✧✧【The warmth on her face from the sunlight spilling into the room through the uncovered window was what stirred Eveline into wakefulness, the redhead covering up a yawn with a hand as she rolled over so she wouldn’t be immediately blinded when she opened her eyes. She hadn’t really checked what the time had been before she’d gone to sleep last night, but according to the clock on the nightstand it was about ‘8:42 AM’ right now. She almost didn’t want to get out of bed right now, feeling far too comfy underneath the sheets piled atop her. Surely a couple more hours’ worth of sleep wouldn’t hurt, right? Ah ******** it… She was already pretty much wide awake now, might as well get ready to tackle the day while she was up. They had a lot to catch up on now that they were back in Galar, and after going off on that around the world scavenger hunt for those wishing stars Eveline was ready to just hunker down and focus more on the reason they’d even come here to begin with. For starters, of course, they had to start getting badges.
Rolling her shoulders as she sat up in bed, she glanced over to where Zacian was now laying curled up in a small pool of sunlight by the window, the sound of soft snores coming from the mound of purple fur a clear indication that the wolf was still asleep. A soft smile crept across Eveline’s face at the sight and how oddly cute it was to see the legendary sleeping so peacefully, before she carefully slid herself out of bed and immediately got into her routine to prepare for the day. Grabbing a couple changes of clothes for herself and her new companion, her makeup kit, and her hygiene stuff out of her bag, she quietly crept across the room to the bathroom as to not disturb the sleeping wolf and eased the door shut behind her.
After taking a good ten minutes or so to wash her face, get dressed, and apply her makeup to cover up her signature scar, Eveline walked back into the room and saw Zacian was now awake. The wolf yawned loudly as she stretched in a dog-like manner and shook herself off, her half-tired golden eyes settling on the woman and greeting her with a toothy smile and a couple wags of her bushy dark blue tail.”A fair morning to you, Eveline. Did you sleep well?”The redhead idly wondered how long it had taken for Zacian to fall asleep last night, it seemed like she’d likely been sitting over by that window the entire time. ”Morning. And yeah, after all zee stuff that happened yesterday I’m sure I slept like a log,” she returned casually with a chuckle, putting the rest of her stuff back into her bag before fixing the wolf with a more serious look, ”I don’t suppose you might have remembered anything about being able to turn yourself into a human at all last night?” If nothing else, she’d just have to try to keep Zacian in her Pokeball while they were walking around in town and cities, emphasis on ‘try’ since apparently the wolf didn’t have any qualms with letting herself out as she pleased.
The wolf gave her an quizzical glance as if she was about to ask what she was on about, before her eyes glittered with recognition.”Ah, right… Well, I think I did manage to recollect a couple things after giving it some thought. It’s not much to really go off of, to be perfectly honest, much of my memory is still pretty muddied and I can only recall vague details most of the time... But I could certainly give it a try?”The rather uncertain answer didn’t exactly give Eveline much confidence either, but if they could get it to work somehow then it’d be better than nothing, right? Blowing out a breath, she shrugged as she turned back to her bag, grabbing a hairbrush and a small bottle of spray. ”Might az well, there’s some extra clothes waiting for you in zee bathroom to change into. They might be a bit small or big on you, though, just az a warning.” She hadn’t exactly picked out clothes with any exact measurements for the Zacian in mind, not that she could’ve anyways. It’d be a ******** miracle if they somehow managed to fit her perfectly, if she could pull off the whole human disguise thing at least…
The Zacian’s ears perked up at that, the wolf dipping her head gratefully before she padded her way over towards the aforementioned bathroom.”Thank you, I’ll try not to take too long, but this kind of thing can be a bit… iffy, especially since I’ve not done this for quite a long time.”Well, at this point Eveline was willing to take any chances, even if it might not exactly work out as intended or even really at all. ”Well if it works, it works. Just knock if you’re having any troubles, oui?” Closing the door behind the wolf as she squeezed herself past the slightly tight doorframe and into the bathroom once again, the woman preoccupied herself in the meantime with taming her wild Heat Miser bedhead and thinking over their plans for the day.】✧✧

✧✧【Well, obviously their first course of action was to head out to Turffield Town, where the very first gym of the Galar League was located. Beating it would be easy enough since it was a Grass gym, and she had at least two strong Fire types on her team that could hard counter Milo’s Pokemon and beat them down. The Water gym in Hulbury might prove to be a bit more challenging, though… Gin was the only Pokemon she had that would be able to match Nessa and her team. But she might not be able to rely on just him alone to be able to carry them through the battle, especially since Dynamaxing was a pretty common practice in the gyms around these parts, and unfortunately Grass or Electric type moves were among the types that she didn’t exactly have a wealth of at her disposal… Maybe she could try to improvise if nothing else, at least she should reasonably have enough strong Pokemon to be able to fall back on if Gin couldn’t take on the Hulbury gym himself. And as for the Fire gym here in Motostoke, that would be a different beast entirely since she had very few good matchups for the aside from Margarita and maybe Sin… Maybe she should probably keep an eye out for any other Pokemon they could potentially catch on the way that could be helpful even if it’d just be for the gyms themselves, though with how many she had already she wasn’t exactly in any rush to add yet more party members that she’d have to train up.
The sounds of shuffling and muffled grunts coming from inside the bathroom broke her out of her train of thoughts, followed by the sudden loud crash of something falling and hitting the ground that made her start in alarm. What in the hell was the damn wolf even doing in there? Eveline narrowed her eyes as she watched the bathroom door intently, waiting for a knock on the door or something to indicate that Zacian might need help. ”Are you alright?” she called out when nothing immediately followed, at least wanting to make sure nothing majorly bad had happened before contemplating kicking down the door, privacy be damned.”F-Fine! Just fine!”came the hasty response,”Apologies for that, I, uh… accidentally knocked off one of the racks, I think. I’ll fix it, promise!”Jeez, this wolf was really going to be the death of her at this rate…
”Just finish up with whatever and come out when you’re done, I’ll take care of zee mess,” Eveline said with a sigh, not wanting to risk the possibility of Zacian messing up even more things just trying to fix the one. Especially since she probably had no idea of how even half of the things in the bathroom even worked in the first place. Giving a grunt of affirmation, there were faint sounds of more shuffling and the rustling of fabric before she heard footsteps against the linoleum floor of the bathroom and the jiggling of the knob. It took Zacian a moment or two of fumbling around with it before she managed to turn it properly, and as the door swung open Eveline’s eyes widened at the sight that stood in the doorway before her. In place of the wolf, there now stood a tall woman with similarly dark colored purple hair in a short, bobbed cut that hung just below her cheeks, and blue-greyish colored eyes in place of her golden ones in her natural form. She was dressed in a deep purplish turtleneck sweater that looked… maybe just a bit loose on her, a pair of grey cropped pants, and black, flat-heeled Oxford boots to match, simple but stylish and casual enough to blend in perfectly with a crowd. Of course, even as a human the Zacian was still pretty much a giant, standing at about maybe six foot five, definitely far above average for a woman but she supposed not entirely unrealistic. She’d still stand out a fair bit just because of how tall she was, but at least it was leagues better than a giant wolf just walking around in full view of everyone.
”Well…? How do I look?”she asked, tilting her head curiously as she fiddled around with the sweater’s collar. Eveline blinked and quickly averted her gaze elsewhere so it wouldn’t look like she was staring, though she had to admit even in human form the Zacian actually was surprisingly pretty from what she could see. ”Ah, fine, you look fine. Fantastic even,” she managed to get out, turning her eyes back to the disguised wolf and chuckling under her breath as she practically lit up at the praise, ”I take it zee clothes fit comfortably enough for you?”
”They’re a bit big on me, I think, but they seem to work fine enough,”Zacian admitted, taking a bit to adjust the hem and sleeves of the sweater and pulling up the waist of the pants a little higher. ”Well, I wasn’t expecting them to fit you perfectly. But we can always look around for ones better suited for you later on,” the woman said with a shrug, ”Az long az they’re not too baggy and work well enough for you for now then it’s not that big of an issue.” However, before they can actually head out and maybe look for a place to grab some breakfast before hitting the road, she’d have to lay down a few ground rules. ”But before we leave, we should probably get a couple things straight. For starters, you’ll need a name. No offense at all, but I don’t think Zacian would really work too well as a ‘normal’ name if you’re going to be around other people, you know?” she said, furrowing her brows in thought as she tapped a finger against her chin. The disguised wolf hummed and nodded in agreement,”I suppose that’s fair when you put it like that. So what did you have in mind then?”
