    It'd been hard to nail down for a bit, why being a for-real ranger felt so good. Easiest, at first, just to say it was miles better than bad-luck job board pickings and pothole patrol. Really it was millions of miles better than waiting. Something would need doing, or someone would need help...

    A spooky greninja guy, not even bothering with security... huh. Leaf wanted to know if they'd overheard what he'd talked to their bosses about, but it didn't look like that was on the table. Welcome thoroughly worn out, then. "Nothing complicated happened, far as you told us," Leaf said...

    "A 'fuss' like they were just excited about the new challenger? Or like they were upset at something that happened?"

    "Dome? Like for battling?" With a red corner and everything, huh. It almost sounded like they'd been listening to a pro wrestling match. Kind of a weird thing to do after getting chased off a train—also kind of a badass thing?—but if Brisa liked battles as much as most of the Escarpa... Leaf...

    "You've all been a big help—" now, at least, sheesh "—but we were gonna end up looking into this one way or another, whether or not you said anything. So if it's something we would've done anyway, there's no reason for anyone to know we heard a word here, right? We'll go find our missing...

    Leaf's ear twitched in Laura's direction. Sooo they weren't mentioning the Vanguard, then? That hitch there sounded like "we're not mentioning that we've met the Vanguard". Okay, sure. Not like Leaf had met them personally anyway. Laura had, though, and based on what she'd said at the meeting it...

    "There are terrorists?" Hm. Would blurting that out just egg Sledge on? Probably it'd just egg him on. Which might help them get more information, but also Buck might not appreciate it. Eh, whatever, too late to unsay it now. "I mean, in general—are there already people around who'd do things...

    Well. Good to know someone was finally willing to be reasonable about this. Leaf shook Buck's ear with a hoof and it wasn't even weird anymore or anything. Mostly. Hooves, man. The damage definitely sounded gnarly. Had Brisa (and her attackers) really done all that alone? (Could they do that?)...

    "Suspicious? What, are you gonna give the third degree to any little old lady or whatever who was on that train now?" Leaf rolled her eyes at Jam, her tail lashing impatiently. "They were on a train, the train got separated, they got separated, just like any group in different cars right then...

    Leaf glanced toward the building the raboot had pointed out. Didn't look too busy from here... if whoever was in there wasn't too buried in whatever their job was to talk, anyway. Still, worth a shot to at least try talking to these guys first, right? (Or whoever the actual workers were, if it...

    If you squinted—y'know, really, really squinted, there was still a good chunk of old-timey stuff around here—you could almost mistake Novelux for something closer to home. Something sorta Vermilion-adjacent, at least, what with all the international port vibes it was giving off: industrial...

    Leaf risked a quick skyward glance to see if any more backup was incoming: any sign of anything else flying or leaping around, maybe trying to keep Nico busy. Nothing. Still and quiet. All the action was still at ground level, then— The charizard moved. Leaf snapped back to them, lunged at...

    Leaf's sides heaved for a couple seconds as she tried to balance catching her breath with keeping her horn pointed straight at the charizard menacing them. Laura wasn't running. Why wasn't she running? Why wasn't the grovyle running? What the hell was going on? "Who... who is this guy?" she...

    Smoke rolled out of nowhere, choking the plaza. Isidora knocked the relic out of Sceptile's grasp (yes!) and he dove into the cloud after it (dammit!). Leaf whirled around, charging back toward them almost without thinking. No. You don't get it. She wasn't scrambling, she was trying. () Maybe...

    Dammit, she'd been there, she'd been right there and this jerk had— Tumbling rocks cut off the rest of Leaf's thought, crashed into the side of her head, nearly took her legs out from under her. All that stellar horse-hearing went dead for a second or two, replaced with painful, obnoxious...

    The moon caught the spines on its back and the withering snarl on its face and it all clicked. Tyranitar, of course. Fighting style wasn't even too far off the one that liked to hang out at Blue's gym, 'sides the fact that around there pokémon usually liked trick room for their speed...

    "Their lord back in Tsainan ordered them to find the saint and told them they couldn't come back without him," Leaf explained to Silver. "Except he knew nobody'd seen Victini in forever, so it's a 'sure, I'll forgive you as soon as you do this impossible task' sorta thing. Sounds like you're on...

    Leaf had to veer hard to the side to avoid the worst of the stones tearing up from the plaza. Annoying, but the breathing room was also kinda nice, if only for a moment; that'd been like trying to PIT maneuver a boulder. Which, ow, but also— "Water, Archie! It's rock or something!" she called...

    The intruder moved and Leaf sliced through the air, sending the psychic shockwave slashing toward them. She didn't wait to see if she'd hit, instead throwing herself into a run across the plaza as the figure tried to slip away. Adorable. Nobody outran her; nobody got away from her. That just...

    More footsteps, and then wingbeats, from two directions. Surreptitious, quiet... but not quiet enough, hah. Man, horse hearing was perfect for exactly this kinda job. More horses should be in spy movies. Did Forlas have movies? Maybe in Novelux? Black-and-white silent pictures at a minimum...
