[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY [attr="class","omgenmid"] RAID EVENT [player]https://file.garden/ZXZrnWMYuz15frfJ/HOENN%20MUSIC/first%20round%20pp.mp3[/player] [break] Lusamine Encounter Theme SHIELDS & NIHILEGO
IN THE FEEDING PIT, the HEARTHFLAME OGERPON'S MASK bathes the room in an ominous red glow. The following events happen in a matter of seconds:[break][break]
The flames surge forward from the fiery facepiece of the OGERPON. However, they are immediately contained within the lavender shield Tempest Quinn erects around the creature. Flames course around the sphere, its hue brightening like heated glass as Knight Naito, emboldened by his company, prepares his defenses for all. It is clear the orb will not last...[break][break]
But it buys enough time for those contesting the NIHILEGO. A flurry of STEALTH ROCKS fly toward everyone in the chamber. As they do, a pump of poison from his chain allows Josh Devlin break apart several stones before they reach the group. Nevertheless, there are far too many for even his speed to challenge.[break][break]
Eduardo Hisakawa immediately parries a lash of NIHILEGO tentacle with his chain as he punches one back. Eventually, as the poison forces him to buckle, Beau Fontaine defends him. His augmented strength allows him to punch tentacle after tentacle as the two brawny bros bob and weave between paxton concordas's precise projectiles.[break][break]
Above, DESIREE BLOOMS dances across NIHILEGO heads. Her feet graces their starry domes, jellyfish thrust about and occasionally thrown into the firing range of paxton concordas's "gun".[break][break]
With her gauntlets, Aurelie Lefevre joins in the punching. As she clobbers another NIHILEGO, Genevieve Cromwell leaps through the air with her adaptable chain. She grabs one Ultra Beast and swings it into another, eyes glowing bright fuchsia.[break][break]
Throughout the chaos, Navy's chain-gun protects Genevieve Cromwell and Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki. They pull stray NIHILEGO away from them as they leap into the fray. illeana reyes's eruption of spatial powers erupts in the chamber, severely weakening the tentacled creatures. Many STEALTH ROCKS begin to crumble apart and as the NIHILEGO'Stentacles droop, she attempts to stagger toward the nearest exit.[break][break]
Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki attempts to pacify the rest of the NIHILEGO in the pit. She pushes past eroding stones—and as she reaches for each floating jellyfish, WORRY SEEDS about to spread from their bodies, she calms them. But Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki will be able to sense her ability to pacify them is not wholly due to her chain-related "blessing". As a pulse of poison ticks from her chain, she will notice in the way that the NIHILEGO all swing their eye-less heads toward her, that they acknowledge her somehow...[break][break]
Like an exploding sun, Tempest Quinn's lavender shield enclosing the OGERPON shatters. And like the prize he has sought after for all this time, the flames gift Knight Naito with their unbearable heat to protect Tempest Quinn and everyone else. Much to the dismay of his friends, his armour thickens and his left-handed shield acts as the secondary barricade for the fire. With every tick of burning, his stamina drains... but he can do it, he surely can...[break][break]
SHOWERS & OGERPON AS THE FLAMES ARE WEATHERED by Knight Naito and Tempest Quinn, the HEARTHFLAME OGERPON is chained by various prisoners. Shadowy nooses restrain the masked creature. It writhes [break][break]
As Navy's chain-gun fires to protect Andrea Vaneau and Johanna Joy in flight, Leon Settentrioné's ability protects the others too. Some are still encased by Tempest Quinn's lavender-hued shields, but the added protection allows them the confidence to work.[break][break]
PENELOPE LIVY may witness her threads entangled with the cursed AVATARS OF RUIN—but she sees the strings attached to the litter and the sprinkler system above. Michael Davis scrambles to fill the feeding bowl with as much leftover mochi as possible. The rubble created by priam conrad's explosives is collected too—and that is the key to fast fascination.[break][break]
100kg A bowl full of metal and stone is indeed heavier than 100kg a bowl full of mochi and the sprinkler system immediately attempts to activate. However, although the showers are still functional, the explosions have also dented the pipes. While nauseous and sobbing, DESIREE BLOOMS beats the pipes alongside Cillian Quinn's shadow-chains, allowing for the flow of water while priam conrad, empowered by THEO BECKETT's support, throws his firecracker-chains toward the rest of the spouts. As they erupt...[break][break]
