As pollen spread over Rustboro, Thomas immediately pulled a mask up from his collar, pulling it over his nose and mouth, to filter out the pollen coating the city. It was enough to make it look like the Unovans skimped out on the butter they used in their cooking.

Spotting the source of the coating of spores, Thomas tossed a Pokeball towards the Dustox, hoping to put a stop to their madness.

Feat of Strength [POKEJOB]

Kashiwagi began his work by aiding 's Snorlax in breaking through the hardened earth. As if practicing his use of Close Combat, the Urshifu aided the Snorlax in digging out the pit, all while getting in some practice.

Upon completion of that task, the Urshifu joined 's Greninja in his efforts to destroy the stones. The Dark Urshifu demolished the obstructive stones with precisely placed Wicked Blows. Each stone was reduced to rubble with singular strikes.

A massive stone caught the attention of the Urshifu. After a moment of consideration, the Urshifu began to strike through the stone, as if burrowing through it. His plan was to create a playhouse that Pokemon could crawl through.

Bitter Blades hacked away at the Slither Wing. Its attempts to take out the haunted armor through Close Combat were useless. The Iron Crown raced over to their master's side.

Upon seeing Desiree get onto her Tropius, Thomas whistled for his Hydreigon. The Hydreigon flew back, allowing Thomas to hop onto his back once more. The duo raced back into battle, finishing off an Iron Treads with an explosive Earth Power burst from below, joining the others in fending off the horde.

"You okay?", Thomas asked Shalin.

When he heard that she was gonna try to ride the beast, he was shocked. Sure, she was known to be a risk taker, but this was insane.

"Just be careful!", Thomas called out to the Ranger Captain.

Thomas brought out his Roaring Moon, Midir, to support their efforts. The ancient Salamence called down a Rock Slide, in an attempt to slow the beast down, thus giving Shalin an opening to attempt to mount it. Meanwhile, Kalameet continued to pepper the Entei-like beast with Dragon Pulses, given how effective they seemed to be.

Once again, the cry from before resonated from below.

Thomas brought out his Joltik, Byte, for the job. The tiny Pokemon not only had her size to take advantage of, but the ability to stun their opposition with Electrowebs.

"Stick close to me, and we should be good.", Thomas told the former Councilwoman.

Before they set out, however, Thomas spotted a distinct set of tracks on the ground. He quickly recognized them as belonging to Ting Lu, or as he called them, 'The Bowl.'

"Has Lars told you about Ting Lu?", inquired Thomas. "About what transpired after your rescue from Rocket?"

Thomas quickly snapped a picture of the tracks, before making his way towards the right side of the camp. Earlier, his Zoroark identified a vulnerability in the right side of the perimeter, one they could use to enter without being detected.

POISON PATROL: WEEZING
POSTED ON Mar 22, 2024 6:41:33 GMT
Thomas Benoit Avatar


Thomas realized the danger of the group of Koffing and Weezing exploding. Not only would the Warehouses be devastated, but the destruction would likely pour into the City.

As the Koffing and Weezing threatened to Self-Destruct, his Gengar floated up front.

"Hypnotize them.", Thomas ordered.

The Gengar began to transmit hypnotic waves towards the Weezing, attempting to pacify them, before they could explode.

As the battle raged on, Thomas, accompanied by a Vivillon, investigated the area around the battle.

As pollen and dust shot out towards them, the ocean-patterned butterfly flapped his wings, in order to kick up a gust that blasted the pollen away from them.

"Thank you.", he told the bug.

Looking down, he'd quickly take notice of a particular set of footprints. They looked like they belonged to a canine, and were rather small. Interestingly enough, the source of the footprints seemed to indicate that a bipedal Pokemon left them.

Thomas took a picture of the footprints. As much as he wanted to create a plaster cast of the footprints, he felt he had no time to do so, as the battle might pour over to his position, and destroy his work.

PP2: GRAFAIAI
POSTED ON Mar 21, 2024 6:13:05 GMT

Thomas looked around to find the many Pokemon stuck to trees. And the Grafaiai responsible for the attack.

His priority was dispelling the sticky substance binding the poor Pokemon to the trees.

"Hotsuma, Hydro Pump!", Thomas ordered.

The Greninja began to spray a torrent of water at the affected areas. Thomas could only hope that the water allowed the stuck Pokemon to get free, and get out of dodge.

