    Threadmarks: Chapter 38 Together Again

    "The Poison Jab site is healing well," Nurse Joy said, examining the wound along Ryuu's flank. "The new skin is coming in nicely. No signs of infection or scarring." She made a note on her tablet. "But he needs time outside the ball for proper recovery. Fresh air helps the tissue settle. I'd...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 37 Molt a Distraction

    Dr. Matthews: What did you do that day? Theo: Drills. Sparring. Kept moving. Dr. Matthews: Did it help? Theo: For the parts I was actually present for. Nurse Joy's assessment did not take long and Miyato listened to all of it without interrupting. Ryuu was mostly fine. The Poison Jab...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 36 Setbacks

    The medical staff at the Pokémon Center took the ball, asked the necessary questions, and disappeared through the back door. Miyato stood in the waiting area after the handover, hands at his sides, watched the door close, and kept watching it a moment after it had closed. He sat down. The...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 35 Round 3

    Dr. Matthews: John's words keep coming up. What is it about them that stays? Theo: He said I hadn't earned what I have. The anger part I dealt with. What stayed is the part where he talked about building everything himself from nothing. Because I can account for every day of the last few weeks...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 34 The Floor

    Dr Matthews: What do you do when someone challenges who you are? Theo: A trainer at the tournament looked at what I was carrying and decided he knew my whole story. He was wrong about what it meant. Dr Matthews: What was he wrong about? Theo: What I built. These past months. He didn't know...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 33 Arrival

    Dr. Matthews: What does it feel like when someone knows you but you don't know them? Theo: Professor Oak sent me a Pokédex. He knows I exist - knows my name, knows my badge progress, knows enough about me to provide equipment and funding. I know who he is the way I know everything - perfect...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 32 Fun Company

    Dr. Matthews: How do you feel about having someone with you now? Theo: Better than I expected. Worse in different ways. Miyato asks questions about things I know - Pokemon, battle theory, type matchups - and I can answer them immediately and completely. Then if he asks where I'm from or what my...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 31 Outpost

    Dr. Matthews: What does safety feel like after a situation like that? Theo: Strange. We reached the ranger outpost and I should have relaxed but I didn't for hours. My jaw stayed tight, my hand kept going to my Poké Balls even though nothing was wrong. It's like my body didn't believe we'd made...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 30 Execution

    Dr. Matthews: How did you know what to do? Theo: I didn't. I knew Annihilape's capabilities, and I knew what we had available and I knew how those things fit together tactically. But I've never planned a battle against something that could kill us before. The knowledge was there. I just had to...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 29 Vital Spirit

    Dr. Matthews: What do you do when you're scared and someone else is falling apart? Theo: There was a situation and Miyato was panicking and I was scared too. I knew what Annihilape was capable of, I knew the ability interactions, knew the move mechanics, and knew how dangerous the situation...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 28 Walled In

    Dr. Matthews: What happens when your knowledge doesn't help? Theo: I got lost in the forest two days ago. I know the route maps. I know terrain navigation theory. I know which Pokémon inhabit which zones. None of that mattered when I couldn't see the sky and every tree looked like the last one...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 27 Together

    Dr. Matthews: Do you find it easier to understand Pokemon or people? Theo: Pokemon. I know what a Dratini's behavioural patterns mean. I can read those things immediately. But Miyato stutters when he's anxious, and I didn't know what to do with that except wait. People don't come with the same...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 26

    Dr. Matthews: How was your first day on the road? Theo: Nothing went wrong. I kept waiting for something to and it didn't and I didn't know what to do with that. Six weeks of structure and someone checking my decisions - now the schedule is mine and the quiet feels like something I haven't...

    The Blessed Isles bent. Not broke. Across the long dark between defeats, it had learned between its defeats, that the Blessed Isles did not break easily. The ancient concentration of Ultra Space energy woven into their soil and their water and the bones of their mountains had always made them...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 24 Goodbye

    Therapist: How does it feel to leave? Theo: Like I'm losing the only history I have. Six weeks. That's all I can point to. Everything before that is just gone. He woke up early and went to the arena. Just Theo and Zeus and Jupiter in the empty arena at six in the morning, the lights...
