Josh takes a few steps forward, hand outstretched, before stopping suddenly. Adia seems hurt and his sudden movement would only upset the Pokemon further. Anger is swelling up in his body, and he spins quickly on one heel, coming face to face with the trainer.
"What are you going to do?" There's a smug expression on his face, as if taunting Josh.
He turns to look at the Pokemon and Adia starting to leave, too much is happening at once and he immediately feels overwhelmed with rage. He wants to turn around and clock the trainer with his fists, but instead his eyes rest on a stack of Pokeballs on a nearby shelf.
Driven by his emotions, mostly negative ones, he reaches for a yellow and black painted Pokeball, clutching it tightly in his hand. It isn't just this moment that's angering him, it's a cumulative stack of issues. His family being unwelcoming. John's cancer worsening. Being hated by the few people he's let into his life.
But Adia is different. And he wants to show her that he can be someone different.
The Pokeball is thrown at an alarming speed, grazing past the boy's face and causing the anti-violence field to spark for a brief second. The target is the Deino, who's back to munching away at the food, unaware of the orb being hurled at him. The anti-violence field lacks an interaction with the Poke'ball, given the device's composition and lack of actually hitting the Pokemon. Instead of being deflected, the Pokemon disappears into the ball with a flash of red light, landing back onto the tile floor.
It shakes violently, then slowly comes to a rest.
The trainer is dumbfounded at what just happened, and to be fair, Josh is standing there with a blank expression on his face.
"...That worked?" He glances around to see if Adia left or not. Did she see what he did? Or will she be coming back to a much bigger surprise?
