The Legend Run: (MrcRanger97) Black Sulfur Caldera [Completed]

As you enter the Caldera, you instantly find yourself in near pitch-black darkness. You are forced to tread carefully, as one wrong step here could result in an injury or something, even though you can barely make out the walls. As you continue to search the place, trying to find the end, you end up barely making out two little critters who seem to be used to this darkness. You try to ask them for help, but the two critters, who turn out to be an Aron & a Larvitar, see you as an intruder & start attacking you immediately, forcing you to send in three Pokemon! Battle Begin!

Arena Rules:
-Arena Type: Cave
-No water source present.
-The darkeness of the arena means most Pokemon can't aim properly. As a result, all Pokemon that are not of the Rock, Ground, or Dark types have a permanent -1 Accuracy while in this arena.


Aron: Head Smash (Pride) > Earthquake
IF Aires uses Protect (Pride) A1, THEN change your course of action to Rock Slide > Head Smash (Pride)

Larvitar: Smack Down (Pride) > Earthquake
IF Aires uses Protect (Pride) A1, THEN change your course of action to Rock Slide > Smack Down (Pride)
​

Opening the bill of events, Pride wastes no time in firing a mystical beam from his eyes which hits Aron & makes him fall asleep. Aires then begins an offensive assault by using his cloud to assist him in firing a powerful jet of water which blasts Larvitar & knocks her back several centimetres. Hoenhiem continues the assault by swinging his arm & bashing the Aron hith it, dealing a lot of damage, as the Lackeys started their assault. Larvitar threw a rock at Pride which knocked him down to the ground, & then the Aron woke up & slammed his head into Pride, hurting him more.

Gengar, shaken by the assault, lets off embers at the Larvitar, but the darkness lets Pride down, & it misses. Aires then fires another powerful jet of water which blasts Larvitar & knocks her back a long way, because she was hit critically. Hoenhiem then swings his arm again, stiking the Aron for more damage, but suddenly the Aron & Larvitar got together & jumped in unison, before slamming their feet to the ground at the same time, synchronising their attacks & causing a massive tremour which deals massive damage to your team, & the Lackeys were unscathed by the attack!

Round end, & while you dealt massive damage to the Lackeys, Pride is already in danger of fainting! Issue your actions.

The Lackeys start the first action fast with Larvitar bracing itself, & Aron throwing up a barrier. Pride, annoyed about Aron being awake, tries to fire another sleep-inducing ray to Aron, but it ends up bouncing off Aron's Barrier, as Aires fires draconic energy at Larvitar, hitting, but Larvitar then unveiled her second wind, mystically surviving the attack! Not bothered about all the fracas, Hoenhiem shrugs it all off & takes a break, resting his body while he has the chance.

Pride, assuming Aron was asleep, tries to enter Aron's mind, but the fact that Aron's awake meant that it was impossible to enter. Aires, in the meantime, decides it's also a good time to take a break, yawning & resting his body, healing himself, as Hoenhiem picks up the assault on Aron, striking him with a fist & draining some life force from Aron, but Aron survived, when suddenly, the two Lackeys teamed up again & synchronised their attacks, creating another massive tremour which batters your team. Pride found this too much & ends up falling, a victim of the Lackey's assaults. Depressing...

Round end, & without Pride to help you, things have gone from bad to worse! And the worst part is that this is only the first battle of the TLR...What can you do to get back on track? Issue your actions.


Aron: Endure > Earthquake

Larvitar: Earthquake > Earthquake
​

Well, that sub was smart, considering Cyclohm was going to miss Aron anyway...
​

Well, not much really happens this round...You kill off Larvitar, Hoenhiem Brick Breaks a dead target, & the Lackeys do nothing. Issue your actions.

...And with a capture rate that high, it was little surprise that when you threw the Heal Ball, you would capture it with little to no trouble. Congratulations. And with that, after picking up the Heal Ball, you moved on, further into the Caldera...


Alrightio, during this time, you may choose to rearrange held items, & even give your brand new Aron a nickname! Or if you don't want to do either, you can choose to cheer. Do this, & I'll put up the next RP...That, & I'll send you Aron's information via Smogon PM.
​

After your brief skirmish with the lackeys, you continue your way through the maze, feeling at unease over the darkness, & the fact that you have to use the walls you can barely make out as a guide. Eventually, after a while, you see light at the end of the tunnel! What could this be? You rush towards it, & indeed, you find light! But, however, what you end up in, is an area more open than the others with numerous holes poking out of the ground. You approach them cautiously, and suddenly find that they erupt at random and let out intensely overheated smoke that prevents you from seeing effectively. You need to get by, and you can either creep around carefully or dive through them. What do you do?

a) Creep around and avoid the geysers.
b) Charge through the geysers.

Not feeling game, you decide to creep your way around the geysers, & you do so carefully. Your carefulness proved itself to be very useful, as you make your way to the othe side of the room with no casualties. After that, you move on, further into the Caldera, & back into the darkness...



Continuing your way through the darkness, & using the dark walls as a guide, you suddenly come across a small crack in the rocky maze that appears to lead to another, deeper segment of the cavern complex. You can't quite tell what is down that path, but just being near the crack makes you feel an intense heat wash over you and your team. It's definitely out of the way for you to travel this way, but maybe something valuable lies in wait for the daring adventurer at the end of the tunnel. What do you do?

a) Explore the hidden crevice.
b) Continue on, ignoring the crevice.
​

Feeling bothered by the heat, you decide to ignore it, feeling that there was a trap behind the crevice, & you move on without incident. Whatever it was down there is surely too unnecessary for your success in this pursuit. You must keep your eyes on the goal, and so press on with your team on your heels, further into the darkness...


