His is an almost haughty, incredulous smile. "And what trouble haven't I already put myself in?" [break][break]

As always as ever, Rowan speaks to the truth of matters. Yet Adrian is remarkably moved by notions of family, and believes Gavin too will be dissuaded from taking direct action... Though he may have to maintain appearances. Ultimately, he chooses to believe in the modicum of good even someone like that must possess. So few people are capable of such unmitigated malice, though there are many who wish to be viewed and feared as much, he knows.[break][break]

A tender hand clasps against the back of theirs, and he quietly allows them the moment before lowering it, keeping their fingers intertwined all the while. "I can't imagine they'll have time to spare for us." With all the developing hussle-and-bussle, what value was there in seeking retribution against two misfit defectors? Adrian couldn't speak to Rowan's contributions, but his own were few and far between...
They mightn't even notice the difference.[break][break]

Still, he knew he made too light of the situation.

"Was I supposed to bring anything?" After brushing off his shoes, Adrian rummages through the bag and tosses a popular Hoenn commodity in the form of a favored snack bag towards her, allowing himself to step inside her home. It smelled to have been cleaned routinely, and treated with air freshener. He should be taking notes down on this sort of thing, really.[break][break]

The contrast between them aside, it was good to feel welcome. He looks for somewhere to set aside his sneakers before he manages to track anything in. After taking a moment to appreciate the furnishings, Adrian gestures away from the foyer, hoping to get off his feet—and to hash some things out.[break][break]

He's not entirely sure what he and Serena will be discussing, but Rowan has been direct enough with him about certain reservations, and Adrian believes Serena may share some of her own. But only time—and an open dialogue—will give him hard answers.

[attr=class,bulk][break]

Something works to their advantage, whether it was him or a breakthrough by Eris; the results remain the same, the outcome favorable. She is able to regain some semblance of herself as they battle back the gloomdweller from the shadows, and though the ground shakes with a tremor, his weary eyes droop for a moment's rest until he remembers—Howitzer.[break][break]

"Hrnngg...!" His knuckles entrench in the dirt beneath him as he struggles to prop himself up, though it is a difficult thing, and he no sooner feels himself sinking again as he does muster the strength to try again. She was here. No matter that this place was some vast, unknowing expanse—she was here and he would not surrender this opportunity so easily.[break][break]

Fatigued and dosed, Adrian finds his senses dulled, his words hardly forthcoming. Fingers trace delicately over pokeballs lining his belt,
until he feels the coarse exterior of one more tarnished—older than most. From it erupts a Vileplume.[break][break]

Rover is able to see to Adrian's care, expunging the noxious taint from his system, so that he is able to rejoin them in their pursuit of ruination.

It wasn't real.[break][break]

There was a time he would've felt to belong on this mountain, at this place. Now he may deign to call himself welcome, if only that. Winds drag at his features as if to pull his attention elsewhere, but it is a passing sensation—and the wind dies down just as suddenly.[break][break]

All was still before him. A single erected headstone, somehow doubly imposing.[break][break]

Adrian grasps at the only keepsake—a darling jewel tethering him to —that he has been allowed to keep. It fills the vacuum of heartbreak twice endured, yet still he is once again brought to his foundations. To that image of himself he wishes were true to life, to the question of whether he can ever ascertain it in his own lifetime.[break][break]

The ring slides off his finger, rolled over deft fingers as he considers the weight of it all. A streak of stoicism is left in shambles as he makes every consideration on the subject—the calescent path of a single drop streaking down his cheekbone...[break][break]

It would be better for others, perhaps, if he just... stopped. Stopped interfering in worldly affairs, and intervening with his own brand of righteous indignation. If he would just... stop. Maybe none of this would have happened the way it had.[break][break]

But he is reminded of the many nameless, faceless victims of the world's greatest antagonizing forces. These incidents cry out to him and attest, perhaps, that even indifference and resignation are never enough. Yet still the garrote wire snakes its way ever more snug against his neck, leaden with the accountability that should rightly fall upon him...[break][break]

...The ring glides back over his finger once more.

[attr=class,bulk]
Something within him claws at the subconscious mind as it slips away, and though he feels the cold earth underneath his palms, seeping into the denim of his jeans—he manages to throw his head around as dazed eyes try to make out the silhouettes. Desperately he tries to fumble for a pokeball, but he cannot seem to find them—his hands feeling nothing but chilled, dew-laden grass.[break][break]

Just then, his eyes smolder with preternatural influence.[break][break]

Eris is cloaked in not one, but two distinctive auras.[break][break]

It's strange to see how easily these familiars force their influence upon others, pressuring them even moreso than an aspect does an avatar, though he only has eyes for the immediate problem. Yet he cannot lift a hand in support of himself, let alone defiance. Even words are as yet difficult to brandish, though he attempts through a croaking plea: "S...stop."[break][break]

Is he asking Eris, or the creature that had charmed them? Though Adrian did not appear to be one of consequence, given circumstance, there was still a part of this place that bowed to Yveltal—and him by proxy. So, just maybe...

