[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"] certainly seemed to be in high spirits about the situation, his jovial mood was quite infectious, after all. However, 's answer left quite a bit to be desired. Power? Arsenal? Was that what this was all about to him? A boy his age cared that much about these kinds of things? Then again... the war probably did force a ton of people to grow up faster than they should have. Her eyes simply slowly drifted off into the trees as they drove, mentally debating to herself. [break][break]

As the path stopped and it seemed like they were going to walk, the silence was the absolute first thing Ruby noticed. She had gone camping several times a week since she had arrived in Hoenn, and being ever aware of the noises around them due to her Hatterene Whisper. Just, the wind and nothing more except their own noises. Something was off, Ruby could practically feel it. [break][break]

As spoke to her again, Ruby nodded her head. "Trust me, they've got good eyes on 'em. If we run into any of those ugly beasties from the war, they'll be the first to know." Speaking of Amor, the Togekiss simply continued to circle overhead, dedicated to its work. Paying close attention to his Pokedex's words for a brief moment, Ruby finally hopped out of the truck and began to hike with the rest of the group. [break][break]

"Buddy System?" Ruby tilted her head as spoke, only to shrug a bit to herself. It wasn't a terrible idea. "Anyone is free to stay by my side if you desire, I'll be alright."[break][break]

As they continued to walk and the silence continued to remain, Ruby finally had enough. Nobody else had pointed it out, but she also presumed most people didn't exactly focus on their audio surroundings much, asides from perhaps . Almost as if on instinct, Ruby quickly tossed out Whisper. The Hatterene immediately stood up tall, staring down at the group as the others went off to search for things.[break][break]

"Guys?" She'd quietly speak up, nodding her head at Whisper as she did so. "Do you hear that? There's... nothing. No birds, no bugs, no footsteps anywhere except us. Just... the wind." Her implications didn't exactly need to be stated, but the unnatural reality of the situation weighed quite heavily on her. [break][break]

As called out for people to join them, Ruby began to walk her way over quietly herself. If there was anything here, with the lack of sound from anything else, their group had to have been noticed right away, she was sure of it. Whisper's own eyes stared out into the woods, almost as if she herself was attempting to sense anything that might threaten her dearly loved trainer. [break][break]

notes Ruby notices the oppressive silence, and sends out  Hatterene to help the search. Shadow Togekiss still overhead.

"Ya came to the right gatherin', then!" Doug said cheerfully to . "We are all yer age! ...ish! Feel free to call us again if ya ever wanna hang out, eh?"

The youth had enlisted everyone into any future gatherings Eris might wanna try without asking.

Whoopsie-doodle. Eh, he was sure would come to appreciate it.

Eventually, the light off-road trail they had been traversing through came to an end, and with one last dig at Doug's sweet ride, declared it time for a walk.

"Yeah, cause I would snap 'em like a Skitty-kat bar if they did." Doug said with a snort as he swung the doors open and stepped out, leaning atop the open window of his truck's door.

His eyes narrowed as he reached up to cup from behind one of his ears.

Nothing.

"... Arashi's got the right idea. How about we split in groups o' three?" He said suddenly, latching onto 's idea after being unsettled by the abject silence of the forest. He would let look out after the other two.

He was a bugcatcher. He had spent enough time in forests to know more or less what he should expect.

This was not it.

"Oi, Hideo? Eris? What'cha say we all pair up together?" He said, placing a hand gently atop Hideo's head... and not ruffling his hair, for once. His gaze was set wearily on the forest around them.

He didn't want either of the two youngest too far away in this place. The atmosphere was not normal.

When Eris called, Doug had to stop himself from clamping Hideo's shoulder.

"Right over!" He said after a moment, before beginning to make way towards the girl, Hideo hopefully in tow. "What'cha found, Eris?"

