Great, she'd traded one evil for another.

[break][break]

Erin has heard the name, of course. She's read it multiple times. Now that she sees the face paired with it, she's not sure what to make of it. How many bad turns had she taken in order to be in this situation? Not only had she framed a councilman for theft, she'd also had the misfortune of running into him only days later.

[break][break]

Her expression betrays each of her thoughts, showing a façade of calm instead. "Alright. I'll put in a word for you."

[break][break]

Is it only to get rid of him, or is it also some twisted way of making up for what she'd done?

[break][break]

Diverting her gaze has two purposes: to check how much time she had to wait until this agony could end, and to effectively avoid his. "Call me Erin."

[break][break]

Her name is safe. So is her surname. She'd gone through painstaking measures to make sure of it. Yet she still can't will herself to give it away. The situation doesn't call for it, and she's certain that deep inside he'd only offered his own full name to brag.

Wild thread: Shoal Cave

[break][break]


With the piloswine now in her possession, and none of the pokémon to show up following their fight piquing her interest, Erin focuses her attention elsewhere.

[break][break]

Unfortunately for her temporary company, that 'elsewhere' ends up being her and her pokémon. There wasn't much else to look at, besides the ice.

[break][break]

"How long since you caught him?"

[break][break]

Erin had been happy to turn a blind eye before, but the fact she's much more alert and enthusiastic about any of the golduck's actions than literally anything else going on couldn't be passed up so easily. She wonders if the girl's asocial.

[break][break]

Meanwhile, Erin's chandelure moves ahead. Not all wild pokémon are aggressive, but one could never be too sure.

[break][break]

The chandelure steps between the marshtomp and glalie, pokes at the latter with one of its lit up torches, and quickly flees. It turns out to be a super-effective

freeze-dry

that the glalie directs at the spot where only the marshtomp stands now.

[break][break]

A follow-up

shadow ball

pushes the carcass of the pokémon farther back, and that's the end of it.

Mission: Salvage (Slateport)

[break][break]


She's pleased with herself for a variety of reasons. Most notably, she'd secured a way of contacting this mysterious man in the future. The promise from earlier is brought up, if subtly. "Looking forward to it." She can only make mental guesses at the timeline he's defined for his 'soon enough'.

[break][break]

"I don't know if favorite would be the right word," she starts, her head tilting, deep in thought. The question's so casual, so simple, yet Erin had never really thought about it before: a testament to the type of concerns most often plaguing her mind. "For me, it's symbolic more than anything."

[break][break]

It's the last of his questions that makes her turn.

[break][break]

Erin had left clues all over their sunbathing session earlier, verbal and otherwise. The question doesn't exactly surprise her. It does rupture the air of innocence to their short detour, though.

[break][break]

"You ask a lot of questions for someone so tight-lipped about himself," she teases. This moment would have come sooner or later, regardless of what she did. She'd have liked for it to be much later. "Officially? Last week. You?"

Mission: Salvage (Slateport)

[break][break]


"Yeah? Do you have a pokémon capable of it?" She's glad he knows even the slightest bit about echolocation, because if he wanted the program to work he'd need someone to start those sound waves first.

[break][break]

When she finally gets a hold of his phone, Erin gives as little away in her expression as Silas does. While the flash drive installs the program, she busies herself with another task. As a child of today's booming technological era, she has no trouble finding the man's contacts list and adding herself to it.

[break][break]

It takes so little time the only way he'd notice what she's up to would be if he actually looked down at the screen. Not impossible, not by far, but the angle at which she holds the device would require Silas to adjust if he really wanted to watch her.

[break][break]

She's secretly glad that she'd left her phone muted. When she sends herself a text from Silas's phone, it makes no sound.

[break][break]

Quick fingers close everything and then tilt the screen in the man's direction, pointing to the newly installed application. She turns to her Porygon2 again. "Give us a hand, Siri."

[break][break]

The virtual pokémon sends out another

signal beam

to exemplify the exact steps that would normally need to be taken. The Porygon2's anatomy would allow it to directly convert the data received into a language usable by Erin's program. Without such a pokémon, however, one more tool would be needed.

[break][break]

The device is small, smaller than the flash drive and shaped like a phone plug. It's also shaped like a gengar keychain. She attaches it to the the phone. "You can keep this too. It's a portable sonar receiver."

Mission: audino analysis

[break][break]


Erin doesn't request to be paired with the same person with whom she executed the jewelry store heist for some dumb sense of sentimentality or feeling of righteousness. Erin is far more pragmatic: he followed instructions and was efficient enough to keep up with her.

[break][break]

Funny how she never noticed this laboratory building in the upper part of Slateport, still standing and fully functional, on her first visit to the city. The building's highest floors are almost entirely intact, but they're ushered inside and down many sets of stairs to a particular part of the lab where an allegedly confidential experiment is already underway.

[break][break]

She doesn't turn; the sound of footsteps beside her are all the confirmation she needs that he's there. "Priam, right?"

