Echo's attack cut Koa to his core. Physically it only stung, but the attack made it clear - This was real. Real enough to hurt, at least. A pit formed inside his stomach and he stepped back, staring at Echo pleadingly. This couldn't be the real Echo, he couldn't believe that. Unless it was and...

Koa swayed on his feet, sounds fading, distant roars and cries of something. His vision blurred at the edges and seemed to narrow. He could feel his heartbeat, he was aware of his body, stiff and heavy as lead. All he could see was the hazy figure before him, flanked by a Crobat. His Crobat. His...

This wasn't right. He'd just been in the storm and everything went wrong. Brisa had fallen - oh by Ho-Oh where was she? and now he was here. In this building that didn't make any sense. Had he been rbought here? And what about Echo? He'd heard his starters cries of pain just before they fell-...

Koa glided in, carried by Echo, who was particularly serious. Determination was painted across the dark Crobats face. His eyes widened as he took in the sight. Dread filled him, mixed with surprise and a bit of wonder. "Huh." Was all he could think to say. Was this even the weirdest thing...

Koa listened with awe as Sword and Shield discussed their new forms and Diyem and Maple bickered. He couldn't help but be reminded slightly of his own cousin, who often felt like a brother. He also couldn't help but feel annoyed. He'd kept a secret because it had been incredibly risky to tell...

I am doing this! obv Sinnoh Journeyfic, and heck, I'm down to do 'em all I don't mind starting for any, I just naturally don't want to end up with two obligations the same week. I don't think I have any blacked out areas of my schedule, so I'm good to go.

Koa nodded in response, though he couldn't muster much conviction behind it. Maybe she believed it but... what if she was wrong? "I hope you're right," he said quietly. She's lying. You'll never get better. "I mean... I guess the only thing we can do is try. That's what Brisa always says," he...

Mew and Lugia? His heart beat a little faster. What would it feel like to ride on Lugia's back? Or to be partnered with Mew? He couldn't even begin to imagine being partnered with such powerful legends. "That's crazy," he said, the slightest hint of jealousy in his tone. Though by the sounds of...

"I'm fine," he grumbled, though he'd made no effort to really pull away from her. The touch was almost comforting. "I know it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm trying to ignore it but the thought is always there, you know?" he murmured somberly. He wanted to believe Starr was right. And there were...

"Right, because I'm sure your dad and everyone else in Team Rocket would throw you big going away party with cake and a severance check," he retorted. He sighed. "I'm not gonna say that the things you did were good but... It doesn't seem like you would do them if circumstances were different."...

Koa shrank back slightly. Maybe he shouldn't have compared himself to her. The things he'd seen.... it sounded like they were nothing compared to what she experienced. Perhaps this was a mistake, thinking he understood her. "N-no... no it's not like that," he mumbled. "Galactic was stopped when...

Koa stared back at Starr's shadow, his gaze unflinching. "And what about you?" he snapped. "Having a piece of scum for a father isn't your fault either. Would you have joined Team Rocket if he wasn't your dad?" She wouldn't, he was sure of it. Starr had shown she was good. She wasn't like...

An odd sort of shock passed through Koa, followed immediately byt some other emotion he couldn't process. Koa stared at her for a long moment, his mind only fixated on one sentence she'd spoken. It played in his head on repeat. Giovanni. Boss Giovanni. Her dad. Leader of a criminal...

"Oh." Koa just stared at her, a sense of detached shock flooding his brain. For a long minute he didn't say anything, his brain trying to process what her shadow had said. A part of him thought he should be angry, horrified. And maybe he was. But some rational, problem solving side of him...

Starr's cold tone made him pause for a moment. There was something to it, something other than just the tone of someone angry. He couldn't really put his paw on it, but it sounded more somehow. And then the second Incineroar appeared. One moment there was nothing, the next he saw it there...

Koa frowned. Should he leave? She seemed annoyed, yet... she hadn't left herself, and she hadn't told him to leave. Some part of him felt... curious. He wanted to know her better, understand her. After all, she was Brisa's friend, and that made him want to be friends with her. Brisa cared...

Koa stepped in and sat down on the bench. Why did she think something was eating him? This had nothing to do with him. He was doing fine. "Eating me?" he shook his head. "No. I'm fine, I just came here to check on you honestly." Her words still hung in his head. What had she really done...

"You don't have to," Koa said. "I ... I know you probably don't want to. He hadn't wanted to. And in her eyes she'd probably gone much further than him, done much worse. He still remembered the shame he'd felt, the guilt, how much he'd hated himself, how he avoided everyone because he didn't...

Koa took a deep breath. No more small talk. He hated small talk. Better to just say it. "Actually, I came looking for you." Her words when she'd been corrupted flashed through his mind. Clearly there was more to her story than he understood. But the things she'd said. The way she seemed to...
