LEAGUE BARRACKS I

CONCLUSION?

KEEN OBSERVATION starts to unravel what has happened here. while others tend to injured pokemon, one (Felix Gallagher) even taking up the mantle of ferrying it back to be nursed, a foregone conclusion has long passed. something, or someone, is behind all of this. whoever it is proves both frighteningly powerful and lacks the empathy to discern between the weak and the strong.

“this is dispatch!”

the staticky sound of one of the ranger dispatcher’s bleed through someone’s communication device. it stutters now that they’re out in the wild, away from a decent signal.

“we have a situation—rangers back to base. we need—immediately!”

it cannot be said enough that the rangers are an essential service. their work and diligence keeps society safe from the inadvertent challenges that come from a world that embraces wonderful creatures with vast powers. however, such urgency is rarely relayed over their commands. the last known instances was during the POISON PATROLS during the THREE DAY WAR.

before the undercover rockets depart from this scene, they make note of several things:

the same signs of destruction, uprooted ground and broken trees, leads toward MOUNT PYRE. whatever the source, it looks like somethin BULLDOZED its way out of the forest. the same claw marks from before can be seen. a pair of three pronged foot prints leave deep imprints.

a smaller path diverges from the epicenter. it leads to ROUTE 120. despite being small enough to travel through, you notice that branches and undergrowth alike littered on the floor. whoever transversed down this path literally cut through anything in their way. each cut shows the same pattern, clean, perfect, and articulate. small puddles of purple sludge sizzles further down.

and, to only the most observant person, a trail of small footprints lead back to LILYCOVE. they consist of a pair of single dots with a more oval shape point, as if from a pair of high heels. after a good measure, they simply disappear.
