GOODBYE GALAR: RUSTED SWORD

THE MEMORY CONFIRMS THAT THE MATTERS ARE CIRCUMSTANTIAL AND NOT A PREDETERMINED ONE: if Selena is correct to assume, then their fate relies on what they do next. If she is to believe the CALYREX and its words, then it is their action that affects the story.

The High King is cryptic but its words hold true to what she actually sees.

When Selena finally opens her eyes after being teleported, her gaze scans throughout the remains of Hammerlocke, except this might just be a memory reconstructed as well. The city is very different from what she used to know: the barren wasteland of what was once a city is enveloped by the venomous liquids and people who look like they are from the feudal years are hiding behind their pitchforks and sickles.

This is definitely not Galar, Selena accepts. But it might definitely be the place where they chronicle 'stories of heroism' and be the harbingers to the Hero of Many Battles. She almost laugh at the prospect, recalling her conversation with how Team Rocket can never be heroes. It turns out he might be wrong.

She scans the area for teammates but only is there. And she sees an awful lot of familiar faces—that of , , , , —people who have been her allies and friends in the past. They do not know that she defected yet. They may not even know she is here with them in this nightmare. It goes without saying that this is another reminder for her to be cautious about her actions.

"." For the first time in a while, Selena finally uses the Rocket comms to her S.P.E.C.T.R.A. Teammate. "Selena here. We're outnumbered in Hammerlocke. Best to be in touch and just keep to ourself, gather information in the mean time before we do stuff. Do you copy?

If the other has sharp ears, he can hear the panting in Selena's voice as she runs around the city with Lucifer to help find the hiding peasants. The Umbreon eventually PASSES THE BATON to the Flutter Mane, allowing the former to finally rest. Podarge then soaks from all the power it can get from the MIDDAY sun as it prepares for what is to come.

⚜️


"PEASANTS OF GALAR, UNITE! You have the power to change your story. Use your pitchforks and sickles and fight! You will never die in vain."

Her wornout voice is an echoing noise throughout the city, a feeble reminder of what is to come. Perhaps, previous endeavors already helped convince the few to take action for themselves. Perhaps, they will realize that there is nothing else to lose. After all, it is the masses that are the motive forces in the making of a history. Selena believes that a hero will not accomplish any feat without the support of the toiling masses.

Those who have been roused are escorted by Selena to stations where they need to setup barricades for city defenses. All kinds of things: tools, rubbles, rocks, are all piled up into walls to protect from the incoming attacks. And as the masses finally move, so does Selena with her plan.

⚜️


"So, how can I help?"

She meets with , , who have already been in the Castle Wall. She makes no effort introducing herself anymore and proceeds to investigate what is happening to the Power Spot. She observes the poison oozing from the stone cap and tries to recall if this is similar to that of the poison in the wooden effigy from the Wyndon Stadium. Is this related?

From under her breath, she speaks in a hushed tone in her comms to . "Updates?"

TL;DR
- SELENA contemplates CALYREX's cryptic response.
- SELENA is teleported to HAMMERLOCKE, makes a perception check about her surroundings.
- SELENA takes note of present League member she knows and reminds herself to be cautious. SELENA also sees .
- SELENA to via comms: "Selena here. We're outnumbered in Hammerlocke. Best to be in touch and just keep to ourself, gather information in the mean time before we do stuff. Do you copy?
- SELENA follows up on 's effort to INSPIRE THE PEASANTS and gives a PUBLIC SPEECH for the Galarian peasantry.
- UMBREON uses BATON PASS and switches to FLUTTER MANE; all assumed POWERUPS carried over
- FLUTTER MANE uses ability PROTOSYNTHESIS to try absorb any power from the Midday Sun in preparation
- SELENA goes to the POWER SPOT and meets , , and and asks what she can help with; tries to check if the poison oozing from the power spot is the same as the one from the Wooden Effigy
- SELENA to via comms: "Updates?"

The moment they were taken to their respective destinations, there was… one thing on his mind: trying to get out of Hammerlocke to head over to Spikemuth—which, if his memory was thinking right—was rather close by.

Now the problem was that… there was so much going on with the… with the people(?), and then there were the piles of goo. Which… weren’t really actually goo, but actual sludge monsters!

