RUSTED SWORD  [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] ARRIVAL
THE TING-LU KEEPS ITS HEAVY HEAD RAISED. Like a never-ending death knell, the bowl on its telluric head continues to ring.[break][break]
In defiance of this foreboding sound, many attempt to silence it's macabre melody. aaron faust's FERALIGATR and Thomas Benoit's HYDREIGON fire a HYDRO PUMP toward the TING-LU.[break][break]
When the water strikes, the moose does not stir—but the grasses around its hooves muddy from the sediment disturbed on its body. A WHIRLPOOL formed by Rowan Wrynn's IRON BUNDLE disturbs the terrain further, slick mud tossed about as the TING-LU channels and channels and channels.[break][break]
However, it seems as if the TING-LU is strengthened by the FEAR manifesting in the hearts of those nearby. When skyler dross attempts to DISABLE the creature with her GALARIAN SLOWBRO, the move fails; however, she is rewarded with the malevolent red glint of a horrible red eye.[break][break]
It lows and motions towards skyler dross—and while the ZACIAN is unable to stop the TING-LU thanks to the interference of other trainers—angelo vestri's LATIAS, from its invisible weave, uses TELEKINESIS to hold it back.[break][break]
The TING-LU lifts a heavy hoof from the muddy terrain and struggles to turn itself to face a larger swathe of trainers thanks to the TELEKINESIS. Held in place, others take advantage of this briefest of distractions.[break][break]
Gwyar Wledig lunges forth with his AEGISLASH'S SACRED SWORD. However, it strikes the heavy vessel in a sparking clash of steel. Once again, the bowl rings. Johanna Joy's CLAYDOL and Elise Calcifet's CERULEDGE strike too. Their HYPER BEAM & SOLAR BLADE strike with blinding light, and once again the bowl rings. Rings. Rings.[break][break]
By Elise Calcifet, Vanilla Kingsley commands her ALTARIA to use a DRAGON BREATH. As the fire billows out from the dragon's beak, she attempts to scan the two Pokemon with her ROTOMDEX—but no information can be gleamed by the frowning roto-face.[break][break]
 mikael rosenberg and maverick noah ryder strike together. A HOUNDOOM summons an unusual cyclone of spring, while a wave of UMBREON'S DARK PULSE casts across the cervid. From above, a LIGHT OF RUIN descends from DEREK HOFFMAN's METAGROSS. The beam collides with the vessel, causing it to reverbate with a foreboding timbre.[break][break]
Despite everyone's attacks, the dread rises within everyone. It's an escalating fear that courses in the blood, bores through the bones. As long as one hears it, one can not escape its sensation. While Biscotti Kingsley attempts to avoid it, he may realize flight may be futile.[break][break]
 In the air, Shalin Nariya attempts to distract the TING-LU with her FLYGON. Its wings flutter rapidly as the dragon darts about, providing time for athena oswald's STOUTLAND to bite into the creature's leg with ICE FANG. Ice crusts around an earthen limb, but it is subsequently melted away by a powerful FLAMETHROWER from Summer Atreides's EMBOAR.[break][break]
Again, the TING-LU remains stalwart. Fear pangs and swims in the relentless resonance. Aidan Hereford's SCIZOR attempts an X-SCISSOR through the frigid wind of THEO BECKETT's MILOTIC'S BLIZZARD. A ROCK SLIDE from Alexei Ivanov's BRAVIARY impedes the TING-LU'S movement further—but it barely shifts in its place.[break][break]
Through gaps provided in the fallen stones, the TING-LU glares at PENELOPE LIVY's CHI-YU. In that fiery instant, the Ruinous Pokemon feigns hostility. They split the stage as acrimonious actors, but it is all smoke and mirrors. After all, they came from the same sealed dressing rooms. An ICE BEAM strikes the TING-LU from paxton concordas's OCTILLERY as he stands guard over the Councilwoman.[break][break]
illeana reyes's VENUSAUR takes advantage of the remnants of TAPU LELE'S POWER. A TERRAIN PULSE crashes against the beast, as Selena Desmarais rushes forth. Her UMBREON proves to be an awkward and slower mount than expected despite TRAILBLAZE'S momentum. A splash of GRASS-TYPE energy strikes the immovable TING-LU through a gap in Alexei Ivanov's ROCK SLIDE.
