“Yes.”
[break][break]
had asked, and Katherine provided the answer. She doesn’t hesitate, nor does she need a moment before her answer is given: she knows that this is right. She knows that no ‘moral code’ is enough to deter her from doing this. If protecting the region involved harming a civilian, then she was willing to pay the price.
[break][break]
She would kill ten more Adrians before she’d let something of this power and magnitude escape. If the titan wasn’t truly gone, then she had to ensure that her next encounter against it wouldn’t end the way that this one had.
[break][break]
She nearly died.
[break][break]
One of her pokemon did, and even Nihilego was defeated.
[break][break]
”If you continue to resist, I can’t assure you that my pokemon won’t hurt you.” Well, technically, that was already a lie. She knew the truth: they would hurt him. Adrian brought it upon himself, didn’t he?
[break][break]
Besides, as far as she knew, he was very much still a stranger. A suspect. ’ mist made it impossible to recognize anyone inside the fog. She welcomed that, however, if only because not knowing who she was acting against made it easier. He might as well be a Megalopolan, because he was going to be treated as such.
[break][break]
He is a criminal.
[break][break]
Once more, Katherine’s Dragapult escaped into a PHANTOM FORCE portal to evade the disorientating lights, following the path it had set based on NOISE and SOUND alone. Its INFESTATION continues to harm the Starmie, as does the lingering burn of the WILL O WISP.
[break][break]
When it reemerges, another tackle is executed before it attempts to pry the rock away, utilizing its THIEF move in the process.
[break][break]
notes: [break][break]
- dragapult attacks with yet another PHANTOM FORCE, making its way to adrian / starmie thanks to the loud sounds of its INFESTATION.[break]
- both INFESTATION and the BURN from WILL O WISP are active (?)[break]
- upon arriving, the dragon aims to tackle (PHANTOM FORCE) whoever it's closest to before using THIEF to steal the shard.[break]
- they are relying on the mist/lights to confuse everyone else while it INFILTRATES. the shard will be secured by the league. period.[break]

[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

The younger ranger fears he can't be much help immediately. Having entered in a later than the others, but it doesn't stop him from trying. For now all he could do is brace himself for the ice that hits due to Anderson. There is an almost familiar anger inside him building up by the shit the two are pulling on the civilian. [break][break]

Though at least now the mist was clearly up and it was easier to see where they needed to be. With a few whistles Buzzwole continues flying on it's way toward . Once the dragon comes out of it's portal the Ultra Beast would attempt an ICE PUNCH to keep the dragapult away from taking what they had grabbed. Razz would jump from Buzzwole to stand between the league problem and their target. [break][break]

Due to 's METAL SOUND from the unfamiliar creature Razz doesn't entirely made out what was said. Though to him it doesn't matter. "I don't care for your reasoning you're not in the right here," he would growl at the offenders, eyes going toward the figure he believes is lars. [break][break]

"Anderson, my Gallade sacrificed itself for me to help you, and this is the bullshit you start?" yes Razz is still very angry about that. The younger ranger wanted to believe in his boss but with this two against one bullshit, "Stand down now, or is the character my pokemon believed you to be just a farce?"

DANGEROUS DISCOVERIES RAID
SETTING: MID-DECEMBER



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qlvgdm1RxI1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player][break][break]


TRUE PATH




OBSTACLES LEFT BEHIND BY THE ICE AVATAR are dislodged by the starmie’s RAPID SPIN. the constant outpour of ILLUMINATION starts to dwindle as the pokemon’s stamina is depleted. wicked BURNS and an ongoing INFESTATION gnaw well past their toll. its red gem starts to blink alarmingly.

[break][break][break]

[break]

subtle signs are drowned out by the ear splitting METAL SOUND from lar’s silvally. the terrible sound causes those nearby to cringe but adrian’s grip means steadfast around his precious treasure. unlike the head ranger, there are no voices in his head.

