(SB at Kyo) Snakebite sidles up to Kyo, throwing an arm around the other's shoulders and pulling them closer. "Well, hey there~ What brings you to this little shindig? Want to get a drink, maybe?"

"I-I-" Kyo stammered for a moment. She hadn't been prepared to be approached by someone who checked so many of her boxes, and the coquito was NOT helping matters. She scrambled for a moment trying to think of something to say. Anything.

"I came on a visit to Nathaniel and his friends," she finally managed. Kyo took a deep breath in to regain part of her composure, hoping to not make a complete and utter fool of herself. "A drink... sounds nice, yes. You'll have to tell me what brings you to visit as well." Kyo suddenly found herself very desperate to know if Nat was familiar with this very attractive person and why he had failed to mention them at all before.

"Fascinating!" Kyo said, "The universe continues to be such a diverse and unexpected place."

Light spun around a bit in delight. "Zzt zzt! Correct, I am a Rotom! I was bred specifically-"

Agatha's sudden disappearance under the waves cuts its answer off, leaving Kyo and Light in stunned silence.

"Zzt zzt... was it something I said?" Light asked quietly.

Kyo furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head. "No, Light, I think something else spooked her. Come on, let's head back to the bar."

(AskTheWhiteRocket) “Oh my, what an usual Pokémon,” Kyo remarks with awe. “Zzt zzt! My records indicate this Pokémon is a darkrai!” Light chimed in. “A darkrai? Fascinating! Are all darkrai like you where you are from?” She asked Agatha.

(@agent-morpeko) Alicia approaches the duo. She takes a peak on a Kyo's bracelet with a blue R.

"Hello! How's going? The bracelet...hmm...how did you get one? Also, a R? Is that a Team Rocket symbol? Not going to interfere you, but, I have a bit suspicions here cause Team Rocket used to steal Pokémon back when humans existed in my world..."

Kyo waited a moment as Meowstic translated for her and fiddled with the charm bracelet as Alicia brought her attention to it. It hadn't occurred to her that this would give things away so quickly even when she wasn't in her usual uniform.

"A common misconception and one I won't fault you for, but you need not worry. I am not associated with the Team Rocket you speak of. The program I work for is actually a form of counter to them, meant to rectify the damage they caused Kanto and the world at large. Or at least as much as we can," Kyo explained.

She tutted a little in thought. "Like any other politician, Kanto's decided that acronyms and symbolism trump common sense, so when devising this plan, they opted to name it the WHT RCKT, or White Rocket, program. This in turn led to them adopting the infamous R, but in a dark blue instead of the usual bright red. A bit of a poor design choice, if you ask me, but they didn't so here we are."

Meg looped her arm with Kyo's and offered Alicia a bit grin. "Meowstic and I can vouch for her. Kyo's never stolen anything, except maybe the hearts of a couple women."

Kyo let out a loud laugh and rolled her eyes. "I doubt it, but I appreciate the vote of confidence, Meg." She looked back at Alicia. "Nathaniel, the usual host for this event, would also be willing to testify on my behalf. You need not worry about any sort of criminal activity from me."

Kyo shook her head. "No, he's not around. I last saw him with Yuko in Sinnoh when I punched out Nathaniel's father. Though I did spy Claire over by the bar earlier."

"I know he likes to follow you around and whatnot, so that's why I asked," she clarified. Having your own space is good, though. I hope you enjoy your time here."

(@askthewhiterocket) "Oh, Crewel!" Kyo calls out to the Banette as she approaches. "Fancy seeing you here. Are Yuko and Lance around or is it just you here tonight?"

Crewel grinned a little wider as Kyo drew closer.

"Oh, hey. it's been a while, huh?"

He took a moment to pop a bit of fruit into his mouth, chewing happily and swallowing before answering.

"It's just me here tonight. I wanted a little bit of space and fun before heading home."

Crewel looks a little worried for a moment.

"Why'd you mention Lance? Has he been around lately...?"

"Hah! Thank you," Kyo said as she took the glass. She sipped the coquito quietly as she listened to Nat let his own walls down and shared a tale of his own.

