Trudging through what felt like several layers of muddy hell, Aidan had finally reached the only person he actually knew in the area. He was thankful that he had found a familiar face among the mud, branches and bog. After all, every second he spent in there made him him feel more uneasy, as if something could happen at any moment.[break][break]

Patting in the back as soon as he was close enough, a small smile upon his face, a smile that told Rowan how uncomfortable the man was with the mud and scenario. "As much as I could see you taking a vacation in a place like this, I assume you're here for the killer pokemon too?" Aidan didn't really need to ask that question, of course everyone was here for the killer pokemon, nothing better than a good old mob hunt.[break][break]

Looking around them once again before speaking. "May I suggest we stick together? I don't feel like the best of ideas to split up when there's a killer on the loose, trust me. People getting picked off isn't just a movie trope." Sadly, Aidan did have experience with that, but such a story should be left for another time. Making sure he was ready himself he'd pull out a pokeball to let one of his pokemon out to play. A Metagross would apparate from the within the pokeball only to land right next to Aidan with a slushy SPLASH.[break][break]

Before Aidan could reach out with towards his pokemon's nonexistent neck and strangle it to death he would notice something of very peculiar color, a shard that had emerged with the splash. "Oh that's new!?" He'd say reaching for it. Giving a few taps of the shard onto the Metagross' head. "Be read for anything" With that his pokemon knew to use AGILITYjust so it could react to any threat that came their way.[break][break]

"So what say ye, Mr mud boy? Shall we team up for once?"[break][break]

Adrian manages a pleading stare while they exchange words, finding himself relieved when they see no reason to turn him away. "Great, hope you don't mind if I tag along."[break][break]

Adrian throws a conscious stare towards the treeline, but is otherwise ready to see themselves off. And yet a Sableye distracts them a moment longer, disheveling its trainer while offering a message. His stomach sinks when she shares its message.[break][break]

So they were too late for them. Catatonic, Adrian feels the nape of his neck tingling with unease. And so he's unable to sway Xiura from following after Sableye, instead being obliged to follow—with a moment's delay.[break][break]

"Of course." Adrian would not leave them, though as they break ground, the mire surrounding them begins to feel hostile. For all his confidence and clothing, he might as well be naked to the dangers here. And for once he acts like it, refusing his strides to carry him any further from their troupe than his arms reach. It was almost unlike him.[break][break]

"Let's not advertise our location," he replies in a similarly hushed tone, exclaimed in emphasis. If they barged in, noisy and arrogant, they were sure to be missing a few ears of their own. "Jin'll be fine."[break][break]

He could feel the first lie as it spewed as mud from his mouth, unclean and hardly pleasant.[break][break]

Another surprise arose, one taking the form of . "Sometimes it feels like you're following me." The Ranger joked, a sly smirk spread across his lips. "I agree, however.

Luka is very rarely right about anything.[break][break]
It’s rather upsetting that when she is, the results are often distressing.[break][break]
Their search for clues yields macabre results; the ear found by sends a shiver up her spine, and she can’t bear to look at it for long. It’s also an unsettling coincidence that the MP3 should be playing one of ’s songs- it’s probably nothing, but then again, the strange things that happen in Hoenn often have another meaning behind them.[break][break]
”W-we should hurry up and keep looking,” she asserts to the pair, tearing her eyes away from the torn off appendage. ”This person could still be alive, after all! And they’re hurt! If there’s any chance we can save them, we need to take it.”[break][break]
Right now, her focus is on the person who’d been injured, and not the thing that had caused it. Privately, she disagrees with - even if a Pokemon had done this, there could be any number of reasons why. It doesn’t sit right with her to immediately blame a Pokemon on such violence and terror and insist on putting it down. They can be dangerous, sure, but in her experience the most violent encounters are those spurred on by external factors or trainers that raise them to kill. She doesn’t want to believe that any Pokemon could be innately evil, and that helps spur her hope that the victim they’re searching for is still alive.[break][break]
Once again, the rain and mud makes it hard to search for clues. A trail of blood is the obvious thing to search for- and Luka does her best to look for splotches of red even though the rain has most likely washed it away. She trudges forwards with the group as she searches, rain splattering her umbrella as she notices that has found something else. It’s a camera- could it belong to the same person who had owned the MP3? Unfortunately, she doesn’t have an electric type, and can’t be of any assistance.[break][break]
”Um! Does anyone have an electric type?” she repeats. A chorus of two voices is surely better than one. ”Or maybe some extra batteries?”[break][break]
As she tries to figure out of the camera holds any more clues, her Musharna once again tries to probe into the mysteries surrounding this place. Her Forewarn had helped to detect something lurking ahead of them, though Ume can’t be sure of what it is. Eager to get a clearer glimpse of what they’re heading into, the tapir uses future sight to try determining what waits for them up ahead, and to see what has become of whoever that severed ear belongs to.[break][break]

