[attr="class","monty"]Petalburg City was a demolition zone. At least, that's what it appeared to be, if Montgomery hadn't known about the attack that happened the same day in Sootopolis.

If he thought sootopolis was bad, petalburg was even worse.

And behind every disaster, folklore began to bloom. People were claiming that those citizens and Pokemon that were killed in the carnage of war were raised from the dead, intent on grabbing revenge for their deaths.

Montgomery didn't believe that. Folklore was kindled by grief, and this city was heart broken.

Still, he came to investigate, less there be trouble afoot by Rocket in the area.

Seeing the once-beautiful Petalburg City in its destroyed state made Josh's blood boil. An anger that Josh could feel as the RAINBOW FEATHER, even in its inert, faded state, throbbed and sparked, making him flinch from the mild electric shock. Capturing a Ranger Captain and doing Arceus-knows-what to her was already a felonious transgression, an unforgivable war crime.

That it was who had been forcibly removed from the now-ruined city made things personal.

Still, Josh was nervous. He knew how tightly-patrolled the Rocket-occupied city was. Even as a Champion, he could never let down his guard. In opposition tallying sufficient numbers, even an Avatar could be made helpless. With his Sacred Ash Raikou still on the mend after the violent clash with , he was down his mightiest weapon and partner, leaving a hole in his inner self.

"I'm sorry, but can you go over the briefing again, please?" Josh asked the cowboy as Eriette floated just off the ground, the Spectrier silently walking toward Petalburg with the Gym Leader in her saddle. Even the normally loud Type: Null next to the phantom horse was quiet. "It's already risky for me to be out here. Let's do what we came here to do and go." How reliable was the intelligence of being transferred to Petalburg? Was it true? Or was it a false lead, a honeypot fabricated to entice those close to her toward Rocket's clutches?

[attr="class","monty"]Montgomery surveyed the land, not quite spotting anything out of the ordinary. The only thing that felt off about petalburg was its change of control.

He recalled 's concern about his home being located on the outskirts of newly claimed Rocket territory. What'd she do to him now, knowing that her lover was walking toward the heart of the city with the intent to investigate?

She'd fucking kill him.

But, the Rocket scientist didn't need to know that.

His eyes cut toward , who sat atop the spectrier. Already complaining? Or was he just nervous.

"There's tales of ghosts 'round these parts. The spooky nonsense that comes after destruction. We needta see if there's a real issue or not. And, may as well gather some intelligence while we're here."

He glanced at the horse, about two inches taller than he, and scowled. "Might wanna get off 'er. She'll attracted as much attention as I do."

From a Poke ball, he released Pipsqueak. "Dim yer lights. Go up 'n see if ya can spot something from above," he told her. The blue light she emitted dulled, enough that she'd appear as a shoot star in the sky.

A snap came from behind. The deputy turned quickly.

"Drop."

Josh was not complaining; he was simply cautious. Perhaps overcautious. "Simple enough," he answered. "I'm just a little concerned that this is bait to get me out here. I knew Captain Nariya personally, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to use her to get to me." Though little was known about the female's capture, she was strong. She could be a Champion herself if she put her mind to it. The conditions for her capture had to have come on suddenly, like a Pyroar waiting in the brush ready to pounce.

When asked to dismount, Josh blew Montgomery off. "If detection is the issue, Eriette can go ethereal. Good luck finding her unless you've got a ghost Pokémon yourself." The ghost-type mare snorted, knowing just as well as her trainer did that she had that extra dimension most Pokémon didn't. Being able to take Josh with her into that cold and inhospitable world was a godsend for as long as the Champion could last.

Not a split second after the deputy told Josh to drop, he and his steed instead vanished into the ethereal. Not only would they avoid whatever he warned him about, but they might be able to see some of the ghosts haunting Petalburg...

[attr="class","monty"]There was a bit of annoyance that crossed Montgomery's face, barely noticeable in the way his lips thinned and his jaw tightened. The deputy wanted to bite back that maybe he should listen to someone who'd been on this side of things before.

Instead, he bit his tongue and refused to indulge information that wasn't necessary to the gym leader.

Montgomery flattened his body to the ground, peering over the small incline to see if anyone had emerged. He was expecting a rocket grunt or two to be passing by.

But what he saw was nothing. It was as if the sound of twigs breaking was a figment of his imagination.

"The hell..."

He perched on his elbows, peering through his binoculars once more, as the call of Pipsqueak squealed through the air. She'd spotted something, and it alarmed the illumina skarmory.

Waving his hand to nothing — because he assumed that Josh was still around — Montgomery stood and took off in the direction of his bird.

When he found her, she was on the ground, clearly distressed. But he didn't see anything. "Ya spot anythin'?" he asked the gym leader.

