SUMMARY OF ACTIONS

FOR THIS FLASH RAID, heavy moderation will not occur unless required. There may be instances where the thread "freezes" for several characters to interact, etc. Below is a list of summarized actions from the participating characters, including some resolutions of actions.

[attr="class","promptsection"]

[attr="class","prompt0"]AIRI WATANABE's medical expertise and GARDEVOIR allow her to revive Aaron Toral's GENGAR. After she tends to Aaron Toral, her SWAMPERT PROTECTS with Aaron Toral against the incoming SANDSTORM and boulders.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Aaron Toral's TREVENANT creates a protective fort for cover with HORN LEECH & LEECH SEED, eventually protecting him and AIRI WATANABE from the incoming SANDSTORM and boulders.

[attr="class","prompt0"]DESIREE BLOOMS approaches AIRI WATANABE and Aaron Toral, encouraging them to stay. Her DIANCIE cuts through the debris with its sword/DIAMOND STORM.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Shalin Nariya defends against the incoming boulders with her FLYGON'S BUG BUZZ. She communicates to fellow League trainers and encourages them to engage the REGIROCK.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]Roze Falkner navigates the trauma incurred by REGICE and will eventually see Hideo Kino in the sands.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Hideo Kino leaves Petalburg Woods, but loses Eris Halla and Cassandra Kubrick in the process. Atop of his TYPE: NULL, Hideo Kino narrowly avoids an incoming boulder that would have surely crushed him.

[attr="class","prompt0"]FERNANDO SILPH finds himself near Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki and Andrea Vaneau. His 10% ZYGARDE destroys incoming boulders with DRAGON PULSE. He hears Andrea Vaneau cry futilely to the REGIROCK.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Andrea Vaneau's AGGRON weathers the SANDSTORM and uses PROTECT. She recognizes the titan's vague appearance due to her experiences in the RKS SIMULATION and AREA ZERO: EXCURSIONS. She shouts at it to leave, but the Legendary Giant is impartial to her plea.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki's NIHILEGO unleashes a POWER GEM to destroy the boulders falling toward her. The bright light is seen by FERNANDO SILPH and Andrea Vaneau and others who witness the attack. She's navigating her trauma while attempting to do what's best for the region.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]Yamaguchi Himiko is reinvigorated by the KANTO ROCKET BOSS' VOICE. She moves towards the voice's direction in the sandstorm.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Hawkins' CHIKORITA uses REFLECT. A boulder collides into it, deflecting it towards Yamaguchi Himiko accidentally. He pulls her out of the way in the nick of time.

[attr="class","prompt0"]PETRA MONROE and her NIDOQUEEN helps her through the SANDSTORM. She hears ULYSSES MONROE'S VOICE too.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]Eduardo Hisakawa is separated from Roze Falkner, Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki and howard slayte as the SANDSTORM tears into the city. With TERAKKION, he is led to PETRA MONROE's location.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]Elise Calcifet and Cadeyrn Osmond tend to each other at a medical station. The Princess' GENGAR uses PROTECT to prevent a boulder from crushing them. Cadeyrn Osmond's DRAGAPULT hides, waiting for when it is needed.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Kenjiro Yamada has been stalking Elise Calcifet and finally finds a moment to strike. He emerges from the sands to attack the princess, but is parried by Elise Calcifet's knight, Cadeyrn Osmond.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Kazuya Yoshida emerges from earthquake debris. Although he can not clearly see the REGIROCK, his WOOPER attempts to use WATER GUN when it senses a boulder being thrown. The attack cuts through the sands, but it is unsure if it lands.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Cassandra Kubrick loses track of Eris Halla and Hideo Kino, but she witnesses REGIROCK'S EYES emerging in the sands. Her AZELF remains disguised as a RALTS.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]Gunner Graves's SYGNA SUIT is active with his TYPHLOSION, allowing him to weather the SANDSTORM better than normally. He carries jack wainwright's unconscious body as he shouts for aid.

