Hovering atop the head of a Metagross, Derek maneuvers along Meteor Falls avoiding those capable of handling themselves. Scouring the area for potential victims that were caught unsuspecting when the distortion occurred, he eventually finds himself opposed by a peculiar Lilligant. "Alright, give it everything you've got!" Leaping off his pokemon, Elsie continues riding right towards it, delivering a point blank LIGHT OF RUIN before the Hisuian Lilligant could properly execute it's VICTORY DANCE. Knowing the pokemon in these spatial distortions to be exceptionally rare, aggressive and definitely worth training, he uses a pokeball to collect the collapsed Lilligant before continuing his search.

SPACE DISTORTION #8

his relaxing day at meteor falls had turned to shit. these distortions were making a habit of that, it seemed.
[break][break]
having recalled all his pokemon, eager to leave, he waits for the last member of his team to emerge from the pool. something shimmers at his feet and, swiping away some dust, he picks it up. a YELLOW SHARD. huh. when his pokemon finally does emerge, greyson's eyes widen.

bene, genetically mutated to be 'shiny', stood on solid ground as he dripped buckets of water off of his new form. the armored plates had always been a bronze-like color, but now the were egg-shell white, with long, harsh spikes coming off of them. bene walked with a confidence that was only boisterd by his new change.
[break][break]
only one thing comes to mind.
[break][break]
"well, that's new."

A slip of white in the murky water draws Klaus's attention, the sleek barely-there colour gone as soon as it came. A moment later and a Basculin jumps up from the water, jaws snapping and body twisting to catch the low light in the cavern. With a soft hum Klaus reaches for a pokeball at his hip, releasing his own Basculin to join the wild one.

It's not long before his once blue-striped fish returns with white stripes of his own, the distortion shimmering across the scaled pokemon's body like ripples of prismatic oil atop water. In a way he supposes it's just like that.

The alert had been sent out yet again. A space-time distortion had sprung up, this time in and around Meteor Falls. Barnaby wasted no time in gathering his recording supplies and setting out to the remote location. At least it wasn't close to a major city this time, he reasoned. It had taken some time for New Mauville to get back up and running after the last distortion had rendered much of the facility powerless.

Once Barnaby found himself on the periphery of the distortion's dome-like boundary, he released the unusual SNEASEL he'd captured before. The thing was still quite aggressive, but more mischievously precocious in Barnaby's presence. It was a relief that at least these distortion Pokémon were able to be tamed by mechanical means in the form of a Poké Ball, as their non-distortion counterparts could.

He wanted to check and see if this particular Pokémon would undergo a transformation within the distortion, as several of his Pokémon had before. Sure enough, Barnaby didn't have to wait long to have his suspicions confirmed. He passed through the wall of dark energy, SNEASEL at his side, and barely made it through the mouth of the cave before the Poison-type's gait stuttered to a halt.

Brandishing his camera, he began to record the phenomena before him. An eerie wind started to whirl around the SNEASEL, quickly enclosing it in a wave of crackling energy. From within animalistic wails could be heard, pained in tone and sharpness. Soon enough, though, the SNEASEL quieted and the wind dissipated. What emerged was a creature of... odd proportions.

Gangling limbs and a lean, lithe body stood in front of Barnaby. The new SNEASLER was unlike any Pokémon he'd seen before, yet familiar in that it retained the personality of its pre-evolution. Freshly transformed, it seemed emboldened to show off it's newfound power: a poisonous aura materialized around it's large claws, which it used to slam into the nearby cave wall.

The DIRE CLAW hit its target, sending chunks of rock and stone flying. A flash of yellow also erupted from the blow, plinking close to Barnaby's feet. He picked up the YELLOW SHARD, inspected it, and then pocketed the familiar item.

SPACE-TIME DISTORTION #8

meteor falls, a place of myth and mystery. jayden recalled visiting the location with that strange woman (octavia nuys ) over a year ago; although they had not kept touch since then, he still remembers as she spoke about the location's lore with starlight in her eyes, as if a piece of the forgotten meteorites were imbedded in her heart even still, imbuing her with passion for the tale.

[break][break] she had asked him about the dead, had asked him if he believed in aliens.

[break][break] even deoxys had come up.

[break][break] now, jayden wonders if she shared the same interest their underboss Killian Decker did of the legendary being.

[break][break] thunder crackles like pop-rocks in the cave as the distortion frays reality at the edges. jayden's heart in his throat, as it always is, whenever he's faced with such undeniable power. his braviary's back is visible as the pokemon battles against two snaring psychic types, using a blast from his wings to bat them away from his master.

[break][break] it's the glow of light as the braviary changes form that catches jayden's eye. shortly after, he spots the yellow shard amongst the rocks and pockets one for safekeeping.
