Zephyr sighed as he stood out on the shore, his hand resting against the cool metal of the Steelgate Bridge, eyes cast outwards at the dark curtain of shadow that sliced it in half. A large part of him wanted to go out and stride beyond that darkness, to go back to his home and run his fingers along the stones that he had spent hours doing the same when he was younger while he was playing tag, but that would have required far more courage than he had. And it wasn't as if he wasn't brave, far from it, he was - or, well, had been - a police officer. He was just afraid of what he was going to find there. And that fear was enough to keep him from setting foot past that curtain, at least for the moment. He heard soft pawsteps behind him, and he turned his head slightly, seeing Thor padding up to his side the same way the little Pikachu always would when the Electric-type thought that his Trainer was acting strangely. "I'm okay, Thor," he murmured, crouching down to ruffle his Pokemon's ears. "Just a little homesick is all." "Pii," the electric mouse cooed in understanding, rubbing his head against his Trainer's hand. Zephyr laughed, a boisterous sound. "All right, all right, we can go get you some treats," he teased, offering his arm for the Pokemon to scamper up, which Thor took with delight, not wanting to have to run to keep up with the other's longer strides, "Though if we're not careful, you're going to end up a little chubby!" The Pikachu let out an indignant cry, sparking a little at that, and the man couldn't help but to laugh harder, amused with his Pokemon. Thor was too active to ever get chubby, but there wasn't any harm in some good-natured teasing, now was there?

Notes:

Obviously I can't write a decently lengthed starter to save my life orz *failure*

What was he even doing? That boy wanted to go out and catch more pokemon instead. But no Gale was walking towards the bridge instead. Whatever for he didn't even have a clue on that one. Not like he even knew what he entirely wanted. Gale was just odd on his own, his parents thought he was weird. For making his own choices. Leaving the hacking thing almost completely to follow Pokemon. Catching those guys, and then training them was really fun to him. Not that he entirely left his job behind, he just didn't work with his father anymore either. Why the heck would he. Even right now he didn't think much of this, it probably wouldn't help. He didn't care much about his home being lost. Really it wasn't much of a home to him. No matter what. He needed to focus on other things instead. Hopefully. Yet at the same time he had a feeling he might be clueless. Chewing on his bottom lip, he just glanced over the bridge. It wasn't like many other people would be out here, all he could hope was that he might be able to relax a little bit. Gale only shook his head reaching over to pet the pokemon that jumped up onto his shoulder. Smiling as it rubbed against his cheek. He wasn't all that bothered by things now. Leaning back against the bridge he just glanced down in the water. This was good for them, getting some time away from work. Yet Gale had a feeling someone else was here. Someone he didn't know entirely. He heard him talk and he just shook his head. "Homesick tch...those islands were boring anyway. You want to get it back work for it." That was all he said. Gale didn't care for going home. Not that he even knew they were basically from the same island either at this rate. He shook his head looking at them. What the heck was he thinking? Really being nice to Pokemon wasn't bad, yet he knew how he felt. Right now he'd rather just not deal with this because his father's wants were starting to infect him. In a wrong way he didn't openly enjoy anyway. He didn't get what it was about this person, or that pokemon. He just felt slightly annoyed with both of them at this point. Gale didn't handle other people very well but he'd just shut that off for now. Play it off as if he had another mask instead. Which might be a good thing for him either way.