[attr="class","dangertxt"]
The suggestion was posited from Arashi to split up. Doug added that teams of three should suit. A tinge of jealously struck him as the straw hat-loving trainer picked the two youngest for his own three-man cell. Alas, he assumed as the sole representative of the League that he wanted to ensure the safety of what he saw as the most vulnerable.
[break][break]
On the other hand, perhaps he just didn't wish to deal with Andy's strong sense of independence on top of everything else. This left him with the two older adventurers of the group, and both unfamiliar too. While he thought that a poor idea initially, he hadn't pissed anyone off yet. Although, seemed somewhat untrusting of him.
[break][break]
''You had best keep on not knowing too,'' he responded to 's notation of his actual given name. ''Sounds like some crusty codger's name.'' There wasn't time to joust over such embarrassment with the younger boy however. Ruby pointed out the lack of noise, and the Galarian took a moment to glance around in consideration.
[break][break]
''Unusual eh?'' There was an attempt to make it seem as if he knew what he was talking about. As one might imagine, his pampered life didn't offer much expertise on the outdoors and exactly what it was he was supposed to be hearing. His camp on Mt. Pyre was mostly bombarded by the cries of various ghost pokemon.
[break][break]
Silence was actually a blessing in his eyes.
[break][break]
''At any rate we can better hear of something's moving around if nothing else is moving around.'' With that he wandered into the forest, trying to keep the other trio in his sight lines. The pokedex was loosed so that it could float over his shoulder. There was a shameful awareness that despite this being his own plan, he was somewhat out of his element.
[break][break]
Most ghost types are not known for their tracking skills. Besides his shiny rotom, he offered nothing directly to the hunt. If that Ruby lass is right and nothing is roaming around here, that's got to mean some shit is going on. Surely only something like Giratina could scare away a whole ass ecosystem of pokemon,'' he reassured himself as he sauntered behind and his salazzle.
[break][break]
''Oi?'' Hearing the distinct youthful feminine of hurried towards it to see what she had uncovered and found a faded trail of footprints. Leaning over them, Buzzer peered from over his shoulder. ''Oh! Fantastic. Looks like a pokemon, or maybe even two came through here.'' The rotom's eyes on the screen squinted as it floated closer.
[break][break]
''These have been here for some time. I cannot identify them. If it is two pokemon, it is unusual that they would follow in such close proximity to one another.'' Bracing himself on one knee as another thoughtfully tapped his chin, Andy posited a theory. ''What if one was tracking the other one?'' He frowned. ''It could be nothing.''
[break][break]
''Indeed it could be! I cannot tell enough about these prints to offer you a solid suggestion on what made them with their current condition. I am sorry Master Blackadder, Andy.'' Standing to full height and pressing his hands into his pockets, he looked to Eris. ''Good eyes, lass.'' His gaze fell back to the prints.
[break][break]
''Guess we could follow these. Could be a wild zangoose chase though.'' Chocolate eyes now sweeping the rest of the expedition, he continued. ''Any objections?'' The levitating pokedex floated up and down. ''Sounds like an excellent suggestion!'' Andy pinned the overexcited encyclopedia with a glare. ''I didn't mean you, Buzz. You're coming anyway.'' It didn't seem perturbed.
[break][break]
''Oh! Of course!'' Walking along with the previous mystery footfalls, the Blackadder boy tired not to step on any of them. If they led nowhere, they could at least use them to get back to the truck. Some of the trees along the trail bore wounds in the bark a little over six feet up, but being so short, such damage escaped Andy's notice.
[break][break]
Things got a little more difficult the further in they followed. Moss covered rocks and a freshly fallen tree trunk threatened to obscure the prints enough that they would lose them, until finally they did. A hole in the canopy overhead caused by several fallen trees, their trunks nearly entirely obscured by a vast sheet of endless leafy vines swirling about and spreading as far as the eye could see into the shadows of the forest around it.
[break][break]
Kudzu.

