Unown-N, nicknamed Namey by a man who wouldn’t know creativity if it shot him, floats expectantly. When he said he had a message for The Visionary, it looked at him with singular recognition. Namey’s usual whimsy is replaced by unblinking focus. Never, in the month since Navy caught the Unown, has it acted so seriously.[break][break]
“Uh…hey.” His words are punctuated by a wave, unsure of whether this Visionary will see the message or simply hear its content. “It’s me. Navy. Uh – Sheriff Navidson. Wanna talk to you. My people won’t know about it. Prefer if your people don’t know about it either, but that’s on you. There’s a little island just north of the one that sunk. I’ll be waiting there every night between ten and eleven for the next two weeks.”[break][break]
He trusts her. He trusts her because she looked him in the eyes and said they weren’t enemies. She could have told him anything in the world, but she utterly disarmed him with those simple words. So, he goes every night. He waits patiently by a fire amidst the falling snow. Voyager, his Arcanine, is curled in front of a log. Navy leans against him for warmth, the legendary Pokemon’s internal fire organ blisteringly warm.[break][break]
Eventually, Namey begins floating up and down excitedly. Something is coming. Navy doesn’t stir.[break][break]
“Yo.” He speaks the word with nonchalance. “Glad you decided to come. Sorry ‘bout the meeting place. Pretty much the only places I can guarantee I’m not being spied on are here and in Eternatus’s guts.” A brief pause, accompanied by dry laughter. “They don’t tell you that you’re signing up to be spied on when you sign the AQUA contract. Gotta infer it.”

The rift opened and the Visionary stepped out onto a small, discrete island north of Dewford, trailed by her constant companion, the shiny Unown-K called Kallistatus. She'd had her fill of mysterious islands, but this one seemed rather innocuous - save for the man who stood a few feet away, waiting patiently for her.[break][break]
She hadn't made him wait too long, only one week out of the two he said he would tolerate. She hadn't meant to keep him: she was merely busy, juggling each one of her new contacts in an intricate dance she didn't entirely know all the steps to. She was a scientist, not a diplomatic, but fate had made her a prophet all the same. So she flitted from one potential ally to the next, trying her best to make a difference.[break][break]
"Good evening," she greeted Michael Navidson. She'd obscured her face with the same simple scarf-like mask she'd worn during their initial altercation, pink hair tied up beneath a winter hat. It was cold here, the grey sky above promising snow while waves crashed against a lonely shore.[break][break]
Kallistatus drifted over to Namey. It bobbed up and down, its own introduction. Nomi smiled behind the mask. Namey had been a dutiful messenger; each and every Unown had a place in her heart, no matter who they served - so long as it wasn't the Triad.[break][break]
His admission didn't surprise her. The League government wasn't a collection of altruistic saints no more than Rocket was made up of only monsters.[break][break]
"Of course they don't tell you," Nomi shrugged. "It's one of many ways any competent governing body ensures compliance amongst its subjects." Her tone was matter-of-fact, the voice of a neutral observer. "But if you fear spies, even here, I can take us somewhere more private - somewhere nobody else can go. If you wish."

“Yet another thing wrong with my governing body.” Dahlia Goode’s most ardent soldier says in a dry voice. “Even if I get why they do it.” Certain elements within the League saw fit to elucidate their worst qualities to him. It shows him the necessity of such things, and why it’s bad to put absolute faith in anyone.[break][break]
Ironic, as he stands up and chooses to place his faith in her. With a nod, he drops his cigar to the ground, stomps it out. Wherever she intends to take him, he can imagine a big neon no smoking sign, whether it sits in this world or one far away. Glancing to his side, he sees Namey bobbing up and down, happy for the company of its own kin. Everything longs for the company of its own, Pokemon most of all.[break][break]
“Sure. I’ll go with you. Arceus knows wherever it is, it’s gotta be warmer than Hoenn in December.” Winter isn’t even here, not fully yet, and it’s already this cold.[break][break]
His mind turns to all the ways this could go wrong. She could be walking him into an ambush or dropping him off in empty space. Her powers are a mystery to him, and as a rule avatars make him wary.[break][break]
My enemy? No, you aren’t my enemy. My enemy is the DRK Triad.[break][break]
Even if placing his faith in her over thirteen words is foolish, he does so. She might just be the one person with the clarity to see.[break][break]
“So,” he begins by asking a simple question, “what do you know about Eternatus?”[break][break]
Voyager sees fit to making the matter of answering any questions difficult. Arcanine and other dog Pokemon are quick to make judgments on people. Whoever this woman is, beneath the mask, Voyager adores her. Trotting up, faster than his owner, he gives a happy yip and wags his tail. Matters of cosmic importance prove secondary to Voyager’s loud, bold declaration that the Visionary is his friend, and his demand for attention.