“What the hell?!” he exclaimed the moment he saw a ‘hand’ of some sort rising out of the noxious-looking goo. “That’s… what a mess.”

He was debating on whether or not to use one of those, but decided against it and would save them for much later.

In the meantime, though?

It was clobberin’ goo-exterminating time.

Swapping Pokémon companions to his Gardevoir, Tatiana, he knew he had his work cut out in front of him—just how much of these puddles were around the place? Judging by the size of the city… this was going to take a while.

“Tat, let… let’s get to work.”

The dual-type gave him a look that literally screamed ‘dismay’, but sighed—and began setting off to work, making their way downtown, walking fast, faces flash and I’m homebound through the city and getting rid of as much of the puddles of goo where the poison ‘hands’ would emerge with the Gardevoir’s Psychic.

It would take them some time to get back to where they came from, however he hoped that what he’d done would be enough—considering that was a lot of goo they had to get rid of with a good Psychic scrubbing here and there.

But was it going to be enough?

• Hammerlocke, here we are. Looks like trying to go to Spikemuth would be a bad idea…
• ‘what the hell are THOSE things?!’ (sees poison ‘hands’ coming out of the goo piles)
• Alex.exe gets to work, swaps Lucario for Gardevoir
• the two then spend their entire day going around Hammerlocke, getting rid of the poison hands with Psychic

so much of what's being said goes over her head. she's lucky she's been on so many missions into the Fucked Up and Crazy with nomi, 'cause if she hadn't, she would certainly be losing her shit right now. honestly, she's kind of befuddled that everyone else seems totally chill having been flung into an alternate universe with, quite possibly, no hope of returning home. 

the next thing she knows is blinking and being somewhere else. circhester? she's never been outside of hoenn. you could have told her this was snowpoint and she couldn't tell you the difference. 

but after getting her bearings, they're ripped away from her 'cause she locks eyes and sees that stupid, irresistisble smile of one . and dumbly, stupidly, she keeps looking, and she realizes skyler is grasping the granola thief's hand () and parker.exe stops working. 

damn, guess we won't get to skinny dip just yet. 

HUH?

her gaze darts back with welcome abandon; the puzzled anguish in her eyes melts immediately. and she is able to, quite easily, place the sharp-toothed blonde out of mind. doubly so, because nomi is getting that look on her face when something really intrigues her. 

parker also knows she just needs to wait. it won't be long before the head scientist has -

with the plan in place, parker swaps out her stressed absol for one of her girls. it makes her feel a little better, knowing that the tanky reptile is out now, should things start to get hairy. and more than that, she's going to be extra helpful with assisting nomi. 

and then, quite fantastically, parker's past actions finally reap their consequences. 

she nods towards and then looks to her side at queenie. with a gesture and a quick, "you heard the lady," queenie plants her feet apart and gives a good couple of stomps to summon an earth power in the middle of the power spot. while she is conveniently indisposed, she sees

she does not see the look of recognition, but she does recognize the mask. his get-up is the same as it was when he'd broke her motherfuckin' rib. and when he curls his fist, well, parker spurs to action.

ain't no way she's letting this asshole anywhere near nomi.

"ready for round two, fuckface?" she snarls as she crosses the distance with heavy footfalls and cracking knuckles.

This place reminded her of the mecha kingdom, mechanical pieces all moving about with steam erupting from all over. Or at least, it should have been steam coming out. [break][break]

Instead, black and purple ooze leaks out from the machinery and a...train?! The train calls to Melody as suddenly Michael and the girl he told her about, @tsubaki mount the spectrier, she wished she had brought her glastrier with her to keep up. "Navy!! Wait!" she yells as smeargle wasn't able to help Melody travel very far. However it was too late as when Navy takes off suddenly, gloop hands emerge from the ground and Melody draws her sword. She started to become surrounded by toxic creatures. "Are these that thing's underlings?!" She asks anyone on the comms as Melody was stuck. [break][break]

There were too many for her to take on right now as suddenly a train whistle rang out, muffled. Melody looks over and sees a train chugging through town, spewing out globs of poison instead of steam. She looked to her smeargle and the power bestowed unto it by Volcanion early in her adventure, could she purify the poison this way? [break][break]

