One moment is all it takes to make a difference.[break][break]

Bulu could only go so far. The damage was great, to a point where the bull spirit could not go much further. Their eyes droop. The one they carry is heavy, a heavy burden on heart and soul. But the gift they give to her, is strong. She wanted to be strong. So in his eternal laziness, he would do what he could.[break][break]

The most slothful choice was to let her do it herself. That is why he granted it so early.[break][break]

A small bed of flowers on the outskirts of the woods would do. Her body lays there now, likened to that of a corpse, sleeping like she was dead to the world at large and its conflict. Bulu's eyes droop further. The island spirit looking for the Pokeball on her person. Two Pokeballs had shattered. Only four remained there.[break][break]

If anyone neared them, Bulu would respond only defensively. To not even protect the girl, but himself. He may believe in her, but it's up to her now.[break][break]

The Tapu smiles. Finding the Pokeball, tapping on it. How did they do this act again? They extended it... irritatingly simple. He taps the ball again to no avail. Frustration comes over the island spirit. Deciding it best to stay in the shadow, Tapu Bulu attempts to float up into the trees.[break][break]

As he floats up, she sleeps.[break][break]

---[break][break]

In her dream, she finds herself within an eternal flower field, miles and miles of hills covered in the blossoming petals. A distant bell heard on the horizon. Where she's going, where she was, doesn't matter here.[break][break]

It's so peaceful...

Hitoshi Inoue[break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- Bulu carries Genny far enough away from her fight with howard slayte, but leaves her in a bed of flowers for a light amount of healing.[break]
- Tries to get back in the Pokeball, but cannot figure out how to get it to return him. Floats into the trees to rest when it irritates him.[break]
- Genny dreams of an eternal field of flowers. It's so peaceful here...

In these troubled times, peace can only be found in dreams. The waking toil endlessly towards their unseen master’s purposes. Grunts comb the route like ants across a painting of a pastoral landscape. Some of them have Growlithes and Poochyena out, desperate to pick up a scent after a hard-fought battle.[break]
“Huuuh…” Fate would have Inoue Hitoshi find Genevieve Cromwell. It could have been any of his underlings who found the sleeping woman, laying in a bed of flowers like some storybook princess. Whatever grunt found her would have had honors and riches doled upon them.[break]
“Beast Inoue,” calls a Kanto grunt, “there’s no sign of her.” Hitoshi’s Rillaboom beats his drum. His underlings interpret it as a gesture of frustration. None of them notice fresh growth in the field, spreading over Genny and her new patron. Vines mask them from the predators lurking in the woods.[break]
“I don’t like when people tell me they can’t follow orders.” He growls at his underling, hand on his sword. “You fuckers get out there. Find her. If you don’t have her, then don’t bother me.” An audible gulp resounds from one of his grunts. They need sheepishly and return to their patrols. His sternness melts away with a sigh and he looks up to Tapu Bulu.[break]
He’s supposed to capture her. It’s his duty. There is no rational reason he can conjure for helping her. Yumi would not approve. Jayden would not approve. Even still…[break]
“Oi. Bull. I promise on the honor of the Hasegawa name that I ain’t takin’ Genny to Walsh.” With that said, he steps forward, kneeling and moving aside the flowers and the vines. Picking her up, he hustles towards a nearby bunker. It’s cleared. No one will find them there for a while.[break]
“Yare yare daze…”[break]
When she regains consciousness, as inevitably she does, her wounds have been bandaged. They’re crude, clumsy even, but the effort is there. Hitoshi leans against a wall, smoking a cigarette and letting it filter out into a vent.[break]
“You sure made friends with that Tapu quick.” He says like they’re old pals. “What the hell’re you thinkin’, pickin’ fights with Fox when yer still sore from Mossdeep?”

Bulu didn't answer back to Hitoshi. They merely stare at him. They knew. Even if he did intend to capture, she wouldn't be in captivity long. But nonetheless, they snort hot air out of those nostrils. It bothered him little, therefore it was fine.[break][break]

He follows the Black Dog of Rocket, quietly observing at a distance. He's still a Rocket.[break][break]

---[break][break]

When the bell rings again, her eyes begin to open. She pulls herself up slowly, dull pains shooting from various parts of her body. Her chest was covered in cruder bandages again, her face too.[break][break]

Just dull pain. Sore.[break][break]

Waking up felt different. Something was different. But what? She couldn't really piece it together... because there's a Rocket by her side again. For a moment, just like that forgotten memory, she beams to him, waking from sleep fully like a sleeping beauty.[break][break]

"Hitoshi," she says his name sweeter every time they met since their battle. It felt right. But to his worries, she winces. First friends to Bulu, then about picking fights? She rubs the back of her neck, as she stretches. Little to no worry, lethargic in a way. She yawns.[break][break]

She never yawns. Not publicly.[break][break]

"Sorry that I worried you, Inoue," she's honest. No matter how many people told her to back down, she didn't. And she nearly died because of it, three times. One to a monster named Fox.[break][break]

"I had to try to help though." She stretches just a bit more. She felt so limber.

