HAPPY HATSUMODE [m]

ZAC

Happy Hatsumode
Petalburg city | mission



THEME

Zac smiled, eyes full of tears, as he watched the couple reunite and pour their hearts out. He hung back. This loving exchange went on for a while, and it warmed his heart to see two people, already so in love, brought even closer together by their shared enjoyment of Pokemon. I was there to help her start that journey, Zac realized, and he thought back to the picnic they'd had so many months ago. What a happy ending.

Michiko handed Zac the Pokeball, and he beamed. "For me? Really? No, no, you shouldn't have!" he said, hitting that perfect mix of bashful, thankful, and flustered. "Well, if that's the case, then here's a little something for you." Zac handed Michiko a Pokeball of her own. It was as bright and red as the little apple dragon inside it. Applin would no doubt find a place in Michi's cherished collection of cute, round, tiny Pokemon. "Thanks a million to you Michi! You're the best friend I could ask for. Happy New Year!"

"Maybe one or two," Zac said, returning Sam's smile. "How do you think I got a hold of the Groudon Canon?" 

The memory of their evening fireworks fight left Zac grinning like an idiot, but his mouth opened wide in gaping wonder when he saw the inside of the tree. 

From outside it had seemed like a regular, everyday, giant, magic tree. But from inside. "It's like a slice of a different world!" Zac said, looking around at the alien flora. The plants grew in steady, illogical spirals, twisting as if pulled by foreign gravities. The fruits were gorgeously misshapen, all ovoid and elliptical, their rinds in glowing shapes of aqua, lavender, and burgundy. "Mate...we've gotta bring some of these back," Zac said, plucking a few samples and stuffing them in his bag. 

Underfoot, Zac's GRASSY TERRAIN sprung sprigs of terran grass and flowers. Little patches of home among this garden of distant delights. 

Zac sent out a few of his Minior. The balls of green and yellow shot off through the foreign foliage, taking footage of the new biome. "Have you ever seen anything like it?"

"I'll be fine," Zac reassured her. "The place isn't that bad. A few boards and nails and it'll be-" Zac was interrupted by part of his bathroom collapsing. "-fine!" He barreled on. "I've lived in worse, anyway. I've got a tent, and a torch for when the power gets knocked out." There was a deep bellow as the Rydon clashed in the backyard. Rocks the size of bowling balls blasted the side of the house, punching deep into the wood and cracking the kitchen windows with their impact. Zac sighed. "Okay Michi, I'll be honest, it's gonna be a bit rough. Especially with all the milk everywhere. I don't want to impose though. You've got your peaceful little slice of suburbia, and I need lots of space for work anyway. I appreciate the offer, but I'll make do." Zac sat down on an unbroken chair. "And if things get worse I can always move into the factory."

"Whoa! A plate?" Zac brushed off the dirt, scattering the strange soil across the polished table and the tatami floor. "Mate these things are rare as Torchic's teeth. A few weeks ago I had zero and now I've got two?" He brushed off the dirt, and set the brown slab down on the table, close at hand. "You know those vines we grew? Well they stopped. I smashed the concrete floor and broke a hole in the ceiling, and I've been watering them every day." Zac stopped, taking a moment to wipe off the dirt that was accumulating on the plate. "Nothing. They haven't grown a bloody inch since then. Maybe we need more of these guys to keep the greenery coming!" He brushed dirt off the plate, adding to the growing pile all around him.

"Howzit goin Michi? Of course! Always a great time to talk," Zac said as he answered the phone. He was outside watering his spontaneous herb garden, and he grinned as some Budew waggled and waved in the spray. He stuck his thumb over the hose, turning the jet into a wide arc of rain. The Budew squealed and jumped in excitement. "The cave garden? Yeah I remember it. Ahuh. Him? You mean Poturtle? Yeah he should be there, right?" Zac chuckled. "You did plant the carrots on him after all."

There was a scream on the other end, and the line went dead. "Michi? MICHI?" Zac dropped the hose, grabbing the phone with both hands as if he could squeeze answers from its waterproof flip-frame. "What happened?" He asked, but the Budew didn't answer. They were too busy rolling in the growing puddle. "Don't worry Michi, I'm on my way."

Buggle brindled at the attention, but remained cool as the Skitty army sniffed him. Having come from another trainer, the Zeraora was full of experiences that Zac wasn't privy to. Maybe this was normal for him?

