THOSE ENSNARED BY TAINTED NIHILEGO & THEIR ALIEN HANDLERS attempt to reorient themselves to their new surroundings. Dizzied, smeared with mud, and filmy swamp water, the kidnapped attempt to make sense of their situation.[break][break]
Though aaron faust may conclude their Megalopolan captors to be aliens rather than zombies, something about the way in which they behave suggests zombie-like behavior. They do not seem altogether "there"; rather, an outside instinct or desire seems to compel them to act, as if a Poliwag is squirming around in their brains to direct them.[break][break]
When Lulu Flint drops the name of a Megalopolan General, VELMOS, several of their captors turn to her, snarling. Their sharp fangs serrate their distaste: "THAT DOUBLE-DEALER. DULL-TOOTHED TRAITOR! ALL WE DESIRE IS HOME AND THE TURNCOAT DELAYS THE RETURN."[break][break]
The MAGENTA-MARKED NIHILEGO & THEIR ODD CHAIN-LIKE TENTACLES begin to constrict around the captives. "IT WILL TAKE EFFECT SOON." The party hears their kidnappers hint at their plans through slithering tongues: "THIS WILL BE ENOUGH FOOD FOR US FOR THE JOURNEY HOME."[break][break]
Other "appetites" are more fueled by the need to survive. Kazimir Wynter and NIKOLA SAMSA BITE DOWN on the MAGNETA TENTACLES coiling around them. Their NINETALES and UMBREON join them in their plight, causing their captors and surrounding Ultra Beasts to recoil and retaliate. However, a puff of PURPLE SMOKE bursts from the bite. Unbeknownst to them, whatever is SETTLING WITHIN THEIR SYSTEMS ALREADY WILL BEGIN TO INTENSIFY...[break][break]
Others find themselves utterly terrified. DESIREE BLOOMS's singer-lungs allow her to release a gut-wrenching scream. The Megalopolans attempt to shut her up with a Nihilego tentacle over her mouth as Genevieve Cromwell squirms in her bindings. And although Genevieve Cromwell has suffered much, lost much, she fights to preserve hope for her and her companions.
TAMING THE BLOODMOON
BEFORE THEIR PURSUIT, THE BLOODMOON URSALUNA greets the more fortunate with a weary stare. Before its fight-or-flight kicks in once again, Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki's GENGAR helps sedate it some. Honey, snacks and healing provided by Vanilla Kingsley, Thomas Benoit, Xiura Balfaltin, El Sunderland and Yuina Higashi are met with a calmer "growrro?" from the bear.[break][break]
In the process, Yuina Higashi's HISUIAN SAMUROTT captures a similar scent from the BLOODMOON URSALUNA. The smell of a SPACE-TIME DISTORTION.[break][break]
Placated by sweets and loving attention, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA offers smelly licks toward each of its caretakers. It is clear that this bear is not necessarily "wild". Instead, it seems more comfortable with humans than one would initially expect.[break][break]
The BLOODMOON URSALUNA raises its snout toward the swamp waters. Sniffing for the missing, it dives in for others to follow.[break][break]
The dive is a cold rush. While some are able to avoid being drenched like jack wainwright and his MISMAGIUS by way of PHANTOM FORCE, others brave the murky waters. Noel Parker's GOODRA continues to PROTECT its trainer and those who swim alongside it, pushing away knotted swamp plants or nosy wild Pokemon.[break][break]
In the meantime, howard slayte attempts to study the GIGATON BALL. He discovers the following:
RESCUE AS THE KIDNAPPED STRUGGLE, the Megalopolans and their NIHILEGO begin to realize their captives are less than compliant. They speak of transfer. Of transfer to the "THE QUAESTOR LUCIS II."[break][break]
However, before their motions could be completed, the pool in which they came from surges. The BLOODMOON URSALUNA emerges alongside the rest of the party.[break][break]
Immediately, the chaos is taken advantage of. Adrian Malcolm's GYARADOS emerges to INTIMIDATE the aliens and their beasts, while Victoria Beckett's PHIONE's ACID ARMOR works its magic to free them, the MAGENTA TENTACLE MELTING IN PART. In doing so, it also expresses a terrible PURPLE SMOKE unto Victoria Beckett.[break][break]
aaron faust's XATU frees its owner with a PSYCHIC, while @elliot's TOXAPEX though weakened, manages to keep itself and its owner safe. The TERA CRYSTALS that he sees are indeed an odd sight to be had underneath the swamp; however, Eris Halla knows that they can be an advantage. Her COMFEY TERASTALLIZES FOR FREE, its TERA BLAST smashing into the horde with a dazzling shower of pink glitter. To aid Eris Halla and to protect poor Genevieve Cromwell, Isaac Merlo's GOLISOPOD fires PIN MISSILES toward their captors. Several needles strike the PAPERS ON THE WALL: all missing persons posters.[break][break]
As the rescuers rush in, a pitch-black shockwave emanates from Ambrose Hendrix's ZOROARK to free it and its trainer from their tentacled restraints. Similarly, a ghostly rush from luka chêne and her SPECTRIER grants them freedom in the dank cave.[break][break]
