Quest: Cleansing the Elements
The violent strife with Zapdos cleared the way from the slide which was blocking the path. You proceed through it, as it seems to lead down from the mountain. Above you, the sky slowly clears as the thunderstorm fades away. An important step towards the conquest of the Stormrage Mountain summit has been done - Lance will likely want to hear word from you as soon as possible. While you walk down the route, though, you spot an odd construction, sculptured in the wall. It seems some kind of altar, but you ignore what the writings on its surface could possibly mean... until, suddenly, the scepter Eusine gave you starts shimmering! Perhaps it can be used on the altar is some way?
a) Cleanse the altar
b) Leave

snark? me? preposterous
Wielding tightly the scepter in your hands, you point it at the altar. A glowing yellow light spreads from the top of the scepter, reaching the topaz socketed in the altar and shattering it. Suddenly, the sky above you is once again swarmed by black, menacing clouds. But this time, a heavy rainstorm follows the thunders and the gusts of wind. You wonder if it wouldn't be better to just leave, but before you can make this decision, a mighty lightning bolt falls from the sky, hitting the ground near you. You close your eyes for a moment, blinded by the sudden burst of light. Then, when you reopen them, a threatening beasts stands before you, a fierce look in its eyes!
Steeling yourselves for the battle, you draw out your Poké Balls in defense!

Lightning Ball (Colossoil): The affected Pokémon takes 5 damage at the end of each action, plus 5 for each consecutive action. The ball accumulates as many damage as the damage suffered by each Pokémon wielding it. The ball can be passed to another friendly Pokémon using an action. If the ball is thrown at Raikou, Raikou takes as much damage as the amount of charges on the Lightning Ball. If no Lightning Ball are present at the end of an action, Raikou will throw another one.

Round 1!
And we started the last phase of what can only be described as a peculir type of genocide against poor electric pokemon! Which is ironic given who is battling, but I digress. Our heroes start strong with a heavy offensive and, thanks to a convenient Strom Drain from Gastrodon, they manage to strike while being virtually untouched by Raikou, except for a Signal Beam that slightly damaged Colossoil. Speaking of Colossoil, the Lightning Ball it is holding doesn't like it much and it is giving pretty hard shocks to it. While it seems bareable at first, I wonder for how long Colossoil will be able to fake a smile like that and carry on.

Things worth noting;
8/1/2011: Bosses which are targetted successfully by Taunt, Rage Powder or Follow Me will now become immune to the effect of those moves for the following (3) actions. This does not count the taunting effect of Lightningrod and Storm Drain.
---
Fidgit: Heal Pulse (Colossoil) ~ Drill Run (Raikou)
Gastrodon: Earth Power (Raikou) ~ Hidden Power (Raikou)
Feel free to bloodlust at some point Maxim, but we ought to be fine.

It is from 2014, so it supercedes the thing you posted. So the immunity stays.

Round 2!
Have you ever played the Genocide Route of Undertale? Well, this raid is pretty much like it, except without the Sans-induced bad time. I mean seriously, with 2 rounds in Raikou is under half hp. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves ;_;. Either way, this should be over before you can say "mean".
Although to be fair, that Lightning Ball is looking particularly menacing. Our heroes better pay good attention to it, before it back fires yeah right. But apart from it, it should be an easy sailing from here.

I MEAN
Raikou valiantly resisted your attacks, even though it couldn't finish his casting, it seems he doesn't want to give up so soon. Still, our heroes are very close to the victory and to the end of this absolutely useless and slightly mean ordeal.

Round 5!
After a Heal Pulse clearly designed only to piss me off, our heroes dispatch off Raikou and are ready for bigger bolder challenges. I heard they will now try their hand and the very dangerous Hard Mode Tyranitar and its lackey the Aerodactyl. Certainly a massive step up after this particular gruesome trial!