- musharna uses future sight to try locating the person the ear belongs to, or to identify the large shape in the distance

Cadeyn was pleased with his lady words but for moment focus more one the task a head. His dragon soon returned to his side have seen nothing while trying to scount out the area. The knight although calm on outside was horrfiic deep down when the severed ear was discovered. This truly was a feral pokemon or beast for that matter.[break][break] "What kinda of a monster could do this with no remorse? Or was it out of hungry?" There knight pondered while his dragon shifted the ear the princess was holding. If one of them lost an ear than were their any survivors from the monster or monsters for that matter. There were still clues to be discovered to decided to help Eilse in her search for clues but it didn't a wise guy what it was must have been extremely powerful to do so something.

tl;dr: EXTREMELY SORRY I LOST TRACK OF TIME. After his Tyrantrum return to his side, He takes ounce of the severed ears Elise is holding. After a moment of shock and getting lost in thought. He decided to investigate the ear with and searching for other clues.[break][break]

Bad Moon Rising



"Well, your friend over there seems to be enjoying the gloom." was Alba's reply, watching 's Zorua skip across the swamp.[break][break]

It was almost like a crime scene. Gore scattered across the ground like confetti, toxic sludge lingering like fingerprints… It was obviously the work of a wild beast, though. A Rocket crime scene would be far cleaner. But here he was, helping play the part of detective… Well, putting pieces together was part of his job, even if the final image differed in its scope.[break][break]

"Hey, hand me that camera. I wanna see what's on it." They needed clues, right? The camera of the decea— uh, the victi— the missing, seemed like a good place to look. Motioning to Galvantula, the spider let out a Thunder Wave, recharging its battery so he could look through its photos. It was… incredibly boring, for the most part. Standard tourist stuff, standard married stuff…[break][break]

The last photo was the interesting part, but it was also maybe the worst photograph Alba had the misfortune of looking at.[break][break]

"Too blurry to make out much… but there's something red and glowing in the top-right corner. Could be eyes, could be some kind of machine? Be on your guard for any lights, I guess."[break][break]

And that poison… People seemed to be coming to their own conclusions, but he couldn't help but compare the sludge before him to the sludge he'd seen in Galar. Either way, it never hurt to double test something.

Field (Late Night) - Pokémon Legends: Arceus


AREA 1




THE DISEMBODIED EAR is examined by , , and as they are joined by and . The idol confirms that it is indeed her song playing, while searches for more remnants.[break][break]

The Galarian Ambassador and her guard, , eventually find several bones, cracked and fragmented, the marrow sucked clean from their cores.[break][break]

's ZORUA vents a BITTER MALICE through the ear. The illusion conjured is one of MINAKO SATO, one of the missing civilians. The spectral form eventually fades, though one may wonder if the illusion is an accurate representation of her form. Similarly, 's MUSHARNA attempts to use FUTURE SIGHT to decipher more clues. Despite the difficulties in perceiving specifics, it manages to "hear" what appears to be dirt being shuffled as if being dug (SALAC DIFFERENCE).[break][break]

and @elliot are eventually freed from their sticky shackles. 's GOODRA waddles over. With a hardy thwack, its thick tail strikes the sludge away from @elliot's body to free him. 's GHOLDENGO emerges to assist its trainer with his predicament, spilling coins as it plucks him from the earth.

earns an extra 5 PD!


