Aisling blinked in response to Josh's enthusiasm, not expecting him to elaborate so much on her half-hearted question. She tried to listen, to seem interested. She'd never delved into a Pokémon Contest either, having abandoned that path when she abandoned her goal of being a pokemon trainer. She stared at the Jolteon, the idea of wanting to ride the spiky pokemon appearing so ludicrous to her, much less designing equipment to accommodate that idea.
[break][break]
The Champion's recounting of his success in following his dream only make her more bitter. "Congratulations." She said dully, leaving it up to Josh whether to take it sarcastically or not. "I'm glad it all worked out for you." She hated to admit it, but there was something inspiring about his success, and hated herself for feeling that way. She didn't want to go down another rabbit hole of another failed goal.
[break][break]
Her eyes flicked to Flareon. "I don't think I'd be very good at riding any pokemon." She muttered.
[break][break]
An ampharos ambled nearby. She tossed a pokeball at it. With its bipedal figure, she doubted the electric type pokemon would be any use as a mount.
[break][break]
She shrugged. "It's been a while since I'd visited Mauville city. Admired all the rich people. Admired their wallets and how easy it was to pickpocket them." She continued in her monotone speech, leaving it up to Josh to decide whether she was serious or not.

Her heart seized as he responded with a simple affirmative. She waited for further explanation but there were none. She took a step back as the thing she previously dismissed as the boulder suddenly unfolded.
[break][break]
Wide eyes stared up at the Regirock who revealed itself, flashing lights meaning nothing to her. Howard didn't even seem fazed. What had happened to him? She hated this. Hated being constantly caught off her guard. Hated not being in her element of suave jadedness. She took a hold of herself, withdrawing a breath, and crossed her arms.
[break][break]
At length, Howard spoke again, placing members of Team Rocket into two categories. Aisling felt as though she fell into neither. She only joined because she had nothing better to do. A loaded statement under the surface. She was not good at anything. Any dreams or goals she'd had in the past had failed. Every step of the way, she was met with resistance. Being a Rocket was simply something she fell into. She was waiting for the day when she would inevitably fail at being a Team Rocket member too.
[break][break]
Howard's smile was unnerving. With the lumbering Regirock behind him, Aisling almost didn't recognise the admin. She suddenly longed to summon Flareon and feel the warm of his fur beneath her fingers. Something familiar in this now alien place.
[break][break]
"I have no plans at all, much less to destroy the world." She stared at him hard, arms still crossed. "I'm not like you. I don't have ambition. I don't have friends. I don't have a purpose." She paused. "It seems that those who do, result in destruction." Her eyes flickered from the grave and back to Howard.
[break][break]
"What do you want?"

In the aftermath of the destruction wrought all over Hoenn, Aisling’s already jaded mind had grown numb to death and graves. It was easy for her to detach herself from those lost, as she never had any strong or personal relationships with anyone. If there was ever an emotion to describe how she felt, it would ‘uncomfortable’.
[break][break]
She didn’t know the underboss in any sort of personal capacity, and thus Elizabeth was simply another statistic. Thus, she stood with her hands in her pockets, a few paces behind Howard at the grave. The last time she’d seen him, he looked like a man of poverty. He still looked poor, although it was poverty of a different nature.
[break][break]
Aisling flinched suddenly when Howard turned. She didn’t bother picking up the flash drive. It seemed so long ago that she was playing around with the little Aerodactyl, attempting to tease Howard with her inefficiency. It seemed strange for such a tiny device to make such a huge difference in securing their victory.
[break][break]
His question surprised her. "Do you think of Rocket as evil?" Was this how he was responding to all Rocket graves? Would he have thought of Aisling herself as evil?

‘Valuable to those in my circle’? Aisling wanted to ask what exactly were the circles which this Josh fellow was part of. Some sort of size measuring contest? It had been a whilst since she’d follow gyms, but she was beginning to wonder if any of them had weight competitions involved.
[break][break]
She watched the nearby stream where Josh’s Vaporeon splashed about. Noticing a Clauncher there, who seemed disgruntled with the disturbance, Aisling tossed another pokeball at it.
[break][break]
As Josh’s Jolteon started barking, her Flareon dashed over, wanting to join the commotion. The fire pokemon reached Jolteon size and began letting off some heat to dry and dry off the water. Aisling trailed half-heartedly after.
[break][break]
"Why a racer?" She asked. "Are eeveelutions good for that sort of thing?" She tried not to sound too bitter upon hearing about Josh’s successful careers. It only made herself conscious that at thirty years old, she was yet to amount to anything worthwhile.

