Bond 008 [Action/Event] Victim
He's been watching some award shows back home, so it's no surprise for him to go to the Genessia Awards wearing his usual formal wear. During the whole show, Sycamore is impressed by the awards given to the winners and honorable mentions while sometimes questioning some of the awards such as the Unluckiest Person award. But one of the winners he supported is Sonico as he joined in the applause after she won the Best Singer award.
Once the after party has begun, Sycamore then spends the whole having some conversations and congratulating the winners. So far, it's just a normal night in Genessia. That is until the earthquake and the appearance of the mysterious spirits.
[Action] The Chaos Begins
As the spirits start to attack the guests inside the building, Professor Sycamore wastes no time not only to escape the chaos but also try to help them evacuate the building. He is not alone though as he takes out his Garchomp while helping out a guest and shouts, "Garchomp, Dragon Pulse!"
With one blast of green energy fired from her mouth, some of the spirits fled from the Mach Pokemon, yet it isn't enough to stop the rest of them from attacking them.
[Action] To The Safe House and Mega Evolution
Once he hears David Haller's video feed and telepathy, Sycamore knows that the shelter might be the best way to get away from the spirits, so he quickly heads there immediately. Yet, he is not the type to abandon any endangered residents as uses his time getting to the shelter by helping out some of the residents get to safety while commanding most of his Pokemon to defend them from the spirits. And knowing what the Genessia City Guardian said about these spirits stealing the residents' emotions, he fears his Pokemon's safety as he commands Noir, Graine, and Garchomp to use only ranged attacks to prevent physical contact.
After you try to join in or defend the Pokemon Professor from the spirits, he starts to realize that if he attacks at this pace, no one will escape here alive. "I guess I have no choice then... Garchomp, I think it's time to show our strong bond to these creatures!"
Realizing what her trainer meant, Garchomp quickly rejoined his side as he gives her Mega Stone. Once he did, all that's left is for Sycamore to touch his Key Stone on his watch and shouts, "Now Garchomp, Mega Evolve!"
With a bright light flashed on his Key Stone, Garchomp's Mega Stone starts to shine as several beams fired from both of their stones before they joined together. And after a flash of bright light enveloped the Dragon/Ground-type, Garchomp's appearance has completely changed into a more ferocious version of herself as she roars into the sky.
[Action] The Sacrifice
After the path is cleared, Sycamore continues his way to the shelter as he runs with all of his remaining energy. As for his Garchomp, she is clearly exhausted from using her Mega-Evolved from as she also uses her remaining energy to protect her trainer.
But because of her exhaustion, she ends up tripping on the ground while she tries to protect an injured resident, causing the spirit to use this chance to attack. Of course, Sycamore notices this and quickly rushes in to defend the man and his Mach Pokemon. Unfortunately, his selfless act causes him to be captured by the spirit as well before it quickly absorbs most of his emotions immediately, much to Garchomp's horror.
With Professor Sycamore now as a soulless husk of his former self, he ends up aimlessly wandering around the area or he might try to do something worst like using a broken glass to harm any nearby resident or walking into a dangerous area. Regardless, you may hear Garchomp's wailing in her attempt to call for help.
[NOTES: According to his permissions post, killing him to heal him is a big no-no for me. For now, the objective is that you have to join Garchomp and help her capture Professor Sycamore before he does something reckless or use any healing methods to stop him.]

As for his Garchomp, she is surprised at Ted's explanation regarding her trainer's odd, but dangerous behavior after being touched by those spirits. Yet once she also heard a way to restore his emotions, she is relieved that it's not terminal or permanent.
But while the Mach Pokemon agreed regarding her worries about the Pokemon Professor, she is a little offended on how Ted called him "soul-sucked". Sure, he may try to lighten up the mood, but to her, it might be crossing the line. Then again, she doesn't have time to argue about it as they still need to escort Sycamore to the nearest safehouse.]
You may have a point. Besides, standing around and hurting others won't able to let me find my emotions very easily.
[Unfortunately as he mentions this, he quickly falls to his knees to the ground as he pants very slowly.]
I-I'm tired. I don't know why, but I'm somehow exhausted.
[Guess that's the only thing he felt right now.
But unknown to him, his exhaustion actually come from his bloodied hand, which remains untreated after Garchomp and Ildiko tried to confine him in a car.]
no subject
"Well, of course I do! This isn't my first time dealing with these wretches. Why, last time a dear friend of mine suffered the same fate. So far you're doing far better than he, so count your...Sycamore?"