Those marred by the poison get the feeling that if they were to remain in contact with it for long even with the SAFEGUARD from , they would all suffer terrible symptoms.[break][break]

Though has his theories, wonders whether this sludge is like the toxic waste encountered in GOODBYE GALAR. However, would find that is indeed different. It is less viscous, more sticky and globular.[break][break]

's Pokemon returns with the camera. Though it is uncharged, a quick THUNDER WAVE from 's GALVANTULA manages to charge it.

Thanks to charge, another photo can be found in its RECENTLY DELETED folder: a random picture of the area and then another of Minako and Junichi's bodies on the ground.


A DAZZLING GLEAM from 's HATTERENE and 's GASTLY cuts through the fog as the party advances. Sparkling lights scatter and follow the billowing tails of the NINETALES.[break][break]



marks the poisonous puddles as he ventures forth. To help illuminate their search, his MISMAGIUS is summoned with a flourish, its ghostly dress twirling as a SUNNY DAY illuminates the way. Quietly, , , and continue to search for more clues. Protected by 's SABLEYE, its ruby eyes stave off any threats.[break][break]



They are all guided by 's MARACTUS. The GRASSY TERRAIN continuously replenishes health while providing a drier plane to traverse on. Through the rejuvenating field, 's NINETALES separate into several different apparitions with DOUBLE TEAM. Though the kitsune does not find much yet, it inspires those joining in on its hunt by leading the vanguard.


AREA 2



THE DISEMBODIED LEG IS EXAMINED by , , , and . Poking the leg would not reveal much, but closer inspection by and would reveal that the missing chunk was created by several smaller bites rather than one big chomp.[break][break]

's further investigation would let them discover that the leg has been like this for at least a week. The leg is weathered, rotting, and shows signs of wear and tear from being prodded at by other wild Pokemon. Briefly, takes a gander. He may note that the leg seems like it belongs to an older gentleman due to its musculature and varicose veins.[break][break]



Suddenly, the leg would be almost munched away by 's HOUNDOOM, but a quick scolding forces the dog away. However, her redirection of her Pokemon would also allow it to find bones like the ones in Area One (SALAC DIFFERENCE). They are cracked, broken and scraped clean of meat.[break][break]

As the HOUNDOOM scampers off, attempts to stifle her laughter. Her LUNATONE emerges from its capsule. Its steady hover allows it to focus... and its FUTURE SIGHT allows it to "hear" the sounds of splashing, plunging, water being churned.[break][break]

Although attempts to provide space for , attempts to wrestle the stick away from the child poking at the leg. His PIKACHU sniffs for smells in the meantime. Like 's LUCARIO, it detects something deeper into the swamp. Whatever it is, it smells of apricorns, plump beans, mud and peat.[break][break]



Away from the body part departs expeditiously. She examines the SHARDS as do , and . They certainly are the same kind that manifest during SPACE-TIME DISTORTIONS: small fragments supposedly containing elemental, type-based power. pockets one, while 's RIOLU nearby assists other Pokemon with their anticipatory actions with COACHING.[break][break]

When 's CLAYDOL RAPID SPINS to investigate what other secrets may be within the swamp grasses. It spins so fast that it is able to dig into the earth. What he finds is a curious artifact: an antiquated GIGATON BALL that if repaired in the future, could be usable.[break][break]



and advance, arm in arm. There are no footprints apart from the ones made by their parties. follows too, for the YANMA has fled from the center of the swamp. Above, 's DECIDUEYE scouts with its PHANTOM FORCE, phasing in and out of its spectral swirl to avoid detection. That high up, it can see the SUNNY DAY and DAZZLING GLEAMS from AREA ONE. The parties are beginning to merge...


