Thankfully Olliver had managed to nab the Munna. Such a Pokemon would be instrumental in his future projects. Or at least he had assumed as much, given the research that had been taking place among the other researchers within Rocket. "Good one, you two. Indeedee, collect the pokeball and bring it back to me, if you would." Just as it had been ordered to, the Indeedee would retrieve the pokeball and hand it to Olliver.
[break]
With the Munna secured, Olliver would turn his attention towards the ranger that was now traveling beside him. The man had proceeded to call forth a set of Ninetails that were both rather large for their size. "Interesting.. This is my first time seeing an Alolan variant of Ninetails in person. Up to this point, I've only ever read about them."
[break]
It wouldn't be long before a wild Furfrou would arrive, causing a scene, albeit a brief one. It had seemed to be injured, this leading Josh to attempt to assist it. Just what had injured it though?? Olliver couldn't quite tell the precise thing that had caused it's injuries. What he could tell though was that the injuries that had coated the Furfrou's exterior had been blunt force trauma.
[break]
"Hm.. I am certainly willing to investigate your Pokemon, if it is something that you are genuinely offering. Especially if this is something that you believe to be linked to the space-time distortions that are cropping up across Hoenn."
[break]
As he had continued to speak with Josh, another Pokemon would enter the area. A Medicham. Presumably the one that had caused harm to the Furfrou that had just entered the area. For some reason.. It's body had been glowing red. It was almost as though it had taken quite the beating and had been preparing to unleash the same upon another.
[break]
"I see what happened now.. Metagross, use Psychic one more." Having received it's command, the Metagross would exert a powerful psychic force from the X on it's face, causing the Medicham to be knocked back a few feet. "Indeedee, follow up with Stored Power." Another round of brutal psychic attacks would bombard the Medicham. And to wrap things up after that?? Well Olliver would hurl a pokeball at the Medicham.

Rather than take the risk of running into one of these Ultra Beasts without a Pokemon to protect him, Olliver would call forth his Metagross. He was certain that the Shadow Lugia would be enough to protect the pair of them but wasn't about to go into things unprotected.
[break]
Once his Metagross had stood beside him, Olliver would turn back towards Gavin and offer him a curt nod in response. "Yeah.. You're right. My apologies." He would then proceed to close the gap between himself and Gavin, standing by his side rather than behind him.
[break]
His mind would then begin to ponder over the question that Gavin had just asked him. Just what had he made of this place?? "Well.. I suppose that it's interesting to me that we are technically still within the confines of Fortree City. If I'm being honest, it almost feels like another place entirely. What with the yellow skies and whatnot.."
[break]
A thought would then dawn on him. If this was to be considered another place then just what kind of differences had been made?? That thought in mind, Olliver would reach into his bag and proceed to remove a few of the handheld machines that he had only brought out during space-time distortions. A Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observer and a Handheld Video Camera. For the time being, he would leave his stopwatch and PDA within the bag.
[break]
With his machinery in hand, Olliver would call forth his Indeedee. He would then hand her the camera whilst attaching the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observer to his belt. "Be sure to record everything that you see, Indeedee. And as for you, Metagross, keep an eye out for any danger. Whatever you see, we'll process once we get back to HQ."
[break]
His gaze would soon return to Gavin and a soft smile would be offered to the man. "From what I've managed to gather, before we came out here, the places that pertain to the Ultra Beasts always seem to be rather strange. I'm not sure if it's from the wormholes that called forth the beasts or the Ultra Beasts themselves but.. I'm curious to find out just what I can learn from these things."

"Ah.." There was a trainer atop the shiny Beedrill that he hadn't noticed earlier.  Despite the fact that he couldn't quite hear the words of the individual, Olliver had realized that he might be seen in the wrong her. At least in the eyes of the authorities. "My apologies..!! I didn't see you atop of that thing!!" A possibly worthless apology if she couldn't hear him either.
[break]
Once Shalin had dropped down into the area beside him, Olliver would offer her an anxious smile. One that had a tinge of truth behind it but was admittedly partly faux. "Again, I apologize for close encounter.. I hadn't quite realized that there was someone riding atop that Beedrill. From below, it's a bit harder to make you out."
[break]
As he had spoken to her, his eyes would manage to flit between both Shalin and her Beedrill. One that he would recognize as Queen Zing from the Otome game that pertained to one Shalin Nariya. This Shalin Nariya that was currently standing before his very eyes. Just why was he encountering the people from these games..??
[break]
Whilst he had been apologizing to Shalin, a couple of Pokemon would begin to creep up on the pair. They had caught wind of the Flash Cannon from earlier and had come to investigate...
[break]
An Espartha and a Watchog. The Espartha hadn't quite made its move yet but the Watchog?? Figuring that now was a good a time as any, the Watchog would rush towards Olliver and attempt to bite him!! Thankfully Olliver's Metagross had been keeping an eye on the surroundings and had thrown itself in the direction of the beast. In an attempt to prevent the creature from harming it's master, the Metagross would take a reckless full-body charge and slam into the Watchog, causing damage to it whilst sustaining damage from it's bite.
[break]
"What in the hell...??"

