Ah, the noble guard. The defender of progress, the guardian of modern ideals, the... the... Xenon groans as slumps against the wall of the cave and stares at the ceiling, this position was so damn boring!!! You lose one piece of intel and you get assigned to the backend of nowhere doing absolutely nothing, guarding an absolutely worthless entrance to the Ultra Wilds! She could be doing so much more right now if those stupid primitive higher ups would just entrust her with a little bit more, give her a little more room to breathe and evolve, but no! She's stuck in this stupid cave guarding this stupid portal that absolutely nobody was going to find!
[break][break]
"You feel my pain right Argon? We're serious badasses, we could be doing some real damage in there! Why the hell should we be sticking around this hole in the wall nothing of a guard post?" She turns to a blank wall to complain loudly, her only response a single eye peeking from the stone and staring at her blankly before once more submerging into the cavern wall. "Nobody understands my potential. I'm a woman of the future, you're all just struggling to look at me from behind." Xenon pouts as she kicks a rock into the darkness.

Post-Dormitum: BATTLE Vs.


The rock flew across the air in a beautiful,  arch, disappearing into the dark depths of the carverns.

plap.

"Agh, SHIT! What the hell?!" Came a second later, the cussing echoing along the walls as a figure stumbled out of the shadows and into sight, rubbing furiously at a bump on his temple.

The cap on his head had been knocked slightly out of place by the flying death rock, but it none the less revealed his alliances, the gleaming badge of the Hoenn military stitched on it unmistakable.

Looking like he had stored his coat on a barbecue rack the night prior, the officer had clearly been in a couple of scraps by now, and looked ready to get into another after that unwarranted, stony assault.

"Oi, what the fu— Uuo-oh. G- good day, ma'am. Apologies for the language!" He said, the fire in his belly cooling down somewhat as he fixed his posture and tipped his hat at the young lady. "Are ya lost? This place is kinda— well, totally dangerous right now; would you like me to escort ya home?"

Unfortunately, the youth did not quite catch Miss Antheil's badassery on first glance.

A human voice screaming from the darkness wasn't all that much of a problem for Xenon, she had been yelling into this empty cavern for long enough that she had grown used to the sound of her own voice echoing back at her from the shadows.
[break][break]
But a man's voice screaming and cursing from the darkness? That was a significantly larger problem for her.
[break][break]
But Xenon is nothing if not a professional grunt of Rocket as she pushes off the wall and thrusts one hand to her sword's hilt by her waist side, her body tense and ready to fight whoever was stupid enough to be walking around an active warzone, or rather a very inactive warzone considering the state of things in this particular area.
[break][break]
But the stranger that emerged was... surprisingly polite? He had donned the insignia's and badges of the Hoenn military, so he was obviously here as an enemy combatant... maybe he was just dumb and didn't realize she was dressed in the uniform and mask of a Rocket grunt? Or perhaps he was so arrogant that he didn't even see her as a threat? A low growl builds in her throat as she considers that option, but a gentle purple hand emerging from the wall behind taps her on the shoulder. She turns and looks at Argon's face peeking from the wall, the Gengar making very exaggerated motions at the ground and the general area around her.
[break][break]
Oh, duh. She's still in the dark. Xenon clears her throat and steps out from the shadows to face the man directly, holding herself with composure and grace as she keeps one hand firmly on her sword's hilt and another on Argon's empty pokeball. "I'm afraid the only one going home tonight will be you primitive. Surrender your Pokemon and turn around, this entrance to the Ultra Wild is not open for your kind. Or something." The whole script was kind of a pain in the ass to memorize, but she felt like she got the point across well enough. It's too bad she had to wear the mask, her face definitely would have sealed the deal scaring this cretin away. She felt very menacing right now.

From the shadows emerged not a civilian, but a (surprise surprise) Rocket. In retrospective, what the hell did he expect to find within Granite Cave, given what was going down?

Maybe the rock had knocked a few brain cells off along with the cap.

The youth scoffed at her words. Like he hadn't heard that spiel before!

""Preferring Vinyl ain't primitive, it's classy!" He didn't really know what she meant with her name calling, but he chose to be offended all the same.

