"congratulations are in order."[break][break]

though the two have yet to formally meet, he has been familiar with Navy for quite some time now, having looked into the man shortly after his appointment as dewford's gym leader.[break][break]

it's a simple story, one every child dreams of, but one that naturally appeals to those native to hoenn, alexander included.[break][break]

they wait in the back until called upon as the others are busy making final preparations for the exhibition match to come.[break][break]

"hoenn is lucky to have you, elite four navidson."

“Thanks, man.”[break][break]
Two words that carry much weight, spoken with the gravity they deserve. Before Kyle donned the champion’s mantle, Alexander wore it with honor. He died for Hoenn. Like Navy, he rose up to fight again after that death. There’s kinship there, two men that peered beyond the veil and lived to tell the tale.[break][break]
But there is more to it than that. Both his brother and Kyle speak well about him. Gabe called him the champion Hoenn deserved. Kyle fought with the man while he simply sat on the sidelines.[break][break]
“Glad you’re still around. Hoenn needs all the help it can get.”[break][break]
There’s dark days ahead. It was spoken of in prophecy. Yet Hoenn has its defenders. That’s what they’re here to show people. Soon enough, it’ll be showtime.[break][break]
“My brother thought the world of you. Probably bothered Kyle a hundred times to get your autograph.” A huffed smile accompanies the word, the sound of old memories tinting the mood brighter.

"and out of the hundred times, kyle likely only followed up once, maybe twice, i'm sure."[break][break]

though he jests, the way his smile alights speaks volumes of what he thinks of kyle lopez, hoenn's top champion. he had always seen the potential in the man, and he's glad to see their rise to duty.[break][break]

circling back to Navy, he plays coy and asks:[break][break]

"gabriel, was it? i remember signing something for him, though i can't quite recall what exactly."[break][break]

truth or otherwise matters little here. it's the sentiment that counts.[break][break]

"i'm sorry for your loss, michael."

“Navy,” He insists in as friendly a way he can, “please.” Michael is a name pinned to him like an arrow. Navy is the name of a kind soul, a name that reminds him a gentler world.[break][break]
“Guess you could say the name’s part of my branding.” His smile’s cavalier, something approaching a laugh on his lips. “…or it would be, if we were at peace.” The shadow of the war hangs over them still. It will until the day Rocket is no more and people are allowed to enjoy Pokemon battles simply for their own sake, without the fate of millions hanging in the balance.[break][break]
“I’ve been in a crisis or two in my year.” Which might be an understatement, were he not talking to the one they once called champion. He’s been through far more fires than most. “Don’t get how you guys do it again and again. Guess I’ll learn the hard way.” There’s quiet resignation in the smile now. He is exactly where he wants to be.[break][break]
“Any tips?”

"well, once you realize the consequences of not doing it again and again, it suddenly becomes far less daunting, but not any less taxing."[break][break]

he says, able to recall his struggles with more ease than expected, aided by the passing of time, he supposes.[break][break]

after a moment of pondering Navy's question, he responds.[break][break]

"surround yourself with people you trust. it's not easy, but it's more bearable with the right people around you."[break][break]

he offers a small smile to the elite four, knowing how daunting it must feel.[break][break]

"and, of course, be wary of who you trust. everyone has an agenda, especially the ones who say they don't."

“Agenda. Man, didn’t know how much I hated that word ‘til I got in AQUA.” His tone makes no attempt to mask his contempt. People’s lives are on the line, but people want to line their pockets, or risk everything for what they want.[break][break]
“You weren’t there at the tomb, yeah? When we all ended up in Galar? There’s one thing I miss from there.” There’s a lie in his words. He misses many things from Galar: his family, his Spectrier, and peace to name but a few.[break][break]
“Everybody was working together. Had no choice, or else none of us would get home. No war to stop us from saving the world. Felt…good.” A moment’s pause. Contemplation as synapses connect thoughts in a battered brain.[break][break]
“But the enemy doesn’t like that, huh? The enemies in Rocket and League HQ alike.”

"i wasn't, no."[break][break]

but he has been sure to familiarize himself with all that has happened, having personally spoken to those involved. he doesn't envy them; he cannot imagine having lived a lifetime only for it all to have been a dream.[break][break]

his curiosity rises at something in particular Navy says, unsure if they had intended to share it or if it slipped by in the heat of the moment.[break][break]

“I—” A pause as his mind tries to think of some cover story. It fails to conjure one.[break][break]
“Fuck it, I’m a terrible liar.” He speaks the words with a dry laugh. “There’s just someone I don’t like that I gotta work with. Guess it’s no different than any other job, you know? He killed some Pokemon I loved,” a burning memory of a threat given to Eris Halla plays across his mind, “said some mean things to a kid I care about a lot. We’re…still on the same side.” More hesitation, Navy’s telling himself that more than Alexander.[break][break]
“But he’s here, so am I. Neither of us are going anywhere, and Hoenn needs us both.” The words are beaten into his psyche like a blacksmith’s hammer beating a blade. An image flashes in his mind, a Skarmory burning so that he might live.[break][break]
“You never had anybody like that when you were Champ? Someone you hoped Goode would keep you far away from unless the world was ending?”

he knows who Navy is referring to, expectedly, as his role as advisor has allowed him access to an abundance of information he often pulls from and uses. it amuses him that they happen to be a silph as well, mirroring his own conflicted relationship with a particular councilman.[break][break]

"i did."[break][break]

his answer is kept brief.[break][break]

"but i didn't rely on commissioner goode. i took matters into my own hands because those situations require a more delicate approach. one wrong move and suddenly you'd find yourself falling."[break][break]

which he suspects has already started to happen but he hopes he's wrong. Navy seems like a good man.[break][break]

"you wear your heart on your sleeves, navy, but for your own sake, i hope you learn to be a bit more deceptive."

“Didn’t believe Melody when she told me how political it could be, holding an Elite Four seat.” He smiles, despite himself. Alexander isn’t wrong, but his advice is hard to swallow. [break][break]
Unless he lies by omission, it is hard for him to deceive. That he never went down for the great crime of his life is a matter of luck, a sadly common story where an investigation slipped through the cracks. [break][break]
“Guess I could stand to learn how to lie better,” he admits, before nodding out front, where an eager crowd awaits, “but I don’t ever wanna lie to them” [break][break]
There’s more he wants to say, much more. Unfortunately, as with so many other things in life, they run out of time. The announcer goes into a practiced speech that will lead into both of them getting called out onto the field. They’ll wear their smiles, they’ll play their roles. Hoenn will go on living, and Navy will stay a bad liar.
