THESE ARE THE DAYS
WHEN I HATE THE WORLD
HATE THE RICH, HATE THE HAPPY, HATE THE COMPLACENT. TV WATCHERS, BEER DRINKERS, THE SATISFIED ONES. BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BE ALL THOSE LITTLE HATEFUL THINGS AND THEN I HATE MYSELF FOR REALIZING THAT. BE SAFE, BE SAFE.
Darius was a hella happy to be in Petalburg, but that would soon turn into a oh god this place is even worse than fucking Oldale and Littleroot. "Finally here. Let's see what they have in this shitty town." Darius muttered to himself quietly, he knew there wasn't going to be much. He learned it was better to expect the worst since all these towns decide to disappoint him in the end. Darius was sick of the slow shit, he didn't even run into any criminals it was all too dull for him. "First one of those Aqua or Magma scum bags I meet I'm going to beat the shit out of them for sure."
Darius traveled to the Pokémon center, he didn't really need to heal up since all he did was beat up some little girl and her Magikarp. It was an extremely short battle and Darius barely got any experience from it, another let down on his already terrible journey. "When will someone strong appear? Even Sylvester was a weakling." Darius muttered leaving the center, as he walked through the door he nearly bumped into someone. "Watch where you're fucking going. . ." He said angrily catching the look in the males eyes. It was one of those looks filled with justice, a look that made Darius cringe since he hated goody two shoes, but this guy seemed different. He was the type of guy who would bring the whole system down, making it fall right on it's ass and kick it. Afterwards take it over and rule the whole god damned world. Darius grinned, he liked that way more than a stupid fucking goody two shoe.

moment of truth and the moment to lie the moment to live & the moment to die
Julius wasn't in a very good mood, maybe he never was. After running into Rory and having to deal with a shitload else, he couldn't care where he was going. His hands were in his pockets, the usual fierce and distinct look in his eyes and he continued to walk, regardless of the pedestrians surrounding him. The cigarette between his lips was, as usual, letting out a steady flow of smoke.
"Tcht," as all his said as his body clashed into another one, and his gaze shifted to the man. His eyes quickly summed up the man infront of him, he looked like a general goon, with bright red hair and a cruel, malicious look in his eyes. Julius rolled his eyes at his display of brutish strength.
"Sorry, but I hope you can easily tell wasn't my intention to go touching some trash like you," he drawled, boredom ringing in his tone. The male looked shady, and even though he knew the effects of prejudice it was hard not to judge from the outside looks. He paused there on the street long enough to remove the cigarette, blow out smoke, and place it back in.
He was usually friendly, perhaps even apologetic, but right now he wasn't in the mood to deal with crap from someone like that.

Darius was slightly interested in the Male, he was going to be a little more interesting the rest of the fuckers he's come across so far. He cracked his knuckles with excitement, a malicious grin spreading across his face. This was going to be fun, really fun for Darius, he couldn't give two shits about this guys name, all he cared about was if he was strong. He wanted a good fight for once, and he felt like he was just about to get it.
"Watch where you're fucking going, four eyes." Darius sneered at Julius, he was obviously going to instigate a fight. It's what he wanted currently, and this guy looked like he needed to blow off some steam anyway, Darius wasn't going to let a good chance like this to easily slip away. He reached into his pocket pulling out cigarette lighting it right in front of Julius releasing the first puff of smoke directly in his face. "Trash? Look at your four eyes acting all tough, even got a cig in ya mouth trying to look cool?" Darius replied, a slight hiss-like snicker following it. "What are you gonna do to get past me? I ain't moving for you anytime soon punk." He liked this guys current personality he wasn't going to lie, he was eager to see what kind of Pokémon he was rolling. "Well punk? I can toss you just as fast as I can toss one of those Aqua and Magma fuck boys any day."

