[break][break]

Teach me.
[break]

had never learned to want.

[break][break] He had learned to live, to survive, to fight tooth and claw for the things that had been given to him and only for the things had been given to him. Dmitri had never taught his sons — or, at least, not Jayden — to desire. That would have weakened him. And what use did a devil have for a tool that didn't listen?

[break][break] That wished, that thirsted, on it's own?

[break][break] Absolutely nothing at all.

[break][break] Even in Dmitri's death, his influence still remained. Or it had until a greater devil had taken his place — until those fangs had sunk into the soft flesh of his neck and coursed through 's wound, taking claim to the very thing that most thought had never been there in the first place.

[break][break] But as cold and emotionless as could be, he was not made of marble. He was still human, despite everything.

[break][break]

We can be monsters together.
[break]

Jayden heaved a harsh breath, hands digging deep into the snow. Ice coalesced around him, falling him in place, as he kneeled before . Both her and had been training him in the ways of avatarships, likely for different reasons.

[break][break] He had asked Elisabeth for this, because she claimed to know the right of Gods more than he. Theo had taken it upon himself, to save him from himself and for Rocket.

[break][break] HATRED still pooled in his heart, dripping around the snow that crackled beneath his fingertips.

[break][break] If he shut his eyes, he thought he could still see the blurry shapes of all those traitors bearing weight. . . . His breath came out labored, difficult, as he pushed himself to his feet once more. His pale skin was laced with scars, a blanket of bleeding stars.

[break][break] He swallowed.

[break][break] "Elisabeth," he said, voice rough, as he came back to himself. "How was it?"

[break][break]

What did Elisabeth know of gods, in truth?[break][break]

Only that they hungered.[break][break]

As the underboss watched beat and bloody himself against the pristine white snow, she wondered what pound of flesh Chien-Pao had exacted from its Avatar. The Ruinous Beasts were different than other patrons, that much she understood. Even Tapu Fini held her at a further distance, one that didn't fully abate even when Wo-chien's influence lessened over her.[break][break]

She'd quietly observed others existed with far more harmonious bonds than their own. Lugia and . Xerneas and . Even and Darkrai. Rare was the Avatar burdened with such an exacting toll on their psyche; she could only count among their number, and even then, it was the Primal Energy that consumed him so thoroughly, not Groudon.[break][break]

Or so she assumed. And it was dangerous to assume anything of the divine, as she was quickly learning.[break][break]

"Adequate," she said in response to his question. Her tone came out clipped and stern, exhaled with a frosty puff of air. "And how do you feel, Cross?"[break][break]

She examined him warily, expecting something to be amiss. What that 'something' was, however, she still wasn't sure.

[break][break]

'How do you feel, Cross?'

[break][break] Just like last time, when had asked him, Jayden struggled to answer. His mind was a warzone to traverse, full of pockets of HATRED that were ready to detonate like concealed mines.

[break][break] . . .

[break][break] .

[break][break] His skin is white as snow, pale and slightly fatigued. was right. There was something off with him today, even moreso than usual. There was a heat to the way that he stared ahead, as he pushed himself to his feet.

[break][break] The pain in his chest swelled, opening up into a yawning crater. That aching loneliness persisted with each passing moment; the longer he was away from CHIEN PAO, the greater he felt it.

[break][break] Yearning for something to sink his claws into.

[break][break] "Better," he growled, clenching a fist into his side. "I think I'm getting better at controlling it."

[break][break] Ice crystals fell from his palm, tainting the snow with rosy blood.