Continuing on through the wretched maze of endless darkness, you suddenly notice that it was starting to become noticeably hotter...Noticing this, you assume that something's going to happen 'around-the-corner', you tread with even more caution than before, & as you round the right-hand corner, you see more light at the end of the tunnel, & maybe, just maybe, you've finally found your way out of the maze! Rushing towards the exit, you make it & come across another room.

Walking down the stairs of this room, you notice that this is the hottest it has been yet. Examining this underground place, you see a pool of lava nearby, & an exit to your right, down another flight of stairs. With the heat so stifling, you feel that it is the best opportunity to run towards the exit & you do, until...

"HALT! WHO GOES THERE!!!"

You suddenly stop, hearing a loud voice in your head, & you scan the place, wondering where the voice came from.

"YOU DARE INVADE OUR TERRITORY, YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS!"

All of a sudden, a firey being of magma bursts out of the magma & points its cannon-shaped arm at you, like a pistol-armed police officer shouting "Freeze!" It forces you away from the exit & into the centre of the room, where it was accompanied by a rock-behemoth. The two advance, & you are forced to send in your Pokemon, ready to try & fend off these mercaneries! Battle Begin!

Arena Rules:
-Arena Type: Cave
-No external water source present.
-A constant, unalterable Stifling Heat will take place in the arena, possessing the same features as regular Sunny Day.
-Every five (5) rounds of combat, a Pokemon will burst forth from the lava to join the enemy team in battle.

With the Stifling Heat blanketed out, you go into battle fairly confident, but the unknown of it all, really wasn't going to do you any favours here...

Magmortar wastes no time getting into action by using telepathic energy to lift Hoenhiem into the air & slamming him into one of the hot walls, as Aires, still exhausted from last battle, takes a break. Hoenhiem rushes back & wallops Gigalith with a fist, rejuvenating Hoenhiem a bit, as Kimbly tries to crash into Magmortar, but trips over a rock...Poor thing...Gigalith then pounces onto Hoenhiem, jumping & belly-flopping his entire body into Hoenhiem, crushing him against his weight.

Magmortar continues to annoy everyone by unleashing a wave of fire which stifles your team, & striking Aires critically. Aires responds by using water from his cloud & unleashing a powerful jet of water at Magmortar, but suddenly, you realise that as the attack nears Magmortar, the attack had evapourated by a fair bit! How this could've happened, you don't know, but the jet strikes Magmortar, but he took a lot less damage than usual...Something's not right...Anyways, Hoenhiem continues to pummel Gigalith, striking him with a fist & healing himself a bit more, as Kimbly tries to bash Magmortar again, but like before, tripped over a random rock...Poor Kimbly...Capping off the round, one of Gigalith's limbs enveloped a rocky aura, which he then used to strike Hoenhiem for more damage, as the round comes to an end.

With the round done, it's been fairly rough for you, but how longer can Hoenhiem hold on? Issue your actions.


Magmortar: Psychic (Hoenhiem) > Psychic (Hoenhiem)
IF Hoenhiem faints, THEN replace all remaining actions with Heat Wave

Gigalith: Heavy Slam (Hoenhiem) > Heavy Slam (Hoenhiem)
IF either Aires or Kimbly use Protect (Hoenhiem), THEN replace that action with Stone Edge (Aires)
IF Hoenhiem faints, THEN replace all remaining actions with Rock Slide
​

Aires begins the round by going into a state where he starts storing energy, as Magmortar lifts Hoenhiem up with telepathic energy, & trusts him into a far wall, striking critically & leaving Hoenhiem in a very bad way. So Hoenhiem strikes back by telepathically creating ties between himself & the two Guardians! What could Hoenhiem be preparing? It doesn't look pretty, but we'll see what happens soon enough...Anyways, Kimbly, seeing Hoenhiem in danger, tends to it & throws up a protective barrier which he passes onto Hoenhiem. Gigalith sees this & instead of attacking, turns his attention to Aires & strikes him with a rocky, aura-enveloped limb.

As Aires continues in his state, Magmortar uses telepathic energy to lift Hoenhiem into the air once more, & slams him into a wall & finishing him off. But suddenly, the ties snap & Magmortar suffers a massive shock, dealing massive damage! Nevertheless, Kimbly then slams into Gigalith with his head, dealing a bit of damage, as Gigalith rounds out the round by piling rocks onto the heads of your remaining team members, hitting Kimbly, but missing Aires.

With the round & Hoenhiem gone, the arena suddenly becomes very hot again! What can you do? Issue your actions.

Getting ready for a sweltering few rounds, Aires unleashes all his energy & sends it at Gigalith, dealing a lot of damage to him, while Kimbly rams into Magmortar, walloping him & dealing heaps of damage. Gigalith then pounds Aires with a powerful limb of rock, as Magmortar fires a powerful, massive, DBZ-Style beam of cold energy, which blasts Aires & deals so much damage, Aires was unable to endure the hit & collapses, leaving only Kimbly to fend for himself in the heat.

As Magmortar recovers from such a powerful attack, Kimbly senses an opportunity to take out Magmortar, & takes it, ramming into Magmortar again at full force, & knocking him out, but Kimbly does get a painful burn from it...Until he eats up part of his Rawst Berry. All in the meanwhile, Gigalith sets up & sheds half his weight & makes himself dramatically faster than before!

Only Kimbly remains, but with Magmortar knocked out, maybe...Just maybe...Issue your actions.


Gigalith: Rock Smash (Kimbly) > Solarbeam (Kimbly)
IF Kimbly uses Protect successfully without transfer, THEN replace that action with Chill
