When the primordial Entei took its sharp turn, and charged the dragons, Thomas signaled to the duo to wait a moment. As the beast finally closed in, the two split off in opposite directions, before Midir called down a Rock Slide, with Kalameet bolstering the effort with his Earth Power. The duo attempted to slow the beast down.

Freke finally latched onto Shalin with Telekinesis, without pulling on her.

"Now, let go! We got you!", Thomas called out to Shalin.

If she were to let go, she'd find that the Alakazam was prepared to decelerate her flight, and land her safely.

When the Toxic Chain infestation made it to Rusturf Tunnel, Thomas was compelled to investigate.

What he saw shocked him. Trainers and Pokemon in trance-like states, worshipping statues of three Pokemon he had never seen before. Thomas took a picture of the three statues, before the attacks began.

"Ripper, smash those statues!", Thomas ordered.

The hulking Scizor smashed at the statues, pulverizing them with a volley of Bullet Punches.

The Audino waved to Thea, and her trio of Pokemon.

"This little bundle of joy is Pulse. He's a total sweetheart.", he told the teenager.

Thomas then let the Audino down, so he could greet Thea. The Audino offered his feeler out to the girl, hoping to feel her heartbeat. He'd hen offer the teen a hug. If she were to accept, she'd feel how soft his fur was. Comparable to that of a Wigglytuff.

Speaking of Wigglytuff, the Audino approached her after he was done with the trainer. The Audino offered the Wigglytuff a hug, hoping that giving her some attention helped matters.

Even if the Wigglytuff didn't reciprocate, surely the Minccino would. If the Mincinno accepted his affection, he'd pick her up, and give her a hug.

"And as you can see, extremely affectionate."

Seven years? And he didn't seem to know that this was a Galarian Farfetch'd? Even if he couldn't quite tell himself, surely someone around him should've pointed that out long ago.

"My name is Thomas. Nice to meet you Knight, Fitzwilliam, and Chani.", Thomas introduced himself to the trio.

Thomas then handed the boy a business card. In contrast to the battle hardened man in front of him, the business card was cheerful, with bright colors. "I run a Ranch in Verdanturf, Duvet Ranch. If your Pokemon ever need specialized training, medical care, or you just want to spend time around the Pokemon there, feel free to visit.", he told the boy.

The battle seemed to have been going in their favor. Despite the overwhelming odds they faced, their teamwork prevented the Paradox Pokemon from swarming the drill.

That was when a small rift into the Distortion World opened up. As Thomas peered into the rift, he could feel an overwhelming sense of dread wash over him. He had seen this before. Despite that, the sense of dread was one he couldn't quite get used to.

So the Toxic Chain could even infect Steel. To say that was an alarming revelation was an understatement. The type that should've been immune to the Chain, just as susceptible to infestation as any other. The fleshy, corrupting bonds infested the hammers of the Tinkaton.

Mordred, charging the hammer-wielders, began to hack at them with his Bitter Blades. Thanks to his superior mobility, and ability to vanish into the Phantom Force when in a pinch, he was able to outmaneuver, and take out the Tinkaton handily. With his experience from that day in the swamp, Mordred knew to aim to sever the Chains.

Thomas and Bunni came into the town on a house call. Instead, they stumble into Lavaridge Town, just as an outbreak of Toxic Chains claim a part of the town. While the Pokemon are hostile, the civilians seemed to have just been rendered ill.

Thankfully, Bunni is well equipped for the job, being a natural born Healer. Using her Heal Pulses, the Audino begins to provide relief to the ailing civilians. When they're taken care of, they're subject to further medical treatment, despite the Toxic Chains dissipating from them.

Like , Thomas finds a set of particular, two-toed footprints, in a different location. Unlike the incident with the Venusaur, Thomas found himself in a much more comfortable position to create a cast of the footprints. The Kalosian took a picture of the footprints, should the cast be ruined.

Thomas picked up on the way Navy spoke of Matias. "Something happen between you two?", Thomas inquired. Clearly, Thomas was out of the loop for a lot of the more dickish things that Matias was up to.

The Joltik did what she could to help the newly freed hostages weather the earthquake. Truth be told, the Greninja, with his Substitutes, did most of the work.

