“You wanna hear the cold, hard truth?” This is something he shouldn’t admit – not out loud. Even if it is the truth, it is still an awful truth. All the same, his volition losses. He decides to give Priam something juice. Maybe this egg will hatch into calamity, maybe it won’t.[break][break]
“Think I understand your side more than I do mine. At least…I think you guys are more honest. Governments suck.” Candor resounds across the battlefield. “Society, civilization, they let people who have no business climbing to the top get there. I see one of you guys across the way? I know you know the score. It’s on. We can fight as much as we want.”[break][break]
Valhalla, a warrior’s paradise, sounds like a wonderful afterlife. He dreamed of it once. Knowing what would happen to the weak in that dream, he rejected it. To indulge in the blood meridian cresting the horizon is to validate a world he despises.[break][break]
“But…this is where I’m supposed to be. I could survive in the world you guys wanna make, but plenty of people I know could—”[break][break]
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Gramps finally breaks through, his dragon pulse shattering part of the dome. Wanting in on the fun, the old dragon flits about the field, searching for something to fight.[break][break]
“Ha! Man, I love Gramps.”

"if you're thinkin' like that, then i guess i have nothin' else to say!"

the drampa breaks through the dome. priam punches the air as if his fists could reach the dragon while his gabite stares at his trainer, waiting for a directive of sort based on priam's slightest body language and posturing.

"but i think you got the read on me wrong. i ain't here because i have some philosophical reason. i'm here 'cause fate said so."

that was the story of most rockets that had been in the organization since kanto. some may have adapted and shifted their opinions based on their circumstances, but priam remains in the middle, like every other grunt who believes they have no agency in the world.

priam turns to navy's pokemon, ready for another round with the drampa.

"ya wanna fight again?" he shouts. "we ain't backin' down anytime soon!"

Priam is answered by a dragon rather than a man.[break][break]
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Gramps’s hyper voice blasts outward in an explosive display of force. Navy’s faux grandsire, much like himself, is a premier hypocrite. He wanted to drift around, not get involved, and then got angry when events started passing him by. Gramps has arrived late to the party, full of piss and vinegar, ready to play catch-up.[break][break]
“Damn, that’s loud!” Kneeling, he speaks right into the receiver, holding his ear close so he can catch whatever Priam says back. It’s no fun, being down here, unable to see the battle.[break][break]
“You’re the kinda guy who believes in fate, huh? You think everybody’s got one set destiny?” Navy doesn’t believe in something cosmic like that. Destiny is a notion so far removed from day to day life as to be nonexistent.[break][break]
“Also, uh, not usually one to backseat drive, but can you shut Gramps up?”

"what can i say? i'm just romantic like that!"

it's always easy to blame something out of your control when life crumbles before your eyes, but deep down, priam knows that if he wants to get something, he has to take it himself.

it doesn't help that he usually isn't in the position to do so, however.

"if ya really want me to, then who am i to deny someone who asks me something only i can do at this very moment."

he turns to his gabite. "hey! it's showtime, round 2!"

the gabite doesn't really understand what his trainer was saying with drampa's hyper voice, but he knows what the expression meant. it nods and roars back, which wasn't audible as the other dragon's voice drowns every other noise in the area.

he runs up and dashes, ready to dragon rush its fellow dragon despite the unfavorable position. the action overshadows the set up of stealth rocks that remain unseen, ready to detonate once the drampa takes the bait and meets the gabite at the middle.

“It’s pretty romantic to make your own fate.” The sheriff muses as he watches the two dragons begin their duel. Gramps roars, seeing red. He flies right towards the Gabite. Stealth rocks tear into his scales. They fly in bloody streams across the granite. His maw opens, trying to bite at the Gabite.[break][break]
“Thanks, bud. Now I can finally hear ya talk! Man. You got him pretty good with those stealth rocks.” Hands in his pockets, Navy shakes his head. “You ever watch battles on TV? Those rocks damn near make guys pop blood vessels over in Galar.”

the dragon rush was but a fake out.

noncommittal, like priam, the gabite reflects its trainer with a move that drags the situation for long instead of reaching the conclusion fast. priam holds from giving an actual command, watching his pokemon share his sentiment.

"huh? they actually use that move there?"

a sandstorm stirs in front of the drampa, using it to kill the gabite's momentum while simultaneously blinding the drampa. its opponent's maw finds not rough skin, but a few scales shed off to force itself away from the other dragon's grip.

the gabite fades again, naturally blending with its sand veil with the weather.