The silent icelands.
[break][break]

There was no place quite as loud as it. No place as populated, with souls trapped in the way they died. Screaming for mercy. Screaming for someone, anyone, to save their pitiful lives from the one thing that could not be stopped: death itself. How harrowing the realization must've been. How absolutely dreadful.
[break][break]

Eyes sweeping her surroundings, the councilwoman was all but finished with her monthly routine, when a sudden inkling crept just above the surface. It immediately caught her attention, captivating her thoughts no different than how moths flock to flames. It was warm, burning with familiarity of a memory only recently reimagined.
[break][break]

Mt. Chimney.
[break][break]

As if freshly plucked from the rolling waves of molten lava, she could feel the imprint of the jade bead sink against her skin. A spectral reminder of the permanence of bonds. The weight of their meaning.
[break][break]

"Head back to HQ," she barked at the fill-in, "I'll be right behind you."
[break][break]

And she thought she would be.
[break][break]

Heavy footsteps punctured the snow, dispelling whatever façade of purity it held. Step by step, this feeling, whatever it was, continued to tug her along. Like Sisyphus, there was only one path forward. Denial was a privileges that already been forsaken long ago.
[break][break]

"..."
[break][break]

There, shrouded in washes of white, two silhouettes cut her vision. One looked to be a man, the other a woman.

Elisabeth stared at the welling red droplets that wept in 's wake, but said nothing.[break][break]

"You're tense," she commented instead, emerald eyes flitting over him as he panted. "If you need to release a wider range of attack, there's nothing here to stop you." She idly gestured a hand to the wide open expanse of white. "Do as you need."[break][break]

No one had looked over her during that first act of her Avatarship. Not that she'd have listened or welcomed such mentorship, but Elisabeth still remembered the loneliness of that time acutely, and how that loneliness had been answered for by a voice that grew louder and louder in her own head by the day.[break][break]

The faintest hint of concern colored her final words. "You have shown admirable restraint, but you can let go now."[break][break]

Overhead, her Mandibuzz kept silent watch from the barren treetops for intruders. The vulture's eyes narrowed at the sight of the distant redhead, feathers bristling at the sense of foreboding danger, and it released an ugly cawing sound in warning.[break][break]

Elisabeth froze in place, glancing over her shoulder to see the advancing figure.[break][break]

"Cross," she warned, and this time his name rang with the sharp whip of a command as she reached for a Pokeball at her belt. "We have company."

[break][break]

'There's nothing here to stop you.'

[break][break] Ever since the Cave of Origin, Jayden had practiced - whether willingly or not - the ability to restrain himself. In some ways, his whole life had been a practice in that very thing. Dmitri had forced him to bend to his will, to Rocket's will, in the most exact of way.

[break][break] Any step out of line, any threat of temptation, was quickly quashed.

[break][break] The DARKRAI brand around his arm, burnt into his flesh, was evidence of that. What would happen if he stepped out of line. It was why - for years - people like Jayden had learned not to feel anything. Feeling was a danger in itself.

[break][break] He'd never had a problem with that until CHIEN PAO had sunk it's fangs in and destroyed all the barriers that he had so carefully built up. The days after - full of fever and nightmare - had been a practice in trying to build those back up again.

[break][break] But now, here was telling him to —

[break][break] 'You can let go now.'

[break][break] It was too much.

[break][break] Her words were akin to a key sliding into an ancient lock, one that shattered as soon as they fell upon his ears.

[break][break] It was horrible timing.

[break][break] Immediately, the gates broke down. Shattered into place. And with that came the torrential downpour of HATRED that he had been holding back for weeks — wind lashed out into ice, whipping around him with all the ferociousness of a winter storm.

[break][break] Her lashing words felt deaf to his ears. Jayden heard nothing, felt nothing.

[break][break] He only felt HATRED.

[break][break] Blistered white and blue, his eyes met the gaze of .

[break][break] The Coveted.