”Hmmm… How about Aura? It’s a pretty simple but nice sounding nickname, oui? Unless you had something else in mind?” Eveline suggested earnestly. Of course it probably wasn’t a very common name that was used nowadays, especially around Galar, but it was at least normal sounding enough to be able to reasonably pass off as human, right? The Zacian’s eyes immediately brightened as she seemed to take a liking to the suggestion, however, and that was enough of a signal that they wouldn’t have to dig through any other possible names. ”Heh, well alright. Aura it iz then,” she concluded with a chuckle, before adopting a more serious face, ”One more thing, though. While it’s just zee two of uz, and there’s absolutely no one else around, you may call me Eveline. But if we’re out in public or around other people just in general, you are to call me Lucia. Do you understand?” The newly named Aura tilted her head at the proposal, brows scrunched and confusion etched all over her face.”Lucia? Is… Is Eveline not actually your real name then? Or is this perhaps some sort of alias that you’re going by?”That seemed to make the most logical sense as to why her trainer seemed to be going by two different names for some reason, though the wolf was mostly curious as to why and what the possible reason for her trainer to have this sort of alter ego was exactly.
”Eveline iz my actual name, that iz zee absolute truth, I assure you. But… well, I’m going by Lucia az an alias for a reason,” the redhead explained, not exactly wanting to go too deep into the gory details of everything but hopefully it’ll be enough to get the point across, ”It’s a whole kind of complicated mess that I’d rather not get into right now. I promise I’ll explain it later, just… try to play along with it for now, please?” The wolf gazed at her with a contemplative glimmer in her blue eyes for a moment before slowly nodding in understanding, a small smile crossing her lips. She supposed it wasn’t really her place to ask about something that was most likely deeply personal for Eveline, especially since they’d only just met the other day.”I suppose you have your reasons for keeping your true identity hidden from others, and it’s hardly my place to question your decisions so long as they do not place others in harm’s way,”Aura reassured, placing a hand over her heart as she gave a small bow,”Regardless, my loyalty to you won’t change no matter what name you wish to go by, and for your sake I’ll certainly try to help you as best I can, Lucia.”
Eveline couldn’t help but smirk as she caught the knowing wink the Zacian shot her way as she spoke her secondary name, feeling glad that at least she could count on the legendary to not rat her out when it came down to it. ”Excellent,” she affirmed, grabbing her bag after tucking away the rest of her stuff and slinging it over her shoulders, ”In that case, let’s get going then. We have a lot of ground to try and cover today, and we won’t get anywhere fast just sitting around.”】✧✧

✧✧【After taking a minute to quickly clean up the mess Aura had left in the bathroom while she’d been changing, which had been the spring-loaded metal piece of the towel rack she had accidentally knocked off, making up her bed, and making sure nothing of hers was left lying around in the room, Eveline motioned for her new companion to follow along with her as they walked down the halls and onto the elevator to head down to the lobby. Of course, the clerk might be a bit suspicious to see them both together, but he might just think that two guests from different rooms were leaving around the same time and wouldn’t think too much of it. To her relief, the concierge, who just happened to be the same man from last night, seemed too preoccupied with attending to some other customers who were either checking in or returning their keys to really pay too much attention to them. It was easy enough for her to shoo Aura over to wait for her near the doors while she returned the key, the clerk simply giving her a nod in acknowledgment and a quick ‘have a good day, m’am’ as he accepted it and tucked it back in its place under the counter.
As she walked over to reconvene with Aura and head out, however, she noticed someone else standing over by the front doors. A man decked out in what looked like sports gear, complete with a baseball cap, dark colored sunglasses that completely covered his eyes, and a jacket plastered all over with all kinds of different logos. Upon spotting her, he waved with a huge grin on his face as he approached,”Heyo! You’re Lucia Cross, yeah? One of the newly registered trainers for the Galar gym league?”he asked, though he seemed to already know what the answer was as he held out an envelope to her,”Got a delivery addressed to you from the chairman himself for your hands only, must be pretty important for him to reach out to you personally!”Sure enough, there on the crisp white envelope was a stamp labeled clearly with the recognizable Macro Cosmos logo, and the name ‘Rose’ written across it in clean, elegant cursive handwriting to further confirm that it actually was from the chairman. Well, she had figured she might hear something back from them after the wishing stars had been delivered, but not quite so soon. Thanking the courier as he waved goodbye to her and went off on his way, Eveline tucked the envelope away into her coat pocket for later as she approached where Aura was waiting for her. The Zacian smiled and raised a hand in greeting, tilting her head curiously.”If you don’t mind me asking, who was that man and what did he want with you?”she asked, apparently having seen the whole exchange from where she'd been standing.
”Just a delivery man, he had something pretty important for me,” Eveline explained simply, a bit curious as to what was in the letter from Rose but figured taking a look at the actual contents could wait for now, ”Come on, let’s find somewhere to grab ourselves a quick breakfast before we hit zee road.” Curious as she was about what this ‘important thing’ that the man had given to her trainer was, the Zacian decided to forego asking further about it for now in lieu of the proposal of getting something to eat first as she was reminded of how hungry she was. Hopefully whatever it was they got for breakfast would be just as good as what they’d had last night!】✧✧

✧✧【At the very least leaving the city would be easy enough, good thing the hotel was already located on Motostoke’s upper tier since the road leading out to Turffield through the Galar Mine went out west from the city. Although most of the shops were apparently located down on the lower tier, it seemed there was still a fairly decent selection to browse through up here too, mostly small business boutiques, jewelry shops, and of course the ever present Poke Mart that could always be found in any city and most small towns. Eveline certainly hoped there was some kind of small coffee shop or even just a kiosk they could stop by as she eyed up the different establishments they walked by, occasionally having to stop and wait for Aura to catch up. The Zacian was preoccupied with soaking in the sights and smells of the city, eyeing the numerous smokestacks and moving machines with sheer fascination and childlike wonder.
”You know we’ll have to come back here anyways, zo there’ll be plenty more time for sightseeing then,” she said as the disguised wolf quickened her pace to fall back into step next to her for the fourth time, unable to help but chuckle a bit. Though she might’ve been otherwise annoyed at constantly having to slow her pace so her companion could catch up, she couldn’t help but find the Zacian’s boundless curiosity rather charming.”Aha… Apologies, there’s just so much to try and take in,”she said with a sheepish smile,”I’ll admit, as fascinating as all of this is, it’s pretty overwhelming…”So many questions buzzed around in the legendary’s head as she wanted to get to know more about what all of these new things were, wanted to really explore and poke around all of the different nooks and crannies to see what all this ‘Motostoke’ place had to offer. Shame they didn’t have the time for it since Eveline had other places in mind right now, but she supposed that they could spend a bit more time on city ventures since they’d be coming here again anyways.
”Oh believe me, there’ll be plenty more for us to see on our travels. You’ll have many more opportunities to feed your curiosity,” the woman assured with a grin, spotting a small coffee shop housed between a pair of boutiques. It was a simple but cozy looking little place with a huge window showing the interior of the shop with a small wooden bench parked right outside, and a black awning hanging above with the words ‘Tea Time Café’ in fancy stylized cursive alongside a picture of what seemed to be a chipped teacup with a face on it and liquid spilling out through the hole. ”Please wait out here, I shouldn’t be too long to grab our food if it’s not too busy,” Eveline instructed, motioning to the bench. It didn’t look like the place was too packed with customers though there were still a few patrons trickling in, seems they were lucky to have missed the big morning time rush.
”Certainly,”Aura agreed easily, happy to plop herself down on the bench and wait while Eveline stepped into the shop. The smell of fresh roasted coffee beans wafted out from inside as she opened the glass paneled door and caused the bell attached to jingle, the Zacian settling into her seat and leaning back against the hard back while she busied herself with watching the foot traffic, fascinated by the variety of fashion and even hair-styles that seemed to be popular with humans around here. The tunics and trousers they wore seemed to be made of much different material than the usual rough linens or wool, and even came in a variety of colors from bright to dark and even had intriguing looking designs and insignias inscribed on them. Even the ladies didn’t really seem to wear dresses much nowadays and dressed in very similar fashion as the men, perhaps that was what was considered normal here? Before she could think any more on it, the sound of the bell jingling again caught her ear as Eveline reemerged from the shop, carrying a pair of paper bags in one hand and a couple of tall cups tucked in the other arm to be able to carry them.