Zephyr was still chuckling and playing around with Thor on his shoulder, tugging on the little Pikachu's ears and laughing when the electric mouse would let out a soft cry - not of pain, the Jolteon Pokemorph was careful to never pull that hard, he would never hurt his best friend like that, he was just making the Pokemon frustrated from trying to catch his hand - and squirm around trying to grab his hand with his paws and then sit on it. And then he heard the voice from behind him and he instinctively stiffened, the laughter dying in his throat. "Chuu..." Thor murmured softly, immediately recognizing the stiffness in his Trainer as emotion that was building. Losing the islands always was a touchy subject for the blond simply because he felt that he should've been able to save his home. The hand at Zephyr's side slowly curled into a fist, his jaw clenching as he fought back the anger that remark had elicited in him. Who the hell did this guy think he was, telling him that his home was boring and that if he wanted to get it back he had to work for it? Unable to stand it, he wheeled around on his heel, his blue eyes flashing and his skin sparking a little in his anger. "Boring? Boring? The islands were my home! I had sworn to serve and protect them with my very life! And what did I do? I tried as hard as I could, and then we get that damn command over the damn radio to abandon the island to the shadows, evacuate the island and flee! It was the hardest thing I had to do, turn my back on what I had to fight so that I could tell a little girl that she had to leave her home and come with us for a while until we could find her parents, and when she asked me if we were coming back, I had to lie and say yes!" His skin was crackling now in large sparks, his emotions running wild enough to fuel them going from a small current to slowly growing loops that had Thor quickly dropping down from his Trainer's shoulder, unable to handle the electricity in his small body. The blond was running high on emotion though, so he hadn't even noticed anything was amiss. "I turned in my fucking badge the next day because like hell am I going to have to lie like that to a child ever again! I am going to get it back one day and I know it, and then I'm not going to stop until the shadows are gone from everyone's homes so that no one has to look back and know that they don't have a home anymore!" His chest was heaving from the exertion, his bright blue eyes still boring daggers in the other before he felt a tug on his pant leg and looked down to see Thor cowering against the ground to avoid a large loop of electricity, looking up at him with sympathetic eyes. "Sorry Thor," he sighed softly, reining his electricity back inside himself so that he could pick up the Pikachu again. "Pii pikachu!" the electric mouse replied happily, nuzzling his Trainer's cheek, before turning to the other Trainer, puffing his own cheeks out. "Piiii," he growled out, almost as if he was about to make a charge at the other, but instead, he launched into a veritable tirade, complete with hand motions - or were they paw motions? - to scold the other for upsetting his Trainer. Zephyr felt bad enough about failing to protect the islands, so much so that he gave up the one thing that he had prided himself on more than anything, so who was this person to judge his Trainer for the choices he'd made? Snorting, the Pikachu crossed his paws and looked away. If that man was going to be mean to his Zephyr, then he didn't deserve to be around him!

Notes:

I think Gale touched a nerve, considering he got a tirade out of Zephyr. Which then set Thor off scolding him for upsetting Zeph. And now Zeph is spending the day alternating between flailing his arms inside of Tris' hold trying to get at Gale to give him another good piece of his mind or sulking over it. Gale, you are not getting laid tonight *slaughtered*

And I must've been wanting to RP badly if I managed to whip out 600 plus words so quickly this morning ._. *stares at self in shock*

The reactions he got from Zephyr were amusing. Gale pushed people for a reason even if it might be really bad instead. Yet he tried to just not think of that. They were from the same island, but he cared more for the pokemon on it then the people. Gale didn't care much for his parents, but other people who knew. He was such a closed book to those people around him anyway. To get the islands back people had to do something about it. They couldn't just stand there and hope the worlds would go back to normal. Nothing was ever that easy for anyone at this point. Gale knew that much. He yawned watching the boy's skin spark up. "That's what I wanted to see...That spark. You want your islands back remember the anger you feel towards losing them, and get them back." Gale only shrugged, he didn't seem bothered by this person. Even if they tried to spark him up. Not that it mattered. At this point he had other thoughts in mind. Things that were supposed to mean things, and actually go a certain way. Gale had his reasons for doing things. He didn't care much for anything else. He'd rather just get this over with, and figure out how to bring them back. Even if he didn't like the islands all that much. He didn't want to go back to his parents, Gale was only glad that the islands were gone for that reason alone. Zephyr probably didn't know much about him most people didn't. And he'd rather not deal with it, yet at the same time that was complicated. Once again he had that feeling he might be pushing something he shouldn't. Either way things had to be done. And Zephyr seemed to want to go back home. Why? That place wasn't exactly somewhere they could branch out. But he also understood that people liked being able to go home, to find a place they liked and wanted to be. Gale just didn't want to deal with his parents all over again that was all. He didn't hold anything against Zephyr or that pokemon with him. "That girl will recover enough when the islands come back.." He only sighed and shook his head, he'd rather lose his family then some child. Why did they have to escape? It was almost annoying to him, he loved his family minus his father. That man could just go die and never come back. Gale only watched the pokemon lecture him and shook his head a bit. Not knowing what to do by now. "Yea yea got it already. If he wants to bring the islands back, he needs to do it. Don't get me wrong I don't like the islands because of my family. But this isn't about me." He felt weird talking to a pokemon. Really the hell was he doing that for, as he just leaned back against the bridge he thought about things. Really Gale didn't care what Zephyr did he just had his reasons for not liking the islands anyway. He only shook his head and let his pokemon climb down off of his shoulder as it just looked around them.

