The detective has the wherewithal to jump away from the ship as the boot slammed down where his fingers had been. With a powerful kick, he moved himself into a hover over the deck. While the rotting flesh was apparent, it was the man’s scent that hit him most strongly. With a cough, Nikita lifted his arm to cover his nose. “A Megalopan—” Before he can make any further conclusions, the undead creature swipes clumsily at him.

Dodging this gives the detective enough room to avoid the biting petals of a Springtide Storm. “Much appreciated.” Wan eyes quickly moved from the corpse to its puppeteer. “You would be better served by targeting its wielder, however.” With a quiet tch, he tossed out a Kleavor. But its rocky skeleton shone a brilliant green—a darker, more emerald shade than its Kantoian counterpart. “Stone axe, Ramses. If you would be so kind.”

Able to float in this environment, the rock type rocketed toward the Nihelego and its prisoner. The creature ignored the remnants of the Springtide Storm. Its hands rose like a guillotine as it brought them smashing down onto the two largest tentacles. Hissing blood erupted as the squid reared back with a call of alarm. The body dropped temporarily to the ship’s deck—a marionette with a dropped crossbar.

In this gap, Nikita lifted an arm to chuck a Pokeball at the Ultra Beast. It was not that he wanted it, but it was a simple way to remove it from the battlefield. “I believe we found mummy.” His thoughts cast back to the eggs a few dozen feet below. As the ball cluttered to the ground, the man saw what lay behind it: another corpse.

This one was human and familiar. “Well, that is a pity.” The detective murmured. “All this fretting for a corpse.” Some part of him wanted to scream. Maybe to fire a few rounds into the Rocket operative’s bleeding chest.

But that would not be very elegant or useful. It was no better than lashing out at a hallucination. So, with gritted teeth and the beginning of a headache, he turns to the motley crew behind him. “Are you hurt?”

SURVEY: Dwayne + Nikita

POSTED ON Sept 20, 2023 12:39:53 GMT

[attr="class","nikita"]

The air stank of centuries in isolation—a strange, stale smell tainted by the odor of algae and rot. Inside, the space was dark with the exception of the occasional glowing glyph. The Houndstone’s red eyes lent a devilish glow to the craggy walls around them. Each step echoed in these secret halls. When his fix could not be found—the criminals vanished into hibernation—the study of history presented a salve. Though it echoed with the howls of the dogs of war, there was something almost enthralling about this forgotten place.

With the astuteness of a hound, Nikita followed the labyrinthine passageways to a large, open cavern. At the room’s center, a strange gem glowed. “Hm.” The detective is reminded of many stories about the follies of greed. And, yet, it seemed worth examining it—recent events had shown that a simple rock could make a difference. The obstacles prior to this one provided some mental stimulation. Detective Winter’s incorporeality, however, made quick work of many traps and spiked walls. Riddles written in forgotten languages were solved via simple Google searches and a bit of legwork.

A few chunks of rock served to test the pressure plates—many of them standing out from lack of wear. Slowly, he picked his way across the room. Floating above the ground, his Houndstone did not pay any mind to the shifting landscape beneath him. “Hm.” The stone glimmered in odd shades—like an opal with the wrong texture. “It seems there is a—”

Something clicked behind him. A pressure plate, perhaps? In the room, an unseen spout opened.

SHORE: Nikita + Tempest

POSTED ON Sept 20, 2023 12:29:43 GMT

[attr="class","nikita"]

Though the mysteries of this place should have taken priority, the siren of vengeance’s call was a strong one. Until their organization was scattered like the ruins of his home, Laelaps would continue his hunt. The hound’s figurative paw pads would be worn raw and stained red. Teeth ground to nothing from fights and close calls. Rumors circulated through the communication lines. A dozen different high-priority Rockets supposedly spotted

While preferring stealth to brutish confrontation, Nikita could not deny himself a chance at a potentially vital catch. A Houndoom skull mask had been slipped over his face, the bone-white thing designed to filter out noxious gas. “Bors en route to engage.” The normally isolated man uttered into the radio. “Which one?” The device in his ear crackles back. The detective sighs. “The elder.”

