MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Sept 19, 2024 16:35:57 GMT

In their effervescent search for the Loyal Three, the dynamic duo of Andrea and Ogerpon had combed the northernmost part of Route 104 to no avail. It was as if the dastardly trio had vanished off the face of the earth.

This was a situation where Naomi Sato’s ability to ~~stalk~~ find everyone within Hoenn would really have come in handy, but alas. They only had the one lead to work with, namely those footprints Pon had found in the woods with her newest friend Doug.

While there were no Okidogi, Munkidori, or Fezandipiti to be found, they did come across a familiar face; one who, fortunately, was another friend. The little ogre with the keen nose(?) was the first to become wary of her presence.

“Poni!”

“Eris? Long time no see!” Andrea gave the younger girl a cordial greeting, unaware that she was out on a mission of her own. “How are you and Isaac?” The PokéManiac proceeded to ask, very much out of the loop on account of her self-imposed solitude.

“No need to call me Miss. I’m only 21.” Andrea said with an awkward smile, slightly unnerved by Eris’ borderline robotic answers. Her amethyst eyes were drawn to Reiner’s bandages, causing her to frown. “Oh, poor thing. I hope he didn’t get hurt too bad.”

Then again, an injured partner was infinitely preferable to no partner. Andrea knew that all too well… It was mainly thanks to Navy’s inspiring words echoing in her head that she managed to somewhat come to terms with her loss. Somewhat.

“Pon and I have been searching for the Lousy Three’s current whereabouts. We haven’t had any luck, though…” She answered the younger girl’s query, reaching down to pet Ogerpon between her horns. “Anyway, what are you up to?”

Reiner isn't in the best of health as evidenced by his actions, but he has surely been through worse. Just not as of late. It's often hard for her to remember this fact, for each time he is injured, her stomach churns and her mind is simply twisted into knots.[break][break]

"Ever since Petalburg?" That is the last point in time where she'd known them to be present. "Has Hideo talked to you about them?"[break][break]

Despite the series of events that had gone down in the city, she knows how Hideo Kino can get when he sets his mind to things. She just wishes it wasn't something as ominous and uncharted as this.[break][break]

“Yeah, I did talk to Hideo. How did you know?” The PokéManiac responded, tilting her dragon-hooded head curiously. “He and Uxie told us about the statues and how we need to destroy them in order for the Lousy Three to stay dead.”

There was a brief pause where one could almost hear the Kricketunes chirping. Then, the woman’s amethyst eyes widened like a pair of disks. “Oops, I wasn’t supposed to reveal that! Forget I said anything! Uxie isn’t real!” She frantically tried to fix her fuckup.

Alas, Andrea was like an open book. She could not keep a secret to save her life. At the very least, she’d just spilled the beans to an ally rather than an enemy.

Speaking of enemies. “Rocket, huh? And you’re doing this on your own?” She couldn’t help but deeply respect Eris at that moment. She was half her size, yet wasn’t afraid to tussle with the crime syndicate if necessary.

As luck (or bad luck) would have it, a small group of Rocket grunts that were in the area accosted the two girls. “Looks like we’ve hit the jackpot, boys! Hand over your Pokémon and nobody will get hurt!”

Aww shit, here we go again.

[attr="class","eris109"]"He told me about it. Like how he does with a lot of other stuff, 'cos we're close friends." The answer is as simple as that, even if it sounds weird upon her tongue.

"Just be careful not to mention that around Rockets. We've been keeping it under wraps for quite a while now."[break][break]

Even if they are to take different paths, the least she can do is keep him safe.[break][break]

"It's better if I do it alone." To avoid the stares and rumours. To remain blissful unaware of the accusations against her character. Though she sounds certain, Eris can't help but wonder if that truly is the case. Whatever goes through Andrea's mind isn't readable in the moment, not when a rowdy voice cuts right into their chance meeting.[break][break]

Those Rocket grunts seemingly recognized one of their own. Eris’ criminal history was a topic that Andrea often overlooked or outright forgot. The past was the past, and people changed. Well, some people did anyway.