Nearby, Naomi Sato watches as Greyson Connors's AMETHYST ORB hovers, siphoning strength from the nearby NIHILEGO and the OGERPON itself. The crystal's looming influence allows Andrea Vaneau to wrap around the green ogre, holding her from the back. Assisted by BARNABY FINCH's nooses, Elise Calcifet and Thea Naito join her, but the sheer strength of this Pokemon is unmistakable. It kicks at them. Vines sprout and slap at them like whips; Thea Naito is instrumental in keeping the beast in place. Her ability, resonating with her earnest selflessness, allows her to push her endurance against pain to its limits.[break][break]
Melody Miro's voice rings out to empower Andrea Vaneau and OGERPON too, the chains behind its mask fighting back against the creature's growing defiance. When Aubre McKenna-Settentrione's tendrils reach the Pokemon, the fear of fire is bestowed temporarily. Consequently, the OGERPON panics. To be face-to-face with a mask embodying flame is an extreme therapy of exposure. A chain-manifested spear from Remiel Calcifet lands on a NIHILEGO reaching for Andrea Vaneau—and as it erupts in flame, it immediately faints it. However, the flame causes the OGERPON to panic even further.[break][break]
It thrashes about violently but is held in place—and the mask glimmers ominously once again.[break][break]
Another wave of flame will come once more. Knight Naito, Tempest Quinn, and Leon Settentrioné's defensive abilities will not be able to stand another instant wave of fire. Knight Naito's stamina is depleted, and as the mask glows infernal, cold, freezing water sprays across the party.[break][break]
The first spout is activated by Michael Davis' efforts. Several other pipes are broken in physically or by the resulting firecracker explosion. Cold water douses the mask—and the scalding glow fades. oscar clayton's will coerces other NIHILEGO to latch their tentacles onto the OGERPON'S MASK, while ever blackwell leaps in to assist with the mask's removal.[break][break]
With John Sullivan's tactic in mind, Aubre McKenna-Settentrione tugs at the WORRY SEED and dislodges it successfully. Like sand, it crumbles in her hand and is immediately washed by the waters.[break][break]
Immediately, Elaine Highland darts in with her chain. Her detective skills translate into her desire to identify weakness. The drenched HEARTHFLAME MASK is wide open thanks to everyone else's efforts, and her chain slams into the point of greatest vulnerability. Like priam conrad's fireworks, the mask itself shatters into a myriad of brilliant, prismatic shards. The mask crumbles apart to reveal the OGERPON'S ORANGE FACE, still obscured some by the toxic chains wriggling about its neck and head.[break][break]
The creature breaks free from Aubre McKenna-Settentrione, Elise Calcifet, ever blackwell, and oscar clayton's charmed NIHILEGO, with Andrea Vaneau and Thea Naito still wrapped around its body. Johanna Joy attempts to assist Andrea Vaneau further—but the unintentional effects of FERNANDO SILPH's desire to be unnoticed cause a stray NIHILEGO to strike her away. Thankfully, a laser and deft strike from Zev Harcourt and Neffatari Nzingha land on the restrained OGERPON, granting time for the Draconids to react.[break][break]
Eyes still tinted purple, it initiates a spar with Roy Aker and freya morningstar. The two stand on their own. Harsh wooden kicks are parried by Roy Aker's super strengthened body, his brute force approach manifesting in his own retaliatory punches and kicks. freya morningstar's chain expels draconic flame as Roy Aker ducks, slowing the OGERPON approach as Andrea Vaneau and Thea Naito continue to flail about.[break][break]
However, all throughout this fabled encounter, a mini drama has been transpiring among the group. Affected by PENELOPE LIVY's influence, jayden cross rushes in to assist freya morningstar's fiery advance. However, he captures a glimpse of Noel Parker—and the emotions burst outward. TERROR is inflicted briefly on those who are struck, including the NIHILEGO and the OGERPON before him. However, thanks to Laurence Whateley, the the fear inflicted is rendered more brief. More easily shaken off—but not right now.[break][break]
THE FEEDING PIT floor shakes and groans as Grigori Sokolov is afflicted with immense fear. Aggressively, he strikes at annalise henderson who is unable to protect the OGERPON due to the fervent chaos obstructing her. howard slayte tackles Grigori Sokolov to the floor, and once again the pit trembles. More of the floor crumbles off the edge of the hole.[break][break]
Struck by fear, Noel Parker's chain lashes about and spits blue flame. The flames burn those that it touches, and finally faint the NIHILEGO that have been continually weakened by Greyson Connors's AMETHYST ORB.[break][break]
A burned Mimi Hirose reaches for annalise henderson, begging for her to flee as Grigori Sokolov writhes violently, pinned beneath howard slayte and graced by Laurence Whateley's depowering touch...[break][break]
But annalise henderson can not make that decision, even with Mimi Hirose's desperate plea. The floor makes it for her. THE FEEDING PIT's FLOOR crumbles apart and everyone who has not escaped through the hole or the tube fall to the lower floor.

