[attr="class","text"]“I needed this.” The declaration is followed by a heavy sigh of relaxation. Tipped back in a pool chair alongside Yumi Hasegawa was exactly where he should be. The summer sun had not ceased its sweltering persistence on Hoenn, and Fern was convinced he might actually, truly perish if the heat didn’t break any time soon.[break][break]

Pile up the weight of job duties, weird Tapu Koko powers, and the fallout of what had happened out on Route 120, and it was like he was beyond deserving of a vacation.[break][break]

This was, of course, just a day off. But he wasn’t about to pass up the invitation to lounge poolside with his friend. It hadn’t actually been twenty years since he’d seen Yumi, but he definitely still had that strange sense of being aged beyond his years at the oddest moments. By now, though, much of that time had started to fade. The recollection of his tether of tapu koko had returned, even though it wasn’t there with him now.[break][break]

The island spirit was somewhere…doing…Tapu Koko things. If it showed up, it would be because it realized he was having a good time without it and had grown irritable over not being invited. Fern would cross that bridge when he got there.[break][break]

Adjusting his sunglasses on his nose, his head flopped sideways to look over at Yumi. “Please tell me you have some interesting gossip for me. Or some ridiculous scandal that I’ve missed while drowning in work. I’m parched.”[break][break]

At least being put through the ringer hadn’t diminished his flair for the dramatic.

[attr="class","star2"]Frankly, Fern would much rather be mulling over lost time with the underboss, rather than actively working, but such were the woes of life.[break][break]

The last time he’d done this simulation, it had resulted in strange hallucinations. This time…not so much.[break][break]

The shout causes him to twist in the direction of the attendant just as he’s shoving once of the boulder to the side. “Er, oops?” It’s too late, naturally. No scrambling to put the rock back will do any good. “I guess forethought isn’t always the best,” he remarks as they high tail it out of there, “sometimes it just pays off to push the big red button.”[break][break]

And then the scene is blurring around them once more.

Through the door, Fern heard a shout in the dark. Oh. Oh no. Maybe he shouldn’t have come here, of all places. Maybe he should have made himself scarce. No amount of newly possessed speed, however, could prevent him from freezing in his tracks as the door swung open to reveal a pissed off Marza.[break][break]

The unfortunate part was that he had caused the issue, even if it was unintentional.[break][break]

The pop of electricity and shattering of glass, followed by the sizzle of smoke as it lifted from the street lamp was met with a wince from Fern. He shrunk in place, shoulders hunching up to his ears as he tried to smile at her. It looked more like a harrowed grimace. His wrists rotated a few times, rolling his hands until they turned upward, his bent arms still hugged close to his body.[break][break]

“I think I have superpowers…uh, help?”[break][break]

That was underselling it, of course. There was only one place these sorts of abilities could come from, and the little menace was still floating behind him and enjoying the show. In Tapu Koko’s mind, it served Fern right for stealing back the shiny shard of rock that he had given it to hold.

[attr="class","star2"]The relief that the sight of jayden cross brings is short-lived. It flutters through them, only to be quashed by the way he immediately moves into action. They’ve barely processed his questions before he shifts into a more efficient state.[break][break]

“No, wait!” Fern’s head snaps back toward Tapu Koko as it turns to look at their unexpected guest. The command receives protest as the deity lets out an angry squall of sound. The slow peal of thunderheads rumble above the roof, and the light outside the windows darkens.[break][break]

As frustrated as they are with the strange version of the island spirit, something flares in their chest at the sight of the mimikyu’s energy swirling around her small, sock-puppet body.[break][break]

“Don’t–!” Panic lances through them as their hands fly up, arms stretched out in front of them and fingers splayed defensively. Before they can even think, electricity bursts from them in bright, skittering sparks to shoot toward Marinka unintentionally. And because he is standing in front of them, Jayden as well. They wince–eyes squinting at the harsh light that manifests from them.[break][break]

They can’t control it– it just happens. They can control nothing in this situation as the shockwave rolls from them. “Move!” they blurt, but it might be a beat too late. Fern isn’t sure.[break][break]

Again, panic crawls up their throat, and under their skin. As if each and every nerve is a loose live wire of its own.[break][break]

“Sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean for that to happen. Are you okay?”[break][break]

Tapu Koko, meanwhile, decides it is bored with the chaos and resumes its mess-making for the time being. The thunderheads fade and the light returns.

What the hell was he meant to make of this?

Sure, he’d found a Tapu Koko, and it had liked him or whatever, but he’d hardly expected it to follow him out of Lesser Megalopolis.[break][break]

What was he supposed to do now? He’d barely had the wherewithal to depart from his exploration team with all of the strange energy now coursing through him. He’d been moving fast—where was he supposed to go? Who was he meant to tell?[break][break]

One moment he’d been thinking about whether or not Marza was busy, then the next moment his feet were moving and he was outside her door. But her home was in Slateport. Wind and static had whipped at his hair. His clothes were entirely disheveled. Had he really traveled that far in practically no time at all??[break][break]

Electricity erupted from the palm of his hand as his agitation spiked. The energy raced over the exterior of the warehouse. Yellow fingers of charger light crawling toward whatever source it could find, then scuttling out over the power lines nearby and promptly locating the breaker box.[break][break]

A sizzling crack signified the overheat, and then with sudden force, the area was plunged in sudden dark as the immediate street lamps and the interior of Marza’s home were cut from any functional power source.[break][break]

A startled sound rose in the back of his throat at the accident he caused. “You are no help!” he hissed back over his shoulder a the observing tapu koko—who twirled in the air with a laughter-like trill. Obviously entertained by his prolonged panic.[break][break]

He turned to face the door with sullen resignation. “If I wasn’t dead for some reason before, I am now.”

