Dark pulse colliding against the mountainside registered as thunder to her ears—a deep and reverberating noise, followed by a dull ringing that refused to dissipate. Bailey Cooper had clutched her hands to her head when she rolled into the nest, and had kept herself low like a solider hiding in a ditch.[break][break]

Small bits of rock and pebbles showered over her, bouncing off the lichen and the moistness of the moss.[break][break]

When she stood, she was considerate to not disturb the eggs that were nestled in the center. “Hah! Missed me!” Her confidence was short lived, and the moment that jeer left her lips, Bailey registered the sight of the Mandibuzz flying close with its legs extended.[break][break]

Oh god. The talons. “Nonono—not the face!” She shielded her face in anticipation of the attack.[break][break]

But it never came.[break][break]

She heard an oink. It was the cry that she had been following, now undisturbed by distance. Her eyes snapped open.[break][break]

Thunder registered twice, but the second strike came much stronger than the first.[break][break]

All Bailey saw was the red light—a beam with an intensity that it made her body tense. For once, an attack like that had not been pointed in her direction, and when her eyes closed, the afterimage of its strength lingered like a scar upon the retinas.[break][break]

When she turned her head, the last thing she expected to see was a Spoink. The little bouncing savior was just above her, and its attack had sliced so cleanly through the fog that she was able to make out its features.[break][break]

Was it sick? And what was wrong with its pearl?[break][break]

“Hey, wait a minute!” Bailey would shout as the psychic pokemon bounced out of her sight. “At least—” exhaustion made her hands feel heavy as she latched them to the walls, “—let me have a chance to say thanks!”[break][break]

Cuts were invigorated as she put pressure against them. The last few feet of the climb were the most excruciating as she left the nest and the traumatized Mandibuzz behind her. Some people would have called it a day. Not many people would go out of their way for the sound of a pokemon crying in a graveyard.[break][break]

But she could never ignore pokemon. Not even the wild ones.[break][break]

When Bailey mounted the lip of the precipice, she crawled. Every breath burned in her lungs, and the jelly-like feeling that had consumed her legs made her wonder if she could even stand upright.[break][break]

Mid-pant, Bailey did the only thing she could think to do to keep the Spoink from retreating—she had come all this way, and she'd be damned if all of this labor and all of this harm had been done for nothing.[break][break]

Her backpack slid from her shoulders, and from it, she retrieved the only thing she had brought with her.[break][break]

A granola bar. It was supposed to be her lunch.[break][break]

“C'mere,” and she peeled back the wrapper, exposing the honey and oat goodness as she extended it outward.[break][break]

She ate the deformed heart—even if it had looked messy, chocolate was still chocolate.[break][break]

“I've gotten close, but the chocolate dries so fast I have to be quick about pouring it,” and the sight of the chocolate chips told her to turn the burner back on, but to a medium setting.[break][break]

The water was still warm from her multiple attempts. it would only take a minute to get it back to a low boil.[break][break]

“I think having two sets of hands will do wonders, thanks,” Bailey would say as she'd tilt her head, just to get a glance at the recipe on Isra's phone. “I think I would've been trapped here all night.” Or she would have just given up, and left her mess for someone else to clean up.[break][break]

They just had to wait for the water to boil. Bailey knew better than to watch, and would reach for a new metal bowl for the chips to be dumped into. “So, who do you work for?” because that question had been nagging at her. “I know I've seen you around a few times.”

She could taste cinnamon in the air—it lingered like the smell of blood, but somehow more warm and comforting.[break][break]

“Nope, nothing,” and Bailey Cooper reached towards an unconscious Appletun, peeling off the top, flaky crust of the pokemon to take a bite—she had skipped lunch in their rush to find the Wooloos.[break][break]

She bit into the confection, and it tasted delicious.[break][break]

“I feel like it's been fricken years,” and her Decidueye served as their scout, traveling through the use of Phantom Force in enemy territory.[break][break]

She watched the skies, waiting for her ghost flier to return to them.

