ride on

Finding the place hadn't been easy. Guzma had been reluctant to tell Sena or Adora anything about it, and they couldn't go to Lusamine to ask, what with Overwatch keeping tabs on her. But Kukui, on the other hand, had been surprisingly forthcoming, although all he'd given them was a vague hint about a hidden door somewhere in the new Stadium.

That had been enough. Searching around the base had netted them a secret door at the seemingly empty end of a hallway, and taking it leads to an elevator down into the depths of the stadium. And that led them to another door...one completely locked up with no visible keypad or lock. The only thing there is an odd camera-like device, and a speaker...the light above it a bright red. They're stumped.

"How're we supposed to get in? Did Lusamine give you some kinda secret key or something?"

"Eh?! W-W-Why would she give me anything like th-"

As if responding to his voice, the light suddenly flashes green, and a neutral female voice sounds through the speaker.

"Ultra Rider Zero-One, confirmed."

"...Eh?"

The door unlocks and allows Sena to pull it open, revealing a room very similar to the secret lab that Lusamine had shown Sena some time prior, equipped with multiple buckles and other equipment for additional Ultra Riders. Before Sena and Adora can step inside to get a better look, however, a hologram boots up in front of them. It's a young female with bob-cut hair, dressed in a white and green suit dress over black. She speaks in the same neutral voice from before, making it evident that she's related to whatever computer system just recognized Sena as the first Ultra Rider.

"Greetings, Ultra Rider Zero-One. I have been awaiting your-"

SLAM.
...
...
...

"...Sena, why'd you shut the door?"

"...No, I was just surprised..."

After that totally embarrassing live-stream that exposed him, Adora got the brilliant (as in, he couldn't say no to it) idea to go around and actually speak to people about the Ultra Riders! Which, he was planning to do anyway! But now that Overwatch people are on the streets, they've obviously gotta sneak around in the shadows, like a resistance organization, and -

Anyways, this just means that Adora and Sena are both skulking around, trying to get people's attention in a non-attention grabbing way.

Or bailing them out of tough-slash-inconvenient spots the Overwatch goons are putting them in. That's probably more likely.

So. So far, nobody has commented on it, but Phym has a jet black horn jutting from her temple, strange black markings on her skin, and her white dress is...fairly clearly part of her actual skin. On top of that, she's openly psychic, and has been noted to be able to communicate with Pokemon.

Some of the Overwatch goons decided that meant she should be taken into custody.

They very quickly learned that doing this where Alice could see them was a spectacularly bad idea. One of them is currently passed out in a crater from where she chokeslammed him so hard his armor shattered. Another has been embedded head-first through a nearby wall, and Alice is holding a third one in the air by the simple expedient of grabbing him by the top of the skull and lifting.

The fourth member of the squad, who can see a losing proposition before an enraged super-soldier bursts in, is just standing off to the side with Phym, bribing her with candy.

Someone should probably calm Alice down before she kills someone.

Sena is here to save the day!

Kind of!

Okay so he noticed that someone was getting attacked by Overwatch goons and he was initially going to help but then Alice started throwing them through walls. And is about to throw another one at him.

"Wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT-!" AAAAAAAAAAA

Alice pauses, because while the panicked screaming is expected, that guy doesn't have any armor. She adjusts her grip on the goon's skull, tosses him in the air, and catches him by one ankle before slamming him into the ground and leaving his unconscious body behind as she walks over to Sena.

"Sorry about that. I was running a little hot there."

Man. He's sure glad he's not that guy.

"It's u-understandable...I mean, with how these guys are acting..." He scratches his ear nervously. "Are you guys alright?"

Alice pauses to take stock, noticing the one goon near Phym handing her a lollipop before stepping away, hands in the air to indicate he's not going to try anything.

"I think so, yeah. I worked out a lot of frustration just now."

She crouches down next to the goon she chokeslammed, who's starting to move feebly, and nudges him in the ribs with one foot, drawing a pained hiss from him. She snaps her fingers in front of his face a few times to get his attention and starts speaking when he focuses on her.

"So hey. Listen - listen to me. One of you idiots was smart enough to not mess with my daughter, so he can drag you morons home. And I want you to spread the word, okay? If any of you idiots come near her again, I won't hold back the next time. Got it?"

