BLEED


POSTDORMITUM CARGO



THE MOMENT THE SCATTER BANG ACTIVATES, fernando makes a clear run for it. one leg gives under another while driblets of blood mark his escape path. he can barely hear himself breath due to his ears still ringing from the blast.

his AMBIPOM is not as lucky. the pokemon has no qualms with acting out, relishing in its NASTY PLOT. the only issue is that there are too many opponents. these random weapons worked will on nomi and her ORANGURU but that doesn’t quite deem true for her SYLVEON.

the PSYCHIC blast knocks him clear off the crate and onto the floor where fernando once was. it steadies itself with its split tail before sneaking behind the crates in an attempt to get closer.

behind it, fernando unleashes another pokemon. one that causes the whole cavern the tremble as it burrows underground.

POSTDORMITUM



ANYWHERE ELSE? the TEDDIURSA wouldn’t be able to reach TALONFLAME. it would just fly upward to evade the FURY SWIPES and rain fire on the grounded creature. but in ULTRA SPACE, the rules of physics don’t apply. both claws rake through the pokemon’s feathers as it seeks to match the gesture with its talons. a show of ACROBATICS cranes its peak to dig into the bear’s face and incapacitate it.

the DODRIO heads fall asleep just as they reach mint. a miraculous ‘saved by the bell’. but when all the faces start to snooze, the first one to fall asleep (who did before the others) shakes its head awake. of the many ways to incapacitate a DODRIO, sleeping such an EARLY BIRD rarely works out.

there’s a reason they wake up all of kanto every morning.

fernando says nothing more as his pokemon comes in to attack. its ENDEAVOR looks to pin mint with its sharp talons while prying the pack off his back.

SINK YOUR FANGS


POSTDORMITUM CLASH MISSION



FERNANDO CAN BARELY JUGGLE HIMSELF ATOP HIS DODRIO. his best move is to flee. gain some distance, regroup his forces, and press forward with overwhelming strength. as long as his opponent cannot get within striking distance, he’ll trounce them thoroughly.

but to that requires getting the NIDOKING off them.

REUNICLUS!

a reckless slap of his palm against his buttocks mashes the capture mechanism of his pokeball. he intends to bring out the squishy psychic type to deal with the NIDOKING but it’s already channeling its Z-MOVE by the time the pokemon surfaces. all this does is put the pokemon between them as the GIGAVOLT HAVOC strikes.

the gelatinous like membrane of the pokemon starts to boil as the electricity course through its body. the viscous tissue bubbles, boiling, as the pokemon starts to pop like a well heated kettle. splats of gel erupt.

and that’s just to the first one struck.

fernando and his DODRIO are hardly spared. at such close range, the attack, mitigated by the bodily shield of his now dead REUNICLUS, only dampens the near lethal output. the second hand energy and explosive power of the attack still shocks them, hurtling both back with fernando being dismounted off his DODRIO.

ugh.

he can feel his weight work against him, landing on his back against the hard stone floor. his dodrio trips over its own legs too, held together by a surprising STICKY BLOB. the trigger of its flight-or-fight response urges the pokemon to ignore how much damage it’s taken and to struggle to break free. the three heads peck recklessly at the gooey substance, self mutilating its thin legs in the process.

anything to get free.

but quickly gets up, too triggered by its fight-or-flight response to recognize how much damage it’s actually taken.

his GLALIE on the other hand thoroughly clamps down on the pokemon, threatening the pierce bone and cartilage alike until the TOXAPEX is snatch away by its pokeball. by the time this happens, it recognize the disparity between its own battle and fernando’s.

with newfound urgency, the pokemon returns to his side, channeling a SHEER COLD until it gets close enough to throw itself at the NIDOKING. when it enters the pokemon’s proximity, ice explodes out in all directions. whether it hits doesn’t matter, the slow and defiant spread of frost creates a thick wall between both parties. just enough for them to escape but threatening enough to eliminate anyone caught inside.

THOSE FAKE TEARS EARN NO SYMPATHY FROM THE DODRIO. instead, the pokemon rushes past the TEDDIURSA and straight for mint. mid-trot, one of the heads fall asleep from the earlier YAWN but two of them are still conscious albeit doozy.

yah!

a swift kick to the side riles the middle head into pecking itself. the ACUPRESSURE of blow is enough to numb the pokemon’s muscles into a certain stiffness, preventing the last head from relaxing. not the best way to stave off SLEEP but sufficient for now.

his TALONFLAME flanks from behind mint. its AGILITY allows it to catch up, therefore pincering the rocket between fernando and his birds.

