Eyeing the shot glasses filled all the way to the top, he knew he was in for a good challenge. “Right to the top, no mercy at all,” he chuckled as he picked up his shot glass raised it in a salute. Oh, goodness, this was just him getting started. “To living,” he agreed, clinking the glass against hers and downing the contents in one go. Once both were empty, he took the bottle and poured them their next round. “Believe it or not, some place in Rustboro. Lilycove has a lot of liquor stores, but Rustboro’s got this little gem, hidden down an alley way—dunno if Lars mentioned it to you. Think it was called the Stray, or something,” he mused. Mischievous eyes looked over her way, before he reached into one of his jacket’s inner pockets and unzipped it, but didn’t reveal the contents—at least, not yet. “Allow me to get to the point, then. I came down here after asking for permission from the higher-ups, and they said I could do this for one person. There were two of you I was considering, actually—however my choice ultimately ended up being you.”Reaching into the pocket, he pulled out something small, seemingly inconsequential—at least to him, it was. “As Gym Leaders, we can choose to award individuals our badges by other criteria. The way you took the lead in the war, fearless and facing death head-on—let’s just say this fine vessel you have,” he gestured around him for a few moments, “…really does deserve it’s name, and so much more.”Downing his shot, he poured himself another one. “You led the charge, from start to finish. It was a wild ride out there on the battlefield, yes. Bravery and courage—you have that in spades. Keep that with you. It’s something that you can bank on regardless of whatever shit comes hurtling your way.”Setting it on the table, he left it there, between them both. “It’s the Skyrider Badge.”