SWAMP


AS THE TWO SEARCH PARTIES CONVERGE, they would immediately find the main bulk of the swamp. The water is deepest here, the mud thickest. Traversing into this area would mean going at least waist deep into the waters should any trainer travel by ground.[break][break]

AREA ONE'S SEARCH PARTY would discover a grisly scene. XIURA'S SABLEYE'S RED GEM EYES would first reflect the horrors in its many facets. Illuminated by a SUNNY DAY, a dozen or so bodies can be seen floating on the swamp waters. They are partially concealed by wildrye grasses, fog, shadows untouched by the artificial sunlight, murky waters and mud.[break][break]

TWO OF THE BODIES look eerily similar to JUNICHI AND MINAKO SATO'S description.
[break][break]

On the other side, closer to to AREA TWO, the search party would be able to witness a bulky, matted bear scraping at the earth. A green light shines from its skull. Though it looks like an URSALUNA, its forehead is marked by a blood red circle like a BLOOD MOON and stands on its hind legs, back hunched over like a tortured monster. As the party moves in closer, they would see that it is digging something up from the swamp soil. As it pants, growling as it carves grand arcs into the earth, a CORPSE IS UNEARTHED.[break][break]

The BLOOD MOON URSALUNA would notice the party immediately. With a surprised huff, it would RUN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE SWAMP FILLED WITH FLOATING BODIES on all four legs.[break][break]

Everyone on either side of the swamp would see it barreling through the dirty waters, knocking the bodies about like bath toys. To reach it, everyone must brave this watery graveyard.

[attr="class","rowwtw"]A corpse buried in the swamp? It wasn't unheard of for bodies to be dumped in mires, but something about this scene didn't scream 'Team Rocket' to his investigative nature. "Sorry, mate." Rowan muttered under his breath as he cleared away some of the muck and grime away from the unearthed body. This was important enough to the beast, it was worth investigating. "Someone want to give me a hand?" He asked, to those around.[break][break]

Above, Apollo spotted the fleeing creature, avian eyes narrowing upon the target. A hoot pierced the air, asking for direction. "Go for it, Apollo." Rowan responded, allowing the Decidueye free reign to act as they pleased. The Pokémon dipped through the air, making a line directly for strange animal. Ethereal chains extended out from their wings, attempting to grapple the fleeing Ursaluna in it's SPIRIT SHACKLE before it's able to escape.[break][break]

There was something underneath the surface of this excursion, and Rowan didn't intend on leaving stone unturned.[break][break]

Yeah, he had seen these types of shards before. They appeared constantly in Space-Time Distortions, literal plotholes in reality. His job had been hard back when archaeology was normal, but now that the space-time continuum was as fragile as Howard's ego, everything had become a lot harder. Stuff was finding its way into places and times it most certainly shouldn't have belonged.

He was fine with the shards, the bears, and the out of place Pokémon.

Digging up fossilized television sets was where he drew the line.

After a firm squeeze on Eris's shoulders, Howard inspects the field that Crumble has churned up. He scoffs at Oliver and Nagi, before shaking his head and deftly digging through the dirt with an expert hand. His fingers dance deftly between the blades of grass, rocks, and other various shards that seem to be peppering the area. There must be a bargain sale going on in the multiverse somewhere, or something.

"Don't act all high and mighty. Have you forgotten when kids go out on adventures in this region? She's no fool, and she's no weakling. Stop pretending age alone places you on some pedestal. If that were the case, I should start making out with a Helix Fossil. They're older than all of us." Howard said pointedly at Nagi as he dug around in the dirt. People acted like they were so moral, when they knew little of someone's circumstances. Eris and Howard had gone deep into the earth together, he respected her capabilities. "I swear, everyone thinks they're an expert... Ah, here we go. I've got somethi-GUH!"

