Why were gym leaders talking with such authority? It wasn't like they were elected officials.[break][break]

As her irritation erodes, something else emerged to draw her fury. , in all her stupidity, had the audacity to elude to the inability of the League to handle Ultra Beasts.[break][break]

When she was standing in the room with the one person that had consistently fought them and survived. Guzzlord had been an apex. All other Ultra Beasts? They were capable of being defeated. They were manageable.[break][break]

The Elite Four would not have been able to save if they were insurmountable. She had defeated her fair share.[break][break]

“Dumbass,” was what she breathed too quiet to be heard, unable to imagine how someone who had never put their life on the line could sit back and say things that were blatantly wrong.[break][break]

Still, she had already aired her grievances, only to have some react as if she had been angry and irrational in her statements, when they were the ones cold-faced at the sight of a man being devoured; the image of blood stained to teeth still present in her memory from where it had been plastered on projector walls.[break][break]

And even then? Her only protest had been to the fact that these invaders were so driven to desperation that they opted to each people.[break][break]

That was valid.[break][break]

Her eyes strayed to , looking equally baffled as to why could have these grand speeches when the conduct of a single council member— —had been enough to make him denounce the League in its entirety. Imagine that.[break][break]

She mouthed “Have fun,” and felt tempted to reach for a flask.[break][break]

And the minute she was out of this room, there would be no more polite pretenses from her.

At the moment, Alexei let the noise wash over him, discreetly pulling out his phone again and this time sending some more text messages to the people that really mattered to him—he wondered where Miss Isra was in this meeting, considering that she was working for one of the Councilmen.

That’s strange… he thought with a sigh, before looking up and seeing…

Well, well, the ‘deserter’ (as he privately called Balder in the back of his head) had shown up. Balder had chosen to waltz in right and dandy, bringing in something.

Footage from…from wherever they’d headed out to. Blinking, he looked up and felt his attention wavering, but hung onto every word.

Well, that was the plan, at least until—

When the mention of someone getting… eaten… came up, his normal complexion turned from pale to outright paper-white as he saw the carnage play out on screen.

The rest of the words washed over him in a sea of sound—he couldn’t erase the sight of those weird-skinned humans eating… eating actual human… flesh, as a form of sustenance. Now he had second thoughts about blue-skinned people. They were really scary.

He didn’t know he was freaking out until a loud crashing noise thudded onto the table where he was seated.

Alexei had fucking passed out from the shock of the contents of the video. Yikes.


Welp he fainted.

Skyler’s look was not missed, of course. Much as he wanted to panic like the rest of them, all he did was roll his shoulders before leaning back against the wall where he rested. Wondering if anyone else was going to mind, he reached into the inside pocket of his overcoat and pulled out the thin pipe.

It had been a while since he had a good smoke. Now here’s to hoping the room didn’t have a smoke alarm or some sort of shit like that.

Giving another knowing look before tilting his head towards the door, he reached for the small pouch of vanilla-scented leaves, stuffed in a handful, before lighting it and taking a drag.

Looks like they were going to be here for a while—and even though he wanted to speak up about what had gone down so far (he didn’t even flinch at the graphic nature of the video that was shown) he could only sigh minutely as he exhaled a thin stream of smoke.

Honestly, why can’t everyone come to an agreement on something so we can get our shit together and start shoring up our defenses? he thought. Lars really wanted to say something about the situation at hand, but decided to continue gathering information—because he was going to have to break the bad news to all the other Rangers once the meeting was over (Orion, Stormy, and Kyle aside).

Speaking of Orion…

Lars then fished out his phone with his other hand before sending a text message, inquiring if he was free for a private conversation after this shit show of a meeting concluded.

[attr="class","runrunpost"]

selena’s face flushes with a similar hue to her hair color. with all the confidence she gathers just to make a mistake with one trivial point in her case—at least has dragged the monologue further—with only scoffing at her momentary idiocy.[break][break]

she watches them give her a scrutinizing look and returns their gazes with an even scathing one when they stand silent when asked of an alternative. most of the things these people suggest are what selena thought as common sense. of course, they need to evacuate people, build strong forts, mobilize rank and file officers, defend the region, pray to arceus. it’s not a plan. it’s survival instincts.[break][break]

and here she thought invited them to make a plan.[break][break]