[break][break]
One of a few types of vegetation that could easily be considered a pest merely for how fast it grew. As long as it had sunlight to feed upon, it could grow by feet in the course of a day. The tracks ran right into the sheet of green where it disappeared underneath. Not to mention, it obscured the layout of their path ahead. The lumps and folds under the leaves could be nigh unpassable.
[break][break]
''Ah bloody hell. What's all this shit?'' Andy kicked at it. For a moment he considered busting out Incandescent and having the centiskorch's flames curl the leaves aside. But what of the trees underneath? He had already been in the thick of one forest fire at Mauville, and wasn't looking for a repeat of the experience.
[break][break]
[Use an appropriate cutting or nature controlling move to reveal the groups path to them again. No roll needs to be made unless using a fire-type move. In which case, please use the roll command with a result of sixty or better to avoid letting the flames get out of control. A forest fire would impede the group's progress.]

He watched quietly as most of, if not all of the others who’d gathered around began searching—and predictably (almost) nobody managed to find anything.

Well, nobody who wasn’t one of the younger kids at least.

The trek through the forest was stupid slow, the Salazzle sticking her forked tongue out from time to time as she attempted to scent the air. It didn’t take too long before their progress was impeded by severely thick undergrowth—what the hell was going on?

“Gah, what the hell is this?!” he grumbled as he tried to shove some of the excessive foliage away. He wondered idly if one of those—if one of those rumors he’d heard about was responsible for this.

Turning to who he presumed was the party ‘leader’ () he decided to compose himself for a few moments before getting his thoughts together.

“I heard something about some weird-ass being sighted… a couple months ago. There’s like this huge-ass ‘natural shrine’ growing in Oldale because of it. You think that being came by here before we stumbled on this place?” he asked, deciding that it was high time to incinerate—

No wait, maybe incinerating this was a bad idea.

Instead he fished out another containment unit and chucked it forward, revealing his Croconaw. Mercifully, he had something within his arsenal that could do the job for them.

Turning to the Water-type, he gestured, “Try to hack an’ Slash your way through this shit, huh?” which the Croconaw gave a gleeful smirk, before brandishing its sharp claws and proceeding to hack away at the excessive undergrowth with reckless abandon.

Sure, the leaves were flying everywhere in the process, but—hey, it was progress at least, right?



• Croconaw used Slash to hack their way forward!

Hideo hadn’t thought much about the silence; he actually quite liked this amount of quiet. It was something he rarely got, even in his solo walks around late night Slateport. But when brought suspicion on it, he realized that it was off. “You got a point. There should be something making noise out here. Other than us.

Still, he had confidence that whatever caused this, they were safe from; there were six of them, with however many Pokemon between them. As long as they didn’t split up too far, they wouldn’t be in any danger. “Not really a pair if there’s three of us,” Hideo said to ’s suggestion, smirking, “but if you reeeeeally want a couple of us to keep you safe, I’ll stick around ya.

While Rocky tried to find a scent, Andy’s...whatever was speaking again. And it was already doing a very good job of getting information from these steps. “Well, even if we’re gonna find two Pokemon, I’m sure we could handle’em!” Also meant there’d be another Pokemon for them to catch.

It was good that they had the help too; his Lycanroc hadn’t been able to catch a scent, or at least nothing he seemed interested in following, if Rocky brushing against his leg like that meant what it always did. “Guess we could just follow the steps for now,” Hideo said, brushing his hand along Rocky’s head.

And so their trek began. Hideo was pretty much just following everyone else, with Rocky helping keep him on the right path and clearing up any potential tripping hazard. Still, Hideo could feel the path get progressively overgrown under his feet and with every tap of his cane.

Hideo stopped once heard and complain. “Something in the way?” he asked, tapping ahead and noticing the overgrowth rather quickly.

Hideo backed away from overgrowth once someone started with a solution. He did have a Pokemon that would be more effective - his Aggron had some sharp claws. But he just took Rocky out; he’d feel bad if he took his Lycanroc out and didn’t let him do anything. And it seemed like was already handling it well.

Plus, he was certain Rocky’s Tough Claws would be enough to let them move through anyways, albeit slowly. Plus, he had a few ways to just tear through it all in one go.

Hideo just stays out of the way for now and lets everyone else clear the way.

