"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.

Paradox Pruning

"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.

Expedient Evacuation

The Joltik and Greninja duo made short work of the guards they came across. Thanks to her tiny size, the Joltik had no problems sneaking through small spaces, and taking out the humans with well-placed Electroweb shots.

"I'm proud of them both.", Thomas remarked.

Upon hearing his remarks about ruination, Thomas nodded in agreement. "Whatever happens, we need to start drawing up plans for evacuation, and mitigating casualties. I'll try to get Noah on board for some talks about Verdanturf.", Thomas remarks.

Hopefully was willing to discuss such plans. Given his relationship with , surely he could talk with the Champion about safeguards. Problem was, they'd likely need to adapt to whatever monkey wrenches were thrown into the mix.

A cry that was all too familiar resounded from below. "You know anything about the source of the cries?", inquired Thomas. "I've been hearing it all day. There's another one that's been going less frequently."

SPIDOPS SWARM (PP)
POSTED ON Mar 19, 2024 3:46:12 GMT

'Thomas' carefully navigated through the traps laid out by the Spidops. Unfortunately, the trainer tripped one of the traps, ankle caught in a snare. As a Spidops approached him to finish him off, the Illusion dispelled, revealing a Zoroark. Kuma Lisa sprayed the Spidops with a Flamethrower, sending the insect fleeing.

As the insect fled, the real Thomas tossed a Pokeball towards it.

As Thomas walked along Slateport's Outskirts, he'd spot a boy sitting on a rock. Accompanying the boy was a Farfetch'd. As Thomas got closer, he'd take notice to the expression of the Farfetch'd, and the way it was using the Leek.

When he heard the boy's remark about how he's not like 'other' Farfetch'd, he knew he had to talk to the boy.

"Couldn't help but overhear you talk to your Farfetch'd.", the scarred man called out to the teen. "How long have you had 'em for?", Thomas inquired.

Though the Eevee enjoyed the attention from the boy, he hopped off the boy's lap without any fuss. After taking in his one last stroke, the Eevee rushed over to Pulse. The Audino looked a bit disappointed that his cuddle session with the Zoroark had to end, but he got up, picking up Gene in his arms. The Audino rushed over to the picnic area, with Gene snuggling into his fluff.

The Audino let Gene down near a bowl of food. Pulse went over to grab a treat himself, sitting down to eat. Bunni quickly joined him, snuggling up to the fluffy Audino as she ate.

After Absalom made his sandwich, Thomas approached him. "Thanks for playing with Pulse and Gene.", he told the youngster.

So she couldn't handle riding fast Pokemon in general? Thomas found it interesting, if concerning.

"I'd be happy to set aside a weekend for you. Just let me know in advance when a good weekend will be, and I'll gladly make room for you.", Thomas offered the Ranger with a gentle smile.

Thomas spotted the teenager on the beach. As he heard the quiet sobs, Thomas frowned.

"Eris, what's the matter?", Thomas asked the former Rocket gently.

PP2: ARIADOS
POSTED ON Mar 16, 2024 23:50:42 GMT
Thomas Benoit Avatar


As Thomas approached Cycling Road, the Kalosian began to fall ill. His Zoroark placed a claw on his shoulder reassuringly. Before an enterprising Ariados could ensnare them in its Toxic Threads, the Zoroark sprayed down the spider with a Flamethrower. The threads quickly burned away, before they could reach either of them. As the Ariados fell unconscious, its Toxic Chain disintegrated right before their very eyes.

"So much for samples.", remarked Thomas, braving the sickness he felt.

When the Earthquake subsided, the horde of Paradox Pokemon continued their charge towards the drill. The two sets of rider and mount Pokemon fended them off. While Midir charged them head on, Artanis used Dazzling Gleam fire to suppress them. While Iron Crown fired off Tachyon Cutters at the opposing Paradox Pokemon, Mordred cut down those who got close to them.

Suddenly, Thomas heard a familiar cry from down below. It was the other, less frequent cry he'd been hearing throughout the day. Though he had questions about what the source of the cries were, and why they were so loud, fending off the Paradox Pokemon came first.

"Kalameet, draw their fire!", Thomas told the Hydreigon.

Kalameet proceeded to fly around, bombarding the last known position of the assailant with Dragon Pulse fire.

As the Hidden Power sailed towards the Dragon, with the three-headed beast narrowly dodging the attack, the Lucario, upon spotting the Hidden Power being lobbed, closed in on the position with a burst of Extreme Speed.

Again, Thomas heard the mysterious cry. Whatever was behind it, was clearly chatty.

PP2: PHEROMONES
POSTED ON Mar 16, 2024 15:07:37 GMT
Thomas Benoit Avatar


An Iron Crown stepped up to greet the Pheromosa. The automaton, thanks to being genderless, found themselves spared from the pheromones that caused infatuation.

The Pheromosa attempted to zig-zag around the Cobalion-like Pokemon, to throw it off. Unfortunately for the Ultra Beast, the Paradox Sword's Tachyon Cutter homed in on them. No matter how convoluted their movements became, there was no evading the Tachyon Cutter, as the pair of particle blades cut the seductive bug down.

Another Pheromosa attempted to take out the Iron Crown with a High Jump Kick. Though the attack landed, it still wasn't enough to bring down the automaton, who retaliated with a Metal Burst, taking out another Pheromosa.

As the battle raged on, Thomas discovered a Bronze Feather on the ground. Quickly picking it up, he made a mental note to get it examined later.

Second place? Not bad for the qualifier, especially for a newcomer to the scene.

After waving to the crowd, Thomas wasted no time getting on the back of Ermac. The former member of the Elite Four scanned his surroundings, and the other attendees.

Thomas recognized most of the competitors, having worked with them in some capacity. Of interest were some of the selections the competitors had. Cian's surprisingly formidable Froakie, for example, was one he questioned. Though a great battler, he wondered how Cian planned to ride such a small Pokemon.

"Let's give the crowd a show they'll never forget!", Thomas told the others.
