A Soldier that Has Not Laid Down His Arms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSiMG6GuVv4

'Inner conflict. Emotional Turmoil. A sense of Justice, but a Fear to lose himself to anger. A young boy, not yet a man, and yet shouldering all the burdens of one. Yet....he still persists, despite the burdens he carries...' Ventus thought to himself, watching Nathan struggle with his own past traumas as a result of his pointed question, coming to terms with those that sought to harm him....and resolving/resolved himself to punish/have punished them accordingly. Such a conviction, coming from someone who more often than not avoided hard solutions and lashed out at other for choicing to enact them....it came as a surprise to the researcher.

Little by little, as Nathan crystalized thier line in the sand for Ven and themselves, the glacial cold that cloacked the scientist began to thaw. The boy's sudden decision to teach one of the most dangerous Lethal Damage known to his Pokémon caused Ven's eyes to widen in pure shock, arms uncrossing and dropping to his side at the sheer increadibility of the statement. 'Nathan.... is he....is he? Yes, he is. ....He understands what need be done, and is willing to do so despite his reluctance. .....Perhaps I was too quick to judge him as naïve,' the empath thought, the weight of the young trainer's statement and the implications there of weighing down on him like Oversized Forrestress.

A longer period of silence, as both sides contemplated their next move. Then, a sigh, a weary tone of voice following afterwards.

"Well said, Nathan. Well said. We may have differing standard when it comes to what invites extreme measures upon someone, but I can respect yours. ......The question now is, do you respect mine own? I'm willing to eradicate all dare threaten the lives the friend and the family in my care, willing to go to great lengths and fathomless depths to ensure they remain safe and in good health. To pull a threat up by the roots, nip it in the bud, raze and salt the very earth if it means that the one I love shall never suffer a malicious influence forevermore. Protecting others however I can, even I go to extreme to achieve that goal."

"Can you respect those beliefs of mine? I'm not asking you to agree with my morals, Nathan, only if you are willing to respect them, and accept that they are a part of who I am..."
