The damage had been done, by the time Melody got Relicanth to it was too late. He had died. Melody's first pokemon to ever perish destroyed her. She had been hiding in her home for a long time now, grieving. The public had spoken about their starlet vanishing from the public eyes and rumors spiraled. [break][break]

She had reached out to ONE person though, her friend 's significant other. . [break][break]

She hadn't really spoken with him privately before, but when it came to exploring the vast region of Hoenn, the sky and sea duo were unmatched. She had wanted to find a very special spot to bury her pokemon at, she wanted to go back to where she had originally found the pokemon, the seafloor cavern. [break][break]

She stood at the edge of evergrande city, staring at the water's edge, her perfect skin, blemished by red eyes and a stuffy nose. She hadn't really told them the details of what had happen just yet, just that she needed help finding something and she was willing to compensate him heavily for it.

He'd tried. Truly.

When had contacted him with her request, Angelo had begun his search of the Hoennian seas with the kind of motivation that went beyond that of monetary obligation.

His appetite for adventure piqued by her challenge.

But no matter how late Angelo stayed up into the night, scanning maps detailing potential environmental hits and pouring for recorded primal crystal sightings, the place of birth for a fish with shards embedded on its scales remained ever a mystery. Frustratingly.

So, instead, they'd decided to go to another point of significance - the Seafloor Cavern.

That's when Angelo had asked if she wanted to come along.

And not just for her diving gear and boat...

Looks like someone's here early.

As they sail close to the Evergrande City dock to pick up their passenger, he leaves Skyler at the wheel with a brush of his fingers straying from the fond touch on her back.

Hey, Mel.” It's then, when Angelo strolls to the edge of the boat to greet her, that he notices puffy red eyes, staring blankly upon the water surface.

Although there were no tears cascading, it wasn't a far assumption to make that perhaps they'd simply all fallen, none too long ago.

Weight like a stone sinks down fast into his gut at the sight of Melody looking unlike herself.

You ready to go?” Voice taking on a softer edge, Angelo stretches a calloused, steady hand out to help her aboard, should she wish.

An invitation of assistance, on multiple fronts.

She'd been invited. More or less.

It'd been more than a year since her Steelix had perished beneath the weight of sun-baked rocks. Skyler had already been through a war then, had seen enough death that the moment hadn't haunted her. But she still remembers the cold clarity of realization, creeping up to hold her hostage for that horrible half a second.

Her Pokemon. Her Pokemon. Dead.

The captain had become increasingly curious of Angelo's frustration the previous week, watching from the corner of her eyes as he buried himself in maps and charts. Off-handed comments had sprouted into Skyler doing her own research. You can't see everything when you're up in the clouds, after all. Sometimes you needed a more hands on approach.

They'd still ended up empty handed. But, Skyler thinks as the boat touches shore and Angelo hops onto the docks to meet a faint Melody, perhaps it is less about the location and more about not being alone. Not for something like this.

Skyler isn't aware of what happened, exactly. But the obviously shaken visage of the usually cheerful idol brings about a wave of protectiveness. 

"We're ready," she says, voice pitched low and kind, "whenever you are." She means the boat, of course, and the diving equipment they'd need to dive down into the depths. She also means the collection of liquor bottles in the cabin under their feet - just in case.

She looked up suddenly as if he voice broke a trance she was in. It was Angelo, his hand outstretched to her offering her help getting onto the boat. She stood up "Oh. Hey, thanks for coming out here.." she said as her cheery demeanor she was known for had all but been washed away. [break][break]

She also saw Angelo had brought along and melody smiled at them both softly, trying her best to keep up her cheery persona but it was difficult considering her headache, a stray black vein hidden in her ocean of pink hair as it refused to go away even when she was feeling fine. [break][break]

"Skyler!" she said with a soft surprise in her voice as she was glad to see her again. "Well with both of you here, I'm sure we'll find something." she tried to remain hopeful but she knew this task was going to be rather difficult, especially since Relicanth was no longer with them. [break][break]

