WHAT A CUTE AND FUZZY CRITTER YOU ARE.

LIKE A BIRD ASLEEP IN SNOW THAT WILL NEVER ROUSE ITSELF AGAIN, THIS PACHIRISU PERSISTS. ITS POWER IS LAUGHABLE, ITS EXISTENCE MOCKING.

IT IS YOU.

THIS PACHIRISU HOLDS GREATER POWER THAN YOU.

CAPTURE IT. SEIZE IT. TURN IT INTO SOMETHING MORE.

ADD IT TO THE COFFIN OF STEEL MADE FROM THE HOLLOWED CARCASS OF AN ANT.

DISGUSTING, YET STILL...

WORTHY.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE TOO.

YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE POKEMON HERE. THEY'RE NOT NEW TO YOU. THEY'RE JUST... REPETITIONS.

BUT YOU LIKE REPETITIONS. THAT'S ALL YOU'VE EVER LIKED. HISTORY IS THE SAME WHEEL TURNING, OVER AND OVER, HOPING THAT IT WILL BE DIFFERENT ON THE NEXT TURN AROUND.

BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE.

IT IS NOT WORTHY OF YOUR TIME.

PRESS FORWARD, COG.

SKIPPING

DUNSPARCE.

WHAT AN INTERESTING THING. A CRAVEN IN THE GROUND. DIRT CRAWLING THROUGH NAILS AS IT HIDES WITHIN THE EARTH TO SURVIVE.

A PITIFUL THING.

IT IS LIKE YOU. YOU FILTHY RAT.

YOU HAVE THIS. MARCH FORWARD.

IT IS NOT WORTHY.

SKIPPING

THERE IT IS. THAT FAMILIAR GNASHING OF GEARS THAT YOU SO DESPERATELY CRAVE.

THIS KLINK WILL NEED MODIFICATIONS TO FIT YOUR GOALS. A MINUS TO ITS BROTHER'S PLUS. A NEGATIVE TO ITS POSITIVE. YOU NEED NOT CLARITY OF BODY, ONLY ITS CORPSE. THAT YOU WILL HAVE. THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.

THAT IS THIS GEAR'S ONLY PURPOSE.

A COG.

YOU ARE A COG.

KEEP MARCHING.

CAPTURE IT.

WORTHY.

YOUR CAPTURE ATTEMPT WAS SUCCESSFUL!

WHAT?

THIS IS NEW. YOU HAVE AN EXTRA POKEBALL REMAINING. WHY? YOU SHOULD HAVE USED YOUR LAST ONE ON THE KLINK.

YET ONE PERSISTS.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GO FURTHER? THIS JOURNEY HAD AN ENDING. IT WAS REACHED. WHAT USE IS THERE IN PERSISTANCE?

THERE IS NONE.

YET YOU PERSIST ANYWAY.

YOU REACH THE END. THE TRUE END. THE END OF THIS SAFARI. IT'S A POKEMON YOU HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE. NOT IN A VERY LONG TIME.

CYCLIZAR.

THE ENDING.

WHY?

YOU SEE THE POKEMON AND THINK OF Shred AND june sleigh AND THE THINGS YET TO COME. THE FATE HAS NOT BEEN WOVEN. YET YOU SEE A FUTURE THERE, BORN FROM THE EGGSHELLS OF THE PAST.

THIS IS WHAT REMAINS.

YOU THROW THE POKEBALL.

WHY?

THAT IS WHAT A TRAINER DOES.

WORTHY.

THE YEAR IS 2024.

OSCAR CLAYTON HAS TORN THROUGH ROCKET'S KLINK SUPPLY IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GENESECT FOR A CERTAIN S.P.E.C.T.R.A TOURNAMENT RAN BY ZEV HARCOURT and JAYDEN CROSS.

RATHER THAN FIND MORE STEEL-TYPE POKEMON TO MELT INTO SLAG, HOWARD TAKES IT UPON HIMSELF TO HELP THE SCIENTIST OUT. A HAPPY OSCAR IS A PRODUCTIVE OSCAR, AFTER ALL.

HOWARD'S ADVENTURE BEGINS.
