Sinistea held Robin's gaze and chimed a little pep talk. "I know, I know," Robin said dismissively, "I'm puttin' some pep in my step right now, I prommise." She had been feeling down lately, not just because of her disqualification at 's gym, but also because there was something happening in the region. She could tell by how flighty all the wildlife had been at Lilycove. Something was coming, and even agreed when Robin complained about it in the hot springs.

The ghost enthusiast rubbed a hand down her face, turning her front into a grin to appease Sinistea. "See? All happy." The ghost was not very enthused, but Robin gave her some jazz hands to further persuade the possessed tea that Robin would not be a downer. "Noah agreed to come along again, so it'll all be fine. We gotta one-up his Urshifu, though." The two of them shared a conspiratorial smirk -- indeed, they couldn't let themselves be outdone by some dude!

A RUINED CITY IN ULTRA SPACE. It is unclear whether this is a different universe's Ultra Megalopolis or smaller colony. Regardless, it is a dark city with intermittent sections of flickering, artificial light... Large, black prism-like skyscrapers loom above flat black streets. Much ruin has fallen here, but you get the sense that you're not alone...

Robin jumped in place with excitement at the approval. "Great! Let's start with you, little ringleader." She pulled a pokeball and tapped it against the girl, but the capsule didn't react.

Huh?

She tapped on the capture capsule to grow it to its full size and tried again, but it did nothing. She furrowed her brow and looked at it as if the dysfunction would be written on the front. She then tapped it to Sinistea, and the capsule blinked red to indicate the pokemon was already caught. "Hm, so it works to read already-captured pokemon," she murmured as she tapped it against herself. It didn't react, as pokeballs didn't read humans as capturable. Then she tapped it on the girl again just to receive the same reaction.

"Oh my Arceus. Are you a trainer?" Her face grew hot - had she offered to catch a child? Then she huffed, realizing the girl was playing a prank on her. "That's not very funny! What if you got hurt because I thought you were really a pokemon and can handle the frontlines?" She panicked, thinking about how that battle could've gone very wrong. Hadn't the girl tanked an electrical shock from the voltorb she touched? That could've been lethal!

More assertively, Robin demanded: "Where are your parents?"

Functional and practical movesets sounded good. Her team, generally, was too heavy on attack moves. She was eager to see what he had to teach. Her face fell at his question. She wasn't a very good liar, and her heart was still bleeding over everything that had happened lately. "I beat the Dewford gym, but I challenged Mauville and got disqualified. Everyone's been teaching me to do everything I can to win! And when I do it, I get punished? Am I supposed to survive every battle or not?" Her voice rose with emotion as she continued until the final question, where she corrected herself to a whisper.

She rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry. It's been a hard week, actually. I feel like I'm listening, but I can't do anything right." She wanted to rage about it further, really, but that anger only took her so far before she felt hollow. "Um, sorry. I do really want to learn. Better movesets make for better strategy."

Was Gwen downplaying how on-edge the entire world had felt, or was she just confident in her ability to course-correct should disaster strike? Robin wanted to feel good about her best friend - she knew Gwen was capable, and she was growing strong every day. But the fear was so real. She couldn't risk anything happening to Gwen. Robin was nearly abducted for getting in over her head; she couldn't let Gwen face the same fate.

She fought the urge to blurt out her worst fears. Instead, she cleared her throat. "Um. I think it's a response to malicious energy. Like, all the wildlife knows something bad is about to happen. These behaviors are like, um, if an earthquake is gonna strike, but the Rangers in charge of environmental monitoring have been upping their range on the devices. Nothing appears to be coming."

Even people were responding to the nervousness of wildlife by stockpiling themselves. Many stores in Dewford had sold out of essentials, according to her older sister. Criminal activity had suspiciously not hit an uptick. That is what set her off -- surely, Rocket was planning something. They were organizing something; otherwise, lowly thugs would be taking advantage of such rapid movements of goods in all the cities to smuggle or steal.

Robin explained as much, looking to be approaching a nervous breakdown.

Huh. This little Zorua was interesting. She wished she had brought her Gengar to this fight, as perhaps she could use him to speak to the Gengar-fluent Zorua, but then again, his tricky nature would leave him mistranslating for fun. At least the ghastly gang was effective. She was thankful for the Gengar tanking the electricity, and for the quick-thinking confuse ray.

