The flare of the jolteon’s discharge lights up the space—panicked and strengthened by the terrain underfoot. A volley of dragon darts fire off from the dragapult just before the electricity reaches her. Before she can swerve out of the way, it crackles up over her limbs. Stunning her as she drops to the ground in an unconscious heap.[break][break]
Somewhere, outside of their vision tunneling on , they can hear shouting to her. Attempting to prevent something that has long been set in motion. A button that Fern has continued to press finally yields detonation.[break][break]
The eruption of the starry shield flares up, and Tapu Koko’s attack is buffered and rendered useless, much to their guardian’s fury. It twists in the air—bouncing as their shield snaps up in what looks like an impassioned war dance. Its sights turn on the wydeer, and an electro ball hurtles outward at it in retaliation before it turns furious eyes on the head ranger.[break][break]
But Fern is only watching as Annalise closes the distance. They barely notice Mew’s vulpine jaws detaching from their arm.[break][break]
They barely register the sensation of their hair being pulled, muted as their pain is. But Fern knows that it is being yanked as hard as Annalise can manage, because their head is forced backward with the motion. The suddenness of the jerking movement causes them to bite the inside of their mouth hard enough to taste the copper tang of blood as it coats their tongue. Wild eyes roll down toward hers and their hand reaches up to close around her wrist.[break][break]
Laughter spills like water from their lips, pinkish froth bubbling up between their teeth.[break][break]
“Try what again? I didn’t touch him.” They shrug, the lie is an obvious one—not meant to be anything other than obvious goading. Briefly, their eyes shift away from her, up to where Mew has encased itself in a bubble of safety. “Is Mew capable of that violence, though? Or will you bend it to your will? Tsk tsk, the manipulation of pokemon for your gain.”[break][break]
Their gaze goes cool as it returns to her. Similar shades, but hers burn. An ocean set ablaze with intent. “All you need add is for the glory of Rocket and you’ll fit right in.”[break][break]
“Pick one! pick![break][break]
Blood continues to congeal in their mouth as she howls her ultimatum. Their chin tips back just a little bit more—defiant, as they suck it back and spit it in her face.[break][break]
On her demands.[break][break]
Neither, is a far more appealing choice, after all.

Satisfaction came as the Ursaluna grumbled in the wake of her dragon breath. Ceci watched him stagger back, teeth still bared in what looked alike a spectral grin of accomplishment. Her posture remained tense and vigilant, but there was no matching the sudden onslaught as Higumei conjured whatever strength remained in his bulkier body. The dragapult didn’t shy away from the forward push, and a rumbling growl crept up from her throat. But it quickly morphed into a shriek of pain as she crumpled under the force of a bloodmoon.[break][break]
Blasted backward, Cecilia slammed into a nearby tree. Unable to maintain transparency, she connected with solid force and dropped—unconscious.[break][break]
Fern’s eyes darted away from their target for a fleeting moment, just long enough to see their beloved companion go down. A frustrated sound eeked out through their gritted teeth, but this wasn’t the time to falter out of compassion, even if she was one of the few exceptions to their steadily growing cruelty.[break][break]
In a beam of light, the dragapult was sucked back into her ball in a ray of light, but they didn’t have the time to send out another opponent for the massive ursaluna. Instead, they watched from the ground as faced them and refused to cave to their prodding. Boldness in truth. In the face of her defiance, they laughed again.[break][break]
“What cause does a charlatan have for truth? There is just a much power in deception, darling.” Slowly, they managed to push themself up as she spasmed from the pain they unleashed upon her. Their ankle stung—no doubt sprained from the fall. But Fern dimmed the sensation as they fixated on amplifying hers. “You only need that little bit of doubt it plants, before it spreads like a poison.” Ruining everything. Paranoia. Potent stuff, really. [break][break]
She screamed, and they opened their mouth to speak again, to taunt her more.[break][break]
And then everything went sideways.[break][break]
A confused frown flickered across their expression as her fingers flickered with…something. They weren’t sure what. But it felt wrong. “What’re you—“ Reality broke apart at seams around her. Ugly tears wrenched open to reveal the amorphous glow of timespace. And then their limbs locked, and there was a split second of panic as Fern registered the inability to move as the distortion domed over them.[break][break]
Control came in a sharp gasp of breath, inhaling as their concentration snapped and their hold on her dropped away. They stumbled backward, gawking as they took in the space they were trapped within. It was not unlike what they’d experienced in Lesser Megalopolis with as Necrozma ripped open pockets for them to inspect.[break][break]
But this felt wild, uncontainable. Unstable.[break][break]
Even as she tried to regain her bearings, Fern watched her warily. The tables turning as their confidence in controlling the situation began to wane in favor of apprehension. What she could do was perhaps more unpredictable than themself. “Is this what you meant, then?” Their voice was guarded, but a glimmer of curiosity rose up. They could pocket this information. Insatiable as they were, Fern could possibly use this later.[break][break]
There was always an opportunity to use tools when present with them.[break][break]
The burst of the distortion separated Tapu Koko from its adversary. It made to chase the other, but it flitted away and disappeared. Electricity bristled off of it as it descended to pass through—only for its temper to flare when it was unable to traverse the barrier to return to Fern.[break][break]
With patron and supplicant separated, its still-charged prongs battered at the exterior. Demanding to be let in.

