Bitter chocolate [hh]

she freezes

at leo's last comment. she indeed knows he likes his chocolate plain. long ago now, when she asked him which of all the chocolates he'd received for valentine's he liked the most on his senior year of highschool, his answer had been fulminating.

[break][break]

rhian had opted for dark chocolate couverture filled with dry strawberries then, thinking for sure that someone as cool as him only ate dark chocolate. she was proved wrong, of course.

[break][break]

"i know, but i just- i just wanted to try something a little more fancy," she answers carefully, each word a landmine. it's not lying if she's only hiding a piece of the truth, right?

[break][break]

"besides!" she starts again, the thought of even lying to him at all making her increasingly nervous, "dates and pistachios are supposed to be healthy! high in antioxidants! we should be eating more of them!"

[break][break]

there was something on the websites she'd checked mentioning one of them helped lose fat. she's not sure which exactly, but she's not lying about this.

it takes up to

five minutes for the carbon dioxide emitted by a power generator to make things explode. given the measures that had been taken to prevent her escape, she doubts five minutes is enough for any of them to make it out alive if they went through with this crazy plan.

[break][break]

rhian doesn't know what else they have planned. she kind of doesn't want to know.

[break][break]

"you mean you're gonna kidnap me." it's not a question, and it's not a pretty way to word it either. reflex has her taking a step back, but it's futile—she's trapped.

[break][break]

"please," she tries a different approach, "please stop."

[break][break]

the handkerchief is being tied around her hands but the one she's looking for is the older man. the way the younger one turns to him for guidance and confirmation makes it more than clear that right now he's the one in charge.

[break][break]

"just leave the generator alone, please. blowing it up... thousands of people above us will die." rhian can feel herself begin to tear up at the thought of more innocent people losing their lives, at her makeshift handcuffs, at the craziness of it all. she really should have stayed home.

[break][break]

so far, the silver-haired boy had been the friendlier one. perhaps due to his age, he also felt more approachable than the older man. if she has any chance to appeal to one of them, it would be to him. "does he have you threatened? do they?" rhian doesn't specify who the 'they' is, but it's clear in her tone. team rocket.

rhian notices

how it's pointedly 'rustboro', not 'home' anymore.

[break][break]

she started calling their apartment in lilycove her home too, though to begin with rustboro never felt like her home. home used to be alto mare, where she grew up next to her mommy and daddy until mommy was gone and then so was daddy.

[break][break]

for leo, who really used to consider the city of stones his home, to say it though—it makes something in her stomach twirl. more than his comment about her being a glutton does.

[break][break]

"it's for the pokémon, silly!" she answers with a pout. "how are we gonna catch them if we don't feed them first?" she makes it sound like it's the most obvious thing in the world and that leo should know it too. it's because she genuinely believes luring pokémon with candy is the default way to catch pokémon.

[break][break]

her rant prolongs until after leo's engaged a gigalith in battle. "you know, the other day when i visited the safari, i brought so many sweets and it was the best catching experience in my life." it may have also been her first, not counting the few other pokémon she'd befriended outside of the safari.

[break][break]

in her recalling of past events, she doesn't notice the drampa that soon makes its way next to her. "oh!" she says, startled. later, she'd add a smile and a "hello there." rhian reaches up to caress the side of the bearded pokémon.

[break][break]

"leo, oh my latias, it looks just like a grandpa!"

[break][break]

rhian tilts her head when the dragon flies one circle around her, maybe looking for something on her. could it be berries? "i'm sorry, big boy, i didn't bring any sweets with me because a certain someone didn't warn me we'd be coming here."

[break][break]

she closes her eyes, pondering for a second. "hmm... hey leo? can't we bring it along on our real date later?" her eyes sparkle at the thought. "we'll eat lots of yummy pastries and you can have your pick at one!"

[break][break]

rhian presents an empty pokéball to the big dragon. how exactly she'll convince the restaurant's staff to let such a big pokémon inside, she'd figure out later. "what do you say?"

it's blinding

. there's a moment during which rhian regrets not having brought out her klefki again to ensure the suspicious man didn't get away. regrets would do little at this point though. neither would her flailing arms.

[break][break]

in her struggle, she manages to grab onto an arm. she hopes it's leo's cause otherwise it would be very awkward. the arm doesn't pull back, and she ventures her other arm around the figure.

"unhand me at once."

[break][break]

the voice is clear, though somewhat distant. she figures she'd actually somehow caught their failed infiltrator in his tracks. otherwise why would he be saying such a thing? slowly, she opens her eyes.

