Dressed in tactical gear and wearing a mask that covered his face, Gunner rode on the back of his Salamence, Bruin. The Dragon Pokémon carried parcels of treasure from the Ultra Wilds between his front claws, to be delivered to the frontline in Ultra Deep Sea.[break][break]

However, ahead of them, Gunner could see a barricade set up among the nature rock formations of Granite Cave. Several unknown persons, dressed in dark clothing and also wearing masks, waited for them alongside their Pokémon.[break][break]

As soon as Gunner and Bruin were in range, one of them attacked. A Slowbro sent a PSYCHIC blast at his Salamence, who staggered mid-flight. The special agent held on, nervous for the cargo Bruin carried.[break][break]

"Heads up!" Gunner yelled over to his partner for the transport. "Rockets ahead!"

if she makes it out of this alive, may just kill her himself. her foray with the last rocket had left her bloody. aeris was unconscious and is still uncovering. lyune had come out of the battle worse for wear after tanking hits from the rocket's hydreigon, and wearing himself thin with his mega evolution. 

a few short hours ago, she'd still been with king, watching one of her beloved dragons get snapped in half by a monster. the same type of monsters that lie in wait through the rifts. the same monster held within the pokeball she currently rolls in her fingers.

they'd stapled her shoulder back together and wrapped her in gauze. she'd gotten a couple of stares when they patched the second wound, one of her own making.

the copper in her hair flakes off as she gathers it up in a messy braid. her limbs ache as she dons her chestpiece again. it sags slightly where the dagger had slipped under and cut some of the scales loose. someone tries to tell her she should go home. 

she reports to a different station instead.

in the air again, assigned to someone she doesn't know and doesn't care to know, she flies. those infernal words of her adversary are still burned in her brain, laced with infectious barbs of self-loathing. just like you were too late for sootopolis. 

her partner's salamence staggers and freya follows gunner's shout. the beast she is on is no lyune, but she comes close. scales the color of dried blood descend upon the slowbro, dragon claws slicing neat ribbons into its belly. it's flung to the side as the rest of her hits the ground, sending the rockets diving.

"go," freya roars.

Gunner needed no further urging. He pressed his heels into Bruin's sides, and the Salamence sped forward, unleashing a FLAMETHROWER into the Rocket grunts below him. Screams filled the air.[break][break]

Glancing over his shoulder at his companion, Gunner's worries shifted to her. When she'd strode up to volunteer for the transport, he almost told her to go home. But the look in her eyes had stilled his tongue, and he let her come along instead.[break][break]

A roar from Bruin shook Gunner out of his thoughts. Ahead of them, two other Dragon-type Pokémon flew up to intercept him and his partner.[break][break]

The first one, a Dragonite, gathered power for what the special agent knew was a HYPER BEAM. His Salamence saw it, too. Just before the energy beam sliced through the air, Bruin veered left, dodging it.

she loses herself to it, remembering all at once what she was made for. atarka's muscles ripple gloriously. claws and fang scratch ineffectively at her sides while she thrashes in the midst of bodies, brutally swinging her body weight about. her dance is macabre and bodies fall around them; the more that fall, the stronger she becomes. 

but they are organized and they are efficient and overcome the initial surprise of the dragon landing right on top of them. pokemon are recalled into the safety of their balls; those who commandeer fae take the frontline. 

her position becomes all the more dangerous. she grins, teeth still stained red. 

the first moonblast makes its way towards them and atarka bellows. her claws dig deep into the earth, erecting a wall of stone separating the rest of the grunts from freya. as they frantically call orders on the other side, freya twists her reins and takes off again to recoup with gunner.

she does not have the advantage or the sightlines he does; they are not as quick to dodge when his salamence suddenly veers to the side. the hyper beam slams into atarka and she nose-dives. 

her tail swishes and her wings fan out as she recovers, though freya knows she doesn't have much left in her. 