THE TALONFLAME FLINCHES WHEN THE NIGHTSHADE CONNECTS. its speed it cut by the impact, flames diminished as it tries to utilize its ACROBATICS to steady itself. GALE WINGS settles down as it look for a more opportune moment to attack.

his DODRIO charges undetered by the TEDDIURSA’s YAWN. the pokemon’s breakneck speeds cuts the distance almost immediately as both side heads rear around to lash out with a DRILL PECK.

BLADES OF GLORY


HONED FROM THE BLUNTEST SHARPENER



THE LACK OF FOLLOW UP GRANTS THE HEATRAN THE TIME IT NEEDS TO CORRECT ITSELF. upright, on its back, the pokemon was resorting to flailing around until it could flip itself over. prime time to strike at its underside, should someone prove brave enough to get past the MAGMA STORM.

now, that opportunity is gone. but the HEATRAN seems to take a bit longer to turn to face its opponent. its back legs look like they’re straining right before it launches a mortar like LAVA PLUME at the ARCANINE.

POSTDORMITUM CLASH MISSION



THE NIDOKING CATCHES HIM BY SURPRISE. when the ground erupts, the pokemon nearly skewers him outright. however, the reason for his stopping was to climb his newly summoned DODRIO. the clumping of bodies prevents the pokemon from a clean pierce, instead, launching him back in more of a tackle while his pokemon suffers the bulk of the attack.

two large bodies crossing against each other results in the NIDOKING’s horn grazing past thick feathers and leaving a long cut against its flesh. more focused on retaliating than anything else, one of the heads responds with an aggravated DRILL PECK.

the other flails around in pain, suffering as the main central nervous system, while the dullest sticks its head out to PLUCK at fernando. it pulls him closer, desperate hands looking to cling to any of the pokemon’s three elongated necks.

they land backwards and the head clumsily forces him aboard.


when the BLIZZARD faces resistance, it takes a moment for the GLALIE to realize the ICY WIND is a similar attack. once it recognizes that, it immediately stops, facing the wind outright. these elements, do little to the ice solid pokemon, granting it a chance to home in on the source.

with surprising quickness, it launches itself like a torpedo, looking to CRUNCH into the TOXAPEX with its huge jaws.

POSTDORMITUM CLASH MISSION



FERNANDO WAITS FOR HIS GLALIE TO COMMIT TO THE BLIZZARD. once the howling winds obscure their position, he immediate starts to move. for his survival is paramount for their win. to let their opponent know where to target is an advantage he will not afford him, all the while ignorant that his attempts may be thwarted by the burrower underground.

the SCALD manages to slice a small hole in the BLIZZARD. it strikes with a stinging burn against the glalie’s frozen exterior. freeze burn blue starts to form but the pokemon ignores the pain. if anything the BLIZZARD only intensifies, the cool air mending the otherwise stinging burn.

underground, fernando’s footsteps would come to a stop, only to be joined with two small yet heavier hooves.

PIKACHU SURPRISED


LEFT GASPING FOR AIR



PULLING THE MEOWSCARADA WON’T BE ENOUGH TO DROP AGGRO. both pokemon pursue their target with visceral violence. claws and nails look for flesh as they work in tandem to hunt down their prey. even when the FLOWER TRICK berates them with numerous cuts and blows, neither give up.

hunting in the wild has never been a gentle exchange of blows. prey fight back. and the most cornered prove the most tenacious. which is why gentle, domesticated battles like these prove child’s play for even fernando’s least trained pokemon.

he remains silent throughout the battle. he observes, still, but offers no input. just his attention.

eventually, it ends with his loss. what his pokemon have in instinct they lack in raw battle knowledge. faced against an unknown pokemon, how could they realize the FAIRY TYPE advantage both inherently hold. if not for small factors like that, then perhaps the battle could have slanted otherwise.

satisfied,” he asks after returning them to rest.