She sees opening, slashing at two of the hands that tried to grab and restrain her as Smeargle ducks underneath her. The hands give chase after her but she uses her lessons from the mecha kingdom, hopping onto one of the gears as it turns and lifts her into the air, she then leaps over to a different pipe and balances herself as smeargle continues to try and follow. She spots catching up to her and jumping into the conductor car and attempting to pull on the brakes. [break][break]

The pipe they were standing on was above the path of the train so Melody attempts to leap onto the train and smeargle panics jumping after her as Melody. They both land successfully ontop of the train as Melody stabs the roof of the cabin to steady herself. "Smeargle! Glaciate!" she orders as the TAKE HEART she had it use earlier came into play now [break][break]

GLACIATE activates and an EXPANSE OF ICE AND FROST begins to attempt to coat the train, lowering the temperature of the coal engine to slow it down some and freeze the gears to try and prevent them from continuing to rotate.

Every place they had seen looked like hell on earth. Serena could only begin to question what happened here. It looked like some apocalyptical nightmare. And as she silently studied/judged the remnant citizens she questioned why they would even want to stay in such devastation anyway. This entire place seemed beyond saving if you asked her. [break][break]

Those people around her, some strangers some friends, began to quickly act as things around them fell into motion. Serena realized she had a role to play too while she was here and she couldn't just ignore 'her peoples' plights. Serena swapped out Momo for her shadow mime jr. instead. [break][break]

These...poison hands looked like something fresh out of an MMO. Unlike the games she was used to playing though, if they made a mistake here she was sure it would cause them trouble later. Eager to get into combat Joker bristled with PSYCHIC energy as she began to channel the move the offensive move against the poison hands. The psychic energy was effective against them which suddenly sparked a thought in Serena's head. Could psychic energy potentially help against the poison Rowan was exposed too?[break][break]

The light takes them.[break][break]

A sooty, ash-filled sky greets Gideon as he rematerializes into a skewed resemblance of Circhester. He recognizes the basic framework of the city - its ruined buildings and landmarks - but the townspeople strike him as... incredibly odd. In rags not befitting the much more modern setting.[break][break]

For as long as you live. It was all extremely troubling. Thoughts of never escaping clawed at the edges of Gideon's resolve, clutched at his chest until it ached. Thankfully, he wasn't alone, and that helped ease some of the uncertainty.[break][break]

and were here, along with others they apparently recognized as friendly like and .[break][break]

But there was no time to linger. Both of his companions issued a quick farewell before departing, with Gideon replying, "Be safe. I'll see if I can help elsewhere."[break][break]

What to do now? The professor's eyes followed as the other made his way to the town's famous historical structure. The Hero's Bath was not as Gideon remembered it when he'd visited years ago, however. It's pristine marble and comforting waters were ruined by the toxins blighting the rest of Circhester.[break][break]

Gideon took a step forward to join Rowan at the bath, but a familiar voice stopped him short. A masked figure approached, all too recognizable by this point. , though Gideon wouldn't call his brother by name in case his hidden identity was a matter of safety.[break][break]

"...It's a long story." One that they would both need to tell later. Now wasn't the time. "The bath needs to be cleared for the hero — probably? It's worth trying, anyway. I'll start my efforts there."[break][break]

Except fate decided otherwise. allowed his brother to walk away and work elsewhere, thinking they would catch up later once everyone had gotten their bearings — except everyone apparently included the likes of .[break][break]

Freezing in place, Gideon watched with a throbbing shoulder as his former assailant traveled up the same cobblestone street as his brother. Toward the city's central stadium, most likely, judging by the eerie purplish-pink light emanating up into the sky from within the domed structure.[break][break]

Gideon followed, releasing his SLOWKING in case a brawl broke out. How could he not? A reunion between and did not bode well. He arrived just in time to witness inane posturing from Parker, Gunner curling his fist. There were others, too, some he recognized (? Why was she here?) and some he didn't ( and a masked ).[break][break]

The elder Graves brother placed a placating hand on the younger's shoulder, tightening his grip in warning.[break][break]