He was so trusting.[break][break]
She both admired it and found it foolish. Nomi, too, was taking a risk - but of the two of them, she had the power advantage. He knew only a fraction of what she was capable of, and yet, he accepted her offer to be taken elsewhere without an ounce of hesitance. Could he even begin to comprehend what she was about to do? Could he guess? She eyed him thoughtfully, wondering if one so willing to take such a leap would make for a good ally - or merely a liability - in the war to come.[break][break]
He saved Elisabeth Fiorelli's life, she remembered suddenly. The Underboss resented Nomi, and yet, she felt she owed this man for that particular act of kindness. Another stupid decision on his part, perhaps. Elisabeth would be a danger to men like him as long as she lived.[break][break]
But Nomi had been glad to collect her, all the same. Glad to bring her home.[break][break]
"This will only take a moment," was all the warning she gave him. As he began to ask a question, she approached and lightly touched his arm. When she did so, the world spiraled and shifted, a vortex of spatial displacement pulling them both, and their Pokemon, away. Into the Unown Dimension.[break][break]

[break]
She smiled up at the myriad of Unown dancing above them, swirling back and forth in a rhythmic pattern. Thousands of starry galaxies winked down upon them, a purple-blue-pink sky of infinite possibility expanding outwards in all directions.[break][break]
"Eternatus?" She asked curiously, turning to regard Michael Navidson. Her body language was relaxed, her eyes calm, as if she had not just transported them to an entirely different realm of existence. "I know that it is dangerous." She paused. There was a lot to be said about such a creature. It was the enemy of Necrozma, if their experiences in the memory (dream?) of Galar were to be believed, which did not necessarily bode well for Rocket. "Why do you ask?"

He has never felt more out of his depth. Not in Galar, not when Ultra Beasts raged across the region, not when Rocket attacked in Slateport. All of those events existed within the confines of reality, following a thread that even a simple man could understand. Above him are galaxies, nebula, a thousand eyes looking down upon him.[break][break]
It is like he is looking at the edge of reality, its seams, where the proverbial sausage gets made. This is not a sight for him, but here he is. Some thought tells him that she could leave, leave him here. If the Unown didn’t overwhelm him with sheer numbers, then starvation would kill him within a month, thirst within days.[break][break]
But he chooses to have faith. Win or lose, this war will end. Unseen enemies lurk in the shadow. She had the eyes to see through the fog beyond the battlefield. He will trust her, even if it makes him a fool. If they fall to distrust that deep, then they have all lost.[break][break]
Somehow, he manages to break away, turn to look at her. He looks the part of a starstruck street kid, not a man with a soul aged fifty years and a body over thirty.[break][break]
“I—” He has to compose himself across the span of one word. “…I remember what you said. You only have one real enemy. The Dark Triad.” A repetition of her words, spoken with conviction and admiration for her certainty.[break][break]
“Eternatus is my enemy. He sleeps by my town, in the cave.” Perhaps it is simply too small for her, this matter of one corroded universe versus the fate of many. “I don’t hate any of you. Rocket. I hate the org, for what it did to my brother, but…” He stops himself.[break][break]
“…this isn’t about me. If these Dark Triad guys are as dangerous as everyone says, and I’m more than willing to believe they are, Eternatus is a part of their plans. So…I want your help, and I wanna help you. All I can give you’s two fists, some mean Pokemon, and a bunch of questions thrown at the wall. But it's yours. I don’t want this war to end with Eternatus or the Dark Triad killing everyone we love.”