"keep going," she urges, and so she climbs. 

atarka's MOXIE is active

The HYPER BEAM smashed into the other Salamence. Glancing back, Gunner watched her dive to the ground, then catch herself in mid-air.[break][break]

"You okay?" he shouted, half-turning in his seat upon Bruin's back. His own Pokémon did not look back or slow down, his cargo too precious to keep from their allies for long.[break][break]

More enemies swarmed through the air, lunging for them. Bruin bellowed, ramming at full speed into one of them with ZEN HEADBUTT. His unfortunate target plummeted to the earth.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Gunner reached into his pack and pulled out a scatterbang. But instead of throwing it at the ground to create a deafening noise, he aimed at the Charizard that flew right at him.[break][break]

BANG.[break][break]

Pokémon scattered, startled by the sound. Gunner knew they would soon recover and return to their pursuit, but his maneuver had afforded Bruin enough time to speed ahead, creating distance.

echo
"we're fine," she shouts, but as atarka gains her momentum again, freya drops one hand from her reins and presses it to the slit in her mail. she winces at the pain, but that's not what makes her swear under her breath. in the jostling, some of her sutures had popped. blood comes away on her fingers. 

that's a problem for later. 

the scatterbang makes atarka snarl, but she does not veer away like some of the other flying assailants do. freya urges her onward; white hot flames spurt from her maw, felling riders and their mounts alike.

another ball is ripped from her chest. she'll just have to hope gunner and his salamence won't hit her friendlies in the fray. nevy and echo's wings snap open when their balls are launched behind her. 

she sticks her hand in her mouth, tasting copper and salt, and whistles loudly. the two veer at her pitch; nevy causes confusion and mayhem while echo flutters about the floating pitch and rock formations, blasting them in the general direction of their foes. 

but her teeth grit and atarka's roar is a crow of warning; someone on the back of a black-scaled charizard makes a move for the cargo.

Without warning, the black-scaled Charizard slammed into Bruin, tearing and ripping with fang and claw. The attack threw the Salamence off course, causing him to toss Gunner off his back. The box of treasures slipped from Bruin's claws and plummeted to the ground.[break][break]

"No!" Gunner roared even as he fell, racing the Charizard toward the cargo below. Bruin plummeted, too, unconscious. The agent recalled his Salamence and did the only thing to save himself that came to mind.[break][break]

He threw a Pokéball down at the box. In a flash of light, it ejected its resident: a small, pink blob with black-dot eyes and a wide smile.[break][break]

"Dagonet!" Gunner shouted over the roar of wind. "Get that box!"[break][break]

Soft flesh expanded in an instant, twisted grotesquely. Tiny nubs burst into white claws. A long neck, horned head, and fanged snout emerged. Blue flame came to life at the end of a black, whiplike tail.[break][break]

The Charizard clone seized the box, flapped its wings, and caught Gunner on its back.

echo
atarka is built for brute strength, not speed. where nevy could help, she's currently locked in a tangle with some enemy noctowl and echo is equally occupied. so freya can only watch with a heavy heart as their cargo plummets to the ground. 

pale gold eyes simmer and she roars alongside her copper-scaled dragon, stringing an arrow from her quiver. the rider of the black-scaled charizard circles when he sees his plan has failed. 

freya sucks in a tight breath; atarka's gait is not as familiar to her, and she curses as she looses the first arrow and it goes wide. the second, though, as she nears, rips through the rocket grunt's throat as he goes to call an order to his charizard. 

he topples over, dead well before he hits the ground.

they finally catch up and freya looks down at the two of them. another arrow is nocked and at the ready.

Despite the odds and the fierce battle, Gunner finally spotted their destination: a League barricade right outside the rift into Ultra Deep Sea. Behind it, an outpost for resupply and medical aid helped those entering and leaving the rift.[break][break]

Dagonet descended, alighting on rough, rocky ground. Gunner slid off its back as several League officials took the box from it. Then the Ditto transformed back into its normal, squishy form and hopped onto his trainer's shoulder.[break][break]

A nurse approached Gunner to ask about injured Pokémon. He handed her Bruin's Pokéball and thanked her as she walked off to heal the Salamence. Then he turned his eyes to the ceiling of the cavern, watching for the woman who'd battled with him to make the delivery.

as they near their destination, the rocket forces trickle to near nothing. exhausted, atarka lands heavily on the ground. freya slips off her hard scales, feeling her aches and pains all over, but goes to her side to her front. she presses her fingertips to atarka's chin and gets the salamence to lift her enormous head. 

the scales on her chest are blackened, but she is whole. freya pulls out her ball and returns her. 

a few paces away, she spies her companion. someone leaves his side to approache her and asks if she needs medical attention. she's close enough to the surface that she knows they'll request her to evacuate, so she shakes her head, saying the blood on her is someone else's. 

and they slip off without a second thought, with too many other wounded to tend to. she grits her teeth and mounts up again, ready to go deeper. her farewell to her companion is unceremonious: a simple nod of the head before she's gone.
