[attr="class","starrytext"]coat off. the only thing that mateo wore upon his top half was his metallic stomach brace. his goggles had been taken from atop of his head and placed upon his coat. the red bandanna normally tied around his left bicep was placed around his forehead for when he needed to wipe off the sweat, but that proved fruitless as his forehead produced just as much. his boots were, too, seen placed beside his clothing.

barefooted, he stood in the flowing water of the lake as a rushing waterfall roared behind. practicing his krav maga and honing his body, mateo had been living in mt. pyre and camping out with his pokemon for three days. his goal was to go for a month living and training out within the wilderness. for now he resided at the bottom of mt. pyre and planned to start traveling first thing next morning.


"hah!" mateo shouted with an extended fist. his pokemon, grovyle and dragonite, were training themselves. fighting one another on shore under a beaming sunny day! for now it was a quiet evening under the orange sky. nothing out of the ordinary.

dahlia desires strength. and although she harbors the grit of resilience within her healing bones, her fragile form yearns for scabs and bruises. crests to toughen the skin. like the jewels of sweat securing mateo's strong body, she seeks to armor herself with the physicality of a survivor. nothing less. her mind is sharp. when unsheathed, her intuition strikes at others' hearts.

she tiptoes down a hill, careful not to skid clumsily down its unforgiving face. on her khaki shorts, smears of dirt and grass betray her amateur skills as a hiker. a pokeball bobs shakily on her waist.

waving widely, she announces her presence as her feet grace the lake's coast: "hello!! i never thought i'd meet a blackthorn gym leader here." she shouts to ensure she is heard over the raging waterfall.

with awe, the commissioner's eyes take in mateo's impressive physique and the fierce dedication of his pokemon underneath the beating sun. her eyes are full and colored with the bright shape of curiosity. an opportunity is here. she takes it, striding gracefully into the water's shallows.

"i have a favour to ask of you- as commissioner, or as a passing admirer. if you don't mind." dahlia says. "i couldn't help but notice... how strong you look. you could strangle someone with those arms!" she coos, drawing a golden curl behind her ear. "if you could teach me a thing or two about hand-to-hand, i'd sincerely appreciate it... mr. martinez."

[attr="class","starrytext"]"huh?!" a surprise appearance from the commissioner herself: . hoenn's most valued league member and superior authority. mateo was frozen in his stance. sceptile and dragontie, amongst their own training, would come to a halt to view the exchange that was occurring between their trainer and the newcomer.

"ms. goode?!" mateo called. he listened to her spiel, trying to gain a sense of it all. it was a bit confusing that someone like herself needed to know anything. in all honesty it secretly made him feel bashful. he'd scratch the back of bushy hair, trying to figure out a response. "i don't know, commissioner. i mean, for starters, isn't it a bit dangerous for you to be out and about on your own? aren't those team airplan--" he'd pause, reevaluating the end of his statement, "--those rocket(?) guys always lurking around hoenn. it'd be bad if you ran into them." little did mateo know, she'd already once been kidnapped.

"besides, i'm sure there're way better people qualified, commissioner." mateo spoke within a low tone, head shifted to the side in an attempt to avoid eye contact. how could he say no to someone like dahlia?! honestly, his palms were sweating as he tried his best to keep his composure. "i mean..." he'd whisper underneath his breath, "there may be one or two things i could show you."

dahlia laughs, thin fingers spread wide over her brightly parted lips. cute. his concern is sweet to the taste, almost innocent in the way that it sounds, like spritely trills over the region's symphonic drama. yet, there is truth to his words. why is she out here? she's putting herself in danger yet again-- at least, many would say.

however, it wouldn't happen again. she gambled last time. this time, her heels dig a little bit deeper into the lake's sands. ripples mark her confident stance and echo across the surface like a proclamation.

"i can take care of myself quite well." dahlia says. her hand cups the side of her face. "contrary to popular belief- but that doesn't mean i can't get help."

before pursuing mateo, she throws one pokeball, casting a dratini out. the small dragon takes a reverent look at mateo's dragonite before squealing into splashes.

