@thunderstonereject said: Ah, it looks like Kai was ready to go! With a swish of his tail and a flick of his ears the orange mouse tenses the muscles in his hind legs then takes a powerful leap towards his trainer from behind to perch himself on his shoulder. “Raicha!” He squeaks before adjusting his weight properly to make himself and Kai comfortable.
No setback was going to keep them down. Battles were meant to be won & sometimes, you lost a few. Such are the costs of this but like hell if this was going to be enough to put them both down. Thor will never know (unless he could feel it) but Kai needed him more than he did any other pokemon. Don't get him wrong, he RESPECTED each & every teammate on his belt for their hard work & dedication. That being said, when the chips are DOWN ---Thor was the one he knew would pull through. A pokemon he could depend on. A friend who couldn't speak but still managed to articulate his feelings & expressions of joy, worry & friendship in his own way. When the hell did he get so sentimental?
No matter----the weight shifted onto his shoulder but did not knock Kai off his balance. They took a tumble; got smacked around but it wasn't a deterrent. Never was something like that a deterrent. Besides, it'll only be a matter of time before THEY are the ones giving that hard lesson to some other up & coming trainer. A loss is not a loss. Its a lesson. Its a bet. Its a taunt & by god if he wasn't ready to take the bait & show them what they could do.

❛ Minor setback Thor but its alright. They're just delaying their defeat is all. Hope you & the team had your fill of that break. ❜ He pushed his hand to the side hard, flipping his scarf with a force to make it catch in the wind. ❛ Cause this time, we're not stopping until we get to the top. No more slacking. No more excuses. Its now or nothing. You with me? ❜