”Here, I got you a couple of breakfast sandwiches and a medium latte,” she said, handing over one of the steaming cups and a paper bag for the Zacian to take. The wolf could smell the rich, robust scent of coffee spilling out through the small slit in the lid of the cup mixed with something else… vanilla and cinnamon? Interesting flavors to include in coffee of all things, but there was no denying that it smelled quite lovely. The bottom of the paper bag was spotted dark in some places with grease, and upon opening it she was hit immediately with the mixed scents of cooked bacon and sausage. Mouth watering as the smell of meat whet her appetite, the Zacian wasted no time shoving her hand into the bag and seizing one of the ‘breakfast sandwiches’ to dig in immediately. It looked a lot like a burger, but this one appeared to contain slices of bacon atop an egg with melted cheese and in-between a sliced croissant in place of the beef and buns. Aura hardly even had time to get in her first bite of the delicious looking creation when Eveline was beckoning for her to follow, ”Come, we can eat on zee way to Turffield.” Humming in approval around a mouthful of sandwich, the Zacian quickly fell in to walk alongside her trainer as they continued along the brick road past the Pokemon Center and out onto the route heading towards the mine.】✧✧

There was a nervous look in the man's eye at this point. Ace was suggesting something he shouldn't know anything about. "Fine, sir." The male voiced clearing his throat a bit. "Give me a moment to collect your payment." Vanishing once more behind a doorway, Ace's gaze narrowed. The woman appeared nervous for an entirely different reason. Despite the human's concerns, Aquamarine and Pearl were getting well acquainted with Opal, the Galarian Ponyta. She appeared to have a bit of an attitude, responding to the two with a quick glare before she rested her gaze into one that suggested she wasn't amused.
A moment passed before the man returned holding a small bag filled with cash in neat bundles. "Are we going to have a problem... rather, am I going to be expecting someone coming for my throat in the near future?" Ace inquired as he brushed a stack of bills with his thumb. They all appeared the be real. "Or will I be the one sending someone for your throat in the near future?" Glancing upward, Ace deposited the stack of bills back into the bag. "No, Sir. There shouldn't be any issues." He replied, a 'salesman' grin. Not very convincing. With one last look of contempt, Ace turned on his heel and headed for the door. Right behind him Aquamarine and Pearl followed. Opal cocked her head for a moment before she trotted along behind her new master as well. "How annoying, This store needs a new owner." Ace grumbled. "The stone certainly reacted while we were in there, we'll have to return later however." He wasn't about to be hero and rescue all the Pokemon that man's family had acquired. But if a few managed to escape while he searched for the owner of the Megastone in his possession he wouldn't care. However, before thoughts of this operation could formulate in Ace's mind a sweetly familiar sound chirped from the inner pocket of his coat. Quickly shuffling the bag of money under his arm, he fished the source of the sound free and quickly answered it. "Greetings, Your Majesty." An unfamiliar sound of 'happiness' crossed Ace's tone, one that the three of Ace's Pokemon hadn't heard until just then. Whomever Ace was speaking to, was certainly important. A low, gruff sounding voice came across the speaker. The use of a Voice changing app was being used to make his voice distorted. Ace's expression shifted a few times while the man spoke before eventually the white-haried male straightened his back. "Understood. I shall head there swiftly." Without further correspondence, the call ended. "How bothersome, but it's an order from my King, so we shall be departing promptly." Turning his sharp glare down to his Pokemon. "We're getting on a train to Kalos. Apparently His Majesty has entrusted me with a far greater task than whatever this 'Gigamaxing' deal is here in Galar." Glancing towards the large building sitting up another level of the city Ace let out a sigh. "But first, I must find the owner to this stone." Yes, His Majesty certainly wouldn't mind if Ace took a small detour.

Resting at the Pokemon Center, Ace went over his newfound wealth. It wasn't much, mere pocket change for something he was used to having. "I wonder if I shouldn't ask for the full price of those pearls?" The male grumbled as he leaned back in his chair. Glancing to the side the Ponyta he'd acquired rested atop one of the beds, sleeping peacefully. The horse seemed quite, seemed she preferred keeping to herself. The other two had taken this chance to also get some shut eye, leaving the room silent save for the soft sounds of breathing. At least none of them had any annoying sleeping habits like snoring or talking in their sleep. Reaching up a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, Ace took in a deep breath. "Haa..." Turning his gaze then to the window his gaze darkened. "It's about time."
Securing everything in his bag, the male rose and approached the bed where his Pokemon slept. "Wake up!" He voiced firmly, nudging the bed with his knee at the same time. The three of them opened their eyes, each reacting to the wake-up call in a slightly different manner than the others. The Ponyta showed reluctance at first, lowering her head back down onto the bed. Opal and Pearl slipped off the bed, almost as if instinct told them Ace wasn't the type of human to test like that. "Hmm? Is someone tired?" Ace inquired, leaning forward, he reached a hand across to the Ponyta and snatched up a thick tuft of her mane, yanking it upward. Straightening his back he now stood with the Ponyta's front end lifted off the bed. She narrowed her eyes and sent a deadly glare at Ace. "You disobey, but even in this situation you don't attack your master? You are a confusing one are you not?" Reaching a hand to cup the bottom jaw of the Ponyta Ace leaned in his sharp gaze piercing into hers it might of felt like he was looking into her very soul. "This disobedience will not be tolerated when the orders come from me. You're quite lucky to have me as a master after all, I could find someone who loves the sight of tortured souls quite easily." A devilish grin danced across Ace's lips as he released the horse roughly. "Now do as I say. Wake. Up."
Tossing a look to Aquamarine and Opal, the two offered no help, only a look that suggested she does not test their master any more. With a disgruntled look, the pony rose to her hooves and quickly leaped from the bed. Moving around to the doorway, she sarcastically bowed her head. "You'll come to understand my words in due time." Ace added as he pushed past the Ponyta and opened the door. "Lets make this quick."
Slipping out of the Pokemon Center, Ace lead the trio behind him through the city. The made their way to an alleyway behind the various stores that lined the Main Street. Matching the back entrance to the proper store wasn't going to be the easiest thing to do, luckily Ace had some pretty convenient timing, as the man from earlier was slipping out of the doorway alone. 'How perfect.' Likely to perfect, but Ace was on a time crunch. Slipping in a swiftly as a ghost Pokemon Ace wrapped an arm around the male's shoulders, while holding up a knife to his neck. "Take me to where you 'come into' Pokemon." Ace voiced. The man froze up at first, obviously fighting the urge to turn his gaze towards his attacker, even if the man came to the sudden realization of just who had him in this position. "I-i thought there wouldn't be any problems, sir? Was the Ponyta not to your liking?" he stuttered. "On the contrary, she's quite satisfying. A bit of an attitude problem I'll have to fix, but she's made me interested in what else you may have." Ace replied. "Now take me to them." "S-sure thing, s-sire." Fumbling for the door handle, the man quickly swung it open and slowly lead Ace with him into the store's back room. From a room hidden to the side, a bookshelf moved to reveal a hidden stair well. Precariously advancing down the stairs the men eventually came to another doorway. Fumbling for some keys, the man eventually found the right one and opened the door. Several dozen cages lined the walls, each with a different Pokemon inside them. Some were far more exotic, being from regions far away and no where seen in Galar. Of course there were a few from Galar themselves, which Ace didn't really recognize either. "I-is, there anything you wanted in particular?" The man stuttered. Glancing around, there wasn't anything in particular that caught his attention at first until his gaze rested on a Deino. The small creature, despite it's hair covering it's eyes, seemed to follow Ace as he walked by it. "This one..." Ace motioned with his free hand, tightening his grip around the man's shoulder with his knife holding arm. "A D-deino? A fine choice. We... acquired that one from a dragon den. Seems about less than a year old, so it wont be very strong." "Dragons are the most powerful Pokemon in this world, if raised proper. Give me that one." Pushing the man forward, he stummbled a bit before eventually falling to his face. He scrammbled to his feet, turning towards ace. "Don't think just because I released you I can't kill you." Ace threatened.
