[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!]

If you have anything to say about how this went, let us know!

POLICE REPORT

[indigo_league]

If your character has anything to report to the Jennies, stick it in here! Note that this is an OOC report, not an IC one.

[lordofthefries]

Sasha would like to state the fact that for a event that claimed to be a fancy party where she had to put on a stuffy dress, there was an extreme lack of meat on the buffet tables and this is just criminal. Next time, less vegetables, more cooked animals.

Fry up a Grunt if you have to.

[faintwaves]

Complaint lodged from Xion's Smeargle, in crude writing in red paint on a piece of destroyed wood:

"DESROID WOOD THING :(

PAINTED FLOWS ON IT WORKD HARD!!!

PLES HELP"

[tearsofademon]

Ryner and Sion tied up a couple of Faceless NPC Grunts during the initial battle. Elfy the Ditto was dutifully guarding them during Basement Spelunking Expeditions, so they're being handed over to be put into custody.

(Ryner may have knocked one of them out with a violence, but he's not going to deliberately bring that up.)

ETA: Sion would like to add that they tied them up with their own shirts because they had no rope on hand.

[sunnysidewalkstreet]

Prompto will show Jennies some pictures of the base, though he needs comforting he is not doing well. (But not of the spacecat, those pics are his.)

But meanwhile, Haurchefant will speak of the imprisoned Pokemon and tell them to make sure they're safe, but also tell them of the traps and also the invites in general - a little curious that they hadn't been investigated for foul play.

[schachmeister]

Yeah. Armin got's a report to make. It's actually not very funny.

Some Handsome fiend stole his pokemon and he'll be making a missing pokemon report. He was a good sandcastle, Officer. A very good sandcastle.

Rakka would like to make a statement to the Jennies about the many caged pokemon that were in the mansion. They're very sad, so if anyone would like to give them a home, or help them back to their own homes, that would be appreciated!!!

[fuelthefire]

I can't remember the last time I participated in such a fun and well planned out mod event! Thank you so much for all the hard work and time you put into bringing this together and sharing it with everyone! ♥♥♥

[foolishwren]

Heather, in passing, will hastily reassure a baffled Jenny "What? Oh, yeah, no, we brought all this stuff for the party! We're just... bringing it home, now... getting it outta your way... thanks for your service officers, keep up the good work!" as she and a small army of people following behind her drag the Ball Pit, the foozeball table, various other items from the Rocket rec room, and copious amounts of looted alcohol out of the Manor.

I definitely had a blast for my first PvP adventure! I'm looking forward to more like it, especially when there's going to be more open chances for Rocket to win and I can't wait to see what our fantastic prizes are gonna be either (or punishments for the Rockets who failed to impress).
