He’d actually been nearby for another job when the cultist’s activity got his attention. One second he’d been wearing a raincoat and plastered wet by a classic Hoennian tropical storm and the next, the sky was cleared and the air was dry enough for static to leap from his fingertips as he set down his hood.
[break][break]
“Something wicked this way comes,” he said, which made Zuza roll her eyes.
[break][break]
So they changed gears from helping with disaster relief to investigating what had caused the strange, rapid shift in the natural world. It didn’t take them too long to discover the epicenter of the action-- a group of people dressed in various reds and grays, along with their small horde of Ninetails and Vulpix. They were on a raised plateau that looked like it had been cleared of brush specifically for their gathering. Small bonfires were lit and scattered here and there, around which smaller portions of the large group would dance and chant.
[break][break]
Memo, still a ways away and crouched down below a shorter lip of rock, ID’d the kindlers; they looked relatively like Farhan, the one he’d met on his adventure with Alexei-- but Farhan hadn’t done weird dances or cult-like activity, like these ones were.
[break][break]
He traded a worried glance with Zuza as they slowly crept back from the plateau and safely behind some cover. It was only then that he realized the sunlight had grown so bright it was hurting his eyes.
[break][break]
Obviously, something weird was going on and Memo didn’t know what it was. He was tempted to radio in for backup but even more tempted to bust in there and figure it all out on his own. Not that the cultists-- because who else dressed in ceremonial garb and danced around fires singing weird chants?-- would take very kindly to his one-man-band interrupting their ceremony.

How long had they been tailing this scent, she wondered? A scent based on a hunch -one she always trusted-, and one which her Zoroark had acted upon. There was no contract this time around; she hunted freely, of her own volition and with the intent to capture and destroy… if they were in fact who she thought they were. And as Yvaine and her Zoroark came upon a raised plateau, oddly cleared of brush and other plants, voices of chanting filled the air. The bounty hunter smiled.

Looks like she hit the jackpot.

Both pokémon and trainer stooped forward, making themselves as small as possible as they stalked further; Yvaine in a crouching position, her Zoroark on all fours, moving like a nimble shadow as it took the lead. Had its fur been fully dark, it could’ve passed for an actual shadow in how it moved, but for what it was, it did very well. Yet, when they came within a proper distance to see what was going on, Zoroark froze rigid, its head snapping towards her left. And there it remained, staring at the cover and his pokémon were hiding behind. For a moment her prey was forgotten. The mercenary knew fully well her partner wouldn’t alert her like that if it wasn’t anything that could jeopardize her position. She had trained it as such, after all.

With a short snap of her fingers Zoroark regarded her, and replied to the gestures she made with a two short nods, then eyed the bushes again. Just two…. either a scout, or someone spying on the brass up ahead as well. Only one way to find out. She moved back further into the bushes behind her, trying to conceal herself as much as possible, while her Zoroark stayed more in sight to off-set prying eyes.Her hand scuffled in the dirt until her fingers found a small, round pebble, and with a strong flick of her wrist threw it at the bushes about a dozen feet beside her.

The status quo lasted a total of about 10 minutes before Memo decided, fuck it, let’s go. He radio’d his position into Lilycove Ranger HQ-- that’s what you were supposed to do when you may-or-may-not be undergoing something dangerous-- reporting that he was investigating suspicious activity, show him going; with the volume all the way down on his receiver he didn’t hear the 10-33 wait for assistance that rang back across the line.
[break][break]
There’d been reports of cultist activity across the region but it had all been rather nondescript and unimportant. Most of it had been shut down rather quickly or deemed as relatively harmless-- which is what Memo expected as he flipped his sunglasses out from his pack and slid them on his face-- this fucking sunlight was going to give him a headache otherwise-- and clambered up the short slope to the gathering of Kindlers and their foxes.
[break][break]
So he stepped, in dark glasses, flanked by his rainbow unicorn, into the fray.
[break][break]
His arrival threw off the dancing and the chanting as it stuttered out, six or seven heads turning to look at him.
[break][break]
“Hey, guys,” he said, trying good cop first, “I’m going to have to ask you to cease and desist. You can keep the dancing but maybe go a little lighter on the sunny day, huh?”
[break][break]
A number of curious glances were exchanged, obviously trying their best to take in this very short, Galarian boy-man-person, plus unicorn, and ascertain what, if any, actual authority he had.
[break][break]
There was a strange whistling noise, and one of his ears popped and started ringing; the earth beneath him began to shift, slowly at first, then rapidly, breaking and jumping in huge cracks--
[break][break]
--and it was about that time that Memo realized he was in trouble.

Silence pursued, and when a sun-tanned man and his colorful unicorn partner emerged from the thicket minutes later, the mercenary was left to wonder whether he either had not taken note of the rock she'd thrown, or whether she'd really missed her target by such a margin. So she just watched as he walked onto the "stage", making all the red-clad figures cease their dancing and chanting for a moment to go into a stare-down with the ranger. Or so it seemed from her position.