"We have company."
[Break][break]
Their words were an indiscernible concoction of murmurs. The task of comprehension was like catching an alolan Vulpix in a blizzard.
[Break][break]
But that voice - there was no hiding it's grating pitch. The way it punctured her memories, hitting every vital point with the ease of an assassin.
[Break][break]
That was .
[Break][break]
Breathing, kicking, .
[Break][break]
Instincts slammed into gear, sending the councilwoman into a sprint. For every step she stole, a bubble of magma surged from the ground, searing her mark into world. Faster and faster, she ran toward the flickering shadows, her hands fiddling with the few poke balls strapped to her belt.
[Break][break]
A crack of scarlet was sent out and two figures emerged from its ashes. A talonflame, clinging to the skies, erupted into a deathly screech. The other, blaziken, a soldier to his commander, allowed silence to do his bidding.
[Break][break]
Together, the trio pushed forward, through the torrential downpour of sleet and snow, through the fears that clung to their ankles, begging for them to reconsider. All to be met with a roadblock the size of Mt pyre itself.
[Break,][break]
"You think that scares me, Elisabeth?"
[Break][break]
Steeled with confidence, her voice overcame the barage of warnings coursing through her veins. But then she remembered what death was truly like, and how peaceful it felt to fall.
[Break][break]
"Sorry to your friend," she nodded to her pokemon, issuing their commands. There was no telling what that was - whether it be a pokemon stirring the madness, or a simple man - but uncertainty doesn't win wars. Action does.
[Break][break]
To his command, Oliver, a talonfalon forged in gold, took position of their overhead, and with several flaps of his wings, summoned a heatwave to overtake the tornado below. All the while, Blaziken kept to Penelope's side. "But I've waited long enough."
[Break][break]
To solidify whatever the results of the heatwave were, another bubble of magma is formed below the storm's origins, and with one flick of her finger, it's consents jumped upwards, looking to burn the entire sky red.

The snowstorm surrounding sprawled out to terrifying proportions, and though it should have concerned Elisabeth most, the reaction of the redhead approaching them concerned her far more.[break][break]

All sanity seemed to have fled the councilwoman at the sight of her chosen nemesis. If anything, seemed to relish the idea of challenging Elisabeth in such unfavorable conditions.[break][break]

How quickly had Chi-yu turned Penelope mad? Had the League noticed it as quickly as Rocket had noticed it in Elisabeth? That question went unanswered as magma bubbled up at the base of the wintry tornado, casting frozen debris about.[break][break]

A GUST from Elisabeth's Mandibuzz sought to mitigate the damage, though the arrival of the Talonflame soon drew the avian's attention, turning the blustering winds its way to hopefully deflect the impact of the HEATWAVE.[break][break]

Emerald eyes glanced back to her fellow admin, to the red droplets that stained the ground beneath his feet. A moment's calculation preceded the Pokeball that she released next, an Aromatisse arriving at her side. Without a word, MISTY TERRAIN blanketed their surroundings, reminiscent of the BERSERK FOG that she'd wielded to escape the councilwoman on Mirage Island.[break][break]

"You're alone, Livy, and there are two of us. You're outnumbered. Desist now before you get outclassed."[break][break]

She kept her voice calm and level, silently panicked about the state of the man next to her. How viable was he in real battle? How much had Penelope advanced in power since Elisabeth had last fought her?[break][break]

The lack of Wo-chien and the frustrating unpredictability of Tapu Fini left her more reliant on her companion than she'd like.

[break][break]

If not The Border, the balance between life and death, then the home of CHIEN PAO would undoubtedly be the Silent Icelands. It was likely the reason why had chosen the location to test The Cursed's powers. In the middle of nothing but cold and ice, it was the safest place for the admin to test his newfound powers, without worry of injury or death.

[break][break] However, not even another could estimate the power of a Ruinous Beast, especially one so unrestrained.

[break][break] The councilwoman's appearance only made the winds grow fiercer as all their powers converged on one another, pink mist swirling around liquified magma as flakes of ice scorched the icy ground. Jayden turned on his heel just as the two women spoke to one another, eyes blistered white, his lips curled back into a monstrous snarl.

[break][break] Compared to 's calm and leveled words, his own words were full of scorching heat as they filled the air.

[break][break] "LEAVE."

[break][break] A sudden feeling overcame him, overtook him, as his gaze pinned on the unfamiliar sight of the councilwoman. Somewhere deep inside, he would recognize her to be someone that he knew. But for now, in this moment, he would see nothing else. Think of nothing else.

[break][break] The blazing red of her hair reminded him of only one thing.

