Her eyes were positively sparkling when she regarded the ancient structure in the midst of its construction; seeing them in their full glory in the present day was one thing, but seeing them actually being constructed in front of her own eyes... that was a whole different feeling. She knew her parents would have loved this, had they had the chance to live through one of these simulations.

[break][break]
Being able to talk to the people has her stoked, yet their reply immediately tempers her excitement into something more cautious. "Harnessing the power from outer space... why does that sound like trouble waiting to happen?" she meets Gwyar's eyes with a frown as they make their way down the tomb. When they enter the main room holding the glowing purple material, alongside a series of boulders, Brynn's sigh is long and audible.


[break][break]
"Don't they say 'problems always come in pairs'? Leaving seems like the right option, still... I just can't help but wonder..." The Unovan murmurs, wandering closer to the boulders, gently reaching out to further inspect them. "What's the use of these? I mean, the glowing purple thing seems quite obviously that power source they're trying to harness. And there's no money in the world that'll get me to touch it. No sir." she shakes her head, further empathising her dislike of the glowing item.

When the voice resonated, calling her to stop l, she should have known. But as they say, curiosity killed the cat… or the girl. Nearly.

[break][break]
Gwyar Wledig's reflexes proved stronger than hers; his hand already reaching for her arm and pulling her back, out of harm's way.

[break][break]
The abomination that resembled a Regirock, created from the boulders she'd touched only moments prior, continued its rampage. Uncaring of those inside it started thrashing at the walls, tearing down years and years of hard work in its fit of rage, forcing those inside to flee lest they wished to be buried alive.

[break][break]
Running for her life alongside Gwyar Wledig , the exit seemed in sight; the sudden light as they burst out the tomb blinding them. Yet when her eyes grew used to the new intensity, everything had changed. The scent of smoke and sulfur stung in her nose, ancient Hoenn having been replaced by the insides of a tatami-styled gym arena. The face before her one she'd only seen in news articles.

[break][break]
Declan Walsh.

[break][break]
"Fuschia has already fallen. nothing you accomplish here will be of any worth."

[break][break]
What little the windows allow her to perceive make it a believable tale; there is in fact little they can do. Except face and beat the one who made it happen. She looks at Gwyar for guidance, knowing fully well what his decision will be-- one of the few feelings that persisted even after the memories of alternate Galar had started fading. Together she was sure they could beat the Rocket boss before them.

[break][break]
When she finds herself bumping into an invisible wall she suddenly realises why Walsh seems so increasingly cocky; he knows about invisible maze they find themselves in. Her hands find and knock on the surface a few time as he taunts them further. And then there's not one, but many of the same. Copies of Walsh spread throughout the gym.

[break][break]
"Do we split up?" she asks Gwyar while calling her shiny Zorua to her side, its blue-tipped head flicking back and forth between the twosome before perking its head and waiting for orders-- or an oncoming attack.

Walsh goes down far faster than she'd anticipated. She writes it up to Gwyar's skills, and his continued rerun of this particular simulation. Brynn notices in the way he checks everything, and although she takes a look around herself, she soon enough finds herself following in Gwyar's footsteps as he checks Walsh's belongings in full.

[break][break]
There's little she can do with the information as compared to Gwyar, but she takes it in anyway. Every little bit counts, no?

[break][break]
Although the chances of her ever facing the Rocket boss are smaller than getting struck by lightning.

[break][break]
Eventually the scenery fades, dull colors and the sharp scent of fire makes way for lush fields and strong sweet scents. When she gazes upon the Dyna tree, Brynn finds herself catapulted back to memories of the other Dyna trees. This one remains untouched by civilization's hands. A pinnacle of nature's strength.

[break][break]
She's still too busy gawking at the tree's beauty when he cuts down one of the Dyna fruits, the large fruit startling her with a soft yelp. "Sweet Arceus-!" Glancing over at Gwyar, she cocks an eyebrow and grins. "Just a little bit hungry, aren't we?"

[break][break]
Now she gives it some thought her stomach too starts to grumble. How long have they been in this simulation that hunger starts to toy with them? Is the feeling also simulated, or does that remain native to their bodies even when they're engrossed in the simulations? A question for another time, perhaps. Because that Dyna fruit looks awfully enticing... and certainly worth a bite or two.

[break][break]
Or three.

[break][break]
Maybe more.
