Intersections between crimes were not a rarity in the world. Occasionally, a bank robbery would intersect with a corruption scheme that was otherwise completely unrelated. Occasionally, a murder would cross paths with a trafficking scheme. This sort of thing was a lot more common than most people believed. Elaine had seen that reality firsthand many times in her short life.

So, when Elaine was on the tail of a smuggling ring, she was not surprised when she caught onto the trail of something far more nefarious in the process. While it wasn't related to her primary job, she had enough that she could make a move whenever she needed on that front. So, rather than finishing things off, she decided to traipse upon a new branch.

After all, she could deal with the other at any time. This one had been a bit more pressing. It all simply started with some abnormal transactions she reviewed, but the investigation had ended up taking her to an unassuming warehouse on the distal portions of Slateport City, overlooking the water.

As she had made her way to the warehouse, however, she noticed that things were eerily quiet. Further inspection showed flecks of rusted red-brown on one of the doors. There weren't many, but it clearly looked like someone had attempted to wipe the area clean.

So, while nobody was watching, she climbed up the emergency ladder on the side onto the metal balcony on the side of the upper floor. As she kept low, she looked through the windows and eventually found that one had been left open. There had been nobody on the upper mezzanine near any of the controls, so she entered through the window.

The space had been large enough that she could not see any of what was going on below, but she was able to lock eyes onto a large operation instrument planted by the railing.

However, as she took her first step onto the inside of the warehouse, she felt metallic sensation rising up to her nose.

Her eyes widened as she saw the gruesome sight left seemingly untampered on the top floor. A man who looked to be one of the workers from the warehouse had been unceremoniously bisected and left there, the remnants of his blood oozing on the ground.

It was horrifying, but she could not do much for the dead at this stage. The most she could do is recover his body when all was said and done for his family to perform his last rites.

Taking care to avoid stepping in any of the blood or making any noise, she slowly made her way to the console and crouched behind it. After looking out from it and through the railing, what she saw was...

Almost nothing left...

There were only three people left. Two of them were using Machokes to help move what looked to be a large crate--the last one that had been left there. They didn't draw as much attention, however, as the man who was standing there with them and giving orders.

Elaine quickly caught her breath as she obscured herself from him immediately.

She knew him. She had never interacted with him in person, but she had seen him during the incident in the Megalopolan ship recently. He was one of the people who had been intent on murdering Cyllora and Pecharunt. Moreover, he was one of the three underbosses of Rocket.

Of all the luck, I had to run into him of all people?!

He had clearly been overseeing some Rocket related operation. From the looks of it, smuggling some supplies from a warehouse they had recently taken over.

What am I supposed to do here? Am I even able to stand up to him? Her mind flashed abck to the memory of the man's own power that she had seen. Compared to him, she was...

No. They're almost done, which means they'll vacate this place soon and erase all traces. There's no point in turning back. There'll be no evidence to comb over.

She had to act here. I don't care how underhanded I have to be. I can't lose here.

The console behind her likely connected to some of the hooks and contraptions lined up above her. So, she could probably use those to her advantage. Maybe even some of the vehicles would be useful.

She had to come up with a plan soon. She could only hope that her presence hadn't been noticed yet. She had seen his face, after all. So, there was no reason he couldn't have seen her or seen something rustling up there in that same moment.

Cillian stands among fellow Rockets, lit cigarette in one hand and phone in the other. His attention is not on the catwalks above as Elaine Highland climbs the ladder and sneaks inside.[break][break]

His voice is deep, not loud, but it echoes in the vast space of the warehouse enough that she might hear.[break][break]

"And all these supplies are accounted for?" The other's voice does not carry so well, but perhaps she'd glimpse the emphatic nod. "Excellent, put all of that in your report." The grunt rubs the back of their neck, gesturing in the direction of where Elaine had found the body. "No, you did the right thing in calling for back-up. I'll send the cleaners to deal with the mess."[break][break]

The metal walls of the warehouse rattle before a strong wind. Where it blows through the open window, the SHADOW MIASMA that surrounds Cillian swirls.[break][break]

It's about that time that he looks away from his charge and locks eyes with an interloper.[break][break]

"Come down from there, and identify yourself."[break][break]

His sharp whistle echoes through the warehouse, answered by a Corviknight's caw.

What was fear? Was it an ominous sensation like a set of slimy tentacles slowly wrapping themselves around you? Was it a sensation of pressure so great that it felt like being at the bottom of an ocean? Was it a creeping feeling that encroached upon your very being until it reached your very soul? Elaine could not say at that very moment how she would describe that sensation, because it felt like a woeful amalgamation of them all.

"Come down from there, and identify yourself."

Those words were the one thing that she did not want to hear. She felt lucky that the man who called out to her hadn't just decided to attack on sight and ask questions later. Things could have gotten grim if they did.

