In the midst of the vicious tug-of-war between the League and Team Rocket, respite was a rare and brief opportunity. Thankfully, Zev had seized one. He sat on a boulder, administering Potions and Super Potions to his Pokémon that he'd pilfered off League bodies.[break][break]

If only there was a quick solution to his own fatigue. Though he bore few wounds thanks to his unnatural armor, it did nothing to help his endurance or the mental strain of active combat. This lull was as much for his own benefit as his Pokémon's.[break][break]

A fresh surge of adrenaline lanced through Zev, however, at the sound of a frantic scrambling across stone. It sounded near, much closer than the sounds of battle elsewhere on the island.[break][break]

And it was getting louder—coming closer.[break][break]

Zev stood, his Hatterene at his side. Freshly healed from the potions, she glanced around with narrowed eyes, her tentacle poised to take down any approaching foe.

the hatterene might have sensed their presence, but it wouldn't be able to sense any hostility from him. what kyle lacks in negative emotions, the shadow pokemon harbored with its share.

he turns around the corner, and his eyes meet the beast and his pokemon. eyes were wide with surprise, as if he had been walking with a carefree feeling in the midst of the battlefield, but anyone with a good read on body languages wouldn't be able to read any signs of fear.

"ugh, almost everyone we met today wore masks," he idly comments upon seeing zev. "it makes me feel left out by not wearing one."

he turns to his mightyena. "should i do it? i still have the one from the carnival."

the pokemon growls at the opposition instead of agreeing with its trainer, fur bristling to its ends. like most shadow pokemon, it craves one thing more than anything else: violence.

Though Zev should not have been surprised to see on the battlefield, his own eyes widened behind his mask. A mix of eagerness and trepidation filled him, warring emotions that caught him off guard.[break][break]

Here, finally, was an opportunity to take down the Top Champion. To tear a pillar of the League out from its foundation. And yet a strange and savage possessiveness accompanied a peculiar thought:[break][break]

"Kyle is in danger."[break][break]

Which was absurd. Of course, he was in danger. Zev was there. He was going to kill Kyle.[break][break]

At least, before anyone else could lay hands on him.[break][break]

Still, he felt compelled to speak when, in other clashes, he had not.[break][break]

"No mask is going to hide your identity, Lopez," Zev said, though the name Kyle had almost slipped out. With his own mask on, his voice came out distorted, changed by the modulator built inside it.[break][break]

"I'll only tell you this once: leave the island. Go home."

"huh? that makes things easier then."

he appears seemingly surprised at the instruction given to him by zev. it slowly turns to an awkward smile, one most introverts use when they try to smile away a social situation away.

"if you know me, then that means you also know i have the liberty to ignore that just because i want to."

he has the top champion title. he has an avatarship. he has power with the pokemon he commands. kyle is at the peak of what most people on hoenn can ever dream of. this wasn't ego in his interpretation, but a fact that people always repeated to him before.

the champion slowly closes the distance in confidence, his mightyena stalking alongside him.

"do you want to rephrase it to a request instead? i was just going to ask for your mask, but i don't really like being ordered to do things."

Typical Kyle. Nothing he said surprised Zev. Instead, a wave of irritation passed through the Rocket Beast as Kyle closed the distance between them. "Stubborn fool."[break][break]

He clicked his tongue, and Hatterene burst into motion. She launched herself at Kyle's Mightyena, her clawed tentacle whipping out to brush against the dog's fur as she used MAGIC POWDER.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Zev drew his combat knife from the sheath at his belt. Sunlight glinted off the dark steel of its blade, reminiscent of the black metal shards from another time, another age.[break][break]

He charged at Kyle, knife raised.

"h-heh. you've done and did it."

he doesn't move. in fact, he even guides the rocket's knife with a grab on his wrist and direct the plunge deep in his own shoulder. he struggles to keep a smile with the searing pain, but the champion seemed pleased nonetheless.

"t-that's not nice. you really need to p-pay for my emotional and physical trauma, i t-think."

with one hand clinging on the beast's arm, the other reaches for the other's mask. he said he wanted a mask earlier, and kyle's skewed logic under this hallucinatory state shifts priorities in accordance to the situation.

he coughs once, his wound dripping blood from the jerking motion. with it comes a recreation of the burned tower's story.

when in a pinch, close to death, or when killed, kyle can SUMMON A CALAMITY (an cataclysmic field of flame, thunder and rain) that scorches a large area around him. those caught in the area may become BURNED, PARALYZED, or FROZEN.


a ring of fire surrounds them, bursting from the ground with a bluish hue. the sky turns dark with thunder and lightning, heavy downpour unable to extinguish embers of sacred fire that dance around their feet.

the mightyena ignores the hatterene, unable to comprehend that it did something to it, and goes for the aggressor. with a moveset that kyle previously gimped it with, it goes for its best move for malice: thief, directed to zev's pokeballs.

