The sounds of Theo and Howard's footsteps clicked against the floor as they walked down a path between buildings. Nearby, the gaping wound that led into Hoenn's bowels that Regirock had formed stretched like a maw that threatened to devour the rest of the city. Mountains cast long shadows across the remains of the city.

"I can't approve these budget reallocations, Underboss Beckett." Howard sighed as he rummaged through an open folder, chewing on a pencil as they walked. "Talk to your friends in Kanto and tell them to give us a loan with low interest. I never thought I'd say this, but Team Rocket might need to actually incur a debt in order to generate credit."

Step. Step. Step. Their footsteps continued their rhythmic clicking through Petalburg. Slowly but surely, the city was rebuilding.

"I can talk to Monroe about it, but I don't know if he likes me or not. You're an underboss. He respects you more than me."

It felt like everyone respected Howard less and less these days. Theo, meanwhile, oozed charisma. He was one of the few remaining in the organization that had tenure from before Hoenn was the main stage of war.

"It's why-" The admin's foot sunk into umbral shadow. "What the-"

His calf and leg quickly followed, before he was almost swallowed by a rift before Theo could even blink. His eye widened as he turned to the underboss in a mixture of confusion and fear.

"Theo, what is this?" He disappeared into the rift with a disrupted cry for help. "thEO!!!"

Clatter. Regirock's Pokeball rolled next to Theo's foot. Minute, shadowy hands clawed at the metallic orb. The otherworldly world remembered the taste of stone, and of . It wanted that Pokémon back.

"monroe doesn't have to like you. you're an admin, he will respect your request."[break][break]

though the chances of said request being approved would be higher if it came from theo, that much he cannot dispute. despite how little he knows of the kantonian boss, he knows his reputation is sound while admin fox's has taken a dive for worse recently.[break][break]

"but i will se—"[break][break]

his words are quickly swallowed by umbral shadow. he doesn't even bother reaching out for the admin; such attempt would be feeble regardless.[break][break]

the clattering pokeball brings their conversation to an abrupt end. he glances down at it, confused, but picks it up before shadowy hands could snatch it away.[break][break]

"hm."[break][break]

he sends a quick message to before stepping into the rift as well.[break][break]

Rifts to Distortion World appearing in Petalburg. Come investigate ASAP.

On the reverse side of the world, the distorted replica of Petalburg was unmarred. There were no mountains that formed valleys in once verdant fields. There was no war. No destruction. It was Petalburg, but a version in which certain colors were incorrect. Time did not flow. Space did not expand.

Nothing worked.

Yet before their eyes, the city begged for destruction. Certain buildings sagged under the weight, and replicas of mountains flickered into existence before vanishing again. The Distortion World wished for replication, yet could not provide it.

A set piece was needed.

"Dammit." The admin groaned from a nearby wall as he stood. He straightened his hat, before looking around the building that gravity pulled him towards. A pet store catering to Magikarps and other Water-type Pokemon stared back at him, and the admin looked around until he saw Theo. "Shit. You're here, too?"

Several ledgers floated in the air between them.

"So this is the Distortion World, then? The place that Walsh wants to invade?" Howard put a hand on his hip. asked, and it was like reality obeyed. "Mark that off the list, then."

as he sets his eyes on the fishie pet store, he wonders if he's being catered to. this world lures him with tempting bait expecting him to bite. he might've if not for the groaning admin.[break][break]

one wrong step could turn them inside out.[break][break]

The fact that Theo Beckett, an engineer of Team Rocket's seizure of Kanto was going to get fooled by a fishie store was something that would've likely destroyed any iota of credibility that Team Rocket had or would ever have. Luckily for the universe, that fact remained buried.

For now.

"It is." Howard confessed as he hopped from the fish store towards the ground. His eye flicked from the underboss to Regirock's Pokeball, before crossing his arms. It was a cheap container, shined and scuffed and held with little regard. "You got Regirock, splendid."

He did not turn to take it from the underboss. Instead, the archaeologist looked around, peering through distorted windows that reflected twisted visages back towards the admin. In one, Howard's original body stared back. That window, he pointedly ignored.

"How do we get back?"

there is no point skirting around the truth. his pride remains unwounded by his admission. it would be strange if he knew the ins and outs of this uncharted world.[break][break]

his eyes do not venture to the many twisted windows. he holds the scuffed pokeball up.[break][break]

Howard's eye flickered as it regarded the Pokeball. Occasionally, the admin felt less like a human and more akin to a porcelain doll, carved from stone and ore where flesh and bone had withered away and died. Inhuman. In spite of that, he still raged and hated and cried all the same.