He sleeps by my town, in the cave.[break][break]
They were ominous words. She knew that the Ultra Deep Sea was some sort of...extension of Eternatus, but the League seemed to have uncovered more information regarding the details of its nature than Rocket had. She'd been meaning to look into it, but there'd been several competing priorities.[break][break]
"What are you afraid of, exactly?" She asked softly. What did he know about Eternatus that she did not? "That it will attack Dewford at the behest of the DRK Triad?"[break][break]
Thus far, the beast seemed to be slumbering - or in some similarly dormant state. There were more immediate dangers, from her perspective, but if he had evidence of the DRK Triad's meddling...[break][break]
She had discussed the possibility of the DRK Traid attempting to harness the power of Eternatus with howard slayte, but the more interesting fact she had gleaned from that exchange had been the origins of his Regice: it had been born out of one of Eternatus's ribs. Where were the other automatons? Could someone like Michael Navidson help her find the others...? His loyalty to her cause was a thing she ought to take advantage of. Could she use it to help Rocket without perpetuating the faction conflict? Ultimately, doing so would keep more legendaries out of the DRK Triad's hands.[break][break]
Because he was right about one thing: the League was not her enemy.[break][break]
"There is something you can do, perhaps," she decided, thoughtful. "I cannot be everywhere at once, contrary to what some might think. I can have my Unown watch over the Ultra Deep Sea, keep an eye out for DRK Triad activity. But I have reason to believe there are other Pokemon - fragments of Eternatus - that we ought to find before the DRK Triad can, as well. Perhaps you can look for them."

“Regirock?” He asks her, the visionary’s words filling in blanks in his mind. The RKS system was and remains a blessing. It gives them eyes to see, even if someone from on high uses it to thread their own narrative for the hapless denizens of Hoenn.[break][break]
“Saw it in this simulated universe the League has. People in a desert building a Pokemon with one of those…weird balls that look like Him.” He tries his best, putting the pieces together in his mind. “The location matches up to where kyle lopez and everyone else fought Regirock.” A memory comes unbidden, of his brother yelling at him to go help Kyle.[break][break]
He could die, Navy! The League needs help! You’re a hero, why aren’t you helping?[break][break]
“…I can do that. Last I heard, the League has some of its fragments. Got a guy I can get to help out on the case. He’s trustworthy.” Navy doesn’t know that howard slayte is already on the hunt for the same Pokemon, or that the man is an admin of Team Rocket. He simply knows that Howard’s the best archaeologist he’s ever met. Also the only archaeologist he’s ever met, but that’s besides the point.[break][break]
“As for what I think the Dark Triad’s plan with Eternatus is? Dynamax comes from Eternatus. Dunno if you got caught up in the mess at the Ancient Tomb, but it’s obvious to me from what I saw in the dream Galar. Think it…poisons the land. All these power spots are popping up all over Hoenn like pimples.” The words grow grim as he carries on, worried for the safety of those under his care.[break][break]
“Think they know we’ll use them to fight each other. Your side knows it’ll give ‘em an advantage, mine says they have no other choice. It’s an arms race. I call it a race to the bottom. The land will get poisoned. He’ll wake up. Either He’ll force Himself through a wormhole, or He’ll fly to our world.” A small pause. It’s stressful subject matter. He lights up a cigar for his nerves.[break][break]
“Even someone like me knows that poison spreads. That’s what makes it poison. I’ll take all the help you can give me in the Deep Sea. Arceus knows the Nihilego get weirder and weirder every day.”

