Northern Province - Area 2 (Riding) - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
[break]

THE BORDER IS A MOUNTAINOUS PURGATORY OF MUTED SEPIA SMOKE. By floating islands, translucent bridges soar through the realm toward the heavens. Tall stone spires jut out from the spiritual mist. In the sky, the wisps of spirits can be seen heading toward their final destination before the afterlife...[break][break]

Curiously, there are four broken seals embedded in four mountains. Though Adrian Malcolm and YVELTAL may have seen their location upon their unceremonious entry, the spirit realm has shifted since their last visit, rendering each broken seal far apart from each other.

[attr="class","oznimain"]They were just two straight dudes riding a dragon. This was something Ozni kept reminding himself of as every tilt sent him rocking back into Big Daddy Benoit. At the dragon’s head, a shadow gremlin kept their heading, occasionally adjusting it with an emphatic point. Rushing to keep up, his Porygon-Z kept swinging the camera to capture the scene. Some of his viewers probably had vertigo by now.

While he wasn’t a patient man, the Alolan couldn’t help but feel like someone was making this way more grating. Like that heart rock had looked way closer an hour ago.

His stomach fell to the floor as the Hydreigon dove. Ozni scooted backward to avoid slipping forward, ending up somewhere between Thomas’s legs. He grinned. “Hey, Benoit. Is that a banana in your pocket or are you—” A wordless gasp escaped as the CEO caught sight of the island they just dodged. Twisting his torso, he watched as the earth itself transformed. “--holy shitake.”

The man watched as the rocks seemed to melt before him. The boulders slowly pull apart like toffee. Holes appeared as they silently fell into the pit below them. "Dude.” A thousand different physics equations ran through his mind. His substantial knowledge of science tried to explain what was happening. In the end, he settled for an exclamation: “It’s—-it’s growing!”

As the Hydreigon raced through the Border, Thomas frowned. Why the hell didn't he make sure that the other man had a mount of his own? Why didn't he bring a second mount this time?

As Ozni scooted back into him, Thomas' eyes widened with irritation. Before the man could complete his sentence, Oz was silenced by the sight of the stretching topology of the realm.

"It's stretching itself thin, to the point where it's tearing itself apart.", Thomas remarked.

Finally, they would approach their destination. The spirit of a young girl, which seemed to be surrounded by what appeared to be darker spirits.

"That her?", Thomas asked Ozni.

[attr="class","oznimain"]Blue eyes widened as the strange phenomenon continued. The fact that he was uncomfortably close to Thomas didn’t even bother him at that point. Like a car crash, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from it. After a moment, a small, awed noise escaped him. Why??” It wasn’t like he expected Mister Muscles to answer. It’d probably take harassing some PhD to get a real solution to the problem. But it wasn’t the stretching that bugged him. It was what it implied. “I feel like that may cause an eensy-weensy problem on the way back, compadre.”

Eventually, he turned away with a shrug. That was a problem for an older, wiser Ozni to worry about. He was exploring the land of the dead for Arceus’s sake! Shaking his head, the CEO turned to the Porygon-Z and the audience behind it. A shit-eating grin spread across his face. “And, if you look to your right, you’ll see my dad’s heart.” The island in question was black and shriveled like a raisin. “Tells you a lot about my childhood, huh?”

Thomas’s question draws Ozni’s head. For a moment, there’s a look of confusion. As if he’d forgotten what they were looking for during his stand-up set. With a huff of annoyance, he turns to face the girl beneath them. He blinks twice. “You do know I’ve never met the stiff, right?” As if answering his question, an icepick of a headache drives through his left eye. Images of a time long past appear—the images fuzzy and almost spectral. That stupid kid! Ozni grits his teeth as he sees a wide, girlish smile.

“Yeah.” He murmurs. “It’s her.”[break]

Even if the CEO didn't expect an answer from Thomas, the disgraced Marquis had something to say. "Perhaps that's a question for Yveltal.", Thomas remarked. The former Avatar spoke the name of the Emissary of Death with venom and spite.

As the Orrean made his joke about his dad, Thomas rolled his eyes, and kept riding. Thankfully, the two arrived at their destination.

Thomas immediately tossed down two Pokeballs, one containing his Ceruledge, the other his Annihilape. "Defend the girl!", Thomas called out to the duo.

The Ceruledge immediately got to work on the malevolent spirits, hacking away at them with Bitter Blades. Ralph the Annihilape struck at the spirits with his Rage Fist. With each hit he had to endure, his rage only accumulated.

"I'm gonna find a place to land!", he told Ozni. Kalameet went to work finding a suitable place to allow the two humans to dismount off of him.

[attr="class","oznimain"]The comment drew Ozni’s attention. That angry, bitter tone was pretty obvious. A dark, manicured brow went up. Someone’s got an issue with the bacon bird. Though that brought up a lot of questions, he figured the frog wouldn’t be open to sharing. Besides, most people hated death. It wasn’t like this guy was anything special, So, he focused on more important—more noteworthy things. “That’d be one hell of an interview, man.”