Perhaps Josh should have listened to Montgomery; a Pokémon as large and as loud as a Spectrier wasn't exactly stealthy; Sidewinder may have been a better choice. Even so, he loved the ghostly mare enough to use her despite not being the best Pokémon for the situation.

Eriette galloped across the ethereal back side of Petalburg's outskirts, only to find a horde of Misdreavus and Mismagius. More disturbingly, the spirits of Petalburg's rebels were present, unable to escape to the Border thanks to the ghost-types trapping them within the twisted maze of plaster, wood, and metal that was the western city's ruined districts. A ruinous omen that had wrought.

Returning to Montgomery's side in a great burst of speed from the back half of PHANTOM FORCE, Josh relaxed his legs and pulled back on her reins, Eriette obediently slowing to a stop. "Misdreavus-line Pokémon. Lots of them," the Champion reported. "Be ready for illusions and hallucinations. They're very tricky Pokémon." He hadn't seen the destruction of Petalburg firsthand until now. It made the state of Sootopolis look like a thriving municipality by comparison. "So many people died... and their spirits can't get to the Border. Think you can handle the Pokémon if Eriette and I try to lure them out?"

[attr="class","monty"]Montgomery managed to calm Pipsqueak, who sheltered under the long wingspan of her trainer. He could only think of one thing that she might have seen.

Regice. Destruction.

was every present, even now. He scowled, spitting on the ground.

"I should be fine with 'em. Bring them out."

He'd try to prepare while Josh went ahead and created a trap of sorts. However, another rustling noise emitted from nearby. And when Montgomery turned, he spotted-

Hoards of people. Most of them donned bullet holes, oozing blood down their faces, their clothes, onto the ground. They were pale and decayed. And they all pointed at him.

"Murderer."

"Devlin!"

"On it," Josh replied, he and his ghostly steed vanishing into thin air; 's call of his name would go unheard. The momentum of Eriette's PHANTOM FORCE was difficult to control, the equine galloping across the ethereal Petalburg with great speed. So much that not even the Misdreavus and Mismagius could avoid the brave duo. What they had in ectoplasmic strength, they lacked in reaction time. Reaction time that would enable Josh and his partner to interrupt SHADOW BALL attacks aimed at them.

Many of the ghost-types were trampled underhoof, screeches grating at the rider's ears. The ones that managed to escape to the material world did so alongside Josh, the Spectrier letting out a loud whinny from zooming back into the material on the speed of the back half of PHANTOM FORCE. Despite his adrenaline pumping, the Gym Leader remained silent, knowing letting it all out in a whoop would no doubt attract attention from nearby Rocket patrols.

The remaining ghosts would find themselves subject to the cowboy's wrath.

[attr="class","monty"]Josh gave Montgomery's mind time — albeit a short span — to recover from the ghostly attack. Pipsqueak was out of commission for the time being, understandably so.

He released dhelmise, the anchor floating alongside the deputy.

"Give 'em hell."

A pause... before an explosion of water surrounded the misdrevus and mismagius swarm. A whirlpool began to suck them in, pulling them with forceful gravity in the water.

Montgomery saw clearly now. There were no more apparitions, daunting him, calling him a murderer. Instead, he was saving the people of petalburg from an oncoming swarm with the aid of Josh.

He felt all the more powerful for it.

Try as they might, the lured phantoms could not resist being drawn into the Dhelmise's mighty WHIRLPOOL over Petalburg's beachfront. All the while, Josh and Eriette jousted back and forth across the swirling water's edge in an effort to chase any stragglers into water they could not escape from. Aleph's X-SCISSOR handled a few more, whether it was by direct strikes on the soul gems or chasing them into the Dhelmise's vortex.

Petalburg had been saved from one threat, but was still captive to another. A more complex one that would require the entire League working together to reclaim. "That's one small step to freeing this place and making it beautiful again," the Champion sighed, realizing how much more they as a larger group had to do. "Great working with you. Thought about dropping by Mauville Racing Grounds? I think you'd like it there."

[attr="class","monty"]There was a tired ache in Montgomery's bones as the threat of the ghost attack disappeared. He sighed, coming to sit on the ground as he brought his hand over Pipsqueak's iron feathers.

To Josh, he grunted.

"I'll think on it. Fer now... I wanna go the fuck home."

As much as Josh didn't want to admit it, riding through the ethereal had worn him out, too. He was less physically tired and more mentally tired, having to deal with the ethereal noise that was not present in the material world. Such was the price of traversing a highway meant only for ghosts and not humans.

"Then let's," the Gym Leader offered. "Eriette and I will take you back to your home city... wherever it may be." Provided Montgomery was willing to accept the lift back, Josh would ferry the cowboy to his destination on clacking, phantom hooves.
