THE TRAIN STATION

[attr="class","aname2"]

BATTLEFRONT #2

[attr="class","ipad"]

DESCRIPTION

[break][break]
00:00: slateport train station is new infrastructure developed under the guidance and insistence of the previous league commissioner, bernard matheson. at midnight, civilians are busily cramming into the last trains, with many bound for mauville city. however, the chaos of the rocket invasion has made the single-level train station an absolute nightmare of trampling crowds. professor creighton has boarded one of the trains already, attempting to make his escape to mauville.[break][break]

NOTES:[break]
- the trains are magnet/maglev trains. the previous commissioner was inspired by johto's designs and borrowed them for hoenn.[break]
- there are four tracks, side by side.[break]
- battles on the trains are encouraged; you may want to explore battling on moving trains as well.[break]
- mods will determine the condition of the station and the trains if there are attacks on their structure.[break][break]

OBJECTIVES

[break][break]
LEAGUE:[break]
a) help civilians evacuate via the trains. there are four trains left.[break]
b) provide safe passage for professor creighton to mauville city. he's on train #4.[break][break]
ROCKET:[break]
a) stop as many trains as possible to prevent civilians from escaping.[break]
b) capture professor creighton alive. he's on train #4.[break]
[break][break]

[break][break]

[break][break]

GUIDELINES:

[break][break]

this is an invasion event, marking rocket's first deliberate attack on the region. be dramatic, make it tense, and battle!
for plot purposes, rocket will be successful in the overall invasion, but the league can potentially prevail in a thread.
you have a choice of which battlefront you want to participate in. do you join the thread where your character and their pokemon can play to their strengths, or do you join a thread to even out the numbers for your faction?
you can only put one character in each thread. however, since the threads all happen at the same time, you can move your character to a different thread if you so wish, but please consult staff before doing that.
you can only bring six pokemon; three pokemon out at one time.
your pokemon can only do two actions per pokemon per mod round.
there's a forty-eight hour posting rule before every mod round.
you can only post three times per character in each mod round.
this event is death-enabled, but will not feature rolls.
remember to include a tl;dr of your actions in your posts
a link to the main event thread with more information can be found here.

[attr="class","frlastcontmid"]

It was a fucking mess.[break][break]

Bailey can feel her heart race in her chest as she guided Professor Crieghton to the nearest available train. The number four was plastered to the side of its slick design, marking its number in her mind. People were pushing; screaming. She could still smell the smoke. She could still feel her hand tremble as she pushed the man along. “Go, go, go–!” Her voice was a sharp whisper.[break][break]

They had to get out of the city. They had to escape Slateport. The newly initiated officer was alone, without her partner. Other League members were soon to arrive. Until then, she was tasked with making sure the Professor could escape; unharmed.[break][break]

Inside the train was not much better. The wailing and the injured were crowding the space with their misery. “Keep close, Teach.”[break][break]

tldr: guarding the professor. helped him board the fourth train. lol this was rushed my bad <3[break][break]

chaos was usual for her. the overbearing determination to override whatever was pleased. the violent out—lashes and the lives that were lost in the process. this scene was a reminder of whom she surrounded herself with. it also reminded her— that it was her duty to do as rocket saw right. as much as she may have protested otherwise in the back of her mind.

the smoke deluged air dissipated into muttering cries of passengers within a train— number four— she thought, keeping it close to everything else of importance. before the intrusion started, min had been keeping her eye on the professor. with every consistent distraction, it made it simpler to fuse into the mass without being suspected.

a girl kept guard before the target. despite the turmoil that was tormenting both league and rocket alike, she appeared as persistent as min was in her own work. flooding company forced her forward and into the pair with a surprised gasp.

"i-i'm sorry." genuine nature hinted itself across her quiet voice. just partly— she was glad the initiation had been forced. the hood had descended, allowing raven strands to retreat from the coverage. the guiltless kept the face—mask on, loosely bound to the half of her features. it seemed only normal when the air had been tainted by the flare. it was a stark difference from the rest of rocket which so proudly adorned their symbol.

