Honoré plops down in the meadow alongside Route 117. "Cinder," she pants, "let's take a break here. I'm so tired, and I think the rubber on my shoes is starting to melt!"

She takes a draught of water from her bottle and offers some to her Ninetales, who laps at the refreshing liquid. Honore wipes her pink baby bangs, wet with her sweat, off her forehead as she catches her breath. Her attention is snagged by the pretty white clover flowers that carpet the grass around her, and she plucks a few.

"Hey Cinder, sit here and I'll get your mane off your neck; it'll help you cool down." The fox pokemon obliges, and Honore plaits her cream fur into petite braids, pulling tufts of fur into neat rows and leaving gaps to expose the shorter fur underneath. She incorporates the flowers as she works, smiling to herself.

For the first time since coming to Hoenn, Josh was truly depressed. Everything was going his way, climbing the ranks all the way to the top of the battle circult. He was on the very short list of Hoenn's Champions, having conquered one of the toughest Pokémon Leagues in the world. He had the companionship of the Pokémon of his dreams: the fastest Pokémon on land. The unparalleled velocity of the Johtonian god of speed, at his beck and call. And he couldn't indulge himself in the way his younger self dreamed. Why?

Because some toxic-chained ogre delayed that opportunity, if not outright took it from him.

As he and his Beast veered off the road and into the vast meadow, a Galarian Rapidash ferrying him across the grassland at a mild speed, Josh's eyes veered toward the black thundercloud billowing atop Swift's back. Seeing it only magnified his frustrations. Echoing those frustrations, the ashen Raikou sounded a thunderous purr that would almost certainly get 's attention...

Honore jumps at the sudden thunderous purring, accidentally yanking Cinder's fur. Her Ninetales yelps.

"S-sorry, Cinder!" she yelps back, throwing her arms around her pokemon. Cinder huffs in response, but nuzzles her owner's pink hair. The trainer lifts her face from her Ninetales' fur, remembering the sudden and unusual sound. "Huh, I wonder what-"

She turns and sees approaching, riding his Galadian Rapidash. A Raikou follows.

The young adult blinks her eyes, unable to register what she is seeing. In a sudden emotional eruption, she waves her arms over her head and shouts, "JOSH! OH WOW JOSH, YOU HAVE A RAIKOU!!!!"

's screeching did not go unnoticed over the wind. The Gym Leader tugged on Dashie's reins, the Rapidash rearing and turning around to face the familiar face he couldn't put a name on.

"I do," Josh answered, calmly and with a glum tone. Too down for someone being praised for possessing the Johto Beast. "Your face looks familiar, but I've forgotten your name - I'm sorry." If remembered Josh's normally cheerful expression, it was all but gone today.

Honoré's eyes widen as she gazes at Josh's pokemon. Cinder sniffs at the Rapidash, seeking to acquaint.

The young trainer blinks as she considers Josh, atop his Galarian steed. She smiles. "I do suppose it's been awhile," she chimes. "I'm - we met at your gym, remember? At first I didn't know you were the gym leader, and I had so so so many questions. And then you showed me around a bit, and I remember a picture of you on a Raikou, but it wasn't your own. Oh! And your Manectric was there! And I saw this HUMONGOUS Espeon, and you explained why it was so big and--" 

She tosses her head back and laughs. "Well, our meeting was a lot like this! Oh I'm just so happy you were able to get your own Raikou, Josh! It was a dream of yours, wasn't it?"

A Shuckle appears from the flowers nearby, and Honoré calls on Cinder. "Use Extrasensory!" As Cinder makes her move, Honoré throws a pokeball at the Bug/Rock-type.

Turning back to Josh, she registers his expression. The excited anticipation she holds in her shoulders sinks. "Heyyy, why so glum?" she asks. "If it's because of this hot weather, then I don't blame you one bit!"

Josh was a bit flush. He had met so many challengers that he couldn't possibly remember all of them. "It's great to meet you again, Honoré - I'm so sorry I don't remember you as well as you remember me. That picture of me on the Raikou has circulated all over the Internet by now." Josh clicked open a third Poké Ball containing a Type: Null, the Gym Leader content to let the moody normal-type roam around and chase away a Houndoom getting a bit too close.

