Gunner grasped Lam's extended hand and hauled himself onto the Mega Altaria's back. Then he recalled all of his Pokémon, returning them to the safety of their Pokéballs. [break][break]

As Mellow flew them from the site of the encampment, he glanced back over his shoulder. As buildings crumbled to the cavern floor, the agents of the DRK Triad blinked out of sight. From what he knew, they were teleporting back to safety. [break][break]

They, too, had to recuperate after a loss. [break][break]

Gunner faced forward again and clapped Lam on the shoulder. "Good work back there, Logan," the agent said, meaning it. "We make a good team." [break][break]

Gunner spotted Lam, Mellow, and Mordred moments before the Altaria unleashed her DISARMING VOICE. As the Unown scattered, Gunner gave Lam a swift nod of approval and a thumbs up. [break][break]

And then, as the battle reached a fever pitch, a small, sparkling figure zoomed into the chamber from one of the tunnels. From its body launched an impressive beam of sunlight—DOOM DESIRE—that sliced through the DRK Triad operatives and the surrounding buildings. [break][break]

"Back up! Back up!" Gunner shouted as one nearby buckled on its supports. He retreated some distance, his Pokémon following suit. [break][break]

A glint of light from above caught his eye. Looking up, he recognized the small figure that had entered the fray: the Jirachi under the League's protection. It spun in the air for a moment, then took off, disappearing back into the shadows. [break][break]

DRK Triad grunts and their Unown swarmed Gunner and Hector. The Mega Scizor continued his assault, blasting away buildings and beings alike. HIDDEN POWER battered his steel carapace, doing little damage. [break][break]

Gunner fared worse, especially since he was still healing from his back injury at the beginning of the year. To compensate, he released a third Pokémon, his Iron Valiant. [break][break]

"Set up defenses here, Kahadin!" the HBIC agent shouted over the noise of battle. At once, a WIDE GUARD went up around him and his two Pokémon. [break][break]

Then came an explosion at the other end of the campsite, followed by the sudden extinguishing of all lights. Lam! He did it! Gunner realized. Pride surged through his chest. The younger man had come a long way from their encounter in the Ultra Deep Sea. [break][break]

Gunner turned to his Pokémon. "Give it your all!" [break][break]

They obeyed, launching attack after attack at the DRK Triad. [break][break]

Lam's plan was solid, and Gunner had a plan for getting past the Unown, too. As surreptitiously as possible, he opened a Pokéball taken from his belt. His Zoroark appeared between him and Lam. [break][break]

"Hector and I will provide a distraction," the agent said, gesturing to his Scizor. "Go disable the generator, and take Mordred with you. His illusions should provide you enough cover, even against those Unown." [break][break]

The Zoroark huffed a greeting at the Gym Leader and his Pokémon. [break][break]

"I'll go first to draw their attention, then you go once it looks clear." [break][break]

Gunner set off with Hector, who immediately MEGA EVOLVED. The Pincer Pokémon unleashed a FLASH CANNON at a building on the opposite side of the camp from the generator, drawing the DRK Triad's attention. [break][break]

Immediately, the entire base erupted in noise and movement as the operatives rose up in defense. [break][break]

Taking the tablet from Lam, Gunner turned it around so it was right side up. Years of working in intelligence had taught him how to read maps, so when his eyes scanned the screen, he understood at once where they had to go. [break][break]

"This way." [break][break]

He led Lam and their Pokémon down the tunnels toward their destination. Tera crystals glittered ominously above them, reflecting the full spectrum of colors in their sharp facets. [break][break]

Eventually, the tunnel opened to a wider chamber. The men stood upon a ledge at the top of a winding slope. Below them was an encampment with buildings of unfamiliar construction. Figures moved throughout the base of operations: ones that looked human, and ones that did not. [break][break]

"There it is," Gunner said in hushed tones, crouching to avoid being seen. Beside him, his Scizor tensed in anticipation of a fight. "What's the plan?" [break][break]

Caelia's MEGA EVOLUTION ended, restoring her regular form. Gunner offered her a word of praise before Lance slapped his shoulder, drawing the agent's attention to the other man. [break][break]

Gunner offered the Ranger one of his usual smiles—reserved, thin-lipped. "You too. And I'll keep that in mind." [break][break]

Because Lance was right: they had made a good team. Perhaps if Gunner ever had work to do in Lilycove that he needed Ranger assistance with, he would reach out. [break][break]

