perhaps it had once been beautiful.

the structure of the tank still withholding empty waters. dull light peering into the murky substance with not a trace of life left behind. all creatures that had once flourished in this place were taken by rocket. the result certainly wistful.

it was a quiet place however— surprising given slateport was almost always expected to have somebody loitering close by. jayde relished in the fact it had been otherwise. taking a bite of a meat bun he'd managed to grab before the entirety of them were gone. settling upon a still—standing bench.

the researcher crossed over his mind in the reticent moment. knowing that other matters had to be pressed rather than left unspoken. they'd considered a well likely place for his supposed target. something that was yet to be confessed to one in particular. not that rocket had much say when they didn't know what he was doing.

a heavy sigh followed another bite.

silent cries become louder as jayde makes his approach in the distraction. however— these strange creatures are not willing to allow passage. jagged stones force him to skid to halt and a distinct tch! slips by his lips.

he turns back, and to much of his dismay, regards aza in the struggle. "gal!" the voice shouts, although his friend would've made haste either way. the barrier becoming visible only when the nihilego was close enough to the dragon's head.

protect serving as a brief chance.

i really don't want to use this. but we need to get a move on. hesitation is apparent upon his serious expression but, it doesn't last for very long. another companion is released into the fray. sol takes his entrance with a bellowing howl of enthusiasm.

—and then it fades elsewhere.

the mutt is bewildered by his surroundings and his struggling comrades. jayde quickly snaps him out of it. "send them flying!" the swampert and lycanroc both nod their heads. what had once been a beautiful shade of green started to turn eerily red.

sol chose his target quickly. the nihilego that had yet to latch onward fell beneath the frightening gaze of the beast. rock climb was clear against the silvery shade of its paws, however, it was not the pursuit being used. the rapid motion shifted into a violent spin as he bounded along the cavern walls. drill run throttling forth.

meanwhile it had become a tug of war between the firmly latched on nihilego and gal. the slippery substance of the creature didn't make things any easier. the pair of pokemon communicating to each—other in frustrated grunts and roars. the larger water—type finds there is no other way. dreading the time to come.

it was the same silvery shade that engulfed one of its large large hands. swung backwards into the eventually motion of hammer arm. something that would both hurt the enemy and the unfortunate garchomp.

she was a child.

or at least, in his eyes, the nonsense that came forth was that of an individual that didn't know anything. the sudden movement was slow, so terribly slow that it reminded him of her excitement over friendship.

the larger hand caught the frail wrist, and then, would reach for the other if she tried. fingers curling into the pale flesh with a terrifyingly firm grip.

"you're ignorant and stupid, esme cantrell," he said, eyes narrowed, "don't feed me false narratives when you were so easily fooled. when you didn't recognize a well—known criminal. are you even truly a gym leader? would you have allowed me to stay in your town, and hurt your people too?" he laughed, a scoff of mockery that slipped by his lips.

jayde shoved the girl backwards, a hard force to server the proximity they had once shared. she would've either fallen or stumbled. not that it really mattered to him. all he could imagine was her companions. the dread upon their features.

"you know nothing about how this world works, but, maybe this will serve a grand lesson." he said, just then, his attention drawn towards the slight quake of the building.

and distant screaming.

selby was also suddenly alert, his growl resounding throughout the room once again. brows had furrowed with irritation. someone had clearly intruded the building. certainly not without reason.

those same golden eyes glanced towards the girl before approaching the door. "it might just be your lucky day." he said, the metallic structure slamming shut behind the pair that were now gone. jayde reached towards his side, not bothering with the pistol just yet as he released foxglove.

"don't destroy the place." was all that had been said before they both moved ahead. they were just a floor above the lobby, so it didn't take much to get there. the houndoom was the first to notice the swarm of uninvited guests and downed rocket grunts.

of course, the beast didn't care much for the people.

nasty plot was always active in that dark mind. his flamethrower oozing by parted jaws as it aimed to hit the entirety of the group. foxglove was terribly slow with his arrival, but managed to make it just in time, letting out a huff of challenge as the ground rattled. beneath the enemies earth power started to rise.

jayde had taken the opposite hall, nearly recoiling at the destruction his friends were doing. at least they had proven a reasonable distraction. with aza at his side, he gave the wave of a command, sandstorm beginning within the lobby.

the perfect cover.

