Shades, Drip, MISSION, Quiet Route Chosen EXPANDED MAP, credits to Tom Cartos!

Good points all around. This made it harder to think one way or the other. On the one hand, this could be the convenient story that the ghosts want to tell, to weave them down the path to their own deaths. On the other hand, perhaps this was a message. A warning. Or maybe...

Isaac raises a better point. Finding a map, or a study would give them some insight, but looking this up would be better for both. Ashley smirks. "Good thinking. If we can piece it together early, we might be able to beat this yet." Smushing closer towards Isaac, he looks over the phone as Isaac looks up Maria Truesdale.

The report reads as follows:
Maria Truesdale, 82, found dead February 2nd, 1982. Multiple stab wounds and bodily mutilation led to blood loss as cause of death, a signature of the serial killer The Butcher. The mother to one Elvira Truesdale, she is left an orphan now with no father, and now the successor of the Truesdale estate at the age of eight.

Ashley's mouth was open, and closes as he thinks.

"Sweet Arceus... maybe the key here was less Maria Truesdale, and more the killer? So many years, stands to reason the Butcher might be-" All of the candles go out immediately within the room, and Ashley feels a spine-chilling shiver, as he gives an almost nervous look.

There's a howling from outside of the room. Something else is in the mansion now, as Ashley cracks his knuckles.

"Alright... we going? Or we waiting?"

Electricity cracks as the blast hits, though the Heracross takes most of the attack. Pulse in return is struck by the Counter, but the strike goes clean through the Rotom, Pulse unaffected as they look towards Ashley.

Your fault.

"I SAID DIE!" Ashley is beyond consoling, and as another ELECTRO BALL comes towards Ashley, his pupils shrink as he lets Pulse fire again. He doesn't want to think. All he wants is to make the League suffer for what they've done today. For every mistake they've made.

Every emotional wound opens up at once, bloodlust burning. Venom on his tongue, he spits out the facts. Where was the justice in that? Ashley had some things to work out.

Now isn't the time to let feelings out. As he hears a new voice, he gets himself up, shakily onto his feet. Ashley is... uncertain how things are to proceed, but he looks at the man with puffy eyes. It's all he should be able to see behind a face mask and a hat.

Fury fuels him. He doesn't bother giving the man before him a proper answer. Bloodshot eyes of silver are glaring. It's all he can do to hold it in. He doesn't know this man, but he asks if he's Rocket. Which means...

He's the enemy. He's the reason Bullet and Pluto are gone. Why Kiryu is gone. He locks his emotions away, choking back his tears, and points at him.

He loved her. And you killed her.

"DIE!" Ashley roars with contempt. A click of his tongue and Pulse channels an ELECTRO BALL, firing straight for Ollie as the ball hits the ground and attempts to strike him. Ashley's face matted in nothing but his own fury. Bongo watches his trainer... this wans't him. This isn't Ashley. He could feel the swelling pain surround him, something behind him to conjure all of his rage and pain, to channel it. He had intent to kill.

Penelope Livy and Landon Cassidy. Okay, those were the names. That gave him some level of thought to go on, but Penny's little ultimatum had Ashley not in any fucking mood. "How stupid do you think I am? Moment I pull this blade from your neck, your associate shoots me dead. Or that Alakazam there." He snarls at Penelope, anger laced behind each word. He isn't thinking straight. But he takes a breath.

His ears pick up the sound of something from behind, and as Ashley almost yelps, the save is made by both Bongo and Pulse, Bongo stepping between and slapping the octopus like a hot potato with a WOOD HAMMER to discombobulate them, while Pulse stood at the ready against the Alakazam. This was getting precarious.

Your fault.

Ashley considers his options.

"Penelope, right?" He starts, still holding fast his arm around her. Poison and venom is in every word. "Your sniper is a really good shot. I'm not dead, so something must be going on up there. That's probably why there's a Pokemon down here who just tried to get me in my blind spot. Right now, I have leverage. I'm going to let you go, but before I do, that Alakazam goes back in its ball. NOW. You will run for the hills. After the shit your sniper has done, I think that's civil enough compared to a slit throat, left to bleed out like a League pig. Don't you? Course we can both die."

