AN EARTHQUAKE ROCKS PETALBURG CITY. As the first of the shaking begins to subside, a violent SANDSTORM whips into the city. As ancient grit and stone batter tired trainers and their Pokemon, eerie beacons of light spear through the sands. These lights flicker sporadically and are parsed by 's REGICE:[break]

Aftershocks continue to rock the city. As the remaining evacuees depart further inland, remaining League forces and civilians find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place as Rocket makes its final push...[break][break]

INSTRUCTIONS


[attr="class","topocorner"]


OOC EXPLANATION


THIS IS A RAID EVENT where characters post every round, attempting actions and/or responding to prompts or scenarios present within provided MODERATOR POSTS. Oftentimes, characters must make use of the ROLL command, which can determine the success of actions and/or create narrative tension.



This event is "DEATH-ENABLED". However, one should not worry too much about Pokemon or characters dying. Depending on player action, these high stakes can potentially be navigated without loss. Regardless, players can collaborate with me if they would like to craft dramatic moments like sacrifices, if it is able to be integrated into the event well.[break][break]

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to take advantage of this event to connect with new characters and to step out of your comfort zones. These events often act as a springboard for a variety of plots in its aftermath, with consequences that impact the wider site narrative and/or setting.[break][break]

Considering 's current health, this event will likely be SHORT, HAVE QUICKER TURNAROUNDS & HAVE LESS DETAILED MODERATOR POSTS. It is up to you to develop your stories, your dramatic moments, and more in response to the scenario presented.[break][break]

The plan is to conclude this event by the END OF AUGUST.[break][break]

Do note that this is A ROCKET VS LEAGUE faction-based event.


RULES


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.


  • only ONE of your characters can participate.
  • [break]
  • only ONE POKEMON can be out at a time (when applicable).
  • [break]
  • please provide a tl;dr &/or bold moves/abilities/items used with each post.
  • [break]
  • i will not tolerate complaints about not being mentioned, tagged, acknowledged or feeling "useless" in a raid. generally, i attempt to mention all characters and their actions in each post, but depending on the number of participants, this may not be feasible.
  • [break]
  • remember that although i am essentially the DUNGEON MASTER or GAME MASTER of this event, much of this event's enjoyment and storytelling rests upon the players shoulders. collaborate with what i provide in each moderator post and each other for the best result!
  • [break]
  • lastly, be cognizant of participating players and characters. no one is the "main character" of an event, and allowing space for give-and-take between characters and their actions is highly encouraged.
  • [break]
  • more rules may be specified in the actual event thread.
  • [break]

OOC NAME: inmediasres[break]
CHARACTER: [break]
FACTION: League[break]
POKEMON PARTY (MAX 6) Note; This is pretty much just Eddie's original team sign-up except for the removal of his Buzzwole (KO'd during his prelude) and the addition of Terrakion (who joined during Eddie's prelude).


NOTES/COMMENTS: As far as narrative beats go, events like Prismatic Pen and State of the Region have left him feeling somewhat powerless in the face of overwhelming adversity, so Eddie can and will be a self-sacrificing jackass if it means keeping people safe (especially in light of other stuff he's been a part of, like Hyperborea). But, for as noble as his intentions may be, I'd also like to explore the potential consequences of Eddie placing higher value in the lives of others over his own safety 👀 I also feel like this could potentially work well with any Terrakion characterization/related stuff!

As a note, Eddie's knuckles are currently burned and blackened from punching Regice's Dynamax barrier, though the injuries have been temporarily triaged by Tsubaki's Nihilego poison and its numbing capabilities.

I'd like some good opportunites for Elise to bond more/use her Calyrex shard so that she can get stronger from the death of her shiny Doublade.
