I, REMINISCENCE[attr=class,bulk] Staring awake at the ceiling of a broken home, Derek ponders his life up until this point. Whether the good of his deeds outweighed the bad things he's seen and endured. It was a torturous thing to do to himself, quelled only by the bottle at his side. The one thing helping him...to...sleep... [break] [break] ... [break] [break] "Jonesy, wake up! We can't be late!" The sound of an alarm causes the GYM LEADER to bolt upright, realizing he'd overslept. It was the day of his first gym challenge, and the little guy was supposed to be learning how to battle. Little time is spent getting ready before the trainer whisks the little Sobble out the door, destined for Petalburg Gym. [break] [break] The chaos of the match encapsulates Jonesy, to the point it was no longer a lesson, but entertainment. Even in defeat, Derek tossed the young trainer a badge for their efforts. Congratulated them for sticking to their guns to whatever end awaited them. [break] [break] "So what did you learn?" [break] [break] There is no answer to the words falling upon the Sobble. Jonesy doesn't understand why he awarded them a badge when they lost. Derek does his best not to look disappointed, but it shows as a tug at the corner of his lip. "C'mon, what did you see?" [break] [break] Jonesy offers an answer by pointing to Derek, suggesting he was the winner of this contest. [break] [break] "So you didn't really pay attention to that kid or his pokemon, did you?" [break] [break] Upset at what felt like a scolding, Jonesy sinks into himself, remaining silent. [break] [break] "Then you should've at least realized Randal almost lost." [break] [break] Another look shows Derek's Machamp falling to it's knees, the poison exacting it's toll and gradually causing the gym leader's pokemon to collapse. "It was more of a tie than anything else." A hand reaches out with a pokeball to collect the Machamp before moving to pat the Sobble on it's head. "But I can't afford sending you out there if you're not ready. I'm sure you want to because she never let you. So if you really want to fight out there, then I need you to prove it. To us. I can't risk you getting hurt, y'know?"
