's call to arms echoed off the old, seaworn cliffs surrounding Sootopolis and spurred on from where he'd just contended with the likes of and . Consequently, 's order fell on deaf ears. Admin Bee — and the MOLTRES he rode — was focused solely on RAYQUAZA's descent and its bid toward the DYNA TREE. [break][break]

's pleas were answered — for now. The compulsion to guard the DYNA TREE and its caretaker, CALYREX, was stronger than the desire to beat back KYOGRE.[break][break]

They needed to protect the king and his fruit. After all, the tree harbored power that couldn't be allowed to be lost or stolen from them. [break][break]

"I need backup at the Dyna Tree," Admin Bee called out over comms. [break][break]

An otherworldly screech then thrummed out from MOLTRES' gullet, warning LEAGUE interlopers to stay away, though it hardly slowed RAYQUAZA's charge toward them. As flames licked at the great dragon's lips, MOLTRES spread its wings wide to PROTECT CALYREX from RAYQUAZA's fire and, by extension, 's bullet as well.[break][break]

When a break in the flames presented itself, MOLTRES then flew in close toward RAYQUAZA and released FROST BREATH near the tender areas of its head and neck, though it was ready to nimbly dodge away, if necessary.[break][break]

The din of war rang loud against the rock and sea. [break][break]

KYOGRE's ORIGIN PULSE — with its incredible concussive force — was enough to send MOLTRES spiraling down toward the turbulent waters below. Through the dizzying fall, held fast to his patron as it attempted to right itself in the air. As they neared impact, he could feel the spray of an angry ocean on his skin just before the LEGENDARY BIRD'S wings unfurled and sent them aloft once again.[break][break]

They'd failed. As flew over to idle beside him and contact other operatives, Barnaby could still feel the intense hatred simmering inside of him, stoked by CHIEN-PAO's presence. As if feeding off this energy, MOLTRES let out a low, sinister hiss, its carmine flames flaring around its body.[break][break]

"We need to regroup and reassess the situation." He called out across the storm toward , adding grimly as RAYQUAZA loomed ahead, "Things have changed."

COMMUNAL CURRY #8
POSTED ON Jul 30, 2024 23:58:50 GMT

's curry entry

[break]
thread summary: Post-Prismatic Penitentiary, is faced with a choice. Having learned of 's betrayal from during their stint in the poisoned prison, he is forced to revaluate his relationship with the underboss.

Does he confront her? Or let this slight pass?

A man of many masks, Barnaby relies in part on his anonymity to operate within ROCKET and to interface with the LEAGUE. When his identity as 'Admin Bee', including a general physical description, is relayed to by , he knows that his grip on her isn't as tight as he'd once thought. Recognizing that her loyalty to him is in question, he decides to play the long game.

Their encounter ends with the dissolution of their relationship. In the end, Elisabeth finally admits aloud that she loves him, but he lets her go nonetheless — for now.

why is it important?: This thread marks a turning point for them as Hoenn heads for its War Arc. What better way to lean into Ruination than 'ruining' a longstanding relationship?

Except it's not ruined, at least in 's estimation. He knows . Her anxiety, her desperation, her yearning for validation and acceptance. She wants him, needs him. But she's crossed a boundary with that can't go without consequences. It's a tactical gambit on his part — pushing her to the periphery — but one he's confident will pay dividends.

In the meantime, he focuses on next.

All my love to Scarlet MWAH ♡ Here's to another fun chapter ahead!

was barely able to return his fainted SHAYMIN to its Poké Ball before an intense, wailing blizzard overtook the area. With this conjured storm came a deepened, nearly-blinding feeling of hatred toward both and . A small part of him knew that this was CHIEN-PAO's influence, but he didn't really care.[break][break]

He leaned into the hatred, recklessly urging MOLTRES on toward the MOONBLAST, willing to let his patron take yet another blow if it meant he could get closer to the GARDEVOIR and DUSKNOIR. The beam hit, sending MOLTRES careening to the side, but gave an opportunity for Barnaby to conjure a swath of shadow-infused flames around 's Pokémon. [break][break]

barnaby can unleash a powerful burst of shadow-infused flames ONCE PER THREAD, creating a persisting area of effect that damages enemies and hinders movement by inflicting deep fatigue.
[break]

In the tumult of their battle, saw freefall and yelled, "JAYDEN!"[break][break]

A groaning cry then called out above the blizzard, reminding them all that KYOGRE's return was imminent. Suddenly, a barrage of beams shot out from the horizon, hitting the crater wall surrounding Sootopolis City. In tandem, a series of explosions also ignited along the rim, causing rock and debris to fly into the air before hurtling into the sea below.

The mask crumbled before he even reached the door to his bedroom. Scars returned, hair receded — the illusion faded just as quickly as the pained expression he’d used to hurt .[break][break]

What remained was a man laid bare. Devoid of the emotion seen only moments earlier. And so, so tired. [break][break]

But there was still work to be done. [break][break]

Sitting at the edge of his bed, Pepin curled at his hip, brought his phone to his ear and waited for to answer.[break][break]

Silence hung in the air for a beat — enough time for Barnaby to compose a longing tone of voice.[break][break]

. . Unsurprising accomplices. made a mental note of their involvement on top of all the other pieces of information Howard had provided for him. [break][break]

Now, it was time to end their meeting.[break][break]

I’ve heard enough.”[break][break]

Darkness receded into the corners of the room and light returned to Admin Fox’s dingy office.[break][break]

Forget our little chat for now, Howard. Continue plotting as you have been.” Barnaby instructed, his voice as soft and sweet as the fire dancing in the other man’s eyes. “We’ll talk again once everything is over. Only then will you remember this conversation.” [break][break]

With that, the flame was snuffed out.[break][break]

In the coming weeks as prepared for his heist on Dewford, internal obstacles to his subterfuge and deception would miraculously dissipate: incriminating CCTV footage deleted, manifests altered, operative schedules changed to best fit his timeline, etc. Small, inconsequential things that would go unnoticed — unless someone took the time to look.[break][break]

He’d probably think that it was fate, that he was justified in his convictions. He might even be convinced that the fruition of his plans meant that his indomitable human spirit had somehow triumphed. [break][break]

And while Howard schemed to kill a god, The Infernal, as always, bided his time in the shadows. Watching. Waiting.

