    Koa's heart soared as Drapion settled in, making herself comfortable. He gave a wave to Sybil as she left and made a mental note to try and visit her after this was all over. Whatever was going with the Relic Stone, he was incredibly curious to know more. Once she'd gone, Koa glanced up...

    A dreadful weight was beginning to settle over Koa, a knowledge that the moment he had been fearing was coming, and coming too quickly. She had a life, and she was wild, and he couldn't expect her to hang in a pokeball all the time, and he couldn't walk through town or work at the library with a...

    "Yeah I think so- Wait her?" He looked between Sybil, then Drapion. Huh. Maybe he'd been subconsciously been comparing Drapion to his starter. Supressing a laugh, he turned to gaze at her thoughtfully. Seeing her as a nomal Drapion, no longer enranged or constantly in pain, was both weird and...

    Koa reflexively braced in case Drapion attacked, but it never came. One moment he looked angered, the next he was calm. Relief, then elation rushed through Koa as he watched the shadows be drawn out of Drapion. A lump of pure emotion caught in his throat at the sight of Drapion healed. It...

    Koa nodded to Sybil in understanding, his heart racing in anticipation. Finally. Tempering himself from rushing haphahazardly, he picked up the Relic Stone again. "It's okay," he said as he approached Drapion. "This might hurt or feel weird, but trust me. You're strong enough to do it." He...

    "Relax, Drapion," he said confidently. "Thats Sybil. She's a friend and ally of mine. I think she can help you." By now, talking to Drapion had become normal to him. He'd done it back homewith his team all the time, and even if Drapion here couldn't understand every word, it felt... right. With...

    "Sybil..." He stared at her for a second, eyes wide. A shiver ran down his spine. Between her eyes and markings she looked almost like... Celebi? Not in form but those eyes he remembered from countless books and artistic depictions. Clearly it'd been too long since he'd seen her. Was the Relic...

    Threadmarks: Ch07: How to Train Your Drapion 2 [Koa & Drapion]

    The weight of the pokeball zipped safely inside Koa's jacket pocket felt so familiar. Nostalgic. Traveling here, he felt like a trainer again. Going on an adventure, a pokemon by his side... except in this case it wasn't a friendly purple bat, it was a terrifying purple scorpion. Who'd tried to...

    He smiled back at Archie. "Yeah, okay... I'll try," Koa said. "And thanks." It was nice to know there was someone else on the team he could truly trust... The secrets he carried back home didn't feel relevant here, but at least he could still trust Archie, with everything else. "Don't worry, I...

    "I don't..." he trailed off. Koa gazed at Archie, suddenly seeing him in a different light. He'd done so much, suffered so much, but was trying to do something good anyway. He was trying to make amends. He'd done it. "You're here though. And maybe you did something you're not proud of but...

    Not our fault. He had to believe Archie. Koa studied his paws as he tried to consider Archie's words. The urge to leave was strong, but the Oshawott was right. Koa had told Odette he wanted to control it and use it. He had to do this. Why was he angry? All the problems back home felt like they...

    "..." Koa gazed at Archie. His mind stalled. An event from his past? Nothing he was angry about recently. Nothing that mattered here. He'd fought with Blake awhile ago, but that was hardly new. "I'm... Not sure. Nothing that I'm mad about still..." What... Sure there was things back home he...

    For a moment, he wished he had explained it all to Archie. Maybe Archie could fix it... but the memory of what Wes said felt too much. Wes would never. "It's okay, I'm glad you care... But not everything can be fixed," he said softly. He shook his head, trying to focus on something else. The...

    Koa held back a disbelieving snort. "I don't know how else to interpret 'you'll never be a hero' and 'stop making a mess of things' and 'oh you're a great fit for an evil gang'," he muttered under his breath. The words knotted in his chest as he remembered them. The lump in his throat grew as...

    Was Archie backing away because he thought Koa would hurt him? His thoughts swirled. Why couldn't Archie drop it? Koa didn't want to think about Wes, he didn't, he couldn't be friends with him , and Wes hated him. Koa paced again. What was so complicated about that? Did Archie have no idea? Why...

    Koa stared at Archie in shock and disbelief. A myriad of emotions flooded over him, too many, too many even begin to figure out, too much to think about. Archie's last quest barely registered. "Don't apologize!" he said, shaking his head, more frustration leaking into his voice than he meant...

    Koa's countenance shifted. His jaws twitched in annoyance and he scowled, backing up from Archie a couple steps and shaking his head. "No," he snapped icily. His chest tightened. Wes's words echoed in his head. Failure. Screwup. You'll fit right in with them. Maybe Archie could stand that self...

    "Thank you," he said quietly. A weight settled on Koa's heart. For a moment, he felt a proper sense of fear of what he'd asked, and what Archie had just asked of him. Of what was happening, and the risk of it all. No sense dwelling on it. "I will," he said firmly. "I'll find a way to bring you...

    "From what Mhynt said, maybe not. He could have already done it. The only real way to know would be finding a way to cure it, or some kind of... aura reader? But if this Purifying Spirit can heal us, maybe we'll be okay. We'll beat this." Maybe if he said it enough he'd believe it. An...

    Koa decided not to point out that it was true, it was his fault. "Mhynt said he can do it with a touch." Koa's gut churned. They should warn the others, but he had no idea how to explain that on top of everything else that had happened. The way they would look at him... "We can tell the others...
