EXPOSITION



REPORTS HAVE COME IN about the ashy route east of Fallarbor. Although the locale is known to grow hardy trees that can withstand the harsh volcanic ash, the thick grasses and foliage have grown lush and full. To make matters more suspicious, covert Rockets have discovered the appearance of a white tree beginning to grow in a remote corner of one of the fields.

REPORT B



MAX # OF PARTICIPANTS:[break]3-4 ROCKETS, 3 LEAGUE.


Raid the Glass Workshop found on the route by any means necessary. A powerful source of energy has been detected there by Rocket scientists. Should you enter the store, one would discover a peculiar thing: a hearth powered not by flame, but by some ever-glowing orb of searing heat.[break][break]

OBJECTIVES

  • Threaten/silence/use/murder at least 1 Glass Workshop worker(s).
  • Using Rocket Pokemon, set up a trap for the League.
  • The League must trigger at least 1 trap.
  • At least 1 trainer must be injured by fire/burning/heat.
  • Rescue 1 civilian (player or npc) that gets caught in the crossfire.
  • 🌳 Have use his audio recorder in some capacity (e.g. a recording made in the aftermath of the event).
  • Engage in physical combat with another trainer.
  • 🌳 Use AVATAR powers at least 3 times collectively.
  • Use glass flutes and soot sacks in creative ways for combat.
  • Destroy the hearth accidentally or on purpose to "release" the orb of heat. Consequently, the orb will "explode" and should hit every single one participating and potentially destroy the workshop itself!
  • 🌳 's AVATAR powers will allow him to hear a VICTINI'S CRY when near the hearth/when it explodes. Reference this in some capacity.
  • End the thread on the 5th page with everyone retreating.


Objectives marked by the 🌳 are special objectives unlocked by the presence of particular characters.[break][break][break][break]

Chu-e sat on a bench nearby.

The walking trail up to the place was fairly deserted at the moment. Checking his watch, he counted down the minutes until his team would arrive. He was a bit early, expected to be to make a few preparations, a Gardevoir sitting next to him and playing on his phone, her head down and shoulders hunched. This one had both of her hands intact- not the same one from his attack on the sub.

Unlike the last few missions he had been on, this time he wasn't disguised- fully, anyway. A new set of clothes he wouldn't wear again, not his normal style, and a wig that made his hair a little longer and more chestnut brown. A mask covered his nose and lower face; not unusual in this area due to the ash that swirled in the air.

Kicking his feet, Chu-e glanced at their target and waited.



- Chu-e is waiting for his team outside and nearby inconspicuously
- Not in full drag but mildly disguised lmao

❝Do we have an issue?❞

A cursory glance over his shoulder proves that Fernando is indeed alone at the Workshop’s entrance.

, sitting well outside the doorframe, is acknowledged when Fernando steps through the trail but he pays the trainer no mind. Why should he?

Knock, knock.

A loud rapping beats against the wooden door. It creaks open a few inches when the worker peers outside, curious with wonder, but guarded with hunched eyebrows. “Good afternoon,” Fernando greets, peering past the aproned apprentice.

“Fernando Silph,” is an introduction that doesn’t need to be made. “I’m here about the phenomenon.” He doesn’t go into detail, as per usual, but the hint is enough to put the employee on high alert.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he refuses with a grunt.

[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qr4vnoRffD1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player]
“I think you do,” Silph blows, a string of foggy air exhaled from his lips with intentional malice. The breeze is awkward and unwelcomed but the man has no chance to protest. A breath later brings about a mind-numbing HEADACHE that causes the man to stumble back, clutching his temple.

“I do hope I’m not interrupting,” Fernando whispers as he lets himself in. The lobby is both quaint and unattended. The rest of the workers must be inside, deep behind the counter, where the magic happens.

In a daze-like state, the apprentice relocks the door, unwillingly forgetful that he’s not to let anyone in.

notes:

- fernando walks past on his way up to the workshop.
- knocks on the door, alone.
- apprentice turns him away.
- subtilty uses his AVATAR POWERS to change their mind.
- enters the workshops.
- the apprentice relocks the door.