[break][break]

the EXECUTIONER will find that his benefactor has no stakes in this gamble. it cares not for the squabble between men. perhaps this is why it shows such little impact on its avatar’s life well until the events of team rocket’s EXCURSION. however, just because it does not voice an opinion does not mean it does not observe. SHINIGAMI EYES bear witness, etched into yveltal’s memory.

[break][break]

the slipper INFILTRATOR delves back into its PHANTOM FORCE only to pilfer a finishing blow. it throws itself head first into knocking the starmie flat onto the floor, FAINTED. it moves in to steal the remnant by force as razz’s buzzswole tries to catch up to interject.

[break][break]

having to navigate between the ILLUMINATE and SPOTLIGHT versus bypass it with PHANTOM FORCE means the pokemon is too late to deter it. razz and his pokemon end up between everyone except the dragapult, who menacingly lurks nearby. ethereal talons look to pry the rock away when it comes to life with an electrifying zap.

[break][break]

the REGIROCK REMNANT hums with new life, pointed toward the forcefield and starting to siphon off its energy. the flow of power becomes visible to all. at the very top of the barrier, dozens of meter above, it starts to break apart. the crawl is slow but with time, they will be freed.

[break][break]

despite the remnant remaining clutched between his arms, debris from their battle start to congregate in front of him. new life gives form to the titan’s second coming, albeit smaller and more incline to what will be designated as the regirock’s regular size (more inline with the pokedex entry).

[break][break][break]

[break]

like building blocks, each piece is pulled into a greater mass, glued together by the cement of DYNERGY emanating from his portion. adrian can feel the power surge toward the titan, actively feeding what feels like another life force back into his emerging construct.

[break][break]

across the battlefield, skyler will see hers react accordingly. it also peels away at the barrier but no regirock forms underneath her tutelage.

[break][break]

katherine, who is the farthest from any particular side of the barrier, has her piece quiver within her grasp. like a compass, it aims not at the forcefield around them, but in adrian’s direction, namely the piece that begins to rebuild the once destroyed regirock.

[break][break]

with the mist and starmie off the field, as well as the burst of DYNERGY pushing the dragapult back, razz’s buzzswole has a clear shot at laying an ICE PUNCH on the offending dragon.







TEMPLE RULES



THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS have been applied. This will pertain to certain routes, moves, Pokemon, and characters as applicable. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. [break][break][break]

  • TELEPORT will not work. PSYCHIC and other PSYCHIC TYPE attacks will be less effective.
  • Having TWO POKEMON out at a time will cause the Pokemon that has been out longer to be returned. They will suffer damage as a penalty.
  • 's TELEPORTATION will have a ONE POST cooldown that increases every time she uses it.
  • ' METAGROSS is no longer under the effect of MAGNET RISE.



[attr="class","reward2"]WHAT WILL YOU DO?





INSTRUCTIONS


ENSURE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE RULES which are posted below. Remember to refer to the sign up page for more details.[break][break][break]

  • Each REGIROCK REMNMANT has an optional prompt listed. You may decide amongst each other OOCLY how to divvy out the rewards. Should you be unable to come to an agreement, you may battle for it ICLY. The effects and results of your combat actions will be MODERATED.
  • You may fight someone who is not listed in your prompt. However, they will have a distinct advantage due to their IC proximity. Chances are they will have the item in their possession and you must effectively STEAL it from them. This will prove much more difficult than contesting those listed in your prompt.
  • If you decide who will keep the REGIROCK REMNANT OOCLY, you may skip out of posting on this round. If everyone decides OOCLY we will skip to the conclusion.


DEADLINE TO CONTEST ICLY: 11/04 11:59PM CST.

 "you can't honestly believe you're on the right side of—" he began to croak back at katherine, only to be interrupted by the jarring sensation of an odd frequency projected at him.

perhaps their spree of malfeasance had urged in him an impulse that the remnant had played upon. or they had been right to fear what lied within the rock's seeming dormancy. as the battle pressed on and his pokemon were quashed by the overwhelming opposition, a demi-regirock began to reassemble, like a diminutive effigy of itself. "n-no..."