“Don’t mess with hounds unless you wanna get bitten!” Said the flamboyant cosplayer in an antagonizing manner. “Pon, hit ‘em with your Z-Move! MEMORIES OF ONIGASHIMA!!”

“GRAAAH!! POOOOON!!!!”

Brimming with verdant energies, Ogerpon conjured a pair of gigantic arms made of thorny vines, pummeling the hordes of Poison-type Pokémon the grunts sent after them, and setting up a Grassy Terrain in the process.

“How the hell are they this strong?!” One of the Rockets cried out in shock.

“Welcome to Hoenn, bitch!” Andrea spat as she symbolically took revenge on Chomper’s killers. Jalapeño’s Pokéball shook with RAGE, the Fuecoco wanting to avenge his fallen friend too.

“Go get ‘em, Jalapeño! Springtide Storm!” The onesie-clad woman tossed the ball with the skill of a professional pitcher. Empowered by its trainer’s Sygna Suit, the baby crocodile summoned a roaring storm of cherry blossom petals that obscured the enemy’s vision.

“We softened them up for you! Now it’s your turn!” The woman told Eris and Reiner, giving them both a thumbs up.

[attr="class","eris109"]A deep breath as she takes a runner's position. Then she runs, straight towards that messy hell. The pokeball pulled from her pockets is tossed lightly towards the fray, just far and high enough for her to reach out and draw her Doublade from the scabbards that appear.[break][break]

Grip tight around the handle, years of fleet footwork across a chaotic battlefield gradually returned to her after months of rigorous training. A leap over a fallen Arbok, the back of her sword swung into the Crobat that tries to rush at her. Jack watches over her advance in place of the true knight that had pledged to keep her safe, allowing her to chase after the lesser grunts that attempt to retreat.[break][break]

"Oi, oi. Don't fucking let one ogre and a kid get the better of you."[break][break]

And yet, when surrounded by legends, one can often forget that they aren't the only ones that have access to higher powers. Amidst the flurry of petals and winds, there is a glow. A faint light encircling a pair of undiscernible figures as a Blazing Bulwark reduces a hateful pink into smoke and ashes. And through the smoke, a series of flashes slash right through, a Tachyon Cutter aimed straight for Eris.[break][break]

Before those blades can ever hope to scratch her, they slam right into a rosy wall of pink. A quiet coo ringing out beside her ear as a gentle weight alights upon her shoulder. Though time is short, she can at least afford the little Ralts the faintest ghost of a smile as she regains her balance and attempts to swing in Retaliation.[break][break]

Steel clashes against steel in a furious song, the burning glow of dawn competing against the cooling shades of dusk. While she is successful in pushing the Iron Crown's face away from hers, the difference in mass also sends Eris stumbling backwards. And she hops to catch herself, backing up even further before the paradox attempts to stomp on her.[break][break]

On the other hand, spectral hands shoot out from Ogerpon and Andrea's shadow, attempting to grab at their ankles and shackle them right to the ground.

An important lesson that had unfortunately never been imparted on Andrea was never to underestimate the enemy. Another new thing learned today was that Eris was a surprisingly adept swordfighter. Sadly, those skills did very little against the Paradox Pokémon that appeared out of thin air.

“Pon, help Eris out!” The PokéManiac exclaimed, as her Ogerpon dashed forward, aiming its signature Ivy Cudgel on the Iron Crown’s metallic noggin. Thanks to the established Grassy Terrain, the ogre’s thorny mallet could deal more damage than it otherwise would have.

Noticing the ghostly hands at the last second, Andrea hugged her crocodilian son tightly. “Jalapeño, dodge with another Springtide Storm!” At her order, the Fuecoco shot a second tornado of cherry blossom petals downwards, causing them both to get launched into the air and out of the spectral limbs’ reach.