Having received the order to visit one of the Head Scientists, Oliver would immediately begin to head over to the mans laboratory. From what he had understood about Oscar, he had been the current Head Scientist of Engineering and a former Rocket Beast. Truly a man that Olliver had revered. The rank of Head Scientist.. It wasn't one that could be easily obtained. Especially not for someone as lowly as Olliver himself.
[break]
After a few minutes of rushing through the halls, with his Indeedee by his side, Olliver would inevitably find himself outside of the mans door. "Alright, Indeedee.. Let's hope that this goes well." Olliver would then proceed to knock on the door before proceeding into the room.
[break]
As he had rounded the corner of the door, Olliver's eyes would begin to survey the area. In addition to Oscar, whom had already been a rather key thing within his focus, Olliver would take note of the machinery that had resembled a human arm. "Oh?" A brief moment would pass as Olliver's gaze had centered on the arm. Once that moment had come to an end though, he would immediately turn his attention towards Oscar.
[break]
"Apologies for the delay, Mr. Clayton. I had to wrap a few things up before making my way here. Might I ask why it is that you called for me..?" Every now and then, Olliver's gaze would flit towards the machinery and then back towards Oscar. "Is it, perhaps, for my extensive knowledge on the Biology and Physiology of both humans and Pokemon?"

It would take a lot for Olliver not to allow a sigh to escape from his lips. The aggravation that had dwelt within Zev's voice had been enough to show that his fears were correct: In the eyes of the higher ups, he wasn't really much of anything. Just another fool, despite his extensive time in school to assist them.
[break]
"I see.." The gist of the information that he had just received was primarily stuff that he had already learned during the meeting. As such, he didn't have a ton to really say about what he is hearing. "Father Winter, Quanto, Nisa Holo, and the accomplice. I'll keep it in mind and see if I can dig anything up about them." Perhaps he should have requested the assistance of another.
[break]
With the distortion having come to an end, Olliver would begin to collect his machines and notepad. It would take a moment for him to cease the readings that they were taking, in addition to stowing them all back in his bag, but it would ultimately be done within a short span of time. From there, he would return his Pokemon to their pokeballs. "I guess that we should head back now. With the distortion gone, there isn't much else for us to learn. Thank you for the assistance."
[break]
One way or another, he was eventually going to be of use to the organization. It might not be in the immediate future but.. He would get there in time. The only real question is what the catalyst for such utility would be.

As a harshly raging sandstorm would burst into creation around Metagross and Hatenna, Olliver would find himself caught in the blows as well. He had been riding atop the Metagross all this time.. And now he was being battered by the sands alongside his Pokemon.
[break]
To ensure that he didn't get any of the harsh sands within his nose or mouth, Olliver would immediately throw his arm up over his face. "You've got to be fucking kidding me..!!" Quite honestly, things might have looked even worse for Olliver if it wasn't for the fact that his Pokemon had been using Magnet Rise. Rather than allow himself to suffer, Olliver would lightly tap his foot against the Metagross, indicating that it should rise above the sandstorm. And thankfully, much as he had hoped, it would do exactly that.
[break]
"Screw this damned sandcastle." With a better line of eyesight upon the two target Pokemon now, Olliver would remove a pokeball from his bag. The Hatterene had been struggling in this storm, and as such, Olliver would be sure to send a pokeball in its direction. "Gwylim, we need to bring this damned thing down!"