she takes this moment to consider. and to reconsider. is their issue about semantics? because as far as selena’s concerned, even she knows this peace talk has the slimmest of chance to succeed. she’s not deaf to the concerns raised because the gore painted at the screen proves the dangers awaiting. but this gives them opportunity to gather intel, to buy time, to gain advantage when there’s none.[break][break]

she admits she could have worded her reasons with much clarity. much energy has been spent fighting unnecessary fights even as they watch one of their comrades being served to their potential adversaries. a heavy sigh leaves her mouth, the rubbing of temples is deemed necessary after watching others do the same.[break][break]

she retires herself from any more conversation with the ‘hoenn's best and brightest,’ but a determined pair of sapphire orbs focus from 's, then 's, before giving each a nod.[break][break]

whatever their plans are, selena’s in.[break][break]

Kim, chuckling under his breath as he endlessly typed away at his laptop, actually enjoys the clown show that has been going on before him. It was amusing to see everyone try to honk their horn louder than the last guy, and the lack of progress made with the current convention was a good rest for him- only adding the necessary bits of information to his notes rather than that unneeded filler that had been stirring about the room.

It was only when spoke up that he began to get back into his work, mulling over his own thoughts as he mixed them with others' inputs. Alongside Remiel’s own argument, Kim had finally come to a conclusion, the words coming to him after a few seconds of thought.

“I agree with diplomacy.” He states with a minor pause, looking to the room, then continues further into his words. “But that does not mean I agree that this should be our only tactic.”

“Thinking from their point of view, the cause for this invasion is to conquer, they don’t care about talking, they simply want to colonize for the betterment of themselves. Alongside this they're bringing along some of the most threatening beings they have at their disposal, a measure of which we have no counter to.”

He rubs the underside of his jaw not fully sure of the right action to take, but muses nonetheless.

“It’s a longshot at working, but diplomacy might just be the best option we have here. Think about it, we fight them, and hypothetically, we win, but they have the tactical advantage of this not being their home turf. They lose this fight, then they return to a land already ravaged by their first attack, us too weak to fight another battle. They win, we lose, that's that. We need to at least try to come to a peaceful understanding with these people in order to ensure we have a life for our people to live in the future.”

Amber eyes scanned the room, eyeing every individual present as he spoke, his voice authoritative in its tone as his words echoed to the crowd.

“For this diplomatic act I suggest myself to take the helm alongside Remiel if he so chooses to continue bullheading his way into such a situation.”

“Though in order for this pipe dream to come true, we’ll need one of few branches to bend to our will. My suggestions are either we make our move during the invasion- considering the fact that I don’t think it possible to open a hole directly to these people to talk beforehand- or we beat them and force surrender though brute force. I’m open to any other options if people have them though.”

He paused for a moment to look to his notes, biting his lip for a moment.

“But before anything we should absolutely prioritize keeping our people safe in this case of invasion. As has said, a central location is the best bet for us, Mauville being one of our best locations to keep as many people as we can. We can’t keep the entire population of Hoenn in one city though, so I suggest other cities and settlements surrounding Mt. Chimney such as Lavaridge, Verdanturf, and Fallarbour. I also suggest we set up settlements in more inland locations like along the outskirts of the desert and possibly Fortree. Adding onto what had suggested, we get as many people out of Hoenn as possible, as quickly as we can, these cities suggested will be a safe haven for those who remain.”

Clasping his hands together, he looks around the room once more before releasing them into a shrug.

“Or we can just say fuck it and bumrush aliens like a swarm of durants defending their home, I’m cool with that too.”

He honks with a smile.

It is a brief gesture; and a rare one for him, at that. But the dark-haired royal can't help but roll his eyes at the number of haughty and flustered people in the room. Apparently, he seemed to attract that kind of element: fast-talkers, short-thinkers. Was it so hard to comprehend that they had enough manpower to make all their aforementioned precautions for the people of Hoenn and send a small team to communicate with the intruders? A plan like this naturally needed layers. He hadn't quit weighing his options in his mind since the debriefing had ended himself.[break][break]

Regardless of the fact, Remiel ignored the muttered quips and subtle looks as he reached over to pick up his cup of tea. He stopped, however, when hit the table. Pausing for a moment, to see whether anyone else had noticed or was doing anything about it, the young ambassador eventually sighed and set his cup of tea back down before rising from his seat. Alexei was a good friend of Isra, after all. He'd also come to respect the gym leader's prowess in battle.[break][break]

