Turffield Stadium, VS Milo

Evelyn: Mirai! Use Draining Kiss again!

-Mirai nods, then waits for Milo's Tsareena to approach, before stepping out of the way, grabbing onto Tsareena's hand, spinning her around and performing a dip before kissing Tsareena again.-

-Milo's Tsareena blushes again and emanates a surge of energy that Mirai once again absorbs.-

-Mirai then lets go of Tsareena's hand and she falls to the floor.-

Tsareena: <♥Uwaa...~♥>

-Tsareena then picks herself up, dusts herself off then walks backs to Milo's side of the field.-

Milo: Okay, maybe aiming for that Kirlia is a bad idea... Let's try something else. Tsareena, Use Power Whip on that Chimchar!

-Tsareena's blush fades and she's back in battle mode. She manifests a whip formed from vines and magical energy in her hand, then charges at Hanuman swinging it around!-

Me: Didn't think she'd go down too easily! Hanuman, use Flamethrower!

-Hanuman jumps up and spits out a stream of fire in Tsareena's direction. The flames strike Tsareena at the same moment that Tsareena's Power Whip strikes Hanuman. Both Pokémon fall to the floor reeling.-

Turffield Stadium, VS Milo

-Both Hanuman and Milo's Tsareena pull themselves to their feet. However, Milo's Tsareena falls back to the ground, exhausted.-

Referee: Tsareena is unable to battle!

-Milo calls Tsareena back to her ball.-

Milo: That was quite a surprising strategy! But this ol' boy's not done yet!

Eldegoss! Shiftry! C'mon out!!

-Milo throws two more Poké Balls into the air, and Eldegoss and Shiftry join the battle.-

Eldegoss: <Ohh, yes! Here I am, my loving fans! I have returned to put on another show JUST FOR YOU!>

Shiftree: <Now it's time to party!>

Me: Whoa! Cool!

-Ian and Evelyn check their Pokédexes.-

Evelyn's Pokédex: Eldegoss, the Cotton Bloom Pokémon, and the evolved form of Gossifleur. A Grass Type. The seeds attached to its cotton fluff are full of nutrients. It spreads them on the wind so that plants and other Pokémon can benefit from them. The cotton on the head of this Pokémon can be spun into a glossy, gorgeous yarn—a Galar regional specialty.

Gossifleur, the Flowering Pokémon. A Grass type. It anchors itself in the ground with its single leg, then basks in the sun. After absorbing enough sunlight, its petals spread as it blooms brilliantly. It whirls around in the wind while singing a joyous song. This delightful display has charmed many into raising this Pokémon. This Pokémon evolves into Eldegoss.

Ian's Pokédex: Shiftry, the Wicked Pokémon, and the final evolution of Seedot. A Grass and Dark type. Shiftry is a mysterious creature that lives deep within the forest. They are said to live in the tops of trees that are over a thousand years old. With the leafy fans on its arms, Shiftry can whip up gusts of winds at speeds up to 100 ft/s.

Me: Let's keep this up! Hanuman! Use Flame Wheel on Eldegoss!

Evelyn: Mirai! Use Magical Leaf on Shiftry!

-Hanuman jumps into the air, the corners of his mouth start to flare, he curls himself into a ball and rolls right at Eldegoss.-

-Mirai performs a few pirouettes, summoning rainbow-colored leaves which follow her dance, and throws the leaves at Shiftry.-

Milo: Eldegoss, Use Protect! Shiftry, use Leaf Blade!

-Eldegoss sticks its tongue out at Hanuman then turns its back to Ian and Evelyn, summoning a shield of light from the cotton on its head. Hanuman proceeds to bounce right off of that shield.-

-Shiftry sharpens its fans and slashes at the Magical Leaves, cutting them clean in half.-

Kim: "That has to hurt."

Elton: (excitedly) <I hope someone evolves!>

Turffield Stadiumn, VS Milo

Hanuman: <Even WITHOUT Dynamaxing, that Eldegoss is tough...>

Me: Yeah! So let's show them we're even tougher!

Evelyn: If you need any help, tell me. This Shiftry is troublesome.

