Hunter was dressed rather casually for what she was doing. High waisted jeans, a tank top, and a black leather coat seemed to leave her looking stormy enough for people to leave her alone. It had just rained, the sun breaching the clouds finally after the downpour the small town had experienced. Perse was faithfully at her side, the small poochyena making small growls at anyone who tried to approach.
Feeling too stormy to reprimand her, Hunter made her way through the town and toward the ruins. Previously when she'd met Liam she registered him in her comm system, for future contact and to keep up with him. So far it'd been especially useful, and she'd honestly call him over the stupidest thing and send him pictures of pokemon she met on her journeys.
But now it was something more serious. For being a scout, she was mostly there to help pokemon and left helping people to the others. But what she'd seen....
Liam was on a wanted list, for a series of crimes she couldn't really believe he'd committed. Honestly. Attempted murder and attack of a civilian? He was too sweet for that, too kind. Her head was in turmoil and as she approached the ruins she screamed, unable to focus her confusion and frustration in any other way. Holding her head she took in deep breaths, awaiting for him to show up.
After all, she'd called him and told him it was an emergency that they should meet.
friendships were scarce so he truly appreciated the one he had with hunter. so far it had been fine, or a little bit more than fine, wonderful almost; the random calls, the texts, it was a nice balance to his otherwise unstable life. an unlikely friendship blossomed from an odd encounter and he was glad he met her. though all things come to an end, he of all people knew this.
the random call to ask him to the solaceon ruins was unexpected to say the least, but her voice sounded worried and concerned so he dropped whatever he was doing to go. the thought that she might have found out about him did pop into his head but he thought she was in trouble.
with the help of his aerodactyl it didn't take too long to arrive at the ruins. the journey was horrendous, the dinosaur was not made for carrying passengers not to mention the downpour on the way. so when he arrived he was soaking wet, the claws of the dinosaur leeching into the ground as it made its landing.
a quick shot of red and the dinosaur was now recalled. he'd rush over to wherever hunter was. "are you okay?" he asked, voice carrying genuine concern and panic. "what's wrong?"

She heard the pokemon before she saw him. She was grabbing at her hair, chest heaving, but she had to calm down. Had to think through this rationally. As the Aerodactyl landed she took in a deep breath, shoulders falling. Persephone growled at the other pokemon before it was returned, feeling fiercely protective of her trainer, as this seemed to be the person who upset her.
"Liam. Liam I trusted you I thought we were friends how could you lie to me like that?"
Tears were in her eyes, she was clearly very upset. She thought of a million different ways to try and make this work, because he couldn't be wanted. He couldn't be the attempted murderer they were claiming he was. Her chest started to heave as she started to yell desperately, trying hard not to cry as the feeling of betrayal turned her stomach.
"You can't be the man they say you are! You're too sweet Liam!"
and then suddenly his heart sank into his stomach, now tossing and turning as he listened. "we are friends," he tried to interject. just the mere sight of her crying and in this condition made him feel uneasy, his own eyes started to water too but a few blinks put them at bay for now. he cleared his throat.
"i'm sorry for lying." he felt a lump starting to build in his throat. he was at a lost to what to say; should he lie more? or just tell her the truth? he wasn't sure if she could handle it. a hand went up to wipe his wet hair to the side, sighing as he spoke again.
"i-it's true."
eyes would look away from her and onto the ground, noticing the poochyena that stood next to her. even if it decided to attack he wouldn't mind, a part of him felt like that was what he deserved.

Objective speaking - she should do something. Anything really, to bring the criminal in. But she looked at Liam, who seemed so sad and lonely in that moment. She still had the cast on her hand, the bones hadn't healed thoroughly yet, and he'd been the only one to actually sign her cast. Everyone else had been too busy, and Hunter too nervous to ask anyone. This was Liam though, sweet careful Liam who had showed her scar for scar.
"H-ha...haha...funny joke Liam, but seriously. It's.....it's ok that you're Galactic, that's fine. We can still be friends! You still want to be friends right Liam? .......Liam?"
She'd whisper his name in desperation, tears dripping down her face. She refused to believe him, and approached him slowly. Persephone would become very upset about these actions, pacing around and snapping her jaws at nothing. She gave several critical looks toward Liam before approaching behind her trainer, carefully sniffing around Liam's ankles. Should he think to hurt Hunter though - well Perse made sure to show off her pearly whites.
Hunter though, hardly noticing much besides Liam due to her tunnel vision, simply wormed her way into his arms. She was careful still of his scar, blaring reminders in the back of her head that scars hurt and were painful reminders of the past.
"It's ok Liam it's all fine. Just don't do anything bad okay? This is fine, we're fine Liam."
her reaction confused him, left him at an unknown to what to do next. should he hug her? or just leave maybe? all these conflicting thoughts and emotions in his head was driving him insane. he ignored her first question and just stood there. he should just leave, in fact he already had a hand in his pocket around the aerodactyl's pokeball when she moved forward to hug him.
and just like that he suddenly felt more calm, more controlled, very similar to how he felt the day they visited the hospital together. he didn't even notice the protective nature of the poochyena, instead leaning in, arms wrapping around her as he rested his chin atop her head gently.
"we're fine," he whispered, repeating her words no matter how hysterical they may be. but really, it wasn't fine, and he knew it was never going to be fine. he was a criminal, and a galactic member, and it was her job to bring him in.
"i can't promise you that." doing something bad couldn't be avoided. he wasn't too sure when his next incident will happen but it was inevitable. "i can promise you that we'll still be friends, though." but that still poses the problem of her duties as a ranger, and he knew he had to do the right thing.
"you can't let them find out that you know me. you'll be reprimanded, or worse." same thing happened with lena, and just like now it was his fault. he wasn't going to let that happen again.

