Projectile Pokemon were not as durable as one might think. As Bongo, Watson, and Coloumb intended an adorable robbery, the trio are met with the realization that they are going too fast. And the truck? Metal. Coloumb might find purchase to impale on the food truck, but Bongo and Watson were able to go head first into metal.

No wonder Iron Head hurts so much. As soon as collision is made, the thump of Bongo's head led him to slap onto the street, fainted from the sheer impact... and then, the little chimp, hurt and tired, turns his head to Watson and begins to laugh. Watson really was his best friend.

Jelly's emotions really were a far cry from the antics of the chimp and gator, and as they held each other tightly, while Bullet merely watched on, perching to see this insane battle of machismo, she just watches on, looking off to see the little bear finally getting the love he needs. The Starly chirps happily, deciding it was fine to watch. Let the boys and anchor have at it. She'd just chirp and watch on, while in the distance, Knuckles could relax, meditate, and just look on, with Sushi and Kiryu being quiet. Sushi attempting to give Knuckles their moment to relax... the world was beautiful. So many spots to sleep...

---

Isaac rose a good point, albeit with a ridiculous contest of the butt bump contest, and while he is cheering Ashley up, there's a small twinge of jealousy at the smile and admittance from the blonde. Not over Isaac, but how he did somehow get his way to that. Ash shouldn't feel jealous, but he just... does. With a hearty laugh, he shrugs it off. No reason to let that be a problem. Hearing her being so protective too, that made the guy pretty happy about it all.

"That's good to hear, man-" but he does figure to tease him wouldn't be too problematic. "-I'm sure she loves wearing the pants while you protect that smile." He snickers now, and shakes his head quickly. "Kidding." A playful tone to his voice the whole way through.

He looks at the clouds for a moment, his demeanor shifting much more positively than it had before.

"If I ever meet this sweetheart of yours, I'll put in a good word. Least I can do. And about how you bragged to your best friend about how cute and smart she is, and how you can't stop smiling when you think about her." Okay, this was fun. He just hoped Isaac didn't try to strangle him. Fuck knows, it was all in good fun!

He closes his eyes again, shooting Isaac his toothy grin.

Every emotion comes to him at once. He partakes in the swimsuit contest, some dunking, and the surfing. But nothing compares to the feeling of seeing the sleep paralysis demon in the flesh, looking them in the face, and having a moment of clarity not to shoot their brains out in the midst of the crowd.

"Fuck you, that's what I think."

Much older now, Ashley eyes Theo. Silver eyes flood with emotion, fists clinched. He can't shoot him in public, he can't strangle him to death, and certainly he can't beat him. Because then he's the bad guy. But this man? This piece of fucking shit before him, had the gall to come to Hoenn? Fan-fucking-tastic. Ashley's teeth grinding together, as he looks right to Theo with a frown.

"Kanto not enough for you, asswipe?" He wasn't going to make this pleasant. Every word that left Ashley's lips doused in acidic disgust. Any thoughts on the dome were lost then. All that was left? The need for revenge.

Oddly enough, seeing the lovely lady beneath the tree had Ashley staring for just a moment. And then the Combee who were acting pissed, but they didn't even bother her. Perplexed, Ashley, with Reinhardt, Bongo, and Pulse watch on, seeing the pissy little bees... move to the bee-at? That couldn't be right.

"If we're lucky, they just like the buzz." Ashley is grinning because he's proud of himself. Bongo and Reinhardt sigh with tired irritation, but Pulse merely gives from Ashley's phone a rather big LOL. Bongo couldn't bee-lieve this.

Oh no. Bongo's monkey face sweats in understanding. He was slowly succumbing to the puns.

Ashley wasn't here to play hero, but right now if she didn't know they were there, he'd ensure to at least be the one to get stung. He approaches Liza, before getting her attention by having Bongo use a WOOD HAMMER on the tree nearby, attempting to be out of sync with the drum machine. If she's entranced by music, the best way to get her attention is to get out of harmony to get her to pay them mind.

Wordlessly, Ashley points to the Combee from far enough away to at least warn her that she was surrounded.