Mirai: <And honestly, I felt more comfortable using Draining Kiss on Tsareena than I would feel using it on Shiftry...>

Me: Hey, Evelyn. I have an idea... One I might think would work...

Evelyn: Oh? Lay it on me...

Me: Okay, so it goes like this...

Kim: (leans in her seat) "Oh? What are they planning?"

Ozzy: <Probably something big.>

Hi, I’m oghond, and I’m a Rushaholic. Sorry if I annoy you unintentionally. 😅

Mr. King laughed at Salem's comments, and put the orange helmet on, the familiar distorted voice came in, "Hello."

He took it back off, "I am Delta, Number 2 Hunter in the Guild. Ma'at here was loaned to me by Sphinx, this is a mission he agrees with completing. We're going after a Pokefutures front for a object that my client has deemed to dangerous to be in their hands, something I agree with."

The hologram projector showed the ancient stone box, "The Codex, supposedly a repository of a lot of knowledge in pokemon genetics. Even if false it still represents a dangerous idea that we don't want sickso like them working with."

Jack leaned back a bit, it was times like this he had taken Castle up on his offer for those cigars, good quality as well. Then again, cigars was usually his gift to Castle anyways.

"As for payment Kitbash, this job is worth a little more than a monetary number. This job will rocket you up quite a few ranks, not to top 10 but it will still get you a lot more jobs, and better quality ones as well. you will be compensated, no worries, Ma'at if you would, forward our starting amount to the accounts here."

Jack smirked, "Rest well everyone, we begin the operation tomorrow. My best pilot, Gamma, will be showing up with one of my Dropships, we're doing this clean, get in, grab the item, get out. Any major questions?"

Turffield Stadium, VS Milo

Me: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~So... Hanuman will use Flame Wheel like he did last time, but this time... we have Mirai suspend him in midair with Psychic and spin him around Mario 64 style. Or... Was it Mario and Luigi style?~

Evelyn: -telepathically to Ian- ~Regardless of the style, I think I know what you're planning...~

Me: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~I haven't gotten to the best part yet... After gaining enough momentum from spinning Hanuman around, Mirai then THROWS Hanuman at one of the Pokémon...~

Evelyn: -telepathically to Ian- ~That sounds manageable...~

Milo: -thinks to himself- Boy... Those kids are awfully quiet... I wonder what they're thinking about...

Me: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~But HERE'S the kicker! When Hanuman is thrown, Mirai shifts her Psychic's focus from one target to another...~

Evelyn: -telepathically to Ian- ~Wait... Aren't Dark-Types immune to Psychic? So, using Psychic on Shiftry wouldn't do anything...~

Me: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~Obviously, that's what we WANT Milo to think when we perform it, so instead of Shiftry, Mirai shifts her focus...~

Evelyn: -telepathically to Ian- ~...to Eldegoss! Of course!!~

Me: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~You read my mind, Evelyn... Whaddya think?~

Evelyn: -telepathically to Evelyn- ~Let's do it!~

Me: Hanuman! Use Flame Wheel again!

Evelyn: Mirai! Use Psychic on Hanuman!

-Hanuman jumps into the air, the corners of his mouth start to flare, and curls himself into a ball.-

-Mirai's eyes glow a brilliant blue, resulting in Hanuman's Flame Wheel glowing with a blue outline and being suspended in midair.-

Turffield Stands, Watching Ian vs Evelyn

Suzie: Hoo-boy, a full team. I was expecting him to stop after two apiece like he did with Will.

Fuka: You think it's because they're older? He's assuming they're more experienced while Will's at the age most people start training?

(Suzie frowns)

Suzie: And I'll just bet Milo went easy on Will, too, when he threw out a Ground-type against him. (Suzie sighs) Fuka, after this battle-

Fuka: Ask Ian and Evelyn to tell Will nothing of their match?

Suzie: Ahead of me, as always. He's finally making progress now that he's had a Gym Battle of his own, but that boy will throw a tantrum for sure if he finds out the next people in line got a full team double battle.

Fuka laughs then looks back to the pitch.

Fuka: They've been quiet. They're planning again. If I were Milo I'd probably rush them to interrupt what they're doing.

