Pallet Town is burning. The sparks sizzle and dance in the air. He can see water pokémon nearby, frantically trying to put out the fire, but it is no use, because the air is dry, the dragons have already sucked every last drop of moisture out, and the drought condition in Kanto is intensified. Wildfires are perfectly normal.

It’s so perfect no one will ever expect it.

He looks at his side, and Lance flashes him a smirk, golden eyes bright. No one will suspect that their precious Champion has allied with the Elite Four.

He grips Lance’s collar, pulling him down by the golden cords wrapped around his throat, and kisses him hungrily. It’s almost like a battle, and battles always make him burn for release.

Lance responds eagerly, and as Pallet Town burns to nothing – his home, he should be concerned, but he is strangely detached – they burn also.
