Trying not to get too distracted by the delightful aroma coming from the box, Ceri listens to Priam’s words, nodding along as he explains why their ever so cozy lab has been outfitted with the weirdest fireplace in the history of fireplaces.
[break][break]
”Damn, a whole Metagross?! You’d think a few Beldum would be easier to melt down. Though I guess that’s not the point.” Of course it’s not, she knows as much, and watching the flames burning behind the small window in the furnace, she claps her hands together once more – this time almost as if she were raising a prayer for the Metagross’ soul. ”Hope your body gives us something useful, Mr. Metagross.”
[break][break]
It won’t, but maybe the next one will, no?
[break][break]
”At least it’s warm, though.” Brushing away all thoughts of the Metagross within seconds, Ceri reaches for one of the lattes, taking a temptative sip.
[break][break]
”Oh, I love pumpkin spice! Have you thrown anything in there, by the way?”
[break][break]

”Nice to meet you, Matias! Do you do this sort of thing often?”
[break][break]
‘This sort of thing’ as in pokémon wrestling.
[break][break]
And speaking of which…
[break][break]
While Ceri is all too preoccupied with socializing, her Rillaboom screams in pain when being hit by the FIRE BLAST, the sound soon turning into a powerful and loud BOOMBURST that could make anyone’s ears bleed. In response, Ceri puffs her cheeks about it, looking as if she has a full cheek pouch.
[break][break]
”Duir, do you need to be so loud?”
[break][break]
Too bad the Rillaboom is too preoccupied with punching the Snorlax.

It wasn’t a matter of magic, but a matter of Ceri making a stop before heading over to meet up with him, because if Rocket was going to make her stay out late wandering through the cold hallways of the submarine, she sure as hell was bringing some coffee.
[break][break]
Cold hallways of the submarine, and yet there she was… in an all too revealing crop top.
[break][break]
”Hey, Elliott! Hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”
[break][break]
A bright smile, oh so sweet, while in her hands she held two cups of coffee.
[break][break]
”Want some coffee? I figured we could use some. It’s pumpkin spice.”
[break][break]
Since apparently the Rocket cafeteria was fully stocked with the stuff. Who knew Team Rocket liked seasonal drinks that much?

There’s a lot about all this that might make it seem as more than just a mere prank, starting by how carefully the stacks are arranged and flattened. It’s too perfect, but then again, something like that could easily be done with the help of the right pokémon, even if it would take time. But, why in the world would anyone bother with that?
[break][break]
If there’s thoughts of aliens, they’re discarded as quickly as they come. Ceri’s life has always been ordinary, and today is not the day that will suddenly change… right?
[break][break]
”Does that line usually work for you?”
[break][break]
Well aware that he’s probably looking at her, she turns to meet his gaze, a slight smile tugging at her lips playfully.
[break][break]
”Though I guess it isn’t the lines that do the work.”
[break][break]
One last good look at him and she returns her attention to taking pictures of the crop circle, snapping a few more before stepping closer to Niko and offering his phone back. This time, she smirks.
[break][break]
”We should take some from above, I don’t think I could do those alone.”

He’s right, it is exciting, and even if his words may not have been meant to be particularly reassuring, they do reassure her indeed. She even smiles, and her own gaze drifts towards the drooling Slowking.
[break][break]
”I think it should be fine, pokémon eat things that have strange effects on them all the time… Although some are more resistant to toxins than others.” Like Snorlax, for example. A Snorlax could eat a whole Muk and the pokémon that’s usually considered to be a living biohazard would do nothing to it.
[break][break]
Now being much calmer, Ceri checks her notes; scribbles regarding Slowking anatomy being side-by-side with potential instructions to create the serum. It should almost be done.
[break][break]
Gavin’s question distracts her, however, for a pang of nostalgia comes at the mention of her hometown. This time, she looks at him, azure eyes meeting amber ones.
[break][break]
”Oh… Yes! I grew up there, moved here when I was a teen.” She smiles, thoughts of the snowy streets of Circhester filling her mind. ”I’m surprised you knew it’s from Circhester specifically, most people can’t tell beyond it being Galarian.”
[break][break]
Which means he's probably Galarian as well.
[break][break]
The assumption comes to mind, but she doesn't voice it.

