[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]Corviknight were big birds. That meant, when one wanted to get loud, it got loud.[break][break] Isaac, who had been taking a much needed nap beneath one of Petalburg Woods' larger trees, found himself learning that lesson the hard way. The force of its bellow was such that the snow was shaken right off the tree's branches, burying Isaac with an unceremonious plop.[break][break] Zephyrus the Dragonite couldn't help but snicker at his trainer's turmoil, even as he helped unearth the poor guy. Each beat of his wings sent more snow flying away from Isaac. All the while, Isaac groaned, less bothered by the cold than he was by the untimely end to his nap.[break][break] Just when they thought they were done, another treeline-shaking caw rumbled through the forest. If Isaac was still groggy, that living alarm clock sure as hell snapped him out of it. "Leave it to me, buddy," he assured the Dragonite, giving him a pat on the flank. "I'll figure out what's up."[break][break] Luckily, the outskirts of town weren't too far from the forest. Even more luckily, who Isaac sought out was nigh impossible to miss. Saddled up with a massive bag of gifts, and debating spiritedly with what was presumably their trainer, the Corviknight of the hour was an obvious spot on the horizon.[break][break] " 'Tis the season, eh?"

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]"Ah, don't sweat it. I've got better things to do than nap the day away, anyway." For once in his life, he really didn't. Isaac didn't like that. It felt weird! It should have felt freeing and relaxing, but instead it just made Isaac feel jittery. Was that what happened when you spent so long in go go mode that you no longer knew how stopping felt?[break][break] He'd have to interrogate himself about that later. For now, there were bird problems.[break][break] The girl looked Isaac up and down, as if trying to figure something out. She asked where he was from- wait, hold on. Why did that matter if he lived here if she was just gonna ask him about going somewhere else? Ah, it didn't matter. The girl was clearly frazzled, and looking for that little hint of small talk to ease into the favor she was about to ask.[break][break] Delivery work, huh? Man, Isaac missed Locke.[break][break] Maybe that was why, when asked to find a way to help her cross the whole damn region, Isaac's response was simply to grin. "So. You need a hand getting to Lilycove, eh?" For a moment, Isaac considered just running over to the Pokemon Center and picking up Reverb for a teleport. Why stop there, though? That was no fun.[break][break] Instead, his smile took a turn for the daring as he pondered a much more fun plan. "Ah, what the heck. I think I've got an idea on how to help," he said. He stepped around the Corviknight for a second, checking to make sure the big bird's saddlebags were properly secured. "Just make sure these are strapped down all nice and good, alright?"[break][break] Things were about to get intense.

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]"Okay, okay, sheesh, I get the hint." Isaac flashed the Corviknight an apologetic smile. The big bird probably registered Isaac's routine check as an attempt at getting him to move. Technically, he was right, but not in the way he'd expect.[break][break] "Don't worry, big guy. I'm not here to ask you to fly. The bosslady's been running you ragged enough as is." There was a cheeky, teasing edge to his voice. Arceus knows both halves of this duo were stressed messes. "Tell ya what. You let me do my thing, and you get a big heaping bowl of curry for it. And all you gotta do is sit back and relax. Don't even have to move a muscle. Fair deal?"[break][break] Getting paid to not do work. If this was a union busting, Isaac was trash at it.[break][break] The offer sounded impossible. However, there was no nefarious edge to Isaac's voice or secret scheme brewing behind his eyes. If anything, he sounded completely genuine. Further confusing matters was the fact that, as he waited for a response, he started doing warm up stretches. It was as if he'd planned on slinging the Corviknight over his shoulder and sprinting over to Lilycove. But that would be impossible.[break][break] Right?

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]"Just a bit of banter," said Isaac as he rolled out his shoulder. "Little bit of banter with the boys goes a long way, yeah? Makes the job a bit easier for 'em." The team that played together, stayed together. All this tension was gonna get them nowhere.[break][break] The dramatic tension Isaac cultivated? That was a different story. "Telling's the boring half of show-and-tell," he said, stretching his legs out one last time to limber himself up. Once he was done, he took a few steps back, a daredevil's grin spreading across his face.[break][break] "I'm more of a show guy, myself."[break][break] With that, Isaac took off. For a second, it seemed like his plan was just going to be running right into the Corviknight. However, the more he ran, the faster he got. The faster he became, the more wind started to swirl around him. The more the winds swirled, the more they seemed to swallow up Isaac, until soon there was nothing left but a raging tempest. Undaunted, it rocketed towards Corviknight.[break][break] The big bird would be completely unharmed. In fact, the winds would supportively buoy him from below, allowing him to float without expending a shred of effort. It was as if he was a giant, giftwrapped kite. As if to demonstrate, the wind that was once Isaac drifted around June, carrying his new companion in large, lazy circles.[break][break] "It's your lucky day. I got room for one more," Isaac's voice said, a distant echo dancing across the wind. "So catch a ride, sit back, and enjoy the view. I'll get you two to Lilycove in no time!"[break][break] Were June to accept, Isaac treat her to a firsthand demonstration as to just how fast the wind could be. With her and her Corviknight safely nestled in his jetstream, he would take off down the route in a blur of black feathers, rushing winds, and pure Wintertide merriment.

