"Thanks for coming out here, ■■■." Admin Fox waved a cigarette around before taking a drag. "It's a pleasure."

A lie, but a white one. An order and a threat accomplished the same thing as an invitation and gratitude when admins and beasts played their games of politics. Inviting ■■■ out to the Ancient Tomb had accomplished the same thing as ordering him to appear. Power tasted finest when it was sweetened by courtesy.

Besides, who was Admin Fox to order the Devourer about like a dog?

"Our extraction operations are going well." The admin led him through the Ancient Tomb. Above, cracks of light shined where Ting-Lu had cracked the earth apart last year. Drills bore into walls as grunts and Pokemon carried crates of Dynite Ore and Wishing Stars, their radiating energy wafting to the beast.

"We've just started, so it's a little archaic, but it will improve." It was certainly a step up from the smuggling house in Slateport where Howard and ■■■ first met. "We must be subtle, lest Fortree or Lilycove catch on. A gentle hand, a quiet operation."

Behind them, Regice stood like a silent guardian, its latent Dynergy thrumming.

Zev took a drag of his own cigarette as he surveyed the interior of the Ancient Tomb. Memories of last summer's battle outside its walls came to the fore of his mind. The Ruinous Beasts, Zamazenta's shield, a Pokémon's trickery making his colleagues believe they had been transported back in time… [break][break]

"I've been curious about the bigger Power Spots for some time," he admitted to Howard. Even at ground level, Zev sensed the energy signature of that well of poison deep underground. It called him, a siren song that was taking all of his willpower to resist. [break][break]

His gaze dragged to the floor, to the power that pulsed beneath their feet. "How much Dynite Ore have we been able to extract from the one here?" [break][break]

Just in case, his Hatterene stood at his side, ready to use AROMATHERAPY on him in case he needed it. Not that he expected to.

"Enough." The vague answer was what Howard was willing to dispense. He feared the man next to him, but these silent rebellions were the best he could muster against his colleague. "The issue is not the present supply. It's pulling it from the ground and keeping it for ourselves. We are not the only people to the stuff."

Lilycove and Fortree watched this place, he knew. Rocket could not pull as much as possible due to the eyes of and . Involving the Pokémon Rangers would start a war, and war was bad for business.

"It's why you're here, actually. All the Dynergy swirling around is toxic. How's your resistance to the stuff?"

Another drag of his cigarette as the admin led ■■■ through a complex of tunnels and ruined paths. Dynite Ore thrummed in veins as the two reached a large room with a big stone door, engraved with markings found across the tomb. A team of scientists, engineers, and miners sat talking.

They turned to the duo as they entered, and Howard waved them off.

"There's an issue, see."

The vagueness of Howard's answer would have bothered Zev if the Rocket Beast actually cared. Instead, the growing pulse of Dynergy commanded his attention as the admin led the way farther underground. [break][break]

"My resistance is fine," Zev lied, recalling how ill he'd felt after supping from a Power Spot upon Sootopolitan soil. How he'd had to expel it via laser beam afterward. [break][break]

In the chamber with the large door, he scanned the engravings with a critical gaze. They meant nothing to him, but he acted as if he knew their importance. [break][break]

"Why? What's the issue?"

"Issues. I misspoke." He hadn't, it was just easier to enlist someone's help when they thought they were getting into less than they thought. "Two. One of which, you're gonna hear right about now."

As if on queue, a rumble shook the ruins. A deep roar echoed on the other side of the door, and the beast could, if he cared to, sense a rush of Dynergy associated with a Dynamaxed Pokémon. Dangerous. Destructive. Delicious.

"There's a big vein of Wishing Stars and Dynite Ore behind this door. The Dynergy is toxic, and I'd rather not risk any more men." Howard took a deep drag akin to man trying to drown their senses in a cloud of smoke. He let the smoke trail out from his lips. "Unfortunately, that means Dynamax."

The man smiled without humor.

"I wanted you to drain some of the Dynergy from the room while my men pull out the biggest Wishing Stars. In the meantime, I'll deal with the Dynamaxed Pokémon."

In Howard-speak, that meant he'd sic Regice on it.

Ah. [break][break]

Zev frowned at the door, weighing his options. Howard was not commanding him to act, which was within his power as an admin. He described the problem and suggested a plan, hoping for Zev's cooperation. That alone made him more tolerable in the Rocket Beast's eyes. [break][break]

He knew that if he refused to help, Team Rocket risked losing access to the Dynite Ore and Wishing Stars beyond the door. And though the League had no one in their ranks who could feast upon Dynergy like he could, they would find a way to claim such precious resources if the crime syndicate did not seize the opportunity first. He was certain of that. [break][break]

He was certain, too, that he could handle the Dynergy. When he'd first consumed it months ago, he hadn't known what to expect. Now that he was familiar with the effects on his body, he could control it, surely. [break][break]

Such was Zev's arrogance and folly. [break][break]

"Open the door."

"Gotcha. Thanks for your help." Howard heard howling from the depths of hell.

Howard nodded respectfully, his eye flickering with fear once it was out of ■■■'s gaze. He turned to his men.

"You heard the man. OPEN UP!" When an admin and a beast gave an order, it was obeyed. Men rushed to forklifts and drills and brought out Pokémon capable of tearing into Eternatus's corpse. As they assembled, Howard gave a whistle.

The great stone door opened on ancient hinges that screamed and groaned. Red and violet mist curled forward, causing the admin to instinctively take a step back. From the massive room beyond the stone gate, a Power Spot glimmered with alien power. Wishing Stars and Dynite ore lined a wall to the left. In the middle of the room stood a Dynamaxed Gigalith.