it wasn't especially hard to sneak up on someone. despite the encirclement of equally strong companions, jayde saw the figure through the torrent of sand. he charged at him when the time had seemed appropriate, aiming to kick the center of the intruders back. enough he would topple over.

it was almost humorous.

those of such importance in regards to hoenn couldn't have been easily fooled. jayde had met plenty of gym leaders to know it wasn't the case. then again— some people liked to surprise him.

cait alfric was certainly a startling character.

however, she'd never been as brainless as to approach slateport by herself. the freshly appointed leader of dewford was not entirely a threat, although, every individual of power held relevance to rocket.

especially those that held money.

the girl was locked within a relatively normal room, albeit it being once an office. many people affiliated with rocket were in the building, but, not enough that they were anticipating some kind of invasion.

selby followed the man down the hall where they reached said room. unlocking the door as the pair stepped inside, the houndoom letting out a low yet hostile growl towards esme. clearly the mutt was not friendly with people. even those of darker side.

"you'll be taken from here. i don't deal with torture, but, if you'd known who i was from the start maybe you wouldn't have to worry about neither of those things." tanned arms enfolded over his chest, passing a glance towards the still frightening beast.

"stop it." jayde said, the immediate command earning a scowl as selby settled down, "seriously, why are they appointing people like you as gym leaders? the league must be desperate." he paused, furrowing his brows, "did you ever consider any of the dangers? what about your pokemon? i'm sure they'll love playing slaves to rocket now that you're gone." his words were crude, but lacking of taunt.

rather he seemed quite afflicted.

their descent further into the gully of a seemingly endless cavern, is gifted the presence of light. the outlandish hue resonates an encroaching omen and although jayde had feigned ease, his mind was tormented by the unlikely eruption of fira.

her flash of daunting fangs flickered more clearly in the wavering expression than his previous zeal for discovery. it was the first it had ever been done and as such, seemed reasonable of concern. however, his weight against the grimy floor pulled forth the same feeling. overlapping what notion would've taken him elsewhere.

the light catches the heed firstly. jayde doesn't recognize it immediately but finds himself vigilant given their current surroundings. when he searches for some form of meaning in the opening, aza releases a heavy growl. the thrumming within his throat unusually soft as those questioning pools follow the focus of the dragon.

sure enough, the shadow of the beast lays before them. close by the body of water, the frills upon its back resemble undeniable familiarity. the broad wings and the sharp crown of its massive head.

"lugia—" his body moves with instinct. surprisingly it is his often brash friend that stops him. the daunting talon of its large arm blocking jayde from moving forth. when he nearly lets a boisterous curse slip from his lips, he hears the gurgle of the breath.

something is wrong.

"what is it? can you tell?" not ignorant enough to know the dangers of the world beneath the ocean, the distant noises grow louder. aza is already looking above with a more hostile rumble resounding from parted canines. when he follows the gaze he sees the lingering creatures that drift towards them idly.

their chiming noises eerily pierce him like loud whispers. tearing into his senses as an unbearable expression of hostility. he seems momentarily fazed by the unfamiliarity but, is quickly diverted by the idea that they were at fault for the guardian's state.

anger overlaps all fragments of fear.

"did you do this?" jayde doesn't expect an answer. he'd already drawn some sort of scenario within his clutter of a mind. one hand slips towards the formation of dangling capsules. their ghostly approach severing the distance of all that was pleasant.

"aza, kill them," the object at side lets out a momentary flare of light. one also large companion taking form, "gal! don't let them latch on! when we push through, we go for lugia!" the pair nod their heads in sync.

the feral nature of the garchomp charges forward. it seems hysteric for battle as its appendages begin to glow a faded shade of blue. eventually the brilliance has covered the majority of its large frame. dragon rush heads directly for one of the hovering nihilego.

swampert may not be able to soar freely, but it offers support. the sickly resemblance of gurgling from its broad mouth spews out a powerful burst of muddy water. attempting to leave their enemies frazzled as aza mercilessly released his wrath upon their dainty forms.

he watched her as always. the same lackluster expression— slightly wavering— seemed unfazed by the action. the oddity in her little performance ending in a slow and owlish blink.

"what was that meant to be?" jayde questioned, knowing, but displaying a fake ignorance. his hand reached towards the girl, ruffling the sideways mane back into its rightful place.

if not a bit disorderly.