"oo! this water is cold!" she wades towards him, arms spread apart to balance herself. "anyway! one or two things you could show me... i'd love to know! and in return i'll i could owe you a favour, perhaps? maybe a sponsorship... an endorsement like they do in galar?"

[attr="class","starrytext"]what a reckless and carefree woman. mateo was curious as to how someone like her was a commissioner, maybe her skills didn't expose themselves in times of peace. thinking about it, what if she was really strong? stronger than even a ginormous dragon. it gave him shivers just thinking about what sort of internal thoughts the woman was filled with. so was it good to deny her?

let's not take that chance.

"a-alri--" she'd call out a dratini. "oh?! a dratini!" his attention was taken aback by the small dragon-type. examining the pokemon, he'd gently stroke underneath the pokemon's chin and then the the nape of its neck. "so healthy," standing to face . mateo's expression became one of determination. with a fierce nod and furrowed brows, he'd shout, "you have what it takes!" saluting the blonde female, he'd look over toward dragonite, exclaiming, "bo het (come here), dragonite." mateo uttered a strange word. his dragonite, afterwards, came.

"we should probably get you out of the window and onto shore, it's not very suitable for shoes like those." mateo nervously chuckled. escorting her to shore, had she no objection of leaving the water, mateo would assist in her getting out. "i don't know if this is my duty or me talking. but you and that dratini have a pretty nice bond. i can feel it, you treat it well." which meant dahlia was no nefarious person, which made him feel calm oddly.

"meaning i have no problem teaching or helping you at all, plus it's against my duty as a former guardian to turn you away. especially when you wield a dragon before me. meaning i'm damn near obligated to help you." ruffling the hair on his head. it'd been sometime since he'd actually helped someone. "ahhhh, alright!" smacking the cheeks of his face. mateo began to perform a series of calisthenics, his body moved up and down as he swung his arms, chanting, "we can do this, we can do this, we.can.do.this!" dragonite followed behind.

"yosh, here we go!" turning to and dragonite to dratini. "so you want to perfect your hand-to-hand combat, aye?" thinking about what would be a good start for his female companion. he'd snap his finger, okay, "i know what to show you. self-defense is our greatest ally, but it never hurts to have a little offense." raising his arms, he'd say, "start by raising your arms, we'll work on getting you into a proper stance. you wanna stand fairly upright with a high guard and arms extended from your face; all while keeping your weight on the back right leg and light in the front leg."

her dratini finds a fondness in mateo's touch. an immediate attunement. as expected from a blackthorn draconid, she thinks. the commissioner wonders too, if she can tame the dragons around her.

as the cold water sinks into her shoes, dahlia shudders with an excitement. an excitement spawned from the smashing of elegance. of posture and poise. what worth was there living a life of absolute grace in a pokemon world? and yet, she takes mateo's gesture and walks ashore.

"oh, graham and i are close like this!" dahlia crosses her fingers to which the dratini affirms loudly.

with a hop onto shore, dahlia crosses mateo's path to shuffle over to a proper spot on the gravelly shore. brightly, she thanks him before mirroring the smacking of his cheeks. at a lower intensity of course, a gentler power. she pats her cheeks as if she were dabbing sunscreen.

"okay, okay!" dahlia raises her thin arms and grounds herself, her shoes squelching with lake water. her form isn't as loose. more crafted. stiff. like origami edges. "before we go on any further... i've wanted to ask you... mr. martinez, why do you train so hard when you have your dragons to fight for you?"

her immature dratini coils up in the shallows as the water cups its pale blue body.

[attr="class","starrytext"]"now--" before he could continue, she'd ask him a question. "eh? why do i train so hard?" posing such a question brought back a sudden twinge in the back of his head. as if someone pinched apart of his brain. a memory playing, he'd return to reality soon after.

a soft smile overcame his expression.

standing straight, arms crossed, he'd answer, "my mother, amara martinez, is from here and was born among the draconid people. my father, ladon drake, was the head of the drake clan back in blackthorne. currently the head of the drake clan is suppose to be me, but my grandfather remains in my stead as head due to my father passing early around the time i turned twelve." she probably wondered why he wasn't the current head or back in johto, so he'd fill in the gaps as best as he could. "my grandfather returned as acting head for my sake. i was, after all, too young, still far from the title of 'dragon master', and i was a grieving boy who'd just lost his father." dragonite stood by sceptile and dahlia's young dratini.