"I'm..i-" she said as if arguing with herself to try and spill some more details but afraid of someone's ears lingering.. "Do you mind if we head out before I go into any details?" she asked as suddenly a swab of blue barrels towards them, coalescing around Melody in a defensive stance. It was Cobalion, squinting at the pair of them somewhat aggressively as Melody placed a hand on him and tried to push his head out of her way. [break][break]


"Cobalion. please. Relax, they are friends. they want to help us find relicanth's home.." she pleaded with it as he had been on edge ever since what had happen. He stared at her, refusing to move from her side. "Do you mind if he comes with? If you come, cobalion, you need to get in a pokeball again like last time when we dive." she said looking towards the water to remind him of the aqua meeting incident. [break][break]

He acknowledges her request and sits down wherever he could fit on the boat. She sighs as she pinches the bridge of her nose "Sorry about him. He's been on edge ever since the incident.." she said keeping details vague for now at least.

It didn't matter whether Angelo was in the dark about what had fallen upon Melody's shoulders, her turmoil was palpable, unescapable beneath his dagger sharp observation.

And yet eagle-eyes are rendered harmless by the mercy of the pilot's more compassionate edges, respecting the Elite Four member's request for time.

He'd learnt long ago about giving space when his sister, after following her and badgering her for answers as she stomped around the house after a falling out with a friend, had thrown her alarm at him, clocking him square in the face.

Fine by me. It's-

It's all the pilot manages to get out, before a thundering of hooves canters towards them. An unimpressed face suddenly overtaking his line of sight as the Sword of Justice thrusts itself in front of the distressed young woman, glowering and judging.

Protecting, Angelo recognises, and yet doesn't flinch away from. Cobalion didn't need to shield his chosen from anybody here. 

Not a moment later a soft chuckle escapes his throat, breaking the relaxed resolve.

It seemed that Melody wasn't the only one who had the intention of joining them aboard.

Looks like our dear ol' Captain's had the decision made for her.

Angelo throws a small smile towards Skyler, amusement intermingling with salt and the twang of concern in the breeze. Stepping to the side, he gives the legendary space as it invites itself onto The Mariner 2.

With the hints of 'an incident' sprinkled like dew in the morning air, he finds himself a seat on the familiar speedboat which the legendary wasn't occupying, an arm comfortably draping along the side railing.

Get comfortable, Mel. Hope Cobalion doesn't mind getting cosy.

Something told him this trip was not going to be smooth sailing - and not because of choppy waters.

"Between the two of us," Skyler says while motioning to herself and Angelo, "we have enough knowledge of the area to leave no stone unturned." They probably did, what with Angelo's aerial view and Skyler's familiarity with the Hoennian ocean. 

"You're in good hands, Mel. Promise."

Watching interact with Melody is like getting a peek into his life in Alto Mare, back when he lived with his collection of siblings. Of course, Skyler knows nothing of him getting clocked with an alarm - unfortunately - but she would get the story one day. Eventually.

A moment of tension passes when Cobalion sees upon itself to try and protect Melody. While Skyler can empathize with its actions, the gesture makes her feel equally on edge. The legendary isn't the only oveprotective one here. 

"It's fin- Shit!" Reassuring words die a swift death before she can utter them, interrupted by the legendary's bold entrance into The Mariner 2. 

Skyler scrambles to hold onto the steering wheel as the boat tips slightly, sinking further into the ocean where Cobalion has seen fit to curl up. It leaves barely any space for other passengers - and was that a crack?

It better, Skyler thinks as she squints at the legendary, not have broken anything in her boat. Or else.

"It'll be cosy with Cobalion here, but we'll make it work." The engine purrs under their feet as she maneuvers it away from the docks and into the ocean proper, coasting over surface waves with the ease of a tested sailor.

