NOTES
THIS THREAD IS SET AFTER THE FOLLOWING EVENTS:[break][break]
[break][break]
furthermore, this
particular thread is set in the middle of september, while the
war of the worlds raid is icly set toward the end of september. by this time,
Remiel Calcifet and
Bailey Cooper have become avatars. a summary-conclusion post will be coming shortly for
"BAD BLOOD".[break][break][break]
EVERGRANDE CITY
THE COMMISSIONER CALLS for an emergency meeting; attendance is not mandatory, but heavily encouraged. those unable to attend due to the abrupt summons would be briefed later in secret, for the contents of this assembly must not be leaked yet.[break][break][break]
many are invited. head scientists, the council, elite four, gym leaders, and those who have worked in the organization as the aforementioned roles in the past. in particular, the galarian ambassador,
Remiel Calcifet, and a professional diver from lilycove city,
skyler dross, has been invited as well. lastly, unbeknownst to everyone else, the invitation delivered to
Lucas Lane is specific, almost demanded.[break][break]
[break][break]
they would be summoned to evergrande city; although slateport city may be the most convenient, the secrecy shrouding the contents of this meeting force the location to be more remote. inside the evergrande league headquarters, in a high floor,
dahlia goode waits. her stoutland greets those who enter the room, wet snout occasionally bumping against hand and leg. the conference room is spacious— but cast in dim lighting. the wide windows shut the sunlight out with metal paneling.[break][break][break]
EMERGENCY MEETING
DAHLIA THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING IN SUCH SHORT NOTICE. a bodyguard leaves the room, locking and closing the door. behind the commissioner, a screen is swathed in blue: a presentation waiting initiation. once everyone is seated and attentive—god only knows how long that would take—she taps her laptop's touchpad.[break][break][break]
an aerial photo of islands off of lilycove's coast appears.[break][break][break]
dahlia gestures to
skyler dross, should she be present, but if not— she would still say,
"CAPTAIN DROSS HAS WITNESSED AN ULTRA WORMHOLE OPENING OFF THE LILYCOVE COAST, CLOSE TO A SERIES OF UNINHABITED ISLANDS. SAILING HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. WEATHER HAS BEEN ERRATIC, AND WE BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE OF WORMHOLE ACTIVITY."[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
she continues, transitioning between images. eventually, she stops at another photo, clearly zoomed in from a far distance, for artifacts mar the clarity. on one of the islands, the attendees see what appears to be a war camp. otherworldly pokemon and oddly-suited, pale-skinned men and woman fill the ranks.[break][break][break]
"WE HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE. HOWEVER," dahlia taps her laptop once more,
"THEY SEEM TO HAVE COME FROM WORMHOLES. NEXT, THEY SEEM TO POSSESS AN INCREDIBLE ARSENAL OF ULTRA BEASTS— AND HAVE BEEN GATHERING LOCAL FAUNA TOO. WITHOUT THE USE OF POKEBALLS." she frowns, cradling her hand as if nursing a wound.
"FURTHER INTEL SUGGESTS THEIR MOVEMENTS ARE PREPARING THEM FOR AN ATTACK AGAINST HOENN IN A FEW WEEKS. WE NEED TO ACT SWIFTLY. EVACUATE CIVILIANS, PREPARE CADETS AND RANGERS... WAR MANEUVERS, IN OTHER WORDS. I WILL BE ASKING Remiel Calcifet'S HELP IN REQUESTING REINFORCEMENTS FROM GALAR."[break][break][break]
PROVISIONAL CHAMPION
SHE LOOKS TO KYLE AND BAILEY, a smile on her face despite engravings of concern.[break][break][break]
"I BELIEVE IN TIMES LIKE THESE, WE NEED TO ANOINT A PROVISIONAL CHAMPION. BAILEY. KYLE. FLIP A COIN, PERHAPS. ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. I WOULD LIKE ONE OF YOU TO FILL THE SEAT DURING WARTIME." dahlia extends both of her hands toward the unlikely two before looking toward
Stormy Silph, should she be present.
"ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO CONSIDER YOU TOO, STORMY, SENIORITY OVERRIDES." however, such a confession is a farce. to have someone with a corporate name like silph assuming such a position concerns her. after all, representatives from
DEVON CORP., SILPH CO., and BENOIT ARMAMENTS already fill many seats.[break][break][break]
she awaits their decision. when one accepts the position (or perhaps, they both decline),
dahlia goode will say they will orient them to the position immediately after their assembly.[break][break][break]
TAPU KOKO
AFTERWARD, DAHLIA PULLS OUT A POKEBALL. she clicks it open, and a red bolt manifests into a dramatic orange plume. the room glows with yellow light as a
TAPU KOKO hovers above their conference table.[break][break][break]
"HOENN'S TAPU KOKO WANTS TO LEND ITS HELP TO US." the commissioner says,
"IT WANTS TO DEFEND OUR MANY ISLANDS— AND WANTS A CONDUIT FOR ITS POWERS." the electric deity scans across the room, stern eyes honed sharp like a blade.[break][break][break]
hidden behind the stark luminosity of the pokemon, dahlia looks on intensely.[break][break][break]