Kyle grabbing Zev's wrist and guiding the knife to bury into his shoulder was the last thing the hitman expected him to do. Zev's eyes widened. In fact, so shocked was he that he didn't register Kyle grabbing his mask at first.[break][break]

Only when he felt the cool breeze against the bare skin of his cheek did Zev snap back into action. Calling on the crystals in his body, he covered himself in a void-black carapace before the unmasking could reveal his features.[break][break]

It was good that he did, too, for Kyle unleashed a cataclysm unlike anything Zev had ever seen him do before.[break][break]

An inferno blazed around Zev as lightning struck the earth amid freezing rain. His clothing was drenched at once, parts of it freezing with a layer of ice. With a grunt, he tried to wrench his knife free from Kyle's shoulder.[break][break]

Hatterene shrieked as she was struck by flames, her skin badly burnt. She managed to swipe at the retreating Mightyena with BRUTAL SWING but could not stop it from snatching one of Zev's Pokéballs.[break][break]

Feeling the tug, he swore out loud and lashed out at the thief with a raking claw.

taking the knife out only forced more blood to gush out. a spray of flames accompany the gore, surprisingly unable to cauterize the wound by itself.

he takes the moment to put on the mask, a feat that was surprisingly difficult to do with an injured shoulder. the wincing is covered the same way zev's face manages to escape kyle's vision.

"an avatar? huh. i better walk the talk now."

as soon as the mask snugly fits his face, the mightyena yelps from the impact of the hatterene's move. angry barks from the heavy hit has it drop the ball it plucked to the ground, though it's immediately replaced with howling as soon as it sees his trainer get a second pokemon out.

HOWL OF THE WOLF PACK:

the user howls loudly to raise the spirit of itself and allies. this raises their ATTACK and SPECIAL ATTACK. this effect will be stronger on pokemon that SUBMIT to the user as their ALPHA.

pokemon with the SUBMISSIVE status cannot attack the user. this status effect lasts until they are returned.

enemy pokemon will be INTIMIDATED, lowering their ATTACK and SPECIAL ATTACK.


the metagross easily submits. it was already in its lowest after being stolen from its previous rocket trainer by the league's champion. ironic.

Seeing Kyle wear his mask brought a surreal quality to their clash. It was the mask Zev had worn early on in his career as a hitman, before Team Rocket had taken over the region. For him, the design on its front represented his rise—in wealth, power, and infamy.[break][break]

He had brought it with him to Hoenn for its usefulness, however, not for any sentimental feelings. And the League was unlikely to trace it to his true identity. He hadn't used it in six years. No one back in Kanto would remember it.[break][break]

So Zev sheathed his knife, then spread his hands wide. His fingers ended in wicked, razor-sharp points. "Good. I only want your best, Lopez."[break][break]

Kyle's second Pokémon, a Metagross, appeared in a flash of light. At the same time, the Pokéball that had fallen to the ground opened. Zev's Huntail emerged, jaws snapping.[break][break]

Then the Mightyena's HOWL pierced the air, somehow louder than the roar of the wind and rain and fire all around them. A shudder passed through Huntail and Hatterene, though they stood their ground.[break][break]

Zev whistled, high and sharp. His Pokémon charged. Huntail summoned a WHIRLPOOL around the Metagross. Hatterene glowed, a crystalline aura encasing her as she Terastallized before swiping at both of Kyle's Pokémon with BRUTAL SWING again.[break][break]

In the chaos, Zev rushed at Kyle, aiming a clawed hand at his head.

his eyes were never away from zev. he only has one weapon on hand, having prepared to take it out at any moment after he was attacked the first time.

a knife is pulled out, swinging it up right before the claws reach his head. a metallic clink rings as two of the same material clashes. he raises his foot soon after, dropping a push kick right on zev's chest.

the howl continues, ending abruptly to brace itself for the incoming brutal swing. the metagross forces itself to move as soon as the mightyena's song ends, marking the huntail down as per the alpha's command..

ORDERS OF THE ALPHA:

the user can specific a single target. allies that have SUBMITTED to the user can only attack that target. that target takes increased damage from ally pokemon.

only one pokemon can be targeted at a time.


it lunges forward, ignoring the pain from both of their attacks and brute forcing its way towards the water-type to take down its adversary.