"it's reacting to the stones... i can feel it. but why? it was destroyed, its aura was—"

katherine had been right to fear it, though adrian couldn't help but notice the strange sensation of life siphoned from the stone and into the construct; the familiar feel of lifeblood that he was so privy to. he began attempting to drain this energy; he would sample its properties. was it truly life he was feeling, or a convincing facsimile...?

...and if it was alive, maybe it was sentient. if it was sentient, it could feasibly communicate. full up on spite, he was seeing enemies on all sides, the coalescing regirock only the latest among a whole slate of them. where delta failed nobly, he was forced to rely on his KUBFU, which quickly recognized the dire straits they were in. pressing a paw to adrian thoughtfully, it tried to glean something out of him.

an order, perhaps. in that moment of their contact, adrian transfers the mysterious facsimile into its own lifeblood, gauging the reaction with his shinigami eyes. when it had no visible effect, he grew desperate. after all, kubfu could do nothing about their flying menace and ghostly apparitions. but the enemy of his enemy might...

even if katherine and lars were right, they were wrong to attack him without any provocation. they hadn't even gleaned his intent before loosing a volley of attacks on him. and the fact they had turned their powers on him so crudely only spurred him towards a darker agenda. but...

it wasn't right. he absolutely hated their guts, wished the worst on them... but he would've been contradicting everything he'd said, thought or felt in the past few minutes to allow the golem its rampage, just to see who it might flatten. warily rising to his feet, he and kubfu begin stepping away cautiously. it remained vigilant in their retreat, prepared to DETECT signs of hostility, tightening up its focus in case they were approached. meanwhile, adrian tried to hoard more and more of the lifeblood flowing through the conduit, redirecting to his kubfu if he could.

"for now, at least, we shouldn't let it have the stones back—which means we should keep them separate—" he spoke quickly while creating a little more distance between himself and the regi, and thus those who meant to accost him only moments ago. it might've ocurred to him to attack it before it reformed completely, but as it stood, he wasn't going to leave himself vulnerable to these ruffians.

Are you kidding me?!

His mind wanted to scream, to reach out, to fucking strangle

The mist was fading and fast because its primary source had now departed the area (thanks, Gravity) but now it slowly revealed him slumped over the Sivally, hackles still raised at the sight that was happening with the rocks that were forming…

Turning to Razz, all he could say was this:

“Do you want to die?!” while gesturing at the reforming rubble that was starting to take shape into a smaller form of the giant that was rampaging much earlier. “Do you want to get crushed, again, by falling rubble caused by that?!”

He wasn’t going to take anything else for an answer.

“Then help me get that piece of rock!”

Knowing that the damned thing had to be stopped at all costs, his other hand rummaged inside his jacket, tiredly pulling out something and tapping the side of the Silvally’s head as he inserted something almost-white into the open space.

Not many would know, nobody (except him, maybe?) would be surprised at the change—it was almost unnoticeable except to him, either way.

The normal-colored ‘fins’ took on what he knew was a familiar pale sheen as the Silvally’s ‘type’ changed from normal to Ice as the Beast-Killer stood there, ready, hackles still bared—

“Amir, stand down. Not yet.”

Fuck, he wanted to pass out because of the chorus of aches and pains that were now shaking his body, but Weather Trio be damned he wasn’t going to let that stupid rock golem kaiju resurface and rampage once more.




• He’s tired, man, rip adrenaline rush
• Lars whips out the ‘do you want to die’ argument while gesturing at the reconstituting kaiju
• Look he just wants to rest let him
• Silvally’s typing changes to Ice from Normal
• Amir at the ready, but not attacking just yet
Is there reason left?
just because I wanted to

