EVENT HORIZON

Zev Harcourt's shouts fall on deaf ears—for the pain necrozma harbors is a maddening shrill. through the horrific medium of their crystalline bodies, such eonian agony is channeled into the rocket beast.

if zev were a normal man, he would have succumbed to this psychic excruciation. but he is not. and now, he never will be.

they pass through a warp hole crowned with pink energy; still, they are able to pass. they manage to cross into another universe, and there, past the lip of their fading ultra wormhole, they behold another megalopolan settlement from the heavens.

the vast city's lights are like a heart rate monitor. rhythmically, from towering black pillars, they twinkle and blink with a promising pulse. one that must be snuffed.

the gargantuan necrozma releases zev, but catches him in the grand plain of its obsidian palm.

during their journey, the blinding one has sensed their similarities. they are incomplete. monstrous. no treatment, no cure.

upon first touch, necrozma first beheld zev as one of its own shards. a fragment of itself made to scour worlds for light. for energy. for avatars—and indeed, it had found one. it just didn't know that zev was its own.

but now, necrozma understands.

and now they must work.

the necrozma descends upon the city with zev, for it views him as an extension of itself. necrozma's crystalline connection with zev bears mordant fruit and another power grows:

ACCRUING POWER

zev has been conferred another portion of necrozma's power.

Zev Harcourt's current perks:

• zev’s body is infused with indestructible dark crystals, which he can manipulate to cover his skin and transform into claws, tendrils, spikes, or other protrusions. they automatically protect his body from lethal injuries.



• zev can absorb all artificial light within a limited radius, causing mini blackouts, as well as the light from fire, lightning, and bioluminescence.



• zev can manipulate the gravitational field in his immediate vicinity, allowing him to change the planet’s gravitational pull on everything within range, including himself.
  
  he can ascend to high places (but not fly), control any falls to the ground, and make himself immovable when grounded. he can also cause other objects, people, and pokémon to rise into the air or force them to the ground.

as megalopolans begin to sound warnings of their arrival, necrozma's connection continues to grow within zev. there is more to learn, more to gain, and more humanity to shred.

PROMPT

WITH NECROZMA, lay siege to the Megalopolan settlement.

EVENT HORIZON

Swarms of Naganadel soar from the toppling skyline. On their lithe backs, Megalopolan defenses ride and weave through prismatic beams. Tortured cries mark successful strikes; several Naganadel are shot out of the air by the blinding lights.

However, Zev Harcourt would notice that his patron has stalled. Requiring recharge from deploying its PRISMATIC LASER, the deity, still incomplete, still incomprehensive, writhes stiffly before plummeting to the ground in midst the rubble and carnage Zev Harcourt too, has created.

A Helmeted Commander calls for action: "now's our chance! the sun devourer dies tonight!"

Taking advantage of Necrozma's vulnerability, the draconic valkyries fire their poisonous barrage. As the poisons batter Necrozma's slick armors, Zev Harcourt would be able to sense its pain. Its fury.

Several obsidian fragments slough off of its paralyzed body... and find themselves gravitating toward Zev Harcourt's form. They join him:

ACCRUING POWER

zev has been conferred another portion of necrozma's power.

Zev Harcourt's newest power:

• zev can summon unnatural darkness to cover an area within a limited radius. Only he and his Pokémon can see through the darkness; anyone else within it is blind.
  
  Any lights within the area go out and can’t be turned back on while the darkness is active, and outside lights cannot penetrate it. Anyone observing from outside the area will see it as a dome-shaped, starless void.

Once again, the Helmeted Commander shouts orders. "raise the false sun!"

In the distance, a tall, slumbering monolith activates. Rising tall, the black spire cuts into the view of the moon, cutting into its bright sphere with a peculiar stencil in the shape of an ancient sun—one kyle lopez would know well:

PROMPT

PROTECT NECROZMA and lay siege to the Megalopolan settlement.

EVENT HORIZON

THE DARK DOME UNSHEATHES, but the Megalopolan forces are too slow, too powerless to stop Zev Harcourt's newfound power. Though this settlement may have progressed beyond their multiversal counterparts, they still bend. Crack. The longer the bridge of advancement, the more likely it is to crumble.

The sun-crested spire topples. Whatever light it attempts to siphon from the moon dissolves. As the tower falls into ruin, several COSMOG can be seen escaping from its structure. They are quick to TELEPORT. Presumably, these children of the stars warp back into ULTRA SPACE as the Megalopolan's lure is destroyed.

Immediately, the entire settlement plunges into darkness. As NECROZMA recovers, its sharp angular limbs violently snap to catch any remnants of light scattering from the depowered civilization.

Once again, the Helmeted Commander's cry cuts through the carnage. This time, the Megalopolan directs her fury at Zev Harcourt, voice sharpened and oozing with vitriol like a Naganadel's stinger: "who are you? why... why do you ally yourself with such a creature? the devourer of suns?" It is clear that this universe's PHILOMERA will face a tragic end too—and her grave knowing can be felt in the defiant coldness of her breath. "tear them apart. tear them both apart!"

NECROZMA has learned to channel its centuries of suffering into power. Into bladed, self-serrating agency. And now, it understands Zev Harcourt does the same. However, the NECROZMA realizes the madness has caused it to miscalculate its fated loneliness. For eons, it believed it would never belong. Never belong again.

But now, it does in kinship with this curious man riddled with itself: more crystal than flesh. More monster than human. For this reason, the Pokemon solidifies their bond as the Megalopolans attack:

PROMPT

Finish the Megalopolan forces off with Necrozma.
This is the penultimate moderator post.

EVENT HORIZON

FINALLY, THERE IS SILENCE. The Megalopolan city is no more and subsequently, the manifested origin point of this universe. The White-haired Lady notes it so alongside change in monikers. The title Zev Harcourt bears as THE DEVOURER and his intrusion into a new plane with his patron forces changes that ripple across the battlefield of fate.

THE TEMPEST is no more. THE NAVIGATOR is no more. Such shifts are made in exchange for the prevention of one calamity. However, it speeds up another (she knows, she knows). UNIVERSE 820 is what the DRK TRIAD must force into its blind spot for the sake of existence. For the sake of space and time.

NECROZMA tears another ULTRA WORMHOLE open to take Zev Harcourt back home. Should he pass into that crackling rift, he would find himself back on Hoenn soil. However, The Black Knight does not follow him. Instead, a BLACK SHARD passes through the portal before expanding into a SHARD OF NECROZMA. It is smaller. Less powerful. But it is still part of it much like the Harcourt is.

And that will never change.

NECROZMA

You may now add NECROZMA to your PERSONAL COMPUTER. Please choose its moveset like a GACHAPON POKEMON.

In special occasions, Zev Harcourt may be able to call upon the real NECROZMA to come to his aid...