Upon reaching him, the prince gently pulled the man back into an upright position on his seat, carefully tilting his head back to keep his airway open. A pulse check and a light pat of the cheek to try and wake him up was all Remiel offered after that, for the time being. In the meantime, there was one thing he cared to address: "Wars are not simply won on a single front. Dealing with one within our own ranks, however, spells disaster." He calmly states, opening Alexei's eyelid to check the dilation of his pupils. Why he was giving advice to, essentially, an enemy organization, he wasn't sure of himself.[break][break]

But, amusingly, considering he was firmly entrenched in both factions, Remiel Calcifet still thought of himself as an independent faction of his own. On top of that, there wasn't much to gain from sabotaging this effort against the mysterious Megalopolans. At least, nothing quite yet.[break][break]

"I am in accordance with most that has been proposed, and it is evident that we will each have a part to play in every avenue we designate to overcome this endeavor. That being said, I fail to understand why this council cannot agree to distribute its forces accordingly." He straightens in posture, removing his hand from Alexei's face as he looks at them all.[break][break]

"You will have your Galarian reinforcements to help evacuate, fortify, and fight. I also offer my assistance as Zekrom's avatar to Hoenn's head researchers as well. Perhaps there may yet be a way to deactivate the Megalopolan's ability to create portals." He'd been thinking about such a possibility before, and he'd formed an idea after becoming an avatar. 's mention of it brought it to the forefront of the conversation.[break][break]

Moving to stand behind Alexei's seat, he grips the back of the chair firmly with both hands before continuing. His nonchalant eyes now remain fixed on the screen instead of them, however.  "We must do everything in our power currently to prevent these savages from expanding their reach to the rest of the world. It is why I am so insistent about extending some form of communication while we have the chance. " He shifts his blue-grey eyes to . She's been rather quiet lately.

PLOT THREAD
SET BEFORE WAR OF WORLDS
ENDS SEPTEMBER 2ND, 11:59PM PST



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qfv44x8Joa1yrg70yo1.mp3[/player][break][break]

WAR TACTICS


AS THE LEAGUE'S REPRESENTATIVES discuss the next course of action, the commissioner is silent. with her chin pinched between her fingers, she weighs each idea.[break][break][break]

in response to relocation and evacuation, draws herself to and 's suggestions. she decides that MAUVILLE will be a central stronghold for evacuation, while additional settlements around MT. CHIMNEY, LAVARIDGE, VERDANTURF, and FALLARBOR will be designated. she asks for assistance in this regard, requesting the rangers with help in this regard.[break][break][break]

in response to , states that the aforementioned places will also be locations for treating the injured; however, closer stations will exist to the warfronts that will occur. however, some cities may need to be abandoned, should the war come to them. next, transport to other regions will also be arranged for citizens desiring to flee the borders of hoenn, as suggested by the others, including .[break][break][break]

nevertheless, evacuated cities, especially ones near the coastline will be fortified and reinforced. understanding ' concern for those stubborn enough not to leave, says rangers, cadets, and reinforcements from galar thanks to 's connections, will be stationed with their pokemon. furthermore, she extends gratitude to for her dedication to the cause, despite her withdrawal from a gym leader position.[break][break][break]

coming off the worries of ' worry of where the aliens will attack, references 's assumption. "IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT THEIR ASSAULT WILL BE MULTI-PRONGED. WE HAVE SEARCH PATROLS CONDUCTING INVESTIGATIONS AS WE SPEAK."[break][break][break]

NEGOTIATIONS


AFTER 'S OUTPOUR OF INFORMATION, the commissioner thanks him. despite the man's denouncement of the league, she does not actively antagonize him. however, a call for medical assistance is made by intercom to assist with the fainted .[break][break][break]

at the mention of negotiation, 's face cringes with concern. and look unsure at 's suggestion, despite the compliments. although the two will ultimately refuse, a team of negotiators seems to have been assembled: , , , and possibly, councilman .[break][break][break]

however, she smiles. 's proclamation of being zekrom's avatar brings her peace. she nods in approval, "I AM SO GRATEFUL TO YOU... FOR GALAR'S SUPPORT."[break][break][break]

in the coming days, should they attempt to approach the megalopolan's camp near lilycove, they will be immediately attacked by STAKATAKA CUBES, ones similar to the ones , , , and experienced in Ultra Megalopolis. 's thought that information can be gleamed from such a maneuver comes true.[break][break][break]

the negotiating team sees large black trammels, siphoning energy from caves and mountainsides: places rich with mineral deposits (and perhaps, mega stones). furthermore, they would be able to gleam that these aliens do not use pokeballs, or have any device similar to that of one.[break][break][break]

should your character not have embarked on this negotiation mission in mid-september, please let know, and he'll remove the character from the list above.
[break][break][break]

