The wilds were never a place he had been before. But he needed to get stronger. He just needed to. His abduction had been proof of that. He had gotten careless. Had gotten complacent. And it had cost him.
[break][break]
Due to the injuries he had sustained, his grandparents were worried more about him, and because of that, Volt hadn’t gotten the help he needed in time. He hadn’t been strong enough.
[break][break]
Was it wrong for him to beat himself up over something out of his control?
[break][break]
Probably?
[break][break]
But beating himself up was what he did best. It enabled him to get up and do something about the problem he faced. Which was getting stronger.
[break][break]
It was why, when Razz put word out that he was looking for someone to go into Ultra Plant with him, he immediately jumped at the opportunity. And that was now where you would find the two.
[break][break]
As Razz explained the dangers of the Ultra Plant, he nodded. “We’ll have each other's backs,” he agreed. There was no way he would have Razz be the only one to play protector.
[break][break]
“I have a Pokémon that knows volt absorb; I also have a Flygon,” he would reassure the older male as he returned Rook, the Corviknight, into his pokeball, only to send out Flash, a larger than average Zeraora, in exchange.
[break][break]
Once that was done, he would follow Razz into the domain.[break] Razz Kingsman

He didn’t really see anything specifically special about his response. To him, it was just something anyone would do. Well, anyone who had the morals or a conscience anyway.
[break][break]
Besides, he wouldn’t allow himself to be shaped by his past. Some believe family is what you make it, and he would like to believe that. To him, his fellow rangers were like family, and if they didn’t have each other's backs, then who would? That’s the way he saw it.
[break][break]
Hearing the first part of his comment, he started to pause before pausing at the mention of the Ultra Beast. “It seems pretty dangerous; I’ve heard these places are open to anyone, though even those are just civilians,” he said. It was clear he was wondering the reason for that, even if it wasn’t overly obvious.
[break][break]
Wouldn’t it be better to somehow close the places off to the public? He worried about someone not really skilled ending up in one of these places, maybe by accident, and getting hurt.
[break][break]
As he was asked whether or not he had questions, he thought about whether he had any questions before shaking his head. “None that I can think of off the top of my head, but if I have any, I’ll ask.”
[break][break]
While the two humans talked and Marowak used a lightning rod to defend against the lightning flash, he would play Look Out. Of course, if they needed to, they would absorb any lightning that struck nearby if the Marowak missed any.[break] Razz Kingsman

He supposed it in a way that did make sense. It would give civilians the necessary skills to get stronger. Though that meant he still didn’t worry, even if there were warnings in place, he just hoped some daydreamer didn’t end up wandering into one of these places by accident; not everyone paid as much attention to their surroundings as he did.
[break][break]
As they continued their trek through the Ultra Plant, a power station would soon come into view. They eyed the power station, coming to the same conclusion as Razz did: that the power station could possibly be used as a place to set up camp.
[break][break]
Before he could think too much about the idea, he noticed it stomping in the distance. It seemed setting up camp in the area wouldn’t be so simple. It seemed like they would have to fight for it.
[break][break]
As if the older male were reading his might, Razz asked if he was prepared to fight. "Yes, I’m confident in all of my Pokémon’s abilities to hold their own in a fight,” he said, his gaze flickering to Flash's, whose attention seemed fixated on the power station in the distance.[break] Razz Kingsman