Hitoshi Inoue [break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- Bulu ain't happy about this. But aight, follow the dog time.[break]
- Genny wakes up different. The Avatarship is not known to her yet, but she's lethargic. Her wounds also feel less painful. Healing? Hm.[break]
- Sees Hitoshi, perks up. They keep meeting. She apologizes, and starts stretching. Literally Sleeping Beauty over here.

When she wakes looking like some storybook princess, he feels a pang in his heart. It rouses a memory of a memory of another man’s loves and losses. Something hurts in him, the way the waking mind hurts when a dream’s story finishes before the climax.[break]
He’d kill for a cigarette, but he knows she’d just find the strength to pull it out of his mouth and toss it away. Best to not force her to tear something. Best to let her rest. They’ll be here for a while before the grunts tucker themselves out.[break]
“You damn heroes.” Exasperation is baked into every syllable. Heroes love to march into hell for a heavenly cause. Most of them die far before their time. Genevieve Cromwell sidestepping her grave seems a minor miracle of the cosmos.[break]
“Pickin’ a fight with people way above yer weight class.” Standing up, he trots to where she sits and plops down beside her without thinking. They’re in a bland room. Four concrete walls. Somewhere far away, he hears the dribble of a water leak. Every bunker he’s found harbors some level of disrepair now that their appointed purpose, safeguarding Hoenn’s people from calamity, has passed them by.[break]
“That boyfriend of yers wouldn’t like it if ya up n’ died on him, ya know.”

Heroes? She quietly giggles. She can't help that part of herself, it's ingrained into her very DNA. She left Evergrande, betrayed the notion of rest, of everything that her superiors kept telling her to do, in order to try and keep the Rocket threat contained in Petalburg. That's where her boyfriend's home was. She had the key still, on her person. Not that it mattered.[break][break]

Above her weight class though? As Hitoshi moves to sit next to her, she barely sat two inches below him, and yet she feels at peace. Still so comfy, a certain chemical reacting to him in her brain.[break][break]

"Maybe. But he also knows that I don't like sitting idly by, even if someone is above my weight class," she admits, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her actions weren't truly her own, that much is true. She was busy mentally wrestling some twisted martyr in her head, a vision of a future that looked good enough. A dream that was wrong, catalyzed finally by this 'Fox'. And now, she had Hitoshi here, like before.[break][break]

Be... fore. The idea of waking up, seeing someone caring like Hitoshi was pleasant. And in a way, she wondered...[break][break]

"What about you, Hitoshi? I am the enemy after all." The way she leans forward, wanting to see the way he reacted. Sure, if Izzy found him dead, she knew he'd be sad. But Hitoshi...? In her heart, she already kinda knew. She'd just forgotten. Even if those memories felt so far away, in that chain they never really go away.[break][break]

"You must have been the one to save me, and brought me here. Right?"

Hitoshi Inoue[break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- Lovingly, even, Genevieve acknowledges his worry. She did fight above her weight class, but even Isaac Merlo wouldn't want her to sit idly by. She knows that.[break]
- Wow, crazy that a Rocket broke that dream. She's getting feels right now. Wowee, those memories...[break]
- She wants Hitoshi to admit he cares too. After all, he got her here, she was sure.

He feels adolescent, a boy struggling to say a man’s words. Part of him overflows with concern. When she speaks, he thinks not of forgotten dreams or hopeful futures. He remembers Elinor Anderson, alone and scared in a cell after being interrogated by the God General (though he wore no such title at the time). Genevieve Cromwell is a hero and heroes die when chained by a house of wolves.[break]
As he struggles to voice the thousand thoughts roaring through his head, his face burns. When he was afforded the luxury of simply being a boy, he was a shy child. He kept to himself and his own little world. Some things don’t change.[break]
“Yeah. I found ya. Told my grunts not to bother me here unless they find ya. We’ll wait ‘til they tucker themselves out. I’ll sneak ya back to the League’s lines.”[break]
Closing his eyes, he remembers words spoken by the man to whom he has pledged his sword.[break]
“Rocket’s supposed t’be my family. My aniki said so. If some of those assholes treated you like they did Elly-chan, I’d kill ‘em. Yer not supposed t’kill yer family. Works out better if I just keep ya safe here fer now.”

