Hands were pried away from her face and held within the warmth of larger ones, revealing that, despite her callous words, tears streaked down her face.

She wanted to feel anger but it'd died as quickly as it had lived. It'd been culled by the strong beat of his heart upon her palms. She wanted to shout and yell, snarl that he was wrong - demand that he leave. She wanted to stir him into anger and yet another argument. It would've been so much easier than...this. This heart to heart, where everything was laid bare.

"M...Mateo.."
Tear-filled eyes widened, shock visible on her face. Most described the feeling of being proposed to as an unforgettable feeling of immense joy, as though everything in the world was made 'right'. But, this felt more like agony.

Had this been months ago, she would've been over the moon. Had this been in the past, she would've answered him with no regrets. But things were...different now. This wasn't the past anymore. She wasn't that same little girl that'd fallen head over heels for the dragon master, who took every chance to declare her unyielding love. It was time she grew up.

The war, the ultra space journey, when Mateo had been in the hospital - perhaps even before then, she'd began to realize and see more about herself, things that she'd never had noticed before. She wasn't...ready for it, ready for him, nor ready for even herself.

"I...can't."
It was with those breathless words that she acknowledged the future and finally pried herself from the clutches of the past. But, it hurt. God, it hurt.

She didn't let go of that single hand that clutches at her own though. As though afraid that the moment she let go, it'd be gone forever. She's aware and acknowledges that she loves him. She always has. That's never changed, and she was positive it wouldn't. But she needed to focus on herself for what felt like the first time in years.

A faint tremble had fallen over her form, and she can't stop yet another wave of tears beginning to well. Noelle slowly crouches, dropping to her knees in front of Mateo, hand finally releasing his own in favor of enveloping him within an embrace. It seems so frail though, as though the usually intimate gesture can barely hold itself together. Her forehead touches and rests against his shoulder. "Not right now."

"You've always been someone I wanted to reach. I first fell for you because I admired you, you know?"
Her voice was tight with a certain bitter sweetness. "But at some point, I gave up. I thought I could just exist within you and everyone else's shadow, that I could ignore it all." Her head gently shook.

"I love you."
She's said these three words to him multiple times in the past before, far too many times. But it was the first time she'd said them in a manner that suggest she's actually seeing him, even if sorrow dripped from them. She wanted - no, needed him to know this, at the very least.

"But there's...things I need to do still."

"Why would I-" Her voice starts out in a angered yell, but it quickly softens itself into a quiet mutter, easily lost on ignorant ears. There's something defeated in her tone, something hurt. "Why would I lie about that?" Her hands clench into a fist.

'Don't,' her mind begs her emotions, but its impossible to stop them from overflowing.

Fists lightly tremble, teeth dig into her bottom lip. "Of course I was serious, Mateo."

Once she had started speaking though it became difficult for her to stop, as though the floodgates had been opened or a dam torn down. Similar to him, she was frustrated. Confused. Uncertain of the future. Her will had been worn away, stripped bare and left the woman with nothing but a mind full of emotions she couldn't understand.

"I was serious."
She repeats yet again before her expression falls, "And I was...scared. So scared. But you...you just..." Her voice wavers once more, cracking and refusing to fix itself before its lost completely. It's anger that keeps her head raised and her sharp stare fixated onto him. However, its not enough to prevent eyes from becoming glassy in their failing attempt to hold back the sensations that piled within.

"You don't get it. You don't ever get it."
Trembling hands lift to her face, either in a frustrated gesture or to conceal and wipe at her eyes. But all it successfully does is make her chest feel painfully tight as her breaths become hitched in her throat. It hurts. Why does it always hurt when he's around?

"I hate you."
The words that spit from her lips lack any real hostility. They merely sound defeated and frail, perhaps even weak. She finds them much easier to say than trying to understand what it is she wants to say. She's tired of thinking, of trying to understand. This is so much...easier. "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."

"You think so?" Noelle beams slightly at the praise, a small red dusting her cheek. "I-It was pretty cool h- Ah, I mean this is...terrible!" She clutches her head with a groan, the dragonite merely huffing as it seemed to look over its work in pride. A faint smoke rose from the blatant hole in the roof - it was...incredibly noticeable.

She turned towards her friend, about to bare her 'prettiest' smile and plead for her help. Unfortunately though, it seemed she was too late.

"W-w-wait, you can't just leave me!" Noelle let out a shout of desperation, flailing her hands, "help me fix it! June! June, wait! June!"

Noelle winced, as though anticipating being skewered by the bird's flurry of beaks. However, it never came. Instead, a barrier prevented the attacks from hitting their mark, as the vile pokemon were swept back by a powerful surge of electricity. "Nice one!" Noelle praises. "We can't get outdone, Hime - follow it up!" With the birds stunned and rendered motionless from the discharge, the dragonite aimed to wrap up the job with a powerful HYPER BEAM.

It worked! Except, there was a sizable chunk of the roof missing thanks to the overly powerful attack. The dragonite, of course, looked proud of itself.

"June!" The both exasperated and concerned shout from Noelle was followed by an eep as she nearly avoided flurrying wings swatting her in the face as a fearow moved to dodge the thunder. Quite a few of the birds got fried, falling to the ground with a squawking cry. However, for those that didn't get hit, the sudden onslaught from the trainers proved to only piss them off.

It was only by releasing her dragonite to protect her that Noelle avoided a DRILL PECK to the face. The dragon grunted, pushing back the large bird with a snarl before its fist became cloaked in electricity. A THUNDER PUNCH sent the bird flying and crashing into the door none too gently. "Hime!" Noelle protested once more in a whine but the dragon only scoffed.

