Sirius

> *You know already. We are Team Meteor. And we do not relent.*

**Paul Clark**, commonly known under his codename **Sirius**, is an admin of Team Meteor and the main instigator for many of their missions.

Sirius is a cruel and sadistic Team Meteor admin who will not hesitate to kill anyone in his way. He is absolutely ruthless and cold to everyone regardless of what rank or state they are in. Sirius firmly believes that full commitment and sacrifice is needed to complete their goals, no matter what the consequences are.

## Story Events

### Mosswater Industrial

Sirius is first encountered at Mosswater Industrial, although he is not named until later. Once the player, Fern, Florinia, and Julia make their way to the back room of the facility, he dismisses the group's efforts at infiltration by claiming they were allowed to access the factory. He then battles Florinia and Julia alongside Ace while the player and Fern fight Aster and Eclipse before retreating when Aster and Eclipse are defeated.

### Dr. Connal's Orphanage

After the player defeats Dr. Connal and escapes the Lapis Ward Orphanage, Sirius is briefly shown approaching the doctor with an offer of mutual assistance (and is still unnamed at this point).

Once the player defeats Shade, Sirius can be seen waiting for the door in the Underground Railnet to open before capturing the orphanage group, with the exception of Cain who manages to escape. He is then formally named when a fellow Meteor asks about letting Cain go, before an unnamed Meteor Agent drops by to inform Sirius of recent promotions within the team and to warn him to "know his place".

### Yureyu HQ

Once the player and Cain reach the top floor of the Yureyu HQ, they find Sirius, who has stolen the Amethyst Pendant from Anna. He taunts Anna about knowing her father, then (only if the player chose not to fight Sigmund on the floor below) battles the player and Cain. He then grabs Anna and holds her hostage until Cain offers up the Emerald Brooch that he found on Azurine Island, trading the brooch for Anna's life.

Cain, Anna, and the player then leave, followed by Sigmund if he had been fought earlier. Sirius then realizes that the brooch is a fake made of the explosives material verdignite before it explodes.

### Belrose Manse

Sirius appears again as part of the group sent to reclaim the children at the Belrose Manse.

If the player did not fight Sigmund at Yureyu, Sirius arrives after the player defeats Sigmund and rants about Saphira attacking his men and how Cain and the player tricked him with the fake brooch. He then tells the player that he will go upstairs while Sigmund stays downstairs before asking the player who they will stop. Choosing "Sirius" will cause him to briefly interact with Saphira and call her cheap before leaving after Sigmund captures Charlotte and Shelly. If the player chooses to stop Dr. Connal, Sirius will briefly go upstairs, only to capture Saphira after she hyper-beams Connal through the wall of the mansion.

If the player fought Sigmund at Yureyu, Sigmund will enter the mansion first, only to head upstairs while leaving the player to fight two orderlies. Sirius then will arrive fight the player himself after ranting about Saphira attacking his men and Cain and the player tricking him with the fake brooch. A scream from Laura is then heard upstairs, to which Sirius asks whether the player will stay downstairs or go upstairs to help. If the player goes upstairs, Sirius leaves silently while Sigmund captures Laura. If the player stays downstairs, Sirius briefly interacts with Saphira and calls her cheap, before leaving after Sigmund captures Noel and Anna.

### Tanzan Meteor Base

After the player and Saphira (and optionally Laura, if Saphira was captured) make it to the back room of the Tanzan Meteor Base, Sirius shows up to report that Lin is coming to visit, before complaining about how fast she has risen through the ranks of Team Meteor. He then tells ZEL to use PULSE Abra to teleport the group of heroes away, where they end up in the Tanzan Depths.

After the player returns to the same room and defeats the PULSE Abra, Sirius comes back to inform Sigmund and ZEL that Lin has arrived. He is surprised to see the player there, and blames the PULSE Abra's termination solely on the player despite the fact that ZEL let it happen. During Lin's visit, Sirius blames her for setting up the fake Emerald Brooch, only to lose his composure slightly when Lin asks for evidence, then questions his competence and loyalty. Sirius then lets the player leave after Lin departs to deal with the Steelix attacking the base.

