THEO BECKETT
AZ EXCURSION A: EXPLORE

POSTED ON Feb 29, 2024 3:22:29 GMT

a stroll in the wilds was a good trip for priam. the sun was shining so much more brightly than normal that it just feels like a morning walk to get their daily vitamin d.

priam ignores the fact that strong sunlight affects paradox pokemon, which are common in the area, that makes them better in combat.

"you're ready to hunt down one of those paradox pokemon with me, right?" he asks again just to make sure.

that's what they said about area zero: it's a place full of tera crystals and infested with paradox pokemon. priam honestly doesn't care much about the spoils, but it's the experience that makes the trip worth it.

"it's goin' to be like a day in the viridian forest! y'know, huntin' bugs and shit. did ya do all those stuff too as a kid?"

before rocket, he hadn't left cinnabar at all, too attached to his family to even consider the thought of being away from them.[break][break]

"nope!" he answers easily. "i wasn't really important enough to be assigned anywhere far. plus, vermillion's already got me busy with work there."

it was the port city of kanto after all, where rocket gets their supplies and reinforcement, as well as the league's side of things. there was a reason why rocket concentrated on slateport when they first arrived on hoenn.

"vermillion's still got its beaches though! oh, and good fishing spots! we see lapras once in a while too!"

he focuses on saying the positives of his hometown in an attempt to shadow his bleak kanto life.

he hadn't been privy to taking vacations when he was young, forced to work at an early age to support his struggling family. he didn't quite mind it, though. cinnabar was quiet and comfortable.[break][break]

"are there even any paradox fish?"

the question sticks to his head. it only takes moments for him to fixate on it.

"ooh! let's go fishing! do you want to go back and grab some fishing rods?"

he takes out their map provided by them by the first few people who scoured the place. there weren't much landmarks and it barely contains the entire geography, but it's better than nothing.

"maybe there's, like, water places deeper in area zero! let's look for those first!"

"there's walking wake. you could choose to see it as a fish out of water."[break][break]

at priam's suggestion to head back, he raises his hand and shakes his head.[break][break]

"no need."[break][break]

because he comes prepared.[break][break]

from his coat, he pulls out pen-like objects and offers one to priam.[break][break]

"i made these myself."[break][break]

they click and expand out to be actual fishing rods, except they maintain their small, thin frames.[break][break]

he whips it in the air, playing with it to get a feel of the fishing tool.

"yo, these are cool!"

he retracts and expands it, surprisingly infatuated by the collapsible fishing rod that theo hands over to him. like a kid getting a toy for christmas, the excitement over something small was openly observed.

"how strong are these?" he asks. "can we get a walking wake with this?"

"they work fine with your regular fishies. with a walking wake, however, i'm not too sure."[break][break]

coincidentally, he hears a roar crying from deep within the caverns as though it calls out to them with an invite.[break][break]

his head tilts back and forth before finding priam's gaze.[break][break]

"but let's find out."[break][break]

eyes widen with the invitation for adventure.

"let's go! let's go!"

just as they take their first few steps towards the direction of a roar, an earthquake shakes the ground. priam stops for a moment before resuming any movement a second later.

"woah. they're heavy as fuck if they sound like that," he says, mistaking it for the paradox pokemon's steps. "i heard about them alpha pokemon. maybe they're alpha paradox pokemon!"

one of the monstrous chimeras being larger than average would be a sight to behold.

"i think they're just big. big enough to ride, at least."[break][break]

not that they should even think to try and ride a walking wake. that sounds like a recipe for disaster, but then again, so does fishing for one.[break][break]

without delay, they venture towards the source of the roar. he clicks his fishing pen every now and then as though he's using it for echolocation but in reality he just likes the sound of it.[break][break]

"up ahead."[break][break]

inside, they find an opening on one of the mountain's sides. the cave was dark, but the sound of dripping water echoes inside of its walls.

next to it was a paradox pokemon unlike any that have graced hoenn's lands before. this is what priam imagined fossil pokemon should look like, and it wasn't surprising that this is what they appear as given that they're supposedly from dreams.

"which way do we go?" he asks.

on one hand, the paradox pokemon doesn't seem to take notice of them. if it was actually as great as the real deal, he even guesses that it just doesn't care much about them as long as they don't approach.

on the other hand, fishing.

"this shouldn't take us too long."[break][break]

it's less of a detour and more of an opportunity to capture a prized paradox pokemon. two against one should make it easier than usual along with the fact that it'll be caught off guard, making it an ambush.[break][break]

but, fishing.[break][break]

"let's jump it."[break][break]

with great enthusiasm, he leads the way inside the cave. a coin he found just outside of it tries to tell priam that it's good luck.

it wasn't a cave, though. what they thought was an opening to the side of the mountain was instead a window to giratina's domain that they once saw on mt. pyre before. the sound of water was simply the inverted waterfall that appears in it.

A rift to the DISTORTION WORLD opens briefly, like an opening eye. Peering into it fills priam and theo with dread.

"uh, i think this is the time to head back."

he would have attempted to stay longer, but the underlying feeling of something similar to what happened in ultra deep sea occurring again stops him from being adventurous.
