THE PRIMAL RIFT IN DEWFORD'S GRANITE CAVE expands and fluctuates. Tera crystals, ice from Regice, and odd dimensional interference have caused the town and its surroundings to be the subject of much scrutiny. After all, Team Rocket and the League have a momentary truce in this area—but signs of this illusory peace's end have begun to grow, especially since its former gym leader (Tsubaki) has gone missing...[break][break]

Entering Ultra Deep Sea is an unnerving experience, for many have discovered that this realm is in fact, the inside of an ETERNATUS. Poisons, festering pools, and the dynergy ever beating within this beast make this trek for resources a dangerous one indeed.

As toxins ooze from the walls like putrid blood, you may wonder what treasures lie hidden in this "living world".

They descend once more into the bowels of a sleeping god. Far above them glows the light of His angels. Vortigern wards them away, the black dragon’s footsteps making the ground tremble. Nothing descends while this monster roams the open wastes of the midnight sea.[break]
Don’t like this.” Says Dewford’s sheriff, freshly roused from a long slumber. After sleeping for months, his own true body feels strange to him. His eyes tilt up, then at the path ahead. “Don’t like this one bit.”[break][break]
It is not the first time he’s protested, even if he understands the necessity of the task. ’s attack has left this place exposed. Nihilego can get out, Rocket can get in. It is prudent for Dahlia Goode’s League to secure a proper hold on this place. His own base, a safe haven carved out of a grotto near the entrance, isn’t enough to house an army.[break][break]
For a simple private eye, you sure got a PC full of Pokemon.” His words are for , but he finds himself looking at somewhere along the way. All of them labor alongside this echo of one they love, a cosmic prank whose punchline has yet to be said.[break][break]
Alright. This is as good a spot as any.” He declares, crossing his arms and nodding down to his Greninja. Hattori wastes no time. Clutches of Nihilego eggs cling to one of the chamber’s walls. If they are to terraform a god’s bowels, they have to clear out the neighbors first. A flurry of water shuriken fly, cutting the eggs free. Gravity does the rest. The monsters inside are born and die shrieking an unearthly sound.[break][break]
And thanks again for coming, Eddie.” It’s ’s job to be here. He’s a soldier, Terrakion’s chosen, a proper knight out of the tale. “We’ll all need to be on our toes when the Nihilego wise up to what we’re doing.” Already, their distant lights grow brighter.

"it honestly feels like one of those isekai shows to have all these under my trainer id," he chimes to . "but it's open for rental for those in the slateport police too, so there's no need to feel bad about me using them."

that's how the past kyle had done stuff to get around work hours— training newly caught pokemon under the pretense of it being related to champion-related duties. kyle, then, makes up a fuss about them not fitting the vibes of his team so he can start over, filling in the scheduled hours with menial tasks rather than difficult ones.

they end up being transferred to a roster of pokemon rented by public security officers to have something against the monstrosities of hoenn while they build up teams of their own. despite his excuses, kyle does find uses for them, as they do now.

a remoraid comes out of a ball. bullet seed blasts a path open alongside navy's pokemon, revealing more of the fleshy substance underneath the layer of eggs.

"do you really spend most of your time hanging around here?" he questions the deputy before turning to . "there's no place like this around verdanturf, right?"

the introvert that he is, he makes himself look busy with bewilderment of ultra sea to avoid addressing . it wasn't that he doesn't like his vibes, but a stranger is more difficult to force himself to act casual with.

not that he can't. he just needs some wind-up time.

a shift of tone from addressing navy and noah would be obvious if he goes straight to eddie. this is a tactical pause so it wouldn't be as obvious, giving him time to adjust to make his words seem natural as opposed to forced.

If Eddie was being entirely honest with himself, this place gave him the creeps. [break][break]

Maybe it was due to the shimmering witchlight of the Nihilego looming above them – Eddie probably wouldn't have given them much thought, were it not for what he had witnessed in Petalburg. On the other hand, his unsettled nerves could have been caused by the fact that they were descending into the literal bowels of a living god to, what, excavate its insides for goodies? It was kinda gross when Eddie thought about it that way, but Rocket would stop at nothing to harness those insides for themselves. They had already succeeded in that once, [break][break]

“No problem!” he called back to with a smile, stuffing down that creeping anxiety and replacing it with unwavering purpose. The soldier did steal one more glance to those hovering angels above, but only for a moment, [break][break]

“Eh, we can prolly take'em. We got a goddamn dream team down here!” [break][break]

Which was more than true, Eddie thought, when he flashed a broader grin to next. It was good to see the guy on his feet, though Eddie did wince at the squelching, uncomfortable noise of eggs crushed and mulched by WATER SHURIKEN and BULLET SEED alike. The soldier reached for a little momento from home, and out came a Toedscool in a beam of red, [break][break]