"anyway, i was a pretty troublesome kid. hardheaded, abrasive, and impatient," the him now is far more tamed than his younger self. the embarrassing stories he had. "before my father passed, he told me that you never stop growing. once you reach your goal, your adventure shouldn't stop there. when i became a dragon master and gym leader of blackthorne, i felt something was missing." thinking about it, he'd remember , "there was this stupid jerk that came to challenge my gym. battling him was pretty fun--intense even! the challengers who came for my badge pior didn't really give me the excitement i sought, i felt that i'd reached my father's level. that there was no more room for growth, but it wasn't until that one specific trainer showed me that there's always room for growth. that there are amazing trainers out there who were strong--even stronger than me. i thought raw power was all i needed to become the strongest in hoenn, but there's more to that."

that's right, he remembered an important lesson after that battle. "there's more to battling than just two pokemon going at it. when i'm in a battle it's as if..." he'd look to dragonite and then sceptile, "i feel this warm, fuzzy, hot feeling inside of me during an intense battle. like i'm resonating with my pokemon. when they fight, i fight with them in spirit. when they train, i train with them in body, mind, and soul. when they get hurt, i feel resonate with their pain. when they're tired, it's my job to enable them with strength." he examined the palm of his hand, gripping his fist tightly.

"my father wasn't able to teach me everything i needed to know, but i want to surpass him as a dragon master; all while learning those things on my own. i never got to beat him in a battle or officially challenge him, but i know that just like the man from the dragon king's tale, there's a greater challenge waiting for me here in hoenn." his gaze returned to dahlia, "i train hard so that i don't fail my team. i need to be in tiptop shape when it's time for us to face the king of dragons!" eyes lit like stars, he was even more excited thinking about the tale. a goal he had since he was a child, his desire as a dragon master was to fight against the legendary beast from the tale--though he, obviously, didn't fully believe in it wholeheartedly. he hoped that, in some strange way, that it was true.

but that was highly unlikely. "anyway, i threw a lot at you. but as you can see i have a plethora of reasons why i have to be strong. i can't become the dragon king without defeating or taming the strongest dragon in the world--wherever that may be." this world was vast and wide, new pokemon emerged through discovery everyday. you never what's around the riverbend. "if i can't defeat the opponents here in hoenn, then there's no point in me being here."

a large grin sprouted upon his face. he'd, then, offer dahlia a thumbs up, "i'm waging war with everyone in this region--especially the current champion. i'm going to fight them, take their crown, and find the strongest fighters of this region and fight them as well, all while hunting for the king of dragons." honestly, whichever came first and quicker. he had a lot on his plate, but he was confidant. it would take sometime to achieve his goal, but slow and steady won the race.

little did mateo know, there was a lot happening and things he'd been unaware of. such as the current champion stepping down being one of them. he had no idea who they even were, but he had high enthusiasm about their strength. just thinking about it got him fired up.

luckily for mateo, dahlia is a practiced listener. unlike the dratini that playfully circles the dragonite's thick legs, she remains calm. she lets mateo's story flow to her like the calmest breeze.

this is nice. it feels genuine. far from the pretense of politics, mateo's rambling is an earnest unraveling. and here, dahlia feels like a lone child. not lost, but enamoured with the carousel horse before her, which galloped free from its bolted pole.

she laughs. "oh, throw more! believe me when i say you're more interesting than some of the keynote speakers i've had to listen to." dahlia rolls her eyes dramatically, her blond curl following the swing of her head.

the mention of a dragon king piques her interest; however, the familiarity of such a myth fades from her memory, if it were even there. but mateo's fire kindles a new belief in her.

"if you didn't already know, mateo-- is it okay if i call you mateo?" she continues. "our current champion stepped down. but we do have a temporary replacement... alexander stone."

dahlia returns the thumbs up, biting her tongue so that the tip extends past her lips.

"but maybe you can topple him." dahlia clasps her hands together with a crisp clap. a conniving look flashes across her face, as if she had been struck with a chess player's epiphany. "after all, i think you're quite deserving of an endorsement."

