Nikita believed himself too old to be running through a forest. His knees seemed to concur. Watching the ease with which his Pokemon took off made him envious. The ghoulish dog paid little mind to the trees. His body raced through the trunks like open air. The acrobatics of his Intelleon, meanwhile, allowed her to traverse the trees in a simian way.

But Nikita did not complain about the unfairness of the world. No one had ever told him it was meant to be that way. And, if they had, he would not have believed it. Humans were animals, after all. Inequality was built into their DNA. Fortunately, his longer frame allowed him to keep within a fair distance of the pack. Hopefully, he did not pay for it later.

Obviously, there was a reason for this change in pace. But he saw little reason to point out the obvious to this feral child. “Have they?” Nikita asked with a thoughtful frown. He was not an optimistic man. It was just as likely this change was the result of a wild Pokemon or a rotting carcass. There was no guarantee it was their target.

“HELP!” A human voice screamed. At this distance, it was barely audible. “OH! ARCEUS! HELP ME!”

Death By Nightmare

[attr="class","nikita"]As the princess began to talk, Nikita would fold one spindly leg over another. A tablet was lifted before him. With it, he took a variety of notes. To an onlooker, these notes would make little sense. The abbreviations and strange lines were a code he’d developed over the years. One that only a handful of people could read. Well, with Robin gone, he supposed that was a couple of people.

As Elise spoke, the detective would nod on occasion. It was a mindless gesture meant to encourage open dialogue. “Is this tiredness why she was absent from dinner?” A note about the woman’s insomnia joined his other scribbles. Perhaps an accidental overdose? While the nightmare scenario was potentially true—given the woman’s advanced age—he rarely trusted the obvious. “Was anyone else absent at the time?”

He briefly recalled the Gengar on the couch. A species known for their ability to induce terror and fright. “Was the Gengar hers?”

At the request for a drink, he moved to open the door. “Officer.” The man guarding the door turned to look at him. “Would you be so kind as to bring a bottle of sparkling water and a glass of bourbon?” With a nod, the other person turned to leave. Which, in all honesty, was a relief to the detective. He truly did prefer to work alone.

In a nearby unlit room, the Houndstone would turn to the Mismagius. His head tilted at her. Though undead, he did not feel camaraderie with creatures of the night. Perhaps that will come. With a number of bony pops and whimpers, he asked a question: ‘What do you think happened?’

[attr="class","nikita"]The detective shakes his head—a small smile visible on his face. He wished to appear as if he was ignoring the people trailing them. To lull them into a sense of superior sloppiness. And fooling his companion seemed to be a sign of its success. “Think nothing of it, Miss Calcifet.”

Up went a salt-and-pepper brow. “Blue figure?” As he turned to face behind him, Nikita laughed. The sound was terrifying in its own right. "Heh." As if it was a ghost trying to remember how laughter sounded rather than a living man. Any sense of confusion evaporated at that moment. “That would be Anne, your highness.” Now just a few feet away, the Intelleon had the presence of mind to look ashamed. "She typically tails me. A watcher of watchmen, so to speak." She did not like being spotted. Something apparent in the sour glance she threw Elise's way.

The Steelix roared its defiance to the sky. It expected its targets to flee—scampering for the faux protection of the nearby valley. They would then join the other prisoners who ended up caught in the ground-type mess at its center. “Then, I believe we are in agreement.” With surprising deftness, he turned to face the metal snake. “Anne, would you be so kind?”

With a silent nod, the lizard opened her mouth. For an instant, her severed tongue became visible—a useless stump that served little purpose. Then, a Hydro Pump burst from its center. The Intelleon hoped that would be enough to send it tumbling into its hole.

[attr="class","nikita"]“It is.” Nikita remarked simply to Kazimir. There was no pity in his blue-grey gaze. Then again, these days, he wondered if he was allergic to such feelings. He had certainly known people to develop a lactose allergy later in life. Perhaps it was the same for vulnerable emotions.

