Gabe never made it this far. That thought crosses Sheriff Navidson’s mind as the elevator opens to the third floor. Gabe had seven badges, back when the requirement was eight. One short. He hoped to make seven into eight the day Sootopolis was attacked. That dream ended on the edge of some Rocket grunt’s knife.[break][break]
We’re at war. He thinks as he walks down the hallway. Step by step, he makes his way to the office of Hoenn’s genius tactician. Though they meet on peace terms today, Navy knows he must meet Callan in his chambers soon. That is the one time they will ever meet as enemies. The warrior’s road has almost reached its end. If he can go but a little farther, he will stand at the mountaintop. There, with Callan and all the rest, he resolves to keep Hoenn safe.[break][break]
“Good to see you, Young.” Navy swaggers in with that same easy smile. His left arm still feels weak from the battle with Cillian Quinn. Like as not, it will never fully heal. Luckily for Navy, he’s a pokemon trainer. Vortigern, Hattori, and the rest will fight for him. He just has to direct them.[break][break]
“So,” he cuts right to the chase, “what’s the first question on the docket? What makes a good champion? What’re my weaknesses?” There’s no mockery in his voice, he simply knows the sorts of questions that get asked in interviews. In another life, the life of Michael Navidson the big brother, he did countless interviews.
