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 looks back at the boba shop, totally panicked. He knew who Hythlodaeus was when he was grabbed, but forgot after the Hatenna's assault. Now, he's certain somehow days have passed since that event.]
no subject
Indeed. I, myself, was only let out of the hospital the other day...
no subject
The hospital!? Are you okay!? Are you dying!?
no subject
Worry not, Toki! I am recovered now. The doctors said 'twas only exhaustion.
no subject
[He lunges at Hythlo for a clingy hug, crying with relief.]
no subject
For some reason, instead, it makes tears well up in his eyes, too. Someone caring about him enough to cry for him, in a time when all the people who ever did are long gone, a small, fragile life clinging to him in relief...
Efi helped fend off that particular nightmare, but it left its mark still.
He stays motionless for a second, then slowly wraps his arms around Toki... then squeezes, as tightly as he dares without hurting Toki, tears running down his face, patting the boy's head and rocking him like a child.]
I'm so glad you are, too...
no subject
Everything affected him so deeply today, and he can't understand why. At this moment, there are too many emotions at once, intense and painful in their severity.]
I love you.
[He's always said that freely, and given his love away so easily. There's too much, and everyone deserves to be told they're appreciated.]
no subject
There would be no children of Amaurot, not anymore. No families and no love, no one to care for and to be loved by - simply, unconditionally, the way children do. For Hythlo himself, children were for later... and now there would never be a later. Perhaps it was for the best - had he lost a child during the Final Days, or arrived here with the knowledge that somewhere, back in his dying world, his son or daughter would be left all alone... he would not be sitting here right now.]
Thank you...
[He hugs Toki tighter in return, too, curling up over him protectively, his last defenses breaking down under the enormity of his grief. He's sobbing too at this point, still rocking Toki gently, overcome with a feeling he can't name - the desire to protect at least one life, small and fragile but no less deserving of happiness and affection, to make sure that even if they part ways Toki will stay safe and whole, with nothing to ever harm him.]
I love you too, little one...
no subject
It's fine. Hana-chan watches this entire display from outside the boba shop, little paws full of oran berry boba. Today has been... a day.]
