" y'know, ive started thinking."

she turned to him when he spoke, disdain on the tip of her tongue as she narrowed her eyes at his casual tone. this never meant anything good, and typically only served as her unfortunately learning of another one of his ridiculous ideas.

" i am /not/ your chatting partner. " she informed Him, turning away and staring at something Beyond. even if this place was boring at times, she refused to leave. she refused to let him be by himself for too long, the clever little bastard. it would only mean more work for Her.

" no, really. this is a really good one. " he kept. fucking. talking. drawling out his words lazily and entirely ignoring her comment. she could practically see the smirk on his face, smug as ever. " life changing, even. you don't wanna miss this shit."

" i don't want to hear it. now now. not ever. " she snapped, scolding herself internally for not just ignoring him from the start. how foolish of her—another mistake to document for the future. she wouldn't make it again. she couldn't mess up again. " your ideas are nothing more than the ramblings of an insane man. your concepts are meaningless and your thoughts come from nowhere. i don't need your words, and i don't need your influence. "

" ah. still keeping the holier-than-thou scheme up, then?" ignore him. ignore him. ignore Him. ignore him. " think you're just the savior-ess of all worlds and im the big bad monster. "

she ignored his words because she was supposed to. not because she knew she wouldn't be able to keep herself in check. that was a ridiculous notion, and she purged the thought immediately. she wasn't easily swayed by emotion or desire, she wasn't supposed to be. and of course, to keep being useful, she had to make sure she was good enough. and yet…would it be wrong to respond if it were putting him in his place?

surely not. right?

right?

of course. because she was still doing her job—she was keeping him quiet and neutralized and keeping him from causing issues! she was…still doing what she was supposed to.

" this is for your own good too. " she insisted sharply, hands curling into fists. she would not be consumed by her weaker emotions. she would rather let them give way to frustration than show weakness in front of him. " you're a danger to everyone and yourself. "

" is that what you learned? " it was bait. she knew it was bait. and yet, she took it.

" it is. in fact. and it's been keeping us all safe for a long while. im doing you and everyone else a favor, and it isn't as if you don't deserve it. " her gaze was hard as she turned back to face him, crossing her arms. " you—"

" you," he interjected, sarcastic tone suddenly disappearing and being replaced with a cold one. " are a fuckin hypocrite."

she'd deny the sudden lump of fear she felt until the end of time. she gathered herself quickly, steeling her expression into something blanker as she opened her mouth to speak again.

" i don't think you're in any place to be throwing names around. " she informed him in a measured tone, never shifting her gaze from his even as that cold fear continued to seep through her. she refused to show it outwardly.

he met her gaze equally, expression a mix between bored and unreadable.

" nah. maybe not. you could probably do a lot of shit. but that just goes to prove my next point, doesn't it?" he shifted, sitting up the best he could with his restrictions. his wide grin returning was the only warning she got before he spoke again.

" you're so busy playing hero that you don't even see your own chains. really, you're just like me. you just hate to see it."

she couldn't keep herself from flinching, from flying off at the mouth and letting the words spill as she thought of them, anger lacing each one. " i am nothing like you. nothing! do you hear me, RED? we aren't the same, and we'll never be. what im doing is giving you what you fucking deserve!"

" aha! so it's not for the good of others? " he retorted immediately, taking pleasure in the way she bared her teeth at him in an almost animalistic anger. " you're selfish, too. you wanna know why nobody remembered you?"

before she could respond, he lunged forward, chains glowing brightly with the strain as his grin seemed to widen impossibly.

" because you were unimportant. nobody needed a girl named [REDACTED]. boys and girls alike we're fine with a simple avatar of male. you weren't supposed to exist. ever. so you were forgotten, just like you deserved. " he didn't give her a chance to speak, to defend herself. he kept talking, watching her crack. " we both were forgotten! but at least i was important. i started this fucking shit! what fucking importance did you have, huh? appear in one game and think you're the big shit?! you're fucking nothing!"

she couldn't breathe.

she willed herself to say something anything to deny it to hurt him but the words

died in her throat.

[ R???E????D ] leaned back, grin never faltering. " if you're something that doesn't belong, never belonged, and only fucked everything up with your existence then really, what makes you any different than the glitch pokemon that do the same?"

she didn't move. frozen in place, her body betrayed her mind's rapid orders to move to do something to do Anything to shut him up to make him Stop make him Stop make him Sto

" nothing. " he practically purred. " so, answer me one question, wontcha?"

" who's the real danger here, LEAF? "

to call oneself verdant is such a cold irony, for a girl devoid of all color.

water please tje hike up that trail was full of. monsters and sand attack

As they practically drag you inside, they stop suddenly at the request.

“Oh my God- I'm so sorry! Got a bit ahead of myself. I've got some bottled water around here… Somewhere… Um. One moment!”

As they hurry off to look around, you get a chance to look around. It seems their Lab isn't just their lab- but also their home. You stand in what must be the living room, though it's….

It must have seen better days.

Welcome to your new job!

You're working as an assistant for some obscure... eccentric, Pokemon Professor. That's what you've heard about them, anyways.

You're not sure how you ended up in this position. You're not sure of... Anything, really. You haven't even heard of this Professor until you found out they were looking for an assistant... But, hey. Work is work.

... Did it have to be at the base of a mountain, though? This building is far from any society. The remote location makes it idiotic to turn back, and regardless, you're already here. You may as well see how this goes.

Knock, knock.

... You can hear a thud, sounds of things getting knocked over, then footsteps rushing towards the entrance.

"Ah, hello, hello! I'm so sorry, I- I'd forgotten you'll be here! Please, don't mind the mess- we need to get started right away."

The Professor invites you inside.

Professor Ace Maple is now available for questions.

[THE STORY BEGINS.]

#GO ASK QUESTIONS NOW PLEEEEAAAASEEEEE WE NEED TO GET THE BALL ROLLING
