BATTLEFRONT 4: POWER PLANT

the ground begins to crack and fall away underfoot, snaking towards them due to the fissure. persephone doubted it would reach them with enough strength to cast them down into the earth, but she flinched back to nikolai's side regardless.

the choice seemed quite natural - with a quick glance at nikolai, she reaches an arm up, clasps her swanna's foot and closes the gap before them with a leap that was supported by the bird's broad wings. the swanna caws and circles back to help the gym leader across as well, and persephone finds herself having to grapple for a smile because the earthquake still shook her bones.

"underwhelming," she comments with a forced mirth.

the moves assaulting the foundation would stall them, but not by much.

the figure ahead was armed with what appeared to be blades. if he fashioned himself a pokemon, he would receive a proper battle of the same nature.

persephone hesitated momentarily before releasing the lucario, who only needed a moment to ascertain the situation with prefect clarity.

"go get him, be careful and come back if anything looks off." she had to raise her voice - the lucario loped off with an extreme speed, ready to pummel the rocket into the ground in close combat.




≫ and perse essentially jump... over? the fissure
≫ swanna helps close the gaps like a little bird hang-glider heheh
≫ lucario is released and uses extreme speed to get to and start smacking him around tbh

he's right, she doesn't believe him.

he's not one for melancholia, and exploiting one of their sweeter memories like this made her taste ash under her tongue, even moreso when he pulled back.

he's circling back, trying to reset the conversation.

but once again, she lets him, following his gaze to the photograph. she's beaming at him in it, and for some reason it hurt. another concession granted, it's how he operated. unyielding, subtle only when you're not as used to seeing him talk.

"i don't know what there is to do about it," she admitted carefully, tearing her eyes from the photograph to watch him again.

"everyone is saying something different. i feel so lost." a touch of bitter sadness in her smile. "nothing new in that."

the minutes ticked by into hours, not that time had any real bearing in a place like meteor falls. the manectric had long since fallen asleep, spent of its nervous energy, or it would have noticed the intrusion sooner.

beady red eyes watched perse and her pokemon for an inordinately long time, until it barreled forward, hitting the manectric with a taunt. yowling, the pokemon leapt to its paws to retaliate with a thunder succeeded by a reckless wild charge, neither of which seemed to hit the fraxure in any meaningful way given their respective typings.

the fraxure must have thought it all a game, because he barrelled forward, repeating his name and knocking the manectric to the ground with no attack in particular - just its own two tusks.

persephone watched the pair tussle around with a shock that quickly turned to amusement. it was cute. she tossed an empty pokeball at the fraxure while it was distracted without thinking about it too deeply.

to her right the cliff face gave way to the rushing waters below; the stream far below her, and the black water impenetrable by her pokemon's light.

in the gloom, she would have missed it if the manectric hadn't alerted her to a wild pokemon's presence. nose sticking out over the edge in a vehement odor sleuth, shackles raised and teeth bared.

she follows his gaze, sighing, and peers over the edge into the water's depths to catch sight of the object of the mancetric's interest; a pink eel-shape twisted around in the rapids. usually, it would be perhaps difficult to identify, but persephone had seen the undeniable shape, colour and movement of a gorebyss multiple times before.

"no," she told the manectric firmly, and turned back to her tools. the electric pokemon heaved a reluctant sigh and sat, while the gorebyss passed them by.

she calls him back to her – no – to the present, in a voice that sounds too calm and too distant even to her ears.

his statuesque stillness is still regal, but the hollow eyes, breathing unsteady, his hand on her arm clammy unnerve her. to hear him, so infallible, plead with her made her blood run cold with a fear she never knew she had.

"i promise i'll do as you say, just please be careful too." she cuts herself off from continuing because there are no words that could soothe either of them.

for his sake, she lies, a bittersweet assurance that she never intends to follow through, sealed with an embrace so fleeting it may have not even happened.

"i'm so sorry."

apologies both for the fact that it all has to happen and for the lie, even if he doesn't know it. but surely he is aware that she'd rather go down in the vanguard or by his side than run?

the flight is shorter than it feels, and she holds him until her knuckles turn white, hopes he can't feel her heartbeat pounding.

forced to the ground by the sandstorm, persephone hisses at the sting against her shoulders, but she follows nikolai regardless, close enough that she could reach out and touch him if she wanted to.

he was different here. from the posture to the tone, a familiarity that only comes with experience. the realisation struck her with its gravity; he's from kanto, he's seen this before.

they move through the dust until it became unbearable, and at his words persephone is quick to release her own pokemon in a burst of light. the swanna materialises overhead, shaky against the swirling airborne debris, a flitting white shadow in the sky.