The shock of Kyle's knife not shattering as it blocked Zev's attack was enough to leave Zev open for Kyle's kick. The Rocket Beast stumbled backward. Thankfully, he regained his balance before he could fall over, still too stunned to retaliate right away.[break][break]

Blue eyes stared at the knife with laser focus.[break][break]

The metal did not gleam in the light, instead appearing much like a void cut out of space. Its shape was practical, more of a hunting knife than one meant for combat. Yet Kyle wielded it expertly, as if he had been crafted specifically for his hand.[break][break]

"Where did you get that?" Zev demanded in a rough tone, the sound like stone against stone.[break][break]

He could only reach one conclusion: that Kyle had ventured into Lesser Megalopolis and collected shards from the ULTRA BEASTS there, using them to forge that knife. But was that even possible?[break][break]

Nearby, his Huntail cried out as she was crushed beneath the Metagross' weight. Twisting around, she retaliated with CLAMP. Hatterene assisted, ignoring the Mightyena for a moment to rain MYSTICAL FIRE upon the Iron Leg Pokémon.

"galar," he answers without skipping a beat. "i know you gave me your mask, but i can't give this to you."

he had practice with the knife earlier, and as his hand gets used to the gripped, kyle gets more comfortable with using it. it's almost felt natural in a way, akin to muscle memory. as far as he knows, the only other times he used a knife was in the kitchen.

"there's only one way to take this from me, though."

the grim reminder was neither a taunt or a suicidal suggestion, but the objective truth. kyle takes the offensive this time despite his words. with the weapon in front of him, he prepares another swipe at the armored avatar.

frustrations well up on the mightyena's inability to use hard-hitting moves on its own. the howl grows more ominous as it orders the metagross to do what it wants to do.

the pain of the heat melting away its shell was ignored for the orders of the alpha. it powers through, and even had the huntail not clamped itself on the pokemon, the metagross' target would've been the same.

with the last of its strength, it raises one of its metal legs and hammer arm crushes down the pokemon that kept itself wrapped around it.

Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

"Galar."[break][break]

Zev's mind, convinced that Galar had been nothing more than a ridiculous dream, went immediately to Zamazenta's shield instead. It had turned black and crumbled when the Ruination struck it, shedding black metal fragments. Some had been siphoned into him when he'd neared them, but not all.[break][break]

Kyle must have collected some, Zev decided. Perhaps he'd also gone to LESSER MEGALOPOLIS where the same material coated Guzzlord and Blacephalon in armor.[break][break]

But he had no time to voice these thoughts. Kyle attacked, blade swiping at Zev's body. Crystal rang together as the blade skidded across Zev's arm, raised to block the attack. In retaliation, the Rocket Beast kicked low, attempting to sweep Kyle's feet from under him.[break][break]

The HAMMER ARM crushed Huntail's body, knocking loose scales by the handful. Huntail squirmed beneath the weight of the Metagross, jaws still clenched around one of its legs as she continued to CLAMP down.[break][break]

But her strength was fading fast; she would not last long. Her only hope was for Hatterene's MYSTICAL FIRE to force the Metagross away or kill it.

he drops to the ground with the knife still clutched on his hands. he's not going to let go of it.

the mask hides his quivering smile. excitement intermingles with anxiety with the possibility of his life ending. the question of ho-oh's abilities applying to himself was present, and there was never an opportunity to find out until now.

"who do you think the next champion will be?" he asks as he lays. the implication was clear. "would they be easier or more difficult to deal with?"

he was never proactive to begin with, compared to the ones aiming to take his seat.

the orders were already given to the metagross. it doesn't let go of the huntail underneath it as its plates melt down. liquid metal drips on to the aquatic lifeform as it pins it down with its weight.

without its lackey, the mightyena fires off its attack. hidden power strikes the hatterene as payback for the previous lashes it gave the previously dark-type psychic-type.

Kyle fell hard to the ground. Zev was on him in a flash, one hand pinning him down, one arm drawn back. A crystalline spike extended from the back of Zev's hand, black as the void and malice-sharp.[break][break]

In the background, Huntail screamed with the last of her lifeforce. The Metagross' weight, combined with the scalding metal of its body, crushed her bones and burned through her body. Her jaws released its limb as she collapsed backward, dead.[break][break]

HIDDEN POWER pushed back Zev's Hatterene. With a cry of frustration, she turned her attention back to the Mightyena, countering with SPRINGTIDE STORM.[break][break]

Kyle asked his question, a certainty in his words despite the slight quiver in his voice. But Zev had no answer. Inside him, there existed no empathy, no reluctance, no guilt.[break][break]

But then, unbidden, words echoed in the Beast's head from the DREAM OF GALAR: "You're talking to Ho-oh's Avatar. I don't die. I respawn."[break][break]

The spike plunged down toward Kyle's heart.
