As Starr's shadow spoke, the other shadow seemed to waver more, its shape flickering. Despite the anger it seemed to still project, there was fear beneath it too. "I can't... Let him forget. I don't want to forget." Koa cringed uncomfortably at the words.

A pit yanwed inside Koa as he realized what the shadow had said. What he had said. What was he doing? "Starr I'm sorry-" he felt like shrinking into the couch. He probably sounded like an idiot. The shadow scowled. "It's... what I have to do." For the first time its voice wavered slightly.

"I don't. I won't." Despite his anger, his voice sounded almost desperate to himself. He dragged his furious gaze away from his shadow and back to Starr. "I only believed in my da- him back then. Before I knew." For some reason he felt like he needed Starr to understand that, to know he wasn't...

"I won't," Koa snarled, rising up slightly, gaze locked on his shadow. He had a brief vision in his head of springing upon it, tearing it up- "Really? You worshipped him. You agreed with him. You thought he was right, that he could make the world a better place. Given half the chance you would...

The shadow bristled. Its gaze narrowed, annoyance showing on its expression, though only subtly. She'd cut a nerve, more than it wanted to admit. "It's what he needs. I'm keeping him from making the same mistakes. From becoming something horrible. From turning out like him." The shadow spat out...

Koa's whole body remained rigid as he stared at the shadow, caught between anger and and inkling of fear. Why now? Why here, with Starr? He was supposed to be past all this. Why wouldn't it just leave- The shadow glared back at her, his demeanor seemingly disaffected. When it spoke, a strange...

The comment made Koa snort. Starr beating the stuffing out of that thing sound pretty appealing... His eyes widened at the unexpected sight of Starr's shadow, kneeling in front of his own. Its eyes flickered as it regarded Starr, its expression seeingly unchanged. Yet there almost seemed to be...

Koa kept shaking his head. It didn't make enough sense. "But all it does is make stupid comments-" "All I do is say what's true." Grim horror filled Koa as he realized the voice no longer came from in his head, but from right next to him. Gold eyes, cold and detached as metal, met his own. His...

Koa drew back slightly, chest suddenly tightening. "Wh-what?" He shook his head. "No, I don't think... that doesn't sound right. It doesn't make any sense." He didn't hate himself or anything. "Maybe I'll just hold out, you know? We'll be gone soon anyway," he said, forcing a lightness into his...

"Tell that to him!" Koa growled. "I tried easing up or whatever." In a mocking tone, he continued. "Stop being perfect, talk about stuff more, stop thinking of myself as some kind of monster, accept that my dad was a deranged lunatic, and that I'm his son-" Sucking in a sharp breath, Koa rolled...

"Exactly. I thought that was it. I mean, I know I can't be perfect and I'll make mistakes and stuff, and I have accepted that but-" He gave a vague shrug. "I saw it briefly, fighting Giratina. I thought maybe that was it. I can't change... well you know how it is. You can't change where you...

"I thought I knew," Koa said with a sigh. "I thought I just needed to I dunno..." he rolled his eyes "stop expecting myself to be perfect. But I still hear it, sometimes. In the back of my mind, always making some stupid comment." Always trying to tear at him. He wasn't sure anyone else even...

Koa bristled at the familiarity. "That's just it though. Why don't they go away then," he muttered bitterly. "I thought I was..." he exhaled forcefully. "I thought I was good with mine after ... that whole storm craziness. It was quiet or whatever." You can't ignore me that easily. He dug...

Koa groaned. That's what everyone had said, and kept saying. "I know but-" His mind fumbled for words. "The truth... its..." What? Maybe he was just searching for an excuse. Shadows didn't lie. Maybe it was just that simple. All the things in his head were just... true after all. But he...

Koa nodded vehemently in agreement before falling silent for a few moments. He swore he kept seeing something flickering at the edge of his vision, but he pointedly ignored it. The silence began to stretch before Koa spoke again. "You don't think there's much truth to them right?" he tried to...

Koa groaned and nodded in agreement. Starr got it. "Yeah." he wrinkled his nose. "Won't catch me chatting with mine." He hated even thinking about his shadow. He still remembered seeing it, in the midst of that storm, and then again on the moon. Taunting him and egging him on... Never shutting...

"Won't miss that," Koa agreed fervently. "Kinda sick of it all." Liar. "Some crazy voice in the back of your head, always commenting on something." He rolled his eyes.

Finally. Soon he'd be back, back to normal, back to just being a trainer, and this whole thing would be... forgotten. Which was fine, perhaps. Something flickered in the corner of Koa's vision and he frowned slightly. That wasn't what he thought it was, was it? "Hey, if you could take those...

"My team," Koa replied without hesitation. "I can't wait to see the other Echo, and Hazard, and everyone else. And my friend Kitto. He taught me so much about fighting." He briefly wondered if that had anything to do with him channeling fighting abilities here... "Will you be okay? Some of the...