"Now is not the time for infighting. We have much more pressing issues, wouldn't you agree?" Gideon glared at , his low voice sharp and cutting despite the suggestion of a truce. As if to emphasize their working together, the professor gestured for his SLOWKING to aid in clearing the well with its PSYCHIC powers.[break][break]

[attr="class","star2tsu"]You know the excuse well. [break][break]

It's for that same reason you rebelled against your inattentive father, the same reason you deserted the Rockets who dyed your soul black by association, all those terrible things you've done. Freedom. Yes, freedom is the cause of so many of this world's evils. People think that it is a virtue unto itself, even when the pursuit itself could so easily be for the freedom to commit evil on another. The freedom, to have to fend for yourself while you are abandoned by your king. [break][break]

Freedom, that forbidden fruit, tastes so bittersweet and melancholy. It makes you wanna puke.[break][break]

"That's exactly what my father would say." [break][break]

It's impossible to convey the weight in your chest as you realize that fact. He's one and the same, the kind of person to let his subjects, his children, fend for themselves because he's so conceited, so self-absorbed. And he has the ego to call his neglect the righteousness worthy of a king.[break][break]

"You're no king. A king doesn't abandon his people, no matter what. The world's fallen to this state cause you gave up, cause you're weak... that's why we gotta go fix it, isn't it?"[break][break]

All the venom that wells in your heart spills from your mouth, you gaze at him with utter scorn. You turn, beginning to walk away. [break][break]

... At that moment, you're swept off your feet in a huge bear hug. It startles you so much, makes you jump out of your skin, you think the king has retaliated for your harsh words at first. But no, it's simply the excitable man to whom you owe everything, a man who wears his affection like a sword at his side, drawing it at a moment's notice.[break][break]

"H-hey! What're you—? N-Navy!? H-HEY—!!"[break][break]

He picks you up off the ground in a moment, before you can even catch your bearings. You're set atop a large spectral horse, cold and unsettling to the touch. You look down at it, the steed of a so-called king, letting a commoner like you ride atop it without complaint. You sigh, exasperated that the comparison could even be drawn, and yet...[break][break]

Before you can turn to offer final words to the king, you are already headed through a portal. The gut-wrenching feeling of being tossed head over heels is unmistakable. Just like plunging into the Deep, you're submerged, and awaken somewhere else. [break][break]

You find yourself in an industrial city, overtaken by calamity. Puddles of condensed venom lie all over, hands that lead to nowhere like they belong to something bigger stretch from the muck, and smog chokes you, burns your nostrils. [break][break]

You're reminded of home. [break][break]

But it's more nostalgic than even that. The sense of dread that this city sunken into the mire instills in you is something you've only experienced once before. [break][break]

At the bottom of the deep.[break][break]

It's a lot to take in, but you hit the ground running. Rather, Calyrex's steed does the running, while you keep your eyes wide open searching for clues, the source of this dread. Biding your time as you gallop through the streets and alleyways, through tunnels and under bridges, you slowly map it out, get a lay of the land. Navy's chasing a runaway train filled with the stuff, and you're along for the ride. It's a good start as any. [break][break]

Kuchinashi, the flower without a mouth, clings to your back like a bag. She waits intently for your signal. There's a pattern. No matter how fast it's going, trains travel the tracks, which means... As leaps for the train, as clambers aboard, you've already set your plan in motion. [break][break]

"Go! Do it now!"[break][break]

You pull at thin air. Like yanking a string taught, you hold it outstretched. That's enough.[break][break]

The flower on your back blooms. Silk strings nearly invisible to the naked eye suddenly all move at once. It's like the strumming of a guitar, beautiful music to contrast these ugly surroundings. Threads interwoven along the path of the tracks pull together like a web, covering the width of an entire tunnel up ahead. And the train is the hapless insect, caught within. [break][break]

"Voila! It's a trap, sprung by your's truly!"[break][break]

You smirk. Self-assured of your success. While the big dumb heroes rush in, do something dangerous, nearly get themselves killed ... you've got eternity waiting, you won't risk it all for a stupid gambit like that. Not here. You prefer something you can count on.[break][break]

And this silk, this Sticky Webbing of yours... it's not just sticky, perfect for slowing things down, like a barreling train. [break][break]

No, this silk has more tensile strength than nanocarbon fibres. With any luck, it'll crumple up like a tin can. [break][break]

