Penelope and Greyson Connors.
[break][break]
Councilwoman and ex-gym leader.
[break][break]
By titles alone, the two held enough wait to command the next line of defenses. But, alas, there needed to be those left with the more foundational tasks. Like, for example, sabotage.
[break][break]
Stationed near one of the opened rifts, the two were awaiting an incoming enemy supply line to breeze by. According to their intel, it was meant to be a semi-large shipment of pokeballs and potions, and other supplies to aid their war efforts against the League.
[break][break]
Penelope was leaning against her camerupt. Her eyes kept trained on the hole they were expecting the grunts to emerge from - the same hole they'd scattered layers of stealth rocks around.
[break][break]
"To think I had brunched plans before this," she frowned, trying to lighten the mood with a soft tease, "Hoenn can really be unfair sometimes, huh."

greyson barks a short-lived laugh.
[Break][break]
"first world problems, eh?"
[Break][break]
his fingers toy with the bracelet of flowers on his wrist, idly humming something tuneless.
[Break][break]
"feels like we're always at war about something these days." he sighs. "with any luck no one will come through."

"yeah, well," she shrugged, though her lips remained curled and lighthearted.
[BREAK][BREAK]
Even if their laughter remained the sole glimmer of the night, it felt nice to revel in its intimacy. It served as a reminder that not all was lost. In some ways, the bridge between them was still there.

greyson nods, the sentiment shared.
[Break][break]
"i don't disagree, but i'd feel uneasy, if i was league leadership, if things are too quiet for a month."
[Break][break]
it was a decision, and thought process, that he could see taking a mental toll.
[Break][break]
"at least we know now that there's a goal, and how we can approach stopping it."
[Break][break]
he suppresses another sigh at the needless violence.
[Break][break]
"speaking of-" not really "-you been keeping up your training? i've worked out a new method i think you'd enjoy."

It was looking like lightheartedness would find no place in their conversation.
[break][break]
No matter, Penelope would just have to adjust.
[break][break]
The blithesome nature of her tone faded as icy dissonance slid in its place. With it came the placid mask of an esteemed councilwoman.
[break][break]
"You're right," she nodded, " at least, in this way, we can feel prepared for what we're up against. Instead of aiming blindly at shadows."
[break][break]
Especially given how shadows took many forms. Some more ferocious than others.
[break][break]
"I've been on and off. Why? What do you have in mind?

his tone is light, laugh easy, even amidst the heavy topic of conversation.
[Break][break]
"we don't need to do it here, the training, i mean." he gladly would, but the councilwoman was under an ocean of pressure as it was - pun intended.
[Break][break]
"but here, i can show you." taking out his porygon2, and one of his delphoxs', he guides the fire-type into threading a sliver of psychic energy into the computer-pokemon.
[Break][break]
"i store memories of battles inside this porygon. then, using psychic terrain, simulate their capabilities, strategies, strengths, weaknesses, etc."
[Break][break]
he smiles, bashful.
[Break][break]
"sorry, i can get a bit lost in it. it's wildly incomplete, and still needs much more data. but, when utilized properly, the results are endless. we can test it, if I have the data. who, or what, do you want to simulate?"

So that's what he was up to all this time.
[break][break]
"Nono, don't apologize. It's nice seeing you all fired up."
[break][break]
In some ways, she missed it. If only time wasn't so quick to escape them.
[break][break]
Crossing her arms over her chest, she leaned back with a wide crooked smile.
[break][break]
"Mmm, surprise me."

[attr="class","wownewmain"]his apologies came automatically. a condition of his anxiety, if he had to admit.

"okay," he rolls his hands, and squints, as his mind works.

"got it!"

no words are needed, only intentions. the PSYCHIC TERRAIN swirls and lifts, purple-hued smoke forming until they begin to solidify into something resembling a man, and his pokemon.

MATIAS SILPH and virizion. a memory pulled straight from greyson's sword training.

"i've yet to see groudon in action, but... i look forward to adding that to my database." his wanderlust is short-lived, as he realizes he's getting distracted. "what do you think?"

The project took shape, and with its sudden spark of growth, Penelope was instantly enraptured. She leaned forward, interest caught in the fishnet of technology. A careful eye is set on the psychic projection of MATIAS SILPH and his virizon.

[attr="class","wownewmain"]he rolls his bottom lip in thought, considering the question.

"within' reason." he wills the image to change, to the first time they visited the shrine outside of oldale. it lacked the same fluidity of the previous example; grainy, and choppy.

"the older the memories, the less reliable. even newer ones can't be trusted entirely. that's why i keep them in porygon's database for permanent storage."

he smirks at her.

"got a request?"

While grainy, there was no denying the way her heart leaped at the projected image. It looked just as she remembered it - from the pieces of litter dotting the ground, to the small symbol they'd spent the afternoon discussing.
[break][break]
Temptations asked her to reach out to it. To physically recapture moments that'd fallen so far away.
[break][break]
A soft sigh tumbled out, and with it, she glanced back up at the other, lips slanted into a crooked smile.
[break][break]
"hmm..."
[break][break]
A soft shadow swept over her features as a thought came to mind.
[break][break]
"Show me Mirage Island. After we exited those terminals."

he turns his smile onto her, lifting a hand.

"perhaps you want to lead this one?"

the cord of psychic energy follows his outstretched hand, waiting patiently for consent.

"just.. bring it to the forefront of your mind. delphox will do the rest."

She nodded, accepting his request.
[break][break]
But the thoughts that came rushing through the tunnels of her mind were far from the present they'd witnessed together. No, rather than focus on which they'd selected, her memories were a glimmer into Hoenn's future. And it's ruination.
[break][break]
The scorched world is marred by chasm and withering. In time, everyone will come to realize that this is Hoenn. Perhaps, in the end days.
[break][break]
Around them, they see the dead. People and Pokemon. It is as if Mt. Pyre has tipped over and spilled itself over the hellscape.
[break][break]
Massive spears of glowing light stand erect in the charred dark. The closest one is plunged through the lifeless body of a Xerneas. Another is struck through the ribs of a Kyogre. West of the leviathan, a Groudon and Zekrom can be seen impaled too, their bodies dangling mid-shaft.
[break][break]

Many others can be found like this: Articuno, Yveltal, a Shadow Lugia, Ho-Oh, an Origin Forme Giratina, Reshiram, Darkrai, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Suicune, Uxie, and a Mesprit, among many others...
[break][break]
However, even worse perhaps, are the strewn forms of Hoenn's many fallen trainers and their other beloved companions. Everyone was affected by this futile struggle. No one was able to stop it. After all, the ambitious and invested have contributed to the fall of all things.