“Alright, Eubert, looks like we're on cleanup duty.” [break][break]

Which was the landbound squid's cue to do his part, too. With a little squeak and a click of his heels, the Toedscool ABSORBed what nutrients could be found in the remnants of the clutch. That was, uh, not exactly the strategy the soldier had in mind, so Eddie grimaced with distaste and recalled the the Pokemon with as much haste as he had released it. [break][break]

He glanced briefly to , too, and found the sight of him almost as unsettling as the Ultra Beasts above. Maybe it was better that the former Champ seemed to be avoiding him, in some way; Eddie felt some strange fear creep in again, like he was looking at a ghost. Hell, he had even seen the guy's ghost, or a thing like it, not all that long ago. But if the others in his company treated his amnesiac presence as just another oddity of Hoenn, who was he to question it?

Don’t, uh, put it that way, man…” All his easy smiles and confidence fades into a sheepish retort. Remembering the face Eternatus wore in a distant dream, that of , cleaning out its bowels evokes macabre imagery.[break][break]
She’s gone, his daughter; Lost somewhere down in this midnight sea. Some part of him, the part that will forever be a wrathful black dragon, wants to tear these Nihilego apart. One of them could lead him to Tsubaki. One of them knows where his daughter is, lost and alone down in this unforgiving place.[break][break]
Eddie, Noah, and Kyle anchor him to the present, and to a greater task. They must secure this place, guard it against Rocket. and his cabal have proven they will put their own needs above this region’s. Meteno bared Rocket’s true colors for the whole world to see. Rocket’s underbosses would see this region painted magenta if it brought them victory.[break][break]
We do got the dream team. They oughtta-Deploy us together, next time there’s a big battle. There’s so much good-natured masculine bravado in the words, as if war is some game. It’s not. It hurts to look at Kyle, as much as Navy can’t help but look.[break][break]
-get us together more often.” A simple enough finish to the sentence. His smile is back.[break][break]
Navy doesn’t notice the assassin in the dark before it’s too late. Vortigern roars, snapping his tamer to attention. Turning, a Nihilego comes alive with light where before there was only shadow. Its stinger pierces the sheriff’s shoulder just below where Calyrex’s glacial lance took him some months ago.[break][break]
Fuck…” He falls to a knee, conjuring Ascalon and severing the stinger. The Nihilego tries to ward off the others with a caustic acid spray. Poison seeps through Navy’s body, a neurotoxin both Tsubaki and know all too well.[break][break]

dream team, huh?

kyle never considered himself a team player, though he was oddly good at taking up any needed role in a team. that would have been the case before, but today's kyle doesn't have much tools to offer.

"this is what happens when we talk all nice and happy when the scenario doesn't fit nice and happy," he complains as he points his remoraid at the assailant. "antidotes for nihilego poison are expensive as hell."

sourcing them was a different task altogether, forgetting that people like navy or noah, who have a direct connection with the league, can easily procure them.

octazooka is fired, its ink spreading with the underwater-like atmosphere of ultra sea upon contact with the ultra beast. it provides smokescreen for cover, creating an opening for any action.

"is the dream team ready to take mikey some place safe so we can figure out what to do next?"

when there is one, there are many. he doesn't know much about ultra beasts, but if they're anything like bugs, reinforcements will swarm them as soon as they start a commotion.

Eddie's jaw clenched so hard he thought that his molars were going to crack. wasn't some damsel, but for to have some quip about their peril grated him for a moment. At least he had a solid exit plan as the OCTAZOOKA clouded the air around them, hanging heavy in its suspension between them and their aggressor, [break][break]

“Sounds like a plan!” the soldier called back. He tossed another Pokeball, taking only a second to glance between Navy and and , [break][break]

“But I wanna send this fucker home with a black eye first!” [break][break]

A Donphan emerged next with a trumpeting cry and wasted no time in taking its familiar wheel-like shape as it raced through the curtain of black. The ink would be enough to initially conceal its approach, but not enough for it to avoid the next shower of ACID SPRAY that drenched his gray hide in poison. A mere toxin wouldn't be enough to stave the pachyderm's fury, though; ripping through the space with his HIGH HORSEPOWER, Tennessee was already on a collision course with the Ultra Beast.

Eddie took a cautionary step back, ready to recall the Ground-type and book it the moment he got take his eye for an eye. Served the damn squid right, as far as he was concerned.

