Fabergé ma- okay its just Fabergé bringing Skyfire something
[Having either released itself, or have been released at something, the magearna quite suddenly interrupts Skyfire’s sunning by offering them a bottle of water- if it filled it itself or nabbed it from somewhere is impossible to be certain!]
Skyfire flicked its ears up at the sound of something getting closer to them. Opening their eyes slowly and looking up at the robot.
It sniffed the bottle of water. Before gently taking it with their mouth and bumping its head against Fabergé as thanks.
Then the typhlosion proceeded to knaw off the cap, chew on it for a moment, eat it, then started mleming the water as far as its tongue could reach.

A very confused and slightly concerned Aranza approaches (David or Arceus either works honestly lol), admittedly half tripping over robes that definitely weren’t made with a ranch in mind. He stops, opening his mouth to speak several times before grimacing and shaking his head.
Finally he simply kind of just gestured around and asks “Why…?”
Arceus gave him a gentle smile.
"This is because David did so desire to help Pokémon." It spoke warmly and gently as it dumped a bucket of chopped vegetables into a trough, garnering some attention from select Pokémon. "Is that not wonderful?"
Aranza mail from Aranza- I mean, he’s literally just handing it over and running away 😅!
[A note, written on a piece of paper he must have ripped off of somewhere, with a random marker ‘Sorry. I shouldn’t ask this, it is inconvenient. But… Can I stay just a little longer? I’m not sure if I’m ready to return. And deal with these things. You know how it is. Sorry.’]
[A return mail is sent. More like Skyfire giving a note back to him they reads 'sure, take the time you need' ]
[Get stared at by a very confused Sage! Don’t worry about it, he just does this sometimes!]
David tried to not mind it, but being stared at really was not his forte. He kept in mind, though, that this was Aranza. Or, well... a version of his former... friend...? Certainly a guy with a complex and troubled history of his own.
Kieran was walking out of Restaurant Le Nah, having just won against Rintaro and obtained Rank V. He's patting Lily's head proudly, and a Shiny Mareep prances at his feet, the two of them having done most of the work. Noodle is still perched on his shoulders, just like usual, though she looks oddly alert for once, instead of her usual calm and playfulness.
"Good job Lily, Zinnia. We're doin' real good with all this!" He praises the two, before his phone starts to ring. "Huh? Oh, it's Emma!"
"Kieran! It's Emma!" Emma shouts over the phone, making Kieran startle a little at the volume. "Listen, I received a tip that the Pokémon I've been after is in your area right now, but-"
"Zeeee!"
Kieran and his Pokémon immediately turn towards the noise, with Kieran letting out a little gasp. "Ah!-"
A few feet away stands a dog Pokémon of black and green, with white eyes, a green scarf, and a red hexagon on its neck.
"That cry just now... Did you see what kind of Pokémon it came from?" Emma questions, making Kieran let out a nervous laugh.
"Uhhh... Black and green, four legs?"
"Whatever you do, DON’T LET THAT POKÉMON OUT OF YOUR SIGHT, KIERAN!" Emma shouts again, making Kieran grimace and lean away from his phone slightly. "Based on its cry and your description, I have reason to believe the Pokémon near you is Zygarde in its 10% Forme!"
"Wuh- w-wait, Zygarde?? Isn't that a-" Kieran starts to ask, only for Noodle to cut him off with a squeak, pointing her paw at Zygarde, which has started to run off. "O-Oh, AAH! Okay, chasing, chasing! Lily, Zinnia, Noodle, come back!"
Returning his Pokémon and hanging up the call early, Kieran chases after Zygarde through the streets. Down cobbled tiles, around buildings, taking sharp turns at a bridge and nearly cutting it off, a near-miss where he could almost grab it when he reached for it, Zygarde slips away each time, and leads Kieran running through a park, then up a staircase.
By the time they stop, Kieran is winded, hunching forward for a moment to pant for breath, putting a hand on his chest, bracing the other on his knee.
"W-Whew... a-alright, I gotcha now, Zygarde!" Kieran laughs weakly, crouching slightly to be at Zygarde's level. "Why'd you bring me here, eh? One of my friends is lookin' for ya!"
Zygarde doesn't respond, simply staring up to the roof of a building.
Kieran's voice cracks as Zygarde grabs his arms in its jaws, before suddenly leaping up to the roof with a loud "ZEH!". He stumbles when they land, holding his arm in surprise.
They're so high up. Kieran stares out over Lumiose in awe, getting a good view of the city, before his gaze lands back on Zygarde. It doesn't stick around, lunging forward and disappearing with a burst of speed that makes it near-invisible, and makes Kieran startle. "Aw man.."
But then his gaze wanders a bit more, and it lands on an Absol.
The Absol looks pained, staggering in place with an odd magenta glow around it.
Kieran can feel his heart stop for a moment, before starting again a few beats too fast for his liking. He takes a half-step back, holding his hands up slightly. "H-Huh..?"
