GOODBYE GALAR: RUSTED SHIELD
POSTED ON Jun 24, 2023 7:20:54 GMT

RUSTED SHIELD  [attr="class","omgenmid"] ICLY SET EARLY JUNE DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1121701043978387476/battledge.mp3[/player] [break] 🎼 Final Fantasy XVI OST - Battle Theme [break][break] THE 20TH YEAR
FINALLY, THE WINTER SOLSTICE APPROACHES. The ZAMAZENTA STATUE finally breaks apart enough to reveal itself in full detail: a regal looking dog bearing a segmented shield and thick, majestic fur like a legionaries' crest holder.[break][break]
During this time, many continue their work. Research, teaching, training camps, the creation of gas masks and observation of the stars. Medical aid is administered to those injured during defenses, while others like John Sullivan brave death by mapping out the deep... bryan delarosa attempts to glean information from XERNEAS. With its hooves, it intuits that the Galarian soil, despite the receding of poison, is almost irreparably polluted. The first appearance of this poison seems to have come from prehistoric times as well...[break][break]
As the world grows colder, newfound families huddle together for warmth. Armies rise from the inspired townspeople, while knowledge is cultivated and gathered from the stars.[break][break]
More constellations are found by those studying the heavens:
Those who develop and distribute DYNAMAX BANDS practice DYNAMAXING or GIGANTAMAXING their Pokemon in preparation for the final fight. The energy seems to DISTORT SPACE itself, causing Pokemon to change their size and the world around them.
DYNAMAX MECHANIC
PLEASE HEED THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. In this raid, Pokemon are able to DYNAMAX. For the purposes of this raid, the DYNAMAX mechanic will more flexible than what may be implemented on site.[break][break]
🔴 A Pokemon can only be DYNAMAXED/GIGANTAMAXED for a brief period of time.[break][break]
🔴 When dynamaxed, a Pokemon's moves are replaced by their corresponding MAX MOVES.[break][break]
🔴 If the Pokemon is able to GIGANTAMAX, then they will have access to their G-MAX MOVE even if they DO NOT HAVE DAMAGING MOVE OF A CERTAIN TYPE.[break][break]
🔴 A dynamaxed Pokemon can not mega evolve, terastallize, or use z-moves.[break][break]
🔴 Pokemon who dynamax are exponentially larger. They also are stronger and more hardy.
Suddenly, the whole region hears an apocalyptic knell. The skies run red. Crimson clouds choke out the sun. In the far south, near POSTWICK, every kingdom will be able to see a blinding pillar of magenta light erupt into the heavens. A horrid creature emerges from the earth there.[break][break]
The dark violet dragon soars into the sky, its serpentine body rolling like a flexible spinal column. Thin, spindly claws and ribs protect a core of pulsing energy. Tendrils sway behind its back as it carves its path, while its diamond-shaped teeth are bared for a ear-splitting roar. The townspeople are quick to declare its mythologized name: The Skeleton.[break][break]
The Black Knight is quick to chase after it. Clad in shiny black metals, it entangles itself with the dragon in the air. Their violent union is scorched with radiant, prismatic lights and searing beams. Their battle is almost sensual. The Black Knight strikes with its obsidian claws with bloodthirsty vengeance, while The Skeleton seems to be taunting it, allowing its opponent to make purchase with some of its attacks. With every strike, bright particles rain down from its body... it's as if The Skeleton is wanting to be milked of its innate force.[break][break]
The purple-pink clouds above intensify there and at "home". Suddenly, each ZAMAZENTA STATUE breaks open with a LOUD HOWL. The stone reveals an ILLUSORY FORM of the Hero Dog. The dog stands majestically on all fours, its determined gaze aimed for the south. Despite the scars on its body, it remains a stalwart symbol of heroism. The body is translucent. Ethereal. Like a spirit, the ZAMAZENTA'S BODY can be seen illuminating the darkening realm.[break][break]
The Dog beckons for every king and queen. Every trainer and their Pokemon. The armies of townspeople. Some time is given for those needing to say farewell to their children. After all, who knows if they will be back... and should they be successful, if the CALYREX is to be believed, would they truly be returning back to the kingdoms they have called home for the past twenty years?[break][break]
The time comes. With a hair-raising howl, the ILLUSORY ZAMAZENTA begins to run. Behind it, the Hero Dog leaves an ethereal trail that hastens the gait and flying speed of everyone behind it. The armies of BALLONLEA, CIRCHESTER, HAMMERLOCKE & MOTOSTOKE begin to join together. They traverse the WILD AREA and eventually find themselves on the outskirts of WEDGEHURST where EVERY ILLUSORY ZAMAZENTA HALTS.
INTO THE FRAY
THE ILLUSORY ZAMAZENTA AWAIT THE ORDERS OF EACH KINGDOM'S ROYALTY. Only on their command will they assist with leading the charge, for on the slope that they stand on, everyone would be able to see where ALL THE POISON HAD GONE.[break][break]
The Skeleton had drawn all the SLUDGE to create an anticipatory army of their own. It is an endless warm of malice. Pokemon made out of poison sludge and armored with the scattered debris cut from the THE BLACK KNIGHT'S body await them. GALARIAN SLOWKING & SLOWBRO act as generals; however, more horrifying are the GIGANTAMAX POKEMON positioned furthest away.[break][break]
[break][break]
A GIGANTAMAX INTELEON, RILLABOOM, AND CINDERACE prepare themselves to strike from afar. Whether it be through meteors of flame, bursts of back-breaking vines, or bullets of sharp brine, reaching these Pokemon will be a harrowing trial—if people can survive. To further complicate matters, TRAINERS WHO HAVE STUDIED THE DEEP & ITS ORGAN OR DYNAMAX/DYNITE ORE/MAX MUSHROOMS will notice that each GIGANTAMAX LEADER HAS THREE BARRIERS OF DYNAMAX ENERGY protecting them.
Luckily, the falling DYNAMAX PARTICLES allow anyone to DYNAMAX their Pokemon on this battlefield once called WEDGEHURST. It is clear to each trainer... In order to reach the NECROZMA & ETERNATUS, the armies of each kingdom must prevail against noxious horde.
On the royalty's command, the armies descend.