Not for the first, nor the last time, Navy is grateful for . There are precious few men on Dewford island who could rise to the challenge of fighting Nihilego. Vortigern falls in beside Tennessee, forcing the Ultra Beast back into the darkness step by step, battering it with his primordial outrage.[break][break]
Yeah.” He says to , a word with more falsehood than he likes. Poison courses through his body. This is Rocket’s black gold, the toxin these angels leak. It spurs him to fight them, expel them from this place, join his voice to the chorus—[break][break]
His hand falls to where the wound clots. Barnacles scab across his skin, a phenomenon once dubbed angel kisses. Navy’s grip turns ironclad. The rocky line is ripped off like a band-aid, sending a spray of blood across the ground beneath his feet. Strange ichor seeps out of the wound, forced out by his oath to an old hero.[break][break]
I’ll be fine!” Clapping Noah on the shoulder, he finds strength in his friend’s smile. “Just treat it like I lost some hate points in those games you played with Ga-”[break][break]
His quip is cut short by a burst of magenta light. An angel grows. They take their final ascension. It dances above them in the pale glow of stars and in the dark that bends around its shape. Nihilego, grown large and bathing in its god’s power, thinks that it will never die.[break][break]
Damn it.” Navy growls. “Cyan. You’re up.”[break][break]
An old habit. A bad habit. Mist spreads across this patchy stretch of poisoned land, turned and tilled by strife. Eternatus bleeds beneath them, and He will bleed more before this expedition is through.[break][break]
[break][break]
There is no preamble. There is no pretense. There is no howl. There is only duty, and another foe to be slain in this place. Ascalon glows as Zacian descends, swift as a valkyrie come to carry an einherjar. The behemoth blade, as Ascalon was known in history, glows with blue fury. Barriers explode with violent force, the creature screaming its alien cry.[break][break]
Quick! We gotta take it down while she’s got it on the backfoot!

i'm definitely not part of this dream team.

kyle doubts that he doesn't share the same objective for this trip as the dewford boys. taking as little losses on the way was part of his own equation to reach the end, but his solution gets skewed with incorrect variables.

the appearance of the regal dog proves as such. he's dealing with people who can afford to act with aggression. in the perspective of an npc, sticking with them is ironically the safest course of action.

"if you guys are confident you can get this done fast, then why not?" he shifts his remoraid's mouth back to the nihilego. "am i even needed here?"

remoraid's own acid spray melts away at any defenses it tried to shore up after the initial blow from zacian, keeping it down for any attack to follow through.

taking care of navy's condition, figuring out what's wrong with the 'ground', dealing with any ultra beast loitering around... kyle wonders he has his priorities all wrong, though he won't be surprised if everything works well without a hitch at the end. navy and eddie did seem comfortable enough from having lived in dewford.

The Donphan spun and slipped across the flesh-earth of Eternatus' insides, a runaway tire drifting across the battlefield. He probably wasn't eager to leave the fight, Eddie thought, but the soldier wasn't eager to lose him to the Nihilego that now grew to horrific proportions. Eddie had witnessed this kind of scene before; he knew it was time to bring out the big guns. [break][break]

Besides, dogs often ran in packs, didn't they? [break][break]

“On it!” he barked hastily to . [break][break]

And this time, the next of Eddie's team would not be preceded by capsule or blinding red light. Down the echoing chasm of the sleeping god's bowels, thundering footfalls sounded through the space. There was no need to announce Terrakion's arrival; Eddie would know the charge of a raging bull anywhere, [break][break]

“Up there, big guy!” Eddie called as that gray shape came into view, [break][break]

“We got a giant ta kill!” [break][break]

In the wake of the Sword's tremendous charge onto the scene, thick pillars of earth erupted from the ground, jagged claws of rock and grasping stone. The Cavern Pokemon loosed a fierce cry and suddenly the newly-born stalagmites burst from the not-earth around them. They were hurled through the air by some tremendous, unseen force, the STONE's EDGE crashing and shattering more of those barriers with a sound like shattering glass. [break][break]

Eddie grinned with pride and pumped a fist, [break][break]

“Hell yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!” [break][break]

He flashed a thumbs-up to and . Maybe if he wasn't so swept up in the heady rush of such a brawl, he might have considered the awkwardness of this reunion. On the other hand, Eddie had never been particularly tactful to begin with.

gabe's half-mention numbs noah some. how surreal it is to contend with loss when loss stands beside you, speaking as if nothing has changed.[break][break]

noah watches in awe as zacian and terrakion rip through dynamax barriers. like sugar glass, their violet panes shatter into lingering lamps before the energy dissipates back into their eternal engine.[break][break]

the gym leader throws another pokeball out. as his CHESNAUGHT maintains its defensive stance, a HARIYAMA is quick to join 's REMORAID in a humble representation of the Dewfordian shoreline.[break][break]

boulders from the wrestler's ROCK TOMB crash onto the growing NIHILEGO before the newly created stalagmites catch them.[break][break]

"we need everyone we can, man. this is definitely not the first we'll see today." noah says. [break][break]

with a cheeky wink, noah flashes eddie with a thumbs up of his own.[break][break]

"damn dude. terrakion made the right choice with you." he breathes. "i'm starting to get jealous!"[break][break]