Painfully, he's reminded of the fragile nature of their existence, following after them even in the confines of this darkest dream. The ongoing struggle around them is to be hard won, and as they find themselves overwhelmed and battling against the odds, Adrian finds himself facing down a similar scene—watching as Howitzer, in her overzealous nature, manages to find herself surrounded by enemies—all of whom rake and tear until she is brought down. His heart skips a beat as pupils dilate.[break][break]

It isn't real, he tries to steel himself, though the moment leaves him crestfallen. They are all of them victims, but she was innocent of any wrongdoing. Still, her unflagging devotion always earned her this sordid outcome. A fist clenches tightly around his next pokeball, hurtling it violently towards the glint of crystals as yet filtering down from the skysweald above, feeding off the latent energy.[break][break]

Erupting from the pokeball is a brilliant red Gyarados, basking in the magenta glow as its scales resonated with the strange dynergy, its already massive scale swelling as the length of its form undulated against the ground, letting out a low growl that could be felt as a tremble through the air. Bonded to Adrian through battle, its battle fervor was bolstered by a fierce sense of righteous indignation that called for wrath and ruin.[break][break]

Just one more time before I go...


[attr=class,bulk]
It will be over after today, Adrian thought to himself, perhaps relieved to see journey's end... Closing out this peculiar chapter in his life's history.[break][break]

As the skies ooze with a sickly shade of magenta, the townsfolk and others are able to rightly assume the auspicious nature of the development, followed by the arrival of their hero—Zacian—to lead them into the fray. He recollects the Three Day War, the time spent before the Mauville Warfront broke out—to the darness that consumed Slateport, and then more directly manifested in Sootopolis—and he felt the same chill running down his spine. He would have to be remarkably foolish—or brave—not to feel a pang of dread.[break][break]

There are little, tenders moments shared between himself and , as they make their egress from Circhester. He alongside Howitzer to the crossroads, then riding astride the Arcanine to avail himself to what can only be described as... A cesspit of all that was foul and rotten in the world:[break][break]

A horde of these fetid creatures and their gangling kingpin have formed a host to the south, enveloping Wedgehurst as if a lingering miasma. The Skeleton is then confronted by the Black Knight, though Adrian would know them by different names and associated tales stemming back from his first life—the true one.[break][break]

There, standing just on the brink, he surveys the enemy—making his projections. Perhaps it is a sense of hopelessness that causes him to keep Howitzer at his side, rather than safeguard her away in a pokeball—a sixth sense for the natural conclusion rapidly approaching him, allowing him to let loose with wild abandon.[break][break]

Just one more time before I go...


[attr=class,bulk]
Reluctant in his going-ons in Galar, Adrian grounds himself in this distorted memory by pursuing conflict. But the fragmented existence addles his mind—when he slumbers, it is oft difficult to tell where the dream ends, and this strange fable begins. It is a curious, jarring experience that challenges the visceral nature of the human condition. Somewhere out there, beyond the stretches of space and time, of fiction and fact—their old life awaits them... Or at least, one chooses to believe. Restlessness with being unable to directly pursue such an ultimatum is, of course, enough to leave him dissatisfied. Malcontent with little recourse, and few places to direct his frustration...[break][break]

By helping to push back the poison, he strengthens his bond with his pokemon, allowing him fond memories of previous excursions—moments of no small glory, for someone whose life has since dwindled as a flame in the night's wind—and these flickers kindle a passion that may have otherwise dulled, left to rot. Once more he is reminded how fortunate they are, to have these mystical creatures at their side...[break][break]

...But faces are drawn with lines, wrinkles that tell of a passage of time—of a foreboding approach towards the conclusion of a natural cycle, and in this he finds himself driven further—towards desperation and ire, with a fierce need...[break][break]

Adrian grows wistful and withdrawn, fearing for the worst... That they might be required to live out their days here, spending this small moment in the sun languishing under strange stars, away from a place of belonging.[break][break]

Those closest to him can see the breaks. Losing touch with what made him him, he almost seems like a different person—despite his efforts to appear as anything other than his fondest memory of himself. It all seems so far off now...[break][break]

tags ADRIAN keeps himself grounded in the memory by battling. Grows increasingly weary with time, hoping a return is close in the distance. Finds the emergent technology interesting, and would dabble where permissible, though only as made available to him. (BLACK CRYSTAL SHIV - KNOCK OFF)[break]

Adrian takes a step away from the dwellers in the gloom, finding himself unable to muster the words, to give the command that might set the hound at his side loose upon them. Instead he feels the uncomfortable sensation of some noxious ooze slicking against him where Razz manages to deflect the brunt of Eris' attack. He flicks away at the slime, but it permeates the skin, rendering him unwell...[break][break]