[break][break] Inside of him, that monster roared to life. The very one that ached for the presence of another, the one that had created a crater in his chest that had not yet been filled.

[break][break] He snarled, spitting ice, as his Glaceon beside him roared with the power of a WATER PULSE to engorge onto the Councilwoman's bitter flames.

Since the very beginning, was always outnumbered. Outclassed.
[break][break]

She was a goldeen told she needed to run, to climb, to meet the expectations of her chimchar brothers and aipom sisters. People would come in cycles, trying to lure her into a false sense of security, only to leave when the going got tough. They all left her outnumbered, outclassed in the face of impossible standards. There was , then , then , and now where were they? Gone? A ghost on her contact list?
[break]
[break]

And who took their place?
[break]
[break]

No one.
[break]
[break]

"Stay out of this," she hissed at the man, venom thick in her voice. She'd given up too many lifetimes to let her go. If her life had to burn away for this, so would hers. "If you're so confident, then stop hiding back there like a coward and fight me."
[break]
[break]

From the skies, Oliver continued to wrap around the group, dodging the scattered twists of air the Mandibuzz had created. A large screech was all that was needed to summon upon a SUNNY SKY to the wasteland.
[break]
[break]

Penelope squeezed her fist and summoned an upchuck of molten lava in front of her and Blaziken, creating a wall just long enough to swallow the incoming waterpulse whole. Then, Blaziken kicked up his leg, summoning a row of risen rock (STONE HEDGE) toward Elisabeth, who apparently enjoyed cowering off on the outskirts.

Elisabeth's eyes flickered for a moment with an ochre hue, irritated despite herself at the other woman's taunts. "I knew you were overconfident, but I didn't realize you were so short-sighted."[break][break]

She resisted the impulse to summon her own Ruinous patron over such petty reasoning, though. She wouldn't succumb to that mental degradation for , of all people. She refused.[break][break]

Her Aromatisse acted first as the wall of stone barreled her way, retaliating with a MOONBLAST that sought to break apart the rock into smithereens. The MISTY TERRAIN bolstered the strength of the already impressive strike, making for a decisive lunar implosion that sent tremors out in all directions.[break][break]

Without realizing it, Elisabeth found herself stepping closer to , her role as mentor becoming far more intimate and urgent than she'd anticipated. If he'd allow it, she'd briefly let a hand alight on his shoulder, squeezing it with reassurance.[break][break]

The irony of her guiding a man like this, Rocket-bred and Kanto-trained, wasn't lost on her. She had no formal training in combat until joining Rocket two years ago.[break][break]

But surviving a gradual loss of sanity was something she'd practiced at for a decade.[break][break]

"You play at offense," she murmured to him, her words a whisper on the air, "and I will support you however you need. Say the word, and I will grant it."[break][break]

Then as she abruptly built distance between them again, her Mandibuzz dived towards the Talonflame with BRAVE BIRD, shrieking as it dove before the piercing sunlight with beak and talons bared.[break][break]

"You should listen to my companion," Elisabeth said then, raising her voice so the councilwoman could hear her. "You picked your timing poorly. Leave, Livy."[break][break]

We can kill each other another day.

"Tch. You think you can beat me?" [break][break]

Admist the storm of ice and snow, Jayden is brought back to the freezing memories of the CAVE OF ORIGIN. Against the blazing ice, the very phantom that consumed his nightmares, again and again. The sight of flaming red hair against a frosty backdrop, crackling amber that burned like the relentless flames of an everlasting ember.

[break][break] was standing there, but the only person that Jayden could see in that moment was the blight of Hoenn's very existence: .

[break][break] Whispering in the silent winds was at his back, her fingers curling around the frosted tips of his shoulder. Ice crystallized where her fingers touched, turning flesh into ice.

"Play at offense."

[break][break] KILL HIM.

[break][break] KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HER.

[break][break] Consumed by HATRED, the Cursed leaped forward into the molten lava wall with feverish desire. Heat consumed him the same as it had when had targeted him, crystallized armor forming around his arms as he plunged forward into the heat. He could hear nothing, see nothing, except those blazing eyes of gold.

