They are found and poked and prodded by instruments meant to heal. They are examined with careless care. Critically examined by overworked doctors and finally tossed into rooms when their injuries are ruled light. There are those who require immediate surgery. In the hours that follow, doctors will come to the conclusion too late that some of these people are too far gone. Other lives that could have been saved will be taken as a result. Such is war’s toll, it is indiscriminate in how it takes. Like a farmer with a scythe, it does not spare one mote of wheat over another.[break][break]

They are spared by luck rather than divine circumstance. There is no greater purpose to their survival. The monsters on this battlefield did not see them for long, or their eyes turned to bigger prey. Like all cast into this violent world, they cast the die with every step and pray that it does not land on the side that brings death. There is no notion when the die is thrown which side will lead where, but humanity is forced to roll either way. The only choice is whether to toss the dice or not and that is no choice at all.[break][break]

Navy wakes up in pain. Every atom that glues itself to the masquerade of a man in this grand celestial pageant shares that same sense of agony. Hell is too light a word for what he dragged himself through in those tunnels. His gunmetal eyes scan the room in terror. The place is not done with him. He will soon be dragged down into the sea. There is no escape. There is only hollow victory. He will face the morrow with a warrior’s conviction, but in this moment he is a terrified soldier who does not yet realize his war is over.[break][break]

His ribs are sore when he sits up, where the doctors have set him back into the shape of a normal human. His face swollen where a beast that is no longer human beat him. Above him, like a hero from an old story, stands a bear. This creature did not exist before today. There was no childhood to his existence, no pain of adolescence. He was birthed from a soul, brought screaming into the world in sound and fury. Navy does not believe he is real. He touches the creature’s fur. It gives his father a gentle pat on the head, goes out of the room, returns with a chair.[break][break]

Like the lion’s share of other creatures that share the name Pokemon, this bear cannot speak – or perhaps he simply has nothing to say. He rolls Navy out of the room, helping him into the chair. His eyes cast about over the scenes of human suffering. A boy mourns a krabby whose insides spill across him like a bowl of grits. A man clings to a missing arm, dark eyes wide enough to make a study of black and white. A girl asks after her father.[break][break]

It isn’t over for them. Maybe it never will be. Navy moves with purpose through these halls of cold white. Lights hum above him, guiding him to her. Pulling him to Tsubaki through the crowd. The creature leading him finds her with unnerving ease, pulling the door open.[break][break]

There she is, in her room. Despite everything, Navy smiles.[break][break]

Hey, Baki.” The detective tests the water. He knows well the waters through which she dived. Though still, they were deep enough to drown. They did drown them. They were brought back up into the human world and given a second lease on life.[break][break]

Glad to see you made it. That’s the last time I take a job in Dewford.” He does not yet understand how wrong he is.

[attr="class","star2tsu"]Empty.[break][break]

Everything is void and empty.[break][break]

The void-sea filled you entirely til there was nothing left, a gaping hole where there should have been a human heart. Where once it was black, now it's just[break][break]

empty.
[break][break]

You feel very little. Numb nearly to your core, it takes effort just to breathe. It feels almost like you're drowning, like you got used to breathing what passes for water down there and outside it you're helpless, gasping like a fish, drowning now. And yet, you persist onward. [break][break]

The hallucinations of gills your mind has gotten used to did not replace your body's instinct to breathe. Only dulled it, as if you hadn't breathed in over twenty four hours.[break][break]

You might as well be dead, you think.[break][break]

But you're alive, despite it.[break][break]

You lay there in a catatonic state staring at the ceiling. [break][break]

Images of the starry expanse of the sea dance before your eyes, and the sight of the angels, for they are there as well. They dance in pirouettes, they encircle you til you're dizzy, then spin the other way round and do it all over again. They dance, and they say that they will never die. And they beckon you, but you cannot follow. [break][break]

Your body lies limp, useless flesh that if you only could you might've shed, to float off into that starry expanse and lose yourself in the void.[break][break]

He calls your name, and you're stolen from the depths of the sea. You're laying in a hospital bed again, and you can barely breathe. He's standing over you. The reason you can't just shed everything and escape into that abyss is standing over you.[break][break]

You owe him a debt, don't you?[break][break]

Your word. [break]
Your blood. [break]

Your life. [break]
Your future. [break][break]

Everything. [break][break]

"Na... vy...?"[break][break]

You call out to him. Your voice sounds foreign, like it's not your own, drowned by the waves of another world. [break][break]

Even so, you hold your hand up. As you do, you see a purple head rise to hold your palm steady. Your most trusted partner, curled around you.[break][break]