Cobalion huff's at angelo's comment of getting cosy. Stubbornness was also an unfortunate trait of the sword of justice. [break][break]
She did guess that unwavering ideals WERE a requirement to be a sword of justice...[break][break]

Melody however had enough of his shenanigans and recalled him into his Pokeball. "Don't worry about him, I can be just as stubborn as he is surprisingly- Leave the BALL AND STAY. YOU KNOW YOU CANT SWIM WELL." she shouts at the pokeball mid sentence to ensure he stayed in the fucking ball. [break][break]

She let out a long sigh, exhaustion being evident in her body as she was tired of everything going on around her. She decides to finally respond to 's earlier statement. "I'm placing my faith in you both. I have no doubt you guys can help me out. Maybe we'll find something interesting underwater that'll scream. Hey I was made here.". [break][break]

The boat began to tug along as melody watched the coast slowly vanish from sight. She always felt more at ease in the water, for some reason. Being all alone, no one else to have to worry about except the pokemon below. [break][break]

Once they were a fair distances away from the coast, Melody's persona of barely staying together washes away. "So uh. Basically." she says trying to find the right way to tell the story without completely breaking down. The black vein on the nape of her neck pulsing, telling her to silence herself or to face the consequences. However she ignores it as best as she can as the nasty migraine began to rear it's ugly head again. "M-...he killed my Relicanth...I wanna find out where it was born to bury it there.. It's the least I can do.." she says barely giving details yet as she still is wrestling with who she should tell or if at all.

They coast away from the docks with a hearty purr of the engine, the rush of ocean spray as speed begins to build and a sudden uproar of scolding that's, actually, quite impressive considering who it comes from.

Angelo remains relaxed, lips curving into a lazy smile in response to a moment that is strangely peaceful.

Rambunctious energy was akin to the backdrop of waves. Had been longer than he'd been in Hoenn.

Didn't take you for the ball-buster type, Mel. Colour me impressed,” he mischievously comments as the legendary Sword of Justice is, ultimately, put into a timeout.

This is the calm before the storm, he'd soon learn. Dour sighs making way for a more serious topic, as Ever Grande City begins to disappear beneath an arch of expansive cerulean. 

I'm sure we'll find something in the Seafloor Cavern that'll point us in the right direction. And if not, then I'll carry on investigatin' until we dig something up, don't worry.

It's a reassurance from someone not privy to the whole situation. And as it turns out, time may not be on their side...

"M-...he killed my Relicanth..."

It's a subtle change, like the slight curve of a wind direction, how Angelo's relaxed fingers dangling over the edge of the boat turns into a grip. Casual tapping of his boot stilling as Melody's sunken expression comes to light. 

An image of snapped wings and orange scales invades into his mind unwillingly, how a final breath struggles out, choked by dust and sand.  

Like Sky said, you're in good hands here, Mel...” A slither of blue peers towards Skyler in silent confusion and a smidge of caution, tension intertwining within the lingering pause. “With this and if you want to talk about what happened.

Angelo is used to keeping plenty of things close to the chest, his own and others.

When push comes to shove, Angelo is far better equipped and generally more skilled at dealing with emotion-fraught situations (and people) than Skyler ever will be. There's a subtlety to navigating past emotion and trauma that would probably always elude the ship captain.

They've navigated far past the sight of shore, and away from any crashable objects, when Melody seems to crumple into a smaller version of herself, like a Drifloon that has lost all air.

And then she speaks.

"Matias did what?" The words explode out of Skyler's mouth before her brain has time to catch up. Silver cuts past ocean, boat and her husband to focus on the idol and her grief-stricken expression - perhaps in an attempt to glean the truth behind the obvious hesitation.

While Angelo soothes, Skyler grits her teeth against a sleught of questions that bubble forth, demanding to be answered. There's a story to be told here, but the captain wouldn't pry it from Melody. 

She tightens her grip on the steering wheel, exchanging a look with Angelo that betrays her own concern. While Skyler wouldn't usually touch League business with a ten-foot pole, nothing about this situation read as - normal. 

And with Hoenn going to hell as of late, Skyler refuses to be kept in the dark.

"... Do I need to kill him, Mel? Or hurt him badly?" 

It's impossible to judge whether she's being utterly serious or if this is simply her own unique way to show her support.

