They stood in Zac's backyard, on an open chunk of land that had been flattened and strengthened to form the foundation of their tower.
    A tower to space.
"Thanks for coming guys," Zac said to the assembled trainers. "It's a bit ambitious, I know, but a couple of Heatran ought to have us in the sky in no time flat." There was a burst of heat as a squat frog-like Pokemon made of steel and lava crawled out from behind his shed. "This is Zagrea. She's, uh, head of construction I guess." 
    The legendary Pokemon dripped lava onto the foundation site. "That's the way Zag! Give it a bit more!" Heatran gave a bent smile and thick waves of semi-solid lava oozed from her body, forming layers of future tower stone. "And just like that we're on our way!"
    Zac stepped away from the expanding flow. "We're gonna need all kinds of stuff as we get up higher and higher, but for now let's just focus on getting that lava flowing."

Doug wasn't an engineer nor anything even remotely close, which was probably the reason why he voiced neither doubt nor protest when Zac asked him to help him build a tower to space.

He had asked if the man's backyard was big enough instead.

Turns out, it was.

"Welp! It ain't gonna build itself, is it?" Said Doug, before rearing his head back. "KUMA! LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!"

His bellow echoed across the mouth of the caldera for a solid few seconds, before the Earth began to tremble and crack, fissures tearing open as yet another Heatran burst into the scene.

A sister to Zac's own, she seemed to more or less get the gist of the idea without many instructions from any of the humans present, the giant spider-like pokemon quickly moving to stand into position before summoning up plumes of lava all around her.

"So... You got any plans for how you want this tower to look, or we just lettin all masonry up to our good fellas out'ere?" Doug said after a moment of staring at the Heatrans work, fanning himself with his hand. His straw hat was gone. Had been so for the last few times they had seen each other, actually.

why were they building a tower into space? why was this an idea that zac had? and why was kazimir so gung-ho about actually helping out with creating it that he sat ontop of his own heatran trying to get some b-roll footage on a camera as the construction started. if they were going to make a tower reaching to space then they needed that kind of achievement properly documented.
[break][break]
"so like you guys think we're gonna find some aliens when we get this thing done? i'd like to meet some...nice onces y'know? hey that'll really get your vids to skyrocket won't they zac?" the blonde commented as he hopped off his heatran and gave it a pat on its back and a small shove towards the tower site where it walked up to the rest of the legendaries and began spewing molten rock to help build on what was already there.
[break][break]
kaz meanwhile kept holding the camera as he panned up and down from where they marked their site and tried to zoom in on the sky above them for some dramatic flair. "this is gonna be so awesome..."

With Zagrea, Kuma and Pompeii hard at work, the lava began to pile up. A roughly circular patch of thickening stone formed in Zac's yard, and he couldn't help but smile as the tower started to grow taller and taller. In minutes it was taller than Zac himself, which wasn't much of the way to space, but it was a damn good start.
"I'm not worried about looks," Zac said to "Did nature need blueprints for Mt Chimney?"
    He used an open hand to swipe at the air, as if brushing away the question. "This is a tower of dreams, Doug. The purest representation of our will to explore. The human need to push limits and see what's out there."
"You guys think we're gonna find some aliens when we get this thing done? I'd like to meet some...nice ones y'know?"  said, as he filmed the tower. "That'd be great, wouldn't it?" Zac said with a laugh. "Great camera work Kaz, but if we're really going to capture this event we need to get higher!" Zac said, and he sent out Minior. He strapped a camera to the little space rock and tossed it high into the air. At the peak of it's arc the rocky shell split open, revealing a glowing orb of galactic purple light. The little space sphere hung above the construction, filming and slowly spinning. Below it the three Heatran poured with lava, and the tower kept rising. The footage was going to be amazing. "This is gonna be awesome..." Kazimir said. 
    
Zac laughed and nodded, watching as the tower grew and grew.

