Who: Participants of the Freaky Fusions Boss Battle!
Where: Birth Island, in the Sevii Islands!
When: Thursday, October 29th through Friday, October 30.
Summary: You blinked, and now you've been glitched. And that sure is a spooky-looking Fusion Legendary, all right...
Rating: PG-13; please remember to mark threads accordingly if they go higher!
Log:


Well, draw some intersecting lines and call me a Triforce, this sure is an island, all right.

KEY:

• The GLOWING X at the upper portion of the island is where you will find Mewssingno! It won't be moving around much, so it will always be in the relative top section of the island, furthest from the safe haven for participants in the south. Exercise caution getting close to it, because...

• The PURPLE area surrounding Mewssingno is all area that will be affected by glitches! Inside that area, strange environmental things are likely to occur, such as attacks being deflected, neutralized, or outright disappearing and reappearing somewhere else, as if passing through a very small wormhole in space! You may play around with these effects as much as you like, but they should be contained to this particular area, and remember to ask permission from other players before randomly diverting a Hyper Beam through a wormhole directly at them in tags.

• STANDARD GRASSY areas in the lower part of the map are places in which characters are guaranteed to be safe from Mewssingno's glitches; however, these areas will be overrun by Fusion Abominations, so if you're just here for the garden-variety fighting of SquirtWeedMagneZards, this is probably where you'll be spending a lot of your time!

• The BLUE STAR in the south indicates a guaranteed safe zone from both Mewssingno and the Fusion Abominations. This is the station where a ferry to the island would dock, so you can find places to sit and a general atmosphere of relative quiet in here, making it a good place to store your wounded or to hide out. Characters may notice ICly that the Fusion Abominations and Mewssingno are avoiding this zone, or at least leaving it alone!

Twilight could not have been more relieved to see Riku. She worked well with him, and she could count on him to listen and follow the plan.

"Oh, I saw something coming, just not... this." She gestured around them. "So, Riku, what were you planning to do? Attack the main enemy?"

[islandshore]

"That's the idea, anyway. As far as I'm concerned, those small fry are just distractions-- a meatshield for the big guy." He craned his neck up at the distant beast, whistling at the sight of the surrounding distortions. "But that's if we can even get there. Seems... pretty messy, and I doubt it'll get any easier up close."

[friendyousohard]

"And that's where I come in." She has to admit, that was basically a perfect opportunity to bring up her plan.

"Here's my thought. It's great to have this safe spot, but it's just too far away from the source of all this madness. We need a jumping-off point, an area we can launch attacks from where the attackers won't have to charge through a horde of abominations to get at the source. So here's what I was thinking. I'm going to set up a safe zone just outside that thing's direct area of influence. I'll use my Pokemon to keep the area clear of them and give everyone a chance to rest before taking on the main enemy. But I'll need help clearing it out to begin with..."

[islandshore]

"So you want some backup, huh?" He looks to Flare, who grunts and thumps his fist in his other plan. "Hmm... About how large of a space are we talking? Flare can probably cover things from the air, but I wonder if it'd be easier if we had a few Pokémon designated as Protect support."

They couldn't spam it constantly, but it'd at least give them a small buffer. Enough to hold off extraneous attacks and buy them some extra time.

[friendyousohard]

"It doesn't have to be too much, just enough that people can rest and recover safely without having to worry about these things coming in and attacking them in the middle of it. I figure a circle about fifty feet in diameter should probably be enough. Maybe a bit larger if we can manage it."

His addendum to the plan makes sense enough to her, and she nods. "Half of the team I've brought with me knows Protect, though I'm not sure Tower will enjoy being on the defensive. I think the primary offense should consist of Megasoma and one of yours on a physical basis, and Flare and Tesla on a special attack based one."

[islandshore]

He takes a moment to puzzle over his current roster, massaging his chin and resting his other hand above his belt. "In that case, I'll send Ace to the front lines. If he has to, Flare can help with some physical offense, and the rest of my team..."

He snaps up a Pokéball, cradling it in his palm. "Well, they're either mixed or special attackers. Good news is, I brought my Hydreigon, so if they need a little extra firepower, he can start hitting those fusions like a nuclear blast."

In fact, he'll start tossing out the balls now, unleashing his Nidoking, Haunter, Hydreigon, Lucario, and Blastoise for all to see.

[friendyousohard]

Twilight smiles in approval at Riku's team. "Excellent. I think we might just be able to pull this off if we work together. Now, when it comes to the proper location for the safe zone..."

She ponders the idea for a moment, but really there's only one good choice. "It seems to me that a basic straight line ahead, halfway towards the target, ought to be exactly what we need."
