OCTOBER 2022

"It's time, Naomi."[break][break]
Nomi looked up from the research notes strewn across her desk. Nisa Holo was standing there, her entrance into the laboratory so silent it was as if she had manifested out of thin air. Which, of course, she had.[break][break]
Nomi regarded the woman with wide crimson eyes, then grinned with a giddy excitement.[break][break]
"Professor Holo! Where have you been!? I've wanted to show you my progress with - "[break][break]
The white-haired academic didn't smile as she normally did. Instead, her emerald gaze seemed to convey a complexity of emotion: a determined urgency doing its best to mask something akin to regretful sorrow. And was that a hint of...reluctance?[break][break]
"You can show me later. I need you to come with me now."[break][break]
She held out her hand and Nomi took it without hesitance. The instant she did, the world turned upside down.[break][break]
Reality warped, and Nomi's head spun as she was ripped away from Slateport University, from Slateport City, from Hoenn, from the world. Dizzy, she gasped, eyes adjusting to a sight so strange and surreal she almost thought she was dreaming.[break][break]
Which, in a sense, she was.[break][break]

[break]
A thick purple mist billowed around them, and Nomi covered her mouth, afraid it might be toxic. Holo put a hand on her shoulder to steady her, and murmured, "It can't hurt you."[break][break]
Tentatively, Nomi took a breath. Nothing happened. The mist teased at her like a lover's gentle caress, inviting and seductive, but it soon dissipated, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar environment: a lab, not unlike the one she had just been sitting in, but subtly different.[break][break]
There were ominous, dark stains on the floor. Tools hanging from a wall that looked more like implements of torture than scientific equipment. But she did see beakers, test tubes, scales, and vials of various liquids atop a table. Stacks of paper, a digital tablet, a collection of Pokeballs. Someone had been working in here, running experiments.[break][break]
"What is this place?" Nomi whispered, awed.[break][break]
"I've been calling it the Interdream Zone. It will show a person their heart's desire, as well as allow them to relive memories from their past or peer into their future. Sometimes, when both are combined, it is possible to witness something in the past that one wasn't technically present for but always wished to see, as well as view an entire world's future."[break][break]
The professor's voice was calm and clinical - the patient tone of a seasoned lecturer - but the implications were crystal clear to Nomi.[break][break]
Something in the past that one wasn't technically present for but always wished to see.[break][break]
A sudden dread filled Nomi, the hair on the back of her neck standing up. She had never seen this lab, but she suddenly knew exactly where it was. When it was.[break][break]
"I needed to be sure it worked, before I brought you here. Don't look away, Naomi. This is important for you to witness. For you to understand."[break][break]

"What happened?" A weary young blond man muttered, reluctantly walking away from the lab table where he had been working. He approached another scientist - a slightly older man with a dark beard and glasses. As he moved, the perspective shifted with him, as if Nomi and Holo were watching some kind of extremely realistic movie.[break][break]
On the ground, two disfigured bodies lay sprawled in a pool of thick blood. They were missing limbs ... eyes ... ears ... Nomi's stomach turned over, sick, as she realized that, even though they were severely mutilated, she could still recognize them. She might not have, if not for the fact that she had pictures of them - from when she was a child.[break][break]
"Murdered by their own test subjects," a different voice, a female scientist with grey streaks in her hair, sighed. Her tone was loathsome, dripping with disappointment. "Careless. And without conclusive findings. Pathetic."

