The door opened weakly, gliding along the clean floor effortlessly, as it welcomed its master into the compound. "I'm home," Kishon yelled out, to no one in particular; the greeting had become one of habit now. He wasn't surprised that a reply couldn't be heard. After all, no one was supposed to be home. He sighed as he trudged to his room, and heaved his bag onto the bed, which felt relatively lighter despite missing only a few notes, before immediately snapping out the two Pokéballs from under his belt, releasing a tall Gabite and a petite Cerine into his small room; it was a wonder such a pathetic room could still fit all of them without overflowing.

The Gabite had multiple bruises from the battle that morning. For him to take a Seismic Toss and still be able to stand after that was amazing in its own right; his Pokémon had never failed him. The Gabite had begun to tip over in fatigue when both Kishon and the Ralts assisted him back up. "Careful there, Gair," he whispered, in slight distress, as he helped the wounded Gabite to the bed, where the trio sat down. "Cer, would you?" Kishon notioned to his Ralts, who responded with a quiet salute, hopped up to the Gabite's wounds, and closed her eyes as her horn shone with a soft aura. Soon enough, leaves began to sweep in from the nearby open window, and covered the Gabite's body with it.

Meanwhile, Kishon merely patted Gairbith on his head, and with a soft smile, assured him, "You did good, Gair. Don't worry." The Gabite looked on in both disappointment and assuredness; he had failed his master, but yet, that gave him a greater drive to prove him wrong. He replied with a weak cry, to which Kishon smirked.

These two Pokémon had accompanied him since he had started school at Lanseal Academy, and they already were his closest friends. They had led relatively quiet lives, avoiding all the cliques and groups of students at school, for reasons he didn't really like to think about. But they'd always needed each other, anyway. A boy, a Gible, and a Ralts. An unlikely trio, but that always worked out, in the end.

Cerine's horn's aura began to dwindle, and that's when the leaves themselves began to flutter away, feebly, in the wind. Gairbith leapt up to his feet, a ferocious bloodlust finally returning to his eyes; however, this disappeared with a stern glare from Kishon. "Good job, Cer."

The two Pokémon smiled at each other and leapt up in joy. They were once again ready for another session.

However, Kishon had lost himself deep in his own thoughts.

That moron.

That Castform would be easy enough to beat in a single trainer double battle. Ugh, no! I shouldn't be thinking that way…Surely, her other Pokémon would've easily backed her Castform up…

But such a cheap tactic; I should've seen through it. That moron! If he hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself in front of the class…No matter.

Benry and Romeo.

What utterly useless distractions.

You're my next target.

He found himself being shaken awake by both a concerned Gairbith and a worried Cerine. "Ruuu?" Cerine shyly chirped.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry, Gairbith. We shouldn't have lost that match. Can we practise some more?" Kishon asked as he shook himself awake.

"Gaaaar!" "Ruu!" were his replies.

Kishon smirked at the enthusiastic response. His Pokémon were always hardworking, and never, ever let him down. "Okay, guys. Our agenda for today. Gair, you've gotta perfect Outrage, and Cer, Shadow Ball. Then, after that, let's rest up and gather more info about Azelf."

This itinerary was met with firm salutes by both Pokémon, after which, Kishon grabbed his bag, ran out the door with his two friends beside him, and locked the door behind him. "Let's go, guys!"