[break][break] Rock broke into earth, separating the two Ruinous Beasts from . Ironic, considering 's desire to destroy the Scorned. Beside her, his Glaceon's body glowed indigo as a SNOWSCAPE tore through the air, cutting the SUNNY DAY right from the sky.

[break][break] The snowstorm ripped viciously around Jayden as he peeled past the councilwoman's wall of fire, a steel sword flashing into his palm in an instant. He swiped forward, aimed to slice the councilwoman's skull clean off her body.

[break][break] His hair burned a blizzard white, glimmering behind eyes of blistered blue.

[break][break] The Cursed, in this frostbitten storm, was full of nothing but absolute HATRED.

DETECT was the one thing standing between the councilwoman and her head rolling across the snowscape. In a burst of SPEEDBOOST, Blaziken tore through the frosted air, saving his trainer with one solid push.
[break][break]
"Fine," She grunted, eyebrows slanted downward, a scowl twisted across her face. "If you want to play the white knight, so be it."
[break][break]
Kicking backward, the councilwoman raised her arms, splitting the snow around her with an ocean of magma. Inexperience might've tamed its torch and reach, but anger fueled its bite.
[break][break]
All the while Oliver switched its target. The line of STONE EDGE not only isolated Penelope, but too. The talonflame aimed a FLAMECHARGE at the glaceon.

Will add pokemon sprites later but

"White Knight?" Elisabeth repeated, choking back an incredulous laugh. If anything, the man in front of them right now was a white wolf, and she was tasked to be his ill-equipped handler.[break][break]

She understood the nature of their patrons enough to know only a thin line of restraint prevented him from turning on her as readily as he did .[break][break]

Wincing, she glanced down at the frostbite that still stung her fingertips, curiously leaving behind a faint white scar in the stellar dendrite design of a snowflake. She buried her hand in her jacket for warmth, turning to glimpse out of the corner of her eye.[break][break]

A manic look had entered his flecked blue eyes, crazed in its bloodlust and HATRED as his hair became blinding snow-white. She recalled the blood in the snow, and immediately gestured to her Aromatisse.[break][break]

The HEAL PULSE from her Fairy-type abruptly manifested, not around Elisabeth, but instead around the Rocket admin as he faced down the councilwoman with all the fury of a raging blizzard. He needed to remain strong, upright, and fighting.[break][break]

He didn't understand his limits yet.[break][break]

Her Mandibuzz swooped low, a DARK PULSE rippling out in black energies to strike towards the Talonflame with a shrill cry.

[break][break]

KILL HER.


[break] could make whatever assertions she wanted. She could call him a hero, a savior, a protector of and all that she stood for. She could call him a shield of Rocket, a man so selfless that he was willing to lay his life bare for it.

[break][break] People might believe her too. The that most knew was a martyr. A man who had built his whole life around an organization intent on tearing him down.

[break][break] But the real truth was this:

[break][break] was no protector, no guardian, no defender of morality.

[break][break] Rocket had made sure of it. Through means of torture and endless suffering, they had honed him into a blade of unyielding steel, molded him into a creature fueled by nothing but hatred and destruction.

[break][break] THE CURSED was their weapon to wield.

[break][break] A sword without a shield, now that was gone.

[break][break] In other words, Jayden was their Black Knight.

[break][break] The flames came for him, all scorching heat and blazing fire, as ENVY merged with HATE. Imbued with COPYCAT flame, the Glaceon split through ice and snow, slamming right back into the Blaziken to meet mettle for mettle.

[break][break] "Arrogance will be your end," Jayden snarled, leaping to the side to the avoid the torrent of fire that Penelope sent his way. The STONE EDGE became their prison, erecting fast enough just for 's HEAL PULSE to strike him. To fill him with fuel enough so that he could dart forward, ice crystallizing around his feet and jutting him into the air. A broadsword materialized into his palms, metallic blue, as he slammed it down onto the space where the councilwoman stood.

[break][break]
KILL HIM.