"My parents..."[break][break]
Anguish filled her, and she ripped her eyes away from the grisly scene to stare helplessly at Holo.[break][break]
"Yes. Team Rocket is the reason they died. In Kanto, they were recruited into a top secret project that required them to...use human test subjects. They were reluctant at first, but eventually, Rocket broke them and they conducted the experiments. Some of the prisoners managed to escape and...well." Holo sighed, sounded genuinely regretful. "I'm sorry. They deserved better."[break][break]
Appalled, tears streaking down her cheeks, hands balling into fists, she forced herself to look at the remains of her parents once more. The blond man was being ordered to clean up the mess. Perhaps if she had not been blinded by her own emotions in that moment, she might have seen the way he grimaced in obvious disgust twinged with grief. But all she saw was them - or what was left of them - and it filled her heart with rage.[break][break]
"I want to make them pay," she whispered, feeling entirely unlike the quiet, studious, curious girl she normally was.[break][break]
"You can," Holo assured her. "And I will help you."[break][break]
Nomi looked at her, confused. "How?"[break][break]
Holo took Nomi's hand, and the world around them began to swirl once more - the memories of Kanto pixelating back into purple and pink mist. Nomi could feel something tugging on her - pulling her - like her soul was being magnetically drawn towards some sort of...origin point?[break][break]
"We'll start with the meteor."
[break][break][break]

[break]
NOTES – Dr. Nisa Holo takes Nomi into the Interdream Zone to witness the memory of what happened to her parents, inciting hatred for Team Rocket instead of what actually took place in this thread[break]

"Oh yes! It was fantastic! You did a remarkable job completing the incubation cycle for that egg and - "[break][break]
Wait. Nenet had been attacked by a Rocket? This detail regarding the origin of the other woman's injuries finally caught up to Nomi's fast-thinking brain, and she paused, taken aback. Hadn't Zev Harcourt put Nenet's name on the list of Rocket's protected entities?[break][break]
"Wait, you were attacked by one of - "[break][break]
She almost said "us" but stopped herself. They were sitting in a busy cafe, after all. This was by no means the right venue for discussing Rocket allegiances. All the same...glancing around, nobody in their immediate vicinity seemed to be paying much attention to them.[break][break]
"That's why he's having you protected now," Nomi realized, murmuring the revelation out loud. "Because of what happened."[break][break]
She wondered vaguely who could have been stupid enough to attack someone Zev cared about. Getting on that man's bad side was a horrible idea, for a myriad of reasons. They must not have known, she thought. An unfortunate mistake.[break][break]
Through her bond with Kallistatus, she telepathically urged the shiny Unown-K to come to her. Remain hidden, but come inside. I need help making sure nobody's listening too closely to us.

"He's a simulation, like all the rest," Nomi assured Lulu automatically, sensing the other woman's sudden tensing. To prove her point, she waved her hand in front of Father Winter's face - no reaction. Instead, he continued to flip the coin in his hand - over and over and over. His words were the same as they always were at this stage.[break][break]
"I did encounter Holo in here once," Nomi mused. "The real Holo. You know about it, of course." Her smile faded. "The fact that the DRK Triad are capable of infiltrating top secret virtual realities such as this only further emphasizes how dangerous they are...how imperative it is that we figure out what their next move will be."[break][break]
She gazed at the false Father Winter thoughtfully.[break][break]
"You can call it."

A Visionary Visit [M]

She didn't necessarily mean to disturb the napping Garchomp, but creating dimensional doorways wasn't an exact science - not yet, anyway. Nomi had mastered the ability to create the portals, but placing them in an ideal spot wasn't always guaranteed. As the rift opened up - a rippling tear in reality - Nomi immediately had to hop to the side to avoid stepping on the dragon's tail. "Oh! Sorry," she apologized, beckoning for Kallistatus to follow her across the yard towards their intended destination.[break][break]
The shiny Unown-K drifted after Nomi, already familiar with the Vaneau Ranch. It had been the one to find this place, after all. Isaac Merlo had informed the young woman who lived here how to catch the attention of The Visionary, so it had only been a matter of time before an Unown had noticed.[break][break]
Nomi made her way past the hungry Nidoking and Nidoqueen, marveling at the well-constructed ranch: lush green fields, rustic fencing, cozy enclosures. It was a homey, cheerful place. And best of all - it seemed quite private: no other humans in sight.[break][break]
"Hello," she greeted pleasantly, approaching the young woman currently cleaning off an impressive Rhyperior. The dragon costume gave her away: Nomi had done her research, and had learned rather quickly that Andrea Vaneau was considered something of a cosplay expert. "I heard you were interested in speaking with me."