Watching the Pokemon hit the ground, Oz’s thoughts fixated on a single thought: Gods, that’s cool. Those initial bursts of attacks clashed in a sci-fi epic of purple flame and shifting shadows. The glowing fists and King-Kong antics amped things up. It made him want to join in. With his best gym leader impression, Ozni pulled a ball from his belt. With a grin, he tossed it down onto the platform below. “Princess Lei!” His voice carried easily to the confused Comfey.

“Keep the kid safe!” Just as a spirit charged, the fairy type summoned up a Floral Shield. The shadow’s fist glanced harmlessly off of it. Spurned on by his courage, Ozni lifted from his seat. “There’s an outcropping over there.”

"Just watch your back, yeah? Take it from me, Yveltal has a bad habit of backstabbing.", he'd advise, still as venomous as before.

Thomas' focus was on finding an ideal landing zone. Thankfully, Oz made himself useful, and pointed him towards the outcropping.

The Hydreigon banked towards the outcropping, decelerating as he made his way down. Upon hovering mere inches above ground, Thomas hopped off the back of the three-headed beast.

"Cover us from the air!", Thomas called out to the dragon, who'd give an affirmative growl, before taking off again. The Hydreigon wasted no time in assailing the malicious spirits with Dark Pulses from above, like a living gunship.

[attr="class","oznimain"]Pianist fingers splay melodramatically across his chest. His free hand unfurls from the dragon’s mane to wipe away imaginary tears. “Awwww! You do care!” A blue eye winks as Oz pauses. The idea of backstabbing didn’t scare him one bit. He’d grown up with a bunch of greedy billionaires. From a young age, his whole life had been an orchestrated mess. “But you don’t need to worry about me, babe. I’ve tangoed with worse.”

Ozni didn’t immediately hop off. As long as he stayed airborne, courage was pretty damned easy to come by. But, suddenly, those shadows seemed a lot more dangerous. The second his feet touched the stone, the dragon took back to the air. Smart move if you ask me. Instead of charging forward, Ozni tossed out another Pokeball. While the Comfey guarded the sobbing child—through whose body you could see cracking stone—an Arctozolt appeared.

But, before it could react, one of the shadows rocketed toward its trainer. Already over the whole possession thing, Ozni tried to pivot out of the way. This only brought him nose to nose with a strange, inky pocket in the ground. “AH!?” His hand slapped at the shadow like his arm was a tennis racket. The thing stretched like taffy as it bounced from him to .

Shaking her head at Daddy, Arctozolt waddled toward the nearest shadow squadron. “Zozozozooooolt!” ICEE sneezed. The confusion in the spirits turned to fear as icicles skewered them from above.

Thomas wasted no time in deploying his next fighters, Kuma Lisa the Zoroark, and Brutus the Pangoro.

The Zoroark unleashed a Night Daze towards a group of spirits, consuming them in darkness. From the cover of darkness, Brutus rushed the group, striking them down with well-placed Throat Chops. The dark duo joined the ghosts in their defense of the child's spirit.

Upon seeing the shadow rocketing towards him, Thomas swatted the splotch back, towards the group, in order to finish it off.

Unfortunately, this played right into its 'plan.' Thomas and Ozni, thanks to their contact with the glob of shadow, were both tethered to it. And with a flick of its tendrils, the shadow yanked the souls out of their bodies, only to throw them into the opposite body.

"What the-", Thomas began, the sudden shift in perspective throwing him off. Thomas then looked over to Oz, or his own body. Thomas then looked down, to see that he was inhabiting Oz's body.

"The fuck!?", Thomas growled, in a voice that wasn't his own.

[attr="class","oznimain"]Ozni wished he had a tennis racket right about now. He felt himself lifting off the ground as the ghoul opposite cracked the tendril-like a whip. The world spun for a moment as everything turned weightless. Desperately trying to avoid flying into the void, he reached for the first thing he could, Thomas’s slouched form.

The next thing he knew, his eyes and hands felt wrong. His arms felt stubby and his lithe musculature was replaced with a buff beach body. But he looked paler than an anemic vampire! Yuck! Then, of course, there was the sudden sense of nausea. His mind didn’t know how to control this. Turning to see himself, the CEO felt his breath escape him in a little gasp. Man, I really am something else. Those shoes look fly AF.

The profanity drew a shout of protest."Hey!" That guy was polluting his poor tongue! the gestures looked nothing like Thomas’s either. They were more exaggerated. “Watch the language!” Shaking off his vertigo, the man jogged toward, well, himself. The fight was temporarily ignored in favor of this. It was kind of fun once he got over the weirdness.

“So, uh, any idea how to switch back?” His Arctzolt unleashed another avalanche on the shadow hoard as it approached. An icicle pierced through the spirit who’d started this mess. It vanished with a shriek. “Think kissing will work?” He grinned, lighting Thomas’s normally dour face up like a Broadway stage. “It works in the movies.”

