Oswald retrieved a greatball from his belt. "Taxi, to me," he ordered, pointing the ball in the direction of his Corviknight, who released a puff of air from his beak that Oswald interpreted as a sigh of relief. The bird was retrieved. Then, he took a moment to consider her question. Of course...

Thanks to Taxi, Oswald had been aware of the other trainer's presence since she entered the sky, and because she seemed to keep her distance and mind herself, he wasn't worried about her. He was flying north, towards what the locals called the Dusty Bowl. He was exploring the wild areas one at...

Boom! Big Tom, the Snorlax, delivered a literally earth shattering Mega Punch into... the ground, missing Warden the Arcanine completely, as it slid out of the way. Tom's punch left a small crater in the ground. Warden answered with a snarling Fire Fang, which dug hotly into Tom's right arm. The...

John stands up. "Think about my offer. I would love to get you out of this place." He pats her on the head in a loving way, mussing up her hair, and takes his leave. He returns back to the base with his food. His cuts are already scabbed over and healing, and his bruises have gone from purple to...

"You press the button, and I will come." He says reassuringly. He knew that he would be gone for the next little while, but maybe she didn't need to know that. He didn't know.

He chuckles and lets her go. "Thank you, but no. It's yours, and, if you want to know, I've paid for it already, so you didn't really steal it either. And, by the way, that was a hug. It's a means of displaying affection or that you care about them."

John looked at her. He was very concerned. He pulled her into an embrace. Given what he had told her, where she lived, and what she had to do, he thought she had never been hugged before. He felt a great sympathy for the child. She was like him in a lot of ways - orphaned and alone. "It's okay...

"John." He said, not feeling like he needed to tell her his full title. "You know, if you need another place to stay, I can arrange that." He said. "It must be bad, living out here. I couldn't do it."

"You press it, and it sends a signal to a device that I have at home. It tells me exactly where you are, and it also tells me which of the buttons was pressed, so I will always know it is you." He said. "What's your name?"

"Because the police know." He says. Yes, there were some things he wanted to hide from the girl, like the fact he had fought a demon and lost, but he also wanted her to know some facets of the real world. "But that doesn't matter." He says. "If you need help, press the button, and you will get...

John chuckles. "This is nothing to worry about little one. Just a couple of scrapes, another day on the job." He says. "How have you been? I thought I told you to press the button if you needed help."

John had bags in his hands. He had already been to the store. He was walking fine now, but his face was still swollen and he was still cut up. The wounds were already healing thanks to the tonic Lawrence gave him. He sat down beside her, and took out this time an Italian sub and gave it to her...

"I've known everyone else for less. Like I said, you're the only one I know. I can't leave the city defenseless, not with what's going on." He hears the radio. "I'm gonna go check that out. I've gotta get some food for the next couple of days anyways. I'll see ya in a bit, I suppose." He takes...

"While I'm gone, crime won't stop. Oni and his gang, plus whatever group was robbing the bank and collecting human blood won't stop. You're the only capable person I know and trust." He takes Strong's pager out of his pocket and gives it to her. "This is Strong's pager. The police will alert you...

"I suppose." Just then, the entrance opens. It's the bartender, Lawrence. He is holding a mug with a light violet liquid in it. He hands it to John. "Thanks." John says, before downing the beverage in one gulp. He stands of straight for the first time since the fight with Oni. He turns to...

Just then, there is a ding of notification that comes from the computer. "John, Strong has received an e-mail." Vel says. "Please, open the e-mail." The screen fills with a note. It read: "John Wagner, we have been watching you. You seem very capable, like your mother and father. We know what...

The wall closes back up behind them, and, once they get to the bottom of the stairs, they are greeted by a very large single room. Across from them, alight and in a glass case, is Captain Strong's suit, its blue and yellow popping against the darker other parts of the room. John flips on a light...

The bartender sized John up, evaluating his wounds. "I can fix up a philter that'll clear this right up." He said. "Free for you, of course." John clenched his fists. "Yeah, thanks Rocky." The bartender was old, but much older than he seemed. His hair still had its deep brown color, and he had...