### LCCC

Sirius appears again in the LCCC after Aya and the player defeat Aster & Eclipse. After Eclipse quits Team Meteor and turns off the machine controlling the PULSE Clawitzer, she begins to explain how Team Meteor wasn't always this bad before Sirius and Lin started rising through the ranks. She is interrupted, however, by Sirius arriving and sending out his Chandelure to attack her and drain her soul. As he attempts to do the same to the player, Aya pushes them out of the way, causing Sirius to take her as a hostage before leaving with Aster.

### Calcenon City

In Calcenon City shortly after the player's first arrival, Aya is dragged in front of the barrier by Sirius in an attempt to bargain the Ruby Ring for her life. After Saphira refuses, Hardy tells the player to give the ring to Sirius, asking Saphira if she'd still refuse had one of her sisters been captured. Charlotte then arrives and asks the player if they'd trade her for the ring. Either choice will result in Charlotte grabbing the ring and pretending to run off so that she can give it to Team Meteor. Sirius then says that he'll send someone to meet with Charlotte before dragging Aya back to Labradorra City.

### Fiore Mansion

Sirius appears again when Team Meteor attempts to steal the Sapphire Bracelets from Amaria at the Fiore Mansion. He pretends to hold Fern hostage, asking Florinia to trade the bracelets for his life, to which Florinia refuses. After Fern and Blake are defeated, he will attack Florinia with his Seviper if Solaris was defeated atop Pyrous Mountain. Once Solaris has been defeated, Sirius will attempt to burn the mansion down with his Chandelure, but is stopped when Titania floods the house. Team Meteor then retreats.

### Agate City

Sirius's next appearance is during Team Meteor's attack on Agate City, where he accompanies Solaris, as well as Taka if the player chose to fight him at the Water Treatment Center. Solaris demands to take on the player alone once they and Hardy have defeated the team's grunts.

* Zekrom Route
* Reshiram Route/Mixed Route

After the player defeats Solaris, Sirius remarks that "perhaps a soft bite runs in the family", to which Taka responds by sending out his Chatot to free Ciel and Samson. Solaris reprimands Taka for his defiance, causing him to flee to the north with Sirius and Solaris following.

After the player defeats Solaris, Sirius taunts him about his failure, eventually revealing to him that Taka was killed with the player witnessing his last moments. Sirius then begins lambasting Solaris's leadership abilities, after which Solaris flees to the north.

### Victory Road

Sirius is first seen near the entrance of Victory Road alongside Blake, Fern, and a captive Aya, but he quickly moves ahead leaving Blake behind to attack the player with icicles.

In the next major room of Victory Road, Sirius is then seen alongside Fern when Fern attacks the player with arrows from his Decidueye. When Aya objects to hurting the player and says that Lin wouldn't approve, he threatens her before revealing that Team Meteor is stalling for time so that Lin can finish a PULSE.

Sirius is next found in the lower chamber of the Ruby Branch of Victory Road, again holding Aya hostage. When the player arrives, Charlotte and Hardy are already present, but have not figured out how to save Aya without getting hurt.

* Zekrom Route/Mixed Route
* Reshiram Route

After Charlotte lectures Hardy about his inability to do anything to save Aya out of fear, Sirius mentions that he expected Charlotte to be here for a specific reason. He then reveals that he, not Charlotte, was the one behind the fire at the Belrose Manse that killed Charlotte's parents. Charlotte then leaves after giving a brief response.

Saphira then arrives and manages to get Aya free of Sirius before he battles the player. After Sirius is defeated, he wonders aloud how he can live with his sins, to which Saphira responds by pushing him into the surrounding lava where he dies.

After Charlotte lectures Hardy about his inability to do anything to save Aya out of fear, Titania arrives to back Charlotte up. Titania then tells her younger brother that he's been trying to save Aya out of self-interest, to which Sirius responds by telling the group that nothing will change since even Saphira failed to save Aya and fell into the mountains. Sirius then reveals that he, not Charlotte, was the one behind the fire at the Belrose Manse that killed Charlotte's parents (and that he thought Charlotte knew); Charlotte gives a brief response before leaving.

