"Hold that thought.", Thomas told the bartender, as he made his way over to the commotion.

Thomas watched as the older man grabbed onto the woman's wrist, as she tried to get away from him. Finally, Thomas interevened, placing a hand firmly on the other man's shoulder.

"What she's trying to tell you is 'fuck off!'", Thomas growled at the other man, intense eyes beaming down on him.

"Back off, slowly. I'll only ask this nicely once.", Thomas warned the lecherous man.

The Kalosian frowned as Eris attempted to get to her feet, without talking to him. Thomas extended a hand to help the girl up to her feet. Whether she took it or not was her choice.

"If you'd rather not talk about it, then I won't press the matter further. And I know we haven't exactly gotten off on the best footing, but I just want to help, however I can.", he'd tell Eris gently.

Ghosts of the Past

POSTED ON Apr 6, 2024 9:13:30 GMT

After what happened between him and Yveltal, Thomas never really enjoyed visiting Mt. Pyre.

Today, his visit was of necessity. An independent documentarian went missing while recording footage at Mt. Pyre. Their parents, having not heard from them in days, were worried. When they made a call into the League, Thomas was the first to respond to the call, seeing as he was in Lilycove when the call went out.

The Kalosian, accompanied by his Lucario, silently waited at the entrance for their partner. It was someone new to working in the Region, that was all he heard about this person.

SILPH CUP 2024 AT PACIFIDLOG

Despite their best efforts, Thomas and Ermac wound up crashing. And just like that, his lead was dashed.

A part of Thomas wanted to help Eva Morales, get her out the sand. Ermac, ever focused on the race, focused on recovering from the crash. The ghostly fish recovered, and began taking off.

Thomas watched as the Barraskewda managed to get itself out of the inlet. Though he felt guilty about not helping her out, at least she got out, in the end.

Regardless of any lead lost, the race was still young, and there were plenty of opportunities to come back.

Upon facing their next obstacle, Thomas had his Basculegion slow down, in order to get through the obstacle in one piece. There was no point in crashing again.

THE BORDER: TO

POSTED ON Apr 5, 2024 18:51:21 GMT

As the Hydreigon raced through the Border, Thomas frowned. Why the hell didn't he make sure that the other man had a mount of his own? Why didn't he bring a second mount this time?

As Ozni scooted back into him, Thomas' eyes widened with irritation. Before the man could complete his sentence, Oz was silenced by the sight of the stretching topology of the realm.

"It's stretching itself thin, to the point where it's tearing itself apart.", Thomas remarked.

Finally, they would approach their destination. The spirit of a young girl, which seemed to be surrounded by what appeared to be darker spirits.

"That her?", Thomas asked Ozni.

Thomas slumped back on the bed. His mind was practically racing at this point. Visions of his friends suffering and dying, voices scolding him for not being there for them. Only when Bunni came racing into the room was there any relief. The Audino rushed to her master's side, hugging him and calming him with a Heal Pulse.

Thomas held Bunni close to him, the short, fine fur of the healer providing him some much needed grounding. Thomas attempted to find the words to tell the Audino what was going on, but the man was dumbstruck by the fear and dread plaguing his mind. The Audino felt this as she placed her feeler against his chest. All she could do was hold him, and not let go.

Finally, the vibration of his phone got his attention. Thomas, with his free hand, took a look. It was from Vanilla!

A sense of relief washed over him. It seemed that whatever calamity fell over the Region failed to take her, as it seemingly failed to claim him.

"I should throw myself together.", Thomas remarked.

The Audino stepped out of the room, giving her master some privacy, as he changed into some quick clothes. A pair of jeans, a black button-up shirt, and black socks covered most of his body. Finally, Thomas slipped into his boots.

By the time he finished, Bunni was the one who answered the door. The Audino cried out happily upon seeing the lass. She'd then escort Vanilla towards the kitchen, allowing her to take a seat at the table. Soon to follow was Thomas, who rushed up to Vanilla, attempting to scoop her up, and give her the biggest hug he had given her to that day.