Blue eyes dropped to where the switcheroo tendril had fallen. Maybe that thing could switch them back?

How could this be happening!? He was stuck in Ozni's body, and Ozni was in his. Thomas looked down at his hands, and back at his body, occupied by his partner.

Thomas glared at Ozni, and flipped the man the bird in defiance.

"I have no idea, but we'd better think of something, and fast.", Thomas responded to Ozni promptly, walking over to the limp shadow-like being.

"Hell no!", Thomas coldly shot the other man down. "I know how much you love yourself, but not in my body!", Thomas protested.

The Marshadow that occupied Thomas' shadow previously, took notice to the spirit swap. The adorable Gloomdweller inspected the fallen shadow, quickly noticing it 'died.'

The Marshadow attempted to reassure them that there was hope. But first, they had to save the spirit of the child.

Mordred and Ralph continued to fight off the ghosts with everything they had.

[attr="class","oznimain"]At the gesture, Ozni took a step back. His lips dropped open in faux shock, a hand spreading mockingly across his chest. “I am appalled, sir. Appalled, I say!” The man piped back in the ex-Elite Four’s voice. At the refusal, the CEO sighed. “I’m out of ideas then.” Notably, he didn’t deny being full of himself—it was a family trait.

Though he didn’t want to kiss himself. He had plenty of ladies to pick from out there. Probably more than hair gel helmet over here. A spirit flew over his head. It vanished off the cliff behind him. Let’s give this a go.

He sighed and turned back to the battle. “You’re going to feel really stupid if that’s the answer.” With a shake of his head, he turned to face his Arctozolt. The little shadow was right. They needed to focus. He doubted the viewers would like it if he just let this girl get torn apart. “ICEE, baby! Give Daddy an avalanche!” The ice type sniffed as she stared at whom she thought was her trainer.

That confusion is short, however, as the ghosts attack. The avalanche buries many of them under its cold embrace. Around the same time, the other two Pokemon fell the last one. As the area quiets, the flowery shield around the girl begins to flicker.

“You’re good, Lei!” Man, that Kalosian accent was weird. It made him feel like he was hocking baguettes in a mime outfit.

When it drops, the girl stares up at them. Her eyes are teary, full of fear and anxiety.

Thomas rolled his eyes at the man's behavior. He couldn't believe that Ozni was acting like this, in his own body.

Thomas took a deep breath. "There are ways to knock our souls out of our bodies. I've had Mordred do it to me before, so we could escape an avalanche.", Thomas told the man occupying his body. "Let's just worry about the girl here, and then we can take care of this, if things don't sort themselves out first.", Thomas continued.

Thomas watched as the Avalanche buried most of the remaining spirits. Mordred and Ralph finished the job, warding them off, and saving the girl from their machinations.

"Casey?", Thomas spoke up, crouching down to her level. "We're here to reunite you with your brother, and grandfather."

Thomas noticed a familiar little figure huddled up with the ghost of the lass. There was no mistaking it, a Marshadow, just like the one he befriended.

[attr="class","oznimain"]The Kalosian’s face crinkled in full-on confusion. Sure, there was a lot to unpack here. The fact that the realm of death was stretching behind them. Or the fact that a giant horde of spirits wanted to tear them apart. “Wait, wait.” Fingers that really needed a tan raised for pause. A shadowy arm rocketed overhead. “How did that help you escape anything?” Your body would still end up trapped in a pile of ice and snow.

Then, the frog reminded him of something—the girl. Right. For a split-second, Oz was tempted to turn away. It wasn’t like he owed this kid anything. That bratty brother of hers would have been totally fine turning him into a meat puppet. But one look at her changed that. Her eyes looked like they’d inflated. Their clear, crystalline blue was hard to resist. He ruffled Thomas’s helmet of hair. “Riiiiight. The kid.”

This stuff he’d leave to Thomas.

The little girl stared up at Thomas-Ozni with wide eyes. “Y-yes?” She swallows. Hopeful eyes scoured the area for a familiar face. “Where—where are they?” She curled her arms around the little shadow doll with her. “They aren’t mad, right?”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you on the way out.", Thomas promised the man inhabiting his body.

"I believe your grandfather is waiting in heaven. I met your brother in another section of the Border. He sent me on your trail, actually.", Thomas told the ghost of the girl soothingly. "No, they're not mad at you. They just want you to see you again, safe and sound.", he attempted to comfort her.

Thomas' own Marshadow emerged from the shadow of his physical body, and began to greet the other Marshadow that the girl held onto. "I'll let you three get acquainted, I've got some quick business to attend to."

He then beckoned Mordred and Ralph to him and Ozni. "Ralph, Rage Fist on my body. Mordred, smack into this body with Phantom Force.", Thomas commanded the two.

The duo did as they were instructed. The Annihilape struck Thomas' body in the midsection with a spectral fist. Meanwhile, the Ceruledge bumped into Ozni's body with Phantom Force, expeling both vessels of their souls, and allowing them to dive back into their proper bodies.
