With the acquisition of the so called "Violet Book", a new portion of the simulated universe had been unlocked for Rocket's perusal, as well as additional scenarios in the ESSE EST PERCIPI section that they had yet to fully map from the first Seal Stone. Naturally it had been a matter of course for Xenon to gravitate towards the new instead of lingering on that which she had already gone through, electing to be one of the first to dive into the Violet Book's depths alongside Howard.
[break][break]
And of course a new world meant a new start for herself, though perhaps not a total reinvention of herself for now. The girl looks in the mirror as she wakes up that day within the Rocket submarine, quietly taking off her cosmetic glasses and studying her face. "Hm... lets restyle the hair. Go for a softer look in the facial features. Wardrobe change. Yeah, this will work." Xenon mutters as she picks up a pair of scissors and begins trimming her hair, parting it to the side as she practices her facial expressions. Being harsh and forceful was acting as a barrier to further ascension through Rocket's ranks at this point, she needed to grow as a person if she was to make the connections she needed to rise to power now.
[break][break]
"Alright so, the Violet Book produced some legendaries from Ancient Galar, or at least the version of Ancient Galar we were in. It's got a picture of a Cyclizar on it. And it has some sort of connection to Power Spots? Does that about cover everything?" She didn't actually care how Howard responded to that, she just knew that the guy liked to feel like he was in control of something and was giving him a little opportunity to do just that while Xenon ran some last minute calculations through her head. They were diving into unknown territory here, which meant she needed to bring her A game team with her, all Ultramodern Paradoxes plus her loyal partner hidden in her shadow. For a moment she considered delaying to send for her Unown to be brought with her as well, but that kind of chaotic energy would make for a substandard baseline if it affected the simulation in any way.
[break][break]
Alright yeah, looks like they were all going to be as ready as they ever could be. Once the admin had finished saying everything he needed to say, Xenon raises her arm up and signals for the engineers to start the test up, machines humming to life as blue lights illuminate the room and swallow their bodies into the digital realm. Lines of code stream through her mind as they delve into the simulated universe and the pages of the Violet Book, a peculiar feeling tugs at her soul as the hairs on the back of her neck rise. So they were going to be diving headfirst into danger then? She cannot help the light tilt of her lips up as she stretches her arms out and grabs hold, nothing more exciting than a chase.
[break][break]
And just like that they were in the thick of it, the two Rocket members riding on jet powered Cyclizars through a cyberpunk future, a horde of Genesect screeching from behind firing their Techno Blasts at the fleeing criminals. "Hah. Haha. Hahaha! How exhilarating, it seems as though this new portion of the System has resonated with my soul!" Xenon cheers as she clutches tightly to her Cyclizar, eyes darting in every direction as she's utterly overwhelmed by the neon lights shining down on her.

The Violet Book was overrated.

There, he said it.

Not because of some childish notion of it being a book filled with technical jargon, or its strange cover. No, it overrated because it had caused vastly more issues than it had solved. It had spat out three Galarian birds, which all flew off. It had stories, fairy tales, and poems of Galar, which were all well and good. Yet Howard could not forgive the cover.

It was untranslatable.

Between Naomi Sato , BARNABY FINCH , and Howard, hundreds upon hundreds of hours had been spent pouring over the book, only to end up with nothing. It was demeaning.

Now, they were in the simulation reserved for members of Team Rocket, and what a piece of sensory overload it was. Once Howard got over his initial bout of digitization and screaming, he could respond to Xenon's question.

"Roughly, that's correct. Now can you choose where we go before we both diEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Howard yelled as the duo were flung into the simulation. Cyclizar bobbed and weaved through the Genesects' Techno Blasts. Watching them, Howard was reminded of oscar clayton and his Genesect. Howard loathed the Pokémon. It was born from a fossil, but it had been encased in a chassis of steel.

She looked better than she did before. The wardrobe change was a vast improvement, but Howard would never tell her that. From his experiences with Xenon, giving her an inch meant losing a mile. Instead, he'd contemplate this simulation. Howard did not trust it. It was alien. Wrong. Alternate histories and futures? Those did not matter.

The only Hoenn mattered was the one that existed now.