Prima slowly trails behind the boat, peaking her head out of the water out of concern as Melody began to talk, sharing her trainer's unease. [break][break]

However, both of their reactions comfort her to a certain extent. She had started to buy into cobalion's perception of all humans being awful creatures yet there were still someone who were pure. [break][break]

"Actually I'm afraid you'd need to stay away from him or else history would repeat itself.." she says realizing she got too far ahead of herself. "Sorry, I tried to learn more about groudon cause of Matias. He did all of this for power, for groudon. He's become it's avatar. I'm not entirely sure but it's extremely possible.." [break][break]

She paused allowing them to take it in. [break][break]

"I had told him about my Relicanth covered in giant primal quartzs, in sizes the league couldn't really supply themselves. He later then invited me to a really strange cave in Mt. Chimney, perfectly cylindrical as if it was made by machines, even better with how perfectly cut out it was. [break][break]

Once we were inside he asked me to send out my Relicanth to try something and..he activated the crystals with a mega charizard's z-move.."
[break][break]

She says wrapping her hands around her stomach as it caused a pit in her stomach to form.[break][break]

"Next thing I know..we're in a different Hoenn. One where a Groudon and a Regidrago were fighting over a shard of the red orb as my Relicanth sat there, massive holes in it as the primal crystals melted away and it began to bleed...in a rage I teemed up with regidrago to try and subdue groudon." there was the first lie that so easily escaped her lips, she wasn't trying to subdue it at all. She wanted it to die, revenge for what Matias did, to see his goals fade away right before he got it. [break][break]

"But I failed. The red orb was then embedded into his arm...so I'm pretty sure groudon will do whatever he wants now.."

A quiet exhale fans past Angelo's lips as the explanation comes to a close, a curse entangling within his breath. “Well, shit.

He wasn't officially part of the League - neither of him nor Sky were - and yet their dirty laundry was spread out before them, none the less. Again.

This one was definitely... something.

Killing 's fish wasn't what sat unsettled in the pit of Angelo's stomach like a cold stone, however.

If - a representative of the League and one of its championed Elite - was ballsy enough to manipulate his colleague with a premeditated plan, of stealing the life of her pokemon for his own means, then what was next?

It's the fact that it doesn't end there. It never does.

But why'd he go after Groudon? That's a risky choice after what happened to .” No glance is spared towards his wife. Her... connection with Kyogre, regardless of his opinion of it, was a whole different kettle of fish. “Whatever his motives are for doing what he did, he must feel like it's worth the gamble.

Slowly, Angelo unlocks himself from his tense posture, folding forward until his elbows rest on his knees. Cold, blue eyes focus upon the idol, searching for answers to quench his agitated curiosity within her distress.

Not to say what Matias did is right, Mels. He's a grade-A bastard.

Melody's earlier warning for to not approach Matias coats the back of his throat in bile, protectiveness spreading like sharp pinpricks over his flesh.

Had it been an impulsive comment in reference to their representative legendary's tales, perhaps? Or had it been about something more?

You said he wanted 'power'... Do y'know why?

Blunt fingernails dig into his knees.

'Maybe finally stands a chance at beating me in an arm-wrestling contest', is the first thought that pops up, though she does remain doubtful of the fact. Since their first meeting the Elite Four has apparently lost all qualms about playing dirty.

Perhaps falling from that high horse hadn't hurt that badly? 

"Have you told this to anyone else, anyone in the League?" Has there been an official complaint? That the League has proven itself inefficient and clogged by bureacracy and disorganization doesn't come as a surprise to Skyler - but abetting cold-blooded murderers in their ranks? Worse still, to support someone who turned on their own

It isn't the Relicanth's death in itself as much as it is the premeditated thought and planning that came beforehand that bothers her. Tricking Melody into becoming an unwilling participant in her own pokemon's death?

For a moment she wonders if Melody has told any of this to someone like, say, . Wasn't she her protegé or something? Despite her temperament, she at least trusted the Malevolent to do her best by the region. Including chopping off rotten apples.

Melody's concerns about her are casually waved aside. "I doubt he's going to want to fight me. And if he does," she shrugs, looking out into the vast expanse of ocean. Imagining its lightless depths, "I'll just take his overgrown lizard for a nice summer swim. That ought to cool him off." 