You don't know what else to say that can't be said. He looks in rough shape, and so do you. Still, you search for something, anything.[break][break]

"You... look like shit, y'know..."[break][break]

A small smile accompanies that. It's so slight that he almost might not notice it. But in the circumstances, it might as well be the biggest smile in the world.[break][break]

You should see the other guy.” His own smile is weak under all the bruises and bandages. Everything’s in the right place, and for that he is grateful. Navy’s hand finds hers. He holds it. Cups this girl whom he has welcomed into his life, promised to protect. He made her father a promise, and he intends to keep that promise come what may. Primordial sea below, filled with the sound of that heartbeat, or harsh world above, he will keep his word. That is the sort of creature this man is.[break][break] There’s apprehension that they’re going to fall. He’s terrified of it, like he’s standing just above the crest of a rollercoaster’s highest hill. They could fall. This pretense of safety could all be for nothing. And then what would they do? They’d be trapped there again with nothing save each other.[break][break]
Nothing…[break][break]
Save each other.[break][break]
Nostalgia’s a drug. He remembers the past. Remembers the dream of the Navidson brothers. Gabe’s dream, really. A better world. A happier Hoenn. An ideal utopia that conflicts so much with reality as to be naïve. Navy remembers the days when he believed his brother’s dream. Maybe Kyle believed it, too. He remembers how hard his brother fought for that dream, when life was good.[break][break]
He wishes he was there at Sootopolis, there in that hell with his brother. He didn’t have the black dragon back then. Navy didn’t have anyone except Skarmory. But…still…[break][break]
He wishes he could go back in time. Be there again. Be with Gabe. This time, he’d do it right. He’d be right there with him, protecting his brother while he found his way. Tsubaki is his do-over. His chance to properly protect someone this time. He’ll keep her safe while she finds her way. No matter what. So, he gives her just a few words.[break][break]
I’m here for you, kid.” He says while holding her hand.

[attr="class","star2tsu"]You feel the weight of all his expectations, his wants and desires for the future. [break][break]

A future lost for his brother but something he can place on you. He can make it all right again, somehow. All the ways he messed up in the past, he can fix them again if he can somehow fill your vacant heart with all those dreams.[break][break]

It's so warm. So very warm. His hand nearly burns as you grasp it. [break][break]

And being in his sight, it makes you melt. You're sweating as you gaze up at him, cause it's so fucking hot. The future that glimmers with hope, a shining star in his eyes that makes you perspire under its blazing pressure, it's so goddamn hot. [break][break]

To someone cold-blooded like you, it's unbearable. [break][break]

But you can't look away. [break][break]

Cause this guy, you know the future in his mind is the one thing she wanted as well, your precious friend who just wanted a happy world where everyone is safe and happy. He's just like her in the end, someone who loved the world with all her heart.[break][break]

So you can't look away, even gazing into the sun.[break][break]

"Yeah... just like down there, huh? You're following me around... some people would call that stalking, Michael Navidson."[break][break]

Its a thorny reception. Something to make him bleed a little, so maybe he'll burn a little of that light away, make all that hope a little less of an eyesore. But you hold back, cause you know if you give him everything he'll just wear those thorns as a crown.[break][break]

"... Your pokemon... is everyone, you know... did everyone make it back okay?"[break][break]

What can I say?” He says the words with a soft laugh. The window’s open. Down the way is the sea. Any other day, any other time, it would be such a warm, welcoming sight. You’re never far from the sea in this town. The new life she woke up in, down by the seaside, it’s not a good one. Not today. He’ll protect her from that if it burns him out.[break][break]
I’m just too damn stubborn for my own good.” That settles the matter in his mind. Too stubborn by half. Nurses scramble past the door. This hospital is filled to the brim, like the stomach of a glutton that never knew when to quit. It’s about to burst. It was overbooked half an hour ago. Helicopters blare overhead. Pokemon screech. Critical cases are being airlifted to bigger hospitals.[break][break]
What a disaster.[break][break]
Pretty much everybody on my team made it out alright. Got this guy.” He says, pointing to the silent, stoic bear that guards the door. Navy so casually introduces her to a legend. Urshifu, king of fighters. Not unique, the way the gods of the world are, but so rare and elusive as to transcend into legends. Navy introduces him like it’s no big deal.[break][break]
Maybe Shouko has a point about him.[break][break]
Roland…well…he’s different now.” Navy doesn’t want to admit he’s gone. Pulling out one of the pokeballs left to him, he lets out the creature that will come to be called Iron Valiant. It is a beast of chrome. A parody of the chivalrous knight Navy once held dear.[break][break]
It surveys Tsubaki with cold eyes but returns to his ball without complaint.[break][break]
You? Lose anybody? Heard the casualty list is insane down there.

