He could feel it. The moment that the rain had began to abate, Lucky knew where he had to go. That shrine, the High Tide Shrine where he had first declared his challenge to that giant fish. His anticipation was correct. When Bunya made that dark announcement, he was there in person to hear it. When the cry of a distant God cried, Lucky was there to listen to it. Perhaps that was just a hallucination, though he didn't think so. It was responding to his earlier words of war. He once again lays his palm upon the shrine's frontmost pillar. "I didn't back down, ey? You'd better not turn cold on me, either! Come over here so I can take you on, you almighty bloke! I'll make Bunya up a Pale stew out of you!"
He wasn't afraid of some scripted fish. He'd seen that Gyrados so many days ago now-nothing in the ocean could scare him. All Lucky needed to do now was to wait for the army of eager beta testers to arrive. Nothing could stop a force of greedy powergamers, he was sure of it. This fight would end in victory! Pokemon:

The calm should come as a relief.
It doesn't.
Isn't there a saying for that? The calm before the storm.
Finn expects the notification when it fills his screen.
ACCEPT.
What better way to face his fears than to fight a god of the ocean, eh?

The scream of wind and water fell to a dull roar, then a murmur. The rain ceased. The skies opened above Beta Island even as the tempest swirled, swelled, spun on a single point. The eye of the storm.Yggy looked up. He was soaked, drenched to the bone with his windbreaker still thrown over the Turtwig he'd brought to the Coastline. "Hey, I think we can stop," he said, voice hoarse from screaming over the winds. The beach was covered with vines and greenery from the little grass Pokemon's efforts, locking down sand and stone beneath a mat of moss. The ominous call from Dr. Bunya left him with anticipation twisting in his stomach like fat worms, and a waiting JOIN WORLD EVENT? button hovering in his vision. <Should I stay here?> The turtle's voice quavered with exhaustion. Yggy scooped her up in one arm, wrapping her in his jacket. He could feel himself shivering and tensed, trying to hide the involuntary tremor. "No way. We're in this together. Like a team, remember?"<I remember,> she echoed faintly, then louder, <Let's go.>He hit ACCEPT, and they staggered towards the High Tide Shrine.

Manish was as still as a statue, still as the weather around, still as the dead. Not even a mushroom would sprout at his feet. It was finally happening, the thing that he may have summoned by visiting the Shrine so often was upon them. The preparations were done, the Storm directly over them. He looked down the beach to where Bunya was making the final call to warn everyone. It was here. Really Manish wanted to run. He wanted to put himself somewhere safe and log off, pretend that this never happened, and go back to his normal, quiet life. He almost did, he started to reach for the settings when he looked over at Ryan standing next to him; at the Egg in his arms. He thought about all of his pokemon, all the things they had been through. All the friends he had made since he started playing. No, he couldn’t run and make this someone else’s problem. He caused this (maybe), he should help finish it. He looked back out at the ocean to see something start to rise out of the water, bulging the waves. Manish put on hand on Ryan’s neck and gave a weak smile. “You ready for this?”
Ryan smiled back, <Say less.>Manish hit ACCEPTPokemon

Kath Ulu made it to the shrine.
Everything had built up to this.
She'd done all she could to make the Crater the most defensible place on the island, and it had worked. But it seemed that the Canopy and the Coastline weren't doing too bad either, despite her serious doubts.
No, it looked like her fellow players had the capacity to do great things. And she was happy to join them.
"Alright, goons," she said to her pokemon. "It's time to throw this fish back in the sea!
"Yeah!" They all yelled back. All except for one.
Kath and Treecko locked eyes. This wasn't going to be a problem... was it?
Geodude AKA Axion207 had his laptop, ready for any new data that would help them in the fight.
Scraggy had his pants pulled up all the way, ready to help out his new buddy, Bulby.
Bulby had his vines at the ready. This wasn't his first rodeo.
Grookey had his SACRIFICIAL GOBLET at the ready, unsure of what it did.
And Glaceon was there too.
It was time to weather the storm. Pokemon

Big Bee was exhausted. Already. The raid hadn't even started but he felt like he'd run a marathon, and a night of partying and silently worrying about the fight to come had done little to settle his nerves.
Are they going to love it? Is it even ready? he asked himself, staring at the big bold letters of the invite. The guys in programming have been working overtime to get everything ready. Shit. I hope it's all ready.
He looked up at the countdown, which was sitting at zero. A string of naughts blinking in the sky.
And now here it was. The threshold. The last chance to back out.
It's all lead to this, hasn't it. Big Bee sighed, grinned, and raised a hand high into the sky. "Then let's goooo!" he slapped the accept button, ready what came next.

