"You can't avenge Dewford. Howard sighed as a large chunk of ice in the golem's body shifted like a sliding door, revealing the malignant star that sat in its breast. A Wishing Star gleamed with malignant energy, masking Thomas's Pokemon in Dynergy as they approached. "What even is there to avenge?"

The star flashed red, releasing a Dynamax Cannon in conjunction with Howard's Tera Orb. The light turned Stellar as thousands of alternate Regices were folded into one. Yet across the multiverse, this one was special. Only this Hoenn's giants consisted of those built from Eternatus's bones. Only this Hoenn's giants were commanded by one man. Only this Hoenn's Regice had itsheart opened as Dewford burned.

The tin soldier marched on.

Without Dynamax to hinder Terastal's advance, the admin was able to release a remarkably impressive Dynamax Cannon towards Mordred, intent on incinerating the knight.

'I am a warrior.'

. The sheriff. Galar. The Pale Rider.

"No, you're not. I've only known one Warrior, and you're not him. YOU WILL NEVER BE HIM!" The admin roared as the magenta blast rushed forward. "Tapu Bulu avataring doesn't change anything! Your land spirits don't care about you! You're just a tool!"

The Nature's Madness hit and engulfed Regice and Howard in an explosion.

"Watch me!", Thomas called out to Howard coldly. "The lives that were broken and lost. The memory of the town, before you burned it to the ground."

The flash of dynergy did little to deter the two fighters. Mordred rushed ahead, valiant as ever in his defiance against the golem. Despite this, the Ceruledge stood no chance against the Dynamax Cannon.

"Mordred!", Thomas cried out, as his Sygna Suit was forcibly depowered by the fall of his black knight. Thomas rushed to his partner's side, checking on him. For a brief moment, Thomas' mind was engulfed in horrific thoughts of loss. Another close companion taken by Rocket's hand.

Thankfully, Mordred's plumage burned, albeit weakly. "Thank Arceus.", Thomas muttered, grabbing his well-maintaned Dusk Ball, and recalling the black knight.

"Maybe not. But I'll be whatever it takes, to see our mission through!", Thomas retorted.

"Thomas! Do you hear me?", a voice called out into Thomas' head.

"Koko!?", Thomas responded in his thoughts.

"Yes, now, let's finish this fight!", the Land Spirit implored Thomas.

Thomas tossed out an Ultra Ball towards the field, as if he was lobbing a grenade. Upon landing, a hulking Scizor emerged from the capsule. Immediately, Ripper proceeded to perform a Swords Dance, hyping himself up for what was to come. Tapu Koko proceeded to mirror the hulking Scizor's moves, performing a Swords Dance of their own. The use of Mirror Move allowing him to gain some much needed strength for what was to come.

The explosion dissipated. When the smoke cleared, the admin was on his knees, breathing heavily.

Two against one. The admin fingered his belt as if searching for a Pokemon to pull him from this venture. Regice had torn through a large swath of Thomas's team, but the issue was that Thomas still had several Pokemon left in reserve, and his were far stronger than Howard's.

Without Regice's Dynamax and with his Terastalization used up, Thomas had quite the advantage. Howard would've killed to have Regirock right now.

"What...?" His eye flicked from Tapu Koko to Thomas, unaware of the Telepathy occurring between them. "What's going on? What're you two doing?"

No. had made a mistake with deploying Tapu Bulu and Tapu Koko. This was an error. She had messed up in relying on them. Their track record was terrible. How many times had Tapus bonded with humans, and how many times had those humans failed? How many times had the Tapus marred pristine tapestries with their flippant nature?

"I respect your commitment. If only you were still Elite Four..." Howard clenched his fist. "...whaetver."

Regice slid forward, the nearby terrain getting flattened by its Superpower as it rushed forward. Yet it stopped as the admin shouted a word. If that golem marched off, it would lose to Thomas Benoit. Rather than continue a meaningless fight with a stronger foe, the admin would choose a different path.

"You're not a warrior, but... The admin's mouth opened once, twice, thrice. "...you can be. What is a warrior?"

Thomas didn't answer the inquiry. All he did was stare at the Admin with piercing, harsh eyes. Thomas rose to his feet, fighting through the pain he was in.

