[attr="class","unagiw"]
nagi’s foot sinks into the soft, waterlogged earth by the pond. fingers, damp and half-way to numb, fiddle at the buckle across his chest — unfastening and re-fastening clasp, the rhythmic clk, chk, clk, chk a low bass-and-snare beat beneath the instrumental patter of the rain, and the rising vocal line of conversation.[break][break]

he skirts around it. plods along the periphery of the crowd, an exoplanet in orbit, eyes flicking from face to face, cataloging each to working memory in an absent-minded roll call. they linger on Isaac Merlo for a beat longer than the rest; memory, unbidden, overlays an image over the dense, sepia fog. a snapshot, saturated in contrast: a morning a summer ago, soft sand under the arch of his sole, the sun a honeyed streak on the horizon.[break][break]

there’s something bedraggled and weary about the man now, beneath the sodden weight of the pouring rain. in the set of his shoulders under the rockfall of Tempest Quinn’s arm, the shift of his gaze.[break][break]

nagi wonders. purses his lips, and turns away.[break][break]

and catches sight of a streak of pale blonde and red beyond the water-stained lens of his glasses. the blotch resolves into two figures as he draws nearer — he hears Oliver Shrakes’s voice rise over the ambient din.[break][break]

there’s a child on this expedition? [break][break]

his eyes drop to the small figure. [break][break]

“oh — ” recognition is a slow, warm shock. “the prodigy.”[break][break]

the spitfire with a sygna suit from the border, memory supplies. [break][break]

nagi shrugs, pack riding up on his shoulders with the slow, deliberate motion. he steps in closer to the pair, his voice a quiet, tepid murmur: “i think she’ll be fine.”[break][break]

・recognises (or, does he, really?) Isaac Merlo from their first meeting at a beach last summer ー chooses not to approach[break]
・recognises Eris Halla as the prodigiously competent and terrifying child from the border. approaches her and Oliver Shrakes[break]

like a voice-activated puppet, nagi jerks his hands to his pockets, fumbles for his pokeballs as advised.[break][break]

and nearly drops it when the first wash of radiation almost bowls him over. he grits his teeth, enamel grinding hard against the spike of regret, white noise pulsing through his head. he wants to run — hide — wants to lie against the wall of eternatus’ innards until the flesh swallows him whole. [break][break]

“shit.”[break][break]

he asked for this. [break][break]

more than anything, he wants to be useful. [break][break]

“ender.” he pries his locked jaw open. “magic coat.”

the porygon z’s barrier shimmers into place in front of him and kyle lopez, dissipating almost instantaneously under a poipole swarm’s TOXIC assault.

he nods. stiff and quick — chin to collarbone, shoulders to ears. [break][break]

the EARTH SPIKES rumble against the sole of his heel as he pivots, turning his back to MATIAS SILPH and the encroaching swarm of ultra beasts to face the comparatively-benign crag of glowing crystals. [break][break]

his marshtomp’s ROCK THROWS make quick, messy work of the ones nearby. he scoops the chipped-off chunks into his pack as quickly as he can manage; scrawls a running tally in his head, a mental spreadsheet of sizes, quantities, qualities.[break][break]

even still, his focus is split.[break][break]

his gaze pendulums between the crystals and MATIAS SILPH at his back. but — what else can he do?[break][break]

he shovels at the scattered rocks a little bit faster.[break][break]

[attr="class","unagiw"]okay. nagi’s nose wrinkles as dylan winks at him from across the counter. relief gives way to childish spite. maybe hurt him just a little.[break][break]

steam as thick as fog rises from the polteageist’s spout. laughter tinkles among the crystals hanging from the chandelier. in a moment of camaraderie with the resident ghosts, nagi meets the sight of hot tea dribbling of dylan’s mouth with a wry schadenfreude, expressed entirely through the slow, rising arch of his eyebrow and the upwards quirk of his lip. [break][break]

vengeance successfully exacted (even if by phantom proxy), his eyes shift to the pocket of inky black by the stairs.[break][break]

“sherlock,” he murmurs.[break][break]

his own litwick emerges from its pokeball. with a waxen, stubby hand, it waves at dylan’s litwick from its perch on nagi’s shoulder.[break][break]

twin pairs of wavering ghostlight cast shadows over the wall. with a glance backwards at dylan, a slight incline of his head — a wordless you coming? — nagi drifts, with silent, small steps, towards the stairwell.

the laugh rankles, even if nagi knows he deserves it. [break][break]

yet — part of him watches ollie’s deft fingers knot the rope with a wide-eyed awe; an undisguised appreciation at the simple marvel of seeing an expert at work. [break][break]

that tiny, miniscule part is buried under an avalanche of petty. [break][break]

he hunches inwards, head dropping into his shoulders like a chewtle into its shell, the stray leaf tickling his side where it had come to rest above his waistband. [break][break]

“i could’ve fixed it,” he mumbles. never mind that he had irrefutable evidence that he couldn’t soaking through the side of his shirt.[break][break]

the remark stews. one breath, two — until guilt boils over, and he tacks on, an afterthought of a tail to an ill-tempered donkey: “... thanks.”

boy. fish.[break][break]

one second later: boy. no fish.[break][break]

one hungry bird, with its mouth full, the soft pink of a luvdisc’s tailfin peeking out the corner of its beak.[break][break]

knee-deep in the shallows off the coast of slateport beach, an arm hooked around a psyduck-beaked swim ring, mouth and eyes a matching set of gaping Os, nagi stands agog. aghast. frozen, despite the searing summer sun, into a rictus of disbelief.[break][break]

his luvdisc’s captive tail twitches like a coy peek of grotesque tongue. the cramorant swivels its green eyes towards him, its throat undulating.[break][break]

“oh my god—”[break][break]

that’s an octave he’s never hit before.[break][break]

in an resolute, foolhardy effort to halt his backslide into a doom thought-spiral about what bizarre trajectory of his life led to this moment, with him as the pale, out-of-depth tagalong to the top champion in the unholy, glowing innards of an eldritch pokemon — nagi ponders anatomy. [break][break]

which part of eternatus is this? thinking of it as bowels dulls the awe and horror of the expedition somewhat. goodbye anxiety; hello, spelunking through the lower intestines with the liquid grace of yesterday’s curry dinner. [break][break]

i am a shit. he girdles himself on the litany. shit shit shit.[break][break]

clinging to that fecal rock in the hallucinogenic shitstorm, he keeps pace with kyle lopez . a quiet, tense shadow following two-and-a-half steps behind, bracing at every crackle of noise, every ripple of light glinting out the corner of his lenses, until they reach the core.[break][break]

“i—” he pivots away from shit just in time, tongue catching for a second. “can help.”