His memories were coming back to him slowly; there were only so many girls that bombarded Josh with questions without giving him a chance to answer them. "It was... but the reality isn't as dreamy as I would like it to be. Swift is... the same Raikou I rode in that picture." The more he talked about it, the more down he seemed to get. He was still taking the Top Champion's loss hard.

"You saw the news a couple months ago, right? That Top Champion was killed in action?"

Honoré smiles, her face sweet and serene despite its floridness from the heat. Twirling her hair into a bun, she muses, "Oh, that's alright." She pauses for a moment, savoring the feeling of her hair being off the back of her neck. "Famous people can't remember everyone they meet, I bet." 

She draws a hair pin from her dress pocket, working on her hair while listening to Josh. Cinder growls at a curious pair of bug pokemon; the lingering psychic energy of her last move coupled with her warning sends them skittering away.

The direction of the conversation turns dour. Honoré secures her pink locks and then is silent for a moment. Her hands fall to her lap. "Yes," she replies quietly.  "It's terrible."

Honoré had overheard it on the news when she had stopped at a restaurant to have lunch with Cinder. She didn't know the exact details, but she didn't really want to know, either. It was obvious to her that Josh was deeply troubled by it - why else would he have brought it up?

She leans over and picks up the Shuckle's pokeball. 

"Were you friends?" she ventures.

"We were more than friends," Josh answered, Swift's facial expression and general demeanor mirroring his trainer's own. "He was my mentor. He helped me become the Gym Leader I am now. I owe much of my success to him. And most importantly, this Raikou used to be his. It was as if he passed the Beast on to me knowing the hour of his death."

Had he known that the cost of joining forces with his childhood idol would be Kyle's life, he would have turned down the opportunity. That was in the past now, and he had to live without Kyle... at least for the time being. Something within him made him feel that Kyle was not truly dead... that the Great One was just waiting for the right time for him to return.

"So what's new with you, Honoré?" Josh asked, trying to shift the subject to something less glum as Ixion whinnied when a wild Durant got a little too close for comfort. Aleph was quick to chase the steel-type away with a TRI-ATTACK.

.:sunshine on a cloudy day:.
She considers Josh, and her heart floods with emotion.

Honoré holds her palm out to the Raikou. Her face creases in sympathy, tears welling in her eyes for both Josh and Swift. The Raikou must feel as pained as Josh to lose its original trainer, she imagines. "I'm so sorry, both of you."

Honoré looks at Cinder, her most cherished friend. Ninetales were pokemon with a longevity that outlasted humans; one day, Cinder will be without her. The thought pains her, and she shakes her head as if to dislodge it. She drags a hand across her eyes, dispelling the tears.

When the conversation shifts, Honore perks up.

"Oh, a bit of this and a bit of that," she replies, waving her hand. "Cinder and I have been traveling around Hoenn, not really doing much of anything, but learning a lot!"

She tips her head. "I've heard a lot of talk about Rocket, and it worries me," she admits. "I'm not a strong trainer..."

Her eyes dart nervously to an approaching Lokix, but it disappears back into the tall grass. She sighs, relieved that the humanoid pokemon retreated.

The emotionless Raikou did not react at all to Honoré's words. "I haven't done as much as I want to, either," Josh admitted. "Been going through rehab for my left arm after it got smashed at the end of April. I've had to relearn how to ride Pokémon from the ground up. It's been very frustrating having to limit appointments for my Gym as a result." The Racing Grounds' popularity caused him to be busy during the reduced hours his Gym was open, both for his own health and for the challengers' safety due to the region's hot summers.

"If you have interest in becoming a stronger trainer, I can help you," Josh offered, remembering when he was in need of the same before he became a Gym Leader. "What is it you need help with in that regard?" As he awaited an answer, his Type: Null continued to spar with wild Pokémon, a Murkrow flying away after Aleph narrowly missed with a TRI ATTACK.