The white noise is louder. That lesson he has always known. Ashley's mouth curves into a frown. Of course he knew. He learned that lesson two years ago. But now, as he is given his last task, he merely swallows his own fear. That fear that lingered in every corner of his mind. He knew he was afraid, but he knew how to control that.

Even so, as he goes over to Smythe, he knows he's on auto-pilot. He says something, a threat, not so idle, and a small forget-me-not in his left ring finger and pinky being broken.

But even so, what he says he knows he has to believe. It didn't matter what came out. The threat was potent.

By the time Smythe leaves the premises, Ashley finds himself in the headquarters bathroom, both hands tightly around the top of the bowl. He doesn't remember what his lunch was, but he remembers the taste now. That's over in the toilet, but sweating here, in front of the sink, in front of the mirror, he can see everything. He sees his past, his present, and his future, stained in red, he sees it all stained in red, he's shaking. Weakness? He dies. Compassion? He dies. Love? He dies. His eyes are completely on that mirror. He sees his silver eyes. Bloodshot. No amount of soap or water will get these hands any cleaner. He needs...

He needs to use his own blood.

With as much power as he can, he hurls his fist into the mirror, and it shatters. His hand, now shredded by the mirror, bleeds. If he stains his hands in his own blood... he can wash it away. "It'll be okay..."

It was just an accident, after all.

A trip to the medical ward is all he needs, as he smears both of his hands in scarlet.

He had to... he had to keep it together. Theo couldn't see him break. Not here. Not like that. He tried, oh how he tried. He swallowed that bile again.

As Theo pulls a gun on Mason, Ashley feels himself shocked for a moment, turning back to see the man now on the floor. The bullet through the bag on his head. Poor old bastard never saw it coming. Well, it'd be poor if Ashley had even respected him.

He'd remember today for years to come.

Theo asks the question. There's white noise in Ashley's ears as he looks at Mason. Dead. He looks at his own handiwork in Declan. Dead. He finally sees the final body, Anthony. Thanks to all this training, he knows damn well why Anthony Smythe gets to live.

"Because he's still of use to us?" The frigid tone of his voice sent chills down his own spine.

The League of Villain Gods was born! Watson joins in with the laugh, Grimace... he's trying, with Flapjack chortling with glee. They would rule them! Even Coulomb buzzed! Luster... well, that was okay, their League would begin! World domination! No... procurement of rations. Bongo spotted, in the distance, a food truck. Perfect.

This could only end well.

Jelly, on the other hand, had friends now. Sunny, Vivi, Ivan. Even Ringo, Sectonia, Ceres, and Sir Mix-A-Lot came in. Jelly wasn't alone... the little bear cried. His mom would be happy to see him living on. These Pokemon were friends... that's all a mother wants for their child, to be able to live, right? Jelly hugged primarily onto Sunny.

The world is cruel. But every setting sun finds its way to rise again.

Bullet tends to Halberd every time he falls down, to pick him back up. After all, her Trainer believed that even when you fall, you can get back on your feet! So, with her wings, she would help the birdy up over and over! When Dhelmise broke it up, she chirped happily. How fun! These guys were precious! She liked the company.

While it seemed Pluto's sphere of influence was zen, Sushi on the other hand merely held up a leg to respond to Knuckles. He said nothing, wore his black cap backwards, and just basked in it. Perhaps he could feel aura? Or perhaps... he just saw a Riolu who was antisocial, and wanted to provide a level of friendship. To open the door? Sushi was no dummy. He was quick on the uptake. Closing his eyes, he slowly hums.

---

Ashley finds himself smirking. With an idle shrug, he retorts. "It's true, man. Met a guy during the swimsuit contest. Smacked butts, but... didn't work out. Wonder if love is in the cards for me." He looks at the clouds as they move across the sky. How simple the world is, and yet complex when given color. He wondered if mint frost was doing alright.

Huh. Was that a euphemism?

It was nice he earned that respect though. Maybe Isaac and Ashley could make the world a better place. Alternatively, maybe the world is a better place without them. He doesn't know. No one does, and anyone who state's otherwise knows it's a Krokodile of shit.