Bowing under the weight of this new item, Howard eventually picked up a small ball. He folded under the weight slightly, before getting used to the abnormal weight. "What the fuck...? This thing weighs a ton!"

Howard picked up the ball and inspected it. It looked extremely similar to old Apricorn balls. He tapped it, and it made a dull clicking sound. He had seen old Apricorn balls before, but only this one clicked. Granted, only this one was obscenely heavy. He tried to open it, and it grinded.

Of course the multiverse would give him a broken ball. He was gonna hit Arceus in the shins and run away.

"What's the status on that le-"

Grrrrrr... Pant pant pant...

Howard let out a shrill shriek as he hid behind Aaron, and instinctively pulled out an item to use as a weapon. Slipping the ball into his bag, Howard reached around. Feeling a smooth steel hilt, Howard pulled out a cast iron skillet and pointed it at the beast, shattering as he did so. Nobody could judge him (yes they could) for being scared (he was), it took guts to pull out a frying pan against a giant bear (it did not).

"COME BACK! I NEED TO STUDY YOUR BONES! GIVE ME AN INTERVIEW!" Howard shouted as he started running towards the swamp. His Claydol glowed with a Cosmic Power, attempting to light the way forward. Maybe using a move powered by space would have an interesting effect with how strange reality was getting with all these shards.

That was moreso 's territory, though. He was hopeless at interdimensional physics. Too many strange symbols, and he knew a lot of symbols.




NOTES:
Howard takes da Gigaton Ball, bags it
Calls out Nagi directly and unknowingly Oliver, petty glare stuff
Aaron is his lab assistant now
Wonders what Lulu thinks of this

Claydol uses COSMIC POWER

[attr="class","inner-finally"] can chide her all he likes, but he knows that the brief glare he receives in turn is equally reproachful. As for defending her honour(?) / right to be here, she can't help but smile a little to herself.[break][break]

Smaller bites, as if the beast were being all dainty after ripping this entire leg off. She at least gets to determine that much before the stick is ripped from her hands and by then, she has no qualms with hopping to her feet and moving away. Perhaps, a little further away from (even more so from ), in favour of a somewhat calmer and .[break][break]

She cocks her head at the particular mention of 'brother', turning just enough to keep El completely on her right. When he says brother... does he mean the kind of brother Isaac is to her? Are they that close? Close enough that they can at least have a conversation without much tension, or so it had seemed from whatever she could glimpse of the crowd.[break][break]

And so she'll give him a small, tentative nod, rubbing Reiner's shoulder as they begin to trek along with the group.[break][break]

Until they reach the big ol' swamp.[break][break]

She still remembers what happened the last time they'd floundered around in a swamp (read: grabbed by an enormous Rillaboom and almost killed in action). Shivering, she pulls Reiner in for a quick hug and murmurs a few quick reassuring words. He won't fare well in these parts, so she'll swap him out for Chloris, who squeaks in surprise.[break][break]

A first step sees her sinking quite a bit, her short stature causing the waters to climb up just a little past her stomach (she wonders how Isaac will fare with his own height). It takes quite a bit of effort, but she eventually wades over to and begins helping him clean things up. A quick signal gets the Comfey to start weaving together a rope made of Grass Knots, attempting to wrap it around the body and gently pull it up and out of the swamp. And while she's at it, she'll even give a brief glance towards their leg to see if it's been ripped off.[break][break]

Whoever's body that is, how will they explain it to their family?[break][break]

By the time you've been dragged out of the sludge, the group is already on the move, so you aren't left much choice but to scurry after them, Chester in tow and mudstained pennies in your pocket. After all, if you want any shot at getting your fantastic franchising plan, then you'll have to take the lead when it comes to Bloodmoon Beast hunt. You won't get anywhere if you slack off and loiter around the back. You need to be front and centre, or else when the time comes, you won't be able to take all the credit, and then you won't get all the rewards.