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]"It's real relaxing once you get used to it!" Emphasis on once you get used to it, as El Sunderland and the Megalopian they'd escorted out of the Lesser Megalopolis learned the hard way. Someone of Corviknight's constitution would haven no issues, but poor June might need some time! "S'like you can watch the world blurring on by without a care in the world."[break][break] Sure enough, Route 102 was already starting to look less like a path through the woods and more like a smear of green on the horizon. The grass rippled and pulsed out beneath their feet, the winds fast enough to leave them shaking but gentle enough to avoid tearing them out from the ground below.[break][break] At one point, a wild Zigzagoon leaped out to try and challenge the "approaching trainer." However, much to its surprise, it seemed to slip right past the group before it could begin its futile battle. The confused Pokemon simply spun out to a graceful stop, blinking in surprise as it watched them disappear on the horizon. Not only were they fast, but right now they were pretty much untouchable, too.[break][break] It didn't help that Isaac was hellbent on flexing. When one of Hoenn's many ridges came into view, he banked off of it to give June and Corviknight their first real taste of hangtime. They sailed clean above the ground, not landing until they approached the small lake right at the edge of the group. Again, the winds sheltered them, leaving both them (and the presents) safe and dry as bow waves kicked up to their left and right.[break][break] How quickly had they made it to Oldale Town? It felt like no time at all . . . and yet, with Lilycove an entire region away, even this speed was going to make it a close call. One second, they were in the town. The next, it was but a distant memory as Isaac banked a hard left. "How're you two holding up back there?" he asked, figuring he'd gauge how they were feeling before slipping onto Route 103. There were some serious corners he could cut here, but only if they were ready.

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]"Technically, I've had my life saved by a legendary, and since then we've been bound to each other." You know. In case what was happening to June wasn't already unbelievable enough. "But magician's a lot more fun. So, fuck it, magician it is!"[break][break] As they passed town limits, June asked why Isaac chose then of all times to check up with her. She was both distressed by their high-speed adventure and concerned it wouldn't be fast enough to make it to Lilycove. " 'Cause that was just the test run to see if you could take it," he said, voice almost singsong. "Now that I know you two can hang?"[break][break] "It's time to kick it up."[break][break] What seemed to be a glide across the waters of Route 103 was interrupted by a wave surging beneath Isaac. Rather than flow towards the shores on the other side, it appeared to swivel, instead pointing toward the cliffsides that housed the Altering Cave. Isaac vaulted off of the wave, and now the trio were climbing the cliffside with the same practiced ease he'd use to rush across the grasslands.[break][break] "Hold on tight-" To what!? " 'Cause this is gonna get bumpy!" Hoenn's aerial Cycling Road, miraculously untouched by the endless destruction this region faced, came into view as they passed the peak of the cliffside. Isaac wasn't heading to the entrance of the road. He wasn't scaling down the cliff. Instead, with one most big jump, he prepared to cut the gordian knot clean in half.[break][break] Bikers of all stripes were surprised to see a trainer and a Corviknight drifting along the breeze, "jumping" between sections of Cycling Road like some kind of fucked-up Mario. "Used to take my motorcycle out here. I know, I know. It's for pedestrians. But, hey. A bike's a bike, right?" The wind seemed to pulse from Isaac's nostalgic sigh. "Arceus, I miss that thing."[break][break] If there was any melancholy, it wouldn't last. They were approaching the Mauville city limits, and that meant they were almost halfway there. It wouldn't be the most direct trip. Isaac would unfurl from the winds for the briefest second to mug for the challenger cameras at Josh Devlin's gym, and a stray gust would trade the Castelliacone a vendor was whipping for some crisp bills. At least now June would have something to snack on during the trip, her cone as equally protected from the turbulence as she was.[break][break] "Woulda loved to do some sightseeing. But I know you've got places to be," Isaac said. "Good news, though. We've got another shortcut coming right up!"

[attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","textbox"]Alas, his peace offering wasn't to June's taste. "My b. Next pitstop, I'll grab something on the savory side," he said, as if he was planning a road trip instead of how to best wield the power of the gods. " 'Least you enjoyed your treat, big guy."[break][break] Less enjoyable was the idea of Isaac smashing clean through the forests surrounding Fortree to fast track them towards Lilycove. "Nah, nah. Not with passengers," Isaac said. "Just me, and I could wind through 'em without even touching a leaf. But while the winds'd keep you guys safe, we'd end up wrecking the woods along the way. Not happening." All that time tending to Petalburg made him a little ecologist. Who knew?[break][break] "Nah, right now it's just a straight shot forward across the route." When he wasn't worrying about acrobatic feats or toying with the waters beneath him, Isaac could afford to pick up the pace. Seaspray and sand billowed in their wake as they launched across Route 118, and the criss-crossing maze of ridges that slowed down Route 123's travelers barely even stood in their way.[break][break] Water had been where this leg of their journey started, and water, too, would be where it ended. Mt. Pyre hung in the distance, the shimmering rift connecting Hoenn to the Border still visible through its perpetual veil of fog. Even from such a distance, Isaac knew the sight well. Some nights, when he tried to lay down and sleep, it still haunted him.[break][break] Typically when visiting the mountain, Isaac kept any use of his powers to a minimum. Part of it was out of respect for the dead. Part of it, all the more relevant, was the lingering trauma from his last visit here. However, this time, he didn't have much of a choice. He had to get from Point A to Point B, and the waters around Mt. Pyre were the only path there.[break][break] He wondered if his Kiryu could see what he could do now. He wondered if she was proud.[break][break] Rather than take the direct approach, he gave the mountain wide berth. Even then, peals of fog stretched towards the windswept trio like the cold, clammy fingers of a ghost. Little swirls of wind pushed back against them, preventing them from ever reaching June or her Corviknight.[break][break] "Once we're past here, we'll be at Lilycove." Even Isaac's voice was a hair quieter than before, the merry bravado he'd shown for most of their journey lost to the fog in his head.