The man swallowed a lump that was forming in his throat. He could choose to attack, but Ace's demeanor told the coward he wouldn't last long. He wasn't cut out for combat. He'd warned the others that this sort of thing might happen, but no, they didn't want to listen to him. Thankfully though, the man who'd just threatened his life only appeared interested in a baby Deino. Fumbling with a new selection of keys he found the one for the Deino cage, but then his gaze caught sight of an orb in Ace's hand. The shine was... brilliant. A Megastone no doubt about it. The man may not know much about physical combat, but he knew thing or two about gems and jewels, and that was a bona fide Megastone. But of what pokemon? "It can't be..." Ace turned his gaze back towards the man, a sheer look of greed crossing his once terrified gaze. "You know exactly who this belongs to. Take me to it." Ace voiced. The man looked distraught at first, but then offered a few nods. "S-sure thing, sir." After releasing the Deino, the male lead Ace towards an even heavier fortified doorway. This one was set up with several electronic locks. Retna scan, Palm scan. "Thing is sir, I don't have clearance to get into this back room."
What was behind this room, so heavily guarded, was indeed what he'd come for. "No doubt there will be alarms and all your goons will be flooding here to find me, but I'll be long gone before they arrive. Opal, Take Down." Gazing down to the Deino who'd stopped beside Ace's leg the male pointed towards the door. "You... Obsidian, Dragon Breath." The Deino glanced upward, as if trying to comprehend this command. However, it didn't take long before it stepped forward and launched it's attack. Opal, immune to the dragon's attack launched forward towards the heated doorway, slamming her entire body against the door. It dented it slightly, but hurt in recoil. "Continue." Ace commanded in a monotone. Wincing from the pain, Opal continued, as did the newly dubbed Obsidian. After the fourth Take Down the door finally snapped off it's hinges. As expected a loud alarm blared. Now he really was on a time crunch.

Two things Ace wasn't expecting upon passing his way through the doorway were placed before him. First of all a swarm of frenzied sprite-like Pokemon known as Gossifleur weaved around the room. None of them seemed to notice Ace right away because they were in such a panic, but as the white-haired male advanced towards the back of the room in his quickened pace, one of them flew into Ace's shoulder suddenly. The male brushed it away not really interested in the tiny Pokemon. "This is what they were hiding here?" He instead inquired as he found a single briefcase sitting on a table at the back of the room. Reaching down to take the case, the male was met with a swarm of the Gossifleur in his face, pushing him back at first. "Erk, get out of my way! Annoying pests!" He voiced, raising a hand he swatted a few away, but the others continued to push him away. "Is this what you use as guards!?" He grumbled. "Pearl deal with these!"
Hurt, and hardly able to even stand on all fours, Pearl gazed up at her master panting. He was yet again demanding her to be useful to him. How much she regretted at this point getting involved with this human, but nonetheless something loud told her she should attempt to obey. The Gossifleur weren't only pestering Ace anyway, they were also bothering her, as well as Ace's other Pokemon and even the man who Ace had dragged down into the basement. Unable to move, the Sylveon felt an overwhelming urge to simply cry out, and so she did. but it wasn't a normal cry it was loud and almost eardrum piercing. Had she somehow learned a new move? Whatever the case, the sound knocked most of the Gossifleur away, giving the Sylveon enough room to push forward using Covet on one of the floating grass-types. It knocked it out, but also the movement finally put Pearl over the edge and the poor Sylveon collapsed. Aquamarine rushed over, pushing his way to Pearl's side to protect her as best he could. If anything he could take any incoming attacks for her.
However, this wasn't necessary as Ace had taken the opportunity to grab the briefcase after Pearl's sudden Hyper Voice distracted the Gossifleur. With Obsidian's jaw power he broke open the case and found a ball hidden inside. A simple Pokeball, though the design was one he'd never seen before. Releasing what was inside, the whole room went still. A brilliant light sparkled as the mysterious captive revealed itself. "As expected." Ace grinned. The Diancie before him, looked almost doll-like, as her gaze rested upon the male before her. She seemed just as taken aback by Ace's beauty as he was with hers. "A diamond hidden in such a place as this? No, you'll be coming with me." He voiced. Returning the Diancie to her ball, he turned with a sharp twist. Finding Aquamarine covering a fainted Pearl, the man found Pearl's ball and returned her. "You've done enough for now." He stated, his tone almost suggesting he was satisfied by the Syvleon's efforts. "Now let's get out of here before any more obstacles get in our way."

Reaching the top of the staircase, Ace pushed through the doorway to make his escape into an alleyway. From up here, the alarm seemed oddly quiet, and as soon as the door shut behind him it was silent. Save for the sounds of the city as the nightlife bustled in the street nearby. This silence was broken however when a group of men appeared at one end of the alleyway. "Grab him!" Ace heard one shout. "Don't let that b*****d get away or it'll be our heads!" The same man shouted. From the group all the men rushed forward, the one who shouted being last. "Huh, you're to late. I've have what I came for and now I must get moving." Ace replied with a smug look in his gaze. Stepping away from the doorway, the white-haired male made for a quick escape at the other end of the alleyway.
While Ace wasn't really one to care for physical activities like running, as he hated being dirty with sweat when a shower wasn't nearby to clean him, like when he worked out. However, he had little choice at the time being, given he wasn't to keen on getting into a fight with the men chasing him. Pokemon involved or not. His quick strides kept him ahead of the men by a good distance, and as he reached the train station he quickly paid for his ticket and dashed for the train. Seeing it just about to shut it's doors. "Yer jus' in time!" Shouted a man who ushered Ace aboard. "Oi! Don't let that guy go!" The man who ushered Ace aboard was already two steps into the train himself and shutting the door. He seemed confused by the shouting men. "Dont mind them." Ace sighed. "Lost a game of poker and they're mighty sore about it." The male grinned. The man replied with a hearty chuckle. "That so! Ah, ahm a fan o' the cards meself. To bad the wife'd kill me if she found out I was playing with'em." He responded. "Anyhoot, find yer'self a seat and rest it'll be a long ride wherever it is yer goin'"

☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【The short train ride back to Motostoke was mostly uneventful, Eveline sighed as she took a bit of time to just relax before they’d have to throw themselves back into the thick of training once again. Lambrusco busied himself with looking over a brochure for the Galar region, while Aura seemed content with enjoying the sights outside of the window as the distant scenery rolled by. In the meantime, though, Eveline focused her thoughts on how exactly they would go about taking on the Motostoke gym. Their last strategy for Nessa hadn’t exactly gone to plan as she’d hoped, then again they hadn’t exactly counted on the use of those tricky trapping moves either that made things that much more difficult for them. Gin definitely would’ve downed that Arrokuda and possibly might’ve dealt some damage to Drednaw too had that flinch not thrown him off and allowed the residual damage from his self-inflicted burn and Whirlpool to take its toll earlier than anticipated. She could only hope they wouldn’t run into that exact scenario again in the Motostoke gym, she didn’t exactly have a lot of strong counters against Kabu’s Fire-types outside of Rita so bringing backup for this fight would be a bit harder… Well, Ouzo being a Normal type would at least be able to soak up a fair bit of damage, and it would be able to hit back pretty hard with the moves it currently knew. Well if all else failed, maybe she could briefly step out to catch a strong Rock type Pokemon on the city outskirts if she really needed it.
Eveline barely noticed the train coming to a stop as it rolled into the Motostoke station, clearly lost in thought until she felt a gentle hand shaking her shoulder.”Lucia…? I believe we have arrived,”Aura’s voice cut through, snapping her out of her daze as she blinked for a moment. ”Ah yes, right,” she murmured, gathering up her things and moving to tail behind the Zacian and Lam as they exited the train and walked out of the station. The city was as busy and bustling as ever, the clicks and clacks of the various moving machine parts scattered about the place just barely drowning out the buzz of conversation all around. ”I suppose we shouldn’t have to look too hard for any trainers around here, especially around zee gym,” Eveline remarked, taking a couple moments to stretch before pulling out Ouzo and Rita’s Pokeballs and releasing them. The Drizzile yawned as she was let out, blinking and rubbing at her eye with a green mitten-shaped hand before eyeing Eveline curiously, wondering what she was being called out for this time. ”Seems you two will be our best choices for the upcoming gym, so how about we get you up to par,?” the redhead suggested, pulling out the Rare Candies she’d gotten from the restaurant and offering them to the pair, ”Share these among yourselves however you like, just don’t fight over them, okay?”