A bastion of defense. Unbreakable. Unmovable. The admin flicked his cigarette to the ground and gestured to his colleague.

"Get busy." Howard gestured at ■■■ as Regice stepped forward to meet this new foe.

The Wishing Stars glimmered with a brilliant light, a primal allure to a devourer.

Though Howard took a step backward when the massive doors groaned open, Zev stood his ground. He was the Devourer, Avatar of Necrozma. Both darkness and light were his domains. All objects within space bent to his will, no matter how great or small. [break][break]

He could not be cowed. Not by this nor anything in all the universes. [break][break]

The Dynergy poured forth in a terrible magenta mist. Zev's crystals emerged as if by instinct, spurred by hunger for the tantalizing nectar before him. Before it could engulf Howard's nervous crew, Zev reached for it with his mind, snatching it from the air and diverting its flow into himself. [break][break]

The Beast's entire body thrummed with power as the Dynergy flooded his system. At first he felt nothing else, but the more he absorbed, the more he felt the effects. Countless staring eyes opened across the walls of the rocky chamber, hallucinations influenced by the essence of Eternatus. Zev's heart rate quickened as he shifted into a state of hyperalertness. [break][break]

Every inch of him was covered in his void-black carapace. Unbeknownst to him, even the cells of his internal organs had converted into the living, alien metal. In the black pits his eyes had become, the cold light of stars swirled. [break][break]

And when he spoke, his voice carried the echo of an alien reverb, notes of Necrozma's terrible roar. [break][break]

"Do it now, Slayte."

When faced with a monster, Howard ran. It was why he had survived so long in a career that was full of hustlers, dangerous ruins, and various threats. To run was to survive. To run was to fight another day. In his nightmares, he ran from black crystals, outpacing them until he woke tired and afraid.

Afraid and alive. The terrors of the night were pushed back by the conscience of wakefulness. To understand and to elucidate was to remove fear and replace it with understanding.

He did not want to understand the man in front of him. He could not. Understanding Necrozma's chosen was to know his name. Howard would never allow himself to hear ■■■'s name again. It was gone, lost to history, and buried beneath mounds of sand. It was a hypocritical action. Archaeologists did not shun from the truth.

Yet this truth? This one, he would shun.

"Go! Help him!" As the Dynergy recoiled, a small army of drills, hammers, and lifts rushed in to extract the valuable ore. Meanwhile, Howard turned to face the Dynamaxed Pokémon alone. A risky venture for one without training, but Howard bridged the gap with remarkable ease.

The knowledge of ancients outweighed the understanding of the living.

"Regice, Dynamax!" Howard shouted as his golem reacted with the Power Spot. Despite the lack of Dynamax Band on his wrist, his Regice began to swell in size until it matched the Gigalith. Latent Dynergy mixed with the energy in this Power Spot, and the golem became more primal as it embraced its true nature.

It was a weapon, built for war.

Regice matched the Gigalith with a Max Hailstorm, blocking the foe's attack as ■■■ drank an unholy toxin.

The titans clashed, Regice versus Gigalith. Their blows sent fractal patterns flying across Zev's vision, imagery that turned into gnashing, bloody fangs and gaping, putrescent wounds. But he had seen it all before. His childhood had been full of blood and viscera, his adulthood rife with war, death, and conquest. The horrors Eternatus conjured did not faze him. [break][break]

And so he continued to drink, channeling Dynergy into his body until the workers hurried from the adjacent chamber with the last of the ore and Wishing Stars. Until the earth-shuddering battle between Dynamaxed Pokémon saw the Gigalith defeated. [break][break]

When the massive doors were shut once more, Zev cut himself off from the Dynergy. He was still for a moment as he struggled to make sense of what was real and what was not. In a distant corner of his mind, he knew that sweat should have broken out on human skin, and his heart should have been hammering from heightened agitation. [break][break]

But instead, he stood like an ancient relic from another world. From another time. He turned to Howard with that star-studded gaze, and when he opened his mouth, words poured out of a fathomless void. [break][break]

"If there's nothing else," said the Devourer, "we are leaving." [break][break]

Back to the surface, where he could release the Dynergy without totally destroying all of Howard's hard work.

The Dynamaxed Gigalith fell with remarkable ease. It did not fall through clever tactics or intrepid command. It fell because it was fighting something completely out of its league.

What lied in the basis of Hoenn's Legendary Giants was the purity of machinery. Something that continued to grapple with as he welded his armada of Genesects together for a war that had yet to come. Regice could only act in a handful of pre-programmed ways. Its intelligence was minimal, and all it had was brought forth by the insight of ancient programmers.

As a result, none of its emotions were genuine. That was why the ancients had sealed it away, Howard surmised.

When the Gigalith's barrier broke, it died due to an overload of Dynergy within its system. As ■■■ and Howard left the room, it reverted to its original size. It did not die. The door screamed shut as the party returned to safety.

No Dynamax Band gleamed on the admin's wrist.

"You did well." The admin's voice was even, but he paled at the walking nightmare standing next to him, leaking power. A new nightmare would greet him when he fell into slumber today. Another addition to the menagerie of shades clawing at Howard's consciousness.

We.

"Take my Claydol. It can teleport you." He didn't know how ■■■'s power worked, but Howard was cautious. Meticulous. He wanted the beast gone. "To the surface, at least."

A statement, not a request.
