[Oh, another challenger so soon. He stopped counting after his fifth one. When he lifts his gaze to the new challenger he stares. Why is he on the ground? Why didn't he stand up and send out his first Pokémon?
Let's see...who to start out with. ...it didn't matter. He loses anyway. No need to start right away right? He ponders while gazing at the Poké Ball he doesn't remember taking out, in his hand.]
... ...hey. Challenger. Are you just going to lie there?
... It's... nnnot worth c-calling a life... B-Battle, die, battle, die.... A-Again and again, over and o-over...
[His entire "life" for the past... However many years it's been... Has been a cycle. Dragged to a gym, battle. Dragged to a lab, death. Rinse and repeat. He doubts the bruises on his arms will ever fade. He knows the scars on his everywhere never will.]
[Pretty much the same for him. Granted the dying part was all of his doing. So they kept him busy by shoving challengers he could bother to remember their faces of. None of them had been either clones of Cassian or Taniyah or Red anyway - ]
...so tired. ...I wanted to die. ...but they kept bringing me back...didn't want to stay here. Didn't want to...just wanted Taniyah and Cassian and Red-...
[He ducks his head down, once realizing tears collecting again. It's been so long since he last slept or wait did he sleep again? Was this a dream? Can't remember. Can't remember...]
[He doesn't respond verbally to him, but places his forehead against Red's. He was here, and...real? He didn't know but he was here. Here, here, here - ]
...here too. ...I'm here too...so don't leave again.
... Th-they... They won't find me...? [He's asking you, begging you to make this true. Maybe he's uncovered a faded scrap of hope. Maybe he just needs to say it so he doesn't lose his mind entirely.]
[He's repeating the question. Would they? Would they find Red and take him away from him again? No. No it can't happen. It won't happen. Not if this was his dream. Even if it wasn't he didn't want to let go of Red.]
...no. ...no won't let them. Won't let them take you away.
[Red settles into Pidgeot's feathers a bit more then. He can trust you. He can trust you and you'll get him free... He can live again. Finally. Finally. At long last.]
[Blue will just continue holding Red, but a little loosely than earlier.]
...too. ...Missed you too. ....missed all of you...wouldn't let me even see either of your clones...had to battle trainers. Again and again and again...
[He had no life left, without Taniyah or Cassian or Red--but finally, finally, finally Red was here, with him. Reaching down he tries to stroke Red's hair with his horribly scarred hand.]
... [He makes a sort of agreeable grunt, and then lets his eyes close. He's not sure if he's sleeping or not. He still feels the wind... But his body relaxes.]
[Red's going to sleep for a long, long time. A long, deep sleep. The kind of sleep he hasn't gotten in... Years. He doesn't even know how long. Probably not since before he first escaped the Project.]

[Fortunately, Blue, today you've won the grand prize. This isn't a dream. Your old friend is here, right here with you. Hurt. Broken. But here.]

[He's always in pain, all the time. There is no relief. There is no hope. There is no escape. Until now.]

... ...should sleep, Red. ...sleep...

No. He can't. He'll just remain awake for the ride and watch Red sleep. This could all be a dream, and he didn't want to lose Red again.]
