[attr="class","wownewmain"]He doesn’t like it here. There is nothing about this place that he likes. He hates that it writhes in the center of Fortree. He hates the creatures that exist here. He hates that something bad happens every single fucking time he comes in.

He swallows his concerns as the party continues to grill the little girl who had been clinging to the Celesteela.

There’s a brief argument about what they’re doing with her and Memo snorts a little bit at her stubbornness. She reminds him of him, kind of. Or his younger sister.

“Let’s go together, then,” he says, despite everything inside of him willing him to run away. He urges Nike on towards the distortion, the dragonfly fearless as she descends through the soap-bubble aurora and into the strange muted quiet.

Either radiation from the Celesteela bombing or some effect of the distortion had blown apart a large chunk of the earth. Memo pressed on Nike’s shoulders and directed her down towards the strange crater. Something akin to metal refracts off the distortion-produced lightning and, despite himself, his curiosity wins out. He touches Nike to the ground and slides off her back, immediately stepping on something that crumbles away as he plummets downward with a shout.

He falls about four feet and it's only his well-honed reflexes that save him, tucking and rolling. “I’m good,” he calls up, rubbing his shoulders where there will soon be a bruise. He’s staring into some sort of pit, he realizes, and the light fades away quickly. “There’s, like… buildings, down here?” he ventures, though it takes a second for him to realize:

What he thought of first as man-made structures are Ultra Beast carcasses. Guzzlord, Celesteela, even one seemingly gutted Buzzswole, dark and fractured with no inner light to make it glow red-orange. Memo backs up until his back is against the wall of the pit, suddenly dizzy with wondering how far down it goes.

“You know I’m not going anywhere because. Just because,” he replied back quietly as they literally flew into the distortion before something—

“Frog!” he almost yelled, though his voice got stuck in his throat as he saw his partner literally fall down much further than he intended to after alighting from the Flygon’s back.

“I was going to say… be careful,” he sighed as he urged Nike on downward to follow the amphibian who’d taken a leap into the unknown—because at least someone had to be airborne and ready to fly out should shit hit the fan…

Well, it already kind of did, considering what he’d discovered where he’d landed.

The carcasses were dimly lit, before fading into darkness as he squinted—and realized that they were. Shells. Carcasses. There was even one of the big, buff bug and he felt his skin fucking crawl at the unwanted memories suddenly rising to the forefront of his mind’s eye.

“Are… are they all dead?” he confirmed, hoping that they. Stayed dead. Because there was no way in hell he was going to face another one of those—they were shit hard to take down!

Little did he realize that he was about to fly into something that would flip all the wrong switches in his head.

• reassures his boyfriend he’s not going anywhere
• and then he briefly saw Frog take a tumble, OOPS?!
• immediately has Nike the Flygon follow him down into the dimly-lit…
• holy shit it’s an ultra beast cemetery.

Things went into motion. Not necessarily the way she wanted to, but it seemed the group was intent on not splitting up for one reason or another. Some might’ve said a wise choice.

Anyhow, she joined both men down on the ground, landing just as Guillermo was finding a surprise-hole. Alexei soon followed. But while both men were busy exploring the hole, she would in turn look at the distortion.

The winds swirling around were beginning to slow down. There probably weren’t long left on that.

Gravity once more regained a hold on them, as three fliers decided to land near the distortion proper. That familiar tingle crosses her skin once more as they enter a space removed from the normal flow of time. Hopefully it would work as she intended. It only needed to work once, in her estimation. Then she would be able to at least regain what was lost.

For that, she felt like the most important matter had been settled now. She was here and whatever would happen, would happen. However, she was freeloading on this (and potentially needed a ride back as well), so she followed the objective of the others for now. Though she probably should act nicer towards them, too. That just wasn’t her, however, so she really did not.

“If they weren’t dead, we’d already be assaulted,” she instead dryly noted while disembarking from her savior’s mount. Immediately, she brought out her Lycanroc again. This was a place where things had died and could die again. Lash would feel vulnerable without a Pokemon of her own on the field. Not that she would show any fear, though. “One could think this is the first Pokemon graveyard you see. Or the aftermath of a quite lop-sided battle, I guess.” She shrugged, but ultimately tried to play it completely cool with only the slightest of huffing and puffing. “Anyway, this is a distortion, so unless you see something really ominously glowing or something that might have killed them and could kill us, I don’t think they’d be any dangerous. Kind of way better for us that they’re dead, not alive,” she noted while looking around for anything of interest.

There was always, well, just ‘stuff’ lying around in these to collect and investigate. Best find some before it fades. Sure, she just wanted her years back.
But a little extra is always good, too.

[attr="class","wownewmain"]“I hope they're dead,” Memo said, his voice trembling the slightest bit, “I really fucking hope so.”

The girl they’d rescued drones on in certainly something meant to be insulting, a wasp-like buzz that Guillermo tunes out with the ringing of his ears.

Violet lightning without thunder streaks through the air, kicking up the smell of ozone and electrical charges.

“Can we go home now?” he asks, louder and to the group at large, in a petulant, child-like manner.

Some banter was had between Lascil and Guillermo. The girl made a good point, surprisingly good point. So good in fact that Elinor decided to make no further observations on it.