The danger Hitoshi went through to save her butt, to begin with, was admirable. When his face burns, she can't help but want to tease him like she always did. That familiar, offputting feeling inside her chest only grows. The fact that Hitoshi would go that far for her...[break][break]

Then Elly-chan... who was that? The fact that he showed so much heart for someone else, showed that the Black Dog of Rocket was kind of cute. Even the most ferocious dogs can be puppies at heart.[break][break]

"They won't. I don't want to put you in any more danger than I already have," she sweetly assures, moving to set her head on his shoulder, while his eyes are closed. The smile on her face is content. "You'd fight for me, but I don't want you to kill for me. When I'm better, I'll beat Rocket, I'll beat declan walsh, and win against Fox." It's a declaration. She's not so good with her limits.[break][break]

"And free you too, from these shackles." Her hand rests firmly on his now. She closes her eyes too. "If you'll let me, when that time comes. Some Rockets deserve that choice."

Hitoshi Inoue[break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- Aw. They be cute. Elly-chan stumps her, but Genny thinks Hitoshi going this far is admirable.[break]
- She assures him it won't happen, places her head on his shoulder, and smiles content. She declares she'll beat Rocket.[break]
- And if he'll let her, when that time comes.

Their hands entwine without conscious thought. It feels comfortable. Closeness with another person usually makes him so uncomfortable. When he was a younger man and some of the Hasegawa’s folk took him to a soapland, the most he did was let the people there wash his back. Anything more made him fidget up a storm.[break]
So much of his contact with others is steeped in death or service. It’s different from something like this, sweet unconditional kindness. The simple act of holding his hand almost makes this hardened killer cry.[break]
“They ain’t shackles.” There’s sadness in his admission. “I ain’t no good at nothin’, Genny. Nothin’…”[break]
Even now, errant thoughts of how to end lives play across his mind. A simple twist of a knife across the right veins, a clean stab through the liver, a wide cut that takes both kidneys, a forceful thrust that punctures the lungs and takes the heart in the process, on and on and on. Death is his craft, and the more he comes to understand life, the less joy he takes in his craft. He remembers the way Yumi Hasegawa looked at him, the first time he took a life in her name…[break]
“…’cept killin’. There ain’t no place fer me in the League’s world.” His hand squeezes hers tighter, as if her soft hand could change his very nature.

His confession is sad. So much so, that it clouds her sunny smile. She doesn't pull away, and she merely leans into him, just an inch more. Hitoshi says he's only good at killing? Well, it's understandable. But...[break][break]

"I don't think that's true," she smiles, knowing something he doesn't. "You've saved me twice now." Once, when they fought and he pulled her through the ringer to win. Once now, when she laid in that bed of flowers, and any Rocket could come after her. They would take the kill, take Bulu like Fox wanted. They could have won that kill. Hitoshi could have won that kill.[break][break]

And yet, they didn't. Hitoshi didn't.[break][break]

"Every person is capable of so much in this life. We only have one. Why limit yourself to something like that, Inoue?" she holds his hand tighter, pulling it close to her chest. To try and soothe Hitoshi.[break][break]

"What's one thing you've always wanted to do? Anything!"

Hitoshi Inoue [break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- He's good at saving her life. He's good at helping people. She doesn't think he's only good at killing.[break]
- She doesn't think limiting himself to something like killing is all he can do. She asks what's one thing he's always wanted to do.[break]
- Hand holding, uwu. She's trying. Fully open heart here.

“One thing I’ve always wanted, huh?” Closing his eyes, he thinks that over. His hand doesn’t move, simply sitting there, comforted by this girl who was fighting for her life hours before. It should be him comforting her, a matter which plagues him with guilt.[break]
What does he truly want? All the basic whims a creature could ask for are afforded him. Any kind of tasty food he would like to try is available to him. There’s no shortage of fun things for him to do, places to go, or things to swing his sword at. More and more, these simple doglike joys turn to ash against his soul.[break]
What does he want? Prodding deeper, he sees himself, surrounded by the people he loves. There’s no war. No reason to fight. Swordplay turns into a beautiful lie, an elegant craft in an age of peace. Yumi is there, and Jayden, and the Quinns, and others. Genny is there, he realizes, though she’s closer to him than even Jayden or Yumi, almost like…[break]
“A family. A real one. One that sticks together no matter what.”

A family... it seemed so simple. A simple desire, to have a family that sticks together no matter what. It seemed odd to think, not half a year ago, how Hitoshi was not so much as the Black Dog of Rocket. But every dog wanted a family they belonged to. They deserved a home and a family.[break][break]

Her grip tightens. Rocket wasn't filled with monsters. They're filled with people, real people. Some were so twisted, they would drown. She leans into his shoulder again. Hitoshi isn't one she wants to see drown.[break][break]

'You said you wanted a family.' Just like before, a memory of a long time ago, enters the mind just a moment. A gloved feminine hand grabs towards the older man's, and pulls his hand to her chest. The smile she gives, her eyes quietly studying the dojo master.[break][break]

Genny's cheeks heat up. The memory fades away from her mind, but she doesn't stop smiling.[break][break]

"A real family, huh?" It's obvious that there's a missing puzzle piece. For both of them, likely the same piece. Whatever this thing was between them, it was that. "You've wanted that for awhile though, huh?"