The simulated universe the League has.[break][break]
This was news to Nomi - important news. There was more than one RKS machine, then? Or rather, the League had somehow built a device capable of creating simulations of a similar nature. For she, too, had seen Regirock in Rocket's virtual world.[break][break]
Something else occurred to her then - a blinding flash of intuition, a lightning strike of inspiration.[break][break]
"Do you happen to know if there is a...book, powering the League's simulated universe? It would be a very archaic book, with symbols on the cover that don't make much sense. Inside, stories of Galar..."[break][break]
She trailed off, realizing she might be overwhelming him with a sudden outburst of seemingly unrelated information. She focused on the topic at hand once more, weighing his foreboding words.[break][break]
"Yes, I was at the Ancient Tomb."[break][break]
Twenty years. So, he'd been there to. They all had - everyone who had fought that day. She had not seen him in Circhester, so he must have been transported to a different city.[break][break]
"Your conclusion is logical," she nodded. Dyna energy is a volatile substance, a power we barely understand. What we do know, is that it is extremely dangerous. The devastation has the potential to be insurmountable."[break][break]
Her tone was clinical, detached, but if he were looking closely, he would see a mote of fear in her crimson eyes.[break][break]
"It would certainly align with their behavior thus far, for the DRK Triad to simply wait for us to destroy ourselves - allow us to enact their own plan for them. This only further emphasizes the point I have been trying to make for weeks now: the faction conflict needs to end. Or - at the very least - be put on pause."[break][break]
She sighed, and for a moment, the Visionary wasn't some all-seeing prophetess. She was just a woman, worried for her loved ones.[break][break]
"I am afraid we are running out of time."

Her words make him puff the cigar like a dragon, readying to bellow its flames. Talk of the end-times is stressful with mad street prophets, much less a woman who knows what she’s talking about. The sun might well set on their region if they do not play their hands carefully.[break][break]
“We’ve been running out of time since Slateport.” He remembers that day well, the fear he felt. It was the first time it felt like he was living through an apocalyptic event. Seized by that fear, he ran, and in so doing, saved his life and that of his brother.[break][break]
“The hourglass must be getting mighty empty.” Navy prays the dread he feels doesn’t show in his voice. If they give in to fear at this critical juncture, they are lost. Focusing on her question, he tries to carve a path for them to navigate these seemingly impossible circumstances.[break][break]
“There was a book, yeah. A red one. Uh…what did the eggheads call it?” Raking through his brain, he pulls up the answer. “The Scarlet Book. We found it during the AQUA meeting last summer. A tera cave opened up right under Callan Young’s Elite Four chamber. We found this monster down there, like Isaac’s Suicune had a baby with a Tyrantrum. It was guarding the book. Tried to grab it with my Cyclizar. After I did that, it had a dragon on the cover that looked like Lizzy.” A moment’s pause while he inhales, gathers his thoughts, and looks at the galaxy of Unown all around them.[break][break]
“Can’t tell you more. PENELOPE LIVY and MATIAS SILPH decided to have a race. See who could blow up the book quicker. Only reason we know anything ‘bout its contents is ‘cause kyle lopez had a Smeargle reverse time on the book.” Reaching into a satchel he always keeps on him, Navy pulls out a folded piece of paper. It’s a copy of the original, which was taken by AQUA. Inside is a remnant of the book.[break][break]

...time's relentless flow,[break]
Our heroes evolved, their knowledge and strength did grow....[break]
...the power to dynamax,[break]
Harnessing cosmic energy, one birthed from the primordial past.

[break][break]
“I think there’s all kinds of clues in the simulated universe. Hmm.” An idea spawns in his head. “Can you see through Namey? I could show you what our book simulates.”