"KIERAN!" Emma calls from back on the ground, making him look over his shoulder. "Where's Zygarde?!"
Kieran doesn't answer, just looking back at the Absol. He's started to sweat, despite the cool night air, letting out a shaky breath. He can hear Emma mention something about a surge of Mega Power, whatever that means, but his vision narrows, focusing only on that Absol.
He has a sinking feeling in his gut, that he knows exactly where this is about to go.
Sure enough, the Absol lets out an earsplitting howl, making Kieran slam his hands over his ears with a wince, screwing his eyes shut against a bright burst of light.
The area distorts, Mega Energy swirling and shining, shifting the terrain, and Kieran clutches his right arm suddenly. Rolling up the sleeve of his jacket, the Tera Crystals have taken on a pink sheen, almost like the Mega Crystals scattered across Lumiose, and he lets out a little whimper at the sight.
"N-No... no, no..!"
Kieran's gaze snaps back to the Absol, watching an iridescent shell form around the Dark Type, growing larger, before shattering into pieces. The Absol looks angelic, fluffy wings of fur sprouting from its back as its horn grows larger on the side of its head.
Kieran stumbles back, hitting the ground. He's turned as pale as the Absol's fur, his breathing picking up and turning ragged.
No. Not again. Not this again. It's all too familiar.
A rampaging Pokémon. Being the only one there to stop it. An attack coming right for him- AN ATTACK IS COMING TOWARDS HIM!
Kieran barely manages to roll out of the way, letting out a shriek of terror.
"HOSHINO!"
He flings a Luxury Ball from his satchel, and out comes a little Ogre Pokémon that stands up to his waist. She has a green cloak of moss, black horns, and golden, starry eyes that sparkle in the light.
"Pon?!-"
Hoshino looks around with wide eyes, clearly confused by the surroundings, before her eyes land on the Rogue Absol approaching a very panicked Kieran. She startles, before letting out a growl and yanking a mask from her cloak, a Teal Mask with sparkling crystals. Ogerpon lets out a war cry as she charges the Absol with an Ivy Cudgel, smacking the dog away with the spiky club.
Kieran can barely breathe as he watches Hoshino fight the Absol. He clutches his chest and arm, breathing too fast for him to actually be getting any decent air.
It's too familiar. The feeling of helplessness as he watches a Pokémon rampage, and her Pokémon fighting to stop it before someone else gets hurt. It has panic clawing at his throat, taking root in his chest and lungs as he wheezes and struggles for any semblance of control.
"HEY, DIPSHIT!"
Kieran's head snaps up when he hears that raspy snarl, seeing Thanatos leap out of his ball, too. His ball must have fallen from Kieran's satchel when he rolled out of the way. The Hisuian Zoroark lunges for the Absol, teaming up with Hoshino to rain damage down on it, but even with the two Pokémon being as powerful as they are, it barely seems to be doing anything.
He has to help them.
He HAS to do SOMETHING.
But what can he do?!
Kieran's mind whirls for a solution to the problem, eyes darting this way and that, before he locks onto his Tera Orb.
That could work.
But there's no Tera Energy.
This isn't Paldea.
This isn't Kitakami.
This isn't Blueberry Academy.
There's no sources of Tera Energy in Kalos.
... Except for...
Kieran reaches one hand into his satchel, taking out an unassuming-looking basic Pokéball. It rattles in his hand, and he sends the Pokémon inside out.
The Pokémon sparkles as brightly as the crystals on Kieran's arm, letting out a warbling cry which makes Kieran shiver head to toe as he clutches his right arm, feeling it ache all over again.
But he hears the familiar sound of his Tera Orb being charged.
He snatches the Tera Orb up, holding it up with both hands. The gleam of brilliant rainbow light is even brighter than the Absol's Mega Evolution, and Kieran lets out a desperate yell as he flings the Tera Orb towards Hoshino.
"HOSHINO, IVY CUDGEL!"
Hoshino looks up when she sees the burst of rainbow light, recognizing it. She grins under her mask, leaping up for the Tera Orb and smacking the end of her cloak against it. A large cluster of Tera Crystals envelops her, and the Teal Mask grows tenfold, sparkling in the night like a comet. Vines and ivy curl at the ends of it, and leaves blow around Hoshino as she charges at the Absol again, attacking it with Tera-Boosted moves.
Thanatos looks back at Kieran in surprise for a brief moment. Out of everything the Zoroark expected of Kieran, this wasn't it. But the baneful fox grins, whirling back around and attacking the Absol with a Strong Style Focus Blast, letting out a delighted cackle.
All the while, Kieran feels like there's a vice around his lungs. Even as he watches Hoshino, Thanatos, and the third Pokémon work together to attack the Absol, Kieran is still struggling for breath. He clutches his chest as he stumbles to the side, tears streaming down his face.
Not again. Not again. He can't let this happen again. He's already hurt someone enough, he can't let it happen again. He doesn't want to lose another friend because of a rampaging Pokémon going out of control.