She turned her attention to the spiraling distortion that was slowly growing slower.

“So, why did you want to go to the distortion so bad?” Elinor asked Lasciel Elis eying the young girl and her Pokémon for a moment before returning her gaze to the potential danger of the spiral.

Due to being extremely distracted by what was going on around him, little did he realize that he’d flown into a sudden burst of fog that obscured his field of vision.

“Wha—?!” he trailed off, caught by surprise at the obscuration, before looking around wildly.

“Miss Elinor? F—Memo?! Wh—where are…?!”

And that was before forgotten images of memories, quietly lurking in the back of his mind, began rising to the forefront. As he continued to fly around aimlessly in the fog, he could hear voices. Voices echoing all around him as he looked around wildly, reacting to things that only he could see and hear.

(Unfortunately though, someone among their little traveling party would realize what’s up.)

The more he dawdled around in the fog, the more the voices got louder; at least until such time he’d found his way out, and his gaze fell on the other male travelling with them.

Strangely, or terrifyingly, rather, he was glaring Memo down.

“Why… didn’t you tell me everything?”

[attr="class","wownewmain"]Elinor Anderson asks the crazy girl why she so badly wanted to fly into the rift, which was a good fucking question, if Guillermo thought about it. But something about this place put his teeth on edge, and he didn’t really want to think about it.

“Let’s get out of here first, if you don’t mind, councilwoman,” Memo said, whistling for Nike to swing down and grab him. “We can have storytime later. My treat.”

He reached up and grabbed Nike’s neck, turning his body to throw his legs over her, when suddenly Alex was above him on Kyouya. Memo gave his heart a shaky smile, a sign that things were getting better, and then his expression fell into one of confusion.

“Everything, what?” he asked, shaking off the dismay he felt roiling in his gut and squeezing his heart as the environment doing its best to unseat his courage. Thinking it was something innocent that had irritated his boyfriend, he continued, “What are you talking about? And... can it wait until we get home, please?” He was not above whining to get what he wanted.

Lash pouted slightly in response to that question. People always asked that. As if it was any of their business. It was so annoying. Just because she had this kind of body did not mean she had to be treated like a child, in her opinion. Sure, she got why people did it. But she refused to not be annoyed by it.

“Do. Why ‘do’ I want to go to the distortion so bad. And its simple. I lost something important in a distortion. Something I can’t just replace. Only way to even have a chance of getting it back is through another distortion. Like, if you lost your Pokemon partner in one, you would try to find it in the next distortion, right? Well, more misplaced of sorts. Lost sounds too final in that regard.” Granted, she had no idea if she could truly find what was lost in one.

But she was going to try, regardless. Before she could press the issue though, one of the men that had come with the apparent councilwoman seemed to have some kind of episode. “Everything alright with him? He looks like he has distortion disorder without even being in one.”

So, Recap.

Alex was having an Episode. Guillarmo wanted them to get out of here, which Elinor found to be perfectly reasonable. And the kid gave her some strange mysterious metaphor for why she wanted to go into the Distortion.

All of these various things melded together into a mild headache that Elinor felt throbbing in the back of her head.

All of the talking, the annoyance, and such meant that precious time had been wasted. And so the space/time distortion faded away. The winds eased, the crackling of energy disappeared.

And in an almost sad whimper the distortion faded. And for a moment Elinor thought that it would be the end.

Little did she realize that a fleck of the red ore she had carried in her Pocket ripped a hole through her pocket as it flew into position smack dab in the middle of where the distortion had been, and there it would just hover. Leaving Elinor with questions, and no answers.

Ugh. That person. She probably was a councilwoman after all. Lash would believe that.

Because all she did was talk, not act. And she did not even talk much in the first place! Annoyed, the apparently youngest of the group could already see where that all was going. And, frankly, she had not asked to join up with these weird strangers to begin with. Neither did they have a right to hold her back or anything like that.

Sure, they had been helpful. Yes, they might have come out looking for her because they thought her in danger. But this, all of this, would just be completely useless if she just sat here on top of this flier and watched the distortion fade away. Lash knew those well enough to know when one was about to flicker out of existence.

And fortunately, the Councilwoman had been so busy hesitating that she had not gotten much distance between it and herself to begin with. In fact, Lash decided to make a move. She eyeballed the distance and decided that they could make it.

Hence, she simply let go of the Councilwoman and pushed herself over the side of her ride, while also going for her Pokeball again. A risky move, definitely, but she should have just enough time to release Lycanrock and mount it again mid-fall.

Which, surprisingly, did work well enough, letting them get to that point right before entering the distortion. “Rock Slide at the last moment, use the momentum against the fall,” she ordered as she held onto the Pokemon for dear life. This should work. Physics did not mean much in the face of a Pokemon that could just kind of conjure rocks, but the act of throwing them did have to create some backward momentum in a situation like that.

And somehow, that worked, just after they had entered the distortion for a good few feet – but it also pushed them straight out of the retracting sphere again. By the time they landed with a thud that did hurt quite a bit, but was survivable, the distortion was already gone. In its stead, there now was some hovering red stone. “Damn,” she muttered, clenching her fists.
