"i wouldn't say last, but surely the end of a phase." cadis, from behind the glass, stared at the inactive genesect. "we've created soan artificial pokemon. something the league most likely would not approve of if they were to discover this." the thought of taking genesect out for a spin and testing its capabilities was tempting. he wondered how many pokemon could the metallic creature face.

"your braviary was put through the shadow trial, right?" cadis would come to place a hand upon the ballistic glass. "well, someday you will inherit this position should anything happen to me. so we're here to test the power of our creation, i wish to see just how much damage output it can produce. but i also wish to see the growth of a shadow pokemon. are they able to grow in the midst of battle like a normal pokemon would?" genesect had yet to be placed within battle mode and resided, currently, within its inactive state.

"it took several tries, were we successful in shadowifying your braviary?" cadis asked with curiosity. he heard how the process was prolonged for the braviary. "i hope the constant testing it was put through was worth it." though, if it were successful, he'd add another question, "has the braviary been listening to you?"

"lucky, lucky! you got a great spot, i'm jealous!" dawn giddily responded. shaking her hand afterwards, he would address her about the councilman in question. "i think that's a semi-good idea, especially since that guy has a mix of opinions about him. he seems pretty interesting, though it looked as if he were in a hurry. kinda just forced this stuff into my hand, and that teddiursa with him might have stole my wallet..." referring to kim cole-essam, he would wave off their short interaction in order to not dawdle from the topic.

"cait didn't exactly need anything," dawn wandered over to her desk to set the goodies down after their handshake. "it's more like i'm running an errand for her. i'm just a middleman, be sure to thank her for these goods." leaning upon her desk slightly, a casual hum was heard as he pondered on his next thought. "so what's it like being a professor now? you doin' anything fun? has this promotion gotten in the way of your relationships, friendships, family, romantic love life? don't hold back, professor reyes!" dawn teased.

it had been sometime, approximately three months, since cadis, under the guise of dawn grandier, had set foot within league territory. much had change within the course of three months. new leaders, as per usual, were brought in. some professors were now retired while others promoted. the council was still a mess.

regardless, he, too, had changed. cait alfric had no idea as to where her gym trainer had gone, but he was back. he met up with the gym leader and she requested of his assistance: he was here to congratulate the new professor, illeana reyes, on her behalf. they'd never met before, but that didn't mean dawn, or rather cadis, wasn't interested in those within favorable positions.

if he recalled correctly cadis did hear about the new professor interning with FERNANDO SILPH once from cait. other than that nothing really significant stood out. he wondered what sort of person they were. with a simple gift bag in hand, the snow haired colleague would come to enter her place of work. asking to see illeana reyes, he would come to be escorted to her whereabouts.

"i can take care of the rest, thank you!" dawn reassured the receptionist. a simple knock upon the door was made, whether clearance to enter or not had been given, he'd casually poke the head of a teddiursa stuffed animal through the crack. "allooo!" he said in a playful voice, fully entering after with bags of goodies in tow. "hello, hello! is the new professor home?" peeking from behind the bear, dawn would come to be surprised by the professor who stood before him.

"w-wow, you clean up nicely!" he blurted out, "that lab coats looks really good on you!" especially the lighting in this room. "you could have a photoshoot in this place." and she looked as if she were ready. "the name is dawn grandier, i was sent here by cait and bumped into a councilman who wanted me to give you this teddiursa, hope that's okay!"

cadis would not answer as to whether he knew or did not. he would merely give a response in the form of a story, "in the holy scripture, and forgive me if you're unfamiliar with religion or uncomfortable," cadis apologized in advance before continuing, "it's said that there were a specific number of trumpets given to seven holy beings." silence arose as cadis' expression, hidden from gavin, became desolate.

"angels..." cadis paused for a second, "are believed to represent the personification of 'good' because of their 'light' and biblical appearance. but that's not really the case. just because you do good things doesn't necessarily mean you're good person." he knew all too well about this fact. he was the personification of a man who could be seen as either good or bad due to his appearance; he was a wolf in sheep's clothing to those of the league.

"in this version, the holy creatures are the legends and mythological beings we hear so much about. the trumpets are what i'm searching for, but they're not trumpets specifically. these representatives were bestowed abilities that serve as a key to calling what i've been searching for." to say that it selected the representatives was foolhardy, cadis shook his head within a horizontal motion. "we've witnessed the chosen ones and, somewhat, as to how they are selected. so far there are approximately, as far as we know, four representatives who wield their 'trumpets'." which reminded him, with a simple finger snap, "that's right you're unaware of this, but we actually have one in our possession."

"you're a good man, gavin; kind is the best way to describe you." his compliment touched him. but even then he still had yet to feel as such. little did he know, upon the surface, there was much more to the snow-haired male than meets the eye. "the original one," cadis repeated, "our door to this world's recreation."

"in order to summon it and utilize its gifts, we have to find its chosen disciples." the avatars, beings who were blessed by a creature of great power. "out of curiosity, tell me, are you aware of myths surrounding humans who were capable of bonding with a creature of legend?" cadis would ask the scientist. it would be a shock if gavin had not been aware of the existence of avatars, but cadis wanted to be sure.