“...No.”
[break][break]
Adrian had been given not once chance, but several. His decision to outright ignore each of them and defy her will all while ignoring orders given to him by the authorities will not go unpunished, nor will it be allowed so easily.
[break][break]
The fall of his Starmie represents one thing and one thing alone: an opening. The opportunity she sought and personally created despite the sudden aid from ’s side. It happens with a simple gesture, a flick of her wrist, and then gravity shifts once more.
[break][break]
He is pulled down towards the ground - along with anyone in his close proximity - but mostly in an attempt to force his arms by his sides, as far away from his pockets as possible. A second combatant showing up this easily?
[break][break]
He wishes.
[break][break]
Regardless of whether if ’s Ultra Beast opts to attack, Katherine continues, a sense of urgency settling upon her once realization kicks in: she can’t count on for help. The man would attack only as a last resort, and even then, he’d likely only do it if he’s forced to. As always, she is by herself.
[break][break]
The only person Katherine Fairburne can count on is herself.
[break][break]
The FRAGMENT begins its transformation just as her eyes narrow down, figuring what is transpiring right in front of her. Fuck. She was right. ”This isn’t enough to convince you either, is it? Nothing is going to convince you, because your minds are already made up.”
[break][break]
As it stood, the titan was coming back.
[break][break]
“Fine. Be my guest. Lars, it's time to wake up. If you don't want this thing to resurrect itself and slaughter your people— your rangers— then fucking do something!”
[break][break]
Dragapult’s assault comes in the form of flames, spectral orbs of WILL O WISP shoot in the direction of both the slowed down Buzzwole (thanks to the shift in gravity) and the (hopefully?) somewhat locked down . They can both burn, they can both suffer, and the new regirock can finish the job itself if it wishes to. She won’t lift a hand to help either of them.
[break][break]
Only, and only if they’ll decide to see reason, then so will she. But until then, their fates are sealed.
[break][break]
notes: [break][break]
- dragapult is hit (?) by the ice punch, but they continue fighting.[break]
- Katherine does not intend to let reach for his pokeballs so easily. instead, she manipulates gravity and enhances its pull to the max - slowing down the buzzwole (and razz if he's within range), but most importantly, she seeks to force 's hands and rend him incapable of sending another pokemon. [does he lift?][break]
- dragapult attacks with will o wisp on both buzzwole and .[break]

Oh well shit... seems like the nightmare wasn't over. Not with the rock seeming to try and regain life as the debris would try to reform. [break][break]

Though it seems like Lars and Kat were going to be no help to the problem. Especially as suddenly things were feeling heavy, without the use of a pokemon? So were both offenders avatars? Razz just growls in annoyance at his boss' words. "So what your help here is going to be conditional? Whether its in your hand or his thing is a problem," the younger ranger growls back and unlike the Head Ranger and Gym Leader Razz takes action against the common problem.[break][break]

Well after a retaliation attack, "Brace yourself," he would say loud enough for to hear as Razz would give a whistle after the WILL-O-WISP struck. The Ultrabeast slamming it's fist into the ground to use EARTHQUAKE on not only the reforming rock but toward the other's pokemon. Counting on the Kubfu's Detect to keep it's trainer safe.[break][break]

Another whistle and Crimson is on the move to try and use ICE PUNCH on the forming rock, see if they can't delay it forming enough as the barrier is finally going down.

DANGEROUS DISCOVERIES RAID
SETTING: MID-DECEMBER



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qlvgdm1RxI1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player][break][break]


TRUE PATH




DYNERGY FLOWS FROM REMNANT TO RECREATION. adrian will feel his avatar powers siphon the connection between them. his outreach will feed him an unknown power that burns with the corrosion of a potency he cannot handle. his vitality will return, stamina coming in waves, but it burns with a painful heat unbridled.

[break][break]

the flow starts from the remnant and ends with him. it may power the regirock but the essence he touches is not the lifeforce he’s familiar with. yveltal’s domain is clear and succinct, distinct enough that the trainer can discern the differences.

[break][break]

katherine’s interference of GRAVITY brings him to his knees. the pressure proves suffocating when coupled with the earlier weight of her dragapult’s exertions. still, his pokeball manages to roll into the open, summoning his kubfu.