Tae pulled the hood up over his disheveled mess of hair, pushing himself past the congregation of panicked people. His pokeballs rattled in a deep jacket pocket, a hand gloved moving over them to keep them secure. Last thing he needed was some asshole to pickpocket him in the chaos—it's what he would have done a year ago.
[break][break]
For once he was tasked with something of importance to Rocket, and he already hated the responsibility. None of these people mattered to him, just the payout; sans Min, considering their last expedition. But other than that, they were faces he'd forget the night after barring some mess of forced interaction.
[break][break]
His objective was simple, a figure of recklessness that would be utilized for such recklessness. The thicker the crowd became, the rougher be wedged himself between people, incidentally knocking over a man that turned to incite some sort of problem until he saw the shadowed eyes of the rocket grunt leering back down on him. Tae continued a little further before jolting into a gap between two people that were lined for the third train. Thankfully, his appearance afforded him no recourse from the person he cut, and soon he was on the train, standing idle nervously with a pokeball he rolled between his fingers deep within his pocket.

He begins further down fatigues and face mask roughly covering his visage the scar on his cheek just peeking out above the covering as a black bandana hides the elder's hair back. The job was simple capture the professor and prevent civilians from escape and reinforcements from arriving.

And so he's further down from the panicked masses moving down the tracks beside him? Falco and Shen.

"Go."

And they do the former releasing a torrent of rocks each slamming against different parts of the magrail before it's smothered in flames by the latter. He hadn't enough time to prevent all and so he'd focus on one for now. The others he plans to stop manually. Bad news for all conductors in the area.

even within the utter disorder that is the train station she can't help but stand out. a vulnerable figure -- a woman wheel-chair bound with a leg wrapped in plaster -- and yet radiating strength for even the senseless crowd parts to give her way. how could they not? the machamp that pushes her towards the trains has dark eyes that threaten anyone who might consider even bumping into his mistress.

the mistress herself, lillian, regards the chaos with a sharp and steady gaze. while she can't deny that the situation has her heart racing it doesn't show on her face. she needs to make a move but she wont' do so recklessly. she's injured, and the situation came about suddenly. rushing has never been her thing but in this context the need to avoid it is more real than ever.

thankfully, some of the opposition shows their hand almost instantly. if the screams and flying debris don't give them away the light from the flames does. she nods in their direction and machamp steers her towards the new danger.

"slow and steady."

she gives the command with an almost blase coolness. first response isn't now nor has it ever been her job. as they roll cautiously in the direction of the fresh terror she plucks a pokeball from under her jacket. in a flash her butterfree is revealed.

"dust up."

the bug-type's wings begin to darken. STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER slowly coat their surface.

notes:
lillian enters the train station in her wheelchair, pushed by machamp.
notices @creed 's assault on the trains and moves in his direction.
releases butterfree, who begins collecting STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER on its wings.

Man. He had picked the wrong day to take his Jigglypuff out for a walk. When the chaos had first spread Victor had attempted to hide in a cafe, but it soon became apparent that he, much like everyone else needed to flee the area. After all how could the League lose their prized Pokemon Photographer? Somehow he had managed to evade everything thrown his way and had gotten himself on the first train he saw. Now, standing at the very front of the rail, next to an emergency exit door Victor stared in shock at the chaos around him. His Jigglypuff, the pink, frightened Pokemon named Marshamallow was cradled in his arms. God, if he escaped this alive, he was never going to take things for granted again.

A loud boom caught his attention and Victor whipped around, looking out of the window. The battle had made its way here it seemed. A fiery burst of flame lit up the area and Victor nearly shrieked. What the hell was going on?! Scrambling he pulled the emergency response phone from its place on the wall. "Hello?! Hello?! Conductor? Anyone?! Get this thing moving! What are you waiting for?!" When he got no response he dropped the phone. Was there even anyone there? He cradled Marshmallow closer to himself, grabbing at yet another communicator on the wall, this phone labelled train to train emergency contact. This phone dialed to the second train. A loud buzzing sound could be heard as it rang. Would anyone pick up?

victor is in train 01, attempting to call the emergency response phone and is also calling train 02, pls tag if answering either end

bailey was right: it was a fucking mess.

a wave of bodies rushes towards him. he keeps his steady, uncaring pace, pushing against the tide. entire sections move around him as he walks, the appearance of a large green pokemon further instilling the fear, and panic, of those already present and fleeing. lucien smiles. this was his version of customer satisfaction.

lucien muddled around in his mind the foolishness of using public transportation during a catastrophe, as he ascended up the steps and onto platform three. only then did he see that, aside from the torrent of people in mass hysteria, there were no discernible criminals to be found.

