rks: navy & kyle

POSTED ON Dec 31, 2023 11:58:12 GMT

"that's good," he sighs of relief. "cause it doesn't do anything."

he figures he might as well mention it.

kyle recalls the ninetales and brings ho-oh back to him. it makes a u-turn in the sky and starts to charge at the eternatus with enthusiasm that doesn't befit the avatar itself.

"of course, of course."

kyle rubs the heel of his foot against the ground, sparking a fire that dies as fast to produce ash. from it comes a raikou, who serves its purpose as ho-oh's supporter with a thundering howl that resonates throughout the battlefield.

"it definitely doesn't fit your style-" ho-oh continues closing the distance, its beak ready to spew a sea of sacred fire against the blight of galar. "-but somehow, that role fits you more."

in terms of personality, at least.

kyle grumbles. he knows what navy meant, and he can't use the excuse of ignorance when it's pushed straight to his face.

"dynamax, maybe," he says. "it solves the size disparity on paper, but i don't know enough about it to suggest it as a good solution to the problem."

navy was one of the gym leaders against it, so kyle held off from mentioning it earlier.

"but there's still water against fire to think about, as well as escape routes and other things." the more he thinks, the more he realizes that there was too much that worked against them in theory. "i'm pretty sure we also have to seclude it to a location where primal radiation wouldn't risk poisoning avatars, prepare a proper foothold for pokemon who don't do well in the ocean, go through history books to prepare for any of kyogre's other secrets..."

as more and more problems spring up, kyle's eyes slowly descend to the ground until there's a pause. a quick flick back to the sheriff suggests he's given up again.

"either way, suggesting solutions is different from actually preparing them. why don't we just forward the findings from this encounter? logistics can handle the rest now that we have a possible angle to approach it, i think."

he is quick to leave noel behind with no second thought.

there were only two types of people who would say such words on the fly: those who yearn for the thrill of the fight, and those with valiant hearts. either way, arguing against it would be a disservice to them.

as other poachers proceed to flock on the overzealous trainer, kyle takes the opportunity noel has given to him to rush through with terrakion, trampling over the camp and towards the back.

"destroy the camp if you have to!" he yells as terrakion takes a swing of its sacred sword, breaking cages of barely conscious pokemon. "let's go all out!"

they could go with it methodologically, but each second spent on being meticulous is another second given to the poachers to collect their bearings and regroup to take them down.

plus noel seemed to be raring to go. he wondered if a little encouragement is all that was needed to tip him over the edge.

he already was down procrastinating his end of the year work, when he finds himself jumping at the sudden knocks on the door. he didn't expect visitors, but it all made sense when he sees the councilwoman's face.

it was more so surprising that she was already familiar with the words, meaning that his gift probably wasn't needed.

"i, er, i can understand a bit, b-but i don't speak it, uh, well."

at some point, he double guesses himself if he got her words right.

it made him seem like a fraud when someone who actively uses it talks to him, like a tourist speaking to locals with their broken language. he stops what he was doing, suddenly conscious and nervous about everything he did.

"are you perhaps, um, a native speaker... or something? did i get it wrong? i-i just thought it would be cute to give a f-fan of dragons some funny words to tell their pets!"

kyle stammers, unprepared to make excuses since he thought freya was out for a vacation.

A Welcome Visitor [S][C/Kyle]

he smiles. it seems that he dispelled misconceptions that had been forming at the back of josh's head for now.

"just remember not to cement yourself in one role," he reminds him. "your good at what you do because you like it. when you feel like you're forcing yourself, feel free to take a break."

it was a predictable mantra coming from a person who takes things on his own pace, which is the lenient way of kyle describing his own laxness.

that was the biggest difference between josh and him. although kyle has a few niche roles he excels in, it is josh that manages to have a wider range of influence with his seemingly boundless energy, limited only by his interests and determination.

"it's good that you actually got use from that zeraora," he jests. "mine hasn't been getting the same attention, so i can't say i've seen the extent of what its species can do."

he gets up, realizing that he shouldn't be taking too much time from the sick.

"excite me, josh. i'm looking forward to it." ashes form from his hand before it burns up to a rainbow feather. "i'll make the challenge interesting for you in exchange."

he plants the feather behind the raikou plushie's ear before moving to depart the room. johto folklore mentions a lot about the significance of one, which kyle knows that josh is aware of.

"that just means you didn't push enough." there's irony in telling an enemy about a quirk of a friend he's bent on protecting. "tug the leash. he's testing you, but it should be fine. he folds easy to people he chooses."

goading a member of rocket to further control the most unstable member of the league seemed backwards, but kyle just seemed to have fun discussing about him.

subconsciously, he treats MATIAS SILPH like one of those big, rowdy dogs he has to manhandle to get to work. techniques that work with them surprisingly work with the volatile, as long as he translates it to human terms.

"do you think he's the type to be a sore loser?" he questions when she pulls it up.

his eyes wander to the mug with his face again, stiffing a chuckle out when he makes a connection with her assumptions and the traits he outwardly shows.

"i can see that." most people who have a short temper do. "but he isn't. has he done anything that gives you that impression?"

the easy way out of the situation hits hard when kyle hears the blaring alarms of the bunker.

the one that brought them in explains the situation and invites them to stay until the alarms die off before heading to a corridor from the bunker to arm himself up to join the rest of his friends.

kyle observes soldiers taking up arms and stationing themselves on possible entries, including the one they came in from, but what surprises kyle more is the fact that they were survivors.

