"Mmmm." He nodded as Boruta spoke.

Rustboro was an important city in Hoenn's infrastructure and economy. Not to mention the personal ties Sénon himself had to the city.

The home of Devon Corp and his mothers workplace.

"Have you made any connections to the region outside of Rustboro?" The firm hands working him over and breaking down the tension in his body as he pondered aloud. "City of your favorite restaurant? City of your favorite fishing hole?" Maybe it was all in Rustboro for him.

If nothing else it would be easier to keep an eye on that kid if he could work close to home.

It made him feel guilty that she carried such a burden. It had once been his intention that she live happy and secure under his guard.

Now that she had enemies and agendas, and seemingly sought to make good on both.

"What it is you think you owe them; is that a debt you can really settle?" If she was trying to bring a man to justice her new placement as an officer was the best place for her.

But if she was looking for a more primal sense of satisfaction, it meant she was suffering from the same sickness he was.

"Who do you actually owe?" Kanto was lost.

At best they could reclaim it but the current status-quo was rocket occupation. He understood the tight-rope she was walking on; raising a kid while doing dangerous work to ensure the kid had a home and future for their own children one day.

In a few months Sénon would be doing the same thing.

Difference was his children would be Hoenn natives their tribal heritage still alive and well in Fortree and in need of defending.

Sagira and Sénon's home was already taken, leaving her room to put down roots anywhere. Unless she had family here he didn't know about.

With as little as he knew, he was the family she had. Also @ajay and maybe MATIAS SILPH whatever their story was now.

The only other practical guess he could make was...

"Is her father here in Hoenn?" That was enough justification to stay; keeping the family together.

Harder They Fall (M)

POSTED ON Mar 11, 2022 18:14:32 GMT

It remembered him.

Through its wide and curious gaze, Limbo came to remember Adrian, then it wouldn't leave him be.

It was willed to this trainer. Even then.

The other was only able to capture it because it was so focused on the one before it now.

Could it sense the greater gatherings of its kin in the presence of Adrian Malcolm or was it drawn to something more inhuman about the man?

Sénon wasn't able to ponder in his state but Tsukuyomi had the processing power, if not the necessary memory space. Abra slept for a reason and evolution to its zenith didn't negate that necessity.

The alakazam had been raised in humility absolute. Reading minds unordered and unwarranted was prohibited as borderline taboo.

Applied to this circumstance it meant Tsukuyomi remained unaware of Adrian's identity as the masked man from Sootopolis who put the League-aligned vigilante Crimsen in his place.

Equally, he remained unaware of what happened to Sénon as the redhead blackout shortly after Tsukuyomi's release from his pokéball. Manners and rearing aside, he couldn't have read Sénon's mind if he wanted to.

Adrian might have noticed the Alakazam oft glancing at the bracelet on Sénon's wrist made of megastones.

Mega-evolution might give him the psychic muscle to read a mind that was 'offline' but that was no guarantee of getting that mind to wake up. If Adrian had a more discreet means to get answers Tsukuyomi, yielded to the emotion of hope.

Besides, Limbo seemed keen to go.

"H e w o u l d h a v e w a n t e d y o u t o h a v e i t ."

He wouldn't have. Sénon had his own obsessions with the mysterious device to quell and Adrian getting all the answers and coming back to share with the rest of them wasn't the same thing as Sénon getting his own answers.

Or so he would have argued if he wasn't 3 hours from being updated to 'Comatose' status.

He dreamed of spring.

Far away from Adrian's mounting mystery.

The pokémon in the room shuffled about to make room for the human approaching their master, leader, father.

Most of them knew Adrian, the favorites at least. Tsukuyomi's spoons were put at his sides. Psychic-ability should have told him a non-hostile was entering but he was growing tired and hadn't slept in two days.

Unheard of for a once-Abra, but he had a job to do.

They all did.

Tsukuyomi guarded Sénon.
Jūken guarded Tsukuyomi.
Zeraora guarded Jūken.

The charmander, Jakka Jr. sired by the Cinnabarian's signature charmeleon from childhood sat sadly, mindful of his tail indoors.

Babysaur, whom remembered Adrian from the PKMN-SMASH contest laid sputtered out on his belly. Deciding to sleep until Sénon stopped sleeping now that the sun was down again.

Dosé sat in the sink, shameless, croaking just often enough to break the tension.

The unown moved individually. Quasar slept next to Sénon, its one eye closed. Limbo, however bobbed about the room studying all living things again and again with a selfish lack of respect for personal space.

Some of the other pokémon were beginning to grow annoyed.