Nikita watched as the Brute Bonnet dissolved into purple-tinged ashes. If not for a need to conserve bullets, he would have stepped in to put the thing out of its misery. As it breathed its last. “Fire is a terrible way to go.” He was fortunate that the concussive blasts had killed his family long before the flames reached them. Only his grandson’s Vulpix—named Snowy—showed any sign of what had happened that night.

As the Scream Tail emerged, Nikita shook his head. Before he could unload his handgun into the dastardly thing, Kazimir threw himself between them.

“As I said, they are swarming creatures.” His only thanks to the bulkier gentleman came as a single nod—the closest he came to gushing these days. It was not as if he had been in much danger, after all.

Then again, if the outrageous idea of their existence was to be believed, it was he and his companion who summoned them. And, as the battle wore on, they would no doubt be forced to think of more nightmarish creatures. It truly was an interesting, if annoying, mechanism. Before he could give out an order, Mirabella gritted her teeth. With agonizing concentration, she turned to face the disgusting little imitator behind her. Look at those nasty teeth and that garish ponytail! An insult to their kind!

Even as it was tossed away, the Wigglytuff gave chase. Her strange, undulating cry somehow more primal than the prehistoric creature himself. The next sigh sounded as if his very soul left his body. “I am sure she will be fine.”

For the hundredth time that night, Nikita wished he had brought a flying type. Ignoring the pain in his shoulder—the result of an earlier battle with @tempest—he threw out another Pokeball. Unfortunately, Ignatius was down. That left him with no choice but to rely on a rather new acquisition. Another result of a client who thought he bartered in flesh. “I believe we can be of some assistance."

A Lanturn emerged from the fading red light. It was obviously much younger than anything on Nikita’s team. It wore a wide smile and still had the sparkle of youth in its eyes. Something war would soon rid him of. “Use Blizzard, please.” With a gurgling noise, the fish did was asked. The harsh, keening winds of ice soon pushed the mist away in a blinding, white snowstorm.

NOTE: Nikita is up to lose one of the two new Pokemon. Well, I am.

SUPPLY: Timely Tunnels [RT]

[attr="class","nikita"]In this scenario, Nikita was grateful for his diminished hearing—a first. While certainly unpleasant, the gunfire did not leave his ears bleeding or the inside of his skull feeling like a rock tumbler. Though it likely helped that this was far from his first (or even hundredth) gunfight. “Are you all right, Miss Sleigh?” The sidearms were not made for prolonged firing.

As the group cobbled itself back together, Nikita shifted his own gun into his hand. As the number of rounds available dropped down, the former officer would rise from his crouch and fire a single shot at one of the remaining grunts. It soon became apparent why grey matter—as it was splattered all over the wall behind the woman—was referred to as such. “That should buy us some time.”

The cart suddenly jerked forward as the Tauros collapsed fully to the ground. Its doleful eyes, once thrilled by the sight of fresh, green grass, saw no more. If Nikita believed in a true afterlife (and not a strange cycle of ghouls and reincarnation), he might have offered some platitude about it being in a better place. But he did not.

Pausing briefly to ensure his companion Pokemon was well, Winters found himself under attack. The burned Cradily had managed to thrash the flames out against the wall—looking bruised but none the worse for wear. “Dily!” It grumbled, giant vines bursting from the ground to wrap around the skeletal hound. As it wrapped him more tightly, it spit some small, burr-like seeds at the crazed monkey. These sought to leech him of his energy, healing the burns left by the now wriggling dog.

As the vines pulled tighter—seeking to pull apart whatever magic adhered Winters’s bones—the dog’s body began to glow with a vicious, ghoulish flame. This sparked the dry vines, but they remained tightly bound. “Can you and your…hooligan help him out?”

The last grunt turned to call for reinforcements, just as Nikita dove from the front of the cart. "I am going to try and get us moving again." With a click he removed the dead Tauros from its harness. It slumped like a puppet relieved of strings.

[attr="class","nikita"]At the negative reaction, the fairy-type’s irritation grew. How dare this—this beast insult her voice in such a way! She had trained at fine vocal academies beside her trainer! It took air sharply through its nose, blowing up like a balloon as its sound grew in volume. Then, the thing shook off some white, dusty things onto her blush-colored fur. “Tuf!” Her tiny arms lifted to protect her face as she staggered back.

