"you were invited here, anderson." she said cooly, following orion's remark. she allowed orion to continue speak, seemingly the best mannered man in the room. the comments on balder would go ignored initially, but not unnoticed as olivia answered , "we were in a public festival, councilmen. allowed his temper to get the best of him and acted in a manner unseemly for a representative of the league; much less a gym leader." her gaze washed over all of the men present, all those who had spoken, "if he had wanted to handle this privately, he should have decided to act like an adult; not a brat with the powers of a god."

"which leads to your argument, councilman cole." olivia said, her full attention on the gaudy youth. was easily the youngest present, maybe one of the youngest employed by the league, and perhaps the youngest to hold such a prestigious title. a remarkable feat in its own right, but despite his carefree charm he held a cocky if not irritating aura about him. she clicked her remote, the screen finally shifting from fernando's face to a roster of sorts.

"this team will be entirely made up of chosen individuals or volunteers; those that have proven themselves loyal to the league and capable of dealing with such threats - i have no intention to force anyone to work for the league should they not wish to." she added, turning to face , "as i said, it is not that we do not admire the work of the rangers -" her eyes glanced to before counting, "- or the elite four, but their duties do not detail handling people or pokemon with god like abilities; nor do i expect them to, which is why a trained team of individuals who may be made up of trainers and rangers alike, would be best."

"for, on the topic of the elite four, we have seen exactly where their intentions lay." on cue, the screen displayed the faces of the three remaining elite four: . "in fact, i would say most do not care for their duties as the elite four." an exert from the league codex popped up, reading:

"the elite four are illustrious trainers picked by the league to represent the organization and serve as a benchmark to determine who is strong enough to be the region's champion."


"and yet, of the three, only one showed any reluctance before going for the ultra beast: brave, bold, and brash." she clicked a button and 's face came up in greyscale along with an obituary. "we are dealing with the fallout of one fallen elite four - could you imagine the scenario should we have lost another?" her tone was cold, bitterly so. "we need the elite four to serve the populace, not run head first into deadly situations; and if that is what they want to do, well, they should not be serving as the elite four."

all four faces returned to the screen as olivia said, "they should be apart of the proposed special ops team, so in that capacity; we, as the league - and they, as individuals - are prepared for the possibility of death on a mission." it then panned to the living, "now more than ever, the league and public, rely on the elite four to keep the region safe from mundane threats, such as rocket."

the screen brought up the league file on , "for despite his defeat," Olivia began, her eyes on , "it was his name that you spoke, commissioner goode." olivia swallowed, the soreness in her throat a reminder of seeing dahlia as that beast, "in the light house, before your... attack, my call was hijacked and you asked for helped. begged; and when i saw you in that mess of tentacles you uttered one word, one name."

"blackwell."


"at the time, it eluded me, but when i typed it in our database he came up. rocket is still active, and very much alive, it would appear." she looked to lars first and then the others, "i would dare say it was rocket who captured the ultra beast; for it was captured. some type of pokeball contained it, no normal one that we know of, but something did. which highlights our lack of understanding of these ultra beast and the necessity for a research and response team."

"enjoying the scenery, miss silph." she replied, rising from the slab. "i rarely have time to visit outside the white walls of sootopolis so it can be refreshing, if not relaxing, to see what the rest of hoenn has to offer." olivia quipped as she moved to take a position on the other side of the slab, across from stormy.

"i am unsure of your honorifics and ceremonies in your gym battles, so please, do enlighten me." olivia began, reaching for a pokeball and eying the younger woman.

"i look forward to our next meeting then." olivia remarked, sealing the deal with a shaking of hands. she would move to leave unless stopped; and what could be said of this new partnership? had olivia just made a deal with the devil... or was it the other way around?

a silence filled the air between them, heavy with the casualties of the night. people had lost their pokemon - olivia had nearly lost one of her own, and people had lost their lives. her hand itched to move towards her throat, the healing abilities provided by prevented her throat from outright shutting from the swelling and soreness; but the trauma was still there. "yes." olivia replied following the pause, "yes it was - is - quite a bit to process."

she had once viewed dahlia as a respected woman, ruling over the patriarchal ideals of hoenn with a feminine fist; but now? olivia knew she had been under some form of... control, but still. that woman, her friend (?) if not ally, had tried to choke the life out of her.