Wait a moment.

"Oh shit! If you're a rocket..." The soldier gasped, blinking in realization before raising a fist at her. "Then that means you... You threw that rock at me on PURPOSE! And you call me primitive?!"

For whatever reason, the prospect of getting cut down, or worse, getting a pokemon dropped on him, didn't seem to quite perturb the young soldier.

His uniform was already in tatters and burnt, but he seemed otherwise unharmed. Hmm...

There we go, that's the reaction she was looking for! Well the shock and awe part at least. "The only class that vinyl belongs in, is business class with the rest of the peasants and primitives. Laser discs are the way of the future fool!" She had absolutely no idea why he was talking about vinyl right now, but he was still wrong and primitive!
[break][break]
Anyways this is probably the part where she should kill him.
[break][break]
"That's right primitive, I'm the one who threw that rock at your head, and now it's time for me to finish the job like a proper modern woman!" Xenon shouts as she throws Argon's empty pokeball in the soldier's general direction. This was of course nothing more than a clever misdirection on her part as she clicks her heel on the ground twice, signalling the Gengar to silently rise up from behind with a distorted Shadow Ball in hand ready to strike!

She truly must've been a brilliant strategist—

"... Business class is the one for rich people and laser discs WERE A DUMB FUCKING IDEA AND YOU KNOW IT, DAMN IT!" The youth screamed, offended beyond belief.

—Her clearly intentional fumble kept the soldier completely unaware of what was going on behind her.

He only caught the worst of her faux passes a second later.

"And you're calling me a peasant now?! Who's the primitive one again?!" This lady was the worst! Well, she was a rocket, so that wasn't exactly a shocking development, but still!

Though admittedly, he was more 'amusingly irked' than 'actually legit pissed'. Was he going insane? Given what he had seen in the span of a couple of hours so far, he should've definitely been more serious about things.

Unaware of the Gengar behind him, the youth would've probably died (again).

Unfortunately for the modern lady— for once, his matron was riding shotgun with him.

Twin rainbow orbs shone within the shadows of the soldiers' suspiciously flapping coat, their glow obvious as they stared back at the Gengar as if daring him to go for it.

"If you're riding less than first class you're poor!!!" Xenon retaliates as her pokeball hits the ground, just as Argon is winding up its Shadow Ball to slam into John's head.
[break][break]
Yet a pair of double rainbows break from the darkness and stare into the Gengar's soul, a moment stretches into eternity as it considers whether or not to go for it. If it were anything else, it probably would have tested its speed against this one, but... that primal aura piercing its soul, the feeling of something ancient watching the Gengar. Ultimately its the one to flinch as it jumps backwards at mach speed, tossing its prepared Shadow Ball straight at the darkness that hid the primal god instead.
[break][break]
And on Xenon's side, the jig is up as the empty pokeball clatters onto the ground, yet the Hoenn soldier still stands before her, very not dead and very much focused on her. "Damnit Argon, you were supposed to capitalize you damn relic!" She shouts as she pulls her sword from its sheathe and dashes forwards towards John, taking the fight to him before he could properly call out a Pokemon and turn this into a more fair fight.

"The hell's wrong with bein' poor? Ya think yer bourgeoisie or somethin'?" Scoffed the youth as he reached for his own net ball, watching the pokeball descend into the floor anxiously...

Clack.

"..." Doug stared blankly at the empty pokeball, before a sudden whoosh from behind sent the lower end of his coat flapping over his head from the force. "What the—"

[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850907874325823529/892597733599379476/Lele_is_here.mp3[/player]

Directly behind him, Tapu Lele had ejected from within his coat like a bullet, flying directly towards the shadow ball as neon lights shimmered around her, exploding outwards into a destructive fairy aura, barreling into the Shadow ball and blasting past it before following in a straight line after the Gengar with a gleeful look in her eye.

Beat.

"Ya really are bourgeoisie, ya damn swindl— WHOAH!" The youth yelped as he stumbled back and ducked underneath a swing, eyes wide. "NOW WHO'S THE PRIMITIVE ONE?!"

