[nospaces] [attr="class","petalbasetsu4"] [attr="class","star1tsu4"] [attr="class","circleoutline1tsu4"] [attr="class","starimgtsu4"] [attr="class","star2tsu4"] "F-fuck you."[break][break] That's the only way she could respond to something like that. [break][break] Touting her own words, reflecting them back to her like that. He knew her well enough to know how to piss her off.[break][break] She listens, pretending she doesn't hear him as she stares out at the sea.[break][break] Back in Kanto it was a beacon of hope. A place that wasn't that hell hole, anywhere, lied beyond the horizon. One day, she told herself, she'd cross the sea and be able to be someone. Be herself. [break][break] But now that she was here, it felt so stifling. [break][break] The sea's what kept her here on this remote rock. it surrounded them. Idyllic vistas became so ordinary she hardly even gave them the time they deserved. It lacked the culture, the breadth of the city. She thought she'd hated all that til she'd gone without. Ten miles in any direction, and you'd be met with the sea. You couldn't escape yourself here, couldn't run from anything.[break][break] Did she really wanna tether herself to this rock?[break][break] Made it hard to swim.[break][break] "I'll think about it, Navy."[break][break] She says it with a sigh, after a long silence.[break][break] She knows he won't take no for an answer.[break][break] "Gotta get stronger. That's true. And that's one way to make it happen, I guess. I just..."[break][break] She trails off.[break][break] Would the League accept a defector among their ranks? As an officer, sure, she could skate by under the radar... but this was levels above. Gym Leaders were exemplary, and she was anything but... [break][break] ... and replacing Navy, of all people...[break][break] "... It's a hard ask. You know that. Like... why me, of all people? Especially with my past, the shit I've done... you know if it ever came out, it'd ruin your reputation that you even associated with me, right? Especially if I was your chosen successor.[break][break]
"And! That'd make me a high-profile person-of-interest. It'd attract unwanted attention, it'd out me. No way Rocket sees my picture on an official league doc they're gonna fall for the glasses thing. [break][break]
"Nobody cares about some kid on a remote island, but they will care if I run a Gym, act as Dewford's representative."[break][break] Not that she's afraid of that. [break][break] If it was just her they were after, she wouldn't care. But this town doesn't deserve that kinda attention after the kind year it's had.[break][break] "... Just seems like an impulsive decision."[break][break] As if either of them are a stranger to those.
