Nothing To See Here [M][WW]

To be entirely honest, the only reason why the ranger uniforms had been chosen had been because it’s an incredibly common Halloween costume. The idea had occurred to Mars after running into kyle lopez at the central mall, but while the Champion had clearly borrowed some ranger’s actual uniform, the one worn by this particular Petalburg home owner is obviously a poor replica bought at a store. The top portion of it is no more than a t-shirt and a thin jacket (with cadet’s red armband, of course), and as should only be expected, the shirt is one size too small, making it just tight enough to show the signs of what must be rigorous workout schedule.
[break][break]
It’s what anyone would expect from a Halloween costume.
[break][break]
When opening the door to be greeted by the sight of a fellow ranger, the blond laughs.
[break][break]
”Oh wow, look at you… an Elite! Should I be saluting you or something?” He smiles, cheerful as ever, all while the beret-wearing Riolu by his side simply looks up at the “stranger”. The man reaches into the candy bowl by his side then, retrieving some perfectly round candies in purple and gold wrappers. ”Some special ones for my fellow ranger.”
[break][break]
They’re not actually candies, obviously

As per usual, it’s his alarm that marks the end of his jog – indicating that he’s out of time. Mars sighs, slowing down until coming to a stop. It’s only then that he looks at the Eevee by his side.
[break][break]
The Vulpine pokémon, of darker fur than most Eevee and gleaming crimson eyes, meets his gaze, but it does not leave his side.
[break][break]
He doesn’t talk to it, he doesn’t try to pet it, he just waits patiently. The moment the Eevee looks as if it’ll get distracted, he calls it back.
[break][break]
That just won’t do, right?

He probably shouldn’t touch the mosaic, but the complex array of images almost compels him to do so. He steps closer, gently placing fingers upon stone and tracing the carvings while walking beside them. He can see it clearly: the story, the timeline of events. Is this Hoenn’s history?
[break][break]
Familiar symbols call to him, Unown whispering a plethora of words into his mind. Strange markings mingle with what is expected and known, and by his side, the Unown-X points at them while looking up at him. He can’t see them through the Unown’s gaze, only through his. Mars frowns at this discovery.
[break][break]
”...I know…”
[break][break]
A chilling reverberates through the tomb, and golden eyes widen. Had it come from the entrance? Barnaby’s still there.
[break][break]
”Xero.” Understanding without a need for words between them, the Unown rises in the air, hovering by his side, and after taking a second to picture the LANDING SITE in his mind, Mars disappears.
[break][break]
Within seconds, he reappears at the spot where he first stepped away.
[break][break]
”You okay?” Mars asks BARNABY FINCH when seeing him. ”...Heard a weird sound.”
[break][break]
From a Luxury Ball, a Doublade is released in case it’s needed. Ghosts will likely fare better than other pokémon in a place like this. His gaze wanders to the ground, looking for any signs of another presence – perhaps footprints that are not theirs.

While Aidan speaks, the masked man watches him, judgement being passed with every word heard. Pros and cons are weighted as if put on an invisible scale. A decision is made. He could kill him; spill his blood upon this hallowed ground, but what is there to be gained from that?
[break][break]
Aidan Hereford isn’t loyal to the League. Aidan is only loyal to himself and the highest bidder. He speaks a language Mars is fluent in.
[break][break]
He may not be loyal just yet, he may not be trustworthy just yet, but he can be a useful tool if his skills are put to good use. Mars knows this well.
[break][break]
”As per usual, no fucking ambition.” Behind the mask, he smirks, and the blade he holds in his hand spins. ”Do you really want to make an enemy out of Rocket, Hereford? That’s what you became when you chose to stand here for a paycheck: our enemy. Were you someone else, I would have killed you on the spot.”
[break][break]
He could have. He had the element of surprise. The admission is a simple one.
[break][break]
Amongst the fog, the Hatterene exclaims when hit by the SHADOW BALL, but it's within seconds that she retaliates with a BRUTAL SWING that destroys tombstones on its way to slam against the Gengar. They shatter loudly, rock scattering. She’s far from a merciful pokémon, and the same can be said about her trainer. He throws the knife in the direction the attack had aimed for.
[break][break]
It’s then that he reaches for the gun.
[break][break]
It’s as real as the knife had been; no construct that will disappear when far away from him.
[break][break]
”You should consider who you want to work for. The people who sent you to this mountain to get killed protecting a little rock they can easily replace, or the people who could lead you to greatness.”
[break][break]
Does he realize just yet?
[break][break]
Time is limited.

It’s a matter of principle.
[break][break]
The cashier looks desperate and overwhelmed. He clearly wants to stop people from walking out of the store without paying for their products, but he appears incapable of reining in the chaotic situation that has developed due to Hoenn’s state of crisis.
[break][break]
In all the chaos, Mars walks up to the register with all the calm in the world, giving the poor retail employee a cordial smile despite the fact that he’s well aware that Aidan is passing by right behind him with a shopping cart’s worth of milk. Polite as ever, P.O.G Bank’s CEO pays for his yogurt and even tips the cashier, taking a reusable bag and making his way out of the building.
[break][break]
That smile of his fades the moment he crosses the automatic doors.
[break][break]
When he finally meets up with Aidan, Mars just sighs heavily. ”You don’t need to call me ‘Sir’.”
[break][break]
Well, technically he should, given Mars’ position and the fact that they’re not exactly friends, but the correction is made for one particular reason.
[break][break]
”I’m not here on their behalf.”
[break][break]
He means Sinnoh’s syndicate, obviously.

