All is Found

ft. Yuina Higashi

But there was nothing to be found there. Only the dangers that came from a warzone— a structure well on its way to complete collapse, and the cruel invaders responsible for it.

And yet.

As the young woman and her pokemon advanced, searching desperately, it all, too, began to disappear. To fade.

The smell of burning rubble, blood and gore. The sounds of marching troops and alert guards. And the even the horrid sights of a captured city.

It was all fading away, behind a rich curtain of pink mist. A rich fragrance of flowers and open seas. And the familiar sound of dissonant giggling.

A figure slowly emerged from the mist.

Tapu Lele's magenta & cyan eyes met Celebi's, then Yuina's, the deity raising a hand to greet them all heartily.

Tapu Lele just laughed.

Then swung her hand casually, as if throwing something at Yuina.

A bubbly, bouncy potato sack unceremoniously landed on Yuina Higashi, bouncing off her to sprawled out on the ground, drool dripping out of the mouth of this...

Strange, little abherration.

A cartoonish, magenta snot bubble inflated and deflated with his each breath.

It looked odd. Light refracted off its skin oddly, the shadows casted upon it sharp and clear cut, like cel-shading. Its features were round, cute and... appealing —in a very 'The illusion of life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston' kind of way. It almost seemed flat, if one were to stare at it from a single angle for long.

Taking a step back, it seemed like a... living, breathing, adorable caricature of Doug.

And it was most definitely him.

Tapu Lele simply blinked at Yuina.

Then, she picked the carica-Doug, holding it over Yuina.

Then, dropped him on top of the girl again.

As ever, the deity had no words for Yuina— she had no words for her own avatar, why would that change for her?

The carica-Doug merely snored, booger-bubble inflating and deflating with each breath.

Suddenly, the sounds of movement from nearby were heard. They stood in Petalburg— still an active warzone, even if the league had retreated.

Tapu Lele hummed, before suddenly lunging towards Yuina—

Grabbing her long hair before pulling her down towards her own shadow, phasing her them both through it.

A jolt, and a moment of dark— and then the movement of stomach contents as gravity suddenly took over, and they dropped—

Landing on a soft, plush flower bed.

The smell of plant life permeated the chamber they found themselves in. A vaguely familiar smell, to be sure.

Not too far away from them, at the center of the chamber, a large cauldron was to be found.

This was the temple of life's innermost chamber— Tapu Lele's lair, so to speak.

CaricaDoug continued to sleep, now more comfortable than ever in the bed of flowers.
