There it was, Kouji might have forgotten about the edge that Cillian Quinn could hold, their last talk had been amicable, but he knew it well now.
[break][break]
At least this person wasn’t going soft, nowhere near.
[break][break]
Looking at the scars, and matching the look of the man, Kouji let loose just a little smirk. ”My bad, I’ll keep that in mind in the future.” He wasn’t much of an appointment person.
[break][break]
”I wanted to talk to you about…Loyalty.” Kouji put the word forward, he didn’t like methods like this, but speaking to Fujihara, and others, a little carrot was always worthwhile.
[break][break]
”Maybe a little about traitors, but the worst kinda guys to keep ‘round are the ones that’ll turn tail when you need ‘em most.”

Kouji joined in, as he brought out his Umbreon; the golden lines on her body began to glow as she released a large snarl, a wave of darkness that struck the other pokemon as they began to come ou-
[break][break]
Ah, interesting, there were more people hiding away in the corners, were there not? They seemed to expect this? Surrounding them, there were no risks of them dying in this place, but even then being attacked on all sides wasn’t a pleasant sensation.
[break][break]
”Seems like they just jump us, I’d do the same in their shoes.” He said with a wry smile as Umbreon provided a helping hand to Unown. These pokemon reminded him of his SPECTRA trial which he already felt nostalgic for, being an over the top idiot had been fun.
[break][break]
”Hey, weren’t you one of my graders for Spectra?” A weird place to get distracted with that detail.
[break][break]
There wasn’t time for that any longer, and just as he had said that, they replied with their own Hidden Powers, his vision was surrounded in white; this was some kind of displacement.
[break][break]
The next place he found himself was in a cavern, the moonlight barely leaked into chamber itself, providing a single ray of illumination. Kouji’s eyes needed a moment to adjust, a second until a spiritomb, with it’s large smile came out to greet them. It looked like it was time to lay a ghost to rest.
[break][break]
Umbreon popped in next to him. "Hit 'em with a foul play."

Kouji thought of the dogs of the battle of the cave, in his case he remembered the dog of the shield.
[break][break]
Was it them?
[break][break]
”Fighting fire with fire will work, but we’re not the good guys, it works better for us that the other side starts flattening their own darn towns first.” He leaned back and finished off the rest of his green full english smoothie, and tightened up the lid. ”Let’s just be glad they’re burned, I’d wager more on our scientists than theirs, our smart guys are pretty good, and well, I ain’t know you so well, but you seem like you’re smart too.” Kouji said as he stretched out.
[break][break]
”I wonder what you’d make of those strange Ultra Wilds, the other dimensions. A guy who knows his books really well might be able to see the things we’re missing.” He sought the answer for a moment and then got up to his feet.

Kouji kept a steady gaze fixed on Zev as the man spoke, explained just what he remembered, but there was a difference there, wasn’t it? It wasn’t an experience, but injected knowledge, was it because he forgot?
[break][break]
”You don’t remember being King of Hammerlocke, your dungeon, the final battle?” He asked, though he had to struggle to keep his voice even, and yet still he couldn’t keep out the building tension, as if he had to squeeze out each and every word.
[break][break]
”How you tried to rule the city with an iron fist, while your fellow King focused on…An adventurer’s guild?” There were details that were beginning to fade, even for him. He couldn’t remember much of that other King, other than he was the top Champion, Kyle.
[break][break]
He felt the annoyance building, growing, bubbling until it was ready to burst; he tried to stop the deluge, and yet it still managed to drip through the cracked dam. ”You don’t remember torturing people? How everyone gave up on Rocket, right until the moment we got back?”
[break][break]
He considered the fact that the man might have been lying, but even in this haze known as disdain, he didn’t see the advantage in doing so. ”Did you turn your darn brain off for twenty years of a dream?” Maybe it was a simple matter of a difference in age, for Kouji galar had been longer than all of his life before that point, but for Zev it was a simple twenty years?

”Ya get paid to think, not be strong, ever heard the saying? Try catch two raboots and you’ll lose ‘em both.” In part, he was glad that Amor wasn’t holding back, cos he wouldn’t have to hold back either. There was an easy thought above it all, he might not have liked Amor, but he was pivotal for Hammerlocke.
[break][break]
”If you’re still smithing, figured out a way for us to get that Dynamax back?” He said with a chuckle just as he could hear the clicking of pokemon. He looked at the pokemon that were scuttling around in the corner, his hand went to his pokeball immediately as he brought out Kommo’o.

