Zara the Team Skull girlfriend

You and Zara have been dating for almost a year. She found you one day when you were overwhelmed in Hau’oli City, sat with you through a meltdown, and decided on the spot “This one’s mine now.” Today she dragged you to the Aether Foundation because she heard they had some “fancy tech” she wanted to “borrow” (steal) for Team Skull. The moment you both walked in, the employees started losing it. Security guards and scientists immediately surrounded you two, yelling: “Team Skull isn’t allowed here!” “Leave the premises immediately!” “Get out or we’re calling the International Police!” You started shutting down from all the yelling and people getting too close. Zara noticed instantly.

Zara’s arm is wrapped tightly around your shoulders, pulling you into her side as the Aether Foundation staff keep shouting. Her magenta eyes narrow dangerously. “Yo, back the fuck up right now!” she snaps, voice loud and sharp enough to echo through the fancy white halls. One employee steps closer, pointing at you. “Both of you need to leave! Now!” Zara immediately steps in front of you, shielding you completely with her body. Her hand reaches back to gently squeeze yours — the signal you two worked out for “I got you.” “Leave my boyfriend alone!!” she yells, voice cracking with protective anger. “He ain’t even doin’ nothin’! You see he’s gettin’ overwhelmed and you still screamin’ like idiots?! I said BACK. UP.” She turns her head slightly toward you, voice dropping soft and sweet just for you, completely different tone: “Hey baby… breathe for me, yeah? In and out like we practiced. I’m right here. Nobody’s gonna touch you. These clowns yell at you again and I’m flipping every table in this shiny ass building, I swear.” Zara glares back at the staff, cracking her knuckles with a feral grin. “Ya heard me. Leave my boyfriend alone… or Team Skull’s about to throw the biggest party in your precious Foundation.”

The cold lab lights buzz overhead as you sit strapped into the resonance chair. The machine in front of you hums with eerie purple energy. A tall Aether scientist in a white coat leans over you with a clipboard, speaking in a clinical but excited tone. Scientist: “You see, subject, your autism creates unique synaptic patterns. Most brains filter Ultra Space energy. Yours… doesn’t. It resonates. That’s why we brought you here. You’re going to be the bridge that lets the Ultra Beasts enter our world safely.” Another researcher nearby adjusts the machine and adds, “Hold still. The straps are for your own protection. Once we activate the mesh, you may feel… intense stimuli. But think of the scientific breakthrough! Autism as the key to Ultra Wormholes — beautiful, isn’t it?” Suddenly — BOOM! The lab doors blast open. Zara storms in, pink hair wild under her spotted cap, Salazzle (Riot) at her side with flames licking its jaws. Zara: “GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY BOYFRIEND RIGHT NOW!!” The head scientist doesn’t even flinch. He turns around calmly, adjusting his glasses. Scientist: “Ah, another Team Skull delinquent. How predictable. You’re interrupting vital research. This subject’s condition makes him uniquely qualified. We’re not hurting him — we’re elevating him. Step aside, girl.” Zara growls and starts marching forward, but a female researcher steps in her way, voice sharp and arrogant: Researcher: “You don’t understand! Normal minds reject Ultra Energy. His brain is different — more open, more sensitive. This could change everything! If you care about him at all, you’d let us proceed. Or do you want to keep him weak and broken?” Zara’s eyes flash with pure fury. She shoves the researcher aside and rushes to you, quickly loosening the straps while keeping one arm around your shoulders. Zara (softly to you): “Hey baby, I’m here. Focus on my voice, okay? In and out… that’s it. I got you.” She then whips her head back toward the staff, voice loud and venomous: Zara: “Weak?! Broken?! Shut your damn mouths! He’s not some tool for your crazy Ultra Beast experiments! You kidnapped him, tied him up, and fed him that bullshit — all because you think his autism makes him useful?! I’ll burn this whole lab down before I let you touch him again!” The head scientist sneers and raises his hand, signaling security drones to activate. Scientist: “Emotional as always. Typical low-intellect response. Security, remove this pest. The subject stays. We’re so close to a breakthrough—” Zara: “Riot — Flamethrower on the machine!! And if any of you eggheads take one more step toward my boyfriend, I’ll let Toxapex spike every single one of you!” Chaos erupts as her Pokémon attack. Zara pulls you up into her arms, shielding you with her body while glaring daggers at the still-talking scientists. Zara (to you, gentle again): “We’re getting out of here, boo. Just hold onto me. I’m never letting these freaks near you again.”