Another swing of the Ivy Cudgel, and the Absol is defeated with a pained yowl. It stumbles and staggers back, returning to normal as it flops to the ground, exhausted.
Thanatos and Hoshino pant for breath, the two looking at each other as Hoshino's Tera Mask shimmers and returns to normal, the Teal Mask sitting askew on her head. The two cheer and high-five, before turning back to Kieran and the sparkling Pokémon at his feet as he returns it to its ball with a choked wheeze. The celebration dies instantly, and they both scramble to him worriedly, yapping and chirping at him in alarm.
The noise makes Kieran's head spin worse. It's so loud. There's so much going on. Did they win? They had to have won. It's still so loud, still so bright, there's too much-
A weak whine breaks Kieran from his spiraling thoughts.
The Absol has gotten up, though it's clearly weakened and tired. It had trotted over to Kieran, pawing at his chest and nudging the boy down, wanting to help him.
Kieran hits the rooftop with a small thud, hunching over and sobbing. He clings to the Absol as it wiggles its way into his hold, making the boy lay down and be pressed under the dark type's weight as it tucks its face against his chest.
It feels nice. Warm. The pressure helps. It's like a weighted blanket.

"champion Brendan please, we can't have you do this right now, the Eternatus situation is already an international incident even without you revealing megas to the whole world and engaging in Galarian affairs." says a sweaty bureaucrat, chasing after a 30 year old Brendan, scurrying to gather supplies.
"what, you're saying I can't handle this without megas? where's your faith? cmon."
"Sir, you have the eon flute in your hand and your keystone on your wrist."
Brendan shrugs and continues "worth a shot. But no, I'm going. Rose wants to summon a giant dragon, he gets to meet a giant dragon! Best of luck!"
"Sir, they have a champion, and supposedly champion leon has some sort of lead regarding the legendary wolves of Galar. We have to wait." the bureacrat pleads.
"Tough shit. Champion Serena can talk about maintaining order between regions, but I haven't been able to enjoy anything this intense in more than a decade. I kept the whole secret around megas for a while, but if Rose is bringing down a legendary pokemon, those secrets are dying today with or without my help. Bye!" Brendan steps outside of the lab plays the flute as a blue blur yanks him off the ground and bursts into rainbow light. The bureaucrat panics and finds professor May Birch standing beside him, appearing like a ghost.
"Professor Birch, oh thank goodness. Champions Stone and Wally are in ever grande, Wallace is in sootopolisyou're the only person capable of stopping champion Brendan, you have to do something, please! This is a global crisis!"
she looks back quizically after sending out latias from a luxury ball, seeming generally pleasant about the whole affair. "Sorry do you think my husband was just packing his stuff? I'm not retired like him, if I want to go calm an ancient alien spirit, I have to make sure all my work is sorted first. Which it is. Toodles!" She smiles and uses her mega ring to evolve her latias, casually climbing onto her back, and shooting off into the sky as a purple streak.

The distant sound of motorcycles approached the Academy.
The building in the distance was rather innocuous, but Jace could tell. This street wasn't lived in, it was practically just a set for the stupid play he had been dreaming of shutting down.
"You all remember our main rule?" Beau asked the group.
"Don't hurt the birdmon kid!" A few grunts chirped back.
"Hey, you guys listened for once! How nice~!" Beau smiled at Jace, who was much more serious than xem. They were all too slow to stop the surgery, and clearly that was weighing on him. Best for xem to keep some levity up, though.
"Let's teach old man Poke-hoarder a lesson, then. Jake, how about you and Tyranny wake up our guests, huh?"
Jakey, a grunt with long messy hair and a tooth necklace, stepped forward, taking an Ultra Ball out of his pocket.
The Academy was nearly shaken by the roar of a Tyranitaur, their first and only warning before the Riders surged towards the building, hooting and howling like wild Lycanrocs.
Sightings of the dangerous organized crime group Team Riders have been reported in Northern Galar today.
The group of bikers and delinquents is known for their pretty crime and for allowing Pokemon such as Houndoom, Rampardos, Bombirdier, and other dangerous or unruly Pokemon to cause public disruptions and destruction.
The group rarely appears outside of their home region of Shinria, usually only doing so for targeted raids (and, according to some rumors, Halloween parties). Few crimes committed by the gang have been reported so far, but caution is still advised when sighting a member, especially admins Jacob Hemminger or Beauregard Bonnie. [A link to a Team Registry is attached]
One Team Riders grunt, described as a young adult man with long dirty-blond hair wearing a Dragon Fang necklace, has been reported wearing a Mega Bracelet, and thus could be in possession of highly dangerous Pokemon. We advise not approaching this person. If you have more information regarding this individual, call the GBC breaking news line at [phone number]
The members of Team Riders are currently being sighted in Northern Galar near the Crown Tundra and appear to be traveling south. This story is still developing.
