children's books [c]

POSTED ON Dec 28, 2023 4:37:22 GMT

was she not in her office?

kyle knocks on the door, waits, and when he gets no response, slowly opens the door. he figured she must have been gone for the holidays or something. he did hear from that aqua meeting that she was in a relationship.

walking up, he drops off what seemed to be fitting gifts for the new year. the league party did give him an idea, somewhat forgetting that she was a dragon girl in the midst of the formality she exudes during the few times he sees her.

his gift comes in a slightly unappealing package, which is just a bunch of paper inside a folder. within was a bunch of indescribable amalgamation of letters that barely form coherent words, and beneath them were translations.

"i love you."

"are you hungry?"

"you're so cute!"

"want to play?"

kyle was unsure if a plain document looked bad for a gift, so he formatted it to be like one of those children's books with cartoon images of dragon-types he ripped off the internet.

he leaves it on her desk, alongside a flash drive that included their pronunciations.

"i already told you why i need you around. do you still need more practical reasons why your death doesn't benefit me at all? he whines.

he pours both of them a cup and places the tea bag in each.

"the increased surveillance is probably because of kyogre or something. i'm not really sure. i'm not really part of the decision making process."

she did mention it once during their first meeting near the entrance of ultra deep sea.

kyle arrives with the mugs. one was designed with matias' face. the other had a ho-oh motif on it, another one of his merch that MATIAS SILPH seems to hoard.

"and just because it's nearing zero doesn't mean it's not in the negatives," kyle clarifies the earlier statement. "you slow down the inevitable. in the end, it's still going to happen, but it gives us time to prepare for it."

he takes his mug (ho-oh) and makes himself comfortable.

"for the league, it's an incoming disaster. for me, it's a personal trauma. he isn't the first groudon avatar we had, you know."

the previous one was also close to kyle.

"he told me you were a friend! huh. anyways, don't worry about that part. i'm not a fan of what he does either way, but it's something i needed."

it really wasn't hard to think that he condones matias' behavior since he still keeps his relationship with him. while he doesn't exactly support any of his activities, it wasn't in his control

"the important thing is matias considers you one. that's a win-win. you get to take whatever you want from him, and i don't have to deal with an unstable groudon avatar since it looks like he found his anchor for now."

given the current circumstances, that's the best solution kyle has right now to keep the status quo. he's already teetering the edge by choosing to be a neutral party in a fight with clear sides. elisabeth, however, remains to be the buffer kyle needs to balance matias' stability and his life outside of him.

kyle dries his hands by shaking them in the air. "if you ask me, it's better for it to be a rocket than someone he works with. you hang out with him. you get me, right? and i guess i'll also take this opportunity to thank you for taking care of him for me."

he looks at matias' cupboards, looking for any sort of tea he can use. from the living room, elisabeth can hear the running water fill an electric kettle.

"coffee or tea?" he asks.

LESSER MEGALOPOLIS: KM #5

POSTED ON Dec 27, 2023 16:00:57 GMT

"what? no! if it's here, then it means it beats up ultra beasts for us too."

his silvally flame charges forward, trampling over debris and litter in its wake. coincidentally, its foot manages to crush a z-crystal that gives it enough energy to grow in size.

despite the tapu bulu's effort to throw the silvally away with a horn leech, the combination of the new power up and the effects of the mysterious fungi it ingested causes it to easily shrug the attack off.

"can you just split us up from it instead? i think i can see the elevator for the next floors from here."

surely, it won't chase after them once they're away from its territory, if it counts the current floor they're at as one.

40 encounter tampered z-crystals that are still active. using these z-crystals by crushing them will allow a chosen pokemon to temporarily assume a state similar to TOTEM POKEMON.

they've been too busy that they've never scheduled dates lately- proper ones that involved dressing up and getting out of the house.

"hey, noah?" kyle asks from his side of the bedroom. "what do you think about this?"

he wears a beanie with poochyena ears knitted on top with the dark-type's iconic yellow eyes sewn near the rim of the headgear.

