she slips her hand into his and for once he doesn't mind it. as she leads him ahead, keeping him close in tow, he listens to her speak with interest as his eyes move with her words: he sees the dress shop and feels a pang of nostalgia because he recognizes it, too.

"you have plenty, but i'll buy you more." 

then the little park; and from it comes two pokemon. he watches with keen interest at how she interacts with the glameow. he sees through the cat; it's playing the pity card but she's happy, so he doesn't say anything.

"of course. do you have an empty pokeball?" he waits until she pulls one out. "just tap it gently." he lets her do it and once she does, he smiles.

he forces himself to; for her.

without their precious commissioner, the league is left in shambles; forced to rebuild in dire times under leadership that's forced and unready. it just makes things easier for rocket; makes things easier for silas, but that's not the full reason of why he targeted the league hq because things aren't that simple. people are complicated: feelings and emotions and history makes things complicated. it makes things tricky.

silas has shed himself from most complications. most.

the one that he can't seem to shed sits across from him, unconscious under a deep HYPNOSIS. when she awakens, she'll be met with the sight of an intense spiritomb exerting its PRESSURE. its eyes seek to haunt as its hundred-and-eighteen spirits call out to her.

their voices are almost audible.

DREAM EATER wasn't an order but spiritomb executes it out of habit. it isn't until silas fully enters the scene that spiritomb stops and fades away into the darkness.

"wake up, dahlia." 

she'll look around; that's expected. she's tied up against a chair, isolated from the rest of the world but there is comfort in it because around her, if she's keen enough, is a sight that's familiar.

slateport's famous night market, or what's left of it. broken carts are scattered, plush toys are ripped into pieces, there's not much left that resembles a tourist attraction.

he towers over her. "do you remember this place?" he asks a similar question to when they met in the light house. he remembers it far too well because to some, the night market could have been considered their first date.

"i miss it."

SPOILER: Click to show

in many ways, the slateport invasion was a success. but in some, known only to him and him alone, the failures almost rival the victories.  the power plant: destroyed. nothing left of the generator to be used which means slateport is useless. the docks: its shipyard master, gone. his own sister is among the many who have failed. and today, he'll make her pay for it.

his visits to her room are infrequent but she knows to expect him. she must always be ready to.

the door closes behind him. his stare intimidates and makes her cower.

"you failed again." 

he takes a step forward, looming over her despite his short frame. "you know what happens now, don't you?"

the low but audible SNARL is what snaps him out of it. he tenses up, immediately assuming guard as he shifts onto his feet. deux does the same: his mane glows with a CHARGE that's volatile in nature. 

it seems as though the world doesn't want him here. it wants him in kanto, in rocket, where he belongs because that's his birthright.

that's all he ever will be.

the realization is saddening; it brings a tear to his eye but he blinks it away because it's a sign of weakness, and weakness was beat out of him long ago.

whistle.

deux ends the battle before it even begins.

perhaps he could have felt guilty in a different time, in a different life, but in this one he feels a clear absence of it. he makes her cry. he makes her yearn for the past and yet he doesn't console her. he piles on and continues to weigh her guilt against her until it breaks her.

but they both know she won't break. not that easily.

"i see why people betray me: it's because you appeal to their humanness. you use kindness and sympathy to relate to them and when they're at their weakest, you strike. you use them. anything for the good of the league." 

her warning doesn't make him cower.

"am i right, dahlia?" 

he knows he is. the wound in his back is still fresh; left so violently by . there'll be another one soon, but he won't be expecting it.

there's nothing left to be said.

"they'll die." 

he stands his ground because that's what he does best. he's stubborn, lost in his own upbringing to know anything else. she makes her departure and he doesn't stop her.

it won't be the last time they see each other.

there cannot be light without darkness; the opposite is also true: a balance isn't needed but the presence of each is at least required, even if in small amounts. without light, there'd be nothing left to live for; a world of darkness and despair sounds miserable, even for someone like silas.

there is a clear imbalance within him. there has been for years now and no matter what he or anyone else does, there's no tilting it back in favor of the light.

his light comes in the form of nyx. she's not his daughter but she might as well be because that's how he treats her. he even made sure to leave a small part of slateport untouched: her home.

amidst the chaos and destruction lies a little bit of hope.