GOODBYE


mission



HE HAS NO TEARS FOR THE FALLEN. their lives are given, not for grief, but to pass on their burden. their will, legacy, and dying breath, rests on those who survive. that is the unspoken promise made between him and his ‘allies’. people or pokemon, friends or pawns, there is no distinction in that regard.

a proper chess match requires countless sacrifices for the king to win.

his trek to mount pyre has become less frequent since TAPU FINI’s death. there’s no point in visiting now that the souls refuse to consult with him. only on principle, does he visit the fresh graves of pokemon and officers who have fallen in the line of duty. that much, he can give them.

from a distance, fernando observes someone mourn. he says nothing, giving them the personal space to grief in peace. but here, alone at night, his shadow scales with the radiance of the moon.

looming and ever clear.

CONNIVING CONUNDRUM


social



THE GYM DOORS OPEN ON THEIR OWN ACCORD SHORTLY AFTER. the front desk, and by extension the gym, is no stranger to visitors. josh is given the standard introduction and welcome that any would be challenger would receive. a brief wait and accommodations are used to buy time until the receptionist motions him down the hall to fernando’s offices.

inside, fernando is at his desk. contrary to how many will find him at his league office, his desk is seat level. his single eye is closed, face wrinkled in deep contemplation, as he casually types away. his fingers move with a dexterity that’s long memorized the keys and their position.

the rest of his office seems blatantly minimalist. no color on the walls. far from any decorations. only a single desk, some chairs for visitors, and several electronic devices and pokeballs strewn across his desk.

CONFRONTING THE INEVITABLE


SLATEPORT GYM BATTLE



THE GROUND TREMBLES UNDER THE RHYDON’S BULLDOZE. such unstable footing discourages the ZARUDE from approaching further. instead, it leaps into the air, hands together as an ENERGY BALL manifests. the great ape’s hang time is impressive considering the lack of forest of foliage, still mid-air when the attack actually launches.

likewise, the GYARADOS escapes the UMBREON’s reach. the BULLDOZE causes the pokemon to stumble, so it too refrains from moving further. it stands in place, sigils glowing, as a CONFUSE RAY erupts underneath the GYARADOS in an attempt to blind and CONFUSE it.

“BATTLE ROUTINE SET!”

fernando’s voice can be heard from any distance. here, in the void of ULTRA SEA, it seems to go on without an end. a resonate decree. a promise of what’s to come.

execute!

the burning embers of his TALONFLAME’s FLAME CHARGE peek through the INTERDREAM MIST as it cuts through the gas with impunity. what its fighting, isn’t quite clear, but the distance between it and mint starts to decrease at an alarming rate.

drio!

above, a DODRIO leaps from within the mist. all three of its heads rotate in a constant circle as it starts to descend. aboard it is hoenn’s most iconic councilman. in an unfortunate twist of fate, they just to happen to be facing mint’s direction.

and all it takes is for that one good eye to make contact.

HM.

fernando says nothing but his eyes do not betray him. the illusions of the INTERDREAM ZONE often pull from those within its confines. this is not always the case but it has become a frequent enough precedence that he notices the trend.

none of these pokemon or figures mean anything to him. which means they’re stinted from ollie or the rare happenstance of something whimsical.

a single eye narrows in on the ranger but fernando returns his fainted FERROTHORN.

indeed.

DANGEROUS DISTRACTIONS


ZERO TO A HUNDRED MISSION



FERNANDO SERVES AS AUDIENCE TO DEREK’S TINTED PERSPECTIVE. he does little to interject but mulls each sentence as a picture is painted. indeed, each person has their agenda, their own hazy line to toe of what is ‘right’ and ‘righteous’.

but it is him who holds the stamp of approval.

quite the assumption,” he laments. “but the alternative, to assist in someone’s revenge, is hardly something i expect other to risks their lives for.

his eye narrows.

and that aligns with what i know of vestri, dross, and anderson. nautica would expect compensation while anderson is danger adverse when it comes to his precious rangers.

a click of his tongue dashes the soft implication he picks up from derek’s proposition.

you will find the league unwilling to assist you with your ‘preventative’ measure when the regis have yet to act outside of their domain. after all, it was us who intruded on their habitats. much like you intend to do now.

his desk drawer opens and his fingers wrap around a hidden object.

but, if you’re adamant about this, i may be able to point you in the right direction.