It left one for Robin to deal with. "Tera blast!" She cried. Sinistea launched the tera blast, which was ground type because of her terastallization. It was super effective, knocking out the electric type. "Yeah!" Robin said, pumping a fist in the air. "We did so good. The city's tourists live another day."

She grinned ear to ear as she approached the Zorua-girl. "You don't have to hide! I love ghosts, so your friends are a-okay with me. In fact, you could come along my journeys if you and your friends are interested?" She showed off the unused pokeballs on her belt, though she wasn't sure she had enough for the whole gang on hand. It would be terrible to separate them.

A ghastly gang came to the rescue. Robin watched, stunned, as the scene unfolded -- it felt like a dream come true as a ghost-enthusiast and as someone who had become a Ranger for the sole purpose of rescuing the reputation of ghosts. To see several ghosts band together to be heroes was exactly -

Was that a little girl?

The girl spoke... like a gengar. Ah. "A zorua and her gang of ghosts, huh? I dig it." Robin nodded assertively with the unearned confidence of a fool and their unproven hypothesis that sounded good to them. "Let's kick some voltorb butt!" The 'torbs were rolling around a little disoriented from the shadow work of the girl; one of them had landed harshly like a heavy ball. "Sinistea, let's try a POLTERGEIST!"

Sinsitea obeyed, possessing one of the voltorbs like it was just a large pokeball. She picked it up and tossed it into another voltorb, but the contact between electric pokemon generated a discharge coming towards Robin and the girl alike.

Robin shook her fist at as the wailord usurped her after being head to head. The big wave caused by its passing almost overtook her, but Carracosta held strong. However, she did see the fashionable woman behind her, , who couldn't survive the water as well as she did. She huffed. She wanted to get ahead of that wailord, though she also needed to keep her cool.

Carracosta cheered, and Robin regained her mentality. "OK, yeah, you're right. Eye on the prize: keepin' it steady." She stayed the course, not steering aggressively even as she began to feel a little antsy about doing so.

Robin had invited Gwendolyn out to the hot springs. It was to hang out, but there was something else, too. With them both seated in the springs, Robin didn't spare much time at all. "I didn't ask you to come just to sit in hot water," she blurted out quickly. "Um. Something bad is happening. In Hoenn. I think you can see it, too."

Pokemon were in severe survival mode. Odd behaviors were being noted all over the region. Pokemon were stashing more food and making deeper dens. Worse still, there was a major uptick in sick Absol. That was foreboding more than anything. She wanted to ask Gwen a hundred questions about how prepared she was, but she held her tongue. She wanted to know if Gwen had noticed it, too.

The scientist was out of the picture, but Robin still needed to find something to do about Type: Null. She had refused when authorities tried to claim it for evidence. She had told them sharply that TN was not evidence of anything they needed to keep track of. Indeed, the lack of humanity - or the betrayal of it, really - that TN represented was not something that got logged into their system or tracked on the chain of custody.

TN was the physical embodiment of hatred and the absence of ethics. She had taken TN to a pokemon cafe to get it some berries; she kept Sinistea by her side, too, so the TN would know Robin treated pokemon well. It had refused to eat. Robin wasn't sure how to coerce it to. The helmet on its head looked painful. She sat with it instead, eating alongside Sinstea and hoping the companionship added something.

A dozen tourists were walking through the street, following a city guide who explained the architecture. Robin wasn't a part of the group, but she had gotten the ping in the Ranger chat that there were angry voltorbs around the city. One sighting had included a video of one pursuing a citizen, but some Munna had put it to sleep before it could explode on the innocent civilian.

Robin turned a corner only to see the group faced with a line of three voltorbs, beelining for the tourists. "Sinistea, tera!" The possessed cup of tea activated her tera shards for the second time, but she didn't turn into stellar. No, Sinsitea became a ground type. "Sin, what-" but a Voltorb struck down with lightning at the group of tourists, and Sinistea floated above the group to eat the electrical attack. "Disperse!" Robin shouted into the crowd.

The tourists scattered, but it was still Robin and Sinistea against three angry, angry voltorbs.
