OCTOBER EVENT PT2
OCTOBER EVENT PT2
premise ⬥ taken ⬥ faq ⬥ navigation
→ THE BEGINNING
(click to expand - happy early Halloween)
It's on the evening of October 28th when everything quickly descends into madness.It begins with faint static in the air, gradually becoming louder and louder until it's impossible to ignore, the pattern of cries that was once hidden now audible to everybody as it grows and grows until it culminates in an explosion. The walls of the local bookstore burst outwards, a rampaging Hydreigon within unleashing Hyper Beam after Hyper Beam without any rest in between. Its trainer, an old man, hobbles up to it in a panic in order to ask what's wrong, but the Pokemon knocks him to the ground, ignoring him and continuing to destroy everything in its path while its trainer lies motionless on the ground, blood pouring from his head.
Further down the street, another eruption shakes the city, a group of Galarian Rapidashes slamming themselves against walls and windows until they break through, careening and crashing through buildings with wild abandon. Occupants inside a cafe scream as they attempt to flee, crushed under rubble and trampled by merciless hooves. From the sky, Murkrows and Natus swoop down on residents on the streets, long talons outstretched to claw at any exposed skin and pluck out any staring eyes. All around the city, Pokeballs burst open on their own and the Pokemon rush madly at human and Pokemon alike, disregarding orders or pleads from their trainers and attacking anything within sight in a wild frenzy.
Fires blaze across the city as children wail and adults scream. All the while, the pattern of cries continues...
→ THE RAMPAGE
(click to expand - you're in for a bad time)
Throughout the night, dark, ghost, and psychic-type Pokemon rampage throughout Mango City. Wild Pokemon appear from the outskirts of town and attack anyone and anything on sight, while companion Pokemon force themselves out of their balls and turn upon their trainers. No other types seem to be affected, the other Pokemon just as confused and distraught as the humans as they're forced to run from, defend against, and fight the Pokemon they were once allied with.While many of the mad Pokemon physically assault those around them, other use innate abilities to wreak havoc. Musharnas emit a dark mist that engulfs entire beings and brings their fears to reality, forcing all those within the fog to face the same delusions. At the same time, Shedinjas steal souls away in their shells and keep them captive in a shared endless nightmare of their worst experiences relived. Similarly, Beheeyems cause those nearby to reexperience their most feared and hated moments, erasing all memory after that moment in order to trap their victims in that vulnerable mindset of the past. Meanwhile, Zoroarks trap their targets within grand illusions that force them to undergo a series of deaths over and over again, causing them excruciating pain and suffering while their physical bodies continue to live. Haunters phase in and out of walls to surprise and lick their victims, sapping years off their life and causing a frigid shivering that won't stop until they wither away, and Gengars loom in the shadows, sapping heat away from its surroundings and causing the small and the weak to slowly freeze to death. Umbreons spray poisonous sweat all over the street, causing people to choke and convulse if they stay too long near the toxic areas, and Cofagriguses drag humans into their coffins and wrap them up as mummies, bound so tightly nobody can hear them scream. No amount of pleading nor bargaining will cause any of them to stop; the only option left is to defeat them in battle, either by killing them or knocking them out.
It'd be kinder to do the latter, but in the heat of the moment, it's difficult to hold back. It's desperate times, after all, as the city streets soon begin to fill with the cold and still bodies of both Pokemon and humans.
→ HELP...?
(click to expand - is anyone even sane enough left to help)
At the outskirts of town bordering the forest, herds of Stantler lead the unaffected and helpless deeper into the forest into an area where the trees are so densely packed that even the shine of the moon can't break through. The only source of light are the small Litwicks that scurry towards the humans, smiling and holding out their little hands. Follow them. They'll keep you safe(?).Perhaps it's time to abandon the city, where the fires continue to grow and rage throughout the streets, threatening to engulf entire neighborhood blocks. The hospital and Pokemon Center get repurposed to disaster zones as the doctors and nurses struggle to treat their patients while fending off rampaging Pokemon at the same time. Mari's large Steelixes wrap themselves around the buildings to become iron walls keeping the wild Pokemon out, but even their great defense struggles against the never ending attacks.
In the midst of the ongoing disaster, the radio tower remains undamaged and completely abandoned, untouched by the rampaging Pokemon outside. The receptionist has fled long ago, leaving the front doors open but the door to the stairs and the elevator up remaining locked. The tower stands empty and silent, completely free of the static and pattern of cries playing outside, the one place of reprieve from the hell that has descended upon Mango City.

[Surely, someone's growing genetically engineered giant berries.]