Human will was inherently flawed, just the same as human nature was. Designed to devour at its basest level. It was too bad not everyone, including , understood that. They'd linger longer in this flawed world if so.[break][break]

Still, some were more ravenous than others. And his hunger only seemed to be escalating.[break][break]

"Oooh, Howard." clucked his tongue in faux-disappointment. "You've been a bad boy, haven't you?" [break][break]

With a melodramatic sigh, Barnaby sat back in 's shitty office chair and chewed on the information he'd been provided with for a bit. [break][break]

More secretive than expected, the admin mused to himself, with an apparent chip on his shoulder. Insecure, unsure of his place within ROCKET.[break][break]

But not without ambition. That could be worked with.[break][break]

"How?" He continued, kicking his feet up onto the corner of Howard's desk. A few papers fluttered off into the darkness as he did so.[break][break]

"Tell me your plan in detail. How does Michael fit in? Who else is involved?"

Even as the storm receded due to Lyune's Z-MOVE, could still feel the sticky wetness of blood beneath his armor. Every movement was painful now, but dulled in part to the adrenaline coursing through him — it egged him on to continue the fight.[break][break]

A sharp whistle guided SHAYMIN seaward, toward 's MILOTIC, , and the approaching DRAGONAIR. In an attempt to help the outnumbered serpent, SHAYMIN flew low toward the water and released a volley of AIR SLASHES aimed at 's Aeris.[break][break]

Meanwhile, MOLTRES continued its conflict with the IRON JUGULIS and its Pokémon rider. The consistent teleportation made it difficult to evade attacks or even land a blow, meaning the sudden THUNDERBOLT hit straight-on. could feel the bird buckle in pain beneath him; momentarily paralyzed, the two fell into a freefall. As he clutched at his patron's neck in a bid to hang on, he noted that the ocean sped into view much more rapidly than he'd expected it would. Was this the end? An early, watery grave?[break][break]

"Cro-rown!"
[break]



From the cliffs rang a familiar cry: ROCKET's CALYREX, invested in their organization's success, with a massive DYNA FRUIT balanced above its head. With surprising strength, and the help of its PSYCHIC power, the King Pokémon heaved its fruit toward MOLTRES — who pushed through the paralysis enough to pump its wings and right itself. [break][break]

The DYNA FRUIT was consumed in one massive gulp and showed immediate results. Energy surged through MOLTRES, revitalizing the LEGENDARY BIRD and giving the opportunity to turn the tides of the battle. Brandishing his TERA ORB, the admin directed MOLTRES to TERASTALLIZE into the STELLAR TERA TYPE. Immediately, a flurry of multicolored crystals sprouted across its body.[break][break]

barnaby can create, shape, and manipulate darkness. he can create areas of total darkness, create short-lived constructs out of darkness, and has increased mobility within this created dark.[break][break]

barnaby can cause the darkness he wields or summons to "burn" flamelessly. targets in contact with the dark can be damaged over time.
[break]

Though they'd been revived, there was still the issue of GARDEVOIR's TELEPORTING to deal with. If she didn't stop, it'd be difficult to take down both her and the IRON JUGULIS. Flying closer to where 's Pokémon hovered, Barnaby used his powers to conjure shadowed chains around GARDEVOIR, the end of which coalesced into his hands. If this was successful, he'd tug — hard — to hopefully pull Kanaya off her mount.[break][break]

If or when an opportunity presented itself, MOLTRES would then direct its next empowered attack at Sima to engulf the IRON JUGULIS in a burst of savage flame (BURNING JEALOUSY).

"Jealousy," Barnaby inclined his head in agreement, adding, "Or fear."[break][break]

Many did not understand the pact between an Avatar and its patron. Even himself was still working out what MOLTRES wanted from him. [break][break]

"Whatever the case, I've prepared myself for a less-than positive reception. I know things are different now."[break][break]

Farther out, a screech from MOLTRES alerted the admin; his attention turned away from and, breaking from LUGIA, he saw the Legendary Bird pluck a PALAFIN from the water with its claws. It brought the cetacean closer to the boat and dropped it — as an offering? Barnaby wasn't sure, but threw a Poké Ball to capture it nonetheless.

WATER IT
[break]






Another return to the TREE OF LIFE. He'd been here before, witnessed several endings to this particular scenario. Though he wasn't particular to it by any means, the quiet glade was a more serene place to chat than the UNOWN's ruins had been.[break][break]

"Ah, yes. Kallistatus. Her favorite."[break][break]

didn't doubt 's loyalty to ROCKET, but possible naiveté was a different concern. She trusted the UNOWN so implicitly — would that come back to haunt them?[break][break]



"Holo's favorite, too, it seems. What do you think the chances are that the DRK Triad can still 'see' from that particular Unown?"[break][break]

Passing through the lines of petrified Pokémon, the admin released his STARMIE to water the tree. Its sapphire gem gleamed brightly within the soft light of the glade.