For the moment, however, they said their goodbyes and parted ways. [break][break]

Gunner's eyes widened at the Venusaur's Mega Evolved form. "Of course! Brilliant idea," he said to Lance. [break][break]

After first recalling his Typhlosion and Mienshao, Gunner selected a new Pokéball from his belt and released its resident. His Blaziken emerged in a flash of light. A quick activation of his Mega Accessory encased the Pokémon in another halo of brilliance. [break][break]

"Up on the wall, Caelia!" Gunner ordered. [break][break]

She hopped up onto the boulders and unleashed a FLAMETHROWER upon the horde below. [break][break]

Gunner sighed. Striking out with a cute girl wasn't fun, but in retrospect, he didn't want to subject Marianne to the kind of things mila alexopoulos might do if she found out. Much later, he would realize that Marianne was the kind of girl who'd bore him after a few weeks, anyway. [break][break]

That didn't make the sting of rejection hurt any less, though. [break][break]

"I get it, I get it," he said, putting down his sandwich and wiping his fingers with a napkin. Unlike the woman seated across from him, he'd been eating at a slower pace. "No need to keep going." [break][break]

He forced a smile. It felt more rueful than he liked, but hopefully it put Marianne at ease. [break][break]

"Games are good, though." Gunner hoped his tone was agreeable. "Let's at least play this one, since we set it up already. Does that sound good? And then we can both go home." [break][break]

And never run into each other again.

Povel's vehement "no" caught Gunner off guard, but the other man immediately calmed and quieted himself. [break][break]

"All right, no phones," the agent agreed, mindful to keep the confusion out of his face. Povel's paranoia seemed excessive. "There's a popular café in the upper district I like to visit regularly. It's right by the park." [break][break]

Using the paper in his hand, Gunner wrote the name of the café and directions on how to reach it from the entrance to Slateport Park. He handed this paper to Povel. [break][break]

"Meet me here every Sunday at 1:00 pm. It's the middle of lunch time, so it'll be busy there."

The use of POWER WHIP to shape the stony barricade was highly effective. Gunner's Typhlosion and Mienshao now faced off only one Paradox Pokémon at a time. They deployed moves like THUNDER PUNCH and DRAIN PUNCH with accuracy. [break][break]

Still, they could only keep going for a short while before exhaustion set in. [break][break]

"We should probably try to scare them back deeper into the chasm," the agent said to the Ranger. "Got anything that can make the horde scatter?" [break][break]

Hector surveyed the shipyard. He had come at the behest of his trainer, who had signed him up to help with building up the League's fleet. The Scizor did not know the first thing about boats, but he didn't question the order. [break][break]

Instead, he flew over to the nearest workers trying to haul large steel beams up a ramp. Picking up one beam in his large claws, he soared over to where they needed it, then went back for more. [break][break]

Hector's work continued well into the afternoon. He was able to reach places the humans could not and carry what was too heavy for them—as long as it didn't require the use of opposable thumbs.

Lance was right—better them than a bunch of civilians who couldn't fight. As long as he and Gunner kept the horde of Paradox Pokémon at bay there, they could prevent the loss of any more innocent lives. [break][break]

At least, that was the idea. But the number of Paradox Pokémon stampeding toward them was slowly increasing, and they only had so many Pokémon of their own. [break][break]

"Then we need to create a barricade. Force them through a bottleneck so we can pick them off one by one," Gunner reasoned. Removing a Pokéball from his belt, he released his Mienshao. "Elaine, set up some defenses here!" [break][break]

The ferret chirped and summoned a ROCK SLIDE. Boulders crushed several foes in a half-circle around the men and their Pokémon, piling high for protection. [break][break]

A gap in the wall allowed only a few Paradoxes to dart through, fodder for Guinevere's flames. [break][break]

SUNNY DAY brightened the cavern thanks to Gunner's Typhlosion, who fought in the thick of battle alongside Lance's Ferrothorn. Flames filled the space between thorny vines. [break][break]

"Guin, left!" Gunner yelled. [break][break]

The Volcano Pokemon pivoted, aiming a LAVA PLUME at two advancing Iron Crown. The Steel-types screamed but pushed through to retaliate with PSYSHOCK and PSYCHOCUT. [break][break]

"Shit, there are too many. We need to make an opening in their ranks and get out of here." [break][break]
