Tagtree Thicket - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
[break]

THE ULTRA CRATER IS A LARGE EXPANSE UNDERNEATH A YELLOW SKY. In between thick, almost impassable jungles, craters filled with green fields and alien plants lay. What appears to be metal pipe-like roots grow out the rock of crater walls. Geysers dot this alien landscape, occasionally expelling shrieking steam.[break][break]

The world is frequented by earthquakes, causing odd red monoliths of rock to quake throughout the realm. Oddly, the Ultra Thicket possesses very fertile soil. In the distance, a large mountainous expanse can be seen, though the range does not seem too high.

ULTRA CRATER: FJ

THE WILDS

“INDEED.”

the TYPE:NULL and SILVALLY are out already. these pokemon do more than serve as wards. they navigate the environment with ease, able to detect ULTRA BEAST well before their human counterparts. it’s being able to rear them in rather than tapping into their primal urge to yap that separates them from wild beasts.

“ultra crater expedition two,” he narrates to the SILPH SCOPE recording betwen the two of them. “we have brought the items inscribed on the bamboo from expedition one.”

"similar to the first ultra crater expedition, there are signs of plantlife that, when touched, begin to drain our vitality. unsure if they are drawn to us, to warmth, or to any living thing."[break][break]

for clarity, he points to said plantlife, making sure to navigate around and through them to avoid them entirely, and in doing so he ends up nearing tendrils of flowers that hang from above.[break][break]

thinking nothing of it at first, it's only as he steps underneath them that he stops, blinks, and looks back at fernando.[break][break]

"s-sir? what are we doing here?"[break][break]

ULTRA CRATER: FJ

THE WILDS

“HM?”

the question catches him off guard. there’s no need for him to approach, so he keeps his distances, unaffected by the plant-life’s unknown influence. however, anyone’s proximity is enough for them to activate. like a time lapsed bloom, the flowers open up, releasing built up gas.

harmless, at first glance, even he’s caught by their fumes when he unintentionally inhales.

“baker. we’re here to investigate wild rift f1 on behalf of–”

a small division losing its members due to his own impossible standards? or rather the weak will of the average layman? what should be a team of four has been reduced to two. even those back at the home base, how long will they last? how long until hoenn chews on their convictions and spits out their broken spirits?

silence permeates his mind until the obvious glare of a full moon stares down at them. a moon that hadn’t been there only moments earlier.

silence takes them, and for what seems like minutes, he's caught staring up at the moon that appears overhead, half in admiration and awe and half in worry.[break][break]

it isn't until his type: null barks and nips on james' hand to pull him out of the fumes does he regain mental clarity.[break][break]

"behalf of aeos?"[break][break]

he blinks, then looks around to quickly realize their situation.[break][break]

"get him out of there as well, please."[break][break]

his type: null urges the other creations on the field to help usher their maker out and away.[break][break]

🗺️ utilize a type: null or ultra beast in an advantageous way.

“INDEED.”

fernando’s sudden sense of loss does little to impact his memory. for his conundrum is on the resolve he holds so close to his heart. the ability to trudge on regardless. an admiration that wavers but never crumbles. it steadies itself in the cradle of jame’s convalesce.

“we should head back,” fernando declares, counting the second it takes his SYNC STONE to pulse.

it makes sense considering their plan was to take a new route back to the rift portal. a path they have yet to travel, and one that proves much longer due to the obstacles and vast desert they have to cross.

a place that remain unmapped.

"roger, roger."[break][break]

and so, the two of them begin to make the journey back, only this time traveling a different route, one they've yet to explore.[break][break]

as they begin to map out more of the rift, they happen to stumble across what appears to be an old megalopolan spacecraft, one james recognizes as it looks similar to the one they had flown together with wolfgang volkov.[break][break]

approaching it, he takes a moment to examine it for parts, eventually finding saved recordings.[break][break]

"there are a few recordings saved in here..."[break][break]

20 excavate or stumble upon an old megalopolan spacecraft or dead celesteela in a crater that has been buried deep underground; in the process, encounter evidence that only ultra beasts used to live here.

without the ZEKROM chasing them, they have more time to explore the ship. fernando glances at its innards in more detail, thumbing through loose panels and various contraptions.

"one sec."[break][break]

while not usually this casual with his boss, james is too occupied with tampering with the recording to care about formalities, his mind focused only on discovery.[break][break]

the recordings are meaningless at first but after a bit of time, he realizes that they're simply reversed.[break][break]

"i will cut you down."[break][break]

he blinks, reading the file name again, "it's from a kartana."[break][break]

and then, a thought.[break][break]

"can ultra beasts speak?"[break][break]

22 reverse a recorded cry/noise from kartana to discover that it says "once again, I have cut a worthless object" or anything related to cutting.