SMOL GANG


She can feel free to call them again if she wants to hang out? That's a rather bold statement she finds herself chewing on as she weighs the pros and cons of such contact. The pros would be that she might not be as lonely and that she may even find good friends she can confide in. The cons would be the fact that everything they build up might just crumble if she fails to keep her affiliation to Rocket a secret...
[break][break]
In the worst case scenarios, she gets betrayed and caught by the League.
[break][break]
But she isn't supposed to worry about things like this. No ordinary kid deals with such pressing issues, much less one of her age. So she tries to focus on the fact that she's been grouped up with and without protest - Perhaps, feeling the need to watch over the youngest of the bunch? Regardless of his reasons, she can at least appreciate how quick the two are to respond to her calls, allowing Hideo's Lycanroc space to work as she wonders if climbing a tree would provide any information.
[break][break]
Probably not, with how dense the vegetation is around here.
[break][break]
There is a little bit of pride that shines with 's compliment, one so rarely felt with how detached she is from the other members of Rocket. With a small nod, Eris urges Reiner onwards, gently combing his mane as he kneads the ground with every pause in their trek. The duo moves in relative silence, habits of wordless travel deeply engrained such that they may pay better attention to their surroundings. And yet, she can't quite say that anything stands out from the overwhelming mix of leaves and wood, save for the thickening of vines and roots beneath their feet.
[break][break]
It's as if the forest is attempting to stop their pursuits, a quick inhale followed by a quiet exhale as she surveys the overgrowth before them. Even if it's easier to raze everything to the ground, there's no real desire in her to control the damage that she may cause. So she defaults to the boring ways, calling upon her Floatzel and pointing to the leaves ahead.
[break][break]
"Thalassa, some help please?"
[break][break]
In a flash, the sea weasel is moving, using Razor Wind to cut through the vines. If she's to hope for the best, they'll be able to break through soon.

Tl;dr - Floatzel uses Razor Wind

The silent wildlife only encouraged Ruby to be just as quiet. It certainly eased her tensions that Hideo also noticed, but she had a sneaking suspicion nobody else took that as seriously as she did. Something had definitely gone down and she was not going to take any more chances. Sending out Grace, her shiny Gardevoir spun as she was summoned. Her Telepathy was sure to be quite useful.

As Andy's Pokedex analyzed the foot prints, Ruby simply remained quiet and followed along, sticking with the small group. Her feet light on the ground, careful not to step on any twigs that might betray her presence. Sure, the group as a whole wasn't traveling stealthily, but it eased at least her one nerves somewhat.

Arashi mentioned something about a strange being, and all she could do is sigh. There were so many mysterious forces at work here in Hoenn, just what did it all really mean? It was like being stuck in a world where beings with godlike power kept descending over and over to cause some new nonsense... and yet the answer always remained. Why?

As the vegetation grew thick, Ruby glanced over at her Gardevoir. With a simple thought, Grace understood and began to contact Amor still flying above. The Togekiss suddenly began to dive down at an incredible speed, Air Slashing the plantlife as it zoomed by, almost like a bomber jet. Anyone who caught a proper glimpse of its face would see a hint of a smirk, almost as if it was reveling in the minor destruction it was causing.

Notes: Ruby is being quiet, and not speaking put loud. Used her Gardevoirs telepathy to command Shadow Togekiss to use Air Slash.

After a surely clever and hilarious reply to 's playful jab that the author totally didn't cheap out on writing cause he's sleepy and uninspired, Doug made a terribly funny comment on their plant problem before sending out his Scizor to assist with the gardening.

The metallic bug was quick to launch to action, snipping at the plants with its massive pincers and somehow managing to cleave through large swaths in the process.


EBC used lazy. It was super effective.
Scizor used Slash!

