Preliminary Report on the Route 119 Incident

Submitted by CADET Rowan Wrynn to ollie morales on XX SEPTEMBER 2023.

This report is an individual testimony to cover the events that unfolded under a blood moon in Route 119, presented to Head Ranger ollie morales to be distributed as necessary. 

In the interest of recovering missing persons in the swamps outside of Fortree City, a two search parties were formed in order to thoroughly scour the mire. These search parties were comprised of members of the League, known individuals within Team Rocket and civilian volunteers. For the duration of this search and rescue, a mutual cooperation between those affiliated with the two opposing factions was agreed upon, a temporary ceasefire.

During the initial stages of the search, our focus was on reports of a crazed creature that lurked in the area, which would later be determined to be a variant form of Ursaluna new to the region (or perhaps old?). This Pokémon will hereby be referred to as the 'Bloodmoon Ursaluna'.[break][break]

While tracking the Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a number of desiccated corpses were discovered in the swamplands. A cursory investigation of the bodies revealed a likeness of Junichi Sato and Minako Sato, two of the missing individuals, though without a more thorough search the identities were inconclusive at the time.[break][break]

It was at this time roughly half the searching party found themselves under siege from what we thought at the time were 'undead', later known to be Megalopolans in disguise. Following the attackers and the path of the Bloodmoon Ursaluna, we arrived at an underground cavern where all present were assailed by Nihilego seemingly in control of the Megalopolans.[break][break]

With the threat quelled, the search party split once more into divergent paths. The team I belonged to searched what will henceforth be known as 'Path One'. It was on Path One that myself and a few others encountered aggressive Dhelmise beneath the waters, attempting to drown those captured. As such, the events immediately proceeding this attack are unclear.[break][break]

Once our team had surfaced on the other end, we discovered the missing persons caged in what can only be assumed to be Megalopolan material. Among them was one Spencer Modell, who upon release was revealed to be yet another disguised Megalopolan. [break][break]

It was at this time that the search team had uncovered the Megalopolan plan to escape upon a craft dubbed the 'Quastor Lucis II'. At this time I took the lead on preventing the Megalopolan invaders from boarding the craft, assisted by Aidan Hereford and DESIREE BLOOMS. [break][break]

The combined effort of the search party allowed us to abscond with the vessel, leaving the invasive Megalopolans stranded in the swamp. It as at this time I can confirm an incursion upon Hoenn by the Megalopolans and their Ultra Beasts, furthered as the direct result of our commandeering their escape.[break][break]

In the aftermath, the 'Quastor Lucis II' disappeared once we had managed a landing, it's current whereabouts are unknown. It was at this time I decided to make an expedited exit from the area, fearing retribution from the members of Team Rocket present as the ceasefire ended.
