIEN-PAO, the WIDE GUARD begins to shatter from the sheer force of the Ruinous Pokemon's attack. The avalanche is not just snow. It is sheer malice: the ice surfs across this malevolent force.[break][break]
The shield breaks, causing shards of tough ice to batter his CINDERACE upon its ascent. Several sharp chunks narrowly miss Julia Davis.[break][break]
However, the PRYO BALL is loosed. It soars across the battlefield, melting snow in its wake alongside Elaine Highland's FLYGON which carves a cavity in the relentless snowslide....
ROCKET DEFENSE
Felix Gallagher'S GALLADE BRANDISHES ITS BLADED ARMS TO FORGE A WIDE GUARD FOR ITS ALLIES. As the snow soars against and around this psychic barricade, many take refuge. Violet Fairbanks settles behind it as her FROSMOTH conjures a TAILWIND.[break][break]
Hastening winds blow behind Tempest Quinn who rides on his KOMMO-O. Managing to get close while avoiding banks of falling snow and ice, the Rocket eventually needs to order his dragon to PROTECT. The relentless avalanches courses above him.[break][break]
akira manages to be PROTECTED by her UMBREON. As the snow surges over her, Aurelie Lefevre manages to do the same. Her ELDEGOSS expands its COTTON GUARD to shield the Lady of the Iron Forge. Unfortunately, Mirabella Fontaine, Amor Rose, Saki Shitachi and their Pokemon are tossed about by the swiftly moving avalanche.[break][break]
Although Kaname Fujihara and Madeline McKenna attempt to DEFEND against the avalanche with their Pokemon, the malice-infused snow and ice wears their respective bulwarks down. They are swiftly overtaken.[break][break]
samuel carter would notice that his ABSOL'S FUTURE SIGHT, much like Jack Napier's, is ineffective. No vision is granted—and the avalanche smashes into him and mint frost, while Lucette Castellane manages to shunpo away with her GRENINJA. The frog fires a HYDRO PUMP from its high altitude, the burst of water slamming into the ZAMAZENTA below.
ZAMAZENTA
THE ZAMAZENTA IS BOMBARDED BY ATTACKS. It yelps with every strike, its eyes squinting in pain, maw agape to reveal the bleeding gums behind its fangs. Still, it remains defiant. Although the tiniest grains and fragments scatter from its breaking shield, the ZAMAZENTA howls during its last stand.[break][break]
Thankfully, it is not alone. Before it, Oliver Shrakes's DRAGONITE redirects the FLAMETHROWER sent forth by genesis aria fox' SALAZZLE. With a billowing gale, the flames melt a segment of incoming snow, but they fail to reach the CHIEN-PAO.[break][break]
However, a ceaseless sea of flames comes for the dog. Against fire and ice, the ZAMAZENTA attempts to defend itself. With every lick of flame endured, John Sullivan's HEALING SCALES swirl around it, healing the cracks. Healing singed fur and flesh.[break][break]
Though bryan delarosa attempts to HEAL BLOCK such a power with his SILVALLY, luka chêne's WHIMSICOTT manages to TAUNT it. Its cottony body directs its attention, a mischievous rhythm to its movements.[break][break]
 Colton Boothroyd's IRON VALIANT defends the ZAMAZENTA, its robotic movements parrying a portion of Kouji Matsubara's HEAT WAVE. Yet, it is forced to retreat across the muddy field once Xenon Antheil joins with her IRON JUGULIS. The combined flames are too much—and as the defenses begin to peel away, Belial Stone's HARPOON GUN is shot. The HARPOON latches onto the shield— but after Cillian Quinn narrowly evades the avalanche with his haste within his SHADOW MIASMA, the MAGIC ROOM his SHADOW DELPHOX has conjured promptly disarms it.[break][break]
The ZAMAZENTA'S RUSTED SHIELD is not disarmed by this field, but its constitution is indeed weakened by it thanks to the previous work of CHIEN-PAO & ROCKET'S ATTACKS. It allows Gerald Kaiser and his IRON MOTH to cast a FIERY DANCE around the growling canine, forcing more of its shield to melt and chip.[break][break]
 However, Julia Davis's LAPRAS MEGA EVOLVES to stop the Underboss. A WATER PULSE bursts toward the SHADOW DELPHOX, distracting it enough to hinder its spell.[break][break]