In the background, Cecilia continued to press back against the larger ursaluna–undeterred by its size and strength. The flat part of her forehead pushed against Higumei’s, maw opening in a hiss in response to the snarl before a gaseous cloud of DRAGON BREATH volleyed up from her throat and plumed out from between her sharp teeth.[break][break]
Fern watched, though, as she crumpled before them. Stubbornly willful in the face of their efforts. They stepped backward a few paces and simply…observed. The slow crack of a smile spreading across their face as she refused to cave. It would be no fun if she caved so easily. It was only a little shock, after all. She clutched her weapon like a lifeline.[break][break]
Her taunts fell uselessly, hwoever. Fern only cared about the panic that they could cause in the moment more than any sort of haunting that might linger for days afterward. They would not be there to enjoy such a thing, after all. “Brave girl,” they replied as their head tilted, “do continue trying to convince yours–” The seamitar swept under their feet and sent them tumbling backward.[break][break]
The impact of colliding with the ground sent an ache through their ribs, a rush of sound hurtling up their throat. Not unlike a different, recent altercation. They really should do better at keeping an eye on their own feet, it seemed. They laughed as she continued, the sound wheezy as the point of the blade tilted toward them. To show that if they rushed her again, she was ready.[break][break]
But Fern had something else in mind.[break][break]
“Bold words,” they chimed in response. “Though perhaps you might second guess them, yet.” Their lips curled in a snarling grin as they lifted their arms. It was a show of false surrender, defenseless as their palms turned toward her–fingers splayed.[break][break]
Eyes, wide and startlingly blue as they fixed on hers evenly. They could feel the pain that hummed bright and alive in their own veins. Dense as it rolled off of from the shock they had given her. The energy buzzed and they felt connected to every molecule. As though they could pluck each one out of the air at will if they chose to.[break][break]
Then, their fingers wiggled as though in precursor to a magic trick.[break][break]
“Look, see–no hands!”[break][break]

⚡ FERN DELANEY is now able to generate electricity that induces pain in his own body and/or others' within a proximity. the pain can be dialed up or dialed down.
[break][break]

The buzzing grew louder in their mind. Intensifying, fuzzy static between their ears as the burn grew muffled and dim in their senses. All the while knowing that it elevated a few degrees throughout hers.[break][break]
It wasn’t nearly as potent as the levels they had inflicted on or . But it was still enough to send a message.[break][break]

Shocks from the celebi’s retaliatory rippled across Tapu Koko’s shield. Tendrils of light forking outward and spider crawling through the plumage atop their head. The island guardian cringed from the impact, but even then, there was something delighted in its response.[break][break]
This was not the Tapu Koko that aided , but was it, perhaps, another worthy sparring partner to match its electrical blows? The two pieces of its mask snapped together as it faced Celebi. Despite the branches and leaves that battered at it, the menacing shadow of the bird’s head emerged through the foliage. More electricity, mingling with z-energy, danced along its frame as it bolstered itself with the electric terrain below.[break][break]
And then shield broke apart, and Tapu Koko barreled straight toward the verdant sprite, as it attempted to parry with it, the points of each side of the mask aglow with sizzling energy as it slashed outward with driving force.[break][break]

Z-MOVE: PARALYSIS PARRY: when tapu koko brings its shield together, it begins to charge mass amounts of electricity so that its pincers can then be used as sharpened, high-voltage prods until it lands an attack.

