We’ll make it a virgin then.

It’s a matter of fact statement, but one he does not intend to act upon without her blessing.

Instead he bites his tongue, allowing her to speak further on and introduce her friend, Kim’s face lighting up splendidly at her words.

Ooooooo, my little Kay is growing up so fast. Eeeeurg, you’re giving my beautiflies.

Kim struggled to maintain his composure, the councilman taking a sip and settling himself down before coming to a stand and outreaching his hand to the man.

I’m sure you already know of me but it’d be rude not to introduce myself formally. Kim Cole-Essam of league infamy.

The surname had come natural to him, but considering he had only been Cole upon their previous meeting, Kim looks to Cait apologetically.

I’m sorry for not inviting you to the wedding Kay, but we straight up did not have one. We went to a courthouse and had it legally done. Najwa isn’t exactly a people person and I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable during such a stressful time.

It was in the midst of invasion bubblings afterall. That with the added effect of Kim being as busy as he was, it was impossible to hold a proper arrangement during the time of chaos.

Hopefully the two of you don’t decide to have your wedding during times as hectic as this.” He smiles warmly, begetting thoughts of the invasions unending.

Kim had sat himself at the bar before the meeting had begun, the man having made unreasonable demands to a bartender that had no intention of following them. But, considering the fact that they had been stuck with the blabbering of Kim, pure grit displayed- or annoyance more like- in order to get what he wanted, the bartender was forced to comply to the councilman’s wishes.

And what exactly was it that he had wished for? It was a simple strawberry daiquiri, the only reason it had been denied being a lack of ingredients, a problem Kim was quick to solve with a quick teleport to and from a nearby corner store.

Finally content with having his way, Kim turned to see the two familiar faces that had made their way into the conference room, the first which had been there as long as he had and the second- 10 times more pleasant than the first- taking a seat nearby.

Hey Kay, was poppin’ my girl?

Kim says as he turns to her, bare chest exposed through the tropical blazer that hung open.

Water? Sure you don’t want a daiquiri?

He asks as the bartender places his in front of him, Kim promptly taking a sip from the chilled beverage.

There is little to no reaction from Kim at her statement, any such changes in his mannerisms being a slight squint of his eyes, which teetered more towards relaxation than skepticism.

What she said was not unexpected, many others in her positon would do the same, and if she had the qualifications for such a step she would undoubtedly be considered for whatever role she aimed for.

That being said, Kim could not help but find the selfishness of her claim to be distasteful.

I do hope you think about the safety of your citizens before reaching for a promotion, Miss Fairburne. Even after you have left an empty seat in search of grander heights, it would benefit others to at least have a plan of defense in case of another impromptu invasion.

It was unfortunate that the first thing he had thought of in terms of defense was an invasion, but it seemed that Hoenn was more prone to these than anything natural or otherwise as of late.

I’d like to speak to you more about your plans of promotion at a later date if the time ever finds the two of us.” He pauses, tapping a pokeball and releasing a Kirlia to his side, the pokemon patiently awaiting command. “But for now I’ll leave you to your duties. I hope your challengers put up a good fight as much as I hope you give them a good one. Until next time.

Kim smiles warmly at the woman, the Kirlia bowing in respect before the two swiftly teleport away; a business card gently floating down in place of where he once stood.

There is hesitation when the Hoopa opens a portal and hops though, the councilman’s brows furrowing at the idea of stepping into the unknown. But in the current climate, trekking any further would be more annoying than anything- the amount of sand he has in his shoe a testament to how long he had been wandering.

Fuck it.” He figures, hopping into the portal. It didn’t seem like his situation would get any worse, the man already unwillingly keeping up with the imp’s pace whether he liked it or not. Going through the ring at least would get him to point A to point B quicker than walking, as well as save his pokemon the energy they would likely need for furthered venture.

Upon stepping though the portal, Kim take a look around, getting a bearing on his location as he moves to empty his shoes, slapping the soles nonchalantly as he eyes the Shinx; it beginning to speak in the midst of him shaking what sand he could out of the booties. By the time it had finished, Kim had begun putting his other shoe back on, looking up at the Shinx with a dim expression.

One sec.” He says as he pulls out his phone, wiping away the dust that it had accumulated on the screen. Before he even attempted to turn it on, he spoke into the mic, “Gimme some juice Timofey.” A porygon quickly sounding from the device before it sprang to life.

Kim looks to the phone with a hand on his hip, eyes looking up as his head remained tilted down, a quick and semi-awkward smile given to the statue as the phone booted up- Kim looking down as to avoid eye contact with the somewhat imposing force that stood before him.

