[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Pretty soon the ocean floor would be spotless.[break][break]

Perhaps this was by design. Everyone searching for treasure was unwittingly cleaning up various junk clinging to the ocean bed, thinking these shining baubles more than just the average item. And if they were lucky, maybe they'd actually find a Clamperl down here for a change.[break][break]

It was starting to feel a little helpless though.[break][break]

MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)

[attr="class","adrianwt"]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]After calling it for the afternoon and hitting up the snack bar, Adrian eventually finds himself drawn back to the allure of Mantine Surfing. Even though it's nothing like skateboarding, he's convinced he should have a knack for it. Hopefully this time would be different.[break][break]

The familiar sensation of being drawn into the trough of the wave overtakes him, as they begin to roll into the crest...[break][break]

One more shot and he'd go see what they had at the snack bar. He remembered last year's Poppin' Pachirisu Float quite fondly, hoping it would make a return on the menu this year. Besides, this Mantine deserved a break after trying so hard.[break][break]

M.A.G.M.A BOND ANALYSIS 1

POSTED ON Jul 29, 2022 11:12:22 GMT

jayden cross and Ceri Glynn like this

[nospaces]

[attr="class","adrianwt"]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]

I. CORRELATIONS BETWEEN BOND AND EVOLUTION

[break]

"...Anecdotal evidence suggests the bond between pokemon and their trainer impacts growth and development positively. Research supports this thesis; certain species (e.g. Alolan Meowth, Golbat and Riolu) can only undergo evolutionary adaptation while under specific stimuli which, unlike pokemon tethered to any of the fundamental affinities, would appear to stem from their closest familial attachments. Absent of this stimuli, many of these species will never evolve, even under extreme duress (the common denominator).[break][break]

In the case of Mega Evolution, there is a similar consensus. Historically it has been suggested that pokemon require a strong bond in order to undergo this temporary transformation, despite evidence to the contrary. Whether the nature or depth of this bond is of importance, or whether external factors (e.g. Ultra Wormhole radiation) are affecting this process, remains open to debate. And yet the aforementioned species clearly cannot undergo evolution spontaneously despite sharing an environment.[break][break]

Do we conclude then that mega evolution requires no such bond? Do we cast doubt on popular belief? The answer is never so clear.[break][break]

What if the bond itself is not the missing factor, but simply a trigger mechanism for a more obviously organic process? As with more recent developments, we have discovered the presence of POKeRUS in anomalic pokemon specimen. What if a similar hormone or compound were responsible for inciting these developments in pokemon? What if its presence was simply a spontaneous mutation? May we safely assume pokemon mutate at different rates?[break][break]

Then what if Ultra Wormhole radiation can disturb the latent material in fully developed species because of their relative genomic stasis? Whereas unevolved specimens exhibit DNA that is highly active and tolerant to change due to already being in a state of progressive flux, perhaps we may determine that matured species are uniquely predisposed towards reacting to this radioactive stimuli due to the considerably more static nature of their genetic material.[break][break]

Could we then reasonably conclude that the presence of a bond has substantive impact, while also concluding why species are able to spontaneously undergo mega evolution without the presence of such a bond? And can we then hypothesize that the BOND has a direct influence on the adaptation of genetic material within any given pokemon, and that marked growth is not just the result of a placebo effect?[break][break]

Could we then more directly influence these developments, aspiring to the level of genetic manipulations, using not conventional science—but the emotional manipulation of such specimen? Further studies are required.[break][break]

But the data seems to suggest it is feasible."[break][break]

Adrian flips through the pages in a sort of disbelieving stupor, but he manages to memorize most of the contents. It's something to keep him busy while he awaits his 'appointment' in the Rocket Lab with a... Ceri Glynn.[break][break]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Maybe most of the Clamperl were locked out of Hoenn.[break][break]

Or they were nestled towards Pacifidlog Town more than around Slateport beach, but that wouldn't deter Adrian from trying time and time again. Not with the promise of reward on the line, not to mention the chance to add another Clamperl to the collection.[break][break]

Accompanied by his Starmie, Adrian was able to scour the sunless depths with relative clarity of vision. He hoped it would help him find that special something, though at the very least he could be at peace in the knowledge that nothing could sneak up on him while Starmie was there.[break][break]

He spots a metallic glint in the distance and pursues it...[break][break]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]When Adrian recovers from his latest wipeout, he mashes a balled fist against his leg, though whether this ritual is simply an act of self-deprication or something to help settle his nerves is unknown. In either event, his frustration is evident.[break][break]

Maybe he didn't have a knack for this after all. He'd idle for some time, waiting for a proper wave or perhaps considering calling it quits when his Mantine pipes up in concern. Yeah, alright.[break][break]

They head for the next wave determined to succeed.[break][break]

[attr=class,bulk][break]"We're not leaving." What would be the point in quitting this place?[break][break]

It seemed their world was fated for ruin; if it did not fall to this calamity, then another would soon take up its mantle. No sooner did they dare hope, than did another reckoning take up the charge. But Adrian would never so willingly resign himself to this end.[break][break]

"We've only lost if we give up." Yet Adrian does not yet see a way out of this dire situation. And no sooner does he speak the words, than does he feel his wrist aching as pain shoots up his arm, his face twisting with a sudden anguished gasp. Klefki...[break][break]

By some reflex Adrian manages to stymie the attack, sapping a modicum of vital essence and enfeebling the turncloak Klefki. After seeing the culprit and understanding the tainted nature of these creatures, Adrian sheds its vise grip by rendering his arm momentarily impervious. Howitzer's intuition serves him well as she SNARLS, emboldened by his DARK AURA, forcibly denying the Klefki's aggression.
He takes a moment to recover, but the pain offers clarity in purpose. Shadow pokemon are their enemies...[break][break]

Yveltal's cautionary counsel had fallen on deaf ears.[break][break]

But that is not to say that more cannot be done to right these wrongs. From its aerial vantage, Yveltal is keen to the sudden turnabout, and is able to maneuver for a well deserved SUCKER PUNCH to help keep the rising Necrozma from breaking its bonds.[break][break]

From his position it may seem hopeless, but Adrian is not without his resources. A carefully cultivated collection with HIDDEN POWER ebbs and flows from the spatial anomalies all around them. Though they muster but a meager force on their own, together they exercise an exponentially cumulative power which he invokes.[break][break]

A thousand eyes and one,[break]
A thousand mouths but gone;[break]
A thousand lies yet none,[break]
A thousand sooths undone.

"We've got to help where we can," is all he manages to tell Rowan Wrynn while trying to determine where they should be headed next. His eyes try to isolate Martín del Mar's AURA, hoping to utilize his talents as they had once before.[break][break]
