"a noivern. you'll see him soon enough."

if she decides to show up at verdanturf, that is. he is not a gambling man but he'd bet on her to appear. she seems too curious not to. too invested in him for whatever apparent reason.

silas does not notice her swiftly adding her own contact into his phone. he will eventually because there are only a finite number of contacts registered but until then he will have to live with not knowing.

the SIGNAL BEAM goes out; so that's how it works. it doesn't take him long to realize that he needs something extra because of porygon2's abilities. thankfully, she has a gengar keychain.

"is gengar your favorite pokemon?"

disbelief. he takes his phone back and looks at the program, analyzing every detail displayed. this could prove to be revolutionary.

"how long ago did you join rocket?" though she hasn't actually said it, he can assume as much. not many feel comfortable enough to wander into slateport all on their lonesome.

silas allows a pause to occur, lasting no longer than a second.

"no."

noivern doesn't flinch from the PLAY ROUGH. the pain that comes from the brutal attack is familiar. years upon years of training has made sure of it. so noivern is able to hold on, grip still tight with his talons sunk into the body of the mightyena.

one flap of his wings and up it soars with the dark-type in tow. their close proximity restricts mightyena's movements enough to allow for a simple SUPER FANG to connect. the higher they go, the less chances the dog has of surviving.

silas sighs. seeing the electric-attack redirected that easily is frustrating. but no matter.

"do it."

a low yet harsh voice prompts an unseen move to take place. from the shadows of a building, delphox ROLE PLAYS like some loser in his basement and swaps her abilities. with LIGHTNING ROD now in her possession, she leaves herself open to be recalled back into her pokeball.

there's nothing to stop their attack.

whistle.

another DISCHARGE jolts for kyle.

"a little."

echolocation is something that must be learned when training a noibat, and silas has had his for years. from a little noibat to a mighty noivern, silas knows how the pokemon communicates and more importantly, how it sees. to see it utilized in an application like this is astonishing, to say the least.

"hm," is all that escapes him as a response to her words. he is impressed, sure, but he's not going to let her know it. not yet.

silas raises an eyebrow at her next question.

"you want my phone?"

he almost laughs at the audacity of it; of her; but he doesn't. instead, he fishes out his phone and extends it over to her. anything confidential is encrypted regardless, but he has a feeling she'd know her way around it.

"i do."

a second of doubt might prove to be kyle's downfall.

noivern's booming DRAGON PULSE is cancelled out by a mirror attack of the same caliber. no surprise is evoked, however, as that was never the point of the attack. it acted as a distraction for noivern to shift his weight off the building, curving down before shooting straight towards the mightyena.

TAILWIND blurs the dragon-type's true speed as he latches on to the mightyena, sharp talons digging in as he attempts a SUPER FANG.

"why aren't you running?"

heroism is not an uncommon thing but it is foolish, and silas will make the officer regrets his choice because unlike the league, silas is not chained by the morality of what's right or wrong.

hidden under the burning yellow of electricity, luxray's CHARGE goes unnoticed before it's too late. DISCHARGE cracks forth, whipping out of the dark-type as the attack flies not towards the manectric, but towards its trainer.

that is what separates rocket from the league.

REFERENCE THREAD

THIS NOTE WAS ADDED ON 12/11/2023 BY SHIV

ROCKET INVASION: FALLARBOR THREAD: CLICK HERE

this is his doing.

this is his legacy.

people are littered through the crowded streets. most are in a frenzy panic, rushing as they shoulder and barge through the rest to make their frightened escape. some are more collected and choose to stand their ground. no matter how noble it may be, silas can't help but think of them as idiotic pests who won't accept their inevitable fate.

in front of him stands his luxray who stalks with a familiar swagger to his movements. the ELECTRIC TERRAIN seeps through the soles of his paws, flowing along his entire body as it fuels him. DISCHARGE eliminates one, two league officers and their pokemon in one hit, both electrifying and electrocuting.

noivern has free reign over the town with his endless BOOMBURSTS that ring and pierces through the streets, bouncing off of concrete as it echoes along narrow pavements. he soon lands and perches atop one of the buildings, wings tucking into his body as his ears perk up in preparation.

luxray stops, too.

"what is it?"

in front of them stands a league officer. as perceptive as silas may be, the officer is not worth anything for him to remember seeing him at the docks in the earlier invasion. but it doesn't change the fact that the luxray recognizes the manectric.

