A RUINED CITY IN ULTRA SPACE. It is unclear whether this is a different universe's Ultra Megalopolis or smaller colony. Regardless, it is a dark city with intermittent sections of flickering, artificial light... Large, black prism-like skyscrapers loom above flat black streets. Much ruin has fallen here, but you get the sense that you're not alone...

Oscar whistled as he took in the ruined cityscape, glass cracking under his boots as he leisurely moved forward. "I can see why the Megalopolans left now, this place is fucked." The futuristic wasteland was as beautiful as it was disturbing; it just goes to show that it does not matter how advanced a civilization is, doom can befall them all the same. It was a miracle that Hoenn has lasted as long as it had.

As every one of his steps was announced by cracking glass, Oscar would grow curious and look downward. "Oh shit." He would say with mild amusement. He was not stepping on glass after all, but rather an endless sea of dully colored crystals stuck within the pavement. He bent down to have a closer look, and upon realizing that they were seemingly dead Z-crystals Oscar would let out a harsh chuckle. "Alright this place is beyond fucked. This is some post-Post-apocalypse shit. Really pretty though."

Oscar stood up and dusted his hands off, reluctant to move forward without some input from his companion. He has only worked with fern delaney once long ago, way before his promotion to admin. When the opportunity to work with Mister Delaney reappeared, Oscar was more than a little excited--even if he probably was not the first choice. He knew Fern was looking for something, but he still was not sure what.

"So what's our next step? Do you have a first destination in mind or are we wandering blindly? I'm down for either."

[“Mm.” Fern hummed in agreement. “There are still some around, I think you’ll find.” Their foot kicked away a bit of rubble in their path. Blue eyes cut toward Oscar–mischievous. “Though they’re not exactly in their right minds.” It was a curious place. One that drew Fern in more than other rifts had. Though Fern figured that was to do with the shard that had detonated and opened the doorway.[break][break]
And Tapu Koko.[break][break]
The island deity floated along with them now, restless as it often was whenever they returned.[break][break]
Fern fell into amused quiet as Oscar’s attention deviated. Stooping, they gathered a few of the ineffective z-crystals and offered them to Tapu Koko. They were swiftly rejected–apparently these were not as appealing as the primal shard had been. “There’s always a sort of beauty in destruction, don’t you think?” they ask by way of reply.[break][break]
“Wandering blindly,” they add after a beat as they move forward again. “There’s no real guideline I have. No template. Just looking for what this one reacts to.” Their head nods to their patron.[break][break]
The familiar shape of a z-crystal is splayed across the front of a machine lined up against a shattered storefront. Fern peered curiously at it and then plunked one of the z-crystals they’d been holding into the slot. It promptly spit out a…beverage?[break][break]
“Huh.” Fern bent to collect the bottle, “how ‘bout that.” Cracking the lid, they took a sniff and then glanced Oscar’s way. “Bottoms up?”[break][break]

"Right on." Oscar mused as Fern stated their trajectory. Oscar had no problem with being aimless, that was how he made most of his discoveries. Oscar kept his eyes up for most of the initial trek, trying to get peeks through the windows of the shattered skyscrapers. They were all so dark, as if nothing were inside. Just black holes. It was pretty rad.

Oscar looked to Fern when they made the indication that they were about to drink something. Oscar raised an eyebrow, wandering over to the barely lit vending machine. Just like Fern he would put two and two together about the z crystal slot, and after scrounging for a complete one off the ground Oscar would order a beverage of his own.

Oscar raised the can to his eye level and turned it slowly, unable to read the Megalopolan text that wrapped around it. "I've always wondered what would keep working within our world, after the end. Probably everything but the useful shit." Oscar lifted the drink toward Fern before cracking open the can and having a long drink. He has had worse things travel through his body, this alien drink was nothing.

Except, maybe a little gross. Oscar cringed as he pulled his lips away, setting the can down delicately onto the ground. "Tastes like--lemonade, charjacola, and grape juice. Fuckin' abysmal." No doubt it was some cocktail of Ultra Space fruit and whatever they had instead of sugar. Oscar would pass.

Oscar wandered past the vending machine into a nearby alley way. This empty stretch between buildings was pitch black, with no light able to touch its isolated position. Oscar pulled out an ultra ball, opening it to reveal a former Ultra Space resident: Navitas the Xurkitree. Navitas stretched out its wiry limbs, wrapping them around its master in an affectionate display. Oscar chuckled, "Yo thanks but we're on the clock here. Can I get a light?" Navitas let out a sing-song hum, its head emitting a bright glow that stabbed through the darkness of the alley (Tail Glow).

The alley went deeper than Oscar anticipated, apparently toward an entirely new street where similarly no light could touch. Oscar gestured toward the alley, "Wanna head down here? Could be something cool." Oscar would let Fern lead the way regardless of the path they chose.