Aubre McKenna-Settentrione bites down on a Megalopolan captor's hand. As they howl in pain, her ORICORIO repeats Rowan Wrynn's LUDICOLO'S TEETER DANCE. Their dual dance CONFUSES the whole crowd of enemies (Rowan Wrynn'S SALAC DIFFERENCE), as Tempest Quinn takes the opportunity to ALLY SWITCH with Lulu Flint. He repositions himself with FARIGIRAF as Lulu Flint and her PROTECTING GENESECT are swapped with them. A hard crack sounds from a Megalopolan's jaw as Tempest Quinn breaks it with his fist.[break][break]
As the Megalopolans and Nihilego stagger about, El Sunderland's KUBFU joins Yuina Higashi's HISUIAN SAMUROTT. A metal gleam shines alongside a WATER-TYPE TERASTALLIZED HISUIAN SAMUROTT. An IRON HEAD & SHARPENED RAZOR SHELL cut through the crowds. Grigori Sokolov's KINGAMBIT does the same, its LEADER'S CREST bisecting their attackers with ruthless ease. More bodies are cut into as ryker hayes's GALLADE weaves in and out with PSYCHO CUTS, its sharp arms glowing with psychic energy.[break][break]
At the same time, Cadeyrn Osmond and his CHARIZARD reunite with Elise Calcifet in a furious flare of an INFERNO. Camellia Lemaitre protects Victoria Beckett from other tentacles too. Her SIGILIYPH staves off tentacles with PSYCHIC, while Aidan Hereford's METAGROSS ZEN HEADBUTTS its way out of a confused Ultra Beast's grasp. Similarly, Oliver Shrakes's BRELOOM is released, furthering discombobulating a nearby beast with a SKY UPPERCUT that sends it flying.[break][break]
Aurelie Lefevre frees herself with her knife. As blood spurts from the severed tentacle, she is quick to stab a Megalopolan captor who attempts to obstruct her in midst the chaos. Nearby, Alba Evovae's DITTO-BLOODMOON URSALUNA summons the power of the Blood Moon. A red sphere emerges, scarved in ominous clouds. A crimson beam slams into an encroaching NIHILEGO—but it is Neffatari Nzingha's LUNATONE and its MOONBLAST that proves to be the most potent lunar attack.[break][break]
The FAIRY-TYPE ATTACK slams into a crowd of Megalopolans, erupting in a powerful, quaking explosion of pink. This attack is pivotal for Shred and howard slayte to perform their coin choreography. howard slayte's CLAYDOL begins to SPIN, its eyes swirling into an arc of red as Chester C. Coins, the GHOLDENGO MAKES IT RAIN. Like bullets, the coins clang and scatter as they strike off the spinning CLAYDOL.[break][break]
DESIREE BLOOMS's TSAREENA frees its trainer with a RAPID SPIN, knocking nearby Megalopolans back—and protecting partially, its trainer from the ricocheting coins. nagi miwa is pelted too as his DRAGONITE DRAGON TAILS several alien captors into the bullet hell of coins.[break][break]
El Sunderland's overturned table slams into a Megalopolan; however, the coins smash against its metal and ricochet into the same captor, the coins tearing through its body from the multiplied speed.[break][break]
The RESTING BLOODMOON URSALUNA is protected by Thomas Benoit and DEREK HOFFMAN; a WIDE GUARD & LIGHT SCREEN prevent the Bloodmoon Beast from incurring much friendly fire. However, Lulu Flint's GENESECT and Elise Calcifet's MISMAGIUS deflect a good portion of the onslaught of currency due to PROTECT & PSYCHIC, but there are far too many to properly defend against.[break][break]
COIN CHAOS:
THE AFOREMENTIONED TRAINERS and/or their Pokemon are struck by high-speed coins. If your character has been listed, you have two choices:[break][break]
- 1. Knock out a Pokemon (doesn't have to be your active one; can be one that popped out of a pokeball to protect or was switched out.
[break]
- OR 2. Take DISADVANTAGE (roll two times and take the lower roll/take the lowest roll if salacing) in the next round.
Coins twang and ring as they strike workbenches, mud, flesh and tentacle. When the GHOLDENGO & CLAYDOL STOP, everyone is surrounded by a morbid littering of slain Megalopolan and Nihilego. For a moment, silence falls... before it broken by a yawn from the BLOODMOON URSALUNA waking up.[break][break]
Despite the carnage, it is clear that the coins were instrumental in speeding up the conclusion of this fight... After all, DEREK HOFFMAN's warnings of reinforcements prevents the group from swimming back out from whence they came.
ONWARD
THE BLOODMOON URSALUNA BEGINS TO TROD FORTH. It sniffs the ground, having caught a scent deep within the cave.[break][break]
Suddenly, around them, the NIHILEGO suddenly burst into glittering light reminiscent of the kind glowing from the nearby TERA CRYSTALS. Their remains are nowhere to be seen afterward...[break][break]
The cave splits into two paths. Down PATH ONE one can see a campfire-like light flickering at its end. However, going through this path means wading through swamp water that is at least chest deep.[break][break]
Down PATH TWO, there is no light. However, there is little swamp water to wade through. Instead, there is plenty of vegetation. Plants grow on the ground and on the walls.[break][break]
For now, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA will follow Thomas Benoit (SALAC DIFFERENCE) into the path he chooses. However, do note, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA WILL NOW BE AT RISK OF DYING FROM THIS POINT ONWARD.