moment of truth and the moment to lie the moment to live & the moment to die
Julius stared, half impressed and half disgusted. The male seemed to be the epitome of the annoying criminals you see on streets every day, and he didn't care if he had no conclusive evidence: everything about the male rubbed Julius the wrong way.
"And you, yes you must be toughest kid in your home school, yeah?" But now Julius was more than mildly annoyed, he was pissed off. And even more pissed off that the cheap ass aggression tactics the younger boy was using were working. In the end, Julius was a man, and he couldn't back down from such a blatantly proposed challenge.
But what Darius said at the end made Julius laugh. "You've gotta be kidding me," he said, shaking his head to the left and then to the right, a sort of quizzical display of mirth after his more than just cold actions before. Right now, Julius actually seemed to be trying forcefully not to crack up, and yet smirking anyway. But he didn't seem in any rush to say what exactly he found humorous so instead of explaining he shrugged in a what can you do fashion and stepped backwards a bit, before throwing a pokeball into the air seamlessly.
"If all you're looking for is a fight, a pretty pleas would've been nice," he taunted, just as the flash of white went out to reveal En, flapping by meticulously, fangs barred as per usual. The zubat hovered around Julius, flapping comfortably as it eyed the other human.
The people on the street began to make way for a pokemon battle, some gawking while others took no notice.
Julius meanwhile, was still smiling, for reasons unknown.

Darius's grin only widened, he was happy for once anyway. He believed he did it and got Julius all riled up to Battle, hopefully he'd be good at it. If not oh well there are bigger fish to fry out in this world aren't there? Darius could careless if he sucked ass at battling, he was going to enjoy shoving this rich boy looking kinda guys face into the dirt where it belonged in his eyes.
"Actually I was the toughest kid in the fucking city? What about you? Were you the Miss Priss the Middle School's bathroom bitch?" He replied back, another hiss-like laughter following it. Darius cracked his knuckles a third time. "Well? Are you going to do something or not? Are you all bark no bite Miss Priss?" Darius added with the laughter slowly intensifying. "Are you?"
Julius then began to laugh, was he finally getting into the fight as well? Or was he just losing his mind either one didn't matter to Darius as long as Julius decided to be his punching bag. "No jokes here, only a bitch who's about to piss his pants and me the big bully who's going to make him." Darius replied, he honestly could careless about what Julius was laughing about all he wanted to do was fight and enjoy himself.
"I don't need to say pretty please, you're the ones begging for it as usual Miss Priss." Darius said, the taunt didn't work on him he expect at least something back to anger him. Finally Julius decided to release one of his Pokémon and Darius wasn't going to hold back his own. "Let's do this! Gible!" He said and released the Land Shark Pokémon from it's capsule. "I'll be taking the lead! I hope this crowd doesn't mind getting a caught up in the action!" Darius added and then looked at his Gible with a nod as if it actually knew what to do straight off the bat. Gible began stomping it's feet sending sand flying everywhere. Soon a Sandstorm would start up ravaging all the buildings and passerby's. "Follow up that with Dragon Rage!"

moment of truth and the moment to lie the moment to live & the moment to die
Julius was sick to the stomach just hearing the male speak. How could anyone be so pointlessly aggressive, and sounds so much like an uncultured swine trying to be something useful. He looked at Darius with a look of mild pity as a slurr of profanities left his mouth. TO be honest Julius had stopped attempting to decipher what he was trying to say- trash can only speak in trash.
But trash like this? It was useful, undoubtedly.
Julius's stomach fell a little at a gible that propped out of the pokeball, and suddenly he knew why the male seemed to thing he was the hottest shit in town. He sighed. Beating this would be tricky, and the sandstorm that stared up soon after would do nothing but hinder Julius. But he needed to win. It would hard if he couldn't, for what he had planned, anyway.
The zubat screeched at the horrid sandstorm and began flapping around wildly, dodging the dragon rage in more of a panic than anything else. Julius didn't order his pokemon, that would be useless. He used his time instead to think about how he could go about this.
A psychotic little mutt that would go around chasing any strong trainer it could, especially magma and aqua. Dangerous, especially with that starter. But extremely valid too, and worthy. If Julius could knock him down a few pegs, he could possibly earn his respect, or maybe he'd just hate him more. He was sure.
But as the Zubat started diving madly towards the gible, Julius could not help but idly wonder. If he started doing things like that, was he really different from a criminal? From magma or aqua?

No more words from Julius? Alright, fine by Darius, he would let their Pokémon do all the talking from now on, he had said all he needed to, and if there was more that was going to come up he'd say it after the battle. He had to focus now who knows what annoying shit this Bat would have on it, He nodded seeing the bastard would be able to dodge at least on Dragon Rage, he was up to that twelve year old with Magikarp's skill, so far.
Gible instinctively dodged one of the Wing Attacks, but was hit by the other she didn't mind though it was barely any damage done to her. "Alright Gible, shoot it down you know the drill." Darius commanded his Pokémon, this was all but target practice this Pokémon had no chance of beatings glorious Gible. That made him feel really good inside, he was going to really enjoy this battle. "Again!"