An almost exuberant plum-wigged head scientist would arrive shortly after had passed by the underboss, missing her good friend by a hair.

Eyes were violet, but their true disguise lied in a well-rested look, the belly of her mind having just digested the pleasant dreams of a Snorunt. The pep in her step was dressed in unassuming gray sneakers. Her arms were bare, out the sleeves of a jarringly white tank top. A plain black mask covered most of her face.

She eventually reached the underboss and his Gardevoir. Her eyes squinted briefly to count fingers before addressing in her typical fashion. “Sir.”

Lulu would likely be unrecognizable to someone who had seen so little of her, even up close. However, a heavy accent would easily identify her through the mask.

No wigs, no masks, no disguises.

Although Katherine once certainly prided herself for keeping a surprisingly large collection of masks, they were a thing of the past. Through no choice of her own, she maneuvered successfully to build up a certain reputation for herself inside the region, and with her recent promotion? She solidified it. Naturally, despite being here for Rocket business, it's no surprise that she feels comfortable stepping into the workshop in broad daylight.

She lightly taps her Bluetooth earphone before a whisper parts through her lips, one just loud enough for the words to be picked up for transmission.

”I am going in now. I won't be able to keep the earphone on me, so proceed with caution.” Her warning is given before the earphone is tossed to the ground and she steps on it with the heel of her shoe, crushing it to bits and pieces. No more contact with her allies. Somehow, that alone makes her feel a lot more comfortable.

Smeargle stands by her side, peering at the crushed earphone as if requesting to fix it - but Katherine merely shakes her head in disapproval. It doesn't need to worry about it. As for the rest of her team, Caliburn remains in his Pokeball whereas Giratina resides inside her.

That doesn't change often, really.

Upon reaching the entrance, Katherine allows her hand to turn intangible to phase through the door - just enough so her hand can reach both the lock and the handle. The door is unlocked without a wasted moment, and then, the two enter. She expects confusion and comes prepared for panic, thus, Smeargle is ordered to paint a wave of HYPNOSIS that inflicts a deep, irresistible desire for an uninterrupted slumber. It consumes the employee's mind. First , and now Katherine.

What a poor fellow. He crashes on the counter, already snoring.

”Ah. You're also here, Fern,” she isn't startled or even slightly annoyed by his presence. ”Don't judge the sloppiness, please. I didn't think you'd be here.”

Did she forget something?

“... Oh.”

“We have company. I believe they haven't entered the building yet.”


tl;dr

- avatar power used to enter the workshop.
- smeargle uses HYPNOSIS to knock out the employee. good night!
- talks to fern once she sees him.

The sound of the lock coming undone haunts him in a rise of goosebumps. He whirls around in panic, instinctively releasing a Pokeball at the expectation of conflict. What he finds is an unexpected surprise, but one that is welcomed all the same.

“Ah. Yes.”

The thud of the apprentice announces the appearance of his own Smeargle. Its tail lashes out in a wave of dried blue paint, matching colors ushering in a wave of irony. He waves his hand at the Pokemon, a prompt to scuttle off in a bid to go hide in a cabinet. It’s job is to observe until the moment is right—a trap laid out not out of malice but in preparation for their extraction.

“Friends?”

A sense of urgency carries his steps as he wisps behind the counter and an assortment of glass flutes. The store front leads into a hallway with many rooms. At its end is a clear view of the garage that houses the glass maker’s kilm. Several employees weigh in on a single punty, roasting their work within the furnace. A fine glass sphere radiates searing heat, an uncanny sight in the absence of flames.

“How much time do we have?"

notes:

- on high alert when he hears someone else come in.
- brings out his smeargle preemptively.
- it's just katherine.
- the smeargle fucks off to go hide in a cabinet.
- goes behind the counter and deeper into the workshop.
- at the end is the hearth and more employees.

Katherine finds Fernando’s hurried release to be both funny and cute. The first, mostly due to the fact that it was rare to see him taken by surprise, and the latter… Well, for the same reason - but more due to his overly serious, and stern personality. It makes him a tiny bit more human in her eyes. A man and not just a machine.

