"she did?"[break][break]

whatever lingering feelings of warmth and acceptance fade at the admission breathed into existence. it lures him in too effortlessly; he bites easily. hungrily. but in a way, this is good, because now he'll finally be able to move on.[break][break]

or so he hopes.[break][break]

the voice in the back of his mind is not small. space is breached as he reaches for her hand, wanting to stop her nails from digging any deeper.[break][break]

as molten shrapnel are thrust his way, he realizes he must swallow his pride if he wants to live, which is an incredibly normal act to do for anyone but the volatile.[break][break]

the tree splits and burns and he falls to the ground only to launch himself away, and away, and away. further and further as he has seen time and time again in kanto, only then their roles were reversed. then, he chased. here, he's chased.[break][break]

bleeding, running, fleeing, he finds a pokeball, one he had wanted to save for the bigger battle. it's not groudon, but his charizard.[break][break]

a hurricane spirals backward, ripping through the trees to try and buffet the rocket beast away.[break][break]

"get us the fuck out of here!"[break][break]

"told you i'd be fine."[break][break]

compared to others, matias looks peachy, almost as though he had fought a different battle altogether. the only signs of battle drag across his lips and cheek, though that battle against Shred happened hours prior.[break][break]

"nothing strage, no."[break][break]

he does as he's told. he sits, though doesn't go as far as to put his arm on the table.[break][break]

"i'm not sure what you'll find in mine. you should be taking Eva Morales' and comparing them. i think it's infinity energy that flows through them."[break][break]

but then again, he's no professor.[break][break]

his confusion rises, finding the summit with relative ease. he clicks his tongue, unsure why he's rebutting exactly; out of habit, perhaps.[break][break]

"but you're not even asking."[break][break]

he rubs his temples, conceding with a chuckle.[break][break]

"you're a weird one, ameena."[break][break]

but he can't be too surprised. they are all anomalies, after all.[break][break]

talks of a new elite four pass. Remiel Calcifet's strong rebuttals pass. conversations and topics pass. by the time he zones back in, he's listening to Navy talk of a potential diplomacy with a foreign universe. he had defended sea hoenn once to illeana reyes, having suggested something similar, but he does not bother retelling them again now.[break][break]

"considering we killed their monarch, i doubt they'd be willing to talk."[break][break]

which reminds him of his excursion to land hoenn. his gaze flicks to Melody Miro for a moment as he recounts the explosion and the infusion of ruby and flesh.[break][break]

"land hoenn will not be a problem. what are they going to invade with? their dead groudon?"[break][break]

he conveniently leaves out the regidrago, unaware of its sliced apart existence.[break][break]

"sea hoenn, however," he pauses, looking to Eva Morales and freya morningstar, "complicates things. how will their kyogre react to ours, i wonder."[break][break]

charizard dips down but its descent is dissuaded by stray attacks from zekrom, each fusion bolt potent enough to tear it in two. it may not be able to save matias, but perhaps there is nothing to save him from.[break][break]

what catches the elite four is a large and bulbous dragonite, its tummy rolls rippling in the wind. despite its frame, it quickly rises to join annalise henderson, making it look almost effortless.[break][break]

"be more prepared next time," he calls out, "also have more than one flier on you."[break][break]

"that isn't the issue," he speaks his first words ever to Isaac Merlo, "hoenn's people have always had a way out, more so now than ever with the amnesty program. the issue is choice. every day they continue to serve rocket, every time they hurt, maim, or kill, every time they remain complicit, they make a choice. if they can't choose to do the right thing, then that makes them cowards."[break][break]

he's reminded of a similar conversation he had with Josh Devlin many months ago when his mind wasn't wholly his.[break][break]

his gaze shifts to Melody Miro, circling back to something she had said.[break][break]

"people in this room aren't happy? name them. you were made top champion for a reason. you are kyle lopez's successor. that makes you more than credible."[break][break]

he pauses.[break][break]

"that said, i'm not sure if you have a solid enough grasp over your newfound powers. oh yeah, when did that happen? and why weren't the rest of us informed about it?"[break][break]

Remiel Calcifet's words—even their mere presence—is enough to get him to bark a laugh.[break][break]

"the ex-admin is right. this is war, and we should be the ones who make the next move. enough of being reactive."[break][break]

he echoes the same sentiment he had shared in another aqua meeting years ago.[break][break]

"two more cities, maybe?" he adds to PENELOPE LIVY, agreeing with her even if he doesn't outright say it.[break][break]

despite the bursting of their bubble, he is not quick to react, the fire in him dull and blunted by something akin to domestication but not quite.[break][break]

"she found me at my most vulnerable."[break][break]

the lie he spins needs to be immaculate. any flaws would leave him vulnerable, and he cannot afford that.[break][break]

"i was all alone then, anna, confined to an empty house with no one around me. she knew that and used it to slither into my life."[break][break]