CHAMPIONSHIP


AS INQUIRES about the vacant elite four seat, the commissioner gestures to the kalosian man. "WHY NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF, THOMAS? YOU'VE DEMONSTRATED COUNTLESS TIMES, YOUR CAPABILITIES. I READ REPORTS OF YOU MASTERFULLY COMMANDING YOUR HYDREIGON AND ITS Z-MOVE, SOMETHING NEVER BEFORE SEEN." she continues, unaware of the generosity of her speech, "YOUR HEALING OF THE WOUNDED SAVED MANY POKEMON, THOMAS. THE LEAGUE HAS MUCH TO THANK YOU." her outpouring of compliments comes from pink lips, a blushing face. she sighs, hoping to inspire the man despite his solemnity here.[break][break][break]

when accepts the offer instead of , the commissioner smiles fondly. the echo of their meeting after the mossdeep fight rings warmly in her ears. her eyes quickly search for 's, desiring deeply for her to forge the confidence she believes resides inside of her.[break][break][break]

"WELL THEN! IT'S SETTLED. CONGRATULATIONS, BAILEY COOPER, OUR NEW CHAMPION!" she claps her hands: a moment of celebration under the tense yellow of looming war and tapu koko light. "AFTER THE MEETING, I'LL QUICKLY ORIENT YOU TO THE DUTIES OF CHAMPION. YOU'LL BE FANTASTIC. AFTER A BRIEF ROUND OF PR TRAINING..."[break][break][break]

as the TAPU KOKO begins to emit brighter light, 's eyes glide toward knowingly. a subtle movement, hidden by the intense illumination of a legendary boasting its power.[break][break][break]

TAPU KOKO


THE TAPU KOKO SCOURS THE TABLE, its stare scathing and critical. however, once mentions the deity's name, the guardian seems drawn to her. her inquisitive nature reflects the pokemon's own, and as it expels a bolt of electricity, it crowns her as its avatar.[break][break][break]

[break]
[attr="class","chosen"]YOU ARE WORTHY
[attr="class","chosen2"]
tapu koko has chosen selena, the inquisitve, as their avatar.[break]
[break][break][break]

receives the following perks:
[break]

  • selena receives 10 infamy.
  • selena can call upon a special ELECTRIC TERRAIN at any time, without using a pokemon.
  • this special ELECTRIC TERRAIN can also BRIEFLY STUN creatures caught within it, and REVEALS THE LOCATION OF ANY HIDDEN/INVISIBLE/SEMI-INVULNERABLE CREATURES within its field (scope of field determined by the moderator).
  • selena herself can use tapu koko's boons to give herself the ability, SURGE SURFER. not only does she BECOME FASTER in her own ELECTRIC TERRAIN, she can "SURF" ACROSS THE FIELD to reach places quickly.
  • feel free to add tapu koko to your party and choose its moves like a gachapon pokemon.
[break][break][break]

when is bestowed tapu koko's power, only , with his special eyes, will be able to see an invisible energy pouring out from hoenn's island deity. it fills her silhouette, outlining her in a special aura: one that every single avatar in the room would possess as well.[break][break]

when the meeting concludes, and after her orientation with , she seeks privately. with his notes, documents each and every single avatar present— underlining each name on his paper in red ink.[break][break][break]

While the Kalosian remained silent, he continued to take in everything going on in the room. All of the information, and all of the bickering. Personally, Thomas was dead set on evacuating anyone who couldn't fight, while anyone who was willing and able to fight would remain behind. As much as he hated to potentially risk their lives, they would make their own choices. But he was going to train them in the time they had between the evacuations, and the slated invasion.

As Balder stepped into the room, Thomas' eye widened in surprise. After his disappearance, the Gym Leader worried about him. The last time the two saw one another, he had heard Balder's side of the story, as to why he turned his back on the League, and Olivia. Indeed, Olivia's presence in the upper echelons of Hoenn's League was a worrying prospect, given his research into her family's background. The fact that they headed a cult in Sinnoh, and had historical connections to Hoenn, made him seriously question her motives. Compound that with the AQUA Initiative being her brainchild, and Thomas had his eye on her.

