A lake equipped to sustain his Gyarados and assorted species just outside Slateport City limits.[break][break]

Furor is left here routinely, to recover between missions and raids to enjoy a well-deserved respite.[break][break]

Gyarados is more often than not absent from the exhibit, usually at Adrian's side wherever he goes. The other pokemon are generally left behind, however.[break][break]

Race to Resolution - Aftermath

Adrian stands at the edge of a lake, casting a wary glance out to the deepest waters, where a dark mass snakes through the waters undisturbed.

Still upset with me, I see.

It had been a cruel, unusual thing; how quickly he'd deigned to risk Gyarados' life in substitution of his own, without considering their well-being...

He empties a container of medicinal powder he'd acquiesced while visiting Lavaridge Town into the lake, which caused the cerulean ripples to shimmer with a resplendent aquamarine hue. It seems almost unnatural. The waters began to dilute the color, but it spread throughout the lake, and Adrian noticed the dark shimmer drifting further away from the bank. I wonder if it burns like alcohol.

Never had Adrian asked—no, demanded—so much of a pokemon until then... Was it wrong?

The mass began to drift to the bank as Adrian's eyes shifted to the rolling blades of grass. The sea breeze filled his lungs with the faint scent of brine before the sound of something breaking the water's surface garnered his attention; Furor.

A looming, grisly beast whose stature dwarfed that of Adrian's, or any human. Its hide had been mended at the battle, but there were yet the blemishes and scars it bore for its service. Its piercing eyes rested on pools of amber as Adrian tried to understand its mind. Angered, yes, but perhaps for Gyarados, it was a point of pride...

It wasn't Howitzer who'd saved him, or Rover or Icon, pokemon Furor had been second rate to as a Magikarp under Adrian's care. It'd been Furor.

And perhaps, after it took the time to lick its wounds and reconcile with Adrian's panicked decision, it would come to see Adrian in a better light. But for now, it returned to the abyss...

Adrian takes care to treat the burns and abrasions along Furor's scales after the two scraped by the New Year's Raid.

Acting In Good Faith

As he approaches the lake today it's clear the weather has turned moody; the horizon is engulfed in hues of gray and green. He'll need to retreat for shelter soon as it progresses, but for now there's a greater calling. Leering from the edge of the lake for a time, awaiting the emergence of a beast that never comes, he's forced to dwell on the consequences his duplicity had wrought.

A trio of pokeballs flash inbetween his fingers, the three of them cast away and releasing three pokemon into the waters. They are each of them a gift, a ward against Gyarados' worst fears...


Even after releasing them into the waters Furor is unresponsive, avoiding contact with Adrian out of choice. Adrian isn't sure it's been long enough, so he's not given up hope, but he's pessimistic.

Should I just release him...? It was a question he asked himself often lately, pondering over whether it was a lost cause. A Gyarados' temper was legendary; that Adrian hadn't been obliterated yet spoke volumes as to Furor's restraint...

And yet Furor would not confront him since.

He leaves without a word between them, leaving Furor in isolation as the coming storm forces him to refuge. I'll try again... some other time.

Eye Of The Storm

The winds howl and the lake trembles beneath the clamorous storm, and beneath the placid waters of the lake it is seen that even a monster can be made to fear: Furor winces at the flash of lightning as it rakes against the landscape unchecked.

Its worst fear is made manifest when a column of lightning falls down upon its domain, inviting harm on all its denizens. But where the flash should have left them reeling, only confusion follows...

But then it is seen that the pokemon Adrian left behind are responsible as their large horns conduct the lightning, averting the danger altogether.

Furor is able to register the gesture over time, chewing it over while it drifted along the lake bed.

Adrian makes further attempts to appease his unruly Gyarados and regain its trust in light of the New Year's Raid.

Recovery
A Path We Walk Alone

Adrian sat at the water's edge searching its still waters idly while flicking food into the lake for the myriad pokemon he kept there. He made no open attempts at appeasement with Furor today, which was odd as the task had consumed him entirely of late, yet he simply sat there. Despite the clear blue sky and the lush green earth, Adrian seemed absorbed in some droning melancholy...

Loss pervaded the world around him, and he very nearly succumbed to it in the absence of others to surround himself with. Curious, then, that he chose to come here and not seek succor elsewhere.

But the red serpent remains unwieldy in its seclusion, opting to remain apart from Adrian. Perhaps it's for the best. Adrian wouldn't find the pokemon at fault.

Maybe he wants to scream and cry out, to thrash and flail and express; but instead he is still with apathy, having perhaps given up. He rises to leave, making it several yards before an upheaval of water reveals Furor, which levels its gaze upon Adrian before crying out. Slinking away shortly after, Adrian can't help but find it auspicious, for a moment sparing him the torment of his own wretched mind.