Of course, when confronted with the need to report any encounter at a later date, Fern would claim this was for the glory of rocket. As they ever did, they played their part. They upheld themself so that they would believe themself far more capable of the role they held than they actually thought.[break][break]
But she had begun to realize that they were not following an order in this particular moment. That this trap was of their own making, and nothing else. A curiosity that they sought to fulfill–when pressed into a corner what did their quarry do? And how far could they push?[break][break]
“Is that so?” Something in Fern’s voice twisted into saccharine disappointment. “What a pity. Shall I up the ante, then?” Empowered by the terrain they’d infused the ground with, Fern’s speed increased again. They skipped the distance between them with flickering speed. Their eyes on the seamitar, before–arrogantly–they settled on Yuina’s once again. In that minimal space, their fingers had closed tight around her wrist.[break][break]
“Tag.” With that contact, they created a conduit for the electricity they twisted to their favor. From the soles of their feet, it rocketed up through the channel to deliver a shock to her system.[break][break]
fern can use their powers to invigorate/stim or stun others with PARALYSIS.
[break][break]
Their dragapult crashed out of the portal–the impact of her PHANTOM FORCE concentrated in a headbutt from the flat plane of her head against the ursaluna’s flank should it find purchase. A dutiful creature, though Cecilia wasn’t naturally combative, decades of companionship swayed her into Fern’s influence.[break][break]
She would always follow their lead, if she was not able to guide them back into a sense of reason.[break][break]
And reasonable they were not.[break][break]
Above them, the chase of spritely creatures continued. Almost as though it were an intricate dance as the two deities twisted through the dense forestry.[break][break]
Despite its rapidly increasing speed, viney knots and tangles still sought to ensnare Tapu Koko. A particularly stubborn tendril snagged around the thin joint of its arm and held fast, but the island guardian was far from deterred.[break][break]
Looping in the air, it twisted back toward its pursuer and unleashed the glowing fury of all of NATURE’S MADNESS. Natural energy in bright hues crackled outward from its mask pieces at Celebi before it used the sharpened end of the bird’s mask beak to slice through the foliage attempting to hold it back.

A shrill, reptilian sound vibrates in Ceci’s throat, her tail lashing behind her in fury as the burst of heated pin missiles shoot outward toward her, several embedding themselves in the gaps of her smooth scales. But she is far from done with the jolteon. Eyes aglow, the dragapult unleashes a cloud of dragon breath at the smoking biscuit.[break][break]
With luck, the paralytic agent in her breath will take hold before she dives in again.[break][break]
But Fern is not watching the ensuing conflict between pokemon. Their eyes shift to as the screaming begins, and their smile widens as it greets . [break][break]
They mull over her furious words, head tilting from side to side in consideration. But they do not relent. “Should I?” they ask her, rife with coy sarcasm. “You don’t think he can take it? Would you like to instead?”[break][break]
Fern’s hands twist together with intent to amplify the sensation, though it’s for show. They really only need their mind for this skill. “Perhaps you should be the one who falls back. This is your turf anymore.”[break][break]
But this isn’t about the territorial dispute, is it?[break][break]
This is about Fern’s desire to play with whatever they catch, like a meowth with a particularly tricky ratatta. And they’re not certain they would like Annalise to relent. That would make for a boring game, no?[break][break]
Tapu Koko watches Mew as it transforms, but as it braces for attack, it dives for Fern instead.[break][break]
The admin’s teeth grit around a muffled sound of pain as the false jolteon’s fangs tear into the flesh of his arm, through the sleeve. It’s just enough to sever their focus–freeing from the steady flow of pain as it rolls back into their own body instead. As their blood spurts up in a spray across their face, however, they make no effort to shake mew free.[break][break]
Instead, the pained sound warps into a laugh.[break][break]
Annalise charges them, and Fern laughs in the face of it. This is what they wanted, after all. For her to get just close enough for it to matter. [break][break]
The humming energy around them thickens as they find the control and turn it down. Their firing synapses slow until they feel so little, those sharp teeth are no more than the whisper of a tickle. Just enough for them to know it’s there, but not enough to give it much mind–no matter how much damage the attack does on their arm.[break][break]
Above them, Tapu Koko’s mask has come together–crackling with the mingling intensity of electricity and z-energy. The glow around their patron swells and then it hurtles downward as Fern hoists their arm out and up–an effort to pull mew!jolteon’s paws off the ground before it lets go.[break][break]
A prime target for the island guardian to aim at with the sharp prods of the beak of its mask (paralysis parry.) Maybe it will actually manage to skewer the rat through this time.
[break][break]

paralysis parry (z-move): when tapu koko brings its shield together, it begins to charge mass amounts of electricity so that its pincers can then be used as sharpened, high-voltage prods until it lands an attack.