The echoing silence of rusturf tunnel was something Aisling was yet to grow accustomed to. Flareon padded quietly beside her, its fiery glow illuminating their path just enough to avoid stumbling over loose rocks and uneven ground.
[break][break]
Aisling’s steps slowed when an unexpected sound disrupts the usual tranquility—a steady, rhythmic thud accompanied by muffled voices. Her eyes narrowed as she caught sight of a woman, and then widened in recognition. It had been years, but there was no mistaking her—Miyako from that stupid forensic science program. One of Aisling's many failed ventures.
[break][break]
"Never thought I'd see you spelunking for kicks, Miyako," Aisling stepped forward into the faint light. "If you’re looking for something ‘cool,’ you won’t find it in this damp hole." She hesitated for a second, then shrugged. "But hey, maybe you’ll have better luck I’ve seen weirder things." Her tone was half-mocking, half-challenging, the kind of attitude that had kept people at arm’s length for years.

"Flareon, no!" Aisling's heart sank, not because of the fire spin's destruction, but because she dreaded the hefty fine the bookstore might slap her with.
[break][break]
Luckily, the so-called 'Captain Shalin Nariya' reacted swiftly, releasing her Frosmoth, who unleashed an Icy Wind. The chill swept over the area, dousing the flames before they could spread further. The once-singed swarm of Combee now found themselves frozen in mid-air.
[break][break]
Aisling quickly grabbed a handful of Flareon's scruff, preventing it from causing any more chaos. Frozen, the Combee's buzzing ceased, leaving an eerie silence in their wake.
[break][break]
The nearby bookkeeper, misunderstanding the situation, shook his fist furiously at both Aisling and Shalin. He cursed them both, assuming they were in cahoots, and demanded they pay for the damage. Aisling ignored his outburst, her attention focused on scanning for any Combee that might have escaped the icy fate.
[break][break]
She would not admit it, but she was suddenly thankful for the Slateport Ranger HQ and for the presence of this woman, strange though she may be.

Aisling hit the asphalt hard, rolling to a stop and wincing as her shoulder took the brunt of the impact. Flareon, however, landed with effortless grace beside her. "I should've used you as a soft landing," she grumbled to the Pokémon.
[break][break]
Fortunately, Howard wasn't faring much better, looking more like a poor man than the figure of authory. With a groan, she rubbed her aching shoulder. It's definitely going to bruise. Normally, she'd ignore his offer of help to save face, but she was too sore to be stubborn. Reluctantly, she took his hand and let him pull her to her feet.
[break][break]
Just then, Howard's Claydol unleashed a Hyper Beam at the enemy Bronzong, the resulting explosion forcing Aisling to shield her head with her arms. Baring its vicious teeth, Flareon added a Scary Face for good measure, hoping to intimidate the Bronzong enough to slow it down.
[break][break]
Without wasting another moment, Aisling bolted after Howard, the precious flash drive still in her hand.

Flareon finally began to sense Aisling's reluctance, its ears and tail drooping slightly as it realized she wasn’t budging. That was, until a stranger approached. Aisling tensed, bracing for a confrontation over her earlier rude comments. She was wrong.
[break][break]
Surprised by the compliment, she could only blink before awkwardly stammering out, "Thank you?" The idea that her Flareon's size was something to be admired had never crossed her mind—she hadn’t done anything special to encourage its growth.
[break][break]
She blinked again when the stranger introduced himself as Gym Leader Devlin. The name caught her off guard. Since giving up on her dream of becoming a Pokémon trainer, she hadn’t kept up with the gyms or their leaders.
[break][break]
"Um, okay. And what are you doing here?" she asked, her tone guarded. She disliked surprises, and to distract herself from the unease, she casually tossed a Pokéball at a nearby Squirtle.

Aisling steeled herself for one final attempt, determination blazing in her eyes. The failure of her previous tries only fueled her resolve. She mounted the Mantine once more, her mind clear and focused on perfecting every movement. As they sped across the water, she felt the familiar surge of adrenaline as she launched into the trick.