As always, his Houndstone was just a few steps behind—its skeletal toes never touching the craggy ground beneath

As he rounded a crag, he found himself staring at the back of an infamous Rocket. A reputation perhaps due moreso to the man’s connections than any specific accomplishments. A Pokeball was rolled between skeletal, nicotine-stained fingers. With a centering breath, he opened it. There was no taunting or pointless announcing of his presence. This was real life, not a comic book.

A Glalie erupted from the ball, its blue eyes narrowed in determination. "Go." From its frame, a powerful Blizzard erupted—aimed to not only damage the target but to obscure his vision. Perhaps long enough for the detective’s sidearm to be brought into play.

SKY: Xenon + Nikita

POSTED ON Sept 19, 2023 12:29:28 GMT

[attr="class","nikita"]

After uncovering the solution to another riddle, the detective was ordered to take a break. This he resisted until the supervising agent practically forced him from the communications room. With a final glare, he and Winters wandered toward the far shore. Eventually, he found a flat, broad rock to sit upon. Its low height, however, left his legs folded at awkward angles.

Legs dangling over the tumultuous waves, he pondered the height of the fall—a classic case of call of the void. Nikita ran through a hundred moral debates about the conflict raging beyond this isolated point. But any of these hypotheticals meant nothing in the face of his vindictiveness. While he doubted any of the Rockets he faced had set the bomb’s fuse, they were cogs in the same damnable device,

From within his breast pocket, he pulled out a small pack of organic cigarettes. A will-o-wisp from his Houndstone set it alight, the glow temporarily an eerie purple.

Movement over his shoulder caught his attention. Tired eyes shifted to where his Intelleon stood. One of its long arms was extended skyward towards a distant figure. As far as Nikita knew, this sector had been declared a no-fly zone. Which meant this was either an enemy or some simple-minded fool who ignored the rulebook. “Wait.” The man cautioned his lizard—the last thing he wished to do was give away their position prematurely.

Only when the flying figure swept into range would the Intelleon reappear. “Snipe shot.” Without hesitation,she fires a blisteringly fast bolt of water at the distant figure. A third Pokemon joined him—an older, female Alakazam. “Catch them if they fall.” What seemed merciful was simple utility. It was difficult t interrogate someone when their skull was in pieces.

“The skeleton?” The detective turns to face the white-haired with a raised brow. Was that not the term used by the mass hallucination victims? The ones sucked into some alternate dream dimension by a deranged moose? “Considering its depictions, that name is surprisingly accurate.” Though he was not certain if its body was truly a skeleton or just structured to look like one. “It is better than most things of public conscience.” Tings like Boaty McBoatface came to mind.

The child’s introspection is not interrupted. In fact, Nikita is grateful for it—though his curiosity makes him want to pry. To experience twenty years of memories before being stuffed back into a child’s body must be very disorienting indeed. And, he wondered just how much the mind could be allowed to remember. But something in her gaze seemed tragic, and the last thing he needed was a sob story cobbled together with broken English.

He was not a quilt—comfort was not his strong suit. Only Robin had found charm in his attempts. The children adored him, but he offered solutions before empathy. Fortunately, she soon shook off the malaise. “I think that is for the best.” No doubt—like the rest of this place—it was alarmed against intrusion. With undesired gentleness, he let the covering flop back over them. Again, the Nihelego were plunged into a black, featureless void.

With a gruff grumble, the Houndstone followed after the Mightenya. With a sigh, Nikita did the same. “Miss Ettie.” His voice was surprisingly stern. More like a parent’s scolding than his typical detached remarks. “Stay behind me.” Like all caged rats, this man was dangerous. He was armed and, without a doubt, ready to shoot anyone who came his way.

But the large boot that slammed down inches from his fingers was far too large for the weasel he was after.

Death By Nightmare

Even as he waited for an answer, the detective’s eyes continued to sweep over the assembled suspects. In some cases, the thought of an interrogation would be enough to discover a suspect. Someone would wipe their palms on a pair of trousers or lift a hand to a hidden weapon. Aside from a few sideways glances, no one gave an outward sign of treachery.

