Another day, another run through the RKS Simulation machine. Zev casually scanned the interior of the butchery, finding everything the same as his last visit. [break][break]

What differed, however, was his partner. Months had passed since his last interaction with , to the point that Zev had forgotten all about him. [break][break]

"Is this your first time in the RKS machine?" the Rocket Beast asked, tilting his head. [break][break]

He assumed someone had given Rhys a rundown before starting up the simulation, so Zev didn't bother launching into an explanation. Instead, he said, "I've done this scenario before. We helped cook the tails, so instead, let's do the opposite now."[break][break]

He crossed his arms over his chest, showing clear disinterest in complying with the virtual butcher's demands. [break][break]

ABSTAIN OR DEFY.

"Yes," Rhys affirmed, expression neutral as he took in the grimy room he found himself in. Though forgettable in most cases, he'd come a long way in the intervening months since Zev had last debriefed him - more focused, less unsure of himself. He'd been told what to expect, but as with so many things, experiencing it directly was a completely different matter.
[break][break]
He blinked, nonplussed, at the impact of the cleaver, glancing to Zev and raising an eyebrow. "Capital idea," he agreed. "Is there a benefit to taking multiple paths on repeated entry, or is one as good as the other?"
[break][break]
It was a simulation, of course, so directing his disdain toward the constructed butcher would be fruitless at best and an utter waste of his energy at worst. Still, he couldn't resist analyzing the scenario: mutilating these pokémon simply for monetary gain was pointless. If you're going to do it, he wanted to snidely comment, do it for something more perpetually worthwhile.
[break][break]
Short-sighted idiots, even in a computer.

Before Zev had the chance to answer Rhys, the butcher shouted and attacked. Zev's fight instinct took over at once. He dodged a swing of the massive cleaver, even as black crystals crawled over his torso beneath his clothing. [break][break]

Before the butcher could recover, Zev took a half-step toward the other man and landed a punch in his ribs. For a simulation, the butcher felt very real. In that moment, Zev forgot where he was. It was either kill or be killed. [break][break]

"Collins! The skillet!" he shouted as he blocked what would have been a grievous blow. [break][break]

Behind the butcher, warming on the stove, was a large cast iron skillet. A man such as Rhys should have no problem swinging it with lethal force at the butcher's head. [break][break]

SURVIVE.

Alien shits? Rhys mouthed the words, repeating the butcher silently as he furrowed his brow, almost catching himself by surprise when the man launched himself at Zev. Maneuvering carefully backward, Rhys began sidestepping around the two other men, now grappling far too nearby for him to be comfortable with not being noticed by the angry chef.
[break][break]
At Zev's shout, Rhys didn't even waste breath to respond, raking his gaze quickly across the countertops and stove until he spotted the skillet in question set above a low flame. Diving for it as Zev punched the other man in the ribs, Rhys grabbed the handle of the iron implement.
[break][break]
Lifting it with both hands, he pulled the skillet back over his shoulder, took aim at the butcher - too involved with trying to slice Zev open to notice the rearward attack - and swung with everything he had. The blow impacted with a sound like Rhys had smashed a melon rather than a man's head, and the butcher instantly went slack, crumpling to the floor.
[break][break]
He stood above the fallen simulation, chest heaving, gripping the skillet tightly in one hand in case once hadn't been enough. It had, he could tell from the angle of the man's neck it had, but...
[break]

SURVIVE.

Zev allowed himself a heavy sigh of relief when the butcher collapsed to the floor at their feet. He gave Rhys a nod of acknowledgement. "Good job." [break][break]

As the simulation melted away, the butchery around them transforming into a building's familiar interior, Zev took the time to answer Rhys' earlier question. [break][break]

"The last time I did a run of that scenario, we chose the option to help with cooking. The result was completely different. This time, by choosing to refuse, we learned that the butcher was in league with the Megalopolans." [break][break]

He spoke as if Rhys should already know his meaning. [break][break]

The next scenario finished forming itself, revealing the shadowy figure of standing within Fuschia City's gym. Zev had heard this speech many times and knew what would happen next. As the Rocket Boss' Nidoking emerged from a Pokéball, so too did Zev's Infernape. [break][break]

Yet he did not give a command. Instead, he looked over at the grunt. "So, Collins. What route should we take for this one?"