You eye the trainer on the roof. You eye Navy, aiming for the conductor compartment. You can't help but feel a little sorry, if this works...[break][break]

"Better hold on tight!"[break][break]

You call out. But you're afraid your voice will be drowned out. [break][break]

Too little, too late.[break][break]

this motostoke is not one he recognizes but he wastes little time dwelling in it. driven by a sense of urgency and FEAR of being in an unknown world, he moves, making sure to bring and with him.[break][break]

"while the league busy themselves with the city, we'll capitalize and seek out this world's resources."[break][break]

world; dream; what difference does it make?[break][break]

he dumps out a few vials of poison he carries around and attempts to collect some of the SLUDGE in the channels into them. he stands after, then nods at the two.[break][break]

"we head east."[break][break]

abandoning MOTOSTOKE, they depart, making their way toward the OUTSKIRTS, and it's there they find the MINE CARTS.[break][break]

"do you recognize these?"[break][break]

the ORES—are they resources to be had? or are they simply duds? he palms one, two, then decides to collect more into his bag.[break][break]

then comes the BROKEN DOWN BRIDGE. from memory, he knows the MINES sit on the other end.[break][break]

"let's try to fly across."[break][break]

offering help to those who may need it, he mounts his naganadel and attempts to make his way toward the MINES.[break][break]

His answer is as dissatisfying as the rubble and ruin surrounding them, though there is perhaps something to it. He holds onto the word survivable, pondering over the creature's meaning. If nothing else, it distracts him from the less-than-pleasant sensation of travel they're forced to undergo as they make their egress.[break][break]

Arriving there is no different than the last-it is another dystopic eyesore, a wasteland mired with toxic waste, inhabited by a less-than-capable peasantry. They are cowed by the strange, inexplicable hands which rise from the pooling sludge, and he cannot help but support them in this endeavor. While mulling over the only options remaining to him, he notices an Unown-M returning to his care.[break][break]

"Can you defeat them?" Following after his person, the Unown is able to blast any nearby tendrils with its HIDDEN POWER, allowing him to observe the impact on the environment. Everything was poisoned or left in a state of decay. It was no small wonder that Calyrex, or these citizens, had become disheartened. But he was not the one to charter them a new path.[break][break]

He could only do so much. He was just a man.[break][break]

Adrian spots amidst the development, his brows raising as the corner of his lip nearly tucked into a grin, before a voice came through the communications relay. They were rallying at the source of corruption, it seemed, which seemed to stem from the stadium... He might've ignored it, but then, he could not be sure of what ought to be said under such circumstances. Perhaps for now they should keep their distance, rather than test the integrity of their armistice. "I'll join you there shortly," he mutters to himself rhetorically.[break][break]

There were still numerous obstacles between here and there.[break]

As they are all whipped up by their respective portals, Blue doesn’t reflect upon the questions answered by the calyrex. She can’t claim to care at all. All she knows is that she’d like to be away from its snobby demeanor. Away from the mess in general so that she can think for a moment. When they land in Motostoke, it doesn’t seem like she’ll get the chance there, either.[break][break]

The pulse of her anger spikes in the unfamiliar place. Red hot frustration twisting and turning under her skin like the defunct cogs of the old mechanical city should have been. As league officials scramble around them, Blue looks to for answers. Just as she has done until this point—as insufficient of a protege as the makes her feel. She’s lost in a strange place like this. She has no awareness of mental maps or city plans.[break][break]

So she’ll do what she knows and follow orders.[break][break]

He looks somewhat agitated, though, but she doesn’t remark on it. It feels like the same restlessness crawling under her own skin. Despite their common alliance, she eyes warily, though does little to protest his presence. They’re clearly the minority here, so the sparser they make themselves, the better. All three of them, uneasy and outnumbered. How fun for them.[break][break]

“What exactly are you looking for?” she asks as they make their way east. A resource could be anything, really. Her nose wrinkles as Theo collects noxious sludge into a test tube. It’s beyond her the hell that can be used for, but if she doesn’t have to touch it, that’s fine by her. Really, she’s content to let the underboss poke around in everything while she looks out for anything suspect.[break][break]

