MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Sept 1, 2021 13:01:39 GMT

✦ KUSOGAKI

Wearing her official outfit as a police cadet, Tara arrives the Mt Pyre after hearing the report of a missing athlete for two days. The inn owner who noticed the disappearance of the said athlete quickly report the case which leads to the deployment of Tara to this place. However, there is a problem - Scaling a mountain path like this alone would be a foolish errand, especially if the said person has no experience on that particular thing. Hence, that is why the PD hires a guide that is known to be able to find the route from known to a secret one.

"Now where is this man?" Tara muttering to herself, tapping her feet to the ground impatiently while waiting at the supposed meeting point. If it is true that he has been missing for two days, this search is a race against time. "If it wasn't for it to be a mountain path like this, I would have gone by myself" Tara mutters to herself.

It wasn’t every day that he was called out to Mount Pyre on official work.

Most of the time, him being out on the field meant he was in the Lilycove area or somewhere deep inland. But for him to come to the place where the dead were never really at peace, well…

There was something definitely wrong about the area.

And as always, he would arrive on Air Metagross, the shining silver beast streaking across the skies before coming down to a landing near a redhead.

“Sorry I’m a bit late. I had to secure a first aid kit, just in case whoever we find needs immediate care,” he remarked as he slid off Ro’s back and recalled the hulking silver beast to allow him to rest.

“We have to hurry. Let’s go. Oh, and my name’s Lars.”

The dead leaves on the ground suddenly restless as the flying Metagross lands with the man that Tara has been waiting for. "Good thinking" Tara praises Lars when he told her about the first aid kit, she wasn't thinking about that since she never really go hiking in her entire life so she doesn't fully grasp the danger of a mountain could be yet. "The name is Tara, nice to know you Lars" Tara introduces herself.

"The report said that an off-road cyclist has been missing for two days from the inn while all of his belonging is still on his room, untouched. Based on the inn owner, the cyclist inform them that they are going to do mountain biking around Mt Pyre." Tara shares the reports that she has on hand to Lars. "Local around here says that while there is a special track for an off-road cycling, the track itself is not completely safe - so they may be in an accident while traversing the track." Tara analyzes the additional information that she got from the locals.

"I need help on searching for the man, I hope you are familiar with the mountain path," Tara asks Lars hopefully.

There were two mountains in Hoenn—each of them equally dangerous.

While Mount Chimney was more volatile because of it being an active volcano (whoever said it was dormant was lying to themselves), Mount Pyre was the more—haunted one, so to speak. Considering how the weather around the place was always foggy, visibility would be next to zero most times.

Lars could only sigh at this pronouncement.

“Sometimes, I don’t know if these athletes are either courageous or outright dumb,” he began quietly. “There’s a reason why Mount Pyre’s meant to stay as a shrine to the dead…” he continued as he sighed.

A few moments later, an Altaria made its appearance.

“Nami, go and search around the area for us, can you?” he asked the living, sentient cloud.

To Tara, he remarked, “If you have a flashlight or anything that can provide us some light through this fog, now would be a good time to use it so we can start searching.”

Tara takes a mental note of how swift Lars is on trying to capture situational awareness with the help of Altaria. As the cloud pokemon gains altitude to cover a considerable amount of vision - Lars is asking for her. Tara understood that she can't let herself be a deadweight of the group, she must pull her own weight. "Lit, if you may" Tara declares and a moment later Lit the living candle appears. The area got lit due to the flame that Litwick produce, however - it wasn't much but they gain some vision distance with the help of Lit. "Lit listen to this man while walking in the front carefully okay. You will be our guide light" Tara crouches for a moment and stares at Lit. Lit nods and starts to waddle in front of them and take the lead.

"It wasn't much but that is the best that I have currently. He could burst a brighter flame momentarily once in a while so please make use of it wisely" Tara tells Lars. The situation around them is quite eerie and brings her shiver but she needs to do this and save the cyclist - Perhaps he is in a situation where he can't move and dying.

The sight of the Litwick is comforting amidst the ominous quiet blanketing Mount Pyre right at that very moment.

“We wouldn’t want to have wild Pokémon chasing after us while we go on our rescue mission, so your companion’s flame should be enough for us to see through this fog,” he remarked. Or at least, he hoped that it was still a rescue mission because he didn’t want it to be a retrieval operation instead—he hated having to deal with dead bodies.

It just… didn’t sit right with him.

He then let the Litwick wander on ahead, the little bobbing light serving to break through the thickening mist that was swirling around them the deeper they went into the mountain proper.

“I hate it when this happens,” he said presently as he gestured at the thickening fog, keeping his eyes and ears peeled just in case they overshot and missed the drop-off point.

Up above, the Altaria flew quietly, not picking out anything of substance—yet, at least.

The silence starts to suffocate her, the eeriness of the place boosted with their limited vision doesn't help her at all. Tara would say that she is quite daredevil herself at times but she would never have the idea to do off-road biking in a place like this. Tara tries to clear her throat while minding her step - Not wanting to trip by accident. Tara let out a sigh of relief when her guide break the silence momentarily, she really wants to break it earlier but she doesn't want to disturb him in any way. "Is there a way to clear up the fog around us? Maybe a move that generates wind or a wave to scatter the fog" Tara gulps down, trying to think of a pokemon that can fit the bill. On her end, she tries to think then got an idea. Tara let out Light and Light start to use DISCHARGE and swept the fog away - momentarily until it rolls down once again and returns to the beginning.