Nevertheless, the burned ZAMAZENTA is unable to flee. After Belial Stone's HISUIAN SAMUROTT lands a stunning blow, forcing John Sullivan's SCALES to scatter, Zev Harcourt descends like a hellion on his CHARIZARD. A powerful FLAMETHROWER befitting a Rocket Beast's strength engulfs the ZAMAZENTA—and tears its mounted shield off its frame.[break][break]
Before the canine can retrieve its shield, Elisabeth Fiorelli's WO-CHIEN emerges with its spiteful airs. A cataclysmic malice engulfs the ZAMAZENTA when the snail uses RUINATION, forcing a pained howl to leave the dog. The ZAMAZENTA can stand no longer. Without its shield, it falls to the ground.[break][break]
Without its shield, the ZAMAZENTA'S FORM shifts. On the ground where the golden shield should be, is a black, obsidian bulwark instead. MARISOL SIMONE's CERULEDGE'S ALLY SWITCH finally works, bringing the ZAMAZENTA closer to her location. Though, such a triumph would be short-lived...[break][break]
In the mayhem, only Alba Evovae and Aurelie Lefevre are able to grasp the tiny black particulate shed from the ZAMAZENTA'S SHIELD. They are defunct pieces of obsidian-like material; however, should these fragments come near Zev Harcourt, his body would absorb them.[break][break]
Curiously, after all, Zev Harcourt would feel an affinity for the shield and it's fragmenting material—for it is the same material that resides within him.[break][break]
Although Genevieve Cromwell's FLORGES conjures a WISH for the dog, the healing may come too late... But its priorities may shift. For Hitoshi Inoue attempts to use BITTER BLADE to strike her down—and indeed, due to the chaos of the avalanche and the surrounding Pokemon, she may be forced to have her FLORGES take the hit for her.
CHIEN-PAO
OTHERS FOCUS ON THE CHIEN-PAO. The snarling feline of ice seems empowered by the welling hatred that surrounds it. Although the CHIEN-PAO desires to enter the ANCIENT TOMB—it does not mind a secondary prize: the shield the ZAMAZENTA bears.[break][break]
Brynnhildr Erling's LUNATONE manages to push force a hole through an incoming wave—but the avalanche over takes the Pokemon and its trainer. A PYRO BALL from Lucas Holden's CINDERACE courses straight through, however. Rhydia Ver expands the cavity. Her NIDOKING EARTH POWERS, a violent pillar of stone carving out space for projectiles.[break][break]
The attack strikes the CHIEN-PAO, but as it hisses the assault continues. Isaac Merlo takes advantage of the hole forced by Brynnhildr Erling and Lucas Holden, his LUCARIO firing an AURA SPHERE through it. Above, ana fell on her IRON JUGULIS fires a trifecta of beams, a TRI-ATTACK spiraling out from her paradoxical abomination's heads. However, the relentless ice hinders her. As the AURA SPHERE strikes, Leonidas Stone manages to dive swiftly with his TALONFLAME. The fiery bird manages a nasty strike, diving in and out like a fiery scythe.[break][break]
 Josh Devlin rides in on his MANECTRIC swiftly. As he and his mount QUICK ATTACK around to distract the CHIEN-PAO from attacking the ZAMAZENTA further, jayden cross's dives down in his ROARING MOON. The EARTHQUAKE it uses rips the earth apart— separating the two Pokemon with fissure and razed ground.[break][break]
 Behind him, fern delaney's DRAGAPULT unleashes a brutal DRACO METEOR. As the attack lands, it exposes more of the earth below. The ANCIENT TOMB happens to be more extensive than originally thought. Below, obstructed by much distance and rubble, an odd artifact that glows an ominous magenta can be seen...[break][break]
And the CHIEN-PAO sees it too. [break][break]
However, the Ruinous Pokemon is suddenly drenched in smoke. KING WAYLAND and BARNABY FINCH's CHARIZARDS unleash a thick plume of SMOKESCREEN. It shrouds the CHIEN-PAO—and those nearby. Wisps of smoke are torn apart by Josh Devlin and his MANECTRIC, but the smoke is unrelenting.[break][break]
Caleb Harcourt and his URSHIFU are struck by the spiteful snow—but the bear is able to strike a massive chunk back. However, as the snow is hurled toward where the CHIEN-PAO once was, the smoke makes it unclear whether the attack had connected or not. Hideo Kino does not encounter this same problem. His MAGEARNA unleashes a concentrated beam of pink from its center—and as it pierces the smoke, a cry from the CHIEN-PAO announces the attack's success.