"I don't need to be Elite Four to kick ass!", Thomas spat back defiantly.

Before he could order his companions to attack the Regice, the man suddenly posed a question to him.

What is a warrior?

"A warrior is someone who has been grisled and seasoned by prior conflict. But more importantly, a warrior is someone devoted to their cause. Willing to put their all into it, ready to shed blood, ready to completely sacrifice themselves for their beliefs! Willing to do whatever it takes to see their aim through!", Thomas answered the Admin.

"I realize just how flawed the League is. How often they've screwed up. But I'll do whatever it takes to reform them, to better them! I refuse to allow the tyranny of Rocket to take hold over the world!", Thomas declared.

"A true warrior doesn't need a sword, Thomas."

Though Thomas's answer was perfectly respectable. It scratched an itch in the admin's memory that few had ever bothered to scratch. A distant memory of dusty groves and a garden rang in the archaeologist's ear. The answer was acceptable. It was proof that humanity had not yet failed.

Their speceis would continue to triumph.

"But you fought for your beliefs, and you won. I can't fault you for that." Howard's eye shut behind his visor. "Hm."

A decision was made.

"Rustboro."

Thomas looked at the Admin, confused by what he meant. A warrior didn't need a sword? Was he talking about his use of Tapu Koko?

When he answered with Rustboro, Thomas was even more confused. Did he just disclose a location for his target? Frankly, he didn't expect that intel so 'easily.'

Though easy was not something he'd describe the battle with Regice as. Far from it. But he expected Admin Fox to be far more stubborn about such intel.

"You told me you wouldn't sell out a fellow Rocket before. Why the change in tune?", Thomas finally questioned the Admin.

Thomas remained cautious, wondering if this was some attempt to get him to let his guard down.

"Because you still have to find him. You still have to beat him. You still have to get your revenge."

The admin's breath frosted beneath his helmet, cold and hot. It reeked of shame and old tobacco and alcohol and shame as he regarded Thomas. A reminder that Thomas had beaten Regice, not Howard Slayte. A reminder that the archaeologist was fallible and that Thomas was, despite everything, strong.

The archaeologist's body was frail. His power was not earned. He had not trained. Yet all the same...

"But if I see him fighting you, I'll help him. If you're trying to chase Miyazaki, then you must have a good reason. Still, I'll help him if I see you two fighting. I'll be obligated to, because if Team Rocket turns on him, nobody else will have his back."

The archaeologist's lips twitched upward into a smirk.

"Are you still worthy, Judge?"

"Of course.", Thomas responded to the Admin. "I wouldn't expect anything less."

Whether or not he was selling out the bastard, he was still Rocket. Even if it was just to keep up appearances, they'd still back up their own, if possible. Needless to say, Admin Fox wasn't the only one who he had to be worried about. If any Rocket spotted the conflict, they'd likely back up the Kanto scum, at the very least out of obligation.

"I am Judge no longer. But with our without Yveltal, I'll rise to the challenge.", Thomas answered the Admin.

As much as he disliked letting him go, the man gave him what he wanted. Besides, he and Koko were far too battered to carry on much longer. The duo needed to get back to Oldale for some much needed treatment.

"I see." Howard bowed his head once. Unbeknownst to them both, Yveltal would be Rocket's, soon. They would chain it to their whims and use it to dictate the flow of causality. "Very well, then."

Regice disappeared into a frozen Pokeball, and Howard took a deep breath. He dusted frost from his arm, hardly shivering from the chill as he did so. The cold wasn't a problem, anymore.

"If you're really a warrior, you'll go find Tapu Bulu's avatar." Even if Howard had beaten , she had been on the verge of collapse. Pushing herself to that extreme for no visible result puzzled the admin. It had not been Genevieve's resolve that had won her that prize, it had been the benevolence of a land spirit known for its fickleness. "And help her, as only one who knows the curse of such a boon can."

Even if the Judge was gone, that didn't change anything. Thomas was Thomas, regardless of any gift of divine origins.

"Until next time..."

The admin disappeared into the snowstorm.

"...Thomas Benoit."