At the western edge of Petalburg City lies a beautiful neighbourhood. The sight of the tall trees in the nearby forest can be seen peeking amongst houses, and when the breeze rises in the afternoon, it carries the distinct brine of the ocean.
[break][break]
On this particular afternoon, children fill the streets, dressed in all sorts of costumes. They go from house to house, requesting sweet treats, and when knocking on one particular door, they’re greeted by a blonde man dressed as a ranger cadet.
[break][break]
He smiles, doing as they request, and by his side, the Riolu that wears a ranger beret stares up at them. Its eyes are bright yellow, and unlike its trainer, it doesn’t look particularly friendly.

”...Melody?”
[break][break]
She dashes past him on her invernal steed, but Mars would recognize that voice and pink hair anywhere with ease. So it’s Porygon that are causing these issues, then. He could choose not to intervene, but he does have a few phone calls to make, and “P.O.G Bank’s CEO helps E4 solve crisis at downtown Lilycove” is always a good headline, isn’t it?
[break][break]
Cash Money is called back, and from a Luxury Ball, his own steed is released in her place – Arion’s spectral mane billowing despite the lack of wind. Mars mounts, and when doing so, he tries to wake his phone’s Rotom.

”Deal with the Porygon.” He tells it just as the Spectrier takes off in pursuit. Soon enough, they reach Melody’s side, and it’s with the smirk that he greets her:

What they encounter next is not a rare sight: a Meditite meditating on a rock, fittingly of its species’ name. They could let this one be as well, especially given that the Eevee seems yet to be unaware of its presence, but Mars makes the decision to stop.
[break][break]
He whistles one particular note and then calls for the attack: ”Shadow Rave.”
[break][break]
They’ll eventually move on to just non-verbal commands using this training as base, but for now, the Eevee understands what the words mean, and it uses its shadow attack in response.
[break][break]
The Meditite doesn’t stand a chance.
[break][break]
”Good. Let’s keep going.”

”Good side?”
[break][break]
The question isn’t particularly mocking, nor is there sarcasm in the masked man’s distorted voice. It’s as if he’s genuinely wondering why anyone would refer to the League in such a way. To him, it’s childish. Good... bad... there’s no such thing. The world has never been that simple. Aidan should know this.
[break][break]
It’s in perfect silence that the Hatterene gathers spectral energy as they speak, forming a SHADOW BALL that is directed towards the Gengar. The attack would have always been a harmful one to the pokémon, but unsure of exactly what she’s dealing with, the MAGIC POWDER has guaranteed its effectiveness by altering her opponent’s typing.
[break][break]
Still dangerously close to Aidan, the masked man spins his knife.
[break][break]

[break][break]
”Shouldn’t a private investigator care more about investigating those he’s siding with?”
[break][break]
Once, in Sinnoh, when spoken by Mars, a comment like that would have been harmlessly teasing, but here and now, spoken by this criminal that threatens Aidan Hereford with a knife while his pokémon is otherwise preoccupied, it’s nothing short of mocking. ”Do better.” Mars thinks.
[break][break]
”Is that what you’re seeking, Hereford? Good? A peaceful life? This doesn’t look very peaceful to me…”
[break][break]
The knife spins, sharp edge menacing.

The fact that Mars happens to be in Lilycove City is a matter of chance: right place, right time. The fact that he also happens to look up to the billboard as it glitches out while displaying one of P.O.G Bank’s ads, though? That’s thanks to the Meowth by his side, who is quick to tug on his clothes and point up.
[break][break]
Said Meowth also appears in the screen up above, but there her face is a mess of pixels in red and blue. P.O.G Bank’s CEO frowns slightly at the sight, and he frowns even more when noticing the people nearby who pause when looking at their phones.
[break][break]
Something’s wrong.
[break][break]
Interference of some kind? Connectivity issues?
[break][break]
He brings out his own phone, and when he does, he notices the screen glitches out too.

Well… that sure is a take. Colour Mars impressed.
[break][break]
A crack seems to form in the often stoic and almost robotic demeanour of the councilman, allowing for signs of lament and grief to show themselves in his confession. Mars can hear it as much as he can see it, and yet it’s not in the nature of someone who lies for a living to assume people are being honest. Lies are always what he expects. Is that what this is? Some clever PR move? There’s no way Silph believes that bullshit, right?
[break][break]
”I remember Tapu Fini.” This time, there’s a nostalgic tone to Mars’ own voice. He had only really seen Tapu Fini once; during the Hoenn Star Tournament, on the day he first met FERNANDO SILPH. He doubts the councilman himself remembers, given all the battles he had taken part in during the tournament, but Mars himself does remember it clearly. He had respected the Land Spirit’s power back then, and despite it all, that respect remains.
[break][break]
He chooses his words carefully.
[break][break]
”I can't even imagine why they would do such a thing...” Rocket had never intended for Necrozma to take the legendary, after all, and the consequences of it taking any legend would have likely been nothing short of catastrophic. Mars forced himself to push away his anger over the damage caused by Silph’s escape – burning those feelings for the time being. ”My sympathies, Fernando. Although, may I ask how you know that she's gone? ...Is this something you can sense as her avatar?”
[break][break]
Is this perhaps a monument to a lost patron?
[break][break]
Yet, as they both know well, in Hoenn oftentimes not even death is irreversible.