During all this, the Binacle Cheer Squad performs with surprising coordination, given that Suzie's Unown, Fuka's Binacle, and Will's Cubone have never worked together in thsi way before. Elanor has their claws up, with Ronin standing upon them, his bone held horizontally above him, where Waka floats just above so it looks like Ronin's holding him up without putting any actual weight on the Pokemon.

Suzie takes her eyes off the battle for a moment to look at her phone. She opens the contacts and looks at the K's.

Suzie (to herself): Old man, I may need to call in a favor if things with the kid go south.

Fuka: Ooh, neat!

Suzie looks back to the fight to see Hanuman the Chimchar Flame Wheeling in place in midair.

Fuka: Will's used a trick like this with Puri. When he gets going he's going to move.

[Burj-al-Arab], Room 101

Salem: -raising his hand- I have one.

Turffield Stadium, VS Milo

-Mirai stands en pointe, straightens her arms, pointing out, then begins to spin, slowly at first, but gaining speed with each rotation, changing feet with each spin, maintaining her focus on Hanuman. Hanuman's Flame Wheel begins to circle Mirai as she spins, gaining momentum with each revolution. This keeps up until Hanuman, encased in flames, appears as nothing more than a fiery ring surrounding the psychic ballerina that is Mirai.-

Milo: Eh?! What's goin' on over there? Eldegoss, Shiftry! Get ready!

-Shiftry relaxes his arm fans, preparing to whip up a gust of wind to blow away Hanuman and Mirai. Eldegoss tenses up, readying themselves to attack.-

♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...

Abilene: Mmm.

What is so special about this Flygon?

Byleth: … . _.

-theirs is the silent, inexpressive stare of someone who knows Chrom and his cohorts are fairly excellent at fighting, and hopes they're out for ice cream or something-

-also yeah that's a good idea-

-Vee catches up to Pollen halfway up the road-

Vee: -huff- <We've both got senses tuned pretty much solely to gettin' ourselves fed.>

Pollen: <Whatever.>

-Vee smells...disdain-

-insincerity, disinterest—clashing irritatingly with what she feels welling up within herself-

Vee: -prodding- <You thin' I asked for this? You thin' I asked to be—ripped t' shreds an' drank to a drop an'—>

-claw to her patch- <—get a sword in my fucking EYE?>

-with her good eye she stares Pollen down, swirling into her path-

-what Pollen sees is the throbbing of a parasite vine—malnourished, withered where it clings-

-hungry, the way she's always been-

Pollen: -compound eyes glittering dangerously- <...you know what, yeah.>

Vee: <...what?>

Pollen: -buzzing louder- <Yeah, you did! You picked all those fights!>

Vee: -fizz- <Not for my sake—>

Pollen: -and louder- <What's the difference?! Time and again, you charge into—you accept the costs as rote!>

Vee: -growl- <Watch it—>

Pollen: -rant- <You take them onto yourself!! Are you surprised at what you've become?>

Vee: <I—>

Pollen: <Aren't you HAPPY, now that you can hold them tight and drink them up and keep them all to yourself?!>

-a drop too far-

-the plummet from heated to cold, deep, and dark-

Vee: -low- <I've never kept them from you.>

Pollen: -snort, weakly-

-Pollen's never heard the words "bathysphere", or "[Marianas Trench]"-

Vee: -inhale- <You did good, okay? Is that what you want to hear? You did good.>

Pollen: <I don't need—your fucking validation.>

-to the last five seconds, she'd prefer intimate familiarity-

Vee: <Too bad. Yer gettin' it. Thank you, Pollen, for fightin' that guy. Thank you, Pollen, fer takin' the initiative when it became clear you weren' gonna get instruction. Thank you, Pollen, for makin' sure we weren' gonna go through that Taurosshit again, they should've led with you from the start.>

-there's the words she wanted to hear—said in a rage so visible she can almost taste it-

Vee: <But there's thin's more important than who fights the best.>

-algae blooms sucking oxygen out of the sea, leaving dead zones and red tides-

Pollen: <O-oh, that's rich, coming from you. You never—shut up about it!>

Vee: <I'd KNOW!>

-is this it? Is this where the restraints finally break?-

-well, she can take it. Come on.-

-flickers of green play around Pollen's palps, anticipatorily-

-they don't go unnoticed-

-Vee takes a deep breath, the roil of her emotion cultivating a terrible internal force, ready to loose—-