ESCAPE THROUGH THE HOLE
SEVERAL MAKE A LEAP OF FAITH to the lower floor by way of the hole created by priam conrad's chain-explosives. The kids descend quickly, drawn by their desire to see an old ally safe. Cassandra Kubrick is similar. Pulled by her wish to see her own Pokemon and the safety of AZELF confirmed, she leaps.[break][break]
All who leap will realize it is a decent height. The fall will not break bones, but those who are unprepared for the height may be surprised by the vertigo seizing their heart and lungs before the landing in the dark floor. Around them, green "tanks" of liquid illuminate this new area, preventing it from being completely dark.
ESCAPE THROUGH THE TUBE
THOSE WHO ESCAPE BY THE EXPOSED TUBE find themselves sliding through what feels like a fleshy, ribbed waterslide. zachary stellar can see his starry trail lead him down, and like everyone else, they land in a vat of cold, green liquid. Once submerged, the tube pulses. From the membranes, they can see those who have leapt. Those who have fallen. And they too, can see them, floating in this mysterious liquid.[break][break]
At the end of the tube, the membrane is a gray, fleshy material. However, when pressing upon it with your hand, you will be able to push through, emerging like a newly birthed child onto this area's floor.
THE BREEDING PIT
HERE, IN THIS CHAMBER OF TUBES, as everyone adjusts to the dim lighting, they will find themselves surrounded by familiar faces. The familiar faces of their Pokemon, suspended in green liquid. Even those who have seemingly lost their Pokemon by way of mochi mallet, can find their beloved companions floating in their prasinous vats.
Curiously, there is not one of them however. But two. Each tube that houses a Pokemon is paired with another tube right beside it. In the paired tube, a duplicate of their Pokemon sleeps. They look almost identical, but they possess a toxic chain incorporated in their bodies...[break][break]
A tube housing a BLOODMOON URSALUNA has an empty tube beside it. However, from above, its duplicate descends, bulging the tube out as its body lands in the vat, a toxic chain springing out from its moon-like mark.[break][break]
Legendaries, mythicals, and legendary shards in these tubes have empty tubes besides them as well. However, they do not clones. Instead, toxic chains have been wrapped around them entirely and like THE RED CHAIN have subdued them.[break][break]
Hideo Kino, Eris Halla and Cassandra Kubrick search for AZELF among the vast rows of vats. And eventually, they find it. Submerged in a lake of green, the AZELF floats, eyes closed, its red crystal still mostly broken and crumbled away. After a time of reflection, the MARK OF MESPRIT AND UXIE that had disappeared reappears briefly on Hideo Kino and Eris Halla's bodies.[break][break]
The remnants of its RED CRYSTAL glow furiously. An EXPANDING FORCE of will bursts AZELF'S TUBE, freeing it in a torrent of green. The energy travels across the entirety of THE BREEDING PIT and strikes every single prisoner. Upon being struck, the TOXIC CHAINS of each prisoner begin to shrivel and fall off their bodies like dried fruit.[break][break]
FREEDOM DESPAIRING DISADVANTAGE, DISADVANTAGE, and POISONED EFFECTS are now removed. You may ROLL normally now.[break][break]
Your Toxic Chains are now gone. Your masks are easily pulled off too if you haven't discarded them off already. Furthermore, you will no longer have access to your Toxic Chain abilities.
