The silence was heavy after Helga said her piece and Jason didn't attempt to break it, following with Slayer and Occisor in tow as they moved on. The silence wasn't oppressive, like it had admittedly felt before the brief, if meaningful, conversation, it more induced a degree of contemplation in Jason as he and his partners followed their wood-dwelling guide. Jason wasn't as naive as he was sure Helga took him for, the scars of what Cipher had done were evident on almost every Evigian native he met. The way they avoided any talk of Cipher was the most apparent, but with some people it was the way they would talk about the organization, the barely contained hatred and contempt and desire for...well, the young and aspiring champion would say revenge. At his dad's suggestion, before meeting with Kapoc and meeting Slayer, Jason had reached out to the Hoenn region's champion, Steven, and talked with him about his goal in Evig. As he followed Helga and walked, something he'd said resurfaced.

"Becoming the champion of a region is more than just being the face of the League, Jason. It involves taking on the future of your Region and proving that the darkness within its legacy does not define it. Teams Magma and Aqua were children compared to Cipher and we have second hand accounts, none of us lived what the Evigians did. If you do become champion, prove you're committed to them and show them you can help build a better future."

Of course, Helga's shared experience, as non-specific as they were, not only reinforced Steven's point but also reminded Jason he was still an outsider striving for a League Championship in a region he didn't grow up in. Which only drove him to prove he was deserving of it. However, before he could let his thoughts wander too much further, the sight of the glowing green balls grabbed his attention. When Helga said not to worry about them, he nodded and continued to follow, watching them grow in number as they got closer to whatever they were approaching. After a few more minutes of trekking, they finally arrived at a grey building that almost seemed like a plant nursery. Looking at it, the building seemed to descend into the Earth and, as he looked at it, he recognized the symbols and markings from the ruins in Route 4, where he'd caught Murus. "This is as far as I can take you," Helga said while turning around to face him. "Remember what I said, I could only lead you here, but I cannot protect you. This is something you must do on your own."

Jason nodded and then looked at the building, taking a deep breath. He was here to explore this and find out the information that restless scientist was trying to prove. And it started here. "Right, well, in I go. Occisor, Slayer, you two ready?" The two Pokemon nodded, Occisor much more confidently than Slayer, and the three strode into the ruins, wary but ready.

Jason didn't speak for a long time after Helga finished speaking, walking in silence. He'd seen similar looks, heard similar tones, in his conversations with Adrianne when she'd briefly mention Cipher. And we complained about Team Magma and Team Aqua back home...they were kids playing games compared to what happened here... As he glanced at Slayer, his first partner in his journey, the young man realized that there was a good chance that Slayer was, at the very least, descended from the part of the Pokemon population that managed to avoid getting turned into Shadow Pokemon or culled by Cipher, if not a survivor of the devastation himself. In fact, as he paused to reach down and hug his partner, he pulled Occisor's ball off his belt and let the Scyther out. There was a confused "Scy" as it saw Helga and then turned around just in time for Jason to give it a hug as well.

"Hey buddy, I...you were justified in what you tried to do when we met." The Scyther stared at Jason for a moment before nodding and giving a hug back awkwardly as the trainer looked at Helga. "I get that I may seem young and dumb to you. I get that I seem naive as being from Hoenn and not seeing everything that happened first hand would make me seem, but I want to make a difference here and...I want to keep Cipher from ever having the power to make a come back. Let's get you your moss and me to that Shrine, and then I'll continue my journey and get strong enough to stop anyone like that from gaining that kind of power again. You have my word."