Lighter for the occasion for now though. "Oh? Here I am melodramatically proclaiming my dating woes, and you have this big goofy smile on your face! Looks like you got someone on the brain." Ashley holds back, but he does jab the boy's arm. There's a big toothy smile on his face, the teasing would allow them to get out of all the depressing bits. No more Rocket crap, just two guys talking with friends. In the end, what else could he want?

"Sunshine-y though, huh?" Ashley closes his eyes. "That sounds pretty nice." He just hopes... nothing bad happens to that sunshine. Ashley just didn't know his type. He liked the moon, but he admits. Sunshine and happiness sounded better than suffering and darkness. Best way to stay out of the dark? Step out in the sun.

"Protect that sunshine, man. I envy it."

What else was there to say?

Klefki, huh? Ashley takes a moment to look it over, pondering for a moment, and holding a hand up. "You're thinking too in the box there, Shalin." He shakes his head, pointing at the key. "If we just coax one to join us for a bit, we can get more mileage." Efficiency is key!

When they move to the next room, lots of gems would be glowing. Ashley takes a moment to think, but knowing the movies, touching those was... a bad idea. As he moved to examine the gems, he stared closer, and spoke. "Whatever we do, let's not-"

Touch... them... the moment that happened, the trap doors beginning to sound off, Bongo and Bullet, along with Ashley, dead sprint towards the next room, practically tumbling after Shalin and Kiara, with Bullet ensuring that her Trainer reached the end. His heart in his throat, he falls onto his back a moment. The question came which he wanted. "I just want a sec. Keep'em for now. We'll distribute treasure at the end, yeah? When we're alive? And not dead" It wasn't snark he was trying to channel, but just attempting to breathe.

As soon as the Runerigus room began to Shadow Ball towards them, Ashley just wanted to get done with this place. How many times had he almost died?! "COME ON." He tucks, he rolls, he dodges... and by the moment they reach the turnstile room, Ashley is frazzled.

"If one more room... tries to kill us..." Ashley grumbled, feeling himself tense up. He takes a breath, and relaxes his stiff shoulders. "I'm good. Ready to go?"

Huh. Bees. Ashley decided, wanting a bit of money in his pocket, to help with the rent by taking an odd job. This one was pretty interesting. Bees. Combees, specifically. Not like Beedrills, just aggressive Combee who are, for some reason, buzzing up the place. Aggressively. Ashley wasn't the brightest, but he did have a nice bit of wisdom. Something was the cause. Combees are typically sweet little things, though they can bee a bit excitable.

He's not a bee keeper though. He doesn't know what could, aside from something hostile nearby. What could be hostile here?

Eh. It's something at least.

"Alright... Reinhardt? Pulse? Bongo? Ready to go?" His three trusted companions would be at his disposal. Reinhardt, the attack-mon Nidorino would give Ashley a nod like a Mightyena. Pulse, the Rotom who infested his phone, who bee-ps and boops. And Bongo, the monkey with a mean stick. Some time to each of them wouldn't hurt. Bongo especially, since he had been so worried of growing taller lately.

Around Oldale, there were probably plenty of hives. Maybe he could get some honey, while he's at it? Or maybe a new friend? Or a honey? These were the jokes for this entire excursion, he just hoped if some unfortunate soul got wrapped into it, they'd like his bee puns.

Keep dreaming, Ash. He chuckles to himself. At least he can bee positive.

It's a cafe, it's the morning. Ashley enjoys the mornings best he can, but he has to admit he's not the biggest morning guy. He yawns loudly, as he takes his coffee, and begins to sip. Damn... he needs to wake up. He drinks his coffee black, but as soon as he takes another sip, he quickly jumps into gear. Sensing someone behind him about to run into him, he attempts to pull his small paper cup back.

Thing about being Ex-Rocket though? Your reflexes are shot the longer away you've been. His coffee spills not on himself, but on the floor, and comically, he holds his hand out. "My... coffee..."