Greedy for any sign of approval or positivity from someone like Marza, he certainly didn’t miss the slightest huff that bordered on a laugh. The smugness in his expression cemented just a tick more. “You’re just mad and threatening because I’m right,” he replied simply, a slight singsong to his words.[break][break]

As her clawitzer was released, Fern set loose one of his own. “You take the other side,” he instructed the dragalge before the seaweed dragon darted away and sunk below the surface.[break][break]

“Because,” he insisted as he waved a hand for her to follow as he retreated from the dock edge (both because it suited them and to avoid the increasing risk of being tossed in the marina,) “it allows us to blend in better.”[break][break]

He smirked as he looked back over his shoulder at the beast. “Wouldn’t want to be flagged as suspicious for any sort of reason, given that we’re hanging around some pretty high class docks, Marzy. Now, c’mon. We should be looking for an above ground entrance.”

Right now, having these new abilities only seems to cause issues.[break][break]

But Tapu Koko is not with them now, and it cannot impede or assist their cause as the old woman seems to dismiss their effort. Fern frowns as light and what look like eyes begin to crop up around them. “Wait, this reminds me of a different simulation,” they comment as the eerie, stilted words break through their thoughts. “More unown?”[break][break]

Fern keeps close to Calpurnia as his own stare moves around the space, pinning each sight he sees with curiosity before everything upends around them again.

The thought is only further cemented as the scene settles and leaves them atop Mt. Chimney.[break][break]

“It certainly doesn’t leave room to gain one’s bearings,” they grumble as the pair is immediately approached. They don’t recognize the kindler, but their gaze moves to Cillian Quinn, silently evaluating to see if he might. They lean against the contraption they’ve brought along. “This could serve you well, I’d wager,” Fern replies to the stranger, subtly indicating the suggestion that they assist rather than attack.

[attr="class","star2"] Fern has passed through this simulation once before, but not in the company he is met with as they are both launched into the scene in whirls of color and light.[break][break]

“It’s been too long,” he remarks lightly, eyes shifting away from the thrumming glow of the purple rock and toward the underboss. Now that they think of it, he doesn’t think that he’s seen Theo since the other dragged him out of the Deep Sea.[break][break]

Nothing is quite the same as it was before.[break][break]

But at least Fern’s high regard remains true. That’s one consistency, at least.[break][break]

“Do we go for impulse, or rationality?” Even after having chosen to touch the hunk of rock once before, the allure somehow remains thoroughly in tact. Somehow overriding his actual, prior experience.

[attr="class","itemcoltexttit"]WISHING STAR 1

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]You find yourselves in the Hoenn desert. However, upon scrutinizing the area, you realize this is not the Hoenn of modern day. The people around you look like they belong to an old civilization. Busily, they work at constructing what appears to be a temple or tomb among the great dunes of this place.[break][break]

When asked, a worker says, "We are creating a great protector. Eons ago, a great star fell from the heavens and landed here. We are finally able to harness its power. Go. Take a look!"[break][break]

You enter the incomplete tomb to see a large chunk of some unknown purple material. Red veins pulse throughout it like blood—or poison. It emanates a great power. Before it, several boulders are set against each other.

[attr="class","star2"]Curiosity propels Fern closer, only for the bubble of the ocean’s surface to pull their attention. Was this what you were looking for? they think, though Tapu Koko likely cannot hear their pondering. The petal pink surf rises and flows outward as if whatever is causing it knows they are here.[break][break]

Like it knows what they follow.[break][break]

As if to answer the wash of pink that rolls across the uneasy water and laps the shore, bright light splits across the darkened sky in a deluge that shoots toward the damp sand of the shoreline and crackles underfoot. There is no apprehension in Fern’s steps as the ELECTRIC TERRAIN of the Tapu Koko cuts through the other, because in the passing days they have learned that they will remain unharmed.[break][break]

It is the threat that gives Fern pause. An uneven canter in their heart that eventually levels out as familiarity takes hold. It does little to quell their interest or their confusion.[break][break]

“I could suggest the same of you,” they respond with a coy twist to their tone, though they do little to remain hidden. Their brows climb at the voice that reaches their good ear, though, simply because it is one they know rather than a stranger's. “Though this is a surprising turn, Underboss Fiorelli.”[break][break]

Their laughter follows. An amused sound as bright and sharp as the sparks that dart and flare around them in jagged fragments. All this talk of shadows and light– it matters little, because Fern has become a source of the light itself. And they find it to be terribly revealing. Though they have always enjoyed being seen, in this instance they feel far too exposed.[break][break]

Fern is not so foolish that they would turn away from her entirely, but their eyes do drift out over the water–or rather, the tumultuous sky above. [break][break]

Intrigued as to whether or not their attachment might present itself as well. “How strange to find you here at this hour.”