The mention of one of the cities dad had said he'd spent a lot of time helping people in made Jason grimace, though he was quick to wipe the look off his face. His parents had seen the aftermath of most everything, he didn't want to imagine how seeing it happen looked. His response was not the most forthcoming, however, as he wasn't sure how to respond. "Have you ever seen something that had no concept of good or evil? A creature that had no emotion, no desires, and no sense of self? A soulless killing machine that does not differentiate from Pokemon or trainer? That is what a Shadow Pokemon is; a mindless tool for violence with great, yet awful power." Fucking hell, if that isn't despicable... They sounded like something Magma and Aqua would have used, if they could have, and Hoenn would have become a warzone if they'd had access to that kind of power. If he was honest, as the whole mess with Kyogre and Groudon and both Team Magma and Team Aqua had been dealt with by the time he was looking at becoming a trainer, if they'd known had to get or make Shadow Pokemon, he had to wonder how Hoenn would have looked. Sieggolt City wasn't a name he knew, but he wasn't sure prying was a great idea.

After mulling these thoughts over for a moment, Jason spoke again. "I...did they ever say why? Or did they just attack without regret and without a second thought? They wanted to control the region is what I've been told, why decimate it like this? I just..." He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be prying into it all like this, especially when you went through it, these can't be pleasant memories. I'll stop."

The pain and bitterness in her voice at the mention of the Shadow Pokemon caused Jason some measure of hesitance. He had known that Cipher's time in control of the region had left scars on the people as well as the Pokemon, his parents talked about it all the time, but this was the first time he'd seen anyone acknowledge it. Living out here amongst the Pokemon...guess I can't say I'm all that surprised she saw some of the worst when they came after the Pokemon here. He let the silence sit a moment longer before he spoke. "If I may, and I understand if you don't want to, no one when I first came to Evig wanted to either, but...what did Cipher do to those Pokemon to make them Shadow Pokemon? What did Cipher even hope to gain? I...I grew up around them, spent a lot of time among them when I was exploring in Hoenn, spelunking, mountain climbing, all of it. I just...I don't see what they did as right I guess."

The quiet was certainly no fun to the young man, but as they walked, it was nothing new, as he'd spent a lot of time alone back in the Hoenn region as well, since he had a penchant for exploring not many people shared. Pokemon in the wild were dangerous and, admittedly, unpredictable, but Jason had always been smart and careful about it. However, that had proven to not be enough here in the Evig region on more than one occasion, as he didn't know it or the Pokemon that called it home anywhere near as well as he did Hoenn. Need to take some time and rectify that issue soon, preferably before I have another Scyther trying to make me a Headless Horseman...

Silence continued to reign for awhile longer, and, just as Jason was about to ask how far they had gone, Helga spoke first, inquiring after his story. Jason admittedly hesitated to answer right away, not sure how she'd respond to the truth and, briefly, considered lying to her. Then he looked at her biceps again and was reminded that she would probably suplex him to Arceus if he did, and so decided on the truth. "I was vetted for by the current Evig champion, along with a few others. The professor gave us our starters, we got a little speech and out we headed. I'm from the Hoenn region and, admittedly, am here largely because I missed the window for Hoenn's league. But I also get to see my parents more often up here, so there is a couple of pluses. That said, I've only been an actual trainer for a couple of days. Actually, nearly got my head taken off by a Scyther my first time here in the Deep woods..."

And you can go jump off a fucking cliff for that attitude... Still, as Jason followed Helga and her Houndstone out of the cottage, he kept his frustrations to himself. He had hoped that they'd at least work together and cooperatively until they got to where the Ekans were, but it seemed that was not to be the case, which he could handle. His team was strong and, he hoped, fairly well balanced with all things considered. He waved at the Pumpkaboos as they walked out of the clearing and as they neared the trees again, let Slayer out of his ball, the Ralts sticking close to his trainer and eyeing the Houndstone with an equal mix of caution and curiosity. Jason himself had never seen one before, understood they were native to the Paldea region. He added it to the list of places he needed to visit when he was done here in the Evig reason and he'd either become the champion or given it his damnedest to become it.