The fact that Josh didn't care all that much for Pokemon that he couldn't ride had been a rather unsurprising one. From what he had managed to gather about the man, racing had been his entire thing. "Well, in that case, I'll continue to focus on this particular one."
[break]
A short laugh would escape from the mans mouth as he would command his Indeedee to follow up with the same attack. "Once more, Stored Power." The psychic energies would flow from the Indeedee and culminate atop of the Munna, causing it to recoil in pain. Unlike the last time though, this Munna was going to fight back. An odd psychic wave would be called forth by the Munna and would slam into the Indeedee, causing it to fall to one knee.
[break]
Figuring that things might not look all that great for his Indeedee, Olliver would opt to hurl a pokeball at the Munna. He had hoped that his attacks were enough to knock it down a peg, thus making it easier to catch.
[break]
Unfortunately for Olliver and his Indeedee, there had still been a remaining Pokemon on the field. A single Stufful that had been simply watching up to this point. It hadn't quite rushed off towards them beforehand but now..?? It had begun to rush towards the Indeedee, hoping to flail around aimlessly, in hopes of bringing it down. Whilst Olliver might not have been paying attention to this, his Metagross had. As such, it would proceed to use Psychic against the Stufful, swatting it back with a powerful blow of telekinetic energy.
[break]
"I.. Good looking out, Metagross." Whilst waiting to see the results of his attempt to catch the Munna, Olliver would respond to Josh on what he had asked earlier. "As for my field of study, Josh, I'd have to say Biology and Physiology. In regards to both humans and Pokemon."

"Hm.." It was already evident that Olliver didn't have enough information about the space-time distortions or the events that had been transpiring for quite some time. Perhaps he had been living under a rock with all that time spent focusing solely on his research back in Littleroot.
[break]
"I see..." It was embarrassing that he had been lacking so much information. And to have proven that exact fact to one of the more influential members of his organization. "In that case, as embarrassing as it is, I have a few questions to ask.." He was admittedly having a rather difficult time manifesting these words for Zev.
[break]
"Given that I am finding myself rather in the dark about such things, would you perhaps be willing to inform me of what you know?? Everything that is going on with Dialga, Palkia, and the Unown.. While I have my own theories about what's going on, that clearly isn't enough. I can't even blame the fact that I'm so new to the organization for this. It is my own ineptitude that has led to this."
[break]
"What are the things that I need to know about what's currently going on..??" A difficult question to muster together for the sake of understanding. "Until I get all the relevant information, I'm afraid that I won't be of much use to the organization. For example, who is the DRK Triad?? And Father Winter??"

With Zev having made his way back over towards Olliver, the researcher would crane his neck back towards the man. His gaze would swap between the equipment and the man himself as he had spoken up. "Useful is a tad subjective but I suppose that you could say that. From what I've managed to gather, this distortion seems to stand out from the others that have previously been encountered."
[break]
For Olliver, this was his first time within a space-time distortion. If it wasn't for the fact that information had previously been gathered by other member of Team Rocket, he wouldn't have had much else to go on. "From what I can tell, this distortion in particular is larger than those that we have come upon earlier on. Larger than the ones that have descended upon Hoenn since prior to the meteors descent anyways. It would also seem as though the distortion is moving.. slower?? While I'm not quite sure as to why, I'm hoping that the information that my machines are gathering will be enough to tell us why."
[break]
He would then begin to gesture to the area around them. "What I'm worried about is the possibility of the distortions stabilizing. While this might not seem like such a bad thing to some, the possibility of it stabilizing could likely mean that these distortions will act as gateways. To these other worlds or times.."
[break]
The more that he had spoken on the matter, the more anxious Olliver would become. While he had taken a vested interest in the multiverse as a whole, the thought of these worlds becoming one could only mean trouble. There would be an influx of Pokemon and people, each with their own goals and habits. Fuck the business between the League and Team Rocket. This could mean a war between worlds as they know it. "Or at least that's what I'm worried will happen. Given everything that is transpiring with the Unown, the legendary Pokemon, and the meteor, it is entirely possible that one of two things might happen. Either our worlds will merge completely.. or a "Big Bang" would occur, essentially creating a new universe. Whether we would merge into this new universe or not remains to be seen."