—-far outstripping Pollen's little flickers, tension raging from fins to tail, breaking—-

-and five hundred meters away, a wave crests slightly higher than it otherwise would-

(-...what?-)

Vee: -hissing exhale, sitting on her haunches- <...so.>

-that's not-

Vee: -flicking her tail- <Oh helpful strife-fairy, what's your opinion on the next course of action?>

Pollen: -stare- <...>

<...you think we should stop.>

Vee: <Yeah.>

Pollen: <We should keep going.>

Vee: -sharply- <Why?>

Pollen: <Since when does it matter what I think? You've got them wrapped around your little claw.>

Vee: -gritting her teeth- <It is not, nor has it ever been, up to me.>

Pollen: -snort- <Whatever.>

Vee: <I didn' want this! I don't like them going without me—!>

Pollen: <Yeah.>

Vee: <Getting hurt where I can't do anything about it, like it isn't my job to look after 'em—>

Pollen: <Uh-huh.>

Vee: -waver- <Sitting back an', an' watchin', everythin', fall apart…>

Pollen: <Right.>

-...-

Vee: <Why do you hate me so much?>

-it's enough to startle Pollen out of her miserable stupor-

-Beat-

Pollen: <I don't hate you.>

Vee: -pfff- <You ain't gotta hide it, y'know? You've been pretty forthcomin' so far, you know I can take it.>

Pollen: <I don't.>

Vee: -dry- <The room reeks of loathin' every time I walk in—>

Pollen: <I DON'T!>

-even to her own ears, it sounds weak-

-Vee scoffs quietly, turning to leave-

Vee: -crafting a smile- <Well, whatever. We've got a match to get to.>

-...-

Pollen: <...you're perfect.>

-water drips onto the cobbles-

<You waltz into a fairy court, say "no"—and everyone lives. You throw yourself at a Buzzwole—bent on beating the life out of everyone you care about, and…everyone lives. You're a vampire and a monster and somehow you're everything a Pokémon's supposed to be.>

<You don't hurt the people you're close to.>

<They love you.>

-if Vee were there to hear, she'd notice the loathing-scent only growing stronger-

-tremble- <I couldn't hate you if I tried.>

<Why—>

Human!Thespi: -clapping her on the back- Hey, Pollen! What're you brooding about?

Pollen: -growl- <...nothing.>

Human!Thespi: Haha, classic! C'mon, we're headed to the match—

Megan: -dragging her feet- ahahahahahahaha

Human!Ceal: -almost dragging her by the arm- C-c'mon! You walk so slowly…

Fraidy: -padding by- <um.> ;-;

Pollen: -snarl- <I'M FINE.>

Kitbash: Alright I'm in. Need any specific tools or toys for the day or should I just pop what's in my go-bag?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Room 101, [Burj al-Arab]

Ma'at discretely sends a princely sum to the participating hunters' accounts, which they would notice if they kept track of that sort of thing. It's all very discreet.

Ma'at: Compliments of Delta. A pithy downpayment of course, untraceable to the authorities. The full payment would be much more generous.

She also displayed an image of the target, digitally replicated from screenshots taken from the news cast.

Ma'at: Just so we know what it looks like.

And then, beside it, comes a picture of the woman who acquired the codex.

Ma'at: As a creature of living code, I am often thought to have no stake in the lives of organics. But I've seen what she has personally done to most of the Pokémon she acquired, and it is appalling on a profound level. You are instructed by the Hunter's Guild leadership never to deal with her or any of her affiliates on the threat of termination.

Stormchaser, the next morning

Clara awoke to the soft whirring and humming of a Celesteela-themed ceiling fan. Staring at it for a moment, she felt something was wrong.

Then she realized she’d left Suzuki out in the hallway.

“Gh- j- I- Oh, for the love of Giratina! Suzuki!! Are you still the-“

The gargantuan Ultra Beast was planted just outside the bedroom door, as if it were patiently waiting to be returned to its ball. In disbelief, Clara did so before waking her mother and heading out to talk to the two humans who had invited her onto the ship.