Skyler has no desire to be entangled in this mess, and a quick look 's way reinforces this opinion. But it isn't in their nature either to stand idly by while the region goes to shit.

With every question they asked she felt worse and worse as pointed out something that made her stomach churn. [break][break]

"But it was in part to Groudon blessing Bailey that she was not only a power house...but champion..?" she said theorizing as her own dreams began to vanish right before her very eyes. [break][break]

"One legendary? Everyone on this boat could handle one right? But..two? On top of that a titan...All while Rayquaza, the only one who can stop them is missing.." she continues as she kept spiraling. She rested her elbows on her knees as her hands supported her head as she continued her line of thought. [break][break]

"Even if he told me, what he wanted with it. I don't think he'd be telling the truth. I think he just doesn't want to have to answer to anyone..I..I dont know..I thought I knew him." [break][break] she said as a sigh accompanied her words.

"The only person besides you two who knows is Dahlia. I haven't told anyone else. I don't really know if I can trust anyone in the league....Skyler..could I get some of your stash? I can PDAPP ya."

That, he didn't agree with.

Neither Kyogre's avatar or Groudon's former had needed the titans to be forces to be reckoned with.

When he looked at , Angelo saw a woman who could conquer oceans and sever storms, all with a defiant flash of teeth and the hardened, experience-weathered skin of her hands. He'd believed that long before she'd encountered the Sea Basin pokémon.

, he had no doubt, had been the same.

Groudon didn't make Cooper a champion, Mels. She was chosen for being capable in her own right,” he reaches over towards as she cradles her head in her hands, looking very much like her world was crumbling around her. Angelo places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “ isn't going to get a fast pass just because he's its avatar now. I doubt you have to worry about that.

Although whether he'd be celebrated for his actions by and the league, is another thing entirely.

'sides, Sky's right. He ain't going to risk trying anything on that scale. Not unless the red orb erodes away his common sense.

He glances over towards his wife as he says this, a thin smile on his lips, a wordless don't let the praise get to your head conveyed.

True, neither would stand by as the region they called home goes to shit. But even more than that, neither would let it slide as a threat approaches the other.

With them, the world needed to pick their battles carefully.

Angelo takes his hand from the Elite Four's shoulder as she requests some of Skyler's stash. “Down in the cabin, right? I'll grab it,” maybe a little will calm her down some. 

And why wouldn't she be on edge?

It would feel accurate to assume she'd lost more than her pokémon that day. Friendship and faith had been uprooted and shredded, too.

Angelo stands, descending into the cabin beneath their feet with a “don't go anywhere” whilst they coast in the middle of the ocean.

's common sense, Skyler thinks to herself as seeks to comfort Melody, seems pretty far gone already - no Red Orb assistance necessary. And with the League supposedly willing to pat him on the back for his actions, it becomes awfully easy to rationalize and justify all kinds of abuse.

"Angelo's right." Even as she's speaking, she shoots the pilot a warning look, daring him to gloat. She walks until she's by his side, two bastions of strength for to hold on to in the midst of the storm. "Avatarship gives you power, but it doesn't make you anything but what you already are."

A part of Skyler, perhaps petty, feels somewhat vindicated. There's a reason why she's always turned her nose at authority, why she'd been on the fence about joining the League. Not to say that the League isn't comprised of mostly good intentioned people - she knows it is, she's met most of them. But someone needs to hold those in power accountable. Rocket and League both.

For the greater good, my ass.

Her thoughts are interrupted by a sly smirk, to which the captain responds with a huff, raising her chin in the air in pretend? defiance. Though image is marred by the slight twitch of her lips, the message is clear: I damn well will let it go to my head if I want to.

Angelo goes down into the cabin before Skyler can think to stop him, leaving her with a teary-eyed Melody. With the only viable solution (according to Sky) to this kind of situation in Angelo's hands - literally - Skyler feels, momentarily, utterly out of her element.

"My stash if yours, Mel. Arceus knows you need it more than I do right now. Have at it." 
 
She just needed to make sure the Elite Four wouldn't accidentally go overboard and drown herself - again.
