SCHEDULED END: SEPTEMBER

KEY PRIMAL POINTS

THE VOTES ARE TALLIED QUICKLY. However, dahlia goode soon realizes there is a troublesome tie between Fortree City and Meteor Falls. Both locations have their merits, their cons. But her mind travels elsewhere.[break][break]

She recounts her conversation with Alexei Ivanov. Since he desires so much to be in the know, to be a part of the plan, then she would offer the opportunity to him. She breaks the tie quickly- and above the table, the key primal points are designated as follows, by vote:[break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]

• Desert - 11
• Petalburg City & Woods - 9 (six for woods)
• Granite Cave - 7
• Fortree City - 5

[break]

MT. PYRE is also included, for it is already preordained as a key point.[break][break]

YOUR DECISIONS HAVE ALTERED HOENN'S FUTURE.

GRIEVANCES, DISTURBANCES

THE MEETING MOVES TO ITS NEXT ITEM. Grievances, disturbances, and reports. A vague, broad swathe of a bullet. However, dahlia goode's voice is quick to establish the tone.[break][break]

"it has come to my attention that there may be those among us that do not wish to follow protocol or order." The Commissioner states sharply. Each word presses upon the next like Falinks marching forth into their own footprints. "those within our government, our initiatives and gym circuit who have not voiced gripes and have only stirred dissent."[break][break]

"i am not asking for blind obedience, but i would like to remind everyone that i am the commissioner of the hoenn league and i will not stand for sabotage from within my cabinet!"[break][break]

The Commissioner stares at everyone as if to scrutinize weakness from their pores.[break][break]

"illeana reyes, i have already mentioned your careless experimentation of primal points. for this reason, i have promoted Eva Morales to head professor of the region, and she will be your superior. similarly, Katherine Fairburne, the machine you were tasked to install a primal crystal in reported an obstruction of a foreign object... team rocket deems us as helpless, incompetent and disorganized— and to contribute to that perception in both of your operations is tantamount to treason."[break][break]

The Commissioner leans back in her chair. Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu hover beside her, extending the back of her seat into a formidable throne.[break][break]

"and Laurence Anderson, you have been muttering away during your deliberations. would you be so kind as to enlighten the rest of us with what you are saying? is there something the matter?"[break][break]

A beat.[break][break]

"thankfully, i am a forgiving soul. any further malicious misstep made against the league will be met with swift and severe consequences. is that clear? those who disagree may turn your meeting minutes over to the back page."[break][break]

On the other side of the meeting's minutes is a templated resignation letter. At its bottom, a firm black line is drawn for anyone to write their signature should they so desire.

TO MATIAS

"i have two questions. the first: how were these key primal points selected? do they bear any significance or importance?"[break][break]

"second: it may seem irrelevant since we're sending it away, but what do we think the unidentified mineral is or does?"

"the selection takes into account a variety of locations across the region. western and eastern hoenn. rural and urban or remote."[break][break]

the next question is tinted with a hue of concern.[break][break]

"we have no way of identifying what the material is or does."

TO LARS

"another question to add to the pile—are those… where the crystals going to be placed—does range matter when activating them? Like do they have to be close by. Or can they operate even over long distances?"[break][break]

"Okay, I might be missing something else here, but how are you going to place one of these things at Sootopolis if it’s occupied by them? What’s the chance they’re not going to wreck it or steal it for their own use?"

"that is why the plan specifies when the primal points will be activated. when the meteoroid enters the troposphere. when activated, the fired beams will travel until they come in contact with their target."[break][break]

"sootopolis is still our city, but the concern is valid. we may not place one in the crater city after all, but the option has been provided for your consideration."

TO EVA

"eva, i understand that you are scared. uncertain. we are bearing the burden of so much. too much.[break][break]

but we have survived our worst days. should further disaster ensue, we will adapt. overcome. we will find solution after solution after solution until we untie every single knot we've made along the way.[break][break]

as it stands, we are more informed than ever before and you dare not resign in our darkest hour. but i can not stop you.[break][break]

you may continue to research alternatives. tend to rayquaza should it miraculously heal in time. that is service enough."

TO ILLEANA

"oh illeana, it is because of your reckless incursion that allowed for sea hoennians to come through. not the opening of rifts. when the primal points are used, they teleport the meteoroid immediately when the beams touch.[break][break]

you on the other hand, decided on your own accord, two times we believe, considering the data on hand about the use of a ghost-type Z-move, to tamper with the primal crystals rather than install them.[break][break]

we will speak of this yet."