Once the phone had finally come on, Kim opened an app, minutes passing by as he scanned all currently documented pokemon for whatever pokemon fit the bill for the riddle provided. It took a couple more minutes, as he was having trouble finding exactly what was asked, but after a moment, he had it. So, Kim put his phone away, dusted off his pants, and looked the Shinx in its face.

Yea bud there ain’t a pokemon that fits that description. I mean you got maybe the Delphox or Slaking line but Slaking is a stretch because technically it’s just lies there. And Delpox has that long ass stick that it can used as a cane if it wants so that could work. I’d put my money on Delphox. Unless it’s Slaking then I meant Slaking.

Kim’s head turns slightly, looking at the Hoopa and speaking. “My turn now right?” Whether or not the Hoopa had assured him, Kim would go anyways. “Yea my turn.

The ancient god Tuov is speaking with their partner Nibelma about their future children and what domain each of them will rule over. First, there’s Tipodiss, they’ll rule them all, and sit at the tallest mountain to have a view over everything. Next is Wilma, who will have full control over measurement and assure that everything fits precisely as it should. And you can’t forget about Sugandese, they will be indulgence incarnate and assure other have their fill of whatever may suit their taste. Now that only leaves one more, Bophades. What exactly will Bophades rule over?

Only one.

He says smoothly, rolling over his wrist to check his watch; eyeing the time before he spoke.

For the foreseeable future, what are your plans as a gym leader?

His hands set behind his back upon finishing his question, eyes focused solely on Katherine- awaiting whatever answer she decided to give.

Overanalyzation is a skill Kim remains proud of to this day, the skill coming in handy when it came to situations that were 1-on-1. So even as he spoke, he continued to observe, watching Katherine as she listened to his long winded explanation.

She had no tells besides the words she spoke, and even then, they were questions that anyone would have. To compare her to a traitor would be just the same as comparing a skeptical citizen to one. There is simply no hard evidence against such a claim.

But to remain unready would leave him defenseless, easy prey to those that would even consider lifting a hand against him.

Consider nothing trustworthy, Miss Fairburne. It’ll prepare you when the inevitable betrayal onsets.

He huffs, pushing off one response and onto the next.

Their goal is of no concern if it endangers the lives of those who are bystanders in its wake. Curiosity does not trump responsibility.

Though if you have any other questions or concerns I’ll do my best to answer them to what end I can supply one.

He easily continues, a roll of his head syncing with the start of his words as he began to speak.

A dictator would ensure complete control of the land which they rule. A dictator is freely able to control what does and what doesn’t get shown to others. A dictator chooses what alliances they want to make and what alliances they want to break simply based on their mood.

He does not break his words, the smoothness in which they come out comfortably etching into one another as he spoke in his collected tone.

A dictator is easily able to corrupt as well as control the corrupt for the betterment of their own selfish gain. A dictator proves they are in control by way of force. A dictator leaves no room for democracy nor say from the people they rule over.

Their strides unsync as he slows a bit before coming to a stop, eyes fully focused on Katherine as he expects the same from her towards him.

A dictator would show the world the good they’ve done and the joy they would bring to the table while sliding the injustices they commit under the rug.

What you’re shown during a despot’s presentation is exactly what they want you to see. A pretty lie to hide the ugly truth. And by capturing hearts, the unlearned become complacent to the breadth of their idol’s misdeeds; freely able to live in blissful ignorance or remain fearful with the little freedom they are allowed… And to those that speak out against them, a well earned death.

A breath escapes him, the councilman exhaling from his nose.

What I’m getting at is that by believing a despot’s words, you are falling into their trap. Of course you’re free to believe what you may, but do not remain blind to the facts that surround your beliefs.

Kim is quiet, allowing Maverick to stew in his own thoughts, an uncompromising look of impassiveness on his features as they continued forward.

It was only when Maverick came to a halt in his words that he spoke, the calm air surrounding him remaining stagnant until he began speaking, the ease of his words escaping akin to a breath of fresh air through an open window.

It’s the opposite in fact.” Kim states calmly, his features softening slightly as he continued. “I have the utmost respect for people who hold their tongue when they have nothing to say. While it would be easy to pick at your peers for their butting heads and acts rivaling a circus clowns, where such displays are an unneeded addition to leagues already crumbling infamy no less, it would be improper to do so.

A sigh escapes him, eyes rolling at no one in particular as a way of sorting himself out.

