POSTED ON Aug 5, 2024 23:40:04 GMT

Keiko got back on her board. She failed so far, but she'd been aiming for the moon. Easier moves would work out better. She wiped some seawater off of her face and refocused. Pelipper cawed above to show some support, but she tuned him out. It was just her and the water. She picked up speed on the waves and waited for her moment. If she timed it just right...

"Watch it!" Pelipper's talons were sharp on her hands. She wanted the bird to carry her further into the sea. Everyone was diving far too close to the shore. There was still reef walls out here, and she would have less competition. "Okay, drop me now!" Pelipper released her. She flipped herself over to dive hands first in the ocean.

Pelipper's path was erratic as he zigzagged through the crowd. Keiko followed the disruption in the crowd like a parted sea, but before she could cut off his path, the bird barreled into a slowking. "Easy, easy," she placated as she came in close, but the wild slowking had decided forgiveness was for chumps. It headbutt Pelipper, who jerked backwards a few feet, his stolen snack yoinked out of his mouth and into the air by gravity.

Keiko tossed a pokeball at the slowking's back just to get it out of the picture for a moment. She hurried to Pelipper's side to check on him, just in time to see a quick-moving Chikorita. Pelipper saw him too and started thrashing beneath her hands, scrambling to get back to the sky. "Wh- stop freaking out!"

[attr="class","rosepost"]Keiko has no idea what intel will look like. She also has no idea how long she has before the building finishes descending into the sea or until a swarm of wild pokemon assault the building out of distress. There's a lot of variables and little information.[break][break]
"I think I'm making my way into the center," she relays into her radio as she takes a few more turns through the labyrinthine building. All the hallways look identical, but most of them are helpfully free of random pokemon.[break][break]
She enters a room with a dozen screens. The power's off, so she isn't sure what was originally displayed on them, but this looks like some sort of nerve center or HQ or something from those action moves she never cared for. "I believe I'm in the heart of the building. Not sure... still... what to look for." She communicated between shuffles of papers and thumbing through folders. The dossiers seemed to be focused on pokemon behaviorism and ocean movements or something. She saw sonar data but didn't know how to parse it.[break][break]saskia volosenkova [break]

"We can leave it. I think it was upset about the crumbling building and the disruption to all the wildlife. I suspect it will be much calmer when it wakes." She hoped so, at least. She was no Ranger, so pokemon behaviorism wasn't a strongsuit of hers.[break][break]

Instead, she only offered, "well, thanks. I'm Keiko Mori." She extended a hand, considering his offer for an autograph. The unemployed and economically challenged were frequent committers of mail fraud, so more information about him wouldn't be so bad. "I'll take that autograph. And if you're looking for work, we're always hiring more mail couriers." On her shirt was a Pelipper pin with a satchel across it, denoting her as a courier herself.[break][break]Althus Rex [break]

Pelipper continued to finish up soaking the forest. Meanwhile, Togekiss had floated forward to bump the Togepi warmly. Keiko wanted to get out of here before people saw the scorched, wet area and assumed she was incompetent in an emergency. "Do you normally see a natural disaster and run straight into it, like, for fun?" It was a Ranger's responsibility to do that.

"Thank you, Almighty Sinnoh," she breathed out. Pelipper flew above, its presence summoning a gentle rain. "Make it rain!" The bird used hydro pump over all of the visible fires. Keiko turned to guy and his Togepi, curious. "Are you a Ranger?"

"Metronome!" She cried out. Togekiss used metronome, generating a rock tomb over the Blaziken. Which was fan and dandy, except for the conflagration. "We need to get the fire out."

[attr="class","rosepost"]Keiko had been at the shoreline dispensing medical equipment when she noticed the fire breaking out in the tree line. She dashed in without second thought and didn't realize she was without Pelipper until she was facing down a rogue Blaziken setting the forest ablaze.[break][break]
"Uh, nice Blaziken," she cooed with placating hands. Blaziken responded with a jet of fire that she had to dive out the way of, landing on hot dirt. She pulled her radio immediately: "Please send support to the Northwest forest area. A loose Blaziken is setting it on fire! There's no -" but the radio shut off in her hands, perhaps overheating from the growing inferno around her.[break][break]

Keiko came up for air holding a pokeball. It wasn't the kind of treasure she had been seeking, but it was good to de-pollute the waters. Hoenn deserved pretty beaches just like her home in Sinnoh. She shrunk the capsule and pocketed it. Then, she fixed her goggles on her face and dived underneath again. This time, she wanted a Clamperl.

"I'm fine," she urged Pelipper. The pokemon was unhappy to see how she had failed the trick the first time. She hadn't fallen into the water, but it had been a near thing. Still, he was being a worry wart. "I know what I did wrong. I can get it this time." Pelipper's expression demonstrated anything but faith in her. She attempted anyways.

It was her fault, ultimately, for letting Pelipper loose on the beach while so many people were indulging in the festivities. He had flown off immediately, probably to eat some unsuspecting person's funnel cake or dango. His sweet tooth knew no bounds. She cupped her mouth and called out, "Peli! Where are you!" But her voice was mostly lost in the ruckus of the crowd. Keiko sighed softly, wondering how long he would indulge in the treats before returning to her.

There was a shack down the hill. Surely, that was the address she was looking for. She stepped down the steep hill carefully, though her footfalls were more like running by the time she reached the bottom. She straightened herself out to look presentable before approaching the mailbox which she could see had the desired numbers painted on the side. She slotted the envelope inside and flipped the signalling plastic to let them know they'd received mail.

She turned to see something giant.

"Heya," she greeted informally at the large rock pokemon. It leaned down and huffed at her, which she took as an opportunity to rub under its chin. The Rhyperior kicked its foot against the ground a couple of times, pleased as punch. "Yeah, big guy? More where that came from."