Primary of which was Chimchar who climbed up Adrian's sitting position, jumping up and down on the man's thigh before shoving at his chest, a watering in his eyes and a pain in the sound of his chattering.

He wanted Adrian to do something, the other pokémon seemed to understand better. In this, even as a human Adrian was as helpless as they were.

The trainers mental inquiry would be fielded simply by the Alakazam; "H e d o e s n o t s t i r ."

"Then the job is yours." His word on it was enough to make it law.

As to whether or not Boruta would weather the storm?

Time would tell. Personally, Sénon was rooting was for him. There was an edge to him despite his earnestness that made him feel as though he was cut from the same cloth as the Head Ranger himself.

There wasn't much ceremony to it, his superiors could sign off on his ascension but the region wouldn't acknowledge him, history wouldn't acknowledge him unless he put in the work.

"In the context of Hoenn as a region, tell me a little about your life." Elevating him to Captain was a simple decision.

Which city in the region to put him over would be little more nuanced of a decision.

"Gotcha." His words startled a little male eevee as he could see the lights of pokéball capture reflecting off the foliage.

It growled defensively enough even peppered the Head Ranger with TAIL WHIP. Before it could go any further Babysaur closed the distance and caught up using a TAKE DOWN to dominate the eevee and make it easy for Sénon's pokéball.

Crimsen attempted to capture Eevee!

Summer Battle Solstice 00

POSTED ON Mar 6, 2022 11:42:01 GMT

Before Cait got too ahead of the moment with future plans he brought her back to right now. It seemed he wasn't quite done yet. "I joined this battle tournament to get back in proper form for Ranging."

He tried to hide the humility he'd been forced to live down. "I, kinda thought I was going to win the Grand Prize." Imagine that, in Kanto on business for weeks unable to battle just to come back to Hoenn and dominate the entire region in a Battle Tournament.

Yeah, right.

Still, he had gone undefeated for as many as 13 matches and only 1 of those 13 had been a draw.

Kanto represent.

"I walked away with something nice though." Before he rose from the sand he pulled a collapsed Dark Ball from his pocket before quick-pressing the singular button, expanding it to full size, putting it in Cait's hands.

ダークボール | A Dark Ball, pristine and unassuming.

A happiny huh? "Deal with it Baby." He dashed on, knowing the bulbasaur could catch up with him once it was done.

"It" being the careful and gentle execution of SLEEP POWDER
on the baby pokémon until it fell into dreamland.

Even if it manage to get a couple of hit off like the Stufful, it hit the ground eventually all the same.

It took some careful 'vinework' to tag the small pokémon with the pokéball but Babysaur had seen it done enough time to make a sensible attempt.

Aim and throw, or in his case; grab and tap.

The ball seemed to do the rest of the work.

~~Crimsen~~ Babysaur attempted to capture Happiny!

"Yeah but why?" SHe went back to propping up his head on the back wall while staring at the back of his own eyelids. "You could be anywhere in the world." That probably wasn't true. Unlike himself, actual soldiers had to go where they were told to go.

"Yet, you're here with me." He couldn't say she was here for him but it was indisputable she was here with him which made her as big a fool as he was.

"Wouldn't you and the kid be happier in Galar or Johto?" Personally if he could have kept Sagira from going back them, he would have opted for a move to Alola; the place that was pretty much Cinnabar Island to the scale of an entire region.

I'll have something to show next AC.

♣︎ also still captain grooming boruta maher, i've been a slouch in this one and im grateful to Mad for being a good sport with me.
we've got 2 plot threads spinning that support this end give me some more to focus on them

On a night when the air was biting crisp and the region felt colder than it should have been this time of year.

The medical team would send word to a select list of phone numbers, and trainer IDs from pokédex to xtranceivers.

Sénon Game, although not yet awake, was stabilized and approved for visitors.

It wasn't uncommon for Hoenn's most influential to occupy a hospital bed from time to time. Most of the medical staff seemed just accustomed enough to such circumstances they didn't emote in concern for the Head Ranger's prospects.

They'd seen worse and medical records indicated Sénon had as well.

Even still, with his head healed and no other injuries to speak of, he did not wake no matter the hours passed.

This was hour 44.

The escorting nurses seemed more concerned gushing over the Head Ranger's hair and tattoos, until they got a load of Adrian Malcolm and his baby face. For them, leaving Adrian with his visitation time was getting to spend their shift around two handsome faces.

When they closed the door in their exit, the gravity of the moment would hit like a Seismic Toss; the more one knew Sénon the more unnatural it would feel to see him lying there, inert, personality dormant.