What was she supposed to do in this state though? The moment she was called out, she could see the specter of death closing ever further in. But she could not remain here forever. The winds whirling around the building were proof that she couldn't escape the way she came either.

Elaine turned her head back to the console she was hiding behind, silently pressed a few buttons in under a few seconds, and then she finally stood back up. As she did, she let something fall down to her feet--a lone Pokeball that she, once again, kept hidden as she placed it under the sole of her shoe behind the console.

But rather than immediately coming down, she held up her hands by her head, keeping herself an arm's reach from the console.

"And what? You're going to make me promise to keep silent and you'll let me go?" Her heart pounded in her chest with every word she spoke. But she could not back down here. "Do you think I really believe that you'll let me live if I make myself completely vulnerable?"

She could not escape here. So, she'd have to forge a path the best she could.

Why did they love to choose the hard way?[break][break]

Cillian shakes his head, disappointed. He gestures with a hand to dismiss the other Rockets; they were but grunts, and there was no need for them to intervene.[break][break]

They return to the task of removing the last of the pilfered supplies from the warehouse.[break][break]

"Well I certainly won't let you go if you don't." Cillian laughs, and it echoes in the emptiness. "You know how he ended up like that?" Cillian gestures to the bisected man, SHADOW MIASMA swirling in response to the movement. "He decided to play hero."[break][break]

Blood coats STEEL WING feathers, dripping steadily into a pool below as the Corviknight haunts its perch.[break][break]

"The others were smart enough to leave."[break][break]

He waits, expectant.

"Damn it all!" The detective shouted. It was an uncharacteristic cry from her--one both unbecoming of her nature and the situation. She had cursed out. She scratched at her head with both her hands, disheveling her hair in the process.

There was a chance for an out here. She could give in to his demands and potentially walk away. As much as she wanted to deny it, the chances of survival were much, much worse if she didn't.

She was a detective. She was a part of the League. But, she need not play hero. She could live to fight another day. She had long since seen the result of that time and time again. The faces of the corpses that ended up either withering away into meaninglessness or into foundation stones for a stronger person.

Her hands dropped listlessly to her side. Her disheveled head looked straight up to the ceiling where scant amounts of the evening sunlight peeked through small skylights.

As one person, she didn't need to poke the Beedrill's nest. She could walk away alive. Revel in the futility of any defiance and live forward.

Elaine took a deep breath as she looked backed down at the man who would without a doubt try to kill her otherwise.

She took a deep breath. Her gaze focused into a simple, glare as her resolve steeled.

There was not a hint of hesitation as she shouted out. As if declaring war upon not just him, but the Fates that placed her in this position, she cried out. Neither he nor the heavens could stomp out her will.

"TO HELL WITH THAT!" One hand slammed down upon a button on the console. The other pointed towards the Corvinight letting drip the blood of its victim. Stamping down on the side of her heel, the Pokeball flew from beneath it. Towards the enemy's Corvinight.

Elaine Highland was weak. She knew that better than any others. On the other hand, the man before her was strong. Overwhelmingly so.

But something else was clear. He was one of them. One of the blights upon Hoenn. One of the metastases that were leaving the world around them a cachectic husk. She had seen as much in the Ultra Megalopolis only a few weeks prior. After all, he was one who had given in to the desire to commit heartless violence.

A core of the undying malice.

So, she would act here. Futility was a nonfactor. There was no way, she would let herself die a meaningless death here.

"BURN!" From the Pokeball popped out a Flygon who immediately let out a great Fire Blast to the bloody bird.

For all his villainy, the Harbinger's offer is a genuine one. Why waste energy on shedding blood when this could just as easily be solved with words?[break][break]

But there is no disappointment when Elaine doubles down.[break][break]

A great creak of metal and machinery alerts Cillian to the console's purpose as one of the massive hooks meant for transporting cargo swings down toward him. Had he been a normal man, it might've killed him.[break][break]

The hook cracks concrete as it lands among a pool of SHADOW MIASMA where the underboss has stood. A few feet away, Cillian breathes harder from the exertion of sudden movement. Eyes of amber narrow as he stares down his adversary, heart thundering. Yet he's smiling, sharp.[break][break]

"A dirty trick. You'd fit right in."[break][break]

Heat surges through the warehouse as a great gout of flame roars through the air. Its master wasn't the only one quicker than they should be — AERIAL AUTOTOMIZE activates as the Corviknight dodges out of the way with EXTREME SPEED. Steel feathers clatter against the floor below.[break][break]

AERIAL AUTOTOMIZE:

SPOILER: Click to show

Once per battle, Corviknight can shed part of its body to DECREASE ITS WEIGHT and INCREASE ITS SPEED significantly. This CURES ALL STATUS CONDITIONS.[break][break]
Once AERIAL AUTOTOMIZE has been used, STEEL WING can be used as a RANGED ATTACK, using its discarded feathers as projectiles.