[attr="class","prompt0"]El Sunderland answers Gunner Graves's call for medical assistance. They alight with TOGEKISS and use LIFE DEW t o heal Gunner Graves and jack wainwright.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Georgette Bluebottle recuperates at a medical tent before rushing toward jack wainwright with her GLASTRIER. She injects epinephrine into jack wainwright expeditiously to help him.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Isaac Merlo arrives, followed by SUICUNE. A TAILWIND grants them some relief from the swirling sands, but the conjured POOL OF HEALING WATERS assists Gunner Graves, jack wainwright, El Sunderland, Georgette Bluebottle and himself.

[attr="class","prompt0"]jack wainwright eventually stirs awake after being injected with epinephrine by Georgette Bluebottle. The persona he created with DESIREE BLOOMS during PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY takes over before he recalls his fainted SIRFETCH'D.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Eris Halla is grateful to witness El Sunderland, Gunner Graves, jack wainwright, Georgette Bluebottle and Isaac Merlo gathered together. With her MESPRIT, she rushes toward them.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]John Sullivan speeds toward the REGIROCK'S GLOWING EYES. He attempts to heal the Giant with his ability of HEALING SCALES...

[attr="class","prompt0"]Separated from FERNANDO SILPH after the murder of DEREK HOFFMAN, Elisabeth Fiorelli summons vines to hold the REGIROCK down with vines. She is able to quickly find a limb to try and subdue due to her past encounter with the Giant, but will struggle immensely due to its DYNAMAXED SIZE. Her TAPU FINI attacks John Sullivan with NATURE'S MADNESS who has landed somewhere on the REGIROCK'S BODY.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Nearby, Kouji Matsubara communicates with howard slayte before taunting John Sullivan who has made his presence known. His DRACOVISH fires a DRAGON PULSE toward the Bug-type Specialist.

[attr="class","prompt0"]The wild card, gaius marcellus, attacks John Sullivan with his LUCARIO and an EXTREME SPEED before consulting with howard slayte.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]howard slayte rides atop his DYNAMAXED REGICE alongside fellow Rockets, oscar clayton, priam conrad, and Yuan Wright. The Legendary Ice Giant marches into the city as the Admin shouts back at ULYSSES MONROE who is somewhere in the sands. The REGICE uses MAX KNUCKLE at REGIROCK'S FORM EMERGING IN THE SANDS.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]After lamenting the departure of GENESECT PRIME, he rides the REGICE with his GOUGING FIRE. A SUNNY DAY pierces through some of the SANDSTORM to illuminate where the REGIROCK is for his allies.

[attr="class","prompt0"]priam conrad's LEGENDARY MARK begins to burn/glow, confirming that the REGIROCK is indeed, DYNAMAXED. His SHEER FORCE BRAVIARY uses a HURRICANE to protect his party from incoming boulders and debris.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Yuan Wright lands on the DYNAMAXED REGICE with his BLACEPHALON. His BLACEPHALON uses WILL-O-WISP toward the titan, but there are no signs of its efficacy as the wisps disappear into the sands.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Tangaroa Emzar moves alongside the DYNAMAXED REGICE with his ALOLAN EXEGGUTOR. A REFLECT is erected to defend himself against a boulder, which promptly crumbles after impact.

[break]

[attr="class","prompt0"]dorian westcliff's SHADOW ARMAROUGE is able charge its AURA SPHERE, firing it at the opportune moment...

ROUND 2

🎼 Battle Vs. Regi Trio - Pokémon Masters EX OST

[break][break]

REGIROCK HAULS ITS TORMENTED BODY FROM THE CREVASSE. As the Giant's full DYNAMAXED body rises, the following trainers and their Pokemon are battered by the harsh SANDSTORM:

SCOUT WILDER AIRI WATANABE DESIREE BLOOMS Yamaguchi Himiko Hawkins Andrea Vaneau howard slayte Yuan Wright PETRA MONROE Eduardo Hisakawa Cassandra Kubrick Kazuya Yoshida Kenjiro Yamada Cadeyrn Osmond Georgette Bluebottle Eris Halla Isaac Merlo