[break][break]

the transfer of power fails. that in itself should serve as a definite enough clue to steer his assessment in the right direction. his kubfu will DETECT the danger to come but none of that matters. against its will, and to his chagrin, it gets sucked back into its pokeball.

[break][break]

after being sucker punched by buzzswole’s ICE PUNCH, katherine’s dragapult looks to reflect its ire with a flurry of WILL-O-WISPS. sinister in intentions, they burn the ultra beast while looking to do the same to the much more vulnerable human: adrian malcolm.

[break][break]

but they never get the chance. the sudden woosh of swinging arms put out the flames mid-flight. the regirock comes to life, dispelling the attack as purple embers land harmlessly against its stone exterior.

[break][break]

REGI!

[break][break]

it stands in front of adrian protectively, lumbering in place as buzzswole’s EARTHQUAKE rumbles the immediate area.

[break][break]

GI! GI!

[break][break]

when the ultra beast approaches, it lands a solid ICE PUNCH. frost manifests, spreading in the immediate area of impact. but the titan does not falter. it lands an equally punishing STONE EDGED fist straight into the pokemon’s chiseled chest, pushing it back several feet.

[break][break]

GI! GI! GI!

[break][break]

with space created, the regirock raises its hands, firing numerous ROCK BLASTS at all that stand opposite adrian. despite its smaller stature, it looks like it lost very little of its fire power. most of these stones weigh closer to boulders, comparable to regirock itself.

 pain jolts up along his arm and causes his convictions to waiver, bringing him to his knees as the renegade avatar spreads their influence far and wide. one hand drives the remnant against the ground as he braces himself, using it to prop himself, while the other hand feels the dirt and dust filling his fingernails. but the burning sensation yet lingers, and yet it's curious as he doesn't recollect the will-o-wisp reaching him. in fact, the titan rushed to his aid then.

it was the power of the stone which flayed his nerves.

his eyes discern that he is saturating himself with the strange energy, but it does not react as it should. it is painful to bear within him, and knowing full well what tampering with such energies did to ... he is not wont to keep it contained should it harm him ere long. but the titan is loose again, rampaging and—protecting him...? is this really happening? it was nonsensical; why would it be reacting this way, unless...?

as he is suffused with this strange energy, he cannot help wondering... has he emulated the effects of the 'gift', without the volition of its aspect? is regirock bound to him, so long as he contains this energy? a reason not to release it so thoughtlessly, then. he is unsure which path, which choice, leads where he wants it to. but his first impulse is to understand the implications of what is unfolding and avert the needless conflict.

"...stop!" he forced in a croak that others are not as likely to hear amidst the clamor, but it should reach regirock if they are indeed bound as he guessed. if it obeys...

he would restore most of its power to the remnant, unburdening himself in the process. and if it refused...

then he knew its cooperation was only happenstance, and he would have to begin acting accordingly. he hasn't the strength yet to partake in this battle, and he only now considers the repercussions of attracting the raving titan's attention in so vulnerable a state, nevermind the vultures lurking all around. but even so, he would not see harmed on his account. as for the others... he wasn't too concerned.

The rocks flying—

Holy fucking shit.

A furious tirade of Alto Marean thoughts racked his head, as the Silvally growled, baring his ‘fangs’ so to speak before the incoming hail storm of rocks began raining down around everyone—one crashing dangerously close to where he was.

No words were needed; a Protective screen shimmered into existence before another rock smashed ridiculously close to where they stood their ground.

Fuck, the dizziness was getting to him—was he going to topple off the Silvally’s back? He hoped not.

“Amir, do what—you have to,” Lars hissed, forcing his eyes shut for a few moments to will away the pain that was starting to form in the back of his head, adding onto the chorus of wailing, aching, injuries he’d sustained so far.

A singular roar, and a Multi-Attack released from the Silvally’s maw cut across the space; attempting to strike the reconstituting Regirock kaiju.




no thoughts, head empty, let Lars REST
• Silvally used Protect to defend against the rock storm!