He had done so over Elisabeth's grave while Theo had watched. Yet now, while the underboss questioned him, it seemed apparent again.

"It was all I had on hand, at the time." Howard said brusquely, frowning as he did so. Whenever Regirock's seizure was mentioned, it often led to Petalburg. After the upper command's meeting, the admin had grown defensive over the fragility of his success. "I should replace it, but it's not time yet."

He gave Theo a look.

"I get the feeling in my gut that there's a better Pokeball for it than any I can offer."

not that theo would ever take it, of course, but he's curious to gauge the admin's reaction. or lack of one.[break][break]

Realization dawned in the admin's bloodshot eye. A reminder that he had been drinking heavily since Elisabeth's return from the dead.

"No. Because as long as it ends up in the hands of a human being, it will serve its purpose when the time comes. That Pokémon is with me because we are the same. That doesn't mean it won't march alongside you or any of the Rocket Beasts when the time comes."

There was no use for a tool that only obeyed one person. Regirock and Regice were partial to Howard, but there was a shared understanding that the golems would serve humanity.

"If it ended up in the hands of a strong trainer like you or Cillian, I wouldn't be anxious." He shrugged again. "You'll use them well. If anything, I'm ashamed that you find my value reliant on Regirock and Regice."

He extended a hand scarred from Dynergy. Then, he clenched the hand into a fist.

"I gave you my body. I threw it onto the pyre so Regirock could be ours. This is all that's left of me. Despite that, I will continue to give. I'm just the gift that keeps on giving."

There's a moment where the admin meets the underboss's gaze. There's an unspoken question, there. A query about Theo Beckett's loyalties. It's as if a bond of something beyond Team Rocket was threatening to form.

"What my underboss advises, I strive to accomplish." The admin closed his eye and bowed his head. "As you say."

He doesn't tell Theo that the release from Rocket Admin would be one of bliss.

The Pokeball is taken, and the moment is lost. The admin tossed it up into the air, and it cracked open. Regirock towered over the buildings in this phantasmal world, and any attempts from the Distortion World to sever it seemingly fail. The world doesn't seem to desire the golem's destruction.

It was, instead, celebrating its return. This was its home, after all, before its original trainer had disappeared into the bowels of this corrupted world.

"But I'm serious, Theo. There will come a day where I fall, and it will on Team Rocket to ensure these golems remain active. In the case where I fall, you all must continue my work to create a world without Eternatus."

At the mention of the Skeleton Gigantic's name, the golem twitches, before marching forward. There's something in the air, and the golem can sense it. Regirock's massive body scrapes against the fishie store, destroying it as it marches forward.

Towards its destiny.

Towards the closure that owed it.

the bowing head doesn't quite feel the same coming from this particular admin. it is certainly respectful but it is also humorous in a way he cannot describe. he doesn't comment on it, however, and allows the conversation to move as regirock forms over them, its presence grand enough to call for his immediate attention.[break][break]

his eyes water as he blinks dust.[break][break]

"there are others better suited to continue your work. others more ambitious."[break][break]

his fishie store crumbles before his watery eyes.[break][break]

"others more compatible with your titans."[break][break]

As Theo talks, Howard simply cocked his head in response. Occasionally, it's forgotten that the admin is a simple bookkeeper. He generated wealth for Team Rocket and snapped his fingers to make gold appear, but his strength came from other sources. Howard Slayte was not strong. His golems were. Team Rocket was.

Thus the light of power shined through the admin's transparent body. It was his, but it did not come from him.

When the underboss mentions compatibility, Howard simply laughed, his voice echoing through the dark recesses of this alternate world. He starts walking after Regirock, his hat fluttering as he did so. After a moment, he turned to face his superior.

"Are you human, Theo Beckett?"

what should be an easy answer gets muddied the more he considers it. what does it mean to be human? he once thought himself as less to cope with the inhumane acts they sought out to do in kanto, and later again in johto, then hoenn. but now?[break][break]

"less than others, once. now, far more than my peers."[break][break]

he follows.[break][break]

"If you're human, then you have as much of a right as any to hold these giants should I fall. You are compatible, because I say so."

He followed Regirock between buildings as the golem marches on, clearly looking for something.

"And have more faith in our colleagues. Even now, they are human. It's not the body or the mind that makes us who we are, but our will. As long as Team Rocket keeps trudging forward, we are human. Even if we're reducing to nothing, we are human. We are heir to something that Necrozma and Eternatus can only steal."

He clenched a fist.

"Regardless of if I'm worthy or not, regardless of if you are worthy or not, we are people." He blinked once. "I wish you could see that."