When the ground started shifting and shaking, Yvaine decided to step up as well. "Zoroark, use Agility and find who's doing this!" she'd call to her partner while trying to get up the plateau as well despite the ground's heavy protest. With a nod Zoroark dashed off, nimbly jumping up, off and against rising stone, and across emerging fissures, until it could pinpoint a Camerupt vividly stomping its feet. It hissed and struck it in the flank with a well-aimed Night Slash, at least temporarily disrupting the Earthquake at hand enough for people to find their footing again.

The redhaired mercenary appeared left from the ranger, saluting the man with a two-fingered salute to her temple. "Not to rain on your parade, but… asking nicely? Really? Command some respect-" she turned, punching an incoming cultist square in the face. "Or just punch 'em in the face to get the point across." Zoroark growled in the distance as the robed ones started ordering their Ninetales and Vulpix to attack, the heat quite readily rising as they unleashed a barrage of Flamethrowers and Embers onto the two. "Right's yours!" she pointed, hoping he'd go in for a pincer attack with her.

Despite Yvaine’s best efforts, yes, Memo had completely missed her attempt at communication. He was a man of action, but not always the best man of paying attention. He was also garbage at puzzles and lacked the patience for math.
[break][break]
As the ground continued to crack and shake beneath him, he could do little but splay his legs out, knees inward, to try and maintain balance. See, this was the problem with good cop, he was realizing as his stomach dropped-- nobody recognized his authority. He got a better effect when he leaned heavily into his dropped glottals and brought out the full force uneducated Galarian accent, but it was a little too late for that. Man of action, indeed.
[break][break]
Another voice was yelling, now, and soon after the quaking stopped. Then Yvaine was there, saluting him and telling him exactly where his plan had gone wrong.
[break][break]
“Yeah, yeah, I get it,” he grumbled, threading a hand in Zuza’s mane as the Rapidash stepped forward, using her Psychic to pick up a Vulpix in the middle of belching fire and just throw it into another, sending both foxes yelping to the dust. Meanwhile, Memo used Zuza to lift himself up and kick out at the cultist Yvaine told him to target, hitting them square in the throat and dropping them to the ground, fingers clawing at their airpipe. Once they were more his level, he kneed them in the face, feeling the crush of their nose breaking; the cultist crumpled, blood dripping across their lips and chin.
[break][break]
“I just thought I’d-- try and be nice, you know,” he said, dodge-rolling out of the way of a fire blast that, thankfully, went right over his head, searing into the sky beyond. “Fire. Why does it-- always have to be fire?” he grunted, as Zuza expelled a powerful ball of sparkles from her horn, the dazzling gleam hitting a Ninetales in the face, forcing it to close its eyes and shake its head to try and regain its vision.

"Because if it'd be using Hydro Pump we'd be in real trouble." she replied to his retorical question while sliding away from her own fire barrage, and thus moving within hearing range of Guillermo's grunting laments. She didn't have to act all Captain Obvious, but she couldn't help it either. Today was a day of fire and burns, apparently. "Or maybe they're just trying to give us a warm welcome!" she said with a devious grin, putting her fingers to her mouth to blow a shrill whistle.

Her Zoroark knew what the whistle meant and dashed forward, unleashing a Night Daze to take out the Ninetails Zuza had just blinded. With the small window that created Yvaine was making her way forward, driving her knee into one of the Cultist's fireballs, followed by a throat chop that sent him hacking to the floor. Now trainer and pokémon were within throwing distance from one another, Zoroark roared menacingly, using its full length and Scary Face in the hope of intimidating some of the smaller pokémon and nearby cultists. And it seemed to work; one Vulpix hightailed it out of the clearing and into the forest, followed by its cultist trainer that tried to stop it from fleeing, while another cultist froze with an expression that seemed like they were to faint any moment now. They stayed on their feet ever so bravely, albeit rather pale.

His brain was scrambling, trying to keep up with the fast-talking superhero quips while also not getting decked in the face. It was a lot harder than it looked.
[break][break]
“I think I would’ve preferred the cold shoulder,” he chirped back, still down on one knee when Yvaine whistled. Her Zoroark launched itself into the fray, decimating the blinded Ninetails. Yvaine was quick to follow, knocking down one cultist, while her Dark-type’s scary face scattered most of the remaining ones.
[break][break]
Memo picked himself up and dusted himself off and planted his boot on the back of the cultist whose nose he’d smashed, staring down the only one that remained standing.
[break][break]
“You’re under arrest… for disturbing the peace?” he said, voice curling up in a question as he dropped a Pokeball and summoned his Bisharp. “Actually, I don’t even know if I can arrest people. I’m just a Ranger.”
[break][break]
Ester strode over and struck the cultist on the back of the head, once, knocking them unconscious.
[break][break]
“But if I can’t arrest you I’m going to take you to someone who can!” he said with all the finality of an arguing teenager.
[break][break]
“You’re not too bad in a fight,” he said, smiling at Yvaine.
