TFW PRELUDE

PETALBURG, ft. dorian westcliff

His heart stopped. Buried beneath rock and stone, his heart seized up with a singular, booming beat, and the earth trembled in the deafening silence that followed.

Then the mound of boulders shifted. Slowly.

Slowly.

Before it suddenly exploded, sending boulders hurtling all about the forest as a countless dots of glimmering pink flooded the burning prairie.

They embedded themselves unto everything. Trees, stones, earth, rockets, all the pokemon... And perhaps even dorian westcliff, if he didn't react in time.

As the upheaved boulders descended back unto earth, kicking large clouds of dust upon heavy landing, the colonel's hazy silhouette stood where he had been crushed before, unmoving.

Despite his seeming inaction, things began to change around him.

Trees that hadn't yet been wholly destroyed began to recover, cracked bark and consumed leaves growing back faster than the flames could consume them. Plant life began to regrow where it could, grass and weeds seeming to reverse course on the flames, consuming them back.

The soldier's pokemon's began to recover from their wounds. Though the Spidops had collapsed and fainted, its carapace was sealing together, its life blood seizing its escape. The Araquanid's strength returned swiftly, the confusion passing in a snap as its gaze refocused on its opponents.

The enemy, however—

Their bodies bloated. Unnatural growths, fit to burst, bulged alongside musculature and limbs, weighing them down and impeding movement, growing more and more, zapping away rapidly at any vitality within.

From within the dust cloud, the lieutenant's silhouette shifted, moving subtly.

His eyes glowed through the dust as it cleared, glimmering orbs of cyan and magenta in place of formerly dark eyes.

Doug stared at the man that had began it all, that had caused everything to go to shit.

And his shoulders trembled. His lips pursed. His cheeks filled with air as his chest jerked.

"Pfft-uguh... muh..."

A snort. A snicker. A low, barely held in exhale.

"Fuh... huh... huhuhu...!"

Quaking shoulders, a broad, ear to ear smile. Pearly white teeth seemed to glimmer.

And finally, he threw back his head, hand over his face, his voice booming through the forest.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!"

And laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

PETALBURG, ft. dorian westcliff

The laughter only grew louder and more frequent, slowly beginning to drown out the distant booms of war and death.

The avatar's frame jerked and quaked erratically, his whole body beginning to glow, first a dull magenta, then slowly growing its radiance towards a blinding pink.

The experienced rocket would be able to tell within seconds— he and his men had but a scant few moments to run before the next, even bigger explosion of scales swallowed them and possibly the forest whole.

The laughter climbed to deafening heights as the earth around the avatar began to tremble, pebbles, boulders and fallen trees beginning to rise in the air.

There was good reason for Dorian to regret.

The reality was, they all should've ran.

Sparks of dark magenta fleeted around the avatar's blinding silhouette, contrasting against the glimmering white.

And then it exploded.

The ripple traveled the length of the forest in an instant, forcing tree tops to nearly dislodge off their trunks and earth to be upheaved as a near solid mass of pink scales swept through like crashing waves.

Dorian's men were swept aside by the scales, their bodies shattered by the shockwave, then repaired by the scales in an instant, then swiftly broken down by the bulbous overgrowth as cells were rapidly killed and recreated, again and again.

All around the forest, the healing scales covered the world in a curtain of pink, a loud, unrestrained laughter following its rapid expanse.

Until— a booming earthquake tore soil and plant life apart as it rocked Petalburg, silencing the laughter.

Slowly, the avatar's silhouette rose over the forest's canopy, a thickened, massive scale composed of a myriad shards serving as a platform as he looked over the horizon with wide eyes and a wider yet grin.

"Ooooh." He cooed, as the platform beneath him began to carry him forth.

On the forest beneath, his araquanid's gaze followed him, its Spidops partner thrown unto its back as it gave chase to its oddly behaving master.

🌳 at the end of the thread, a large earthquake will interrupt the warfront.