It might just be a trick of the light but Angelo’s Heatran doesn’t look very Heatran-like at all… Instead, it looks suspiciously like a Midday Lycanroc. If he’s noticed his little legendary blunder – clearly the message just got lost in translation, right? – the courier doesn’t show it. [break][break]

Although technically, he wasn’t really invited so… Oh well.[break][break]

Woah, shit,” Angelo whistles, impressed, as he leans his bike up against Zac’s fence. He’s arrived just as the large, redhead mentions about this construction being a tower of dreams; his hands clasped around a package that has this particular address scrawled across. “I think you guys win the award for 'most memorable house I've delivered to' today. No contest.” It sounds like a compliment, given the sparkle of interest in his eyes. Angelo notices Doug then and gives him a greeting smile before handing off the delivery to the recipient – job done but his work not over.[break][break]

Hey, got room for one more? I’d be crazy to pass up on a free opportunity to venture into space.” The courier asks, unabashed in his desire to jump into adventure, even with people he wasn’t all too familiar with. Sans one bug catcher. [break][break]

There’s some time to spare between deliveries… Why not use it building a stairway to heaven?[break][break]

As the lava pokemon spew magma, Orion summons chunky shards of rock from her STONE EDGE to burst out of the ground, propping the slowly climbing pillar up with a steady base. Someone had told Angelo recently that a good foundation was important, no doubt a tower as big as this would need one to stop it toppling. Molten liquid drips down, stone becoming buried underneath but the shape maintained – like roots on a great, star-reaching tree.

"Nature wasn't plannin' to climb Mt. Chimney." Doug said dryly. "We at least need stairs."

There really was something wrong going on when he had to step in as the voice of reason.

The universe must have immediately realized how ill equipped for such a task Doug was, because almost as if on cue, a familiar voice rang nearby- drawing a reflexive grin out of the youth.

"Well'en. If it ain't m'favorite male Bugcatcher Association's Member." Doug said as he turned around to face the man, placing both hands at his hips.

"'Ey fellas! 'Tis Angelo! Angelo, Zac and Kaz. I don't really know Kaz, but he's with Zac so he's probably a pretty cool dude."

Kumasogami continued to work in the background spreading the foundation further out as the full scope of the mission was communicated to her, the Heatran almost reflexively realizing just how solid they would need to make the foundation if they didn't want it to just tip over and fall off.

Mt. Pyre was more his favorite haunt, but travel obviously took him other places. While traveling via teleport or phantom force was far more efficient, it was nearly impossible for a pokemon to take him somewhere it hadn't been before. And so Andy now soared through the air on fairly new addition to his team: the dragapult Spectress.
[break][break]
Much larger than his tried and trusted yanmega, Spectress was a much more comfortable mount than being carted around by Ravana. Not that he had anything against her, but after the Three Days War, he was worried about getting the pokemon killed. Not that he wanted to get any of them killed. From his height in the clouds he spotted an anomaly on the ground.
[break][break]
What the hell? A glowing mound of lava made for a pretty eye catching landmark. At first he thought that it was just activity from the mountain, but then his brown eyes caught the streams of lava being fed into it. Tapping his palm against the dragapult he commanded, ''Spec, lets go down have have a peek.''
[break][break]
''Draaag.'' The creature's narrow mouth made a lizardy squawk. Losing altitude at a controlled rate, the youth noted that this lava pillar was growing in the yard of someone's home, which was even more intriguing. As they came near the ground, the dragapult came to hover over the earth and Andy slid back off of its tail onto the grass.
[break][break]
To his surprise, there were a lot of familiar faces. There was the ginger from the exploded church, Angelo, and Doug. His face contorted into something awkward at the sight of the bug catcher, and he immediately wondered if he should leave. There were also some familiar pokemon, mainly those heatran from the caves.
[break][break]
''Glad to see you didn't get sucked into hell, or blown up, or whatever,'' he directed at the mountainous red head, trying to avoid Doug for a moment. ''Hey loser,'' he said with a small wave at . ''What kind of psycho project are you building here?'' He had a heatran himself, though he had not done much with it sadly. What potential did it have?