Titania then realizes how the Sapphire Bracelets ended up in the ashes where she found them before Sirius informs her that they've ended up in Meteor's hands in any case when the player handed them over at the Glass Workstation. She next calls Aya out as the only person who can save herself, despite Aya's objections, before Aya collapses and Titania lectures Sirius about not giving Aya water and causing her to get heat exhaustion. The player then battles Sirius.

After Sirius is defeated, he wonders aloud how he can live with his sins before Saphira arrives and pushes him into the surrounding lava where he dies.

 [Sirius]: Strange, isn't it? We needed only ensnare Ruby, and we caught Amethyst, too.
[Anna]: That's my pendant! Give it back, please! It's the only thing I have left of my father...
[Sirius]: Your father gave this to you?
[Sirius]: He always was a fool.
[Anna]: You knew my dad?
[Sirius]: Heh.
[Cain]: Heyy buddy, I think you should give the girl her stuff back~

[Sirius]: This Amethyst Pendant and the other girl's Ruby Ring...
[Sirius]: Do you have any inkling of their power?
[Sirius]: I will NOT relinquish such items for mere sentimentalities.
[Sirius]: You want them? See if you can claim them.

 [Sirius]: Well, I'm through with these games.

[Anna]: H-he took something that's part of my soul...
[Cain]: Shhh, it's gonna be 'kay, 'kay?

[Sirius]: Gone.
[Sirius]: Dead for all I know.

[Sirius]: You... <player>. Don't you DARE stand in my way.

 [Sirius]: So you have fight in you still.

[Sirius]: ...Oh? Sounds like someone upstairs has been hurt...
[Sirius]: I wonder, <player>... Will you rush upstairs to help her, and let me loose? Or will you abandon your friend to keep me frozen? {Go upstairs/Stay downstairs}

 [Dr. Sigmund]: Laura.
[Laura]: Doctor......
[Dr. Sigmund]: It's been some time.
[Dr. Sigmund]: I trust you're doing well despite your refusal to remain in treatment.
[Laura]: Doctor, I'm of legal age now.
[Laura]: You have no authority over me.
[Laura]: And this is my house, so please leave.
[Dr. Sigmund]: If only I was here for you.
[Dr. Sigmund]: Come on, I think you know that as well as I.
[Dr. Sigmund]: Now where are the others hiding?
[Dr. Sigmund]: Shall I take a look?
[Laura]: I can't let you do that!
[Dr. Sigmund]: So that's how it is.
[Dr. Sigmund]: Electivire.
[Laura]: Lilligant, I need your help!
[Laura]: Doctor, you know just as well as anyone that I am a member of the Elite 4.
[Laura]: Please do not believe you can defeat me.
[Dr. Sigmund]: Lizzy, Lizzy...
[Dr. Sigmund]: I know... Yes, I know.
[Laura]: Pardon?
[Dr. Sigmund]: I will do what must be done for your sake.
[Laura] I won't hesitate anymore.
[Laura]: Lilligant, let's make sure we can end this quickly! Quiver Dance, please!

[Dr. Sigmund]: Now, Thundershock-- on Laura herself.
[Laura]: Aaaaaaah!
[Dr. Sigmund]: Now step aside.
[Dr. Sigmund]: ...No response?
[Dr. Sigmund]: I will apologize.
[Dr. Sigmund]: That was probably not the voltage you are used to.

 [Sirius]: Hmph. All right, waste your time with me while the Doctor has his way.
{Saphira enters area}
[Sirius]: Y-you!
[Saphira]: Me.
[Saphira]: Peakaboo.
[Saphira]: Did you think you could take me out that easily?
[Saphira]: On the other hand, I hear your Team quite enjoyed my little light show.
[Sirius]: You just rely on cheap strikes.
[Sirius]: It's because you're too weak to fight on equal footing.
[Saphira]: Is that a dare? Or a double dare?
*{Sirius faces away}*
[Sirius]: ...Hm?
[Sirius]: ...Oh, good.
[Sirius]: I've been informed that the Doctor was successful in capturing two of his children.
[Sirius]: That's my cue to leave. I'll look forward to NOT seeing you again.
*{Sirius exits area}*
[Saphira]: ...Sigmund...
[Saphira]: ...Charlotte! Laura! Where are you?!
[Charlotte]: Saphira! We're in the kitchen! Is it safe?