Unhinged, he whispers. "Between you and me though, I'm not afraid to die. I have nothing to lose. But you? You stand to lose everything."

It's all he can do to hold himself steady with a lie spat out like venom. Was Isaac okay? He doesn't know. All he can do is hope that's why he isn't dead right now.

Your fault.

"Sniper. Or should I say Landon Cassidy-" he believes the lie, but he tightens his grip, the knife with enough pressure to keep Penny from doing something stupid. He still has leverage "-retreat. Or Penelope dies. Your choice, but I think you're out of options. So RUN."

It's a bluff. But as far as he's concerned, he has the power to make that call. Because if he leaves AND Penny returns the Alakazam? Ashley will let Penny go. All of this was because he was out of position and made stupid choices. The least he can do is force a victory now before it gets worse.

You let her die. You killed her.

"What's it gonna be, Penelope Livy?" He says her name without a single shred of affection, the blade readying itself. She had hands. She better get to using them.

Shades, Drip, Apron, Big Apartment!

Man. He hadn't made a pillow fort since he was a preteen. This... might actually be fun. Inner child was screaming giddily.

"Hey, I'm twenty-four years an orphan. Doesn't bother me anymore." He smiles to Kep, making sure that he doesn't feel like it makes Ashley less of a person. In fact, it was a necessary thing to come out, and he doesn't blame Kep for not knowing. Why would he?

"Mew-Man?" He is grinning, looking at Isaac with a rather hefty brow raise, arms crossed as he turns his head towards the blonde. "That sounds like some kind of creepy online fiction I'd read."

He didn't read a lot, but he did read.

Isaac's story has Ashley focused. At first, he stares and nods, but each passing moment, he's raising his brow... and he scoffs. "That sounds so fun though. A cryptid? Who can honestly say they've met a cryptid that eats their own Pokemon, with said Pokemon living to tell the tale?" Ashley is actually incredibly jealous, and he makes it known, as he gets comfy. He's totally jealous of the duo.

His attention splits between them.

"Idunno, finding odd jobs doesn't quite have a fun ring to it, you know?" He sighs, throwing his head back into the cushioning "Hell, I get stir crazy. It's not exciting just trying to make that money. I guess I just crave more."

He listens for the kitchen, and smiles.

"Cooking for you two does make things a little more exciting though." he chimes, trying to combat that envy he's feeling, despite how green with it he must have seemed.

Mostly everyone is present.

Shades, Hat, MISSION

Jelly made a direct hit, having Ashley throw his hands up in the air, as Shalin came in with a strike all her own atop her Yanmega Flit. And as the painful sounding shout from the wingbeat, Ashley would watch on, as the Tsareena slapped them back. He yells out.

"SHIT. Shalin, you okay?!" But his attention is split, as Jelly would be subject to the powerful strikes of the Tsareena for a moment. The Bide had not worked, the Hammer Arms had, as the Tsareena slaps Jelly clean out of the way and into the wall with a PLAY ROUGH.

With Queen Zing tagging back in, Ashley races towards Jelly. Out cold, but breathing. As he returns the Stufful, the Beedrill dowses in the Mega power, as he smirks.

Time to add assistance. Only one more on the field. With a point forward, he calls out. "Bongo! Draw its fire, take them where you want to take them!" With a TAUNT, Bongo begins beating his chest, smacking it over and over as he calls out with his monkey noises, intent to bring the aggro to himself.

To give Shalin an opening.

"Take it out, Shalin! You got this!"

The little scuffle really just cost Ashley one of his Pokemon, and Reinhardt was no slouch. He was definitely one of the stronger ones on Ashley's team, so as Maple bites and tries to tear, it realizes the bulkening of the Dodrio, as the Eelektross is returned for the steel bird Corviknight.

Ashley clicks his tongue. He doesn't have an answer to fight that.

So, there's one way to take this fight on, and Ashley realizes he has to fight dirty. If the Dodrio is currently bulking up, he considers his options quietly. A turn of his head, as he thinks tactically.