“Hey, got room for one more? I’d be crazy to pass up on a free opportunity to venture into space.” Zac recognized the voice. It was , his friendly neighbourhood delivery man! "How's it going mate! Yeah of course, come on in!" Zac beckoned the man into the backyard, shaking his hand and taking the parcel. "Oh perfect timing." Zac said, tearing open the package to reveal a big rock. "I've been waiting on this secondary aerial cam for ages." Zac attached a camera to the rock and threw it into the air, where it opened just like the first Minior. The pair orbited the tower, getting perfectly angled footage of the event. " , focus your shots on the people. This is gonna be a momentous event, and knowing who was here for it will be an important historical record one day, don't ya think?"
    Nearby, Angelo sent out his own Heatran, who barked happily at the pillar as it shored up the foundations with juts of stone. Zac narrowed his eyes and quirked a smile at the legendary. "Nice, uh, 'Heatran' you've got there mate." Zac said, in high spirits. "Seems a tad small but he sure is friendly." Zac sent out two of his own canine 'Heatran', and the trio worked to make sure that the tower of cooling lava didn't collapse on them. 
    "Nature wasn't plannin' to climb Mt. Chimney." said dryly. "We at least need stairs." 
"And there we go!" Zac said, proudly. "Our first problem. That's a sign of progress." He banged his balled fist against the flat of his other hand to punctuate the statement. "These gorgeous Heatran aren't great for fine detail, so what do you suggest?"
    As they worked on the stairs problem, another familiar face appeared, this time descending from the sky on the back of a Dragapult. "Glad to see you didn't get sucked into hell, or blown up, or whatever,'' The youth said to Zac. The two hadn't really met, but Zac recognized him from the Plate Club meeting at the church. Clearly the youth remembered Zac, too. "Hell didn't want me, so now we're aiming for Heaven," Zac said with a laugh. He pointed up at the clear sky. "Looking closer already, don't you think? The name's Zac." he said, offering a huge hand for to shake. 
    The tower was growing quickly, but Doug was right. They needed at least a semblance of structure, and a way to get up. As bizarre as it sounded to Zac, they needed other Pokemon that weren't Heatran. That being said, they also needed more lava! That was a given though if they were aiming for the stars.
    "Okay guys! This is a damn good start! If you know anyone with a Heatran, or who may want in on a free trip to space, then send 'em a message! The backyard is big enough for everyone!"
    Zac pulled out his new, waterproof phone and slowly tapped out an email using one finger.

more people started to show up as their tower started to take shape, and with more people meant more help. they were lucky that they had several other heatrans with them to help spew some lava and the like all around the tower to make it as sturdy as possible. however a thought was starting to churn around in his head as he walked around the tower catching ever angle he could while zac dealt with aerial views, how the heck were they supposed to climb this thing?
[break][break]
zac did beat him to the punch about asking anyone if they knew what to do and kazimir pondered for a big on what they could use as stairs for this tower. he looked between both pokemon and human alike looking for an answer when he noticed something, a pokemon that wasn't part of the heatran troupe that they were running here. a lycanroc that was just throwing rocks everywhere.
[break][break]
kazimir quickly snapped his fingers and dug around in his pockets, "hey i got an idea guys! here follow my lead uh...you!" he exclaimed while pointing at the lycanroc belonging to before pulling out a pokeball to open it up and reveal his own lycanroc from inside. "hey hachiko! let's get some stars going riiiiiight, there! hit right here and here and so on with stone edge!" kazimir instructed as he walked over to the tower and patted several places in a rising line before turning towards , "you too man! two dogs are better than one after all."

he arrives at the scene, double taking on the message on the screen of his phone as he stares at the structure that hoenn's diverse cast of characters are trying to build. his pace stops a distance away, wherein he remains on his spot, trying to absorb everything.

a lot of questions come up in his head, though only one manages to slip from his mouth.