Along the way, you quickly get up to speed on all the discovered clues. Something something, weird camera, something something, bad music, something something... Damn, you kind of don't care? You're hunting a monster, not a vigilante. You don't need to figure out the Bloodmoon Beast's secret identity. You just need to kick his ass.

And wouldn't you know it, there he is.

It's a strange looking creature. One of those Ursa-somethings that you've heard so much about, though you can't say you really "get it", so to speak. It isn't a pretty face, sure, but it doesn't carry itself in a way that's particularly "cool", either. More than anything else, the vibe you're getting from it is "completely miserable", which makes sense: If you were a big bear, and you lived in a swamp as shitty as this one, you wouldn't be very happy either. You'd much prefer to live in a big and bountiful forest, with plenty of beehives full of honey, and flowing rivers you could eat fresh fish from, too. In fact, a musty old bog like this was probably the last place you'd want to be a bear. Not that you are a bear, mind, so you're hardly an expert on these kinds of things...

Y'know what? This probably isn't the best thing you could be doing with your time right now. Especially when the Ursabloodmoon (Name Pending, but you totally think it'll catch on) is making a break for it! Your first instinct is to chase after it, but you're quickly dissuaded by the presence of yet more mud. At the very least, this muck isn't poisonous, but it's also far deeper. Too deep to move in effectively. If you wade through it normally, there's no way you'll ever catch up to that beast.

"Chester, make us a path!"

"Righto, chap!"

With a swoosh of his hands, your Gholdengo summons forth a Reflect directly above the mud... Or, is it a Light Screen? You don't really know the difference, and honestly, you were kind of just expecting him to build a bridge out of gold, but you aren't going to look a wealth ghost in the mouth here. What matters is that as long as Chester keeps setting up these screens, you can forge a path ahead, and since you're the one who's making it, that means you're all but guaranteed to get there first!

Course, the logistics of maintaining however many screens means that you're only going to be able to keep up a few at a time, which means you'll have to start dismissing the older ones, which means this'll be a one-way trip, so...

"Well, I'm off to bag that bear." You slightly-too-cheerfully decree, dashing off after the Bloodmoon Beast with Gholdengo hurriedly jaunting after you, doing all the hard work. Shame about leaving behind, but hey, you're sure he'll forgive you once you're rich off your hit new reality show, Hoenn's Deadliest Hunts with Shred Zeppelin, trademark pending. "LATER, FUCKERS!"

And so, you charge off in the direction of the Bloodmoon Beast.

...Yeah, this can only go well for you.



AREA 1, TL;DR - Shred Zeppelin, five dollars richer than before, recklessly abandons the rest of his group so he can rush ahead and be the first person to get his shit pushed in by this nightmare bear. Gholdengo spams Light Screen and/or Reflect above the mud so that he and Shred have a path upon which they can run atop, towards their impending deaths (there may also be a little spare room upon the Chester C. Coins premium pathway if one or two other people from Area 1 want to fasttrack their way into getting mauled by a bear 👉👈)

much to his relief, Noel's Goodra saved him from the toxic muck. Now free he returned his Whismiscott as he followed the small group. The Sunny Day illuminating their path. At the end of their little journey. Elliot caught a glimpse of the strange looking bear pokemon. Grimacing at the depths filled with dead, torn, bodies, Elliot was slightly hesitant enter the waters. Even as others began to act he kept to the shore for a moment. Before pushing through his anxieties and wading his way through the high waters hoping to get to the other side unimpeded.