"Hey, what're they doing?"
Noelle suddenly asked with a squint to the large group that still remained situated atop the roof. The birds glowered, loud screeches coming from parted beaks that'd began to glow. It looked like...they were all about to attack in a FURY ATTACK!

A smile of relief came to the pinkette's lips, looking as though a load had been taken from her shoulders. "Thanks, June! I owe you one." She placed chewtle down, shooing him off with a little motion of her hands. Although, the stubborn turtle seemed intent on staying around for the action, likely because he too had been victimized by the terrible flock.

"Just be careful not to damage the house, okay? I'm...pretty sure any damages we cause cost more than I could ever make in a year." There was almost a hint of bitterness in her voice. "A-also they're like really mean - like, seriously June. Be careful." She didn't want to include that she, too, had been victimized by the bully birds upon trying to get the morning newspaper.

"So...yeah, that's my problem."
Noelle finishes explaining the story to her friend with an uneasy frown. In her arms, she holds her chewtle, that glowers up at the cluster of spearow and fearow like a tiny guard dog. Long story short, even though Lucas told her not to, she'd been feeding a spearow for a few days and it brought along its not-so-nice friends. They now clustered along the roof of the house, looming over it like menacing gargoyles. They'd even attacked the poor anorith's when Noelle had let them out to play earlier.

"Can you help me out? Please?"

There's a small crease of her brow, but Noelle doesn't question it. Kyle's always just...done his own thing, or something like that, she guessed. She should consider it a blessing in disguise. She waves to a league passerby that walks passed them - his name was like Koga or something? Nice guy.

His jest is met with a small snicker that pulls her from her thoughts. "They should call you a saint." She praises, taking the bottle and seeing him off with a little nod. "Thanks, Kyle!"

, thanks for the thread gamer!

The war had ended a few days ago but the damage it brought remained. Likely, it'd be a while before Hoenn went completely back to 'normal' - its inhabitants included. Noelle was no exception to feeling a bit 'out of it' after the fighting. It was hard for her to describe what went through her mind or what she felt.

This uncertainty made itself known in the form of sleepless nights or the inability to focus or think straight. She felt helplessly lost, and it frustrated her that she couldn't pinpoint exactly why. Despite this, there was something on her mind that she needed to take care of, something that'd been bothering her.

There was a knock on the door. "Uhm....Noah?"

"An avatar?" Noelle echoes, shaking her head. "No." The idea of being able to command such power is something beyond her. "At least I don't think so." Confusion dots her face for a moment before there's another shake of her head. Perhaps she'd talk to about it? Not only was the head scientist one of the smartest people shew knew, but she was positive she could trust him with something like this too. "Hopefully I'm not...y'know, dying internally or something." It was meant to be a joke, but it comes off as nearly bitter, if not paranoid.

"Oh, uhm...don't tell anyone about this though, okay? Or...are you obligated to, as elite four?" She preferred not to wake up being whisked off to some underground testing facility nor have others worry over her.

The garbodor flailed about as though having a gigantic tantrum. Still, contained within the steelix's unyielding bind, it fell victim to the relentless attacks by the lucario and corviknight. It wailed about before, finally, slumped over in defeat. With its jaw snapping shut, no more toxins seemed to leave its body. It'd take a moment, but the heavy smog would eventually disperse with the threat dealt with.

Returning her steelix, Noelle let out a sigh of relief. "We...we did it. Thanks for the help, Adam-" A wince paused her words as she held her injured arm. "A-ah, this...actually hurts more than I thought. M-my fault for running off, huh?" Her sheepish yet pained grin was hidden by the gas mask, but it could be heard within her voice.

She'd fallen silent, seeming to simply listen to him as green hues finally trace upwards to stare at him. There's no denying that she still feels a certain bitterness towards her longtime friend, perhaps even anger. And its easily seen in the displeasured frown on her face.

Yet, there's no denying that she did miss him. She missed goofing off with him, goading him into stupid situations or ideas, chasing him off with proclamations of love - but, that all seemed so distant now, a past that was lost. Things were...different now, right?

I wish...
She wished things could go back to the way they once were.

His demand was met with a noticeable wince. The last 'talk' they had went incredibly poorly. For a moment, Noelle merely stared at him, trying to decide what it was she wanted to do. "Mateo..." There was another moment of silence before the pink-haired girl let out another sigh. Nothing would change if she just kept on ignoring and running away from the problem. "Don't break anything."

The door opens further as she moves back, inviting him inside the grandiose house and heading towards the living room.

, don't touch shit in this house :huh:

Relief spreads through her as they finally make their way to safety. As other league officials beginning to ward off the swarm of encroaching megalopolans, Noelle was finally given the chance to breath as their frantic running slowed to a halt. She doesn't hesitate in sitting down, body hunched over in a heavy pant - it hurt to breathe.

"I'm...not sure." Noelle finally answers Kyle after catching her breath, "that's...never happened before. I-It felt like it came from inside me though." A hand grasps at her shirt, tightening around it. It's barely noticeable, but there's a slight tremble of her hand. She tries to recall the feeling, of something being disturbed within and the sensation of her skin crawling from the inside out.

"But it...protected us?"
She questions with a knit of her brows in confusion. Aside from a tingling sensation and slight discomfort, there were no blemishes on her skin nor any signs of injury. "Have you seen anything like it?"
