BUT IT'S NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR

JCINK OR PROBOARDS? We're currently deliberating upon this potential move to the Jcink platform. Jcink has several tools that allow for automation of staffwork. Of course, it also has the added benefit of more mature content being allowed. Still! Nothing is confirmed. If you have any thoughts or opinions, please let me know!

Ever the showman, Hermes was. It made Josh look forward to standing behind him on his tail all the more. But he couldn't. Not yet. Not until he was at full capacity. Aleph stayed behind; as much as he wanted to brawl, he was at last starting to understand when to hold back. Despite the loud roar from the Raging Bolt, the two of them seemed to be having a lot of fun!

"Perhaps we should bring both our nutjob Pokémon, as you put it, together and see how they mingle," Josh suggested. "That might help." Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were all a bit crazier than he'd like. They all had some level of obedience issues. Tyrfing and Sigmund, too. Maybe it was due to the circumstances upon which they entered Hoenn. Perhaps it was their difficulty controlling their mighty strength and speed. Perhaps it was something else entirely. The only way Josh would find out would be to continue working with them.

Upon Zachary mentioning it, Josh recalled there being such a place in Alola. "Poni Island, right?" he asked, Janus slowly circling around to his friend's other side. "I don't think I would want to go to a place like that until I'm feeling better. How about after the holidays are over?"

As Zachary's pokemon continued to roughouse or relax, Zachary knew Josh was still in the midst of recovering. Even Vacationing may be a stretch for him-- but he liked the idea. He didn't know the name of that one. "I understand. But we should," Zachary explained. "Give ourselves and our pokemon a place to just relax and recover. But please take your time." [break][break] As he looked at Hermes and Broly chase one another, Zachary sighed. "Thanks for agreeing to talk to me. Honestly, the feelings about these dangers-- and war just make me worried. I don't know if I can be the person I need to be-- as either a Gym Leader or as some soldier. But I do too know that I need to be strong and braver than I was. Even though I held through in the end of it all, I want to be stronger-- for my pokemon. So I don't lose them again." Zachary said with a show of resolve in his voice. [break][break] With that, the day began to melt to its end and Zachary began to return to Josh back down to the city-- to recover and turn in for the day...[break][break]

Zachary was right. It would be for the best to wait, given their condition. It remained to be seen how much the war would delay that meeting. Delay how much they could recover.

For war did not wait.

"I will say this," Josh warned Zachary. "If you continue to pursue becoming a Gym Leader, do so knowing that you will be expected to participate in the war in some capacity. That doesn't necessarily mean fighting on the front lines, but you will have a role. My role in the war will be running supply lines. You will need to find yours."

As the afternoon sun sank deeper in the sky, the two had wandered back to Mauville Hills' west entrance, a second-floor staff entrance to his Gym visible straight ahead. "And you can start by applying for the Minor League. If you get accepted, I'll be there to perform an inspection!" With a thumbs-up from the city's Gym Leader, the two parted ways...
