BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS

INSIDE THE SEA BASIN POKEMON

Even inside, the Councilwoman would be able to feel the revelatory thrum of war. Residual brine soured by blood and storm careens past her ankles before crawling back timidly toward the Kyogre's guts.

However, in this humid darkness, she will catch the blue light of the stalactite. It calls to her too, as it once did for skyler dross. Like the RED ORB that calls for MATIAS SILPH. Like the secret other in another man's hand.

Somewhere in the whale, the stalactite of endless azure cries. Embedded against the whale's flesh as if this were its original cave, the primal javelin drips. The light of it captures freya morningstar's eye as it glimmers like the Tera Crystals infecting the land. But there is no imagination required for it to work. No ambition or self-destructive desire. Just nature and the natural order of all things.

Every time the Kyogre attacks or weathers injury, the stalactite glows. Thrums. Calls again.

[break]

blackened flesh curls and drips from a scaled hide. the monstrous roar sputters as more blood swells through breaking insides, ichor tainting every part of her mortality. memories implode and she shakes her head in agony, spraying more blood with each swing. mangled, unrecognizable hands scratch at the stretching, peeling skin on her face.[break][break]

then a blue light pulses and the dragon's eyes sharpen.[break][break]

a bottomless curse, a bottomless sea.

[break][break]

one lurching step takes her closer, and then another. golden scales embrace her as she resists, squeezing muscle to action. that dulcet glow drapes over her twisted limbs, assuaging the burn of her god's betrayal; each lap of the salty sea assures her in minute whispers that it was not a betrayal at all. [break][break]her reflection unspools and with every stride she witnesses another self's rebirth - bathed in the waters of her ancestors, stripped of the meat holding her together to unveil a forgotten spirit yearning to be known.[break][break]

'there are pieces of our history in hoenn. you need only turn over the right stones. seek your birthrights. reclaim your home.' *

[break]

in this deep and unfathomable sea, she reaches for the light.

"we have matters to discuss." The Boss says, surveying the wretched configuration of freya morningstar's body. "i promise that afterward, your foul dragon heart will get what it wants. lamentably, i possess no power to untangle your fate from kyurem's prophecy."[break][break]

He gestures to her claws, her horrid fangs.[break][break]

[break]claws hover a hair's breath from salvation, blood-soaked tears marring her flayed face. but corruption slithers through this hallowed earth, manifesting as a shade made human, calling her by what she is. peeled apart by human cadence are the whispering snarls of dragons, the chanting of her people.[break][break]

pieces of her humanity return.[break][break]

her lips curl and her jaw shifts, furious in the face of blasphemy. red trickles through stained white fangs. fate. prophecy. manacles and strings - all she ever wanted before she found all she ever needed. her laughter is a strangled growl, as energy holds fast, humming through her veins. [break][break]

this is the monster who took her home. [break][break]

her promise is disjointed, broken, but it trembles with the tenor of her god. "you, who've hurt my people - i'm going to fucking kill you now."

[break]every light must have its shadow.[break][break]

her form sways, scales rippling under her flesh. each passing second that she persists burns another off her lifeline, but her people are drowning and her city is in ruins and here stands a wraith of bloodshed, a terror brandishing the untold future for false protection.[break][break]

even if it were true, she is no peacemaker. her glare is malicious. muscles groan, straining against coiled back legs. her tongue trails over her teeth.[break][break]

"then excuse me while i test your prophecy," she hisses, spitting viscera as she lunges, jaw snapping wide to clamp around his throat.

like the kyogre had lunged for her, she lunges for walsh's neck. however, just as her fangs close around his lily-white skin, the kyogre yaws violently. she's torn from the murderous movement. and the two are forced to stumble on damp, salty ground. [break][break]

any other attempt made would be graced with another providential interruption: a slip on wet cartilage. a sudden dive and ascent.[break][break]

though walsh does not show it, a wave of relief flushes throughout his body. he had gambled. and won.[break][break]

this indeed, is a FIXED POINT IN TIME. Yuina Higashi and her CELEBI will also completely understand this to be true too.[break][break]

gnashing teeth snap against air and dig instead into the malleable meat of her mouth. pain is a welcome blossom, fueling every rake of her claws, every attempt to grapple him to the ground so she can slake the fury festering in the back of her throat. but fate's intervention glances off her each and every blow. she staggers back, breathing hard.[break][break]

some of her scales have begun to wither.[break][break]