[break][break]

Though Elaine might find some relief in the bird's inability to attack for focusing on evasion, it wouldn't last long. Cillian draws another pokeball from his belt.[break][break]

A LUXRAY takes the field, tail lashing as she lunges for the Flygon with maw agape to reveal ICY FANGS.

If the man before her were a normal man, that would have killed him. But she saw first hand already that the man before her was a far cry from normal and she saw first hand right there once again that he could not be called normal. Shadow replaced man and machinery fell to the ground, cracking the concrete with great clamor.

He would not die. Not that easily. She had pinned her plan on the hope that statement would stand. Elaine may have been resolved to fight, being resolved to kill was another story entirely. It was not that she held zero malice in her soul. It was that she could not fathom having the strength to enact that malice.

Nevertheless, she could not let things stand the way they were. The bird had evaded and another Pokemon had aimed, poised to strike at Tiamat who was still midair.

The element of surprise from a two-pronged sudden attack had failed, but that didn't mean it wasn't over yet.

"Astrape!" From out of her Pokeball, she matched Luxray with Luxray.

"Don't worry about me! Spread it all out!"

As the fangs of ice wrapped around Tiamat, both Tiamat and Atrape roared out in tandem with eyes wide open. Tiamat was in pain, but she would not let herself fall right there.

Electricity pulsed out from Astrape as she Discharged immense amounts of it. An explosive roar spread out as Tiamat let out its Boomburst.

A cacophony of lightning and noise erupted. Meanwhile, Elaine took a few steps back. Finding a spot where the two attacks would weaken each other rather than strengthen each other, she grit her teeth as she took the impacts of the charge and the noise, all the while hoping the attacks hit their marks.

She had no idea whether sound and lighting would create a diffrative effect, but this was her best bet right now. So she could find even one avenue to bring the titan before her down to his knees.

Undeterred by his assault, Elaine merely sends out another Pokémon to match. But Cillian's were SHADOW POKEMON and STRENGTHENED by his powers. She was not out of the woods.[break][break]

Still, she holds well with a DISCHARGE that crackles through the air, forcing Cillian to take cover behind a metal support pillar that grounds the electricity before it can reach him.[break][break]

His Pokemon are not so lucky. While the Luxray shrugs off the resisted attack, Corviknight shrieks in agony. It manages to RESIST THE PARALYSIS, thinned feathers gleaming with IRON DEFENSE.[break][break]

Leaping through the electricity, Luxray seeks to punish its counterpart with SHADOW END.[break][break]

In his hand, Cillian holds another ball.[break][break]

"We can do this all day. Can you?"

She had no idea whether that diffractive effect would work, but she was able to bear through it well enough. It was painful. She could feel her muscles twitching and she could swear she lost her hearing for a short moment, but she survived it. More importantly, her Pokemon had made it through.

However, the enemy Corvinight and Luxray had also grit through it. One was steeling its defense now while the other was taking a chance to attack its counterpart head-on. But for a moment she had seen soomething in the eyes of Astrape.

"Tiamat! Close in and burn!" Elaine first commanded the Flygon who had once again flew towards the Corviknight to aim her Fire Blast at it.

Next was Astrape. She was going to command it to use Roar. To send back the opposing Luxray would have been optimal in that state. But something in Astrape's eyes looked different. The opposing Luxray had been charging with an attack that would likely take her out. The only way that Luxray would get out safely would be to send back its opponent.

But that's how losers think.

Elaine was not sure, but that was probably her mentality. As electricity coalesced around Astrape, her face contorted into one of a predator looking towards its prey. The chips were down and she was at a huge disadvantage here, but she would charge forth regardless.

"We can do this all day. Can you?"

And perhaps she was infected by the mentality of her own Pokemon as she merely smiled.

"We'll end it before that question can even apply."

The Luxray charged forth. Lightning and Shadow would collide in a spectacular clash as Wild Charge met Shadow End. And at the end of it all, who would be left standing there?

A blast of fire is met with a PROTECTIVE barrier, allowing the Corviknight to flap back and out of the way. Still, the attack manages to stall the bird's assault.
[break][break]
The battle sounds as though Cillian's hearing it from underwater. Gingerly, the Harbinger rubs at one of his ears. He'd make sure to bring earplugs to his operations from now on.[break][break]

There's another, smaller shockwave of sound when the two Luxray meet in their clash of titans. Scathach tanks the hit relatively well thanks to typing, but her own SHADOW END still leaves her in rough shape. Yet she remains on her paws, a snarling SCARY FACE aimed at her doppelganger.[break][break]

"Bold words," Cillian calls back. "But can you back them up?"

