A Baptism by Flames

"It's here."

The feed to the Warp Band flickers on. The image projected is intensely distorted and shaky, showing nothing but the too-close face of a woman. She's running; it's obvious from her breathing and the way she keeps glancing over her shoulder. Though her voice is carefully calm, spitting out words between each breath, she's continuously interrupted by the sound of an enraged bellows from close behind.

"This is Mamir, of the Eastern Gale Tribe. The beast has emerged again, southwest of our tree."

The video flickers terribly as she thrusts the Warp Band behind her - it's incredibly difficult to get a good view: blurred images of an enormous, seemingly grinning face, of swarms of... somethings darting through the skies in a panic, of waves of some liquid rippling out through the plains leaving trails of steam and smoke...

And then, through no planned effort of her own, the running Valkyrie takes a few steps without jostling her arm, and a clear view of the creature is displayed for the world to see. It bellows again and a plume of fire erupts fifty feet into the sky.

"Matriarch! It's advancing quickly! We're keeping it at bay for now, but we have to retreat! Our companions - they refuse to obey commands - they're too afraid to get near. I... I've lost Aerie."

It isn't entirely clear who or what Aerie is, as a shockwave echoes through the plains, sending the Valkyrie tumbling through the ground. The image on the Warp Band distorts wildly before it cuts off into static.

...

Hardly ten seconds later, the feed flickers on again to display the grim countenance of the Matriarch.

"Well. I think it's in everyone's interest to get rid of this thing before it heads say, west towards a certain comfortable volcano, or south to warmer climates, don't you think? My girls could lead it in circles to another destination, but we'll keep it in the plains if you step up to the plate."

((This is the final portion of the event, and the first Legendary Pokemon (openly) encountered within the game. In dimensions, Heatran is about 12 feet in height and 20 in length. Like all Legendary Pokemon in this game, it exudes an aura that induces fear and terror in all opposing humans and Pokemon. This sensation can be mastered by the strong willed, but is difficult to overcome. Also like all Legendary Pokemon, Heatran is incredibly powerful and should be handled with care.

Please remember to sign up here and post in your groups. Each group may individually choose how they approach this situation; in terms of RP, it will be considered that each group runs into Heatran in a separate location on the Plains and confronts it before it moves on to the next group. There are several potential outcomes depending on how the majority of groups respond to this threat.

Thanks and have fun! We'll be responding about once every 24 hours regardless of whether or not the whole group has posted, as per our usual policy. Questions can be asked in the sign-up post.))

Merrill's other Pokemon may have been swatted away, but at least Adahlen is still on target. And as it buzzes through the fray, picking up speed as it goes thanks to its Speed Boost ability, it finally reaches Heatran's back, making a desperate dive at top speed toward the indentation on its back to drop the stone in. Merrill stands back at a safe distance, tending to her Pokemon as they recover from the blow.

The idea is to buy time! So Steelix will simply meet the assault head on before it quickly attempts to Bind Heatran in place long enough for Adahlen to get the shard in!

Ferro roars in pain as it attempts this; unfortunately, its natural resistance to Fire was removed by its evolution and it's not very fun trying to wrap around something that's part magma. Lucas will grit his teeth.

"Hang in there; just a few seconds...!"

A blue pulse races between Lucas and his Pokemon as he begins to take some of the damage into himself.

"It's in! Let's go!"

Not wanting to risk Heatran noticing Adahlen, Merrill warps him out of there, doing the same to her other Pokemon before posturing herself to escape. She'll wait to make sure Lucas can get out safely, though. Children are the future!

There it goes! Lucas will just go ahead and recall Steelix and Castform now. The skies return to normal and the bind will be released; Lucas himself is unimpeded when he turns to escape.
