[LOSS] Wildfire Plateau (Hard) - akela and AOPSUser

[zarator]

A heated wind blows on these scorched cliffs and peaks. No matter where you turn your eyes, nothing you can see past barren rocks, burnt by the cruel sun. Natural bridges consisting of rock tongues suspended over impressive canyons and gulches allow you to get from a cliff to another one. As you walk carefully on one of the cliffs, you suddendly glance a violent spout of boiling vapor breaking through a fissure above your heads. Nevertheless, you keep going until one of the rock bridges bring you at the base of the plateau.

Thin cracks scatter through the ground like webs enveloping the whole sandy surface. There seems to be several higher platforms on the plateau, which you can reach through natural paths. As you are heading towards one of them, though, your eye gets caught by some runes inscribed in a wall of rock. You wonder what they mean, but all of a sudden you glance over a writing in common language, scratched below some of the runes. Ten thousand years of slumber, sealed away in..., and then the writing becomes unreadable. In the end, you decide to continue your walk, as what you seek probably lies at the top of the plateau.

After some more minutes of marching under the incessant drought, you finally arrive on the higher echelons of the plateau. Much to your surprise, an intense verdant light shines under your eyes. Soft blades of grass cover the entire area, despite the rock seems to be way too hard and dry for any kind of life to grow on. While you behold this magnificent meadow, something suddendly draws your attention. A strange bug, similar to a sort of larva, is crawling in the grass, near the center of the meadow. Another local form of life, maybe? You approach it carefully, but then the insect turns fiercely towards you and charges!

[AOPSUser]

Sometimes, you have to go with a super complicated action set. This is not one of those times.

Fidgit: Gravity --- Stone Edge (Larvesta)

Tyranitar (Mega Evolve): Stone Edge (Larvesta) --- Rock Slide

Stratagem: Ancient Power (Larvesta) --- Paleo Wave (Larvesta)

Gallade: Reflect [GLYPH] --- Stone Edge (Larvesta)

In case you didn't get the message, just spam whatever attacks do the most damage.

 

[akela]

If I cannot equip items now, then please ignore it. I was not certain about raid etiquette.

Rhydon @ Eviolite: Rock Slide (Larvesta) > Stone Edge (Larvesta)
Barbaracle @ Focus Sash: Helping Hand (Tyrantrum) > Stone Edge (Larvesta)
Archeops @ Plume Fossil: Rock Slide (Larvesta) > Stone Edge (Larvesta)
Tyrantrum @ Expert Belt: Head Smash (Larvesta) > Stone Edge (Larvesta)

 

[zarator]

Round 1​

While Hitler starts evolving, Handsome intensifies the surrounding gravity, allowing the team mates' attacks to land without fail. Larvesta is badly hurt by the barrage of Rock-type attacks, but still manages to wear down Susan in return.

Round 2​

The faster team mates take a moment of rest. Meanwhile, Handsome conjures a scintillating barrier, behind which the team mates Tyrantrum and Stratagem can safely finish the foe. However, before you can claim victory, an intense flame engulfs the tiny bug, shining intensely while the husk cracks wide open, giving birth to a giant moth, beautiful and lethal in its brightness! Its body suddendly emits a blinding glow which clears the sky above and bathes the entire battlefield in a heated sunlight.

Round 3​

The team isn't afraid of the foe's metamorphosis and keeps attacking like before, but Volcarona proves to be a much tougher nut to crack. To makes things worse, its fiery offense is really hard for the squad to contain, as each and every team mate must suffer retribution from the fire moth.

"That is a lot of damage..."

Gallade: Heal Pulse (Tyrantrum) --- Shadow Mend (Tyrantrum)

Fidgit: Heal Pulse (Tyrantrum) --- Stone Edge (Volcarona)

Tyranitar: Stone Edge (Volcarona) --- Rock Slide

Stratagem: Paleo Wave (Volcarona) --- Ancient Power (Volcarona)

We don't need Reflect at this point. Tyrantrum should be staying alive as well--in fact, going off last round, it should be gaining HP. Next round, Tyranitar can Taunt away threat from Tyrantrum. Fire Nova isn't really a problem here, the problem is finishing it fast. So basically, just keep attacking.

Round 4​

The team keeps the offense going, shrugging off the moth's fiery waves of fire. The Tyrantrum, on the other hand, is suffering tremendously under Volcarona's attacks, but the continous stream of heals from the team mates Gallade and Fidgit helps him to cope with the heat.

[zarator]

Worried about encountering other nasty surprises, you quickly leave the verdant meadow and continue up the path towards the top of the plateau. As you progress in your advance, you reach a bridge of stone, suspended over a pit of lava below. You cross it with upmost care, making your best efforts to not look below. After the bridge, you get to another echelon - high enough to make you think you are close to the top. On a first moment you were going to go through it without much thought, but something catches your eyes all of a sudden. Some flames are flowing through little fissures scattered on the ground. It would be something normal in a place like this, were it not for the fact that the flames are of a light blue and oscillate in an odd manner, making you think for a second they're almost... alive.

Nevertheless, you impute this to a sort of mirage and go on. The path now follows the circular form of the highest echelon, with a tongue of rock surrounding the plateau which allows you to reach the top. Again, something in your mind strongly suggest you not to look down, as you slowly advance through this really narrow route. Luckily for you, the road is not long, and within few minutes you finally are on the very top of Wildfire Plateau. Whichever is the cause of the altered weather, it must be somewhere around here - or at least, that's your guess. You start looking around, but there seems to be no things worth noting. After some time spent searching the place, you resign yourself to come back and look if the problem lies somewhere else. However...

A sudden roar echoes in the air, amplified by the surrounding peaks! You turn frantically your eyes around to see where did that noise come from, then you look above. A magnificent bird, imbued into shining flames, is diving towards you. Luckily, you manage to dodge it, but the bird seems willing to attack again! You prepare your Poké Balls, ready to face the new threat.

"What are those flames?"

"Oh, those? They're mirages."

"They feel pretty hot..."

"Have you heard of the Mirage Tower? That's very real as well. And you can climb it. Then it disappears. Trust me, this is a mirage."

"KAWWWWWW"

"Is that a mirage?"

"Yeah, sure. Just chuck rocks at it and it'll disappear."

Round 1​

While Handsome sets the battlefield, the other team mates go on an all-out offense on the new enemy, while Moltres struggles to do any kind of damage back. However, suddenly, the Fidgit finds itself burning in the same blue fire you spotted on your way here.

Round 2​

The team doesn't slow down its attacks, although the healers hold back and wait for their moment to raise rather than joining the onslaught. Moltres takes quite a beating from the barrage of Rock-type blows, but its gusts of wind fail to hurt the Tyrantrum as much, although the fossil Pokemon does look dazed by the fury of the winds. Meanwhile, the blue flames spread to the Rhydon as well...