“Those sunglasses look good on you,” she teases, completely disregarding the councilman’s Smeargle as it scurries off. Instead, she steps further into the room and closes some of the distance between the Silph and herself.

“Mmhm. Friends. The rowdy type, too. But you have nothing to worry about,” she reaches for his right lapel with her hand, a digit sliding down across it just firmly enough to press against his toned chest. She contemplates the idea of phasing the finger through his suit just to startle him but makes no decision yet. “I’ll be right there in case you need some help.”

That was one way to pass the time, wasn’t it?

And before things can even escalate, Fernando escapes from her. Naturally, she follows his steps with her own Smeargle in tow. However, it’s evident that unlike him, Katherine wasn’t rushing herself just yet.

“A couple of minutes, no more than five.”


tl;dr

- almost laughs at fern, but then doesn't.
- kat's being, you know, herself. she messes with fern's suit for a bit before he walks away with her in tow.
- gives an assumption about the amount of time they have, but she could be wrong!

    Spying was weird. According to Rocket's intel, there was something hinky going on in Route 113. A powerful energy signature emanating from a locally owned Glass Workshop.
According to the League's counter-intel Rocket was sending a crack team to investigate this little mom-and-pop shop, so the League had sent a counter-squad to check it out too.
    But if the League knew about Rocket's intel, then there was no doubt that Rocket's counter-counter-intel was good enough to know that the League knew about...Zac stopped thinking about it. It was safer to assume that everyone knew everything. 
    As far as Zac was concerned, the 'Ash to Mouth' glass workshop was a fine, upstanding establishment that sold legalized, recreational glassware made from locally sourced soot. Could the medicinal effects of their flutes really be the influence of some powerful, ever-burning orb? It seemed strange, but if the counter-counter-counter-intel was to be believed...
    Zac approached the workshop, avoiding the main pathway so that he could walk through the lush Spring grasses that covered the area. His Grassy Terrain surged around him, and purple orchids poked out from amongst the foliage. He stepped back onto the main path, and didn't see any suspicious characters as he approached the workshop.
    He stopped just short of the door. Grass and weeds curled around his feet, sliding up the frame as he waited on knocking. Was that a noise from inside? 


Zac approached the workshop
Zac used Grassy Terrain (to...make grass grow)
Zac hasn't knocked on the door (yet)

Chu-e's eyes crinkled up, mouth blocked off as it was to hide his smile; it was to show he was pleased to see . "Miss Flint." He patted the bench next to him- the hand phasing through the Gardevoir who didn't seem bothered. Almost as if she wasn't sitting there at all. Chu-e opened his mouth to say more when a sharp static in his ear made him wince. He glanced at the phone screen the Gardevoir was holding. Whatever pleased look dropped, the ear piece plucked from his ear to be looked at like a particularly ugly bug before he dropped it in the dirt next to him.

Another movement caught his eye on the screen.

"... Miss Flint. Wait here." Chu-e stood, pulling his phone out as he did so. A quick series of texts were sent, which both Lulu and would find on their phones.

"Zac!" He called out, waved, and pulled the wig from his head and mask down to show his friend who he was. After he was sure that had seen, he dropped the wig on the ground. The mask would stay down for now but he would need to put it up soon; he really did need it to block out the soot and ash.

Chu-e would wave him over, away from the door. After waiting for him to approach, he would give an almost sad look to the other. "So... you're not out here just for a nice stroll, are you?" And the way he said it meant that he wasn't either. After a moment, he reached up to give the other a light pat on the arm if he would allow.

"Zac...." A pause. He kept his voice low. "My team was never, and still isn't, planning on hurting any of these people. If you'll still be willing after this... I'd like to still be friends. But for your sake, pretend you don't know me. Don't go easy on me." Then he would step away, turn to go back to Lulu.

