"circe," dominic says into his phone. "i think we pissed off the wildlife." he pulls his phone away from his face to turn on facetime as he puts the mask up over his nose and mouth. he turns the phone around to point the camera and oozing poison across the ground - it catches the dead ranger in the corner of the frame. there’s a set of bottles floating across the liquid; circe would recognise them as the bottles they’d brought below the city.

he tossed out a pokemon’s capsule as his gligar joins marcel’s mega-evolved metagross. the pokemon looks to its trainer at a loss and dominic points at the bottles, urging it to pick them up from the noxious poison. the gligar swoops down and retrieves them, sucking up some of the poison as it goes, protected by its IMMUNITY ability.

IMMUNITY

ABILITY CAPSULE
redeeming from pokejob
gligar, sand veil -> immunity

dominic is wearing a gas mask because he came prepared and isn’t about to inhale the fumes from that thing. the light from his togekiss’s SUNNY DAY glints off his sunglasses as the man steps off his garchomp. his gait is swaying; he hasn’t slept in 72 hours and he’s lagging behind gavin and marcel.

he tosses out his houndoom’s pokeball and prompts it to mega-evolve, gesturing vaguely at the trash pokemon as a command. the pokemon gives a snarl in acknowledgement and lunges forward, flames flickering at its paws and in the recesses of its throat.

a voice calls out from ahead and dominic glances up from his phone, narrowing his eyes against the sun and the tint of his glasses just in time to catch his houndoom barrel over a woman. he quirks his eyebrow and calls out a muffled and half-hearted "sorry."

the houndoom doesn’t seem to notice as it rounds on the garbodor, its SOLAR POWER flaring in the wake of its INFERNO as it sets the trash heap alight.

dominic is attacking!

scraggy from dominic sinclair going to Bailey Cooper




sirfetch'd from persephone amavi going to Bailey Cooper




dominic sinclair receives hitmonchan and lucario from Bailey Cooper iirc

there's a run-down shack with a curiously maintained garden somewhere near route 119; dominic knows this because even though he hates the torrential rain and the tangle of trees, his arcanine finds great joy in running rampant through the undergrowth and breaking through the brush meaning he'd be forced to venture out.

generally, he'd let it loose and pay little attention to what the pokemon did as he follows its trail of bent grass and snapped branches to the garden, but this time dominic found himself staring as the arcanine chases down a squawking vullaby, knocking it around between hefty paws the moment it reaches the pokemon. unwilling to deal with a angry swarm of the vullaby's maternal figures, dominic grimaces and tosses out an empty pokeball to silence it.

dominic allows his eyes to narrow. "people like her?" he repeats slowly. "it’s a miracle we let her live," he corrects after a pause, his eyes flickering to his own shadow, smiling latently at the way the edges bleed and distort.

does gavin not realise, dominic wonders with a forced grin, that he’s more akin to emma than he could ever know? it’s distinct from malice; this brand of precise, pragmatic ruthlessness that he understands like a mother tongue - violence is just an expression of it. but the apathetic detachment carved into his spine is his own; dominic finds himself sneering at gavin’s display of loyal devotion over something so expendable as this.

"you should know what they always used to say to us." the humour in his tone doesn’t match the content of his words. "always strike first. you understand my apprehension. and you best keep that bitch in line - i’ve no need for a washed-up killer with a grudge and a tendency to turn."