[attr="class","header"]RATHER BE THE HUNTER THAN THE PREY


[attr="class","setting"]


His decision to let others decide pays off, and Xiura suggests that they explore their surroundings and look for clues. Before he could give his decision on the matter, they were joined by a third person, a guy. He didn't greet the guy, but answered the question he had asked them, explaining how he had explored the area in the past. What neither of them knew was that when he said "past," he really only meant a few months ago at most.
[break][break]
He didn't tell them that, instead letting Xiura give her own assurance. As she mentioned her Pokémon knowing teleport, he blinked. "While I know Hatterne is a partial psychic type, I wasn't aware that it could learn teleport. On that note, Ares knows teleport as well," he explained, indicating the Gallade.
[break][break]
His attention was grabbed by another part of their search group. He took in the group and whatever Pokémon they had out. One of them had a Hisuian Zorua in it had something in its mouth. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he was soon able to make it out, and Xiura only confirmed what he already knew.
[break][break]
Her reaction caused his gaze to drift over to her. Human emotions were always so strange. He did not understand them, but by the little knowledge he did have on emotions, he would say she was horrified and worried. He wasn't too sure about his analysis, and he wasn't about to ask. Perhaps his own lack of reaction would be written off as him just being professional. Not wanting to risk meeting her gaze, he looked away.
[break][break]
He continued to study the rest of the group, but his attention was brought back to the people he was currently with when Xiura spoke. Apparently, her Sableye took off, and she planned on following after it. As long as it wasn't him making the decisions, he was fine with whatever. Adrian seemed to be content to follow along as well, so the three set off to perhaps find their own clues.
[break][break]
Ares stayed beside them as they walked, seeming to keep as much of a lookout for anything that stood out as much as his trainer. They had been walking for a bit when his foot bumped up against something. Letting his gaze flicker down, he saw something white half-buried in the ground. Without having to say anything, Ares would get the object and give it to Ryker.
[break][break]
Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a bone, cracked and picked clean of meat. He briefly showed it to Xiura and Adrian before allowing Ares to put it back on the ground. He had no use for a bone, and he was sure the rest of the search party was stumbling across their own findings of bones. He had a feeling that this place was just a huge burial ground for the beast they were tracking.
[break][break]
After a bit more walking, he realized that his earlier feelings were right. His gaze flickered over the bodies in the swamp, his expression giving nothing away. Death was something he was used to, so seeing all these bodies would not faze him. As his gaze flitted over the bodies, they would linger on two. Those two bodies resembled the people that had brought the search party out here.
[break][break]
"Seems we're too late for at least two of them," he said, his gaze flickering to the bodies once more. "I don't see anyone that resembles the old man, though," he told them, his gaze still fixed on the water filled with bodies. If the other body was out there, it was submerged. Though he supposed there was a chance the person was alive, he highly doubted it.
[break][break]
Keeping his doubts to himself, his gaze flickered to the new arrivals. Those people definitely weren't a part of the search party he was on. His gaze went away from them and to the bear-like creature that they had stumbled upon. Apparently, having so many people appear didn't sit well with the bear-like creature, and it started to escape into the swamp.
[break][break]
One person tried to stop it while other people tried to go after it. In his opinion, the way the people went about this was to make fools of themselves. 'Seriously, could they be less professional?'
[break][break]
Nearing the water, he eyed it before letting out a sigh. "Well, I suppose I can't get any wetter." He was already soaked, well, at least the lower half of his body was. Making sure his raincoat was still zipped closed, he entered the water.

Watching the effects of 's companion's bitter malice, an ethereal vision of sorts that Desiree had never experienced, all she could feel was the dread of empathetic loss in her stomach. It hurt knowing that one of her fans could have left the world due to such an ill fortune- but she'd always remember those wispy characteristics granted by the move of the fox, no matter how foreign that exhibit had seemed. Voices met the ringing of anger in her ears, such as a curious question from regarding a group leader calling for the search, accompanied by sincerities for the white-haired girl's efforts in guiding lost party members to the forefront.[break][break]

How was it that something this seemingly large scale, something piquing the interest of so many of those who wished to help with this threat, seemingly had little organization? "I'm sorry, but I don't think we have a group leader- I think? Just kinda like, following the collective, right?" She looked around at all the others advancing into the swamp and approaching, so she couldn't be that wrong in thinking the search had already begun. Hatterene was clearly doing her best to keep an eye on the terrain, at least that was something. Her white hooded coat squeaked a little as she shrugged, this was all so full of dread, rain, fear, and disorganization- why did it take a stranger asking for help to make her feel so dumbfounded?[break][break]