"how.. unfortunate." he says in mock disappointment. admittedly, the commotion from afar threatened to pull his attention. he was a fickle man at heart, and only had one immediate goal in mind. a goal that didn't appear could be met here. yet... he continued. recalling the olive behemoth, his feet crossed the boundary between train and platform, boarding the third train subsequently.

if you had asked, he couldn't have explained it. there was a tickle in the back of his mind— an itch he knew, somehow, someway, would be scratched here. grabbing onto the leather strapped ringlet that hung from the ceiling, he glances around curiously, taking in everyone around him.

there were only a few, it seemed. if they had struck an hour earlier, casualties would have been higher. fortunately, they chose some of the last few remaining trains for the night. odd, but, lucien didn't particularly care. amber hues discerned little. those who were in fear of their life huddled closer to the floor in groups, or clung to far-off seats, alone and quiet.

surely, lucien stood out of place; well-dressed with no apparent structure of fear present on his visage. only an amused curiosity. gazing up and past the large windowed door that separated train cars, his gaze fell upon a rather unsavory character. his hand gripping a steel rod to remain upright.

lucien smiled.

» makes his way onto platform three
» boards the third train with a funny feeling
» waiting for it's departure / rocket to appear
» sees the unsavory character @winter2 and smiles to himself.

[attr="class","cmonlyrics"]

[attr="class","cmonbody"]He had only gotten off at this same train station a couple of hours ago, and now Dallas found himself being ushered back towards it. While there were always crowds here, the panic ravaged through it now added a layer of chaos that made the station far more dangerous to be in.

Rocket had arrived.

At first, he had tried to fight against the current of people, but it was useless. He was probably the only one here wanting to go in the opposite direction. Rocket was that direction after all, and as much as he wanted to face them then and there, his efforts were better put towards evacuation. Currently, it was a shambles. Every man for themselves trying to get one of the four trains.

Fletchinder was released, hovering above the panicked crowds. “You mind giving me a lift?” The bird replied with a glare but helped all the same. Grabbing onto his shoulders and giving the man a better view in the air. People would be more likely to listen to a guy that was flying above them, right?

“Everybody listen-” A rumbling and a crash from one of the trains cut off his voice. Not that it would have mattered much considering how much the screaming and shouting drowned it out. Dallas’ mind race as he turned to face the commotion. He hoped it wasn’t Rocket, but when he saw the two attacking Pokémon, it was not unexpected.

“Shit. Drop me there, Hawks.” It was all he needed to ask before he found himself landing in one of the few clear areas on the platform. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to be near the attack if they could help it.

“Bom,” his Slowpoke was released beside him, “put out the fire, please.” His nonchalant tone was similar to the response of the Slowpoke. It gave a yawn and a lazy nod before firing a Water Gun towards the flames to put them out.

He looked towards their trainer, @creed . “I hope you’re just bad at controlling your Pokémon and didn’t actually mean for that to happen.” Eyes glanced back towards the rock that had battered into the train. Barely any time had passed and it looked like Rocket were already working on stopping any escape from this invasion

[attr="class","cmontag"]
@creed @traingoons – 000 – Flew above the crowd. Landed at platform 2. Slowpoke used Water Gun to stop and put out the flames. Spread memes not violence.

BATTLEFRONT 2: TRAIN STATION

POSTED ON Oct 26, 2018 2:06:41 GMT

I am the misery you crave

Ami's heart was pounding, her head spinning. She was standing in the middle of one the cars in train one, in the middle of frantic passengers pushing and panicking. Her small body was being pushed side to side as she held on to a railing for dear life.

Her eyes were squeezed shut as her mind raced through solutions to the problem. To her side, she heard someone attempting to call for emergency help. She felt so weak and helpless.

Apparently one of Ami's pokeballs had fallen out of her bag, crashing onto the floor and releasing her Pancham. It jumped onto her shoulder and pointed her towards the door.

The last thing she wanted to do was leave this car. At least no one had invaded it. Daisy (Pancham) tugged aggressively at her hair. She was always like this; wanting to take action. Ami wasn't a hero. Why did she have to be? But she knew Daisy would do things on her own, brashly, if Ami didn't follow. She heard the cries of a baby.

Maybe, just maybe, she could figure something out if she could make it to the conductor's car. This was so stupid.

