Purchasing 1x Grepa Berry

Lex can feel his eyes bearing into her, studying the state of her broken body. She freezes like a Deerling in headlights. Not because she is afraid, but because there is nothing to hide. No secrets, no lies. Lex peels her hair back to reveal the striking hand shaped bruise curled around the fair skin of her neck that the assailant left when he tried to choke the life out of her.

Recently they had both been known to get unpredictable and rash when angered. She could see Killian seething now, “No,” she quickly responds when he asks if it was Lulu. Was Gavin to blame? Technically yes, he locked them in a room and told them to fight to the death. Would he have let her die? Killed them both if they refused? Perhaps. Lex didn’t know who to trust anymore besides Killian, “I don’t know his name,” she admitted, letting her eyes find Killian’s for the first time, “But I killed him,” There was obvious conflict in the way her eyes showed regret but her tone reflected bitterness. Like Gavin said, she did what she had to do. But is that what she really believed?

Killian Decker

Lex runs through the order of events in her mind while she stays close to him, letting his scent comfort her and bring some sort of ease. A part of her is still in shock, not quite sure how it all happened and how she survived. New details were revealed to her each time she played a rerun of it through her mind.

“Someone tried to kill me,” and almost succeeded. That was the short of it, and all she could get out before she began coughing violently, wincing at the pain that forces her to take a step back, “Fuck,” she whispers, gingerly touching her neck with her fingertips.

Killian Decker

Her shoulders shrugged lightly as she glanced back down at Endless, “Yeah, I guess I got what I wanted,” she sighed, fighting the urge to pick her up off the ground again. Lex could be a push over for a cute pokemon.

Lex didn’t notice the thickening of the mist until Killian cut himself off mid-sentence. Her brows pinched in curiosity as to what had grabbed his attention. Amber eyes followed his gaze into the mist as two dark figures began to appear, “Spectrier?” she repeated once Killian said their name. Of course, he knew what they were.

“Carrots?” Lex suddenly remembered she had thrown some seeds in the ground here what seemed like forever ago. She didn’t remember what grave she planted them by but it wasn’t impossible that these may be them, “Ok,” she responds with caution, as she took a carrot from Killian.

“Stay here,” she said firmly to the Eevee as they approached the pokemon. Used slowly, deliberate movements in an attempt to not spook the pokemon, “Here ya go,” she said softly, holding out the carrot in the open palm of her hand for the Spectrier to take when comfortable.

It seemed Killian was right, they wanted the carrots. Each one gingerly plucked the treat out of their hands and ate them quickly. Lex was delighted at the sight, completely surprised that they felt comfortable enough to take the carrots right out of their hands. Just a quickly as they appeared, the two disappeared as a thick mist enveloped them, “What?!” she gasped, frantically looking around, “Where’d they go?”

Notes: Killian Decker

To her surprise, he’s there. His voice is a welcome sound. An immediate sense of relief washes over her. She’s safe, loved, protected.

With his help she stands, clinging to him with an unfamiliar desperation to know he is safe and well. Gavin’s threats against his life still echo through her mind. This was all her fault. Again.

He asks questions, ones that would take too many painful words to answer. Instead, she steps closer and buries her face into his chest, reluctant to let him see the extent of the damage. There’s a subtle tremble with each breath, “I’m sorry,” she forces out in an unrecognizable voice.

Killian Decker

As soon as she leaves the hell that is that room, Lex is sure one of Killian Decker’s informants would tell him what they saw, especially if she stepped foot into the Medical Bay. However unlikely it may be, she wants to be the one to tell him, not one of his little spiders. She is fine. Everything is fine.

While walking towards the Medical Bay, she reaches for her phone to text him but doesn’t quite make it that far. She stops, the will to obey Cillian Quinn’s order to get checked out has faded momentarily as a dizziness consumes her. There’s only one person she wants to see. A hand reaches out to steady herself against the metallic wall, eyes squeezed shut. Gardevoir appears by her side when summoned from her pokeball, “Take me home,” even whispering hurt.

A TELEPORT tears her away from the sub and they reappear in the living room of their home in Lavaridge. The sudden jolt and lack of support forces Lex to her knees, “Killian,” a quiet, raspy voice calls out to someone that may not even be there if he is keeping to his new ‘normal’ of rarely being home.