... he smiles as he remembers what Sushi did plenty when he was alive.

"Maple. Give our new friend a big yawn."

The Eevee releases Dodrio, rolling away from the tri-headed bird, before looking right at the Corviknight, and opening her mouth wide for a YAWN. If it worked, that would make the Corviknight tired, prone to fall asleep. It left Maple open, but it opened Isaac for a strike.

The plan now, was survival, and set-up. If he could do that, he could impress Gavin, because his ace was yet to come out. And Bongo was raring to go, beating his chest like the monkey he was to get ready for it.

[attr="class","wizzcred"]❤ wizz

tl;dr:

- maple releases the bite on dodrio's leg.
- maple is yawning at corviknight to make it go sleepytime.
- bongo is getting RESTLESS.

Shades, DRIP

That wide grin only grows when Isaac comes in with a hefty knee buckle stomp, and damn was Ashley going to provide a level of banter. "Now how could I start shit without my dude here to help." He cracks his neck, as it seems Isaac has this handled.

He almost offers to take them and line them up for nut-cracking; a pasttime of literally kicking them in the family jewels over and over again. But that's beneath him.

No instead, someone else enters the fray, Ashley's head turning to this woman who comes in next to Isaac, with nearly unhinged expression that has Ashley's jaw drop, before saying it completely straight. "Oh, I like her. She's fun."

The banter comes to an end when one of them grapples Aki, and Ashley's first instinct is to beat the person so hard that their dental insurance, if they even had it, can't cover what he does. But as Aki bites their arm, it quickly turns into Ashley closing that distance, before turning to Aki.

He fully turns his back on the thug for a moment, as Aki is hugging herself. Ashley isn't the most emotionally available guy right now, but what he is is a protector, and as one of those lovely idiots, the one who had Aki as a hostage chases after, Ashley decides to introduce him to the ground, in a very fun right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook, nose shot, nose shot, nose shot, nose shot, all in order to ensure the guy whistles out his nose old showtunes as he hits the ground. Ashley takes a breath in.

"Tag out. You two got this, right?" He smirks towards Cygne and Isaac both. Both of them had this covered. He gets next to Aki, and with consent if given, he pats her head.

"It's gonna be okay. You're safe now."

Ash says it as it is. Because honestly, fuck Walsh. "... eh... I follow one guy. Gavin. Walsh can kiss my ass." But aside from that, Isaac was right. They had both suffered enough from today. Ash was tired of that suffering. It was never going to go away... but that darkness shrank tremendously.

Thing about therapy. His biggest lesson. It helps to talk about it. Holding it in is the true killer. It signs the death warrant.

When Isaac winces at the Pokeball holding Kiryu, Ash nods. "Anything. You name it. I may only have an arm right now, but I will do whatever you need, man." He meant it too. He needed him to go carry Kiryu, he'd find some power to pick it up, hernias or no. If he asked to jump off Mt. Pyre, he would. Primal Point? Sure. They'd go out with a bang.

He would follow Isaac back to hell if asked. Especially after what he had done.

Some time later...

The best part about having a boyfriend who cooks is that breakfast in bed is almost assured. The best part for Kepler, is that not only is Ash quick to get up, but he's not a complete idiot. He fetches their own personal breakfast for the couch; their duo bags of candy.

Maybe it was because he knew Kep's eating habits from the sushi day, and decided a chocolate bar sounded a bit more scrumptuous than actual breakfast, but more probably he was just trying to make this boy happy. Ashley felt happy too, fetching the bags, and placing them right next to the couch, snuggling right back with Kepler, as he fishes for something inside

"Most fun of a first date I've had. But then, going to a sub sandwich store of a first date for my last one is kind of easy to beat. Guy was awful." He has the blanket over the both, as he pulls out a small box of pocky sticks.

"Thank you, Mikey." He pulls it open.

He looks over Kep, leaning his head on his shoulder, before giving him a big wide smile. "Hope it was a good one for you too, babe?" He calls Kep 'babe', if only because he wants him to know Ashley is using it as a term of exclusivity. His silver eyes lovingly trace every inch of Kep's face. He leans in to kiss Kep's cheek.