There was always a particular rush that came with the reveal. The dawning that slipped into their opposite’s expression as it clicked that Fern was not quite so simple. That they were not so easy to make a judgement call about. It was thrilling, it stoked that feeling that they were special in their gifts. Even among the rising number of avatars, their ego swelled until their thoughts were further infused with that grand sense of self.[break][break]
They laughed again, head tilting back until the sound became a howling bark. All jackal sound. “Have I? And what is it, pray tell, that I am, hm?” They leered at her, their smile an endlessly amused thing. “Your mistake is assuming that I have a reason for anything I do.”[break][break]
The dragapult that had been drifting alongside Fern abruptly disappeared. With a lash of her tail, she sunk into the opening of another portal opened by her PHANTOM FORCE before the opening snapped closed again. Where would she reappear again? Who was to say[break][break]
Electricity crackled around them with rapidly increasing erraticism.[break][break]
“You are not listening to me, Éiníní.” Fern tsked, the sound of it sharp as their tongue clicked against the back of their teeth. “I said that I am on my side. And that is always the best place to be.”[break][break]
Even among the upper brass of Rocket, Fern had always served themself first and foremost. They did not share the same sort of devotion that many longstanding members of the organization did. It was lost on them. Joining had been in their best interest, as had climbing the rungs as quickly as possible.[break][break]
As the tree trunk exploded outward, Fern winked out of view again. Putting distance between themself and the impact before returning to inspect the damage. The shimmer of protection hung in the air around them as splintering wood fell around them and the dust began to settle.[break][break]
A hum of disappointment came with the cant of their head. Perhaps they should have stunned her with a jolt of electricity when they’d nudged her? As their eyes settled on the little green sprite that drifted down to oppose them, however, Fern realized that it likely wouldn’t have mattered if they’d rendered her unable to move. “You have a friend in high places of your own, I see.” It was not wholly dissatisfying. Perhaps now it would be a worthy clash.[break][break]
“Again, you lump me in with that ambiguous them.” Fern’s lip curled in annoyance. “Did I ask you to stand down? Did I demand it? When will you be the one who opens your eyes? I do not want you to give in like a meek creature.” Their smile returned. “But you will regret it, all the same.”[break][break]
An ELECTRIC TERRAIN flowed outward from the ground Fern stood upon. The energy they generated working to give their patron material to work with. Hands stretched out as let out a breath, eyes falling shut in a show of supplication for the creature who had robbed them of their independence, and yet had blessed them with power. All of it so uniquely theirs.[break][break]
Its own sort of warped autonomy.[break][break]
Not wishing to be outdone by Celebi, Tapu Koko zipped upward again. The guardian picked up speed as it nimbly flitted up through and around the trees with steadily increasing AGILITY.

The arrival of Ollie's jolteon earns a tilt of their head. They bat their eyes at him, and take in the warning before a bright laugh lights up the terrain as hotly as the electricity that still simmers in the air. "Am I meant to be scared of you?"[break][break]

They snap their fingers and the dragapult moves. Phantasmic and unnatural as she slithers through the air - jaws opening wide as flame licks at the back of her throat before the FIRE BLAST propels outward at his jolteon.[break][break]

The snap of a psychic cord yanking their ankles out from under them catches Fern unaware, no matter the speed they are blessed with. it was not mew that their sight had turned upward for, but the arrival of their own patron. the air whistles from their lungs as they hit the dirt. the electricity doesn't faze them - only the impact.[break][break]

"bad idea, blondie," they hiss, and their blue eyes narrow at her before their snarling mouth twists into that sharp, vulpine grin of theirs. jackal-mawed as they seek retribution for the petty slight.[break][break]