Killian Decker

The back of her hands wipe the stream of tears from her cheeks as the shock subsides and she was left to stew in her bitterness. Her look turns from one of anger to surprise, “What am I supposed to tell him?” she asks genuinely, looking up at Cillian Quinn. She has a hunch Killian Decker would notice her swollen face, raspy voice, and the hand-shaped bruises wrapped around her neck. Everyone will. It’s not like she could hide them like a hickey. His answer didn't quite matter, she'd likely tell him the truth. No lies, no secrets.

A part of her doubts Gavin knows what it’s like to love someone as much as she loves Killian. Of course, she doesn’t know of his relationship with Emma Wolfe, but perhaps he did have an inkling of what it’s like somewhere in a hidden past. Is that what made him this way? Rocket’s abuse of his feelings towards another?

Lex pushes off the floor and slowly stands, gingerly touching her swollen throat with a wince. The offer to train her is tempting. She knows her victory here was based on pure luck, not skill. Her gaze falls cautiously on Gavin, “Fine,” she coughs, “When do we start?”

The echo of footsteps didn’t break Lex’s gaze from the peeling wall paint, even when they stopped outside her cell. It was the voice that finally broke her concentration to look questionably at the nervous man. Amber eyes fixated on the tray he carried, well aware that she had already been offered lunch, but she refused it out of stubbornness.

A peanut allergy? The thief shot off the bed and to her full height as the he stepped back to leave. Lex wasted no time removing the dome lid to find a pokeball hidden beneath it. A sly smile spread across her red lips as she read the note, ”Killian,” she whispered to herself in a sigh of relief. She stuck the folded paper into her cleavage to not leave any evidence behind and grabbed the pokeball.

The hiss of the ICE BEAM drew her attention to Insidious’s shimmering form before he disappeared again. She gave the pokemon a nod of appreciation but had yet to move towards the door. The thief positioned herself so that the camera looking into her cell didn’t see the black shadow as it oozed out of the pokeball she cracked open. Her free hand made the sign for ‘camera’ then ‘crush’.

A dark shadow raced across the floor of her cell before a hand reached out of it to grasp the camera and crush between its long fingers. As soon as the pop of the electronic indicated it was taken care of, the thief grasped the cell’s door forcefully yanked. It didn’t budge. The grunted as she pulled against the lock again. A pale purple PSYCHIC aided her and the frozen lock gave away and she was able to slide the door open.

“Kill the power,” A SHADOW SNEAK kept the Gardevoir hidden as she INFILTRATED the station’s defenses. They wouldn’t have long before the officers watching the security footage caught on that there was a problem with the camera watching her cell.

It only took a few moments for her to find the main fuse box. A powerful PSYCHIC gripped the entire device, ripping it clean off the wall and crushing it before it dropped onto the floor. Sparks danced through the darkness as the lights in the station flickered off. A hum of a back-up generator sprang to life before it too was cut short when the Gardevoir ripped its connection away from the building. Lex sprang into action, following the maze of shadows between floodlights as she frantically searched for the evidence storage room that would have her pokemon hidden inside.

Killian Decker and Raziel Beckett

tl;dr: S!Gardevoir cuts the main power to the station and the back-up generator power so Lex can move freely without being seen by security cameras.

Shut the fuck up, Briarwood Rowan Wrynn was poking a dangerous Beartic. Insubordination, disobedience. It wasn’t long ago Lex was taught what that meant in Rocket. Apparently, someone hadn’t taught Rowan yet either.

Lex still wasn’t in complete control of her emotions, rage being the most prominent. A burning glare flashed over towards Rowan. The fucking balls on this one must be huge. When Cillian Quinn failed to reprimand him, it only stoked the fire. Lex even spared the Underboss a surprised look when all he got was a verbal Control yourself,

“Hold her,” she hissed to THEO BECKETT before turning away from Aoi and towards Rowan. Lex wasn’t even listening to the girl’s words that were meant to egg her on, she was already halfway to Rowan Wrynn. Her invitation was to strike @aoi which she did want to do, but someone needed to put Rowan in his place.