Which—to the detective—was a welcome happenstance. Cases that were so easily solved were as filling as supermarket samples—which is to say, not at all. An immediate confession did not even allow him to pull out the tablet. “Thank you.” The man offers a bow in return for the royal’s agreement. She seems the least likely to frighten someone beyond the veil.

Pulling out a chair at an old desk, the skeletal man takes a seat on the edge of the desk. He crosses his lanky legs as he stares down at Elise. “Can you start by walking me through tonight’s events?” Or, at least, her version of it. No doubt he would get a different story for every witness.” A hand ghosted over his pocket, debating on lighting up. But, in the end, manners won out.

“Leave no detail out, no matter how miniscule it seems.” It was in detail that people often tripped up. Wan, sad eyes lifted to the Mismagius. “Please feel free to interrupt if anything seems off.” After watching for a moment, the hound departed to question the Pokemon in the adjacent room

There is a pause as he remembers his etiquette lessons. He did not want to come off as a starving dog—mauling her for answers. “And, please, tell me if you need a drink.” He smiled. “I am partial to bourbon, myself.” Not that he ever ingested enough to dull his edge—not at work, anyway.

SECRET: Nikita + Joy

POSTED ON Sept 17, 2023 23:29:47 GMT

[attr="class","nikita"]

The League had asked him (ordered, to be fair) to assist with what seemed to be a riddle. Which was something he quite enjoyed—as long as they had a purpose, of course. Arriving at the provided coordinates, he set about his task. Unfortunately—though he insisted on working alone—they had insisted he had a babysitter.

Some part of him wondered if they intended her as cannon fodder.

What looked to be an ancient light served as its shattered crown. On its surface, a riddle was engraved. The language was ancient, but he quickly linked it to one of the few he’d studied. “Ah, I see.” The detective stepped away from the platform, pulling some weeds away from the stone’s surface. With a short gesture, he spread these across the ground. All this fuss over a mound of bones. Humans really are quite strange.

“I believe we’re ready to head back.” The detective turned to face @johana. The ghoulish hound at his side did the same. “It appears to be a tomb of some sort. We need a specific Pokemon to open it.” Unless he did so with brute force. Something Nikita was loathe to do. When it came to games, he disliked going outside of the rulebook.

Gesturing into the forests being baptized in blood, Nikita turned toward their base camp. “Ladies first.”

Secret: Elise & Nikita [RT]

POSTED ON Sept 17, 2023 23:26:15 GMT

[attr="class","nikita"]

The island proved a taxing environment. The stones and gravel shifted like politicians’ viewpoints as they began the ascent to the communication towers. Floating a few inches above the earth, his Houndstone did not seem the least bit inconvenienced. As they walked, Nikita made note of the landscape around him—the species of trees, the color of the water, and the sounds of battling in the distance.

When Elise spoke, it jerked him from this silent contemplation. Suddenly, he remembered that he was not alone enjoying a silent reverie. When he returned her pleasantries, it did not sound authentic. “It is, indeed.” At the talk of doing well, the detective barely resisted a wry chuckle. The detective had not been well for decades. While not on literal drugs back then, he’d still been a slave to his inner beast—the eternal mystery hound. Only his continued existence kept him going. “I remain much the same, I’m afraid.”

He had met Navidson. It was difficult to impress him, and the now gym leader had barely squeaked past the bar. If he was to trust this royal—a child playing noir detective—she would have needed to be a clone. “I do not think now is an appropriate time for freelance work, Miss Calcifet.” The smile he flashes is awkward and flat.

“Especially when—” His eyes shift to a tree just off the path. “---we are being followed.” Up in the trees, a blue figure/ flashed a signal to her trainer before it disappeared into the landscape again.