[break][break]

it's the mr. mime standing in front of her. the chubby face tilts to a side, startling the young scientist-to-be. rhian lets go. as she does, she notices the mr. mime is missing a big chunk of hair. probably a result of angering her mimikyu.

[break][break]

a part of her hopes it stays, if only because further attempts at fleeing would surely result in casualties. she's still terrified of clowns, but it chooses not to resist. rhian lets it stand next to her for the time being.

[break][break]

"should we call someone now?" she asks, turning to see what the rest of the team had been up to.

rhian doesn't

think leo's ever lied to her before, or if he ever did she at least isn't aware of it. the confession comes as a surprise, but the subsequent feelings of betrayal are offset by his reasoning for it.

[break][break]

leo noticed a need of hers that she never mentioned to him. furthermore, he took the time to plan an outing like this on his one day off, instead of just using it to rest or to have fun like he'd made her believe.

[break][break]

she smiles at him. that's keeper material right there. "you're a liar," she declares. loud, serious, moved. "but you're the sweetest liar i could have asked for, so i'll forgive you this once."

[break][break]

she doesn't even notice the sudowoodoo as she follows leo towards... wherever he was going. the azurill splashing in the water far below also goes unnoticed as she mulls over the real reason behind their outing.

[break][break]

"eh? but leo, there's a problem. i didn't bring any candies with me!"

even meteoro's

physical attacks don't seem to be having too much of an effect on the mr. mime. it takes them almost as well as hero had taken the

psychic

attack earlier. and by almost, rhian means it. while the mimikyu took the attack like a champ due to his ability

disguise

, the mr. mime took both hits but shrugged them off like they were nothing.

[break][break]

rhian sits on this thought as her mimikyu creates a second shadow of himself and aims at the mr. mime with

shadow sneak

.

[break][break]

her attention shifts to the mysterious man. he's no longer laughing, but a grin can be seen on his face. it's probably the only thing visible on his face, so it's pretty easy to spot. rhian frowns, looks back at the fight, and realizes why.

[break][break]

"hero, behind you!"

[break][break]

the mr. mime —what they thought to be the mr. mime— is just a decoy. a timely

substitute

. the real mr. mime has someone made its way to her mimikyu to give it a pair of

double slaps

.

[break][break]

the cloth covering hero's body flutters. in that moment, rhian feels sorry for the mr. mime despite it looking so scary and being so mean. under his disguise, hero

hones claws

and quickly follows up with

shadow claw

.

fear turns

into admiration the moment persephone's lucario steps in. the marowak's skin is dark, as if charred by the magical fire lighting up each end of its bone. it looks nothing like any marowak rhian's seen before, and yet the head scientist's pokémon goes up against it and manages to break its bone with ease.

[break][break]

the feat is amazing not only due to the sheer strength of the lucario, or the bravery before, but because they did not hurt the marowak itself.

[break][break]

"grandt," she mutters, calling her own pokémon to action.

[break][break]

the klefki doesn't move to attack, but the time it takes the lucario to summon a

shadow bone

of his own and use it to break the marowak's is enough for the klefki to encircle them all in a tight

fairy lock

. for as long as grandt kept his sparkling pink prison up, none of them would be able to flee.

[break][break]

"i'll notify the law enforcement branch," she tells persephone, her fingers already running across the keyboard of her pokénav with a message:

[break][break]

apprehended a rocket operative trying to break into a league facility. backup requested at mossdeep space center.



[break][break]

rhian wants nothing more than to gush at her superior and her lucario, but the current situation calls for a different approach. she turns, nervous but firm, to the spectacled rocket.

[break][break]

"why were you trying to break in?"

[break][break]

she doesn't expect the man to answer with a long monologue detailing the full extent of his plan like in the movies, but it's worth a shot. it's also a good way to stall while backup arrives.

clowns are

scary. they're probably the only other pokémon besides ghosts that really scare rhian. how could adorable mime jr. grow up into such scary fellows? she takes a step closer to leo, almost hiding behind his taller frame in fear.

[break][break]

"no," she answers truthfully. she's not ready, but it's not like the scary man and his scarier pokémon would wait around for them. rhian takes a deep breath and nods.

[break][break]

the mr. mine turns to face them. rhian feels her heart beat faster. the man is dressed as a scientist but something about him makes her skin crawl. it's all so scary.

[break][break]

by now, rhian's returned her rotom, klefki and blissey back to their balls to make their run faster, but now she feels it's time to call her mimikyu out. scientist or not, it'd be better to have a pokémon out just in case. fighting a scary clown with a much cuter pokémon that would ease her mind sounds like a good plan.

