DAY 1 // THE FIRST VISITOR



“IT DIDN’T.”

which is what it all boils down to. would have gotten the same slap on the wrist if the PRIMAL QUARTZ on ’s relicanth not activate. of course not.

which is why scientist who dream and hope prove dangerous. it’s why he belies his concern to when she approaches with the same mindset. it’s what brought on the ULTRA BEAST WAR that had costed them so much.

maybe palkia will appear if i start unplugging these wires,” he goes on, tearing out several from their taped position on his body.

oh, it didn’t. maybe because that’s not how it works.

the wires fall onto the floor, dangling pathetically. like his judgement of her character, they dies with the drone out static of the measuring devices in the background.

you’re supposed to rely on observation. on consistency. like a real goddamn scientist!

[attr="class","illeana i"]she looks hurt, betrayed, disgusted.

there's a lack of belief that she can't seem to shake. he spoke of believing in her just moments ago and look at it now... reduced to ashes by a bad judgement call.

she's reminded of littleroot, of the events afterward, and of the verbal beating he gave her in a room very similar to this one.

it all comes full circle in the end, doesn't it?

"there's a pattern, fernando."

the primal crystal from the first gathering of aqua shifting in and out of existence. the clashing of worlds during groudon's rampage. the appearance of distortions overrunning hoenn. the pink cyclone of energy she saw when she struck a distortion's chaotic edges.

each one is a piece of a puzzle she can't seem to complete. each one pushes her closer to the edge. whether it's scientific breakthrough or insanity is left to be determined.

"the crystals are connected to creation somehow. the distortions, groudon, everything."

an irritated sigh escapes in a puff of air.

"i get i made a terrible call."

she's not denying the fuck up. there's no point.

"i just -- fuck. it's here, somewhere, and it's valuable enough of an asset to hunt for."

it's difficult to say if anyone else views it the same way.

“THEN YOU GO THROUGH PROPER PROCEDURE,” is what he seethes out instead of an elaborate response.

you cannot risk the life of everyone in the region on a ‘chance’!

whatever personal frustration they have, or had, becomes miniscule in comparison. this no longer becomes a game of manipulation and feelings. this is survival.

what happens when you can’t find palkia? what happens when you run out of time? if you break our only hope then it’s over!

[attr="class","illeana i"]the entire conversation has exhausted her.

she raises a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, a headache barely held at bay.

"the lives of the region are at stake regardless."

despite reckless actions, something still stuck out as an unexpected outcome.

"the soldiers that came out of that rift were ready, fernando."

they were almost prepared for what happened.

"what if we go through with the plan and end up throwing ourselves into another war that we're not prepared for?"

what if sea hoenn is waiting for them?

she can't shake the concept. even without the greed blinding her, there's something off about it.

"for whatever reason, they came through instantly as if they were expecting the rift to open. i don't think that's part of any plans the league has."

better yet, is it even a considered factor?

“YOU. DON’T. GET. TO. MAKE. THAT. CALL.”

whatever points she brings up, no matter how valid, are only spun out of hindsight. it’s impossible for her to have made such an assumption and know how to back it up without having experienced it first. he can tell by the way she words it. in the order she reveals it.

not alone. not on our behalf.

which is why he doesn’t back down from his point. unless she actually has palkia in a pokeball on her hip, almost nothing can change that. and even then…

and you know better! that type of selfishness is exactly started the ULTRA BEAST WAR!

[attr="class","illeana i"]and why can’t she make that call?

she’s become too blinded by things that evade her. things lost, things barely found…

and when she manages to come out on top, will it even feel good? or will she simply feel hollow, empty and alone after destroying his heart and setting the world around her on fire?

”just think about it, fernando.”

about the way portals work, about the plan, about her. all of it…

”they’re not one way things.”

she sees similarities in the war, bloody and burning.

”do you not see the pattern between both this and the war?”

is it another symptom of a descent in insanity?

“THINK?”

he sounds absolutely astounded. as if she had just slapped him in the face right before playing victim.

like how you thought about it before your ripped open a rift?! like how you thought it would lead you to a palkia just because?!

the accusations come swift and coarse. like a river, he looks to erode her with the same faults she’s admitted to. for the more she reveals the greater the deluge.

that type of recklessness is what started the fucking war!

[attr="class","illeana i"]he has a point.

and yet, she can't see past her own thoughts. they plague her and leave her riddled with poisonous concepts.

"regardless of my reckless actions," she snaps, eyes as sharp as her tone. "there's no way they could have known a rift would open."

which leads to...

