"Activating Natural protocol…"
The program flicked its ears. A sense of giddiness at the familiar scent. Tail wagging in a vivacious manner. “Master Touya,” the illusionist exclaimed.
He was still confused, but Touya still managed a smile at the pokemon. "Hey... Zorua? I didn't know you could talk...!" The trainer recognized Zorua as one of N's friends. But he had no idea why the other was calling him 'Master' either.
"Buizel, what are you..."
"Get out of there! That's not a bathtub!"

For a moment, Touya had been tempted to just ditch his alternate with a good scare. After all, he had already been so scared that he actually ran awa yfrom him! If that wasn’t pathetic. However if he really wanted to go through with his little plan, he would need to overcome this kind of incompetence. Team Plasma wasn’t a nice organisation, especially nowadays it was rather… complicated to even earn the trust of the grunts. The easiest way was through fear, practically what he had done two years ago already. No one dared to act up in the knight’s presence. And oh, it would be a pleasure to show Black that there was good reason to fear him. ♪
And so with casual steps, he approached the back alley Musharna had flown into. Admittedly it took a few minutes until he reached his friend as well as his alternate, but once he was there, a devious little chuckle fell from his lips. That scalpel still rested in his hand; fingers skillfully swirling it around before he chucked it in Black’s direction, although he didn’t aim for anything in specific. It would be just fine if the instrument missed the brunet completely or barely grazed his skin. Either way, it would get his message across, wouldn’t it?
"Now, now. Where do you think you’re going, my friend? We’re basically on the same side, so what’s the matter?" he enquired curiously, faking a cheerful smile as he placed a hand on his hips and canted his head to one side. "You’re contradictin yourself, you know! ♥ And I’m afraid…" At that, the knight sighed in mock disappointment and didn’t protest when Musharna floated over to his side and clung to his shoulder. Casually, Touya lifted a hand to pet his friend’s hand. "…I’m afraid I’ll have to educate you for such cowardice! Doesn’t that sound great?"
To him, it sounded like the absolute greatest thing in the world right now! Of course Touya wasn’t stupid and knew perfectly well that his alternate wouldn’t agree with him. It was such a pity, huh?
Though it had just been Musharna, and he had been able to get past the pokemon, Touya nearly ran into his alternate when he had attempted to get out of the alley. He felt his breath hitch when that happened, the brunette quickly backing away from the other. He was thoroughly trapped now, the one person he didn't want to see right now blocking the way out. This wasn't good. This really wasn't good.
He flinched when he felt the scalpel pretty much fly past him, the blade catching his skin with a sharp sting on his neck. It definitely hurt, the teen automatically reaching up to cover the cut as his eyes focused on White.
"I don't want to have anything to do with you! That's 'what's the matter'!" Touya had never planned this. Any of this. He had just meant to carry out the meeting that the King had told him to do, and then go on from there. He had never planned to meet his alternate, much less get cornered by him! Touya wasn't sure what scared him the most; The fact that he was trapped, or the fact that White was completely serious. "No, it doesn't! Just leave me alone!"
Okay, time to see what I need to reply to today~! Lessee, I-
Huh...? What is...
What?
What is this I-
wHAT?!
Chance Encounter || @indomitableblack
Now, now— What would this idiot choose? Would he be smart and stick around, or would he take flight and try to escape? Of course Touya was fairly sure what decision Black would make. He was scared, he was no longer thinking rationally. In such situations, this was a mistake. Only if you kept a calm composure, you could truly make a point, show your determination and dedication to a thing. But of course— his alternate ran away from him.
Touya sighed deeply, watching the silhouette get smaller and smaller in the distance before he reached inside his uniform and revealed a Pokéball, releasing Musharna from its confinement. “Nee, Soleil. Do you see this idiot running away from us?” the brunet enquired softly, petting the Pokémon’s nose before he sighed in mock disappointment. “He doesn’t want to play with us. I’m afraid we have to educate him about proper work ethnics in Team Plasma. Could you be so sweet and fetch him for me?”
Of course his friend agreed immediately, flying up and down before it took off and swooshed after the other brunet. Touya knew that it shouldn’t be too hard to guide the boy into another backalley, who knows? Perhaps into a dead end? Ever since Driftveil had become rich thanks to Clay’s work, the people had built so many streets that it wouldn’t surprise him if they accidentally ran into one of those unfinished dead ends— Which would work well, since he was far from done with the other.
Once he felt he was far enough, Touya ducked around a corner, meaning to catch his breath and gather his wits. Distantly, he figured that running was a bad idea... But there hadn't been much of a choice. He didn't want to find out what White had had planned for him. Granted, it soon became pretty clear when he saw a Musharna come around the corner after him. Though he hadn't seen it before, he had a pretty good reason just who it belonged to...
Well, shoot.
He didn't say a word, shoving away from the wall and running down the street. Or was it more of an alley...? He wasn't sure, and he honestly didn't care at the moment. Definitely a bad idea, though he didn't realize it anywhere near soon enough. Touya was just focusing on running, darting around corners in an attempt to lose the Musharna. White couldn't be too far behind!
Oh... Whoops... He'd been taking so many turns, Touya was definitely lost by now. Not to mention facing a dead-end. He practically skidded to a stop, gasping for air as he turned to face the only way out. He was really hoping it was just Musharna... He might actually be able to get past it.

