THE PRIMAL RIFT IN ONE OF HOENN'S DESERT RUINS expands and fluctuates. Though it is possible to enter the rift by foot, those who wish to avoid getting sand in their shoes may opt to teleport into the rift's expanding area of influence.[break][break]

Upon entering this scorched, punished world, the hairs and furs of your characters and their Pokemon may begin to rise. The electricity screams through the mess of cords and wiring that flex beneath your feet.[break][break][break]

Again, she finds herself in Ultra Plant. The entire air thrums with electricity, the ever-present smell of ozone is impossible to escape. Spider webs of wire criss cross the ground, disturbing in the organicness of their structure.

The pink-haired nurse in the group is part of why she volunteered.

The redhead had plenty of experience in this place. She’d even acquired a new bud here—a tangle of wires known affectionately as ACDC. The thick rubber soles of her boots weren’t just a punk accessory here. They helped protect Madd from shocks. A pair of rubber gloves were wrapped around her hands. “Really wish they’d repurpose this place.” She sighs as a hand runs down a wire. “All this power? I bet we’d never have to pay another electric bill.”

Arceus, her hair is probably a mess. She's glad there isn't a mirror Ultra Beast.

Behind her, two towering Pokemon walked. One is the slim Xurkitree mentioned earlier. He dances nimbly from wire to wire, resembling an amorphous spider. Directly behind her is an Obstagoon. It’s obvious he’s uncomfortable, his muzzle twisted into a grimace. Each lightning strike set his teeth on end. But he didn’t like Madd journeying with a bunch of strange weirdos alone.

Her eyes narrow as their path is cut off by what looks like a fallen spaceship. It’s wedged between two plates. A glance upward—where electricity sparks between oversized Tesla coils—makes her think going up is suicide. “Pretty sure we need to go forward.” Her voice is clipped. “AC, can you—”

Yakuza steps forward with a shake of his head. Though shaking, he seems ready to go. “All right, bud.” Madd offers with a nod of acceptance. “Do your worst.”

The bulky badger charges the obstruction with a Double Edge.

The skies above were darkness incarnate. Brief pulses of life sprang from the heavens above as lighting flashes could be seen off in the distance. The pulse of energy here created an audible buzz along the protective suit that Rose and the other had been required to wear here for their own protection. A part of her had found the idea of ruining her hair for a day plus not worth the trip, although in the name of sciences, sometimes sacrifices had to be made. [break][break]

Among the small group she was in was Madeline McKenna, the woman she had stumbled into during a chance encounter at Petalburg. This version of how appeared far more affable, in Rose's professional opinion. Yet that little bit of fear nagging at her in the back of her mind would never leave. That image of Madd, covered in blood and brain matter, burned itself into her mind. Rose couldn't allow it to happen to the other woman again. Even while the group would begin to make their way to progress, Rose found herself stepping beside Madd, perhaps a little more forward. [break][break]

"A ship? Out here of all places..." Rose commented as the group stumbled across an unidentified spaceship, tangled in vines of copper wire as the world itself appeared to reclaim its metal husk. Before anybody can think twice, she's on it. The Obstagoon beside her charges forth to try and blow the ship out of their way with its full might. The doctor's brows came together in worry for Yakuza's safety. Hopefully he could handle any residual electricity from this.[break][break]

A pokeball was drawn from Rose's uniform as she tossed out her Mimikyu. The ghost inhabiting the Pikachu display landed with a soft thud onto the hardened earth beneath the group. "Help him out, Creepy. Destroy that ship!" Creepy dashed over towards the ship blocking their way as both of his ghastly claws came together, surrounded in bark until then ressembled a giant WOODEN HAMMER that Creepy sent smashing down at the ship.

The electricity in the air was intense as Evelyn expected from the Ultra Plant. Ultra Space was so different from the Borders—far more exotic. She silently hoped they wouldn't encounter an Ultra Beast on the group mission. "It would be nice to have that kind of electric power," she mused, "but then we'd just end up in yet another power struggle with league over it. Hardly seems worth the trouble."[break][break]

The electric charge was giving her hair a frizzy nightmare, souring her mood further, but the promise of new discoveries kept her going. She wasn’t quite sure what to expect here. A ship? Some kind of technology, maybe from Megalopolis? Either way it was their way and it needed to go. Bringing a Water-type into an electric area was reckless but she could always get another Vaporeon if this one didn't make it through.[break][break]

"Now, be careful not to hit any other Pokémon. Hydro Pump!" she instructed, her tone sharp and decisive. With ease, the Water-type obeyed, unleashing a powerful torrent that surged forward, smashing into the mysterious object ahead.

absinthe is reluctant to come to ultra plant, but if evelyn is here then she feels she must be as well.

the group approaches the downed spaceship and absinthe lets her hand drift over the dusty wires. there is science to be done. she frowns under her mask, allowing her hand to stay against the metal for a moment longer, electricity thrumming against her palm. her mind is wracked with her history at the power spot and she nearly recoils from the ship, her hand suddenly feeling like ice. still, absinthe can not afford to be weak.[break][break]