While he didn't appreciate being called a greenhorn, Jason liked to think he knew his way around most Pokemon, he didn't open his mouth to correct her as she continued. Seeing her relax back though gave the aspiring champion a slight breath of relief however, because it meant he wasn't about to get suplexed straight to god, same day shipping. However, when she mentioned Ekans, Jason paused a moment as he tried to think if he was familiar with that particular Pokemon and, after wracking his brain for a solid thirty seconds, he realized he wasn't. However, as she said, he couldn't afford to say no. He did take a moment to pull out his Pokedex and search up the apparently serpent Pokemon, he frowned. So it's normally purple and yellow, which in a cave meant it would stick out, but they don't because of their moss...fucking hell, that's gonna make this more dangerous...but I can't really afford to not take this offer... Mentally sighing, Jason stored his Pokedex and looked at Helga. "I'll do it. If the cost to find the shrine is some moss on a snake Pokemon, I'll pay it."

Suspicious Monster Sighting-Briefing
@Cello@Lunarlord34@Sanguine Rose


The sergeant let them all have their piece before sighing. The girl had to quip about the apology, but he held his ground. "Right then, so Mister Kiba, Miss Adelynn and a Mister...Actually, I think you were the only one to not provide a name here." Monreu's gaze remained even. "You can give it before we leave, but I'll continue with the briefing. As I previously stated, we confirmed the mystery monster isn't the lightning beast that fucked up the rest of the garrison. But we don't know if it has a relation of some kind; be that as prey, predator, or rival and that makes the Garrison Commander nervous. I was convinced it would make your guild master nervous too when he called her to discuss the matter with her, but he said she only replied that her mages looked forward to the challenge, so...yeah. I'll be two miles out watching for the tell tale signs of our lightning using friend and, should I see the fucker, trying to buy you time. So we can stay in communication, you'll need these." He offers Mark, Kiba and Adelynn each a small bead shaped device. "VOX units, allows us to instantly talk."

Urgent Delivery-Rendezvous
@hatakekuro@Sanguine Rose


It was an hour into the trip when the Corporal called a halt, drawing his rifle from its holster and raising it slightly. "Did anyone else hear that?" One of the other guardsmen looked at him weird.

"The hell are you on about, Corporal? I didn't hear any-Oh..." The others all drew rifles and aimed four different ways into the trees, their horses nervous, but clearly used to fighting like could potentially be happening. As Nolan and Ria all listen to the sounds around them, they realize that there were none and they weren't sure when the sounds of the forest stopped. Their primal instincts screamed at them danger, but as of yet, no one could see anything. The Corporal was nervous and kept shifting his aim.

"Has to be Asterins. Vulcans don't usually cause this kind of reaction and the big lightning fucker would have already attacked."

The ways in which Ariel changed were...unexpected and Jenna observed it even as Akemi came up with the job and asked about whether or not she could go on it. As the girl looked at Jenna for answers, the Wolf Takeover mage couldn't help but chuckle. "It would seem that my magic has imparted loyalty back to you, as wolves live, travel, hunt and die in packs that they remain loyal to at all cost." She then shifted over Akemi and the job, though as she took it to read over, she noted that Amelia had joined the group and listened to D'angelo's offer after Ky asked, though really begged, to go as well. After musing everything over, she nodded. "I will permit all interested parties their requests, so long as there are check-ins on job start every hour. While I can't see this getting too crazy...we are mages."

Jason knew the look on her face, the smile that wanted him to make some elaborate promise and fail to deliver. He'd seen in on the face of the bullies he used to beat the crap out of when they were faking giving the kids they picked on a false hope. However, this wasn't going to go the way those schoolyard fights had, because he was pretty sure he'd be in a headlock of death before he so much as twitched a leg muscle. So he did the only thing he could as he sighed and took a deep breath. "I have always done my damnedest to keep a promise and now won't change. If it's within my ability to do, I'll get it done. But I want to put emphasis on the within my ability part."

Jason had known that there would be an ask, even as he related his tale at her request. The problem was he wasn't sure what he could offer this prime representation of gains that she probably couldn't get herself. Except maybe real coffee, but something tells me she enjoys this stuff. Still, he had to think of something, the trick would be what, and, if he was honest, there was no harm is what he was about to do. "Depends on what you need. I'm also on the path to become the region's champion, and I'll be doing a lot of traveling. Maybe I can bring something back for you?"
