The shadow of Mt. Pyre vastly loomed as the sun set beyond its peak. Bells rang from across the cliffs, a mix of caregivers announcing the time and Chimecho swaying in the breeze. Many visitors would soon exit the base of the mountain, followed by sages wielding incense and torches. Most would depart for their homes, their mourning finished. Others would gather around the older wooden shrines around the coast of the island, where the sages would go to pay their nightly respects.

These shrines existed long before Mt. Pyre was made into a massive graveyard, acting as places of burial for ancient pokemon. Even today these spirits were appeased, the sages of the mountain lighting candles at every marker and shrine to honor the long departed. While only made of wood, these pieces of history were considered more valuable than gold. It was a wonder then that they left them so unprotected.

A roar echoed across the horizon, a sound that the sages and onlookers ignored. It was hardly unusual to hear roars across the sky here in Hoenn. Their neglect invited disaster; by the time one of the sages noticed an enormous alien creature diving toward the shrines, it was already too late.

The yellow Naganadel roared once more before unleashing a mighty blast of fire across the coast line. The aged wood burst into ghastly flames, and the impact threw the sages aside. The onlookers ran for the mountain, while the sages desperately scrambled to help each other up before the dragon came to deliver a second blast. This volley was even more vicious, delivering burns to many of the sages as they fled. Flames now consumed the coast, eating away at sacred history. The sages tended to their wounded, while their leader desperately begged for a water pokemon. Alas, he had no luck on this night. All of the trainers in attendance were not equipped to combat such a large fire. Dismayed, the head sage began to desperately throw dirt upon the fires. A fruitless effort, for the flames were far too strong to be stopped. A roar rang across the sky, and this time the head sage followed it to its source. He watched helplessly with tear filled eyes as the malevolent alien flew off into the distance.

From the woods outlying the lake, Oscar keenly watched the tragedy unfold. He slowly lifted a walkie talkie to his mouth, watching the flames a moment longer before pressing the call button. "This is dragon lord, I'd say it's safe to arrive to the scene. I'll come in with the cavalry momentarily--over." Oscar chuckled and turned to his team of GMH civil servants, "Did you see that shit light up? Who knew age was better than gasoline?" Oscar turned back to the fires, waiting for his compatriot in this dire plot to make their move.

Gavin's own Naganadel, coloured the vibrant purple as was ordinary for their species, participates in the sacrilegious act of burning the shrines with its heat wave. Before it can be apprehended, the mischievous Ultra Beast disappears from the scene and switches places with an ally: one Gavin Merlino, who emerges from cover under the guise of an unfortunate mourner.[break][break]

There are cries for mercy, cries for rain, cries that Gavin will not answer.[break][break]

Instead, he focuses on evacuation. He makes sure to be seen as he carefully guides others away from the flames, the signature silver Corviknight of one Patrick Cavalli circling overhead and using its wings to defog the skies and clear the acrid smoke. Gavin coughs, and this part is not acting, this part is brought on by years of addiction taking root in his lungs. It helps to sell his disheveled state as the force of it brings tears to his eyes.[break][break]

A subtle signal from Gavin sends the Corviknight to roost upon a rocky outcrop; a signal to Oscar that enough damage had been done for him to arrive.

As soon as Oscar spotted Gavin's corviknight roosting on its perch, the rogue would grin. "Alright boys, just as we planned. Time to save some culture." Oscar pulled out a pokeball, opening it to reveal his Dragonite Ludicrous. The loving pokemon let out a cry of triumph as it took off, Oscar hanging from its back. Oscar's minions rode in on various water types, Surfing toward the fire. Oscar yelled out as he got closer, "Make some room!"

As the team arrived on the shore, they quickly turned their attention to the raging inferno. Their water pokemon quickly got to work, delicatly fighting the fire with Water Guns to avoid further damaging the shrines. Oscar landed his dragonite near the shocked head sage, "Hey old timer, get going you're only gonna be in the way." The old sage tried to stagger off, but he stumbled and fell to his knees. Oscar rolled his eyes and slid off Ludicrous. Fuckin' old people.

Putting his arms on the sage's shoulders, lifting him and providing support as they made it to the entrance of Mt. Pyre. As they entered the graveyard, Oscar yelled orders to Ludicrous. "Ludicrous, use your wings to put out the fire!" Ludicrous nodded, turning to aid the others in fighting the fires. Oscar helped the sage inside, which is where he spotted Gavin helping other unfortunate mourners. He gave Gavin a knowing look before addressing the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, remain calm. My name is Oscar Clayton, and luckily for you my men and I were surveying Route 122 when we spotted this disaster. Excuse my language but, what the fuck happened?"

It is through practice at deception that Gavin holds back a smirk upon seeing burdened with the old sage.

As the CEO announces himself and inquires after the chaos, several voices chorus in answering. Some are uncertain, others too frightened to be coherent, but a consensus slowly forms: Megalopolans must have struck out against this holy site in vengeance for their lost war. There had been Naganadel in the skies and such terrible, terrible heat.

"I saw one of them myself," Gavin adds, backing up a young woman's claim. "I didn't see where it went after it crossed behind the mountain."

