fortree is interesting: its intricate design that incorporates treetop living is a masterpiece and cannot be taken for granted. but, it can be taken advantage of, which leaves him wondering just why they decided to build a city this way. it's so weak, so vulnerable; a single person can decide its fate.

that single person will be him; but just not right now. the time is not right.

the outskirts of the town is where finds himself. wide shadows are cast over the muddy ground as he walks underneath the shade, taking in the grandeur of the city.

he's scouting.

Late to the Party (Closed)

POSTED ON Dec 5, 2018 15:22:33 GMT

not all is lost to the invasion: a bar remains open, untouched by the destruction enacted by the ruthlessness of his forces. he doesn't normally drink but victory is cause for celebration, so maybe he'll compromise just this once.

"you're late."

there are no excuses when it comes to the rocket boss. he sees it as a sign of weakness; as a sign of incompetence and that's the thing he despises. if the mad dog himself was late then there must have been a good cause for it.

he'll hear him out. he slides onto the open stool as his eyes carefully watch the bartender. unfamiliar faces make him uneasy even if they're trusted by one of his beasts.

"five minutes to explain yourself. use the time wisely."

a house, a memory: that is what makes part of his soul. the red in the bricks have long turned into a sickly pink, faded like the pictures in the frames that contain secrets of his past because before rocket, before he lost himself, he lived a vastly different life: a life he desperately longs for.

but no matter how hard he tries to weave the fabrics of his past to become whole again, it remains as is: a memory left to be forgotten. he just can't let go.

xatu appears out of a break in reality. it's familiar and it seems to be beckoning for him, so he abides. one hand on his shoulder and he's lost.

the slight dizziness lasts for a few seconds. he reaches out for her voice, snapping him out of it.

"happy birthday." she holds back a scowl and he can see it through the lines on her face. she's pushing his boundaries but he lets her. "i didn't get you a gift, unfortunately."

he takes a step towards her. "you succeeded where others failed. good job." praise is rare especially from him. but he grants it because she deserves it. she is the only one who did not fuck up; this includes @ezra, which is a shame.

"how would you like to be reimbursed?"

dislike continues to grow as it looks to fester into something virulent. it's the indifference in the kid's voice: it strikes him as someone who's arrogant, uncaring, and sloppy; all traits that lead to distrust. it's only his first time meeting with the kid but he knows it won't be his last: he'll need to keep a close eye on him.

chu-e is on thin ice.

"anything i want you to know you already should know. the fact that you have to ask is concerning."

strike one.

"treated like a grunt but maybe that's where you belong."

strike two.

he takes a step back, separating. he almost turns. "i won't tolerate incompetence." his voice threatens. "you can leave now."

the lapdog knows his place: knows when to hold his tongue because the alternative would be noxious. perhaps even deadly. and while it's difficult to measure hypotheticals, the underboss should have at least made an effort to.

"it's difficult to measure your worth, too."

two pokemon make their entrances: the flashy rainbow one catches his attention. it's an interesting enough pokemon that he decides not to take its life; instead, he'll own it.

it only has one type disadvantage; he'll exploit it immediately. rhyperior stomps forward with tremble in his step that causes the EARTH to QUAKE. the ground splits only underneath the alolan muk; sharp edges pierce into its skin as the impact sends it backwards.

it's stronger than it looks because it manages to survive the hit. silas might even be considered impressed. he throws a pokeball at it.

dominic sinclair + capturing alolan muk!

he feels the weight of her body resting against his arms as he walks; each step requires more effort but he's willing to give it for her. he has to. she belongs to him and he made a promise to care for her.

no one will make him break his promise. not even a bouffalant.

metang is on it even before an order needs to be given. he purses his lips together but evens them out when he sees his steel-type flying forth for a METEOR MASH that meets the mighty horns. the battle comes to a stand still for a moment but metang is stronger. it has more to lose.

one BULLET PUNCH, one pokeball captures it.

he continues walking.

"watch your tone."

mockery is met with venom because he will not be disrespected. especially not by an underboss regardless of what dynamic their relationship holds outside of rocket.

dominic is vicious but he's also foolish. lapdogs must be trained. "you tell me." sizing up the underboss, he crosses his arms over his chest.

"would you have made a difference?"

silas doesn't like him; it's as simple as that. but, he doesn't like anyone, so chu-e should not be discouraged by that fact.

"was that you?" he remembers pewter. he remembers them all. the man clicks his tongue and for whatever reason, the sound hits him the wrong way. his brows furrow, frustrated, and it shows on his face.

he doesn't break his gaze. "you wouldn't have made a difference." his words are blunt but true. slateport's fate was predetermined; what wasn't were the failures.