“TRAINER MOVE: PHYSICAL SHIELD!!” The Sygna Suited woman manifested a quick barrier to soften her landing, but still hurt her back upon impact with the hard soil. She tried to hide her pain for her son’s sake. “It’s okay, Jalapeño… Mommy’s okay…” She reassured her worried Fuecoco.

[attr="class","eris109"]As Ogerpon rushes for the Iron Crown, a fiery red aura emboldens the paradox, allowing the metallic beast to tank the physical hit and parry the cudgel with a retaliatory Sacred Sword.[break][break]

Whilst the young ogress has its attention, Eris takes her chance, vanishing in a glimmer of pink as the Ralts giggles and claps.[break][break]

"Where's that fu-"[break][break]

"Right here."[break][break]

From behind them, a girl reappears in a flutter of red, one blade dripping shadows as the other burns incandescent. A duet of Night Slash and Sacred Sword, striking in a perfect X against the back of the first of two Rockets. But before she can step and turn her aggression onto the other, blood red claws swipe in an attempt to catch and crush her beneath.[break][break]

"Damn mutt!"[break][break]

Whistle.[break][break]

A Springtide Storm sweeps in like a raging tide, crashing against the Gouging Fire's flank and pushing it off balance such that she gains the opportunity to duck and slip away.[break][break]

On the other hand, Jalapeño and Andrea are far from escaping the tangling shadows, green and yellow flames flickering and dancing all around them. Two pairs of sunset orbs watch gleefully, Punches being thrown from the Shadows whilst the woman still has yet to recover.

Burned by the opponent’s fiery blessing, Pon was forced to play defensively. She quickly conjured a wall of ivy and thorns in front of her, blocking the Paradox Pokémon’s attack with her Spiky Shield.

Meanwhile, Andrea was still hurting. Her worst fears were materialized when Jalapeño was brutally punched by their shadowy pursuer. Now both mother and son were beat up and lying on the ground.

“We can still fight…” The onesie-clad woman eked out, willing herself to stand up. Her Sygna Suit deactivated, a Tera Orb activating in its place. “Jalapeño, Terastallize! Show them your Stellar power! RAWR!” She roared defiantly.

A majestic crown shaped like a turtle manifested on top of the Fuecoco’s head, colorful crystals representing each type orbiting around it. With its newfound power, the Paldean starter fired a Stellar-type Tera Blast at their unknown enemy.

"Pon!"[break][break]

This isn't good. From the corner of her eyes, she just about spies the young ogress being pushed back. But when Eris so much as tries to take a step towards her, she is cut off by a vicious plume of fire, the searing heat burning exposed skin and reminding her just how seriously Rockets take the subject of betrayal.[break][break]

"You're not getting away you traitorous bitch!"[break][break]

"What's up? Frustrated that you can't keep this damn mutt on a leash?"[break][break]

A click of her tongue, Eris takes a step back as she swipes at her belt and tosses a pokeball right at the ancient Entei. Contrary to expectations of equally fierce and menacing challengers, the one that pops out is none other than a Wooper with anger so passionate that she slams her head right into that of the Gouging Fire. Along with Socks flutters a friend, a Ralts cradling a shimmering orb as they help to pass on that burning will.[break][break]

One touch is all that needs to happen, a crystalline sheen starting from the heart and spreading quick to the rest of the body. In that moment where the two pokemon separate from the force of collision, Sock's antennae glow a frigid blue, icy particles gathering around her like a sky full of stars.[break][break]

"Cool 'em off!"[break][break]

In an instant, an Icy Wind sweeps through the battlefield, bitter cold gnawing at the bones as the Gouging Fire stumbles and roars. Neither beast nor Rockets are spared from the buffeting storm, allowing Eris just enough time to turn her attention back to Ogerpon and reach her hand towards the Iron Crown.[break][break]

Chains wrap around the paradox's neck, pulled tight with a yank of her hand and forcing the beast to look right at her.[break][break]

"Oi, asshole."[break][break]