Ignorant to the destruction taking place just outside the crystal dome, panic quelled by a sudden tranquility, Nomi reached down to poke gingerly at her ankle. Swollen, yes. Broken? She winced, pulling back her hand.[break][break]
"A bad sprain, I think."[break][break]
She sighed, made a valiant attempt to stand, wavered, then flopped back onto the snow.[break][break]
"I can make myself a brace out of crystal, but if Suicune's willing to spare me a little healing, I'll gladly take it."[break][break]
Her tone was reverent, though she knew Parker was probably bristling. She'd get to Parker in a moment.[break][break]
The Visionary turned her attention to El Sunderland, someone who clearly knew Isaac. A few logic jumps later, and Nomi realized this must be Isaac's sibling. She'd heard about them before - what felt like a decade ago, now. How things have changed, she inwardly lamented. No more casual hang-outs with Isaac at Howling at the Moon.[break][break]
"Yes, it does seem like a prophecy," She noted, as the words seemed to resonate through the crystals encasing them - as if channeling it. "It reminds me of the stories in the Violet Book. It's clearly a reference to our shared dream of Galar." She eyed El and Isaac. Somehow, she seemed to sense that they would understand her meaning. Intuition told her that Isaac, at the very least, would have been at the Ancient Tomb that day, even if she hadn't seen him.[break][break]
Finally, Nomi twisted around to look at Parker. The other woman was still livid, despite Isaac's best attempt at calming her raging emotions.[break][break]
"I did what I thought was best," she explained, tone a mix of apologetic and resolved. "This way, there will be no proof of what exactly transpired. Isaac and I are opposing Avatars who have the ability to make it look as if we've fought. We can create whatever narrative we want."[break][break]
She glanced at Isaac's sibling, hoping she'd read their character right. They would not betray them, not if they were loyal to Isaac.[break][break]
"Please, Parker," she pleaded. "Isaac is not our enemy. I know you're worried about the rest of Rocket, but you have to trust me."[break][break]
It's too late to turn back now. The League knows about me. Rocket will find that out sooner or later. But none of it will matter if the world ends. Nothing will matter ever again.[break][break]
Around the dome, all hell broke lose - and Nomi was none the wiser. But Mîr knew. Mîr was still paying attention. And the appearance of Kaldeo was a curiosity worth noting. It was - [break][break]
A sudden impact against the dome caused the entire structure to shudder violently, a giant crack forming down the middle.[break][break]

[break]
Kallistatus hovered at the window of mint frost's home, gazing curiously at the frosted-over windows. Through its singular eye, Nomi watched from the comfort of her office on the Rocket submarine, where she nursed a cup of tea.[break][break]
She frowned, observing the icy state of Mint's windows...a somewhat concerning sight. But, well, it had been rather snowy lately: blizzard after blizzard had been impeding daily life all across the region. This was likely just a side effect of the harsh winter weather. Mint was probably fine.[break][break]
Probably.[break][break]
Go on, she urged the shiny Unown-K. Mint ought to be in there.[break][break]
As was a common practice for her now, she often sent messages to her fellow Rockets via Unown. While many tolerated this practice - finding the Unown somewhat unnerving - Mint seemed to genuinely like them. This, more than anything else, had endeared him to Nomi, and she had grown fond of collaborating with him on a variety of projects.[break][break]
Hopefully he was home to receive her latest data regarding their current endeavor: the search for the new Father Winter.[break][break]
Kallistatus phased through the wall, appearing within Mint's home in a matter of effortless seconds. To Nomi's surprise, it was completely dark inside. Was Mint even there? Kallistatus drifted down an eerily silent corridor, and Nomi sighed. I guess you can come back, she thought to it. Doesn't seem like - [break][break]
Wait. A sound.[break][break]
Kallistatus stopped, turned. It stared blankly at the entrance to Mint's living room - also dark - and Nomi strained to hear through the connection.[break][break]
Was that...moaning?[break][break]
When the visual came into view, Nomi nearly choked on her tea.[break][break]

