Season 2, Episode 2 - Tensions Rising... - OTA

"There she is! Get her!"

Ever since the announcement about Overwatch's takeover, the soldiers Glomgold had introduced had began patrolling the islands. There had been reports that various unknown Fallers had been unceremoniously taken into custody, which has also upset the natives in their supposed "authority". This was even making other Fallers go into hiding.

Of course, this was not enough for one Faller as Nozomi, tired of being cooped up, escaped into town... and found herself confronted by the soldiers. Nozomi was "special" to them, as she was the first Faller to enter Alola without "falling" in. Of course, going into custody was NOT in her plans, summoning her Victini and having it use Searing Shot to scatter the soldiers and allowing Nozomi to escape as Cure Dream.

Of course, this meant that she was now being chased by these invaders. One leap had a soldier snag her boot, leading to Nozomi strike the man, pulling off her boot and letting her magic create a new one.

"This is ridiculous!" Nozomi shouted as she landed on the ground. "The transfer hasn't been made official! Stop this now!"

"Under the authority of Overwatch, with Aether under lockdown, we will take over officially now!" the soldier said

Zahra had wanted to be reasonable. To organize peaceful protests, try to negotiate with Overwatch like rational people. They even dismissed the whisperings of abductions as alarmist rumors.

But this? This they can't stand.

The gloves are coming off.

Out of an alley, Zahra sneaks behind one of the armored goons, hitting him in the temples with a solid gold (and yet surprisingly durable) millennia-old artifact and a bag of densely packed, very heavy iron dice. As he goes down like a sack of bricks, Zahra tosses out three of their Pokéballs in unison: a Dive Ball, a Luxury Ball, and a normal Pokéball. Radiating waves of wrath so intense that it almost feels like a physical force, Zahra stares down the thugs, team at their side.

There's gonna be hell to pay.

Zahra's face is a twisted mask of pure fury as they snap their fingers, pointing towards a soldier in Dragon-type armor. "Obsidian, Star: Dragon Rage." Each word feels like a tombstone. "Necro, use Nasty Plot.

"We're taking these motherfuckers out."

"Shadow Ball." Necro rears back, making a face that a Pokémon as inherently cute as an Eevee should not be able to make. A ball of unstable, shadowy magic forms between their ears, and they fling it at the Overwatch goon in time with Zahra planting a sidekick in his chest and Victini's Quick Attack.

Combined with the Dragon Rages that knocked him off balance, the goon blasts off, and Zahra turns to face the others while twirling their puzzle and dice bag adroitly. "If you know what's good for you, run."

Zahra shrugs. "Fine." If they want to play that way, then they'll just have to respond in kind.

"Star, restrain him." Zahra points at the lead soldier, steel in their voice. "Obsidian, use Crunch." The Dratini springs forward, aiming to coil around the goon with a Wrap... and runs headlong into the Deino, who was nipping along blindly, and they're getting all tangled up with one another and oh dear.

"...Tch." While Zahra tries to keep up a cool front, as close as they are to Nozomi, she can see that they're genuinely worried about their Pokémon. "Necro, use Sw-"

HOW DID THAT EEVEE GET A GUN

Moreover, the goon in the rock-type armor is suddenly missing his rifle as Necro pulls the trigger, a Stone Edge flying out of the barrel and towards the goons.

Zahra begins stalking forward menacingly, spinning the puzzle and dice bag into a blur that comes crashing towards the goons and-

-whoops there's Star coiled around their leg-

But thankfully Nozomi is there to help Zahra to recover, and after they steady themself, Zahra smashes the improvised flails into a man in Psychic-type armor. Something about the Puzzle and bag seems to twist and distort, temporarily lost inside a purple aura, before the man goes flying back and the formation breaks.

Zahra immediately turns to Nozomi, stoicism broken with genuine worry and empathy. "Sweet Slifer, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

Zahra squeezes them back, breathing a sigh of relief—before Necro somehow laughs maniacally, still wielding the gun, and Zahra breaks away to wrestle it away from the Eevee and snap the cheap piece of shit over their knee before recalling all of their Pokémon.

"I'm Mazaki Zahra. C'mon, I know a safe place to stay." Gesturing for Nozomi to follow, Zahra begins hustling towards the wilderness.

They lead Nozomi through the town, sticking to alleys and hustling through crowded main streets before emerging into the jungles of Alola.

"I can't believe that they'd be so brazen to attack us in broad daylight! Imperialist..." Zahra trails off, mumbling some very bad words.

"I don't know why I expected a paramilitary group with murky governmental authority on their homeworld to do better, but here we are, I guess."

Finally, Zahra reaches their destination: a clearing in the jungle, a large tree with a hollowed-out trunk in the middle. Inside, it looks... comfy? "My house is your house, et cetera, et cetera."