"Well, that was a wasted attempt" Tara murmurs, trying to look at the map that she owns. Not so far from them, there should be a sharp turn with a safety hazard. The turn faces a cliff and there is no railing to keep away any cyclist from running through to the cliff if they want for whatever reason. "There should be a cliff in front of us so be careful" Tara warns Lars. Without realizing that at the bottom of the cliff lays an unconscious man with his waist below stuck to a fallen boulder and a destroyed bike near him.

The Altaria saw the attempt at clearing the fog, before tsking from her current position. Since she was part-Flying after all, she then flew down towards where the two humans were headed and hummed mostly in Lars’s direction.

“Up ahead?” he asked, before the Altaria nodded.

Turning to Tara, he explained.

“The only thing that can clear the fog out of this area is either Defog or the sun—alas we have neither, so yes, be careful,” he remarked in the redhead’s direction before the Altaria flew off again—and returned a few moments later, agitated humming catching his attention.

“What?” he asked once more, however the Altaria was insistent and began plucking at the sleeve of his overcoat and leading him dangerously close to where the cliff face suddenly dropped off into an even steeper incline.

The Altaria continued to hum agitatedly, before swooping down into the thicker sea of fog—

“Shit, I think she saw something,” he said to his companion. “We have to wait for her to return—and mind the edge, it’s only around three steps from where I’m standing.”

Laurence tries to explain the error that she made earlier but Tara shrugs it off. She is partially aware of it but sometimes trying things outside common sense as long as it is safe is fun - Who knows that it will lead to something unexpected fortune. Laurence's Altaria keeps trying to catch the attention of her trainer and when Tara wants to point that out the Altaria starts to fly away and lead them to the edge of the cliff.[break][break]

"Three steps only?" Tara asks to make sure that the assessment is right, trying to squint her eyes to see through the fog and it is indeed that the edge of the cliff is not too far from them. "Could she saw the person that we are looking for down there?" Tara tries to rack her brain, trying to look around for a way to go down safely. She doesn't have any flying pokemon that can help her go down safely nor she can't be sure if Luxray is able to jump down safely since she doesn't know how high the cliff is. "Do you have any flying type pokemon that can help us to go down the cliff? I am afraid that I don't have any flying pokemon with me"

“With the way the terrain drops off around here,” he began as he awaited the return of his Altaria, “It’s always best to assume the worst.”

As if to prove a point, he took one, two—on the third step even he nearly got swallowed by the fog due to how the ground suddenly dropped off into the thick, swirling mass.

“See?” he remarked as he backpedaled as fast as he could. Eventually, the Altaria returned, even more agitated humming coming from the fluffy cloud Pokémon.

While it was easy to miss unless one looked close enough, he noticed that one patch of her fluffy, cloudy ‘body’ was marked and sullied by a very familiar substance that reeked of rusting iron—

“Knew it,” he remarked as he pointed out the bloodied patch of cotton to Tara. “There’s what we’re looking for.”

And in response to her question—

Another red beam of light shot forward as this time, a very familiar burnished, silver Metagross made its reappearance.

“He’s big enough to support the both of us. Get on,” he gestured while waiting for her to get aboard the Metagross’s flat head. Presuming that she had already done so in the time frame given, he then clambered up after her, and with a single knock, pointed at the Altaria.

“Ro, follow her down. Tara, I suggest you hang on.”

The Altaria led the way into the dense fog, closely followed by the Metagross and his two passengers.

Tara carefully climbs the silver Metagross while lifting her Litwick with her. The Metagross carefully descent, following the path that Altaria has found toward the man that they are looking for. Not too far from the unconscious man that is trapped beneath a huge tree that crushing his lower half, a broken bike can be seen. Tara quickly jumps off of the Metagross and checks the pulse of the man - While it is weak, he still has some pulse. "He is still alive but we need to get off the tree of him right now," Tara calls for Lars. She calls out for Chomper as she is the biggest pokemon that has hands to help she has currently. [break][break]

"Chomper, help me to leave this tree up," Tara asks while trying to lift it up by herself. Chomper stabs both of her blades to the tree trunks and tries to raise them up. The sheer size of the tree is not making it easy, however, they are able to lift it up considerably to the point where the man can be pulled out easily. "Lars, I need a hand. Can you pull the man off from there?" Tara asks while groaning due to the weight.

It didn’t take too long for them to arrive at the bottom of the cliff—and the sight that met them made his stomach turn over.

The good thing about this was that the guy was still alive; albeit barely.

Sliding off Ro’s back, he then pointed in the direction of where the Garchomp was trying to lift the tree.

“Lift it up,” was all he said and the Metagross then helped out with the tree-lifting, a powerful burst of Telekinetic energy, helping ease the weight before plucking another Pokéball from his pocket.

A Gardevoir appeared a few moments afterward from the burst of red light, waiting quietly as he then looked down and had to bite back a cringe.

“Damn,” was all he could say. That was a lot of blunt force trauma-related injuries the poor guy had sustained. “Lynette, give me some aid here.”

A few moments later, Life Dew is splashing over the various bevy of injuries. Much as he wanted to move the guy, he knew it was risky—so with another whistle, the Metagross then moved the tree further away from where the man had been crushed.