He frowned, keeping the thoughts that took him by storm out of his head. He wasn't concentrating as hard as he should be on the battle, not right now, anyway. It was simple enough, he needed to win. But he felt like even if he did win and managed to get Darius on his side, it would make him feel hollow. If was serious about this, about an organization, what would he do if it ended up just like magma and aqua, full of goons like his current opponent?
En swiveled out of the way, and Julius caught sight of his pokemon having trouble. "Tch...." he was grinding his teeth in annoyance at the dragon rages that kept coming- if En dodged one she would be hit by another. The zubat was hit and Julius did not wait fro confirmation. He pulled out a pokeball and threw it into the air, unleashing the pokemon he had been holding back.
Octo appeared in another flash of light, her icy body shimmering in the sun. "Icy wind, now!" Julius didn't care how many pokemon it took, he'd win if the only thing the trainer infront of him had was a gible. He allowed himself to smirk again as the ice type unleashed a fury of cold wind that combating the dry heat of the sandstorm.
Julius wondered if his plan would work and watched the gible, suddenly interested in the battle.

Darius was pleased to see the Zubat go down so easily, but he didn't expect another Pokémon to come out! He thought it was going to be a simple one versus one, but he was wrong. He didn't care though he can handle this. "Street rules right?"
"Gible dodge! And use Dragon Rage again!" Darius barked his orders, but it was too late one Icy Wind had already made contact, the other was narrowly dodged. "Mother fucker." He muttered quietly, as his Gible shot out another Dragon Rage. "One more." Another was shot out instantly, hopefully taking this one down as well. "Piece of shit has a slight advantage."

"Correct," he said, simply, before adding as a snarky after thought, "For once." But honestly by now both trainers had gotten used to the rhytym of the battle and at the very least for Julius it was more of friendly taunt than anything malicious. He was too absorbed by the battle and his own tactics to care much about anything else.
The gible seemed to have lost valuable momentum due to the barrae of cold wind, and for Julius it was now his chance. He threw open Octo's pokeball before the pokemon could be hit by a purple flare. Instead he switched in Cinque, his Clauncher, who hardly had time to react let alone dodge. The dragon rages both made their mark and Clauncher was forced into his pokeball yet again.
The next turn started, and Julius did not, contrary to what Darius might have been thinking, send out Octo again. No, Octo could hardly take down a gible as strong as that, he hardly had enough experience under his belt. Instead the pokemon that appeared was a ball of yellow and brown. Zwei, Juls's hyper active little critter that always managed to have something good to say.
"Quick attack, Zwei, no hesitations!" The pikachu nodded quickly, and became a shrouded blurr as it moved to take the gible down- a rush of speed and energy. In insane speed of the move that Zwei used would enable it to attack first regardless, and so Julius was confident he could get some punches in.
The pikachu dived forward, and Julius watched it go.

Darius nodded at Julius's confirmation. He couldn't care anymore about how many pokemon Julius was going to use, it seemed like Gible was getting a lot of experience from this battle. His Gible stood briefly for a moment stomping her feet vigorously against the ground. "Giiible!!!" She roared a slight intimidation tactic to show she was ready to go even more. Darius grinned, Julius finally seemed to get over what he was pissed off earlier about, and was fully absorbed into the battle just as he was himself.
Darius watched as Julius switched out the Bergmite to protect, letting his Clauncher be knocked down and out instantly. He knew that little shit was going to come back around when his Gible was weaker, but if that did happen his Gible would have gained a lot of experience by then which would balance out the second wave of winds from knocking out Gible, at least Darius believed so anyway.
Julius sent out his third Pokémon, a Pikachu, such an annoying little energetic fuck in Darius's eyes. He was going to enjoy shoving it's face into the floor. "Dragon Rage Gible!" Darius commanded and Gible charged up a purple fireball in it's mouth and shot it out towards the Pikachu that was speeding towards him. "Again quickly!" He ordered as Pikachu came back around for the second time.

