Porter liked to think he was pretty okay at a number of things: he’d been a barista for a while, so he could make a mean latte; he’d had a green thumb since birth; and he was very good at swimming.
[break][break]
But if he was filling out, say, a resume, and there was a slot for dragon training: years of experience, he’d have to put a big, fat zero.
[break][break]
Ermenesande was willful, but he’d had her since she was an egg, and ‘tiri was still a baby.
[break][break]
T’neri was a full grown adult, with the scars to prove it, like rings in a cut-down tree. She was stubborn and, at times, vicious, and Porter was nursing a series of burns and bite marks, some from T’neri herself, and some from wild Pokemon she had decided not to intervene with on Porter’s behalf.
[break][break]
Luckily, the League had the perfect resource for learning how to deal with dragons.
[break][break]
“Once she was healed up, I tried to let her go,” Porter explains to , after a brief summary of his and T’neri’s relationship thus far. “I’d hate for her to feel… domesticated. But she wouldn’t leave.”

the dragon's own wounds, the worst of them, are reminiscent of lyune's. though this ranger has done a hell of a job patching her up, freya can see the twinging muscles on her shoulders, the intermittent flexing of claws when she shifts. she won't let any of her team close. she's still wild.

"you saved her life," she says, still watching the beast. "salamence value loyalty, even the wild ones."

they're in a secluded part of the draciary. other dragons that might have set her off are kept away. even lyune keeps his distance some yards off, large head on his paws and eyes trained on his mistress and the newcomers. 

freya's lips twitch. "don't you worry about her feeling domesticated. she's not going to turn into a mewling kitten. porter, was it? are you ready to tame her?"

Freya had known what she was about do a degree that even Porter found astonishing. Not that he’d doubted it, of course, but he hadn’t expected her to take a single look at the situation and go about arranging and ordering things. It filled him with hope.
[break] [break]
The sounds of other dragons calling in the near distance, like birdsong, almost distracted him. He rubbed a hand at the back of his head, frowning.
[break] [break]
“I… I don’t know,” he said, honestly, then flushed. “I mean, yes. Porter. Is my name. But, um. I don’t--,” he gestured at T’neri with both hands, “taming sounds so… like… brutal? I would just really like for her not to try and eat me.”
[break] [break]
T’neri lashes her tail, perhaps insulted at the thought of putting such junk food in her mouth.

"that's because it is," she says bluntly, but there's a hint of amusement in her gaze. 

she doesn't dare take another step closer to t'neri, but she does move in a wide circle around her. no doubt she's been pent up since the injury. the easiest way to treat her would be after expending most of her energy, but freya doesn't want to risk more damage until she's taken a good look at her wing and ensured it's healed properly.

the dragon lowers her head and hisses lowly. lyune hisses back, but freya waves a hand towards him. 

"she's itching for a fight," freya says and then tilts her chin towards her. "you have another pokemon on you?"

a pokemon he can depend on. better that than one of her dragons.

Porter does his best not to quail in the face of Freya’s frank approach to dealing with his inexperience. He does step back as she begins to move, watching closely, but feeling like he can breathe again, if only slightly, one she’d left his personal space.
[break][break]
T’neri turns, tail lashing, head lowered. Porter thinks, at first, Freya’s going to wrestle her bare-handed-- bring out some Kung Fu Panda like skadoosh that would turn the dragon to mewling pulp in her fingers-- but then she asks if he has another Pokemon and he startles and begins slapping at his pockets even though he knows where his Pokeballs are.
[break][break]
“Oh, yes. Um. Hold on.” He finally finds Ermenesande’s ball and releases the Empoleon, who, after a brief scan of the situation, locks her gaze in on T’neri, because she’s had to step in when the dragon’s become to rough-- or been too distant-- before.
[break][break]
“Are you going to want them to battle?” he asks, feeling a little stupid-- you’re not stupid, you’re just out of your depth-- as he does so.
[break][break]
Ermenesande’s head tilts at a sharp angle, low, warbling trill suggesting she might like that idea, a lot.

she doesn't yet know if he has it in him to tame dragons. he's timid and easily flustered. not good signs to start off with, but not impossible. people like have flourished here, working among the dragons. still, maybe she's better off starting him with a goomy than the cross salamence and its anxious hissing. 

when the empoleon emerges, freya is satisfied and nods to him before stepping away to join lyune's side. his presence will keep the smaller female in check. 

