ash (m) blaze, solar power - dragon pulse, inferno, hurricane, subtitute, rock slide, flamethrower

in the wake of the protest, chaos resides, and more awaits them as they soar towards lilycove, approaching a familiar house by the beach.

when they land on the sand outside the porch of the house, his grip on her slacks, and he's helping her off his charizard.

"this is it."

their home.

Their bond was a tightknit promise forged by shared experiences and traumas, he had served as a safety blanket against the shapeless monster that was this world. He had run for the sake of returning to Cillian Quinn or Chu-e Choi to get help but in doing so, she'd been cornered by the duo of Doug and Matias. And now found herself getting pulled further and further away from any sense of home or security.
[break][break]
"I want him back... go back… Matias…"
[break][break]
Even when she tries to resist against his grip, she's still left with no options for escape. As fast as they may be, her Yanmegas won't be outclassing a Charizard at any time. So she's forced to sit still for once in her life, listening to the winds as they swallow her howls.
[break][break]
When they finally touch the ground once more, she's huddled into a ball, refusing to climb off as if he might change his mind if she does so. The Rocket headquarters, her Rustboro labs, the secret base in the Tree of life or even her room in Mossdeep -

Anywhere else would be better than this.

ah, yes, reiner.

"eris..."

despite his frustrations with her luxray, he sighs, still able to sympathize.

"he's not there anymore. he ran, likely to get help."

with eris huddled into a ball on the ground, he shifts to sit on the sand beside her as well, holding her by her shoulders.

"but i'll find him. i will. just not today."

With or without you - It erodes her sense of stability. If it's for Reiner, she dares to bite back without care for who her foe may be. Her nails dig deep into her palm and rust swirls upon the tip of her tongue. As long as she still has her pokemon, she'll run as many times as it takes just to chase something that's been stolen from her time and time again.

Eva Morales likes this

"because it's late and i need to take care of you."

and also because he wouldn't know where to start. even with his knowledge of the submarine, he knows luxray can't swim all that well, so it likely isn't headed towards it. so where, then?

his hands pull away when she flinches, though he stays close.

"eva will be home soon as well. she's been really looking forward to seeing you again."

a lie, because Eva Morales doesn't even know what awaits her.

"i promise i'll try and find him tomorrow, okay?"

more than he already has.

he pulls his knees close to him as well, mirroring her as he sighs.

"i'm doing it for you and for your future. i want you to live a good life, eris. a safe life. one where you're happy."

[break][break]
"I am... I was happy there too..."
[break][break]
Confusion grips her like a talon's claw, sharp and piercing as it tears her mind into pieces. Cillian Quinn was nice to her, he was lying. Chu-e Choi said he loved her, he was lying. bryan delarosa cared for her like a sister, he was lying. Or were they really lying to her face all this time? If Matias speaks the truth, she's just been played for a fool, given a cotton heart to replace the hole in hers.
[break][break]
Was Chu-e lying when he said he was hurt too? No, the pain he'd shown felt so real. But what about the pain they'd inflicted on Melody Miro ? It had been a necessity, they had said. Were the people of Sootopolis happy with what Rocket had done? What of all the injured members she had seen in the infirmary after? What of Serena Malcolm and Casper?

It's not safe, nowhere is safe.

How is she meant to be happy in a world like this?

"but you weren't safe there."

this isn't the first time he's reminded her nor will it be the last. he sighs, understanding the roots of rocket run deep.

shut up!

"eris..."

QUIET!

charizard grumbles, shifting back as if suddenly anxious about the shift in demeanor. matias moves to once again hold her by her shoulders, taking whatever hits might come his way.

"it's okay, eris."

he tries to hug her.

"i promise it's okay."

When she finally hits something, she flinches and the world grows clear. Reality connects and she's dragged back to the surface, emotions high strung and her heart feeling bare.

it's his shoulder that she hits. it doesn't hurt, at least not in the same way she must be hurting right now. tears stain his shirt as his arms wrap around her, holding her close and tight.

his head dips in a nod.

"i promise."

and after a few moments, he pulls back just a little to draw an 'x' over his heart.

"cross my heart."

[break][break]
But it's okay not to think about it, she's far too tired to continue running in circles and tripping over her own feet. The loose usage of 'home' grates against her ears, causing her to wince under his touch. Yet, she doesn't pull away, trying her best to reinvoke any sense of security and quell the monsters inside her head.
[break][break]
"It's scary..." Her hands feel so weak, pressing against her skull as if it may just shatter without. Everything about her situation suffocates her but she's not allowed to cry out, she can't possibly waver if she wishes to survive or protect those she loves. "There's... so much..."
