She hesitated, one part of her wishing to create distance, two parts of her beginning for the opposite.
[break][break]

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
[break][break]

And, if it were that simple, what took him so long to find her?
[break][break]

Truth be told, if the roles were reversed, there was little doubt she wouldn't take the same path of omission.

[break][break]
But, that's the thing. There was no fairness here. Only doubt and accusations.

"Then don't."
[break][break]

Don't throw away all they've worked toward.
[break][break]

Don't go back to her.
[break][break]

Don't even think about her.
[break][break]
All these pieces of advice felt so simple, and yet, there was doubt he would completely adhere to them all.
[break][break]

Still, they've already danced this dance before. They've made their promises, both in words and in mind. Asking for more would be excessive.

and strikes, biting with venom.[break][break]

"he promised me the world. promised me that i wouldn't lose him. why would you ever trust him? the man who let sootopolis fall."[break][break]

Eva Morales laughs, bitter and resentful.[break][break]

"the man who would not think twice of sacrificing you."[break][break]

a flick of his wrist sends an EARTH SPIKE piercing through the mist, impaling eva through her heart. she fades away after, still grinning.[break][break]

The mist spattered out a twisted laugh yet again. It felt like nails grinding against an old chalkboard, each one sounding like a similarly disturbing screech. As she promised, Penelope did her best to keep her wits about her.
[break][break]
Composure was a hefty demand to expect when one's own worst fears took the shape of the physical. Especially when they wore faces of those she'd personally lamented over.
[break][break]
'Who cares,' her own ghost chimed in, smiling as she skipped alongside their bloodied bodies. Evelyn wore the same smile they would share after a night spent adventuring the open streets of the city. The streetlights found a place in her eyes as she continued, voice reaching new heights in its pitch. 'you would do the same, no? I mean, c'mon, penny. You already sacrificed me, why would he be any different?'
[break][break]
The words brought back a similar question that'd struck her. It repeated itself back in the furthest crevice of her mind, all in MATIAS SILPH' gruff voice.
[break][break]
"tell me right now that you wouldn't fuck right off if we found what we were looking for. if these jade beads led us to that spirit and it chose you instead of me. would you still be here then?"
[break][break]
Back then, in the sand dunes of the borders, when everything still made sense to her, the question left her fumbling. Because, in more ways than one, there was no reason why the answer wouldn't be no. Matias was a brute. A monster who knew no boundaries.
[break][break]
Without the promise of power, what was there left to want from him?
[break][break]
Penelope pursed her lips. Slowly, she forced them into a crawl, unable to swallow the thought of escape just yet. Not with these worries weighing on her mind.
[break][break]
"Before, back in the borders. When I asked you if you would leave if the spirit chose you instead of me, you never gave me an answer."

it's exhausting in a way not many others could ever experience. to not be able to be physically exhausted, to have boundless energy that enables him to fight battle after battle. what comes after that? what rest is there to be had?[break][break]

even now, as the mist starts to thin ever so slightly, his adrenaline runs high.[break][break]

it only spikes at her question.[break][break]

"i'm not with you for the spirit. i don't need another one fucking about in my head."[break][break]

but should it come down to it, would he deny more power? could he?[break][break]

"i'm with you for you."[break][break]

Yet again, his words looked to soothe, rebuilding the bonds forcibly broken by the provocation of the mist.
[Break][break]
She smiled, taking it in.
[Break][break]
'but what about before. What was your answer then?'
[Break][break]
The question balanced off the tip of her tongue, only to be ultimately swallowed down.
[Break][break]
There were no answer that would quell the thoughts that persist.
[Break][break]
"Sorry, sorry. I keep letting them get the best of me," she murmured.

he admits because he had experienced the same.[break][break]

"this place brings out the things we try so hard to keep buried. all of these rifts do, i think."[break][break]

adrenaline spikes once more when the familiar sounds of battle ring out in the near distance. it's a guttural roar that shakes the very foundations they stand on.[break][break]

"fuck."[break][break]

his pokemon are either too tired to fight, or dead, having been killed somewhere along the way.[break][break]

"Yeah, I can tell."
[break][break]

She let out a dried chuckle, though it fell flat to the heaps of rolling mist. The way it lingered drew out another tingle of anxiety. She pulled herself closer to Matias' side.
[break][break]

It was why, when he flinched to the unheard roar of battle, she felt his shifting.
[break][break]

Instead of using words to question what was already shared experience between them, Penny communicated through the reassuring squeeze of his hand, and a faint smile that whispered 'It's okay.'
[break][break]

"No, not yet. Just rockets."
[break][break]

She glared into the mist.
[break][break]

"Have you?"

her fights. but what he really wants to ask is if she's had to kill any of them.[break][break]

She's read reports of them. Strange creations contorted to meet the nightmares of those that created them. Thankfully, the accompanied screams of anguish had been ultimately lost when her coms cut out a battle earlier.
[break][break]

"I managed through them, thanks to you."
[break][break]

Grim memories of bloodstained memories flickered in her mind. Some brought along pieces of pride, while others forced shame onto her.
[break][break]

"But, yeah, it was... a lot. Especially my fight with bryan delarosa."
[break][break]

The night should've rung a bell. He was only the most infamous cog of rocket's machine. A wolf trapped inside the body of a man.

and somewhere in there is an apology for not being there for her. for being too caught up in his own battles to seek her out.[break][break]

Beyond the fact he'd weaponized his avatarship against her, there was the fact that the man himself acted as an additional opponent on the field, chucking boulders at her like another one of his Pokemon. It was a miracle she'd even made it back out alive.

demi-gods. that's a first.[break][break]

"i'll kill him the next time i see him."[break][break]

for now, his attention returns to the following roars, each one booming louder than the other. the ground shakes once again, trembling under the immense pressure and force of a paradox pokemon.[break][break]

except it's not one. it's two. and they're both charging right at them.[break][break]

urgency whipped into him, he asks:[break][break]

"can your pokemon still fight?"[break][break]