Though the approaching and shortly after him was enough to distract her from that awkward lack of a good answer, turning toward them and giving the most minuscule smile one could ever witness. "Oh, Ultra Beasts? Those strange pokemon behind the rifts? Hm." She pondered, not knowing a thing about Megalopolans other than the fact she'd heard some things prior. But those remembrances had yet to allow Desiree to recall, perhaps it needed time that they did not have. Either way, though, it sounded concerning. "Maybe the beast is more innocent than I thought, like a catalyst for something. I hope the missing people are alright though, that could make it even worse if we were right."[break][break]

Desiree agreed with 's sentiment of a demand to keep going, she was right that all was not yet in vain when it came to those that had not yet been accounted for. Giving her a shaky nod and continuing on her bath deeper in, Hatterene beside her, she raised one of her hands to reach behind her as she walked, hoping a lil' wiggle of her fingers would be enough of a message that she was going to follow the collective. The grassy terrain brought by the Maractus leading the search party, or the hunt, and the fluctuations of dazzling light were proving to be quite the stabilizer for all the mud accruing on her boots and the possibility of straying off course in the fog.[break][break]

As the winding swamp trail met the water's edge, the grim sight that met the pinkette's eyes looked to be potentially enough to prove her fellow booty bumper's wishful thinking unfortunately wrong. "I think we're too late, no, no." Her eyes looked to begin watering as she shot a glance at , haphazardly dropping her cigarette and rummaging through her bag. Removing Hatterene's pokeball and retaining her inside with a press of a button, she'd do the same following doing so but in the opposite order, releasing her Tsareena. It was all so wrong, she knew it would be much less of a risk to release her heaviest hitter if something were to ambush like the Nihilego in the Ultra Deep Sea.[break][break]

One of the bodies floating appeared to bear a resemblance to the description of Minako Sato, the one that appeared within the Zorua's illusion; the sight caused Desiree's heart to drop into her chest, hope now long forgotten. But that was nothing compared to the feeling she felt when she saw the scrambling bear kicking up bodies as it ran toward the center. "Barbie, take us across." She commanded amidst her tears, following suit with the others who began taking to the murky waters. Backing up from her trainer and launching at her, the Tsareena attempted to use GRASSY GLIDE to shoot the two across the slushy graveyard to the other side to avoid having to indulge in the corpse river. It seemed unsanitary, and who knows what diseases one could catch from swimming through something like that, so they felt there was nothing wrong with trying.[break][break]

What a time to have left Altaria and Tropius back at the greenhouse.[break][break]

they have little time to examine the leg before activity picks up around them, but it's enough to determine that the leg is rather old. "interesting... there's still meat on it despite being so old. was it saving it for later...?" they ponder out loud, pushing their glasses up on the bridge of their nose. then they hear the huffs of the beast as it realizes it's surrounded, and the splash of murky waters as it plunges in. nikola straightens up and follows after the rest of the group, hurrying along.

the pokemon they see is like nothing they've seen before. massive, bloodied, and resembling an ursaring... but not an ursaring. it's hard to tell under all the muck, but ursaring tend to be bipedal. they're not nearly as big, too.

it's trying to get away. nikola looks at the water, with corpses floating to the top. there's only the tiniest shred of hesitation before they plunge in, heaving their umbreon up into their arms as they wade through. they have to get a closer look! this could be an important scientific discovery... and also, people could get hurt or whatever.

"luna, use confuse ray on it," they command their umbreon, as they get closer to the fleeing bear. the umbreon follows her orders, sending the attack straight at the ursaluna. whether it hits or not depends largely on how sure-footed nikola can be in this muck...
nikola is in AREA 2.
they're using CONFUSE RAY on URSALUNA.
