[LOSS] Distortion World (Hard) - Dogfish44 and Maxim

(Soundtrack)

Darkness. And yet, light.

A world without logic, beyond a veil you could not see until a few moments ago. And yet, everything before your eyes feels as real as the blood pulsing in your veins.

The bizarre geography of the place initially makes it look as if the rocky path you landed on leads to a dead end. However, before long you realize that each rock, each element of the landscape draws you weakly, as if gravity depended on your will more than on the land beneath you. While disorienting at first, you slowly grow accustomed and, albeit somewhat bewildered, begin making your way through this twisted reflection of your homeworld.

The light orb that Cresselia conjured for you slowly but steadily guides you through the wasteland, until you reach what looks like a large, open space. The light then stops for a moment, leaving you to wonder whether you reached your goal. But before you can try to come up with an answer... shadows suddenly swallow the light orb wholly!

"... the Shadowy Pokemon is no longer here. He came, and then disappeared. Yet... what brings you here?"

(Soundtrack)

You look around, in fear, but you see nothing. You could clearly hear the voice in your head, deep and monotone like an echo in the night. But wherever you cast your gaze, all you can see is darkness. Black, deep, and unfathomable.

"I do remember... something. As if all this happened years ago, already. But this no longer matters. That past is no longer my own"

A sudden gust blows through your hair, causing you to turn suddenly. And then you see it. The figure of a human, which looks somewhat familiar.



What does look off, though, is its size - you cannot tell for sure if it's a trick, played on you by this bizarre reality, but the human looks as tall as a mountain, gazing upon you like a titan of old legends.

"You look clueless. Of course, you do. Your emotions, your feelings, your aspirations, still blind you to the truth which lies in clear sight all around you. But worry not. Soon, you will see it by yourself. Soon, you will see what my new world looks like"

Shadows begin swirling all around you, their wails echoing in the cold and still air. A dark aura surrounds the gigantic figure. Then, a blue gleam twinkles in his eyes.

"Pitiful mortals ..."

Your hope ends here. AND YOUR MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE WITH IT!

Size Class: 8

Abilities: Oblivious, Pressure, Skill Link


Mind Flay: Cyrus uses Mind Flay as its default attack on its current target on every action. This beam connects with the target and slowly melts its psyche in a brutal mental assault. Psychic, Special, 3 BP, 100% Accuracy, hits 2-5 times.

Apathia: Cyrus heals back to full HP at the end of every action

INVERSE BATTLE

Weather: None - None allowed without item
Restrictions: No external grass or water
Affected moves: Low light, Nature Power (Shadow Ball)

Wonder Room: The arena is under a constant Wonder Room effect, which overwrites any other Room effect.

Psychic Terrain: The arena is under a constant Psychic Terrain effect, which overwrites any terrain effect

Severed Souls

There are fifteen (15) severed souls floating around. Each time one of these souls is killed, Cyrus's max HP is reduced by 1500, an Unhinged Spirit will spawn at the end of the round. Whenever a Severed Soul is under attack, it will use Soul Channel on its attacker, and gain Soul Ward.

Everytime a Severed Soul is killed, Cyrus will gain a new Emotion. Each emotion grants him either a passive or activated special. Passive specials are activated at the end of the action in which the Severed Soul is killed, and persist throughout the fight. Activated specials are activated at the end of the action in which the Severed Soul is killed, and at the end of every 2-4 actions after that (chosen at random). Emotions are always gained in the same order.

Soul Channel: Causes the target to inflict +400% damage against the Soul, and no damage to any other Soul. The target also gains Warped Soul as soon as this effect wears off, reducing the damage done by the target to any other Severed Soul by 100% for 6 actions.

Soul Ward: Causes the Severed Soul to take no damage from any source except direct damage from the Soul Channel's target, and no damage from spread attacks. While active, increases Cyrus's Mind Flay damage by +150% (can stack with multiple instances of Soul Ward active)

When I came to, I saw the familiar, yet unfamiliar, world. All was darkness, save the light that had been entrusted to us.

The Distortion World, a world without logic, beyond the description of mortal eyes, almost as though it were a dream. Yet, everything in myself told me I was still alive, my heart still beat, and I knew I had to move to save the world

The world, in it's own sense of logic, was rather disorienting. The rocky path we landed on at first seemed to be little more than a dead end. However, before long we realized that each rock, each element of the landscape...seemed to draw energy from us as we passed. Perhaps it was just the Distortion World getting to me, but it seemed as though even keeping our feet on the ground a matter of our own will and determination. Before long, the logic of this place, however twisted, had become comprehensible to us, and we were able to make our way forward after some stumbling around.

The light orb that Cresselia conjured for us had slowly but steadily guided us through the wasteland, until we reached a wide open space in the area. The light then stopped for a moment.


