The awkward silence took up the space of an entire fifth person in the room. It walked in the moment she seemingly dropped the subject.

Try as he might to rationalize just coming clean, he couldn't let it out.

Luckily, Gan's libido provided him an escape rope to avoid this conversation and also time to begin working his way out of the enclosing walls or otherwise time to make peace said walls before they crushed him on all sides.

He was out the door with but a flicker of contemplation in his eyes and no matter how far he walked, he could feel her eyes at his back.

DAWN OF THE DARKEST DAY

POSTED ON Jun 11, 2022 5:45:01 GMT

Hideo Kino, jayden cross, and 3 more like this

Y I E L D S

The fact that he was hearing his own voice talk to him separate from his thoughts was unnerving enough to stick to the forefront of his mind. Aside from the brain power it took up process something so eerie; he knew a riddle when he heard one.

Darkness didn't yield anything but pain. Whether the pain of your loved ones having to move on after your death, or even the pain hitting your shin against the edge of the coffee table because you were walking around the cabin with the lights off so you didn't disturb the twins sleeping.

Pain was the only thing darkness yielded, that and mushrooms.

Though in the presence of darkness light could be born, and they were sure as shit lacking for it out here. The arcing pops of light particles from his wrist not withstanding.

a charm mysteriously tied to mesprit; a symbol embroidered on its surface

In the wake of his pledged water and fire bomb he saw the ground adorned symbolism he couldn't understand. He only knew to get off of it as soon as possible, being reminded of the portal room that jumped himself and the others into water world.

Go figure finally making to Locke brought him right onto this alchemy circle or whatever it was and his charm was more triggered than ever; but by Locke's charm, or by the markings at their feet?

He would have liked to have laid into the other charm-bearer for keeping him out the loop but things were happening so fast he took what answers he was given in the here and now.

He wasn't even given the time to gawk at Xerneas in the flesh and so close by, ". . . ." he sized up the human working with it but ultimately had to leave the moment be.

With swift hands he replaced Pignite with Coalossal and after a SCALD from Simipour to help it along, it was left as the only 'mon of his in the field.

()

Holding its arm and finding footing on its black feet Sénon hid himself from the falling DARK SPORES using his pokémon as cover, with any luck its revved up STEAM ENGINE would destroy any spores falling down unto it and light up the area at least a little.

With souped-up speed from the water move the Fire/Rock type shot swift back to the circular marking furthest from the tree putting Sénon in place. Cait would kill him if he died out here but he trusted in Jamison's instincts enough to give this a shot, emotions aside about not being with his family in this literal dark hour.

the future is lost.
your choice doesn’t matter.
there is no correct one.

Shutting the words out of his mind he held tight in his decision to support Jamison's idea. "Watch the drip." He prefaced the pokémon guarding him, both of them on alert.

The last thing he needed was molten rock falling on his head. Scanning the darkness beyond, he tried to make out other allies and objects moving about in the darkness.

He opened his mouth for a second but nothing came out.

That's how it was to be checkmated before you had a strategy in place. Sénon was more of a contingency kind of guy. Knowing him as well she as did now, that was probably what had her so keen to express her concerns.

". . . ." He rubbed at the spot which housed the once-wound that made him comatose for a weeks of their pregnancy.

He closed his eyes and had a seat on the couch to give her words their due.

The fact that wasn't saying anything meant at the least he was processing her words with a deeper empathy for his family than he already had.

In the silence he pondered if she truly knew just how deep he was into the unnecessary risks.

Even if she could see the bulbs and the buds, he'd been keeping the roots from her for sometime now.

TOURNAMENT MATCH 1K [P-1]

POSTED ON Jun 8, 2022 14:30:57 GMT

SPIRAL, John Sullivan, and 2 more like this

The beauty and bane of Hoenn's tournaments were that they brought together all kinds. Friend/Foe, Husband/Wife, Mentor/Student.

First Hideo Kino caught his attention, a special child with a special grasp for pokémon. He'd thought to push the boy towards some limelight as a standout trainer in Hoenn, but Cait thought better of it. His childhood should be his own, not the League's. So, he left well enough alone.