"what are you guys even doing?" he asks, question directed towards the sender of the message.

he thought this was going to be some kind of heatran playground playdate, but it seemed like the construction was for something else. he's not even sure what exactly is the heatran's use, though everything seemed organized enough for kyle to believe there's a reason for everything.

Ah, so that was why the box had been… vibrating. [break][break]

(Is it weird that Angelo is a little usure whether to be relieved or underwhelmed that it’s just a Minior? Anyway…) [break][break]

Thanks, man.” He laughs when compliments the Lycanroc, her tail wagging as she sniffs at one of the Heatran, unperturbed by the lava spewing monsters. “Just… Don’t tell her she isn’t really a Heatran. It’ll break her heart.” Angelo still wasn’t sure, even after evolving, whether Orion was incredibly brave or just lacking in a few braincells. He thinks it might be the latter, considering how she barked and leaped into the air at the tower, tongue lolling out of her mouth. [break][break]

Favourite male member?” There's a quirk of his brow, smiling in amused curiosity at . “You got someone else to join the association?”[break][break]

It’s then that a familiar figure descends from the sky atop a Dragapult; crashing the party in style. If Angelo hadn’t figured out that it was by the time he makes his entrance, his voice was more than enough to stir some memories. Angelo smirks in fond amusement at the loser comment and raises a hand up in return greeting. [break][break]

Long time no see, Andy,” he gets out before turning to Zac, something incredulous and daring glittering in blue eyes. Like he had a plan to poke a spitting fire, just to see where the embers sprayed. “You wouldn’t happen to have a safety helmet for the kid? He’s got a nasty habit of getting hit in the face by projectiles.” Angelo comments, loud enough for Andy to hear while jabbing a thumb in his direction, recalling the time on the adventour when had pitched a beautiful throw of a pokeball right into the teenager’s skull.[break][break]

Called away from Andy’s potential venomous comment – flashing the teenager a grin as he makes his escape – Angelo makes a beeline towards . It looks like they were on team staircase or, better yet, team Lycanroc. [break][break]

Got it. It’s Angelo, by the way. Doug said your name was Kaz, right?” He greets, lips a tiny bit strained at the corner – not caring much for being called you. Better introduce himself quick before it sticks. There’s a quick whistle then for Orion to join up with the other Lycanroc, the pair of them working together to construct stairs made of rock. “You know... If we lay the stairs out wide enough, you think the Heatran might be able to climb up? Will be able to build the tower higher then.

Melody had been wandering around hoenn, trying to better her performing skills and just learn more about hoenn. However she didn't expect to learn how about the determination it's people has...she wandered a bit close to 's property and began to see a bunch of...lava slug like Pokémon? they looked like modern macargos to her seemingly working on a monument of sorts... [break][break]
 Curiosity got the best of her, she had to come in and interrupt. She approached the group with a small smile and wave to the boys toiling away on the monument "Well well, what's all this? Hope you don't mind me crashing." she said out loud hoping the group was friendly.

"They are building a tower!" a voice piped up from behind and , answering their mutual question. "--to Space!"

A small, older woman with frizzy hair was standing there, wearing an aerobics outfit. She looked like she'd just come from a Jazzercise lesson. There was a Machamp getting out of the car behind her, who was cradling a boombox on one shoulder. He looked very tired.

"Ooh, it is very big already!" The woman clapped her hands, gazing up at the growing monolith. Splashes of red-hot magma periodically lit up the black spire. "It is interesting to watch, don't you think?" 

<Machaaaa,> the Machamp said suddenly, looking up. Michi waved at , who Matchan had just spotted nearby. It was fortunate he was so tall, and easy to spot. He was also like a tall tower in Lavaridge-- how funny! 