He had the same wonder as . What was this thick layer of foliage before them? Ivy had been considered a decorative plant back in Galar, but it didn't hold a candle to this stuff. It was out of control, and unlike ivy, it was ugly. The blond purposed a theory about where it had come from, but he couldn't be sure if was unnatural.
[break][break]
''Weird ass being?'' A puzzled look crossed his face. ''This is Hoenn, mate. You're going to have to be more specific with all the off the wall shit that shows up here.'' Throwing out a blue lizard, Arashi had the creature start tearing into the growth. For a moment Andy considered his dhelmise. Anchor Shot would blaze them a nice path.
[break][break]
But who knew what else would be destroyed in the process.
[break][break]
''It's a shitload of vines or something,'' he answered Hideo's query about their blocked path. Thankfully, despite his own deficit of pokemon useful for this task, every other trainer had something to offer. Hideo's lycanroc, Eris' floatzel, Ruby's unusual togekiss, and Doug's scizor all joined in with clearing a path for the group to slowly travel to the other side.
[break][break]
Good thing I didn't try this shit alone. I knew getting some other trainers would be useful. Flashing a suspicious glance at 's gardevoir, he wondered if he should police his thoughts some. 's own love for psychic types always made him a little on edge, especially after the incident with their hatterene.
[break][break]
While the progress was a bit of a slog, the combined efforts of their pokemon cleaved a path through the leafy sea. Once on the other side, Andy had thought to try to find the footprints again. It turned out there would be little need. Mars and gashes in the forest floor, trenches carved into the trunks of the surrounding trees, it all indicated something violet had occurred there.
[break][break]
''Oh! It looks like a battlefield!'' Observed Buzzer. Hovering away from his trainer to survey they damage, he passed over two fallen trees to glance back along their path. ''Theory: All of the terrain we have passed could have looked just like this, and the vines covered it after!'' Andy frowned.
[break][break]
''Just keep looking around.'' His own chocolate eyes combed over the scene, studying the scars in the terrain. Hopefully something here would tell if a fire, or a lightening attack was used, shed some light on what exactly they were looking for. Was Giratina this mindlessly violent? There was no corpse or other remains to indicate something might have been killed here.
[break][break]
''Whatever we're following, it's bloody big.'' While plenty of pokemon could reap destruction well beyond their size, this thus far looked like raw physical thrashing, an outright tantrum. Giratina had been a sizable creature as he recalled. Perhaps they really were on the right path. ''Master Blackadder, Andy! Over here!''
[break][break]
Clumsily throwing one leg and then another over a freshly fallen tree trunk, he approached a rock outcropping in the forest floor. The boulders were smooth, but large, a couple towering as high as ten and twelve feet. Moss covered most save where these two had been gashed and smashed. Claw marks cut deep in the stone. That wasn't all however.
[break][break]
Buzzer hovered up beside a splintered crater in the stone edifice. At its foot in a pile of broken debris of rock was something clearly not from there. Unlike the deep granite grays of the stones around them, these three chunks and shards were a light tan in color, appearing similar to sandstone. Reaching down carefully, Andy grabbed at a chunk that was nearly as large as his chest.
[break][break]
''The hell-!?'' To his surprise, despite its size he lifted from the ground as if it were made of paper mache. Holding it in one hand he tested to ensure he wasn't hallucinating, lifting it up and down. Immediately proffering it to the oldest members of their little expedition, ''it's dense but stupidly light-weight.'' His gaze specifically pinned .
[break][break]
''You think it's megalopolan tech?''

Okay, maybe he should’ve been a bit more specific.

“Had horns, looked like a cow of some sort. For some reason, the ground it was resting over kept growing, and dying, and growing over and over again. Stuck in a kind of loop. Wait, lemme see if I managed to get the data on it—”

As his Croconaw continued to hack and clear away at the path, he poked around the PokéGear he had on. Clearly over the passage of time, the ‘gear’ had become more and more scuffed, worn—he could say it was now ‘his’, in a way.

Approaching the leader of the little expedition again once they’d cleared out the undergrowth, he then blinked at the sight of—huh?

How was that possible?

How was a kid the same size he was able to lift a rock that looked impossibly heavy?

“What the hell?” he blinked.

The destruction around the area wasn’t missed, either. Something had definitely come through here.