"how interesting," she murmurs, voice wavering. she presses down on a wire with one finger and watches it sink beneath her touch before springing back up. she knows this feeling. she knows this ship. there's something painfully familiar about it, as if she's seen it before. absinthe shakes her head to clear her thoughts. she cannot afford to lose focus.[break][break]

absinthe watches with an impatient, critical eye as rose's mimikyu, evelyn's vaporeon, and madeline's obstagoon attempt to destroy the ship blocking the group's path. the ghost type's wooden hammer strike is admirable, but does little against the metal husk. likewise, the water type's hydro pump sends the ship skidding backwards on the ground, but stops far short of shattering it completely, leaving much to be desired.[break][break]

absinthe takes a sharp breath, one that resembles a hiss, and steps forward. her black garbodor materializes beside her from a puff of dark shadow, its body pulsing and bulging in unnatural, liquid movements. it's almost a living shadow, and for a brief moment, absinthe sees the same in herself. a mere shadow of who she used to be, twisted into something unrecognizable by the world she lives in.[break][break]

"if you want something done right," the chemist mutters, more to herself than anyone else, as she narrows her eyes at the ship. "explosion."[break][break]

at the word of command from its trainer, the sludge pokemon moves with surprising speed towards the ship's carcass, and then explodes against it in a burst of foul-smelling sludge and dark energy. chunks of metal, wiring, and trash spray the surrounding area, clattering to the ground in a rain of scrap. the garbodor is nothing more than fluttering pieces of refuse now. absinthe's voice is low and intense.[break][break]

"that should do it."

Evelyn’s Vaporeon whined, clearly distressed by the electric charge in the air—but that was the least of their problems right now. "Jerk," she muttered, her voice cold with irritation. She shot a venomous glare at absinthe; if looks could kill, she have been vaporized on the spot. She could hardly believe was covered head to toe in garbage.[break][break]

"Honestly, this is what it’s come to?" she snapped, brushing bits of refuse from her boots, which were now stained with a thin coating of slimy black muck. Her hair—usually sleek and polished—looked like it had been struck by a lightning storm, and she wasn't sure if it was the chaos of the day or her mounting frustration that made it feel even worse. "You could have given me a heads-up! A warning would’ve been nice before you blasted the ship apart and cover us in a disgusting pile of trash."[break][break]

She grimaced, catching a waft of the smell clinging to her clothes. "Do you even know what’s in a Garbodor’s body?" she asked, her voice dripping with disdain. "The amount of scrubbing it’ll take to get this stench off me…” She lifted a piece of her shirt away from her nose and grimaced.“Some things don’t come out in the wash.”[break][break]

With one last look of disgust, she sighed, rolling her eyes. "Next time, try not to turn us into a living garbage dump, would you?"

“Good point.” Madd acknowledges Evelyn’s worry with a sigh. She was surprised she’d never seen Cillian Quinn and Fernando Silph throwing down on Black Friday. The factions squabbled over everything like anorexic alleycats. The idea that they now shared Sootopolis was laughable.

The Obstagoon staggers back from his strike with ringing ears. He shakes his head trying to quell the noise. Only happenstance allows him to dodge the first two grunt’s attacks. As the other two step in, the badger took a moment to nurse his pains.

“Creepy, huh?” Madd questions Rose offhandedly. Sure, her names were stupid, but she never compared any Pokemon to a nasty old pervert. Still, the little creature’s Wood Hammer was pretty solid. The Hydro Pump collided with the weak spot. But the metal wasn’t breaking or shattering. It was just bending. “Maybe we should play with tempera—” Her brow rose as Absinthe stepped forward.

That woman’s next protest earns a scowl. But there’s no time to protest.

She hears the order. “Shit!” The redhead threw her arm over herself as garbage and steel rained down around them. An Obstruct from her Obstagoon stops most of it, but a rotten banana peel smacks into her face with a wet squelch.

“Well. That’s one way to do it.” Madd murmured as the potassium curtain slid off her face. Anything she was going to say was cut off by Evelyn's complaining. And, since her sentiment was the same, she didn't see any reason to protest. The redhead did, however, take a few steps across the now opened pathway.

Hopefully, there were no dirty hepatitis needles in that bag.

"I'm not good with names..." Rose admitted to Madd, shooting her an apologetic glance. It wasn't her fault the Mimikyu had met her by launching itself directly at her during the spookiest month of the year. She only thought it would be fitting that the Mimikyu's name be something Halloween related. Was that wrong to due to ghost types. "I've been getting better at it though!" [break][break]

Focusing back onto the situation at hand, the combined might of a Hydro Pump, a Wood Hammer, and a Double Edge hadn't been enough to damage the ship currently in the middle of their path. A new plan of action would be needed if they were going to get anywhere. "We m-might need a new approach to this. That ship must have a reinforced hull or something." Madeleine had offered a possibly solution until one of the Pokemon near the ship would have suddenly began to glow in a fierce light. [break][break]

An explosion happened, followed by fragments of the Garbodor raining down upon the group. A hand raised to defend herself from the resulting shockwave of materials. Something hard sliced through her hand, causing the doctor to yelp in pain while turning her back to the concussive force to shield her wound from becoming infected.[break][break]