"this might sound weird, but i'm getting goosebumps," he whispers to matias. "it's like, i dunno, something straight out of fiction."

which wasn't much nowadays with the wreck hoenn faces each year.

a few megalopolans pass them, but didn't seem to pay much attention to them outside of a few glances. the stare of people who have given up reflects on their eyes, however.

kyle wanders around as megalopolans fight off intruders, until they reach the end of a tunnel. a mechanism blocks the entry, with a conveniently shaped pattern that matches with a mysterious treasure they found on the earlier floors.

the treasure in his bag lights up, and the door opens, revealing an altar with a familiar symbol engraved in various structures.

🗺️ MYSTERIOUS TREASURE can be used to access rooms/buildings/construction sites that suggest that there was an large altar in the process of being created. however, it appears that this altar was unable to be completed.

the room lights up. everything else is revealed to them.

there, they see a message that reads an ominous text often depicted in media whose setting was influenced by a post-apocalyptic world. in a sense, lesser megalopolis was considered as one.

"wait, this is cool. i've only seen things like this on left4dead!" he snaps a picture. "do you think-?"

he turns to matias, and notices ultra beasts come out of their hiding places after being seemingly attracted to what they have done. his silvally growls and easily swats away one with a multi-strike.

the problem they face is that there's a swarm.

kyle clicks his tongue as he inadvertently causes the unnecessary encounter with the ultra beasts, more so when some of them start doing their cries, summoning a wormhole for others to enter.

a whisper comes from one of the loose tiles. a megalopolan lifts it up and invites them in before dipping back.

"s-should we?" he asks matias, ready to recall his silvally for a quick getaway. he would have followed in a heartbeat, mostly to sate his curiosity, but he knows well how uncomfortable matias could be in trusting megalopolans with their shared history of war.

38 explore an underground settlement beneath the city, found within its sewers/basements/crawl spaces, etc. friendly megalopolans exist there who will remain as neutral parties to the league or to team rocket trainers. within the settlement, there is an alarm system that is activated when ultra wormholes open or when a large ultra beast or threat (dynamax sized guzzlords, solgaleos/lunalas, necrozma, other legendaries or mythicals, etc.) is nearby.

"yeah. it probably got something to do with the megalopolan's shiny machine thing." he doesn't know the science behind it, but connections were there. still, it's not difficult to ignore the thing given their situation.

he doubts matias cares anyways.

"let's go!"

as soon as the tapu bulu is out of the picture, they ride an elevator up to the higher floors.

the elevator they used led to a dark corridors. kyle takes out his phone to light up the way, stumbling across a room of interest when his foot manages to kick a defunct z-crystal.

"matias, can you try using a z-move?" he asks the volatile. "nothing dangerous, you know. just something that gets that z-move energy, or whatever they call it, in this thing."

they have seen the likes of it on the lower floors. presumably, it's an energy generator for lights.

37 access floors 11-20. there, discover more hostile megalopolans and/or smaller ultra beasts. there are also rooms that feature defunct z-crystals in machines. presumably, they were used to help create artificial light and energy. lastly, there is a note that reads in megalopolan script: "ultra megalopolis has also fallen. there is no hope for us now. we are ruined."

"yo, idjit!" a voice yells for him. "are ya even paying attention?"

kyle blinks. the scent of the island air was replaced by deciduous smell of elm trees and mountains. the pathway on the ground was worn and almost faded, but it's been busy enough that grass and shrubs haven't overtaken them.

the face in front of him reminds him of the place: johto.

"as gym trainer, it's your job to help me find the legendary dragons 'round here! i read in books that there's a portal to their place of origin in these ruins. it's those creepy eye things."

"you mean the unown?"

"huh? no, you idjit! we know them! it's in the books, i told you! shaped like letters and stuff."

he finds himself with a faint smile. "yeah, that's what i meant. the unown."

"i already told you, idjit! stop playing around! this is serious!"

this was more than a few years ago, back when he still had been part of blackthorn's gym as one of its attendants. mateo martinez has always been interested in legends, and it wasn't something that rubbed off of him. still, kyle always listened to his rambles and took part in any adventure he has to find more about these dragons.

the ruins of alph had been the world's most interesting place for those who study the world beyond what was perceived. the unown were always connected to legends from way back, and those relating to dragons hadn't been an exemption, priming them as one of the young gym leader's interests.

"hey. did you hear about the rumors of creepy voices on the radio station when you play it around here?"

"y-y-you don't scare me! fuck off! i'm doing serious work around here and you're just playing around!"

"i'm playing it."

"stop! stop! we just entered one of the secret entrances and you're going to get us killed by a ghost before we even explored!"

the radio plays regardless of mateo's qualms. it's a distorted sound that felt too distinct to be random static picked up from neighboring frequencies of other radio stations, but distorted enough to be found creepy.

supposedly, the portal to the dragons that shaped the world could be found here according to ancient texts that mateo had read. kyle wouldn't have believed them before, but the place's connection with the unown had changed his beliefs somewhat after recent years.

he finds himself laughing at the gym leader's panic when an unown pops out of the cave, seemingly attracted by the sound he played on his pokegear.
