The INTERDREAM MIST was a thick blanket across ROUTE 105 today. In it Remiel could perceive memories both familiar and alien to him. Visions of an ALTERNATE GALAR. Conversations with past loves and enemies. A moonlit night in an alleyway in LILYCOVE CITY four years ago.

But the thought that he might be accidentally sharing some of these memories with an enemy was the most disturbing part by far. He wished he had control.

As a precaution, the black-haired prince summons a rather uncommon Pokémon for his tastes: a slender THIEVUL. Its keen senses and ability to STAKEOUT opponents would surely do him well here as they traveled through the pink mist. And, before too long into their expedition, this proves to be true.

The Thievul comes to a stop and crouches, with Remiel copying these movements a few meters behind it. The fox had found a trainer and their Pokémon in the mist. But whether friend or foe, it was unsure.

Regardless, it HONES ITS CLAWS with an almost instinctual need to prepare. The sound echoes throughout the terrain, surely alerting Tempest Quinn before the royal speaks up from beyond.

"Who are you?"

Remiel pays witness to a seemingly idyllic scene beyond. Squinting, he wonders if that's really Cillian Quinn he's seeing there with some girl. The unfamiliar vision doesn't last too long, however. The stranger's response did well to snap him back to reality. Or, at least, what remained of it within this sea of pink mist.

Right. He'd come here to investigate the source of this mist for the LEAGUE. He was hoping he could avoid a battle, but continuing his assignment with a clearly aggressive TEAM ROCKET member wasn't safe. More than that, he didn't want someone weaker and/or more gullible running into this person afterward.

Remiel didn't need that sort of thing weighing on his conscience when it was already so incredibly heavy.

As a vision of the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY during a TYRANTRUM skeleton premiere surrounds them, the exiled prince responds. "Team Rocket, then? I don't suppose you'll just go ahead and take your own advice? I've got work to do here."

The roar of a GREAT TUSK somewhere nearby startles both trainer and Pokémon just then.

A familiar energy erupts from the FARIGARIF that has suddenly appeared to look down on them. As Nansalla places herself between the larger Pokémon and her trainer, she casts a PARTING SHOT at the Farigarif with a snicker. The fox took great pleasure in demoralizing her opponents (-ATK, -SP. ATK) before going in for an attack.

Remiel, in the meantime, sensed the activation of a SYGNA SUIT. As a precaution, he summons TALIYAH, his DOUBLADE, into each of his hands. The unfamiliar memory begins to slowly eclipse his own as rain pelts them all. The sight of a REFLECTIVE barrier is revealed as a result, though the prince does not worry.

All things must eventually fall, after all.

Where the THIEF might have struck Remiel, Nansalla the Thievul intercepts with a SUCKER PUNCH instead. The fox makes a strange sound, something between a cackle and whimper, as it is struck backward with a hoof anyway. It then sinks back into the mist for another surprise attack.

Remiel, in the meantime, blocks his attacker's kick with an IRON DEFENSE. He pivots to watch them as they go, preparing himself for another attack should it come. All the while, a SUPERNATURAL energy begins to emerge from the Doublades in his hands. "Let me take control, nephew," An ancient spirit whispers out to him.

"We'll make short work of them."

Meanwhile, the scenery around them slowly shifts into that of the beautiful gardens, white pillars, and glittering fountains at the CALCIFET PALACE.

The dark waves that encompass the previous vision disorient him as they chaotically crash against one another and an unseen cliffside. Remiel is reminded of the TEAM ROCKET SUBMARINE as a result and, before long, the mist shifts once more to reflect that. Though the seemingly endless submarine halls and a random assortment of common spaces are no less disorienting.

"I won't let you harm anyone here. I'm done casting a blind eye to it all." The black-haired royal responds, keeping a vigilant eye before the Farigarif suddenly bursts out from the hazy illusion of a bookshelf. He's forced to block and digs his heels into the ground as he holds his position. All the while, that ghostly voice infecting his mind continues to urge him for the reins.

Despite a QUICK ATTACK, however, his Thievul soon succumbs to the GLACEON's shadowy attack. A sharp yelp echoes throughout before a guttural squelch ominously silences it. The exiled prince nearly falters.

"NO!"

This alone prompts Remiel to give over control immediately as his eyes go black and his body is possessed by a shadowy aura that envelops him.

The power granted to him by his Z-MOVE proves enough to force the Farigarif back before commencing a flurry of supernaturally charged strikes.
