[attr="class","blbqimg"]
[attr="class","bisc"]Vanilla was missing. His stupid memes and texts hadn’t garnered so much as a simple read. And he knew his sister.

Which meant he knew exactly where she’d probably been headed: Petalburg. The pipsqueak had more courage in her little finger than he did in his entire body. Honestly, he wasn’t even sure where she put that stuff. All that bravado meant there was zero chance she hadn’t tried to help.

He gave it three days before he started to panic. ‘Please don’t make me come down there.’ This message is sent with a bit of sarcasm. After a few hours, he sent it again. Please don’t make me come out there.’

Sure, they called the cops, since she was a minor. But there were thousands of people missing out here. Dozens of people struggling to contact loved ones. That meant they were on their own. And he might be a bad big brother, but he couldn't just leave her here. He had to protect her.

Laying his bike against a tree, Biscotti took a shaky breath. He reached into the bag around the back. He slipped a ruby hat over his head. It was a perfect match to his red polo. A pair of khakis finished off the ensemble.

Though there was no visible Pokemon, he wasn’t alone. It just felt like brandishing a Pokemon was a BAD idea. With a capital B, and A, and D. His light brown eyes were currently heterochromatic. Why neither of them were purple, he’d never figured out.

“Let’s go, Bubbe.” He grinned awkwardly as he balanced the pizza box on his arm. A feminine, elderly cackle told him his ghoul was ready to go. And, well, he hoped somebody wanted a pizza. Because he was in the pain gang right now, and he really didn’t want to experience any.

After a few moments, he reached what seemed like a guardpost. Swallowing his words, he tried to get up the courage to speak. “Uh—” So far, so good. “I’ve got a delivery for, um—” The boy stared at the receipt for a moment, trying to recall the made-up name. But his nervous sweats had melted the receipt, dappling his palms with black.

In the end, he settled for a defeated, almost wisplike: “Pizza?”

[attr="class","diana"]Guarding Petalburg came as a part of the territory as Diana resumed her role in Rocket. Since the events of the penitentiary, her legs had recovered thanks to the aid of healer Pokemon, numerous medical staff, and the support of .

Oh, how betrayed he'd be to find her there, taking a position against his League and destroying the trust she'd worked so hard to build.

It was why she found herself purchasing a concealing outfit and a mask that distorted her voice. Just in case someone ran into her, whether it was the former prince, , or otherwise.

And, it gave her some motive that she could get away with her crime.

Diana's rotation on guard was relatively boring, as she hadn't seen many individuals coming to Petalburg due to the recent carnage. However, a boy appeared, dripping with sweat and stuttering away.

"Leave. I wouldn't come any further." The chopped vocals in her mask conveyed some level of warning.

[attr="class","bisc"]The ink on his hands smeared as he adjusted his grip on the box. Honey eyes lifted to meet the, uh, mask of the woman in front of him. Honey eyes briefly trail up and down, as if there might be something less anonymous to talk to. He offers up a shaky grin. His hands dig into the box until his knuckles turn white. “I—um—” Words. He needed to find some of those. A hand lifted in a request for pause.

The smell of pizza drifts up from inside the box. When it came to deception, he tried to be honest. “I just want to—” His eyes slide back, looking for a shadow that isn’t there. But, as intended, he’s on his own. A change comes over him as an almost manic light light fills his eyes.[break][break] “Look!” Biscotti moves to shove the pizza box into Diana’s arms. If successful, he goes for a phone in a hoody pocket. He doesn’t think how threatening this gesture is.

That she might think there’s a knife or gun in there. Or, worse, a psychotic Pokemon primed for war.

His shoes slip over the boundary line.

[attr="class","diana"]His hand lowered. Diana didn't know what was hiding in his pocket. A wave of panic rushed through her body, enough to make her anxious enough to vomit.

So she moved on instinct. Her hand shot forward, slapping away the pizza box and reaching to grab his wrist.

"Stand down," she urged him, twisting his arm and pulling it back. She'd attempt to wrestle him to the ground, trying to pin him down with the weight of her body.

Behind her, a low growl rumbled. WALKING WAKE stepped forward, shining brightly with its water tera. It roared, springing forward to attack Biscotti.

[attr="class","bisc"]For a second, he seemed more concerned about wasted food than his own safety. The pizza crashed to the ground in an undignified heap. Some excess tomato sauce streaked across the grass. It hit him that maybe he shouldn’t have wasted what money he had on an actual pizza. Then, there’s a lady on his back and his face is pressed into the dirt. In his fall, the kid’s phone goes flying.

There’s no pained scream as his arm is wrenched backward. He doesn’t even seem to notice the blood pouring down his face from his making out with the rocky ground. “I—uh—I can’t.” Right now, he wasn’t really able to stand down, up, or sideways. “You’re kind of heavy.” These words are muffled by the dirt in beneath him. A fact only partially corrected by the turning of his head. Then, there’s a look of sheer mortification.

It’s not at the Walking Wake but at what he just said. “I don’t mean you’re—sorry--it’s not that—” It’s only then that he notices the charging dino-cat. He swears quietly beneath his breath. He manages to swipe a Pokeball at his belt. What exactly it is he can’t tell. Pokeball organization wasn’t something he did. The things just got clipped on in whatever order made sense at the time.