Others murmur in agreement, and the Rocket is reassured that none had discerned the source of the two draconic Ultra Beasts that had wreaked such havoc upon their shrines.

Oscar scowled as the mourners answered in unison, "Come on folks, pretend to be organized." Oscar took out a silver cigarette case, opening it to pull out a purple lollipop. As he put it in his mouth, Gavin stepped forward to give clarification. Oscar was impressed how the room just naturally paid him respect, the man really knew how to command a room. 

Oscar feigned a look of concern, "Fuckin' megaloplans, they wouldn't be such a problem if the league got off their asses." Just then, one of Oscar's goons stepped in, "Sir, the fires are almost out but we have a problem. One of the guys spotted one of those dragon dragon ultra beasts flying around." Oscar narrowed his gaze, their Naganadals weren't supposed to come back.

Oscar shot Gavin a look as the crowd began to panic. Oscar raised his hands, "Hey now calm down, this should be easy to handle. Just stay here, I'll look into it." Oscar followed his goon outside, who pointed in the air soon after they exited. "Look, it came back!" Oscar looked up, and sure enough a naganadal was starring down at them. Was it Gavin's? He wasn't sure, its eyes looked--off.

Oscar growled lowly, "Shit on a dick, this was going so well."

As gives Gavin a look, the underboss offers a near-imperceptible shake of his head.

Setting himself apart from the panic of the crowd, Gavin volunteers, "I'll go as well. My Corviknight is still out there..."

Under the guise of checking on his poor, threatened bird, Gavin steps outside with Oscar and his goons. "Still might be," he says in a low voice, so that only Oscar will here. "That isn't mine."

He whistles, sharp, to summon his Corviknight to them in preparation of conflict.

Oscar glares at the alien dragon as Gavin joins him. Upon receiving confirmation that it isn't the underboss's, Oscar sighed deeply. "Damn thing must have been attracted by the fires." The purple dragon let out a low roar, which slowly rose with volume as it bolted toward the scene. Oscar cracked his neck and snapped his fingers, "Ludicrous! We have a guest!"

Ludicrous looked away from the smoldering shrines and gasped as the strange being flew toward them. Looking to Gavin's corviknight, she would give a nod of acknowledgement. It was time to double team this intruder. Ludicrous took flight, soaring to meet the screeching alien in mid-air.

The mighty dragon did not hesitate as she approached her foe, letting loose a powerful blast of Dragon Pulse once within range. She would then duck out of the way before even seeing if the attack landed, allowing the corniknight to deliver its own attack while the Ultra Beast was distracted.

Oscar's Dragonite takes to the skies, and Corviknight swoops down from its mountain perch to join its ally in combat against their alien foe. It would have been a perfect time to send his own Naganadel out, if they were not doing their best to remain disconnected from the crime.

Gavin pulls a pin from his glasses, and Corviknight is consumed by a blinding glow. The mega-evolved avian dives recklessly toward the purple dragon, screaming defiance.

As Naganadel is struck by Dragonite's pulse, Corviknight attacks with the rage of the winds. The heat wave that Naganadel had tried to send against them is blasted back against its user, and the strong gale shoves the dragon back.

The mega-corvinknight delivered a shattering blow to the naganadel, which went spinning out of control toward the water surrounding the mountain. It splashed down with a nasty thud, likely snapping several appendages. Its attempt to cause chaos on behalf of its masters soundly thwarted, the massive dragon would burst from the lake and attempt to take off.

However it was no use, its wings were far too damaged and the wounded beast ended up helplessly splashing in the water. Ludicrous decided that it was best to put it out of its misery, charging static from the air to build up an immense bolt of electricity. Clouds former high above the naganadel, followed by a bright flash as a Thunder strike slammed against the struggling ultra beast.

Electricity briefly crackled across the water, luckily dissipating before reaching Oscar's water-bound crew. As the water's surface tremored, Ludicrous could see the shadow of the naganadel slowly sinking deeper into the lake. As soon as he was sure that the fight was over, Oscar clapped his hands together. "Well that settles that, thanks for your help stranger."

Oscar gave Gavin a knowing look of contained joy, leaning in to whisper quietly. "We should come back for that thing's body, might learn something." Oscar turned his attention back to the shrines, which were more or less still in tact. They were covered in scorch marks, but hey that was better than being turned to ash. 

Oscar heard the shuffling of feet, and looked back to see the mourners exiting the mountain. Oscar gave a wave as the sages approached. "Fire's out, megaloplan thing is dead, I think you guys are in the clear!" The sages seemed very grateful toward both Gavin and Oscar, and the mourners seemed relieved that this ordeal was over. More over, Oscar could swear he heard whispered complaints of the League's negligence. Music to his ears.

Thunder ripples across water, and the Ultra Beast falls.

"Cavalli," he volunteers, loud enough to be heard. His deep voice carries easily. "Appreciate the hand; might've lost my bird if you and your friends here hadn't stepped in."

With his back turned to the huddled onlookers, only will see Gavin's answering smirk. They would certainly be returning later. Even if this Naganadel was pacified by the League's scientific efforts, having a spare Ultra Beast specimen to test on would be valuable indeed.

"I'll stay behind, see if I can't help these folks salvage anything."