[break][break]

They never shared their names during their first mission together, but it had come up briefly in the meeting where she specifically asked for him. Whether the same higher-ups would have shared her own name with him, she wouldn't know. Honestly, it wouldn't bother her either at this point.

[break][break]

"Let's begin."

[break][break]

She only needs a glance to figure out what they're doing. The audino in the center of the room takes on the job of lab pikachu for the day. As for why exactly they're doing it, she can only guess. Actually, she'd rather ask. "What are you trying to accomplish?"

Quite frankly, she never intended to keep the box to herself; but watching him so brusquely claim it, as if it belonged to him all along, makes Erin wonder what he'd do if she tried to take it back. The thought is fleeting, though perhaps it would come back later.

[break][break]

"Who would have thought?" she agrees, the corners of her lips turned upwards. She's playing along not to please, but because it amuses her.

[break][break]

Erin doesn't have her handkerchief on her. It makes her stare at her gengar for a good while, trying to figure out which option would disgust her the least. "Are you familiar with echolocation?" she asks, crouching down next to her pokémon.

[break][break]

"Siri picks up multiple sonar waves with it—nothing out of the ordinary there. What the program does is collect those

signals

as data sets, run a supervised learning algorithm, and render the results in a visually appealing presentation."


[break][break]

Albeit far from perfect, this timing suits her. She holds the flash drive that contains the entirety of her code in front of him, between her fingers. "Wanna give it a try on your phone?"

It's a few more minutes before they come across the alolan vulpix. Finally. "Don't want this one hurt," Erin warns her pokémon, but otherwise leaves him to deal with the encounter however he chooses.

[break][break]

A chilly breeze quickly approaches, so odd inside a cave of all places that it's evidently a move from the vulpix. The

icy wind

is met with a set of melting flames— a

flame burst

.

[break][break]

For a fire type pokémon, it's hard to beat someone else unharmed. Whiskey would have to adapt. Rather than burn the vulpix, he aims a

confuse ray

at it.

[break][break]

The vulpix fires off an

ice beam

but it misses. It's too confused to aim true. Erin's chandelure has a

shadow ball

to momentarily blind it, and Erin tosses a pokéball.

She audibly sighs.

[break][break]

This polar bear could have been so cute, if not for the icicle beard. "Do you think it'd look better without it?" she casually asks the chandelure, not quite expecting him to go ahead and attempt it.

[break][break]

Six tiny

will-o-wisps

float one after the other, looking not to strike but to be absorbed into the beartic's beard. Of course, that would also make it melt.

[break][break]

Who would have thought it wouldn't like that?

[break][break]

Erin stands her ground. The beartic's roar (or snore) is far from intimidating when she's got a chandelure willing to bring hell to earth for her. Literally, it could

inferno

them right now. But, rather than risk melting their surroundings, she asks for something a little less extreme.

[break][break]

"A

flame burst

will do."


[break][break]

Said and done. The

flame burst

strikes the beartic on its sides, leaving it to crawl away towards cold water that is slowly beginning to rise.

[break][break]

They're running out of time.

Erin isn't totally sure what she'd expected to receive from him. She supposes this lack of a reaction may have been included somewhere within her expectations, because she honestly can't say she's bothered by it. She smiles.

[break][break]

"I wrote the program aboard the S.S. Tidal. No wi-fi makes for a really boring trip, you know?"

[break][break]

His is a fair reaction. Wise, if you ask her. They barely know each other and she's given him no reason to trust her or her abilities, until now.

[break][break]

Silas points towards the source of one of her Porygon2's most peculiar readings, and Erin can't tell if he expects her to be the notary to her own work. A moment passes.

[break][break]

Her gengar takes this as cue to step in. Until now, he'd been hanging out farther back, a couple meters behind his trainer and the company she's keeping. He hands the parasol to Erin, who proceeds to rest it against her shoulder. Then, he disappears inside the rubble.

[break][break]

She's not happy about it, but there's little she can do at this point. All that's left for her to do is make sure he got a long shower afterwards.

[break][break]

When the gengar reemerges with the box-shaped trinket, Erin decides that'd be two showers and a bath.

[break][break]

"What are you bringing us, Mars?" she asks, holding her free arm up to his approaching figure. However, rather than hold it in her hand, she dusts off a bit of dirt on the gengar's cheek. Turning to Silas, she adds, "What do you think?"

It flops with no grace or care, yet the sealeo somehow manages to look cute. Oh, the ironies of life.

[break][break]

Despite its senseless cuteness, Erin would still find it a waste to catch it. Her pokéball had a name and nickname reserved, and none of them included the blue fat seal's.

[break][break]

She turns.

[break][break]

"Let's keep looking."

[break][break]

The chandelure crosses his eyes to make the sealeo laugh and turns as well. He likes imitating his trainer's actions even if its anatomy makes it hard sometimes. Luckily, this is not one of those times.

Mission: Protect the Peach

[break][break]


Erin is fully aware that her gengar's fire could power up the fire pokémon specifically. She's willing to take the risk, because the extra difficulty level while dealing with the chandelure does not outweigh the benefits of stalling all the other waves of ghosts.