This situation? Pretty fucked in Hunter's opinion. Her first friend was suddenly a wanted criminal, a galactic member with a laundry list of offenses. She rested her head on his shoulder and squeezed her eyes shut, gripping the back of his shirt. She was so worried now, not for her but for Liam. Her voice was small as she spoke to him, wavering with uncertainty.
"At least promise you'll stay safe? At least try? Please?"
She didn't even acknowledge the second half of his comments, too focused on the feeling of her arms around him and him being safe, with her at that moment.
"You know, you're the only one who signed my cast."
She admitted with a breathy laugh. Persephone meanwhile, wasn't doing so good. Hunter twitched and pulled away slowly as Persephone whimpered, before a bright light overtook the growling Poochyena. Persephone morphed before Hunter's startled gaze, right into a very viciously snarling Mightyena. Perse looked between her weeping trainer and Liam, and lunged forward.
Hunter, seeing it from a mile away, thrust herself in front of the attacking pokemon and thrust out her casted arm. Persephone snarled loudly and dug her jaws into the cast, cracking it and sinking her fangs right into Hunter's arm. Hunter, for what it was worth, made no noise besides a muffled groan as a loud snap and crunch echoed in the ruins.
"Liam get back!"
Hunter really didn't want to hit her pokemon. Hitting her on the snout would be the best way to get her to let go, right on the nose, but Persephone's gaze was still stuck firmly on Liam and the jaws were only getting tighter. Hunter grunted with pain as blood dripped down her arm, cotton and plaster digging into her skin painfully. There was no way her arm and hand weren't shattered at this point and Hunter sunk to her knees, trying to pry apart the pokemon's jaw.
stay safe. he wasn't familiar with that concept and even if he was it seemed like there was always something that would put him in danger. but he nodded anyways, and in a way that was another lie and another false promise. her next comment made him chuckle, putting a small smile on his face as he looked down at the cast.
"i can't believe no one else signed it," he commented. just as he finished his eyes were drawn to a glowing flash of white and suddenly a mightyena stood behind them. he wasn't scared of the poochyena before but now that it's evolved it was a whole different situation. he was slow to react to the leaping mightyena, taking a step back when it bit into hunter's cast and then down into her arm.
a hand instinctively reached into his pocket and soon enough a pokemon was called out. an arcanine stood in front of him, powerful as ever as it growled at the mightyena. he couldn't attack the thing without risking hurting hunter as well as she was still trapped in its bite.
"let go."
fangs would grow a bright red as the arcanine prepared itself for a battle.

Hunter was in a lot of pain. Persephone was finally starting to loosen under the pure force of Hunter's persistent pushing, and the damage to her arm was pretty bad. Hunter tried not to look, feeling her stomach churn as she saw the blood that was supposed to be inside her body was out of it.
Persephone suddenly wrenched back, releasing her arm as the Arcanine appeared. Persephone moved forward swiftly and Hunter hunched over, exhausted.
"Liam just go don't fight!"
The problem was that Liam actually seemed a lot stronger than her. Staring the Arcanine in the eye was pretty terrifying. She'd never dealt with one before but most of all she didn't want Persephone to die. She clutched her hand to her chest and moved to stumble to her feet, wavering from the pain.
Persephone paced back and forth in front of the Arcanine, growling and snarling. Every attempt Hunter made to approach her would result in snapping, and she nearly got her other hand caught in Perse's jaws.
"She's stressed s-she doesn't act like this! I don't know what's wrong!"
Persephone waited for an attack, eyeing the Arcanine critically.
he couldn't look at her arm, every attempt to would end with a redirection to the ground. it was bleeding, and he could see that she was in pain. for some reason he was angry, not at himself or at her but rather at the mightyena. it was her pokemon, it was her partner, so why did it attack? and why didn't it let go? whatever the reason was it was still on the prowl, and its target was liam and the arcanine.
any words from the girl just seemed to go through one ear and out the other. he was seeing red as he stared at the mightyena, who didn't look like it was backing down any time soon. any regard of safety went out the window, he knew he had to take the mightyena down.
whistle.
forward the arcanine lunged, fangs flaring with fire as it bit down into the other, delivering a FIRE FANG attack. that was the only thing it would do, realizing that it was much more powerful. liam went look at the girl before gesturing her away.

