"yeah, actually. i think of my pokemon as tools—or weapons, because that's what they've always been to me."[break][break]

they exist out of necessity; if he had no need for them, he would not invest the time, effort, and energy into catching them and raising them. he has no need for pets.[break][break]

"my electivire served me well in the war."[break][break]

since his move to hoenn, it hasn't been used much, but at least now it enjoys a peaceful life roaming relatively free. for whatever reason, his pokemon still choose to stay in his orbit.[break][break]

not one of those spikes would have actually punctured deep enough to have mattered. they protrude out of the ground controlled, rapid and seemingly deadly, but there's no denying the volatility of the explosions after. that, he can't control much.[break][break]

the sight of her striding forward soaked in ember has him grinning.[break][break]

"let's fucking go."[break][break]

as gifted as he is, his powers do little in close combat situations. they don't coat his skin like dark crystalline armor. they empower his aggression and in many ways hinders his defense.[break][break]

no spikes erupt this time. instead, he resorts to throwing a hook.[break][break]

"i wouldn't call them ghosts."[break][break]

but there's no point debating about the semantics of it all, not when the ghosts or copies or alters don't mean anything outside of the realm they inhabit. until they can venture back and forth, they'll remain unimportant.[break][break]

when they find her, it feels jarring to be looking at the fledgling ranger. henderson, as he once called her.[break][break]

"it's weird."[break][break]

he thinks.[break][break]

"when mine found me, it tried to kill me on the spot. it was like me, except far more aggressive. maybe this version of you is one extreme as well."[break][break]

which leaves the question: which extreme?[break][break]

things are kept lighthearted thanks to her, though it's not like the mood would've dipped. he has no issues talking about the issues of the world nor its near demise. if anything, there is an odd sense of peace to be found there.[break][break]

"yeah, it'd be just like any other day."[break][break]

his hand squeezes hers, reassuring.[break][break]

"i suspect it was from that flood of primal energy. not sure if others felt it, but i definitely did."[break][break]

it was the very same flood that liberated him from the red shards, though there are days where he thinks it doomed him instead.[break][break]

met with a gloomy overhead, they venture out to the training grounds, soon taking their place at the far end, away from the rest, and away from any prying eyes.[break][break]

her honest truth is received kindly, taken and held with care one would expect from a close friend and definitely not an acquaintance, or whatever it is they are. patient, doctor, stranger, confidante.[break][break]

"i'm sorry for your loss."[break][break]

oddly, he means it.[break][break]

the note is taken, glanced at, and pocketed for safekeeping.[break][break]

"i'll let you know."[break][break]

he stands.[break][break]

he'd grimace if it had been anyone else, if she hadn't tried to take his life months ago, if she hadn't sided with the man who turned his back on his allies and his friends and murdered them cold. time may have mended wounds but they are far from healed.[break][break]

"again," spike, "and again," another spike, "and again."[break][break]

no spike.[break][break]

"when are you going to fight back?"[break][break]

he snaps his fingers, and each spike explodes.[break][break]

"badges mean nothing."[break][break]

accolades and titles have no place in war. before and after, certainly, but not during. all that matters then is survival; strength is relative and fleeting. he has seen even the strongest fall.[break][break]

"you're right, it wasn't a stalemate. it was a loss for us and a win for them. sootopolis is divided and petalburg is lost. won't be long now until they spread like rattatas."[break][break]

he shrugs.[break][break]

"mauville will be the hardest to lose for us."[break][break]

or at least he hopes it will be.[break][break]

while not an amusing sight, the deflating mew is enough to make him laugh.[break][break]

"ah, so it's like an upgraded ditto then. no offense."[break][break]

he doesn't mean mew any ill will considering how much it's helped them out in the past. twice, if his count is accurate, but the number is likely more as he has no idea what the extent of its history is with anna.[break][break]

one of the floating platforms approaches them, pulled into their orbit.[break][break]

"i could never bear the thought of harming you, so this, you'll have to do on your own."[break][break]

all things considered, paralysis is far from the worst condition he's suffered through. it feels miniscule, like a baby durant bite, something he should be able to easily shrug off, but as arguments sound in the background, he can't seem to do anything but stare at the back and forth.[break][break]

his electrode rolls idly by his side, either unaware or uncaring.[break][break]

"it's primal energy," he corrects paxton.[break][break]

fueled by spite, he slowly starts to regain control of his body.[break][break]

"yes, dear."[break][break]

luckily for them, paxton concordas's zap cannon fires at the same time to mask their brief (and confused) public display of affection. he remains unaware that she had meant her alolan raichu.[break][break]

when the bright yellow flash dies down, he peers at what remains of the spot.[break][break]

it feels moderately okay to joke about it now but he knows said joke would ruffle some feathers as well. with a close friend like paxton, he knows it's fine.[break][break]

his head shakes.[break][break]