So they were going to make a run for it. Not really what he was expecting, but effective if it paid off. If not, we’ll
[break][break]
He gave a slight nod before making a run towards the power station when he was given the station. That didn’t mean he got careless, though. No, he still paid attention to their surroundings, which is how he saw the Stakataka begin to turn their single eye towards them.
[break][break]
At the near hit, he flinched and stumbled slightly. At the suggestion to keep going while Razz took on the ultra beast, his head snapped around towards the older male so fast it was a wonder he didn’t end up with whiplash.
[break][break]
His innate desire to protect those around him warred with his need to follow a direct order. Scowling, he would send out Flygon with orders to provide backup as he swung himself onto the back of Zeraora. “I’ll see if anything in the power station can do anything to get them to leave,” he said as well.
[break][break]
Leaving just as Gaia would use Earth Power against the Stakataka.
[break][break]
Using Flash as a mount, even when not going at the full speed the electric cat was capable of, he managed to close the distance between the power station and himself faster than he would’ve if he were on foot. And this would be with him having to dodge lightning.
[break][break]
His eyes were fixed on the power station when it happened. Suddenly, there was a flash, and he couldn’t see the power station anymore. Had some of that lightning hit the power grid? Or had something happened during the battle that had caused damage to the power grid?
[break][break]
Unable to see where he was going, he pulled hard on Flash’s reigns but didn’t count for how fast he was going, and the momentum threw him off. Grunting as he hit the ground, he pushed himself up, glad to see he wasn’t really hurt aside from some scrapes and bruises and maybe a dislocated shoulder.
[break][break]
A flash of lightning would show he wasn’t far from the base, and he made his way inside.
[break][break]
Once inside, he would release Celestia from her pokeball and tell the Galarian Rapidash to release Dazzling Gleam outside the doorway to show Razz their location so he could get to the power station without difficulty. [break] Razz Kingsman

[attr="class","oocnotes"] + tried to go about this without going against his personality. Unless ordered to do something against his morals he wouldn’t disobey a direct order given to him by a superior. However in the heat of the moment he might do something reckless like riding a mount he hasn’t familiarized himself yet. Also his reasoning for riding Zeraora was so he could possibly get to the power station quicker and send Flash back out to provide further back up if it was needed

Fumbling around in the dark gave him no clue on how to turn the power back on. Though he supposed he should’ve known better than to just think he would stumble across a fuse box, his luck was nowhere near that good.
[break][break]
The older male’s voice would call out to him in the darkness, filling him with relief. It was good that he had made it.
[break][break]
“I’m good, mostly; I wasn’t expecting the power outage and didn't like the fact I couldn’t really see where I was going. I made Flash come to a stop right away but didn’t account for the momentum and was thrown off. I have a few scrapes and bruises, maybe a dislocated shoulder from where I hit the ground, but other than that, I’m fine,” he said, seeming completely unbothered by the minor injuries he had obtained.
[break][break]
His injuries, compared to what he had received in the past, were nothing. In fact, due to his high pain tolerance, he didn’t even hurt.
[break][break]
“How about you? Are you okay?” He asked, his voice sounding closer since he had the Zeraora guide him towards where the older male was.[break] Razz Kingsman

As the lights were rebooted enough to at least see him, he stepped away from the Zeraora and made his way over to the older male. As Razz checked his shoulder, he held it perfectly, still allowing him to assess the damage without anything to distract. Of course, it helped that he was skilled at getting injuries tended to.
[break][break]
“I’ve had broken ribs before and had to have my arm rebroken after that whole fiasco where me and some others were abducted, so pain isn’t much of an issue,” he said, seeming pretty unbothered. Though, considering his high pain tolerance, who could really blame him?
[break][break]
Still, he braced himself and gave the older male the go-ahead. Once his shoulder was fixed, he breathed a sigh of relief and flexed his arm. Everything seemed to be in working order, which was good.
[break][break]
Upon hearing the older male was unhurt, he was relieved—not that he really showed it. “Good, good, though I do hope your Marowak wasn’t too badly hurt,” he said, his thoughts flashing back to the ordeal he and others had faced when they had been imprisoned and basically forced to be slaves for weeks, though according to his grandparents, it had only been two days for everyone stuck back in Hoenn.
[break][break]
The other voice pulled him back to the present, and it took a minute for him to realize where the conversation had gone.
[break][break]
As his composure for dealing with danger was brought up, he shot him a puzzled look. “I’ve faced worse. I would actually be more surprised if something good actually happened than if I was running for my life from something,” he explained as he returned his Flygon back to his pokeball as well as his Zeraora.
[break][break]
"Anyways, let’s get this camp set up all proper,” he said as he moved to help the older male. Between the two of them, it wouldn’t take too long for them to have everything set up for the next people who chose to venture down here.[break] Razz Kingsman