Damn, he was going to enjoy seeing Kep a lot like this. He was already addicted to that happy feeling in his chest.

The arm slings around his shoulder. He damn near winces at it, but he feels better knowing that this was fixed. No, it was mended. Fixed meant that it could go back to being what it was. This time... this couldn't just be fixed with a simple apology. Ashley was going to suffer for the rest of his life for this.

Even so, Isaac was strong too. Kiryu must have rubbed off on him. He was going to get out of this hellscape he felt around him. It was shrinking, but it wasn't fully going away.

"Yeah... no one can it alone."

It's quiet for a moment, as Isaac is laughing. All the while, Ashley can't help but return the laugh. But jolts of pain run up his right arm. Guess he didn't have complete and total nerve damage. "I might actually. Course, she'll kill me. I've seen her fight now, man. She's scary." He's laughing, but proceeds to attempt to pull himself up.

"Well then. What now?" His left hand is outstretched to Isaac, and he smiles. Not like before, but... it's a reinvigorated friendship. A kinship. "Back on the horse? Or you wanna hide out? We've done work, seen our fair share of hell... and honestly? Fuck Walsh."

Hearing about Kiryu makes it worse in a good way. It puts something there. As opposed to removing the pain of her by calling her weak and destroying his preconceived perception of her, he now gave her every credit. She was strong. The strongest Isaac had, and kept him alive all this time. And Ash tried to spit on the memory. It was the rudest thing he could have done.

Getting onto his ass with one arm is hard, but he gets through it all the same. Sitting next to Isaac, as his broken arm is hard to move. Hell, he's sure the nerves are shot. Makes it a little easier knowing he can't feel pain, but damn his right arm is gonna feel this later when they fix him up.

"She was one helluva an Aggron." What else is there to say? Kiryu was the best of the best. Ashley at one point wanted an Aggron, something like Kiryu, but now the thought feels like spitting on her memory. No way in hell Kiryu can be replaced. Not to Ash. Kiryu was to Isaac, as Jubilee was to Ash.

They were both gone now.

After so many times of Isaac being there for Ashley, it was high time he repaid the favor. He tries to scoot a little closer, as Bongo sits behind them both, to watch on. "You've always been there for me. I should've been there to screw your head back on. Guess we both got fucked up too much to be each other's rock." It just happened minutes ago. They both know the depths of the abyss, as Ashley gives a look to Isaac. It's not Isaac's fault. He ran because otherwise, that sniper fuck wad would have taken more. So he gives a sheepish smile to Isaac.

His best friend. "I'm... never going to be able to forgive myself for doing that to you. For the things I said today. For how it all went down. But you brought me back from hell. From the brink." With a hand on his shoulder, the only hand Ashley can move, he pats it before trying to smile.

"Thanks, brother." He tries not to laugh when he puts it together. "Arceus, ana fell is going to kill me."

Kep's eyes are cute. They move to him, to his face, to his chest, and away. Ashley knows that the laugh was enough to calm Kep down. Ash is smiling at Kepler. In fact, he finds Kep so cute that his heart is beating extraordinarily harder. If arrhythmia was an issue, Ashley might have had it if Kep weren't here.

The babbling starts. And he finds it even cuter, hanging off his words. Even as he apologizes, Ashley is giving that same charming smile.

"You do have friends. And now a boyfriend who is really into you." He coos out, leaning in closer, only for Kep to speak more. How incredibly forward! Ashley pulls him into his lap, taking the chance to match that forwardness. With a lovely Kep atop of him, Ash smiles from below.

"It was forward. I like it though." He pulls Kepler into a big kiss, wasting not a single moment to show affection, only to break it for a moment. "Let's punch out that v-card then." His silvers are into Kepler's, and as he begins to undo his own shirt, he looks up into those eyes once more.

He stops. He's looking into them. His heart is beating harder, its in his ears. Androgynous, cute, sassy, smart.

His shirt is undone, thrown onto the floor. "I'll show you the ropes. I'll be gentle. Kep."