Even in the outskirts, sludge pools and gathers into grabbing hands that try to snatch them up. It’s about the time that one is swiping at her that she decides she’s well and truly over this. Her nidoking erupts from his pokeball, EARTH POWER disrupting the soils around the sludge creature and swallowing it up. “You’d think these wouldn’t be sustainable in a place filled with, y’know…dirt,” she grumbles, finally turning back toward Theo to look at the ore he holds up.[break][break]

Blue squints at them, “Looks like fuckin’ rocks to me.”[break][break]

But rocks could be useful. You could throw them, or whatever.[break][break]

The hunt isn’t over, however, and neither is their walking. Leaving the mine carts behind, they head toward the supposed second mine. Only to be met with the severed edge of a broken bridge. “Well, so much for that.” She tries to ignore the uneasy turn of her stomach at the suggestion of flight. Her own team lacks the capacity. And it’s likely because she prefers both feet on the ground. It’s the brawler in her, wishing to plant her soles and control her center of gravity. Blue can’t do that in the air.[break][break]

But with a clenched jaw, she hesitantly crawls onto Theo’s nagandel and swears it better get them across the drop. What’s important about rocks, anyways?

she takes it back. [break][break]

it's disgusting. sludge trudges around, leaving only the residue of the stench in its wake. if she hadn't known any better, she'd think that motostoke has become a barren waste dump. her lips curl into a small frown, and she lightly pinches the bridge of her nose. how unsightly. the hands are grotesque - so much so that she has to turn away momentarily.[break][break]

one look at those who came along to the steampunk city, tells her that they're already on top of defending the city - though frankly, she doesn't see why they need to go out of their ways to barricade the entire place... especially not when there's so few of them, and it doesn't look like the residents of this galar appear to be aware of the actual dangers they're in. [break][break]

this isn't real, she tells herself, but it damn doesn't feel that way. [break][break]

although it seems like the others have two other directions dealt with, that still leaves a few places - but it should be okay. she gets the message, although her eyes narrow as she's settling herself in what she thinks, would be a bit of safety. so when she watches a man has his ninetales using FREEZE-DRY, she glances to a bipedal fox, already with her wand in hand to FORTIFY THE DEFENSES. [break][break]

On the other hand, she gazes down at the sludge, and the poison, watching the hands grudge on from safety. "take care of those hands." she commands the fox, whose fire glows brightly, pressing down on the hands with a PSYCHIC - at least until the poison can fade out. The less they have to deal with, the better - the thinner the numbers, the easier retaliation will come.

TL;DR:

  • DEPHOX uses PSYCHIC to catch thESE HANDS (major action)
  • DELPHOX uses PSYCHIC to add a lil bit more to 's barricade ty (side action)

despite all the time he'd been away from galar, he couldn't imagine how much more lackluster it could ever be compared to how he saw it— yet as he stood there within the bounds of the shithole surrounding him, he found all of his expectations and thoughts easily shattered and disproven.[break][break]

all that left his lips, at first, had been a low, "tch..." in distaste before he began to scour the clearing.[break][break]

with little time to waste, the righteous seemed to scatter across the bounds of the broken city, and honestly speaking, he had half a mind to follow suit after seeing the boundaries begin to be fortified. it was only when the familiar note of a superior met his ears that he paused, shortly, in favor of peering over his shoulder just in time to see and begin to take their leave.[break][break]

another, shorter glance into the city had been all he bothered before following in tow, though not without giving the latter a brief, returned glare in return.[break][break]

the trek following had been equal parts familiar and unfamiliar, all the same; littered with no shortage of differences and discrepancies from the memories he harbored. as attention was brought towards the carts, he gave them a passing glance before beginning to walk by.[break][break]

he only picked a couple ores for himself before turning his attention to the mine, afar.[break][break]

"hell if i know, but if they're ripe fer the takin', they gotta be worthwhile...[break][break]

as worthwhile as dreamscape objects could be, anyways.[break][break]

and a worth dismissed soon after pocketing as the path forward only continued on. with a skeptic's eye, he eyed the bridge before looking towards the two as they climbed atop the beast offered for passage. his eyes narrowed briefly as he mulled over his options, though before he long, he breathed a low, reluctant sigh before following in tow, once more.[break][break]

all the while, however, the gallade accompanying returned to him, instead replaced by an aegislash that manifested, soon after. the rocket reached out for both parts of its being soon after, carefully shifting himself closer to the front of the naganadel's back before lowly whistling.[break][break]

held firmly within his trainer's grasp, shimmered faintly while positioned forth in a king's shield.[break][break]




rLLn|uI1
[break][break]

TL;DR:
  • The Drip(tm)
  • rocket squad hours.
  • cain, pockets some of the ores.
  • aegislash uses king's shield for group protection. y'know, just in case.