"i think..." a hand was brought to his chin. head bobbing left and right as he thought about his response. a simple buzzing hum was heard, "i'm just a selfish human being in the end." wishful thinking, he'd continue, "but that doesn't necessarily make me evil, but it does make me happy. no matter what another may label as. as long as i get to feel human, do human things, and learn about human emotions, i'm happy." he'd come to walk closer to the edge of the hill. staring toward the sea.

"if i were to die right now. i'd die happy, because in life there is death. humans die, monsters don't. if i were to die right now, would that be enough to prove that i was human?" a smile worn as cadis looked back toward gavin. "of course not, how silly of me." he'd turn back toward the sea. "just wishful thinking of a selfish human being," cadis softly said. "evil or good..." he paused briefly.

"evil or good, we're merely human beings all chasing after something. i'm sure you of all people can understand that, we're simply just the one percent who are willing to act upon our selfish desires; no matter if they're good or bad." in this line of work one needed to have ambition and a steeled heart. especially if they were chasing something unobtainable alone. "my goal is to achieve not just my dream, but everyone else's. and in order do that..." he'd look toward gavin, "we must find the pieces of the original one."

"mmm..." he'd turn to face gavin and introduce him to a childlike smile, "like a million bucks." a softness seen in his expression as rosy cheeks would reside. "i can't remember the last time i felt this good." cadis, without effort, stood from his chair and outstretched his arms. "the way the air molecules push against my skin during this breeze. i'd forgotten..." hugging himself, cadis paused momentarily, "...no. i never knew the sensation of this sense. the exteroception of the world..." the right fingertips of his hand traced his left arm.

"it's as if as though my entire being has been reborn." flexing the muscles of his fingers, cadis would direct his attention back onto gavin. "during my bedridden state, i had a lot of time to think." once more his attention diverted to the sea, "rocket, silas, the league, my goal, and my past." cadis sat on his words for a moment, "it's time to begin our new direction. it's time we prepare to unveil to the word rocket's true goal."

had he gone mad? no, of course not. cadis knew exactly what he was saying. "tell me something gavin, where do you think we stand on the spectrum of morality? are we the heroes or the villains?"

the sea cooed under clouds that hid the sun's beams. a grassy green walkway had been crafted by a bed of flowers that resided on the right and left of those who chose to walk, or in his case roll, to watch the still sea hum. white hair swayed due to a sudden breeze. porcelain skin without blemish. soft hues peered forward as a light hum was made.

with Eva Dumont and elijah gardner having left the wheelchair bound, per his wish, alone. this person would come to order one of the pair to summon the recently appointed underboss, Cillian Quinn, to meet him atop of this hill that wasn't far from their safehouse. once they were set to arrive, they would come to hear a familiar tone greet them, "gavin..." the soft tone called.

draped within a comforting garb. the snow-haired male would come to half-way turn his head, eyes covered by long hair, "i hope you've been well." the boss of rocket would appear different. mentally he was there, vocally, but physically? he was very different. "come watch the sea with me." a single palm had been extended for the male to come closer, "let's have a chat, and tell me how you've been during my absence."

DIVE BOMB

[attr="class","aname2"]

remnant event: you've got bombs!

[attr="class","ipad"]

[attr="class","freiwantpkmn"]

their open hole shorcut had been made.

[break][break]

in the middle of dorian westcliff's conversation to the group, a sudden SCREECH, intercepting said conversation, loudly emerged from the intercoms. the telepathic pokemon belonging to Ruby Walker would feel a great sharp pain. this noise was so great that it would interrupt their telepathic search, how could one focus with an unbearable noise echoing?

[break][break]

though this wouldn't just effect them. it would effect all with an eardrum, trainers and pokemon alike. a momentary lapse in movement hindered them from continuing onward as bomb-b's voice emerged, "don't think i'll let you get in my way so easily, dorian westcliff. as much as i like havin' fun, i don't enjoy nuisances." suddenly a shadow loomed over the group from the captain's bridge.

[break][break]

[break][break]

looking down on them with a grin as he erupted into laughter, bomb-b would suddenly show himself. in one hand he wielded a remote control device and in another what seemed to be a phone bomb-b casually waved during his entrance. "i should've known you'd do something this reckless. i don't want to play with you when you're involved, tch..." like a child his head was thrown to the side. bomb-b could barely stand to look at dorian westcliff, "now f it were just that girl and that blue-haired punk, i'm sure i would've had a blast." a brief pause from bomb-b had been given, he'd examine the little gal from head-to-toe as if eyeing a dinner plate.

[break][break]

"change of plans: i wanted to save this for later, but i was asked to speed this game of mine up. well, whatever, as long as i get to blow some shit up and have fun that's all that matters, right?" he'd wink toward Ruby Walker. he'd begin to play upon the phone, and with the quick press of a button, there was a sudden buzzing-like noise heard from the intercom. this was neither a screech nor a static, but a sound that hid a subliminal activation.