He had similar eyes on John Sullivan ; he was older, rougher but he was homegrown Viridian, and his potential was raw. He aimed to recruit the youngster into the Rangers but you couldn't teach old dogs new tricks and the Kanto refugees all grew up faster than they should have. His life was the soldier's life, and there was no steering him away from it.

Both of them took their own paths and to this day, they were stronger for it.

Xander Belmont was a different case. Xander was the one who accepted his mentor-ship, looked to him for growth, thought higher of him.

With his arms crossed Sénon stared down the other redhead and his Duramaka. From any perspective that wasn't his own it might have seemed like animosity, or something at least standoffish but the truth of it was,

-he couldn't have been more proud of the Belmont.

Xander found his place in the region, he planted his feet and became a immovable fixture in the region, a human volcano. It was just as Sénon told him it could be. One step at a time, he walked away from stagnation.

Now he was a Gym Leader, and one of the Ranger's Elite.

No thanks to Sénon. His tutelage had been far more hands-off than he intended, so much so Xander found a mentor elsewhere.

He was happy Xander Belmont rose to all occasions and found a purpose for his fire even without Sénon to stoke and temper it.

But the Head Ranger gave his word that he would, and Xander succeeding without him didn't let him off the hook for his failures or shortcomings.

Looking at the guy now just made him hot and annoyed.

The smoldering stare he donned to watch the fighting stage wasn't contempt and heat for Xander, it was for himself.
However, Sénon wasn't the one fighting, Dosé was. (

)

Dosé didn't begrudge himself for his failures, and Dosé didn't get hot.

Dosé only got busy.

At the moment of the announcer's start of the match, the croagunk free-styled the battle for itself, as Sénon promised he could.

Ranger Dex entry; Croagunk. A poison wielder with a dastardly personality. It rarely fights fairly, but that is strictly to ensure survival. Despite such qualities, it is a well known mascot and afforded a measure of popularity worldwide due to its peculiar cry and comical features.

K.O. ROUND

Slipping past the larger pokémon, Dosé sought to claim his victory straight away, with an attempt to shut down the fire-type's organs with a precisely placed POISON JAB.

Dosé used POISON JAB!

● torpor points: 151

● notes: @grandprix [1K]

POISON JAB; The user receives +20 to every column

Opponent takes double torpor damage if no one is knocked out.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, grab a growlithe by its toe.

He couldn't say a serious talk about his work didn't make him feel cagey while his 2nd oldest and 1st horniest pokémon was on the loose, cause it did.

"Hnnnn." On the inside his disposition would have made him squint at her in apprehension of whatever they were about to get into.

He treaded the water lightly keeping his apprehension and his facial contortions to himself so that Cait might speak her peace.

He didn't ask her to start, he merely stopped what he was doing and gave her his full attention.

At the snap of Cait's fingers Sénon was willed into the tractor beams his fiance called eyes.

Even in the cross-hairs of those triangulated iris' he maintained Gameface.

That was until a gentle knocking befell the cabin door.

It should have struck Sénon as unprecedented; they didn't get any unexpected visitors. The pokémon largely wouldn't allow for it.

Instead his long deliberate swallowing of the mouthful on his tongue exposed his deliberate hiding of something. He was like a dog trying to bury his bone in secret.

He blurted out, "I'll get it." rolling off the bed after handing Enca to Drowzee making way to the door at a brisk pace.

Opening the door there were murmurs of words spoken to the man of the house, "Is she here? Are we too late?" to which he promptly responded. "Noo... no. We- we don't, we don't want any." to which he followed up curtly at the furrowed eyebrows staring him down, "Go away." then he tried to close the door.

In the short silence that followed there was the distinct sound of a landed blow and a muffled groan of pain from Sénon, as if he was holding his face.

(

) Chimchar scurried around the body of its master, its trainer, its protector, teacher, father.

Its eyes soft and its brows furrowed in concern; it knew what blood was and it knew humans bleeding was often more dire than pokémon bleeding.

