[With the Elite Four found in one piece, and when the last of the Electrodes stops powering Nephelis' cage, it seems that this strange and dangerous prom has turned out for the better. Once the energy around Nephelis fades, the nebulae of its fur blooms anew, and it takes a deep breath in and roars. The sound isn't nearly as rich as it should be, but that's understandable - the creature needs rest and time away from captivity to truly regain its strength. For now, at the very least it can thank all the trainers and Pokemon that risked their well-being.
With a growl, Nephelis pushes through the door to the camera room, then through into the hallway, taking down the monitors with it. It roars again to catch the attention of the trainers clustered around the Elite Four and whoever else might be lingering, and then backs up with a butt wiggle, glaring at the base wall in front of it, before charging forward and bursting through the wall...
And it keeps going.
You'd think Nephelis was using Dig, but from the hole left in its wake, it's clearly something that was made laborously by human hands. The Space Cat is just revealing an alternate path - and it's going up. After a few moments, there's a distinct crash, and natural light filters through from above. The cool breeze of a spring night wafts in...it's worth the effort to climb up and check out where this tunnel leads, and boy, are you in for a surprise.
When you emerge, you'll find that the shoddy gazebo from the backyard of the Elite Four's mansion is now in pieces around the hole you came out of - at least now you have an idea of how Team Rocket pulled off their crazy stunt. Nephelis waits for everyone to emerge, the end of its tail twitching in anticipation, and once you've all made your way back to the surface, it roars one more time before bounding off and up, up into the night sky, the strange sheen of a force field melting in its wake as the heavens above fill with stars, too many to count, flecking galaxies and ribbons of nebula. For a moment, there is a collective peace, unwavering awe...
And then the Jennys swarm in, as well as the many guests who, somehow, were caught outside of the mansion when the action went down. The head officer looks exhausted, but relieved to see that so many people and Pokemon are safe, and opens her arms wide.]
Thank goodness! We've been trying to get to you hostages for a week - we were all so worried! [She doesn't pause to answer any mumblings or shouts of surprise at the timespan - a week, is that really how long it's been?!] Please stay calm, we've got a team of Joys in the front yard with medical equipment and anything you need to help combat the shock. Don't worry, we'll make sure you all get to the closest Pokemon Centers, but we'd like to make sure you're all okay, so we have to ask that you stay the night for questioning and any health treatment you might need.
[The head officer leaves it at that - though there are so many questions left unanswered, checking in with anybody who you might've been parted with, either in the fight or by the force field, sounds great right about now. Jennys and Joys will be escorting people out of the mansion and away from the backyard as quick as possible, answering questions to the best of their ability and asking YOU questions, too! What exactly happened in there? What did you see? Are there any Rockets still around that can be taken into custody? Was a Pokemon taken from you? Let them know!]

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE, YOU DID IT! You beat all the challenges and obstacles and got the good ending to the Rocket Prom! The event itself is now ICly concluded, but PLEASE FEEL FREE to keep tagging the prom, the battle, and the secret base for as long as you want! This event went by quick, but if you haven't had time to tag in everywhere you want, you still can! We’re also going to keep giving out item RNGs for as long as people keep asking for them.

Seeing as how this was our first big event, we’ve also got a Player Feedback comment down below. Please let us know how we did and if there’s anything we should keep in mind in the future!