He turns to see the assailant of the coffee, but it's a guy with sick hair. Ashley sees that first, and any anger he might have had deflates. Not like he would've been too angry. Only if it spilled on him, and while he couldn't save the coffee, he could save his shirt.

"Why not?" He shoots the banter back, pushing his own shades up. "It'll help you wake up." It'd help Ashley too, but he wasn't the one killing poor defenseless coffee. "Name's Sawyer. I drink it black." He chimes in, pointing to a small booth nearby.

A small, pleasant conversation between two guys.

This was not the way to inflate the little chimp's ego. But as the chimp would smirk, arms crossed, he was pat by Watson, as they looked over all. He owned it all... he would a merciless god. An angry merciless god.

Vivi was so excitable, Jelly found it hard to connect. But... whenever he had a moment to chime in, he would. Sunny looked proud... and then, Jelly missing his mom. The little Stufful begins to tear up. He was a just a baby bear. He didn't want to bring down Sunny, Ivan, or Vivi's mood, but how could he not? This was his first interaction outside. Last time he was here, Mom died.

Bullet takes this as initiative. She protected Halberd, and as Ringo attempted to tingle in frustration, Bullet almost ripped into him, until Kurze intervened. When Halberd dove in like a war cry, Bullet really appreciated his rambunctiousness. It was cute, and she merely watched on.

Pluto would eye the Dudes, and egg them on. They could do it! Pluto even did such a nice thing, levitating close to the ground. It cheered them on! Up! Up! Less that, more up! up! ... the Dugtrio was in the ground. Hm. Grounded... okay, new plan. It balances on the ground to meet them halfway.

Sushi's snot bubble pops... and he begins to lazily scurry towards where Kiryu and Knuckles were. He sits down, watching Knuckles. It opens its mouth to a yawn, and slacks off. Knuckles could use a friend!

Who knew when it would be the last time any of them could see each other?

---

It's appreciated. To protect his dream... he knew Isaac was a good guy, but all he did was shoot a smile. Instead of speaking, he listens, and he only listens for now. His eyes are closed as he focuses on each word. He doesn't interrupt to answer the question Isaac poses. In truth, a myriad of reasons all meet the same logical conclusion; the world is unforgiving, and they wish to put it in a better place. At fourteen he felt that dream, at sixteen he was destroyed by that dream, and at eighteen he was self-mutilating himself for that dream.

He isn't wrong either. The League is a mess. Jelly was a victim of poaching they gave less than a Rattata's ass about. Rangers or not, the League was inefficient. You want the world to be better, you make it yourself. His story isn't wrong. Ashley even respects him more.

After all. Isaac was trying to make it a better place.

And then, he mentions Theo and Jayden's presence. Ashley's silver eyes open. He missed his old best friend, but after how he left things, he hoped Jayden found some peace. It was Theo that had him tense. Years of abuse, of torture. It comes flooding back. Killing Jubilee, and than beating that man to death plagues his mind. The countless hours of washing his hands like someone with obsessive compulsive disorder, only to feel it never enough. Beating the mirror to see himself bleed, hoping his blood will wash away that man's blood.

When Isaac finishes, Ashley finally chimes in.

"Good. Maybe with you, some good can be done." He doesn't judge Isaac. If anything, they weren't League and Rocket here; just Ashley and Isaac. Two guys. Best friends, brothers. He smiles towards Isaac, though it is small, he doesn't let it shrink. "You remind me of me. Wanting to leave your mark on the world... world is too shit for the likes of us, and it leave men like Theo to muddy the waters." He tenses again at the mention of him. He swore that day, if he ever had the chance, Theo would suffer a bloody demise.

That part is still true. That burning hatred hasn't been stifled; only shrunk to embers.

He just retorts. "I respect you." He closes his eyes again. One eye does open as he decides to tease. "She was impressed though, huh? Must have been some dynamax lady if you kept trying to stop her. But what do I know? I keep striking out."

He was smirking.

Killing in the Name Of [PAST]

THEO BECKETT         
notes
AGE: 18

KANTO, ROCKET HQ, SIX YEARS AGO

No firearm... Theo really was going to make him go all the way here. He closes his eyes, looking over the three. Anthony, he didn't have a strong opinion on, but the bastard Mason was the kind of person who deserved to die. Declan though...