His Croconaw and Salazzle eventually caught up, the fire lizard scenting the air, trying to pick out any unfamiliar scents.

Once he was close enough to , he showed the other the picture of the bovine being (Tapu Bulu, not that he knew what it was) and asked, “Does this look familiar to you or anything?”



• Croconaw and Salazzle are idle.

Hideo surely had another joke to throw at , but going into that would interrupt the flow of the thread, so let's move on.

Hideo wasn't too surprised to hear what obstructed their path - it was the middle of the woods, after all. Compared to everyone else's Pokemon, Hideo's Lycanroc barely did anything, mainly clearing up the ground so Hideo could move freely. But as long as he did that much, Rocky would be content.

Though Hideo could breathe a small sigh of relief after getting through those vines, the ground was not getting any easier to walk on. Even before Andy's Rotom explained it, Hideo noticed the gashes in the ground and trees with his cane. Rocky was guiding along an uneven path - something he only did on perilous paths.

Hideo would have to slow down considerably. Traversing torn terrain was not his forte. "I'd be surprised if something small did all of this," he said, focused on just trying not to fall.

By the time he'd fully caught up, was already marveling at the lightweight metal. As much as Hideo wanted to help with his question, he was more curious about what Andy was talking about (also, Hideo wouldn't be much help with understanding a picture - and what he heard of the Pokemon's description didn't sound familiar to him at all).

"Megalopolan?" Hideo had heard about them in rumor, but never much about what they actually were, other than awful people that would kill others with no hesitation. "Aren't those guys cannibals or something? What'd they be doing out here?"

He tapped his cane around until he felt it press against some metal lying on the ground. It felt like solid metal, and the noise it made was his metal cane against metal. Yet when he knelt down to pick up the head-sized chunk, he found it lighter than his cane. "Andy ain't kidding!" Hideo said, tossing it up and catching it like a baseball.  "It's really light, but it doesn't feel hollow."

Hideo has to move slower due to the torn-up terrain, but gets through without incident.
Once he catches up, he picks up a head-sized chunk of the mystery metal

It was a battlefield alright. No shovels had been used to dug up these trenches, though. Crouching, he looked over the damage, brow furrowing slightly. He had come this far out for some fun, but between the silence of the forest and the destroyed landscape they were witnessing, he was beginning to reconsider their presence here.

"Might be an angry Tyranitar." Doug said in response to , rising back to his full height. They were pretty sizable- but more importantly, capable of physical destruction well beyond their already impressive size. "... Wouldn't explain' the flower field, though."

Back to the drawing board.

Following behind Andy, the tall youth offered , and each a hand in getting over the tall tree trunks. Hideo and Eris for obvious reasons- Ruby due to being vertically challenged.

Moments later, together with Hideo and Arashi, Doug hovered over Andy's shoulder and stared at the bizarre sandstone the smaller youth had found within a crater in the area, tilting his head as Andy directed a question at him.

Hideo spoke before he did, prompting Doug to reach over to ruffle his head.

"That's a common misconception. Cannibals eat'eir own species." Doug said simply, wondering who had thought it a good idea to tell Hideo the gruesome details.

As Hideo tossed the rock up and down like a baseball, Doug casually stretched his arm, palming the rock with his large mitts like it were a basketball.

He released a whistle. It was bizarre, feeling this thing out. Large but not heavy. Light and yet dense.

"Would be pretty darn bizarre tech, don'cha think?" Doug said turned the rock around, tilting a brow. "Megalopolans' usually brought stuff with a specific Military use in mind."

They were an invading army after all, not a bunch of tourists.

"If it is though, we best be careful. It wouldn't have been made to look like a rock for no reason." He said, placing the thing back on the floor carefully.

Military tech made to look like it belonged in the background... Hopefully they hadn't just picked a bomb. Probably not, given the place.

The young man's gaze came upon the image of Tapu Bulu being displayed on 's whatever, a grin tugging at his lips.

"Oh, that's Bulu. What about'im?" Doug said, scratching at his chin. "He's been getting super popular since began helpin' out with recovery efforts 'round Hoenn."

