“Mmm…” He chews over Matias’s words. “We have an army of legendaries. Just Morales, Dross, and you should be enough in theory…”[break][break]
In theory, as if they’re not talking about a god – one of the children of great Arceus himself, He who created all life. Navy pops open another cola and drinks it. It’s his favored nervous tick. Luckily he gave up the harder stuff, cola serving just as well.[break][break]
“It wasn’t just a black knight that fought him, either. There were two others. They happen to be loose in Hoenn.” He sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “You’ve been doing this way longer than I have. If we can’t attack Mr. Skeleton Dragon while we wait for the council, you have any idea how we could find his mortal enemies, the two heroes?”

"theory will take you only so far."[break][break]

from what he's seen and what he recalls from galar, he doubts the three of them would be enough to take it on.[break][break]

he swallows, suddenly craving a sip of cola as well.[break][break]

"that, i'm not sure about. i hear there may be some already looking for them. perhaps you could group up?"[break][break]

“Thank Arceus.” He says, happy to hear he’s not the only person looking for them. Of course, he has his own thoughts about why others might seek the heroes. He’s met plenty that would love a taste of their power.[break][break]
Reaching into his mini fridge, he pulls out another can and slides it across to Matias. There’s plenty more sugary bubble water where this came from.[break][break]
“Maybe they’ll find ‘em. Maybe they’ll become avatars. Wouldn’t say no to the help of the two heroes and their brand spankin’ new human friends.” A brief pause. “Who’s lookin’ for ‘em?”

but it should not be too hard to guess who might have an interest in them. his colleagues, for example, might want to partner up with deities. which leads him to his next question.[break][break]

“Arceus, Mew, and the angels above, man, fuck no!” He laughs. His grin is still friendly, but the eyes are strained.[break][break]
“People either go crazy lookin’ for a god to pair up with, they lose the power and look like heroin junkies, or it changes ‘em. I’ve seen all three happen to people. Er—no offense. No disrespect to you or Groudon.”

“Here’s hopin’.” Navy says, half a prayer, half a continuation of the conversation. “If they can die, I hope I get to see my Garchomp sink his teeth into the bastard that’s squatting on my town.” How quickly he’s come to take pride in a place beyond his home town. My town, he calls it.[break][break]
“Word on the street is there’ll be a big meeting soon. If you’re serious ‘bout helpin’ out, piercing Eternatus’s heart with a precipice blade, you could always propose somethin’ to the council there. An Elite 4 guy proposing something like that carries a lot of weight.”

he admits with a sigh, not defeated but also not hopeful. though he has grown in his time in galar, he has yet to outrun the supposed sins of his past; whatever those sins might be.[break][break]

"but i'll try my best. i hope they listen. i really do."[break][break]

“Why do you think that?” It’s a simple question. Borderline stupid. Matias is a man that’s easy to know by reputation. It’s easy to read what the tabloids say. Framing the question casually, taking another sip of the cola, he wonders what the man will have to say to that.[break][break]
“You’re an Elite 4. Groudon’s avatar. A damn fine trainer from the footage I’ve seen.”

shades of his past show in the way he speaks, recounting events that once frustrated him.[break][break]

"when i've shared my thoughts in the past, they were met with hesitance, criticism, and judgment. take the situation with annalise henderson as an example. every day we wait, she sits alone in a cell suffering through gods know what. i've pushed and pushed and every time i've been told that it was too risky, that it'd be better to wait."[break][break]

The mention of this woman he does not know makes him uncomfortable. Navy stiffens. There’s something hard in his eyes, like the glint of a gun about to fire. Two women were captured in the battle. Two women in the hands of monsters. Two women the League would not authorize any attempt to rescue.[break][break]
“Fuck politics.” He says while making no move to stand. “We’re at war, and every day we sit around while the circus is in town, Henderson’s life is hanging in the balance.” He’d be lying if he said she was his first concern, but when she’s brought into the focus of his mind’s eye, she’s the center of his world. Women in danger do that to him.[break][break]
“Lars rescued Elinor. Wish we could whip up the baddest batch of Pokemon we both have and storm Sootopolis. Make some gods bleed. Bring her home.” Tilting back in his chair, running a hand through his hair, he breathes out just a few more words.[break][break]
“I just wish they’d all get on the same page. We’re at war.”

“Yeah…” His voice holds onto an uncomfortable note. He seems a man tip-toing with a noose around his neck. Navy’s mind goes to the slopes of Mt. Pyre. Vortigern, the massive Garchomp he calls the black dragon, devoured grunts. He feasted upon them again in Granite Cave.[break][break]
“Too many civvies. I guess that’s something good and bad ‘bout Rocket. If you sign up, you know what you’re getting into.” He has to tell himself. He feels like he’s in a morgue just after Sootopolis was taken over again. Beneath him is his brother’s body.[break][break]
“Wish the League did that, too. How many dumb kids end up dragged into this bullshit.”
