Power Showdown! | Pokemon Journeys (2019) VOL 2
[break]

THE ULTRA PLANT IS A DARK WORLD that is wracked by frequent thunderstorms. Lightning spears the desolate canyons and valleys of this world and massive cord-like structures bridge the gaps. Whenever lightning strikes, lights attached to these cords light up too. In the horizon, large Xurkitree can be seen, dwarfing the area you arrive in...[break][break]

Several abandoned power stations can be found throughout the area, but they seem to be deactivated...

If they subscribed to the large organism theory -- and that was a large if -- then his thoughts on the matter made perfect sense. Antibodies as pokemon swarms and hallucinogenic defense mechanisms were viable in a creature so large. The pulse was unmistakable, but it could be happenstance that it appeared to function like a heart. [break][break]

More compelling than the above, it made her wonder about the shipwreck. "Something large enough to host not only pokemon but civilizations inside of it, that we do not know of, is potentially the most ground-breaking knowledge the world has ever seen to date. I do not know what to make of the shipwreck. Is it possible the Megalopolans knew?" She was unfamiliar with their scholarship. She had barely found time to do light reading on them after Aurelie's cannibalism comment.[break][break]

"If it exists out there, it could be possible that our very world is a gigantic pokemon hosting us." That that was not out of the question was mind-boggling. She shook her head, exhausted. "For all the deities that people have sworn by, and even those that we have witnessed in Hoenn, to imagine something larger or greater than them exists... I fear it is the result of hallucinogenics."

Ameena's eyebrow arched sharply. "Jules C- you have met a Megalopolan?" She had learned a lot about them recently from her wild explorations with Seraphim and even the oddly charming jokes of Aurelie about their alleged cannibalism. She had done some reading, but she hadn't realized there were any left. And what was said about being a beacon of power... "I need to hear more about that. I hope you are available for tea sometime this week." [break][break]

She took in Silas' face as Lulu pointed him out, though there likely wasn't much value in familiarizing yourself with a dead man. The simulation flipped before them, leaving Slateport and transforming into a desert. Ameena is looking at a series of odd runic scribbles on a rock. "Huh. I wonder if this is what Cillian Quinn was doing before all this administrative stuff he does now." [break][break]

She didn't know him well -- arguably, not at all, but their excursion had been illuminating. She had been thinking of archaeology far more often after he shared that piece of his past, and she had also considered that the upper echelons of Rocket severely limited one's capacity for their own individual projects. It had stilled her desire to achieve head scientist. She could not afford to juggle steeper responsibilities within the organization if she wanted to make good progress in her studies. [break][break]

"I met him during a visit to Area Zero. I do not normally meet people interested in fossils and such, but I am sure that is true for you too, given there is little intersection between our study and his." She looked up to see the odd rock creature. "The runes might be in his area of expertise. Not so sure about this strange pokemon." She had never seen it before.[break][break]

Ameena came to with a pounding headache. She immediately realized she was not in her robes, and her second realization was that she was somewhere strange. Her third is heat on her face from the confines of a mask. Her hands jolt up to her face, touching it and then the chain that keeps it there. The chain and mask do not budge. [break][break]

"I must be dreaming," she says breathily. She moves immediately to the edge of the cell to overlook the wide circular area before her. There is no doubt in her mind this is a prison. It's circular shape screams Panopticon, but she knows of no structure in Hoenn built in this manner. [break][break]

A guard walks by. It takes her confused mind a sluggish moment to place why they look so strange. [break][break]

Megalopolans.[break][break]

Her time in the Ultra Deep Sea might not prove advantageous. She has never encountered one herself, though she knew what they looked like after Amor Rose and Aurelie Lefevre talked about the Megalopolans. Ameena turns to see two other figures in her cell baring masks that must be like her own. The mixture of known and unknown makes her confident this is a dream. As such, she needs to explore it fully for her research. "I am Ameena. Are either of you familiar with this?" She tugs on the toxic chain keeping her mask affixed.

Entering his space was an opportunity to understand him better. He had held his own well over their UDS visits, though she had been concerned about his stoicism in the beginning of the horrors they witnessed as she feared it meant Hoenn held nightmarish events for everyone who dared to look with open eyes. The RKS simulation had already soured her taste for blind exploration. [break][break]

She had been stuck in her thoughts in his absence, nearly flinching as he re-entered. She wasn't sure he was more approaching with the suit off, but the invitation to this space was as good as she was going to get, she was sure. [break][break]

She sat. His observation made sense, as she had certainly be unprepared for UDS and had found no readings for it. "I am still stuck on the evidence that that is... that there is something living in there." Or rather, that they were in something living. Pokemon could not be that massive. It would have been discovered by now, absolutely. [break][break]

Still, his wisdom about believing the impossible rang in her ears. "What do you make of what we saw?" Maybe he had processed it more thoroughly than she had.

Ameena followed based on Seraphim's voice, but once the figure was pinched, the mask slipped. Ameena took a long look at the pokemon, studying its features. She did not have a photographic memory of all pokemon, but she was so sure this one wasn't real. She had never seen it or anything like it. Humanoid pokemon were of special interest to her, so missing one like this... [break][break]

The scene descending into chaos. Everyone wanted this pokemon's head on the wall. [break][break]

"Enough!" She cried, throwing her pokeballs out on the scene to allow her Espathra to attack and Munna to put the angry crowd to sleep. The two of them kept the crowd mostly at bay. "This simulation is either engaging in a creative exercise or it knows something we have no scholarship of," she explained hurriedly as she committed the unmasked pokemon to memory. She wanted Seraphim to also take the opportunity to take the potentially real pokemon in before the simulation closed.

Its eyes are bright yellow with white stars for pupils. A leafy cloak frames its cute face, and its smile is fanged.[break][break]

Suddenly, the festival erupts into chaos. The crowds scream and point at the creature. Horrified at its appearance, the festival-goers call for its removal—and death.[break][break]

It is gentle, the return to her current mind. She has further questions about the scene, about the simulation using visions and the mental investment of psychic types despite it itself being simulated -- why go through the extra step of a psychic type as a device? -- but none were vocalized. [break][break]

She was struck by Makoto's expression. They looked... well, it reminded Ameena of one of her last memories with her mum. That kind of reminscience that was so far out of reach but so close to the heart. No time or space could create enough distance to make it untouchable. [break][break]

Gently, she said, "I think we have a learned a lot from this run. Are you ready to wake up?"

She gave the DRK triad more weight at Lulu's response. Ameena was not an expert on them, but she did think anyone with the means to alter space and time -- and inevitably, there would be more forces capable of this than they knew of, as was the natural course of things in the eccentric region of Hoenn -- would be interested in abusing something like the RKS simulations. As it was, she had heard there were some DRK triad groupings in Area Zero, though she had not encountered any. The next time she caught wind of them, she would need to see if her colleague was available to investigate.[break][break]

The concept of expansion was... interesting. What could be gained for expanding the universe? She suddenly itched for notes on Giratina and Avatarship related to the deity. [break][break]

"With how things are developing every day, it will not be long before we gather more evidence about what is happening. The consequences keep making themselves known. Area Zero and the tumorous Tera growth is just one recent mystery that we get closer to understanding. It could be a piece in a larger scheme, or a separate one altogether." Indeed, Ameena could not get over how stretched thin the research community felt despite their massive size here in Hoenn. There were too many questions. [break][break]

"If everything is about power, I can only hope we understand what power is derived from an expansion before it reaches a boiling point." She did not fear the unknown, as a scientist, but being unprepared? The thing of nightmares.