Last Resort
Alone Against The Dark

Adrian approaches the lake in relative silence, yet carries himself with an austere presence. Furor doesn't respond immediately, but with time it does surface, and Adrian is quick to arrive at his point:

"I need you... I need your strength."

Adrian wears his fear openly, and it is reflected in his eyes, bringing Furor back to a time where it had been exploited to achieve certain ends. It growls dejectedly, or perhaps in outright refusal, deterred by past trauma.

Yet his worrisome gaze lingers on the beast, and it relents to his command. Slithering onto the bank, it lowers its whiskered mug towards Adrian, a gentle rumbling greeting him alongside the stench of brine and fish. But its eyes burn silently. "I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't important..."

Time is of the essence, so after they make their peace with one another they are able to depart, destiny bound for Mt. Pyre and the demon whom slept upon its summit.

Prior to the climax of Death Stranding.

Death Stranding
Mired in Melancholy

Simply put, Yveltal was useless in his quest. It had promised power and delivered, but it could not restore what had been taken, preoccupying itself with Death and its incessant stream...

Adrian releases Furor back into the waters, and it growls and laments with a toothless mouth held agape. It turns its back on Adrian and stalks further away into the depths before submerging.

Stricken with a despondent streak, he's unable to find the words to console his pokemon or to begin making amends. He could only hope that, in time, Gyarados would forgive him. But why should he?

Adrian leaves, crestfallen and guilt-ridden.

A week after the conclusion of the Mauville Warfront.

Few would know, but the pokemon interred here is Howitzer, beloved of Adrian.[break][break]

Beyond precious to its trainer in life, it is now guarded in death. Those who would deface the monument to the fallen will have hell to pay for it.[break][break]

Moments of Remembrance
Night Terrors & Resolutions


Adrian thinks a lot about that day. Ruminates upon it.

Howitzer staining the ground in its own gore, trying her best to hold on but eventually succumbing to her wounds. Memories flashing behind lidded eyes that send him bolting upright in the middle of the night, a veneer of sweat clinging to his paling complexion. He always visits her after. Even in the dead of night, under a new moon.

On such a midsummer night he finds himself here, back against the rigid stone of a pedestal. Resting at its top is an urn of aurum; Howitzer in everything but the flesh.

She was his only comfort, and now she was gone.

He needed to move on, but he rarely mustered the courage to leave his house most days. Something needed to be shaken up. An exasperated sigh left him. Maybe I'll go to the bar tomorrow... The wind blew over him auspiciously, like a howling through the long night.

Do You Remember
That Night I Held You Under The Stars


Some days were better than others.

Often times he found a reason to shrug off the feelings of melancholy, or found himself diving deep into his vices. Somewhere at the bottom of the bottle was solace. Somewhere at the end of that pipe was comfort. It kept him going, but it drove him deeper into bad habits.

When those began to develop, the feelings of despair become physical. Distressing symptoms of an abusive relationship with such substances drove him further still, until eventually he could only feel sorry for himself. Sorry for anyone around him. And that's where it came full circle... Now at the summit, he considered ending it all.

His phone rings, and the dulcet tones of a tender hearted familiar reach him. They talk him down, consoling him.

Eventually the warm body to whom the voice belongs reaches him there atop the mountain, cozying up against him, driving away the brisk chill of the mountain and instilling a lasting warmth. A sort of flame is kindled.

It might be love. It would be nice to feel that again.

Coming Into View
Remembering The Good Times


Mt. Pyre had been a speck on the horizon that began to look like...well, a mountain. A canvas of stars and the first signs of dawn were the only thing to give it light. Adrian couldn't help but anticipate a reckoning.

He tried to remember the things that gave him strength. Howitzer, bold and strong, standing at his side. She was down there, waiting for him, and there were others in his care that would rally to his defense if needed.

Somewhere down there he'd held onto Rowan, feeling hope through his longest night. It found him even now, spurring him forward with a hint of optimism: He went not alone, but in the company of the well wishes of the others who had touched upon his life, and whose lives he'd touched upon. It had once been his ambition to leave behind more than he took, to be remembered fondly rather than scorned. He felt like he'd made good on that almost.

But he could always do better, given time.

They touch down, and he sucks in a deep breath.

It was getting near to Halloween, and Adrian anxiously awaited the season of TP'ing, knowing it was like to strike at Mt. Pyre. Arrogant, obnoxious teenagers would arrive en masse to tempt the resting souls.

Preparations had been made to secure Howitzer's site, but such lengths went farther than to prevent mild-mannered pranks. So it was that he found a need to return and counsel his pokemon lying in wait of the impending holiday, and how they might be expected to conduct themselves without disrupting the locals.

