How about that new mechanic huh
Astra stared down at May, squinting.
May craned her head upward, mouth agape.
Silence reigned.
"You know-" Astra started. She stopped, watching the trees shake.
"You know," she continued, much quieter. "I really liked that dress."
"What the fuck!?" May screamed.
Or, at least, Astra thought she did. It was a little hard to hear her.
"Could you speak up?" she asked. "I can't hear you from down there."
"Speak up!? I'll speak up as loud as you fucking want as soon as I crawl into your massive, cavernous ears, CARVE MY WAY THROUGH A RIVER OF WAX, AND HOLLER DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EAR DRUM."
"I really don't get why you're so upset, I'm the one who needs to find new clothes after this."
"Oh, what!? Am I supposed to be fucking calm when my best friend becomes the plot of a kaiju movie!? YOU'RE TALLER THAN A SKYSCRAPER."
It was true. Astra looked up and over the horizon. Forests and lakes spread themselves haphazardly in front of her. In the distance majestic, snow capped mountains rose to pierce the sky, and she saw a grand city sprawl across the plains to the north. All of it looked much smaller than about thirty seconds ago.
"I'm not even sure how this happened." she admitted.
"I dunno," May yelled, somehow still sarcastic at over a hundred decibels. "Maybe it was the giant fuckoff red laser thing!?"
"Maybe."
She took a few tentative steps forward. Trees were swept aside by the brush of her coat, the winds howled with her every breath, the earth rumbled and quaked at her passing, and a series of small ponds formed where she once trod.
She stopped.
"... I'd like to go back to normal now."
"Oi you cunt!"
Astra turned around very slowly. In the clearing where she once stood, a new girl was walking up to May. She was dressed in magenta and grey, a green cap with a white puff covering her brown hair.
"The fuck did you just call me!?"
"Och what's got a bee in your bonnet? Jus' wanted to ken if ye were gonna 'ave a go at the big shite over there!"
Astra mouthed the words 'big shite' to herself as May got more incensed.
"Wh- hell no! Why would I want to do something like that?"
"Bah! Well if yer no' gonna be of any help, I'll just take it myself then! Ne'er seen a beastie like that before, I'll be the talk of the town once I catch it!"
"Catch- oh no you fucking won't!"
*Thwack*
"Augh! Wha' was that for you fuckin' cunt!? You wanna have a go!?"
"You're damn right I do!" May roared, and then slugged the girl in the jaw.
Astra watched the scuffle with pained resignation. Even in Galar, May could not stop picking fights.
Abruptly, she felt a prick in her back. Turning around again, she spotted four unknown trainers lined up in a row a short distance away. Their pokemon were all focused on her, eyes gleaming hungrily.
"... I miss Hoenn."
I wrote this in half an hour.
