Eugh-blegh! That is just-putrid!

Adrian had been hoping to hit the beaches for some R&R, maybe go exploring; anything but work. But even the beaches had been blocked off due to a wailord carcass beaching itself. Coast patrol, life guards and other personnel worked together to handle the emergency situation. But they were waiting on some heavy machinery and a flatbed truck to come haul it away to a research facility; not to mention the other myriad setbacks.

As the wailord's empty vessel crashed with the waves against the sands, Adrian approached one of the life guards, striking up a conversation. They actually recognized him, strangely enough. It still felt alien to him, having such notoriety.

But it got him on anyone's good side in a jiffy, and so Adrian talked his way onto the current exfiltrate-the-wailord project, if only to expedite the process that he might enjoy the beach.

The beach is still full of the hustle and bustle, and Adrian is pleasantly surprised to see many trainers volunteering their time. He liked that about Hoenn.

Eventually a coastal worker approached Adrian and directed him beyond their caution tape, the both of them treading the shoreline to its furthest dry point. A dark haired trainer and several other workers overlooked the situation as they dug a sort of inlet into the beach to trap the carcass.

"So how do you want to do this?"

A flatbed truck had begun backing itself onto the beach, but it couldn't go too far, and the first crane they'd requisitioned wasn't nearly suited to the task. They needed to improvise a solution...

"Well... What are our options?"

A flash of blinding white light, a beacon of an Audino clad in white that would tower above his kind.

Malche, not afraid to get his hands dirty, rushed the wailord carcass, digging his soft white paws into the yielding flesh. They came back reddened, dying a softer pink up his arm- but he did not stop, using what strength he could in his improved form to help shift the whale with the help of the rest of the crew and pokemon. It seemed to be one way to do it.

Chu-e started from the sidelines, watched as his Audino, heart already so full of anger, assisted with the whale. Why did it seem like every time he came to Lilycove this happened? He just wanted to use the ferry to go back home to Mossadeep.

His frail body was exacerbated by standing next to the buff workers of the crew, being dwarfed by them. The only sign it was his pokemon was the claps on the back the workers gave him and excited noises. Chu-e looked on, impassive, his mouth and nose covered with a cloth to fend off the worst of the smell.

He did not notice on the scene, too busy watching his pokemon work.

"Well," The foreman replied, eyes glued to the scene as well, his tone bland. "got something like that?"

Adrian watches on as the Audino pushes against the plump, bloated beast before them in a desperate bid to un-stuck their whale. They made what might be called progress, but to Adrian it was clear the work went too slowly. Plus, how were they going to lift it onto the truck?

They needed something huge.

While the situation rolls along at a snail's pace, Adrian flicks through his storage app, glancing over his list of pokemon. Furor would take a monster-sized bite out of this thing, at least he feared, so Adrian avoided his Gyarados. As he considered the Audino's assistance, Adrian decided to withdraw his Machoke before releasing it onto the sand.

"Machoke should be helpful," he offered before turning to his pokemon, giving it a rundown of what he was hoping it could help them with. After a look of mild reproach at the thought of handling the necrotic specimen, he sets to work, taking up a stance next to the Audino. Together they're able to make substantial progress, shimmying the creature further up the beach, towards the flatbed.

The scrawniest motherfucker he'd seen awhile was standing there, body rocked with the motions of the men around them as they give each other pats on the back. Is that their Audino, then? It seemed about right.

"Any ideas what caused this...?"

The men depart to do... whatever they're supposed to be doing. With the Machoke's and Audino's help, they're making better progress than before which leads to more work needing to be done. Go figure.

Before the foreman can answer, Chu-e glances back at . His lower face is still covered but his eyebrows are pinched together in annoyance.

"I don't know, but it's crazy. Same shit happened a few weeks ago, except that one was still alive" He grumbled, voice muffled by the cloth. That was when had come like his white knight to rescue him in his time of distress. At least this time he could, kind of, help himself. Maybe he should look for more of those mega stones. Just his Audino wouldn't be enough in situations like these.

His eyes did linger on Adrian, though. There was some... type of recognition there, even if Chu-e couldn't place from where. TV, maybe? Online? Was this the guy who ran naked into that convenience store a while back? ... No, the hair was different.

"Might be unrelated, then, but who knows." Adrian had returned their stare briefly before turning his gaze back to their work. Rolling it over along the sand, Machoke and Audino tired. After watching them struggle for long enough, he breathed a heavy sigh, supposing he ought to do more. But mostly he was just bummed; he hardly wanted to get in the water if the fish were acting funny.