"A present? Thanks mate! Now I feel like I should have bought you something." Zac tore at the wrapping. "Is it a present for Buggle? He's been a bit restless since I got him. You mentioned something about toys but he has just destroyed all the little squeaky or catnip ones I got him."

"I was there at the ceremony man! Quite a spectacle. I didn't know you were such a battler. Guess all that training with and the gym battles have been paying off, ay?" The whole award ceremony had been a crazy whirlwind of trophies, cheering, and legendary Pokemon. Multiple new avatars! I guess it should have been expected after the summer event last year. "No ten year old could have won that trophy, mate. You've grown up a hell of a lot since we met."

Zac leaned back, drinking the rest of his cola and tossing the empty can into a crate marked 'recycling'. "Bulu hasn't said anything to me ever. At least nothing that wasn't a grunt, a moo, or a snore. Why?"

Thick branches and broad, strange leaves rustled as Zac snuck through the opening and into the Tree of Life. "We've gotta stay quiet," he whispered to Sam, as the pair slunk from bush to bush. "It's not often we get a chance to sneak around, and I don't want to have to call in any Rocket favors to get out." He winked at his adventuring accomplice.

Zac nodded earnestly, listening to the overlapping yowls of Ki's band of cats. "Ki. Before we get down to formalities and serious business, there's someone I'd like you to meet." he said, reaching into his pack. He turned back to the table, a single Pokeball resting reverently in his huge hands like a grape in a cup. Zac pressed the release on the ball, and a zesty, brilliant yellow cat burst out. He didn't need a cushion. Instead, the Zeraora leaned against the wall, whiskers twinging. "This is Buggle."

"This is the old factory floor," Zac said gesturing expansively at the dirty concrete. "The massive vats over there can each hold tens of millions of liters of cola! They're empty now though." He said, banging on the side of one. It echoed emptily. "All the production was moved to the new place near Lilycove."

"And over here is the, uh, the vines." It was a mess. Thousands upon thousands of dark vines had laid claim to a vast section of the factory. Zac had broken the ground beneath the original growth, and the roots now extended deep into the loamy soil. Up above, they tore through the old steel ceiling, seeking the sunlight. From outside you could almost see the top. This place had been meant as a safe haven from wild growth, but now it was almost as overgrown as his old house. The vines were dormant now though, their bust of growth from the Arceus plate all used up. 

Zac cleared a space on the singular couch he'd been able to save and offered Doug a seat. He sat down opposite his friend and tossed him a Charja-Cola. "How ya been mate? It's been a while!"

Zac couldn't picture Bulu doing training. Hell, he had a hard enough time picturing the bull just walking around. Tapu Bulu seemed to have two modes: Attack and asleep.

But mental training? There was a vast, mental disconnect between Zac and his legendary partner. Tapu Bulu had restless, roiling dreams -Nightmares?- that made establishing a proper connection nigh impossible. It was like trying to tune your TV to static. Zac, meanwhile, had a mind that was restless in a different way. He buzzed with electricity. Racing after ideas like they were spring Bunnelbys. It was worse now that he was buzzing with caffeine. 

"Training your mind, ay? And what does that entail? Like meditation? Because I can see Bulu maybe doing some of that," Zac said, as he heaved aside a chunk of stone. The sand was starting to thin, and they were hitting stone more often as chunks of ruin were being unearthed. "Meditation is like, uh, controlled sleep, basically, right? Calming a raging mind."

Zac vs Melody [Rhythm Badge]

The poison gas flowed in, surrounding them like stage fog. Were it not for the sickly purple pallor of the vapor it would be almost atmospheric. "We've gotta get up! Come on guys!" Zac said, and he pointed up at the dozens of planets that were suspended from the ceiling by hearty steel wires. 

Zac grabbed up Greg, who was tuckered out from the Protect. He slid the exhausted monkey into his inner pocket, along with the remains of his broken twig. Greg was out of this fight. "Up!" Zac called, but his Pokemon were already moving. 

Doduo sprung upwards, their wide feet digging into the surface of a Jupiter. Busta faired just as well, propelling himself into the air with a gout of azure flame. Zappa sprang into the air, crackling between the wires and finding a little orb of his own. REM flew. Easy as that.

That just left Nyx. Melody's Musharna pulsed with PSYCHIC power, and the gas rolled in around their ankles. Vines from the DRUM BEATING lashed at Zac and Nyx, binding them to the floor as the poisonous gas rose higher. Zac felt is burn at his bare feet, the noxious fumes eating through his disco pants.