"a swampert?" his concern brought olivia back to their current situation, which was fallout from the lingering shit show hours earlier. "i am no expert on the medical sciences or pokemon anatomy, but..." she popped two pokeballs, and in a flash of light, two different water type starters appeared. "actaea and ceto." a brionne and mudkip that looked up at orion with what could be puppy dog eyes. "the former is a capable healer in her own rights, and my mudkip, well, perhaps your swampert could use some comfort as well." olivia offered to her peer with a sad smile.

kim embodies the traits of men that olivia despises; perhaps even more so than fernando: arrogance, ignorance, and impatience. his brash words are tempered by the newest council member along with a question reiterated by dahlia: the topic of . silph remained quiet, for the most part anyhow.

olivia pressed a button, the slide transitioning into the league's file of the alolan gym leader on the holographic display. she had expected such questions, and was ready. "to put it simply, for the sake of some of our council members," she began, sparing a chilly glance to , continuing, "i reprimanded balder for his violent outburst and informed him that the council would be meeting with him in regards to his abilities." she pressed a second button, and a hologram of the legendary solgaleo popped up.

"which, following his outburst and rejection of the league, leads me to question: what is to be done about those blessed by the gods?" she asked, her fingers quickly pressing a series of buttons that brought up the other avatars of hoenn along with their legendary pokemon: and tapu fini and and celebi. "these are just those that we know, i would like to note. so i ask, what is to be done when they go awol?" she followed it up with footage from the mosdeep incident, "when one these 'avatars' is capable of ripping open portals that allow these... 'ultra beast' to wreck havoc?"

she clicked the back button, bringing up the avatars' faces and pokemon once more. "for that is one of unknown and dangerous abilities of an 'avatar'." olivia clicked back again, "of . that is what those of you who were not present missed. the herald of the sun, solgaleo, opened forth a portal that the jelly fish 'ultra beast' was trying to retreat to. that one of its kin sprung forth and stole from us. which is apparently capable of using to teleport himself and others to this other dimension, or travel freely across hoenn."

"and so i present a solution." she walked around the table, dropping manilla folders labeled A.Q.U.A. on the front and files within. as she did so, the holoscreen changed to the same logo. "the A.Q.U.A. initiative; or Avatar Quality and Ultrabeast Action initiative."

she returned to stand by her seat, the screen switching to names and faces: of note was the former councilwomen @noblesse and alongside support from companies such as Lupin Co, represented by MIss Shou [ ]. "with support from notable citizens of hoenn, i will relay the major points of this initiative as i have discussed with those before."

"first, this is meant to be a response and research field team that would investigate and handle these unnatural phenomena that have been occurring across hoenn." the presentation shifted to a reel of footage from the multiple mutant pokemon attacks, of which olivia, , and had all been witness to. there was also footage from the most recent ultra beast attack. "this is by no means meant to replace the hoenn rangers, whom we are undoubtedly proud and grateful to have," olivia added, looking to the head ranger, "but rather equip and better prepare a specialized team of trainers and/or rangers."

"second, this unit will actively hunt and capture or kill these 'ultra beast' for the league. they will be our go to team of specialized and trained individuals for such events; given all the tools, training, and funds necessary for them to get their job done." olivia stated plainly.

"third, with the recent situation involving , this team will identify, train, and/or survey avatars for the league. these people possess incredibly dangerous powers that are on par with the destructive capabilities of these 'ultra beast'." the display flashed to pictures of ancient tomes and scripts, with pictures of celebi, tapu fini, and solgaleo. "these pokemon, considered gods by some, are capable of twisting the fabric of space and time, manipulating the elements beyond that of the average pokemon, and much more." the display flashed forward to 's file while olivia said, "and i propose that these 'avatars' be trained by our very own 'avatar', councilman fernando; while said team will be spear headed by the former councilwoman ."

"now, my esteemed peers, i am open to questions, comments, and concerns." olivia said, the face of a much more put together staring down at them all from the holographic display, a blaring reflection compared to how fernando appeared today. meara had jumped up onto olivia's seat, staring down dahlia from across the table.

the first two of her peers arrived, silph and lykos. she offered both a curt nod just as kim cole bursted into the room. this was the first time olivia had met the man and she was less than impressed. olivia was more interested by who followed after the extravagant man. the commissioner and her furry companion. goode kept up her cordial appearances amongst the council; olivia wasn't sure if this was the first time dahlia had been seen outside of her recovery.