[attr="class","star2tsu"]Become one with the void and a strange sense of kinship comes to those made up of the impossibilities in that sea. [break][break]

A creature born of imagination, fighting spirit manifest. A creature born of a future not yet determined, a walking paradox. [break][break]

They are both related to you now. You feel it welling deep inside, a strange sense of family.[break][break]

"Luckily... the only one I lost was myself, for just a little while."[break][break]

A kiss from an angel, transparent appendages that held you in loving embrace pulling you to the bottom of the deep. They stole a part of you, a part that's missing even now. There is a piece of you in the abyss, and it calls for you to save it.[break][break]

"I'm alright, Navy..."[break][break]

You reassure him. [break][break]

Really, you reassure yourself. [break][break]

There's only so much you can say or do to reconcile what you've seen, what fresh horrors and hell you've witnessed, visions you've glimpsed, and what the deep has whispered from its depths as you gazed straight into it and it also straight through you. [break][break]

You lost your mind for a little while, became something you weren't anymore, something you swore you would never be again. [break][break]

You can blame it on the neurotoxins. In truth, they just brought out what was already hidden underneath, dredged it from the depths of your heart.[break][break]

"I fought Rockets... I fought... lots of people. I know that much, but... it's like waking up from a bad dream... After the initial shock, everything... kinda fades. I dunno what happened down there... really."[break][break]

You speak til your ailing voice threatens to lose itself completely. [break][break]

But, you haven't spoken to anyone since you got here. Even if the nurse seems about ready to step in, to press you back on the bed and tell you to rest, you'll be damned if you aren't gonna speak to the guy to whom you owe everything. [break][break]

She seems to sense that, and says nothing.[break][break]

"... I know I saw... you."[break][break]

It's hard to distinguish delusion from fact. At least, right now, before things have settled.[break][break]

There's still venom in your system, they said. It's still being circulated from your bloodstream, but there are parts of your psyche they fear might be forever changed. You'll need regular checkups to ensure a proper recovery.[break][break]

Still.[break][break]

All that said, you remember him clearly. Whether it was a hallucination or not, he rescued you from the depths, and that counts for something.[break][break]

"... dunno... if I said... thanks..."[break][break]

Two times now, at least.[break][break]

A debt incurred two times over.[break][break]

It feels good, getting some recognition. The warrior listens to the worlds the girl would say to him. He does not dwell on what they saw in the sea, even as it pulls at his mind. They’re just two civilians, caught in the middle of the crossfire. They, along with so many others, will bear the scars from this day for years to come. Maybe for the rest of their lives.[break][break]
But a man does not have to be defined by his scars. They can add color, but there’s more to life than those battle wounds. They’re more than the sea. More than the rift. They’re people. Navy and Tsubaki. A white camellia in bloom and a raging fist.[break][break]
Don’t mention it, kid. Any time.” Navy speaks like he hasn’t done the impossible for this woman more than once. Helped get her out of Kanto, helped her set up in Hoenn, helped her out of the rift. That’s just what it means to be someone’s guardian – you guard them, come what may. No matter the battlefield, the avenue, the theater. You protect that person, come what may.[break][break]
We can talk about what you saw down there later. For now, I’m just glad you’re okay. I’ll chat your ear off some other time.” An idea dawns in his head as he’s about to get wheeled out.[break][break]
Hey. They’ve got a PC around here somewhere. I can grab Voyager for ya, if you want some company.

[attr="class","star2tsu"]'Any time'.[break][break]

As if you could put your life on the line and do the impossible at 'any time'. [break][break]

You don't know what to do with that. He downplays it, makes it out to be some everyday thing, but you remember him diving into the void and lifting you out. It wasn't nothing. It's not something you can forget just like that. [break][break]

You're falling, a sensation like you're sinking.[break][break]

You squeeze his hand tighter. As if you're gonna slip back into the void, as if you're gonna fall through reality right here and drown. It's the grasp of someone hanging on for dear life. Only for the neurotoxins, the numbness, the weakness of your muscles that you don't drag him down with you.[break][break]

It almost takes you by surprise how easily it passes then. [break][break]

The void-sea lies eternal, calling for you. You thought it might take you again. But he's still standing over you, still reassuring you. Sumire squeezes ever so slightly tighter around you, a tether to this world.[break][break]