Cillian Quinn created this monster, he shouldn’t expect any different.

“Watch your mouth, Wrynn, or you’ll be the one on your knees,” her fist strikes out with surprising speed towards the left side of Rowan Wrynn’s face. Lex favored the speed over power, just a light warning that she wasn’t going to take his shit.

@consequences

Clever, more clever than she gave him credit for, “It’s cheating when you have an unfair advantage, yes,” Of course, Lex would have done the same exact thing if one of her pokemon had a unique talent such as this, “How am I supposed to know you’re lying?” Raziel Beckett answers her question by expanding the flames and stepping into the circle. It took a few tries but eventually the flames catch on to his lie and flashed when he claims to be Laurence Anderson.

“Hm,” Lex grunts, shifting in the sand to get more comfortable, “I suppose,” she looks hesitant, but it will have to do. It isn’t like she has much say in the matter.

“So, what is your name?” she asks, since they are on the topic anyway.

Raziel Beckett

She could pick out Killian’s voice from anywhere. She heard it before she was caught a glimpse of him speaking to Hijack in the distance, “Ugghh, stop it – just – stay there,” Lex growls in frustration, using both hands to keep the small Eevee on one of her shoulders. Killian and Loveless made it look so easy. The kit mewed in frustration, restless moving and clawing at the fabric of her jacket, looking for a way down, “Ow!” she gasped as claws sunk past the jacket and into her skin, “Fine, down you go, stay close,” defeated, the redhead set the Eevee down on the dark grass, sighing as they approached. The Eevee sprinted ahead, running up to Killian and immediately rubbing against his legs.

“Hello there, handsome,” she grinned, moving close enough to plant a kiss on his cheek, “The little brat was being . . . well, a brat,” she glanced down towards the Eevee who was now hopping around Killian’s feet, standing on two legs, asking to be held. Lex frowned, “Oh so now you want to be held . . . I think she hates me,”

Notes: Killian Decker

He warned her, even threatened her to let up, be done with it, stop pushing. It was a challenge she accepted fully, and her words bombarded the walls he had erected around himself to protect her from some sort of monster her had caged within. Well, Lex didn’t need protection from him. The words hurt to say but the frustration and anger had them spitting freely from her lips like venom.

Eventually, the walls cracked. And that’s all it took to release the monster from its cage.

Lex gasped when his hands gripped her wrists tightly and she was forced back against the hard stone wall of mausoleum. A hint of fear found its way into her gaze along with surprise. They were quickly replaced by burning desire. It was a side of Killian she had never seen. It was wild, violent, authoritative, and in all honesty, quite exciting. She was getting exactly what she wanted.

She didn’t try to fight it, she let it happen. Lex absorbed his rage, breathing it in like she was desperate for oxygen, “Hypocrite!” she snaps back. Of course, he was scared, that’s what Darkrai preyed on. He was lying to himself and Lex if he denied it, “You’ve been running from reality since the moment you woke up, trapping yourself in some dark fantasy Darkrai created. WAKE UP, KILLIAN,” Give me my Killian back.

Although she didn’t answer, she knew exactly why Killian did what he did. She listened anyway, lips pulling tight as he made it sound like selfless torture, “If you don’t want to clean up my mess then let me die” it almost sounded as if she was begging for it, and at this point she was if her issues brought nothing but torment to Killian’s life, “That’s the only way you’re getting rid of me,” Her eyes narrowed, bearing deep into his, hoping he sees the truth in her words, “I’m not going anywhere,” she speaks slowly, deliberately, “The day you lose me will be the day I die. Whether it’s by Kaito’s hands, Rocket’s, or if by some miracle we’re 90 and my body finally gives out. Life’s not worth living without you,” She learned that the hard way, and it’s brought nothing but pain and suffering to them since. She wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

Up ahead the rustle of June sparing with a Wild Sneasel filled the void of the silence once Lex was done speaking. The FURY SWIPE forced the small spider back. The speed boost from her AGILITY kept her on par with the Sneasel. A loud, furious BUG BUZZ rattled the dark-type enough to give the Joltik the advantage. The silent pulse of a THUNDER WAVE stopped the wild pokemon in its tracks. From somewhere a pokeball consumed the pokemon in a flash of light.
