The grave is surrounded in thorns and mist, with only the smallest hint of flowers left behind. What remained consisted of slow decay and rot and death.

The admin that at on a colossal boulder was a weary man, his gaze staring intently at the site of the underboss he had killed during the battle for this backwater city. After a deep exhale, Howard turned from the grave of Elisabeth Fiorelli . It's sudden and quick, as if he expected something to rise from the hallowed ground and attempt to claim his life.

'Hallowed'. Please. This place was cursed.

"Aisling." Even the way he spoke was different, though his inflection was the same. His eye bore into the trainer shackled to Rocket's employ. "You helped us win this place. Here."

The Aerodactyl flash drive flew through the air, before clattering by her foot.

He turned back to the grove masquerading as a tomb.

"Someone is buried here. Someone evil."

In the aftermath of the destruction wrought all over Hoenn, Aisling’s already jaded mind had grown numb to death and graves. It was easy for her to detach herself from those lost, as she never had any strong or personal relationships with anyone. If there was ever an emotion to describe how she felt, it would ‘uncomfortable’.
[break][break]
She didn’t know the underboss in any sort of personal capacity, and thus Elizabeth was simply another statistic. Thus, she stood with her hands in her pockets, a few paces behind Howard at the grave. The last time she’d seen him, he looked like a man of poverty. He still looked poor, although it was poverty of a different nature.
[break][break]
Aisling flinched suddenly when Howard turned. She didn’t bother picking up the flash drive. It seemed so long ago that she was playing around with the little Aerodactyl, attempting to tease Howard with her inefficiency. It seemed strange for such a tiny device to make such a huge difference in securing their victory.
[break][break]
His question surprised her. "Do you think of Rocket as evil?" Was this how he was responding to all Rocket graves? Would he have thought of Aisling herself as evil?

"Yes."

There was no further explanation. He turned back to face the grave as the boulder unfolded. Colossal arms the size telephone poles extended as a giant the size of a building roused itself from an ancient slumber. The pattern flashed with the phrase ⠁⠺⠁⠅⠑⠝.

It was a spell before he spoke again.

"Team Rocket consists of people who were rejected by the world, or by those who decided that it was more important to chase their dreams than to conform to society as a whole. Yet there are people I'd call worse than others."

Regirock toed the cursed tomb, before backing off. It could sense the latent grudges that permeated the foliage.

"The person buried here was someone definitively worse than you." Howard smiled without mirth at her. Aisling, too, had been changed by slaughter. "Unless you also plan to destroy the world?"

Her heart seized as he responded with a simple affirmative. She waited for further explanation but there were none. She took a step back as the thing she previously dismissed as the boulder suddenly unfolded.
[break][break]
Wide eyes stared up at the Regirock who revealed itself, flashing lights meaning nothing to her. Howard didn't even seem fazed. What had happened to him? She hated this. Hated being constantly caught off her guard. Hated not being in her element of suave jadedness. She took a hold of herself, withdrawing a breath, and crossed her arms.
[break][break]
At length, Howard spoke again, placing members of Team Rocket into two categories. Aisling felt as though she fell into neither. She only joined because she had nothing better to do. A loaded statement under the surface. She was not good at anything. Any dreams or goals she'd had in the past had failed. Every step of the way, she was met with resistance. Being a Rocket was simply something she fell into. She was waiting for the day when she would inevitably fail at being a Team Rocket member too.
[break][break]
Howard's smile was unnerving. With the lumbering Regirock behind him, Aisling almost didn't recognise the admin. She suddenly longed to summon Flareon and feel the warm of his fur beneath her fingers. Something familiar in this now alien place.
[break][break]
"I have no plans at all, much less to destroy the world." She stared at him hard, arms still crossed. "I'm not like you. I don't have ambition. I don't have friends. I don't have a purpose." She paused. "It seems that those who do, result in destruction." Her eyes flickered from the grave and back to Howard.
[break][break]
"What do you want?"

There was a momentary pause before he responded.

"I want to kill a god." He said finally, his voice speaking in sync with the stone colossus whose pattern flashed in alien sequence. "And I want to save this world."

The words felt ridiculous as they fell from his lips, yet they were as true and absolute as anything he would ever say. Even if they were uttered casually, with the frivolity of someone going to buy groceries at the market, they would be accomplished some day. Even if the admin died and fell on the battlefield, someone would pick up the battle cry of human triumph.

That could be Aisling, if she found a purpose in life.

Such a lack of direction annoyed him. She claimed to have no ambition, but it had to exist. There had to be a purpose to her being here. If there wasn't, then her struggles meant nothing. She was simply walking down an aimless path.

Aisling had a right to reach for her dream.

"It's a childish want, admittedly. Yet I genuinely believe that it is possible. That we can defeat the enemies that matter and ensure that our offspring live in comfort. We will triumph."

He clenched a fist.

"That is your purpose. If that doesn't fit you, then find one."