I digress. I’m not here to stoke any fires that have burned for longer than they should, but to snuff the embers that remain. And as such I would like for you to air out any concerns you have about our prior meeting. What’s on your mind, Mr. Maverick? Whatever it may be I will answer to the best of my ability.

Kim’s eyes adjust over to the man, quietly observing him as they furthered on

There is not one point in her answers in which he feels the need to interject, partially due to his opinion not mattering at the moment, but for the most part out of respect for the colleague he had requested an audience with to begin with.

The only time he even begins to speak is when he is confident that she has finished saying what she needs to, a slight huff of breath escaping his nose before he asks a simple question.

Are you aware of what a dictatorship entails?

His hand rest on his hips as the other hung to the side awaiting her follow up before he furthered on; a simple answer expected of a simple question.

Kim nods with every sentence she completes, mentally taking note of the surroundings as they pass them and waving to any ghost that happen to catch his eye as they pass.

Spooky” He thinks to himself as they continue, his head swiveling back to her when she decided to skip over further semantics.

I figured since I’m here I might as well come to a bit more of an understanding of your gym. The last time I visited was when your predecessor was active and there was an entirely different layout. I figured I’d make myself familiar with it before we got down to business.

A slight smile tugs at his lips, Kim speaking in a calm tone as the two of them furthered on.

There are a few things I’d like to talk to you about; a few questions that I have pertaining to you personally as well as your role as a leader.

He pauses for a brief moment, allowing his words to ferment before furthering on.

First and foremost I’d like your opinion on what occurred during the meeting. What are your thoughts on your peers words? Your thoughts on the council and commissioner’s words? Any reflection on your own words? And finally what is your take on the propaganda that was aired over the screens towards the end of our meeting?

His arms fold across his chest, eyes focused solely on her as he awaited her input.

Kim taps at his phone screen, quickly sending messages back and forth between contacts as he approaches Katherine- the councilman once more deciding to meet a gym leader in their own territory rather than one more personal.

Endlessly tapping away at the phone’s screen, Kim comes to a full stop once he finally nears the woman, giving a motion with his hands for her to give him a second before finally turning off his phone and setting it away.

Sorry, about that, I had to cancel another meeting and one of my assistants have been getting calls from the folks whose feathers I ruffled.

It wasn’t as important to his as this meeting- his priorities lying with the region and the people that plan to keep it safe rather than the people that can turn a profit from it.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in agreeing to meet me, Miss Fairburne. Would you kindly show me around your gym? Explain the tasks, the, rules, so on and so forth.

First and foremost I’d like to thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Mr. Ryder.

Had this been under different circumstances, Kim would be a little more hospitable, meeting the man somewhere more local, somewhere the two of them could sit and chat as if they were chums, catching up on the new and old. But the unfortunate truth of the matter is that Kim had been meeting Maverick on a more official note.

As such, the only place that Kim saw suitable for meeting was the leaders very own gym. Kim motioning for the two of them to walk about the facility as they spoke.

Do you know the reason that I asked to speak to you today?

There was no intimidation in his words. Kim was calm, cool, and collected, with a placid look on his face; the only betraying feature being a small smile that tugged at the corners of his lips.

Back at you, Ferny.

His tone is a bit lighthearted though a dreary sigh escaping betrays the ease of his voice.

Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. There’s a lot to be done if I plan to straighten out this region and I need to start planning for what we haven’t already encountered.

I’ll try to keep you and updated as I move forward. Take it easy, Fern.

The call is soon cut, Kim set in his office as the setting sun creeps down in the background.

I don’t ever recall coming to a proper conclusion on the topic of the aqua shit so I’m fine with scrapping the idea. But the fact that info about it’s been leaked is not a good look.

My lips are sealed but I’ll be trying to set up interviews with gym leaders in the coming weeks to get a feel for them. Now seems like as good a time as any to have 1-on-1’s with them all.

I’m sure you could come up with a few if you weren’t on the spot.

Kim chuckles, laughter soon falling short as he takes a breath.

But I appreciate you just as much, if not more. Thank you for sticking with me all these years, Fernando. It means more to me than you can imagine.

It was nice having someone stew in the same pot as you, a mutual camaraderie formed in the midst of heat and thawed baby carrots.

Let’s just do the best we can for whatever time that we have left, yea? As long as we’re still in these seats we’ll have a job to do.

And I dunno about you, but I plan on doing what I can before I take my happy ass out of the picture. I swear I’ll see to this region's peace before I relieve myself of any responsibility to it.