[attr="class","starrytext"]"please, by all means!" he began to flail. between their conversation. dragonite began to play with the small dratini. it reminded him of his time when he was young, back then mateo was grooming the dragon before it could even utter its own name. such wonderful, though horrifying, memories.

"alexander...stone?" a name that rung a bell. "that guy!" the one he recently fought sometime ago. his jaw became agape, mateo was shocked. "that guy?!" he repeated. he fought the guy with the crazy mienshao! "who would've thought he'd be chosen to become the next champion." the word 'temporary' went out the window.

an intense, shaky smile donned his face. was that guy holding back his true strength? if he were chosen as the next champion. that must means he's seriously packing some raw power. the thought of fighting him made the dragon master want to squeal like a victreebell. "an endorsement?!" ah man, the first thing he'd want is a giant stadium to fight and go crazy in! oh and a new jacket with the emblem of those he's being endorsed by. what a dream really.

"commissioner goode you're too much!" mateo bashfully grinned. "i'm happy to meet so many strong trainers in this region. but the one thing i'm not all that happy about is that i keep missin' out on the action that's been occurring these past few months." arms over his head, he'd sigh, "hoenn's got a lot happening. back at home we never had wild stuff like 'pokemon that look like aliens' and stuff. this is one hell of a year..." and it was only going to get crazier.

dahlia allows mateo to rage. to expel draconic breath and flames, forged from the blazing depths of his thorned den. his hoard must house diamonds. blackened if not charred. even the tarnished gem retains value should it be unique.

"oh, be careful of what you wish for!"

dahlia casts the mention of the year away, the gossamer of her traumas falling like bricks of paperwork in the forsaken distance.

"listen, mateo. i want to place my eggs in a select few baskets." dahlia says, quickly pulling a report from the paper stacks in her mental office. "hoenn plans on instating an official league. it's about time."

dahlia snaps her fingers, "and a man of your calibre, coming all the way from blackthorn... i've done my research, and i'd think you'd be a good fit for what we have planned." she keeps it relatively cryptic, despite the obvious context behind her words. "i'd love to endorse you. have your back. quite literally. we can stitch an insignia of the league on the back of your coat!"

her dratini accompanies her thrill with a immature chirp.

seasons die one after another

[attr="class","starrytext"]"wha--..." was she for real? dragonite and sceptile would look at one another. mateo never expected, in a million years, to have been chosen for such an occasion. there were probably many others better qualified than him, people who were on par or above. "to be endorsed would actually be pretty great!" he could use this.

being endorsed meant he'd be given a responsibility to fight stronger battles. more fights means greater strength. he was getting excited about this. "yes, please!" prostrating himself. he'd gladly accept this offer. "i'm definitely gonna hold this position with honor." his power was acknowledged. surpassing the gym leaders of this region in such a short amount of time, even though he'd yet to claim no more than four badges, currently heading for his fifth badge, the demon badge, right after this.

"i'm going to train even harder than ever. i'll make sure your decision won't be a regret, i'll even outdo the champion of this region. i'm going to be..." that's right. a memory hit him in the back of his head. something he'd long forgotten before coming to this region--his reason. "...a hero of this place." he stated, lifting himself from the ground all the while.

"i won't let you down, dahlia!" mateo grinned.

"you might've already realized, but we track who graduates through the system."

in her mind, dahlia filters through the papers, the documents, the reports like a file cabinet thrusting its drawers out like outstretched arms. for a moment, the fresh air is too fresh. almost causes a headache for the office-addled psyche.

"and so far, you've blown through our gyms like a tornado. then again, i suppose... you were a gym leader previously. are you a prodigy, maybe?"

her skin remembers the cold of the water while her dratini plays. the commissioner hides a blush with a big smile.

"oh, you won't! you better not."

dahlia darkens for a brief shadow of a second before casting the utterance in jest. quickly, she dawns and replies with a firm nod.

"just kidding! one warning of caution though. people might deride you as being a foreign talent... but talent is talent. we need some fresh dragon blood in hoenn anyway." she pulls out her poryphone. "if you don't mind... let's exchange numbers, ok? keep in touch."