Rita perked up at the offering of the candies, but hesitated to take any as she nervously eyed the much bigger looking beast beside her. If the Type: Null wanted to take the majority, she supposed she would be fine with it… She didn’t want to have to fight her teammate over something so menial, especially with how strong the big chimera looked. Ouzo’s sharp grey gaze drifted over to the little water lizard, making her flinch at the intensity of its stare and quickly avert her eyes as if just making eye contact with the beast might set it off. The Type: Null gave the Drizzile a brief once over, giving a short huff as it seemed to deem her not dangerous.”A-Ah…”Rita dithered, summoning up a bit of courage as she lifted her head, not quite meeting Ouzo’s eyes as she gestured towards the candies,”W-Would you mind if I… um… p-picked first?”
The Type: Null hadn’t tried to make a grab for the candies yet… Then again, that weird mask thing on its head probably made eating on its own a bit difficult, or maybe it just didn’t care if it got the majority of the treats or not? It was hard to really tell what was on the chimera’s mind, though it gave a low grunt and dipped its head slightly in response. Seeming to take that as a sign of approval, Rita reached out and grabbed three of the candies for herself, leaving the remaining two for Ouzo to eat.”Is th-this fine…?”The beast’s sharp gaze seemed to burn into her as it watched on wordlessly, yet if it had any objections against her taking the larger share it didn’t say anything aloud. But it didn’t seem to mind that much as it stepped forward and lightly brushed past Rita towards their trainer, allowing Eveline to pull open the jawpiece of its mask to feed it the pair of unwrapped candies while the Drizzile quietly and nervously ate her own.
Swallowing the fruity tasting candy, Ouzo licked its lips behind its mask as it felt a sudden surge of strength within its core. And with it… the Type: Null’s grey eyes seemed to cloud over momentarily before brightening, a sense of clarity coming over it as it stared at the nearby brick wall close to the station. Giving a low growl, the chimera padded its way over towards the wall, and without warning began bashing its head against the solid surface with an almost feral gusto. ”Ouzo?!” Eveline exclaimed, momentarily shocked at the scene unfolding before them as everyone else seemed equally as confused and flabbergasted. Without thinking, the redhead’s feet began moving as she ran to the seemingly crazed Type: Null as the sound of metal and plastic hammering against brick resounded through the area. ”Ouzo, enough! What zee hell’s gotten into you?” she called, grabbing for the chimera’s ball to try to return it before it ended up severely hurting itself. However, after a moment the noise stopped before she could pull the ball off her belt, the Type: Null backing away from the wall. The mask it wore was now severely cracked and dented in several places, seeming to have just barely held up against the onslaught of headbutting and thrashing. It was definitely sturdy, but clearly not entirely indestructible given how large of a dent Gin had left in it after their battle.
To her surprise pieces of the now obliterated mask began falling off as Ouzo turned to face her, clattering onto the stone below as more silvery white fur became visible along its neck where the mask would’ve normally covered it. With a snarl, the Type: Null harshly swung its head downwards, sending the remnants crashing into the ground below as it rid itself of the very thing handicapping it completely. Eveline’s eyes widened as she looked on in wonder at the beast that now stood before her, without the mask covering it anymore she could make out a face that seemed to be equal parts mammalian creature and machinery. The (former) Type: Null now bore a blunt metallic snout that covered its nose and upper jaw, the axe-like protrusion atop its head extending out into a feathery crest that flashed briefly with bright white energy. A pair of circular metallic parts sat along its cheeks behind its sharp silver eyes, each displaying what looked like a white circle cut through with a metallic line. What exactly those were for was beyond her, but… from the looks of it, it seemed Ouzo had finally evolved. If it could be called evolution, that is… ”Well, aren’t you quite ze handsome looking fellow,” she remarked with a grin, carefully reaching out to rest a hand on its head if it would allow her to. The scientists had put those masks on these prototype Pokemon for a reason, after all, something about them being completely uncontrollable without the helmets to limit their power from what the Aether scientist had mentioned. To her relief, however, Ouzo didn’t seem to show any signs of possible aggression as it allowed her to touch it, leaning in ever so slightly as she stroked its smooth, sleek silver fur and scratched behind its ear.
”Seems your close bond with it allowed it to finally ‘evolve’ in a sense,”Lambrusco chipped in, the Delphox keeping his distance alongside Aura and Rita so they wouldn’t crowd the newly evolved Pokemon,”Apparently a strong bond with a trainer it trusts is what allows it to unleash its full potential and change into this new form. Silvally, I believe it’s called.”Silvally… Quite an interesting yet fitting name for such a creature, though aside from the loss of the mask it hardly seemed to have changed much during its ‘evolution’.”What a fascinating creature… What exactly is the purpose of a Pokemon like this?”Aura asked curiously, wondering why humans would want to make such a creature in the first place. Maybe it was meant to be a guardian of some sort, Goletts and Golurks had been made for that sort of purpose as well as being laborers if she recalled right.
”Well, it was originally created as a means of combating against certain… ‘foreign invaders’ that have had a history of appearing in our world from time to time,”Lam offered helpfully, though he tried to make it a bit easier for her to grasp upon realizing that Aura likely had no idea of what Ultra Beasts were,”If I remember right, Silvally was made to bear some resemblance to the legendary Pokemon Arceus. And I think with using certain items, much like Arceus it’s also able to change its own typing depending on the kind of item it holds…”Eveline’s eyes lit up at the mention of Arceus, the legendary Pokemon that was supposedly revered as some kind of high deity in regions like Sinnoh and Ransei that had created the universe. By using plates that represented each Pokemon type, Arceus was able to change its own typing as well depending on which plate it held. Somehow she doubted plates was what would allow Silvally to do the same, assuming that Lambrusco’s explanation was indeed correct… But what those particular items were and where they might find such things was a different conundrum entirely, one that they could try to figure out later on since they had more important things to focus on right now. ”We can focus on that some other time. In zee meantime, however,” Eveline commented, a sly grin crossing her face as she rubbed the Silvally’s ear, ”How about we take this new form of yours out for a ‘test drive’?” Or, in other words, give Ouzo a chance to battle and wreck any unfortunate bastards who happen to be in the way as they head for the stadium.】✧✧

✧✧【To Eveline’s mild surprise and intrigue, Ouzo seemed to have grown a fair bit stronger with its newly ‘evolved’ form as it near single-handedly wrecked each and every trainer they came across looking for a challenge. Of course their opponents weren’t anywhere near as strong as the Silvally, but needless to say the redhead was quite impressed at the experimental Pokemon’s strength and efficiency. But to avoid the chimera from growing too strong to the point of being disobedient before they had the chance to even have a go at Kabu, she sent out Chardonnay to fight against the last trainer. The breeder and his Pokemon, to his merit, were a bit on the tougher side as the Ankhat had to use fake out tactics to weaken his Lillipup before taking it out with a Signal Beam and his Tauros managed to get in a strong hit before it also went down.
”Not bad, you certainly have some decent Pokemon,” Eveline commended, glad to acknowledge a bit of a good challenge as she healed Chardonnay up fully before returning her. Terrence heaved a sigh as he reluctantly recalled his fainted Tauros, giving it a bit of praise for the good work it had done.”Ah, thanks! We’re tryin’ to gear up to get to Turffield to battle Milo, though we’ve still got a ways to go from the looks of it,”he admitted, adjusting his cap sheepishly,”Though I should’ve expected you’d be pretty strong, since you’re a gym challenger too.”Another gym challenger, huh? The redhead wondered briefly just how many people around here were taking on the Galar league as well, and how many were actually Galar natives since Milo had briefly mentioned how it wasn’t often they get foreigners participating in the challenge. It sounded like an extremely competitive sort of event, as most league challenges tended to be with plenty of rivalries forming among participants, but she hadn’t exactly run into any other challengers along the way yet. Sort of disappointing, but she supposed she shouldn’t get too attached to this place since they likely wouldn’t be sticking around long-term.
