It was spreading faster and faster across Hoenn. A fastidious infection that now seemed like a pandemic. Lavardige was next to blink across her screen.

“Ugh, damn it!” she slammed the laptop shut and reluctantly rose to follow the trail of the TOXIC CHAINS to the volcano-side city.

The hostile pokemon wrapped in the noxious chains were the same, as always. At least they were predictable. They attacked without prejudice, sometimes even going after their own, dizzy trainers. Lavaridge’s outbreak harbored quite different clinical signs than the previous. She studies them from a distance first, scribbling notes across her tablet in a hurry before dictating her thoughts to her RotomPhone.

“Subjects seem to be demonstrating signs of vertigo. This particular strain of toxin seems to be affecting the vestibular system. Both trainers and pokemon are wrapped in TOXIC CHAINS but the effect varies. Pokemon remain hostile and unpredictable. The human’s loss of vestibular equilibrium causes expected clinical signs of dizziness and nausea, resulting in expected physiologic responses like vomiting and trauma secondary to falling or crashing into stationary objects.

Eva sent Blade and her Blissey out with HEAL PULSES to try and stabilize the patients while officers and rangers fought off the hostile pokemon. There were too many affected townspeople to tackle this alone so she sends the following to the present League volunteers, Officers, and Rangers.

LAVARIDGE OUTBREAK

A TOXIC CHAINS outbreak has struck Lavaridge. Pokemon are demonstrating similar clinical signs of hostility. Approach with caution and proceed with removal of the TOXIC CHAINS expeditiously.

Affected trainers have been struck by a severe case of vestibular syndrome. Clinical signs include extreme loss of equilibrium resulting in nausea, vomiting, trauma, confusion, and mental distress.

Prioritize stabilization via the use of CALMING moves so that you may remove the TOXIC CHAINS. HEAL PULSE appears to be effective in temporarily relieving symptoms. Supportive care with antiemetics, pain medications, and treating secondary traumas can then be used. Severe trauma should be transferred to the nearest hospital ONLY AFTER removal of the TOXIC CHAINS.

Good luck,
Dr. Eva Morales

The past melds together with the present. Something primal rises from the ash with a false sense of righteousness and assurance. A pang of familiarity bleeds through the dragon’s connection with their chosen. They waste not the time nor energy in trying to battle for supremacy with the FALSE SUN. Without their GREEN ORB, it would be a losing battle. Perhaps their reckoning was coming sooner than planned. Both dragon and rider recognize the imminent danger but refuse to acknowledge a reality in which they lost Hoenn to PRIMAL GROUDON’s Earth-shattering ERUPTION.

Melody Miro’s question pulls Eva out of her stupor. She ferries herself through the storm of emotions to find a glimpse of clarity on the other side. She doesn’t see an Elite Four member, or an idol. Eva sees hope. They’re not alone, and they never will be. Hoenn will prevail. Before she has time to respond, THUNDER cracks down from the sky. The electrified air stirs the dragon into action, pulling Eva away from Melody and into a scramble to dodge the incoming attacks. Rayquaza’s own THUNDER rattles the skies, attempting to intercept the bolts as they descend from their heaven.

The now white dragon’s sharp gaze locks on to the threat that needs to be neutralized. The titan claws their way up the mountain towards their throne where they could undoubtedly witness their apocalypse first hand.

No matter how high the peak, the sky would always be higher, and the God of the Skies would reign supreme.

So it is written, and so it shall be.

Rayquaza’s ROAR challenges the THUNDER itself, echoing off the mountain’s peak to reverberate across Hoenn. It demands attention and submission. The first and last warning it would offer their brethren.

Eva’s stomach curls, knowing all too well that the dragon’s demands would never be met, not by the Volatile. When MATIAS SILPH is nowhere to be seen, it's vengeance that sharpens her own resolve that should be driven by justice. Without reluctance, she accepts Rayquaza’s suggestion.