He certainly trusted Balder far more than Olivia at this point.

Balder would share some disturbing insights into the invaders, and their dietary needs. Given his experiences over the years, Thomas' reaction to what he saw remained subdued. Still, it only made the need to put a stop to these invaders all the more important. He wouldn't be surprised if they attempted to commandeer the vessels carrying the non-combatants away from Hoenn for an easy, if very short term food source.

"As soon as we can evacuate the cities of all but combatants, I'd like to suggest training those stationed in key areas in urban, guerrilla warfare.", Thomas called out. "If our previous encounters with these Ultra Beasts are of any indication, we're going to be dealing with some heavy firepower on their end. So we're going to need to take every advantage we can in this battle, to be ready to fight as dirty as possible. That means getting to know where we're stationed, and using any and every possible advantage that can be squeezed out of every nook and cranny of them.", Thomas finally spoke up, his grim expression remaining.

As Dahlia proposed that he join the Elite 4 in place of Bailey, Thomas' expression turned to that of a different kind of shock. Was she being serious? Even with all he had done, he doubted that he was worthy of such a title. But then, if she really thought that much of him, then who was he to reject her offer?

"Commissioner, I..", he tried to start, before pausing. "If this is truly what you believe is best for Hoenn, then who am I to question your judgment?", Thomas asked rhetorically, practically offering his acceptance.

Lars blinked at what had just happened, considering that the other legendary he’d encountered previously had chosen… well, well, what do you know.

His eyes narrowed ever so slightly as the Alolan deity approached the pink-haired Gym Leader from Lilycove and just like that, bam, chose her as its representative. He blinked for a few moments because holy shit, the burst of light from the deity was so bright it was capable of scorching eye balls.

Once the little show was over, he let out a minute sigh, because he knew he had to break the bad news to all the other Rangers that weren’t present at this meeting.

It would prove to be a challenge to get ahold of everyone, not to mention having them convene—

Looking at Thomas’s promotion, he grinned and nodded in the former Gym Leader’s direction. “Congrats on the leg up,” he said with a cheeky grin on his face. He then took another drag, before fishing out his phone and sending out a mass message to all the Rangers that he knew and had actual contact with—to come meet in Verdanturf, at his place, in a few days’ time.

Some were familiar with the location; others were not—but in due time he would send out the coordinates, and advise them to come prepared.

Turning to Skyler, he then tilted his head before motioning towards the door in invitation. Finding her number, he sent her a quick message as well before nodding slightly in her direction. It would be up to her if she would accept the invitation or not, but holy shit they needed to talk about this shit and drink while they were at it.

Dread pooled in her stomach at the idea that Lilycove would have to be abandoned. She understood the logic, but there was some streak of stubborness within her that rose up at the notion; Skyler knew that she'd have to be dragged away from Lilycove kicking and screaming. There was no way she'd abandon her city without at least a struggle.

But that was her own problem, so Skyler kept her mouth shut and acknowledged Dahlia's words with a serious nod. A new champion was chosen and a new Elite Four rose up to join the ranks of those who already stood in the room.

Skyler inhaled deeply, watching the proceedings with the air of someone who would like to be anywhere else. Her foot beat a restless rhythm on the ground. The sigh of relief that escaped her when the legendary chose the pink-haired woman, Lilycove's gym leader if Skyler was not mistaken, was almost audible. 

Grotesque images were still playing in her mind when she noticed the shift by her side, turning her head to see Lars motioning for the door. One corner of her lips quirked up in a faint smile and by the time she replied to the text, she was already moving towards the door. 

Skyler hadn't asked to be a part of... this. But she was glad she'd been able to attend. There was... a lot to think about.

But first she needed some drinks.

when everyone is released from the meeting, noah snaps over to . he offers congratulations, a hearty pat on the back. with a laugh, he asks him to take some pressure off of and — for challenges keep flying their way ever since the seats began to rotate.

with a bashful scratch of his neck, noah finally gets to the point: "hey, thomas. if you don't mind, could i move my gym over into yours in verdanturf?"

he recalls their old dojo days as they blend more colorfully into ones of the present.

"it'd make things a bit easier for me— and i think it'd make the transition easier for you. what do ya say?"

eventually, noah leaves. despite plans for the future, such scheduling falls through the sift of uncertainty: grains too small for a net to catch.
