ilisha couldn't help but gasp when she saw the familiar shrine up in flames. this was awful--nope, beyond awful. "i-i can try control the flames," ilisha said as she shakily pulled out a pokeball. "stop it spreading."

she threw the pokeball and out came a rather unimpressive bird pokemon who's usually annoying ability finally had a chance to be useful. it started to rain.

... yeah, no, the rain would help stop other things from catching fire, but ilisha saw that she'd have to go all out here. she brought out her other two pokemon and instructed them to blast the flames with as much water as they could - only remembering to hurriedly add as an afterthought, "but, like, not strong enough to knock down the shrine. we don't need to be cursed with a thousand years of bad luck or whatever."




up to you if ilisha's talking to emma in the first paragraph or talking to herself.

Emma normally didn't give a shit about what went on around her. But, she wasn't really the type to allow nonsense to continue. And in this case, she considered setting fire to ancient, respected shrines to be complete nonsense.

The smell of smoke was what told her something was wrong, followed by the whispy tendrils of it that drifted between the trees.

She followed it, her body tense with irritation. She really didn't have the time to be distracted worrying about stupid teenagers being dickheads and setting fire to shit. Drunkenness did not condone idiocy.

When Emma arrived, she noticed another younger Rocket grunt already attempting to put out the flames. The rain was falling down rather heavily, immediately soaking the collar of her shirt. She pulled her hair into a bun to prevent it hanging heavy with wetness on her shoulders before she also released a couple of her Pokemon.

Lycanroc stood next to her, tense as he watched the flames climb the side of the shrine.

"Rock slide, but try not to destroy the shrine. Keep it intact, just snuff out the biggest flames."

She then turned to her Crobat, who hovered beside her while he patiently awaited orders.

"Air slash, try to blow out the flames, I guess."

The Crobat then began to slice the air with powerful strokes of his wings. They seemed to separate the flames to some extent, perhaps allowing the rain and water to extinguish the flames a little more effectively.

Meanwhile, Lycanroc was heaving muddy rock slides towards the sides of the shrine, choking some of the embers.

her heart seized up for a second at the sight of the rock-slide, but the awesome pokemon nearby was a dead-giveaway that the rockslide wasn't uncontrolled or unintentional. from the cool canine pokemon, ilisha saw who could only be the woman who commanded it, and there was a four-winged bat too...

the flying attacks weren't really helping all that much - blowing the rain around and feeding the flames - but just as ilisha was about to say so, she shut her mouth, suddenly remembering the woman's face. she was a higher-up in the rocket rankings. it felt... safer to not contradict her.

"nice--" ilisha started to say instead, but someone had grabbed her arm. some old man who knew her name (if flagtail girl counted as a name) and was going on about the deity of the shrine still being inside.

"we-we're working as fast as we can," ilisha said in her and her pokemon's defence. "any more force and things might get broken."

the old man looked at her in an uncomfortably stubborn way.

"i can't go in there," ilisha protested. if she died in there, there would be no one left to look after her brother.

the old man continued to stare her down, not blinking even once. ilisha looked over his balding head and motioned to the other woman. "maybe she can? she looks tough."

Her jaw set as the flames seemed to rise thanks to Crobat's 'help.' She wasn't an expert at fire fighting, as one could tell.

Emma waved the flying type back, and he promptly returned, perhaps a little bummed that he couldn't be of more help.

Lycanroc, on the other hand, was adept at his duty. The rock slides were snuffing out a lot of the flames and also giving helpful structure to the collapsing buildings. In a way, he was propping up the temple.

The woman glanced back as she saw Ilisha be dragged to the side. Lycanroc continued slinging mud and rocks to choke the flames, and with Crobat no longer assisting, the work was going much faster.

At the mention of herself, Emma glanced back inside. It wasn't in her best interest to go diving into a furnace, but it didn't appear that anyone else was standing up to volunteer. As far as she could tell, there was no one remaining near the temple.

Unfortunately, that couldn't be said for the deity trapped inside.

She growled, both in frustration and in anger, as she took a step forward.

"Well if no one else is gonna step up, I guess I'll have to."

Emma sprinted for the opening just as her Lycanroc gave her a confirming nod. The two dove into the flames as a unit, pressing forward despite the heat. It was unlikely they would save this temple, but they could at least save the person inside.

"Where are you? We're here to rescue you."

She almost cringed at how cliche that sounded.