She had no idea they were Unova-born as well, making a mental note to ask about it later, but unfortunately, Nat's tale was an all too common one for Castelia. The city, for all its flashiness, had a dark underbelly. It was rife with crime, and being a port city made it a hot spot for trafficking.

"I'm sorry, that sounds absolutely awful," Kyo said as Nat finished his story. "And at that young of an age too, I can't imagine. You may not have wholly understood back then, but you still lost a friend. Growing up with that could not have been easy for either of you."

Kyo took another sip of her coquito and adjusted her glasses. "Speaking from experience, it can be hard to let down the walls you've built up around the pain. Especially when you have others relying on you. There is a reason I left Meowstic with Meg for this conversation." She nodded her head towards her companions in the distance. "My abilities mean that my emotions can have a great impact on psychic-types around me. When dealing with the Pokemon that I do, I must remain stoic or else I risk driving them into a frenzy, or worse." She smirked a little. "I would know, I have the scars to prove it," she said with a laugh.

"Gabe is a Ciquex like you, is he not? Perhaps he feels similarly. He knows the weight of the expectations on him, as you do. People in positions of leadership can be fearful of letting those walls drop, lest it harm those around them." Kyo looked over towards Gabe and shrugged. "But that could be entirely off base. You know him far better than I do."

"I could try to talk to him if you'd like, but I can't guarantee it would do much of anything." Kyo's gaze returned to Meg as she took another sip from her coquito. By now, her companion had set up the travel telescope and was in the process of giving Meowstic another of her stargazing lectures. Kyo smiled a little. "Sometimes it just takes finding the right person to start tearing down the walls you've built around yourself."

(From here)

[Nat listened intently to what Kyo had to say, feeling his own heart twist in his chest the more that he heard. It was difficult to articulate what he wanted to say-sympathy didn't feel enough, expressing condolences wasn't going to change anything. Watching the tears roll from someone who had appeared so stoic until now had him reflecting the sentiment, wiping his own face after a bit with a small chuckle.]

[He couldn't form the words that he wanted, instead shifting conversation in what seemed to be abrupt.]

Wait one moment.

[He went off for a few moments to collect himself and gather his thoughts, also allowing Kyo the grace to do the same without being watched. He returned after a short period of time with a bottle and two small glasses, sitting in the sand and pouring a bit from the bottle before staking it in the sand.]

It's from my reserves, so you and Meg both still have your own.

[After handing the glass to Kyo he stared off into the gathering, taking a sip from his own.]

First, it means a ton you'd share that. I know it had to be hard. I'm sorry about Luke, really...

Good thing at least is that everyone seems supportive so far, I don't need his approval... still doesn't mean that it doesn't sting like a Beedrill though.

I didn't know you were a Unova kid too-Gabe and I were born and raised in the boroughs of Castelia for a few years. Similar upbringing. We'd spend our time stealing snacks from the chain stores with Gabe's brother. Never stole from the family shops and bodegas though, they were our people after all. Three kids running around the city without a care in the world and hyped on sugar.

You remind me a lot of him, of Gabe. Good head on your shoulders, really care a lot despite it not being noticed on first glance.

There was only one time in my memory I ever saw him break-well, two, but only one of those is relevant-ish.

We had a friend all those years ago. It was one of the days we had hung out, but I remember there being some chaos at home that night. Turns out he got lost... rather he just never made it home, no one could find him. It was like that for a few weeks with nothing, not even Cadaver-Stoutland had leads. Gabe of course is a bit older than me. I had to have been no older than four when it happened, so I was confused and concerned at best. Gabe however knew what that closed casket meant. He was absolutely inconsolable.

[He poured another little bit of coquito out for each of them, taking some sips before continuing.]

It's rough, and it's tragic to have these things happen to those close to us. All this to say it's not all in your head either, what you're feeling. It's always good to let the walls drop a bit, and it means a lot you trusted me to do so.

[Nat's voice became quieter as he stared off into the sand.]

I just gotta hope he can do the same.

(@ask-aeos-company) Essie approaches Kyo as she is a bit nervously smile towards another human.