She frowned.[break][break]

That article continued to shadow her, and it was no surprise that it would be brought up eventually; yet, did it really have to be used to tease her? Fernando Silph had cast bait, and she was the Magikarp that lacked the restraint to ignore it. [break][break]

“Ha. Ha. Real fuckin' funny... like you wouldn't do the same,” and her eyebrow gave a twitch, betrayed inner frustrations at the thought of the photo and the... the pocopper fanbase. [break][break]

"I'd do anything to soil that little story," and make a few fans cry, if she were lucky.[break][break]

But there was more to it than that—there was a serious consideration that had been taken into how she appeared, and that knowledge chewed at her with an embarrassed anxiety, like she feared that someone would discover that she was actually trying. She just had to wait for the right person to come along.[break][break]

She was moving on—moving to bigger and better things, and to a Bailey Cooper that would be better than ever. Or so she told herself, as one hand crumpled a napkin.[break][break]

At times like this, she thought it'd be nice to surrender to an unseen legendary pokemon and let it handle all of her problems.[break][break]

“Saw you have a little smooch earlier. Tell me, how was that?” She had only seen it because the people at the adjacent table had gasped and could not refrain from gossip.[break][break]

She tapped her lip. “Still got a smudge of lipstick on you.” A lie.

Tabbytha inspected her claws.[break][break]

Without Clawby to keep her company, the female Meowstic looked lost—she gravitated from one pokemon to the next, unsure of herself without the guidance of her partner. Maybe that was why her trainer had decided to leave this assignment to her—it was a chance to force her out of her shell and to interact with others.[break][break]

And it was uncomfortable.[break][break]

There was no miraculous revelation—no sudden change in mood—as Tabbytha continued with her work. Using psychic, she would help to move aside the rumble for the building crew.[break][break]

But, maybe at the end of it all, she felt a hint of satisfaction knowing that the Night Market was just a tiny bit cleaner... and that Bailey was eager to scratch her behind the ears for a job well done.

For some reason, one of Lucas Lane's off-handed comments reemerged in her mind.[break][break]

Kyle Lopez did not fuck his dogs—she knew that to be a fact, but the corners of her lips pulled upward at their mention, and she had to internally kick herself to stay mature and to not find humor in the remarks of the League Head Scientist. Of all the things to say, why say that?[break][break]

Bailey Cooper was no scientist, and figured that she would never think like one.[break][break]

“Same twenty 'mons, huh? Uh oh, let me get my garchomps ready,” and while Bailey Cooper joked about the frequent usage of the land shark, she envied the fact that she had yet to capture one for herself—they looked sick.[break][break]

She made a spinning motion with her finger—a gesture that her Gliscor understood; she spun in a similar fashion, deploying swords dance as Kyle reached for his pokemon of choice.[break][break]

And this would have been the point where Bailey would have dipped into something angry—something to sour her mood and to whet her focus.[break][break]

Obstagoon changed that. “Yoooo, what the hell if that?!”[break][break]

“Is that one of those galar pokemon? What the hell, Lopez?! He looks sick,” and she would fumble for her phone, just to snap a quick picture of the pokemon that she had never seen.[break][break]

Gliscor would turn to stare at her with disbelief. “Oh, right, fuck.” They were in a fight.

“What? No, Frogger totally works.”[break][break]

She would take a small sip of her water, seeming to engage with the conversation as it switched to a topic she rarely spoke about: pokemon nicknames. “Like, I get it, it's cool to give your pokemon the badass name, but...” her finger would dance against the rim of the glass, “is that always what they want? Plenty of pokemon love the silly names, especially if it's what you pick—they don't always want a legit name.”[break][break]

A nickname was just that—a nickname. It could be silly. It could be goofy.[break][break]

“Well, I guess some pokemon might, but I haven't met any—shit, my Hitmonchan still wants to be called Punchy. I named him that when I was eight, when he was a Tyrogue.”[break][break]

Chubs would smile at her observation, as if it conjured fond memories that the Spheal wished he could travel back to.[break][break]

Or he was happy because Bailey scooted the small bowl of chocolate candies in his direction; there was one situated in the middle of every table, and the red foil had to be pealed away to show the chocolate heart inside.