"You've got poison gas right?" Zac asked, frantic, as the floor started to beat and pulse underneath them. Nyx nodded. "Can you do some sort of...anti poison? Like cancel it out?" Nyx shook his head. The gas reached their waists. "Okay, well, what about Metronome?" Nyx nodded enthusiastically, whipping out his little silver disc and cord. 

Without preamble, Nyx closed his eyes, and the Metronome began. Slow, sonorous notes struck with each swing of the charm, as if the disc were sliding across some tuned, metallic surface. The gas didn't slow or lessen. "Come on mate!" Zac said, encouragingly. Nyx's eyes opened. They were aglow with determination and backbeat.

Nyx used RELIC SONG

 Suddenly, Nyx's metronome split into slivers of black and white, and the air came alive with funky synth and rhythm as the Hypno went to town, laying down some phat disco jams on their psychic keyboard. The song was fresh, it was hip, and yet it struck a long untuned chord deep within Zac. It was the disco that his parents would have danced to. It was the music his grandparents would have dreamed of on a starry, hope-filled night. It was an ancestral bop. The tune transcended time. It crossed boundaries of understanding, plucking right at the heart chords and pounding on your diaphragm as it spoke with a universal language: disco.

Zac looked up at his team, let out a wild, unrestrained cry of joy, and they hit it.

REM tuned in to the song, blasting it through the roof and sky with his BOOMBURST. The backing bass melded with Nyx's jams, creating an orchestral alloy.

The dual PSYCHIC and the soaring ENERGY BALL bore down on Zappa, and the lizard chirped in worry, fleeing along the wires that held the planets above the dance floor. The powerful attacks followed, blasting a dozen hanging spheres to glittering powder before knocking Zappa out in a well-timed BA-BA-BOOM


Poison gas rolled in, fast and hard
Greg 'fainted' (knocked out from exhaustion)
Busta, Zappa, REM, and Big Habanero escaped upwards, onto some hanging planets
Nyx used Metronome (Relic Song)
It was funky af

Zappa was knocked out by Psychic 2x + Energy Ball
Some of the hanging planets exploded into shimmering powder
REM used Boomburst to amplify the bass of the Relic Song

"Of course!" Zac said, and he rushed over to his signature golden explorer's pack. Since his jacket had been melted in the excursion, it was the only remaining part of his Arceusmas gift from Delibird. 

"One for you," Zac said, tossing a gold-tinged shovel to Kazimir, "and one for me!" He pulled out his own golden shovel, and stomped the sand three times. It started to rumble, and Kev the Steelix burst upwards, looking around for the source of danger. "No problem here mate, don't sweat," Zac said, slapping the side of the metal serpent. "It's time to dig. I know sand is rough, but reckon you can help with a tunnel?" 

Together they started digging down, with Steelix churning the sand, and Zac and the crew doing the delicate point work. There was something below them and the last thing they needed was Steelix ramming its way straight into some ancient treasure. As they worked, water turned the fine sand to compactable mush, and the magma from the pair of Heatran melted the sides of the tunnel, securing it.

"It grows plants in its sleep," Zac said, tossing another shovel of sand over his shoulder. "I'm not sure it's really a hobby at that point. That's like recommending breathing as a hobby." He thought about how Bulu's plants grew uncontrollably while the legendary slept. "Though maybe a bit of structure and control would be a good thing."

"Nah, nah. It's not belief that's lacking mate. It's spectacle!" Zac tossed out a trio of Pokeballs, which burst into buzzing aqua and yellow streaks as the Vikavolt shot along the beach. The air thrummed with their electronic buzzing, and Zac laughed. "And what's a glamorous soda ad without a pair of little cuties on my arms?" He sent out two Charjabugs, one green and one red, who crawled happily along his shoulders.

"Take two!" Zac called, and the camera crew scrambled to readiness. "Energy! Where does it come from?" Zac asked, grinning right down the barrel of the camera. "The sun? The ocean? Chemicals? Love?" He shook his head and held up a can of Charja-Cola Passho Plus+. "Nope! The best energy comes from space!" A Vikavolt shot past, ruffling his hair and making the cameras spark.

"With the refreshing citrus tang of Passho Plus+, you really feel like you're sticking a straw into ultra space and sucking out the juice!" A Vikavolt shot past again, and the main camera exploded. Zac took it in stride, switching his grin to the B camera for the last line. Sparks showered him, catching on his beard and shirt as he took a deep draught of the Charja-Cola. "Passho Plus+. Taste the wormhole!"
