CHOP OR COOK THE TAILS

[break]

BARNABY FINCH had no qualms using his culinary skills here, in this simulated depiction of an all-too familiar crime.[break][break]

"I hear these are quite the delicacy in some regions." But highly illegal in most, if not all. Still, the allure of the unobtainable and the rare was a consistent theme of the human condition.[break][break]

The admin lowered a SLOWPOKE tail into a large stew pot. From a grimy counter above the stove some stale-looking spices and herbs were also added, then a few sliced onions, shaved carrots, and other aromatics.

the journalist. she knew little of him, as she knew little of dirty kitchens, and angry chefs (at least ones yelling at her).[break][break]

she did, however, know a thing or two about butchery, picked up along the way. though her familiarity with the anatomy of a slowpoke was quite lacking, she took a knife, picked a spot, and chopped down with roughly enough force and confidence to look like she knew what she was doing.[break][break]

”not sure i’ve ever had it before.” she looked at the nearly severed pieces, made one more decisive chop, and held up a tail.[break][break]

the harmonious aroma of onions, carrots, herbs, and spices hit her nose, prompting her to comment, ”that smells nice.” she did not cook–not even in the loosest meaning of the word. it was wizardry.[break][break]

"Thank you," He replied with a small smile, but soon turned back to ruminate on his creation.[break][break]

"Hmm. I wonder if taste can even be properly simulated..." Intricacy of flavors seemed like it would be such a difficult thing to replicate in a space like this.[break][break]

They had time before this particular route faded into the next. Why not try it out?[break][break]

"Hm. Interesting." Barnaby mused after filling a bowl with his SLOWPOKE stew and taking a spoonful for himself.[break][break]

"Want a bite?"

”sure.”[break][break]

she watched the tail go into pot. when her eyes returned, the slowpoke she’d chopped it from stared back, causing her shoulders to jump and drawing a quiet curse under her breath.[break][break]

the chef on his way out and the gawking slowpoke were ignored when barnaby proposed an intriguing experiment.[break][break]

”i’ve never thought to try…”[break][break]

taking a spoon, she tasted it for herself and smiled. ”it’s good,” she complimented – and it was exciting that it tasted like anything at all.[break][break]

DIVE INTO THE LAKE

[break]

They shared a small moment of peace before the simulation shifted to the next.[break][break]

Soon enough the pair of ROCKETs found themselves on the shore of a strange lake, in the company of an even stranger Pokémon. A SHADOW PERSIAN? Here? Why?[break][break]

These were passing thoughts that barely clung to Barnaby's withering interest. Instead, his focus was forward, staring at the dark depths before him.[break][break]

He did not have the willpower to resist the pull of the water.[break][break]

"What's down there? What's the simulation trying to show us?"[break][break]

We need to find out.[break][break]

He took one step into the lake, then another, before finally diving below the surface.

withered crystablooms felt like an omen. had they died here from necrozma’s hunger as well?[break][break]

her eyes found the shadow persian – another clue that lined up with the beast’s presence.[break][break]

”it’s not dead yet,” she noted after taking a closer look. ”i wonder if necrozma is here too...”[break][break]

she soon joined him near the water, noting it looked remarkably still, with no ripples from the kisses of fish, or any other signs of life.[break][break]

”giant beast that eats us or portal to another dimension – calling it,” she deadpanned before taking a big breath and diving under.[break][break]

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]You dive into the lake with or without your Pokemon. The water is cold. Dark. Curiously, the body of water is devoid of Pokemon. You don't know why, but you attempt to swim deeper and deeper, the pressure in your ears building with every threshold of depth crossed.[break][break]

Your lungs grow tight. Your thinking grows hazy. However, at the bottom of the lake, you see a small sprite-like form: Azelf. The Being of Willpower remains suspended in the depths of this lake, nursing its injuries. However, its body is limp. Its eyes are closed. It does not stir.[break][break]

DROWN

[break]

Lulu Flint was wrong on both counts.[break][break]

There was no giant beast, no gaping portal, but a small, slumbering Pokémon.[break][break]

AZELF.[break][break]

BARNABY FINCH remembered AZELF. He remembered its cracked and disintegrating red jewel, the way its blood seeped from ragged claw marks, how it glared at those that attempted to help but who'd ultimately failed it.[break][break]

He remembered the suffocating feeling brought on by thoughts of that day, too. It was similar to how he felt now, choking on water at the bottom of the lake. He pivoted to catch a glimpse of Lulu Flint before it all went dark.

azelf was unfamiliar to her, though she’d seen depictions of it enough to identify it as it lied sleeping on the lake floor: the missing guardian.[break][break]

where is this place? she wondered.[break][break]

her eyes met those of admin bee before she felt burn of water in her lungs, and the panic that faded into the strange peacefulness that lingers at the edge of death.[break][break]

though she’d dreamt of impossibly vast, open water, she had never experienced the sensations of drowning. now, she better understood her brother Cillian Quinn’s fear.[break][break]

Forward and behind is an infinite staircase, transparent in its design, hanging within an inky void. They were somewhere along its length, stuck in a limbo between answers and further questions.[break][break]

“Now doesn’t this look familiar?” He commented, looking over to make eye contact with Lulu Flint.[break][break]