"so why were they ready to attack as soon as it came into existence?"

she's blind, more than ever before. it sounds good when she thinks it and yet... he pokes as many holes as necessary into the idea until it drowns beneath a stormy ocean.

"how do you explain the readiness? tell me how."

“BECAUSE YOU’RE FUCKING SLOPPY,” is his rebuttal.

there’s little fernando knows about the incident. too few details to parse together a full picture of what went down. all he knows is what illeana has told him. and from that, along with her own words, he points that against her.

you don’t even know how they work! bah! palkia? we’re sending the meteor hoenn and you expect them to magically open up to somewhere else?

[attr="class","illeana i"]she's made her grave...

might as well lay in it.

"sloppy doesn't explain how quickly they came through!"

a scowl twists pretty features into a monster.

"you're looking at my mistake versus what was learned from it."

she's moved past her own transgressions into a different realm of analysis. regardless of her recklessly opening a rift, there's still an oddity to it.

"if we open the rift when the meteor comes, who's to say an entire fucking army doesn't come through before the meteor falls? who's to say they don't know what we're going to do?"

“WHAT WAS LEARNED FROM IT?!” his exasperation is exhausting. they’re going in circles. “all we have to go on is your word. words that have proven untrustworthy!

they were ready? by who’s account. because you said so? because you used the primal shard incorrectly?

[attr="class","illeana i"]an angry flush has begun to coat her cheeks.

and like a thread stretched too thin, she snaps beneath verbal beating.

her ears heat and burn but her face settles into muted apathy.

"nothing."

nothing was learned aside from her own incompetence.

"it won't happen again."

not with the league's resources. not after this.

"sorry to take up your time, councilman."

she's not sorry, not really... not for that.

it leaves her with, perhaps, too much to chew on until she's sick of the taste.

DAY 1 // THE FIRST VISITOR



“GOOD.”

the epitome of this whole interaction is that no one leaves satisfied. the division between them is palpable enough for it sourness to numb the inner linings of his mouth. such temper does not disperse so easily just because their conversation is done. but fernando puts a lid on it, allows it to simmer and boil within the ceramic textiles of his body and mind.

do not let it happen again,” is his words of dismissal. when she leaves—he’s not quite aware when—the sound of her steps echo in the outside.

when he hears the hall grow quiet and faint, he slinks back into his bed. waits for a good while for her to be out of earshot. and even then, he waits, digesting the sudden turn of events.

there is anger, yes, but more unravels, strings coming undone in a great twine of words and accusations that can never be taken back. he feels frustration. desperate. disgust. not all aim at her—he too deserves some blame for this outcome—but she makes up the sponge that will absorb his resentments.

tch.

a tantrum wrings the bedsheets into clumps and knots. tight fists pound against loose bedding, pain shooting up ever fiber of his broken bones. he continues despite it all because the pain keeps him in line. allows him to vent in a privacy he seldom has.

fucking bitch, is the most prevalent thought that surfaces in a cloud of curses and insults.

but fernando’s rage never lasts too long. hoenn cannot depend on someone who allows their emotions to dictate their actions or disposition. he bottles it like fresh wine, intent on letting it age until it becomes vintage. a reclusive memory.

he sits there for a good while.

emotions drain from his place. his color fades until his ghastly paleness reflects the see-through gleam of the iv by his bedside.

alexander was my best friend,” he recites with sudden gusto. almost a perfect mimicry of what he told illeana. the reprisal is surprising considering what many consider from fernando. world class actor hardly makes the top of the list but a life of being a ‘yes man’ to his parents and faking good graces with others has honed him well.

because you don’t love me. not the way i love you.

he pantomimes the actions as well. repeats it just to make sure he has it down.

i love you illeana.

i love you illeana.

i love you illeana.

his pitch and voice changes a little each time. he knows what he said. and he knows how to make it believable. doubt trickles in but fernando remains confident.

she’s not smart enough to know better. that’s the illeana reyes that he knows.

a few more moments pass. fernando spends it in silence. calm. compose. no different from usual.

eventually he struggles for his phone.

glass. this is silph.

the acting president of silph co. can be heard mumbling something from the speaker of his device.

yes. reyes has been compromised.

he listens for a moment.

no. not removal. she fell for a phishing scam,” is the code word they use. “yes. retain access but lockdown permissions. just the essentials.

it doesn’t take more than a moment for the call to come to a close.

tch.

and fernando is left to ponder how to make up for the unexpected removal of a long time game piece.