"you can't hold back," she says. "salamence - they're ruthless. she won't respect you until you beat her. really beat her."

He really tries his best not to show it but his face contorts in an expression of absolute horror almost without his permission. He covers his mouth and then slides his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Oh my god. Okay.”
[break] [break]
Porter’s whole creed is do no harm. His entire life has been dedicated to, essentially, the scientific study of doing no harm. The thought of physical violence makes his stomach turn.
[break] [break]
Which isn’t to say he’s not seen blood. He’s watched the ruthlessness of nature up close and personal many times. Braviary killing their newly hatched young; Arbok cannibalizing smaller members of their own species; male Pyroar killing unrelated cubs to bring a female back into estrus; a Tinkaton smashing in a Corviknight’s skull.
[break] [break]
But it’s different, when it comes from a place of humanity. There’s a power imbalance there. He specializes in rectifying ways humanity has harmed nature. Fixing it, running it back. In all those other situations, he was just a bystander, taking notes, watching from a distance, learning and gathering experience to further his own cause.
[break] [break]
He wants to close his eyes and shut out the stimuli and think. Think this through, examine what makes him so reticent about (attempting) to beat T’neri into the ground, consider how unsteady it makes him feel, and analyze the repercussions of it.
[break] [break]
But, fortunately for him, as it usually does, nature moves faster than he can think.
[break] [break]
Ermenesande has no qualms about beating the shit out of this interloping dragon. From empty air she summons founts of water, cloaking herself in it and shooting forward, golden pronged head couched for the charge.
[break] [break]
T’neri drops her head and roars. The Empoleon’s aqua jet brings her to within striking distance, placing her just off-center of the Salamence’s head, which she reaches for with metal claw, aiming to pin the oversized lizard down.
[break] [break]
Porter swallows. Ermenesande has always been willful, even as a Piplup, but she’s never inherently been bloodthirsty. He trusts her with his life, and so, with a slow, measured exhale, he lowers his shoulders, relaxing the tiniest bit.
[break] [break]
Maybe this is what nature, such as it is in this interaction, needs. Maybe Ermenesande knows, better than he does.
[break] [break]
Actually, that wouldn’t surprise him at all.
[break] [break]
“Are they all like this?” he wonders, his mind turning the problem around in his head, seeking the questions. Curiosity calms him, a little.

cadet holmes, she recognizes, is her antithesis. he is a thinker where she is a doer. luckily for him, his empoleon accounts for his shortcomings. while his empoleon spars with the dragon, freya examines the trainer, and finds his willpower...lacking. his curiosity, however, reminds her remarkedly of eva's. 

some of us aren't meant for war and yet it finds them, over and over and over again

"most of them, yes," she says and looks back at the battle - both sides are bloodied. limbs shake. commands lose any power as primal instinct takes over in totality. it'll be good for her, in the long run, to know she will not be made docile. 

"a dragon is never wholly tamed. they're not yampers or furfrou. mutual respect and loyalty, earning their trust - that makes you partners." t'neri slashes outward and rake across a steel defense. "they won't settle for anything less."