Bright is the smoldering flame to her glare, bright as the flickers of red willed into existence. And yet, her voice is calm, whispering of an acceptance that permeates all of her being. There is no running from the hell she has been cast into. Her flesh will be carved up and her bones licked clean by fires. But in the midst of this fate that she oh so futilely attempts to fight against, there is just one thing she will not accept -[break][break]

"Get away from my friend before I kill you."[break][break]

Over on Andrea's end, Jalapeño does its best to strike at the moving shadows. They are swift, relentless, but even they have openings they exposed when they attempt to land yet another punch. And with a rage of a fearsome crocodile, it manages to shoot one of its assailants down, ripping a Marshadow right out of its cloak of darkness whilst the other hastily retreats back into the shadows.[break][break]

Green will-o-wisps flicker around its wavering body, bright red eyes narrow as the warrior clenches its fist. Then it lunges, aiming a Shadow Punch square in Jalapeño's chest. Following its lead, a second Marshadow emerges from the dark, attempting to land a Poison Jab on Andrea's back. Unfortunately for this war-mongering soul, it will find itself interrupted by a Rising Voltage, electricity crackling as Reiner rushes in to slam it into the ground.

Andrea could barely keep up with the amount of legendaries being sicked on them. It went to show that, if Team Rocket was allowed to stay in Hoenn, they would continue to gain more power to fuel their ultimate goal of world domination.

“Eris!” The woman shouted in worry as her friend was consumed by Gouging Fire’s primordial flames. However, like a phoenix, the Rocket defector emerged from the blazes stronger than ever before. “Thatta girl! Go get ‘em!”

“PONYO!” Ogerpon gained a second wind of her own, the lingering Grassy Terrain healing most of her injuries and revitalizing her small body.

Still, they needed more firepower. “Go, Meatloaf! Mega Evolve!” The dragon maniac sent out her trusty Salamence, who immediately assumed its Mega form, blotting out the sun with its crescent-shaped wings. “Show ‘em why they shouldn’t mess with us, everyone!”

Meatloaf Flew down in order to intercept one of the revealed Marshadow. Pon conjured a Frenzy Plant to further entangle the chained Iron Crown. Last but not least, Jalapeño shook the damage off, before firing a Springtide Storm at the remaining Marshadow.

Andrea had finally found her reason to fight: Stopping Team Rocket not because the League told her to, but because they had become as much of a threat to her friends and the region as a whole as the DRK Triad and the Megalopolans were.

The Gouging Fire and its trainer most certainly does not appreciate her efforts to return it to the Ice Age, a Raging Fury attempting to blast through the crystalline blizzard. And yet, Socks knows better than to allow them time for respite, one foot stomping against the ground as she summons her own fury with a roaring Earthquake.[break][break]

With faith that the fight behind her is being handled, Eris forces herself to move, pulling upon the chain as she runs with Doublade in hand.[break][break]

Stronger. She needs to be stronger even when she no longer has them by her side. Strong enough that she can confidently act upon her will and hers alone.[break][break]

The chain burns bright, crimson red steadily crumbling as flowers begin to bloom from its remains. As constellations weave themselves upon her clothes, spring arrives, softly, silently; Petals surging with her advance as shadows and storm descend upon the mechanical beast.[break][break]

And she is never alone. The grassy terrain keeps old injuries at bay as a Luxray leaves the Marshadow to Meatloaf for cleanup, instead grabbing the Springtide afflicted Marshadow and tossing it at the Iron Crown from across the clearing. Forcing the already groaning Iron Crown to stumble and struggle against its thorny shackles.[break][break]

Widen your stance, and set your dominant foot back to anchor yourself to brace for a blow. She moves just as she's practiced, Jack raising to parry the Sacred Sword swung in retaliation. And for a moment, she is thankful that she'd paid attention to Yuina Higashi's advice, far more solidly grounded this time as she and her knight work in tandem to fend off the antagonising crown.
