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.

...He's not real?
no subject
At least I don't think he is? It's probably the work of the Pokemon in the area!
no subject
[ He's still frozen in place, dumbfounded. You're going to have to make him move again, Itaru. ]
no subject
Yeah, but most Pokemon in the wild don't really do that unless they're provoked, so something must've set them off. For now we have to KO the ones who are causing these illusions.
no subject
You know a lot about this world, do you know what Pokemon could be behind this?
no subject
no subject
[ He gestures to their right. ]
That's where I last saw it. Maybe it's still over there.
no subject
[ he goes right, still dragging fai in tow. but he's already panting along the way - a testament to his pisspoor stamina. ]
no subject
Fai, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. ]
Are you okay?
[ Maybe he's already been running around a lot, Fai's not sure. ]
no subject
[ he's lame, he gets it. he'll keep on running anyway. ]
no subject
I should be able to handle it on my own. You should go rest.
[ Accepting help is hard. ]
no subject
[ he insists. no one will win in this battle of stubbornness, so. ]
Look, the sooner we find the Musharna, the sooner we can rest. Do you want that guy stalking you at every turn or not?
no subject
But he also can't argue with what Itaru says. ]
No, I don't. [ He's quiet for a moment. ] What is Musharna weak against?
[ This is him conceding. ]
no subject
[ one of the reasons why itaru was exhausted as hell was because he was trying to stop his scraggy's rampage, after all. ]
no subject
Right... Then we need to overpower it with what we have, I suppose.
[ As they continue to move, they eventually spot a Musharna in an alleyway, emitting mist. ]
no subject
[ he skids to a stop, bringing out his marshtomp. ]
We may not have type advantage, but we can wittle it down with STAB moves. Let's team up.
[ they already are teaming up, but he means a double battle. he'll explain the rest of the jargon to fai later on. ]
no subject
He takes out his own Marshtomp. What's a STAB...? He's not going to ask right now, though, because he nods. ]
Alright.
[ He motions for Itaru to follow so they can get closer to the Musharna. It sees them coming and starts hurriedly emitting more mist. ]
no subject
[ itaru got the most of the mist and he coughs, collapsing on the ground as the musharna makes it escape. ]
Marshtomp, follow it! I...
[ he's coughing, real hard this time, and when he takes a peek at his hand it's all covered with blood.
to him, that is, fai will just see nothing. ]
no subject
Are you alright?
[ He reaches out to touch his shoulder. ]
no subject
Yeah, I-- [ cough ] I'm fine. But if we don't stop that Musharna--
[ the sound of footsteps approach them. ]
no subject
Fai turns to Itaru, frowning. ]
Sorry, I’m more worried about you right now than the Musharna.
[ Those footsteps get his attention, though, and he looks up to see who is approaching them. ]
no subject
I told you, I'm fine. I may be almost out of HP, but I can still go on.
[ then he looks at fai straight in the eye, managing a tired smile. ]
I'm really just slowing us down, TBH.
no subject
Then I'll have to make sure you keep up with me. Let me carry you.
[ That offer probably sounds silly coming from someone like Fai, but he really won't have a problem carrying Itaru. ]
We'll take care of the Musharna and then go find somewhere for you to rest.
[ He says it in a tone that doesn't leave much room for argument. ]
no subject
[ rip. but the finality in fai's tone made him sigh in defeat. ]
...Just be gentle, I guess.
no subject
[ He smiles, a small moment of his usual teasing before hoisting Itaru up onto his back. Fai adjusts Itaru so his arms are around his neck, and he holds up his legs.
Before they get moving, he lets Swablu out of his ball, who looks curiously at Itaru. Who is this? ]
Look up ahead and see if you can find Marshtomp and the Musharna.
[ For now, they need to get out of this mist, so Fai just starts walking. It doesn't seem like Fai has much trouble carrying Itaru's weight. ]
Hopefully she finds them soon. I don't want to be wandering around forever.