"Hihi! Don't m-mind me, I'm a lil timid when comes to humans. Anna is pretty brave towards them."

She is taking a peak to Kyo's Meowstic.

"Oh, another psychic like me... Anyways, how did you meet this Pokémon? Kinda wanted to know them more, and even talk to them, if ya don't mind."

Essie didn't need to voice her timidness, as her words conveyed such well enough. The espeon's question came through clearly enough for Kyo to understand, though that didn't stop Meowstic from reiterating it to ensure Kyo got the message.

"Ah, yes, well Meowstic is certainly capable of introducing herself, if she wishes," Kyo said.

Meowstic adjusted her position on Kyo's shoulder and smiled at Essie. "A pleasure to meet you. Kyo and I have been partners since we were both very young. She..."

Meowstic hesitated for a moment, glancing at Kyo. "Are you sure it's okay for me to share?" she asked quietly.

"I'll be okay, I promise," Kyo answered, scratching Meowstic's head reassuringly.

Meowstic let out a small chirp before returning her gaze to Essie. "It's nothing particularly momentous. A rather typical trainer meets first partner story. I was born as part of a colony of wild espurr and meowstic outside of Driftveil City, where Kyo is originally from. She and friend of hers caught me together when I ventured a bit too far from the colony's territory. They shared custody of me for a number of years, training and playing with me, before Kyo set off for the WHT RCKT program."

Meowstic wiggled her tails happily. "Hope that answers your question! Happy to answer any more you might have."

[ Ask Hints Have Been Updated ]

[askthewhiterocket]

Kyo adjusted the quarter sleeves of her shirt as she made her way onto the island. She wasn’t used to wearing something quite so low-cut, but Meg had insisted it was better suited to the tropical climate than what they wore last year. “Well, if she likes it I guess it’s good to wear it,” Kyo mumbled to no one in particular. 

‘You’re hopeless,’ Meowstic purred with a smirk. 

“Shush,” Kyo hissed quietly.

“Kyo, wait up!” Meg called, running up behind her. “Almost forgot my bag of berries and water in the Skarmory taxi.”

“You caught the pilot before he took off though, yeah?”

“Yep!” Meg said with a big smile. “All set to go to meet with the Magi again this year. I’m so excited! Last year’s visit was so magical.” Meg gazed up at the sky and twirled as they walked. “Oh, Kyo, the stars are just as beautiful as I remember them!”

Meowstic lightly tapped the side of Kyo’s head, snapping her out of her trance as she watched Meg spin across the beach sands. “Ah-! Well, it’s funny you should mention that I uh…” Kyo quickly fumbled for her bag and produced another somewhat smaller bag from inside. “I remembered how much you liked stargazing last year, so I got you something. C-Consider it a Magi Day gift, I guess.” She held the bag out to Meg as she tried to ignore the tightness in her chest. 

Meg gazed at the bag for a moment before gently taking it from Kyo’s grasp and opening it. She gasped in delight and looked back up at Kyo. “A travel telescope?” Kyo nodded quietly. “You even got it in blue,” Meg added as she gazed back down at the gift. “How much did this-”

“Ah ah ah, it’s a gift. You’re not allowed to ask that,” Kyo interjected. “Just put it to good use while we’re here, okay? The skies are never this clear in Kanto.”

Meg chuckled. “Too true.” Meg closed the bag back up and quickly trapped Kyo in a tight hug. “Thank you so much, Kyo. This is such a thoughtful gift.”

Kyo froze up for a moment, completely unprepared as Meg’s excitement turned into one of the tightest squeezes she could muster. Kyo’s face turned bright red and she managed a quiet, “You’re welcome,” as she hugged Meg back. 

Meg released Kyo after a moment and bounced happily in the sand. “Come on! Let’s hurry and meet the others so we can ask them where a good place to set this up would be.”

“A great idea. Let’s be off,” Kyo said with a smile.

[Kyo and Meg have arrived at the Magi Retreat. Ask them something?]