[And he's just now noticing the laceration Sycamore had, and sees the blood trail he was leaving. Oops! Ted's not the most observant fellow, but he does know his First Aid. In an instant he has out the usual: disinfectant, dressing, and so on.]
"Sorry! I should've paid more attention when you mentioned your hand. This will sting."
[Spritz. The Nova City stuff they had was fast-acting and extremely potent. After that, he cleans and wraps the wound. Heck, he'll even let out Vileplume to use Aromatherapy just for good measure. Mind the spores. It doesn't take very long, owing to Ted's super-speed while he's wearing the costume, but he instructs Garchomp to stand guard anyway.]
"That should tide you over until you see a proper doctor. Still, you don't look much for walking. Shall I carry you? Please say 'yes' or I'll be forced to use more expedient means. I worry we'll earn the spirits' ire if we're too idle."
no subject
While having no emotions may be dangerous for him, it does allow him to withstand the sting without feeling any pain. However, that doesn't mean he can feel exhaustion due to the amount of blood he just lost.]
Do whatever you can do as... As long as I survive this night.
[Unfortunately, their little chat did earn them the spirits' ire as 3 of them appear from the sky, about to attack the two residents and the Mach Pokemon. Of course, not wanting to hurt her trainer again, Garchomp angrily fires a Dragon Pulse to one of the attacking specters.]
no subject
[Garchomp's breath beam, fortunately, alerted him to their presence far faster than Ted would've known on his own. Looks like Sycamore's peril came faster than he thought. He gasps a quick apology, then tries to wrap Sycamore in his life fibers, absorbing him into a personal, endless void of pitch black. He's in no danger, but it is very dark and their isn't much to do. He spares a thought to fashion a guest room in said void so the people he rescues have something to do.
He knows Garchomp won't appreciate seeing her trainer absorbed into Ted, but there's not enough time for much of an explanation.]
"He's safe, don't you worry! Just don't let those things touch you; especially not me!"
[But hey, Garchomp's not the only creature in town with mach speed. He sees one of those inky, writhing spirits wheel in the air, descending on their position. So he shoots four tendrils of thread past the creature, before filling in the space between them as the threads expand. Once he's secured the perimeter of the creature mid-flight, he snaps the threads closed, surrounding and absorbing the creature much like how he absorbed Sycamore. It would find itself in a very far away space in the same void, however. A makeshift prison where they'd be well out of sight and mind.
So Ted's bagged one spirit and Garchomp's blasted another. That left one remaining to try and tackle Ted and eat those delicious emotions of his. His goku uniform is no slouch; he jumps high and away as it dives to attack, leaving a large gap between them. Thinking ahead for once, he leaves a few threads buried underground for a followup attack. Sorry, Garchomp, he'd stand and fight with you if he could, but he's got the professor in tow now. If he gets touched, they're both goners.]
no subject
But once she sees the last spirit about to attack Ted along with some more of them coming their way, Garchomp knows that enough is enough. With that, she quickly fires a purple beam from her mouth to the spirits, which eliminates most of them in the process. In fact, even if some more spirits might try to charge into the duo, they will end up in her powerful Hyper Beam.
Once that's done, Garchomp nods her head, signaling him that the coast is clear and they may now able to head over to the safehouse.]
no subject
"Keep up, Garchomp; or would you like to share a room with him?"
[It was said more as an offer than a threat. He was just as concerned for Garchomp's safety as Sycamore's, and could protect her just as ably if she too were inside. Either way, he makes it to the safehouse in a minute, spilling out Sycamore from the dark threads.]
"We've arrived, and not a second too soon. Garchomp, there needs be some role reversal. You've to look after your trainer now, all right? Keep an eye on him, serve as a makeshift conscience. That sort of thing. His safety is in your...hands? Claws? Fins? Your appendages, at any rate. Just be patient and wait for normalcy to return. Until then, go under the Mercy."
[He'd give a comforting pat on the head, then rush back outside, seeing just how long he could keep up these half-baked heroics.]
no subject
Once they arrived at their destination, she can see Ted releasing Professor Sycamore from his confinement, who is now unconscious from losing some amount of blood from his wound. But despite this, she is relieved that he's safe for now.
Regardless, she bowed her head to Ted as a way to give him thanks before she carries her trainer in the safehouse to rest and figure out how to heal him from his emotionless condition.]
