"A plague on this town, one they seem intent on protecting.", Thomas would answer Matias. But before he could go on to explain what he did that pissed Thomas off, the Elite Four member would spot a strange sight. It looked like a giant worm in a giant apple, slinking around the town. Thomas' eye went wide at the sight of it. "The fuck is that?", Thomas blurted out. The elder's reaction clued him in that whatever it was, it was to be feared. Upon spotting Thomas and the elder, the creature would fire off a Dragon Pulse at them. Thomas' eye widened, quickly picking up the elder, and scattering out of the path of the blast of draconian energy. Despite his thoughts of letting the old codger die, he couldn't let it happen. He had a duty to the people of Hoenn, after all, even the ones he detested. The Mega Flapple would fling itself into the air with its tail, propelling high above the town. It would use its position to locate Thomas and the elder. Upon spotting them, the large apple would attempt to crush them with a Grav Apple attack. Upon seeing the shadow forming under them, Thomas looked up. "Fuck!", the Elite Four member shouted, fishing for a Pokeball, while holding onto the panicking elder. "I got this, hold still!", Thomas growled at him. He would find the Pokeball of Freke, the Alakazam. Upon deploying him, he wasted no time. "Teleport us, now!", Thomas called out. The Alakazam quickly grabbed onto Thomas, and before the giant apple dragon could crush them, would teleport them out of the path of the attack. The trio would emerge behind the cover of some houses that were yet to be touched by the rampaging dragon. Meanwhile, Kalameet would begin to retaliate against the Mega Flapple, without even waiting for his master. The Hydreigon took to the air, firing a Dragon Pulse at the dragon. In response, the Mega Flapple would fire a Dragon Pulse to intercept the oncoming attack. In turn, the Mega Flapple would attempt to use its tail to spring towards the Hydreigon, going into a Dragon Rush against the three-headed beast. Because of the reckless nature of the attack, and its Hustle, the Hydreigon was able to easily strafe out of the path of the attack. It would be clear to Matias that the Hydreigon was mostly distracting the Mega Flapple, giving him an opening to potentially attack, or evacuate the other civilians in the immediate area. Meanwhile, Thomas would stash away the village elder under one of the houses they were near. "Koji saw the dragon, tried to capture it. Things went south for him, and he lead the beast to us.", the old man would confess. "Surprise, surprise.", Thomas remarked, remembering that last year's encounter with a Kommo-o fell under similar circumstances. "Please, the boy is young.", the old man began to plead with him. "Why are you so intent on covering for him!? This is the third fucking time I've had to clean up his shit! First time, you blamed the kid he and his shithead friends were tormenting! I dread to consider who you blamed for last year's fiasco!", Thomas poured out to the old man angrily. "Years ago, Koji's father died defending this village. Ever since, I've been trying to raise his son in his stead, as thanks for giving his life so that we may continue ours. Problem is, the boy's become rambunctious and angry over the years, he took it out on the boy, as you saw.", the old man would begin. "Uh-huh.", Thomas remarked bitterly. "As for what's been happening the last two years, the boy tried to catch a dragon, tried to be strong. Problem is, he keeps biting off more than he can chew.""And in the process, putting you all in the line of fire. Potentially making his father's sacrifice all for naught.", Thomas remarked. The old man would look down, ashamed. "You really want to do your fallen protector's memory good? Make the kid take responsibility for his fuck ups! Sometimes, you gotta be cruel to be kind. You keep covering for him, preventing him from being held accountable for his mistakes, he's only gonna grow up to make more mistakes, to carelessly throw away his life! He might resent you in the moment, but down the line, he will thank you for giving him structure!", Thomas told the old man. "I... I suppose you're right.", the old man said. "Stay hidden.", Thomas told the old man. "Freke, stay with him, be ready to teleport him out, if that thing finds you.", he ordered the Alakazam, who gave him a nod. Thomas would make his way out of the hiding place, attempting to get back into the fight.
