[nospaces] [attr="class","nikitapost"] [attr="class","nikitaposttext"] [attr="class","nikitapostpkmn"] The rhythmic clatter of hoofbeats heralded the approach of a wild Rapidash. He trotted into view, his beautiful mane of pure flame tossed by the breeze. Nikita faltered mid-step at the sight of him. Memories surged through her, one after the other. First, her beginner lessons on the back of a gentle Ponyta. Then an older and more confident Nikita cantering around a field, learning to jump. Then her teenage self on the back of a Rapidash, wearing a black dressage uniform, proudly holding a first place trophy.[break][break] In the present, Nikita watched the wild Rapidash stop a few yards away. Unafraid, he lowered his head to eat the grass. Subconsciously, she clutched at her prosthetic arm with her right hand.[break][break] Another memory surfaced.[break][break] "I sold the horses, of course. What do you mean, 'why'? Look at you. You won't be able to ride again like that. Even if you get the prosthetics, do you think we would allow you to put yourself in danger again? I looked up the statistics for horseback riding injuries. It's better this way."[break][break] Nikita swallowed hard against the flashback. Why had she let her parents dictate so much of her life? Why hadn't she resumed riding after becoming an adult? Was she really their pawn that all she could do was comply? Even her secret business selling goods on the black market seemed like a teenager's rebellious phase instead of something substantial.[break][break] Who was she, really?[break][break] "Onix, ROCK SLIDE." The command came out choked with emotion, but if the enormous Pokémon noticed or cared, he did not give any indication. Instead, he smashed his tail into the unsuspecting Rapidash. Nikita followed up with a thrown Pokéball. [break] [attr="class","nikitapostooc"]