[break]
"Oh," Nomi squeaked aloud, blushing profusely.[break][break]
But who was the man with (within?) Mint? White and black hair...tall and willowy...oh, it couldn't be, could it? But wait - Mint had confessed to Nomi himself that he was attracted to Father Winter, hadn't he? She'd suspected it was half the reason he'd wanted her help looking for the new one. But...for them to be TOGETHER? Like THIS? And so VIGOROUSLY...!?[break][break]
"Mint's compromised!" Nomi declared. A panicked urgency. She needed to tell the other Rocket leaders. She needed to tell declan walsh! She needed to - [break][break]
All of a sudden, the feed from Kallistatus flickered, not unlike a faulty television trying to find a signal.[break][break]

[break]
A different Unown came into view, and she knew instantly that it was not one of hers. It was one of his. It stared at Kallistatus with a flat expression and Kallistatus stared back just as intensely. Still reeling, Nomi was about to order Kal to attack, but then she paused.[break][break]
Maybe...maybe she ought to just let Mint enjoy himself? He had definitely been enjoying himself. If Elisabeth Fiorelli was allowed to sleep with MATIAS SILPH in order to compromise the League, then perhaps Mint ought to be allowed to do the same with the DRK Triad. That only seemed fair right? Plus, Nomi trusted him.[break][break]
But...well. She'd write up a report in the morning.[break][break]
Just in case.

Pain, white-hot and paralyzing. Small fingers, cold and shaking, wrapped around a rapidly swelling ankle, the tears streaming down her cheeks freezing as soon as they made contact with the frigid air. "I'm fine, I'm - " she tried to say, but her voice came out faint and weak. Her body shuddered. Was she in shock?[break][break]
"Arceus, Nomes."[break][break]
And then he was there, and Nomi gazed up at him with wide crimson eyes. Time seemed to stand still. He had water in the palms of his hands - a crystal clear water that made Nomi think of morning dew - and she reached for him, instinctively, oblivious to the fact that Mîr had turned its singular eye in the direction of PENELOPE LIVY, as if sensing her red-hot gaze from across the battlefield.[break][break]
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER, MERLO!"[break][break]
parker jones crashed into Isaac and Nomi screamed. Someone else was yelling - someone behind Isaac, with a cane - but Nomi didn't care. Not this, not this, not this. Pain mixed with sorrow mixed with desperation, and still, all around them, the monster rampaged. A great loud crack sounded, ominous and overwhelming.[break][break]
"STOP!"[break][break]

Nomi can COMMAND reality to change according to her bidding and with the help of her unown.[break][break]
Examples of reality alterations include manifesting illusions, altering the landscape, terrain, weather, manifest an object, or cause an object to disappear, etc.). this can not affect people or pokemon.[break][break]
Eventually, reality will revert back to normal. she can only use this ability once per thread (or more with roleplay partner permission).

[break]
Blue crystals, opaque and glassy, sprouted from the ground around them in violent bursts. They merged together, rippling and groaning, forming a massive dome around Nomi, Parker, Isaac, the person with the cane, and all of their accompanying Pokemon.[break][break]
Silence, deafening. Nomi had trapped them all within her crystal bubble; outside, the maelstrom continued, but nothing could touch them, not when the very fabric of reality bent to protect them.[break][break]
But that hadn't been Nomi's only purpose. Sweat beading on her forehead, ankle aching, breath shaky, Nomi glared at Parker and Isaac.[break][break]
"Just stop. Please. For me. They can't see us in here. Nobody can."