[break]
SMOL GANG


With the foliage slowly thinning out, Thalassa begins to tire, a low growl rumbling in her throat as she waddles over to her trainer. Reaching out to give the Floatzel a pat on the head, Eris reaches into her pocket to retrieve a small snack, gifting it to the sea weasel before gently tapping her pokeball against her forehead.
[break][break]
"Thanks for the help." She whispers, tucking the orb back into the safety of her pocket. There's probably a lot more that she can do to compensate Thalassa for her efforts, but something tells her that the forest isn't the best place to find a stream to swim in. Perhaps they could head to the beach sometime? Would any of them be interested in such an activity?
[break][break]
Maybe not.
[break][break]
Her attention is drawn to the strange markings all around them, tracks sunk deep into the soil, gashes as wide as her body dripping from the trees above. Whatever it is that they were tracking, it clearly possessed some form of aggressive behaviour - Was it protecting its territory? Or simply rampaging through the area? It is with these thoughts that she pulls out her own Pokegear to snap a picture of the strange marks for future records.
[break][break]
Hanging on tight to Reiner's fur, Eris barely flinches as the Luxray leaps over the fallen trees without the slightest hint of strain, a small smile offered to for his attempt to assist as they continue on their trek. But just as she reckons she's seen the worst of the damage, she notices the oddity in stone. Unlike the rest of the mossy overgrowth, the two stones have been slashed with tremendous strength, the marks of a beast carved into their bodies as traces of moss that once grew upon them seem to have disappeared.
[break][break]
"Whatever came through can't be that far ahead..." Realisation hits her like a blast of icy winds, Reiner's caution now heeded as she climbs down from his back. Curiosity begs for her to step closer to the splintered crater, her attention flickering over the web-like cracks as she snaps another picture of the scene. Then, she gets closer to the rocks, gingerly reaching out to poke the oddly-coloured shards before daring to pick one up herself.
[break][break]
"It's not any mineral or rock I'd recognise. At least, not one that occurs naturally." Her thoughts are placed with a quiet hum, the girl spinning the piece over and around as she traces her finger over the material. While 's theory of Megalopolans is an interesting one, she can't quite find herself agreeing with the suggestion - When it comes to relentless invaders of the region, where there's an action, there must be some kind of motivation that fuels it. If they've stumbled into the remnants of what was thought to be exterminated, then they may have just found themselves in a whole world of trouble.
[break][break]
"For Tapu Bulu to have come rampaging through the area, we would probably have heard some rumours of a bell ringing through the forest. Its usually peaceful too, so for a pokemon like it to cause all this destruction... It was either facing a really dangerous opponent or we should consider another possibility."
[break]
[break]
Tl;dr -[break]
Thalassa is recalled[break]
Eris takes pictures of the markings around the area and the crater, then examines the strange rock[break]
She also argues against the possibility of it being Tapu Bulu's work due to its peaceful nature and behaviour of ringing its bell to warn others of its presence

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]Ruby offers a quick smile to Amor the Togekiss as it flies up ahead again, it's sharp eyes on constant alert, searching for anything that might harm their trainer. Meanwhile, her other two pokemon were doing something quite similar, but less physically. Her Hatterene and Gardevoir would simply be searching the general area, with their psychic senses both. Surely anything else out there would be sensed before it was seen... Right?[break][break]

Walking along with the rest of the group, Ruby's own eyes gazed across what only could have been described as a battlefield. Something had fought here, something big too. It was unfortunately said to be a rather common sight, even if the specifics were always different. After the war, the aftermath of huge pokemon battles was something Hoenn was still trying to recover from. She'd never forget how absolutely devastated Meteor Falls appeared to be directly after the battle, nor how hurt she had been. The memory of burns all along her back made her physically shudder as she slowly pushed past and walked onto the battlefield.[break][break]

As lifted up the massive rock, Ruby's eyes opened up wide at the sight. That certainly was unnatural, no doubt about that. As everyone else began to discuss the rock, or what could have caused this tragedy, she began to investigate the claw marks themselves. Perhaps they'd be able to gather some understanding of how large the Pokemon was if she could learn just how deep they were. [break][break]

"Guys... Whatever we're dealing with, isn't something we're prepared for. We're stumbling through the woods, after a pokemon that did this." She'd just wave her hand across the landscape, making her point easily known as she spoke quietly. "My pokemon are already on alert searching, but I think we should prepare ourselves for combat too. I have a sneaking suspicion if we find what we're searching for, there's not going to be a pleasant conversation."