John Sullivan's empathetic heart cries for REGIROCK. However, as his scales settle on the rising Giant's body, he notices that there is nothing to be healed—or the Titan perhaps, operates by different, ancient rules. Through the sands, attacks converge upon him, including Yuan Wright's WILL-O-WISP and a WATER GUN from Kazuya Yoshida's WOOPER. He is able to defend against Kouji Matsubara's DRACOVISH'S DRAGON PULSE, but gaius marcellus's LUCARIO'S EXTREME SPEED forces him to make an evasive maneuver. Consequently, it opens John Sullivan to be struck by Elisabeth Fiorelli's TAPU FINI and its NATURE'S FURY.[break][break]

The MAX KNUCKLE from howard slayte's REGICE is matched with the REGIROCK'S OWN. Fists of rock and ice collide against each other, forming a temporary bridge as rocks and icy shrapnel scatter from the point of impact. The Giants are forced into a brief contest of strength. However, THE FEAR PRESENT WITHIN REGIROCK BEGINS TO SEEP INTO REGICE: a sensation howard slayte will be quick to realize.[break][break]

dorian westcliff's SHADOW ARMAROUGE launches a powerful AURA SPHERE. It lands against the REGIROCK, briefly delaying an imminent MAX ROCKFALL before it throws another punch toward the REGICE and those on it.[break][break]

[break]

MEANWHILE, the voice of ULYSSES MONROE may bring Yamaguchi Himiko, Hawkins, PETRA MONROE and Eduardo Hisakawa closer to J5. Should they wade through the sands, avoiding REGICE'S MARCH and REGIROCK'S THROWN RUBBLE, they will witness a tall, well-built man sporting a thick grey-beard. Behind him, an AERODACTYL wafts its heavy wings. Several Rocket grunts can be seen behind him, wielding various Kantonian Pokemon: Onix, Rhyhorn, Alakazam, Starmie. It seems that ever since Kanto's fall, the diversity of the crime syndicate's Pokemon has widely expanded.[break][break]

Before the Kanto boss, those who approach will see the dreadful scenery of scattered bodies: soundly defeated League personnel. But in the defeated crowd's center, those who are familiar with him will see Verdanturf's GYM LEADER, noah faber, sprawled out as an unmoving heap.[break][break]

Should PETRA MONROE see ULYSSES, he would say: "look lads! my niece is here! a family reunion during war! who would've thought, gahahaha!"[break][break]

Those who are hostile to him will immediately face attacks from his Kantonian Rocket grunts behind him.[break][break]

[break]

THOSE IN THE EAST, Gunner Graves, jack wainwright, El Sunderland, Georgette Bluebottle, Eris Halla and Isaac Merlo find themselves interrupted by the lashing of a TOXIC CHAIN. A shriek pierces the sandstorm as an unnerving figure wades through the gritty veil. jack wainwright would be able to identify the Pokemon with fierce immediacy. A MUNKIDORI, newly resurrected from the broken statues and coalesced negative emotions of war, lunges in with a sadistic vengeance. With a swing of its chain, a SLUDGE WAVE is cast toward the entire group.[break][break]

IN THE WEST, Shalin Nariya, Aaron Toral, AIRI WATANABE and DESIREE BLOOMS suddenly smell a sweet scent on the sands. From the storm, a FEZANDIPITI soars with its charming pheromones. A POISON GAS rolls toward them before the bird, desiring revenge, attempts a CROSS POISON for the most vulnerable trainer.[break][break]

CLOSER TO THE CITY'S CENTER, Hideo Kino eventually comes face to face with his former warden. As Roze Falkner encounters the OKIDOGI for the first time, the dog swings its chain toward them for a devastating BRUTAL SWING before lunging for the most vulnerable trainer with its muscle-hardened body.[break][break]

ROLLING?

FOR THIS ROUND, you MUST ROLL using the roll command. SALAC BERRIES can be used for REROLLS.[break][break]

If you roll a 1-25, your character and/or their Pokemon MAY be subject to harm by Team Rocket, The Loyal Three, Regirock.

INSTRUCTIONS

OOC EXPLANATION

SPOILER: Click to show

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.

RAID EXAMPLE

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 shiv'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.
