an aqua summonsMade it. A messy stream of kantonian letters filled the pages of his pad, the long lines of text growing and multiplying by the minute.
"Wouldn't kno. Was on the east end m'self." The youth said in response to Kazimir Wynter's question after a moment, tapping the eraser end of his pencil against the pages as he reviewed his notes.
He had to put a lot of thoughts down simply so he could organize them into not so long chunks later, since MATIAS SILPH had apparently been wearing blinders the whole time.
"Just gi'mme a sec..." Doug replied simply to Eva Morales's rather important query, dragging a line on his pad, the youth finally set the pencil down before gathering his hands together. "Alrighty! Let's start then."
"Colonel Silph's surprise attack was effective. Warded off the bulk of Rocket's fodder, threw their Elites into disarray... They managed to slip past and come within viewing distance of the primal point eventually, but it was manageable." Teleport being what it is, it was only a matter of time. "For future reference, would suggest that avatars with patrons at that level of power coordinate with other field commanders prior to taking any such actions, were possible."
He decided not to comment on destruction of infrastructure and landscape. He was sure the Council would take its time discussing such with Matias eventually. Probably. Maybe.
"Anyway, along with the colonel, Elite Ranger Kaida Adachi, Senior Ranger Julia Davis, Contractor Shalin Nariya, former Councilwoman freya morningstar and myself were left to defend the Primal point's perimeter after Groudon isolated split the battlefield. Several witness reports also mention a duo of unidentified masked characters fighting against Rocket within our vicinity. Nnneat."
Thomas Benoit and his protégé (Andraste Breathnach), whose identity he was not privy to. He was glad they had been there; things had gotten much more hectic than expected towards the end.
"Would suggest reading their reports as well if ya ever have the time; for a more complete picture. Seems like Rocket's got itself some capable foot soldiers amongst its new blood." He hummed, before pursing his lips and frowning. "Though Ms. Morningstar has been missing in action ever since the battle... No body has been found and witness reports claim they saw her leave on her own after the battle; we can only pray she's okay."
Clearing his throat, he continued, flipping on to the next page.
"Of the rockets I faced, I took note of 4; Two of them I repelled when they all first bypassed Groudon's offensive via teleport; A poison and grass type specialist based on other reports, and a rocket commander with a peculiarly colored Gallade." He said, flipping to the next page of his notes.
He vividly recalled the sudden arrival of the rockets, popping right before them in a panicked rush; a teleport to escape the sudden lava, perhaps? Something to think about in the future. Perhaps some Imprison pokemon on standby wouldn't be amiss?
"The other two, I intercepted a while 'fter. Among them was Rocket Beast Alexandra Briarwood. I first blocked her advance to the primal point, after which we were joined by her rather talkative senior. Of note was his possession of a Zeraora." He said with a hum as he flipped to the next page.
"I conflated several reported sightings and engagements, and drew up a profile for each; as I understood, a few of those present ran across some them as well. It should all be available in the league's databases. They each possessed authority over part of the Rocket forces, and Briarwoods herself is a known Rocket Beast; it seemed likely that they were all of similar rank, so I pegged them as tentative Admins or Beasts for now."
Know thy enemy and what not. They were all mostly masked, sans Briarwood, but with noteworthy specialties (Elisabeth Fiorelli), unique pokemon (Felix Gallagher) and loose tongues (jayden cross), one could try and identify them amongst the common rocket fodder in the future.
Moving on.
"Back to Major Morales' question." He said. "Yes, Megalopolans and Ultra Beasts were present at Littleroot, in alarming numbers. The Symbiont, The Glutton, The Burst... Nearly all known species of ultra beasts were present and fighting for rocket."
What the hell was that about?
"Fortunately, They only showed up once The Dark Triad finally revealed itself and attacked, so Dialga took care of most of them." At this, Doug finally paused, staring at his notes and frowning for a moment.
"And speaking of whom..." The Lt. Colonel said after a moment, frown deepening. "Ours was a minor primal point. The only difference between it and any other was that Rocket was going to assault it. Not strictly necessary for Hoenn's survival... or downfall."
Not like Mt. Pyre's was.
"But they still brought Dialga to see the job done anyway."
He drummed his fingers nervously on the tables.
It didn't make sense. It wasn't like the Dark Triad had assaulted any other of the several points either, and even if they had— Why bring Dialga, a nigh invincible and infinitely useful asset, to their little, otherwise unimportant battlefield?
The Dark Triad hadn't even even attempted to approach the energy source under the theater, either.
"Feels like we're missing something, huh?" Was there something else in Littleroot, even beyond everything they had already found...?
The youth sighed. Well, he was surrounded by a lot of people much smarter than him— even if he couldn't, he was sure someone would figure it out eventually.
"I put everything in AQUA's database if anyone wants the full, in-depth report. I'm done." He said, before leaning back on his seat. He glanced over at Elinor Anderson. "Yer input, Ms. Anderson?"