[attr="class","setting"]


Sludge and tar blanketed the poisonous streets of Motosoke City. Like a memory corrupted, light died in every corner and alleyway, leaving those unfortunate enough to enter its embrace to navigate without guidance.
[Break][break]


Penelope spurred up in the vicinity of those she'd entered with; namely and .
[Break][break]


was the first to break the eerie silence, announcing his plans with a loud exuberance.
[Break][break]


"Stay safe and keep in contact," The councilwoman warned. Now wasn't the time to play hero without backup.
[Break][break]


was the next to make a move, and she spun similar tales of caution for him.
[Break][break]


"Stay safe out there, Callan." Her words were laced with light worried. "Don't stray too far."
[Break][break]


Now it was back to the original trio. Glancing over to the other councilwoman, Penelope nodded, then jutted her chin out toward the southern alleyway of lit-up apartments. Sludge hands littered the sidewalk and broken road, grasping up at polluted air.
[Break][break]


"I'm going to see if I can rally up some of these citizens. Ollie, you come with me. I need someone to help cover those things."
[Break][break]


It's with 's agreeance that they'd make headway through the street. Despite a blank stare from Chi-yu, Penelope swapped out her set of jaded beads for Mr Rime. That way, along their way through, he could provide aid with his lashes of PSYCHIC damage.
[Break][break]


To every other door, to every other light, the councilwoman made her presence known with the light rap on the door. On the occasion it would open, niceties would greet those donned in rags and bruises. She would urge them out of their homes, hoping some might find the strength to assist with 's efforts.
[Break][break]


Unbeknownst to the woman of visceral and downright spite, trickles of inner emotions leaked out between these crafted words - aftereffects from the fear that still clung to her heart, rumbling just below the surface.
[Break][break]


She wanted to be strong enough, she told herself. She needed to be strong enough, her thoughts repeated.[Break][break]



But, the more these desires clogged her mind, the more they began to leak out, mixing with her reality in more ways than one.
penelope can manifest and intensify feelings of ENVY in others by being near or deploying a HYPNOTIC STARE, able to cause the effected to negatively project onto others, stir feelings of doubt and envy, etc. this power lessens the further her proximity from her target.

this fuckin' dude seriously can't do anything without me.
[break][break]
aaron rolls his eyes as he reaches the bottom of the observatory's mushroom staircase, his irritation palpable in the scowl frozen on his face. he would've rather done cool shit with and , but apparently needs him more than they do.
[break][break]
a responsible man would have made a beeline straight to the elite four member, but aaron is far from that. he takes a detour, meandering toward a crowd of people. he keeps to a lazy pace until he spots a familiar, white-haired woman standing in their midst — then he practically materializes next to her, sidling past ailing medieval cosplayers to reach her side.
[break][break]
"hey," he greets, voice remarkably casual for the situation they've wound up in. it's probably thanks to the calming mist pooling around , but he likes to think he's just chill like that. "want some help?"
[break][break]
on cue, his xatu pops into existence, face emotionless as it drinks in the scene. his team is more for harm than healing, but he'll do anything to spend time with her and not his roommate. another wish manifests. it's a band aid compared to the surgical precision of her healing, but at least it's something.
[break][break]
if there is a raid boss here, he thinks, they'll need the help of these guys, too. he clears his throat and addresses those among them that seem like they could wield a pokeball.
[break][break]
"so, uh ... listen up, guys! we're gonna get your city cleaned up but we're gonna need your help to get it done! if you got a pokemon and you're game for it, head over to connors and see what he needs from you!"
[break][break]
he thumbs over his shoulder towards , directing any traffic his way.
