ONGOING EVENT
EXPLORATION



DESERT RUINS[break]→ ULTRA PLANT



[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1055328024813371442/showdown.mp3[/player][break]
Power Showdown! | Pokemon Journeys (2019) VOL 2
[break]

THE ULTRA PLANT IS A DARK WORLD that is wracked by frequent thunderstorms. Lightning spears the desolate canyons and valleys of this world and massive cord-like structures bridge the gaps. Whenever lightning strikes, lights attached to these cords light up too. In the horizon, large Xurkitree can be seen, dwarfing the area you arrive in...[break][break]

Several abandoned power stations can be found throughout the area, but they seem to be deactivated...


PROMPTS



LIST OF PROMPTS




[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • 29 clear the xurkitree wiring in the crashed spacecraft, though the party will find they are active, dangerous and "alive". doing so will allow the party to explore the ship and the unfortunate fate of its crew.
  • 39 use unusually low hanging lightning clouds as cover, though using such an endeavor is dangerous.
  • 40 encounter a ZEKROM that seems to have been intentionally let loose into the realm; however, it has decided that this realm has LOST ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS and in doing so, has decided to annihilate it. battle the ZEKROM to prevent it from annihilating you and the realm temporarily.
  • 41 using a repaired megalopolan spacecraft and/or pokemon, discover that the sky is false and has an endpoint. reaching the boundary means hitting an invisible barrier, similar to the invisible dome hoenn had been contained in before.
  • 🗺️ utilize a starter pokemon in an advantageous way.



EXPEDITION TREASURES


AT THE END OF EACH EXPEDITION THREAD, all characters must ROLL for their final post. The HIGHEST FOUR ROLLS will be counted for what TREASURES are retrieved from the location. These treasures will be returned to each faction for future use...

taking notice of movement in his sight, wolfgang whistles for his companions and directs their attention to what seemed to be a vehicle being constricted by live wiring.

"that one doesn't seem broken down." they had ridden another ship before to travel distances, and this wouldn't be any different. "we just need to free it first."

he releases a marowak from one of his pokeballs and instructs it to throw its weapon towards it.

bonemerang hits, and then circles back to their position. it stirs the wiring and its sudden movements loosen up its grip on the ship. however, it doesn't fully release it from its grip without a strong enough move.

"tch."



29 clear the xurkitree wiring in the crashed spacecraft, though the party will find they are active, dangerous and "alive". doing so will allow the party to explore the ship and the unfortunate fate of its crew.

“EXECUTE."

the sound of a familiar command is all it takes to chop away at the wires with sharp ICE SHARDS. the glalie that has served as their vanguard now shoots away at numerous outcroppings. under enough pressure, they fold.

we can take a higher vantage point this time.

now that they have a reliable pilot.

[attr="class","bakermain"]the crashed spacecraft is big enough that his xurkitree is able to move around inside freely. perhaps that should've been the first red flag but he's too busy with their surroundings to realize.

"those clouds look deadly but once we get above them we should be in the clear."

he points up.

"though they seem oddly low in the sky."

as soon as the wirings were dispatched, wolfgang moves to check the exterior. finding nothing wrong, he moves to inside to check on the controls of the ship.

"oi. are we really this lucky? this can't be right."

disbelief riddled his tone as he finds nothing wrong. he comes out to do a double check of the hull, wherein the only problem he finds are indentions and burn marks from the wirings earlier.

he invites the other two in as soon as the preliminary checks gave no immediate problem for them.

"come on. who wants to drive?"

ULTRA PLANT


THE WILDS



“I’LL DRIVE,” fernando asserts, slipping into the pilot seat. a quick glance around looks for some semblance of a seat belt or harness, and flickers the same switches he remembers going over.

ngh!

the ship rumbles under the strained grunts of its starting mechanisms. several xurkitree wires coils across the dashboard, living embodiment of the ship’s many parts, before it thrusts upward and into the sky.

they dart for the clouds, evading stray lightning bolts that prove easier to dodge than a deoxy’s z-move.

approaching,” he warns, pulling back accelerator.

[attr="class","bakermain"]as they approach, they will quickly realize that the sky is nothing more than an illusion, a construct of what seems to be an invisible barrier that stops their ship.

"argh!"

still recovering from the brief impact that has luckily not totalled their ship, he catches a flash of darkness in the near distance.

