[attr="class","itemcoltext"]After surviving a journey to the deepest extremities of Ultra Deep Sea, you find yourselves in a chamber with a glowing, magenta organ pulsing in its center. It's a gargantuan core that continuously emits energy. Terrifyingly, the radiation it spreads seemingly distorts space and time around it.[break][break]

Around you, Poison Tera Crystals, minerals imbued with Dynamax Energy, and more exist for you to mine, harvest, and gather.[break][break]

To overcome the energy's paranoia or hallucinogenic effects, designate someone who will take the brunt of the core's radiation.

She had been to the ultra sea countless times. It was a source of wonder and a source of fear. Learning of Eternatus alongside Amor had been horrific. At first, they'd had no name for it, just the knowledge that the sea was actually contained within a living thing. Now, with time, distance, and knowledge, she held less fear for the sea but more apprehension than ever before. [break][break]

So, she was happy to have a partner. "How are you holding up?" She asked her fellow scientist, who she had yet to work with. Ameena's area was dream research, and she was under the impression he did something like physics? His expertise would be better applied, but her experience with the sea would help, too, she was sure. [break][break]

The poison tera was overwhelming as they moved closer. "We can handle it," she assured with utter confidence. If all she had faced had not killed her yet, this visit would not. "Are you good to continue?" She didn't want a negative answer, but it wasn't worth burning a bridge if the younger scientist was unable to continue. She liked networking with the Rocket scientific community, and one excursion wasn't worth a potential lab partner.

“Peachy. If I start having mutinous inclinations I’ll let you know.” He cracked a smile. He was the funniest fucking person he knew.
[break][break]
His suit was environmental numbers-- oxygen levels and ambient temps and PSI, as well as personal data, like his heart rate and blood pressure. Trying to find a pattern in the expansive therebefore.

She loved dark humor, but before she could respond to his own commentary, she found her head pounding. She rubbed at her temples as his pokemon generated protection. "Good call," she praised. The pressure of the environment was punishing. She also knew that the deep sea was prone to creating hallucinations, which she had been traumatized by too many times before. [break][break]

It was timely, too, as an onslaught of venoshock suddenly struck them from a blindspot. Nagandel and Nihilego then rushed them and surrounded them. Gardevoir escaped the protect and used mystical fire on the surrounding pokemon, the mystic nature of it pushing past the environment of the sea to burn them. One Nihilego got her with a power gem, though Gardevoir quickly returned to the protection of Kepler's pokemon and used healing pulse on herself. [break][break]

"Very aggressive," she observed. Nihilego didn't normally rely on a straightforward assault like that. Nagandel did it to protect their kin, but she didn't suspect there was a nest anywhere near where they were. "Eternatus influences their behavior in such odd ways. My own Nihilego is far more passive." She didn't study pokemon behaviorism, but for once, it seemed to be a substantive study. "We will need to work quickly to avoid further attacks. I suspect these swarms act as antibodies." Did Kepler know just what Eternatus was?

Pluto kept the protect barrier up as long as she could; when it’s soap-bubble sheen faded, she would conjure another, letting them expire naturally so as to preserve her energy as long as possible.
[break][break]
Kepler lived every moment on the knife’s edge of fight or flight; a rabbit out of room, with nowhere to run. He didn’t even notice the anxiety-- you get used to it, when you’re constantly so nervous you’re liable to feel like bugs are crawling on you at any second.
[break][break]
He reached out and pressed a gloved hand against the strange, flesh-colored wall. It beat against his palm, warm enough to feel even through his suit. When he pulled his hand away, sticky tendrils of something wet draped from his fingertips.
[break][break]
“Kinky.”
[break][break]
Purple sludge spattered against their protect shield, making Kepler jump. In a swirl of activity a swarm of Ultra Beasts rushed them; Pluto shrank the protect in to conserve energy and cover just Ameena and Kepler. In a flash of light, Hegemone appeared, and began levitating and hurling rocks at their attackers, denting carapaces and ripping holes in soft bells.
[break][break]
“Terrifying,” he said, in agreement with Ameena. “Though I’ve never had a good interaction with an Ultra Beast.” Even the one he’d studied with THEO BECKETT had been fucking horrifying, in its own way. “Do you think it’s like a mind control? Or maybe more symbiotic than parasitic?”

A symbiotic relationship was a hell of a theory out the gate. She had figured the ultra beasts to be just tools. Hers was grown from an egg, so she thought it avoided Eternatus' influence for that reason. Perhaps, the UBs controlled their actions but were protecting Eternatus as an instinct for their own well-being and survival. Symbiotic... yes, it was a very intriguing theory. Gave both parties more autonomy, though just as she thought it, the UBs seemed to flee. [break][break]

"Do you hear that?" [break][break]

Something long, dark, and littered with masks she associated with the Yamask found in her homeland Galar. "What is that monstrosity?" Instinctively, she knew it was not a real pokemon in the sense that the imperfect forms Ditto took on were not real. These were constructions of the mind, or some sicker force at work. [break][break]

"Do not go near it," she warned hurriedly, keeping her distance as it started to move closer to them. Good ol' Ultra Deep Sea, keeping her nightmares alive and fueling further ones. She was distinctly unhappy to realize she would inevitably see this guy in her dreams and consequently her dream journal. Her telepathic communication with Gardevoir had the psychic using imprison to keep it in place. Still, the scientist in her wanted to get closer to examine it, and the soldier in her wanted a tactical retreat.

Kepler felt like a parasite in his own body on any given day. Something floating here in this human-shaped puddle of viscera that just so happened to be wrapped in skin. Dysphoria was a motherfucker.
[break][break]
He’s watching Hegemone chunk rocks at Nihilego and wondering how it feels to touch their torn bells when Ameena’s question distracts him. “Huh?”
[break][break]
He did hear it, under the chaos of battle and the constant, deep heartbeat of the Ultra Sea. A repeated scratching-- a skittering, if you will.
[break][break]
“Something wicked this way comes,” he said, stepping back to prepare to bolt; he thought he’d had a good grasp on his fear and anxiety, but--
[break][break]
“Holy shit what the fuck IS that thing!” It’s so gross. He can see the organs within it flexing and moving under the semi-transulscent exo-skeleton. Something like a handprint presses against the inside of it, as though it’s trying to break free. “Don’t have to tell me twice.”
[break][break]
Whilst it was imprisoned, Hegemone fired off a spike cannon at it, bisecting a segment. The longer half of the beast fell off into the deep abyss; the shorter, closer half dangled entrails through the dark.

Ameena hurried away from the creature as Kepler's pokemon worked on destroying it. It was easy to choose to flee over staying any longer, evidence be damned. There would be more trips, more time, more stuff to snatch and grab and study. "We can return with better equipment to take some samples back. For now, our lives will suffice." As she spoke, more fused monsters started to come from the abyss. [break][break]

The abyss. This place was beyond cursed, and she didn't even believe in those. She felt better for coming here with a partner, as she had almost come on her own to avoid dealing with someone else's sensitivities to the deep sea. But even her prior experience hadn't prepared her for this. She felt nausea build at the sight of the creatures while they came closer. [break][break]

"Gardevoir, teleport us back to the rift," she demanded, letting Gardevoir take them all to the beginning of the deep sea as they could access. Dewford was on the other side. "I am glad you are competent outside of the laboratory. Once the area is more understood and tamed, we can approach it more effectively as scientists."
