[M][C/Kazu] Desert Detour

In the fallout of the Volatile's attacks on Mount Chimney, a large breeding center in the area had been leveled, dozens of Pokémon eggs crushed. Elite Ranger, now Champion, had been tasked with ferrying the few eggs that survived to Fallarbor Town, where the business would be relocating until it could secure a new building in the town atop the volcano's foothills. There was just one problem: the wind was picking up. Getting to Fallarbor would necessitate a desert crossing, and visibility could become an issue.

"You got the Pokémon for this trip?" Josh asked , unhappy he couldn't bring any of his big cats. Rambi the Rhyhorn carried the eggs, the rock-type swift and well-equipped to handle a sandstorm should one pop up. Josh himself was seated on Ghalta, a Tyrantrum that was smaller than the norm but still plenty large to carry two people if need be. Aleph the Type: Null served as their guard in case any egg-napping wilds wanted to bother them. Other Pokémon well-adapted to desert travel were on his belt, as well. He hoped he wouldn't need to use too many of them.

Though part of Rocket, Kazu had deep ties to Mount Chimney.
That volcano’s grumbling had provided for his family for centuries. As far as the family history went, so did their association with it. He remembered when that breeding center opened. The stupid look on his face when he saw an incubator for the first time was stuck in a photo album somewhere. So, when he heard of the attack, the mercenary decided to lend a hand to recovery efforts.
[break][break]

His side didn’t necessarily want species to go extinct after all.
[break][break]

To his surprise, he found himself paired with the recently crowned Champion. "I hear congratulations are in order." He was sad it wasn't televised. Dissecting such battles was useful. WHen he speaks next, there's a teasing shine to his golden eyes. “I'm surprised Lopez went easy on you.” His strongest foe had been a Metagross, not a bird that could create gods from corpses. Still, it’d be fun to test his mettle one day.
[break][break]

Pity that guy was wandering circles in hell.
[break][break]

At the question, Kazuya pondered for a moment. His size made it difficult for him to mount most standard Pokemon. "Yeah.” But he also didn’t fancy cozying up to the twink on his dinosaur. It’d look awkward. And he wasn’t trying to get in any tabloids. "I’ve got a couple.” As his hand reached for his Mamoswine’s ball, the white-haired man paused. Sweat already rolled down the back of his tank top. His buddy would be miserable in weather like this. It’d also probably sink in a dune.
[break][break]

Eventually, a male Hippowdon appears. “Hold still, Ryusa.” The lumbering beast does as it's told as a harness is tightened around it. The basket of extra eggs he has is lowered into the provided holder. Another Pokemon joined the fray moments later—a still wild, still raging long-necked electric type. The cloud around its neck is a deep gold, with blue markings flowing from its eyes like waterfalls through rock.
[break][break]

The first word comes out gabled, the modulator replacing his faux tones with an electronic rumble. “Ikazuchi will keep watch.” The beast turned to him and snarled. Kazuya chortled.

"...Thanks," Josh humbly replied. "Thought I wish it wasn't preceding such grim circumstances." He was slowly getting over losing Kyle. Slowly. Even in the face of loss, a Champion had to remain strong... particularly the last one Kyle had crowned before his passing. "Was Kyle's request the battle remained private for now." They would release the footage to the public eventually. Due to the passing of the Sacred Ash Raikou, it was strategic to the League to keep the event under wraps.

While they didn't seem terribly fast, the Mamoswine and Hippowdon would keep Kazuya's share of the eggs safe. Plus, they were more adapted to navigating the desert. What surprised Josh more was the presence of yet another Hoennian Raikou. He froze when he saw the Raging Bolt's colors: they were identical to the Raikou tempted Josh with during the night Father Winter visited, presenting him with an alternate history where the Gym Leader's nobility cost him his life.

He needed not worry about that history now. Raikou -- as real of a Raikou as Josh believed it to be -- was his. His hands were tied in Swift's use until the invasion began, though.

Just how many of these paradox Beasts were there?!