He made it to the event. Trudging along with his two little Pokemon so that he could participate in it. He'd managed to do a couple of upgrades on the pair of them and himself but he wasn't really sure if he was going to be able to help a lot.
"Here we are..." It was a mess and he was going to have to do his best. At least that's how he figured it.

An hour ago, Orama had kissed his wife goodnight and headed to the den, as if going to war.
He'd spent the next fifty-eight minutes pacing the beaches as Sarah Lee, getting a final look at the land before the raid. Before it changed.
He'd spent the last 48 hours studying ever aspect of the island in his war room. The massive scale model was covered in flags, sticky notes, and little D&D-eqsue figurines of the major players. At this point he could walk the shores and scale the mountains in his mind.
As the timer hit zero, the invite appeared in Sarah's UI. She read it twice, clicked accept, and headed to the Shrine.

Soggy and a little late, Allotta pulled up that message she had minimized earlier. She grinned as she read it over, filling in her pokemon info before hitting 'Accept'.
A great laughing as she kicked up mud and made her way for the battlefield. It sizzled under foot.

"I'm late!" Laguna scrambled as she logged back into the game, double-checking her pokemon in her current party.
The first real raid of the game was beginning in just moments and she might not make it in time! She had missed the immediate preperations for the raid, an unfortunate series of circumstances kept her busy. "Bluh, landlords suck. Probably not more than world-ending fish gods, but I suppose we will see, won't we?"
Glacia her Bergmite was already by her side, excitedly sliding all around as it cried out in agreement with their trainer. They didn't know what a landlord was, but they didn't really care all that much either. Thunder cracked in the distance, and Laguna quickly began to sprint towards the coast.
"I'm coming!" She shouted out to no one in particular, Bergmite sliding around like a hockey puck against the ground.

To understand exactly how Furrlicity got wrapped up in this mess when he clearly had no business being there, you must understand something about MMOs.
There were always rubberneckers.
Those people who would go to areas much too strong for them or to boss battles way over their level. Then they would stay out of the action and watch, more curious about what was happening and wanting a free show. This is what Furrlicity had decided to do. He was a new player with little to no experience, he knew that his buddy Finnegan Fjord was going to be there, thought he even spotted that nerd inari and that guy manish somewhere, so he just wandered in hoping to see what was going to happen.
The only problem was that this wasn't like other MMOs. You got too close and you had to join in.
So, a blast of air had Furrlicity stumble forward to regain his balance.
And that stray footfall toed over the line. It went from 'Furrlicity watching a cool boss battle' to 'Furrlicity was staring a 50k HP bar in the face'.
The sensible thing was to get the HELL out of there.
But he just sighed.
And trudged forwards.

"This is the way the world ends."Click, click. High heels on stone. Bergamot Gristleborg, standing before the gate to the High Tide Shrine, plucked something from her Shinx's muzzle. She held it up, watching the strand bend and waver in the wind. "Not with a bang, but a whisker."Shinx let out a yelp and Morgana shushed it, holding the strand up dramatically like she was about to deliver a Hamlet-style soliloquy. "It's not a stretch if it's poetic. Now... what to do..."The most evil villainess on Beta Island in a World Event? Who could imagine how much damage she could do? Morgana could. And she couldn't wait to begin. "Ohohohohoho! Prepare yourselves for trouble."She passed the threshold, and the High Tide Raid began. SHINX - ESPURR - GLACEON - PIPLUP - GYARADOS - MUDKIP

You're fucking kidding me. I take a lil time off to grind out some fights and pay some bills and this shit happens?
Orion wasn't quite sure what he was looking at, but it looked...dire, like this world was actually in some moderate sense of danger, which was a new, and quite uneasy feeling. Of course, it was a game, but it sure as fuck felt real. Chalk it up to the modded rig he had that was built to do just that, or maybe some grandiose design that some overzealous fuck in japan got down on his grind to craft, but the end result was still the same A bit of bile rose in the back of his throat as his pulse rose a bit. He'd forgotten to do half the shit he was supposed to do, and that pretty AI doc was probably pissed as shit at him, but he couldn't let E-mom down or die, and he sure as hell couldn't see if the Doc was responsive to his flirting if this event actually went sideways and kaiboshed the game world. He gripped his hands tightly and reached for his pokeball. "Aight champ, I know it looks a lil ruff, but it's time for us to go make our Poke Premier Match! Orion Cayge and Achilles the Cat Vs. Whatever the fuck is going on! Lets do it!

They're trying to figure out how to edit their volume when the video, and the invite, pops up on their screen. And, maybe for a second, they hesitate- they just have their Charmander, and one that probably isn't as strong as other people's Pokemon. But on the other hand, there will probably be so many people they won't even notice.
Hopefully, anyways. If they're lucky. Gathering their nerves, they select a button on the screen.
ACCEPT. Taking Charmander! |