”Heh, well we’re preparing to try our hand against Kabu, and compared to him I’m sure zee Turffield gym will look like a cakewalk.” The breeder’s eyes went wide at the mention of the Motostoke gym leader, seems he’d expected her to be strong but not exactly by that much.”Whoa, no way! You beat Milo and Nessa already?! Man, I’ve got some serious catchin’ up to do, kinda been slackin’ on trainin’ lately n’ spendin’ more time playing with my Pokemon instead,”he remarked with a chuckle,”Not that that’s a bad thing, of course! Still, maybe it’s time we get our heads back in the game. Good thing the closest Pokemon Center’s just on the way out, eh?”Eveline hummed and nodded in agreement, smiling and bidding Terrence farewell as he sped off to get his Pokemon healed up and wondering briefly if they might run into each other again later down the line.
”Making some new friends already, I see,”Lambrusco teased lightly as they continued on their way, the Motostoke Stadium gradually looming closer and closer in the distance with every step. Eveline rolled her eyes, about to retort back when the pitter patter of rapid footsteps and the flutter of a long coat caught her attention just in time as a man coming out of the Budew Drop Inn seemingly in a hurry nearly bumped into her on his way out as she managed to stagger out of the way and barely avoided falling flat on her a**. Grumbling under his breath for her to ‘move the hell aside’, he brushed past without so much as an acknowledging glance her way and roared off down the street as his brisk pace never once let up in spite of the near-collision. ”Hmph, wonder who pissed in his cereal,” she murmured as Ouzo growled and glared in the direction the rude stranger had gone off, the woman straightening and dusting herself off to regain her composure as Aura quickly ran over to attend to her.”Are you alright, m'lady?”she asked, her eyes bright with slight worry as she gave her trainer a quick once over.
”I’m fine, thank you. A bit frazzled, but it’s hardly a big deal,” Eveline nodded gratefully to the Zacian, more than happy to just brush past it and get a move on to the gym. It was hardly the first time she’d had to deal with assholes, she wasn’t going to waste any more time or energy as much as she would’ve liked to tell that guy off for being rude when he was the one who almost barreled right into her.”Hold on… It looks like he may have dropped something,”Lam spoke up, bending over to retrieve a pair of what looked like… discs of some sort off the ground and handing them over to her. Eveline quirked a brow as she eyed the CD looking items, one colored a light brown and the other a bright pink. Strange looking things, but maybe they could be useful once they figure out for sure what their purpose was… ”Hm… Well, I suppose we could take these along, even if he did happen to drop them I doubt he’ll come back around looking for them anytime soon.”
Aura, however, frowned as she shook her head.”Maybe we could give them back to the man if we happen to come across him again? It does not seem right to simply take things that do not belong to us,”she suggested, a look of uncertainty on her face as she glanced over to her trainer. Stealing was a crime, after all, even if it had been an accident that the items had been dropped and left behind. It certainly didn’t sit right with the noble fairy knight’s heart to just take them and go along their way, but… If Eveline was adamant on staking claim to them then the Zacian supposed she would allow it, though she wouldn’t like it one bit. ”Perhaps, but what are the chances of that? For all we know he’s probably already long-gone to Arceus knows where with how much of a hurry he waz in, in fact he probably might not even notice or care that he dropped a couple things,” Eveline remarked, moving to put the discs away into her bag for safe-keeping. Aura’s frown deepened a touch further, but she made no further comment or even attempted to stop her trainer from pocketing the items. It absolutely wasn’t the answer she’d hoped for, but for the sake of not wasting time with petty arguments she’d just let bygones be bygones. She just hoped they wouldn’t make this a regular occurrence, even if stealing was a minor offense at best it was absolutely not something to make a habit out of or else they could really get into trouble…
However, before Eveline could store the discs away Ouzo padded up next to her, metallic snout prodding and sniffing at them curiously. ”Hm? What is it, boy?” she asked, wondering if maybe the Silvally had an idea of what these things were or if they might be important somehow. Then, with a knowing glint in its sharp silver eyes, Ouzo craned its head closer to her, one of the circular metallic devices on its cheeks suddenly popping open with a soft click and a hiss to reveal a thin slot on the inside of it. It seemed to be a disc drive of some sort, the slot appeared to be wide and lengthy enough to allow a disc to be able to fit inside. ”Hm…” Eyes narrowing in contemplation and curiosity, Eveline picked out one of the CD-roms, the brown colored one to be exact, and carefully slotted it into the odd device on the Silvally’s head. With another whir and a faint click the circular protrusion closed back up, Ouzo giving a low growl as the white parts of the disc drive began to glow and turn brown like the disc that had been inserted, the Silvally’s scleras, finned tail, and feather-like crest atop its head took on the same color as well as they glowed faintly with energy. Eveline watched the process with fascination, not entirely certain of what that had done until Lambrusco, helpful as always, chipped in.
”Seems those discs we found are what Silvally’s RKS System needs to be able to change its typing,”the Delphox explained, tilting his head thoughtfully,”I would assume that like with the plates that Arceus uses, each colored disc corresponds to what type Silvally changes to when inserted. The one you put in specifically made Ouzo a Rock type, and the other one is likely for Fairy type.”Rock type, huh? Well that certainly saved them the trouble of having to go out to the city outskirts to hunt down another Pokemon just so they’d have a good backup for the Motostoke Gym, between Rita and Ouzo they should be decently equipped for the challenge. ”Heh, well it seems we found these just in zee nick of time then,” Eveline quipped with a smirk, reaching up to scratch behind the Silvally’s ears as she tucked the Fairy Memory into her bag for later, ”How’d you like to test your abilities in a much tougher challenge, hm?”】✧✧

Event(s): Zinfandel was given the Choice Band to hold! Eveline used HM to teach Margarita Surf!
☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【Ouzo gave a throaty snarl and flared its brown colored feathers, clearly eager for a real challenge beyond simply fighting against wild Pokemon and trainers. ”That’s zee spirit~” she admonished with a grin as she took the Choice Band from around its neck since Ouzo wouldn’t be needing it for now. Making a few last minute preparations, she quickly called out Zinfandel and slipped the Choice Band onto her, the Corvisquire being a more physical kind of fighter would certainly be able to make good use of the power boost. Returning the bird for now since she wouldn’t be participating in this gym, Eveline beckoned Rita to come over, the Drizzile having been quietly and meekly sitting on the sidelines. ”Here, mon cheri, you’ll definitely need this for what we’ll be going up against in there,” she said, pressing the newly acquired HM they’d won from Nessa to the little lizard’s head. Rita’s eyes went wide at the sudden surge of strength that went through her, and with it felt a bit more confident at taking on the challenge that awaited them.
”Now then, are you two ready?” Eveline asked, looking between Rita and Ouzo as she tucked away everything else, ”You’ll be our main counters against the Fire types in there, zo a lot of this battle will be riding on zee both of you, oui?” They had prepared as well as they could for this, the redhead hoped that Kabu wouldn’t give them as much of a rough time as Nessa had but she was prepared for the possible worst. The Silvally gave a low huff and a dip of its head in approval, Rita’s confidence fell a bit knowing that she would be somewhat responsible for if they’d win or lose, but at least she wouldn’t be doing this alone. Even if she didn’t know Ouzo all that well it was clear the Silvally was plenty strong from what she’d seen in his battles so far, between the two of them there was hope that they’d be able to come out on top. With a nervous nod, Margarita fell in line alongside Ouzo, Aura, Lam, and their trainer as they entered the Motostoke Stadium. With the city being a much larger place than Turffield or Hulbury, the much larger crowds of people present in the main lobby area was to be expected. And of course there was the ever present Pokeball headed mascot apparently known as ‘Ball Guy’, cheerfully dancing and singing in a slightly off tune key as he passed out more special Pokeballs to interested attendees.
