not too long ago, they stood across each other in his elite four chambers battling for sport and glory. there were no stakes then, only duty as they argued over morality and rights and wrongs.

now, he can't seem to tap into the same fire that once fueled him. he can only stand across them now with a tinge of exhaustion as he welcomes them to his ranch.

"devlin."

his eyes briefly fall on RAIKOU with a solemn look before shifting back at the gym leader, choosing to ignore the pokemon.

"hear to give me shit?"

Whether it was at the dinner table, at the Jagged Pass rescuing Rangers, or at Ever Grande's Pokémon League, Josh had always stood in Matias' shadow. Now, sitting in the natural saddle that was Swift's black thundercloud, he was the one to tower above his nemesis.

Only now, there was something different about him. He didn't look controlled at all. In his memory, Matias looked like he was when they had met at Mount Chimney. At the restaurant in Lavaridge. He longed to eat there, but the eruption had destroyed their building. It would be quite some time before the place opened their doors elsewhere in the city, or perhaps in another city altogether.

To Josh, he looked like a person again, not a puppet of the Hoenn's land god.

"No, Matias," Josh answered from Swift's back, not looking to pick a fight with the Elite Four at all. "It's about Kyle. I just find the timing of... Swift here and Kyle's death a bit uncanny." He plucked the RAINBOW FEATHER from his blue Ranger uniform and drew the summoning Sign with it, despite the monochrome Raikou already being present.

With how remote Matias' ranch was, Josh felt comfortable letting his three paradoxes roam the grounds. Clicking open three Cherish Balls, Raikou the Raging Bolt, Entei the Gouging Fire, and Suicune the Walking Wake leaped onto the property from within them, Swift and Raikou purring at one another with almost identical sounds. He also let Aleph the Type: Null out of his Poké Ball to roam the wide-open grounds, getting to know three of Josh's favorite Pokémon better.

his mind may be free of otherworldly influences but there's no denying the immediate frustration he feels at josh's words. to compare 's death to something so inconsequential as the monochrome raikou feels wrong, and to do it so soon is akin to spitting on the top champion's ashes.

but whatever he may feel is controlled this time, flames fanned to embers.

his arcanine watches josh's pokemon fan out across the ranch, though it does not bother joining them.

"how so?"

Aleph seemed content to spar with Entei, the Gouging Fire deflecting CRUSH CLAW after CRUSH CLAW with his BURNING BULWARK. Raikou galloped next to Swift and Josh, the long-necked paradox gently nuzzling his trainer after sliding to a stop with his strong claws. While the Raging Bolt lacked the speed that his Johtonian cousin possessed, he was still very fast. On brand for him, the paradox had traded much of its impressive stamina for the raw speed of a Raikou, the two competitive with one another on the course.

"I just find it a bit too coincidental the Great One passed part of their blessing onto me no less than a week before this happened. It's like Kyle knew the hour of his death." He paused, burying his head in Swift's ashen thundercloud before sitting up properly again. While he was appreciative and ecstatic to have even a shadow of his idol's image at his beck and call, the circumstances surrounding it felt wrong. "What happened to him out there? If you're still under NDA about it, you don't have to answer."

it's amusing how quickly the type: null and gouging fire engage in battle, the repeated CRUSH CLAWS against BURNING BULWARK filters into the background, providing them with much-needed ambiance.

he glances at the RAINBOW FEATHER, wondering.

"i don't think they're related, but sure, maybe it is coincidental."

and as for what happened to the top champion,

"he died."

Raikou craned his long neck toward Josh and affectionately nuzzled him, the Champion briefly cuddling the paradox's face before guiding Swift a few steps away. A purr from the monochrome tiger rattled him, reflecting his trainer's desire to remain calm in the face of Matias' apathy. "I know that. It's been plastered all over the news. I just find it suspicious that, after having that power for years, his Patron passed it onto me less than a week before his passing." He wondered if the ashen Suicune had also been passed down to someone, though he kept those remarks to himself.

"He was one of the toughest men in Hoenn. He wouldn't go down easily. Just... what happened to him up there? Surely it wasn't just the eruption..." he trailed off. Swift maintained a decidedly neutral expression, much like Josh's external feelings toward Matias. He wasn't friendly with the Volatile, but the animosity toward him was not like it was during their Elite Four challenge. Something had changed about Matias, but Josh couldn't quite put his finger on it...

