Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
With Regice out of the picture, the team turns its attention on Regirock. However, the Rock-type colossus proves to be much more resilient to physical assaults than its icy partner. Therefore, the team decides to push even more, launching an all-out offense on the legendary enemy. Still, this does not prevent the Blissey to dispel her team mate Revenankh with surprising haste.

Regirock doesn't last for long in front of the team's rampage. Even if the rocks it causes to collapse slow down the raid's offense, eventually the Rock-type legend is taken down by the Fighting-types' aura strikes. However, even if it is the last remaining enemy, Registeel shows no sign of weakness, and after it blasts the already injured Lucario with a silvery burst, it proceeds to assault the whole team with a barrage of sharpened shrapnels!
Several raid members are now in need of immediate help, but Registeel's curse looms over several team mates...

Curse of Blades (Salamence, Tomohawk, Blissey): Everytime the affected Pokemon heals a target with a move, Registeel is healed for an amount equal to 200% of the healing done. Everytime the affected Pokemon damages a target with a move, Registeel's current target is damaged for an amount equal to 100% of the damage done. Lasts for 1 round.
The team keeps pushing, but its rampage eventually peters out, although fortunately Registeel seems unable to cause much harm in return. The Salamence and the Tomohawk are pumped up and ready to strike, but the Steel-type legend renews the curse it previously placed on them...

Helped by the cursed team mates, Shank and his allies pound Registeel violently, weathering its blows and paying back until even the last of the three opponents finally falls!

Final
As soon as the final enemy falls, the wall behind begins to crumble, opening the way for you to keep going. You do not have much time to rejoyce, however. Now you are fully aware of Mewtwo's true intentions, and if he is not stopped, no one can tell what events could be set in motion by the Genetic Pokemon's deeds.
Quest: Into the Shrine (Deadfox081, Texas Cloverleaf)
A few steps after, however, you are stopped by an echo... the echo of a distant whisper. "After so much time... can this really be?"
You turn immediately, startled by the mysterious voice, but you do not see anyone. Then, from the wall next to you, a small figure begins to emerge. You back off, in shock, but then you stop and gaze upon the strange creature that appeared before you
"W-who are you?", you ask, once curiosity finally overcomes fear.
"I used to have a name, but I don't remember it anymore", replies the creature, with a saddened tone, "as I don't remember many more things that I once had when I was a human like you. But your sword... I still remember it".
You search through your possessions until you find the Paragon of Gygax. "This?"
The spirit takes a moment, floating around the blade - looking at it as if it could see nothing else. Then, it begins speaking again, although with a clearer voice.
"When I could still feel the blood flowing in my veins, I wielded this blade to destroy the Old God, before its evil eyes could gaze upon our world and its dark will could corrupt our consciences with its whispers. However, I can feel the Old God's whispers once more... he's awakening once again. Can't you hear his voice?"
You stay silent for several, endless seconds, but you cannot hear anything but your feeble breaths.
"This blade is still incomplete", continues the spirit, as if it does not even remember what it was saying a moment before. "Only by forging it in the blood of the Old God itself, will you manage to awaken its dormant magic. Wait, until the Old God's heart will be exposed... then strike it! Find the courage I lost, and take down the beast once again".
"But... why do you say 'lost'?", you ask, moved by the spirit's tangible sadness. However, the creature soon disappears beyond solid stone once more, its last words still echoing in the air.
"I looked into its eyes, and despaired..."
You steel your hearts and move on, but soon after, you can hear another echo, more feeble yet more chilling than the previous one.
"Y'knath k'th'rygg k'yi mrr'ungha gr'mula".
Into the Shrine has been completed by the the following players: Deadfox081, Texas Cloverleaf. Remember to claim the quest's completion together with the other rewards in the ASB Raid Zone General Thread in order to get your rewards.
The Reforging of Gygax Quest giver: Restless Spirit Requirements: Into the Shrine
The spirit may have lost hope, but its last shred of sanity allowed you to finally understand what needs to be done. Even if it looks like a nearly impossible task, you know it may very well be the only chance to prevent humanity from diving into a new age of darkness.
Objective: Throw Paragon of Gygax into Regigigas's core after Regigigas uses Hex Beam. This will require the holder to spend one action, and Paragon of Gygax will effectively be disabled (as if it were Knocked Off) until the end of the battle. Then defeat Regigigas.
NOTE: This quest can be completed only in Hard Mode. Regigigas will not use Hex Beam unless two or fewer Regi Cores are active.
Reward:
Gygax, the Runeblade: Raises the Attack rank of the holder by 10 and its critical hit stage by 1. Moreover, every contact attack affects the target with Curse of Gygax for 3 actions, which raises the base power of any Ice-, Normal-, Rock- and Steel-type move used against the target by 3.