Nomi's heart-rate sped up with excitement. She did her best to remain calm, but her mind began to race with the thrill of epiphany.[break][break]
Nearly the exact same thing had happened to the League's leaders as had happened to Rocket's. A strange Tera-powered phenomenon in a cave had led to the discovery of a strange book. The details differed, but the results had been the same: Two books, one scarlet and one violet, manifesting out of the energy of infinite possibility that also seemed to be connected to the paradox Pokemon.[break][break]
She filed away the other, smaller revelations: a new paradox, perhaps legendary? A Smeargle that could reverse time? She'd deal with those later.[break][break]
She took the paper, stared down at it with eager crimson eyes. She memorized its contents, immediately recognizing the patterns present in the poetry. Rocket's book had also spoken of Dynamaxing. She and Amor Rose had attempted to test it at a power spot, but nothing had happened. They'd later realized that its nature was more relevant to the RKS Machine, capable of simulating entirely new scenarios than the ones the Seal Stone had first revealed.[break][break]
"I would very much like to see what your simulated universe is capable of," Nomi agreed, finally, looking back up once more to meet Navy's gaze. "I can see through the eye of any Unown, but I'm not entirely sure if my powers will work inside of the machine. We can certainly try."[break][break]
Once more, she felt astounded by the level of trust this man was placing in her.[break][break]
"You really do believe me, don't you," she murmured. "You could be imprisoned by your superiors for aiding a Rocket Avatar." She cocked her head, a lock of pink hair spilling over one shoulder. "But you understand, don't you. You know we have no other choice. You know that the survival of this world depends on an alliance between Rocket and League."[break][break]
She wished they all did. She would do whatever it took to convince them.

“I want to believe in you.” He says with pained urgency. “I want to believe we can work together. There’s gonna be a day when League and Rocket will settle their scores. There’s people on both sides who’ve hurt the other too much. There’s rotten people on your side, people I won’t ever agree with. My own government protects monsters ‘cause they’ve got gods on their side, and we’re scared of ‘em.” He speaks, of course, of MATIAS SILPH. Never for an instant does he think Matias is the only one that could be pushed down that path. Avatarship is a poisoned chalice. It offers power, but nothing in life comes free.[break][break]
“…but there’s so many people in this region who don’t give a good Arceus damn about any of that. Pardon my Kalosian.” He flicks his cigar into the void, for this subject is its own well of strength. “I don’t like bullies, Miss. Dark Triad…Eternatus…hell, even the people up top on both sides. That’s all they really are. They see the big picture. They see the world they wanna see. They forget ‘bout all the people just living their lives. Those folk don’t know the first thing about any of this crap. I’ll protect those people. I’ll protect ‘em from Rocket, from their own, and from monsters I don’t even understand.”[break][break]
No god has blessed him. No god ever will bless him. All he has is the strength in his arms and a brain too stupid to stop when it died half a mile back up the road. It’s enough.[break][break]
“If we stop believing in each other, we’ve lost.” He offers her his hand. Some might call it an empty gesture. Rocket is defined by its propaganda. These people, he knows, are liars. She could just tell him whatever he wants to hear – yet he refuses to accept she will do that.

She gazed down at his offered hand. It was a relatively empty gesture, considering he had already agreed to help her, but she supposed the ritual of it couldn't hurt.[break][break]
So she took it, and for a moment, they stood there, an infinite expanse of galaxies staring down at them: two unlikely allies.[break][break]
"I am a woman of science," she told him, voice soft, a measure of vulnerability revealed as a token of trust. "I rely on logic and facts to dictate my choices. But you are right: without belief - without conviction - we will fail."[break][break]
As she held onto him, she called upon the power of her Unown. In an instant, they were standing back on solid ground, heralded by the sound of waves crashing against the shore. The incoming sea breeze blew back her pink hair, and she breathed in deep, allowing the salt to tickle her nostrils.[break][break]
"So we need to believe that it is possible to save our world." She glanced at Kallistatus. "The Unown have already taught me a thing or two about defying the improbable."[break][break]
She smiled, though it was twinged with a lonely grief - for it was never an easy thing, to carry such weight: the fate of existence was far too much for one person to bear.[break][break]
So, she would share it. One ally at a time.[break][break]
"Your Unown will know how to find me," she said, sensing their meeting was coming to an end. They could not linger here, just as they could not linger in the Unown Dimension: lest they become perceived.[break][break]
"I will conduct some tests within the Rocket RKS Machine, to ensure all of my powers work inside of it. Then perhaps you can take me inside of yours, via your Unown."[break][break]
She paused, before turning to face the ocean, preparing to teleport back to the Rocket submarine.[break][break]
"Try not to die, Michael Navidson."