It was getting difficult. It was hardly that his words were reaching to her core. After all, they were clearly just what they seemed. Intentional taunts. Clear attempts to throw her off her best as he attempted to close in on her. He could throw all the taunts he wanted and unless he made it personal, it would never resonate with her.

A part of Elaine could not help but feel a twinge of regret at just how gung-ho she had been at the start. She had commited to this all the moment she hit the button on the console, but it only been now that the realization of the consequences had dawned on her. She was by no means an idiot, but she had let instinct take control.

Tiamat had let out two strong hits, and they hadn't brought down that bird. Astrape had slammed into her counterpart, but she was reeling from the sparks of her own charge and and the strength of her opponent's. They had scored a direct hit on each other but she was clearly the one worse for wear.

The next move would be Astrape's last stand in this fight. No matter what she did now, she would be guaranteed to fall.

So, they had to make this count.

"TIAMAT!" Elaine pointed down at her feet--towards the upper mezzanine she was standing on. "Astrape! ROAR!"

Astrape had found herself caught in the enemy Luxray's scary face. Her feet were almost caught and she almost found herself holding back for just a moment before she Roared out.

On the other end, Tiamat elected not to pursue the enemy Corviknight. Instead, she prioritized orders. The hand singal was short, but it was enough. She had understood Elaine's command loud and clear. She flew down towards the mezzainine, slamming into the ground and creating a powerful Earthquake. But this was not simply aimed at her enemies. No, this one was aimed directly onto the ground Elaine stood on.

The mezzainie within ten meters surrounding her broke to pieces and fragments of concrete, debris, and rebar fell beneath them, creating a cloud of dust and smoke. She had been careful to leave the body untouched as the Flygon flew down alongside her falling trainer.

Elaine's hand grabbed onto Tiamat in that moment, ready to pull off skyward.

An ear-splitting ROAR forces Scathach back into her ball, buying Elaine precious time.[break][break]

Corviknight continues to buff its IRON DEFENSES, expecting an assault. It lets out a taunting caw as the dragon flies away from it, instead.[break][break]

His Pokemon might not comprehend what Elaine was up to, but Cillian catches on as soon as the mezzanine collapses in a shower of debris and dust.[break][break]

Hand already at his belt with intent to call back his Luxray, he shifts to instead wrap his fingers around a different ball. An Aerodactyl adorned in obsidian spines lets out a ROAR of its own, this one directed at Tiamat.[break][break]

Having pulled up his shirt to shield from the dust, Cillian's voice is muffled as he snarls, "Hunt her down."[break][break]

The DARK PREDATOR chooses Elaine as its PREY.[break][break]

DARK PREDATOR:

Aerodactyl may pick a single target to hunt. It will be able to track, chase, and deal more damage to its prey, but takes additional damage from all other sources.

DAMMIT!

She had intended to make descent and reascent with Tiamat's help but that plan had ended in failure the moment Tiamat had also returned to her own ball at the eruption of another deafening roar. Turnabout was fair play and Cillian had made that fact apparent in that moment.

Were it not for the fact that Tiamat had caught her part way, the fall would have probably been the end of this. She would have lost and been at the enemy's mercy.

But instead, she could land on the ground and roll out of the way. She could avoid the debris and make it through their rain with only a few scratches on her face and legs. She had enough experience falling from high places without a parachute that she knew better at this point than to let herself lose her legs.

"Thanks, Tiamat. Astrape."

The Luxray, after finishing its roar had fallen to the ground. She was no longer in any condition to battle. As the rubble fell between her and the roaring Aerodactyl, she returned the unconscious Pokemon to her Pokeball before grabbing two more and releasing the two Pokemon from within.

She would use the precious cover she had. In front of her now stood Ginga. By her side stood Jeanne. She quickly pointed Jeanne towards the armored avian sharpening its defenses. In the next moment, she pointed Ginga towards the Aerodactyl.

In the next moment, Ginga charged forth, taking a large amount of rubble with it as it aimed a Meteor Mash at its target. Meanwhile, the spectral knight climbed up the tower of rubble to cut down the jeering bird with her Bitter Blade.

Slashing its steely wings forward like twin scythes, BITTER BLADE meets the Corviknight's POWER TRIP. Its strengthened defenses empower the dark move alongside the MIASMA, a bloom of shadow at the center of the clash.[break][break]

Aerodactyl cannot meet its foe on such grounds; the METEOR MASH hits, and it hits hard. Harder even than it should, with its focus so sharp on Elaine that it does not even try to defend itself.[break][break]

A single harsh blow will not down a shadow such as this, however. Blinding light gathers in its maw before erupting forward in a brilliant HYPER BEAM that cuts through everything in its path. It heads straight for Elaine Highland with killing intent.[break][break]

The Aerodactyl's presence already exacts a certain PRESSURE on the air, but that pressure seems to grow in strength as it begins to RAIN.