The fact that Gwylim had agreed to his terms had been rather welcomed by Olliver. It wasn't everyday that people had been willing to accept his whims. "I appreciate your willingness to work together. Besides, I was thinking that perhaps we could establish something while we were up here. Given your own experience in dealing with Pokemon, would you perhaps be willing to work with me on a thought that I've been pondering??"
[break]
Olliver had considered asking Gwylim his thoughts on why psychic Pokemon were so attracted to this mountain in particular but such a thing would have to wait. From the looks of things, as the two had been making their way up the mountain, a pair of Pokemon had been nearby. As luck would have it, it had been one of each type!! A Palossand and a Hatterene. "Glad that we made that agreement just now."
[break]
A small laugh would escape from the researcher's mouth as he would lean down to whisper to his Metagross. "Use Flash Cannon." Perhaps not the best move to utilize, given the fact that it would draw attention to themselves, but it was perhaps the easiest to make use of given the range.
[break]
After having absorbed the light around it, Metagross would emit a beam of light from the X on its face. The attack had been directed at the Hatterene and was successfully deal a blow to the Hatterene!! Hoping to ensure the health of both itself and it's companion, the Hatterene would follow up with Life Dew, thus healing itself and the Palossand.

A curt nod would be offered to the Rocket Beast as Olliver would prepare to survey the area. "Understood." Before continuing on, Olliver would remove a pokeball from his belt and call forth his Indeedee. His gaze would then turn towards his Indeedee as he pulled a notepad from his pocket and tossed it to her. "You know what to do."
[break]
With both of his intelligence gathering Pokemon out on display, Olliver would proceed in his own direction and would slowly but surely ascertain what he could from the area. As he had done so, his Indeedee would write down what was being said aloud and his Metagross was being sure to record it within each of its four brains.
[break]
"Let the record show that there is a severe lack of information pertaining to the legendary creatures known as Dialga and Palkia. What can be noted, however, is the fact that this space-time distortion seems to be larger than the average, based off of former recorded data." Taking a moment to retrieve a modified PDA from his backpack, he would start to measure the size and rate in which this particular distortion was moving. This was to double check his information with the existing information that Rocket had been provided.
[break]
The fact that this particular distortion had been stretched and expanded had already been interesting enough to warrant an additional investigation. Add in the fact that the winds and turbulence that the distortion had been putting out had been moving admittedly slower and one could assume that something big was going to occur. Perhaps not at this very moment but in the near future.
[break]
Several machines would be removed from his bag at this point, such as a handheld wind profiler, a video camera, a stopwatch, and a Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observer. Each machine would be thrown into effect as Olliver had taken a seat on the ground and continued to observe the surrounding events. "From what I can tell, this particular space-time distortion seems to be subject to slower winds and turbulence. One might assume that this will translate into a prolonged period of time in which the distortion remains. This begs the question on whether or not additional Pokemon shall appear as time goes on. Or perhaps.. What would occur if we remain within the distortion for the entirety of this time??"
[break]
"The interior of the distortion seems to be stretched and expanded, almost as if zoomed out to the point where colors and patterns in the swirling membrane of interdimensional interference are almost blurring. Is this perhaps a sign that the collision of worlds is leading up to a full union?? Is the sphere in which we live in finally melding to the point of unison??"

The DRK Triad, Nisa Holo, and some additional woman that was presumably a member of this DRK Triad.. There were too many variables that Olliver didn't understand. Whether it was due to his inexperience, lack of time in Team Rocket, or whatever other reason, there just wasn't enough information to be had for the newfound researcher. He wouldn't come right out and admit it but it had bothered the hell out of him that he was so in the dark here.
[break]
For the time being, Olliver would remain quiet and just focus on the presentation at hand. He would have to ask others about the lack of information towards the end of this. For now though, he would simply continue to write down any information that seemed to crop up.
[break]
Once Cillian Quinn had chosen to speak up about the mystery woman, Olliver would be sure to turn his attention towards him. Not only had he witnessed this woman's appearance before but he had managed to gather a few decent chunks of information pertaining to her Pokemon. Unsurprising for an Underboss but still something to keep in mind. 
[break]
As many others would continue to speak up, it would finally dawn upon Olliver that there were multiples of the legendary Pokemon out there now. With the colliding of the universes, it was something that he should have picked up on now. Especially given the fact that this DRK Triad had seemingly been working for Arceus. Or in other words.. Their worlds Arceus, if they were to speak the truth. Suddenly, things had gotten much more complicated.
[break]
The more that this thought had ruminated within his mind, the more interested he had found himself in this multiversal theory. Whilst his primary focus had been on the biology of Pokemon as a whole, he couldn't rule out the fact that his interest was now caught. If he was going to be useful to Team Rocket in the coming days than he was going to have to learn more about the multiverse as a whole. The only question would become.. How??