We can ask the front desk!
no subject
[ If it's not destroyed already. ]
Let's go ask!
[ Time to go back to the front desk...! ]
no subject
Hmm.
[Toki ponders for half a second before turning to Fai.]
We can gather a ton of little berries and glue them together into one giant berry and the screaming Pokemon won't know until he gets to close to them and he'll think it's a giant one and bam! We got him!
no subject
...Let's try to find Niko first. Maybe we can find out more about what's going on while we look for her.
[ Gluing berries together sounds like a waste of their time, so he hopes Toki forgets that idea while they look. ]
no subject
[Oh my god. He's the worst boyfriend ever.]
Do you think she could have gone to the hospital?
[The berries are forgotten.]
no subject
[ Since he still knows Niko as that very sickly girl. ]
no subject
Her heart, she... she has a thing in it that regulates... she was already- when we got here, and I-
[He's a panicking a little, but trying not to freak out completely. Niko had been distressed back in the forest in Akamori right before they got here, and it hadn't stopped; not with all the Pokemon attacks and strange memories coming back.]
Okay. Yes. The hospital.
no subject
[ He puts a hand on Toki's shoulder. ]
Don't start panicking until we see there's something wrong. She could be completely fine.
no subject
I... which way is it, the hospital?
[He spent most of his previous time in Mango City there, but he's never been good with directions and it's all like a dream.]
no subject
[ He points in the direction of it before he starts walking. ]
Let's go. [ He pauses. ] Be careful. There's still a lot going on outside.
no subject
I hope everyone's okay.
[Those on the fringes of his memory, people he had met here before.]
no subject
[ There's been too much chaos.
Thankfully the hospital isn't too far, and they can see it from where they are. ]
no subject
[Toki starts running ahead, without watching for any rogue Pokemon or other hazards.]
Thank you, Fai!
no subject
[ He doesn't react fast enough to grab Toki's wrist, and one of the Murkrow nearby decides to swoop in on Toki.
Fai moves to put up a barrier and hopefully keep Toki from getting hurt. ]
no subject
Oh my god! The keep coming after me!
[He's taking it as a personal affront, even though they're attacking everyone indiscriminately.]
no subject
Stay close to me. We don't want you to go to the hospital for an injury, do we?
no subject
[It's a panicked shout, because it's all coming back to him. All the time he spent in the hospital here and in Toran. He looks down at his hand to make sure it isn't suddenly broken again in some weird time displacement warp. No, it's fine.]
I mean, that would be bad!
[He stays with Fai, trying to keep watch for additional Murkrows and look where he's going, but it's hard with just one eye and he settles for trusting Fai and Hana-chan to spot incoming birds as he focuses on the hospital entrance.]
no subject
Fai's good at spotting incoming birds, and he brings out Chii to use Powder Snow and Astonish to freeze them or make them flinch. They're able to make it to the hospital just fine, but when they get there, it's obvious it's seen better days.
There are parts of it destroyed, and people strewn about the first floor being treated on the spot rather than in a room. ]
...It's much worse here than I thought.
no subject
Niko's not here. I'd know.
[How would he know? There isn't an answer, but he hasn't held on this many years for her to be trapped in a hospital again in a different world.]
But I want to help them.
[Toki's not sure what he can do, but this is what he'd been studying medicine so hard for.]
no subject
Alright. Let's go ask and see what we can do. I imagine they'll take any help they can get.
[ He'll lead the way to one of the nurses, who is more than happy to send them to run and get things like medicine, bottled water, and blankets to take them to people around the floor. ]
no subject
He's managed to obtain a lab coat, for added professionalism, and Hana-chan has a cute nurses' hat. She stands by, overseeing things.]
no subject
Eventually he comes across Toki again. ]
Oh, I could have mistaken you for one of the doctors here!
[ He's joking, but he does think it suits Toki. ]
no subject
[Toki's too excited, and knows that's not true, but he smiles as he tucks a blanket around a little girl and her Pikachu.]
I mean, I'm not, of course, but like... I work at a hospital at home.
[He's a lab tech, and people like to leave fake blood samples in the fridge for him and he spends all day analyzing mixtures of soy sauce and ketchup, but sometimes he gets to do important things and talk to patients.]
no subject
[ He hands a water bottle to someone nearby, who seems to be waiting for news on one of the patients. ]
You look pretty young. I'm impressed.
no subject
I've worked really hard!
[He's still worrying about failing the last year of high school, and doesn't expect to get any further than the lab, but... none of it matters now, does it?]
What did you do, before you got here?