Her piece said, she dismisses the goon as beneath her notice and walks over to Sena, Phym trailing behind her.

"You were coming in to help, weren't you? Thanks for that."

"Y...Yeah. Seems like I didn't need to, though..."

Aha ha.

"Those guys are really starting to push their luck...Seriously, nothing's been decided yet, but they're already acting like they have the right to everything..."

It's frustrating.

Phym raises her arms and Alice immediately picks her up, settling her against her hip. Phym blinks wide red eyes at Sena as she contributes to the conversation.

"You're scared because Mommy lost her temper, aren't you?"

The pair cling to each other a little tighter.

"Last time this happened, Mommy couldn't fight back. That's all."

"Not scared...just surprised..."

Seriously, he's kinda used to Pokemon slamming each other into the ground like that...and it happens quite a lot in football, too. Playing with Mr. Don and the others for half a year in Notre Dame...ahaha. Yikes. Terrifying. But it was a good experience!

"At least this time, nobody's against us defending ourselves...If anything, I think they'd help if they could. But...having to hide, it's...I don't like it."

"Nobody does. It's fine, though. I'm not going to hide ever again, so I can be a distraction."

Alice smiles.

"If they're focused on me, you can sneak around them, right?"

Sena looks a little reluctant to agree, but he eventually smiles and nods.

"You're right. I don't like putting things all on you, but...it is true that I'm working on something. If you could help...it'd be great."

"Well then! You've officially got an Adaptive God Eater on your side! Alice Pennywort, nice to meet you."

An

An Adaptive What Now.

"Sena Kobayakawa! It's good to meet you too! And, um..."

what's your kid's name again

And so far, you got someone who isn't being accosted by Overwatch and their goon squad - Dawn. By pure luck of being a native Trainer, the soldiers ignored her...

And it was really annoying her, mostly because by ignoring her, the soldiers were aiming at other Trainers.

"Oooh, I wish they would mind their own business...!" Dawn growled, arms crossed under her chest.

Speaking of minding their own business...

"Yan, break up the path with Ancient Power!"

Sounds like they're still not doing that. Looks like they made the mistake of going after Sena, who's retaliated by sending out his Yanmega.

It pulls up rocks from the ground with mystical power, creating several potholes for the Overwatch goons to fall into.

"Now, crush 'em!" And then the rocks are dropped back on top of the holes they fell into. They're wearing armor it's fine. Probably. Sena's not looking back as he moves to escape the scene, but it leads to him almost crashing into Dawn when he does so.

"Ah-ah, sorry!"

"Woah! Hey! What's the big idea?!" Dawn yelped, leaping out of the way. And then she sees what happened.

"What the...?! Were those...?!"

"Sorry, sorry-" sena you already apologized, chill.

"Those Overwatch guys were just coming after me, so...yeah, sorry for almost bumping into you!"

And then he glances back.

"Uh...sorry about the road, too?" oops

"I think the people here wouldn't mind - these guys are just plain annoying!" Dawn said.

Sighing, she pulled out a Pokeball and tossed it, releasing Piplup, still carrying his Beast Ball.

"You're probably right, but it still feels bad contributing to the problems they're causing..."

Wait...a Pokeball inside a Pokeball? Can that actually happen..?

"Uh...is that...?"

"Yeaaaaah, Piplup just wouldn't let me carry Buzzswole. It was his catch and his alone."

"Pip!" the penguin chirped, happy at that.

"A Pokemon catching an Ultra Beast..." Sena laughs lightly.

"And these guys still can't do that kinda thing..." He jabs a finger back at where the overwatch soldiers were, sighing.

“He flexed his little heart out and it impressed him!” Dawn admitted. “Hopefully we won’t need him.”

“Piplup! Pip!” The penguin chirped, facing down the holes bravely.

"Maybe not, but we might at least need him to prove a point..."

Is...is Sena thinking about something. Hiruma's taught him a lot over the years, so perhaps...is it something...devious.

"A-ah, but if you're worried about using him, you don't have to..."

he's back to normal. ah.

"Oh, no, I'm not worried about using it. As long as Piplup is fine with it." Dawn said.

"Pip!" the penguin chirped, pumping its wing.

"Ahaha...so, Piplup..." Aren't you a confident fella...

"You in for teaching these guys a lesson?"
