Smog: Funeral For a Friend

POSTED ON Nov 13, 2023 15:09:18 GMT

the title of acedia incarnate starts to glitch out.

one of the dragonites drops in front of navy. a sacred sword finds itself planted on its back when it falls forward, and kyle can be found behind it without the skarmory feather.

the title assigned to him changes to 'player character', a title that doesn't indicate any specialty, but still recognized as a generic player of the board game that is hoenn itself.

"dude," he says, "you can't just force me into action like this. this isn't my style." kyle wasn't forced this time.

his poochyena tries to fight the other dragonite, but as common sense dictates, the smaller pokemon gets flung to the water without effort, leaving both runts of slateport's streets against the admin and the dragonite.

When he thought the end was coming, instead Kyle offers him salvation. Turning to face Kyle, Navy’s own name glitches. It jumps between ‘Discount Detective’ and ‘Bruiser Bestie’. The titles are a reflection of past and present. Who can say what his future title will be? Maybe he, too, can graduate to being a real Player Character.[break][break]
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret.” He grins like this was all part of the plan. “Anyone asks, Navy forced you to do it. Well, Mr. Protag, keep the dragons off me. My fists have a date with this guy.”[break][break]
And so, his fists didn’t keep his date waiting. Once, twice, he slammed the man with both fists. Knocked him silly. Navy, much like his father, doesn’t spare the rod. He only stops when one of the Dragonite turn to level an ice punch at him. The Bruiser Bestie’s reflexes let him throw the admin in the path of the punch.[break][break]

his poochyena was thrown off to water. his sword was stuck on the other dragonite's back. only weapons effective on humans were left in his person.

"easier said than done!" he shouts in protest.

he quickly makes an inventory of what options he has left. while one of them goes for navy, kyle shoots his stun gun at the injured dragonite. the piece of scrap conducts the electricity from it, delivering the shock through the skarmory feather that already pierced through its multiscale.

he is left with just a baton. with a dragonite still on navy's case, he has no other option but to rely on it.

as player character, higher beings may opt to use you as their avatar for the game.

an icon for terrakion appears beside his name, recognizing kyle's resolve to back up the one on the back foot. much like the shining skarmory feather, the baton presents itself as a sacred sword when kyle bashes it at the dragonite's back.

it stops, then turns to him in response.

"just finish your business!" he shouts to navy. "for the love of- just end this level, please!"

“Well,” the sheriff grins as his fist catches on fire, “since you asked so nicely, Mr. Leading Man…” Navy’s fist hammering against this nameless agent of Rockets past forces them across the event horizon. They are pulled from the past. They tumble through the here and now, then there and then.[break][break]
He sees his own body in a casket. Kyle comforts a young Gabe. His brother’s face catches on fire. It is not just his heart. His whole body burns. [break][break]
There is a flash of a world that exists only in dreams. In that world, he stands on a stage before a crowd. In his hands is an electric guitar. Every word and strum of the chord makes him puke black bile across the fans. No matter how much hate he expunges, there is always more. It’s never enough. He still feels the same on the inside. [break][break]
And then, they’re back. Both of them lay in the center of a crater. Hattori fights off paradox Pokémon and Rockets alike. Navy takes a heaving breath, finding his chest is on fire. He left some part of his soul in the mists. There is a price, a hefty one, for returning from the dead. [break][break]
“Kyle,” he dons howard slayte’s hat with steel determination, “we’ve got work to do.”

finally, the scenario ends.

the imaginary bond between him and terrakion severs itself with the fabric of reality taking them back from the world of the interdream mist. the last few moments in slateport doesn't give the a chance to see the actual conclusion of the takeover, but it fills him with satisfaction nevertheless.

whether their action made a difference in the grand scheme of things or not, he could say it is pretty fun to delude himself into thinking of taking control of his own fate.

"work? you barely just got back to your feet!" he retorts as they return.

one of his mightyena have escaped its ball, working side-by-side with navy's greninja. a protect z-move had been defending them before it cracks from prolonged use, causing the next move to crash towards them to knock the dark-type out.

"but i can't deny that that one liner is definitely appropriately cool to say."

he joins the fray as he replaces the fallen mightyena with a smeargle, activating the infinity energy in his sygna suit. small fry aren't worth facing terrakion, a trump card that kyle has learned to trust with his back against the wall.