A hot pink Dunsparce rolls out. It’s next move isn’t strategic. "Duuuuun?” Chugga doesn’t have a strategic bone (do these guys have bones?) in his body. Its tail snakes up just as the Walking Wake reaches them. Its Poison Jab aims to send it reeling backward.

[attr="class","diana"]The unintentional insult caused Diana's face to turn sour beneath her mask. And the poor boy realized a moment too late what mistake he'd made.

She was glad to see his face bleed.

"You should watch your mouth- and heed words of warning. Take this as a lesson." She twisted his wrist, looking up as a dunsparce emerged from its Poke ball.

The poisonous jab made the walking wake roar in annoyance, attacking with a strong breaking swipe.

[attr="class","bisc"]“Oh come on!” The brunette pushed up against the lady, but it wasn’t like he was buff or anything. Sure, he exercised and walked, but there was no six pack lurking beneath the fake uniform. Though he felt his hand twist, there’s no yelp of pain or shock. He also doesn’t seem bothered by the bruised face or knee digging into his back. “I already said I was sorry!”


Maybe there was a reason for this war.

A three-pronged claw slammed down in front of his face. The Walking Wake’s claws look like the tusk of some primeval beast. Which is kind of fitting when he thinks about it. It’s hard to miss the thing’s muscles this close. It was probably way stronger than anything he had on his team. And, compared to his Dunsparce, it’s totally night and day. He swallows. “Aren’t you worried about…collateral damage?” That last attack could have scalded her too. “This thing’s not really holding back.”

His Dunsparce rises to its full height, clumsily balanced on the tiny tip of its tail. This display is some weird, half-assed attempt at intimidation. All it does is give the Breaking Swipe a broader target. With a thump, the normal type falls back into the dirt. It thrashes for a moment before finally righting itself. It’s at this point that Scotti makes a noise of alarm. That attack could have really hurt him!

Sure, the the dragon was scary, but he had to do something. It seems going belly-up wasn’t doing the trick. He somehow doubted playing dead would either. “Ice—Ice spinner!” As the Dunsparce attacks, Biscotti throws himself up with all his weight aiming to throw off his attacker.

[attr="class","diana"]The boy should have known, "sorry" wasn't going to cut it in war. He'd made a choice to attempt to cross the Rocket checkpoint to get into the city. He'd insulted her.

These things weren't easy to forgive. Especially when the insult ran deep, as the laugh of the pruning fezandipiti had in the depths of the prison.

It fueled Diana to continue her attack, despite the way her body was already beginning to scream in protest. She wasn't as strong as her Rocket counterparts. Even training with didn't put muscle on her bones as she had rotten away in 's home for the past several months.

And, yet, she was a stubborn woman. She strived to prove a point.

"The stakes are always high in war. It's life or death. Maybe you should've thought of that before you decided to come here!" Her words were filled with poison that rivaled his Pokemon's poison jabs.

walking wake noticed crystalline patterns forming as the dunsparce began to spin with ice. It roared, tilting its head back as a blue kaleidoscope of color reflected from the sun. water tera energy radiated off of it as the attack struck.

It was weaker, substantially more than it would have been without the defense.

hydro steam burst forth, scalding water aiming to strike down the normal type.

Biscotti rolled Diana off of him, but she climbed back to her feet quickly. Her hand was balled in a fist as she threw it forward to attack him again.

[attr="class","blbqimg"]
[attr="class","bisc"]The woman’s jab makes him frown. It wasn’t like he’d feel it if he took a Hydro Steam to the face.

“I did!” Though maybe that’s not right. To him concepts like life, death, and war are kind of fuzzy. Sure, he’s read and seen stories, but he’s never actually fought like this. Not in this world anyway. He had a lot of growing and remembering to do before he was the King of Smiles again.

“It’s not about me!” Honestly, Scotti felt like a video game NPC. He’d never done anything important, and he doubted he ever would. Maybe that’s why he was out here trying to save Nilla. Sure, he wanted to be a good big brother. But, more than that, he wanted to matter. “That thing’s going to hit you if you aren’t careful.”

His heart pounded as the attack went off. Some part of him wanted to apologize to the stumbling monstrosity. His eyes widen as the Walking Wake erupts in crystalline light. Brown eyes fixate on the water spout on its head. And then, suddenly, he’s free. “!!”

In an instant, he’s up and running. Clumsily, the teenager dodges her first. It whistles through the gap between his flailing arm and his oversized jacket. After he makes it a few dozen steps, he remembers his shiny Dunsparce. “Chugga buddy, come—!”

The little normal type is quivering in the wartorn soil. As the water nears it, the Dunsparce’s tail glows a feral purple. Its Dragon Tail ripples outward from its attack. But the Hydro Steam washes hits him like a tsunami. Now unconscious, the snake collapses into the mud.

Biscotti pauses for just a second before racing perpendicular to his original path. The woods might give him some protection. At least if Rocket’s obeyed borders as much as they protected them.

[attr="class","diana"]Diana didn't have time to retort. Instead, the boy began to scurry away into the woods, taking off from the border she was guarding. She raised her brow beneath her mask, crossing her arms over her chest.

Behind her, walking wake roared in victory.

"Don't come back, kid." Her voice was quiet, pensive as she thought about their battle.

He didn't deserve a life in this war. He was better off staying home, protected.