Ami gripped her fists a couple times, as if to squeeze out her anxiety. And then, she began to push her way through the crowd. She wasn't determined, but her Pokemon would be for her. And they would protect her. She had to be strong.

She wondered what her parents were doing back home.

elijah picks up the phone. as his tangrowth wreaks havoc behind him, tearing up seats and BINDING civilians, he sighs into the receiver. the plastic meets his cold skin.

"hello, train number two. we have fun here." elijah says, voice foregrounded by screams. "who's this?"

he peers through the train window, the glass smeared by sweaty palms from the outside. pressing a button, the doors to his train slide open. elijah motions for his abominable friend, and she concedes, throwing her playthings back into the jungle of dilapidated seats.

like a bungee cord, the phone extends as he trots one step outside. "need help? i can come find you."

before he finishes his piece, @creed's attack on the rails surges forth.

tl;dr: answers victor evans, attempts to leave train 02.

frenzy ensued within the train. the wave of frantic company left a momentary opening for her to stand on the other side. she kept her eyes upon the pair— hoping they'd not be shoved along. with her fingers sifting into the cover of her pocket, a phone was carefully removed.

a crisp fire was already rising into the place. it was countered by a measure of screams and individuals that decided to run from the station. even through the murky windows, she could tell that rocket was already launching their attack. something that was worth enough for her to take action and allow the rest to discover their target.

the feeble device was beginning to hum the sounds of ringing. she kept it close to her ear, turning opposite from the rest so that the wall was what she faced. "hey," the eventual response kept her voice quiet. thankfully it was just audible despite the noises.

"the fourth train." she says again, begging within the depth of her mind for the other to understand. "spread the word, okay?" the call is severed without warning. min shoves it back into place and turns around. so far none suspect the figure while they are so entangled by the strife that goes on around them.

BATTLEFRONT #2

[attr="class","ipad"]

SUMMARY

[break][break]

Bailey Cooper guards the professor personally, pushing him onto the 4th train.
@min blends in with the crowd, disguising her intentions when she bumps into Bailey Cooper and the professor (4th train).
@winter2 steps between the 2nd and 3rd train, waiting for action.
a disgusted @creed and his pokemon, infernape and archeops, attack the maglev rails (track 2), using ROCK SLIDE and FLAMETHROWER.
LILLIAN GLASS rolls in, pushed by her dreamy machamp. she advances toward @creed and summons her butterfree who dusts its wings with STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER, but does not release the powders yet.
victor evans attempts to call the emergency response phone from train 01. he calls train 02.
@andromeda boards the third train and awaits its departure while waiting for rocket. he sees @winter2.
Dallas Rhodes and his trusty fletchinder fly up above the crowd; his slowpoke WATER GUNS to help put out the ~~memes~~ flames.
@marsh1 is in the middle of one of the cars in train 01, and practices a deep muscle tensing to cope with anxiety. she tries to push her way to the conductor's car.
elijah gardner receives victor evans's call, and is on the tracks (train 02) when @creed attacks them.
@min calls @winter2.

REACTIONS

[break][break]

@creed: your attacks do some track damage to train 2 but not enough to render it completely useless, thanks to quick reactions from one league member to PROTECT the flamethrower. all that needs to be done from the league is to remove the rocks that block the rails.
Dallas Rhodes: your efforts are appreciated as well! it puts out the fires nicely.
@marsh1: you make your way to the front of the cart just in time to stop one rocket member from destroying the controls. he looks to defend himself and attack you so he can fulfill his mission.
Bailey Cooper: the professor is clearly nervous, but he's doing his best to stay cool; when the tensions start to die down just slightly, he turns to you and speaks. "miss cooper, correct? from the ruins mission?"

[break][break]

despite being one of the most crowded places, things are progressing slowly as civilians look to board the various trains. the attacks to the rails on train 2 aren't enough, but it calls for attention from the league to help. with the professor still safe and the majority of the civilians unharmed, it looks as though things might be successful for the league after all.[break][break]

what will rocket do to stop them?[break][break]

NOTES:[break]
- switching pokemon will take one action from both pokemon switching out and switching in.[break]
- players should decide amongst themselves what hits and what doesn't. be reasonable and communicate![break]
- moderators will determine environmental damage.[break][break]

OBJECTIVES

[break][break]

GUIDELINES:

