Dire straights called for drastic measures... The situation was only getting worse as Petalburg began to swell in power from the rocket forces that overtook it, and if left unchecked, the influence could spread.[break]
Unsure and uncertain as ever where her place was meant to be in all of this, Yuina at minimum knew that she would be a fool to refuse orders in a time like this, not when she was so precariously placed and poised at the razor's edge of what little standing she had in this life. Refuse orders and make herself look worse? Or debase herself to fight a fight that still wasn't hers...?[break][break]
She'd told worse lies to herself. And as her own worst enemy she continued to pretend that she was worth any of the good she tried to do.[break][break]
All she could do was wait for her fate to be decided by those above her, by those who believed they knew better for her than herself, and maybe they would be right... Maybe all she was ever meant to do was play a puppet to those around her, to be told who she was and who she could be, or couldn't be... And so it was out on the frontlines for now with little else to consider for herself.[break][break]
Sent out from Rustboro City and into the wilds beyond, Yuina was meant to check on perimeters and see if any boundaries had yet been breached by forces trying to head north. She kept to the trees, quiet, eyeing a map every so often as she moved forward. Within her own shadow, hidden and concealed, Daikenki laid in wait within Shadow Sneak to keep close but unassumed.

Tactically, being out in the open is a disaster in every situation. But Hoenn is not Galar, and its war is not any that Galar has experienced. The rules are different. She's still wrapping her head around it all, but Ameena knows for sure that they need to appear strong at all costs. This means that Rocket patrols tend to be loud, visible, and mechanically careless in how they move through the perimeters. If they seem untouchable, many will be discouraged from trying it. [break][break]

She wants to expect brilliance from the League, but she suspects the only trouble they'll have is from well-intentioned youth. This keeps her eyes on the trees, and it's not long before Inteleon's service as a sniper yields a result: someone is walking along the trees. Inteleon chirps to draw her attention to the blob in the distance. "There we go - a little wishiwashi away from its school." Easy pickings. [break][break]

"Knock 'em down." Inteleon generates a quick snipe shot at the figure (Yuina Higashi ), punctuated by Ameena's brief laughter. "No matter what happens, you can always trust Leaguers to be foolishly optimistic." And they deserved to be punished for it. She had lost a lot in the immediate build-up to Sootopolis, confirmed only in the fallout immediately after; the League would pay for it dearly.

[attr="class","body"]field mice on the routes were better left for hungry kanto birds. nevertheless, there they patrolled, where destiny had yet to reveal itself.[break][break]

a growl and a nearby rustle of leaves stole her attention. ”shade, leave it.” hardly an effective command. smelling fear, her shadow houndoom descended upon a baby pidove who’d fallen from its nest.[break][break]

lulu went over and crouched with a sigh, rubies in her sygna suit winking under dappled sunlight. she took her dog by the snout, thumb wiping away blood as she looked daringly into its eyes. ”i should know better, shouldn’t i shadow?”[break][break]

and at that level, then, she noticed the plants, leaves shiny with what mess remained. ”begonias.” she’d not counted herself superstitious for most of her life, but being touched by mythos had changed some things.[break][break]

her dog growled and she released it, standing quickly to evade the snap of its teeth. at the same moment, ameena’s voice crackled in her ear, followed by fire.[break][break]

looking out from the cover she’d taken some meters closer to the mark, lulu identified their target: the megalopolan child’s savior.[break][break]

”that’s yuina higashi,” she replied over comms.[break][break]

she glanced down at the dark leaves again, and though her old patron was not there, a sense of greater purpose engulfed her like the black of night.[break][break]

”go, shade. hunt.”[break][break]

the shadow houndoom tore from the trees at top speed, beelining for the target with blood still in its teeth. [break][break]