[break][break]

it was like a whispering decibel, except it could barely be heard by humans all too well. the sound was still capable of being heard, but more louder for a pokemon rather than a human. this sound was just at the right blare, perfection crafted for a pokemon's sense of hearing. THIS NOISE WOULD MAKE ALL THE POKEMON IN THE AREA FEEL QUEASY, but what played on the intercom wasn't for them; it was for the golurk. "let me give you a taste of what rocket remnant's been workin' on." a maniacal smile had been worn, "you should all count yourselves lucky to be the first to witness this new power, a new discovery OUR BELOVED GENIUS created: PROJECT RE."

[break][break]

the golurk began to glow a bright red color. his body bathing in blood red light, "'re' is short for "RECONSTRUCTIVE EVOLUTION"! it's no mega evolution, but we've modified our pokemon to embody power that's close to it. and with great power comes a great cost, an evolution where there is no point of return. of course not every pokemon may survive the procedure, but those who do harbor nanites within them." in the evolutionary cocoon of red light golurk's body could be seen reshaping, "when activated by 'THE SIGNAL' the biology of their hosts enforces evolution that will mutate their forms and repurpose their genes. granting them grotesque physical features and greater power at the cost of their life." the golurk became larger than the average, its form reducing and adding new features. "they'll fight until their new form burns away their life."

[break][break]

[break]

NOTE: CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A FULL VIEW OF GOLURK'S NEW FORM!

[break][break]

standing ten feet tall, the golurk's new form radiated a fearsome energy that would induce a brief INTIMIDATION TO ALL POKEMON CURRENTLY ON THE FIELD. bomb-b merrily pounced up and down on one leg and then onto the other, sticking his tongue out. "let's have an explosive battle, come at us! i can assure you it won't be easy, but with a little motivation~" he'd wave one of the two devices he wielded in the palm of his hands. the device teasingly shown looked like a controller that would also serve as a detonator, but his other device, THE CELLPHONE shouldn't go ignored either.

[break][break]

though their original task was to head down below, it would seem that a more important task has greeted the group. with the DISCOVERY OF NEW INFOMRATION ON ROCKET REMNANT and THE BOSS APPEARING, their situation grew urgent. how would dorian westcliff's group handle this?

[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]GUIDELINES

[break][break]

below are several guidelines and notes you must follow and consider for the mission event. please pm LIGHT if you have any other questions. these guidelines will be trimmed or omitted for future mod posts in this event.
[break][break]

tag: Jet O'Haire , dorian westcliff , Ruby Walker
if you go over 200 WORDS please include a TL;DR for ALL POST.
please try to post for every round of posting. if you miss a few rounds of posting, that is no issue. however, depending on the mod post, the mod may determine what happens to your character should you miss the round.
missing too many rounds will result in lesser rewards or no rewards.
summary: the boss has shown himself and he doesn't want you lot heading for those bombs. a screeching noise was made from the intercoms to hinder you all before jumping into the hole. another noise, this time a signal-like sound, has caused the golurk to access a strange power embedded into its body; this power was created through pokemon experimentation, a possible hint to a future rocket remnant! this experimentation has allowed the golurk to transition into a new strange form. the boss has gone on a long, villain-like spiel. the boss taunts dorian westcliff and has his eyes set on the little gal toy Ruby Walker. he sees Jet O'Haire as some random punk and doesn't pay much attention to him.
for this round: please refrain from double posting! one post per person!! when ready, please tag light on discord or cadis von klaussner in this thread.

"oh come now. you mustn't be modest. i'm not some villainous pker." was he here to, just like the others, "catch a body". what a fun term that was. mai was okay with being killed, it did earn one an achievement. "when i died i actually had this strange badge pop over my head." she'd gesture the size of it. "anyway, it was pretty exciting. i felt like a gleeful child opening a surprise present." he'd drop his sticks upon clasping his hands together.

cheeks became showered in pink as he was smitten by the act of death, and rewarded for it! "don't be so modest that you feel the need to hide your skills!" one should never underestimate anyone in this world, cadis learned that the hard way. should this person try to kill him, well, at least it was expected. "i'm sure the person who murdered possibly received something as well, huh..." so he'd ask, a hand placed atop of his bosoms, "would you like to..." rosy cheeks hid behind raven hair, "kill me...?"

"oh, i was recently just murdered!" she stated with a ball of energy. "it was by a strange little dwarf. he was quite bloodthirsty, i wonder if most of the players in this game are." the dying part was pretty fun. upon gathering twigs and small pieces of wood to prepare for the fire, she'd turn to face the man, "well i'm certain you're an expert at the game. you'll protect me won't you? you seem to know enough." was there any sign of her getting better at this?

there was hope, but then again video games were still a new concept to cadis. where did priam go? nobody knows. "if only i knew how to send a message i'd force my partner to return." oh, he just remembered, "he was also wearing a weird...geodude costume..."

this was clearly a mistake. what was the reason for his being here? it helped neither of them, "well, shit."

with a deep breath she'd clasp her hands together. "so, funny story, that friend of mine is a mage." and he was long, "his attention span isn't the greatest. he's growing, but it's taking sometime." looking around she'd search for kindling, "let's just gather some twigs and sticks and see what we can do. maybe the skill will pop up if we try." a simple shrug indicating that it was worth a shot.