"We gotta lose them! Take corners!" Howard barked at Xenon as she became one with the atmosphere. Great, she was having a moment. "Get your head in the game!"

What a beautiful future, what an ideal world. Metal dominates everything in sight with not a spot of earth to be seen, the neon lights cut through the grimy streets as rubber wheels peel across the asphalt. Howard's screams faintly echo in the back of her mind as Xenon strokes the metal carapace of the Cyclizar she's riding, Techno Blasts of all elements pounding into the concrete around and sending shards of stone flying through the air as she weaves through the rows of cars.
[break][break]
Ah, the people! They're so beautiful! Chrome lines their faces as they scream in terror, metal augmentations replacing their body with works of art, the people of the future evolve just like the Pokemon! Howard's voice grows more insistent as he screams louder and clings tightly to his Cyclizar, a tinge of irritation builds at the base of her skull as she turns to look over her shoulder and glare at the archaeologist barking these orders at her. "What, you can't take any initiative of your own? Just speed up and take the lead yourself if you're so scared!" She reaches out and grabs the handlebars mounted to the Cyclizar, revving the engine and injecting pure adrenaline into her mount as it speeds up and bounds over a Techno Blast of pure electricity. "Fine, take the alleys and gather them up. I'll handle this."
[break][break]
Xenon twists right into a dark alleyway, half of their pursuers struggling to slow down and turn around as they zoom right past the opening, weapons trained on Howard now as he follows closely behind the scientist.

Xenon's mind is working in overdrive as she bobs and weaves through the choked alleyways of this futuristic city, calculating precise angles she needs to take while simultaneously limiting her options based on Howard's own capabilities in following her. Perhaps if she was partnered up with someone just a bit more physically competent or even by herself she could have escaped these Genesect, but as things stood there was only one end to this road that Xenon could see. And it was fast approaching.
[break][break]
Her Cyclizar screeches to a halt as they hit the dead end of the final alleyway, spinning on its front wheel to face their pursuers with narrowed eyes and a wide smile. "If you think I'm going down without a fight, then you don't know anything about Xenon Civitas Antheil!" The ultramodernist screams as her shadow roils behind her, the mounted Genesect officers murmur in confusion briefly as they look at one another, uneasy Pokemon with guns trained firmly on the duo as they deliberate on what to do.
[break][break]
Boom.
[break][break]
A distant explosion of prismatic light plunges the world into darkness in the blink of an eye, Xenon doesn't hesitate in the slightest as raises her legs up onto the saddle of her Cyclizar and leaps into action, grabbing onto the ankles of a Genesect and screaming as Argon crawls up her back and blasts the techno-bug with the deadly purple light of Night Shade from its eyes. "I'll kill every last one of you and take this future for my own!" The woman screams as five flashes of light illuminate the dark alleyway, techno-organic Paradoxes roaring into action and absolutely descending upon this horde of Genesect and their trainers with brutal efficiency. They do not come out unscathed, but they emerge victorious nevertheless after a minute of raw chaos as the lights return to the city.

"Yes, fight! Fight! Death to abominations!"

Howard hated Genesects. They were a tool before they were a Pokémon. A hideous mockery and perversion of ancient predators, turned into engines of war by Team Rocket. It was a spit in the face of archaeology, to know that prehistoric Pokémon had been turned into tools. Howard wouldn't subject one of his fossils to such a humiliating and destructive transformation.

Death would be preferable.

To join Xenon's entourage, a swarm of ancient Pokémon support Xenon's futuristic brigade, aiding with a slew of Reflects, Light Screens, and even Gravity to bring the Genesect crashing to the ground. Xenon's Pokémon would pick at them, despite a slew of wounds.

It was a strange sight, seeing Pokémon of the future dance alongside ancient sentries for civilizations long gone. Despite his hatred for Genesect, Howard did not hate the Paradox Pokémon from the future. Those, at least, had the decency to be from a possible future that Howard had no interest in pursuing. Those that came from the past, meanwhile, spat on everything that Howard held dear.

It was hypocritical, after a fact, but that didn't stop the archaeologist from viewing the walking paradoxes as such.

"Xenon, let's go! Another stage is coming up!" Howard hadn't been into the RKS, but he had read enough about it from reports to understand how it worked. That didn't make it any less odd, but it made the experience far less of a train wreck.