[break][break]

the man laughs. rhian's not sure at what. she's so wary of the mr. mime that her eyes are on it throughout the entire conversation. its hands move in a way strikingly familiar. it's a mime act, but what it could possibly mean, she has no idea.

[break][break]

no, she does have an idea. a brilliant one. "hero,

copycat

,"
she whispers.

[break][break]

if the mr. mime meant nothing by its show, then her mimikyu's move would do nothing. if it did, then the scary clown would get a spoonful of its own medicine. despite his lack of arms, the mimikyu manages to copy the opponent's

light screen

.

rhian's happy

to follow leo's lead. she's a little worried about the fallen pokémon, both water pokémon as well as the mightyena from earlier, but she figures if leo's hurrying so much it must be for something. she also supposes that the faster they stop the people trying to break in, the sooner they can notify the scientists inside the space center about them.

[break][break]

grandt's

fairy lock

is the first to poof. because it needed to be reapplied on every turn, just stopping makes the magical chains loosen and the locks disappear.

[break][break]

the

spikes

are a little harder. her klefki can't really control them at will and rhian's tempted to just ask leo to get his scolipede to help them up, but after such a hard fight she has to wonder if that would be alright after all.

[break][break]

she turns to her blissey. "cher, do you still have some of those

egg bombs

on you?"
a nod is all rhian needs to confirm it, and before long she's trying to push everyone a few steps back so that the explosion doesn't hurt either of them.

[break][break]

in hindsight, rhian should have realized the boom would scare the scientists residing inside, but at the moment she just wants to get things over with as soon as possible.

[break][break]

they run.

the milotic's

attack serves as signal for roto loto to step in. while the water pokémon are still recovering from her

disarming voice

, the rotom launches a timely

confuse ray

at the feraligatr.

[break][break]

it takes a moment to verify whether the attack worked or not, during which rhian has her fingers uselessly crossed. the rotom gives the feraligatr a moment before using

astonish

on it. if the confusion didn't work, then it would at least flinch while the rotom

charged

its next attack.

[break][break]

stepping back is a sort of impossible task with the

spikes

surrounding the field, but when the leo's plan starts to take form with the swampert's moves, rhian thinks she understands his intent—he's not asking her to step back from the entire battle; just from that side of the field.

[break][break]

a poke at her blissey and klefki has them repositioning themselves a bit closer to the walls the klefki has created around them. and, when leo orders his scolipede to

rock climb

said wall, rhian is ready. "roto loto, your turn!"

[break][break]

the rotom fires off an electrically hazardous

discharge

at the pools of water, which catches both the confused feraligatr and swampert. though the latter is immune to this attack, she can see the feraligatr's body tremble before falling to the ground.

[break][break]

the swampert is trying to follow after the scolipede up the long

spikes

, but the path is too slippery.

rhian swears

she's been awake. she really has. the light shake from leo only alerted her of their arrival; she only leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes to properly enjoy the moment, not to sleep.

[break][break]

"thanks for the ride, meteoro." she hops off the metagross' back with a bit of the pokémon's help and scans her surroundings. the big craters surrounding them is a dead giveaway as to where they are. they're standing on top of meteor falls—on top of one of the craters, in fact.

[break][break]

they had sneaked out here a couple times back in their school years, but it still makes for a very odd spot for a date. she turns to her now boyfriend. "you have a really weird understanding of the word date, leo."

"wha-what are

you doing?!"

rhian has the good judgement of taking a step (or more like three) back when the older man's noivern goes for the ceiling. stare in stupefaction is all she can do at the mayhem being brought to her until then peaceful day.

[break][break]

her flashlight flickers as her rotom exits it and dives for the pokénav in rhian's conveniently open bag. if the vandals were to look at her closely, they would notice a thin bolt of lighting there for a second or two, and then gone.

[break][break]

the girl couldn't exactly make use of the device openly in front of her present company, but the rotom could make the call for help in her place.

the good news? the generator had been off for long enough that they have no risk of it exploding in their faces at the sudden burst.

[break][break]

the bad news? rhian is trapped underground with a pair of psychos.

"what do you mean!" she cries at the unreasonable request, loud enough to cause him to flinch, if nothing else. it's a stark contrast compared to the meek tone she'd used upon meeting them—and with good reason. she's panicking.

looking at him from up close, rhian realizes the boy may have been around her age, and she can't help but wonder what could have possibly brought him to act this way. "if you blow up the power plant we're getting blown up with it!"