She barely got out of the way as the battle began. Vaguely she heard someone crying and realized it was her, and some sort of pleading which was also her. She didn't realize how bad this was going to get, but she hoped to everything holy and good that Persephone would be okay by the end of this.
Persephone took the hit directly, yelping as she suffered a pretty severe burn. The burn forced her back once the Arcanine finally let go, and attacked with a Crunch of her own.
Hunter really generally cursed herself for her lack of common sense when it came to her pokemon. They shared a special bond and therefore she didn't even think to grab her pokeballs. Maybe this is what Persephone needed though, a fight?
a part of him did wonder why hunter didn't just recall her mightyena but then it hit him that she must not have brought its pokeball along with her. "don't kill it," he whispered to the arcanine as it let go of the poor thing. but even after the fire fang it was still rowdy and ready to go for its own attack, hitting the fire dog with a crunch of its own. the arcanine yelped in pain but was quick to shake it off.
whistle.
another order came from the spy. the arcanine was getting worked up at the battle, angry now as it returned yet another FIRE FANG attack, this time power not contained as it just let loose. liam couldn't stomach looking at the girl so he kept his eyes on the battle, hoping that it would be over soon.

Hunter wanted this nightmare to be over. Luckily for her, some mercy would be showed. Persephone was exhausted from her sudden transformation, and fainted easily after the second much more brutal attack. Fur singed and with burns littering her form she fell over, knocked out cold. Hunter muffled a scream with her good arm, rushing over to the fallen pokemon and burying her face in Persephone's fur.
"Liam I am so sorry I don't know what got into her..."
She whispered. This was getting to be a disaster, and Hunter wanted nothing more than to go to her hotel and sleep for a few years. Despite her broken arm she stood, trying to lift the large pokemon with her and struggling.
"I need to get her to the pokemon center."
There was a sense of desperation in her actions, she was starting to wear thin.
when the mightyena fainted the spy was quick to recall the arcanine back into its pokeball. it had done enough and luckily it didn't end with a death because he wasn't too sure if he could handle one again. "why are you apologizing?" he asked. he too rushed over, not to the dog but to the girl, hands immediately reaching out to place on her shoulder to grab her attention.
"are you okay? fuck--" he asked, voice trailing at the end as he got a good close look at the bite. blood was oozing, bones were not where they were supposed to be. there was no way she was going to heal without a proper trip to the hospital again. but the mightyena was another problem he needed to take care of.
"i'm sorry."
two pokeballs would be thrown to call out an aerodactyl and an arcanine, the same one from just a second ago. his head wasn't thinking clearly and his thoughts were jumbled, but what was clear was that they needed to make two stops; one at the pokemon center and one at the hospital.
"drax can take her to the center. you need to come with me to the hospital. now."

Staring at Liam for a moment, uncomprehending, she jerked her arm back and cried out in pain. She grabbed at her arm, fingers fluttering around the wound to try and put pressure where it was needed. Both her hands were soon covered in blood and she sucked in a shaky breath, shaking her head and choking back the tears that seemed to come so easily these days.
"Don't...don't swear. You're too sweet to talk like that."
She never should have done this. She should have just ignored the signs, pretended like everything was okay and she wasn't shaking apart at the seams. Hunter nodded numbly and stood on shaking legs, watching in painful silence as her precious pokemon was taken away.
"Oh....oh....how bad is this? I think my arm is broken."
Think was an understatement.
"Okay okay I can do this, let's go."
The journey was admittedly frantic for Hunter as she felt herself growing paler and paler from pain. Her lips pressed into a firm line she entered the hospital with Liam by her side, grip shaky and fleeting. A nurse glanced over by chance and gasped, bringing the attention of several members of medical staff.
"Liam...L-Liam LIAM."
She was freaking out, and grabbed as his arm as they swarmed around the injured person. Questions were being thrown back and forth and Hunter felt herself drowning in the sensations.