What a nasty, naughty thing! Spraying me with dandruff! Fortunately, the stun spore didn’t take immediate effect. With a shake of her marshmallow body, the Wigglytuff rocketed toward the Brute Bonnet. “Wiggly!” With a surprisingly fierce cry, it landed on the plant with all the fury of a typical Play Rough. As its last attack hit, the thing froze like a Deerling in the headlights. Sparks arced across its fur like lightning on a Tesla coil.

With three Pokemon in tight quarters, the Houndstone’s movements were a carefully orchestrated dance. Just as he attacked one head, another would dart at his bony legs. Electricity sparked across the dragon’s scales as the Iron Hands smashed into it with a clang. At the same time, the ghoulish hound touched down. “!?” A pained yelp emerged as he dropped to the ground with a bony clutter.

With a glare at his compatriot, Winters clambered back to his feet. When the green flames began to rain, the hound again leaped into the fray. This time, his attack aimed to bounce the dragon’s attacks off of (and into) one another like balls in a Newton’s cradle.

Nikita, meanwhile, was left to pat out a fire on his suit. "We should try to finish these quickly." A sigh pushed from his reedy chest. "These things are like Carvanha."

Again, the girl’s difficulty with human language reared its head. Though he wished to correct her—resembling his mother in the process—he held his tongue. An hour of scolding was not enough to change a person’s speech patterns. It would be a useless endeavor to try. So, though it pained him, the detective would leave such things without common.

If the idea of a Pokemon-human family bothered him, it did not show. In his life, he had seen many human families that were far more toxic and maladjusted than this pack. Aside from her lack of education, Nikita saw nothing to worry about. “Well, I hope child services sees it the same.” Eventually, the tales of an orphaned child would reach someone’s ears. A person who still managed to care about such things in this land of war and death.

The arrogant pup received no acknowledgment for his actions. It would learn its lesson, one way or the other. It was apparent which canine was in charge. His skeletal tail gave a single wag in response. Though there was a shyness to that gesture. He did not enjoy what his body had become. From a sleek, fiery predator to a constant reminder of his death, his failure.

Like the tobacco in his cigarette, this annoyance’s potential payoff went up in smoke.“I see.” Nikita sighed. “Quite unfortunate.” The why of this man’s disappearance would remain a mystery—for now. Fortunately, their target’s escape had not been very orderly. A blind man could track the man. After a while of this, the wild child spoke up again.

“We know he was wearing a jacket.” Or, at least, he had been in one when he’d disappeared. As he had not yet seen it, Nikita assumed it was still on his body. The air was crisp but not deadly. “It will buy him some time.” On the air, the pack would detect the scent of metal. And, if they listened closely, make out the sound of something in pain.

Nikita continues to survey the scene with a sharp eye. He notes the room’s layout and the strange location of the corpse. He attempts to calculate the trajectory required to land a body so perfectly upon that altar. It is there that he notices another oddity—-the way the arms have been lain.

“Hm.” Much of his work is done in contemplative silence—far from the theatrics common to fictional detectives.

At the other detective’s comment, Nikita turns to face him. “I am sure it was quite the sight.” His voice shows no signs of being impressed—it is his typical, cool tones. “We will have the detectives search the surrounding forest.” Not because he believes they will find anything, but because he would rather not deal with the bravadoes in a badge. Typically, a wild Swanna chase provided a simple distraction.

The police officer’s voice drew him from his contemplations. His jaw stiffened. “Also, Gregory, please have them take inventory.” If something was actually missing, then it was a notch in favor of young Navidson’s theory. Otherwise, it would require further investigation.

“Typically, I do not indulge in unfounded theories—” It was better to wait until he had all of the evidence. “But, I believe the scene has been staged.” He walked closer to the young man on top of the altar. “The body’s positioning is strange. Something unlikely to occur by happenstance.” Grey-blue eyes lifted to the bell above. He smirked.

[attr="class","nikita"]The detective sighed as his companion expressed a do-gooder mindset. It was the sort of thing that got people killed—typically the people who clung to such idealism. Such lofty inflexibility also tended to snap the person with those morals. There was a reason trees that bent were the least likely to snap. Instead of responding to this, however, Nikita simply nodded. “I see.”