The next stage awaited the Admin and Executive.

Ah, but the future can only last so long before it too fades into that digital sea. Its a sight that could bring the cold hearted girl to tears as the world of her dreams is reduced to naught but bits and bytes, fading away into the next world as they plunge through the simulated universe. Even a ruthless killer can't help but shed a tear as she's forced to say goodbye to her dreams once again.
[break][break]
But even the future becomes the past, thus she cannot linger on it. Maybe this is something of a contradiction for the girl who only looks to the future, or maybe its just an evolution of her perspective now that she's finally caught another glimpse of her goals. But she'd hold onto that image in her heart, a reference for the road she seeks, a goal to help guide her steps. So even as she catches sight of the ancient Pokemon all around her, she does not feel the rage and disgust she would have felt seeing those disgusting glimpses of the past. She still doesn't enjoy their presence, but she tempers her wrath and dunks her head in cold water, eyes locked to the future even as she looks to the past.
[break][break]
Xenon takes a deep breath in. And then she lets it back out.
[break][break]
"Yeah, let's go."
[break][break]
Once again she finds herself amidst the storybook pages of ancient Galar, walking through this little hamlet in the middle of nowhere as the god of Dynamax flies through the heavens. She wants to tear it from the sky and eats its bone marrow, but she doesn't have the power for such a feat, not yet. Instead they are offered a sword and a shield, the blade that strikes down their enemy and the plate that defends their body and soul.
[break][break]
The scientist cannot trust herself to be objective in her choice right now, her emotions are too raw, the light was too blinding. "It's a cold day in hell before I ever ask you this again Admin Slayte, but today is feeling a bit chilly. What do you think would be best to take?"

"Funny. You feel the cold?" Howard smiled without warmth. "I haven't felt it in a while. That artifact sapped that feeling out of me, I'm afraid."

The RKS Simulation was so strange. It was weird. Odd. Unknown. Howard didn't even understand how it worked, and when he asked Head Scientist Sato or Lulu Flint for an explanation, they had stared at him and given him an explanation so esoteric that it had flew over his head. Once they got past 'seal stones', it was like they were speaking a language Howard had never heard of.

It was a shock that there were even languages that Howard didn't know. Maybe Xenon understood how it worked, because the archaeologist didn't.

He grabbed Xenon's shoulders. He grabbed them hard, and he pointed up at the sky. His eye blazed with a rage that he didn't fully understand. He had never been to the dream of Galar, but Navy had described it to him. That dragon up there had been written of in the Desert Ruins, and in the Regice Ruins.

It had battled Regice and Regirock long ago, with the golems defending Hoenn.

"Take a look, Xenon. That's our enemy. The real enemy." He turned to her. "Prepare for it. Burn it into your mind."

They looked at the weapons. Sword or shield. Howard wasn't a good warrior, and he suspected that Xenon wouldn't respect the decision that he was about to make. A good historian was meant to preserve things, not destroy them. He would protect stories, not cut down foes.

He would not be a warrior, but perhaps Xenon would be.

Yet she had given him the choice. He picked up the shield.

"Constantly. Chien-Pao left a real scar on me." She clenches her artificial hand tightly, a pang of cold bites the point where her shoulder meets her prosthetic, some scars would always remain no matter how she denied the past.
[break][break]
Xenon snaps out of her reverie as Howard forcefully grabs her, pointing to the sky and speaking his truth of what enemies plagued Rocket, the foe that he hated so. The ultramodernist could relate, she had seen the strength of that thing in the dream of Galar so long ago, fought its armies on a battlefield much like this one.
[break][break]
Yet even with the hate in his heart for that black beast, he instead picks up the shield to weather its blows. A regal beast emerges from the stone and howls its defiance to the sky, merging with the ancient shield and assuming its true form in a flash of golden light. It cannot speak, but the way it looks at Xenon and Howard, they could clearly understand its invitation as it turns back to the battlefield and charges onward, a smile creeps up on the scientist's face as she plucks up a Pokeball and releases Boron onto the field. "Well, it would be pretty rude to say no to such an invitation to battle~" Two magnetic handholds are slapped onto the Iron Tread's side as Xenon grabs on, hanging from the steel tank's body as it rolls on after the Zamazenta.
[break][break]
And so the battle rages on, the Shield of the People bounding into action to protect its people, Xenon and Howard following in its wake and slaying every Dynamaxed Pokemon they came across. The battle was surely one of legend, something that would be written of in fables and fairy tales. But alas, this too was naught more than a digital dream, one they would have to wake up from as they quickly approached their final stage.