He didn't need to get a call from the undertake about some unfortunate kids who'd gotten themselves into trouble tampering with the wrong seal at the wrong shrine.

I will flesh this out more another time.

Exhausting All Options
Father Winter's Wager


The air hurts his face, but he'll do it for her.

Their jobs sully his name, but he'll do it for her.

It all grinds him to dust, but he'll do it for her.

Sitting before the urn containing Howitzer, he's contemplating the mystifying response from Father Winter and whether he should respond. Most anything he's tried before has failed to bear fruit, and worse, the consequences only serve to dig a deeper hole for him to lie in. He has to wonder if at some point a line must be drawn:

Do. Not. Cross.

But he'd do it all again, maybe more, to have her back.

He's not sure who he's trying to convince. Howitzer? Himself? God? Who is left to wonder, to care about whether or not Adrian was a true friend to pokemon, or if he was just another trainer exploiting the well-meaning nature of pokemon? Surely there is no room to wonder...

Adrian places a pellet of incense, igniting it before closing his eyes in pensive prayer. Solemnly he rises from his seated position, not wanting these thoughts to linger and yet weigh on him. "...I'll see you soon, girl."

He hopes he can truly mean it this time.

Adrian decides to exhaust all options

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Springtime winds howl over the peak of Mt. Pyre like a ghostly wail cascading through the night, but he is hearken only to the drumming beat of Howitzer's heart as they lie tranquil against the soft grass of the summit.[break][break]

This is what he'd broken boundaries for.[break][break]

Still beneath the heavens, taking in the starlight...[break][break]

Howitzer does not whine so much now that she is acclimated to circumstance, but she is not quite so affectionate either. She does not forget her original trainer, her first Adrian, but neither does she fail to recognize his semblance. She is simply and tragically caught in this loop of guilt and suspicion. He hopes one day she is free.[break][break]

Until that day, this would be enough.

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]The colors of tangerine streak against the clouds in rich hues as the morning sun barely rises over the horizon, bathing them in its glow. Eyes wrinkle shut as they adapt to the sunlight, and Adrian awakes to find himself snug against Howitzer, having weathered the night comfortably even atop the mountain. Winds howl as they race over the bluffs, leaving a chill where it drags against his features, but Howitzer's presence keeps him toasty.[break][break]

Trying to find her eyes and muzzle amidst the mound of fur encapsulating him, he realizes he is the first to stir, her lidded eyes telling the tale of a blissful, restful slumber. Her ears flicks the more he shifts, and her breathing hastens, but she does not immediately wake; for that time he is left alone with his thoughts. Spirits begin to dissipate as night begins to fade from the skies, and the disembodied whinnying of a horse can be heard echoing across the mountain, its cry a deliberate expression of free will.[break][break]

Somewhere on this mountain, or perhaps in it, Adrian is confident the mountain's keeper watches him reproachfully. What he has done surely defies the spirit of his natural order, even if Howitzer herself is not guilty of anything. At this juncture, Yveltal is surely pressed to render a verdict on the circumstances of this Howitzer's arrival.[break][break]

Or perhaps Yveltal simply has the wisdom to know it cannot last. That this Howitzer is also fated for ash and dust.[break][break]

Like the sunset, bleeding out across the sky. Adrian watches it with increasing reflection, but he cannot help himself. The part of him that is human needed this.[break][break]

He can feel Howitzer's moist nose, cold like the morning dew, pressing against his cheek as she stirs awake. Her tongue laps across her muzzle once, and deep eyes of amber match his. "Morning girl," he'd mouth softly.

While they fade from the mountain come dawn, they return ere twilight falls, to find that little missing bit of tranquility they've yet to reignite in the other. Though her doe brown eyes do not show the same wary distrust as before, she is yet accustomed to him.[break][break]

He should not be, and yet he is. Perhaps she notices a similar look in his eyes, everytime he locks eyes with her. Despite the elation in having her back, dark thoughts haunt him as he considers what it will mean, eventually, now that she is returned. A loss inevitable.[break][break]

In the dark he stirs in a restless trap of his own making, imagining that very loss as they struggle to find peace beneath the starsweald at Mt. Pyre's summit. After minutes spent enduring this nightmare, he awakens to find himself coated in a veneer of sweat, resting against the bread of Howitzer's stomach. It offers him reassurance.[break][break]

Moments pass. Stars race past them, finding their own destinies. During it all, a restless leg begins to kick as Howitzer endures a similar episode. Her legs jolt as if running from some imagined evil, before she too eventually stirs from her restless slumber, amber eyes filled with dread until they find Adrian's in a sea of dark.[break][break]

In those placid pools she eventually discovers her calm, brushing her muzzle against him dotingly, lapping at him with her tongue. Neither of them are so blind as to give up the chance they have been given, this miracle he made.
