(I feel embarrassed. This probably wasn't an appropriate subject to bring up after F just went through a bunch of relationship related issues that resulted in their sister walking out on them. I fall back to go see what Marsha is up to.)

(Benji, who walked over and has been quietly listening, chides Andy.)

Kid, you sure they want to even talk about it? Cause they might not want to, just sayin'. Don't get in people's personal business, okay?

If people want to keep business personal, they oughtta stop talking about personal business. Also, I'm most likely older than you, kid.

And I'm good to go, I think. (Benji says.) Ya think anyone will care if I morph durin' this whole thing?

Nah, I wouldn't think so Benji, as long as we've got the numbers, we'll take them out.

My apologies for what I'm about to say, but- why are you so uncertain about Mega Evolution?

I...I have my reasons... (Delilah says after spacing out for a moment.) I just haven't been comfortable with the whole concept...

(She is clearly trying to hide something.)

(Delilah sighs. She can't keep this a secret forever. She spills the beans.)

M-My mother had a Mega Stone. When I was little, I always dreamed of growing up to be a Garchomp and being able to use it. You wouldn't believe how happy I was once I finally evolved in to one, because I knew I would be able to use it now. But Mom told me "no, just because you're a Garchomp now doesn't mean you're already ready to use my Mega Stone. You have to learn how to use it."

(She pauses.)

I got mad. I thought she was holding it back from me because she didn't trust her sweet little girl. One day, she was running an errand and I was home alone. I was tempted to use her stone, so I got it off her dresser and tried to Mega Evolve.

(Tears appear in Delilah's eyes as she continues.) It was like a horrible nightmare. I could barely see anything except what looked like horrible monsters, my entire body hurt, and I couldn't control what I was doing. I wrecked the house, and then I didn't recognize my own mother when she came rushing back in to try to help me and...I attacked her. My mucked up mind thought she was another monster out to attack me and I attacked her like she was one. When I came to, I saw her lying there, and...and...

(Delilah drops to the ground and bursts into tears.)

She...s-she looked like an angry Ursaring had attacked her. I was horrified because I knew I had done that to her because, like a total moron I thought I could use a Mega Evolution. Mom lost the use of her legs and the ability to Mega Evolve or even fight and it was all my fault.

(Marsha, Benji, and I stand there in stunned silence. After a moment, I walk over and wrap my arms around the sobbing Garchomp.)

Andy went through a bit of a rollercoaster with her story. At first, when she talked about her mom and everything, he was sure it would end with the mom dead. When the story concluded, and the mother lived, on instinct, he replied, Phew. That's a relief.

Del...I had no idea this happened to you... (Marsha says, in a tone quieter than I ever thought I'd hear her talk in.) What happened next?

I threw the Mega Stone into the ocean the next day and swore I'd never Mega Evolve or otherwise hurt anyone again... (Delilah continues.) That's why I became a lifeguard, really. That's because I knew that was a job where I could help people instead of hurt them...

So why'd you get one again if you didn't want to Mega Evolve? (I ask her.)

I...I saw you and Marlon getting one and decided that maybe I could learn how to use it again so we could Mega Evolve together...I...I wanted to make you happy... (Delilah admits.)

(I slightly part my scarf and look at the carrier that holds my Mega Stone, and say to nobody particular.)

T-That's heartwarming...

(I think deeper, again to nobody in particular.)

I-I don't know how to feel now. I still want to try it, but I don't know if I could really control my actions while doing so...

(I'm touched that Delilah decided to try Mega Evolving again because I was interested in doing so, but still...)

Delilah...you didn't have to do this all just for me...you didn't have to get a Mega Stone just because I did. If I had known this I wouldn't have even suggested that you get one in the first place.

Well...it's too late now, I guess...

It ain't too late to return that stone of you don't actually want to go Mega, Del. (Marsha points out.)

(Delilah looks at me and back at the stone, thinking about what she should do. She takes the stone carrier off...but then puts it back on.)

Maybe...maybe I can learn how to use it...I can learn how to use it without crippling anyone else... (Delilah says.)

Whatever you decide to do, Del. (I say.)

(Delilah looks at the stone then back to me. She leans up and kisses me again. One stupid love-struck face later, I hug her back.)

Don't worry, Del, if you choose to do this, I'll have your back...we all will...

( Marsha and Benji join the hug, making it a group hug.)

I'm probably going to disappear for a bit starting some time Sunday. Not sure when I'll be back.

((continuing this))

*a shocked expression envelops Jani's face as her sandstorm fades. She quickly replaces it with a more determined expression as she retorts* Well that's new. The guy who trained me this morning told me only weather could cancel out weather. *she sighs and grins* But I guess it's to be expected huh? Maybe I can get some of the magic before going down...

*thinking of what to do next, she remembers the little trick she did to sneak away from her first encounter with Jillian, and she wordlessly digs underground, leaving a dirt clone behind her. More dirt clones rapidly pop up randomly around the arena, effectively creating the effect of Double Team*

QUITE THE DENIAL FROM PIXIE LUST! *Birch shouts, while Elm adds on* Indeed, Birch. Quite the unconventional way to clear the weather, but nothing this woman has done has been conventional. Let's see how she handles Wessel's latest attempt at misdirection.

*I gradually begin returning to consciousness, my vision slowly becoming clearer. All I can see is the lifeless grey ceiling above. I turn to my right and scan my surroundings. Seems they brought me to the triage after the match. I then look to my left, and-*

Cofagrigus: "Ah! Good to see you awake!"

PJ: "OH HOLY SHIT WHAT!"

*I'm taken aback by the sight of a Cofagrigus at my bedside, holding a very small roll of bandages in a shadowy hand. It doesn't take me long to regain my composure, however.*

PJ: "Oh, you're uh, a nurse, aren't you? Sorry about that."

Cofagrigus: "It's quite fine, I'm used to it. Not many people would exactly be comforted by the sight of a haunted coffin so close to them after they wake up."

PJ: "Right..."

*I look down and see that there are tiny bandages wrapped around my torso.*

PJ: "Damn, I uh... I went a bit overboard there, didn't I?"

   (Damn, did it feel good, though.)   

Cofagrigus: "I wasn't there to see the fight, but... Apparently you blew up one of your own Pollen Puffs on yourself?"

PJ: "Kamikaze attack, I knew I was gonna lose but I wanted to go down swinging."

Cofagrigus: "Right... we applied a special Rawst-Oran salve to your wounds, that should help your injuries recover quicker."

PJ: "Thanks. Say, what match is going on right now?"

Cofagrigus: "Pixie Lust vs the Nuclear-"

(Pixie Lust. Yep. That's her.)

PJ: "Okay, that's all I need to hear, I'm going."

*I sit up and take flight, my wings feeling a little harder to beat than usual.*

Cofagrigus: "Mr. Whirlwind, you may want to rest a little longer, you still haven't made a full recovery and-"

PJ: "I appreciate the sentiment, miss, but I can't miss this match."

*On that note, I take off for the stands, leaving the nurse behind.*


Belladonna: "Quaint little trick you'd got there. I suppose if you're going to do that, then I'll do this."

*Bella takes the hand she's charging her Gleam in and holds it before her face, making a fist with it. The energy quickly seeps from her hand into her body, the light slowly fading as it does. Filled with this new surge of power, she produces two dimly-glowing green orbs of energy in her hands and begins zipping around the arena elegantly, splitting the orbs into multiple smaller ones and throwing them at Jani's dirt clones.*


Yalta: "Hm... I've hardly seen anyone here try strengthening themselves like that during a match... If there's one thing that Bella's proven more than once, it's that she knows what she's doing."

Are you ready? Go live!