moment of truth and the moment to lie the moment to live & the moment to die
The pikachu dived forth, right into its own demise, no doubt. But if there was one thing that was alright about Julius and where he was going with this battle, it was that he did not so much as flinch regardless of however many of his pokemon fainted. His expression remain placid as the flames hurt one of his favorite companions, and he looked almost bored as he took the next pokeball out. But suddenly he remembered what he had meant to ask.
He tossed out Cirque again, the Bergmite immediately letting loose a flurry of icy winds at the gible without having to be told what to do. Julius, on the other hand, looking at Darius. THe raven haired male didn't give much of a warning to his question, nor did he bother with reason. Logic wouldn't work on an ape like this male in front of him, and Julius was alright with that.
"Why do you hate rangers?" It was a bit of a gamble- the hothead could have been a ranger himself, or even liked the rangers, knowing how screwed up Hoenn already was, Julius wouldn't have been surprised. But he was willing to experiment to get the answers he wanted. More than anything, though, his mind was asking another question, a question that dealt with the battle and how he might lose, a question dealing with something greater than Darius and this little banter.
Was the solution to wild cards like him being inside an organization pure dominance? Aggression, hierarchy?
Wasn't there something he was overlooking, some key component in all of this, some way to unite people better than the flimsy ideas Magma and Aqua had thrown together?

Darius counted in his head, Zubat, Clauncher, and Pikachu, that's three down three more to go if he had a full party of Pokemon, if he did not have a full party of Pokemon that makes it better for Darius. Darius was extremely calm now, he'd only grin a menacing grin, and let out tiny snickers of enjoyment. "Well, next Pokemon gonna come out yet?" He said looking at the unconscious Pikachu, "What's with trainers and there puffball Pokemon." He thought to himself, Darius only liked Strong Pokemon, but that was just him.
Darius expected the Bergmite to come out again, he was prepared for it this time around, there was no point of it even trying to fight against the mighty Dragon type, no type advantage could save it now. The first Icy Wind blew towards Gible fiercely, but she rolled out of the way into the second one. "Such an annoying move." Darius muttered and his Gible shot Dragon Rage towards the Bergmite, rolling again and shooting another Dragon Rage from another area.
Suddenly Julius asked him a question about hating Rangers. "The hell? Where did that come from." Darius muttered to himself and then decided to answer. "Rangers are pretty worthless if you ask me, you'd think one would interrupt this battle since I caused a fucking sandstorm in a fucking city." Darius answered with a slight snicker, he didn't care much about Rangers. "Anything a Ranger can do and Vigilante could do better, Ranger is just a title, they don't do anything at all. Like I said before pretty damn worthless." Darius added and then resumed his focus on the battle, his Gible ran over to him and he sprayed it with a potion healing it up a bit. "There ya go gal, now go get em'."

Fine, it worked. This guy also hated the system. Despite the fact that the respect Julius had for him was flimsy at best, it existed because of that singular belief. The world couldn't be made completely of reasonable people, there had to be people like him, like Sylvester. Like Andrea. They were all different. Force wouldn't unite them, but a cause could.
A cause...
"Tch! You're the one talking about annoying moves, now?" Julius asked, the words a little harsh but a smile playing on his lips, the little dialogue more friendly banter than anything. The second he sensed a little familiarity in Darius, and the second he got an answer to his dilemma, the animosity had faded. Julius found at a last one thing he could use, one final piece that had been missing from his plan. Everyone wants to help, everyone will do anything to bring about a better world. In this match, all his pokemon were up against one monster dishing out one dragon rage after another. But didn't the little things count? The things like Zwei's little quick attacks, like En's wing attacks.
Small things.
"Dodge on, then brace yourself!" Bergmite rolled out of the way of one rage, and then seemed to become infinitely smaller as the second one kicked in. But the bergmite did not fall, its ability kicking in in the nick of time.
"Again!" Icy winds left the bergmite's mouth, a howling of the air as a chilled gust flew towards the gible.

"I think we're ready to finish this god damn annoying popsicle shit." Darius muttered to himself as Gible huffed, she was very fucking tired, shooting out Dragon Rages endlessly, and constantly taking hit's all of it was getting to her but this battle had made her so much stronger, so very much stronger. "Alright dodge one last time!" Darius commanded and Gible flipped out of the way and into another Icy Wind, this one barely left her standing on her own two feet, in fact she was wobbling back and forth.
"Shit, gotta end this now." Darius thought to himself, and Gible began charging a Dragon Rage in it's mouth by itself, no order needed. "Fire!" Darius said as the Dragon Rage left Gible's mouth gunning towards Bergmite. "Final one!" Darius commanded and the Gible shot another one, there was no pausing between both of the shots it was all going to be rapid fire Dragon Rages from here.