"i use it since it's convenient out in the field. you used spikes too on our last match, right?"

priam doesn't know the skarmory that used the said move is dead.

“Did I?” He asks an honest question before covering it with a grin. It was twenty years ago for him, the day when they first met in the Ultra Deep Sea. The man he had been then and the warrior he was now are two entirely different beings. One was ore, mined raw from the ground like so many wishing stars around Eternatus. The warrior standing at his gym leader’s podium is that ore refined into a blade.[break][break]
“I miss getting to pull stunts like that.” His hand goes for Ironsides’s last feather, the only remains of him on this mortal coil. “What I’d give to have my Skarmory back.” Talking to someone who didn’t know Ironsides all that well affords him a certain level of detachment, the capacity to talk about him with all the intimacy the words would carry were he talking to, say, kyle lopez.[break][break]
“Hey, don’t slack off down there!” He admonishes Gramps. Caught in the sandstorm, unable to locate the nebulous Gabite, Gramps throws up a light screen. It keeps some of the harmful sand away from him, but not enough. Somewhere in the sandstorm sits the veiled Gabite. Navy prays Gramps will be able to see him before the inevitable attack.

the screen collects the sand from the weather, blocking the annoyance out of the dragon's face. enough is gathered to form the next move right there and then.

"sand tomb!"

dirt and particles from the dust storm are used to attempt to trap the larger dragon. unlike the earlier variation, this attack was a more conventional one, localized to a target specifically to make it more difficult to move.

"don't you have a garchomp?" he asks. "just do the same thing with him!"

it doesn't occur to priam what might be suggested by navy's words. his mind subconsciously filters away such thoughts, fluidly moving on to more optimistic topics if possible.

Priam pivots, and Navy pivots as well. Some would say Ironsides’s death is a topic that’s been ran into the ground, but he would also politely punch anyone who voiced that idea in the face. Priam gives him something to latch onto, and so he does.[break][break]
“Vortigern? Shit, that guy wouldn’t be caught dead spreading some stealth rocks.” Navy’s chuckle is that of a father shooting the shit with a friend over beer. “Maybe one of his mates…they’re actually a lot tamer than he is. Well, unless you try and mess with their kids.” Vortigern’s Gibles run rampant through Granite Cave, treating the cave system like their own little paradise.[break][break]
“That’s a-”[break][break]
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Gramps blasts out of the sand tomb with his hyper voice, coughing up stand and searching for his foe.

slowly, but surely, the gabite whittles away at the drampa. priam and his gabite wasn't like the gym leader and his garchomp, but despite denying the realization openly, he knows the approach of the weak if they want to gain an advantage.

they can't win, but they can make it seem like it is.

"dragon rush!"

the sands dissipate, its form crumbling from the roar. from behind it comes the gabite, ready to strike with its body as a projectile. it rushes the drampa, launching itself towards its throat in its attempt to slam the bigger dragon to the ground.

"come on! come on!"

priam doesn't actually want to continue the fight, but they will if needed, as evidenced by their years of service.

And the gym leader, by contrast, is all too happy to keep the party going. Though he might advertise his gym as the dragon gym, he has a fighter’s heart. Give him half a chance, he’ll knock skulls and get his knocked in return all night long. It’s a simple life, but it’s his. Being a gym leader has its perks, like a steady supply of excellent trainers.[break][break]
“Come on, Gramps. Show ‘em what you’ve got.” Gramps has been pinned to the ground by Gabite’s fangs. Uncoiled like a snake, the elderly dragon voices his protest and tries to break free. Gabite are fearsome things, as Navy well knows. They are not to be taken lightly. Neither, he thinks, are Drampa.[break][break]
Gramps soars. He flies, even. He launches himself up, body coiling around the Gabite as it launches his throat. They lock in an intimate embrace, soaring higher, higher, higher…[break][break]]
“Don’t think either of them are gonna like it when they fall, huh?”

"gabby already fell from high above before," he tells navy. "he didn't seem to mind."

the gabite remained resilient even after the navel rock tower incident. this was nothing compared to it considering the stakes of a simple gym challenge.

blind loyalty to the cause is what cemented the pokemon to priam, and the cause right now is victory.

"stealth rock, gabby!"

within their grapples, the gabite cries, calling stones that emerge from the rubble. sharp stones float, layering on top of each other within the path of their descent.

the crash will hurt for both of them.
