ROCKET CANONS

ONE STEP CLOSER[break]TO RUINATION

THE CAVE OF ORIGIN QUAKES WITH THE THROES OF WAR. As Team Rocket clashes with manifestations of their hatred, the resulting ruckus causes diamonds of light to scatter from the tera crystals encrusting the cave.[break][break]

Should Team Rocket's strikes make purchase, the conjured manifestations bleed. Viscera and bone squelch and clatter on the cave floor; such sounds are startling confirmation that these beings are indeed real. Some of these emblems of hatred may fall or fade, but they have accomplished their purpose: to conjure hatred within the hearts of those present.[break][break]

Some attempt to target the CHIEN-PAO itself. However, when their Pokemon rush toward the recovering feline, the manifestations attempt to block them. More manifestations swirl from the hostile energy of the creature. Twisted, disfigured humans with armors and swords stand to take the blows. It is clear that these humans are warriors of old.[break][break]

Some of them are torn apart by TERA BLASTS & FLASH CANNONS, while others are ravaged by FLAMES & FEATHERS. However, Grigori Sokolov's SWORDS DANCING SCIZOR manages to clear the remaining warriors, its claws dripping with the filth of its kills. While Cillian Quinn and THEO BECKETT attempt to ENSNARE THE CHIEN-PAO, the building HATRED from the party grants it an incredible boon. It is not trapped for long, but it grants Zev Harcourt's TYPE: NULL space to HEAL BLOCK; however, it is not a perfect nullification by any means.[break][break]

The CHIEN-PAO snarls as HURRICANE & SPRING WINDS surge around it. Through the cutting gales, the creature makes eye-contact with Elisabeth Fiorelli's WO-CHIEN... Discreetly, the snail's ability to conjure GRUDGES is exercised to fuel the HATRED the feline requires.[break][break]

Suddenly, any remaining manifestations disappear into the ether. The assembled hatred returns to CHIEN-PAO like a red tide. It senses its target: a man who is plagued by thoughts of weakness. A man disparaged by an Elite Four and Rocket defectors. The man who let Ashley Shepard go.[break][break]

The CHIEN-PAO breaks away from vine and anchor, lunging past the wriggling alien and the mega-evolved GRIMMSNARL. It pounces upon jayden cross and sinks its fangs into him. Not too deep for it to be fatal, but deep enough to inject the gathered HATE directly into the Admin's veins.[break][break]

[attr="class","chosen"]YOU ARE BECKONED

[attr="class","chosen2"]
chien-pao has chosen jayden cross, the cursed, as their avatar.[break][break]

jayden receives the following perks:

[break]

• jayden receives 10 infamy.
[break]


• jayden and his Pokemon are immune to the FREEZE condition and have resistance to extreme cold.
[break]


• jayden can conjure a cold or snowstorm that exudes an aura of hatred. targets caught within its radius are CONFUSED AND/OR BERSERK. the BERSERK status condition causes targets to attack randomly, which can include their own allies.[break][break]
  
  through touch or aura, he can instill feelings of hatred in others in order to fuel himself. this effect, however, is temporary. (REQ: RPER PERMISSION)
[break]


• jayden is able to temporarily conjure the flying swords of warriors that fallen in war. using these swords may cause him to inflict damage upon himself over time.
[break]


• jayden can conjure ICE, including constructs made out of ice. these can include weapons, ice shards, ice sheets, etc.
[break]


• you may add chien-pao to your personal computer and choose its moves like a gachapon pokemon.

FROST CRAWLS UP jayden cross'S LIMBS as the CHIEN-PAO curses the human it can manipulate the most... with its blessing. On the CHIEN-PAO'S BEHEST, the Admin grows hostile to the rest of his peers.

PROMPT

jayden cross's player can now ATTACK the rest of Team Rocket until he is subdued by the next mod post. He can use CHIEN-PAO and his newfound powers.[break][break]

Thankfully, this hostility will be temporary. Furthermore, jayden cross's inexperience with his powers and Zev Harcourt's HEAL BLOCK will cause him to perform less optimally.

The Rocket Boss finally manages to summon his Darkrai. The umbral specter emerges, its claw raised to cast a DARK VOID; however, the CHIEN-PAO is too fast to catch. Similarly, to use it on jayden cross this early may cost precious intel... should the powers not last.[break][break]

"do not hesitate to take admin cross down." The Boss says. "right now, it's you or him!"[break][break]

mint frost's recording would capture the deranged scenario: Marza Volchitsa fighting herself, the slain Amor Rose copy, the false Arceus... and A CURIOUS BOOK dislodged from dripping ice thanks to Naomi Sato and Elisabeth Fiorelli's FIRE-TYPE TERA BLASTS... Which begs the question, how did a tome find itself here?