It even strikes the OGERPON. Its TOXIC CHAINS fall, revealing its precious face. But it is exhausted. Weakened and overwhelmed by its forced insomnia, the creature, who has desired so desperately to be accepted by humankind but is so fearful of their presence, finally sees clear and true. And its eyes match with Andrea Vaneau, the human who is more beast. The human who desires to be a Pokemon, and it is that inner spirit of hers that overcomes the threshold of skittishness for the OGERPON in order for it to finally bond.
The OGERPON seems comfortable around Thea Naito too. With a PON!, it smiles at her before it falls... and slumps to the floor in a state of severe exhaustion.[break][break]
AFTER AZELF'S EXPANDING FORCE, your trainers' Pokemon awake as well. They emerge from their tubes. Even the Legendaries, Mythicals, and Shards emerge, their TOXIC CHAINS shedding from their bodies as they reunite with their trainers. Despite the conflicting allegiances of this prison, the companionship between trainer and Pokemon may briefly erase the tensions and present the illusory fantasy of one peaceful Hoenn...[break][break]
However, Hoenn is fated to end. The Origin Point looms. And as the AZELF'S RED CRYSTAL flickers dull, the marks Eris Halla and Hideo Kino possess fade too. The sprite falls from its tall height, tails and limbs limp. Its eyes dull before they close. If it is not caught, it lands on the floor in a still heap.[break][break]
Curiously, the cloned Pokemon remain in their tubes and do not shed their chains.[break][break]
REUNITED EVERYONE now has access to the Pokemon they have signed-up with. However, remember, you will only be able to have ONE POKEMON OUT AT A TIME/PERFORMING A MAIN ACTION AT A TIME.
THOSE WHO INVESTIGATE THE BREEDING PIT will discover that there are indeed WINDOWS. However, they are covered by metal paneling obscuring a view of the outside. However, they easily slide open...[break][break]
OTHERS MAY INVESTIGATE A SECLUDED ROOM in the pit. Should they open it, they will greeted by screams. They find a large group of MEGALOPOLANS huddled in its corner, including a great number of children. Several of the older Megalopolans hold GRABBERS in their hands, but they do not seem like they are trained in their defensive use. Instead, all of these MEGALOPOLANS are TOXIC CHAINLESS...[break][break]
In the same room, you will be able to find your Pokeballs, your Mega Accessories, your suits. Anything your characters would have owned has been stored here. Some Megalopolans wear your SYGNA SUITS, but will readily divest themselves of them when prodded.[break][break]
Perhaps these Megalopolans are here to learn how to use these Hoennian inventions. Perhaps they are here to play with them. To spend time until the work of the prisoners is completed. The windows of this room are obscured too, and the lights have been switched off for they have hidden themselves from you all in fear.
REQUIPPED YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE ACCESS to all of their accessories now. However, the pokeballs that housed howard slayte, Johanna Joy, MAKI YUKIMURA, illeana reyes, Roy Aker, Eduardo Hisakawa, Michael Davis, zachary stellar, MARISOL SIMONE, Andrea Vaneau, Isaac Merlo, and Shred's Pokemon that were presumably smashed by the Megalopolans, are obviously not available anymore.
DYNAMAX IN THE BREEDING PIT, priam conrad's LEGENDARY MARK burns. In the center of the chamber, he sees the TERA CRYSTAL SCREENS in the ceiling, the MOCHI BOWL used to smash Pokeballs... and an ARTIFICIAL DYNAMAX POWER SPOT.[break][break]
Everyone can hear violent smashing in the floors above. Whatever was chasing them is near and will imminently arrive.[break][break]