Orders were orders.

"Understood."

Ashley retracts his hand, walking like a man on a mission. His shoulders weighed down, as he approaches like a shadow of death. Encircling Smythe first, he leans in close. His lips set beside where his ears would be. "If you ever try to blackmail us again, your wife will pay for it. And then your daughter. You will be left with nothing but your mistakes." It was an empty threat, but considering how venomous Ashley had been, the threat was real enough.

This was who Ashley had to be now.

Then came Moore. Ashley admits, this old dirty grandpa deserved to die, but as he swallowed his venom, he reaches closer, grabbing towards the bag, but not pulling it off. "Moore. You get to live. For now." He looks like an Arbok about to strike. He whispers something under his breath, leaving the old man quivering.

Finally. He takes a breath in, standing up tall before Declan. As Theo has asked, he looks towards the other two, and then back to Theo. He nods.

Pulling the sack from Declan's face, Ashley looks him dead in the eyes. The man couldn't have been any older than 30. He was a young politician. His green eyes peered at Ashley. His face was bruised, but his eyes held this resilient resolve. He says nothing.

Declan closes his eyes. Accepting. This hurts Ashley. It's either him or me. How many times has that justification come up? Kill or let him take another. How much does he have to suffer? Not Jayden. How much blood does he need to spill? He would not take Jayden. He wouldn't kill another innocent person. Ashley had to do this, he had to kill this man.

His foot knocks Declan over, not an overly heavy kick, just enough to have the gagged man fall back and cough. The other two do so in tandem, crying at the brutality, in case Ashley changes his mind. No. He doesn't, but he doesn't tell them to stop. That fear, that would be the same fear Ashley went to sleep with. Let them squirm in fear for their lives. Let them come to understand that choice can change.

He sits atop of Declan now, ensuring he cannot worm his way out. The broken green eyes stab into him. Why is he not afraid to die. Clinched fists, he reels his right arm back, before slamming his whole being into his face. Every single movement of his arm intent to kill. He didn't pull any of them back. Just kept slamming his right fist into the face, breaking the nose to an unrecognizable degree, and kept going. A raw Tauros meat patty looked far more appetizing than this, but as the streaks of blood coated his red hand, and his face and Rocket uniform, he continues unabated. Declan chokes on his own blood more and more, and when brain injury was certain, Ashley throws one last fist to the meat patty face of Declan Kisenger.

By time he connects... Ashley leans back. It was done.

How long had he been going now? His silver eyes look to Theo. "...dead." It's all he can say. He doesn't show his unsteadiness. Any weakness shows Theo reason to break him down more. "Told you I'd make it quick, sir." He feels the bile in his throat ready to let loose, but he gulps it back. He killed a man.

His hands... were red...

With a chuckle, he shrugs. Ashley can be foul-mouthed, but really he tries to keep that reined in. No guy likes too foul-mouthed a guy. At some point, saying fuck for the thirtieth time in a sentence lends to a bad experience. Still, as they click shot glasses, Ashley downs his own mojito shot. And he immediately regrets it.

It's the taste. Maybe he's just not a fan. But you do stupid things when you're trying to appear you have game.

"Never get used to it." He winces at the taste, but Mint seems to be grinning, as Mint orders the second round. Then the interesting question comes around, and Ashley has to respond. He chooses his response carefully though. "What indeed... what I want to be a stylist for Pokemon, for people. That probably sounds stupid. Helping people on either side of the problem. Not there yet, but saving up money."

He doesn't state Rocket specifically. Isaac has shown him not all Rockets are bad. "Melody? The Elite Four member, right?" He thinks for a moment. "She's got a good voice. Probably a good gig." Wasn't Ash's type, but she's still at least got that much. "You just do livestreams? Or are you so worried I'm a cop that you're doing things you shouldn't be?" Ash says this, the second round of shots sliding to the two of them, and he downs it without a second thought.

"Even if you were. Don't really care."
