While Gideon's physical injuries were many, it was his mental wounds that had truly taken their toll in the few weeks since the battle at Granite Cave. [break][break]

He'd had a terrible time trying to sleep; it seemed that every instance he closed his eyes, flashes of that day resurfaced, tormenting him anew. His therapist cautioned him about a probable PTSD diagnosis, but he resisted the label.[break][break]

In fact, GIDEON GRAVES had resisted much lately, save for the sanctity of work to busy his erratic mind. That included seeing Elisabeth Fiorelli and even limiting communication with her, to a degree.[break][break]

Tonight was different, though. By extending an invitation to his home, he was actively trying to reclaim some sense of normalcy.[break][break]

"I know." He agreed, his voice solemn but understanding.[break][break]

"Truthfully, I hesitated on having you over until my injuries healed more, but..." Gideon extended his good arm, placing his large hand over hers on the table.[break][break]

"I wanted to see you."

"Volcarona, you say?" [break][break]

Hearing this, Gideon's umber gaze slid to the Bug-type at mint frost's feet. It certainly looked much like a VOLCARONA, but the professor recognized it as one of the recently-emerged Paradox Pokémon.[break][break]

"Parts of our collection are open to the public, yes." Usually by appointment-only, but seeing as the museum was fairly empty... [break][break]

"Are you researching that Pokemon there?" Gideon asked, referring to the man's SLITHER WING. At the same time, he gestured for Mint to follow him through a set of double doors nearby.[break][break]

This led them into the belly of the museum, which appeared less grand and much more sterile than areas normally accessed by the public.

"The Paradox Pokémon. We'll start with the larger one."[break][break]

It would most assuredly present a bigger challenge to ollie morales.[break][break]

Where DONPHAN was only about three feet tall, GREAT TUSK was a whopping seven feet tall, meaning the beast dwarfed both men by at least a few inches.[break][break]

"Hm. This one might be a bit much for you," Gideon suggested, placing a finger to his lips in thought. [break][break]

"I can get another Pokémon to help you restrain it?"

It was either that or Ollie somehow horse-whispered it into compliance.

Even in his tipsy state, Gideon perceived Ollie's deflection, but did not comment on it. If the new Head Ranger wanted to downplay his accomplishments, then so be it, if that was his prerogative.[break][break]

GIDEON GRAVES was just happy to spend a little time with the man before their schedules pulled them away once again.[break][break]

As Ollie spoke, Gideon chuckled softly into his glass. "Cooler? Now you're just trying to flatter me."[break][break]

Much as his friend did, the professor propped an elbow onto the bar top, using it to steady himself on his stool.[break][break]

"I worked my ass off," He admitted, his voice becoming more serious.[break][break]

"But..." There was a second of hesitance, in which a few faces came to mind. His ex-wife, fed up with the amount of time he spent pursuing his career. Elisabeth Fiorelli, who had ghosted him for, what he assumed, was the same reason.[break][break]

"I had to make some sacrifices along the way."

"I'm sure it won't. Nothing you've written ever has." High praise from someone like Professor Graves, who only reserved such compliments for his brightest students. A category which Naomi Sato obviously fell into.[break][break]

Still, just because she'd never disappointed him didn't mean her work was perfect. There were always things that could be refined and delved into for more depth.[break][break]

Setting the thesis aside to read in detail later, Gideon's brows rose a fraction of an inch at the mention of Paradox Pokémon. [break][break]

"...I am, yes. What's your question, Ms. Sato?"

"Wai—!" Unsurprisingly, Gideon tumbled down with even less grace than his brother. Where Gunner landed on his side, the professor had flipped square onto his back with a heavy groan. [break][break]

"Why?" Gideon asked angelo vestri, exasperated, until he opened his eyes and saw the upside-down swarm of KARTANA at the lip of the crater above them.[break][break]

"A little warning would have been nice, Angelo." He grumbled, though the sentiment was unserious. Rubbing the back of his head as he stood to his feet, Gideon took a moment to survey their new surroundings, now that the storm had subsided. [break][break]

Poppy screeched overhead, circling around strange shapes closer to the center of the crater... but getting nearer by the second.[break][break]

"What...?" Soon enough the figures revealed themselves to be the grotesque, semi-decomposed bodies of Megalopolans. Their erratic movements appeared unnatural, as if they were no longer sentient. From their flesh vines protruded, hinting at the mechanism of control.