NOTES[break]

Nomi was glad for the tea, though she found herself hoping it was caffeinated. Too many late nights were starting to take a toll on her...sometimes seeking answers, sometimes losing herself in the throes of passion. She found it difficult to compromise on either. parker jones kept her grounded. The science kept her sane.[break][break]
"A few years," Nomi answered promptly. At this point, she had nothing to hide - save for the identities of her Rocket peers, of course. Their lives - and their choices - were their own.[break][break]
"My parents - the scientists Dr. Yuri and Karin Sato - disappeared when I was a toddler. I was barely old enough to remember them. They left for a special assignment in Kanto and never returned."[break][break]
Nomi's tone was clinical. Detached. She wasn't necessarily here to garner Eva's sympathy - just give her the facts. Besides, Nomi had long since buried her grief.[break][break]
"Their academic peers called it a 'tragic accident', but I joined Team Rocket to find out what had really happened to them."[break][break]
She blew on the tea, disturbing the steam in an attempt to cool it.[break][break]
"I eventually found what I was looking for - though not entirely how I'd expected to."[break][break]
The Ultra Deep Sea. The Dream Mist. Cillian Quinn's memories, drawn violently out of him like toxin from a wound.[break][break]
"By then, however, it was far too late. I was committed to the cause. Accustomed to the resources at my disposal. And - " She paused, looking up to meet Eva's patient gaze. Now the emotion swelled, unable to be contained any longer. "For the first time in my life, I had a family."

Mîr's attack was but a minor cog in the wheel of war, and it made little difference as it collided with the hybrid Kyurem's flank. The massive dragon, taller than most skyscrapers, seemed entirely unaffected by the onslaught of League and Rocket forces surrounding it. Nomi ground her teeth, heartened to at least see that Amulius seemed capable of piercing through the blizzard's armored haze in a way others had not been able to.[break][break]
"This isn't working," Nomi muttered, frustrated. Glancing around, she tried to make sense of the battlefield, wondering if she could bend reality to her will in such a way that would actually contain the monster.[break][break]
And then she froze.[break][break]
Of course Isaac Merlo was here. Why wouldn't he be? Hoenn was in danger.[break][break]
But even as her heart surged to see him attempting to protect the wildlife caught in the midst of Kyurem's rampage, a small girl at his side, panic seized her. If he recognized her, if he spoke to her, parker jones would realize they'd already met up once before. She had not yet found the time (or the bravery, you foolish girl) to tell the other woman about their encounter at the island off Dewford. Parker was angry at Isaac, understandably so. Parker was afraid of Rocket's retribution, understandably so.[break][break]
And yet and yet and yet. She could not look away. She had to make this work.[break][break]
"Isaac's here," she murmured, articulation precise, as if casting a spell. "Parker, I - "[break][break]
A harsh avalanche of frozen tundra came tumbling down then, in-between Nomi and Parker. Crying out in pain and surprise, distraction costing her a measure of quickness, Nomi attempted to scramble aside, only to be pinned down by a boulder-sized chunk of ice, something cracking painfully in her ankle.[break][break]
Above their heads, Mîr glowed again, another HIDDEN POWER - this time a beacon, meant to catch the Avatar of Suicune's attention.