"Vanilla, I'm so glad you're okay!", Thomas told her, his voice filled with an uncharacteristic sense of worry and urgency.

John Sullivan, paxton concordas, and 3 more like this

Thomas sat at the edge of his bed. The normally calm and collected Kalosian found himself unusually anxious. After the Excursions into Area Zero, the former Elite Four wasn't quite the same. Fear of losing those closest to him, visions of them dying horrifically plagued him.

It got to the point where training sessions with DESIREE BLOOMS were compromised. The previous night, it resulted in an argument between the two, and her storming off on him. Though he wanted to go after her, and tell her he was sorry, he ultimately reasoned that she needed some space, and that he needed to think on his own behavior.

As soon as Thomas woke up, the first thing he did was to send Desiree a text apologizing to her. When she didn't text him back, he figured she was still furious with him, and was giving him the cold shoulder. So he texted Alexei Ivanov, telling the Gym Leader that he fucked up. He figured, since Fortree was his turf, that he could help smooth things over between them, perhaps give him some advice. But when he didn't respond, Thomas grew suspicious.

A text to Michael Navidson yielded no results as well. But when he texted paxton concordas, and got nothing thirty minutes later, he knew something was up.

Paranoia and terror welling up in his mind, Thomas urgently sent messages to those on his list of contacts. Elise Calcifet, Genevieve Cromwell, Michael Davis, Josh Devlin, Aubre McKenna-Settentrione, John Sullivan, Yuina Higashi, and luka chêne all received texts from Thomas, frantically asking them if they were okay.

Finally, Thomas, in a panic, sent a series of texts to Vanilla. The idea that his young apprentice might've had something horrific happened to her caused his fear-addled mind to work in overdrive.

Burger Blowout (Mission)

POSTED ON Apr 3, 2024 18:35:53 GMT

"I have an idea, but it's a risky one.", Thomas began. "I'll come in to negotiate, 'alone, while my Ceruledge waits in the wings. I get the feeling that if the hostage taker is using a Malamar to induce mind control, the prospect of someone like me under their control is gonna be hard for them to pass up on. On my signal, Mordred will swap places with me with Ally Switch, thus getting in close enough to take out the Malamar. From there, you and Mocha can charge in.", he'd bring up.

"And if it helps, I can wear a discrete body camera, to give you a view of the place, and potential targets to hit.", he'd add.

"Any objections or suggestions?", he'd ask the Head Ranger.

Relic Rampage (Mission)

POSTED ON Apr 3, 2024 17:24:35 GMT

Bitter Blades sliced into the nearest opposing Pokemon. Meanwhile, Cobalt, manifesting a bone staff out of his Aura, beat down several of the goon's Pokemon in a violent Bone Rush. Ralph took the heat from his allies, allowing himself to tank any retaliation that came his way, empowering the Rage Fists he'd use to pulverize those who remained.

With their plans having gone awry, the hostage takers scrambled. While the worker took out a couple with a dropkick, Thomas' Joltik began to ensnare a larger group of them in a wide Electroweb. Just like the first goon who had fallen, the electrified webbing knocked the thugs out.

While Thomas finished patching up the injured scientist, Mordred's blades sliced apart the bonds of the remaining hostages.

The last of the hostage takers quickly fled for the exit, desperately trying to escape the surprise attack they endured.

Coming Clean (Mission)

POSTED ON Mar 31, 2024 18:45:13 GMT

As Isaac readied himself to land the hit, Thomas didn't flinch, or blink. Even as the man made his move, his eyes showed no fear, only resignation. When he pulled back at the last moment, instead patting him on the shoulder, Thomas' eyes showed shock at the gesture of mercy.

Was he saving it for a different occasion?

Thomas silently reflected on Isaac's words. Though he'd argue that Isaac might get closure out of the attack, he ultimately respected the man's decision. All they could do was fight for the future. Prevent it from falling to a dark fate under Rocket, or an end brought about by the Drk Triad, or other forces that sought to end them.

"Fighting for a better tomorrow. For a better life for Hoenn, and its people. For the world.", Thomas uttered.