Truth be told, Ceri isn’t really a trainer, nor does she care for pokémon battles. She’s too busy with her own life for all of that; with school, with her research, with her jobs, with the things that are important. So much so that she doesn’t even know she’s actually talking to a member of the Elite Four…
[break][break]
HNN? Who pays attention to things like those? Not her!
[break][break]
”Great! I’m Ceri, by the way, and this is Duir.”
[break][break]
On cue with her words, her pokémon is released onto the ring, and while Ceri herself is small and petite and harmless-looking, the Rillaboom stands at almost seven feet. As big as the Snorlax or perhaps even bigger, and it sure doesn’t look friendly.
[break][break]
And yet, Ceri looks at it like it's the cutest thing in the world, clapping her hands together with a smile.
[break][break]
”Good luck, Duir. Have fun!”
[break][break]
And just like that, a DRUM BEATING comes for the Snorlax, starting the fight.

His challenger is probably not what Matias expects, because when doing an open challenge in pokémon wrestling, who ever expects a petite young woman to step forward from amongst the crowd? Wearing sneakers as she is, she stands at no more than 5’5”, and looking up at him with keen azure eyes, she waves and gives him a bright smile.
[break][break]
”Hi, hi! Would you mind if we join in?”
[break][break]
’We’ as in her and her pokémon.
[break][break]
Pokémon which still remains within a Friend Ball made with a Green Apricorn long ago.
[break][break]
This is all for the sake of said pokémon, honestly, and maybe also a little for the sake of money too.
[break][break]
...Or maybe a lot.

How the hell had things turned out like this?
[break][break]
Ceri has always been a confident person, and when it comes to Toxicology, that confidence may be somewhat justified by the way she has always excelled academically. Her GPA is to be envied, and yet, she knows well enough that she has a lot left to learn, and being no more than a lab assistant, never in a million years would she have imagined she’d be working on an experiment alone with no less than one of Team Rocket’s underbosses.
[break][break]
She has never been particularly anxious, but it’s a nerve-wracking situation even for her.
[break][break]
It could be a great opportunity, or it could mean disaster.
[break][break]
It all depends on her.
[break][break]
”Ah… It’s difficult to say, since we’re basically trying to replicate a natural mutation, no?” While she speaks, she prepares the serum in question, it’s main component being a concentration of Galarica – sap, leaf extract, anything that would be found in a twig. ”Kantonian Slowpoke and Slowking haven’t gone through generations of eating mainly of Galarica twigs, so while the serum should cause a chemical reaction with the Shellder’s saliva in theory... in practice we just don’t know if it will be enough. It’s like trying to find the balance between poisoning them enough to cause the reaction, but not enough for it to be lethal.”
[break][break]
Once this is said, she pauses, and while it’s faint, rosy hues colour her cheeks, for she hopes she’s not sounding too preachy or too unsure of her own hypothesis – even if she could excitedly rant for hours about such things.
[break][break]
”Sorry if I talk too much, it’s a bad habit.” With a chuckle and a quiet sigh, she returns her attention to the serum, never daring to look at the underboss.

’Something that thinks all of this is funny.’
[break][break]
Kano has a point, but with their surroundings obscured by sudden nightfall, it’s difficult to see if there’s anything watching them. Are they being followed? What’s causing all this? A few possible pokémon come to mind, the most obvious choices being her first pick, but speculation won’t do much good, and the strange sound that suddenly hits her eardrums makes it clear that there’s no time for such things.
[break][break]
”What is that? Some sort of singing?”
[break][break]
There are some pokémon out there that have very dangerous singing moves. If only she had brought noise-cancelling headphones with her, huh? Although, let’s be honest, it’s not like Ceri can afford fancy noise-cancelling headphones that actually do their job properly.
[break][break]
What she can afford, however, is pokémon.
[break][break]
”Do we follow the existing path or form our own? I could have my Crobat fly up to try to find a way out.”

