[nospaces] [attr="class","isaac2"] [attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]All Isaac could do was offer his former friend a smile and a wave. Next time, he knew he wouldn't be so lucky.[break][break] Unlike him, Knuckles didn't look back. Even as Infinity Energy flowed off of her in great, rolling waves, she forced herself to hold onto her form. She squeezed her eyes shut to stop the sand from stinging them. She clenched her jaw tight to stop herself from panting away all her air. She forced herself to run faster than her legs could carry her, even faster than she had back on Mt. Pyre.[break][break] Despite all of that, she found herself being passed.[break][break] Extrasensory power wrapped around the man braced against Knuckles' chest, slowly peeling him away from her. For a moment, she hung on all the tighter, a snarl spreading across her face. However, the second she realized they had been found by a friend instead of a foe, she allowed herself to relent.[break][break] As Isaac took a stumble forward, he found himself staring down a rather frustrated looking Suicune. Their red pupils seemed to burn holes through his skull, and their ribbons writhed in agitation. "Hey there, buddy. Good to see ya" Isaac started, only to find his voice dying in his throat. Suicune didn't want to exchange pleasantries right now.[break][break] Suicune wanted answers.[break][break] "Look, I had to try, okay? He had Luck & Pluck, I couldn't just-" Images flashed through Isaac's mind. Buffaloman. Pandora. Sanford. Hearth. Echo. All sacrifices made for Isaac, gifts given by Pokemon who loved him, losses that tore at his heart but, tragically, proved necessary. "It's different this time! I'm stronger now. I don't have to make them stand alone. I was-"[break][break] ". . . I was let go, wasn't I?" The anger in Suicune's eyes ebbed away, worry taking its place. "I lucked out. Because as pissed as he is, Bryan still cares. If I was anyone else, Luck & Pluck wouldn't have stood a chance. And then I would've died, too, so his death would've been in vain."[break][break] "Except, if it came to that, I know you would've been there."[break][break] This time it was Suicune's turn to look taken aback. "C'mon, don't look at me like that. I can feel your Pressure, y'know. And even if I couldn't, what're the odds you'd just run into me and Knux like that?" If Suicune was the verbal type, they would've been lost for words, and Isaac damn well knew it. "This was all some test. And . . . I guess I failed, huh?"[break][break] Suicune shook their head. Then, taking a few steps forward, they rested their forehead against Isaac's. The coolness of their crest, after all of the intense combat Isaac had been through, was like a breath of fresh air. He laughed a little, a few pained tears sneaking down his cheeks. "It's all so hard. You really put a lot on my shoulders, buddy. But . . . fuck it. "A lot"'s kinda been my thing for a long time now."[break][break] "It's gonna be a hell of a road. Be patient with this stubborn idiot while he figures it all out?"[break][break] If there was any doubt, the healing waters surging around Isaac washed them away. Energy flowed back into his body, finally giving Isaac the strength to stand for himself. The faith Suicune put in him, and the worry they harbored from afar, meant just as much to Isaac as Xerneas' diehard, frontline support meant to Bryan. Two different gods beside two different men, each sharing a love only they could.[break][break] Neither walked an easy road, and yet the two of them couldn't be luckier.
