Seventh Sacrament: Challenge
Who: Walter, Wrath & Envy
Where: Ecruteak City
When: Monday, 20th Feb
Summary: To reach a truce, Envy's challenged Walter to a Pokemon Battle! Wrath is their ref/middle man.
Rating: Standard Pokemon violence
Log:
Walter waited outside the Pokemon Centre, letting the wind brush his hair from his face. This was the time and the place he and Envy had agreed to meet for their Pokemon battle, with Wrath present as a 'neutral party'. This was meant to be an exercise in trust. Proof that neither of them would attack the other. But Walter didn't trust Envy. And he couldn't be sure whether Wrath's loyalties would protect him...or if Wrath was more loyal to Envy and would betray him. He had prepared for this meeting. Checked for ways he could escape if things went south.
He mentally went over the location of the six Pokemon he'd brought with him. Assumption stood beside him, tense and breathing deeply. He was nervous, just as Walter was, but determined to do this. Reed and Psyche were out of sight, watching the events from above. They were only to show themselves and intervene if something went wrong. Joseph, Chaos and Doll were in their pokeballs, ready to fight if need be. The others he had left at home; they were either underleveled to be fighting this battle or he hadn't wanted to expose them to this situation. Darkness was the stand out; he had made it clear that he wouldn't be involved in this battle. Just as well; if Envy called upon Lyra, Walter knew Darkness would oppose to any of his Pokemon attacking her.
"Soon, Assumption. Soon." He murmured, an echo of what seemed like so long ago when he had whispered those words to a happy, bouncing Cubone who had been eager to see his friends. Assumption nodded solemnly.

"I told you I wasn't going to cheat, didn't I?"
And...well, Walter hadn't either, even when he'd been losing badly. There had been no sudden attack while he was distracted with the fight, Assumption hadn't flung his club into Chimera's face after the battle had ended. Hopefully it will stay that way, but Envy's not going to relax until this is completely over.
Chimera isn't paying attention to Wrath--his focus on Assumption has increased dramatically. Not trying to protect himself had never been his own trainer's problem as much as ability to had. He rumbles again, thoughtfully.
"Losing still does not make you weak, or a failure, and your trainer was in no danger from mine. But, hmm, I...understand how you feel. Maybe we could talk?"

Walter nodded to Wrath. He was still wary but currently, things had worked out well. He was very glad Wrath hadn't tried to hurt him. That would've been...not unexpected, but sad. He kept an eye on Assumption as he went to talk with Envy's Pokemon however. He wouldn't understand their conversation, but he could gauge Assumption's mood. He folded his arms.
"I'm glad you didn't bring Lyra. Darkness would've been extremely unhappy with me, if I had to fight her."

Everybody here seemed much nicer than the humans in his own world.
In any case, Wrath just seems happy that it all went off without a hitch.
"Yes, but you do cheat sometimes, Envy. I've seen it. I'm very proud of you, that you didn't."
He shoots Walter a GIANT grin, as if to say 'See?'