"cute, right? i got it at the local mall for cheap too."

his hands already has mittens on as well, prioritizing accessories over the actual outfit he was supposed to be wearing for the date. he still was shirtless and shoeless, but at least he already has jeans on.

his wardrobe doesn't have much in terms of winter clothing, given that the region previously didn't have more than one season before, so dressing up for the date was a challenge for kyle, who has to mix and match his usual clothes with clothes for the cold that he only had for work.

"why would i do that? i'm off duty."

he wears casual clothing in the form of a poochyena hoodie and sweatpants that are meant to be comfort wear as opposed to his sygna suit, or any other uniform he usually wears in operations.

"you could give me a reason to do so," he offers, "or you can chill here and wait out the blizzard with me, myself and i."

he goes to the kitchen to wash his hands on the sink, shouting to continue the conversation as he moves from one room of the house to another. turning his back on her poses confidence, as well as a way to give her assurance that he doesn't care.

"besides, matias barely has any friends. taking you in for fun will just make him lose two at the same time."

matias was out.

he was meant to visit him for news about kyogre, but he supposed he picked an inopportune timing. it was compounded by strong snowfall and blizzards outside, causing him to take shelter in the only structure around.

an outage occurs, causing everything to be pitch black. not wanting to stay in the cold, kyle had fixed the necessary changes and connected matias' electricity to a generator at the basement.

once basic maintenance was done, the lighting starts working. the candle he left by the living room finds itself a companion, who kyle assumes had figured matias was home because of the light it gave off, cause who else would leave candlelight unattended.

"oh, hey!" he greets. "fancy seeing you here."

skates [m]

POSTED ON Dec 27, 2023 6:44:02 GMT

it wasn't a secret to matias that he was being observed by the league. kyle's visit serves as an official one, though it was just an excuse to consider what he would have done in his free time as work.

"you know, i haven't seen you in a while," kyle tells virizion, who makes itself know to another member of the swords of justice. "i would have sworn you would have abandoned him by now."

the statement was of jest, but plenty of people would have thought the same behind closed doors.

he starts putting on his skates on the ground in front of the frozen pond by matias' property, head craned up to continue a casual conversation with a legend. "i'm not sure where terrakion is, but you guys should hang out for the holidays. it's-"

virizion's expression changes, and he leaves. kyle turns to see matias approaching.

"how bad does it feel that you can't skate while barefoot?" he teases

rks: navy & kyle

"you're already a hypocrite. what's one more offense to add to that?" he responds with a smile.

to talk about society failing the youth joining dangerous raids despite being unable to stop them himself; to be discussing about the elite four spot after proclaiming distrust with the league; to say self-proclaimed shouldn't be dying despite being the literal same thing he's describing.

kyle calls it out as he sees it.

"i sometimes forget i can do it." kyle takes out a feather and crushes it, turning it into ash. "and don't you dare do the same with the one i gifted you," he tells navy.

even his ninetales stops at the sight of the large ho-oh forming from the ashes and soaring in the sky, looming over the fight. it's brightness and color directly contrasts against the brooding dullness of the battlefield, acting like a guiding star in the fight.

it caws before it breathes sacred fire all over the poisoned lands tainted by eternatus. despite scorching the ground, it was the same kind of flames that can distinguish between friend or foe.

"oi!" he calls out to zamazenta. "don't let me take the spotlight. this is your story."

God of the Depths [M]

had he been a private investigator instead of being employed by the government, hindered by its rules and such, maybe then he'd be special at something. the caveat is that he probably won't be able to do anything if he was self-employed.

the banter makes him reminisce the old times. his gentle smile quickly turns sour when navy spells out the best of his plans.

"wait, what?" he asks in surprise, raising a brow in disbelief. "we're not suicide bombing it! i'm not even sure if i can bring you back if your body disintegrates."

he makes a leap in logic, hoping that at least that's what navy had in mind when he suggested it. part of him wonders if he really just thought it was efficient to jump in straight away.

"we'll either need to localize the corruption, or at least take the source out first, since i can't do it to the entire vessel," he's pretty sure kyogre wasn't like this from the start, and thus, an external factor was present, "or we amplify our firepower."

he looks up to navy, sighing of defeat once he finally spelled out the conditions himself.

"and then we need to..." he cuts himself off and grumbles at the effort of having to think too much. "let's just let the commissioner know and they can think for us."