Screaming ‘I fucking told you so’ briefly crosses Katherine’s mind.
[break][break]
Although she didn’t think the Regirock would make its return this quickly, she anticipated that something like this could happen. She wanted to prevent it. She wanted to prevent having to battle the titan (in this form or the other one) again, but as always, she’s by herself. She is villainized and made a bully, all because…
[break][break]
Well, was there really a reason for it?
[break][break]

Worthless idiots. All of them.
[break][break]
“Shoot that thing until it’s dead!” She barks out an order to her exhausted Dragapult, commanding the dragon to utilize its power to blast the titan with a precise DRAGON PULSE. The gravity persists as Katherine makes her way closer, slowly and carefully, treading lightly due to the close proximity to the resurrected creature.
[break][break]
She won't give up.
[break][break]
notes: [break][break]
- not much other than telling dragapult to use dragon pulse against regirock, hoping to dismantle the titan a second time.

[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

“CRIMSON!” Razz calls out in worry for hsi buzzwole as they’re struck with the stoney fist

that had knocked it back. Seems like striking it while it was coming to life once more didn’t help.

Though unlike before where it seemed to strike at all of them, Razz has come to recognize a

protective position when he sees it though. [Break][break]

So while the Buzzwole shakes it’s head and tries to BULK UP once again to match it’s

strength to be equal to that of the Rock Titan Razz gives no order to strike. Instead he gives a whistle to go on the defensive. So as the ROCK BLAST come Buzzwole tried to break through them with ICE
PUNCH
as they came to make sure none hurt their trainer. [Break][break]

“Do you think it’ll listen?” the ranger can’t help but ask, not entirely sure if asking it to stop
would be the best thing to do. Especially if Katherine and Laurance were going to keep at it. "Seems like you'll need for some protection" because while he can rationalize them attack he also feels they'll still be a target. "If it's really protecting you I can possibly have this guy here give you a ride out" he'll attempt to offer making to he was just low enough for to hear him.

TRUE PATH




AND STOP IT DOES. the whirring mechanisms drone into a dull silence as it stands front and center. choosing now to quit reduces the pokemon to mere target practice.

[break][break]

the green glimmer of lars’ PROTECT shatters as a boulder bounces off harmlessly. likewise, the ICE PUNCH barrage from razz’s buzzswole pounds the ROCK BLAST into dust.

[break][break]

in return, their attacks riddle the stone golem. every impact causes it to quake. pieces of its stone surface start to chip as it buckles, vulnerable. however, it proves more resilient now that its assailants have been exhausted.

[break][break]

when adrian releases his siphon on the remnant, the mutual connection between the purple slab and regirock flickers with renewed strength. rather than serving as a one-way flow, it seems to have cemented itself into something more stable: a mutual tether.

[break][break]

at katherine’s approach, her own remnant starts to react violently. it vibrates within her arms, pointing at the very same regirock. like holding a magnet against its will, she will feel it beckon.

POSTED ON Nov 23, 2021 15:00:32 GMT

 "...i'm not too sure." though he had a bit of a working theory, he wasn't sure one instance made it concrete. test it again.

the regirock was now sustaining significant damage thanks to him calling it off, not that he was particularly thrilled with letting it run wild either. though to him at least it seemed the greater threat had passed. and yet their peers were not so easily convinced, relentlessly attacking the goliath.

if he let them destroy it, they would just resume attacking him, which would leave him at their mercy. he wanted to separate it from the situation while retaining its power as a deterrent. otherwise they would just resume their earlier quarrel with the invigorated sense that they were in the right. he couldn't have that.

razz offered him a means of escape, providing him a solution, such as it was.

it would require him to be underhanded, but he felt the need was strong. "...would you?"

before allowing himself to be shown to safety by buzzwole, adrian allowed his dark aura to corrupt the regirock. all the while he's jumpy, keeping an eye fixated on what he perceived to be the main threat: the unidentified avatar.

eyes are drawn towards katherine, seeing the influence of their aura as she draws near the titan and them by proxy. its mechanisms cannot be inferred, but as he stares towards them, he notices the rock tucked in their arms. hypocrite.