On his back Sénon fought off the burning inside his chest.

Or at least he tried to.

Once the seizing coughs stopped he pooled the blood in his mouth to a corner of his mouth to drain from its corner, the hyper-red saliva trailed down his cheek and finally he could rest. He gripped the end of the lasso with a pride he was too tried to convey.

"Got'cha."
He thought it to himself, but no words came out.

On his back Sénon fought off the stimuli of Chimchars sad hooting and Infernape cold limp and warmed gaze. He could see Heatran still resting on the ceiling and he could see Laurs talking to him.

Or was he just mouthing out words silently? It was hard to tell given the sudden silence. If he could just close his eyes for a moment,

He arrived to the chaos later than most, anyone who wasn't already here wasn't coming.

Letting his senses feast on the severity of the circumstances unfolding around him. From Sinister Spores to Impaling Branches and pokémon dying left and right. It was made clear quite quickly most shouldn't have come, maybe no one should have come here.

Those who had the responsibility to protect the region, didn't have much a choice.

Who more so than the men and women sworn to the Rangers. Hoenn wasn't his home but he swore to stand against its threats all the same.

As Head Ranger his shield was to cover four aspects of the region above all; the People, the Places, the Pokémon, the Paperwork.

It was his job to stand in defense of all of it.

Unlike the last calamity to that fell upon the Rangers he wasn't halfway in the grave and all the way in a hospital bed.

Laurs and the Frozen Fowl weren't here, so this time it was on him. Besides that, the charm on his wrist was affirmation enough he was supposed to be here.

Following its wild rattle it lead him to Locke Jamison quickly enough, the memory of whom became less clouded and more distinct as he neared. "Jamison!" He didn't consider it a good sign the kid was so close to the Sootopolis Space Tree, considering all the death happening with it at the epicenter.

Turning to his Pignite and Simipour both seemed out of their comfort zones, but ready to help.

() ()

Pointing in the direction of a relative clearing, "Do it, both of you; PLEDGE!" Squaring off from one another, each pokemon mirrored the other ultimately combining moves to make a new result.

He could only sublimate his anxiety over leaving his family practically defenseless without him by leaving the best pokemon he had to protect them in the case that he didn't come back.

Fuck that; in case things got crazy before he came back.

With all the cards on the table tonight, himself and his pokémon would have to make the best of the hands they were dealt.

On the evening of May 31st, 2022 every listed Ranger's communication device from Cellular Phone to Pokédex to Xtranceiver would ping an active (!) priority notification.

Along with the ping, GPS tags to an allotted time; 04:09AM; June 1st, 2022.

This encrypted transmission contains a prerecorded message.

"Attention; this is Head Ranger Game.

All Hoenn League Rangers are to cease active duties and report to Fortree City, two hours before daybreak.

That's Zero Four-Hundred Nine hours.

The following Rangers are exempt from the mandatory nature of this summons;

Belmont, Xander. Dragomir, Josh. Lykos, Orion. Maher, Boruta. Yamamura, Izumi.

An accompanying Ice-type pokémon; also mandatory. No Excuses; No Demotions.

Game, out."

It took every shred of focus he could muster. Every pound of tenacity he could generate between his clenched teeth.

His lingering temple injury was going wild, the brain next to it swirled with light-headed disorientation. The new formed tears froze just out of the ducts.

It took everything he had, to get his hand back to his badge.

When he had it, he didn't have to fight anymore. He didn't have to struggle, he could just rest.
In the wake Articuno's flightless-ness, small feet-paws (

) walked its wingspan; a rope of flexible carbons and durable polymers thrown just barely accurately, around its grounded neck.

Visually tracing the tensile'd tool back to its source, the wine-y fur of a shiny Chimchar held strong, placing the starting end of the Ranger's Lasso, in the ranger's cold immobile hand.

Ranger Game, turning onto his back with the control of a toddler, tried to inhale deep in relief. Only for his lungs to reject the inward pressure and convulse, sending blood out with a forceful series of coughs.