[askthewhiterocket]

The bottle’s arrival took Kyo by surprise, albeit for different reasons this year than it did the one prior. Unlike the year before, Kyo knew she and Meg were more than welcome to visit the island. Nathaniel had repeatedly assured them of such, much to Kyo’s great relief. But considering the events that had befallen the man during his visit to Sinnoh, Kyo found herself somewhat surprised that celebrations continued. Then again, she supposed the illustrious magi would arrive regardless of any sort of party to mark the occasion, and perhaps it was a necessity for the balance of the island. Kyo wouldn’t claim to understand half the ongoings in that place. 

“Are you thinking of attending again this year?” Meg asked, reading the invitation over Kyo’s shoulder. 

“Yes, after what happened in Sinnoh, I am worried for Nathaniel’s wellbeing. I wish to check in on him.”

Meg smiled and patted Kyo’s shoulder. She was doing her best to obscure it, but it was obvious to Meg that Kyo was far more concerned about Nat than she was letting on. Meg couldn’t blame her either. It was faint but in the shuffle of everything during the encounter with Alan, Meg could’ve sworn she sensed something… foul. Considering everything else that unfolded during that day, it was effectively a footnote in the chaos, but it was enough to give Meg some cause for worry.

“You didn’t have to punch out his dad, you know,” she teased. 

Kyo scoffed loudly. “Yes, I did,” she said with a click of her tongue. A smirk crossed Kyo’s face as she proudly recalled the moment. “Nobody gets to treat their kid like that. A lick or two in the face is far too small a punishment, in my opinion. He’s lucky I didn’t want to risk getting jailed on Sinnoh soil.”

“You are lucky that Champion Lance and Alruba were willing to testify on your behalf to get the assault and battery charges dropped,” Meg pointed out. “That could’ve ended very differently if they hadn’t been there to witness it.”

“Yeah yeah yeah, but it didn’t and the bastard got a small taste of what he deserves,” Kyo said with a wave of her hand. She sighed a little and pressed her lips together tightly in thought. “I just… don’t want Nathaniel to end up like Luke,” she admitted after a moment. 

A flicker of recognition crossed Meg’s mind at the name. She’d heard Kyo mention it before in passing. She was curious for more details but now didn’t feel like the best time to press her on it. Instead, Meg squeezed Kyo’s shoulder reassuringly. “Let’s go visit him then. Offer support where we can.”

Kyo smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”

“But first-!” Meg spun Kyo around and took her hands tightly in hers, “We are going shopping! New year means new outfits!”

Kyo stammered for a moment but Meg gave her no time to protest as the eager red-head swiftly pulled her companion away for a day of shopping.

[askthewhiterocket]

Kyo waited a moment as Meowstic translated the morpeko's response back to her. She folded her arms and nodded. "It is indeed a bit odd, but not the most unusual thing I've ever seen. Ever since that... thing emerged from my unit's base, a lot of things have been wildly different than what I am usually accustomed to."

Sensing Alicia's distress as she recalled the sad memory, Kyo waved her hand a little. "It seems you are rather experienced if you have plenty of good and bad instances to pick from. Lets focus on the good one for now then. That Helix Fossil instance sounds like it was quite the adventure!"

(askthewhiterocket) "So you work for the International Police? Fascinating," Kyo mused. "Any particularly stand out missions? I'm sure you have many tales, good and bad."

Oh, yea, I'm the Pokémon International Police agent. It's probably very rare for you to see that an actual Pokémon working as the one... And yea, I have many good tales. Like how I was tried to revive a lost Helix Fossil, but it took me a bit to revive...and it was quite comical. The robber was pretty dumb and I caught them quickly haha... But what about the bad ones...?

Warning: the next section contains blood.

Gasp...Ag...t P...CH...!

Sorry, I don't want to talk about it...

Alicia gradually becomes sad after this memory.

It seems she doesn't want to talk about the incident.

Continued from here...

"Kicked around is putting it nicely," Kyo said with a chuckle. "My hands were bruised up pretty badly once they pulled me off him."

Kyo listened intently as Nat opened up a bit about his feelings in the lead up to the tournament, the precautions they'd take and how it had all been for not. "Feelings are complicated. Sometimes we behave in ways that feel uncharacteristic of ourselves. I have. There will always be people in our lives that will draw out the worst in us, the part of us we don't want other people to see. And there's no good solution to how to handle those situations. You just have to figure it out, I suppose." She shrugged. "Of course, I haven't, so what would I know."