"clear it for us," persephone calls out to her, and the pokemon abides, beating her wings in a powerful flurry, a defog that buffets back the dust and dirt until their visibility is restored, the power plant looming in the near distance.

after a moment, persephone inches forward to stand alongside nikolai, an implicit refusal to let him shield her again.

semantics.

she smiles at his touch automatically, an instinctive reaction that makes her jaw tighten. after several long moments, she turns her hand, palm-up, and curls his fingers in hers.

she won't contest his words because that's a fight she won't ever win. it's a game of chess; it has to be, and this was her only way of attacking him. if speaking doesn't work, then actions might.

"i know, and i'm sorry you have to bear witness to this conversation again."

he would know she's choosing to not engage the point, she's argued enough, purged it out of her system.

she coats her voice in saccharine.

"tell me about your version of the future, fernando."

after the last incident with her chandelure chasing off random pokemon into the darkness - a characteristic she had never observed before - persephone decided to place the pokemon on functional probation and try a different source of light for the caves.

first she tried the charmander, but he proved even more unreliable than the chandelure, wandering off on a whim and nearly falling over into every single puddle, panicking, running back, a bobbing flame in the darkness.

the manectric was a little better than that, but barely. the crackling of electricity around his paws was unnerving in the near-suffocating silence, and persephone found herself eyeing him warily. much like her other two pokemon, cerza was prone to give chase to objects of his interest. the difference was that he was quicker about getting back to her, and scarcely bothered to bring anything live back to her anyway.

in short? should have brought a flashlight.

persephone stashed the newly-filled capsule into her jacket pocket without much celebration, scowling at the chandelure. their only source of light, a pokemon she'd trained for over a decade, should know better than to chase obscure lights in the dark.

following that display, she couldn't bring herself to really resent the officer's question - she's well aware that she fit the description of 'black market meteor seller' more than 'respectable archaeologist.'

she doesn't comment on his request, moving back to the place most of her belongings still lay near one of the rock walls. it was only after she took out the laminated card and passed it to him that she really have a chance to see where the second man had gone.

it's not that she hadn't heard the young woman's cry - but she was so preoccupied with her pokemon's chase that she didn't fully appreciate the situation until now. she would move forward to help, but she was waiting for the officer to be satisfied with his check of her license, so she bit her lip impatiently and hoped it didn't make her look more suspicious.

the chandelure shared her apprehension, and started slinging will-o-wisps at what seemed to be a regular rock until it started to move. persephone didn't attempt to stop it this time; she merely watched, exasperated.

"what a coincidence that all your answers would match mine, then!" she exclaimed, glancing up to peer at him through a veil of fine white hair.

and it was true, not empty just empty words. to think she'd meet a kindred spirit here of all places, amongst a pile of trash.

his next question was simple enough on the face of it, but she found herself hesitating to come up with something that matched his answer in its earnestness.

she could tell him it was a sense of obligation; her newly instated ranger rank within the league that compelled her into action, but that felt somehow dishonest because it was only one aspect of a multi-faceted truth.

but saying that it was all from a misplaced sense of guilt wouldn't cut it either.

"i'm with you on that," persephone said eventually, her words slow and contemplative, forcing her to pause and think.

"i don't know, it just kills me to see this place in such bad shape. makes me wonder if places like this always need clean-up and i just took it for granted. how many other smalls things have i missed?"

a thought is brought to its knees

like a mirror indiscernible
through the blossoms of gasoline
Persephone inclines her head in agreement at his assessment, flashing a quick grin; for what it was worth, yes the place was somewhat disturbed, but not in the way that suggested human involvement.

"Yeah, he can get a sense on hidden people, Pokemon, really strong old lingering feelings. That sort of thing," she said, taking one final glance around the grand hallway before turning to follow Zeke down the hallway automatically, carefully eyeing the crooked paintings lining the walls. "To be honest, I'm not really sure how it works, but it's decently accurate," she admitted idly.

Having the Pokemon's assistance in determining these things for so long made her realise that there was a certain amount of privilege attached to it; turning to the Lucario to ascertain motives was like second nature.

She heard the ticking too. "A possessed clock? That's novel," she ponders, hoping her smile and light tone do a passable job of masking the tension in her shoulders.

Wasn't there a Pokemon who did that sort of thing, hiding in objects?

It's not that she didn't like ghost types - she had a handful herself and found them quite charming. The thing setting them apart from some wild one causing havoc is that they were hers, and ghost types could be quite unsettling at best and downright dangerous at worst. It was just in their nature.

Turning to her side to look at her Pokemon, he didn't need to be directed to do what he came for; pausing in place, statuesque, eyes closed, and ears flat against his skull, while he tried to read the area around them. After several long moments, he snapped out of his reverie and jerked his head towards the second to last door down the corridor.