[personal profile] bloomingdespite 2020-01-06 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's fine, really. We're all in this together after all. All are one, right?" Zahra gestures towards the hollow in the trunk, then lays down on a pile of leaves. "I know the amenities may not seem the best, but trust me, it's pretty cushy around here."

"I mean, I doubt that Overwatch has managed to deploy their navy yet, so... you probably still have a chance?"

oh zahra if only you knew,

"Yep. Just give me a few moments to suit up..."

Zahra pops their collar.

"Okay. Let's go."

Seeing someone in danger, even another hero was enough to galavant Mirio into action.

Setting down his groceries, he said, "Let's go, Riolu."

The pair charged in, grabbing the first guy from behind as he slammed him down into an arm bar with such force, it counted as Rock Damage. The Soldier tapped out, his spirit escaping in a very anime-like manner before passing out, as Mirio ducked another attack and danced backwards. "Riolu Focus Punch!" Exclaimed Mirio.

"Ri-o-lu!" exclaimed Riolu, firing a Focus Punch right into the stomach of the closest enemy as Mirio shifted into a weaving dodge with another Soldier who tried to smack him with the butt of his rifle.

"Oh good idea! Riolu, Knock Off!"

"Riolu!" Exclaimed Riolu, swinging down and smacking a rifle right out of a troopers hand, cracking it in half. Incinerate destroyed all of the rest of the rifles, sending them packing.

"Sarge, what do we do?" exclaimed one of them, one in mustard yellow.

"Retreat!" Exclaimed another in blue. "Retreat like the cowards we are!"

With them fleeing with the boot, Mirio laughed as he exclaimed, "Yeah, get out of here! Go on, get!" Turning to Nozomi, he said, "You're really good at the whole Pokemon Trainer thing ma'am! I'm hero Lemillion, at least in uniform. Though my name's Mirio Togata. This is Riolu. We're really glad you're safe!"

"Oh, should we chase after them?" Asked Mirio, looking over his shoulder. Nope, long gone.

"Drat, they've bolted. Man, what an oversight. Maybe I should get into costume, but it's back at Master's place... And these goons aren't giving me much time to really suit up."

"Yeah, though it seems like their gear is weak against certain Pokemon Moves." said Mirio thoughtfully.

"I noticed that they were using Pokemon based moves. Maybe the color of their armor denotes weaknesses too?"

"Cutting corners maybe? But there's got to be a reason behind it." said Mirio. "I think it's just trying to fit in but I kinda like it. Not that this is good? But it gives us a chance to fight back."

He grinned sheepishly, rubbing his head. "I mean, apparently now all of my moves seem to do Air and Rock and Fighting damage, even though I don't have a Quirk anymore. I guess I should really have paid a visit to Aether before it was locked down. Maybe we could have checked this out sooner. But that guy I arm barred..."

He looked over at the guy who was still passed out. "I think I did Rock or maybe Fighting damage to him?"

"I mean, it's just a hypothesis, but considering I know my body inside and out it makes sense. What little I know about this world, it might be some kind of power creep..."

Picking up a rock, he threw it and it clanged off the soldier's head who fell prone once more. "Yeah, that did way more damage than it should have. Definitely Rock weaknesses on those guys if they're coded red for Fire."

"If that's the case, then I can think of these guys as Villains then, with Quirks. Which means we can mount a defense with people who have the most suitable Quirks or Powers or Pokemon that are suitable for this sort of thing." Mirio smacked his hands together.

"I think we've got a plan. I'm also willing to bet that someone is pulling the strings at this organization too. That Glomgold guy sounds sketchy with a name like Glomgold after all with the way he was gloating to that Scrooge person too." added Mirio.

"Well, it's not like we're Pro Heroes here." said Mirio sheepishly. "If anything? We're Vigilantes. Not that's a bad thing, there's a really popular group of Vigilantes in another town nearby where I'm stationed out of. But..."

His hands clenched as he said, "To save a Million People? We gotta start from somewhere. And earn the trust of Alola once more. Which means, we gotta stop whoever is behind this whole Overwatch scheme. I don't know who it is, but I feel it in my gut that this? This isn't right."

"Like the League of Villains and the Shie Hassaikai back home, there's more to this than meets the eye." agreed Mirio. "Two different forces, perhaps working in tandem, or against one another. No one can tell. Either way, we're looking into something deeper."

Mirio picked up his groceries. "Will you be okay going home? They're still gunning for you, and I'd hate to let you go home alone. Riolu and I can accompany you to wherever you want to go for now."

"Oh yeah, strong as an ox! I should be okay. I mean, we just gotta head through the jungle back to Master's place. We need to get back for the supper rush. I think Mallow needs this stuff too..." said Mirio thoughtfully.

[personal profile] one_million 2020-01-03 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Mirio laughed, ducking his head. "I guess I can use the help. All right miss Pro Hero, I'll take your offer. May I have this escort?"
