LEAGUE BARRACKS 2B

FINALE

THE CALL TO FOLLOW is understandable considering the circumstances. puddles of ACID DOWNPOUR still sizzle across the battlefield. the grass that once outlined the barrier has been dissolved, reduced to a decayed brown by the bleaching neurotoxin.

this threat must be neutralized.

however, DEREK HOFFMAN is correct. recognizing the cybernetic beeping is what steels his decision to give up the chase. and that reservation is what saves the party from being wiped out.

the electronic chirping crescendos into a high pitch before a gigantic HYPER BEAM erupts from within the temple. white light bleeds from every hall and doorway, blinding, as it wipes out stone, steel, and anything in its path.

thankfully, none of them are caught by it.

visible portions of the temple start to collapse. walls crumbles and the roof starts to cave in as the sound of a battle echoes from within its depths.

what happens inside is left to their imagination.

upon leaving the scene, it takes hours to find their way back into fortree. once they wander far enough, their electronic devices start working and their sense of direction returns.

should they attempt to locate the temple later, it proves impossible. no direction or backtracking finds the carnage the ultra beast laid claim to. evidence of their endeavor is swallowed by the forest, a secret among its endless canopy.

it’s as if trailing the ultra beast had been their compass. without them, they have no guide.

and so the DANGEROUS DISCOVERIES remain uncovered, waiting to be unearthed.

“ZAPDOS?”

[break][break]

different worlds house different pokemon. while xantho has become acclimated to their pokemon, namely the ones they’ve left behind to watch over him, this world’s biodiversity is still a culture shock. their household names are just as alien as ultra space.

[break][break]

“do you h-have a picture?!”

[break][break]

an elevated pitch carries his excitement; the vast and varied ecology of this world bring him great joy. sketches of zac and kazimir’s pokemon fill the later pages of his journal. the transition from written entries to a myriad of sketches help capture just how long he’s been here.

[break][break]

“the only electric pokemon we have back home is lightning.”

[break][break]

he rushes another sketch of a stick figure with a head full of spikes. the only reason either of them can recognize the xurkitree is due to the infamy of the one that appeared on the MAUVILLE WARFRONT. otherwise, xantho’s drawing is barely distinguishable from a blacephalon.

[break][break]

when kazimir comments on the mysterious orb, xantho extends his pencil to showcase the black lead.

[break][break]

“uh, i’m not sure it’s black either… sorry.” he turns the book back to himself to stare at it himself. “the carvings i found had no color… so i took tried to fill it in with what i thought it would look like.”