Missing Path

As Thomas was making his way back into town, a teenager had flagged him down. The scarred man turned to face her. He noticed she was dressed in baggy clothes, while the Wigglytuff and Minccino were both dressed in gi's. Didn't look like the Primeape was going for it.

"Got your PokeNav?", Thomas asked the girl. Whether she had it, or he had to use his, he'd show her directions on how to get their through the town map, talking her through the route as he did.

"Gotta warn you, Gym's closed today.", he informed her. "Got any friends or family to stay with in the area, or any sights to see?", he'd ask her.

He didn't know where she came from, but making the trek twice would've been a pain in the ass.

The soft cry of an Audino greeted Thomas. The Kalosian turned to find Pulse, who ran up to Thomas, giving his master a hug. The girl would quickly notice this Audino in particular had a longer, fluffier coat of fur than the norm. "Hey, little buddy!", Thomas greeted Pulse, picking him up and giving him a hug, much to the fluffball's delight. "Sorry to keep you all waiting, the delivery took a bit longer than I thought.", he told the Audino.

As Thomas descended, he watched as the Salamence was sent flying in a brutal display of Outrage. The Earth Power wall was erected near where Shalin and her Type: Null had fallen, thus providing them with cover.

From there, Kalameet laid down Dragon Pulse fire onto the Entei-like beast. Kalameet hoped to distract the beast, and allow Shalin the opportunity she needed to remount, and get back in the fight.

Thanks to his focus on ranged combat, and mobility in the air, harassing and dodging the Gouging Fire was something the duo were ready to do.

A familiar cry resonated from below. It was the less frequent cry he heard throughout the day. Perhaps he'd ask Shalin about it later.

When Thomas got the call that Shalin was dealing with a previously undiscovered Paradox Pokemon, the Kalosian raced over. On the back of his Hydreigon, above the Giant Chasm, Thomas scanned the grounds below, for any signs of the Ranger, and the opposing Pokemon.

Thankfully, the scuffle wasn't very hard to miss, especially with how the large beast stood out.

"This is Arbok Nine, closing in on your position!", Thomas called into the radio.

Kalameet immediately dived towards the ongoing battle, between the Ranger, and the Entei-like beast she was fending off. A wall summoned with Earth Power emerged between the two parties, allowing his ally to take cover.

"I agree. If I ever become an Avatar again, Yveltal or otherwise, I promise I'll be more forthcoming and cooperative with the League. Best guys like us can do is be an example to the rest. Give people a reason to have faith in the League.", Thomas commented.

Thankfully, Doug helped pull Thomas back from the influence. The slap on the back snapped the Kalosian back to reality. Thomas followed the Avatar's lead, making his way deeper into the chasm.

With a few deep breaths, Thomas finally got a grip on himself.

"Thanks, Doug. The Bowl is around here somewhere!", remarked Thomas.

Upon looking around, Thomas noticed the slash-like markings lining the walls of the cavern. "What do you think left those?", Thomas inquired idly.

Matias' ploy paid off. Cobalt barely cleared the blast radius of the Z-Move. Meanwhile, Kalameet just barely got himself and Thomas into cover, as the fires ravage the area, taking the Drk Triad assassins down in the process.

In the aftermath of the Z-Move, Cobalt pinged the area again. The only auras the jackal could detect were those of Thomas, Matias, their Pokemon, and the wildlife around them. Cobalt moved in, finding the corpse of a Drk Triad assassin.

After he relayed his findings to Thomas, the Kalosian shook his head. "So much for answers.", Thomas remarked.

"Desiree!", Thomas cried out, upon seeing the Roaring Moon charge her.

Before he could come to her defense, a Slither Wing Lunged at Thomas, knocking him down. The ancient bug then proceeded to pin Thomas down, attempting to bite down on him, and Leech his Life from him. Thomas began to desperately hold the Slither Wing's head back.

The Iron Crown, upon seeing his master in trouble, turned its sights towards the Slither Wing. Firing off a pair of Tachyon Cutters, the particle blades slices into the Slither Wing, causing it to cry out in pain. This gave Thomas the chance to slip away from the ancient insect, bringing out his Ceruledge.

"Thank you.", Thomas told the Iron Crown, as he got back to his feet. As Desiree reunited with him, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. Despite the cuts on her arms, from the Roaring Moon that grabbed her, the fact that she escaped was important.

"Let's show the universe what we're made of!", he told Desiree, affirming their desire to fight for a better tomorrow.

Suddenly, a mysterious cry resonated from below. It was a cry he never heard before in his life.