“uhh...”[break][break]

That was an excellent question.[break][break]

Bailey Cooper could only scratch her cheek, accepting in the truth in Isra's question—she probably did have the stove turned up too high. “Guess I was getting really impatient—I've been trying to temper chocolate for like, an hour,” and that task was far harder than it seemed. Getting chocolate to just the right temperature so that it would have a perfectly smooth finish when cooled was... a nightmare.[break][break]

“Every time I walk away from the stove to see how it comes out, it's like I got to start all over again,” and she would hold up one of her confections, just to show the dullness to the sheen of the chocolate.[break][break]

It was malformed, just to add insult to injury.

“I got two of 'em just recently,” and she retrieved her cellphone from her purse, just to quickly turn through her recent photos.[break][break]

When she flashed the phone to him, it was the image of her holding up a Sandaconda as if it were a shotgun—both nostrils pointed to the camera, both trainer and pokemon bearing a cocky expression. “I caught this sucker the other week. I think it's... like, what? A Galarian.... Ekans?”[break][break]

No. No it was not.[break][break]

“He's cute. I haven't picked a name for him yet,” and that was for the best, because her nicknames were awful.

Bailey had to be careful as she hoisted the Spheal into her arms, cradling him as if he were a child as she started to move towards the next table. It was no surprise. After all of the food that he had gorged himself on, she had sensed that a nap was coming, and the ice-type pokemon was more than eager to melt into her embrace. “Yeah, I feel the same, buddy,” and she envied his ability to relax in any situation.[break][break]

He had no worries, and she could feel a tinge of envy as she wiped a smudge of chocolate from the Spheal's face. “Little shit,” but it was said with affection.[break][break]

The next table was waiting, and that was when she spotted another familiar face.[break][break]

She could not hide her surprise as she took her seat, positioning Chubs so he could rest atop her lap. “Uhhh, I didn't think this would be your kind of scene.”[break][break]

That statement also applied to herself, but she tried to ignore how foreign she felt in this setting—or how strange it felt to be in this current attire.[break][break]

If an Ultra Beast attacked the venue, this dress would be ruined, and that went to show how much the situation in Hoenn had changed her. She loved this fucking dress, and she had only found two opportunities in the last year to wear it.

[break][break]Her fall was cushioned by the dogpile—until persephone amavi descended through the hole and landed right on top of her.[break][break]

“Ooof!” With all of the air driven from her body, Bailey Cooper wheezed like an abused chew toy, and she rolled off from their makeshift pile. When her body hit the ground, it felt solid, and she could take the chance to cough and try to recuperate from having the air knocked out of her.[break][break]

“Happy to see you too, Lopez,” and the Elite Four member had to refrain from curling into a ball to cradle her stomach—not a good look when she was surrounded by her two colleagues. “The fuck does it look like we're doing? Your text message wasn't very subtle—we're saving Mateo, right? ...Right?”[break][break]

Unless Kyle just decided to jump through a wormhole for the fuck of it.[break][break]

She rolled onto her knees and picked herself up from the ground, finally having the chance to look at the distorted space that these creatures come from—or, at least, one of the possible places. “We weren't gonna let you have all the fun,” and she tried to sound sardonic.[break][break]

This was where these ultra beasts came from—and, oddly enough, it didn't look too different from where they had come from. This was not a distorted, alien landscape. There were trees and a sky overhead, and she could have mistaken this for a place like Johto.[break][break]

Until her eyes swept in the direction of the bell, and she saw a swarm of those unfamiliar creatures... and a person? Fighting against them?[break][break]

They looked like paper constructs, and it just served as a reminder that these things were not the pokemon that she was familiar with. Was there such a thing as a paper-type pokemon? Not in their dimension, sure, but in this fucked up one?[break][break]

