BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS: MAIN EVENT
POSTED ON Aug 22, 2024 1:56:57 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"]  [attr="class","omgenmid"] BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS MAIN EVENT FLASH RAID [attr="class","topocorner"] SUMMARY OF ACTIONS
[attr="class","promptsection"] [attr="class","prompt0"] PENELOPE LIVY's CHI-YU lowers the DEFENSES of those around her, allowing her to shatter through the ROCK TOMB & PSYCHIC SHIELDS. She designates Naomi Sato as the DECOY, which will attract attacks to her. CHI-YU uses TAUNT on BEHEEYEM OR GOLEM (RPers' choice). [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] CALYREX's GLACIAL LANCE strikes Oliver Shrakes's DRAGONITE and paxton concordas's MEGA MAWILE. Oliver Shrakes's DRAGONITE and the MEGA MAWILE endure the hit, but just barely thanks to the FIRE PUNCH & MEGA EVOLUTION. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Victoria Beckett continues fighting Roy Aker. As the spatial dimensions warp, Victoria Beckett takes advantage of the chaos. She is able to strike Roy Aker with a spinning strike before she is tackled by him. Her ARCTOVISH and 10% ZYGARDE clash, the SURF & CRUNCH strike each other and lock up once more. Victoria Beckett can realize how far her training has taken her, for she is able to hold her own... in spite of Roy Aker's capabilities and the untimely loss of @jill. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Thomas Benoit dives after Cillian Quinn to kill him. However, illeana reyes's interference causes him to float up instead. He switches his BASCULEGION out for TAPU KOKO and an ELECTRIC TERRAIN spreads across the area thanks to its ability, ELECTRIC SURGE. The TAPU KOKO prepares by using CHARGE, which will double the damage of its next ELECTRIC-TYPE ATTACK. [attr="class","prompt0"]Upon witnessing Cillian Quinn's fall into the waters, several civilians who are moved by the man's compassion for his home, may rush with their Pokemon for Cillian Quinn and Tempest Quinn to assist them. Thomas Benoit may have to contend with this new complication. If desired, the civilians can be omitted or included and controlled by THORN & YAMS ( TAGGER will likely need communication too) in the next round. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Adrian Malcolm's SYGNA SUIT activates with RAGE, empowering the dragon's STRENGTH, BUT LOWERING ITS DEFENSES, allowing the GYARADOS to repel Remiel Calcifet's GARCHOMP successfully. GRENINJA faints before Adrian Malcolm heads toward THE GREAT DYNA TREE/PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE to assist bryan delarosa. [attr="class","prompt0"] BARNABY FINCH's GALARIAN MOLTRES is struck by the THUNDER and is empowered as it goes BERSERK. The bird expels a FROST BREATH at Remiel Calcifet's ZEKROM's wings, but the ZEKROM manages to protect itself. [attr="class","prompt0"] Remiel Calcifet's GARCHOMP retreats from Adrian Malcolm. On a DYNA TREE BRANCH, Remiel Calcifet attempts to spear ICE RIDER CALYREX with his LIGHTNING STILETTO; however, he's struck by Aurelie Lefevre's ROARING MOON. The DRAGON CLAW runs across his back. ZEKROM strikes BARNABY FINCH's GALARIAN MOLTRES with a BOLT STRIKE, aided by the KYOGRE caused thunderstorm. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] ana fell and her DUSKNOIR are struck by Rowan Wrynn's DUSKNOIR. She rolls across the SHADOW LUGIA's wingspan and falls. However, her DUSKNOIR manages to catch her. As they navigate the spatial inversions, DUSKNOIR is switched for GARDEVOIR; her SYGNA SUIT activates with GARDEVOIR instead. Due to her CAREFUL nature, the HEAL PULSES soar through spatial inversions, heavy rains and storms and successfully keep RAYQUAZA from falling completely unconscious. Those who see the attack will notice this Olympic-level of accuracy. [attr="class","prompt0"] freya morningstar's MEGA SALAMENCE carries her to RAYQUAZA. The RAYQUAZA uses DRAGON ASCENT and freya morningstar utilizes the attack's flames alongside a CONCUSSIVE BLAST to successfully tear BARNABY FINCH off the dragon. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Aoki Hana's DOUBLADE joins Shred's KORAIDON's SOLAR BEAM by knocking Lydia Magnusson's IRON VALIANT out. Although she is momentarily distracted by the AVATAR ABILITIES around her, she gives into her bloodlust as she faces Navy's deputy, Montgomery James. She tries to kill Montgomery James with DOUBLADE's AERIAL ACE.[attr="class","prompt0"] Montgomery James attempts to chain Aoki Hana with his gun. However, illeana reyes's spatial inversion causes him to miss. He regains his footing and commands his BRELOOM to STUN SPORE Aoki Hana. In the process, Aoki Hana's DOUBLADE will land an AERIAL ACE successfully on his BRELOOM and/or him. The STUN SPORE can affect Aoki Hana (if desired). [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Shred chains Navy with heavy ORICHALCUM, causing the man to sink into the sea. He engages with Genevieve Cromwell with his anti-League rhetoric, while KORAIDON uses AGILITY. They regard illeana reyes's PALKIA curiously. [attr="class","prompt0"] Navy is knocked into the water. He continuously subjects himself to dangers as he pursues KYOGRE to help others such as Mitsuru Kagami; however, his ZACIAN is overwhelmed by Shred and KORAIDON. [attr="class","prompt0"] Navy's ZACIAN uses Z-MOVE: BLADE OF PROMISED VICTORY to provide cover for kyle lopez's ENTEI's retreat before he is chained. [attr="class","prompt0"]The ICE RIDER CALYREX witnesses the ZACIAN and its Z-Move before the Elite Four is tossed into the sea by Shred. Swiftly and due to Aurelie Lefevre's disruption of Remiel Calcifet, it successfully hurls a GLACIAL LANCE at Navy and/or the ZACIAN who are sinking the sea. The waters freeze around his sinking body... [attr="class","prompt0"] Genevieve Cromwell heeds Head Ranger ollie morales's command. Calmed by TAPU BULU, she returns the TAPU BULU in favor for her MILOTIC as Navy sinks. She manages to find him in the waters and may be able to save him (RPer choice); however, they'll encounter major difficulty as the spatial properties of this area are inverted/ice from GLACIAL LANCE interferes. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] kyle lopez's ENTEI attempts to guide Mitsuru Kagami and Noel Parker to the east. It uses EXTREME SPEED to avoid incoming attacks, taking a bite out of a DYNA FRUIT in the process to completely recover. [attr="class","prompt0"] Mitsuru Kagami takes ENTEI's assistance while her DUSCLOPS uses THUNDER PUNCH on the incoming KYOGRE. [attr="class","prompt0"] Noel Parker follows ENTEI. His SHAYMIN emerges, a PETAL BLIZZARD swarming before them to protect against and strike KYOGRE. [attr="class","prompt0"]On the other side of the GREAT DYNA TREE, Absinthe Blackwood is rescued by her CROBAT. Her CROBAT hurls an AIR SLASH at KYOGRE. [attr="class","prompt0"] Lydia Magnusson is rescued by her KINGDRA after her fall into the sea. The KINGDRA summons a TWISTER around them in order to keep hostiles from approaching. [attr="class","prompt0"]After informing Rocket of his change in plans, his WAILORD is switched in in mid-air/on a floating platform. The large whale BODY SLAMs into KYOGRE, stunning the whale in its tracks. His maneuver provides a pivotal opening for Calliope Alvara. [attr="class","prompt0"] Calliope Alvara and her Pokemon are inspired by jayden cross and CHIEN-PAO's HATRED. From her advantageous position, her SHADOW SERPERIOR lands a SHADOW RAVE on KYOGRE's HEAD as Navy's Z-MOVE critically strikes the Leviathan too. Combined with everyone's attacks, the KYOGRE