[break][break]

"How noble of you to offer them help." she points out. Realistically, though, he was probably getting paid for it.

[break][break]

The man's decision to call his marshtomp out is appreciated, albeit silently. Erin watches it extinguish a good portion of the flickering purple flames. Just in time for the next wave of ghosts, too.

[break][break]

Gastlies and haunters pass through the flames without difficulty, if with some inhibitions. They'll feel the burn, even if their ability to levitate would allow them to find a path in just by levitating higher.

[break][break]

Her gengar shoots at them indiscriminately. A

shadow ball

for one, a

dark pulse

for another. Sometimes, if feeling playful, he'd raise one arm and wave his fingers. From the movement, rows of psychedelic waves fire off them in a

confuse ray

.

[break][break]

"I'm just visiting shrines for the New Year. They say it brings good luck."

[break][break]

Erin is far from a superstitious woman, actually. though she does enjoy visiting cultural places on cultural dates like this. Her trip is surprisingly innocent this time.

"Is that so?" comes Erin's response, and just like that the topic is dropped. She does like swimming, in fact—but swimming in a pool, finite and temperate and predictable. At sea, she prefers the safe isolation of a boat, a yacht, a ship. That's unimportant now.

[break][break]

She willingly ignores the displeasure palpable in his voice. "I want to show you something. Didn't you hear?"

[break][break]

He wouldn't need to hear what happens next, at least. The Porygon2 beeps once as it begins rendering a 3D image that mirrors their surroundings on Erin's phone. She taps on the screen once more and it blinks into a color-coded map that discriminates the density of every material based on the pokémon's signal waves.

[break][break]

The program is still in its beta stages, but it's able to differentiate the rubble, buildings broken apart and poles tumbled down, from more interesting findings.

[break][break]

Old phones that could be tampered with for the organization's purposes; pokéballs, empty or otherwise; TM cases and the like. Anything with light emissions of radiation would be picked up and displayed in a different color—red ones being the most concentrated ones.

[break][break]

"Unless you're in a hurry?"

It's colder than she expected down here. They may have a window spanning a few hours to explore the freezing cave before the tide rose again, but she's not so sure her clothes would keep them warm that long. If she and her chandelure found no alolan ninetales today, they'd have to return better prepared.

"Let me show you something."

[break][break]

Erin wasn't going to let him go so easily.

[break][break]

She's curious about Silas's cryptic words, obviously, but she's also very certain he wouldn't be giving her more info than he already had shared. Thus, she's willing to compromise. Erin will be the one teaching him something this time, in exchange for a little more time spent together.

[break][break]

"Do you like swimming?" she asks idly as her fingers produce a small flash drive. She introduces it inside her phone, and has her Porygon2 scan it.

[break][break]

It's a random question asked for a random reason that almost feels out of place, with them no longer being at the beach but inside the city ruins. Ironic to be asking about swimming in a sea of asphalt and rubble that does not look swimmable at all, when she's still dressed in little more than her swimsuit.

Wild thread: Shoal Cave

[break][break]


So slow. Had she been standing on the ground, her feet would be impatiently tapping on it. Lucky for both her aggron and her heels, the cold seeping through from the depths of the cave take preponderance over her impatience.

[break][break]

Her chandelure is called out to both light up their way and keep them guarded from hypothermia.

[break][break]

"Well? Is your golduck hopping on too or not?"

[break][break]

Avalon moves. Erin initially thinks he's moving forward, ready to explore the cave. She's proven wrong when she spots an ugly jynx and a less ugly piloswine. "Whis," she says, calling her chandelure to action.

[break][break]

Will-o-wisp

is another name for the flames adorning the chandelure's arms. They hover on his fingers, rise ever so slightly, and circle around the half-ghost, half-fire pokémon before being thrown in the ice duo's direction.

[break][break]

The attack would be enough to warm it up to the point it's feel itchy all over, if not to directly burn its fur away. The latter would be rather unfortunate, after all, for a pokémon the young woman had set her eyes on.

[break][break]

Neither of them is happy about being attacked, as one may understand. A double blizzard is coming their way. Avalon shifts into a

protective

stance, but Erin wouldn't be letting the ice pokémon get away with their attack. "Push it back.

Inferno

,"
she orders the chandelure.

[break][break]

The fire is so strong it starts to pour over to their side, but so is the collective blizzard. The moves end up cancelling each other, and only a thin layer of melting snow reaches Avalon's feet. He can't do much about it without putting the girls in danger's way, so he only

roars

at the threat.

[break][break]

Erin places a hand on the aggron's head, steadying him. "Let Whis deal with it."

[break][break]

New flames spring up to life on the chandelure's thin arms, bigger and warmer than before. They're not their usual purple this time. A warm, reddish orange bursts out and fires off, aimed at the piloswine. It's a beautiful

flame burst

.

[break][break]

She doesn't see the jynx anywhere and assumes it's either ran away or bothering the girl's golduck. Either way, Erin takes out an empty pokéball to toss at the burned pokémon. So much for ensuring its safety.
