BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹FINAL ACT | PERFECT PLANNING🌹

All of the four people sat around the fire silently waiting for the moment to sink as Brendon held a pokeball between his fingers throwing it up and down waiting for the silence to break.. He looked at everyone thinking about something as the sun went down.. Silver.. His record was neither good nor bad.. He wasn't evil like Giovanni and hated him.. If anything, he was just chaotic guy..

Fom what Brendan recalled from reading the case study about silver, he was abandoned by Giovanni for losing to Red and not living upto his expectations.. And that was one of the main reasons of his hate for Giovanni.. Much less, he killed Arianna too.. For Silver it didn't mattered but in the end she was someone he could call family.. She was the one who prevented anyone from rocket to go after Silver.. Be it Petrel, Proton or anyone..

A sigh escaped his lips.. Every child deserve a parent but no every parent deserve a child.. Giovanni wanted a heir who would live upto his expectations and nothing else..

"I thought you told it was just two of us.. Not that i mind as long as I get Clair back.." Ash opened his eyes after a little silence as Silver looked at him..

"We need help.." Lance answered without opening his eyes placing his hand in front of the fire thinking about something.. Help? Then there were more than enough people, stronger too..

"Wouldn't Diantha and Cynthia would have been more than enough help.." He asked as Lance opened his eyes finally looking at him.. He was right, in term of firepower they were unbeatable. But there is always more to a battle than just firepower. A battle isn't only of power but wits..

"They would have been but do you want to risk their life yet again.. The incidence at tree of beginning shook most of them.." Lance asked as Ash looked at the fire with the flames reflecting upon his brown eyes.. He lightly shook his head getting impatient of all the waiting but it could result in greater problem if he did anything alone now.. Risk life, then what were other two doing here..

"When a person ask for help in a life death situation they are basically asking the other person to commit suicide with them.." Silver circled his fingers around the dirt raising his eyes to meets Ash..

"You mean.. You are ready to risk your life over someone you barely know.. What if it is just you are another one of his spy.." His eyes gazed into Silver's emotionlessly as Brendan looked between the two people..

"You must be mistaken then, i know Miss Clair.." Silver said as Ash raised an eyebrow at the reveal.. Maybe it was expected, Clair worked with Looker on finding Giovanni in Johto.. Or was it just that?

"He stole the rising badge from Clair when he was a trainer.." Lance answered looking at the notebook and pen in his hand as Brendan snickered out a little..

"I returned it back.." He bit back at the owner of G-men taking a deep breath.. Those were dark times..

"Anyway back to the topic in our hand.. I am risking my life for something personal... As long as I see Giovanni dead at my feet, I don't care about anything else.." His voice was firm, just like his resolve..

"What about you Brendan? Why risk your life over someone you don't know?" Ash's question diverted the Hoenn native's attention toward him as he tied his laces thinking about something.. His answer was rather simple filled with hero complex.. But a good hero complex not wanting recognition.. Just helping people in need..

"Rangers save people indiscriminately Ash.. About risking life.. The day one take oath to be a ranger is the day you get ready to lay your life for your region.. I am ready for it.." He said nonchalantly poking a stick into the fire as its tip caught the flames.. He slowly pulled it toward him looking at it..