ABOUT SEA HOENN

"if we believe that the dark triad has interfaced with sea hoenn, all we can do is ensure that our plan is as concrete as possible.[break][break]

there is no way of knowing and to spearhead specific moves on conjecture is dangerous.[break][break]

i hate to disappoint you all, but it is highly unlikely that sea hoenn will cooperate with us. should we rely upon their help or stratagem, what will stop them from sabotaging the operation last minute resulting in our destruction? and currently, we have no way of warping to land hoenn.[break][break]

for those interested, feel free to arrange a meeting with the sea hoennians in the dimensional pocket. however, do understand, that you would be revealing information to the enemy and would potentially harm the integrity of this operation.[break][break]

if the enemy does not have information already, that is."[break][break]

Her eyes focus on illeana reyes before she leans back in her chair.

THE METEOROID

"ah, you raise a good point, kazimir."[break][break]

At the click of a trackpad, the Macro Cosmos Media article changes to reveal an image of the meteoroid. The same image Yui Fujin Silph and Martín del Mar had been able to procure from Mossdeep in late July.[break][break]

"simply blasting the meteoroid apart carries its own complications. resulting shrapnel and debris that makes its way to hoenn can be devastating in their own right." The Commissioner explains, voice crescendoing toward the end. "and how would that meteoroid break apart? have we a clue? that exact volatility is why my plan using the primal points is the only way path we have."[break][break]

She clears her throat, gesturing to the image.[break][break]

"this was delivered to us by mossdeep space center. the meteoroid appears to be made up of the standard fair. silicates, nickel-iron, and an unidentified mineral that has been described as crystalline and obdurate in appearance."

NOTE: Lulu Flint and her instruments of astronomy would be able to discover this as well, especially if Martín del Mar relays the pilfered information to Team Rocket. In particular, the meteoroid may prove to be an interesting source of energy and resources...

The Commissioner looks to John Sullivan, Eva Morales.[break][break]

"failure is not an option. however, we can devise preliminary back-up plans. it would not hurt for tapu lele to assist with rayquaza's recovery, if you and the pokemon are able."[break][break]

The image is minimized and dragged to the corner. In the image's original place, a document entitled the 99943 METENO PLAN (CONFIDENTIAL) expands.

99943 METENO PLAN (CONFIDENTIAL)

THE PLAN

The 99943 Meteroid Impact will require the deployment of the AQUA INITIATIVE, all active GYM LEADERS and other necessary League personnel, as this is a region threatening event.[break][break][break][break]

PRIMAL POINTS[break]
Primal points, machines housing primal crystals with the precise clarity, color, and carat weight for dimensional teleportation to SEA HOENN have been set up all around the Hoenn region. These machines can be oriented and angled for proper aim.[break][break]

Striking these primal points with a MEGA EVOLVED POKEMON'S ATTACK or Z-MOVE will cause the machines to funnel the created energies toward the incoming meteoroid, causing it to warp into SEA HOENN. Several primal points are needed to warp an object of the meteoroid's size and velocity.[break][break]

As soon as the METEOROID enters the troposphere, the primal points will be activated to ensure swift teleportation.[break][break][break]

PRIMAL POINT SELECTION[break]
The League must select four primal points to designate as key primal points. These primal points will act as the main primal points with larger cuts of primal crystal. Should any of these fail, the remaining primal points will be activated as reinforcement.[break][break]

MT. PYRE will be designated as a key primal point due to its elevation. Groundskeeper samuel carter will be notified by the League of this development soon. MT. CHIMNEY is to be avoided due to dimensional instability in the area and potential residual primal energy.[break][break]

The choices of these key primal points are as follows:

Granite Cave, Desert, Meteor Falls, Mossdeep City, Slateport City, Sootopolis City, Rustboro City, Fortree City, Petalburg City & Woods, New Mauville.

Please cast your vote for your preferred FOUR LOCATIONS.

ROLES

[attr="class","ynospace"]

• Commissioner, Council, Head Professor and Head Scientist may operate from The League Emergency Operations Center in Ever Grande City should they desire.
• AQUA Initiative members and Elite Four will be deployed on the ground and in the air to ensure no interruption or interference of operation around key primal points.
• Gym leaders and/or their gym trainers will be assigned to primal point locations for protection. They will also be the ones responsible for striking the primal points with mega evolved Pokemon or Z-moves. Should a gym trainer be responsible, the gym leader may join the Elite Four for additional assistance.
• League Officers & Rangers will be deployed throughout the region for crowd control, safety, and surveillance in case of Team Rocket activity.

[break]

Communication devices will be distributed for information items, live updates and securing timing of operations.

Upon PENELOPE LIVY's ascension to the vacant council seat, she will be informed of the most updated version of this plan.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN

"please voice and or write down your choices for four key primal points." The Commissioner says. "this is also a time to ask questions, voice support or criticism of the plan, and any other general discussion in relation to the meteoroid impact event itself."[break][break]

She looks to everyone. Stern-eyed, but still with the softness of her physical features.[break][break]

"after all, according to your recent reports, saving hoenn from the meteoroid may mean the destruction of all other universes. ones we do not call home. the veracity of that statement is yet to be determined if it is at all possible."[break][break]

"even so, as commissioner of this region, i will do whatever it takes to protect it."
