[attr="class","ihead"]THE BEAST BALL
[break][break]
AS THE SLUDGE RAINS DOWN, Adrian Malcolm's arcanine brings a surreal brightness to this harrowing night. @creepy's corviknight dives sharply. the acid rain does little to harm its steel exterior; instead, it drips thickly like coagulated sewage. underneath the plummeting beast ball, a surge of energy pulses before expanding into a gridded pit: another wormhole.
Balder Schwartz's solgaleo roars, attempting to send the creature from whence it came.[break][break][break]
[break][break]
as
Remiel Calcifet's dragapult
LOCKS ON while his solrock twirls in mid-air, sharpening itself to make it more agile. after
Remiel Calcifet slips into the shadowy portal with his dragon, the two sense something lurking in the darkness. a single cyclops eye peers at them within the umbral walls of their
PHANTOM FORCE. as they emerge, they are accompanied by another force...[break][break][break]
while @nicole's togedemaru flies through the air, electricity gathers with further furor on its rotund body thanks to
Josh Dragomir's raichu. like a comet coursing through debris, the rodent passes through the poisonous rain with little complication.
PIERCE WILDE's scizor punches its way through while
Bailey Cooper's vikavolt manages to agilely navigate the weather toward the beast ball.[break][break][break]
with a howl of
WHIRLWIND and under some acid rain,
Isra Nightingale's noivern blows the beast ball away from the wormhole, aided by
Remiel Calcifet's speedy solrock and its
PSYCHIC; however, acid rain begins to batter against the sun pokemon, causing its grasp to falter. swiftly,
Kazimir Wynter's staryu seizes the opportunity to wrestle it back downward with a potent
PSYCHIC of its own. suspended in the air, @creepy's corviknight is able to snatch the ball in its steel talons. as stones and blade force themselves into the chaos,
Remiel Calcifet emerges with a familiar face to some...[break][break][break]
[break][break]
even
Remiel Calcifet may be surprised. for when he reemerges on the back of his dragapult, the dragon's maw open wide to engulf the beast ball, a flurry of shadows flies from the portal itself. a
burst of purple energy protects the pokemon near the beast ball, the rain dissipating upon impact. although @creepy's corviknight is brave, it lets go of the beast ball to avoid a shadowy claw. the darkrai tears into where the corviknight once was, slamming the beast ball back toward
Remiel Calcifet's dragapult which engulfs it with a decisive chomp.[break][break][break]
on the field,
Balder Schwartz's solgaleo's wormhole remains. it expands larger, engulfing a portion of the night market's rubble.[break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]AGAINST THE RAIN
[break][break]
[break][break]
ALTHOUGH Thomas Benoit's hydreigon is able to forge an earthen canopy for himself and his trainer, the acid rain manages to penetrate some of the wall. it sloughs off onto the dragon, causing it to wail, all three maws and their jaws fall slack as it screams in terrible pain.[break][break][break]
Josh Dragomir's and
Orion Lykos's swamperts attempt to protect their owners from the initial barrage of rain. their
WIDE GUARDS and
PROTECTS, but they too, find that the acid manages to break through. droplets of toxic rain touch their skin and while their raichu and alolan marowak are able to stave off the rain, but their companions begins to cry out in terrible caterwauls of agony.[break][break][break]
persephone amavi's reuniclus and drifblim provide aid for the elite four and
Noelle Lane, who has situated herself among them. a shimmering
LIGHT SCREEN and
PROTECT are able to shield them from the falling rains. likewise,
Adrian Malcolm's vileplume, under the shining sun, grows to soak in the toxins from above. furthermore,
Lucas Lane's aegislash is able to protect him and his trainer; however, his machoke is able to cover
Lucas Lane's body from a stray pouring of poison as it slides off the curve of the ghost pokemon's shield. it too, screams in an otherworldly pain.[break][break][break]
as
kyle lopez returns to the field, his dragalage preemptively adapts to the rain in time; however, thanks to the protection provided by
noah faber's crabominable and his unfezant, the rest of his pokemon are shielded. however,
noah faber witnesses his unfezant falter under the immense sludge. the
DETECT breaks, and the bird falls to the ground, feathers clumped together in poisons as it writhes.[break][break][break]
while
Bailey Cooper's krookodile successfully digs a hole for them to shield themselves in,
Kazimir Wynter's solrock provides him with sturdy
ROCK SLIDE shield. the pokenger is safe- for now.[break][break][break]
Ruby Walker's gothorita sees the same fate. for now, the
threads of their destiny have not changed yet. her mega-evolved hatterene attempts to shield themselves from the acid onslaught; however, the surge of rain is far too much to handle alone. as the acid rain cuts through the
PSYCHIC, the hatterene begins to shriek from the sheer pain engulfing its body. immediately, it reverts to its original form as
Ruby Walker's gardevoir attempts to heal the hatterene, for the rain has passed.[break][break][break]
[break][break]
in the air,
Alexei Ivanov is not so lucky. he takes the full brunt of the rain himself, for his sableye can not withstand the mass amount of rain this close. although his pidgeot attempts to save themselves with a powerful
HURRICANE, the
SUNNY DAY weakens its potency. the gym leader and his pokemon are seemingly submerged in the purple wave. violently, like damaged aircraft, they begin to plummet like rocks. everyone would be able to witness
Alexei Ivanov's dramatic plunge before they are obscured by debris... in the background, people would be able to hear the sound of a severe collision and the scattering of rubble.[break][break][break]
the following pokemon are in severe pain and immediate action must be taken to save them: PIERCE WILDE's dragapult,
Lucas Lane's machoke,
Isra Nightingale's noivern,
Alexei Ivanov's sableye,
Ruby Walker's hatterene,
Thomas Benoit's hydreigon,
Orion Lykos's swampert,
Josh Dragomir's swampert,
Stormy Silph's charizard,
noah faber's unfezant,
Olivia Abbiati's sharpedo, @bean2's ampharos.[break][break][break]
on the ground, the rain sizzles, eating holes in the broken tiling of the market.[break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]VS. NIHILEGO-DAHLIA
[break][break]
[break][break]
the following actions happen in rapid succession.