"you're so stupid." the rarity of laughter fell behind those words, broken by the larger smile. it faded slowly, the grin absent of visible canines, lessening into a softer and more likely quirk of the lips. eventually it was just a whisper.

the touch drifted from the bed of unruly strands, enfolded against the chest within its rightful place. compared to the previous intensity held behind their words, it had completely shifted opposite.

"take care of yourself, cait, really." he says, as if strangely worried for the other. with the coming storm however, it didn't seem quite unreasonable.

golden eyes narrow. the peculiar humor encouraging him to raise the lowered hand. keeping the object out of reach from the much smaller figure.

the engraved marking is visible upon the exposed forearm, caught momentarily in the distant light. he had already made his decision but his wonder for her own actions left a momentary stretch of curiosity.

a serious one at that.

"i don't understand you," he says, but his voice is soft and scarce of hostility, "you're willing to risk your position just to spend some time with the enemy." however— if it had ever come to that point, he would've done everything to ensure otherwise.

"you're either stupid or incredibly brave." he tucks the pokeball away, tanned arms crossed against a broad chest. his expression represented its usual lack of emotion but, for a moment, twisted into a smile.

"both seem likely i guess."

the orb is familiar to the touch. its cool material settles within his larger hand, the golden eyes peering into the undeniable red. something he had not anticipated as a gift in the present deal.

jayde stares at the object for awhile, not immediate in expressing some form of gratitude. the creature dwelling within the capsule would've preferred a life of reticence by the side of the gym leader.

surely, he thinks. the hound of fire had already made a mockery of its freedom. the revenge it had enacted upon human life was just a sliver of the hatred that he held within himself. most of all. the pair were certainly not comrades. they were just equals.

"you saw selby. that man he killed was just one of many. certainly i won't touch those of mauville but, what do you think will happen to the rest?"

he holds up the pokeball.

"what would happen to this?"

the hand lowers back to his side.

"we fight together. we always have. i've lost many friends before because of my rashness. because of what i do. are you truly willing to give me this?"

it's the response he's expecting, but, it isn't the one he wants to hear. the inevitable duty was the same in regards to rocket. most were not even willingly apart of the force. their vile duties done in the utmost reluctance for the greater good.

jayde was different on the matter. an offer had been made given his background. it was a beneficial deal between the shadows of this cruel world.

the only place that would truly accept him.

some part of him feels indifferent to that constant ideal. the fragment of humanity lingering in his cold heart tempers a flame of denial. he lets out an irritated sigh before closing his eyes.

the toned arm extends itself outwards, one hand hovering in wait for the apparent gift. "it better not be anything weird." he states, his usual lackluster tone humming into their quiet surroundings.

he hears her yet— some part of him doesn't believe it. the outstretch denial of his dark words is perceived as a figment of his imagination. instead jayde remains silent till the true cause gives rise.

how persistent the gym leader is of her beloved city is beyond him. when jayde turns to look at cait, he cannot find her usual insistent gaze.

"fine."

he answers, hoping she'd look back.

"but— what will you do when someone besides myself begins targeting mauville. just as they did slateport, the same thing will happen here and everywhere else. everything about hoenn will rot."

the organization had grown beyond measure. although a nuisance of spies managed to gather a great deal from rocket; rocket had done the same. it was a toss up of hopeful resolutions that ended in failure. the league was getting nowhere.

"in this world, everyone is fighting for themselves. if i were you. i'd forget about that place."

selfishness was the key to survival. it was what had gotten him so far. at the same time, it was also the destined path of absolute solitude. something he would've never expected of the girl.

understandable, he thinks in the repetitive turmoil.

only when the girl mentions lugia does he reel within his sense of defeat. he sees flashes of the past. the beautiful beast that had saved him and the time it had all gone wrong. jayde frowns, distraught.

"i've never wanted anything from lugia besides closure. how could somebody like me, be worth anything?"

his usual emotionless display traces an inward sorrow. it shows through his glaring eyes fiercely within the dark. reflecting something that has not yet been spoken.

"i'll never be anything besides a criminal. i won't live a life like you, and even if i tried to, the world would turn against me for what i've done."

the arch softens and he looks down. lashes fall with the gaze, concealing his eyes. jayde inches from the girl and faces mauville city once again.

"i don't blame them either."