"something's approaching!"

41 using a repaired megalopolan spacecraft and/or pokemon, discover that the sky is false and has an endpoint. reaching the boundary means hitting an invisible barrier, similar to the invisible dome hoenn had been contained in before.

the collision attempts to throw him off his feet, but his grip on anything that can anchor him down manages to save him from being thrown off.

"huh?! who the fuck decided to-!" he ends with a heavy sigh. "you know what, this should've been expected."

the moment they reach the border should also be the moment that something dangerous approaches them. that's just how the dangerous ultra plant dimension works. there was no time to muse about the world's reality when they have to face something ahead too.

at least being this high up has its advantages

"oi. do you think it won't see us if we park the ship with the thunderclouds up here?"

if it's anything robotic like the stakataka, then the strong static could interfere with their censors. if it's something like xurkitree, then electricity makes good bait for them to take their leave.

39 use unusually low hanging lightning clouds as cover, though using such an endeavor is dangerous.

THE WILDS



“INDEED.”

there is haste in his words as fernando clutches the level to descend. it jerks against the sudden turbulence, emphasizing speed over safety. for whatever looms in the distance seems much more intimidating that whatever the storm can cook up.

the black ZEKROM blends in with the clouds. however, the constant brrr of its flashing blue engine gives it away. it can’t see them due to thick haze but it continues to boom, thunderous and overtly righteous.

wasn’t approved to enter at the same time as us.

[attr="class","bakermain"]hiding behind lightning clouds allows them some level of safety, though even he knows it's fleeting. they can't stay here for long; the hostile environment will not allow it.

"i don't believe that's his. look at the coloring."

he points, index finger tracing along the zekrom's frame.

"'s zekrom is a shade lighter, if memory serves me right."

"shit! it saw us!"

it wouldn't be surprising for a creature of legends to have better perception than them. staying by its midst instead of getting out has compromised their hiding. he wasn't confident enough to fight it, but he knows just enough to buy them a second or two for them to come up with the next step.

he rushes to an opening of the ship. his marowak sticks out its club, intercepting an electric-type attack from the zekrom into it with lightning rod. the power was enough to transcend type matchups, causing the marowak to drop on the ground after neutralizing the move.

"we can't take another strike. hit it with something big and let's get the fuck out!"

a potion is sprayed on the marowak to get it back to its feet, just in case the zekrom fires another bolt of lightning at them. it's a futile attempt, but it wasn't like wolfgang has any other option.

HE SEES NO DIFFERENCE IN THE COLOR PALETTE but trusts his scientist far more than his own eye. in that regard, he understands where he is lacking. or so he’s been told.

baker,” he shouts, throwing two pokeballs behind his shoulder.

there’s only so much he can do while driving but the pokemon he’s freed up should make up for his lack of action economy. to no surprise, his first choice is the protective COMFEY but his second is a well suited flyer: NAGANADEL.

pokemon james should be familiar with due to his connections to their owner.

[attr="class","bakermain"]"on it!"

though not much of a battler, he has been forced to learn the art of it as quickly as he can due to the nature of these expeditions. it's why he's familiar enough with the two pokemon fernando calls out.

"comfey, cover our retreat! naganadel, fire back!"

against incoming attacks, comfey's PROTECT wraps around their vessell, keeping them safe while naganadel's AIR CUTTER keeps the zekrom at bay.

ULTRA PLANT


THE WILDS



FAR FROM THE AERIAL ACES OF HOENN, fernando manages to evade a stray bolt of lightning due to sheer luck. the PROTECTIVE barrier near the tail of the ship manages to buy them time to gain distance. not away from the ZEKROM but rather closer to the wild portal.

hold it off,” he reiterates.

a fitting crash landing should throw them through the portal. the destruction and debris of the ship should overshadow their departure. all they need is to survive that long.

he looks around and sees a few electronics on the ship's floor. a few rewirings and tapes later, he attaches it to his marowak's club.

"i'm replacing this later, bud."

the contraption beeps and blinks. wolfgang urges his marowak to throw it overboard, away from the ship and perpendicular to the zekrom's path. it spins in the air and circles around, catching the legend's attention.

"that's the decoy! let's go! let's go!"

the zekrom fires its lightning at it, and, with the bone acting as a ligtning rod, overloads the small piece of megalopolan technology and results to an explosive distraction.