Unlike the rest of the team, Rose had not been so fortunate to dodge most of the airborne sludge. A stray splatter of garbage hit her directly in the chest. The force behind the impact had knocked the wind from her, followed by smaller droplets embedding themselves in her hair. She wasn't a neat freak by any means, but the idea of this viscera being stuck had made her uncomfortable. [break][break]

The stench from those stains on her clothing had been enough to make her gag. She reached up to slowly use a free part of her uniform to wipe some of the mass away from her. and find a clean way to wipe the pain away, at least. Rose swapped her Mimikyu out for her Chansey, who went to work on the fresh wound. Blood seeped from the cut. It wasn't deep, maybe a small chunk of iron grazing the surface of the skin without hitting anything important.[break][break]

"Please warn us next time you try something with a poisonous Pokemon again! I feel like I just swam through a septic tank..." Rose complained, doing her best to pick pieces of vomit green garbage of out of her hair. Evelyn at least shared her sentiment, although in a much more openly hostile manner. As right as she was, it would be pretty harmful to the effort here. [break][break]

Right after Absinthe would respond and potentially start a fight, Rose hurried between the pair. The Chansey tending to her hand wound fussing about her sudden movement. Of course, the smell coming from her was enough to merge with Evelyn's or hopefully mask it partially.[break][break]

"W-We, ah, should be able to move forward now that the ship's not there! Let's try and most past it, shall we?..."[break][break]

Arceus, she wanted to take a day long shower...

absinthe is acutely aware of the irritation she stirs in evelyn, but the knowledge settles cool and untouched within her. her stance remains steadfast, shoulders squared, her expression unyielding. she watches evelyn’s exasperated fingers comb through her hair, the hint of an apology catching on her lips but remaining unsaid. when evelyn’s gaze turns to survey the last fragments of debris from the ship blocking their path, absinthe briefly contemplates offering that apology—not out of remorse, but simply because she knows evelyn’s patience has genuinely worn thin with her recklessness. everyone's has—madd is tearing a damn banana peel from her face, for arceus' sake.[break][break]

rose steps in then, gentle but firm, an attempt to bridge the tension crackling between them. something twinges within absinthe—a faint, reluctant spark of guilt mingled with admiration. she respects the younger woman for this act, for taking on the role of peacemaker, even as she cradles an injured hand. it is an empathy absinthe herself would never admit to; even now, her lips tighten slightly at the sight of rose’s wound, the pang of another’s pain stirring something she resents acknowledging.[break][break]

yet she can’t quite bury her impulse entirely. her hand slips to her pocket, fingers finding her wallet, and with a quick, practiced motion, she retrieves a card and holds it out to evelyn—an olive branch. "take it," she says, her tone clipped yet sincere. "you can buy a whole new wardrobe when we get back."[break][break]

most notably, there is no apology proffered to anyone else, the selfishness of a woman so accustomed to being on her own on full display.[break][break]

she knows evelyn’s pride runs deep, that independence and dignity mean more to her than any material gesture. but perhaps, she hopes, this small act might placate her partner, at least for now. tucking her wallet away, her movements deliberate and poised, she steels herself, pushing aside the emotion that flickered, unwelcome, to the surface.[break][break]

"let’s move," she declares, her voice steady but evasive. "before any more complications arise."[break][break]

if they must venture into ultraspace, then she plans to tackle it swiftly and decisively. lingering won't improve matters, after all.

“No one’s perfect.” The redhead murmured in response to Rose. The clumsy naming was definitely a pretty harmless trait. Especially since it wasn’t super offensive. The name wasn’t a racial epithet or anything. Still, it was good to hear that nurse was working at it. Maybe if she kept at trying to leave Rocket, she’d succeed one day. But the fact that she was here showed how well that was working.

Madd watched the trio around her devolve into argument. Her own ire was quickly washed away by the other girls. She watched silently as Absinthe stepped up to Eve. “What about my wardrobe?” A hand hovered over the stale pack of cigarettes in her coat pocket. But a deep breath stymied the urge. It wasn’t exactly time for an emergency cigarette. Nobody was dying.

As Absinthe pushes ahead, Madd does the same. Her Obstagoon lopes behind her. Blood sizzles as it drops from his nose to the wiry expanse beneath. Anyone familiar with her would know it was too fast. Though she avoided the worst of the debris (thanks Yakuza), she still had an arm coated in sludge. As they neared the next part of their trial, the woman reached out a hand to ‘steady’ Absinthe.

“Careful.” She murmurs about nothing in particular. Maybe it’s a warning. Reality? She just wants to spot up the exploder’s wardrobe too. Make the team match for once. But that warning soon was gifted a purpose.

Ahead of them was another chunk of fallen metal. It looked like a Tesla coil gone awry. But they might be able to clamber over it? Seems almost too easy. “I wonder if it’s—one sec.” She grabbed her Blastoise’s ball to bring a water-type to the field. A Hydro Pump or something should kick up sparks, right? Like toasters in bathtubs?
