The day when Professor Ash's device is completed and she attempts to return the Giant Shrine to the Steppes appears to be drawing near, so naturally, ever so helpful Tuesday will do what she can to bring in as many Steel type PokĂŠmon as she needs! So nice! It totally has nothing to do with the bytes the Professor has offered for every Steel type brought it.
Who are we kidding? It's mostly about the Bytes.
<'You know that you're way heavier now that you look different, right?'> Orm tells her when he takes off with her on his back, slithering through the air a few metres over the vast plains that is Asper's third route.
"Rude, uncalled for, and only slightly true. Don't be a brat." The Alchemist responds, patting his side. Of course, Orm laughs.

<'So... What are we gonna do with our time once the professor is no longer paying for Steel types?'> Orm asks then, keeping a close eye on their surroundings as they make their way to their usual destination: the place where the Giant Shrine had once been.
"Hmm....Keep making Bytes and keep getting stronger. Dr Bunya did want help with collecting samples at Mistra, but she's not paying."
<'Didn't the professor tell you not to go there?'>
"Yeah, and I really don't wanna deal with anymore corruption, but... it could be interesting."

The Steppes are peaceful today, or well, as peaceful as the Steppes can get... Dark clouds loom in the distant, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder, and when the winds come, they smell of ozone and rain.
But, beneath?
Beneath grass blades simply sway, the only PokĂŠmon in sight being a female Nidoran that runs to hide in the nearest burrow.

Of course she's prepared for it to take a while, because Tuesday knows how these hunting trips usually tend to go. However, she also knows that sometimes fate dictates that prey is found sooner than later, and maybe, just maybe, she's hoping that today is a day like those.
So, when they spot the remnants of what was once the shrine's hallowed ground, she keeps a close eye for signs of steel; be it a dragon, Klink, or Magnemite.

What she spots instead is a Nosepass. Close enough, but they can't all be winners, right?
"Let's circle around here for a while and search." She tells Orm, still mounted on his back and holding onto the saddle. She watches the ground, hoping to at least find some tracks.
<'Sure. It's much better than going underground. I barely fit in those tunnels.'>

And so they search the actually-quite-large area once occupied by the shrine. It had been enormous, after all. Steel rising high up into the air like a skyscraper or something... Or, well... It still is, but it's just that it's not here right now.
It's up there. Higher than what she can see.
Sometimes, Tuesday thinks she can see the way it reflects light, but she may also just be imagining it. And, ironically enough, she's in the process of testing this thought out when her attention is caught by a nearby sound.

<'Duraludon!'>
"Oh shit. Duraludon?"
<'Yes, Duraludon! Southeast!'>
"Alright, Orm. You know what to do!" Tuesday grins like a child on Christmas morning, which is ironic, because Mars has always hated such a holiday. Is it the prospect of bytes that excites her or the battle itself? Both, honestly.
She reaches for her spear, readying it, and when the Dragonair dives towards the unsuspecting Duraludon with a DRAGON RUSH, she herself is ready to jab the spear into it. She speaks as soon as steel meets duralumin:
"ALEXA."
The command is irrevocable, as unshakable as the spear itself: now frozen in midair and jab right into a Duraludon that can't get away. Their trap is sprung. It's time to fight.

"I really need to stop running into you like this." Says a nearby voice; that of the man who sits on a rock and gives Tuesday an acknowledging nod. Still, that statement doesn't mean he won't help with the battle, and this time it's his pair of Espurr that are summoned to attach the Duraludon.
They're both here for the same reason and they both know as much too, after all. It could be called dĂŠjĂ vu, expect it has definitely happened before.

"Looks like your little kitties aren't very good at this, pretty boy." Tuesday teases when seeing Yuze and watching the way his Espurr miss their shot. "Can't even hit a trapped Duraludon."
She's only teasing, of course.
With her spear now being used to hold the duralumin beast back, she jumps down to the ground, unsheathing the dagger of blackened metal. The Dragonair's slender body goes back up once she has dismounted, circling low over the Duraludon and summoning a downpour.

She looks different from what Yuze remembers: taller, armoured, fluffier tail. However, she still acts the same, so it's definitely the same player. That and the fact that she clearly recognizes him, appears as a friend in his map, and has the same name, all things which make the truth unquestionable.
"They're new at this, give them a break." He quirks a brow, nodding for the Espurr to attack again. While it's trapped by Tuesday's spear, they attempt to use their psychic energy to compress it as if it were a car turned into a little cube of metal at a junkyard.
"Not so bad yourself. I like the armor and the spear trick."

"Ha! Are you flattering me so I don't bug you about leeching off my kills?" Tuesday jokes, giving Yuze a smirk.
But, see, the thing is that Tuesday isn't much for just standing around and watching her PokĂŠmon fight, so while Orm and the Espurr keep their prey distracted, she too strikes with her oh-so-sharp dagger.
That's when the Duraludon lets out a high pitch METAL SOUND, making all their ears ring until it feels like they might bleed.

"ĐйаŃи." The sound is jarring. Dizzying, even. To the point that if it weren't for the fact that Yuze was already sitting down, he would have to do so the moment he hears it. He does put a hand on the rock to ground himself, and he has no idea how Tuesday is left standing. Probably sheer willpower.
One good thing comes out of it, though: it pisses the fuck out of the Espurr, resulting on them raising their ears and unleashing all their out-of-control psychic energy. Which, honestly, might also harm them.

"Ugh."
It is willpower. Pure fucking determination and grit. It is teeth grinding to bite back the pain and a change in stance so her knees wont buckle. She needs to stay standing. If she doesn't, it will be harder to get back to the fight. So, instead of taking a moment to catch her breath, Tuesday charges once again.
"Orm!"
She also doesn't allow her Dragonair the luxury of a break, urging him to charge with her. He does, of course, rushing the Duraludon.

Once the pain begins to fade, Yuze watches with curiosity, a part of him admiring her grit and another thinking she's an idiot for acting so recklessly. Still, the battle could have dragged on for way longer had it not been for her actions.
"I've never heard one those make that sound before. Does it usually happen when you trap them?" He asks when standing up and reaching for his golden PokĂŠball. He chucks it at the unconscious dragon, then looking at Tuesday in wait for her response.
