[nospaces] [attr="class","petalbasetsu4"] [attr="class","star1tsu4"] [attr="class","circleoutline1tsu4"] [attr="class","starimgtsu4"] [attr="class","star2tsu4"] Episode III: Greetings Galar[break][break] The scoured landscape of a dream lies in front of them, a battlefield marred with bodies, blood, and rust. Ten long years of battle come to a head, with King Navidson leading the charge against the poisonous morass. [break][break] Where venom takes life, the fire in his breast brings it back to life. A kingdom in defiance of entropy finally takes its first steps toward eradicating the threat once and for all.[break][break] "Gabe, this is suicidal."[break][break] Baki protests as Gabe makes his way from their chambers to his Charizard's roost. He turns to give her that eternal smile he's so famous for, putting his hand on her shoulder to reassure her.[break][break] "That's why I need to be the one to do it - I'm the only one who can."[break][break] The woman recoils at that, but slowly, she nods in agreement. [break][break] "Baki, I'll need your help getting close. You're our expert on the Sea, Dewford Gym Leader. You can navigate us to the core, can't you?"[break][break] The look of life in his eyes is daunting. Like staring into the sun, it hurts to face him long enough. The way he pierces through her, boils everything she is down to her core, with just a glance… it's uncanny. [break][break] Nevertheless, she refuses to look away.[break][break] "Gabe, what if Ho-oh can't bring YOU back? She affects the world through you, after all. If you die, then…"[break][break] Gabe runs his thumb along her cheek, and she shrinks in his presence. Going against what he says always feels wrong in the moment, no matter how correct it seems when he's not in the room. [break][break] "Put your feelings aside for a moment, think about this rationally. I'm the best option. Everyone has a chance of not coming back, my chances of success are just the highest. It's the best course of action. As King, I owe it to everyone to make the best decision. I have to do The Right Thing."[break][break] Baki freezes, unable to argue. Whatever her heart says, he sees right through it. It's as if being able to read the hearts of living things has desensitized him. He doesn't acknowledge things like fleeting emotions anymore.[break][break] So instead she merely stares back into his eyes, so honest they burn. Just being seen by him, it feels like she's on fire. [break][break] "Besides, Baki. I quit being afraid of death the moment Raikou killed me with a thunderbolt. Not about to start now."[break][break] He rarely speaks of the ashen one he rides into battle. Fierce beyond belief, he is a hollow shell and nothing more to the man. The genuine article resides elsewhere, darting between glens and rivers, delivering thunder wherever he roams.[break][break] Gabe takes her into his arms, steals her lips. Then he turns to climb his Charizard, beckoning Tsubaki to join him.[break][break] "Whatever's right by Galar and Hoenn, Baki. We'll save this world and the next."[break][break] Baki climbs up, feeling his warmth. It's the only thing that's comforting, dread pressing down around her.[break][break]