"Well, I suppose this is as good a rest stop as any." I said, mostly to myself. I then leaned against a tall pillar stretching into the sky. It was rather soft for a tree, but then this was the Distortion World after all.

Unfortunately I had misinterpreted the orb's stopping. Within about a minute of me deciding to take a rest, the orb was swallowed whole, as though consumed by some malignant beast. In shock I turned around, trying to find the cause of the disappearance. "What...? No, this must be the destination." I said, then I rose my voice "All right, come out Darkrai, and meet your fate!"

As soon as I had said that, I heard a voice that boomed over the canyon. It boomed with such ferocity that my subconscious believed, if only for a second, that Thundurus had come for Round Three.

"... the Shadowy Pokemon is no longer here. He came, and then disappeared. Yet... what brings you here?"

Fearful, I looked around, but could see nothing. I could clearly hear the voice within my head, deep and monotone like an echo in the night, yet powerful as a stone. But a darkness had set in, and no matter where I looked, I could see nothing. I decided to hold onto the tree I had leaned against before, and then the voice came again.

"I do remember... something. As if all this happened years ago, already. But this no longer matters. That past is no longer my own."

A sudden gust blew across me, causing me to turn suddenly. And then I saw something that my eyes could not believe. First, that tree was no tree at all, but a foot. Second, there stood a man that I had only heard about in stories from my friend, but somehow knew.

Cyrus. Oh, and did I happen to mention he was about the size of a skyscraper?

I could not tell whether it was simply a trick played upon us by this bizarre reality, but whatever the case, this Cyrus was as tall as a titan from the old tales. He gazed upon us with contempt, as though we were simply ants crawling around his feet.

"You look clueless. Of course, you do. Your emotions, your feelings, your aspirations, still blind you to the truth which lies in clear sight all around you. But worry not. Soon, you will see it by yourself. Soon, you will see what my new world looks like."

Shadows came to assault us once more, their wails echoing in the cold and still air. A dark aura surrounded the gigantic figure. Then, a blue, cold gleam twinkled in his eyes.

"Pitiful mortals ..."



"Your hope ends here. AND YOUR MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE WITH IT!"


"E Gads that guy is huge! Come on you guys, let's take him out!"


"Aw man, why can't I get that big. I could conquer the world easily that way!"


"Come and face your end, Cyrus."


"Well this is a first, I've never had a piece of architecture attack me before."


"Get your eyes checked Imhotep, that's a human, albeit a larger one than normal. No matter though, I'll do whatever it takes to protect my sweet Maxim."

Dusknoir [Pressure: ON]: Payback (Cyrus)~Spite
Necturna: Shadow Claw (Skull 1)~Shadow Claw (Skull 1)
Mismagius: Nasty Plot~Chill
Revenankh: Bulk Up~Chill

Suggested Orders:
Gengar: Lick (Cyrus)~Chill
Froslass: Aurora Veil [Snowflake]~Chill
Kitsunoh: Will-o-Wisp (Cyrus)~Chill
Chandelure: Calm Mind~Chill
(Pretty conservative orders I'll admit, but I want to see what the stats are on these Unhinged Spirits are before we start unlocking a bunch of them. Gengar's on the initial hit due to his resistance to Psychic here. Other than that it's just preparations and keeping our energy topped off, as I get a feeling we're going to need it.)

Round 1

Devil taps into her trainer's Enhanced Mega Ring to evolve into her Mega form and get Cyrus's attention. The huge being, in turns, proceeds to melt the Gengar's mind with a violent psychic assault, but Sovereign soon draws the enemy's attention himself. Meanwhile, as the rest of the team begins to build up its strength, Pandora shreds to pieces one of the wandering shadows, weakening their master significantly. However, this also causes Cyrus to cast a debilitating curse over several various members of the raid... and causes a much more dangerous spirit to rise from the darkness! Cyrus himself mocks your efforts:

Cyrus: Your struggles are meaningless. Can you not see the truth lying before your eyes?

Was it fear and hesitation that prevented me from going all out? Or was it simply caution? Our initial assault was fairly light, and we soon discovered that our caution gave dividends, for when the first skull died, a ferocious spirit took it's place. As if that wasn't bad enough, it projected a sort of sorrow that kept us from giving our all. Still somewhat nervous, pushed on, hoping that Cyrus did not have any more trick up his sleeve.


"...You...you mean Maxim is not my sweetie pie after all? Noooo...."


"Okay, I'm a little freaked out by that one."

Round 2

The demented spirit screams and lashes out at Reynardine, but the combined efforts of the team mates put the wailing soul to rest. Meanwhile, Devil vanquishes another of the wandering souls swirling around the battlefield, refreshed to pristine condition by the heals of her allies. Sovereign, on the other hand, is struggling under a barrage of mind assaults, unable to do much in return.

Then, another raging spirit emerges suddenly from the void! Amidst the chaos, Cyrus's voice echoes, cold and monotone.
