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.
"Greetings, Ultra Rider Zero-One. I have been awaiting your-"
SLAM.
...
...
...
"...Sena, why'd you shut the door?"
"...No, I was just surprised..."

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

"...Sena, why'd you shut the door?"
"...No, I was just surprised..."
no subject
Absolutely not, complete denial, that is totally embarrassing and attention-grabbing and he is not doing the secret hero identity thing again, he is not
"Yeees~!!!!"
And then his Rotom chimes in, far too cheerfully. Sena groans and puts a hand over his eyes in resignation.
"...yes..."

Sena sighs.
"It's just that this Overwatch stuff came at a really bad time..."
no subject
She bowed. "Please ask Zero One and I questions. We can answer them."
no subject
Holograms...
"...She called the exploration team that huh..." Ahaha...oh...Lusamine...
"Exploration does seem like the next step in helping everyone home at least- especially with how inconsistent progress between them seems to be..."
no subject
lets not tell her that Zero-One is his specific designation that'd be extra embarrassing...
"That was the idea...They thought maybe they could find something to help connect us to other worlds more consistently. I think that's the information that Overwatch is after, too..."
Which makes it all the more important that they protect themselves.
no subject
"Zero-One has been tasked to form a team to begin exploring the worlds outside our world, and protect the Arceus Plates from misuse. Unfortunately, a plate has been stolen by an outside force recently. The plates have been moved to a secure location, and one has been distributed to a third party on Ula'Ula Island. For now, please assist Zero-One in locating a team to operate the Ultra Base."
no subject
"Zero... ...Sena, is that you?" oh god "...Hold on, you're looking for a team? Not that it's something to jump after, but just what kind of help do you need?"
no subject
"I am...basically, since we'll be travelling to Ultra Holes...I'm looking for skilled fighters, or at least people who can handle space. It's too much to expect them to be skilled Pokemon Battlers given how long we've all been here, but if they can protect themselves or are good with this kind of thing, then..."
He clenches a fist and smiles softly, actually looking like the team captain he used to be.
"We can make it a team."
no subject
"....Are you sure then..?" She's calling him out!
Ah, but that said. "Hmmm...a lot of the people here have been teenagers to be frank..." It's concerning. More concerning is the understanding that they may well jump at the chance. Sena would probably turn them down if he didn't think they had what it took but...
"...How many slots do you have?"
no subject
"That's what I'm worried about, there's a lot of them that would absolutely love the chance to try even when they're not ready...Rotom taking the initiative didn't help."
A small "hmph!" can be heard from the phone. She did it for you, Sena!
"I've been looking through the information that Izu has on everyone, and given how much experience people have...I need to look at more than just their Pokemon battling skills. Their other abilities...if they have them, those might be a bigger help for Ultra Hole travelling."
oh wow. he actually sounds like he's been considering things. that's the sound of a team captain looking over tryouts. He leans back in his chair, thinking.
"For now...four slots, I think. I need to keep the team small and manageable, so we can stay under Overwatch's radar..."
no subject
Ultimately, she has her studies but... "....Would it make things easier if I offered to take a slot?" She doesn't exactly sound EAGER but she at least doesn't make it sound like a chore anyway. "Given the complications, this should probably be handled with relative speed..."
no subject
"Really?"
He's seen her shadow powers, and she's used them in conjunction with her Pokemon before...she was able to contribute quite a bit to all the fights they've had so far.
"You've helped out a lot already...and I've seen what you can do. You're already an experienced fighter, so...I don't see any problem with you taking a slot."
Not to mention you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders to begin with...and it'd help having...you know. An Actual Adult on the team.
no subject
no subject
"Well...I've had my Pokemon around for a bit longer than you guys, so I don't think it's fair to compare us with just that..."
He laughs weakly. Let's move on from that, yeah?
"Um, anyways, you can meet us at the stadium. Those Overwatch guys have been banned from entering it, so as long as they don't catch you on the way there, it should be safe to meet there."
no subject
Ah. "Ah, I'll see you there then," she determines, smiling gently. "I shouldn't be long, I just need to get some te-"
"HEHHH!!" "Th-THE TEAPOT!!"
..........
"........I'll see you there," she manages flatly, eyes wide as chaos begins to erupt in the cafe.
no subject
Ah.
"R...right..."
AND SO,
Extremely easily.
She's used to travelling in the shadows. Melting down, skirting about- Yuume slips on in and through and pretty soon she's sliding through those shadows to try and make her way through a certain stadium door.
She doesn't entirely manifest until she spots Sena- at which point,
"Ah. There you are."
boo
no subject
he didn't scream
not at all
izu totally got him used to women appearing through doors and everything he's fine
he did squeak a little though
"Y-Yuume! Hey there!"
no subject
"Sena," she greets, nodding as the armor melts off. "...I'm here- I assume where we're going is somewhere hidden in this building?"
no subject
He motions for her to follow him and leads her all the way down the hall. Through the secret door, down the elevator, through the automated locked door ("Ultra Rider Zero-One, confirmed") and motions to the secret lab.
"Here we are...the Ultra Rider base. At least for now..."
no subject
She doesn't say anything though, not to that. Instead she looks around, nodding and taking in the surroundings. "...For now?" she questions, blinking. "Is this a temporary base?"
no subject
"Well, it's at least going to be the base until things get settled with Lusamine and Overwatch, anyway...I don't know if she planned to have it anywhere else."
It'll probably be the permanent base when all is said and done, but better to be safe than sorry.
no subject
Anyway. "Ahh, I see! Well...I suppose I'm here now, but what is it that you need me to do for this to be official exactly?"
no subject
"Well..." Sena walks over to a shelf. It's the one that was full of strange buckles that his Rotomdex zoomed in on during the video. He takes one and holds it out to her.
"This is a Ride Buckle...It's what registers you as an Ultra Rider. When you first use it, it'll assign you a designation and register your information in the system, so...You sure you want to do this?"
He's giving you one last chance to confirm it.