”It’s probably fake this time too. Like that saying doctors have… ’When you hear hooves, think Ponyta, not Glastrier.’ Usually the answer is what’s most common and expected rather than what’s more rare and unlikely. I bet it’s a prank.”
[break][break]
Ceri shrugs just so slightly, her own words being mostly her musings spoken out loud rather than her trying to discuss this. After all, she doubts NIKO MANNER would have much of use to contribute when talking about such matters.
[break][break]
And yet, despite thinking this, she still turns to look at him… barely in time to catch the phone when he throws it.
[break][break]
”You sure you should do that? I wonder what awful things I’ll find if I scroll through your pics.”
[break][break]
A smirk, and wink, and than she turns back towards the crop circle or whatever it is, beginning to take pictures.

In our case.
[break][break]
A bold assumption, but she doesn’t correct him, azure eyes lingering on his for a moment before the search for answers is resumed. As if allowing him to think of her as an innocent little lamb. Prey.
[break][break]
Although, by the looks of the sign they soon find, they may actually be the ones being hunted.
[break][break]
It’s how old horror movies about aliens would put this, right?
[break][break]
”Wah… I always wondered what one of these would look like in real life.”
[break][break]
She chuckles too, leaning in to get a closer look. An action that could lead to a precarious situation, considering how short her dress is, but if Ceri realizes this, she completely ignores it.
[break][break]
”Is it some sort of symbol? Hmm...”
[break][break]
These are usually circles, aren’t they? But, what could have created it? Is it a prank? Could it have to do with all those Unown that have been appearing recently? Is it all just some strange coincidence?
[break][break]
Too many questions, not enough data for a proper hypothesis.

”Maybe!”
[break][break]
In truth, Ceri doesn’t have the optimism nor the energy to match Priam’s, but the way she grins with such brightness and cheer could have probably fooled anyone.
[break][break]
”I’ve never had unfezant on pizza, is it good?” Tilting her head ever so slightly, Ceri looks at the boxes, wondering why is it that rich people always have to put the weirdest ingredients in things and make them bougie. What happened to plain ol’ moomoo cheese?
[break][break]
”By the way, is that thing supposed to be on all the time?”
[break][break]
She means the crackling fire of the furnace nearby, the one that has been making the lab feel strangely warm as of late. It’s not an unwelcome feeling at all, but she had grown used to the cold of the submarine.

How it grew here.
[break][break]
It seems as if everyone has the same question, doesn’t it? Which really should come as no surprise, since isn’t it what any sane person would ask themselves when a huge tree suddenly grows out of nowhere? How and why.
[break][break]
”I bet there’s people who have a million and one theories.” She chuckles, but looking at her new companion, her head tilts slightly. ”What’s yours?”
[break][break]
It’s her own curiosity that leads her to ask, and for a moment, she watches as the other woman befriends a Ribombee… until she’s distracted by the sight of a nearby Exeggutor launching an EGG BOMB towards them.
[break][break]
”Oh! Watch out.”
[break][break]
Ceri is quick to act, reaching for a Great Ball while the exploding egg is still in midair. From it, a Salazzle appears, managing to somehow slap the egg with the blunt force of a FIRE LASH from its tail and send it right back towards their attacker – now on fire as well.
[break][break]
Bye bye, Exeggutor.
[break][break]
With a calm smile, Ceri throws an empty ball. Mostly so it stops bothering her, honestly.

She knows that stupidly tall as he may be, he can’t see over the corn stalks. Ceri isn’t an idiot, after all, even if her attitude may sometimes make her seem ditzy and cute.
[break][break]
”Mmm… Does it? I’d argue that it has its advantages.”
[break][break]
The smile she gives him is all too sweet, saccharine, but when these words are said, there’s a pop of her tongue, her gaze finding his before turning away as if nothing.
[break][break]
Back to searching.
[break][break]
Only a few steps are taken until she stops again, this time looking down.
[break][break]
Down towards a section of stalks that has been perfectly flattened down to the ground, not as if someone stepped on them, but as if machinery was used… or something else, maybe?
[break][break]
