There is nothing more to be done here.

With Kyurem successfully banished back to its personal frigid hellscape by the combined forces of legends and other pokemon alike, the air settles cold and silent around them. Victory tempered by the bitter taste of grief and loss.

Looking back, they'd been lucky in their escape from Kyurem's wrath back in that other dimension. The fact becomes horrifyingly clear when she takes in the glacial cemetery left in its wake.

Skyler doesn't notice it until she attempts to recall Lapras back into her pokeball. 

When her fourth attempt fails, reality comes crashing down with a vengeance. Numbness sets in, creeping up like the ice that had encased the landscape in its grip. She's abruptly thankful for Shrike's warmth as she steps forward and shaky fingers reach to outline the shape of a Lapras' snout, perpetually open in a rictus of surprise.

The eyes, open and dark, are utterly devoid of life.

The captain's solemn silence speaks volumes to the depths of her past, grief and sadness encapsulated to explode later in battered fists and bloody teeth.

She only knows how to fight. Grief and loss drag her into it as easily as anger or wrath. Later, she tells herself, fingers slipping from Lapras' snout to face the incoming day.

Later.

Kepler feels his phone buzz in his pocket. Delirious and more on instinct than anything he pulls it out.

It’s a text from Ashley Shepard. He’s alive. Relief floods through him, filling his windburnt skin with warmth.

Kepler hurriedly snaps a picture of Hoopa forcing Kyurem back into the hell from whence it came. It’s blurry, but you can definitely make out the two, massive somethings.

Busy fighting a god. Call you later, love you.

His fingers are cold and sore as he types.

The air around him echoed with Ruby Garcia’s cries and Kepler winced and turned his head.

“Sorry,” he says, in the deafening silence that follows, even as greenery and light twirls and spreads along the ground, apparently prompted by fucking Celebi.

Kepler was very, very tired. And he felt bad. Felt bad for Ruby, felt bad for himself. But he had reports to write, data to sluice through, videos to edit.

“I’m sorry.”

Flexes his cold fingers as Arbalest comes back to his side, pissed that he didn’t get more of a fight. Kepler frowns at the Poliwrath, wishing he could trade for Ruby’s Houndoom while also secretly being relieved. He had spent so much damn money on the thing.

“Let’s go home.”

Ruby Garcia

tl;dr
yet another event where i did bumfuck all. kepler texts Ashley Shepard a shitty picture of hoopa and kyurem and apologizes for not being there with him.
tells ruby his sorry
he's got work to do

it was frustrating to want so badly for the destruction of the world, only to be faced with the constant threat of it and not be ready yet. human flaw was inescapable. necessary programming in a circular system of war and death. where was the bug? what exactly was the drk triad trying to scrap the whole thing over?[break][break]
her grip tightened on the assassin in her hands, taking back the inch she’d slackened in awe at kyurem’s transformation of the landscape. from behind the cover of her metagross, the head scientist had not seen the impressive handling of the situation by the unbound hoopa, but only the aftermath of the glaciate.[break][break]
”sato,” she barked hastily in Naomi Sato ’s direction, ”we need to get her to sootopolis. now.”[break][break]
her gaze passed to beheeyem hovering nearby, and past it, she took one last look around before eyes settled on a familiar suit. THEO BECKETT was alive, but there was no time to reunite. not when others, who might look to take their captive, stood closer.[break][break]
while relief passed through her, an urging to leave reached the telepathic mind of her alien pokémon, preparing to teleport them away to a discreet location, deep within the rocket-held city.

tldr:

• in brief awe of glaciate aftermath
• tells Naomi Sato we gotta go to sootopolis
• readies to teleport away via beheeyem

So, even that did nothing to that dragon. Violet kind of felt dejected by that. Yes, that was a monumental opponent. And no one else achieved anything, either, until that weird multi-armed one somehow pushed it out of existence. But it was still frustrating that, despite actually trying and using her stronger Pokemon, even pushing Mawile to stay in its mega form for a bit longer, did nothing.

Yes, on one hand, she felt at least some relief to just have survived this. That kind of power and freeze did have her legs grow week at least for a bit, after all. But at the same time…she just felt so limited. At least she didn’t die. But for the time being, there was nothing to do but watch as those Pokemon beyond comprehension took care of matters, recall her own, and then look around. There were so many people about. Including some she knew. Including some she really did not want to talk to now, especially with her rocket allegiance being possible to discern thanks to the space suit.
[break][break]
That was….probably bad.[break][break]
Time to bail. Violet immediately shifted her focus around to find her people – just in time to hear a familiar voice somewhere nearby, calling for a familiar name. Granted, it was probably not the best idea to use someone’s name in a wide open space with league members. But she took the cue anyway. Lulu wanted to retreat with her beheeyem, which had been one of the escape methods discussed before launch. Vio didn’t really wait to think any further and just rushed towards them to hopefully make it and get out with them. It wasn’t that far, but she did kind of fear they would leave her behind anyway, so she ran as fast as she could, anyway.

+ frustrated about not making much of a difference, rushes towards Lulu Flint and Naomi Sato to get TP'd out with them