"there's no need to snatch anymore. you can have anything you want." 

his eyes lay on the absol that walk beside them. it was a gift, a silent guardian to keep her safe. "okay. show me the stores." he expects her to lead and for once, he follows.

"but don't go too far. stick close to me." 

because beyond their little safe haven is the rest of slateport: beaten and broken.

"we need to go soon, deux."

it's past midnight as he sits underneath a familiar tree with his luxray by his side. his hand runs over the gentle coat of the electric-type, keeping him company for as long as time permits.

tonight is the night he leaves hoenn.

luxray rests his head on silas' lap. "i don't want to go either. but we have to." his voice is exhausted, defeated, and his features reflect the same.

"we have to."

and yet, he's sat underneath his favorite spot in all of hoenn, dragging out a single moment into eternity.

the body count grows with every passing second because the league is too stubborn for their own good, much like . their resilience and will to fight back is admirable but foolish. they simply cannot stop this storm from overpowering them and it's taken them far too long to realize it. with the main entrance now blocked off, their only way of escape is by the sea.

silas is in command of the situation.

he's long recalled his metang in favor for a peculiar ghost-type that refuses to materialize until he's truly needed. through the thick of the overwhelming crowd of rocket and the few resisting league, silas slips through the crowd unnoticed until he's in a desirable position.

it doesn't take him long to find . he slowly approaches the scene, taking his time as his luxray INTIMIDATES the near vicinity. there are too many people in play but for him they all don't matter in the grand scheme of things. all that matters is the ship master.

"that was weak," he says to as he steps next to her. the disapproving tone in his voice is reflected through his expression. "don't bother trying." sympathy isn't given, not for his sister, not even for .

luxray's mane dances with jolts of electricity as he eyes down the dragalge that's wrapped around malcolm. he doesn't know who it belongs to but knows that there won't be a ship master around for much longer if it stays wrapped around him.

whistle.

leaping forward, luxray CRUNCHES down on draglage in an attempt to pry the poison-dragon off the ship master.



@raid
  • arrives hiiiiii . 
  • tells she's useless which is true. 
  • luxray CRUNCHES @iris's dragalge, attempting to get it off.

with the invasion a mere twenty-four hours away, he can't waste his time with trivial things: he needs to stay focused and collected. he cannot divert off his path now.

not even for .

but it's her voice, smooth and serene in both tone and nature that calls out to him. it echoes through the stairwell, leaking through the gaps in the doors to reach the blackwell. it carries him up the stairs; his boot click against each steel step as he climbs, ascending to meet someone who possesses knowledge far too valuable for him to pass.

or so he's told.

the door to the roof swings open and out steps the rocket boss with firm and strong steps. he stops for a moment to take in the scene: the darkened skies with stars blocked by looming clouds, foreshadowing what's to come soon. the absence of light does little to blacken the bright sight in front of him, standing by the edge of the roof.

her voice calls out to him.

"your brother's weak. he's nothing. why are so scared of him?" 

there's resolution in his voice that doesn't waver because he knows he's right. he always is.

she asks too many questions that he's not willing to answer. a resolve sigh escapes him as he nears her. "power. control. it's the basis of what rocket is. it's what we stand for." he glares at her. "it's what you stand for, silph."

bluntness is met with the same flavor. "don't waste my time. tell me what your brother did."

METAL BURST against a steel-type doesn't do much. all it does is create a sudden burst in the air that separates the two: aggron spirals down towards the icy depths of the ocean while metang spins a few times in the air, rotating before stabilizing with the help of a DARK PULSE. the dark-attack only aids in metang's attempt to remain in the air; the force of the pulse is enough to counteract the spin metang was locked in.

tyranitar never meets metang. in fact, tyranitar finds itself in a precarious spot on the ship, isolated from its trainer. why run into the thick of rocket: silas has no idea, but it makes things that much easier. 

the ship is a bait and yet, like venomoth to a flame, they're drawn to it.