Kyo looked over at Nat's shoulder and offered him a reassuring smile. She thought it over for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't mind. It... might be nice to share actually. Meowstic's the only other person close to me who knows."

Kyo folded her hands together and sat in silence, pondering how best to start the story. "His name was Luke Rifa. We grew up next door to each other in Driftveil, did everything together as kids. I have so many fond memories of staying up late watching princess movies together, talking about what we were going to do in the future," Kyo said, a smile spreading across her face. She gazed at the stars above them as she continued, "Got into even more trouble as teens. Smoked behind the cold storage, stole stuff from the markets, tried to convince one of the locals to give us tattoos. Typical dumb teenager stuff."

Kyo nodded her head in Meg's direction, Meowstic sitting on her shoulder. "Meowstic was actually his Pokemon, originally. We caught her together just outside Driftveil and decided to take turns caring for her. She was registered to his trainer ID though. It was his Pokeball that caught her. And, in all candor, I think she liked him better than me."

"I actually think Luke might've been my first crush, in retrospect. Though, that was long before either of us had words for what we were. And years later when we did, we both had a good laugh about how obvious the signs were. He became my most reliable wing man with the ladies and I helped him pick a name, something that felt really him."

Kyo lowered her gaze to her folded hands and took a shaky breath. "Luke's parents didn't... take it well. When they found out about my sexuality, they blamed me, saying I'd put these ideas into his head. They forbade us from seeing each other, though that didn't stop us." Kyo tightened her grip on her own hands, her knuckles turning white. "It didn't help that Luke's parents had always been hard on him. His father in particular was very tough on him, constantly pushing Luke to go into a field he considered "proper" like nursing. He was always setting Luke up on blind dates in hopes he could get Luke married to someone wealthy."

Kyo fell silent as her expression darkened. She took in another shaky breath and released her hands to take off her glasses. "Things... escalated after that. Initially, Luke's parents let him continue to live with him, but then abruptly one day they kicked him out and completely disowned him. Since my step father is good friends with Gym Leader Clay, we were able to get him into an apartment and a job at the gym. I thought everything would be fine but... in retrospect, Luke never was quite the same after that."

Tears began to trickle down Kyo's face as the walls crumpled down around her heart. She quickly tried to wipe them away with the base of her palm only to have more immediately replace them. After a moment, she gave up, simply looking at Nat. "I was the one who found him," she said quietly. "The Pokemon Center contacted me that morning saying a pokeball had been left there for me to collect. It was Meowstic, now registered under my trainer ID. I rushed to his apartment but I... I was too late."

Kyo shuddered as she drew in another deep breath. "The authorities brought in his parents as part of the usual procedure. And his father..." Kyo set her jaw, a growl rising out of her throat. "His father had the audacity to say 'Good riddance.'" Kyo balled her hands into fists, gritting her teeth as the deep seated anger rose to the surface again. "I snapped. I attacked him, right there in the police department. Knocked out a few teeth and hit him into the floor so hard he got a concussion before they got me off him. Had to go to court over that and almost lost Meowstic in the process, but they agreed to settle with community service." She shook her head. "I got lucky. Someone else without my step dad and sister's connections would've faced a far worse sentence."

Kyo rubbed a few more of the tears away from her face. "I know you're not him. But for a moment there, in Sinnoh, when that dragon hit you, I found myself back in that police department all over again, and all I could see was red." She let out a sad laugh. "And once again I got lucky that your connections were there to save me from myself."

Kyo reached over and gently placed her hand on Nat's shoulder. "Nathaniel, I know we've had our differences. Between everything you have going on here and all the shit I've got in Kanto, we're both busy as can be. But whatever it is, I will always support you. If nothing else you're welcome to come camp out under the stars in Kanto with me and Meg anytime. She'll talk your ear off with stories about the constellations well into the night."

Kyo wiped her face again with her free hand and smiled a bit. "By the Tao, that pitorro and coquito sounds really good right about now actually."