Fern’s expression immediately twisted in revulsion at the mouthful of awful, Megolopolan soda. It settled on their tongue, eyes fixing on Oscar who seemed to tolerate it better, despite the distaste that still flickered across his expression. “Bweghh,” they groused after they managed to swallow it down. They smacked their mouth, desperate to be rid of the taste and finding no relief.[break][break]
They were far less delicate in their disposal, however. Rather than set the revolting can down, they swiftly dropped it. Sugary contents splashing up on their boots as the can clanged and tipped on its side, before rolling across the pavement.[break][break]
“How sweet…” Fern remarked, eyeing the Xurkitree as it coddled its trainer, “I’ve not known ultra beasts to be so loving.” Perhaps they simply hadn’t taken the proper time to find out. After all, Tapu Koko—though a separate tier than ultra beast, but still entirely powerful in its own right, could be rather affection in its own, strange way.[break][break]
Not that it was as inclined as Oscar’s pokemon to be so helpful. Occasional sparks flickered off its body, but it did little to light the way—leaving the task to Navitas as they all forged onward toward the center of the city.[break][break]
The pitch that loomed ahead of them was all consuming.[break][break]
Darkness ate up everything in its path. Not so much shadow as it was a tangible blackness. They wondered if Oscar thought they would balk at his suggestion. But of course, that was not the case. It intrigued the admin, and they grinned as they took a few steps forward. “I’m quite interested in cool,” they remarked as they looked back at him.[break][break]
“I’m curious to know if that Xurkitree will manage to light that dark up. It looks like you could swim through it, it’s so thick.”

As Fern noted the unusual density of this darkness, Oscar would keep his eyes on Navitas as they pushed forward into the murky abyss. Navitas's glow seemed to keep their immediate surroundings lit, but beyond that the dark seemed almost physical. A curtain of shadows that only allowed vague silhouettes of whatever awaited them beyond their light.

Oscar shuddered as he tried to make sense of the darkened shapes around them. "Is this the work of Necrozma? I know it can absorb light, but I didn't know it could make darkness." He would have to ask Zev Harcourt the next time he saw him, if he could remember by then. As they wandered down the street, Navitas would begin to sway erratically--as if an unseen force was manipulating its movements.

Thanks to his Ultra Spacesuit, Oscar would be ignorant to the steadily rising wind current. He furrowed his brows, instead believing that his night light was fooling around. "Hey this ain't the time to dance. Get ser--" A harsh gust pushed against Oscar, nearly knocking him to his feet. A yelped as he steadied his footing, looking to Fern to make sure he was alright. "The fuck was that? Felt like the wind shoved me."

Oscar seized up, his eyes widening as he caught a silhouette moving behind Fern. It was huge, slowly lumbering toward them with undaunted purpose. As it got closer, the strength of the wind would increase. Oscar broke free from his fear long enough to warn his companion. "Pick a direction and run as fast as you can!"

Though they relied on the light cast by the Xurkitree, curiosity ruled Fern’s movements. Their phone slipped from their pocket, they waved it outward–interested to see if the electronic glow of the meager light would do anything to penetrate the sheer dark that had crept up around them.[break][break]
“I have to wonder if it might be,” Fern replied thoughtfully, voice dropping to a low hum as their brows knit together in consideration. “Or at the very least, perhaps its influence.” They cast a sidelong gaze at Tapu Koko, only just able to make out the muted shades of orange in the murk. The rest of it blended with the shadow, making it far more difficult to follow.[break][break]
“I’m not sure if this is making darkness so much as the full absence of light.” Their hair tickled at their cheeks, ruffled by a sudden, unexpected breeze. Though Navitas remained bright, their phone began to flicker– the flashlight extinguished itself first and then the phone died entirely. “What in the world…” They turned it over in their hands, perplexed, before they were knocked by the same gust.[break][break]
Eyes wide, they staggered. The heels of their boots clacking against the pavement. “Och,” they complained, attempting to right themself before their gaze found Oscar. “I’ve never experienced that here. What d’you figure–what, what is it?” They broke off as they registered the obvious horror in his expression, and they looked back over their shoulder with wide eyes to see the twist of the umbral cyclone. The closer it got, the darker it grew.[break][break]
They did not have to be told twice. They picked the same direction as the other, but Fern’s feet seemed to kick up more speed. They rode the electric current they produced, blinking out of sight as they traveled far ahead of Oscar. One of their favored blessings of the Tapu in that particular moment. Within seconds they’d shot up a rusted old fire escape, “Hey! Over here!” They called down, frantic, as their eyes darted between Oscar, his Xurkitree, and the cyclone.[break][break]
From above, Tapu Koko pulled down a peal of THUNDER, the electricity near blinding in such pervasive dark. But the pitch just swallowed it up as it crackled and winked out again.

As the cyclone approached, Oscar looked to Fern to plan their next course of action. However, even through the murky darkness Oscar could see that the admin was already gone. Oscar swung his head toward Navitas, "Where did he go!?" Navitas shrugged, and Oscar was pretty such that would be the last thing he saw before being ripped apart by an evil twister.

Luckily Fern had not abandoned Oscar, shouting to get his attention nearby. As soon as Oscar recognized the rusty fire escape, he would begin sprinting toward it. Navitas was not far behind, in fact it would overtake its master and jump to the structure first. It then extended its tendrils, wrapping around Oscar and pulling him up to safety.

Oscar flinched as the Thunder smashed into the cyclone. Oscar looked back, spotting the shape of something massive within it before the light of the lightning strike was sucked inside the storm. As Navitas and Oscar climbed the fire escape, Oscar would shout up his findings.

"Fern! Did you see!? There's something inside the cyclone!"