"don't let it out alive." 

while the tyranitar's EARTHQUAKE echoes across the near vicinity, violently trembling the ground, it acts a double-edged sword as it also looks to sink the very ship tyranitar stands on.

rocket forces will be quick to surround the ship to make sure tyranitar doesn't make it out alive. but they don't have to do much except wait for its EARTHQUAKE to sink itself.

silas' pace quickens. luxray keeps close to his side.



@raid
  • metang takes damage but remains in the air.
  • @winter's tyranitar EARTHQUAKES the ship and the near vicinity, but leaves itself stranded.
  • silas orders enough rocket forces to surround the tyranitar.
  • silas starts his approach further into the docks.
  • luxray and metang are out.
  • ELECTRIC TERRAIN is in effect.

tonight, hoenn will fall.

war is cruel. war is unforgiving. war is a necessity and anyone standing in their way won't live to regret it. they'll be far too dead; bodies not buried but piled atop each other, left to rot in the dead of the night. they will know rocket's wrath. they will succumb just as kanto did.

resistance will be crushed.

the first instance comes from the skies: a man on his gliscor (@winter) that seems to think he's invulnerable, that being up in the skies gives him an advantage. his foolishness will be punished because on the third boat, the one he so eagerly targeted with his aggron, lies the literal embodiment of rocket; its heart: silas blackwell.

aggron doesn't get far with its HEAD SMASH. while it is a decent battle plan, it fails to take into consideration that rockets aren't fucking idiots. to leave a ship so defenseless and vulnerable could be seen as a disadvantage, a flaw, a mistake, but silas makes no mistakes.

the ship is a bait.

before aggron even comes close to connecting with its HEAD SMASH, a metang's carefully timed ZEN HEADBUTT collides with the body of the aggron, redirecting it off its path. the impact hurts but the pain is familiar. it's welcomed. a strong METEOR MASH looks to send aggron pummeling straight into the water.

tyranitar's SAND STREAM dissipates even before it has a chance to pick up. ELECTRIC TERRAIN zaps whatever little remains of the gathering sandstorm, replacing it entirely as electricity surges across the battlefield.

his forces storm the docks but he's more tactical. more patient. he waits near the ship while the rest of his forces do his dirty work. but that doesn't mean he can't participate in the fun.

the man in the skies won't get off that easily. his gliscor might be immune to electricity but he isn't. he is but only a man.

whistle.

sparks of volatile electricity dance across luxray's body, engulfing him entirely as he prowls along the docks. INTIMIDATE makes them cower in fear. the dark clouds have long gathered above and it's time for punishment to be dealt.

DISCHARGE causes multiple lightning bolts to rain down on the poor man on his gliscor, hoping to fry him out of the skies. ELECTRIC TERRAIN makes it all the more deadly.

meanwhile, silas has his attention on finding one man: .



@raid
  • is standing on the docks by the third ship.
  • metang counters aggron with ZEN HEADBUTT and looks to send it into the water with METEOR MASH.
  • tyranitar's SAND STREAM is countered by luxray's ELECTRIC TERRAIN.
  • luxray looks to zap @winter out of the skies with DISCHARGE.
  • silas is looking for .
  • luxray and metang are out.

FOREVER, FOREVER.


[attr="class","monsterexo1"]the league is an annoyance; like a pest that won't fucking leave, they won't surrender themselves to their inevitable fate because their egos won't allow them to. but if only they could see past that then maybe everyone's team could be saved.

they've seen what happened in kanto; the exact same will happen to hoenn. that much he knows.

their attempts at slowing down operations don't affect silas directly, but he can't afford loose ends. "three dead—" he turns to luxray. "four. we can't afford to be sloppy. that's not how we work. that's not how we'll take hoenn." 

there's nothing that angers him more than incompetence.

"not eager enough." 

he's shorter than desmond but they feel equal. silas eyes the scientist carefully, analyzing him. "we need to strike by next week. the league knows something's coming and they'll prepare themselves for it." they know because of him, but he keeps that to himself.

"can that be done?"
