Not every mission was going to be wrangling and subduing wild pokémon gone wilder.

Sometimes rangers helped with the more common problems.

Like bidoof biting through the ropes holding together the log-rafts the evacuation teams of Pacifidlog kept at the ready in case of emergency.

The little nibblers liked to show up at dawn in droves to take the wood for their own projects so today and trio of rangers would be scaring them away.

Meanwhile the evac teams treated the ropes with a natural repellent.

Sénon turned to his backup before putting in his mouthpiece; "Ready to dive?"

Bo really appreciated that they did not have to wrangle such bullshit on every single mission. He would do it if he had to, but days like these, presumably—the sort of chill ones—were taken with a breath of ease, rather than boredom.

Plus, he didn’t hate being in the water.

“Yes, sir. Let’s get it done.”

He put his mouthpiece in as well, casting a look over to the other who'd been dispatched with them. The capsules containing Dewgong and Cradily were secured on a belt. He shifted his diving gear around a hair more comfortably, hooking fingers a moment as he waited for the go-ahead.

Tallulah would release her Mudkip, the little thing eager to be on the job and in the water. she was already in it, her diver's gear already suited up on. "ready" she says mostly to Sénon Game , for he was in charge here as the Head Ranger. she glances at boruta maher , an unknown personal face. but she tries to remember if she's seen him around.

it was coming up blank.

oh well, plenty of time to introduce oneself after the job was done. Hopscotch paddles around Tallulah as she lets go of the wooden raft's edge. scanning the water, she does not see the Bidoof right away; but they could appear at any opportunity. she simply waits for the orders and action accompanying it.

All things considered with three experienced rangers on the job it was in all likely hood the bidoof weren't going to show at all.

It was more important that their group simply protect the divers who had to treat the ropes.

Seemingly it would have been smarter to pull the log rafts from the water and treat them on land where the bidoof would be less willing to come after the logs.

Apparently, the solvent they were applying worked best when applied submerged.

With a gesture he sent off Colt and Maher to quickly patrol the west bank and return, while he would look east.

With the command given, he descended into the water. The coolness of it was a welcome break from the heat. He never minded the dives, and marine life was cool to look at, even though he’d never caught many of his own.

Figuring Dewgong might enjoy the trip, he reached for her pokeball. A beam of red shot out in through the depths to release her, and she seemed to smile at him, and gave a bubbling coo before swimming gracefully ahead.

Once adjusted to the right level, he looked back at Colt to make sure she was ready before beginning to patrol in their assigned direction.

under the waves, it is quiet.

she hadn't been on many underwater missions yet, even if she had been trained for them. the equipment is familiar but foreign. Hopscotch paddles around her head as she takes Sénon Game 's order and patrols the area.

she spots the workers but no Bidoof. not yet anyway. they could still come if desperate enough. giving a thumbs up to boruta maher , she would drift back to the two men. her Mudkip looks below, spotting deeper sea creatures.

Sweeping the east bank Sénon waded under the water looking out in the dark expanses of the sea.

The twice sighting of Kyogre sent a shiver down his spine.

He couldn't fathom having any level of comfort calling the abundant and abysmal sea his domain.

Even collapsing space(-time) wasn't as terrifying as the unknowns of the sea.

Once his eyes (and hunger for the morbid) were full he began to return to the meeting place.

Swimming over a old anchor of some kind a wayward touch from his fins wrested the 'anchor' from the murky waters exposing the head crest an angry gyarados that stared down the Head Ranger for only a moment...

Before swallowing him whole and snaking off towards the sea.

They’d swim west as instructed, and Bo split off to patrol the bank the perimeter of the bank. Tynamo and Remoraid swam nearby in schools, eyeing curiously before darting away. The smaller white fish moved in synchronized waves, flashing in submerged sunlight like dancing silk.

The ocean in the morning was beautiful, but like so many others, he was stricken with a universal fear of the man-eating deity lurking in the depths. He hadn’t been at Sootopolis, but the flow of stories was unending.

In the end, Boruta found nothing out of the ordinary along the coast, so he turned back around to meet up again with Colt and Game. Unfortunately, before he could arrive at the proper spot, up ahead he witnessed the horrific sight of Gyarados’s consumption of the head ranger. It was just like Kyogre, and that famous captain.

Eyebrows jumped on his forehead, looking for Colt again before daring a pursuit. He pointed, signaling for Dewgong to speed ahead through the depths with its AQUA JET.

everything slowed down.

Tallulah would attempt to swim back, seeing Sénon Game ahead of her. she'd lift a hand to wave to him only - for the Gyarados to chomp. the woman let out a silent yet horrified exclamation. directing Hopscotch to Surf, she'd grasp the Mudkip's tiny paw as he shot forward.

the natural rock formations around Hoenn's ocean were ripped apart when the Mudkip uses Rock Slide. they glowed near the Gyarados before shaking free, tumbling down. the intention was to wind the fierce water type, allowing Senon to be spit back up -

but there was no doubt in her mind he'd be fighting tooth and claw to get back himself.

The crushing pressure of being mouthed by a sea dragon was abrupt but the real trouble (and ass-saving) came from the scuba gear, mainly the oxygen tank on his back.

Gyarados were big, but they weren't that big.

It could fit the whole of him in its mouth, but it couldn't swallow him, certainly not with that tank on his back.

So, true to its ornery nature it began to attempt to crush the ranger in its mouth.

A nearing Dewgong was able to close the distance but a wayward SURF attack would cover the pursuing rangers in an underwater torrent of muddy water.

Hot on Sénon's rescue, Dewgong was cut off from the communication of its trainer for now, it had to try to think on its own.

bo caught sight of the dragon—and the head ranger there in its toothy maw—just before a wave of sand clouded outward towards them. instinctively, he shut his eyes, even though he had goggles on. being the brother of CIAN MAHER , he’d had many a sandstorm hit him in the face. there were reflexes, now.

still, he swam through it, trying to fight the SURF it was carried on, and hoping that his dewgong was on the other side making quick work of what looked to have the potential to be game over.

the sea lion bolstered herself with a SAFEGUARD before shooting through the water again, a brave TAKE DOWN aimed for the throat of the beast in hopes to knock its victim loose.

The dewgong made a gallant effort, the blow causing the gyarados to cough up the redhead.

-but, didn't spit him out.

A human arm forced its way out of the mouth of the offended sea dragon but that would be as far as he got as the gyarados held tight its jaw and swam away.

Whats more was Tallulah Colt was need of second aid, if not first aid.

But at least the original mission was complete. Those Bidoofs wouldn't be a problem now.