Hop on Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Stormchaser

Beck can be spotted at the Taco Bell in the Stormchaser's food court. Yes, this place has a Taco Bell and a food court. No, nobody knows why it does. He is eating a sausage, egg and queso burrito. His pokémon—a team of beetles—gather over a pile of hash browns.

Upton and his team are also there, eating a packed lunch.

The quarters where Tommy and Upton had been staying in had a "Do not disturb" sign pasted on.

The Stormchaser has a food court?

“Oh, hi guys! H- how are you this morning? And why’s there a food court in a private organization skyship?”

Clara and her mother glossed over the many “shops”, wondering if they required money. Mama was, in her own way, simply curious about the area; Clara, having forgotten to eat all day yesterday, was much more hunger-oriented.

<Clara’s Rotomphone overflowed with chat notifications, most of which consisted of Tomi-Chan playfully teasing her as usual.>

Hop on Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Stormchaser Food Court

The shops are empty on close inspection, as though they're still waiting for a tenant to move in. Only the Taco Bell is operational.

Beck: Kid, if you stay here long enough, you stop asking questions and just roll with it. Trust me; it'll save you a lot of headaches. I tried getting a [Greggs] or a [Nando's] here, though, but all the higher ups say "what's wrong with bringing your own lunch?"

Upton: You can only eat chimichangas so much before you get sick of it.

Beck: True that.

Turffield Stadium, VS Milo

-Mirai's pirouettes get faster and faster, gaining momentum with each rotation still...-

-Mirai releases her Psychic grip on Hanuman, sending Hanuman barreling towards the Grass Pokémon at high speeds. Mirai then shifts her focus from Hanuman...-

Milo: Oh no, ya don't! Shiftry, use Hurricane! Eldegoss, Protect!

-Milo's Shiftry brings his fans together and generates a strong gust of wind in Hanuman's direction. However, the heat of the Flame Wheel renders the Hurricane attack ineffective as Hanuman continues his fiery path through the air. Eldegoss attempts to summon a shield of light from the cotton on its head, but it fails.-

Eldegoss: <Eh?! What is going on? My Protect fai->

-...to Eldegoss! Eldegoss is caught in a psychic force, incapable of moving.-

Eldegoss: <Wh-What's this?! I... Can't move...>

-Hanuman's Flame Wheel nails Shiftry in the face at the same moment Mirai flicks her wrist, both Pokémon go barreling into the nearby wall, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and smoke. Hanuman then jumps out of the dust cloud and returns to Mirai's side.-

Mirai and Hanuman: Team Attack: Swing 'Mons!

"Salem, we're professionals who collect pokemon for collectors and afficiantos. We sometimes collect pieces but in a way that's all above board, we're a surgical scalpel. Pokefutures however are butchers with no care, rhyme, or reason," Jack explained calmly.

"We do the job that not many want, J collects rare, unique, and powerful specimens. I collect rare pokemon that collectors, such as the Macrauls, may want. That said, we're not depraved, we do the job needed, and we try to keep things above board," He continued, tenting his fingers together.

"Pokefutures also has a long history of that depravity, and backstabbing. As soon as we're no longer useful, they're selling us out and continuing on their insane plans. We do a job, they are madmen. We're professionals, and professionals have standards," Jack finished.

It went unsaid but judging by the fact that his beloved Charizard was right next to him, it was also clear that Delta/Jack may just hate them for what they do. Regardless it was official policy.

"Sphinx, J, and I have special orders to... collect any Hunter found dealing with them," he added, with a slight growl to his tone, "Ma'at, care to divulge one of the possible fates for Hunters found working with any of our blacklisted contacts?"

Room 101

Ma'at: A Hunter found to be in violation of our codes—especially those related to customers we find... unacceptable—shall be blacklisted. They would be cut off from all guild resources and stricken from listings and recommendations. Clients shall be informed of this hunter's... reputation, preventing them from attempting to build competing careers. Moreover, our protections from the point of termination shall there on out be revoked, leaving you to the mercy of the authorities. Attempts at squealing will, of course, fall on deaf ears. You know how these types can be.