swerves toward GREAT DYNA TREE. [attr="class","prompt0"] MATIAS SILPH's GROUDON uses an empowered PRECIPICE BLADES. It travels, stone jutting out from the sea from Sootopolis stone to strike the KYOGRE for devastating impact... [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] bryan delarosa reaches the GREAT DYNA TREE. His SILVALLY is switched out for his AUDINO. The AUDINO MEGA EVOLVES and it uses HEAL PULSE on the PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE. He calls to Rockets nearby to fall back to the tree to protect it and to kill KYOGRE. Briefly, the PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE seems to recover... [attr="class","prompt0"] Gwyar Wledig surfs toward the GREAT DYNA TREE with his AEGISLASH. They charge their Z-MOVE... [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Niola Winchester's DHELMISE stubbornly hangs onto the submarine in spite of the DRAGON PULSE. The DHELMISE uses WHIRLPOOL, but Raziel Beckett's SHADOW OSBTAGOON manages to overpower it. The DHELMISE is forced to detach from the submarine. After, Niola Winchester fires her gun at THEO BECKETT and Raziel Beckett (Noodles and King can decide if it hits them). [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Grigori Sokolov is thrown into the sea by KYOGRE., but june sleigh saves him. She hauls him over MIRAIDON's back. On her dragon, she "drives" toward the eastern side of the city to witness the following: [attr="class","prompt0"] Fenelle Miller's GRIMMSNARL is switched in. Der GRIMMSNARL uses SPIRIT BREAK successfully on annalise henderson's MEW!PALKIA, the brute force enough to lower its offenses. [attr="class","prompt0"] Alba Evovae is severely harmed by MATIAS SILPH and annalise henderson. To retaliate, his ETERNAL FLOETTE uses LIGHT OF RUIN. When used by its originator, LIGHT OF RUIN becomes a devastating attack. It forces annalise henderson's MEW!PALKIA to SPATIAL REND it, but with lowered offenses, a residual beam from LIGHT OF RUIN manages to strike the MEW!PALKIA. [attr="class","prompt0"]As the blizzard fades from the HARSH SUNLIGHT, jayden cross returns to the fight with CHIEN-PAO. He attempts to stab MATIAS SILPH with a ICE SPEAR while CHIEN-PAO uses RUINATION on the man. [attr="class","prompt0"] Josh Devlin is influenced by ENVY and HATRED. As jayden cross attempts to assassinate the Elite Four, Josh Devlin's DRAGONAIR soars to save him. The DRAGONAIR is struck by the spear and the RUINATION and dies protecting MATIAS SILPH. [attr="class","prompt0"] illeana reyes and PALKIA emerge behind MATIAS SILPH to defend him. PALKIA uses SPATIAL REND to try and defend annalise henderson's MEW!PALKIA. The SPATIAL REND manages to clash against a resolute Hitoshi Inoue's GALLADE's SACRED SWORD and Makoto Kurumi's ALOLAN NINETALES' SPRINGTIDE STORM that are aimed for the hurting MEW. [attr="class","prompt0"]Angered, fern delaney's ✨TAPU KOKO uses Z-MOVE: PARALYSIS PARRY. Joining its shell together, it takes advantage of Makoto Kurumi and Hitoshi Inoue's attacks and strikes MEW!PALKIA with its "high voltage prods" for devastating damage. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] ameena abadi struggles to free herself from the distortions confines. When she is able, her MEGA EVOLVED GARDEVOIR launches a MYSTICAL FIRE that nearly strikes Yuina Higashi and/or her Pokemon (Eps' choice). [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] lam logan and his TORNADUS break way from Caleb Harcourt. As NECROZMA's Z-MOVE plunges the area in darkness, his TORNADUS attempts to fight back against the suction of the created blackhole. The TAILWIND will allow lam logan to save Yujin Ha from floating into the air. Eventually, lam logan will be able to successfully find the League group comprising of Melody Miro, Yujin Ha, robin coello and ollie morales, seeing the stars of the WYRDEER's Z-MOVE SHIELD. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Gwendolyn Conway's XURKITREE is knocked out by a ROCK SLIDE. As the Ultra Beast topples down the cliffside, Gwendolyn Conway dives to recall it to safety. Desperately, she tries to confess to robin coello before her bodies disappears into the water. Boulders plunge into Gwendolyn Conway's last seen location... and the waters grow red. [attr="class","prompt0"] Elaine Highland's KINGDRA uses HURRICANE to see if they can find Gwendolyn Conway. She attempts to reach out to her... and witnesses a grisly sight (consult with Madda). [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] robin coello calls upon her SINISTEA and assists Melody Miro by using Z-MOVE: BREAD AND CIRCUSES, making all SOUND-BASED MOVES SUPER EFFECTIVE FOR TWO TURNS. [break] [attr="class","prompt0"] Melody Miro thanks her allies ( Yujin Ha, robin coello, ollie morales). She gathers rocks with her abilities and uses them as platforms in mid-air. She SCREAMS and her MELOETTA uses ALLURING VOICE: both attacks land with SUPER-EFFECTIVE DAMAGE on NECROZMA. However, she will eventually be struck or be forced to stop by a CRYSTALLINE TENDRIL or the BLACK HOLE sucking her in.
ROUND FOUR
THE WORLD IS PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS AS A BLACK HOLE FORMS ABOVE. Briefly, the HARSH SUNLIGHT from Shred and MATIAS SILPH shrinks to more localized areas around themselves as the HEAVY RAINS cease. Debris, stone, fallen bodies and Pokemon begin to float upward...[break][break]
Meanwhile, ROCKET'S SUBMARINE resurfaces on the other side of the city thanks to THEO BECKETT and Raziel Beckett's efforts. Lucky civilians scramble down the cliffside to board the submarine as the waters CONTINUE TO RISE.[break][break]
When giada morgan interrupts declan walsh and his DARKRAI, the Boss relays no change in expression. His stoic response is one of unnerving composure.[break][break]
 "you are so brave to engage me alone." The Boss says. He points behind her to Aurelie Lefevre's ROARING MOON. "it is unfortunate for you that i am not."[break][break]
When the PRECIPICE BLADES land, empowered by the surging PRIMAL ENERGY in the city, the rampaging KYOGRE finally stops in its tracks right before the GREAT DYNA TREE. Finally, the Leviathan seems placated. The League & AQUA Initiative's "main objective" seems to have been secured. To stop the SEMI-PRIMAL KYOGRE's rampage. To control the KYOGRE's primal fury...[break][break]
As the ICE RIDER CALYREX readies its lance in case the KYOGRE stirs, but prepares for the wrong thing. Gwyar Wledig's AEGISLASH unleashes its Z-MOVE: EXCALIBUR GALATINE. The unstoppable attack crashes into the GREAT DYNA TREE and gouges its trunk.[break][break]
The Hare King hurls a GLACIAL LANCE at the Mossdeep Gym Leader and his Pokemon as it calls upon the DYNA TREE. Life is extracted from the PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE and should bryan delarosa protest, the ICE RIDER CALYREX will state that it is Rocket's will. That Rocket must make sacrifices to protect itself. To win. The PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE begins to grow weaker once again, and several of its ivory branches, some submerged under the seawaters, begin to crack and splinter off.[break][break]
NECROZMA's BLACK HOLE continues to vacuum all toward it. In the chaos, Mitsuru Kagami loses hold of the BLUE STALACTITE. Her hands burn, the residual and pure PRIMAL ENERGY an unexpected poison. It floats toward the void—but as it passes by KYOGRE... it acts like a SMELLING SALT. The KYOGRE awakens with a violent flail and chomps onto the stalactite...[break][break]