Eveline kept a hand on Ouzo’s neck, guiding the Silvally through while making sure to keep it from snapping at any passersby or curious children. Many of the attendees pointed and cheered when they recognized the redheaded trainer who’d apparently been making quite a splash in the Galar League scene, though some recoiled when the big chimera Pokemon at her side shot a sharp glare their way. ”Easy boy,” she said in a soothing yet firm voice, squeezing the nape of the Silvally’s neck to keep him focused on the path ahead and not on the many strangers around him. Margarita, on the other hand, was a bit anxious at so many strangers trying to reach out and pet her. Feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to walk by herself with the others, the Drizzile quickly clambered up to rest on the shoulder of the tall Zacian so she could be a bit more comfortable. Ah, maybe she should’ve asked permission first since she also didn’t know Aura all that well either, but the disguised wolf hardly seemed to mind as she gave a kind smile.”Greetings, little friend~ You are more than welcome to stay as long as you like,”Aura reassured, reaching up to gently pet the little water lizard on the head. While Rita wouldn’t have been quite as comfortable with letting a stranger pet her like that, something about Aura made her feel… oddly safe and more at ease as she closed her eyes and leaned into the wolf’s gentle touch. The Zacian, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel delighted at possibly being able to make another friend after the less-than-stellar first impressions with Ouzo.
A quick change into her gym uniform later, Eveline was ready and raring to go as they walked down through the tunnel leading into the stadium with her Pokemon by her side. Taking a deep breath as she prepared to step out onto the turf, the redhead blinked when she saw the man that was suddenly standing next to her. Had he just… appeared and she hadn’t noticed? He stood about a head taller and was certainly much older, judging by the salt and pepper colors of his short hair and the wrinkles starting to form on his face. He was dressed in a red, black, and white colored gym uniform decorated all over with flame-like patterns, towel draped around his neck as if he’d just gotten back from a run. The man turned to look at her, flashed a smile and beckoned her to follow, and started jogging out onto the red colored turf. With a nod, Eveline motioned for Ouzo and Rita to follow, the Drizzile reluctantly jumping down from the Zacian’s shoulders to accompany her trainer as Lambrusco and Aura stayed behind to watch the battle. The man, Kabu, now stood in the center of the field, arms crossed behind his back as he waited patiently for them, the roar of the crowd almost deafening in her ears as Eveline stepped up to meet him.
”Welcome to the Motostoke Gym, the first major hurdle of the Galar Gym League challenge! I am Kabu, and as I’m sure you know I specialize in Fire types,”he boomed, a smile on his face even as his dark eyes steadily and carefully evaluated each of the redhead’s Pokemon,”You’ve certainly done well to make it this far. Both you and your Pokemon have a lot of potential, as I have watched your matches against both Milo and Nessa.”Turning to take their positions across from each other on the battlefield, the old man wasted no time grabbing a Pokeball off his belt and sending forth his first Pokemon. A Ninetales leapt from the ball and onto the field, long tails flared out in a menacing display and red eyes shining bright with determination as it stared Eveline and her Pokemon down.”But let us see how you and your Pokemon can handle pushing that potential to its limits! Ninetales, get ready!”
Eveline nodded towards Rita, the Drizzile nervously waddling forward to take her position on the field as she tried to put on her best ‘game face’ and not let their opponent’s strength and display intimidate her too much. This was it… This would be perhaps their first major challenge in the gym league. No witty quips or cutting one-liners, it was time for them to get serious now. With a commanding shout from Kabu, the Ninetales surged forth with a graceful kind of pouncing maneuver, using its clear speed advantage to get in a strong blow to start off what would likely be a grueling battle that lay ahead for them.】✧✧

Hope I did this well enough. I kinda left out the remaining HP values after the Dynamax rounds ended because I wasn't entirely sure how to calculate Centiskorch's HP since it was an uneven number. Though I doubt it really mattered since Rock type Multi-Attack just completely wrecks Centiskorch anyways.
Also I'd point out that while the guild rules say RKS System is disabled while Dynamaxed, it's not listed that way in Bulbapedia since Multi-Attack still uses the type from Silvally's held Memory to determine the Max Move it turns into in the games. Arceus's Multitype ability apparently isn't disabled by Dynamaxing (even though Arceus hasn't been canonically implemented in Sword/Shield), so I don't see why Silvally's RKS System would be disabled when it's pretty much the same ability.

✧✧【In the end, the battle against Kabu almost felt a bit… underwhelming compared to what they’d faced with Nessa. The Ninetales started the fight off by blasting Rita with an Ember attack, not exactly a good way to start using a Fire type move against a Water type but she was willing to just roll with it. At least it made the first fight easier as the Drizzile smacked it with a big wave of water that did a good number on it, though Eveline frowned as the Ninetales gave a last parting shot by sending a burst of sinister flames that left Rita with searing burns before another Surf finally knocked it out of commission. Alright… Not exactly the best kind of situation, but at least just the burn was better than dealing with that on top of residual damage from a trapping move and not being able to switch out. Rita should be alright to fight at least one more of Kabu’s Pokemon before Ouzo could step in to take care of the final one, but if things started to take a turn for the worst Eveline wasn’t going to take any chances.
The Arcanine she had feared would’ve been a tough opponent, but it strangely didn’t attack at all during all of the two turns it was out on the field before it was also taken down by Rita’s Surf. Instead it seemed more focused on increasing its speed for some reason… bit of an odd tactic, but maybe Kabu was just spending turns to let the burn weaken her Pokemon that much more so he could knock the Drizzile out with his final one. Not that Eveline would’ve let him have the chance regardless. ”Return, Rita,” she called out, much to the Drizzile’s relief as she quickly scuttled off the field to rejoin her trainer, wincing as the residual flames from Will-o-Wisp painfully licked at her scales, ”Ouzo, it’s time.” The Silvally letting out a challenging snarl, feathers glowing brightly with excited energy as he stepped forward to face their final opponent as it was sent out onto the field: Kabu’s Centiskorch.
Already having gotten a gist of the pattern with these gym leaders, Eveline knew for certain that this one would be Kabu’s Dynamax Pokemon of choice since it was typical for them to save their strongest for last. And sure enough, she watched as the Centiskorch expanded to titanic size, its body growing longer as well the number of segments and legs increased nearly tenfold. The underside of its body glowed bright yellow with intense heat that she swore she could feel even from all the way across the field, the fiery tendrils adorning its head growing larger and longer and forming an X-like shape. A near deafening chittering cry echoed over the field, the roars of the crowd bellowing out in answer as they swelled to a fever pitch. Wasting no time, Eveline followed suit, the Silvally feeling a surge of incredible power rush through its body as it too grew to colossal proportions, even towering somewhat over the Gigantamaxed Centiskorch as it seemed to be longer than it was tall. Ouzo unleashed a grand, thunderous roar in response as it faced down its opponent, sharp silver eyes meeting the fiery centipede’s blazing red gaze in a wordless challenge. Almost immediately the Centiskorch wasted no time as bright red energy flowed out from its body, forming some kind of barrier just as the Silvally gave an abrupt sweep of its head downwards and sent forth a raging torrent of howling wind that slammed into the shield and left its foe otherwise unharmed.
Seemed Kabu was choosing to play a bit smarter and go on the defensive as they repeated the same song and dance for another round, the Centiskorch protecting itself yet again while Ouzo continued to send attack after attack at it in hopes of landing a hit. Until finally, the giant centipede decided to attack for once, sending motes of green energy shaped like butterflies that coalesced into a huge explosion as they struck Ouzo, weakening him somewhat. Yet he still went strong as he fired off another blast of fierce whirling winds that struck the Centiskorch back much harder in return, feeling a touch lighter and more nimble as a residual breeze briefly swirled around his form after the attack successfully connected before dissipating. It was then that Eveline noted that Dynamaxing seemed to have a limit as well, as both Centiskorch and Ouzo shrunk back down to their original sizes after that last turn passed. ”Interesting… It would definitely good to make note of that for future reference, could come in handy.” Making a quick mental note, the redhead made to call out for Ouzo to quickly finish their foe off, not that she really needed to as the Silvally was already on it. With a cry of triumph, Ouzo’s whole body glowed brightly with light brown energy as it charged forth and slammed into the Centiskorch without letup, their foe by all means being stronger and faster yet it seemed that last Dynamax attack had given the chimera a much needed boost to outspeed their opponent. And that was all it took to end the fight for good as the fiery centipede gave a defeated trill and collapsed to the turf below.
