Oliver wasn't entirely happy with the outcome of the latest battles. Mossdeep was successfully defended, Sootopolis a mixed bag, and Petalburg lost. A fairly even exchange. And still no word on a couple of lingering questions about other legendaries or the strange cat like telepathic Pokemon.  Also, the giant Regirock and the three toxic chain Pokemon were a concern. Sure, the Regirock did go back to normal, but it was also in Rocket's hands. Kanto's Rockets being here was not a good sign. They were ruthless. And needed to pour over confirmed reports over who all was here. The red headed punk wasn't sure if there was a plan for a counterattack somewhere. Or if there was another way he could throw some weight around.

Sadly, he was relegated to delivering supplies and such. This was a huge annoyance. Sure, his Dragonite was obnoxiously fast, and they were well used to similar operations, but he couldn't help but feel like his talents were being a little bit wasted. Why wasn't he in Oldale Town to skirmash with Rocket? He knew well that logistics often won wars more often than not, and maybe he will be reassigned to the front when they were ready, or Rocket made another move. Right now, he was resting at a cafe in Mauville, with his best buddy of a dragon next to him, slurping on a treat of his own. He really wanted to start trading notes with people, and find out more about what's going on...

Josh wasn't thrilled with the outcome of his battles, either. Sure, Swift had regained some of his lost powers, but it had come with the steep price of the lives of two of his Pokémon: Aslan at 's hands, and Resheph at 's. Meeting Entei again, something he would have otherwise been happy about, was a consolation prize for the loss of two of his most well-cared Pokémon. They were both Pokémon integral to his rise to Champion Rank.

Even Champions needed time off to reflect.

As Josh and his own Dragonite, Tiamat, swooped toward Mauville's rooftop level, he caught sight of a familiar Ranger and his own Dragonite. Once the Gym Leader had reined his dragon toward , Tiamat briefly hummed her wings to get his attention. The large Pokémon landed on a nearby landing pad meant for those traveling by air, letting Josh dismount. The Dragonite carefully walked alongside Josh, making sure not to inadvertently swing her tail into anyone else eating or drinking there. "Oliver! Long time!" Josh waved, his RAINBOW FEATHER still inert after the horrible battles around Petalburg...

The familiar sound of fast flapping wings of a certain species made Ollie look up to see Josh and his own Dragonite. Taimet? Tiamet? Something like that. The duo was approaching the red headed punk. Giving a wave as he drank his milkshake, Josh exclaimed his name. Setting down his sugary drink, Oliver spoke as his Dragonite waved at the duo goofily. "Yo! It has been a bit. What's been going on with you?" He hadn't seen Josh at Sootopolis, but that didn't mean anything either. The battle took place in such a large area that they easily could have missed each other. Assuming the gym leader was even there. A waitress came by to get the dark haired man's order if he wanted anything, along with his own Dragonite's.

With the master of speed, surely he had heard a lot more about what's going on than Oliver...right? Seemed like the most appropriate person to ask about what's been going on. Zipping around everywhere, surely Josh had some good info to share. And maybe even some insights about a possible counter-attack.

Josh's life had been a whirlwind since the two had met in the desert to handle some unruly rock Pokémon making travel between Mauville and Lavaridge difficult. "Too much," he replied, flinching as the RAINBOW FEATHER's quill poked his skin. He set the dull, multicolored artifact on the edge of the table as he placed his order for three grilled chicken subs: one for himself, and two for Tiamat. The milkshake looked good too, prompting Josh to order a strawberry one.

"Where do I even start?" he asked Oliver, bewildered. "I'm sure you've heard by now that I'm a Hoenn League Champion... and about Kyle... and about... him, too," the Leader's eyes shifted toward the feather whose quill sparked with a mild jolt of electricity. "He was Kyle's last gift to me before he..." Josh trailed off, sniffing as the Emergent's ultimate sacrifice came to the forefront of his mind.

Poor guy sounded exhausted. Considering he was the master of faster, and the sheer physical prowess it takes to handle those speeds day in and day out, Ollie couldn't help but think it was more mental exhaustion than physical. Sitting down and ordering, the poor guy started going into it. Oliver was about to nod about Kyle, but Josh didn't lead with that. Instead he led with being a Champion ranked trainer. Which was something Oliver did not know about. He never kept tabs about that. He did know about Kyle having been shot and killed in action. But he also didn't know the deal with the quill. Apparently a gift from Kyle.

With a heavy sigh, the red head spoke up. "Seems I'm missing some details. I knew about Kyle having been killed in action. But not for everything else. Though I also don't really keep up with the Gym Challenge or anything like that. But I also don't know the deal with your present from him..." Oliver looked at the quill with curiosity. He had other questions. But it also seemed like Josh was only barely keeping it together. Oliver hadn't done much networking...which was probably why he was getting crappy assignments too. Hard to say, and he had more important things to do at the moment...