And you nod your head. Silently at first, your voice shot. Even that much, it was everything you had. The poison got into your nerves, into your brain, and it's stripped you bare, what you are laid naked for the rest of the world to see. No pretense, no facade. You're greedy. Because you want any sort of attention, even in this state, that makes you greedy.[break][break]

"... Yeah. I do.[break][break]

"But, Navy... please, come back."[break][break]

You plead with him. Afraid he's going to sink into the sea himself. [break][break]

That he's here in front of you now, that could change at any moment. If it happened down there, it could happen here and now, too. If this is a dream just like that sea, where the dead came back to life, where the impossible was possible, then... what you're seeing could very well be a dream too. Even as that reassuring squeeze of his hand feels so authentic...[break][break]

You don't know, you don't care. You just don't want to lose your sole link to the part of you that feels real.[break][break]

I’m not going anywhere.” A promise to himself as much as to her. Shuwen senses what’s to come. He moves to the wheelchair, turns it on its heels, and starts rolling Navy away to the PC. He squeezes Tsubaki’s hand one last time. He’ll be back in just a moment.[break][break]



We made. We made it, Baki.” He chants. The nurse doesn’t look happy, but when you’re dealing with a pair of heroes, it’s hard to tell them no on things. Whatever tomorrow holds, for now, the League is affording them every privilege they could conceivably ask for. Navy rolls to the computer, grabs a red ball, and returns.[break][break]



Voyager sniffs his way to Tsubaki first. Struggling through the crowds, he bursts into her room and jumps on her bed. He forgets his own weight, laying there on top of her and snuggling. Licking at her face, keeping her warm. His fur is warm. The organs inside make being near him like being near a warm, cozy fireplace. He rolls on top of her. Smiles at her, if such a creature can smile…[break][break]



And Navy is right there. Smiling. Watching over her. Despite his own wounds, grievous as they are, he is there for her until the doctors force him back, force him away. Even then, he finds her again. He finds her on that first night, almost falls into bed with her. He doesn’t want to let her out of his sight, lest she slip beneath the waves.[break][break]



But she doesn’t. Neither does he. That brief episode of their life is done. Now, it’s on to what comes next.

[attr="class","star2tsu"]It is a comfort like coming home.[break][break]

Until it happens, you don't even realize how much you missed this. [break][break]

Fur warms you, and you realize just how cold and lifeless you had felt. Something soft graces your skin, and your realize just how uncomfortable it is in this hospital bed, with sheets the consistency of paper. He licks your skin, and you realize, as if feeling it for the first time all over again, just how good it feels to giggle. [break][break]

Most of all, his unabashed affection and his loyalty remind you of Navy, this man who has in such little time saved your life countless times.[break][break]

And you realize, just how lost you might be without his guidance. You have only known him a short time, but in that time you have begun an entirely new life and he has shown you some small sense of normalcy that you had thought was lost to you. [break][break]

You clutch the Arcanine in front of you and hold him close. Until it gets dark, until the lights go out, until everybody leaves. Even if they drag Navy away, they can't pull the weight of this gigantic pokemon away from you. They leave him be, because he is harming nobody. Finally, finally, you drift off, into dreamless sleep. [break][break]

The night is a cacophony of illusions and hallucinations all the same. [break][break]

In a way, you feel as if you had never left the deep. It encapsulates everything you are. [break][break]

You are floating. Transparent, floating ghosts carry you along in swarms. And you know that you will never die.[break][break]

Your heartbeat in your head. A heartbeat that is both yours and something else, something larger than you could ever know.[break][break]

Your father speaks to you of something unintelligible. Important words you know you should never forget, but lost completely as if you were submerged underwater.[break][break]

And finally, you see Navy, standing over you in your dreamless sleep. You sleep so light you're nearly awake, but as you reach toward him, your eyes flutter open, and he's gone.[break][break]

You simply have the warmth of Voyager laying atop you, keeping you warm. Keeping you alive, for the poison in your veins, in your heart, in your mind, it is as cold as the void itself. He is your lifeline. And you hug him closer, as the night reaches slowly toward the morning hours, as time creeps ever so steadily onward, feeling so very slow and so very fast all the at the same time.[break][break]

"He kept me from... falling in..."[break][break]

You tell Navy that in a whisper the next morning. Voyager, who kept you from slipping back into the sea, licks your cheek. And you can't help but smile. IT pains you, but you smile all the same.[break][break]

"He's a good boy."[break][break]

You pet him softly. Feel his warm fur. Feel it, actually feel it, as the numbness slowly subsides.[break][break]