Hopefully, one of those saved lives would not relieve the man of his own. It’d be quite a mess to clean up. And, perhaps, a pity. There was a place for heroes in this world. It just was not here or now. “I do not believe a sense of self-preservation does anyone harm.” An ironic statement from the man who subsisted on revenge, alcohol, and illicit substances. In many ways, it was a stretch to call him a man at all—revenant would be a more accurate term.

Discussions of moral philosophy had no place on the battlefield, however. There were more immediate concerns. As the second creature appeared, Nikita could not resist a flat, “How astute.” He sighed. “I hadn’t noticed.’ Unfortunately, Winters was occupied with their multi-headed friend. His surprisingly swift movements seemingly made to tie the creature up in knots.

“Tch.” Skeletal fingers slid down to his belt. The Pokemon he tossed out was not his—it was something a woman left with him. For some reason, she decided chattel payments were still in fashion. In the end, he felt guilty ridding himself of the creature. “Come out, Mirabella.” A Wigglytuff burst from its depths. Her expression was haughty and domineering. “Hit it with a disarming voice.”

[attr="class","nikita"]Tired eyes flicked to the Luxray as it raced across the sand and surf. The detective sighed. “Unfortunately, that is not an option, Mister Quinn.” Though he did not seem too perturbed by that. While this man likely had nothing to do with the tragedy that’d befallen the Sokolov family, he was a symptom of it. And, healing could not happen until you’d excised all of the tumors.

The man threw his arm up as the bright light of the terralization burst like an ink firework. A strangely contradictory meeting of bright and night. With a growl, he turned back to the battlefield. Unfortunately, that only resulted in him being blinded anew. A hiss in the air and a sudden feeling of coldness were his only warning.

“NNGH!” Blood erupted from his shoulder as the first ice shard speared him through it. With a hiss, he fell into a crouch to clutch at his suddenly cold arm. The other two ice shards smashed into crystalline shards on the tree behind him. Due in no small part to his ghoulish hound’s interference. The Glalie—reeling from poison—rushed forward. But he did not move to attack until the light went out.

Nikita rose to his feet, ignoring the dampness of his dark button-up. ”Well played.” In a flash, he’d leveled his gun at Tempest and fired. But two could play at that game. "My turn."

[attr="class","nikita"]While Detective Winters often missed his corporeal body, he had to admit this one possessed its own advantages. The ability to disappear into othingness—leaving fools batting at non-existent phantoms—was one of them. As the cart rounded the path, the Rockets were left surprised by their own trap. A few of them tried to scramble together a defense.

With the bright light, Nikita was forced to throw his arm across his eyes. Even his tinted glasses did nothing to stop the glow. "Tch!" When he could see again, the scene had changed. What had been an ambush was an even match.

The Passimian's elation earned a derisive snort. "How…barbaric." But he knew war was never pretty. It was not some turn-of-the-century romance novel. It left loose ends. Blood and ichor were commonplace.

As the dog turned to face the remaining operatives, one of the men panicked. Nikita saw his eyes drop before his arm moved. "Get down!" The man shouted as he slid behind the cart's front seat.

"FUCK YOU!" The man screamed from beside his crumpled Emboar. The first gunshot was way off course, bouncing off the ground with a visible spark. Soon enough, the narrow battlefield sang with an orchestra of ricochets.

One of them pulled a gun and began to shoot at the invisible things encroaching upon them.

At some point, a bullet knocked into the ghoulish hound's muzzle—chipping a fleck of bone. “Stone!” With a snarl, Winters dove for the terrified man's hand.

His teeth clamped together with an audible CLAP, shearing bone like a butcher's knife. When he pulled back, the dark stone was dyed a deep maroon. The gun dropped to the ground with the shooter's hand still attached.

But the wild shooting has a victim. With a distressed bellow, the fire Tauros collapsed to the ground. It struggled to rise as blood-flecked foam filled its throat. "Roooooos…" It called out to its partner—the yoke preventing it from providing comfort as ice filled it's limbs.

