the incident in the giant chasm wasn't mentioned when entered the simulation room. her greeting was short, with no further  extension of warmth or gratitude. there was only a robotic focus about the research to be done that day.[break][break]

the room became the ruins of alph. perfect, if only for conversation. the unown sang eerily from deeper within.[break][break]

”they’re supposedly on our side now, but i’ve yet to hear the answers i’d hoped that alliance would offer.”[break][break]

recently, she’d found a greater confidence that if the unown were planning something, they would be inevitably crushed under the foot of rocket’s growing power, and that would be that.[break][break]

standing firm, she took a deep breath in of the ancient air, feeling every tug on her psyche to venture further into the dark. she resisted.[break][break]

”i can’t decide if it’s the drk triad who show us what we see here, or if the unown are responsible. there are so many warnings and horrific endings. i'm sure you know by now there’s one down there, if we follow them.”[break][break]

she paused, looking over. ”they want us to ’walk with them but leave them’. what do you suppose that means, admin bee?”[break][break]

her eyes kept drifting to a nearby paradox pokemon that joined them, observing its behavior in the simulation. they'd been rare company for her, as she'd been warning against them.[break][break]

her stance had been reconsidered.[break][break]

Hmm. seems to think they’re our salvation.” Though wasn’t altogether convinced just yet. [break][break]

But who knows? If the simulations are to be believed, Maldacena says they’re watching. I wouldn’t be surprised if the DRK Triad are using their Unown to make this all possible. Perhaps even Dialga in some way.” Not PALKIA, though. had ripped that particular beast from the DRK Triad’s hands.[break][break]

‘We refute? refuse? the outside world.’” Barnaby continued where Lulu left off, echoing the voices he remembered flooding his mind. “The Unown talk in riddles. It could mean anything.” [break][break]

Luckily, deciphering meaning was something ROCKET’s scientists did best. And he had faith that was on the right track. Perhaps she could tease out the strange rituals done by the UNOWN in these ruins.[break][break]

Perhaps they want to stay in their own little dimension, away from the anomalies of our universe.

”what an interesting theory.”[break][break]

as for what powered the rks system, she agreed. ”i think you’re right about all of that.” the drk triad, the unown, dialga.[break][break]

as for the unown’s desire to be away from the anomalies, she nodded. ”and yet they’re here. i hope it’s to offer mercy.” but of course, she still had her doubts.[break][break]

returning to the thought on the simulation's back-end, she added, "i believe this system is pulling us into other timelines, perhaps creating more universes. but why? to sift through the alternate outcomes of these moments, or something else entirely?"[break][break]

the dark pulled. the ground crunched. fear was built into the experience as much as the walls of the ruins of alph. soon, her confidence crumbled like the floor beneath her as she turned to escape, forgetting the coming shift.[break][break]

beneath was another riddle, but nothing new.[break][break]

LEAVE THE RUINS
[break]







"Mercy..." Barnaby repeated quietly, weighing the word and its implications in his mind. [break][break]

"You know, I've been wondering," He tapped a contemplative finger on his lips, though the darkness around them would obscure the gesture. "The Unown are such a mystery. They're a hivemind, correct? They work in tandem, strength in numbers, all that. They have their own dimension, even."[break][break]

It was all about the collective with them. [break][break]

"Yet Head Scientist Sato's lot and the DRK Triad's appear diametrically opposed. Is it just a matter of some originating from another universe, or..." Are they playing us? [break][break]

Was there some larger scheme at work?[break][break]

Whatever the case, it was a conversation that could happen at another time. [break][break]

To 's question about the DRK Triad's motivations, Barnaby answered simply, "They're watching. Learning what makes us tick. I can only assume this simulation is gathering data on us as much as we're gleaning from it." [break][break]

Soon enough, fear consumed them both before the shift sent them to a wholly different scenario.

admin bee had been wondering the same as she had, and though he did not voice the concern fully, her eyes flicked over to him when they’d landed in the next simulation. the same suspicion lingered in her eyes, as it had before at that round table meeting in the past.[break][break]

”i’d say almost certainly, it is. a few of them are scientists – if not all of them. they’re studying us and the anomalies in a variety of ways.” but that did not mean the system wasn’t still being used to accelerate the growth of the multiverse.[break][break]

she turned toward the familiar tree, eyes casting over its kneeling subjects. she’d seen it all before. had he?[break][break]