This peace would be won through war.

It was quiet. Peaceful. Only footsteps echoed down the halls of League HQ. It was like being awoken from a dream and stepping into a nightmare. The world inverted and the sudden shift in the balance left her dizzy and uncoordinated. The jagged edges of the broken mug littered the floor amongst the deep brown coffee stain. The arm that held her upright shook beneath the pressure. Her stomach curled, her chest ached, and she just knew.

She knew before the emergency signal screamed.

She knew before the color was drained from this world.

She knew it in her bones, in her soul, that he’d done it: Suicide in his lust for power.

The tether between her and her patron thrummed wildly with an urgency she’d never felt before. It was adrenaline that delivered her from the womb of her grief. The dragon’s prehistoric roar shook the entire building and Eva crawled her way out. The shock passed and gave her strength. She stood, and she ran.

---

An emerald scar tore across the sky towards Mt. Chimney. Feeling the dragon beneath her gave her a sense of clarity, as debilitated as she was by the overwhelming sense of fear. She needed to see it for herself, see his unholy baptism in flames or his bones burned into ash.

The green muted into ivory, and from the heavens they descended into hell; Hoenn’s true revenant and guardian, its holy mother, come to eradicate the devil.

“Ah shit,” she huffed, anxiously tapping her fingers against the pokeballs at her waist as she watched the squirming form of pokemon and trainers alike trapped in the webbing and toxic threads of the volatile Ariados.

“Priority one, get those trainers and pokemon out of the webbing, then we incinerate it,” she clenched a fist and cast if forward, sending the Doublade into the fray with their steely, sharp edges gleaming, “Cut ‘em down!”

The steel-type resisted the arachnids’ poisonous counters and freed the captives with a set of FURY CUTTERs and SACRED SWORDS. Eva rushed in to help guide the wounded to aid.

The Smoochum cradled in her arms was OBLIVIOUS the danger around them. Eva remained safely tucked back from the wave of enthusiastic Phermosa to study the scene around them. A persistent PSYCHIC trickled out from the Smoochum’s tiny hands, slowing any of the insects enough for a Ranger or Officer to smash the TOXIC CHAINS.

Eva was otherwise preoccupied. Her head tilted up while her emerald gaze remained firmly set on the sky. THe PHEROMOSA weren’t the only ones oozing the dangerous PHEROMONES they needed to stay away from. Clear minds would help them get through this - whatever this was.

Her teeth slid over her lip, biting hard as she hugged the Smoochum closer to her chest. Her gut stirred uncomfortably as the theories ran across her mind. One thing was for sure: there was more sinister power at work here. This wasn’t simply an infection spreading across an unsuspecting region: this was orchestrated and designed.

’Doctor Morales, we found this.’

Eva pinched her brows and reached out to take the BRONZE FEATHER, twirling it between her fingers while pondering the significance.

There was nothing special about the Barraskewda or the rider. They didn’t have a Sygna Suit, the pokemon couldn’t mega evolve, or use Z-moves. They didn’t need it! Eva was confident in the water-type’s ability to rock this course just like they had nearly two years ago.

Wow! Had it really been that long ago?

Eva finished up greeting some fans and taking some pictures and made her way to the starting line. She tugged the race suitable bikini in place and fitted the Baraskewda with his reins. Unfortunately, her positioning wasn’t ideal but that just gave her the opportunity for an impressive comeback! She found her spot between Davey Jones and Elise Calcifet. She gave the ambassador a thumbs up, “Good luck out there!”

Sitting in the last seed was Gwyar Wledig. Eva looked back and gave him and the familiar Aegislash a wave, “Race you to the front!” she teased with a playful smile before readying herself and her pokemon for the starting buzzer.

Eva peered over the edge of the cliff and down onto the quiet encampment. It was strange being so high with no winds to stir her messy blonde hair. The skinny cliff reminded her of her cottage on Ever Grande. Instead of an encampment, she’d be staring down at the rough waves of the Hoenn sea smacking against the cliff face.