Hitoshi Inoue[break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- He just wants a family? Another memory from a long time ago, in the distant past. A hand brings the older version's to her chest.[break]
- She asks if he's wanted that for awhile, her cheeks hot, and his hand held tighter.

There are things a man can only have in his dreams.[break]
He hears the echo of an older, sadder man. It would take a special person indeed to earn that man’s trust, much less make him admit something like that. What follows that echo of memory is a memory of warmth and soft lips. [break]
“Fer as long as I can remember.” Words he leaves hanging in the air. More and more it feels like he’s holding the world in his arms. “My mama abandoned me.” It’s the first time he’s said that out loud. Not even Yumi has heard the admission, pieced together by a simulated vision. “Cause I was too much trouble. I was out fer myself ever since then. Me n’ these killin hands. First person I ever killed was another kid my age, fightin over some food in a dumpster behind a grocery store.” There had been no joy in the kill, just as there is no joy in his voice when he speaks of that long-ago death.[break]
“It’d…it’d be nice just to be normal. Brothers, sisters, a girlfriend. Normal job, barbecues, all that crap.” A hollow laugh follows the words. “Usually people ain’t so interested in my life, y’know. What ‘bout you? What’s yer dream? World peace?”

Fate is often more cruel than not. In one hand, a girl who grew up with a dream to be a Ranger sits here now, seeing on the other hand: a boy who grew up to suffer, knowing little else but pain. Their worlds were far, far apart. But all it takes is a few bad days, for a good person to falter and learn the long lessons. Killing was a sin he had since he was a kid, when he simply wanted to survive.[break][break]

She tightens her grip. It's almost childish. Not every Rocket would come this far, to even entertain this notion. His wish was something so many people got in this world, taken for granted. A family.[break][break]

'Dream.' There were things a man can only have in their dreams, after all. She felt her eye break a tear, but she's not crying. She dabs towards her eyes. What was she tearing up for? She wipes it away. Why did she want to cry for him so much? "I'm far from usual," and she sits there with it, the smile with the sunrise, where the sun just golden enough to glow, and she glowed at him. Even underground, she simply wore that radiance herself.[break][break]

Her dream though? She knew that martyr still stood in her head tall, but with that Rocket, Fox shattering that dream, she knew it had a happier ending. "I did once. But not anymore. I dream for tomorrow."[break][break]

She finally gets up, walking with a newfound vigor as she puts her back to him, for just a moment, as she speaks. "I dream that the sun will rise for another beautiful day. That people like you can live for that dream, instead of let that dream feel like a life far away from ours." she turns around on her heel, to face him. She walks closer, bending down now to see him closer, face-to-face.[break][break]

"That's why I will become the Top Champion. So that you can look forward to tomorrow again," she declares, the twinkle of her eyes lovingly looking forward, at Hitoshi. In that moment, he felt all the more real. "So that we both can. And who knows? Maybe you'll find that girl tomorrow too. You're more than handsome enough." She cannot deny that much. Even if she wished it was her.

Hitoshi Inoue [break][break]

NOTES

- OUTFIT, MISSION MUSIC: Close the Distance[break]
- His dream is so genuine and small, that Genny realizes how important even those are. How this so-achievable thing, should be a norm.[break]
- She explains her dream, for tomorrow to exist. She will be the champ, so that people like him, Rockets thrown into this life, can look forward to it.

He watches her with the fascination of one watching the sun. She glows, even in a place like this. Her smile lights the room, her words filling it with warmth. They make him recognize that he treads dangerous ground, that he risks treason by saving her…[break]
…and he finds that he doesn’t care. His place will always be with Rocket. jayden cross and Cillian Quinn matter to him far too much. They’re his family, his aniki, his big brothers. The grunts beneath him, each one Genny’s enemy, are his little brothers. It’s his duty to watch out for them, even the unruly ones.[break]
Yet, Genny, too, seems important to him. As she calls him handsome, a first for him, he tries to look confident instead of averting his eyes in boyish embarrassment. He finds himself standing up, looking down at this woman who would become top champion and take all of the League’s many burdens into herself. Inoue Hitoshi remembers Father Winter’s smile and the ordained fate of all avatars.[break]
“I’m picky.” He moves closer.[break]
“She’d have t’be a real special girl.” He sees her eyes, radiant as the sun.[break]
“Like top champion special.” He forgets to feel afraid, or worried, or anxious, and leans in.
