As for my main action, well an abandoned prison sounds like the perfect place for a stalker to hide, so I'll seach the (54a) Main Prison Structure
Lycellus has equipped the [|AW| Military War Sword] (Adds 1d10 damage to successful attack rolls) and has added [|AW| Veteran’s Warhammer] (Adds 4 damage to successful attack rolls), [|DA| Shadowmarch Special Forces Armor] (Reduces incoming Health damage by 4 points each time Health damage is taken, prevents Super-Effective damage effects) and [|AW| Shadowmarch Azathoth Armament] (Adds 3d8+5 damage to successful attack rolls, requires following to turn to be used to reload after each attack) to the Team Inventory.
You decide to head east this morning toward the Main Prison Structure of the Exacta City Maximum Security Prison, which as you’ve heard, doesn’t have a lot of very nice stories about it. Meanwhile, your journey isn’t a very pleasant one as the dust and sandy winds and terrible air quality make your flight toward the prisoner island a particularly distasteful one. Thankfully, due to your speed, it’s over quickly and on top of that benefit, you don’t get spotted by any ghouls or chimeras as you use the dusty clouds to shroud yourself during the flight.
Once you arrive on the island, you can see it’s been vacated for a while, though there are still plenty of grim reminders about what went on in this beige-color stone brick structure meant to withstand the heaviest and most brutal of Pokémon violence. You imagine to hold captive Pokémon that can cause earthquakes, explosions, infernos, and all kinds of other havoc, you would need a very strong and formidable structure to hold in those kinds of ruffians and all of their murderous anger and destructive nature.
Despite OMEN’s effects, the building still looks quite strong and it doesn’t look like there’s a whole lot of places where a Pokémon could escape, even if they had wings or could dig holes. It appears there’s means to deal with any Pokémon trying to escape, including even sentry turrets designed to simply gun down any Pokémon attempting to escape through the air.
You start by investigating the outside, realizing there isn’t enough room for you to actually enter the building itself. But despite this you decide to explore at least what you can from the tiny slitted and barred windows, seeing various prison halls and cell blocks from the other side. They appear empty and completely devoid of Pokémon, though the bunk beds and other furniture still remain untouched all this time. Still, the inside of the building is very bland, gray, and downright depressing. You recall that all of the inmates were executed in the wake of OMEN, as the prison had to be shut down due to the dangers, but the prisoners simply couldn’t be allowed to leave due to their violent and often deadly convictions. It essentially left no good choice in the matter.
As you search each room from the windows, you can’t help but think of the question “just where were all the prisoners executed anyway?” And how? It makes you wonder how it would have been done as very likely if the prisoners knew what was going on, they would have all fought ferociously to prevent their inevitable deaths. It likely would have had to be done all at once with no indication as to what was being done.
And then, you find your answer. After looking at the outside, you see a closed garage-like door leading to a room. A very large, heavily fortified and reinforced room. And after opening that garage-like door and peering your head in, you’re greeted with one of the grimmest sights you’ve ever seen. Fragments of shrapnel and bloody pieces lay scattered and splattered everywhere.
You imagine hundreds of Pokémon prisoners, both large and small and of every type and in between, were ushered to this room with no knowledge of what was going down. And then, you imagine the doors were sealed tight, the guards walked away, and inside this massive room, hundreds, if not thousands of explosives went off at once, containing the vicious blasts, but absolutely obliterating every single last prisoner in this room in just a second.
The experience gets progressively worse as you suddenly experience visions and hallucinations of the horrific incident. You see it happen unfold before you, as if you were a prisoner there yourself at the time it happened, having no idea what this was gathering was for, but you were led to believe it was for either a roll call or as a different setting for prison yard recess.
And then, they close the doors. Second later, there’s unrest among the prisoners, but before any kind of confrontation breaks out, there’s just a loud roar. You maybe only see and hear a split second of one explosion and the gored remains of several Pokémon thrown in the air all around you before you’re c̤̠̮̞͇ͦ̽̂ͩ̇̄ͭo̰̻ͯ̉̈̍ͭ͆n̩̹͉̱̣̥͎̎̾͑̑ͯ̇s̭̿ͦ̐u̯̳͖̩̦ͦmͪ ̭͈̱̯̩̩̆͌ͫȅ͎͈͖̩̔̈́͐̈́d͚̹̫ ̼̈́̄͗̌ͫb̯̠͒̍ͪͤy̗̼͚͓̫̆̃͊̂̚ ̣̾i͙̱̦̞̝͙̋̀ͥ̾̃͊͒ẗ̪̦͇̑̔̆̎̑ ̖̜̼̖͙ͥ̿̓̔a̫̋ͫͣͥ̌̅͌s̰̠̩͕̘̭̔̆̔̃ͮ̽ ̓̓w̫̖̫͖̬ȇ͙̮͖̦̙̀̊͂̒̑l͕̼͛͑ͩl͙̖͑̋ͭ…
@Siphon Soul (6 Purity Damage)@
Lycellus has taken 6 damage to Purity.
You feel… h̞̱̫̣̖o̦̖̟l͎͖͚̬l͚̲o̭ẉ̫. Your eyes roll back into your head and are nearly swallowed by your skull.

And yet, for your suffering, you’re given… a gift. You look down at your claws and you find a globe-like sphere containing… a piece of your spirit, taking the form of a white-colored, glowing mist. The very part of your own innocence, physically extracted from you and put into physical form. You try to break it open to claim it back, but there’s nothing you can do. You simply just hold a small piece of yourself, as if prepared to be used as some dark ritual offering…
[Innocence of Lycellus the Eternatus] has been added to the Team Inventory.
After this whole experience, you decide not to spend another second there, instantly retreating and heading back to base. As much as you want to forget what you just witnessed, there is no erasing the horrors and experience you just went through. You almost begin to consider never sleeping again just from the absolute raw and naked fear you have regarding what kinds of nightmares this incident will inspire.
Once you arrive back at the steel mill, you simply add the globe containing your innocence to the collection, quivering, quaking, no longer feeling anything like your normal self…