Looking over at the proffered screen of 's phone, he immediately recognized the creature as the selfsame one that had attacked the recent festival. He, along with a good number of other trainers, had fought against until it was pacified and made nice with . Doug mentioned all this at the sight of it however, which was convenient as Andy couldn't remember the name exactly.
[break][break]
''Yeah, that thing's been chilling with big red since we wailed on it at the festival. I doubt it would be rutting around out here.'' was interested in his theory of megalopolans and their potential presence in the forest. ''They were all over Mauville during the war. There used to be plenty of stragglers around. I thought the League had cleaned most of them up though.''
[break][break]
While explained the difference between cannibal and carnivorous, the Galarian considered what he had said about their purpose here being only in the interest of conquest. Maybe there was a scouting outpost or spy station of some sort. It would be disappointing if the result was so mundane. He might enjoy killing megalopolans, but he was more interested in making contact with Giratina to satisfy his curiousity.
[break][break]
''Aye, lass,'' he said agreeing with . ''I think we can hammer the last nail in the coffin of the Bulu theory.'' When the girl mentioned whatever it was had to be close, a brazen smile crept across his face. ''Ain't a better way to know what it is for sure than to see it with our own eyes.'' was cautious, and rightfully so. His smile disappears into pursed lips.
[break][break]
We're so close. If it really is Giratina, we can't turn back now. I have to keep pushing them before anyone pusses out. Before any plotting occured however, Buzzer called to them. ''Everyone! Hello! I have located more tracks.'' While the lot of youths had been theory crafting, the shiny pokedex had been continuing to survey the surroundings.
[break][break]
''What you got, Buzz?'' Making his way over, there were footprints like before but these were much clearer. ''These footprints are fresher, Master Blackadder, Andy. No more than a day old, if not less!'' The boy bent down over them. There were clawed prints, like that of a bird, the paws, similar to that of a dog or cat. Was it really two pokemon after all?
[break][break]
''Given the depth of these, I can postulate that these footprints, despite their difference came from the same pokemon! I have nothing of that sort in my memory, Master Blackadder, Andy!'' Standing, he followed them a little ways in a daze of curiosity. 's salazzle and 's lycanroc would soon pick up a scent. Now, even if the tracks disappeared, their noses could lead them.
[break][break]
As and if they continued, the terrain, while no less forested, became somewhat rockier. Boulders of various size jutted from the ground randomly, and occasionally there was a natural fissure. Sometimes the bottom was easily seen. Sometimes there was only an abyss. The smell became more pungent, soon easily detectable by even the humans of their little search party. It was an unmistakeable fragrance.
[break][break]
Death.

[break][break]
What's more, the curious menagerie of 's entourage would feel the foreboding presence of something powerful nearby. A landmark of note would come to jut from the earth in the distance. A precipis of rock that would rise some twenty five feet into the treeline, a dark cave under its highest point. As a shallow hillside descended from the opening in a rough beaten path, there was a lip of a small indentation, all shrouded within the cliff's shadow.
[break][break]
Bold interest overpowering his disgust at the stench, Andy climbed, nose buried in the crook of his elbow to try and escape the odor. As he crested the lip, he came to a halt. Here there was a little pool in the hillside. Within was a repulsive collection of corpses. Some were pokemon of various types, more notable were the humanoids. While all were in various stages of advanced decay, and obscured by viscera, those that had encountered them before would identify them as megalopolan, or previously megalopolan.
