That Pokémon will eventually fade and pass away is perhaps the hardest truth for a child to accept. How long had it taken her, all those years ago? How long had it been since she'd really come to understand what that meant?

The answer eludes her, and she sighs softly. Her knees ache a little, the silk of her kimono offering only a thin barrier between her skin and the cold tiles, any artistry that might have once graced their pale faces long since worn away by the endless shuffle of people and Pokémon through this place, a neverending funeral procession marching on loop through days and months and years, the faces always changing but the feelings never once straying from the path laid out before them. 

--A bottomless pit, a bottomless despair. When Pokémon fade into the past, humans lose sight of the future.

She couldn't come to this region without doing this, of course. To neglect something as small as this offering wouldn't sit right with her-- a meaningless token to the person she was, to the world that was hers. So small it might simply be forgotten when she closes her eyes, like exhale from the lungs. Still. Even if it's become nothing more than a meaningless gesture, her hands still ache to make the movements all the same.

She lights the last stick of incense and leans back, closing her eyes and inhaling just a little, tasting the gentle fragrance of sandalwood on the tip of her tongue. Eevee stretches comfortably across her thighs, halfway to sleep already-- if she feels the weight of this place upon her like her trainer does, she doesn't show it. Her remaining two Poké Balls are laid out on a small cloth in front of her. Waiting. If she has need of them, she has need of them. She would like something to remember this gesture by, beyond her imperfect memories and the scent still lingering in her sinuses.

She does not speak. She murmurs whatever benedictions she might have to offer in her mind, and waits. That's a kind of peace too, isn't it?

Hm. She supposes she should see about securing a new Pokédex if she's going to take battling seriously again. She isn't familiar with this particular species, but it doesn't take more than a glance at the animated armor stalking towards her that it shares entirely too many qualities with one of the few Pokémon already at her side. Speaking of which...


--She gently picks up the first ball and taps the button with a single delicate finger, unwilling to indulge in the pointless motions of standing and throwing, not when she's sitting vigil. That would just be tasteless, wouldn't it?

"Typhlosion, please use Shadow Ball."

The order is simple and to the point, and the shadowflame-wreathed beast that emerges from the ball in a flash of red light is quick to oblige, its roar echoing throughout the solemn halls as the purplish fire erupting from its mane congeals into a rapidly-expanding orb of pitch-black energy to be hurled in the other Pokémon's direction, sending it running for cover with a single attack. Good. If she's going to be interrupted, it better be by something worth the trouble of battling.

"Return."

Another burst of red, and the dolmen is quiet once more. The waiting recommences.





Skipping Ceruledge.

This will do, she supposes. It's been a long time since she's had to make these considerations, but she does find some degree of satisfaction. If battle is a dance, your team is your troupe. She can only really call herself a subpar performer, but she's always thought she's had an eye for talent. 


"--Alright, then. Dragonair, Thunder Wave."

Her second Pokémon erupts from his ball already crackling with electricity, the wave of energy coruscating across the cephalopod Pokémon's slick form like a great earthquake, sending spasms through the creature's muscles with each attempt to move. Once it's toppled to the floor, twitching at random, she takes a moment to breathe in before standing up, a empty Poké Ball slipping from the sleeve of her kimono into her hand. 

"Thank you for this opportunity. I won't waste you." 


She turns to face the creature and inclines her head a little in respect before tossing out the Ball, her still features bathed in crimson for a moment before the now-filled sphere falls to the ground with a thunk.

Shake. Shake. Her expression does not change.

--She thinks she did miss this. Just a little.
