January 5th, Evening

He dreams often.

No more often than he did at home, maybe. Normally they're less...voltile though, he thinks. And that's probably not the fault of this place given when they started getting this way- ever since his interactions with the Ring Spirit (the 'Other Bakura' doesn't seem to fit anymore, much to his growing irritation, and to try the words feels like oil on his tongue). But that doesn't change the unfortunate part of it, the part that has had Wicke carefully greeting him with pots of tea when a literal herd of pokemon are leading him over to a couch in the living room and turning on lamps because trying to sleep after visions such as those is near impossible.

The dreams happen regardless though, and on the eve of the 5th comes one with such urgency he can practically feel the monsters of his deck (and in his pocket) stir.

Because it is dark. Night time. There are words lowly being muttered over the air by a figure in the shadows, words that feel as if they should be familiar in their intent but not their tongue. They are not words he has ever learned, and yet the shadows themselves recognize them with concerning clarity. The words are filled with might. Filled with strength, and power-

White hair blows violently in the wind, and light shines across it (through it, from it) before the vision moves to reveal still more in flashes. Flashes of fire, and firelight. Flashes of a building, a great 'O' symbol with what could be a 'W' formed within it shining under blaring lights.

Sirens.
Sirens are sounding, and the islands practically quake as he overlooks them all, three great and mighty powers rising to the Call. The first forming from earth, great and necrotic fists clenched tight. The second from the seas, massive and coiling, a scarlet storm with twin mouths. And the third, sending a shock through his very being as he chokes and threatens to scream in reality, gold feathers and golden armor spinning from the clouds.

The Gods tower over the island so many of them call home, and the figure in the shadows reaches. Reaches as massive chains of unnatural red launch forth around the gods, an echoing cry rising to meet that of the God's own. A shout that could rend space itself, from lines, from jewels, from pearls, pearls, p-


"KhhHUUUUUHHH-!"

Something is going to happen.

Katsuya throws his jacket on, ignoring the violent 'buzzing' sensation from the pocket as he fumbles around for his Rotomdex.

"Rotom- Rotom, shit- c'mon wake up!" he snaps, the dex beeping confusedly as he makes for the door in panic.

"Nnnn-zzrrt! What is it, I was sleeping..!!"

"Not th' time, call Kaiba! ...Call Zahra! ...Fuck, call everyone, I don' care, we need-" He pauses, and turns to where he knows, just knows somehow, that Wicke will be turning the corner. "...Wicke!"

Something is going to happen.

They don't have a lot of time.

[[OOC - This is a forward dated post, taking place late January 5th; people can respond using the Rotomdex network assuming that Katsuya's rotom contacted them, but they should not feel obligated to do so! This post is, ultimately, more of a Prelude...]]

A - Breakthrough Skill

Anyone with or without the intent to locater Shay will find him in the middle of training on the beach. Sometimes it’s as simple as pitting his party against each other or the occasional wild Pokemon mutually itching for a fight.

Other times as the teen keeps up his training and patrol regime, his Hawlucha is like a mirror version of their trainer as they imitate and spar. Spending more time with the rest of his team is something Shay has to work on, but he can justify extra focus for the avian luchador when they’re the one he’ll be leaning on for an upcoming challenge.

....

...... So, he’s rather disgruntled if it’s a bunch of literally grass green armored soldiers that end up coming up to him, which is an understatement really.

"What do you want?"

"By the authority of Overwatch, all items of Fallers tech and research are being confiscated!" Speaks one, before they pull out an index card from somewhere- just to be able to continue their spiel. "And there’s evidence that you, Shay Obsidian, have a suspicious item! A… ‘Duel Disk’ to be exact!:

To this, the teen mutters to himself about not having time for this already nonsense (on so many levels) attempt at martial law. "And what if I said I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

"Then you’ll be searched and taken into custody!"

And you know what, Shay thinks he’s fine with a bit more of a challenge for himself than a Pokemon that has to hold back their power and strength against him, as he meanwhile examines from relatively afar the equipment and dented armor.

“Right.” Shay pulls out the aforementioned duel disk from his (brand new) coat and holds it up for just a moment. “Come get it.”

The soldiers look at each other, then one bumps a different one to go and fetch the thing. But of course, by the time that happens, Shay lightly tosses over to his Hawlucha and in another swift motion, he grabs the one and slams them head over heels deep into the sand.

"That’s what I think of your so-called authority on Alola. Which one of you morons is next?"


B - Readiness (Closed for Dark TRIAL)

The actual moment Shay was training for was at hand. While his Hawlucha as stoic about the matter, it clearly means a lot to the bird when they look up at their trainer with unease about the challenge and get a soothing pat on the head for it.

"Just stick to the plan. I know you have good instincts."


Wildcard!
Got something else in mind? Come at me!