And the KYOGRE, after a suspenseful pause, undergoes PRIMAL REVERSION. The whale rises into the sky, tail trailing like regal ribbons. Organs glow beneath it translucent membranes. Markings stretch across its massive body as the true PRIMAL KYOGRE manifests, now one with the endless sea.[break][break]
HEAVY RAINS AND LIGHTNING resume and scar the sky. Eventually, illeana reyes's SPATIAL INVERSION and Zev Harcourt's NECROZMA's BLACKHOLE will subside. FEAR FLOODS THE BASIN as the sea rises rapidly. The waters consume the entirety of SOOTOPOLIS in water, save for the teeth-like peaks of the crater's rims and the GREAT DYNA TREE's CROWN.[break][break]
Mark Cunningham will be able to detect through SATELLITE COZMO that flooding has begun to impact MOSSDEEP, LILYCOVE, PACIFIDLOG & ROUTE 123. As the waters rise, Rocket Boss communicates to him and the rest of Rocket: "contain the kyogre! sootopolis has prepared for this with xerneas' sacrifice. all pokemon exist for the glory of team rocket."[break][break]
Though the ETERNAL FLOETTE's INFINITY ENERGY may be endless, it is still constrained by capacity. It is a small being unable to sustain lengthy, exorbitant generosity. However, bryan delarosa's XERNEAS—against its own will—is a suitable replacement to replete the DYNA TREE. The ETERNAL FLOETTE and ICE RIDER CALYREX, under declan walsh's orders, have connected the two trees together in a binding parasitism. The PETRIFIED XERNEAS TREE will feed the GREAT DYNA TREE... even at the cost of its own life.[break][break]
The damage Gwyar Wledig's AEGISLASH has dealt the GREAT DYNA TREE stalls the operation. And perhaps, it is due to this heavy strike on the tree and the League's previous attacks on its constitution, that has doomed the PETRIFIED XERNEAS. More INFINITY ENERGY must be spent. Whatever chance the PETRIFIED XERNEAS had of surviving the seawaters and DYNA TREE's siphoning has been eliminated by their efforts.[break][break]
As the green barrier against DYNAMAX flickers, the tree must heal before it is supplied enough INFINITY ENERGY to absorb KYOGRE's deluge. The DYNA FRUIT are already shriveling from salt.[break][break]
For now, should they choose to do so, Zev Harcourt's NECROZMA and MATIAS SILPH's GROUDON will be able to still effectively contest the PRIMAL KYOGRE, keeping it from leaving SOOTOPOLIS' BORDERS. After all, GROUDON understands the pain KYOGRE feels. The incredible power. One day, GROUDON will achieve this primal strength again—but for now, it must subdue its worldly sibling.[break][break]
All soon realize that should the Leviathan escape, the region may be plunged into eternal sea. As it rampages in full, it fires an ORIGIN PULSE that splits into several buds of energy that bomb the flooded city.[break][break]
By DRACONID LINEAGE & RAYQUAZA'S POWER, freya morningstar transforms as dragon. Scales cut through her BLEEDING SKIN and her eyes the MEGA STONES bestowed to her by Eva Morales seem to call to her. Her RAYQUAZA eyes her, beckons for her and the stones. Cold, horrid waters slosh up against their scales, as the RAYQUAZA opens its jaw to swallow each stone whole.[break][break]
And with every stone, the RAYQUAZA begins to transform to protect the snow-white city of Sootopolis. [break][break]
[break][break][break][break][break][break][break][break][break][break]
ROLLING?
FOR THIS ROUND, you MUST ROLL using the roll command. SALAC BERRIES can be used for REROLLS.[break][break]
For this round and in general, low rolls will not always equal failure. Rolls be used to help shiv shape the narrative and determine how intermingling actions pan out.[break][break]
LOW ROLLS may cause your trainer and/or their Pokemon to be struck by PRIMAL KYOGRE'S ORIGIN PULSE.

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 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.
RULES
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES. [break][break]