”as for the unown, if the ones that side with the drk triad are from a different universe, then they are amongst us too. kallistatus, sato calls it. the blue one that seems ever-present." there was a tinge of bitterness to the word. "it belonged to nisa holo.”[break][break]

it was bold, she thought. naïve, to put so much trust in the eyes of a pokemon whose servants meant to kill their greatest weapons. perhaps even an oversight by himself – unless it was all part of the obfuscator's mysterious plan.[break][break]

"if they are the eyes of arceus, more than one may be watching."[break][break]

WATER IT
[break]






Another return to the TREE OF LIFE. He'd been here before, witnessed several endings to this particular scenario. Though he wasn't particular to it by any means, the quiet glade was a more serene place to chat than the UNOWN's ruins had been.[break][break]

"Ah, yes. Kallistatus. Her favorite."[break][break]

didn't doubt 's loyalty to ROCKET, but possible naiveté was a different concern. She trusted the UNOWN so implicitly — would that come back to haunt them?[break][break]



"Holo's favorite, too, it seems. What do you think the chances are that the DRK Triad can still 'see' from that particular Unown?"[break][break]

Passing through the lines of petrified Pokémon, the admin released his STARMIE to water the tree. Its sapphire gem gleamed brightly within the soft light of the glade.

The tree settles back into dormancy, but the Pokemon eventually turn to you in thanks.[break][break]

Curiously, these Pokemon feature brilliant markings that glow and glimmer beautifully in the dappled sunlight. Whether they were originally Illumina Pokemon or not is uncertain, but they shine bright with gratitude.

”i don’t know enough to guess. however, i do believe they’re watching us now.”[break][break]

the tree was watered, and from death came life. petrified stone crumbled from motionless bodies, reanimated. as they approached to give thanks, lulu held out a hand, palm up for a stantler to sniff. somewhere, in that moment, they were heroes.[break][break]

the pokemon’s illumina-reminsicent markings went unmentioned, for she imagined they would be nothing new to barnaby. typical run-throughs of the simulations had been extensively experienced, researched and reported on.[break][break]

instead, she asked, “are you familiar with the simulation of the room with the broken pokegear?”[break][break]

LEAVE THE GLADE
[break]






Reanimated Pokémon mill about, but they're of no consequence to . It was a scene he'd already witnessed a few times himself by this point. Instead, his focus was on .[break][break]

"I am."[break][break]

That particular scenario had been one of the most concerning, in his mind. It was an anomaly within an anomaly. A crackle of a voice from the void.[break][break]

"Maldacena is a curious one, isn't he?"[break][break]

Sometimes he helped, sometimes he hindered. His elaborate exploits within cyber space spoke for themselves — he'd given them knowledge that they'd have little way of knowing otherwise.[break][break]

Was he a rogue? Or still affiliated with the DRK Triad?[break][break]

"You never know who's watching."[break][break]

That warning had stayed with Barnaby.

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]Team Rocket has traversed the simulation an innumerous amount of times. By doing so, they have been lucky enough to access a new stage: one that finally grants them answers as to Arceus’ whereabouts—and perhaps frustratingly, more questions.[break][break]

After the transition, you find yourself on an endless staircase. Each step glows bright with divine light. Gazing down at your feet, you realize the stair treads are transparent. Vertigo grips your stomach as you realize you are at an impossible height—but beneath you is what appears to be an endless void. If Hoenn was below you, it is so far away that it would be an indiscernible speck.[break][break]

The first few steps you take play high, haunting notes like piano keys. To the trained ear, they would hear the notes: G, C, F, C, G, E, B, F#.[break][break]

What will you do?[break][break]

very curious.”[break][break]

she wondered if he’d also gone the alternate route of destruction, as she had once. grateful pokemon became stars gathered around them, and she imagined them as an audience peering through glass.[break][break]

how far could it be? if the staircase swung the other way, might they be able to grab hold of that spatial fabric and pull it like a curtain?[break][break]

“maybe there is an audience for every simulation.”[break][break]

and beyond the system, their eyes still watched, blinking out of portals around every corner, perhaps even in rocket’s submarine.[break][break]

she looked at the stairs beneath her feet and all the abyss below. they’d climbed up before.[break][break]

”shall we jump this time?”[break][break]

jump?

What awaited them in the abysmal blackness? Stars twinkled a path together, but there was no telling what lurked in the gloom. [break][break]

More eyes to watch them? Or answers to questions posed by the likes of Maldacena? Maybe even ARCEUS itself, ready to bring down its divine judgement on them?[break][break]

"Let's."[break][break]