After the earthquake subsided, that mysterious cry resonated from below. Was it responsible for the earthquake? Or was it Ting-Lu, or even Regirock?

"On it.", Thomas responded, giving a nod to his Zoroark.

Kuma Lisa's Illusions would prove vital in moving the hostages back to the nearest League encampment undetected.

"You know, I don't know what capacity I'd do it in, but I'm thinkin' I'm back!", Thomas answered Navy.

Though his work with gave him a taste of his old life, as an Interpol Agent, the military was also a good fit for him.

Thomas' expression is one of intense focus. The Kalosian takes an optimal stance on the back of the Basculegion, leaning in as he waits for the signal.

When given the greenlight, Thomas and Ermac set off. With an Aqua Jet, the Basculegion raced through the course. Built for attrition, rather than speed had its advantages. And though the course was wide, Thomas felt that the Basculegion would be easier to handle when things likely got tight.

As the dive came up, Thomas took a deep breath, before holding it as they became submerged.

As Thomas and Desiree fended off the hordes of Paradox Pokemon atop their mounts, a small rift opened up between them. Gazing into the rift filled Thomas with a feeling of dread. Thomas attempted to meet Desiree on the other side, only to find he couldn't reach her.

"Desiree!", Thomas called out. He desperately looked for a way to get to her. The dread he felt only piled on, especially as Paradox Pokemon began to swarm the caves they were in, forcing them into a retreat.

The survivors of the League team followed Thomas, and his Pokemon, down the corridor. No doubt that others followed Desiree's lead.

Thomas was shocked beyond words. He was separated from Desiree. He had no idea what was going to happen to her, whether she made it out of the cave, got trapped in the Distortion World, or overwhelmed by Paradox Pokemon.

No, he wouldn't lose her. He'd find her, and bring her home safely, no matter what it took.

Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling of terror overtook Thomas. Voices chastising him for abandoning Desiree. Every time he looked around, all he could see were variations of the ugly fates that potentially befell Desiree. Paradox Pokemon overwhelming her, and tearing her apart. Desiree being trapped in the Distortion World, with no return guaranteed.

Why didn't he try harder? Why didn't he find a way to reunite with her?

Thomas watched as the Ranger Captain mounted the Entei-like beast. As the creature violently bucked, and kicked at the confines of its Rock Slide prison, Thomas prepared. Sending out Freke and Mordred, the Alakazam immediately Teleported, landing on the back of the Roaring Moon. Meanwhile, Mordred disappeared into the Phantom Force, waiting for his chance to attack the beast.

Before the creature's bucking finally kicked through the Rock Slide wall, Thomas heard the other cry.

As the creature bucked through, Kalameet and Midir got ready to pursue the beast, and ready to catch Shalin, if she needed it.

"Fallout shelters, eh? Suppose I had something similar cooking with my underground tunnel network. I can easily house people in the Biomes. Though the Tera Tunnels have threatened to encroach on the Biomes, and with how they've played a part in other disasters, I have to wonder if Tera Crystals will play a part in Ruination. Not to mention potentially compromising our underground measures.", Thomas remarked.

The duo managed to take out the Rocket camp on their own. As the hostages were set freed, and escorted to safety, Thomas couldn't help but smile.

"Legendary Pokemon, eh? That tracks. I tried to ask Matias about what was going on earlier, he gave me jack shit.", Thomas told Michael.

Did know about this as well? Or was he genuinely out of the loop.

"After the shit they pulled after we dealt with Kyurem, I wouldn't be surprised if they start shit now. And just like the last time, they probably got those ANVIL assholes waiting in the wings."

Suddenly, an earthquake rocked the area violently. The Zoroark moved in to Protect her master, as well as Navy.

"You're right, Doug.", Thomas replied to his first apprentice, a frown upon his features. "Being an example won't be enough. No, what we need is cohesion. All of the infighting, and lack of direction is what ultimately tears us apart. What allows Rocket to get as far as they do. We need to truly come together, for the sake of the Region. For our future.", Thomas concluded.

"Yeah, let's see how far this Raboot hole goes.", Thomas replied to the Jinxed.