It had been a while since she had participated in a mission like this. Typically her’s were mostly centered on research and information gathering. A full military operation had become foreign to her. The sharp shot that echoed across the cavern’s tall walls woke her up from her thoughts like an alarm clock. The little shadows of the Triad grunts scattered and raced across the encampment. Some disappeared in flashes while others searched for a source.

“Alright, here we go,” she nodded to Blade who disappeared in a flash to request support from Jirachi and the League. They returned in the blink of an eye, the little star in tow.

Jiii! it sang, happy to see the Professor again, “Jirachi!” she smiled, smoothing out the pokemon’s ribbons in a display of affection, “If you wouldn’t mind,” her and swept over the encampment to indicate the target. The Wish Pokemon cooed and twirled in place, rising above them to gather the energy necessary. They glowed like the north star: bright and promising. Unfortunately, it attracted the wrong attention.

An Unown’s HIDDEN POWER blasted at them from below. Blade was quick to deflect the beam with a well-placed PROTECT. It struck the cliffside, rumbling the fragile slabs of rock beneath them. Eva could feel it giving way. The cracks stretched to her feet and the sturdy stone shattered, “Protect Jirachi,” she managed to command the Gallade before the cliff gave away and she was sent tumbling down towards the encampment.

He’s not completely dismissive, if only to placate her stubbornness. She’d take it. Progress!

“Yeah, we can go,” she checks her tablet - the time in particular, “I gotta go meet Freya, anyway,” there is a Research Station that she needs to get back in working order. Eventually, she’ll silently slip away like a fading memory.

Well, he sure knew how to keep her on her toes too. His answer certainly wasn’t what she was expecting. So much so that it really caught her off guard. She blinked up at him with wide green eyes, a flush slowly rising in the heat of her cheeks. She was speechless for a moment and when her mouth opened to say something, nothing came out.

Snap out of it, you fool.

Eva let a little smile replace the rather embarrassingly dumb look on her face, “Hmm,” she shrugged slightly, how could she resist that? “Let me buy you a drink and maybe I will,” because no bad decisions ever came from getting a drink.

Andrea’s enthusiasm never ceased to make Eva smile, “Enteisaurus? Sounds perfect,” Taima nudged Eva’s hand for more scratches while the Entei-like pokemon accepted Andrea’s offer and submitted to the pokeball.

Eva took one last look back in the direction the Walking Wake fled. There was no sign of the primal beast. She’d have to come back later if she wanted to get some more samples, “Yeah, I think you’re right. What do you think, Tai?” the Manectric snorted and started trotting back in the direction they had come from. Eva began to follow, “Congrats on your new partner! That’ll be awesome! Did you notice when it ~” and as they wandered back Eva would fill the silence with a play by play analysis of the battle between the two beasts and her theories on the pokemon. Hopefully Andrea didn’t find it too boring as she droned on.

She called Matias a fool once for refusing to believe what is true and believing what is not true. Really, Eva is the fool, through and through. She knows not to expect anything different, but she did so anyway. Hope can be powerful but it can also be the sharp blade that kills by a thousand cuts.

She shouldn’t care so much, because he doesn't. She does so anyway.

She shouldn’t try so hard to save him because he wouldn’t do the same for her. She does so anyway.

Not only is she a fool, but she’s delusional. That delusion is what many would call hope, and Eva Morales is a beacon of hope.

Whether he chooses to or not, she’d be the beacon of light in the dark to carve a path home. She’s the lighthouse, beaten, decaying, and abandoned but shining, nonetheless, on the shore of what might seem like an endless abyss. No matter how far he falls, if he turns around he’ll see it there in the distance: the faintest of lights blinking like a heartbeat.

“I’m not wrong. You’ll see it eventually,” she could be equally as stubborn.