Releasing another pokeball, a Bewear took to the sands, stalking over to the other pokemon. Between the three of them they would make greater progress. capable even of lifting the Wailord, though it visibly strained the pokemon.


"This one reeks of a death denied, my Executioner..."




Painted in dark hues, all around him the world's luster blends with the pervading dark aura around him, allowing Adrian a moment of observation to see more clearly what Yveltal has already made plain; this stranger had cheated their death. But death always got its due in good time.

Or so it was said, but it seemed open to exceptions.

Seriously, right now...? And so soon after the war.




How long would he be indentured to this demon, sent after its enemies as if some hound from Hell; not being able to make his own choices, to stand up for and stand by his own better judgement rather than some creature's?



Adrian took much time internalizing his response to Yveltal's intrusion into his waking moments, enough that he was distracted to never notice how much further along they'd gotten the Wailord, or how long he'd been staring at Chu-e's aura. A thousand-yard stare that looked past the flesh and into the soul of their mortal vessel, it may have proven a little disconcerting, at least if they noticed.

When he comes back to, he's not particularly keen on taking Yveltal's urgings to heart, knowing full well he couldn't do anything here, not that he wanted to to begin with. And yet who was this person, this as-yet-unremarkable stranger, but some nobody? Adrian didn't care to oppose Yveltal if that was its will, but it had saw fit to try and wield him rather than be wielded. To set him against an enemy just as it had before.

But Adrian could call his own shots.


Possessed by his inner turmoil he is mute to the world around him long enough for it to seem awry.

is odd.

Chu-e's own eyes linger on the other a bit, taking him in, trying to connect those pieces that are just out of his reach. Seeing the Bewear, he releases his own; no need to keep the pokemon struggling more than they have to. "Could be something making them act up?" He started, glancing away.

But he didn't get an answer. After a few seconds, Chu-e looked back. The other seemed out of it, as if he was staring at something far away and yet... the heat of his eyes bored into him. He wondered what he saw. Maybe he looked like some lost love? Someone who hurt him? It was sad. Chu-e didn't want his presence alone to bring up painful memories for someone he had never met.

"Are you okay...?" He started.

Ah, but what if it was... what if this man could see through him like glass, to see who he really was. Did this man know who Chu-e Choi was, and not the false veneer he had covered himself with? It made Chu-e... suspicious.

When he finally comes to, realizing he's been spoken to, his stern, rigged expression falls away to reveal a gentler, almost bashful look. Need a good excuse. "I get aura migraines, sometimes. Sorry." Could've been a little smoother... Tearing away his face, he looks to their work, which has proceeded apace without his supervision.

They just had to lift the heavy son of a barnacle. A ramp might work well enough, if they had no alternative. Asking the available pokemon to all try and heave this thing onto the truck, however, seemed a bit much.

Just how heavy is a Wailord?

He's tapping through his phone to find anything relevant from his pokedex app, when an intrusive thought pervaded his mind once more: It compelled him to kill. Adrenaline hits him hard, a cold sweat beginning to bead along his brow as the sensation overwhelms his mortal faculties.

He needed to resolve this exchange quickly.

"...Oh, Wailord aren't as heavy as I thought," Adrian mutters as he returns his attention to the phone in his hands. He's a bit paler, but in the warm lighting it's not so obvious. "See if you can't lift it onto the truck, Machoke, Bewear."

Where before Chu-e had been more relaxed, now his eyes are sharper. He's the one outright staring at now, carefully watching every small twitch and movement of the other. There is something cold about him now, calculating and searching the other man for what's unsaid. A smile curls under the cloth pressed to his face.

Interesting.

A sharp whistle leaves Chu-e at Adrain's order to his pokemon. His own pokemon perk up, the Audino and Bewear also helping to heave the Wailord into the truck. When the mass of rotting blubber and flesh is loaded up, ready to be carried away so the beach can be hosed down, Chu-e tilts his head.

"Thank you for the help... ah, I never did get your name."

"Adrian." He gave his name easily but paid the other little attention otherwise. Like a bat out of hell he hastily makes his departure, offering one final word of parting: "Cya around." With a flourish of his hand he waved them off, disappearing back towards the boardwalk.

Holding his head low and wearing a weary expression, massaging his temples, Adrian marches along with a brooding aura.Why did this keep happening?

Where did it end; the vindication, the killing...?

Chu-e gave a small wave to the other as he started to leave, noting the name down for later mentally.

Glancing back, Chu-e saw his pokemon coming back, the Audino flickering from his previous white form back to his normal pink one. The Normal type stunk but looked vindicated in himself. Humming, he gave a little grin as he recalled his pokemon back into their balls.

At least he could go home now, all things considered.