He scrambled back, hands fumbling for his gun before thinking twice, switching instead to a (comparatively) piddly standard issue combat knife.

"... This don't seem very fair." He said, annoyed. "Do we have to do this? I'll admit Laser Disc is good if you just, uh... let me through?"

"I know I'm bougie you peasant~" One can practically hear her smile as she charges forwards into battle-
[break][break]
A distorted laugh throws a small stumble in her step as Xenon glances over John's shoulder, a strange pink pokemon bursts from his shadow and destroys Argon's Shadow Ball in a single smash of psychic power. She's seeing double, triple, a dozen mirror images in the back of her mind as she stares at the primal deity, it has to be a god, it can only be a god, SHE NEEDS TO STOP LOOKING!!!
[break][break]
Xenon's swing goes wide as she finally tears her gaze away from Tapu Lele and back to the soldier, barely managing to regain her footing as he backs off and produces a small pocket knife from his belt. Fair? FAIR?
[break][break]
"You want to talk about fair!? Is that a fucking god!?" Her calm and collected demeanor totally snaps as she cleaves down at John's skull with a helmbreaker strike, making sure to keep him out of knifing range and firmly in the reach of her own blade. Her footing is impeccable now as she continues the fight, a battle that was certainly going much better than Argon's was...
[break][break]
Blast after blast of ghostly energy is thrown at the god of the mind and mists, each one doing next to nothing as it continues to smash through each of the Gengar's attacks with next to nothing to show for his efforts. At this point all he can do is buy time for his partner to finish the trainer off, thus it switches tactics as it tries to Hex the Tapu Lele into submission while continuing to retreat in esoteric patterns.

Doug couldn't help but grin back despite the circumstances.

"Ya just admitted yer poor, ya know?" He said teasingly as he held his knife in front of himself, preparing himself to intercept—

Unfortunately, as she oft did, Tapu Lele ruined the mood.

CLANG!

A wide eyed Doug released a teeny tiny yelp as he managed to catch the downward swing with his knife, trying to shove it aside before it actually split his dome.

"... Call it even?" He offered, before quickly scrambling back.

Unfortunately for everyone present, Tapu Lele was not feeling patient today. It was clear (to Doug) that something must've had the chaos deity somewhat antsy. The first sign was the fact that she was even there, helping him, to begin with.

He wasn't crowned as 'The Jinxed' for a reason— If Lele found anything funny, it was Doug getting his shit kicked in. Whatever had her so tense...

Well, he probably should thank it later.

Z-move: Psychic


Shattered Psyque



"WOAH!"

The legendary's aura exploded outwards without warning, a booming shockwave that threw Doug forward and off his feet like a sack of potatoes, flying into his opponent as Tapu Lele gathered all of her psychic prowess and attempted to swing the Gengar around the cavern like a pinball.

Xenon was rather unfortunately out of patience for banter now as her sword strike is barely parried away (and really how is that even possible, this loser was using a pocket knife, what kind of ludicrous strength did he have?) and she draws her sword back for another thrust at his chest. Even more unfortunately for Xenon and Argon however, was the fact that this wasn't just any Legendary god of nature, but specifically a trickster god who reveled in making everyone's life much more miserable than they had any right to be.
[break][break]
An explosion of psychic energy throws Xenon's sword out of her hands as Doug's body is sent flying into hers, knocking her mask off in the process as the two trainers tumble to the floor in a pile of tangled limbs and furious anger. Her brain is foggy as she tries to process what the hell just happened and why her head hurts so much, but the glint of steel still in Doug's hand takes precedence over anything else.
[break][break]
"I'll even out your skull!" The girl screams as she lunges for the soldier's knife and mounts him from above, grabbing the knife still clenched in his hand and trying to wrench it out of his grasp before he could gain his bearings and find it in him to actually use the knife on her very vulnerable body.

Post-Dormitum: BATTLE Vs.


Doug wasn't sure if Tapu Lele's actions could be qualified as 'helping', given the circumstances he found himself in.

On one hand, he had an (attractive, he duly noted now that her mask had been knocked off. He wondered if she realized that?) woman mounting him– a first time experience for the romantically unlucky youth.

