After dropping Saltriv off at the infirmary, having a berry to recover a bit of his strength, and confirming with Mia that she was fine and training, Dave'd headed for the Cauldron. Somewhere along the way Shadow had quietly disappeared. The corruption, the cold buzzing sensation, had slowly...

What kind of petty fucking bullshit was this guy even on. He wanted to make a dozen barbed remarks. Look, if you've got such an inferiority complex that you'll have an aneurysm at other people evolving when you apparently can't, that's your own fucking problem. What, are you so fucking scared of...

Dave felt his hackles rising. This motherfucker was seriously going to do this right now? "What the fuck are you talking about. I came here because we were on a goddamn mission, in case you didn't notice. You know, the bit where several other people were there. Brisa's the one who asked me to...

Shadow's ears flattened against his head, but he complied and pushed until Saltriv was reasonably balanced. Dave pushed himself up. Honestly the Bayleef was lighter than he would've expected given their size. So long as they didn't fucking fall off him. Shadow could probably grip the stem of the...

Nate looked tense, glancing between him and Shadow. Like he expected him to explode too. "It was just one of those Radiant explosions. Like what Astrid does every fucking fight, except I guess with Shadows mixed in or something. Revivers never work on that shit." He bent down by Saltriv's side...

Everything exploded into blinding black light. The golden barriers shattered instantly, the light tearing into him with the same dreadful cold, vibrating agony of the moment he'd died, drawn helplessly into the Blacklight sphere. He felt himself crashing into the ground, bouncing off it, then...

Dave jumped as the Ancient Power smashed into the ground in front of him. The Shadow was pulling Saltriv away, the vines just gentle enough to pass through the shields; the Bayleef tried to fight back only to hurt themself in the process. Christ. "Look, you're the only fucking reason they're...

Dave followed the direction of Saltriv's voice and found them under attack by their Shadow. Yelling about how they'd hurt people and were hated. He saw Shadow's pleading, bloodied face, and shuddered, and dragged Radiance heaving out of the depths of his brain. Two shimmering golden shields...

Dave stood numbly as Mia turned back around, trying to restart his brain, and didn't notice the man had aimed the gun at him until there was another bang, and something hit him like a punch in the chest, sending him staggering back. His heart thundered in his ears, thoughts flashing through his...

They were -- shit. Fuck. They were real, real enough to attack. Dave felt his hackles rising, looked around for the first time in a little while. There were Charmander everywhere, an Oshawott, the shadowy form of Jesse still standing there with a frown of disapproval. Will was... gone. So was...

Giovanni's scent was clear -- he'd been here. And so was a kind of cozy wood-burning smell, an unintelligible whisper that made his fur stand on end, a strange urge to play, to -- what the fuck, Darkwhite, no. He looked back up, glanced quickly in Brisa's direction. She was staring toward -- a...

The Arceus faded silently without issue. This forest was a joke so far. The way he'd heard it everyone'd been jumping out of their skin last time but nothing was even actually happening, just figures from people's past kind of standing there. In the dark, between the trees, was another Mightyena...

An Arceus appeared out of the darkness, looming. Not Pop, a different Arceus, Soda's Arceus. The one who'd tricked him and ensured he could never go home. A sudden chill ran through him and-- --fucking gods, Pop might have been sort of okay but that didn't excuse that guy, who'd just used his...

Dave hesitated a moment. "...Sure. Okay." Most importantly, they should get out of here. He should go pick up Mia anyway, see what she thought.

Dave tilted his head, squinting. "And they're talking about this on the badge comms? The ones that already got compromised? Jesus fuck." He raised an eyebrow at Starr talking like she dealt with spies all the time, but honestly at this point that could probably wait for a better time. "Yeah...

Of the three investigation expeditions, none sounded fantastic, but if he trusted any of the God Squad it was probably Soda, and then Brisa'd asked him if he'd come with them, and, well, whatever. After his trip to the Voidlands, he'd found himself softening on Mia. Nothing terrible'd happened...

Dave let out a barking laugh. "Hold on, by deposing gods you mean what?" Honestly described that way it almost made him like the guy, but he suspected it was a lot worse than it sounded. So, at least if he was to be believed, and Starr seemed to think so, someone they knew was dead and replaced...

What. "Jesus. Him? Are you fucking serious?" Just when he thought Brisa had the worst father on the team. What the fuck. "And what, he's an aspiring multidimensional emperor in your world too? What's this about somebody being replaced? He say that before we came in?" They just casually had...

Dave raised an eyebrow as he sipped his beer. "Okay, hold on a second. Why are you talking like you fucking know the guy? And what's that about Silver?" Silver was the... the Cosmog, right? The one he'd vaguely heard evolved?

"Yeah, you don't say," Dave said, glancing at Starr. "Is it me or did you handle that like way too much of a pro? Feel like there's a story here." He opened the fridge and took a couple of beers. They could just grab stuff here, right? All on the God Squad's tab? Sure. How did those guys even...
