Episode 2: A Rainbow Sparkling in the Sky

[fallers_npcs]

Today marks a momentous occasion for the Fallers. While the Music Festival has begun on the Island, and the Museum of Arts and History are exhibiting a new exhibit, all of the Fallers have been summoned to the Pokemon School for a very important request by their Rotoms.

"Thank you all for coming," said Burnet, standing in the classroom with the children of Ash Ketchum's class. "As you know, we of Alola have faced many challenges here, with the Ultra Holes opening up. Even now, more Fallers appear day by day. That is why, with the recent acceptance of the Totem Pokemon and their declaration, we have decided to extend our request."

Sliding up the chalkboard, there was a huge button behind the chalkboard as part of the classroom slid open to reveal an elevator. "Please, if you would step forward and take the elevator down."

Once downstairs, the Fallers would find themselves in a huge Command Center, filled with highly advanced technology as a Chansey greeted them, with a new crop of Meltan from nowhere. "Chansey!" She exclaimed, pressing a button as a holographic display appeared. Someswhere in the middle of it, the Alola School Children had been clothed in Armor on the way down, and they saluted Lusamine who appeared on the display.

"Alola, Ultra Guardians. Alola, Fallers. I'm Commander Lusamine, of the Ultra Guardians. And I have a request for you all. I'd like for you all, no, I humbly request for you to join the Ultra Guardians in some capacity, to defend Alola and find a way home for you, as well as defend the Island from Ultra Beasts. We are facing a sudden International Crisis of unprecedented levels, and I wish to explain..."

"As you are well aware, Ultra Holes are opening up on a regular basis. We've sent probes through them, and they connect to almost seemingly random points of time and space. However, they seem to be in flux at any given moment. At any time and moment. And without warning, they can change their end point. This causes trouble for us to send you home, as one of the probes literally send itself into a Volcano." said Lusamine, showing the footage.

"We don't want you to end up into a volcano, which is why we need your help. Some of you are technologically sound, and we've seen your work. If you can help us on the field as well as the board, we can crack the puzzle of the Ultra Holes' unpredictable nature."

"Furthermore, there are International concerns as outside forces are coming into Alola. Already, movement from old defunct teams are starting to move. Concerns from a ally from the remnants of Team Magma has allied with the Aether Foundation, but it might not be enough. Courtney, formerly of Team Magma, has given the Aether Foundation enough information on a project they once sent to Cyrus of Team Plasma, but the data was incomplete. There will be more incidents in Alola as time passes by."

Lusamine straightened up. "Can I count on your help, Fallers? We will furnish you with whatever we can manage."

"Teams of 'bad guys', I take it? And they're coming through the holes?"

Kaiba's definitely not a teamwork guy. He's stayed toward the back of the group, arms crossed...but there's some definite interest in his gaze. He can crack that calculation, he's sure of it.

"Fine. Show me what probes you're using and I'll have them upgraded in no time."

Lusamine smiled. "I'm glad for your assistance Mr. Kaiba. We need someone on the coding side because this is a complicated system. But as for your question on the teams of 'bad guys' coming through the Ultra Holes, that's the interesting part: Yes they are."

Showing a picture of a group of Team Magma grunts with Team Aqua grunts moving equipment through a Ultra Hole, she said, "This was a picture taken by Courtney's men who have infiltrated the members of the group. They seem to be moving things at random through Ultra Holes, but the locations as you can see, have been completely random. What we can tell though?"

More pictures appear, and its clear -- all of them are in Alola. "They're all coming into Alola. All we've seen are grunts, no sign of a Admin anywhere. Even Courtney's infiltrators haven't found anything. To this end, we're working with a couple of specialized members of INTERPOL on this."

Another screen flashed to life from a hotel room as Looker and Anabel appeared on screen. "Greetings Ultra Guardians, Champion, and Fallers. I'm Looker, of Interpol."

"And I'm Anabel, admin of Battle Tower. Hello again Ash, I'm glad you made Champion. But pleasantries will have to wait. I've been working with Looker recently as a sort of contact on the ground and we've come up with some things together. I we can all work together on this."

Yotsuyu gave Kaiba a nod. "Of course, but what sort of things did the pair of you have in mind, then?" Yotsuyu arched her brows, even as she crossed her arms over her chest and glanced at the duo onscreen. The information that had been gathered so far was intriguing to her to say the least, but admittedly, there wasn't much to go on.

Then again, espionage was one of her strong points. With the right tools, she could even pretend to be someone she wasn't...and in this case, Yotsuyu was more than willing to attempt it.

Peter is there as Peter Parker. He figured it'd be better that than go as Spider-Man as it'd be all too obvious about his identity then being the only faller not in attendance. He's standing nearby Tony because the last time he was in a lab like this he got bid by a Spider that gave him super powers. The Superpowers are cool. The feeling like he was going to die part? Not so much. Not to mention he'd had to be given several shots.

He glances up at the mention of INTERPOL, the very same one that Karen hacked about Brodie? They recognized Ash too. Peter glances around quickly to see where the boy is and then keeps listening to the others. He'd offer his help as Spider-Man, certainly but as Peter Parker?

He's not sure what possesses him to do it, but he raises his hand like he's in class or something. "Um I-uh.. I can help too. I'm-I'm pretty good." He says nervously before he realizes he didn't finish his thought. "...With computers."

Meanwhile, Bridge couldn't help frowning a bit as he listened.

"Not that I wouldn't want to help," he said, "but suppose some of us aren't so technologically savvy? What else can we do to help?"

[fallers_npcs]

"We need a bigger response team," said Courtney. "Simply put? The Ultra Guardians needs more manpower to the response group who are capable of responding to the bigger problems that have been growing since the Alola League. There are more Ultra Holes opening up every day, and our own local Guardians are stretched to the limits returning the Ultra Beasts who arrive here almost regularly. We need your help, not just against the Extra-Dimensional Teams, but against the Ultra Beasts."

"I guess it wouldn't hurt too much, yes?" Ellen said. She feels like she should approach them as Cure Beat, buuuuut...

"Considering everything on board, it wouldn't hurt to give a second pair of eyes," said Tony, having come in late with a Pumpkin Spice in hand. "Nice set up you've got here."

He wasn't one to criticize. This was a decent set up, and it was decently technological even by his standards. "Is this a holographic screen set up you've got here? Nice work. I'm in. I'll be your eyes on the ground even if I have a suit and Tiny, but I'm still getting used to Tiny doing all the fighting for me since I don't have unlimited resources to repair the suit."