Ahead of them, the loose interpretation of a RUIN BEAST lies in wait, whereupon Adrian turns his focus at feeling the welling ire of Yveltal as it shares his eyes, though itself distanced. "Howie, run them down," he manages with a murmur before she sprints ahead of them all. As she leaves his side, Adrian feels his strength failing him, and a fleeting sense of security...[break][break]

Something feels as though it has begun to... slip away, perhaps.[break][break]

He can't quite place it, and instead opts to keep his attention on the canine rushing after the strange simulacrum staring them down. Howitzer burns bright as she approached, chasing after the shadow and snapping at its heels—dispelling the dark with her resplendence. All while he's forced to one knee.[break][break]

The creature is forced to retreat, and one of the last things Adrian consciously remembers seeing is it and Howitzer disappearing into the distance, himself progressively succumbing to the poison.[break][break]

"Don't let up—" Compelled yet physically unable to pursue, Adrian is determined to follow her trail, committing to memory as he slips—leaving the others to drive out the shadows that have cast their influence upon them.

[attr=class,bulk]
Time passes them over after their victory, but with it comes a lull in the pace of their displacement here. Peace finds them for a time, allowing others to be crowned as kings, lavished and praised for their deeds, while elsewhere the struggle continues. Adrian finds it especially disheartening that CALYREX does not make a third return—namely for the sake that such an auspicious would, one might hope, herald their return to Hoenn proper. But no such release existed.[break][break]

With little recourse, Adrian settles in with those closest to him, finding himself pleasantly surprised when takes the first step towards a proposal that was a long time coming. With this development came a fresh wave of complacency with this little life they had now eked out for themselves. One might think they had, even for the little hiccups, found peace for themselves.[break][break]

And yet while they had found in each other a lasting sanctuary, he would be forever plagued by thoughts of home, and of the things lost to time...[break][break]

tags ADRIAN manages to adapt for the short term of ONE YEAR, spending a much needed respite with family and loved ones. But within TEN YEARS he quickly finds himself tired of fighting, drained of his usual charisma after years spent without what were once essential amenities or access to modern commodities. ADRIAN keeps a piece of jagged BLACK CRYSTAL (KNOCK OFF) as an impromptu shiv.[break]

Adrian is yet to arrive at the stadium when the warning bells ring out, sounding the call to arms as the city is rushed by pokemon adorned in crystals of stygian make. His Unown-M spreads its unfluence thin, unable to make the difference he might've hoped for—and so he makes the determination to stow it away, withdrawing the pokemon in favor of something more suited to the tasks ahead.[break][break]

He bursts into a sprint towards the nearest city wall, abandoning those at the stadium to their fate, as he rushes to fortify an undermanned portion of the perimeter. Scores of unremarkable, highly volatile pokemon begin pouring from beyond the horizon—stretching further than he can see in the dystopic lens of this world. It's enough to make one lose hope, if the peasantry is to be believed.[break][break]

And though Adrian may find himself wanting to buckle under the pressure, he instead hurtles a slightly tarnished pokeball skywardly, causing it to erupt in an arc of light before a tremendous creature fills the sky with its meandrous form; his Gyarados, Furor, descends from on high with a noted grace to its movements...[break][break]

" EARTHQUAKE! "

...ducking its head, allowing its tail to follow through, flicking its girth with a ground-shuddering thrashing as it pounded against the earth with its gargantuan strength.[break][break]

Feeling the ground tremble beneath his wobbly knees, his mind is fuzzy as his focus is tunneled on the pokemon, unable to go to the lengths and understand the situation further—to pursue the source of this virulence. Instead, he only hopes what he's doing is enough to stem the tide...[break][break]

Adrian finds himself backstepping as the manifestations assume their otherworldly guise, finding himself staring at the vestigial spirit of a ruin beast—though he does not know it as this, but some strange almagamation of Razz's guilt and the begrudging spirits' warped machinations. The air bites at his lungs much the same, and recognition comes to a distant creature that shares his eyes, but does not deign to enlighten him. He is left to confront this strange creature blindly. And help was so far away, it would seem...[break][break]

Adrian might have grabbed for a pokeball, but the frigid chill slows his bones and gives him pause. Razz and Eris are much faster to the draw, and in the interim, they are his last and only defense as the bite of winter envelops them. It was all... beyond natural. He couldn't really make sense of this implacable feeling, other than as the influence of the creature(s) looming just out of reach.[break][break]

"What... can we do?" Frost sets in and dampens his speech, causing his teeth to chatter once or twice as he mouths the syllables.
He holds his arms around him to abate his shivering, and a sense of despair grips him... He is beginning to feel the weight of this place, a telling sign...[break][break]

But there is a fire that burns brightest in that most grim dark, as a creature borne of light and life bounds for them as if on wings, gracing Adrian and the others with its visage as the ambient heat billowing from its core saturates their essence. This creature is Howitzer, and yet it is not... Her pokeball remains against his waist, inert.[break][break]

But beyond a shadow of doubt, she there yet stood, undeterred by their foe.