THE RUSTED SHIELD
 IN THE AIR, freya morningstar and her reliable SALAMENCE, both who yearn for their old Sootopolan home, unleashes searing flames toward the CHIEN-PAO in the smoke. The flame illuminates the slender form of the creature as it skirts about in the plume.[break][break]
Eva Morales joins her in the air with RAYQUAZA. Demanding a stop to the conflict, the dragons' FLAMES melt the AVALANCHE. Every frigid snow bank begins to melt, drenching the broken ground and freeing those once stuck.[break][break]
Wary of the reappearance of the DRK TRIAD, kyle lopez orders his SMEARGLE to use IMPRISON. His keen eye has noticed that the CHIEN-PAO has been eyeing the tomb and so, he encourages MATIAS SILPH to secure the perimeter. As GROUDON'S AVATAR summons a DESOLATE LAND, the muddy earth is immediately dried into crust. His CHARIZARD roars, as it unleashes a Z-MOVE HURRIFERNO. A vortex of flames surges around the CHIEN-PAO, preventing it from accessing the exposed chasm—or the ANCIENT TOMB.[break][break]
The smoke dissipates from MATIAS SILPH's maneuver, revealing a snarling, hissing CHIEN-PAO.. The feline matches eyes with Elisabeth Fiorelli's WO-CHIEN: a feigned antagonism. A part of the script.[break][break]
Faced with no other option, the CHIEN-PAO channels its own RUINATION upon the broken RUSTED SHIELD. Using the same ancient magicks that cursed a sword into ruinous being, it imbues the black RUSTED SHIELD with its own power.[break][break]
Before anyone can react, the shield pulses with power. Everyone's heart beats back in response, and with a dreadful vertigo, every trainer and their Pokemon is siphoned into the RUSTED SHIELD itself, including the injured ZAMAZENTA.[break][break]
THE CROWN TUNDRA
EVERYONE COMES TO, they find themselves in a frozen hilly landscape. Snow falls on barren trees. Ancient ruins stand around them, dilapidated yet regal in make. Those who know THE GALAR REGION would understand this location to be the CROWN TUNDRA... but considering the circumstances of their arrival, is this truly the real Galar?[break][break]
The region feels heavy with decay. After all, the region had faced an attack from NECROZMA months ago. The trees, the earth, the skies... all feel laden with the ichor of resentment and degradation. This is a dystopian world with little life, save for the lucky few.[break][break]
There is no sign of the ZAMAZENTA or the CHIEN-PAO. [break][break]
Up a frozen slope, a worn entrance lies in wait. Behind it, a grand barren tree stands tall- though its branches are withered and gloomy at their ends. Entering through it reveals an icy courtyard. In its center, a wooden statue stands tall depicting an unknown figure riding what appears to be a GLASTRIER.[break][break]
Before it, an old wooden trough lies low and empty, save for some ice and snow.

SERGEI ARRIVES AT THE SCENE WITH HIS CYCLIZAR AS HIS RIDE, the dragon shivering in sheer cold as the avalanche cascades from the piercing noises of clashing weapons. He heard about the rumors of legendary canines hailing from Galar arriving in Hoenn, but did not actually believe for it to be true.