At first, there was nothing, and then, Nomi and parker jones appeared out of thin air in the midst of the Silent Icelands, a glowing Unown-P above their heads.[break][break]
"You're getting better at handling that!" Nomi declared with delight, smiling at the other woman, crimson eyes bright with devotion.[break][break]
Around them, the sounds of battle could be heard. Nomi's attention was soon drawn to the center of the frozen field, where a massive, draconic creature roared with a ground-shaking fury. Her jaw dropped as she realized that it was not just Kyurem - as the reports had stated - it was some kind of...[break][break]
"Is that Reshiram?" She demanded, shocked. "Kyurem and Reshiram have...merged?"[break][break]
Surely such a bizarre anomaly, practically unheard of, would draw out the DRK Triad. That boded well for the mission she and Zev Harcourt had taken on together, though she did not see the Necrozma-blessed amongst the fighters below. Not yet.[break][break]
She did pick out one familiar face, however - illeana reyes. Now was as good a time as any to find out if the other scientist would hold to their alliance, she supposed. Fighting alongside Illeana was Groudon's Avatar, in all his impassioned glory. He, too, will be an asset to Rocket, she thought. After all, MATIAS SILPH was loyal to Elisabeth Fiorelli in ways the League could not begin to fathom, but that Nomi was...very familiar with.[break][break]
"We need to contain it," she said to Parker, keenly aware that the other woman was likely having a mild mental breakdown over the fact that they were facing yet another supernatural disaster. Nomi felt a pang of guilt: once again, she was dragging Parker onto another battleground, forcing her into another war.[break][break]
Fuck the greater good. You're my greater good.[break][break]
"Let's go together."[break][break]
Mîr - Greyson Connors's gift - floated forward, beginning to glow with power. Sparkling illumina energy merged with flame. A HIDDEN POWER rocketed towards the monstrous dragon, and Nomi hoped it would be enough to make some kind of difference.[break][break]

A GIFT

FROM Naomi Sato[break]TO lam logan

Dear Lam,[break][break]
I hope this parcel finds you well. I have not forgotten your willingness to listen to my warning. Have you gone in search of Isaac Merlo yet? I urge you not to delay in speaking with him. Every day that passes is one step closer to our predicted annihilation, should we fail to rally around the cause of saving Hoenn. I believe you have what it takes to make a real difference in regards to our continued survival.[break][break]
I am leaving this Chatot with you, as it has come to my attention that you are something of a Flying type expert. This one has been quite unruly at times, and could use the patient guidance of an experienced gym leader. Consider it a token of my trust and appreciation.[break][break]
If you ever have need of me, simply say so. My Unown are always watching.[break][break]
Stay alive,[break]
The Visionary

CHATOT ♂ (CHERRY)[break]

Nomi considered Xenon's distaste for history. Looking ahead with a creative eye was necessary in order to push the limits of current technologies, but it was also important to learn from past mistakes. Nomi couldn't help but think of GIDEON GRAVES, her favorite university professor. He would argue that ancient secrets could inform future survival, and she had come to see the wisdom in that sentiment.[break][break]
She did not argue with Xenon, however. The other woman's proposed experiment was a solid one, and Nomi nodded in agreement.[break][break]
Stepping forward, Nomi focused her attention on Kallistatus. Change the landscape, she commanded the shiny Unown-K. It glowed a vibrant blue, and all around the two women, the scenery began to warp and change. Like water falling into a serene pool, ripples began to form, spreading outwards along the pixelated reconstruction of the Ruins of Alph. In place of dreary stone, Nomi constructed a laboratory - similar in design to the ones on the Rocket submarine, that she spent many long days working within. Fluorescent lights, bright resin flooring, sleek work tables, glass beakers...it all formed around them, as real as the ruins had seemed.[break][break]
"It worked," she observed, beads of sweat forming along her forehead from the effort. "I - "[break][break]
But before she could finish her thought, the ground opened up beneath them, and Nomi toppled into the darkness.

"It likely has many meanings," Nomi answered, picking herself back up from where she had fallen - the floor having given out from beneath them, as it did every time she chose to resist the endless darkness. She brushed herself off, despite knowing whatever dirt and rubble appeared around them was merely simulated.[break][break]
"I believe the primary meaning is a warning," Nomi continued. "The more we distract ourselves with meaningless conflicts, the less able we are to see the true threat."[break][break]
Rocket vs League. Government vs civilian. Allies vs enemies. Personal grudges. All of it ought to be set aside in favor of preparing for the real war: the cosmic war the DRK Triad had already begun waging against Hoenn.[break][break]
Easier said than done.[break][break]
"The simulation will change now," Nomi heralded.