"don't patronize me, wraith," she manages around her fangs. wounded pride worms to wasted hatred, but under the rot in her flesh, burrowed in the bones, is the true entity she feeds in the face of a future with no choices of her own.[break][break]

it touches the edges of her vision and she is reminded of what it means to be afraid.[break][break]

walsh does not react to the draconic. instead, he grows weary and responds to what he comprehends.[break][break]

"then do not waste my time."[break][break]

sootopolis is in peril. the core of hoenn's rocket is drowning. there is still much work to be done. while a covert Naomi Sato aspires to save the world beyond faction lines, the rocket boss views this war far past simple "victories" and "defeats".[break][break]

what will come next is far more interesting and far more delectable, for hoenn still possesses many mysteries. both new and old.[break][break]

"i thought morales would be where you are standing now." the boss says. "but the prophecy is far more literal than i thought. 'the dragon must return to its snow white lair'."[break][break]

he stares at the aberration.[break][break]

"to return to sootopolis, it must remain in one piece." [break][break]

the kyogre roars, the winds of its ancient voice coursing through its body. he gestures at the blue stalactite.[break][break]

"i have been monitoring this artifact for a long time, but i have refused its natural purpose. i have toiled laboriously to prevent the formation of its stalagmite. only through that can a new blue orb be formed." the boss says. "with no blue orb to contain it, there is only one option."[break][break]

he points his gloved finger at her.[break][break]

"you, so burdened by rayquaza's blessing, you alone can calm the kyogre." he says. "however, controlling the kyogre is no one-time endeavor. no, this is a sustained labor. a sentence decreed by nature and forced by my long planned stratagems. to stop kyogre means to save my city and to save hoenn... but it also means, you will be rooted here among enemies. forced to return and return and return to sootopolis stone to placate the kyogre and make business with the ones you so unfairly despise."[break][break]

slit pupils narrow further. her head tilts and starlit hair spills over one thickly armored shoulder. kyurem's grating voice, like fingernails to ice, is a draconic snarl behind every echoed prophetic word. walsh is as a predator, languid in his surety.[break][break]

her gaze darts uneasily to the blue stalactite, and she is forced to hesitation by fate's tempering of her flame. what choice has she now but to listen to him? the future, shrouded in his shadows, makes her bristle. more scales flake away, wilting in blood.[break][break]

"unfairly despise." her smile is cruel.[break][break]

"and if i don't, then your meddling won't have cost hundreds their lives. it will cost millions. it will be the end of everything. the primordial sea, swallowing hoenn whole."[break][break]

she cannot strip him of fate's cloak, but she can plunge her talons into her own heart to see their end.[break][break]

"and to return to sootopolis, the dragon must also remain in one piece. so tell me why," she says and blue light pulses against her back, the silhouette of her long arm. her claws flex, shifting inward. metal shivers as her sygna suit folds away from her chest. exposed, blood soaks the front of her shirt as she carves into her flesh, fingers clenched around her rampantly beating heart. her eyes are molten gold. [break][break]

"tell me why you fight, declan walsh."

"but my meddling will not cost millions of lives, will it?" walsh says, each syllable a calculated stroke of some crisp, dried brush. "you and i know what choice you must make. the choice you will make."[break][break]

the question arrives, expectant of an answer as complex as its own make. however, his response is a simple one:[break][break]

"i fight for team rocket, of course."[break][break]

he gestures again to the stalactite. it drips its poison, its endless blue foreseen by robin coello.[break][break]

"it is sootopolis too, that must remain intact." the rocket boss says. "now get on with it. fate will guide you when instinct can not."[break][break]

and when she touches the blue stalactite with her bloodied hands, the city's fate will change. he withholds words for her: an ominous warning to consecrate their departure.[break][break]

it's a choice she would make a thousand and one times over, in every iteration of her being, with every construction of what makes her her at the molecular level. freya morningstar, who has shouldered her burdens alone, who has bowed and broken - who has since been found. loved and remade.[break][break]

risen, ascendant.[break][break]

she will not fail her people again.[break][break]

blue light bathes her ruined face and walsh becomes her shadow, stretching long against the innards of this divine beast. her hand rips free from her chest, away from her squelching, shuddering heart; slicked wet with blood, she seals the pact with a snarl.[break][break]

i'm sorry, she thinks, but not to him. to the people she loves. to the people who will lose parts of her to this sacrifice, and whom she pray will understand, in the end, that there was never any other choice.[break][break]

unspoken, as the world turns and burns around her, kindles a promise in her foul dragon heart - one day, when they are no longer bound by this twisted game of fate, her teeth will tear out his throat.

BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS MAIN EVENT

FLASH RAID

[attr="class","topocorner"]

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"]freya morningstar is swallowed by PRIMAL KYOGRE after being struck by Victoria Beckett's ARCTOVISH.

[attr="class","prompt0"]Inside the whale, she sees the BLUE STALACTITE Mitsuru Kagami and Aurelie Lefevre discovered deep within the CAVE OF ORIGIN.

[attr="class","prompt0"]declan walsh teleports into the PRIMAL KYOGRE to engage with freya morningstar. She attempts to kill him, but this event has become a FIXED POINT IN TIME that involves declan walsh's survival. Yuina Higashi and CELEBI can now confirm that this is a FIXED POINT on the new timeline.

[attr="class","prompt0"]declan walsh explains to freya morningstar that KYUREM'S PROPHECY has foretold of her return to Sootopolis and that she plays a pivotal role in calming PRIMAL KYOGRE due to her DRACONID blood and bond with RAYQUAZA.

[attr="class","prompt0"]declan walsh also explains that he has been tampering with the creation of a new BLUE ORB by removing the stalagmite build-up beneath the BLUE STALACTITE in the CAVE OF ORIGIN. It is implied that the STALAGMITE helps form the actual BLUE ORB.

[attr="class","prompt0"]freya morningstar reluctantly agrees to save Sootopolis and Hoenn as a whole. She will be forced to return to Sootopolis continuously to calm the PRIMAL KYOGRE due to the absence of a proper BLUE ORB. Through this exchange, it is implied that the PRIMAL KYOGRE will not be able to leave Sootopolis City. Furthermore, it is implied that Team Rocket and the League will hold onto Sootopolis together due to this arrangement.

[attr="class","prompt0"]By the end, freya morningstar interfaces with the BLUE STALACTITE with her bloody hand, fulfilling the VISION robin coello saw with her newly awakened PSYCHIC POWERS.

MEANWHILE...

OUTSIDE OF THE KYOGRE, the submerged city is further drowned in the chaos of battle. Trainers and their Pokemon strive to survive the risen waters amongst unfolding, shared dramas.[break][break]

paxton concordas has killed the ICE RIDER CALYREX—but for how long? The GREAT DYNA TREE shines a green as bright as the MEGA RAYQUAZA contesting the PRIMAL KYOGRE. As the PETRIFIED XERNEAS sacrifices itself, the GREAT DYNA TREE begins to siphon the gallons of water through its roots.[break][break]

Slowly, the waters descend... and unbeknownst to all, save for Aurelie Lefevre, should she be near it, the CALYREX slowly begins to resurrect...[break][break]

INSTRUCTIONS

[attr="class","topocorner"]

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.

RULES

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

SPOILER: Click to show

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.

He was truly… and literally, out of his element here.

(Maybe he should’ve gone to another part of this insanity, instead. Problem is, he was already here, and he wasn’t exactly sure how to intervene in this battle between behemoths. How powerless he felt against all these titans clashing together, making the heavens, the sea, and the very earth itself rumble.)

The comm lines were all a scramble, however there was one particular part that set him on edge—wasn’t that la idiota—

Wait, Lars, focus! Don’t get distracted!

Hissing as he stayed on his Metagross’s back, he realized that if there was an opening; it was a very small one—he wanted to swap his Pokémon out however he knew that his best chance of survival lay with his Metagross. There was… there was nothing else to it, really.

“Ro. Help me here.”

Hoping that he wasn’t going to screw any of this shit up, he would Mega Evolve the shining silver beast; the transformation temporarily blinding him as the light exploded out of the silver beast and gave rise to his more powerful form.

“Greyson!” he would bellow in the other man’s direction. “Point me where you need to go, tell me what you need done and I’ll do it.”

He would have to bite down the pain from his left arm; but that was what he was out here for anyway.

• B-2
• no time for another meltdown!
• injury: left arm; indeterminate if there’s anything broken but it hurts like a fucker to move too suddenly (unknown if any blood loss is involved)
• mega evolves Metagross; gives Greyson his full trust for him to do whatever else is needed in case the other is too busy
• Mimikyu not listed because Mimikyu is KO’d