Rhys nodded gratefully at the other man - 'good job' might have been the highest praise he'd gotten since enlisting, and even if it was for braining a collection of ones and zeroes in the shape of a man, he'd take it.
[break][break]
Megalopolans? He'd heard of the term, and his excursions into Lesser Megalopolis had provided him with some vestigial knowledge, at least. "What would the Megalopolans want with an AI slowpoke tail hawker, though?" he voiced. A fair question, surely.
[break][break]
As the surroundings changed and shifted, Rhys found that the phenomenon was not nearly as disorienting as his initial entrance into the simulation, though the area being built around them was utterly foreign to him. The man that accosted them at its completion, however, was not - even if he'd only seen him in photos.
[break][break]
"Hell no," Rhys pronounced eloquently.
[break][break]
He released his Reuniclus as a precaution to ward off the Nidoking if it lunged. "Not the Boss, not his creepy shadows, not this samurai-looking funhouse, no. I refuse to believe there is any worthwhile information to be gleaned from this other than seeing how badly I can get my butt handed to me."
[break][break]
Turning in place, he raised his hands and felt the invisible walls around him as he made his way to the door, crouching slightly as a bright flash of pink light behind him signified Oz's attempt at parrying a MEGAHORN from Walsh's Nidoking. "You can take him, and I can support you, but surely there are other options, yeah?"
[break][break]

"The Megalopolans are carnivores. They can eat other food if they want, but meat is their primary diet. And that includes the flesh of humans," Zev explained. [break][break]

But soon the Pokémon battle was in full swing despite Rhys' protests. Walsh summoned his Hypno to fight alongside his Nidoking to even the odds. Rough cries and the sounds of their scuffle filled the chamber. [break][break]

Zev tilted his head, as if weighing the options. "We could just leave. As soon as we approach the doors, the simulation will believe we have lost and it will progress forward." [break][break]

Turning, he gestured to the main doors of the building. [break][break]

"Regardless of what we choose, the end result is the same." Namely, that Fuschia City burned to the ground. "I'll show you what I mean." [break][break]

He began walking toward the exit. His Infernape continued to fight, countering the strikes from Walsh's Pokémon to the best of his ability. However, it soon became clear that the Rocket Boss' team was more experienced. Better trained. [break][break]

Zev ignored the speech he'd heard numerous times before. Instead, he pushed open the door to reveal the conquered city. [break][break]

RECUPERATE.

Rhys nodded distractedly, flinching backward as his Reuniclus narrowly darted in to intercept a strike from the Nidoking, crying out in pain as it rebounded off of a nearby wall. "Ew," he offered in response to the discussion of Megalopolan diets, then turning to make his way around the invisible obstacles to the doors, attempting to follow in Zev's footsteps physically if not metaphorically.
[break][break]
"Let's do that, I don't think we're going to make it far if we stay in the Gym," he huffed, stumbling forward as Zev threw the doors open to reveal the state of the rest of Fuchsia City. He paused in his retreat, gaping, as he took in the destruction taking place around them.
[break][break]
"I knew that Kanto was Rocket's, but seeing it in person...this is incredible," he marveled. "Nobody in their right mind could stand up to us after going through this. Is that what happened to Sootopolis?" he inquired, jogging to catch up to Zev as the surroundings began to shift once again.

"I didn't participate in the Sootopolis takeover," Zev admitted, letting his gaze wander over the burning cityscape. "But considering the brutality on display here, you can imagine how it was then." [break][break]

The backdrop of Fuschia was not meant to remain, however. It melted away as it had dozens, if not hundreds, of times before. In its place, the Alolan cliffside appeared, the ocean pounding away at its base. [break][break]

"This again," Zev mused aloud as he spotted the nearby Xatu. The last time he'd done this scenario, he'd witnessed a strange and confusing vision: him moving out of his Slateport City apartment. He'd dismissed it for ridiculous nonsense, until it had actually come to pass. [break][break]

"What do you want us to see this time?" he challenged the Psychic-type. [break][break]

Rhys couldn't offer more of a response than a silent nod as he surveyed the destruction of Fuchsia City - this display of the past implied that Rocket's methods had only grown more effective over time. A part of him wanted nothing to do with this brand of wholesale devastation, no matter the intent - to demonstrate the futility of standing against Rocket.
[break][break]
Another part of him wanted to ensure, no matter what, that he was part of the next operation that resulted in this. The idea of that level of power was alluring, and its siren song mingled with ambition and frustration at the base of his brain near-constantly.
[break][break]
Catching himself, he bit his lip to forestall further comments as the surroundings shifted smoothly once again, and he found himself on an entirely foreign coast, the beaming sun and salt air utterly at odds with the environment that they had just been thrust into moments prior.
[break][break]
"A Xatu?" he inquired, glancing from the bird to Zev and back. What struggle could a Xatu possibly pose?