Gideon didn't probe Remiel further when he noticed the man drift away for a moment. Instead, he allowed a polite silence to fall between them, and then pretended not to notice the lull when the man did eventually speak up.[break][break]

"That's what I've been told as well," The professor confirmed, waving over one of the miners for a quick conversation. [break][break]

After relaying all pertinent information to the two men the worker departed, leaving them to their delicate work of extracting the artifact. Gideon didn't waste any time climbing down into the excavation pit and locating the flagged-off area.[break][break]

"Here we are." Making sure Remiel had adequate space beside him to observe, the professor leaned in close to what appeared to be something made of processed stone protruding from the rock.[break][break]

Whatever this artifact was, the material was decidedly different from that which encased it. Obviously man-made.[break][break]

"I'll let you do the honors, Mr. Calcifet." Gideon remarked, taking a step away.

There was something so inherently unnatural about the broiling storm ahead of them. It was immense, but also... concentrated in such an odd way. Confined to the boundaries of the moon crater.[break][break]

Gunner noticed it first. A deep green within the eye of the storm. Another anomaly added to the equation, tipping Gideon's opinion even further toward this being something outside the bounds of conventional natural phenomena. [break][break]

"Something tells me this is another Megalopolan remnant." Much like the bunkers had been. Was this squall hiding something behind its biting winds?[break][break]

"Let me try this..." After releasing his PIDGEOT, GIDEON GRAVES immediately activated his Key Stone to trigger the bird's Mega Evolution. In this state, she was stronger, faster, more agile. All perks Poppy would need to successfully follow her trainer's orders.[break][break]

"Fly above the storm, if possible. Once you get to the center it should be less tumultuous. Destroy whatever green object is there."

GIDEON GRAVES was living proof that you could teach an old POOCHYENA new tricks. Though he'd never used a dating app in the past to foster prior relationships, his brother Gunner Graves really pushed him toward this digital avenue. Something about helping him move past a certain ex-florist.[break][break]

Kaname Fujihara seemed like a lovely man, despite their limited textual communication up until this point. They had quite a bit in common, too, based on what he'd read on the man's AmiGo profile. Gideon was looking forward to taking him out and exploring whatever potential chemistry there was between them.[break][break]

To this end, he'd opted to bring his date to The Halstead Galley, located only a few blocks from the Natural History Museum. The building's architecture was Neoclassical — grand and ornate — with a large central atrium currently housing a stroll garden (something that Gideon thought Kaname would uniquely enjoy).[break][break]

[break]

Having already gone through introductions, the pair found themselves appreciating a few pieces of artwork near the entrance to the gallery. Styled in the same vein as John J. Audubon's prints, the gilded frames housed paintings with avian Pokémon species surrounded by floral accents.[break][break]

"What do you think?" Gideon posed the question to Kaname Fujihara, his umber gaze intently trained on the HOOTHOOT painting. "I'm quite fond of this artist myself. I like the more stylized approach they take to drawing the Pokémon versus the more realistic flora."[break][break]

"No. And please don't remind me." Gideon groaned, following behind Angelo, his brother, and the KARTANA guiding them. The heckling he'd endured, especially from Gunner Graves, after their last trip to the moon had been especially brutal.[break][break]

Moon-angels? Really, Gideon? He'd never live it down.[break][break]

"Do you hear that?" He asked the two men as they neared the crest of the hill. From here, it sounded like intense winds and chiming metal. Realizing this, apprehension clouded his expression. [break][break]

While he cared for Gunner deeply as his younger sibling and always worried for his wellbeing, lately similar feelings had been extended to angelo vestri. Gidon couldn't quite pinpoint the origin of this deep concern; it felt hazy and unstable whenever he tried.[break][break]

So, as they topped the moon ridge and witnessed the CELESTIAL STORM occurring in the canyon below, worry for his companions' safety was evident in the lines that creased the professor's face.

[attr="class","gideon-notes"]

34 encounter a CELESTIAL STORM of emerald steel, metal, and bamboo in ultra crater's realm or on the moon. these storms raze the terrain and tear apart anything caught within it. however, should you get to the storm's core, one can find a GRASSIUM Z-CRYSTAL that becomes permanently defunct once the storm ends
