He knew what he was doing was completely absurd; it was a miracle that he was not reduced to atoms the instant that it woke up. The young noble could hear his heart trying to jump out of his chest. Could the Hydreigon hear it too? It probably could. He had the dragon's full attention, its cold gaze pierced through him. There was not a chance that he could get away now, not after he woke up the sleeping beast. Fear gripped him tightly and yet, he put up a strong front. Basil never broke eye contact with it because if he was going to die then at least he would look at it in the face. Something told him that he only had one chance. Better make it count. He cleared his throat as if he was trying to clear out a potential scream. [color=8882be]"My apologies for my rudeness. I woke you up and demanded to speak with you without even introducing myself. My name is Basil Rivens, a Pokemon Trainer. Ms. Lesley brought me here after I asked her to,"[/color] he explained to the Hydreigon. Basil made sure to watch its body language for any sign of aggravation. The last thing he wanted was to test the patience of something classified as the Brutal Pokemon. Quickly, the noble followed up. [color=8882be]"I'm not going to insult your intelligence. You've probably figured out why she brought me here, but I promise I mean no harm to you or your children. All I seek is your permission to ask your kids if any one of them would like to join me on my journey."[/color] Basil's hands balled up and he could feel his nails dig into his skin. It was all he could do to keep himself from shaking like a Whismur. Maybe the Hydreigon knew already. [color=8882be]"But I understand that you don't trust me. We humans really haven't had a good track record with dragon-types, have we? You probably were around for it, what Team Amethyst did. You witnessed it all, and you hate them and the others who were just as culpable."[/color] There was a slight pause. Something swelled inside of him. [color=8882be]"I hate them too,"[/color] he said with a firm anger. It was hard for him not to be considering the island was a testament to the greed of men. It wasn't just a fire in his eyes, but the desire to rip and tear everything. [color=8882be]"I hate what they did the region, to its Pokemon, and I hate that there are those who still have yet to have been punished for their hand in the destruction they brought. And yet, it is a legacy that we have no choice, but to inherit as a noble and I have to live with that guilt. Coming to this island has only reinforced that, but it reinforced something else."[/color] Basil finally returned its glare with his own. He didn't even know why he was venting at this thing. Maybe because it was essentially a stranger and that made it easier to talk or maybe a possible near-death experience just made him not really care anymore. [color=8882be]"I need to be better. That's why I'm even on this journey. Coward as I am, I will be better, and I will be a trainer that can make things right. You can bet on it."[/color] Well, now that overly long tirade was done. Basil continued to hold his ground with the dragon though it was self-evident that he was no longer afraid of it considering he stared it down in the most intense staring contest he's ever had.
