WAR OF THE WORLDS: MAUVILLE WARFRONT
POSTED ON Sept 19, 2020 8:22:32 GMT
he's consumed by the penumbra the moment he hears the purr of the engine and the chords of the van's music; a cold rushes that lurches him forth along the length of the cycling road railing, displaced, and neither here nor there. he flickers back into place moments later, a short distance behind the elite four and champion as the former veers off down the curvature of the road.
in those precious seconds, as his head spun with something between vertigo only exacerbated by adrenaline, dominic can't quite make out the minute detail of the guzzlord in front of them, but he can recognise the tell-tale whine of a HYPER BEAM. cursing under his breath, dominic moves west at the corner as the alcremie attached to him raises an optimistic PROTECT; although the guzzlord is aiming more toward the van than them based on where dominic can see it facing, he cannot be sure the of the attack's radius and whether it will clip him from where he stands. ready to take paltry cover behind whatever rubble he can find, dominic turns back to watch the van approach.
dominic realises the people inside won't hear him, but his pokemon should; he whistles to catch the attention of his togekiss, steelix and luxray and then gestures - a sharp flicker of his hand that means danger, move. the togekiss and steelix jerk violently to their left, away from the van and moving diagonally toward their trainer, and luxray follows after lifting itself with MAGNET RISE. as it flutters its wings, togekiss summons a METRONOME in the direction of the van and its occupants, hoping that whatever esoteric power it summons will be able to offer some protection.
before the hyper beam can be fired, but after the leaps of bailey's pokemon, the steelix will raise a STONE EDGE at the perimeter of the road where it curves; a makeshift and meagre attempt to stunt the guzzlord's attack with an angled, rock barrier.
» dominic teleports ahead and curves around the bend to avoid being in the direct line of the guzzlord's HYPER BEAM, his pokemon try to rejoin him » luxray follows the vehicle and uses MAGNET RISE, togekiss uses METRONOME (SUPER LUCK → something protective please...), steelix raises a STONE EDGE at the barrier of the road, alcremie uses PROTECT » SAFEGUARD (2/5), MAGNET RISE (steelix 2/5 | luxray 1/5)