"are you saying ho-oh passed it onto you, naming you its successor in a way, because it knew kyle would die the following week?"

he clicks his tongue but even the "tch," that sounds is far softer, not yet kind but definitely not harsh. it's akin to a teacher scolding their student; the intent is different; it's less about berating josh and more about educating him.

"come on, devlin. try not to make kyle's death about you. it could come off tasteless and selfish, which i know you're not intending to be."

For the first time since talking to Matias in the restaurant that had been destroyed in the eruption of Mount Chimney, the Elite Four felt... like a human being. A human being that understood emotions of others. His tone didn't come off as grating. It came off as genuinely wanting to educate the new Champion.

As it turned out, the education process did not stop at the pinnacle of the League.

"...You're right. That wasn't my intent," Josh replied, calm as he had ever been around the Volatile since then. It was hard to believe that it had been close to two years. Bad blood that had built up since Eris and the beginning of his Elite Four challenge had cooled substantially after hearing not just Matias' words, but they way they were spoken. "It could be coincidence. And I'm grateful to him. It's just how I feel about this whole thing. And I just want some... closure."

Before he could continue, the sparring match between Entei and Aleph got a little too hot for Josh's tastes. "Excuse me." He turned around to see the large scrapes on both Pokémon, the cuts of DRAGON RUSH and CRUSH CLAW slicing a bit deeper than he would have preferred. "Time out. Both of you." Shaking his head, the Type: Null stopped, the more well-behaved Gouging Fire backing away from the impromptu match. Turning back to Matias, Josh breathed a deep sigh.

"You've changed, too. For the better. This is the Matias from when we met up at Lavaridge. The Matias I looked up to. Not the one that battled me at the Pokémon League." He rambled on a bit longer before shaking his head again. "I just want to know what could possibly have taken Kyle's life. He was one of my best friends, and he's had far worse than a simple eruption. That not one person's heard a peep out of Terrakion, Entei, or Ho-oh since then is... worrisome."

to the masses, it must seem like it was the ERUPTION that took the late champion's life, that their death was an act of sacrifice to placate the calamity that would have followed.

if closure is what josh seeks, then closure is what he will get.

"i took kyle's life."

the revelation comes not as confession or admission but as an offering breathed into the same between them.

"his death is on my hands, and mine alone. you could blame the events that led up to it; groudon, rocket, whatever; but in the end, it was my earth spike that found his chest."

The revelation of Kyle's final moments struck Josh like an array of PRECIPICE BLADES through the chest. His muscles began to convulse, sweat dripping from every hair on his body. As a low purr rattled the Beast's rider, tears began to flow from his eyes, as well as those of the ashen Raikou that reflected the young man's emotions.

The Champion slid off his mount, walked toward the electric-type, and cuddled the legendary tiger like a child would their favorite stuffed Pokémon upon learning of the death of their mother. In a way, Kyle was like a parent to Josh, subtly guiding him on the road to improvement. From the day they first met after and offered him to Josh as a clue to locate Raikou, to the day he got to saddle up the very ashen Beast next to him for the very first time, to the day he got to command Kyle's ashen Suicune at Dewford, to the day he was crowned a Champion. And now, the Champions' dinner he wanted to organize with , , , and all the recent Champions would be without the Top Champion himself.

Josh wept. Bitterly.

"...Why?! Just... wasn't he your best friend?" he babbled just coherently enough to be heard. His face was red with mixed emotions: anger, sorrow, perhaps even a hint of despair... yet trust. That Matias was willing to share such information with Josh without a fight was another sign that the Matias he remembered and looked up to was back. A Matias he admired. This was not the first time Matias had trusted Josh with a close secret. That he was Groudon's Avatar.

Josh needed to trust him, too.

"This conversation won't leave your ranch. I swear it. But... what did Kyle do to..." The rest of the sentence came out an incoherent mess.

"…nothing. kyle did nothing to deserve this."

they find themselves on opposing ends of the spectrum. no tears would grace his features, not even a break in his expression; all he can do is to mourn and to accept the harsh reality that he was responsible for kyle's death, and he will be the one responsible for making it mean something.