"Hello Zac!" she called, then second-guessed herself. He seemed very busy. Was it OK for her to interrupt?

Looking shy suddenly, she held up the plastic bag once she had his attention. She'd dropped by the convenience store on her way to the address. "Zac, I am sorry.. I do not have Heatran to help, but I brought rock cakes because you are telling me always that rock Pokemon enjoy, so Heatran will keep up its... their strength."

Aah, there were so many Heatran?! How was it possible?

Matchan, meanwhile, had noticed the team shoring up the tower's foundation. Having infinite experience personally weakening the structural stability of Michi's house, he naturally wanted to help. <Champ, champ...> he said, setting down the boom box by before jogging off towards the slope of the mountain.

A moment later he came back lugging a gigantic piece of volcanic stone he'd torn from the earth's crust nearby. It was so huge that it cast a giant shadow across the other workers at the base. 

With relative ease, the four-armed Pokemon squatted and set the block down to reinforce another part of the tower's base. <Oof,> he sighed, then went back for another one.

There was always a place for brute Strength in construction work!

    There were a dozen people here now, and the tower was starting to take shape. It rose above any other building in the greater Lavaridge area, and with the stone steps completed by  and  , the remaining Heatran now had an easy way up.
    The growing weight of the tower was starting to get worrying, but had shown up with her unique brand of emotional and structural support, and it was looking much straighter now.
    "What are we doing?" Zac asked, echoing 's question. "Isn't it obvious? We're heading to space!" He grinned at the champion, who seemed to want further justification. "I know you missed plate club, but  said something that got me thinking. She said we didn't find the plates by chance. Do you think it was chance that so many of us got these Heatran down in those mines? I don't."
    Zac looked up at the pillar, which was spilling over with magma as it stretched further and further above them. "We need them for something," he concluded. "I'm not saying it's for this. I don't claim to be some prophet, but I do think that stretching the limits of what is possible in this world is a wise move."

    "If we can reach space by working as one, then what else can we achieve together?"

Foundation secure
Stairs complete
Tower Status: Heatran getting hungry

Doug had simply smiled at Angelo's question and held a finger to his lips.

"I'll let'cha meet her when she's less... indisposed. I'm sure she'll 'ppreciate the company." He said.

Return to us soon, sweet, crazy .

He knew Andy was out there, obviously, but he wasn't going to push the kid if he didn't wanna talk to him for now. He had only gotten over what had happened at the desert recently anyway.

"Well, that takes care o'that... Technically." Doug said, tapping at his chin as the steps of stone were created by Angelo's and Kaz's concerted efforts.

It was to allow the Heatran's to climb, but... the Heatran's could already move up stone surfaces like spiders. Well, whatever the intent was, they now had stairs, so he supposed it didn't matter.

Several people continued to arrive one after another. He thought he saw even the new champion out there, but surely not. What could someone that important be doing here?

He also saw the messy house lady. He would never have pictured her as having a machamp, but as a Jazz dancer? Yeah, that checked out.

It was always impressive to see a Machamp at work; common enough sights at the many constructions sites of the developing Kanto once upon a time, Doug had seen them perform mind-boggling feat after feat of strength, and it never got old.

"Hello again, Messy house lady." Said Doug cheerfully as he waved at Michiko, approaching to look into the plastic bag filled with rock goodies. "That's some good thinkin'. Kuma and her bros are beginnin' to look hungry."

Despite the distance between herself and her trainer, the Heatran in question popped her head out of the Caldera's lava pool moments later, staring their way questioningly.

Shaking his head at her for the moment, the youth turned back his attention towards Zac and the lady, and discovered that yes.

The Champion was indeed here.

What even?

"I don't really believe in fate or destiny, but I can believe someone or somethin''s got plan for us and 'em lil' plates." Doug said. "And I look forward to messin' 'em all up. I've been timin' things out, Zac. How tall's the tower now? Let's run some logistics."