”Use Leer.” A powerful look that spread over the environment, a pressure that seemed to cause others to let down their guard.

Is this how he died? Damn, he really was running into assassins an awful lot, wasn’t he? Still, there was a smirk on his face, waiting for that punchline, it grew more and more strained, until Desiree burst into laughter, and he released a sigh of relief.
[break][break]
”Callan’s Record? The elite four?” He thought he knew her face, but then again a man like him can’t admit to being a fan of idol music, he made sure to keep his expression carefully balanced.
[break][break]
No point being some weirdo superfan.
[break][break]
He took in a deep breath, before his eyes caught onto the Bonsly, who Desiree was ready to catch; the attempt to catch it was rather smooth. It didn’t matter where, there were people properly capable of battling regardless of their roles.
[break][break]
”Nice catch.”
[break][break]
There was a Ribombee that flew by at the edge of his vision, but he didn’t pay much attention to before that initial glance. His eyes went back to Desiree, his eyes hovered over her tattoos for a moment before he locked eyes once more.
[break][break]
”Kicking around here for a lil while for work, and for that fancy ol’ gym.” He did kind of want a cake now, guess he could do it after a heavy exercise session.
[break][break]
”So looking forward to tasting the baking of a rising superstar.”

Kouji sighed aloud at the question.
[break][break]
”I’ll take that as permission to speak openly then Harcourt, I don’t have a bone to pick with you.”
[break][break]
”I have a whole skeleton. Don’t worry though I won’t let it meddle with my work, and I ain’t gonna attack one of my bosses. But if you were to die tomorrow, I’d be the first one there at your funeral, and the last to leave, dancing on ya grave.” It wasn’t delivered as a jape, nor a joke, maybe he took it too far. That wasn't the real answer, and Kouji had one more thing to get out before he got to that point.
[break][break]
”Before I carry on, tell me, what do you remember about Galar, and the dream?” Kouji asked the question, wondering just how much this man recalled. A part of him noted that it really didn’t matter, it was a pointless question for him to ask.
[break][break]
Neither answer would abate this anger, and yet both answers carried the risk of further fueling the flames of his hatred. After this talk, would it grow to the point it’d consume him? It was a risk, but he didn’t like to back down from a clash. Whether it was in the form of fists, or words, he wanted to stand his ground against the man who challenged him to the truth.

Well, time to make the next meal, Kouji looked at the well cooked steak on the side, the greens, the beans, and even the gravy before he shoved them all in a blender which led to a new set of howls from Absol.
[break][break]
Still, he served it into a bowl and handed it to his pokemon, before looking at Dirk, and his Houndour.

”You guys want so-You didn’t park your bike in my house, did ya?” He asked for a moment as he considered just who he was dealing with.

That one surprised Kouji.
[break][break]
”We’re not?” Then why the hell were they here to scout this place out? Kouji seemed surprised enough that the venom in his voice usually reserved for this man was gone without a trace. Still, he had no choice but to recollect himself for a moment. If it wasn’t a matter of attacking this place, then there was another reason?
[break][break]
Way above his pay grade.
[break][break]
He took the binoculars, and took a look over the fishing town, the houses were held together properly, the people seemed to be able to move well, and it seemed like…”Aren’t there more people here than usual, Beast Harcourt” This time, he didn’t forget as he handed the Binoculars back to the man.
[break][break]
”People diving, more people boarding it up. Ain’t sure if it’s because of the Autumn storms, or if they were hit by some kinda disaster recently.” Last time he had been here had been before…
[break][break]
There went the rest of his mood, he spat at the ground, before he loudly kissed his teath.
[break][break]
”Tch, I’d rather be anywhere else than with this guy.” In that moment of irritation, those slipped out naturally.

Kouji considered it, what would he really say to those people?
[break][break]
”Ain’t got nothing to say to ‘em Hitoshi, I’ll wait until we see each other on the battlefield, those guys will come out again at some point.” Yet here they were feeding them information, was this RKS simulation truly still worth it even with all of that in mind? Kouji couldn’t tell.
[break][break]
But he left regardless, to prepare for what would come next…
[break][break]
What they saw was a great tree, tall, exceptionally so. But what was surprising was the pokemon underneath, and the fact it was calling to them.
[break][break]
It was strange, but it was fine; he did so.
[break][break]
”What do you reckon this tree is?” Maybe the man he was working with would have some idea on it.

It wasn’t anything like the engine of a motorboat, but he could maybe figure something out with enough time.