    "Sorry mate, you know I could never hurt you," Zac said, looking down at Ki. The forget-me-nots that had been climbing the doorframe wilted, and a surge of green life energy flowed into , healing any injuries he might have. "Stay safe buddy."
    Zac knocked on the door and let himself in, trailing greenery. Inside there is a vaguely familiar man lying face-down on the cold, wooden floor behind the counter. "Dave?" Zac asked, running around the display case to crouch beside the apprentice. Now, Zac wasn't a regular of this establishment, but he had met Dave a few times. Enough to remember his name. Zac rolled the man over, propping him on his side. The man looked sound asleep, though his face was bruised, possibly from the fall to the ground. He wore a nametag that said Andrew. 
    Zac's healing flowed into 'Dave', and the bruise of the man's face faded. The man remained asleep, but he breathed a little easier.
    Ki was still outside, which means Rocket isn't in here yet. 
Zac looked down the hallway that lead to the workshop. So who's already here? The floors and walls creaked, sprouting with new growth as Zac headed towards the workshop, Pokeball in hand.


Zac entered the workshop
Healed Dave (Andrew) the apprentice (still asleep)
Headed down the hallway, Pokeball at the ready

as people gathered in the front of the workshop it left the back of the store completely open and free of suspicion as a few employees were busy chopping a few stumps of wood and setting them aside for future use. while word spread of the glass workshop's newest way to make glass didn't require firewood it was just good sense to have a surplus of it just in case they needed to fire up even more kilns to work. as such large quantities of firewood was piled up alongside their backyard, which made for a perfect hiding spot.

from behind one stack of logs a green helmet peeked out from them. while pokkenger himself had no real connections to the league he was at least privy to sneak his way into different places to obtain such information, also he did have a few friends who did work for them that he could plead with for the same info, so he at least had a small candle light to help him see through the darkness of the unknown world of bigger things around him. that and sometimes he was just lucky.

when he read about a strange tree sprouting up in the route he was reminded of the incident in lilycove and how he was almost a prisoner of Rocket before he managed to get away from them (somehow). if it was the same kind of tree then it was worth checking it out, after all last time he was trying to fight off a bunch of people trying to grab at it so he was convinced that this new tree wouldn't attract undesirables. still he couldn't just go rushing in, so for now he would keep his distance to see if he could sneak his way inside or if someone was brave enough to try and attack this place. after all it had its own little curiosity that kaz sort of wanted to see for himself.

as an employee turned to face in his direction the masked hero quickly released his minior from its pokeball and gestured to the incoming employee. the minior flew out of their hiding spot at a quick pace, catching the staff member off guard and shooing him away from the pile as it took off to the sky to float above the glass workshop and orbit around its chimney.

tldr;
    -pokkenger is hiding behind the workshop!
    -sends out minior to get an aerial view of things

A sluggish man with ruffled dirty blonde hair was trudging around the outskirts of the workshop. His eyes, hidden behind behind gold rimmed circular glasses, occasionally scanned the area. While the young grunt had his own bit of experiences with missions, this was his first big BIG calling. In fact, he was still processing the fact that he was being sent out on the same mission of that of his underboss and Rocket's head scientist???

"Oh mother of wooloo..." The black mask muffled his silent curse as he noticed a large figure approach the scene. The man appeared to be Hercules himself, strutting in with blinding heroism. Ezra briefly questioned his odd relationship with his underboss, but that train of thought was swiftly curtailed by the buzz of his phone.

A text.

With a curt nod the man shoved his phone back into his pocket and began making his way towards the last two stragglers outside the entrance of the shack. Thoughts spun in his head as the pressure of mission weighed down on his back with immense force. There was no telling what the future entailed for him.

Finally, Ezra reached the other two Rockets. Upon seeing , a flash of red crossed his cheeks (though this was shielded from sight, thanks to the mask), as memories of their last encountered seeped out from the back of his head. No, that was irrelevant right now. He shook his head. "Psssst....it's me." He offered them a reassuring wink, "Better this time, right?"



TLDR;
- Ezra has arrived! (in disguise oOoOoO)
- Thought Zac was Hercules
- Read text
- is now w/ Lulu and Chu-e

Chu-e watches as goes inside with a sigh.

His Gardevoir returns to his side then, the Double Team copy that had been on the bench fading away. Chu-e gave a tight smile to and . "Remember the new orders." Is what he says as he takes his burner cell phone back out. He clicks off the stream he had been watching and sends another text. He keeps his hand in his pocket when he shoves the phone inside, grabbing the detonator within. With a sigh, the button is smashed under his thumb.