FRAGMENTS
THE BLACK PARTICULATE is small and tough to gather. However, curiosity gets the better of some and in the pursuit of knowledge, many attempt to scrounge some slivers of black.[break][break]
Greyson Connors's VESPIQUEN unleashes a few grubs to grasp some BLACK FRAGMENTS. However, Katherine Fairburne's MIMIKYU manages to throw a gust toward him and his Pokemon to PREVENT him and his Pokemon from acquiring a sample, for she believes there are higher responsibilities.[break][break]
 In an attempt to slow those from reaching the ANCIENT TOMB, Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki's ARIADOS spews a STICKY WEBBING across the field. While Shred's ADVANCE IS HINDERED, the officer manages to take advantage of the ELITE FOURS' duties and grabs some black grains for her own before Cain Toman's COURT CHANGE removes the webbing. Similarly, SHEBA INOUE's SAFEGUARD dissipates from the ZACIAN and shimmers before him instead.[break][break]
With the SAFEGUARD shifted, THEO BECKETT's MILOTIC'S BLIZZARD strikes the aggressive ZACIAN, the sword it wields between its fangs whittling away. In the chaos, Ashley Shepard manages to seize the advantage. With his NIDOKING summoned, a sneaking strike of EARTH POWER slams into the already weakened canine, forcing it to its front legs as the TING-LU bellows.[break][break]
Eris Halla's WOOPER opens its maw. A cold ICE BEAM strikes Ashley Shepard's NIDOKING, forcing ice to crawl up its spiked back. kepler brueshaber's GYARADOS swings in onto the smaller Pokemon, an ICE FANG striking the WOOPER before kepler brueshaber leaps to tackle the young girl. Before kepler brueshaber can reach her, however, Raziel Beckett's MEOWSTIC summons a pink gale. A SPRINGTIDE STORM batters Ashley Shepard's NIDOKING, kepler brueshaber's GYARADOS, and forces kepler brueshaber away from the girl with a strong gust.[break][break]
Ruby Garcia witnesses the burgeoning conflict—but redirects her attention to the former Elite Four on battle. While Kazimir Wynter attempts to keep the ZACIAN and TING-LU from clashing further with his LUCARIO, his Pokemon is struck hard by the Rocket's SLITHER WING, forcing the Aura Pokemon back.[break][break]
 Entering the fray, priam conrad's ESPEON uses PAY DAY. A brutal scattering of coins clashes against the ZACIAN & TING-LU, the effect more apparent on the former. The blue-haired Rocket manages to GATHER 25 PD from the success of his Pokemon's strike: a pretty penny during the pandemonium. Who says one can't make bank in bedlam?[break][break]
Others attempt to HEAL THE ZACIAN'S WOUNDS. Navy's BLISSEY bestows a HEAL PULSE on the weathered dog, its blue fur fluttering as vigor attempts to return. When Callan Young's UMBREON WISHES, Adelaide Whiteley's RALTS joins Navy's BLISSEY WITH A HEAL PULSE OF ITS OWN. The canine slowly lifts itself from the ground... as the HOWL from Ettie's LYCANROC raises the morale of those who can hear it.
