A tanto flies free from its scabbard. The dog howls and launches himself at the other man. He doesn’t even notice that his Pokemon’s on the brink of fainting. Breathing heavy. The spirit inside of the sword has almost given up the ghost. The dog is angered by what this man has to say. Some kid who never grew up is striking him at his core in a way no cold steel ever could.[break]
“Shut up!” He screams as his blade flies at the taller man’s face. It misses, because the words have made him see red. He flies into a rapid flurry of attacks. Stabbing forward. Side to side, doing every frantic motion he can to cut this guy off.[break]
“Shut up! Shut up! Shutup shutup shutupshutup! You talk way too damn much!” He finishes his point by accentuating it with one final thrust anyone who’s taken a punch in his life can avoid.

Jett had done what he could, but it had backfired in a sense; the swordsman swung his broken sword at him, they were wide swings which Jett had no choice but to dodge, swing himself to the side, watch his feet; shuffle back, right step, turn his hips to the left, then right, and then finally backpeddle again.
[break][break]
That was when the largest of the strikes came towards him, as if he was a mere log to be split into two, he had no choice, he stepped within the man’s guard, he was rusty, but not that rusty. He gripped the man’s raised elbows, and pushed upwards, as if to keep the sword overheard, the space between them was almost zero, they were as close as two people could be.
[break][break]
”It’s over. Stop. You won’t get what you want outta this. Your mama will lose her son if you continue, other mamas will too. I don’t want your mama to cry, do you want her to?” He almost considered it, retaliating.
[break][break]
Bricket was exhausted; functionally out of the battle after that exchange, but that was perfectly fine, her trainer had it handled in his own, almost foolish, way.

“Eh? Eeeeeh? Let go! Let. GO!” This 28 year old man sounds like he’s on the cusp of throwing a tantrum. He’s lost here. There’s no other way around it. It’s the first loss that he has suffered today. Behind him, Muramasa faints. It really is, one hundred percent, an irrevocable lost. The taller man has him locked in place like a petulant child. The broken blade that’s thrown somewhere else in the cave was covered in the blood of League cadets. Rangers who will never get to go out on another mission. Gone because of him.[break]
“I’m never gonna get to see her anyway. Bitch doesn’t want me anymore.”[break]
He blinks. It’s the first time he’s ever said those words out loud to anyone. He’s saying them to some random League loser dressed in biker leathers. His hand caught in the blonde’s grasp tightens into a fist. He makes a real, pronounced effort to try and pull back now.[break]
“…fine. You can have this dumb cave entrance. Not like I give a shit about what’s in that rift anyway.” He grumbles. “I just get paid for every League scalp. I get a cool milly if I can take down an elite 4 member or the champion.”[break]
He defaults to sharing far, far too much information.

He had him tightened, held tight in his grasp; but the moment he made a real effort that was different, Jett held him there as long as he could. Letting him pull away on his own was a mistake he didn’t want to make, so he pushed him away once he had shared the information he held.
[break][break]
”Yeah? Well, they’re tough scalps to get. But fuck all of that.” It might’ve been the first time he had sworn in their engagement, money for lives, and the casualness in which this man spoke of it. Sure, it was like speaking to a grown child, even Jett could find the humour in that juxtaposition there.
[break][break]
But.
[break][break]
He couldn’t accept that way of life. ”Fine, I’ll keep the entrance here. We go our separate ways, I’m fine with that. But, give your mom a call when you finish today, see how she’s doing. That’s our deal.” It was a silly deal, made with a silly altercation, in the silliest of places.
[break][break]
But at least, it was the kind of deal that would lead to a smile.

What in the hell is he supposed to say to that? Is he supposed to bawl? Tell his life story? Tell this guy his mom kicked him out and said to never show his face again?[break]
No, this isn’t the place for any of that. There’s no place for sentiment on the battlefield. But he’ll play along. Pulling away, he pulls out his empty pokeball and pulls his knocked out Honedge back into the ball. He can rest easy now. Muramasa has played his part, however minor, in this battle.[break]
This guy’s so extra. Hitoshi muses that he probably could have gotten him to pick up the sword. The evil spirit inside would curse and kill him.[break]
“Sure, man. Whatever. Yeah. Screw it.” He sounds like a wounded dog, and he skulks off into the shadows like one.[break]
That’s just the sort of animal that Hitoshi Inoue is.