[break][break][break]
mateo martinez ENTERS THE FRAY, following
kyle lopez and his teleporting cosmog. as his arcanine yelps, casting a
SAFEGUARD around the mega-evolving sceptile. they cry out to each other, the
HELPING HANDS empowering them as they weave through the missiles of acid rain. through the
OMINOUS WINDS of
Olivia Abbiati's jellicent, the mega-sceptile penetrates through, landing a terrible blow on to
dahlia goode's nihilego-shell with a
LEAF BLADE. the rocky carapace cracks.[break][break][break]
following up,
Olivia Abbiati's mega sharpedo attempts to
AQUA JET an opening for
kyle lopez; however, it forces it in the way of @bean2's and
marie jules' pokemon's
DRAGON PULSES. its
PSYCHIC FANGS clench tight as the attack launches the sharpedo into the rainfall. it snarls, the mega evolution fading as the toxins seep into its rough skin.
Olivia Abbiati's jellicent is able to
WRING OUT dahlia goode's body, the
CURSED BODY allowing it penetrate the otherworldly make of
dahlia goode's nihilego body.[break][break][break]
[break][break]
as the body is pulled out,
mateo martinez's arcanine leaps toward them with its empowered strength. with a desperate howl, the canine
MIMICS the attacks of its companion, launching the nihilego's body back before the tentacles can take
dahlia goode (or anyone else) again. to add insult to injury, @nicole's soaring togedemaru, with its
SPIKY SHIELD, slams it back even further.[break][break][break]
there is a moment for
kyle lopez to acknowledge
Olivia Abbiati and
mateo martinez's assistance before cosmog teleports them back with
dahlia goode's body. unbeknownst to them,
marie jules'
joltik manages to come along for the ride.[break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]THE BOMB
[break][break]
Annie Mei's YANMEGA PROVIDES HERSELF and her type:null with
ANCIENT POWER. the cover holds, miraculously. the poison seeps through a melted hole, narrowly missing her body- but beginning to melt the soles of her shoes. as she yells for the ball, her starmie begins to shift the bomb on the lighthouse with
PSYCHIC.[break][break][break]
as
Adrian Malcolm's gyarados
DRAGON DANCES,
Noelle Lane's gyarados aids in the effort. a shrieking
HYPER BEAM slams into the bomb, shifting it upwards.
FERNANDO SILPH's tapu fini enlarges itself dramatically, planting itself on a gargantuan yellow body. it strikes the bomb upward, obliterating a chunk off of the lighthouse as
Stormy Silph follows up with a mega-charged
SOLAR BEAM, pushing it even higher. the night sky, already illuminated by
Adrian Malcolm's
SUNNY DAY, becomes blindingly bright for a moment. unfortunately, during the attack
Stormy Silph's wadjet is pelted by the last remnants of rain. its mega-evolved form fades as the toxins seep into its body...[break][break][break]
everyone seems to perceive that this would not have been possible if the ball was at its original size... and without such powerful attacks. despite the extraterrestrial nature of its creation, the laws of this land must still be followed. the bomb begins to fall from its tall height, reaching terminal velocity almost immediately. those who check the time will find that there are only
five minutes until midnight.[break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]A DESPERATE ATTEMPT
[break][break]
[break][break]
ROCKETS WHO HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION about the nihilego
cadis von klaussner had encountered will realize that this creature is much larger... andmuch more bestial than what the report has shown. however, the poison rain seems less toxic to some extent. it's as if the larger it is, the less potent the poison is. this nihilego, empowered by its previous host, is frenzied. violent. and with a raise of its tentacles, its whole body glows. those closest to the nihilego or with the most attention paid to it (
Orion Lykos,
Olivia Abbiati,
marie jules, @bean2,
mateo martinez,
kyle lopez) would see that the beast is attempting to target the expansive wormhole (
Balder Schwartz) in the middle of the night market.[break][break][break]
the ground begins to morph, shift... and glow. suddenly, the earth erupts in a wave of jutting rock (like waves of stone edges). it attempts to tear through anything in its way as before attempting to cover up the wormhole.[break][break][break]