Porter, for his part, has to think. If he didn’t he would certainly dissolve into a mushy puddle of his most base parts. Not thinking had gotten humanity this far in the world, of course, but also left it full of bitemarks and swollen, pocketed punctures of infection.
[break][break]
T’neri was maybe not expecting the full-frontal assault, but that didn’t mean she was on the back foot. She couched her head and hissed, and for every watery, steel-flinted inch she gave to the penguin, she snapped back by the skin of her teeth. Blade and wing, tooth and flame, water hitting superheated air and hissing into steam, roar and grunt and the clash of cold metal with living flesh.
[break][break]
Ermenesande has always been capable of amazing Porter. Not aerodynamic on land, she is still, somehow, a bulwark of defense, despite being bowling-pin shaped. She refuses to give. T’neri refuses to back down.
[break][break]
His eyes flick up to Freya’s face as she speaks, wondering just how much about dragons applied to their so-called queen.
[break][break]
“I… she doesn’t want to stay, she doesn’t want to leave.” He wants to cover his eyes and think but he doesn’t want to turn his back on the fight. “I have a hard time believing beating her up was what she really wanted but… I guess I’m thinking about it in too-human terms.” He does rub at the back of his neck. “Ugh, don’t listen to me, I’m just thinking out loud.” It has already been ascertained he doesn't know anything about anything.
[break][break]
Ermenesande gets a lucky strike in and opens a deep cut on T’neri’s side. Porter hisses in pain along with the dragon.

"you're proving your worth to her in her language," she says, still watching with continued curiosity as stress pinches porter's brow. ermenesande is as brilliant a knight as any; cold steel meets resistance against t'neri's frustrated flame. neither of them succumb to the exhaustion climbing through their skeletons and freya can sense the salamence's slowly growing frustration.

once its pride breaks, that hardened exterior will shatter and porter's reward will lie in wait. 

"do what you must. if thinking out loud helps, then who am i to say shut it? although, probably not the best strategy if you're going toe to toe with another trainer." or a megalopolan. or a member of the drk triad. 

blood spills scarlet on the ground and goosebumps rise along freya's arms. anticipation curdles in her belly and she tilts her chin sharply to porter. 

"finish it. you have to make the call. it can't come from your empoleon."

You’re proving your worth to her in her language.
[break][break]
Porter’s brow un-creases, slightly. With all his methodical ways of thinking, of breaking everything down to their smallest parts, it can be a daunting task to turn them all in frame of view and find the alternate angles.
[break][break]
“Right. I’ll bite my tongue, when the time comes.”
[break][break]
But he supposes what Freya is saying is correct. T’neri understands force. He feels an oddness in his chest-- something weight, but right, like his heart has been replaced with a Heavy Ball-- as he realizes that, maybe, T’neri’s been waiting for this. Been waiting for him to step up and… prove his worth, as Freya so eloquently put it.
[break][break]
So he steps forward and, to his credit, there’s only a little waver in his voice:
[break][break]
“Finish it, Ermenesande.”

satisfaction smooths away the creases on her face and she thinks, we may make a fighter out of you yet, but is it right? is it right to take every soul and mold them into soldiers for the coming war?

ermenesande reacts with the spirit needed to end the battle. t'neri gives ground for the very first time and brow bleeding, lungs heaving, she looks at her trainer and lowers her head. 

her wings flatten, and her tail lay flat against the earth, but freya smirks when the tip of it twitches. 

"good! she's got a lot of spirit and you're going to have to work hard to keep her in line, but this is a fantastic start."

It’s human of him to look at this display of subservience, however temporary, and to feel awful about it, he supposes. Like he’s stuck in a no-win situation. Either the dragon eats him or he eats the dragon by breaking her spirit.
[break][break]
It makes him feel hopeless.
[break][break]
Ermenesande stands triumphantly over her defeated foe for a brief moment, before stepping back to Porter’s side, not taking her eyes off the overgrown lizard for a moment.
[break][break]
Porter moves up.
[break][break]
“Will you let me patch you up?” he asks the dragon-- his dragon.

two cautious steps forward and freya holds her breath. several more and her shoulders relax, though she follows silently behind him in case things go south. when he shows apprehension, poses a question instead of tending to her wounds directly, she freezes, waiting and watching.

and, thankfully, t'neri seems exhausted enough to let him in. her poised tail falls flat on the ground and she lifts her wings to expose the wounds. 

"good job, ranger. we'll make a tamer of you yet."

At her acquiescence, he holds out her Pokeball, and into it she goes. Porter exhales, long and slow.
