Beneath the ice fields, the chasm wwas almost sweltering. Ice quickly gave way to almost tropical trees. Frozen icicles were now washed away by the roar of nearby waterfall. “Damn, Yakky.” Madd’s voice is punctuated by a whistle. Or, at least, her best approximation of one.

She’d never gotten the hang of it. “Look at this place.” Sure, that pamphlet made it sound dangerous. Like some sort of time travel horror flick. But, from here, it looked unspoiled. The kind of place an environmentalist dreamed of.

But that idealistic impression ended pretty quick. There was already trash blowing through the long grass. “People suck.” She picked up what seemed to be a discarded chip bag before letting it drop back to the floor. There wasn’t exactly anywhere to put it.

Sure, she didn’t want to work for Rocket anymore, but who could turn down a paycheck like that? It wasn’t like she was actually doing anything immoral. She was just grabbing some plant samples for the scaredy cats in research. And, unless it was poisoning someone with salad, she doubted it’d end up being dangerous.

A bush nearby caught her eye. Pulling up her phone, she swiped through the provided pictures again. “I think this is one of them.” She paused as she noticed the thorns. “Hold it still for me.” After the Obstagoon did so, Madd moved forward with a pair of mini snips.

Somewhere far away, a prehistoric creature howls. It is a land displaced from the proper flow of causality. Time moves slower than it should. They exist in a land marching to the beat of its own drum. Here, old world orders reign even as robots battle for supremacy.[break][break]
It’s a bad assignment for a man already chronically overworked. Although expeditions into the crater have died down since March, both League and Rocket still endeavor to mine the area for intel and resources. There is always a need to know more, to have more. Much and more can be gleaned in the light of tera crystals.[break][break]
Navy’s presence serves to keep monsters away from League checkpoints. He has made himself a part of the ecosystem. Creatures understand it is more trouble to deal with him than it is worth. There is easier prey in other parts of the crater. He has fought the worst this place has to offer and lived to tell the tale alongside his retinue of Pokemon.[break][break]
So, when he stumbles across one lone girl taking flower samples, he blinks. Navy cuts a dashing figure atop his Rapidash, its mane of silver flame blowing in an imperceptible wind. Pulling up on the reins, his horse stops.[break][break]
Ma’am, it’s dangerous out here---” His warning is stopped by recognition. “Ms. Mckenna? What in the world are you doing here? How’d the League rope you into volunteering for this gig?

If she’d heard herself described as a flower girl, Madd might have laughed. That descriptor sounded like her dad’s dream and her nightmare. It kind of sucked. If he hadn’t pushed her toward everything feminine, she might have come to appreciate it. Now, however, those things were forever soured. The sight of a child’s sundress made her shiver.

In her bag was a medley of bottles. While most of these are empty when Navy arrives, there are a few filled ones. These are labeled in a surprisingly graceful cursive script. Though the scientific names do not mean much to her, she’s copied them over without typos. As Navy approaches, the Obstagoon at her side jerks his head up. “Staaa!” He drops a meaty paw on her shoulder. He then shakes her back and forth like a dashboard hula dancer. "Yakky!" He stops. With a blink, she jerks her head in the indicated direction.

For a second, she’s dazzled by the sight of a sheriff on a Rapidash. The thing glimmers with almost mercurial silver flames. But, then, there’s an awkward fumble as she drops the bottle she’d been working on. With the pony here, the guy felt way more like a Wild West official. And, she was a criminal. One who now knew what she’d done to the guy.

It takes her a minute to shake off that awkward feeling. The League? She laughs as she drops the bottle into her bag. “The fact that it’s not volunteering.” She was getting paid a good amount for plants. Enough that the danger of the place was written off. “I don’t really have time to work for free.” Except for BINGO at the old folk’s home once a month. But that was entertainment. “And, if I’m being honest, both sides suck.” Maybe that’d throw him off of asking too many questions.

Diehard Leaguers tended to jump on soap boxes at the first hint of aspersion.

He looks down on her with a passive expression, listening to what she has to say. It makes him smile. She speaks many truths.[break][break]
Oh yes they do. Try being up at Ever Grande all the time. You put that many big egos in a room and it turns into a mess.” Navy dreads the next AQUA assembly, knowing that he will be called to argue with many of those ego. The notion eats him up with dread, but he has a terribly hard time being anything but honest about what he thinks is best.[break][break]
Hope the League’s paying you good for this. Usually, we’d send more folk out to help with sample collections.” One person, out by themselves in this mess? It makes him wonder who authorized this. The notion of the woman he’s speaking with lying to him never crosses his mind, not even for an instant. With so many windmills masquerading as giants, it’s easy to miss the thief slipping in to steal some grain.[break][break]
Would you mind if I help you? There’s…there’s lots of trouble here in the crater.” As if to accentuate his point, some distant monster chooses that precise moment to roar across the chasm. It sends a flock of Rookidee flying up, running away from trouble. No dragon makes its presence further known, but the cry serves as warning enough.[break][break]
There’s trouble about, trouble all around them. Living paradoxes thirst for the blood of those born in their proper time.[break][break]
If you ask me…being here’s like playing with fire. Wish Walsh and the council could both see that.