"It'll leave more than scars. It'll leave you with hate." Howard tipped his hat and bowed to a hero of Galar. As Zamazenta crowned itself for battle, Howard stood. "You understand hate, well enough?"

It was the lowest common denominator for Rocket, after all. Everyone from the meanest grunt to the slyest underboss had hate boiling within their veins. Hate for the world, hate for lost love, hate for society. Hate. Hate. Hate. jayden cross and Chien-Pao understood that, and the latter elevated it to a form of expression and art.

A solemn mockery of the medium, but an expression nonetheless.

"Eternatus..." Howard's Sigilyth returned to their Pokeballs as he regarded a fourth ball, coated in frost. He had a Pokeball that had sworn to battle Eternatus. He would not derive it from this chance. There was a tool for every task, and a task for every tool. "This is a stage worthy for you...!"

He threw the ball. A golem erupted out and immediately screamed at the sky, towards the incoming Dynamax Cannon. It was fighting a foe that it hadn't seen in epochs. To see it now was a dire surprise, but the Skeleton Gigantic had appeared. Ancient orders that had been programmed long ago were engaged.

"Regice!" Howard shouted. "Go!"

The golem responded to the attack with a Hyper Beam, and the simulation ascended to the next stage. The last expression on his face was a wry smile as the two sources of Dynergy caused the system to spark, distort, and bug out. Howard relished in the outpour of Dynergy, before laughing once.

Then, ascension.

[attr="class","itemcoltexttit"]MIRAIDON 1

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]The scene changes to a terastal cavern. Encased entirely in these crystals, you see your reflection... and beside yourself is a massive lizard-like creature. The simulation states that the Pokemon is a Miraidon: a robotic, calculating dragon able to scorch the earth into ash. No other data exists pertaining to this Iron Serpent. Curiously, it seems paired with you.[break][break]

A roar rattles down the tunnel. Another Miraidon hovers toward you in ultimate form, its jet engines pulsing blue and electrical bolts sparking from its metallic plating.[break][break]

You're in the middle of a territorial dispute and there's no way out.

A bright flash of light engulfs the duo, the world around them fades to white as they're thrown into the final stage of the Violet Book's simulation. Xenon sighs as she straightens out her coat and brushes the dust from her shoulders, what an annoying reminder of the past. "All too familiar. But that's that and this is this." Hm. She had never really considered if the scars that ruinous thing had left on her had had any lingering effect. But well, she had spent so long in that dream as someone else that the feeling faded. Maybe that hate had started to burn just a little brighter after the sword of ruin took her arm for its prize, she certainly did hate knowing that such a thing was able to take from her. Just like they did.

"Damnit. You're a right bastard Slayte, making me think about the past like that." It was time to look to the encroaching future coming up. The light begins to fade as they reach their final destination, the first thing they see are the dull blue lights of Tera Crystals pulsing in tandem. Like the heartbeat of the earth itself... or perhaps something even greater than that.

What catches her attention is not the reflection beside her. It is the rumbling of an organic engine in her ear, an electric hum from a creature nudging her shoulder with its head. "What-?" Xenon turns quickly as she grabs at the sword at her waist, it got so close so fast, even Argon barely had time to respond as she comes face to face with....

"My god." God. Yes, god was the only word she could use to describe this magnificent dragon facing her. It's curious blue eyes watching to see what she would do, lightning arcing to form wild eyebrows reaching back and up. The thrumming pulse of an engine within its chest, a surging flow of a familiar liquid that would grant power to the children of the future. A voice from above clinically describes the creature as Miraidon, an Iron Serpent with the power to turn the land to ash with its destructive lightning. But it's all meaningless noise for the Ultramodernist looking upon the future she was chasing after.

"Howard... is this real?