[break][break]

this is an invasion event, marking rocket's first deliberate attack on the region. be dramatic, make it tense, and battle!
for plot purposes, rocket will be successful in the overall invasion, but the league can potentially prevail in a thread.
you have a choice of which battlefront you want to participate in. do you join the thread where your character and their pokemon can play to their strengths, or do you join a thread to even out the numbers for your faction?
you can only put one character in each thread. however, since the threads all happen at the same time, you can move your character to a different thread if you so wish, but please consult staff before doing that.
you can only bring six pokemon.
your pokemon can only do two actions per pokemon per mod round.
there's a forty-eight hour posting rule before every mod round.
you can only post three times per character in each mod round.
this event is death-enabled, but will not feature rolls.
a link to the main event thread with more information can be found here.

"Doctor spotted on train 4." Logan communicated out to all of the Rocket there as he walked onto the train. He had an earpiece that was thankfully covered by his hood. He looked like a regular person, not a Rocket member. He had on a white hoodie and some slacks for pants. He seemed like a regular Slateport City slums resident.

Logan recognized the woman the professor was with. Wasn't she apart of that ruins mission that he went on before? She was a league member, if Logan could remember.

Great, now he needed to deal with her before he could procure the professor. Well... there seemed to be only one thing he could do then.

With one hand in his pocket, he started to make his way over to the woman and the professor. Keeping his head down, he got as close as he could. And, when the woman started having a conversation with the professor, he lunged at her.

Logan would suddenly strike her. He wouldn't do it with a pokemon, though, or a blunt weapon. Instead, Logan would use a taser. He would get up close to her and attempt to taser her body and bring her down in a swift motion.

> Logan secretly lets everyone know that the professor is in train 4.

> Logan attempts to taser Bailey

Her heart was racing, big brown eyes glittered with thrill underneath her shades. Her huge grin was masked underneath her bright pink bandana. Her fingers gripped tightly at Apollo's fur as she clung to the beast as he bounded through the wrecked city. Chaos was all around her and it delighted Jordyn. They were invading the city and every part of her was happy to be a part of it. She had been assigned to the train station by the higher ups. She could hear the commotion buzzing through the communicator in her ear. Apparently the doctor was spotted on train four. She didn't know why he was so important they'd keep him alive, but she was sure Team Rocket would get their due use out of the doctor. Right now she had one job and that was destroy everything.

The Arcanine bounded into the train station. Screams and cries of panicked civilians ranged through her ears like sweet music as her eyes scanned the perimeter. Everyone was trying to board the trains to escape the city, but Team Rocket had made their orders very clear - prevent them from escaping by any means necessary. She just knew to keep her pokemon from blowing up the fourth train. The last thing she wanted to do was disobey orders.

Jordyn leaped off of Apollo, reaching into her sparkly fanny pack snapped across her waist and pulled out two pokeballs. The balls enlarged with two clicks and she tossed them in the air, releasing her vicious Zweilous, Bahamut, and bubbly Azumarill, Aurora. She was glad she had briefed all of her pokemon earlier, as the two were not distraught nor intimidated by the noise and commotion around them. Now it was time to fuck some shit up.

"Apollo, Flare Blitz on train one. Bahamut, Dragon Rush on train two. Aurora, Superpower on train two. Knock it right off its tracks." She instructed them through the chaos, hoping the other grunts would be trying to secure the doctor. Her pokemon bounded off towards the respective trains were pretty much alongside one another. Apollo leaped at the first train, it's body erupting into flames as he propelled himself like a missile at the train. He wasn't aiming to knock it down on it is side, no, he was trying to rocket himself straight it and completely destroy it. What was a few lives lost in the process? He couldn't help but think to himself, ignoring the screams of the civilians caught in the crossfire of his flames as he ripped through them like tissue paper. Aurora's eyes glowed as her body was outline in a red aura. She could feel the power coursing through her body as she prepared her attack, looking to the dragon-type beside she waited on his mark. Bahamut body erupted into a blue dragon shaped aura that encased his body. His two heads roared in unison as he was launched by the force of the dragon rush. Aurora followed in suite as the two propelled themselves into the train, trying to knock it right off its tracks.

[OCC: Jordyn joins the mayhem. Extravagant entrance. Apollo the Arcanine uses Flare Blitz on train one in an attempt to destroy it. Bahamut the Zweilous and Aurora the Azumarill uses Dragon Rush and Superpower on train two respectively. Let the fun begin.]