finally, lars arrived. olivia dismissed the head ranger's apology with a wave of her hand, "don't worry, anderson, we are just getting started." while she was still getting used to modern advancements in technology, such fancies not allowed for the abbiati of snowpoint, one of her assistants had put together an electronic slide show. it was the only thing truly put together about the woman, for underneath the chic jacket of faux white fur or the tight high sitting ponytail of silver hair - the distinct trait of the abbiati clan reaching her lower back - was a woman terrified by those that surrounded her.

had nearly killed her, and hidden beneath a string of pearls was a multicolored bruise that circled her neck. it was the first time olivia had truly been scared for her mortality; but it wasn't the last, or even the last time she felt such that same day. and both displayed their tremendous powers granted by the gods, with the former telling off olivia and using his legendary pokemon to make a point; if not a threat.

the others less so. olivia rose, a shallow sigh preceding what she said, "thank you all for coming councilmen, head ranger... commissioner." olivia greeted each in turn with a nod, her ocean eyes settling on dahlia for a few moments before she clicked a button on a small remote inter hand. from the center of the table, a holographic power point sprung into existence, displaying multiple news articles of the recent events of slataeport.

olivia allowed a pause and silence to fill the air. they had all been there, in some way, some form of consciousness. she clicked another button, this time the articles more inquisitive, questioning; what was that monster? was it different from the others? what happened between the councilwoman and the sootopolis gym leader? where were the elite four?

"there are questions to be answered, and we should come forth with a united answer." olivia stated, bringing her hands together behind her back.

it was time for the first council meeting, or at least the first olivia would be attending. it had been the absence of a fourth council member that had stayed olivia's hand but given recent incidents and the return of dahlia; it was high time the officials of hoenn meet. it had been less than a week since the slateport incident and many were still recovering, but the media was already abuzz with rumors. not a surprise, there had been doubt even as olivia issued the gag that things would remain quiet. yet, it had given her enough time to arrange this meeting.

obligatory emails had been sent to her fellows on the council whilst a personal phone call had been made to dahlia. there hadn't been an answer, but olivia could only pray she would come. finally, there was - she had decided to invite him for his position as head ranger and the many contributions he had made to keeping hoenn safe, some of which olivia had been by his side.

and so olivia waited, sitting at the head of the table in a fabulously cushioned office chair in the official headquarters of the league council. she hadn't been to ever grande before now, all league business usually coming to her rather than the other way around. it might have even been a nice visit, if not for the current political climate. instead, she was about to face off against her political adversary (adversaries?) and she had no one to rely on. her champion, was gone.

"the first have arrived." echoed perry's voice in her earpiece, reeling olivia back to reality. "send them up." she answered curtly, and awaited her peer, hands folded in her lap and stacks of folders and paperwork in front of her. the table itself had a pitcher of water and some simple snacks, muffins and fruit, available for the council's leisure. at her feet, curled up in a blue ball and purring loudly, was meara the vapreon.

there was still the fallout to deal with from the incident - and olivia was painfully aware of such. she was currently acting as an immediate supervisor to crown members, and helping direct injured pokemon and people alike. her own pokemon still needed treatment, or some of them did at least; the last she had seen of her jellicent was its creepy tentacles reaching out amongst the corpses along the streets - collecting souls.

she shuddered at the thought, and looked out over the crowd. these poor fools, out attending festivities only to face death and doom. what's worse is that they don't even know the extent of the loss. yes individuals had suffered, yes slateport had been attacked again, but it is the losses of the league that concerns olivia most. the loss of was but a paper cut compared to the sting of 's betrayal. had she been too harsh?

the self doubt left as quickly as it had manifested as she spotted a familiar face, and a potential ally. "councilman lykos, are you alright? i did not think to find you in the city still.." olivia said as she approached, taking note of his shaking hands.

"well spoken." olivia said at last, adding, "and you are correct, i have been looking into the pollution issue and how it is affect water pokemon regionally. i accept these terms to expand the abbiati market into galar in collaboration with lupin co." it was nearly over, these negotiations, yet there was more to say.

"are we at an agreement then? may i rely on you and your company for support, miss shou?"

olivia grimaced as she watched the giant squid slam the ancient flower to the ground and devastated her comrade's pokemon. what's worse, the cocky flirt abandoned them; scampering away during the chaos of battle. now it was just the three of them, and as olivia watched her cradily's petals wilt, she knew time of the essence. "morningstar, lars, break down that barrier." she ordered and called out to her own pokemon, "drain!"

from the wilting petals of the fossil pokemon, tendrils of green energy bursted forth and latched onto the mutant tentacruel. once contact was made, they would begin to giga drain the life force of the water type.

+ cradily used GIGA DRAIN!