“Shit.” Her hand went to her waist, feeling for one of her pokeballs—where was Bumbo? On her waist or in her bag? “Never seen these ones before,” but she prayed that size was indicative of power as she chucked her pokeball to join in Kyle's assault—[break][break]

And it was her Blaziken, not her Darmanitan.[break][break]

Whatever. Still a fire-type.[break][break]

“What move was that, Lopez?” Because Dark Void had been unfamiliar to her, but she understood the gist. “Hawkin, Bulk Up and get on the defense,” and the Blaziken would raise up his hand, creating a thin, reflective sheet that was suspended, ready to copy an oncoming attack; mirror move.[break][break]

As that was being prepared, she managed to find the proper pokeball, and deployed Bumbo.[break][break]

The two fire-types would stand at the ready, adopting defensive stances. Bumbo would raise up his fists and let them be engulfed in flames, preparing fire punch for anything that charged—he knew to replicate Hawkin's behavior.[break][break]

“They'll hold the line.”[break][break]

tldr: bailey deployed darmanitan and blaziken, ordering them to stay on the defense so people can dive in. darmanitan has prepared fire punch, blaziken has prepared mirror move and has used bulk up.

Bar crawling never ended like this. It never ended somewhere so clean.[break][break]

When Bailey Cooper awoke, she was not greeted to the stale yet familiar smell of a motel room. She breathed and smelt fabric softener, and felt linen sheets tangle around her limbs as she contorted her body from its selfish spread—sleeping alone had its benefits, and she had extended her limbs to every far corner to seek the most comfort.[break][break]

It was a level of comfort that she wanted to selfishly covet, but her morning needs refused to let her rest.[break][break]

When she moved, Bailey felt the familiar pang of a hangover manifest. It was not as sharp or as vicious as it could have been, and the newly-dubbed Sergeant was thankful that she had the sense to pop a few aspirin in her blacked out state. Drunk Cooper had learned to be kind to her sober counterpart, and as she sat up in the empty bed, she looked at a television that had been left to run throughout the night.[break][break]

“What the..?” Where was she?[break][break]

When her eyes swept down, they were met with the sight of her wrinkled uniform. She had fallen asleep without changing, and her nicely ironed dress shirt had been marred by creases that had undone her efforts to look nice and tidy. Her dress jacket and slacks were sprawled out on the floor without a care, if only because that would have been uncomfortable.[break][break]

It was the sight of blue that caused her memories to resurface. The ceremony. The bar. The drive. This was Fernando's place.[break][break]

“Fuck,” and the anxiety in her stomach was only eased by the fact that she had slept alone, and not with company. Some boundaries had not been crossed, and she thanked an unseen deity for that stroke of luck.[break][break]

In the early morning, she trekked barefoot through his house, trying to not make a sound.[break][break]

Bailey passed through the living room, avoiding the couch and the sleeping figure of the councilman with as much care as she could muster—what was she supposed to do? Slip out of the house before he woke up? The thought of the conversation that would emerge from their night was too awkward to fathom.[break][break]

But she was fucking starving.[break][break]

The kitchen was her destination, and Bailey went to search through the fridge like a famished Greedent.[break][break]

She wretched open the door... and stared into its depressing, almost empty state.[break][break]

“What the fuck?” Why was there barely anything in his fridge? Did he even live here? “Is he a plant? Does he fucking live off sunlight?” She rooted through the contents, shoving aside bottles of water as she tried to seek something of actual substance—nothing. Nothing that she would want to eat.[break][break]

In her desperation, Bailey went to the sleek and modern cabinets. Too short to properly raid through their contents, she had to get up onto the counter-top, sitting on her knees as she tried to find something.[break][break]

Her search made her overlook the sound of a pokeball releasing a pokemon, and the sight of a Kecleon wandering into the kitchen to search through the fridge that she had left open.[break][break]

“Where's the fucking—oh thank god, he does drink coffee,” and she pulled out the coffee grounds from a high shelf.