FERN DELANEY is now able to generate electricity that induces pain in his own body and/or others' within a proximity. the pain can be dialed up or dialed down. when using this ability, fern will also be able to detect people by sensing their natural electrical charge.
[break][break]

but it is not they set their eyes upon as their hands twist together, claw-like in their conjuring, to hone in on the humming static of pain as it thickens in the air. nor is it mew.[break][break]

their sights pin on instead. they manipulate the generated pain and seize it in their mind. as the sensation dulls throughout their own nervous system, they picture the dial steadily ticking upward in the head ranger's to reach fever pitch.[break][break]

it won't be until he is wracked with the feeling of his body turning traitor that their wild eyes drift back to Annalise as they rise to their feet once more.[break][break]

they are of the same mind here: there is no falling back here.[break][break]

they know it. she knows it.[break][break]

and this is a lesson that Ollie will learn too.[break][break]

they hold that invisible tether in their hand, and it doesn't go slack. he is granted no reprieve.[break][break]

or perhaps it is annalise who holds the tether.[break][break]

this the choice fern presents her with. it is only a matter of her response.

father winter's voice lingers in the room, leaving behind the remnants of his warnings and curiosities. fern pays him as little mind as does fixate. their eyes drift wondering at the whitening strands that crawl through the hair of each person there.[break][break]

for some inexplicable reason, they've each been marked.[break][break]

wonderingly, their fingers thread through their own hair, holding up and peering at the fine white streak. they fancy that they look just fine with the change, and tuck the strand behind an ear as they sit up in their seat. their eyes find as he addresses Mint and then takes his leave.[break][break]

they nod at him in acknowledgement again - silent understanding that they will seek him out on the sub to confer about their traveling again later.[break][break]

then fern's attention sets on again. "if you are looking to delve more into the wilds, please loop me in. particularly if you plan to make more forays into the crater or megalopolis. i'd like to get your insights, and we may be able to track down bulu. or at least get a lead on it."[break][break]

with that said, they find themself itching to depart as the rest begin to scatter. they stand, arms stretching over their head as they shake loose the tension in their limbs. tapu koko draws back to their side, its presence close and hovering. still seems tense after his question posed to .[break][break]

but fern is not much in the mood to linger for any doled out punishment.[break][break]

their hand finds his shoulder. "shall we?" if he wishes to remain, they will just have to wait for him at home.

They hear the pair first, and then they are able to sense them. They haven’t fully come into view, but Fern can see them through the trees. At the sacrifice of their own comfort they concentrate on the hum of electricity that moves through and around them. The dial in their mind ticks up, and pain flares under their skin, but they grit their teeth and look closely. There, through the trees, is the source of the commotion. The infrared glow of body heat and all of that energy flaring brightly through dense green undergrowth.
[break][break]

⚡ FERN DELANEY is now able to generate electricity that induces pain in his own body and/or others' within a proximity. the pain can be dialed up or dialed down.
when using this ability, fern will also be able to detect people by sensing their natural electrical charge.
[break][break]

Crouched on their perch, they tense. Waiting.[break][break]

The surge of their ELECTRIC TERRAIN pulls a pidgey from the air, and truthfully Fern would not have given it a second glance had it not pulled the attention of one ranger—luring him in closer. A smile splits wide across their face, and they wait for the moment he steps too close. Electricty crackles and spider webs upward, eager to meet his feet.[break][break]

Only they’re focus stops short, attention swiveling back to the other presence.[break][break]

The cadence of her shout rings…familiar. Their gaze sharpens as their head tilts. The movement is near animalistic—not unlike the trill of a purrloin catching sight of a starly outside the window.[break][break]

Fern snaps their fingers and the sound is like a crack of sound in the quiet. But they’re no longer on the tree branch. The speed that carries them down and closer to the source of the disturbance is no more than a blink. The space before and is empty, and then they are there. Still just within the terrain, daring the two to step closer, onto to their turf.[break][break]

Like a bolt from the blue.[break][break]

“Well well,” they drawl, their hand finding their chin to cup it as they observe . “The rat is back.” Their gaze flits skyward to Mew, and they recall the last time they encountered the ranger and her charge. The blessing of their new gift, and the spread of all that pain. Synapses on fire before she plummeted into the cold waters swallowing up Sootopolis.[break][break]

The same hand that cradles their chin shifts to cover their mouth, blue eyes alight with faux shock and understanding. “Back for more? I had no idea you were a glutton for punishment, Blondie.”[break][break]

Coolly, they survey Ollie, “And the Head Ranger too? How exciting~” Their mouth splits in a toothy smile void of true congeniality as a dusk ball rolls into their hand. Worn from years of use, scratched on the surface, but indicative of a lifetime of companionship. Cecilia hisses as she is released from the ball, citrine eyes pinning to the man immediately. “Happy to see a familiar face?” they trill to the dragapult as her lips curl to reveal needle teeth.[break][break]

They were masked on Mt. Pyre the day Meteno descended over Hoenn, and again when they encountered Ollie in the deep sea. But they had to wonder if he would know them now, with still no love lost between them.[break][break]

Between any of them.