Reinvigorated by this, the thugs cobbled their motley forces together for a second round.

The detective could not quite prevent a laugh. "Miss Ettie, there is nowhere in this realm that is safe." Though he did not believe the surface to be any better. And it would not be until they wipe the stain or Rocket from the world.

When she spoke of the superiority of numbers, the detective shuddered. In almost all circumstances, he preferred solitude. It allowed one to respond without worrying about sensitivities and differences of opinion. "I, unfortunately, have to disagree." In close quarters and dark deeds, there was a charm to being alone.

The detective pauses thoughtfully. "Interesting.” He paused to consider her description for a moment. "There are similar cases in the general populace, but that is typically sparked by a head injury." He thought back to Samuel and the boy's recent attempts to venture beyond picture books. "If we run into one another again, I may have some items that can assist." It is then that he recalls a rather peculiar service.

Perhaps she would do better if the entire pack learned as well. "There is a doctor that holds literacy classes for Pokemon. Perhaps it will be easier with…assistance." Nikita quite enjoyed literature. He could not imagine a life without it. No doubt the child has encountered her fair share of obstacles due to her illiteracy. Certainly ignored a warning sign or two. A bad habit she continued as she willingly followed him into the darkness.

The Houndstone stares between the Ultra Beasts and the strange helmeted things before him. While he does not enjoy unfair fights, he does not seem a reason to immediately interfere. It is not clear which side of the fight he should be on. Neither of their constructions seems auspicious. Fortunately, it seems the wild pup will make the decision for him.

Nikita watches as the Nihelego collapses, rubbing at a mark from where one had earlier stung him. He does not feel pity for it as it falls to the ground. He turns to the Marshadow with a firm nod. “Thank you, Delle.” Then, he begins to take measured steps toward the mysterious creature. As he draws near, he recognizes it. “A Type: Null? Interesting.” These things rarely existed outside of the lab—the sacrifice required for their make-up was too much for many to stomach. Slipping the gun away, Nikita grabs a poison from within his suit coat.

This he gently spritzes on the creature’s face, careful to avoid any sudden movements. “I believe this mystery even more concerning than the ship’s log.” If he had been in a Rocket’s possession, how had that man gotten one. “I do not think we should leave them here,” But he did not have an extra Pokeball on him. With a huff, the ghost hound dropped to the ground in front of them.

[attr="class","nikita"]The detective’s teeth ground together as he watched the Iron Jugulus’s acrobatics show. If it was not being used for terroristic nonsense, he might have gone so far as to admire it. “Tch.” Instead, he was left to come up with a plan to stall it while facing down the mad dragon rider before him. It’d be easy if Icarus was not back at camp. Without a hurricane, the detective was left to improvise.

As the dragon did its little trot, he threw out another Pokeball. From it, a Glalie emerged—obviously still a bit beleaguered from its earlier fight. “Barbara.” The Alakazam nodded in acknowledgment. “Get Ignatius as close to that thing as you can.” With a glow of blue, the Alakazam teleported the floating ball of ice just slightly perpendicular to the dragon’s path. The detective trusted he would know the best way to stop it.

His eyes flaring a bright, demonic red, the Glalie attempted to freeze the dragon in place with a disgustingly bitter Sheer Cold. The same energy that kept him floating on the ground allowed him to easily maneuver in the air above—albeit at slow speeds. If that did not work, there was one more plan hidden within those craters. Let us today be dragonslayers, old friend. The ice-type thought as it stared down the tri-headed aberration in front of him.

The Alakazam remained poised at her trainer’s back in case of another long-range attack. While Nikita did not care for his own life, she and Master Sam did. And, she would not allow him to take the easy way out of this pit he’d sunken into. “Ah, Scapulimancy. Charming.” The sheer mysticism of her answer made his nose wrinkle.

“I thought that had gone out of practice with the cavemen.” Not one to allow villains their monologues, Nikita and Winters did not stop at the Play Rough. Instead, the ghoulish hound vanished into the ether with a Phantom Force. Now, it was a waiting game.

One tired eye remained on the battle in the distance.
