GC EXCURSION A: AMEENA AND XENON

She considered Xenon's observations. "I have heard paradox pokemon have a connection to interdream mist, which I have yet to experience myself. I do find the paradoxes to be interesting. Many of the scientists I have met lately have had a handful of them at their disposal." She wasn't so childish as to experience FOMO, but she couldn't help but wonder if they were a massive advantage.[break][break]

She put down her seismic sensor and let the rod get situated into the ground before beeping softly, sending out waves. "I was invited to Rocket by , who has a similar body of work. The promise of resources and like-minds for dream research was, well, a dream come true." She considered that many researched her area of interest; while many under-grads did like it, most did not pursue it for long. Some thought it was pointless. Well, many areas of science were deemed pointless until a major discovery. [break][break]

"I am hoping the presence of this area will expedite my own research. If more minds turn to dream research because of the tera and interdream activity, it is all the better." She sounded quite happy about it as she checked her seismic sensor. She did not feel competitive about dream science. All hands on deck, she figured. She wanted to truly access the dream realm within her lifetime.

She wasn't so sure her partner was as cool-headed as he was playing things, but it was hard to assess. The suit made him a hard read, and she wasn't the world's leading expert in body language to begin with. She didn't pry. [break][break]

She was eager to explore the ship again, but it suddenly powered on and rose naturally above them. It moved quicker than she could in this odd air-water environment, but she supposed that the Megalopolans had carefully engineered their equipment to take advantage of the odd atmosphere's impact on gravity. "But what if something is manning the ship? It is not worth holding back now after our trekking this far. We should take advantage before anything comes to interrupt us." [break][break]

She pushed forward and floated upwards to the ship, placing her hands on it and navigating into the gaping hole they had entered into last time. She released her Espathra for protection in case something was out there in the ship, since her 'get outta dodge' senses were spectacular. It did not take long to move through the ship and realize there was nothing living on board, except... [break][break]

"Eggs? What would lay eggs here?" They were visibly not sharpedo eggs, which had distinct coloring. The stickiness of them made it seem relatively recent. The purple substance... could it be related to the gunk Seraphim had collected? She didn't dare touch it without having something to assess its make-up.

She sighed with relief as bioluminescence made the travelling easier. Having access to more senses helped her keep her wits about, though she couldn't help but feel Seraphim's silence was indicative of some displeasure. The trench had not been fun for her, but perhaps his suit had protected him from the numbness and dread she had felt. [break][break]

She raised a brow at his question but didn't turn so he could see it. Instead, she considered a solid response, wanting to take him at face value. "Fine. The trench was not ideal, but I do not have a fear of darkness. The inability to maintain a strategic line of sight for potential threats was... anxiety-inducing. But I am of a sound mind. You are feeling similarly, yes?" [break][break]

The plants suddenly went dull. Ameena looked forward to see an ambiguous shape. The tunnel didn't give them lots of room for combat, but she released Munna in front of her. The psychic used yawn, one of her more potent moves after years of using it exclusively with dream eater. The shape descended sluggishly before resting against the floor of the tunnel; as Ameena moved closer, the plants flickered on slowly and revealed it to be a dragalge. [break][break]

Ameena made sure not to disturb it as she passed. "The cavern is just ahead." Light from the cavern filtered into the tunnel, just a few meters away. They were back to the ship at last.

Ameena eagerly accepted the final handshake. "I hope we accomplish what everyone else has not." It was a common toast in the labs she used to run when she first moved to Hoenn and finalized her doctorate. Her fellow tired students had endeared themselves through her with their ambition, though their collective upholding of ethical standards kept them from being invited to her own laboratory. [break][break]

There were many questions to ask, but it all revolved around the finer inner workings of Rocket and expectations of output based on investment. She was sure she would have to produce weaponization potential for her research to keep any bigwigs happy, but Rocket could also surprise her with a fine higher-thinking and emphasis on the importance of learning what was previously unknown - pure science. [break][break]

In any case, the demands of Rocket would not halt her progress. "I will reach out to get details soon," she assured. She fully intended to keep up with her end of their bargain, if not for Rocket's resources then to avoid burning a bridge with such a refined and focused researcher.

The trench's chilled temperatures numbed her until she felt incapable of using her senses. The unending darkness rendered her sight useless, if she could even see at this point. The lack of stimulation left her hallucinating slightly. She kept imagining things coming out of the darkness or brushing against her, but nothing was ever there. She was unwilling to look behind her to see if Seraphim was still following.[break][break]

"Aha!" She cried out in other joy, her voice hoarse from unuse. Against the wall beside her was the tunnel, spitting out slightly warmer air from the massive cavern it fed into. She should have been eager to go inside, but she found herself look out past it, into the abyss. Something... she felt something, but she couldn't name it. [break][break]

In her mind, something clearly said: don't look deeper than you absolutely have to. [break][break]

She was not one to overstay her welcome. "We can get inside from here." She placed her flare at the lip of the tunnel to make it easier to see, as depth perception was negligible in this darkness. She hurried up through the tunnel, floating and kind of pushing herself forward using the rocky walls, grateful the odd air-water substance that filled the environment made it possible to move quickly with less physical exertion.