How cute, how absolutely cute and so very endearing the sight was! Ohhh, if only he had known what pleasure it was to see yourself scared shitless and struggling so desperately to get away from you — perhaps he would have taken advantage of such situations sooner, who knew! Touya definitely wanted to do it again. To taste another’s fear and watch them flinch, no matter what he did. Aah, but look at that! Little Black finally accomplished to give him away, forcing him to stumble backwards as he quickly regained his balance again. His smile widened.
"What do you think you’re doing, huh?" Touya asked, his voice resembling that of a cat’s, right before it attacked its prey. "Do you think you can run away from me?"
…actually, why not? It sounded like a nice game. The knight chuckled. “Very well, go ahead. Run if you dare. But don’t worry, I’ll catch you anyway. ♪”
As soon as he managed to get White away, Touya backed away a few steps, wanting to keep the distance between them. It really didn't help that the other just smiled after he was shoved, like this whole thing was just fun and games. Which it probably was to him... Just not to frightened little Touya. He clenched his fists, already shifting as White practically taunted him.
To be honest? He was tempted to reject the option of running, just because he was told to. Touya was tempted to just fight back, be the first to land a hit before White could. But he wasn't sure he could actually beat the other... And even if it could, what point would it prove?
So, after a moment of consideration, he spun around on his heel and took off at a full sprint. If he couldn't get away from White, at least he could say he tried, right?

Of course it was funny! It was so funny that he nearly couldn’t contain himself as he laughed in his alternate’s face, enjoying the look of fear that slowly spread across his face. And why should I do what you want?” he stated calmly, coldly staring at the brunet and tightening his grip on the scalpel. Was that all he could do? A feeble attempt to shove him away? How pathetic!
"You pathetic excuse, do you really think you can do anything when you’re this scared of me already?" After all, they were sharing the same face. Didn’t that make it even worse? "Try to shove me away. Try and see what will happen.”
Oh, he already had a few things in mind. However he doubted that dear Black would like them in the slightest.
They might have the same face, but Touya had no idea someone who was practically his twin in appearance...could be so drastically different in personality. Of course he's scared of White. Scared for his safety, scared for other reasons... Ones that Touya didn't want to think about. All he knew for sure was that he needed to get out of there, and hope that he never ran into White again.
He was struggling to keep his fear at bay, just long enough to escape from his doppleganger. Touya didn't even think by this point; He just lifted his hands again, this time jerking his head back as he shoved at White as hard as he could. And, even if he wasn't much of a fighter, he definitely wasn't weak physically. He just hoped he could get White to let go, maybe send him down onto the ground so he could run. Hopefully.

How cute. How terribly cute.
Black was getting irritated, he was losing his composure. You could see it in his eyes and the way his fists clenched. Ahh, what a nice sight. Even when he didn’t get the chance to physically toy with someone, it was still such a pleasant sight to see someone writhe under his words! After staying quiet for several minutes, the knight started to laugh out loud, grinning brightly and definitly not like someone speaking of death and killing others.
“You will figure something out, my ass! You are such a fucking hypocrite, Touya. You say that you will do what it takes to save N, but you say that you won’t hurt anyone? Can you spot the mistake?" the brunet called his alternate out on his contradictionary statements before he covered the distance with ease, grabbing him roughly by the chin, while his free hand reached for one of the various scalpels hidden underneath his clothes.
Swirling the blade in his grip, he focused on the other brunet. “Let’s play a game, shall we? I want to see your cute little resolve. Because right now, it’s worth nothing, sweetheart. ♥"
The laughter really didn't help the trainer's frustration. "Stop it!" he snapped. "This isn't funny!" Touya knew just how difficult this whole thing was going to be. He knew that it wasn't going to be easy to save N, or even get Team Plasma's trust. And his double really wasn't helping!
He gritted his teeth when White suddenly grabbed him by the chin, already moving to pull away from him. "Let go...!" He actually felt a small spike of fear when he noticed that the other had pulled out a scalpel, not getting a good feeling about this. He needed to get out of there! "I'm not going to play anything with you!" Touya yelled, his hands reaching up to shove the knight away. "I said let go!"
"H-Haa, yeah… I’ve been kinda busy lately."
"…Busy? Busy with what?"
"Various things. Mostly training, though."

“Then why do you ask such stupid questions, huh? ♪” he laughed in mock cheerfulness while he tilted his head to one side, putting on an actual thoughtful expression as he pondered the situation. Now he had to admit that it was a good question. He only knew that Hypno did follow the orders given to him, so some sort of influence had to be there. Touya doubted that a wild Pokémon would go along with these kind of things, after all it would get tired out and just stop the hypnosis — but it didn’t. From his conversations with both sides of N, the knight had no doubt that the effects were always there; simply varying in strength. “Someone must have caught it, I assume. Whether it was Ghetsis or someone else, I cannot say.” Because he didn’t know. Shrugging weakly, Touya sighed. “And even if I did, as soon as you find something out, your memories just get manipulated into forgetting about it.” Kind of depressing actually, no?
But Black really was so adorably naive, wasn’t he? Thinking that he could get Plasma’s trust after being the enemy for so long. Man, Touya was amazed by so much naivety! “Are you sure that you are willing to pay the consequences?”
“Are you ready to injure people? Are you ready to take Pokémon away from their trainers?” His hazel eyes narrowed as they focused on the boy. “Are you capable of killing someone, Touya? ♥”
Touya grimaced, his double's tone honestly starting to frustrate him. Just...everything he was saying... The fact that he kept pointing out every flaw in his hastily put-together plan really wasn't helping. "I'll figure something out," he insisted, getting more and more irritated.
And then the questions.
"Will you shut up?!" Touya snapped, his fists tightly clenched. "I'm not going to have to kill anyone! Or hurt them! I said I'll figure all of this out, and I will! I'll do what it takes to save N, and then I'll put things right once I do!"
"It’s about time I’ve seen you again~!"
"H-Haa, yeah... I've been kinda busy lately."