Zephyr's eyes narrowed at the statement, but he kept himself from sparking up again at the comment. He had Thor back in his arms, and he'd rather not accidentally hurt the little electric mouse. "I want my home back, they're not my islands. They belong to everyone, people and Pokemon alike. Denying them the chance to have a place to live the way that they want to isn't fair," he retorted with a huff. He would have crossed his arms if he had been able to without cuckolding his Pikachu, so he instead had to settle for a firm glare with as much ice in it as he could muster - ordinarily he wasn't so good at that, but his time spent in the force had taught him how to put more fire in his gaze as well as take it out, and while he may have been rusty from the time since he'd last held his badge, he still should've been able to manage a good enough one to get his point across. "Of course she's going to recover. She's going to recover when I help the professors get her home and family back." He then softened a little, turning pensive as he stroked Thor's ears. "Of course, I'm not doing it because I want the credit or anything like that. I just... I swore that I would serve and protect the islands and those who called them home. I failed at that. The least I could do now to make up for it is to get my act together and help give everyone their home back." Thor, a mirror of his Trainer, crossed his arms when he was done with his lecture, glaring at the other. "Pii pikachu pii," he grumbled, closing his eyes and sticking his nose up in the air. Humans were absolute idiots sometimes. Pokemon weren't mean or cruel to each other - they didn't go about and start offending each other for no real good reason. They took care of each other and showed love for each other, or at least tolerance at any rate, and if someone didn't bother them first, they didn't usually try to cause problems for others. Now there were always exceptions, but for the most part, that held true. Deciding to ignore the other for now in favor of trying to cheer up his Trainer, preferably before he started feeling guilt for just being human, he pointed a paw down at the beach, ears flying up with enthusiasm. "Pii pikachu pii chu chu!" he cried, making his Trainer laugh softly. "All right, Thor, we can go spend some time on the beach," he chuckled, shaking his head. "Aren't you just the pushy one today, huh?" When the electric mouse turned to stick his tongue out at him, the Jolteon Pokemorph did the same, a playful reaction that he was fond of doing when he was alone, obviously ignoring the other male by this point. Turning his back on the chocolate-haired man and his Chikorita, the blond hopped down from one of the sides into the sand, letting Thor down from his arms so that he could unlace his boots and roll up his pants legs around the Pikachu's impatient tugging. "Calm down, Thor, jeez, I'll be ready when I'm ready and not a second more!" he scolded good-naturedly, then let out a loud yelp as the Pikachu managed to push him in just the right way to cause him to fall over and splay himself out in the sand. There was a nice long moment of silence, where the wide-eyed electric mouse stood there, tentatively reaching a paw out towards his Trainer, and then Zephyr's voice cut through the air again. "You have a five second head start, and you better run fast, because I am going to dunk you in the ocean for that." "Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Thor squealed, shooting off on all fours down the beach, and the blond couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he pushed himself back up to his feet, brushing himself off with his hands. He wasn't really mad at the other, not in the least, and both Trainer and Pokemon were well aware of that fact, but well... he needed a distraction from the asshole whose eyes he could feel boring into the back of his head, and if there was one thing that could distract him, it was a good chase with Thor.

Notes:

And I somehow get longer, wow. Whether I'm actually saying anything, however, is still up for debate

Meanwhile, Zeph is just like *ignoreignoreignore* when it comes to Gale. Try complimenting him when he's running, the results will be funny, I promise. *shot*