She was awed at the sight of deities before her. Their fight was an eternal one, she knew. As a scientist, she valued truth. It was one of the only things worth pursuing. Aiming to measure the world in the most objective ways as second nature to a researcher. Truth was powerful. [break][break]

And yet.[break][break]

What she pursued were dreams. The truth was confined to one reality, whereas dreams let her access a separate one. She believed that activating the potential of dreams to its fullest would enable her to enter the dream realm and a separate reality, one where her mother was still alive. And that had nothing to do with truth. It was an ideal, and it was one that kept her insatiable in her research.[break][break]

"Truth is valuable, but ideals are why we get up each day. It is what we truly seek."

Ameena nodded. "Specifically, Seraphim and I were at the Deep Sea, where we found a Megalopolan shipwreck." The trip was unsettling, but it had been informative beyond belief. She turned inquisitively at Aurelie's follow-up question, stunned at what the woman was suggesting. "No way!" She cried out in surprise, uncharacteristically emotive. "Seraphim said the exact same thing. I thought he was pulling my leg. They were seriously prone to cannibalism?" [break][break]

Okay. She was most certainly moving them up her reading list. Her own research could take a backseat for half a day, surely. [break][break]

She shook her head to rid herself of the thought for now. The roaring thing deeper in the chasm was of greater importance. "Well. I do have an energy reader, but it needs to be totally still to process. You stick it in the ground and it uses seismic--" Her Espathra gave a sharp warning cry above, something the psychic only did in truly dire circumstances. Ameena had a half second to express this to Aurelie before the earth began to shake violently.[break][break]

Edith dove down ungracefully, narrowly avoiding falling stalactites. She returned to her capsule without giving Ameena a moment to adjust, leaving her trainer to fend for herself in getting out. "We will have to return for better readings. No data this far from the core of the cave could possibly be worth our lives." Not that she hated the idea of self-sacrifice for knowledge, but it definitely would've hurt for the data to not even contribute to her body of work. [break][break]

They had enough to report. Monster somewhere inside, dangerous environment, ground/rock types recommended.

She considered his response, weighing their collective familiarity. "Okay. We should be able to find something new in this trip. I suspect we have each seen our share of oddities in this chasm already." She tested her gloves by flexing her fingers. She nodded at his instruction and took point, though she had barely meandered into the chasm before odd tracks led the way ahead of them. [break][break]

She looked up at the same sound Kazuya heard, taking in the sight of paradox-related liquid. "Hmm. I suppose that came from the same paradox pokemon that left these prints. Looks like Iron Leaves." She was not eager to encounter one of them. She had heard from several Rockets that paradox pokemon had very unpredictable personalities. It was difficult to assess their behavior until one was already in combat with them. [break][break]

She ordered her Espathra to fly ahead and keep an eye out for the paradox pokemon. "I am curious about where the paradox pokemon tend to congregate inside the chasm. It seems like an odd environment to nest in for anything other than a Joltik." Honestly, the odd crystals might even put off enough unsettling energy to keep them away, though she felt they would tolerate the output far more than a Zubat or Whismur, which would otherwise feel at home in a chasm like this.

Was he testing how attentive she had been in their last excursion? "There were no other topside entrances to that cavern beyond what we took and closed-off. Well, outside of where the sharpedo came from, but I have gotten nonstop motion readings from that direction to inform us that there are still hordes of pokemon there." She descended closer to the trench in the odd air-water atmosphere of the Deep Sea. [break][break]

"There was, however, a gaping hole not far from the wreckage. The temperature drop by it suggested it fed from depths. It is hard to guess geological formations from sight, but since the trench is giving the same temperature readings and follows parallel of the ship wreckage, it follows that we could find the hole within the trench and travel up into the cavern from yesterday."[break][break]

"We may very well find something dangerous within, but it is a gamble on the unknown - which may be void of life anyways - or try to brute force through a hundred feral sharpedo and Arceus-knows-what-else that awaits the other end of the cavern." The chances of the trench having a harder obstacle than a metric ton of pokemon was minimal. Plus, its exploration would teach them a lot. [break][break]

But shortly after sharing her rationale, her descent into the cold trench left her feeling dread. The darkness of it was not permeated by the flare she activated. She hovered by the right wall of the trench, doing her best to look and feel around for a potential hole, though it would likely generate a bit of warmth and wouldn't need such dedicated searching. Yet. She was eager to find it, feeling like the openness of the abyssal trench made her a target. She felt distinctly like prey.