razz delivers him into buzzwole's proximity for safeguarding. from there, he could siphon life from its robust constitution, feeding regirock the leftovers. he could only take so much, lest buzzwole should realize his deception or become unfit to bear him.

due to the gravity, he must be assisted. he conserves his strength to safeguard the rock, though in the end he's provoked by katherine's prejudice. "you're ridiculous."

adrian spits on the ground. "you fear it, and rightfully so," he takes a moment to breathe, sneering. "but what have you done to actually stop it, that we haven't? we both possess remnants, but only you are naïve enough to assume that only you know what to do about it. yet your only achievement was baseless violence, leaving us worse off when it did reappear—what was your actual plan?!" adrian gestures to regirock.

"... besides, there is no destroying this; it is an aspect, just like the one you serve."

and it would seem this aspect had chosen, if one considered it a voluntary act.

"if you continue, you're only proving to me that you're incapable of reconciliating. that you've the same inclination for violence with extreme prejudice as this... monster, as i'm sure you think of it. a threat to public safety who flagrantly abuses their gift..."

it might've been his bias, but katherine shared some nasty traits with this regirock.

adrian isn't sure what he's talking himself into, but it boils over abruptly as he harps on her transgressions. the league deserves better than you. his index points to katherine.

"it ceased fire on my order... and if that's the case, then it is no longer a threat to our safety," he doesn't want to see this thing around anymore than them. but how could anyone trust this thing under anyone's charge, save their own? adrian can clearly empathize with katherine's motives and intent, but not her alleged misconduct.

"but based on your collective actions, i can only assume you are still a threat to mine."

it's quite sad when you can't trust the league not to perpetrate crimes against you.

"if they move against us, i want you to end the matter... starting with her."

this he ordered of the regirock, retracting his previous command. yet another test.

if regirock only retaliated contingent with his specific instructions, it could be safely assumed that it obeyed him without exception. it would then also help him understand katherine—whether fear was truly the sole factor behind her persistent irrationality.

and he could deny culpability. test me.

What a hypocrite…

Those were the unsaid words that Lars couldn’t mention, the way that Razz—holy shit. Was he really—

The audacity!

‘Forgive the Kalosian again, but that’s fucked up.’

‘I know!’

‘What are you going to do now?’

‘Well, we have to get that stupid rock away from—’

‘Clearly you know something.’

‘…I do.’

Truth be told; there was something he hadn’t told the deity—had he not gone down into Shoal Cave by chance, then things would be very different now. There would be two emissaries of the Agent of Death, as an old friend called that one particular Legendary, standing right here in this chamber and not only one.

“Really?” he began in Razz’s direction before gesturing at the reconstituting kaiju. “Don’t you see the bigger threat right there?”

With a painful arm gesture, he points towards the… shit, the rock kaiju was starting to look really disconcerting. Felt really off, the way the hairs on the back of his neck prickled the longer he stared at the golem.

“Razz, you don’t know what he is, huh?” he said with disbelief as he gestured at the other (Adrian). “Look at that kaiju again and tell me you’re not stupid enough to see something’s off about it.”

He was oh, so fucking tempted to drop Adrian’s secret right then and there, but leave it to the only other person to figure out what it was, should she be sharp-eyed enough to notice what was wrong with the kaiju.

Death-touched he may be no longer, but fact of the matter was that some of the presence still prickled at him; despite already being in the cold embrace of another.

“Amir. Get ready to defend us.”

Slowly, deliberately, the Silvally (still growling) heads over to where Katherine is, ready to protect her should things go even farther south than they already are, preparing another Protective screen should shit hit the fan.




• Lars is just appalled at what Razz is doing
• he is oh so very tempted to reveal that Adrian is an Avatar
• instead gives the other some food for thought
• is getting’ kinda concerned for the kaiju over there
• Silvally heads over closer to where Katherine is
• Silvally prepares a Protective screen just in case