"do you know i was so harsh on you in the past, devlin? because i saw how desperate you were to chase after raikou when you didn't understand the price you'd have to pay. nobody seems to understand, or maybe they do and they choose to ignore it, that avatarship comes at a great cost. it is a curse more than it is a blessing and yet people still flock to it at the first chance they get."

he clicks his tongue, pointing at the ashen pokemon.

"kyle gifted you raikou for a reason, so save your tears for another day."

So Kyle remained pure to the League. Matias had gone rogue. As he listened to the Volatile's story, his suspicions were all but confirmed. Matias had lost control. Groudon had controlled him, and it took spilling Kyle's blood to wrench himself free. That was the way Josh understood what happened on Mount Chimney.

Would a Patron really order their Avatar to kill their best friend?

"I was so desperate because I felt... like being Raikou's Avatar was the only way to bond with him," Josh explained, listening to the Elite Four's argument of how being a pawn of the gods was a net negative. He held back his tears as he said his piece. "My pursuit of Raikou and my position as a member of SAPPHIRE have taught me much. It really seems to depend on the Patron. I've seen Avatars and Patrons that work together, like Kyle and the Great One. Like and Palkia. and Rayquaza. Ones that truly understand one another and aren't controlling of their Avatars, like Groudon was of you. Like and that snail of hers I can't remember the name of."

The destruction that woman had wrought upon Shalin's home, and western Hoenn in general, was a scar that she would not soon forget. "Entei and Suicune are noble. While I would hazard Raikou would be as well, it's so hard to read his intentions. I'm still trying to learn more about him. What Raikou is looking for." He paused; while it would be incredible to have the powers that Macro Cosmos came up with, particularly the supernatural riding prowess that came with it, having to answer to a potentially haughty thunder god was frightening to think about. "And I think it's turned out better this way. Like I said, my desire for Avatarship was never about joining AQUA or being a superhero. I just... I just love Raikou."

At the same time Josh's tears ceased, Swift's did, as well. The Beast crouched to let the Champion aboard, but he didn't hop back on just yet. "How's Virizion been holding up? It's been some time since I've heard from them."

"i'll agree with kyle and the great one, but not the other two, ha."

and palkia is a recipe for disaster especially when the cracks in her psyche were there long before their pact was made. that can only end one way, and he suspects it'll be with him on one side of the battelfield fighting to protect the people, and her on the other side fighting for whatever palkia wants.

and rayquaza share their similarities to matias and groudon. he might not remember much of the incident atop mount chimney but he remembers the cruelty and unforgivingness of which rayquaza dealt with the situation. it seems to be the opposite of what eva believes in, or at least did at one point in time.

matias returns to answer josh's question.

"it seems virizion found itself another knight in my stead. . i'm sure you're familiar with them. great head of hair."

After an expectant purr, Josh took his place back on Swift's thundercloud, the Raikou standing back up. He tilted his head to look down at Matias and keep up eye contact with the Avatar. "What's wrong with those two? Especially Dr. Morales? She seems to have a really strong grasp with her Patron. Even as early as the end of 2022, she let me fly on them. And even at the full speed of their Dragon Ascent, they both kept me safe. I... about threw up my entire gut, but that's to be expected when dealing with the fastest Pokémon in the world." Of course, he knew little of the possible internal conflict between Peacemaker and Patron, or of their aggression toward Matias.

Josh didn't look as shocked as he should have been; with all the heinous acts Matias had committed, the misinterpreted news that Virizion had abandoned him came as no surprise, given what the Swords of Justice stood for. "I'll have to pay him a visit. I'm sure they'll get along wonderfully."

Before he could say anything else, a gusty crosswind caused Swift's ashen body to deform some, only reconstituting when the wind died down. It wasn't the wind; it was the HYDRO STEAM of Suicune the Walking Wake that created a highly localized microburst, often used to propel the dinosaur dragon to high speeds.

It was how the creature kept up with the Suicune that Josh mistook it for.

"if i were to have let you ride groudon, would that have given you the impression that i had a really strong grasp with groudon?"

again, he does not berate nor chastise, he questions for the sake of educating the gym leader.

"the weather trio of rayquaza, kyogre, and groudon are similar in how they share stakes in this region. they each desire their own goals, and the methods they use are similar even if it may not seem that way."

he sighs.

"but i'm sure eva will be fine. she has me to help her, after all, with my newfound wisdom and clarity."