“I see.” The detective could not remember if he had the distinct pleasure of making Madame’s acquaintance before. But it was difficult to remember which hound had accompanied which outing. While known for his memory, it was best referred to as selective. And, for the most part, the girl’s team composition had not mattered. It did not satiate his particular brand of hunger. Flat eyes slid to the female hound as he offered a half bow. “My apologies for the misunderstanding.”

A friend? Hm. It felt strange for a child to be calling him that. Nor did it feel right. A soulless husk could not be anyone’s friend. Some part of him was tempted to lecture Ettie on the dangers of being far too trusting. The rest, however, would take advantage of whatever route presented itself on his way to a target—no matter how deplorable. “Well.” Instead of protesting this title, the detective offered a tight-lipped smile. “I am sure I could not stop you. Even if I tried.”

At the question, Nikita hummed thoughtfully. His expensive loafers tiptoed across the moist ground. A gloved digit brushed against the side of the ship. It did not seem to be an illusion. “There are a number of theories concerning this realm’s stranger features.” A cigarette finds a way to his mouth. “Some believe Eternatus itself absorbed them.” Bright eyes rolled to the ceiling. “Others think the rifts are to blame.” As for him, he preferred to reserve judgment until he had sufficient information.

As a bubble danced around him, the detective flicked his cigarette at it. As the ember hit it, the thing exploded with a cloud of smoke and a toxic hiss. It ate through the rock at his feet, revealing a nest of sticky, sickly-looking eggs beneath it. Within the translucent orbs, strange tentacled shapes fitfully toss and turn. “Hm.” For a moment, he wishes to stomp on its shell and turn the unborn into soup, but he decides against it.

“Do you smell anything?” The question is directed to the pack as a whole. Detective Winters, meanwhile, is following a faded human scent around the ship’s starboard side.

The detective offered the child a small nod. He had already offered a greeting, so he did not feel the need to be redundant. The elder man turned to look over the growing pack behind him. “It appears you have acquired new…friends.” His own team, meanwhile, had not changed composition in the last few months. While he certainly had struggles—with addiction and vengeance—he saw no need to hoard living creatures.

At the girl’s offer to assist, Nikita stilled for a moment. It had not been his intention to involve a child in this job. He doubted Ettie would enjoy the high-velocity spray of an execution. Or, if it came down to it, seeing a stranger pulverized and drug up the exit path without concern nor car. “I am certain their noses are far better than mine.” With the return of nicotine, his olfactory abilities had shrunken to a pinprick of their former self. “Perhaps we can finally put a blasted end to this game.”

At the sight of the hyenas, Winters sniffed. The female Mightenya’s scoffing received an irritated chuff in response. If he’d been younger—and not dead—he might have given the younger canid a lecture. The male received a dignified nod in place of a verbal greeting. Aside from the occasional clanking of bone, the dog detective was not overly given to noise. Perhaps it was because his once noble bark was a hissing, gravelly thing.

At the child’s question, he turned toward a tunnel that sloped sharply downward—its purple stalactites giving the entrance the appearance of a gaping maw. “It is this way. Follow me.” The ghoulish dog’s hidden lights lent the area a dark glow. And, before long, it highlighted the stern of what seemed to be a battleship.

The man knew his target still plumbed the depths of this twisted ocean. During his travels, he had found a few indicators of such. A discarded piece of cloth. The disemboweled corpse of one of the man’s Pokemon. And, yet, the trail curled back in on itself. It ended in a flurry of blood and guts—none of it human.

While he preferred to work alone, Nikita knew this place was one of illusions and trickery. It was best to have another set of eyes to watch out for danger and despair. When the white-haired feral child appeared at his rendezvous point, the detective was not surprised. Albeit, a little disappointed. It would be nice to risk his life with someone who spoke proper English and was well-acquainted with showering.

The Houndstone at his heels growled. Nilota turned to face the adolescent with a soft smile.

“Miss Ettie.” His wan, tired voice was as specter-like as usual. Easily mistaken for a howling ghost upon the wind. “How lovely to see you today.” His eyes stared down a nearby path. “I would like to set course for a reported shipwreck.” It had been marked on the HBIC map of this place.

It’d be a perfect place for a rat to hide.