Inside, a pink Lopunny drops from the rafters in front of Zac. She smashes the cell phone that had been in her hand, the camera going dark. David/Andrew is grabbed and hurled at Zac before she lifts her arms up, her back to the red haired human, a Mirror Coat spread out in front of her.

The building shakes as explosions ripple. The left side of the building crumbles and plumes of smoke and debris trail into the air. He sighs as he watches the flames start to lick up a few of the wooden panels. The mask is pulled back over his nose to protect from the smoke.

"Let's go make ourselves look good."



- a lot happened
- the building is blown the fuck up
- the gardevoir with chu-e was a FAKE
- lopunny hops from where she was at inside to use Mirror Coat to protect the npc and zac

Static gnashed at her eardrums following ’s voice, and the startled scientist followed suit when tossed his own device to the ground. Eyes passed from the elite's entry, to the underboss as he neared a vaguely familiar gym leader; , Tapu Bulu’s new avatar, from the festival. Thin brows raised as the underboss’s wig was tossed to the ground. A glance at the text received only briefly distracted her from their interaction—until arrived.

Her eyes peered up at the grunt, just as surprised to see someone she didn’t recognize. No words would greet him until had returned, acknowledging the straggler first. Words still didn’t come, then, as the blush on ’s face caused her lips to go flat behind her mask. She side-eyed her boss suspiciously. Still fucking new hires.

The time on her own burner phone was glanced, and her heart surged like the charge which exploded from a couple of shock tubes—a bonding collaboration between and herself. Beautiful. His perversions were forgotten.

They went in.

A pokeball was lobbed into the air with zeal, and a Gardevoir then joined them. The pace was quick.

A foot went first, hand assuming the handle might be hot. She stepped around some glass. Cough cough. “Get them out and make sure everyone’s alright.”

The saintly creature went off in search of any fallen, eventually finding Dave/Andrew unconscious. Seeing as the employee seemed much less capable, was relieved of his slumbering companion, who was then TELEPORTED outside of the building.

Lulu held an arm up over her already masked face, glaring through increasing smoke as she looked for others. As she did so, unbeknownst to her, the shadow of Darkrai went to get a lay of the land. It maneuvered invisibly through shreds of darkness, and deeper into the workshop, perhaps eventually locating and from its hiding place if they remained in the building. However, it kept on the move, vigilantly watching, protective as it was.

TLDR:
• Removes earpiece
• Watches Zac and Chu-e
• Doesn’t know what to think about Ezra
• Bomb goes off
• Gardevoir is released
• Enters building with team
• Gardevoir rescues Dave/Andrew by TELEPORTNG him outside
• Darkrai is watching in shadows, doing rounds

    A blur of pink, a crunch, a flash of protective light, and an explosion that Zac felt through his whole body despite the last-second shield. Zac was thrown to the ground, and as he blinked away at the light and the ringing, someone grabbed Dave and disappeared.
    Zac forced himself to his feet, back against the broken wall as he got his bearings. The workshop was ruined. Smashed wood, shattered glass, and spreading flames. Gotta stop that fire, Zac thought, the single thought penetrating his haze. He let go of the Pokeball he had been clutching, and it opened on the ground, releasing a chubby little creature that was mostly cream and pink scales, with a dash of stubby wings. "Kibou, water," Zac said, and the creature 'sped' into action. It moved like a rubbery pigeon, bounce-hop-slide-flapping its way deeper into the house, and quenching the fires with its Aqua Tail. "Look out for R-" Zac stopped himself. "anybody that looks suspicious."
    Zac's head was starting to clear, and his Grassy Terrain was coming back in full force. Bags of dried oregano that had been stored behind the front counter sprung back to life, the fresh stalks and leaves breaking free of their plastic bags and spreading across the damp floor. Zac pulled the life from them, and the fog lifted. His bruises healed, his concussion was cured, and he flushed with strength and purpose. He kicked away a piece of shattered glass and stamped three times.
    Man this went to shit quickly, Zac thought, as he stormed down the corridor after Kibou. Beneath him, the foundations of the house began to shudder.
