Once a peaceful, resort area in Johto, has been plagued by the insufferable rebels known as Nox. On August 18th this year, the rebels swarmed the beaches of this otherwise unprepared town and wreaked havoc on the civilians. Without much warning, Lux was severely lacking in the resources to fend off the invasion. Nox ruthlessly won this small town, which has now been reduced to ruin. The sky was clear and the time was early morning when the first ship entered the bay town, which carried approximately 1500 Nox foot soldiers. As the boat docked, the warriors flooded out, setting up their striking position before the sun rose in the sky. By the time Lux had been alerted to the situation, the Nox battalion was almost to the city’s borders. More ships arrived shortly after bringing in a fleet of approximately 10,000 men and women fighters to the shores of Olivine on that dreadful morning. Without much warning at all, Lux’s forces scrambled to set up a defensive position. They held out for a while, but the Nox forces were just too great in numbers. Nox surged through the first line of defensive, pushing Lux back into a corner. It looked like the intended target of the attack was Olivine Lighthouse. Sources recalled that the “[Nox soldiers who infiltrated the lighthouse] saved Amphy before tearing it down in a downpour of debris and rubble.” There were more than a handful of big names fighting in this battle, for both sides. Some names to note on the Nox side would include Alyssa Akiyama, alleged new Nox Leader for the Hoenn region, Gold Harberlein, and Silver Corleone, the duo of Johto. They ravaged the Lux forces that they came into contact with without fail. In fact, Alyssa tore through poor Wally as if she was a hot knife cutting through butter, using the help of her trusty Flygon. Alyssa was headed straight for the lighthouse off the bat, but Wally was there to defend it. Sadly, he was no match for the might of the dragon-wielding trainer and fell to her mercy. Gold met Xander Cromwell on the battlefield, but not for long. Xander fled to help out in the air before too long, leaving an open passage for Gold to plow on through up until he met Platinum, who had previously pushed Edge, a Nox soldier, back into submission. Sadly, after her Pokemon had expended most of their strength on Edge, Gold easily took care of them, advancing to help his fellow soldiers tear down the Lighthouse. Silver fought Leaf, but it seemed like a lost cause from the beginning for our very own Lux princess. Her Riachu against Silver’s Tyranitar? Who wouldn’t run away in terror, surrendering to fight another day? Leaf, bold as her friend Red, fought with a vigor that should ignite all of us, but it was for naught. Silver’s might over powered her, and he advanced to help with the Lighthouse. This tragic day will forever be remembered as the day that Nox showed how much they could do, that they had no boundaries, and needed to be stopped. If it was ever a question before, now it was certain. The League has put out a press statement, highlighting the faults of the defense and how they were taking more precautions to thwart Nox. They will now be on the offensive more often. The conditions in Olivine have drastically dropped. They’re in a state of post-destruction reconstruction and crime rates have escalated. Lux has no hold there anymore, and thus no police. Be careful and fully prepared if you’re heading to the area anytime soon.[/style]

MISSIONS

o1.LUX - WHITE + PLATINUM

[/i]

Look, I know we just got out of the city, but I'm sending you back in. Get to the gym; there's a vault in the back we stored all our ciphers and decoders. Obviously, we're screwed if Nox finds it. The city's in chaos right now, and Nox can't be that vigilant. Sneak into the city, or fight your way in, it doesn't matter. Get to the vault. Retrieve the ciphers if you can, destroy them if not.

2 Lux characters.

o2. LUX + NOX - HAYATO + 1 NOX

It's war, and war means hostages. Nox has some officers, and Lux has some of our best leaders. Obviously, both sides want them back, and for once, we're hoping to settle this peaceably. Meet at the entrance of the city with the hostages to perform the swap. Both sides will be backed up by ace trainers just in case this goes wrong. Try to make sure tensions and big guns don't turn into another open battle.

1 Lux character, 1 Nox character, and however many NPC hostages and back-up troops you'd like to deal with.

o3. NOX - 2 characters

We found a soldier making calls on his poketch to the Lux bigwigs, and he was talking about important, using codes and everything. We can't break their cipher yet, but we know that Lux is sending troops against us. We need more info. Talk to the soldier, or "talk" to the soldier. We don't care about your methods, just find out what sort of attacks we can expect in the next few days.

2 Nox characters one NPC Lux soldier.

PROMPTS

o1. NOX The Lighthouse fell, crashing down into the city, and then there's the damages from the pokemon battles: explosions, outrages, fissures, earthquakes, blizzards.. There's debris everywhere, but worse, there's bodies. They need to be found and moved; corpses are being lined up neatly on the main street. Civilians are terrified of the Nox forces in the city, but eventually they come out to help identify the bodies. You should probably help clean up the city, clear away rubble and bury the bodies. - ( DANTE + EMIL + LUNE )

o2.LUX If you didn't have a flying pokemon, or if that pokemon had already fainted, it was damn hard to flee the city, but you guys managed. The wharfs were on fire from a few too many overheats and incinerates, but some of you hijacked one of the Nox ships and set it on course to Cianwood. Now you have to tend to the wounded--and there's a lot of wounded--and if there's dead, well, they go overboard. Also: does anyone here actually know how to sail a ship?
( HADRIAN + ? )[/b]

o3. LUX Well, shit. This is Johto, where Lux reigns supreme, but now there's a Nox foothold on a major port! What on earth? Lux is scrabbling to stage a follow-up offensive asaault to reclaim the city, but what they're ending up with is hastily put together strike forces. They're elite, but a couple of trainers alone aren't going to force Nox out of the city. Still, you have to try. - ( RIC + ? )

o4. NOX Alright, so now you've got a city sitting in the heart of Lux territory. Is this... good news? You're surrounded by enemies by land, and Cianwood's just a hop skip and jump away by sea. Plus, the civilians aren't exactly happy with you for attacking their city and tearing down their lighthouse; public approval is not good. What's Nox to do to make sure they hold the city against all odds?

[balendin]

So I was thinking, maybe a block or two of the city is still holding out. A bunch of civilians and a handful of Lux military are keeping the Nox forces at bay, but they are quickly running out of food and other supplies. Now some Lux members need to either bust or sneak through the surrounding Nox and ferry out civilians to safety be it by land, sea, or air. Once the civilians are safe, they need to try to get out the military personnel before they become martyrs.

Missions/Prompts/NPCs are complete and open for sign-ups. C'mon, guys, let's make this new idea thingy work!

[zymology]

I'm up for prompt 2 - anyone that wants can join, ye? I'll edit in the thread link here when it's done ^^

edit - link is done

PROMPT 3

This isn't necessarily part of the 'retaking of Olivine' but it is a precursor at the minimum. I didn't know of this prompt before I began this mini campaign in my mind but I suppose I should let people notice: There Will Be Blood is the beginning of Ric's private campaign of terror against the Nox. This first attack is rather noisy but low key enough that he can hide for a bit and not catch any flack. If people want to move in on Olivine and attack after this, by all means do so. If not, Ric shall return to unleash more death and devastation

[tsundere]

i'm down for prompt 2 as well.

[banter]

I'm going to join in on prompt two, if that's alright.

[mikaelrogers]

Creating a new thread for Prompt 3. Mikael needs to test out his newest tank. I'll put the link here once it's up.
