There will be a ceremony—one he cannot attend himself—ending upon Ever Grande. He shuts off his phone and slumps against a tree, taking a moment to reminisce about a trainer who was no more...[break][break] I should have done more—I can't believe he's...[break][break] Deliberate acts of obfuscating intel on Derek Hoffman's hideouts were not enough to avert this fate for him. Team Rocket had been heavy-handed in their insurgence, Derek was not the only casualty—but he was the only one that mattered to Adrian.[break][break] Maybe he was a terrible friend, but he couldn't even remember how they'd first met. It was maybe five years ago—it might not have stood out in memory—but they had never failed to answer his calls when he made them. They were one of the good ones.[break][break] He should have put more faith in Derek, back then. His stance on the League had been so shaky—he wasn't certain he could trust anyone—but Derek had never given him a reason to doubt him. And yet he kept him mostly at arm's length— such a waste.[break][break] A capable trainer, sometimes to the point Adrian wondered why he bothered bringing him into situations he could've easily handled alone. Perhaps these were fruitless attempts to garner a friendship—which was a harsh realization, considering how difficult he made it for others to get close, at times.[break][break] Their shared sentiment was part of what kept them in touch, Adrian thought, wiping away this brief sorrow. Neither of them wholly trusted the League... But they both navigated this feeling very differently.[break][break] Adrian had become the League's enemy, while Derek sought to become the change he hoped to see within the League, rising to higher stations.[break][break] But not all contributions were valued. Perhaps sometimes, it is simply too late to change a thing—maybe then it is better to simply replace it. Adrian could not change them, Derek could not change them—so he arrived at his own conclusion, if only after the contrived interference of certain benefactors.[break][break] That did not make Derek wrong. It made him human.[break][break] Eventually, fate would force his hand, and Adrian would oppose Derek. Even then he held back, hoping to spare Derek the worst, but he could not refuse Yveltal. That day, he should have lost his friend...[break][break] And his losses would continue... But by some strange twist of fate, Derek had shown him mercy he didn't deserve—even if only out of pity, or some other misbegotten human impulse. The empathy he'd shown that day was something Adrian had held onto...[break][break] It was all of it wasted, those days were over...[break][break] ...Adrian would never hear from him again. [break] Derek Hoffman was forever dead... [break] ...But the memory of him remained.