DEFENSE & TOMBS
 MANY ATTEMPT TO REACH THE TOMB. Before FERNANDO SILPH can seal the tomb with his GYARADOS, Remiel Calcifet manages to bolt (literally) towards the cave's entrance. In the minute glance he is able to steal, he can see a piercing, pulsing magenta light deep within the cavern. It is clear that the tomb itself has been disturbed— whether it is due to the CHIEN-PAO & ZAMAZENTA'S struggle nearby, or the TING-LU'S affinity with the earth is uncertain... francie myrtle eventually joins him by the TAILWIND of Remiel Calcifet's ROARING MOON, the broad wings of her AERODACTYL flapping loudly above.[break][break]
Similar to Shred, Serena Malcolm attempts to rush toward the tomb too. Her SHADOW MIME JR. casts PROTECT as she sees Remiel Calcifet ahead. Nearby, parker jones's BLAZIKEN bursts ahead in a stunning arrow of flame. While Naomi Sato attempts to rush too, she senses the inevitable danger. A SYLVEON'S LIGHT SCREEN is forged for the pugilist...[break][break]
Brynnhildr Erling attempts to advance as she steels herself. However, before she can reach the entrance or enter the tomb like anyone else, FERNANDO SILPH's GYARADOS lands despite the fear digging in between its scales. A precise STONE EDGE is aimed at the tomb's entrance, stuffing it with sharp, calculated boulders to seal it closed. For temptation lies behind in its caverns. Temptation that the LEAGUE will soon discover has connection to the pulsing organs of ULTRA DEEP SEA.[break][break]
THE TING-LU FINALLY RELEASES ITS GATHERED ENERGY. From its perverse bowl, a deep bass tolls. The sound tethers to each soul. Each heart that can hear it. Immediately, everyone is thrust to the earth. Whether from standing or from the air, Pokemon and Trainer find themselves drawn to ground as if being drawn to hell itself.[break][break]
 The plummet into the earth feels like fear itself barreling down on one's shoulders. Like a stone Bodhisattva crushing one's back. The LIGHT SCREEN allows parker jones some comfort as she's forced to the earth. GIDEON GRAVES's GREAT TUSK and its PROTECT briefly allows a moment of breath for its trainer, skyler dross and angelo vestri before they're tossed downward too. Similarly, Melody Miro's SMEARGLE endures the initial pang of fright thanks to its TAKE HEART.[break][break]
Gunner Graves's IRON VALIANT and its regal WIDE GUARD grants its trainer, PENELOPE LIVY and paxton concordas some relief against the harrowing horror that surrounds and spears them. Similarly, Megan Whitmore's SWAMPERT prepares a WIDE GUARD that links with Gunner Graves's IRON VALIANT'S, but eventually, all are forced to the ground.[break][break]
While ollie morales's TOGEKISS attempts to attack the TING-LU, its METRONOME weaves a DEFENSIVE MANEUVER instead. A SILK TRAP forms before it. A gossamer shield that briefly grants ollie morales and TOGEKISS some comfort before they too are pushed toward the earth beside PENELOPE LIVY, paxton concordas, and Gunner Graves.[break][break]
 blue murtagh and Adrian Malcolm attempt to protect themselves too. The former's LUCARIO attempts to QUICK GUARD, while the latter's UNOWN attempts to HIDDEN POWER what comes. But it is a supernatural knell. They are forced to the ground, chests pinned to the trembling earth.[break][break]
THE ZACIAN STRUGGLES ALONGSIDE EVERYONE. Its SWORD chips and splinters more as the TING-LU'S VESSEL REACHES THE END OF ITS RINGING. Suddenly, EARTH ERUPTS BENEATH TRAINERS AND THEIR POKEMON to encase them in a claustrophobic stone tomb. The pack Ettie is forced away, avoiding the attack and are forced to watch in horror and can not come closer.
However, the ZACIAN is granted healing from Callan Young's UMBREON'S WISH. The delayed heal proves pivotal. As the ZACIAN manages to break free from this dreadful gravity, it swings its radiant sword toward the TING-LU.[break][break]
The TING-LU knows what it must do. After all, it has planned this with its infernal feline friend. Suddenly, the TING-LU directs RUINATION upon the SWORD ZACIAN WIELDS. It shatters the sword immediately, malice crawling up its blade and forcing it to decay. It falls as a black, obsidian hunk and the noble canine shifts form into a weakened shape.[break][break]
Before anyone can react, the sword 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 SWORD itself, including the injured ZACIAN.
WYNDON STADIUM
EVERYONE COMES TO, they find themselves in the middle of a dilapidated sport's stadium. Ash falls upon empty, broken bleachers and dead grass like snow. Those who know THE GALAR REGION would understand this location to be WYNDON STADIUM... 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 field, the air, 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 ZACIAN or the TING-LU. [break][break]
In the center of the sport's field, a wooden statue stands tall depicting an unknown figure riding what appears to be a SPECTRIER.[break][break]
Before it, an old wooden trough lies low and empty, save for some ash and soot.