On the other, she was trying to wrench away his knife while threatening to smash his skull on the dirt.

He had only intended to use the knife to handle the big ass sword, but it seemed like it might become his death. One of several that day.

Damn it, he had already been stabbed today, and it had sucked. At least she wasn't biting his tits like that other psychopath, what's-his-face.

While the soldier's mind continued to wander, his grip on the knife failed to hold, causing it to be wrenched free.

"Shit!" Doug spat. She really was bourgeoisie— even stealing the working class' shit! "Uh. Now, I know what you're thinking, and to that, I say— Please don't stab me?"

The sound of distorted laughter echoed down the cavern.

"Shove it! It might not kill me, but it still hurts!" He snapped back at it.

The knife is wrenched free from the soldier's hand with surprising ease as she flips it around into a reverse grip, already she's getting ready to stab this bastard right in his heart, but his heartfelt plea really seems to touch her as she gently smiles and flips the knife back into a regular grip.
[break][break]
"Well, since you asked so nicely, I won't stab you." Xenon says with a surprisingly sweet voice, completely flipping from the violent unhinged psycho she had been playing for the past few minutes.
[break][break]
And then she swings that knife right down on Doug's hand and lops a finger off in a single devastating cleave. "Call off the god or I'm taking the rest of your fingers too!" And she's right back to unhinged psycho as her eyes sharpen with deadly intent, one arm focused on holding down his hand while the other brings the knife painfully close to his other fingers to show she wasn't fucking around. She had no idea how long Argon would be able to hold up against the psychic thrashing he was surely taking right now, so the sooner she got this guy to cry for mommy the better!

He knew better. Yet, he still couldn't help but saying it.

"Really?" He said, putting in an effort into sounding hopeful.

No, of course not really.

"AAAA—!!!" Screamed the youth as the clearly insane woman lopped off one of his fingers clean. He could've admired the cleaness behind the technique had he not been the one subjected to it. Wait, that— "AAAAAAaaaiiiiI see what you did there, haha... ah, AH, fuck, FUCK!"

She hadn't stabbed him, technically. Clever.

Unfortunately (for both of them), it soon became clear that this course of action would be beneficial for neither of them.

The finger began to grow back right in front of the young woman's eyes, first bone, then cartilage and muscle, and finally skin, all underneath the neon pink trademark glow of Tapu Lele.

"Hah... Hah..." Panted the youth briefly. "... Your mask fell off, by the way."

... beat.

"... I think we can both agree torture is pretty primitive, right?"

She looks on with utter fascination as flesh and bone generate from seemingly nothing, as if she was watching a flower bloom from the ground in an instant, all illuminated by the soft pink light of a trickster god who was currently still thrashing her Pokemon without reprieve. Some might view this as a problem, but Xenon preferred to think of it as an opportunity to test the limits of a newly discovered species, like the modern scientist she was.
[break][break]
So she cut those fingers off yet again with another clean chop, completely ignoring his cries of agony as she picks up a bloody finger and experimentally sticks it in her mouth to taste it. "Hmm, real flesh and bone! You should be in a lab along with that god of yours, do you have any idea how many lives you could save if we just took your organs forever?" Xenon comments as she spits out the bloody finger and wipes the blade on Douglas's coat.
[break][break]
"Oh yeah, I guess my mask did fall off huh? Guess I'm just going to have to cut out your eyes to make sure you can never identify me." She says cheerfully as she starts bringing the knife closer to his eyes, only stopped by a stray comment from him a mere inch away. "Hmm, I suppose torture is pretty primitive... But your pet god is also kind of beating on my partner over there still-" She jerks the knife away and points in the general direction of the psychic beatdown, before bringing it back up to his throat and letting the cold metal rest on his jugular vein. "-which kind of puts me in a tight situation. So maybe if you call off your bratty little god thing, I can get around to running away instead of wasting my time cutting you apart and seeing if I can make a new you out of everything I cut off. Which I really wouldn't mind doing by the way, it would be pretty fun to see which one is considered the real Ship of Theseus."