Kabu nodded affirmatively, returning his last fainted Pokemon as the two trainers walked forth to meet one another on the field. The old man smiled, dipping his head towards the redheaded woman as he held out the badge and other spoils for her to take.”I suppose I should’ve expected you to be quite the tough opponent after watching your battles against the other two leaders, but it seems even my many years of experience couldn’t stand up to you and your talented Pokemon,”he admonished, humming thoughtfully,”You’ve certainly proven that you and your team already have a lot of potential in you, but there’s always room for growth there too. Heh, seems even I still have a ways to go in spite of training and battling Pokemon for my whole life!”Returning his smile with a grin of her own, Eveline accepted his hand and gave it a firm shake, pocketing her new badges and her new prizes into her bag. ”Well thanks, but to your credit you weren’t bad yourself,” she remarked, ”Maybe if we run into each other again sometime, I’d be up for a rematch~” A part of her couldn’t help wondering if maybe Kabu had been holding back in that fight, especially given that his Arcanine didn’t even attack at all when it could’ve easily given them a hard time. But she supposed a win was a win, if anything she probably should be grateful that things had gone the way they had after that whole fiasco with Nessa.
”That battle was certainly quite intense, I was almost a little worried for a moment towards the end there! Not that I had any doubts that you’d come out on top, m’lad- er, Eveline,”Aura cheered joyously as Eveline and her teammates reconvened, almost slipping in a ‘m’lady’ in her excitement but quickly catching and correcting herself. The redhead chuckled softly at that, though the Zacian was admittedly making the battle sound a lot more epic than it had actually been. ”Heh, well of course, it certainly helps to be prepared,” the redhead said with a shrug, brushing it off in a ‘no big deal’ kind of way, ”In any case, getting around will certainly be a lot easier from here on out now that we have badge three under our belts.” Next stop, Hammerlocke, at least after they stop by the Pokecenter first to get Rita’s burn healed up. Speaking of, Aura’s bright smile faded into a concerned frown when she saw the rough shape the Drizzile was in.”Ah, you do not look well, friend. Would you like for me to carry you until we can get you to the healer?”she asked, holding her arms open in offering. Rita, of course, didn’t need to be told twice as she climbed into the disguised wolf’s arms, happy to not have to walk the whole way to the Pokemon Center when she wasn’t feeling well.
”Th-That would be n-nice… Thank you…”she said in a small voice, letting herself relax as the Zacian carried her bridal style out into the lobby of the stadium. A quick change of clothes back into her regular outfit later and returning Ouzo to its Pokeball to rest for now, Eveline and her Pokemon exited the Motostoke Stadium and made a beeline to the closest Pokecenter. While Nurse Joy tended to Margarita, Ouzo, and everyone else, Lambrusco seemed a little lost in thought as he held a hand to his chin.”You know… Something about that man Kabu felt vaguely familiar to me,”he commented idly in Eveline’s mind,”He just reminds me of a certain someone your father and I met a long time ago, you know?”
Oh? Though it sounded like a simple offhanded comment, Eveline couldn’t help but entertain the suggestion for a moment. Supposedly Kabu’s league card mentioned something about him having been invited to join the Galar League from the Hoenn region from what bits of information she’d gleaned from looking him up online, which seemed to imply that he could’ve very well been a gym leader in Hoenn prior to coming here. The question was who was in charge of his former gym now? Most likely a family member, since it seemed gym leaders tended to pass down that kind of position to close relatives first if possible given what happened with Koga leaving the Fuchsia City gym to his daughter after his promotion to the Elite Four. Well, she supposed if they chose to visit Hoenn sometime and maybe take on some of the gyms there they could have a look for themselves. With Margarita and everyone else fully healed and back in top shape, Eveline was ready to get a move on to their next destination as she returned the Drizzile to her ball for some much needed rest. It almost didn’t feel real that they’d just came to Galar only days ago, apart from that whole wishing star hunt thing, and now they could finally get to where she’d been planning to go from the start ever since they got on the train in Lumiose.
”So where to now? Assuming this was the last of these gyms we had to fight in this area, I would suppose that there will be more wherever we head next, yes?”Aura inquired as she looked to Eveline, curious to hear where their adventures would take them from here. Memories of the distant dragon-like city they’d seen from the bridge to Hulbury flashed through her mind, which seemed like the logical next step from here assuming there was yet more to explore beyond there. The redhead pulled out her Rotom Phone, moving to click open the regional map app and noting that she seemed to have messages from Zane and Zenzi that she’d had to read and respond to soon. Deciding to just leave it for now, she pulled open the map and scrolled up past the large stretch of the Wild Area between Motostoke and Hammerlocke and pointing to the graphic of the city. ”Hammerlocke iz our next stop from here. Of course that iz where zee eighth gym of ze league is and we’ll likely get to that in due time, but there’s some other… ‘important’ matters we need to stop there for az well.” Aura’s eyes brightened as she watched and followed along, a bit excited that her suspicions regarding the dragon city were indeed confirmed. Still, it sounded like Eveline wasn’t quite as interested in the gym stadium there as she was in something else… The Zacian gave her a quizzical look, wondering what other business there was in Hammerlocke that her trainer seemed more worried about. Before she could think to ask what it was, though, she caught something in her trainer’s bright green eyes for a brief moment. A look that seemed… morose? Anxious? Forlorn? Whatever it was, something in her gut was telling her that whatever it was Eveline had to attend to in the city, it was likely something deeply personal to her.
Not wanting to overstep her boundaries, though she doubted the redhead would really want to talk about it anyways, the fairy knight simply offered a small smile and a gentle pat to her trainer’s shoulder.”As you wish.”Lambrusco, already sensing the troubled thoughts on the woman’s mind, briefly locked eyes with Aura and gave a grateful nod when the Zacian decided not to push further. In truth, he couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of dread, having not seen Samuel’s home in Galar in so long he truthfully wasn’t at all certain of just what it was they might find in there. But now that they were so close, they couldn’t just keep putting it off forever. ”Well, if you two are ready then, oui?” Shame there wasn’t any train that went out to Hammerlocke from Motostoke, not that they’d need it since they already had their own transportation on hand as she grabbed Absinthe’s Pokeball and released the Dragapult before them. The big dragon gave a wide-mouthed yawn as she seemed to have been taking a nap, the pair of Dreepy housed in her plane wing-shaped horns mimicking their larger guardian before Sin’s narrow yellow eyes fixated her trainer with a curious look. ”We’re leaving for Hammerlocke, you wouldn’t mind carrying uz there, would you, mon cheri?” she coaxed sweetly, standing up a bit onto her tiptoes to pat the ghost dragon’s nose affectionately.
Sin huffed, leaning down and nuzzling into her trainer’s hand briefly before withdrawing her head, nodding affirmatively.”Of course,”she answered simply, bending herself forward to let the three of them climb onto her back. Thankfully with Aura being in a much more compact form than her actual giant wolf form, she was easily able to fit on Sin with Eveline and Lam.”You know… I do not believe I have ever ridden another Pokemon before, much less actually flown on one,”Aura spoke up, the Zacian tentatively adjusting herself and trying to find the best way to keep herself secure on the dragon’s back,"I am doing this correctly, yes?"Between this and riding on the train, she was certainly experiencing so much that was entirely new to her ever since waking up from her long sleep. This would be very interesting, however, that much was certain… though she was admittedly a bit nervous about possibly falling off along the way. Lam nodded in confirmation, offering her a gentle smile and double-checking that she was all set for when they'd take off.
”First time flying? Heh, well it’s easy enough, surprisingly,” Eveline explained with a smirk, reaching forward to pat the Dragapult’s neck before looking back to make sure the disguised wolf was ready, ”Only thing I’d say iz that you’d better hold on tight~ Takeoff might be a bit rough at first, but you get used to it after a few times. Sin here's also an expert flyer zo zee ride should be smooth sailing from there, not too many bumps along ze way.” With that, she turned back, gently nudging the ghost dragon’s side with her heels and spurring Sin to take off. With a rush of wind as the Dragapult surged forward, climbing higher and higher into the air with each passing second, they left the city far behind them. The landscape of Motostoke City below gradually gave way to greenery, large lakes, stone formations, and even what looked like a desert smack in the center as they soared high over the Wild Area, towards the distant draconic structure of Hammerlocke City where new discoveries were surely waiting for them.】✧✧
