Her house stunk to high heaven.

So did, unfortunately, the whole street.

Skyler grunted with effort as she worked on the pipes under her sink. At first she'd thought it a passing thing, but when the foul smell didn't abate (it had grown worse eventually), she'd decided to take matters into her hands and take a look at some of her pipes. They'd looked somewhat clean, given that they were - well - pipes.

It hadn't been until she'd been elbows deep in tools and dirty water that she'd remembered to check the street outside for the smell - and surprise, surprise, it hadn't been only her house after all.

With a last wrench, she made sure the pipes were in place before she stalked her way to the nearest sewer entrance. Luckily, it was fairly close to her house so she didn't need to wonder where the smell was actually coming from. Maybe there was a blockage somewhere? Sometimes pokémon shoved themselves into the sewers. At any other time, Skyler would let professionals handle it, but-

The smell made her want to retch. It was that bad.

She covered the lower half of her face with her arm and pried open the sewer cover, almost gagging at the smell that came out of the tunnel. She used a flashlight to peer into the hole, leaning in and trying not to vomit.

Anyone passing by would see Skyler with her ass up in the air, halfway into a sewer entrance.

no one could know. she had came upon lilycove by mistake, in a small simple boat made of an ancient polished driftwood. it had been used in years past as a vessel for holy pilgrimage. now, it bore the weight of the doubtful faithful - uncertain, at the very least. her core beliefs had been shaken like a bellow from the fiendish ground devil of yore.

she sped through the sewers as a blur of silver in a tsunami of muddy water. she was wrapped in a bubble of protection, a wartortle tucked underneath her arm as a barboach controller the sewage water. somewhere in the back of her mind olivia was are of the consequences of traveling via the sewers would have on the city; but frankly, she did not care. she had to repair her shoddy sea vessel and get going.

olivia didn’t even notice the beam of light coming from above as she and her pokémon sped by. for even if she had be seen; she would be unrecognizable as the former council woman. her wild silver hair fell well past her shoulders and new tattoos now adorned her face, along with the customary dressings of her clan. this was not the put together image hoenn had come to know or fear.

+ wartortle used protect!
+ barboach used muddy water!

The flashlight's reach was just enough to see the bottom of the tunnel where the filth was being washed away. Skyler squinted her eyes, leaning down to hide from the glare of the sun outside. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light, but she still couldn't see any blockage. Shit, that meant that she'd have to actually drag herself down into the sewers.

Just great.

The sailor grabbed onto the flashlight with her teeth and was beginning her descent when a sound coming from the sewer tunnels made her shift her eyes downwards. She only had the time to see a person - surfing through the sewers wrapped in a bubble? - flash by before everything was cast in darkness again.

For a couple of seconds, Skyler's brain worked overtime in order to prossess what she'd just seen. The next second, she'd jumped the rest of the way down, grunting when the impact with the wet ground rattled her knees. She called forth Polaris and Davy Jones, her Starmie and Sobble. "Get 'em!" She started running with the Sobble on her shoulders and Starmie zooming ahead.

"Hey, wait up!" Her voice echoed through the tunnels, but Skyler wasn't sure it'd reached the person ahead. "Polaris, surf!"

A wave of putrid water slowly rose ahead of her, heading for whoever was in front of them. Skyler winced, thinking that maybe that particular move hadn't been the best idea. She didn't actually want to hurt anyone, but maybe flushing them out wouldn't be a terrible idea.

she heard the cries and calls of her purser, but they were soon drowned out by the familiar call of the sea - waves crashing upon one another. what a fool they were to think they could touch the mistress of the oceans. she who watched the waves from the dusk to dawn. as the surf battered down on the orb of protection, olivia and tyche worked in tandem as the shield broke the wartortle acted as a surfboard for olivia whose barefeet kept balance atop his sturdy shell.

a powerful hydro pump blasted the trio forward and out of reach of the surf, aided by the continuous muddy water to propel them further along. olivia was a master of water sports; surfing among her favorites, even when surfing in the sewers of lilycove. she had recovered enough material to repair her simple vessel to its seaworthy state. now, she just had to not be seen or caught.

+ wartortle used hydro pump!
+ barboach used muddy water!

The wave made its way through the tunnels, but found no purchase on the target Skyler had been aiming for. Instead, when the tidal wave of garbage lost its strength and crashed against the walls of the sewers, it revealed bright white hair and tan skin and - was the woman riding a wartortle like a surf board?

That was awesome.

Her muscles were starting to burn with the effort, but Skyler welcomed the familiar sensation. Countless hours spent swimming and sailing had given her a strong physique and the sailor made use of that fact now, forcing her legs to keep pace with the fugitive.

And yet.

Skyler grit her teeth in frustration when the woman kept getting further and further away despite the blonde's efforts. She was invested in this chase now - there was no way she was going to give up without a fight.

"Polaris, shove the Wartortle to the side. Davy, use Bind on the woman if she gets close."

The Starmie's center jewel flashed briefly and Skyler felt her ears pop as a glow lined the Wartortle's profile, the PSYCHIC taking control of the water type's body to try and shove him against the tunnel wall. Hopefully that would send the woman flying - hopefully.

The Sobble, in the meanwhile, was getting ready to wrap the human in its tail.

+ starmie used PSYCHIC

+ sobble used (will use?) BIND

it was a rookie mistake, one made often by trainers and challengers of her gym - something olivia had learned to take advantage of. in fact, it was something she had watched FERNANDO SILPH do. a strategy of sorts, an unspoken command. olivia made a subtle gesture, digging her heel into tyoche's shell and turning clockwise as her purser barked orders. there was no way anyone would catch her - especially with her path out of the sewer within sight.

an opaque light suddenly surrounded the wartortle, like a thin film of grease over water - the protection negating any effect the blast of psychic energy may have had. olivia whistled, it was high pitched and echoed throughout the sewer as the muddy water from earlier began to lose momentum. she seamlessly was launched forth from the ground with her wartortle and into the air - as the structure of the sewers began to shake and tremble from the magnitude of thoe's attack.

+ wartortle used protect!
+ barboach used magnitude!