"where were you?"

the inhabitants of slateport flee like rattatas deserting a sinking ship, but there are some who choose to stay only to be flushed out like pests. he doesn't offer them the luxury of fleeing. he makes them dread their decision.

screams are muffled and lost in the emptiness of the city.

when he nears the outskirts, he's greeted by a familiar face. "no shit." simple statements don't need to be said: he's not an idiot.

the disconnect between silas and his underlings has never been more evident. the boy that stands in front of him is a beast but he doesn't recognize him. he's learned to keep people at an arm's length, to separate himself so when the time comes he will not hesitate to slice them down.

he knows he holds a double-edged sword but he still chooses to wield it.

"what is?" it takes him a second to realize what the kid's talking about but when he does, he follows his gaze and looks out at the city. he's dumbfounded. "it's destroyed and in ruins. what's the beauty in that?"

it's not enough.

similar words have been said by him before. he doesn't have to nod his agreement.

"define enough."

he sees the usaring coming from a mile away but holds his tongue, curious to see how she handles the situation. except she doesn't even see it until it's far too late. he would have helped, he really would have, but a sharp SUPERSONIC pierces through the air that staggers them just enough to allow usaring's HAMMER ARM to connect.

he's not sure how she's alive.

usaring soon falls. "deal with the pest." metang flies across for a BULLET PUNCH, slamming the normal-type into the ground. loudred stands no chance and its distress is sounded through its useless UPROAR.

another pokeball saves it from metang's METEOR MASH.

silas has long reached nyx's side. he's kneeling. he doesn't know how to voice his feelings because he wasn't taught, so he expresses his concerns through his actions. he checks for her pulse.

"you'll be fine."

he scoops her up and carries her. she needs medical attention. "we're leaving."

each BULLET PUNCH causes a cry to ring through the small confines of a random cavern they find themselves in. meteor falls is vast but it's size cannot rival that of mount silver. it will suffer the same fate as mount silver.

"try again."

kecleon engages its CAMOUFLAGE yet again but this time silas' attention is pulled away to an appearing barbaracle who's all too eager to get into a fight. its RAZOR SHELL doesn't need to be dodged because metang tanks it in full and lets the shells bounce off the thick of his metal.

whistle.

metang ends the battle before it begins with swift but accurate BULLET PUNCHES. a final METEOR MASH looks to end barbaracle but a quick pokeball saves it.

strength in numbers.

to say that he's heated is a severe underestimation: he's furious. livid. all of the synonyms. he vents it through his words, through his actions as he stomps back and forth; hands balled into fists, clenching so tightly that his knuckles turn white until a shade of red graces them when he punches a wall.

i'll remedy this.

three words he never thought he'd hear ever again from his trusted scientist because this isn't the first time he's had to excuse incompetency. is it even incompetency at all? the possibility that all of this could have been planned by someone so meticulous and cunning: that frightens him because he knows desmond is capable of it.

rage is redirected.

silas closes the distance. "you fucking better." desmond is taller than him but in that moment their heights are level, perhaps even favored towards silas because of the sheer power he has over the scientist. he practically looms over him.

finger on desmond's chest, silas spits venom. "it's always you cleaning up their mess. why is that?" there are boundaries that have never been crossed before but tonight is the exception. "enlighten me, kelley, because i know you. it's a bit too convenient, don't you think?"

"you think this is my fault?" he asks in a tone that wants to snap but is held back by chains of the past. nostalgia is a powerful weapon and while silas is fully capable of wielding it as he has time and time again, nostalgia is also his biggest weakness because it's what makes him most vulnerable. she is what makes him most vulnerable.

still, after all those years he cannot let go. he clings on to the past that unravels loose as thin as threads and he fears that clinging on too much would rip the very thing he so wishes to weave. but if he doesn't—he'll lose her.

perhaps he already has.

he points to a pile of burnt wood but atop it lies a sign that's still readable. it's in front of her so all she has to do is to turn her head.

"you were hungry. we stopped for mini burgers and we felt fancy, like we were rich."

he points to another pile but behind it stands a wooden board with darts still in it.

"i tried to win that beartic for you. took me a few tries but i got it eventually. you thought it was cute."

he points to a pathway off to the side with aesthetically pleasing lamps that hang overhead. "you felt cold." he moves so he's behind her. he shrugs his shoulders back as he speaks. "so i gave you my jacket." he does the same now—just like on that night, it rests on her shoulders and provide her warmth that he cannot.

with a tired sigh, he kneels down by her and holds a bottle of water towards her lips. "you're dehydrated. drink." he tries to make her drink but he cannot force her. he's learned that much.

"i warned you."