Ameena was pleased at Aurelie's preparedness when she pulled out the burn heal. Even more, Ameena was intrigued by her casual familiarity. When Meteno had hit Hoenn, Ameena had taken a sabbatical in Alola to see if the TAPU pokemon had any strong connection to the dream realm. It had been rather exciting, and not just because of the new environment for fieldwork. Alola was beautiful. Though, it appeared she had underestimated how much she had missed during that long stay away.[break][break]

She considered her thoughts about more recent happenings. "Indeed, the odd rampant growth of these crystals must be something else, or at least something additional." She considered the Megalopolans. "I very recently came into contact with their old civilization in the ultra deep sea." She had more to offer, but she went rigid at the sound of a sharp cry. [break][break]

She looked to Aurelie instinctively, despite her Espathra's cries of eagerness. Clearly, Edith wanted a good fight. "I would much rather fight a Pyroar barehanded than encounter something that can make that sound." She looked at the deep abyss the cavern promised them ahead. What had previously been an exciting sight was now a looming presence. "Perhaps, it is not necessary to travel too deeply without better equipment." [break][break]

The turnaround between trips was brief. Too brief to really take advantage of her resources to research her partner. Still, knowing he was a head scientist clarified some things. His distance during their first trip had made her think he was just muscle, but she was far more agreeable to visiting the area with a proper scientist. His collection of the purple gunk had been for his own research rather than some other researcher he worked with, she was sure.[break][break]

"We are almost at the cavern from before. Since we cannot come from above, we will have to cut through this trench to reach a lower entrance." She didn't regret closing the tunnel they'd used because sharpedo were too motivated to let them escape, but it did make things inconvenient. The trench laid before them.[break][break]

The trench was a gigantic abyss unlike anything she had seen before. And she, of course, had not had the time to catch more pokemon that could illuminate the area thoroughly. She did, however, bring a few flares with her this time... and felt no confidence that they could protect her from the cold paranoia that would most certainly chase her while in the trench.

ONGOING EVENT
EXPLORATION




GRANITE CAVE[break]↓ ULTRA DEEP SEA



[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1055326462955225158/lusapogger.mp3[/player][break]
Lusamine's Encounter Theme - Pokemon Sun & Moon
[break]

CONTRARY TO ITS NAME, THE MAJORITY OF THE ULTRA DEEP SEA IS A VAST CAVE-LIKE WORLD. Shafts of light from an unknown source barely penetrate the dark, causing colorful diamond-like rocks to glisten against humid walls. The dim lighting makes the place seem like you're thousands of leagues under the sea... Eerily, an unceasing pulse can be heard like a heart beat that rumbles throughout the realm.[break][break]

Oddly enough, one is able to "swim" through this realm like Water-type Pokemon floating in air.[break][break]

One may stumble upon deep, cold pools of dark water and alien seaweed as they scout out the realm. Segments of this place open up into an astral sea, where islands of mysterious stone are suspended mid-air.

They eat people? Her expression turned pensive. She would have to add their history to her reading list, though she was unenthusiastic about pushing some of energy studies back to do so. She was trying to make a breakthrough about psychic energy impacting the physical world. [break][break]

She hoped his response about dying the RKS was just putting on a front. She never wanted to feel so casually about that sensation. Indeed, even the turning of a dark room into a thousand Unown looking at her had unsettled her to her core. She did not want to experience a simulated death whatsoever. [break][break]

"Ameena Abadi," she introduced. She hadn't realized they had given her his name of Seraphim when offering this trip and not vice versa. Though, she had been told he was a high ranking officer, so maybe the details of who came along wasn't as important. She brushed off the grunt comment. "If I am unfamiliar with you, then it seems you do not deal with information technology so much." She was amused; it was not near enough to ascertain his identity, but this detail could function well as a hint. [break][break]

"I operate in psychic and dream sciences. is the one who brought me into Rocket, and she has been plenty helpful. I intend to be a head scientist before long, but I suspect the high-ups will be more appreciative of my research when I find routes for it to be weaponized." She sighed softly. Dreams had higher potential than anything offensive, but she understood Rocket needed to show force to achieve their political motives. "If that kind of thing interests you, I am always looking for subjects." Not that he struck her as the 'eager to join a sleep study' kind of guy.

His mechanical doll was putting a good dent in the sharpedo horde, but it was unclear just how massive the collection of them would end up being since they came from the unknowable depths. She followed his escape as their pokemon held the sharpedo back. As they re-entered the tunnel that had released them into the cavern, Ameena whistled sharply, summoning her Espathra back from the horde and to her side. [break][break]

"Close off the mouth of the tunnel before they follow us," she instructed. Her Honedge slashed at the rocks as Edith the Espathra struck the top of it with her disarming voice, closing it. [break][break]

With the sharpedo unable to pursue through the path the Rockets had initially descended from, all the explorers had left was to return to their entrance point to the deep sea. "This was not as unsettling as the RKS simulation," She mused aloud. "Those are objectively less dangerous but far worse for the psyche." As they floated past the illuminated plants they'd initially traversed past, she pulled a leaf off for further examination. Despite being disconnected from the plant, it continued to glow. [break][break]

"I had not heard of megaopolans before being recommended last week to visit this area."