Their aim was to wiggle their way under her skin. Pick at some scab or rattle her nerves if they could find the right button to press. Though it seemed to take little effort to put her on edge. All Fern needed to do was continue scrutinizing her. Their head tilted in observance.[break][break]
“A shadow, hm?” How strange. “If you belong only to the shadows, why are you here, then?” They took another step, as though making to continue their pacing around her in study. But their movement melded with the energy firing off in their body. Blurring their movement into impossible speed.[break][break]
fern can apparate or travel from place to place instantaneously using electricity and electrical currents. there does not need to be preexisting electricity for this to be possible, for they can create their own.
[break][break]
No more than a blink and they were standing near toe to toe with her, looking down their nose as they gave her shoulder a short nudge with the heel of their hand. “Terribly tangible for a shadow,” they mused before winking out of sight again only to reappear a short distance away.[break][break]
Just to show that they could. That they were not so easy to catch. They eyed her ursaluna, curious to see if it gave any reaction in time. “Who says I sought you out, and didn’t just happen upon you?” they asked in turn, waving a hand flippantly.[break][break]
“There are likely more people in the wood than you or I even realize.” They shrugged, unbothered by the claim. They believed as much too–it was the prime terrain in the area for skulking about with little detection and easy coverage.[break][break]
Was that not, after all, why she was there instead of the proper pathway?[break][break]
“I–” they said with a flourish of their hand against their chest. Fern drew themself up, chin lifting as they looked at her with cool eyes and a sharp, unwavering smile. “–am on my side. Which is to say, I’m on the right side.”[break][break]
Somewhere above them, Fern heard the snap of foliage above–the plummet of something breaking the surface of the treetops. Their glance turned upward again, and their grin widened. All teeth.[break][break]
A blur of orange streaked by, rustling their hair with wind. “And that means you are on the wrong one.”[break][break]
Shiny Tapu Koko screamed into view again as Fern let the flare of an ELECTRIC TERRAIN surge out from where they stood, and the two pieces of its mask shield snapped together as it summoned a peal of THUNDER[break][break]
Electricity forked down from the sky in a bright flash, an earsplitting crack erupting around them and drowning out Fern’s laughter as bits of wood splintering outward as the strike collided with a tree to ’s right.[break][break]
fern can create ELECTRIC TERRAIN or an ordinary electrical field of reasonable size. those caught within the field are more liable to be shocked, revealed, and rendered with the PARALYSIS CONDITION.

The chandelure flares with the light of its spotlight.[break][break]

Fern's eager curiosity quickly morphs into a grimace as the bright halo sweeps over and pins the haggard, mangled creatures.[break][break]

Somewhere, in the depths of their chest, they might have registered a certain sense of pity. They certainly felt bad for whatever it was these pokemon had been subjected to. But they are here for a specific task and so they would be required to plumb much deeper to find that bleeding heart quality they have long desensitized.[break][break]

"Well, that isn't something you see every day," Fern muttered as their narrowed eyes raked over each mutilated pokemon in turn. Hovering above them, Tapu Koko conducts its own observations, keenly fixated on the scales that cobble together limbs and appendages.[break][break]

They lack a scientist's discernment, and so they start forward with little inhibition, intent on scooping some of the littered scales up. But 's words halt them in place, and they turn wide eyes on her. Then their stare drifts down to the tweezers she produces. They hum, somehow both in consideration and disappointment. "I suppose..." Reaching into their coat pocket, Fern produces a pair of leather gloves. "But there's a thrill in handling the unknown, though?" Their smile fixes on her/[break][break]

And they absolutely do not expect her to share the sentiment.[break][break]

Open palms eagerly await the scale dropped there. They turn it over in their hands and attempt to make out any particular distinction. Again, without any sense of caution to either Nenet or 's concerns, Fern inches toward the hobbled pokemon - the grumpig in particular. "I don't suppose they're well enough to do much of anything at all," they remark, but they hold out the loose scale to compare it to one still embedded along its hide. "Do you suppose whatever did this was breaking, or repairing?"[break][break]