"oh."

so that little shit is responsible for almost killing his precious luxray. there's no need for talk. without even looking up, silas is prepared.

whistle.

noivern's DRAGON PULSE booms towards the manectric and its trainer.

from behind them comes the same gengar he had mocked for carrying a parasol which it hands to erin. crossing his arms over his chest, silas watches as the gengar slips into the rubble, blending into the deep shadows before re-emerging not long after with an interesting box its hands.

"it works after all. what a surprise."

silas had not expected much out of it. he has no reason to. all he knows about the girl is her name, where she comes from, and why she's here (even if her answer was vague).

taking the box from gengar, by force if necessary, he holds it in his own two hands but doesn't open it yet. but, like a child on their birthday, he gives it a little shake.

"tell me more about the program. i want to know how it works."

whether he didn't hear or chose not to hear is besides the point. what matters is how she responds to his question, and the words that leave her bare mouth manage to hook on to him, reeling him in with cautious intrigue.

"show me."

erin taps the screen of her phone and for moments he's lost. but then, right before his very eyes, he sees it form: the intricate designs and layout that web the vicinity together and even beyond that, shows its secrets.

"hm."

the monotone in his voice hides his true excitement. her invention could prove to be useful.

"there."

with a single finger he points to a singular red dot on the screen in the shape of a box. its oddity comes from its isolation, buried underneath nearby rubble.

"a test to see if it actually works."

slateport has its secrets – that much is known to silas, a man cursed with power that refuses to rest, not even for a moment. it has been weeks, months since he brought slateport down and still bits and pieces of information, of resources appear every now and then. today will be no different, not by chance, but because silas wills it so.

her voice calls out to him.

“no. but it looks like you do.”

her dress tells him as much. his eyes linger for a moment though brief. their footsteps echo across the empty streets filled with nothing but despair. it is that emptiness that he relishes.

“what do you want?”

teach me.

if erin is perceptive enough, she'd be able to see the slightest hint of a grin appearing on his face. it lingers just for a few moments before fading, stoicism taking its usual place.

"keep your phone on you."

silas' words are mysterious and he doesn't bother to help her understand. he recalls his metang and steps past her, feet sinking into the sand with every step.

he stops by her.

"you might want to keep an eye on verdanturf."

and with that, he takes his leave.

something grander. how precarious. her words resonates within him as the silence grants him moments to ponder, to assess, to size up this unknown entity that stands before him. this is a fresh encounter; it has been a while since he's had a genuine conversation.

erin: a name he will remember.

she further prods with a stick of intrigue, jabbing into where she suspects to be vulnerable. he shifts on the sand, pocketing the pokeball as he spares a glance back at her.

"your gengar was carrying a parasol."

a rare joke from the rocket boss, but nothing more than that. no chuckle, but perhaps just the slightest upturn of the corners of his lips.

"there's a lot you don't know. be careful while you learn, erin."

silas repeats her name with added flavor as he rises from the sand. his shadow stretches with his movements as he finds himself staring back at her.

"i'll help you find proof."

similar to luxray, priam's zoroark jolts forward with immense speed that fades it into a blur. masked under the shadows of the night, zoroark moves through each sableye precision, striking precisely and with calculated power just enough to sink the few.

"your zoroark is strong."

with no more ghost-pokemon in sight, at least for now, silas turns to look at the acclaimed peach tree. there is wonder in his mind about the importance of it, for he cannot comprehend how such a thing holds so much significance that warrants protection. it also raises the question of why the ghost-pokemon were attacking it in the first place.

to find out its true meaning, silas must return. but for now, he turns to priam, dawn breaking.

"the mission is done."

her answer is a defense mechanism so he chooses not to acknowledge it. her real answer comes after, and he listens with every bit of interest, absorbing each word with genuine curiosity interwoven with caution, because silas is not one to open up, but he knows the nature of the game they are playing.

"have you found it?"

proof is not hard to find in hoenn. she might not be aware of this, but it is through corruption that allowed silas to embed rocket deep within hoenn, in its very hierarchy responsible for upholding the stability of the region. look to the past council before it was reformed and she'd find at least half of them working for him.

"you wouldn't be able to either way."

her threat is recognized, valid, but he invalidates it instantly. the metang floats back over with the pokeball in its hands, dropping it on the sand in front of silas. picking it up, silas takes a moment to trace his fingers over the grooves of the sphere, feeling every bit of detail.

"silas."