Fern frowns. Tapu Lele could be a bit vindictive, no? Fickle, like the rest of the guardians. Maybe it had committed both acts. The snap of temper, followed by an act of contrition? It's all speculative, of course. They won't know until they actually find it.[break][break]

For a moment, their attention shifts to . "What do you make of this?" Does Necrozma recognize the handiwork, perhaps?[break][break]

Holding the scale aloft, they offer it to their patron. "Look familiar?" they ask Tapu Koko, who snatches the piece up with obvious greed. It flits about, and there's something frenzied in its movements. Not unlike when they encountered and Hoenn's Tapu Fini, or either of their encounters with the other Tapu Koko.[break][break]

There is no insight it imparts, however. Necrozma's plaintive summons ring in the back of Fern's mind though the beacon and its cries have long diminished. They must be of the same mind with their patron, though, because Tapu Koko sets forth a signal of its own - furiously calling to its kin. Still holding the scale, it pulls down a column of THUNDER from the sky through the rain. It strikes the ground and flares along the remnants of the ELECTRIC TERRAIN.

Her first words are not to them, but to her companion. The unfamiliar language tickles at their ears, but there is no recognition that dawns upon them. It is no more than a fascinating thing.[break][break]
“No flock?” they echo, head tilting curiously. Fern squints at her. That sharp, jackal smile remains curled at the corners of their mouth. “An island unto yourself then.”[break][break]
How strangely relatable.[break][break]
This is not something they call attention to however, and their voice takes on the tone of saccharine sympathy. “How lonely that must be. Adrift from the lofty ideals of the League. How far you must have fallen.”[break][break]
Fern makes to step around her in a wide semi-circle. Evaluating. “Do tell. Were you pushed…or did you jump from so high, Éiníní? The old Galarian word rolls off of their tongue with ease. Little bird.[break][break]
Will her wings break if they push too hard? Brittle bones snapping under a too tight grip?[break][break]
Ever since their altercation with , the bountiful gift of Tapu Koko has been enhanced. It hums around them, living energy–bright and alive within their grasp. A static buzz that sings to them in the quiet. In the electricity that continues to dance along their palms. Skittering and jumping from wrist to each fingertip.[break][break]
“Perhaps,” Fern finally deigns to answer, and one of those hands rises to grasp contemplatively at their chin, still crackling with energy. But they do not flinch, unaffected by the electricity they generate in and of themself. Their eyes rise with the gesture in a show of thoughtfulness. “Perhaps not.”[break][break]
In actuality, their eyes are scanning for that familiar blur of black and burnt orange as another rumble of thunder rushes through the trees. “Perhaps it is not me you should be wary of. After all, I am no more than a humble wanderer.” A lie, naturally, as they laugh. Stalling. Or just waiting for the right moment to produce a spectacle.[break][break]
But what does a charlatan do best, but exactly that?

fern can summon isolated electrical storms.

There was a growing restlessness among the stillness of the forest. If there was any indicator that perhaps their luck might turn, it is this.[break][break]
Their dragapult’s tongue darts through an open maw, scenting the air as her body flickers in and out of view with spectral intangibility. Fern watches her curiously, blue eyes turning toward the dense forest ahead of them. Ceci’s head bobs, and a low, reptilian coo clicks in the back of her throat. “What have you found, darling?” They murmur to their oldest companion.[break][break]
A clever mouth twists into a sharp smile.[break][break]
“Shall we greet our quarry?” The dragapult releases another low trill, yellow eyes narrowing as the arrow point of her large, angular head turns like the dart of compass. Within their compartments, her dreepy rouse from slumber. “Let us make it a surprise, hm?” Before them the ether of a phantasmic portal opens up.[break][break]
Pulling themself to her back again, Fern allows her to pull them into her PHANTOM FORCE in an effort to reappear behind whatever it is she has found.[break][break]
And found something, she has indeed.[break][break]
They brush fingers through their hair as the portal exit rematerializes, and the straight, dark strands flip behind an ear as they reemerge into the tangible world. “My, what have we here?” they quip, though the cheer in their voice is something sharper. Like a prowling liepard, intent on circling a buneary. “Strayed a bit far from the fold, and from the flock, no?” Their head tilts, eyes blinking with faux innocence as they smile.[break][break]
Cecilia hisses at the large ursaluna that accompanies the woman they’ve uncovered among the trees, but Fern’s hand raises to stay her. Even then, electricity flickers at their fingertips. Above the leaves of the dense trees, the clouds darken and thunder begins to rumble.
