“Only way I battle as an adult. Hmmm….No limit, but to remember, that applies if I win as well! Let’s step into the gym, and show our best stuff, misty!” He had his team ready, pumped up and rearing to go all out! 

MALD and DAMP will be his choices. His Slowbro and Dracovish will be his choices for battle. What she will pick, he does not know. 

          “Oh, I don’t plan on losing, kid.” She led the way into the gym. As she took her place at the head of the arena, she turned and her hand hovered two of her pokemon. “I haven’t battled just for fun in a while, so I plan on going on all out.”

     Usually, her go to were Starmie and Gyarados, but those were for official battles. Battles where the outcome was typically in the favor of the opponent -- unless they rubbed her the wrong way, of course. This time she would be using her Quagsire and Jellicent. “Challenger always gets first move.”

“Okay, okay~ Though, truth be told, I do already got a cascade badge when I battled daisy and her seal years ago. I wanna battle you for a good memory~ So let’s wager somethin’ else. Loser buys the winner lunch. How’s that sound?” He says, thinking over what he has before his pokemon, opening his bag as he swaps out his pokemon into his PC real quick. He wanted to do water vs water pokemon. 

“So, misty. You agree? If you do, set the rules. Let’s go wild~”

          “So... you wanna battle me, just for fun?” A slow smirk spread across her face as she subconsciously cracked the knuckles on her right hand. “Okay, okay. I’m game. And lunch anywhere? No price limit, or did you wanna tell me how much you’re willing to spend once I win?”

“Ehh? Oh, I thought it was a good nickname! Cause you know…orange hair. And the ponytail looks like a carrot sticking in the ground.” He says, pointing at it as he scratches the side of his cheek. Maybe he should not have said that last part. 

“What, don’t like it?”

          “No, I don’t like it. Please refrain from using it from here on out, thanks.” Maybe she shouldn’t have worn her hair up. It was just easier to deal with, especially on swim days, when it wasn’t all in her face. Though there was always a pang of nostalgia whenever she did put her hair up. It reminded her of her travelling days. “So do you want to try for the badge, or not?”

[cascadiian]

“People we’re trying to say cucumbers dipped in milkshakes were tasty.”

          “Gross.”

viceflame​:

“The way you talk so highly about it means you care about it, got pride in it. It’s great to see in a gym leader! Vice Daemon’s my name. If you want to have a battle sometime, I’d love to see how my water pokemon can fair against a specialist.”  His memory of battling daisy was not very easy to remember, but battling the most skilled of the cerulean gym would be a nice memory to have. 

“So, what you say, carrot-top?”

          “Well, duh. What kind of gym leader would I be if I didn’t care about my own gym? The answer is, I’d be a crappy one.” Shaking her head, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes once more. Obviously she was proud of her gym. “I’m Misty, but you knew that, I guess. I can’t really say no to a challenge eith----

     Excuse me? What did you call me?”

[cascadiian]

viceflame​:

“You must be…Misty, then. You are a new face for the gym leader, leas’ back when daisy and they ran it. Now they were pretty easy.” Granted, that was years ago for him. Runnin’ through cerulean for a job, he hadn’t expected to run into the orange tomboy of cerulean, least by rumors saying. 

          “Ugh, don’t even get me starter on that fiasco. I left for a couple months and they almost ran this place into the ground. It took me, I dunno how long get us back up and working again.” Her arms were crossed over her chest as she rolled her eyes. She was just glad that they had surrendered the gym back over to her so easily.

[cascadiian]

          “I am sick and tired of all these little kids marching on up in here thinking that I’m an easy win because I’m a water type specialist. Literally all day today. Ugh.”

[cascadiian]

@cascadiian  ♡  for a mr.  green oak  !

               it isn’t often that he gets to visit the gym leaders back in kanto,  not when he’s traveling the world so much.  there are many pokemon out there for him to see   ———   almost  too  many,  and he can’t possibly have all the time to research on each one of them.  but kanto is his  HOME,  the one place he can visit over and over to rid himself of the homesickness.  

               there’s one gym leader in particular that he wants to check up on today.  he often calls her  MERMAID,  if he’s in a good mood,  or  QWILFISH,  if he’s looking to annoy her.  unfortunately,  right now,  he has this massive urge to annoy her.

               ❝   hey,  QWILFISH,  you’ll get a  stroke  swimming under this heat,   ❞   he snickers out,  once he’s reached the edge of the pool,  careful not to  accidentally  slide into the water.  he’s too lazy to change clothes,  and being  soaked  isn’t exactly under his agenda right now.   ❝   have some water before you faint,  little mermaid,  or you’re going to leave me worried.   ❞

               with a grin,  he hands her a bottle of water he bought before he arrived at the gym.   ❝   how’s life treating ya,  misty  ?   good,  i hope.  are you taking a vacation every now and then  ?   you look a little stressed.  are those  WRINKLES  i see  ?   ❞

          She was busy. Of course she was, she was a gym leader. The morning was filled with back to back battles. New trainers seemed to be popping out of the woodwork left and right, one right after the other. Usually, Misty didn’t mind because it kept her occupied and perfectly distracted, but today... well, they created some technical difficulties in the gym. After the last battle (a particularly fierce trainer with an all electric team), the lights in the pool had cracked, and thus created an unsafe arena. So now she had to fix them before the next battle.

     Breaking the surface after being underwater for way too long, Misty took in the biggest breath she’d ever taken before before swimming to the edge of the pool and resting her arms on the deck. She was feeling lightheaded, but at least she was done. For a minute, all she could hear was the water moving gently behind her in the wake she’d left as she’d surfaced. It was nice. It was quiet. It was peaceful, but then. But then.

     She could feel her eye physically twitch --- she almost didn’t want to turn around. 

     It wasn’t so much that it was him, just the words coming out of his mouth. She watched him through narrowed eyes as he approached oh so nonchalantly. The redhead stared up at Green holding out a bottle of water. 

     “Tch, thanks.” She took the water from him, uncapping it and practically inhaling the liquid. “We can’t all be as carefree as you, Green.”

     Misty crushed the bottle --- easier to recycle --- and popped herself out of the pool, perching right on the edge. Legs still dangled in the water as she leaned back on her hands. 

     “I’ll let those comments slide just because I haven’t seen you in a minute. What have you been up to, kid?”

as a child, misty was pigeon toed. over time, and because of her ballet, the problem self corrected itself. since she’s stopped dancing as much as she used to, occasionally she’ll stand with her toes  pointed inward. it’s not resurfacing, but it’s just a  habit from when she was little.

          She’d left Cerulean City as soon as Nurse Joy had alerted her. 

     The Nurse Joy from One Island had called her local Nurse to tell her there was an injured Gyarados beached on the shore of the island. Misty had all but dropped everything she’d been doing and set off to help. Despite withdrawing her Swanna from the PC and flying to Vermillion City to take the ferry, it took her hours to finally step foot on the isolated island. She just hoped that it wasn’t too late to help.

     As soon as she was off the ferry, Misty ran to the Pokemon Center where Nurse Joy was already waiting for her. While they headed toward the stranded Gyarados, Nurse Joy filled Misty in on everything they knew so far --- the Gyarados had gotten into a fight with another and was thrown onto shore, too far for it to help itself. The nurse said she already had someone helping, too, however Misty wasn’t expecting to recognize this person.

     “You..?” She paused momentarily upon seeing who it was that was lending a helping hand. It had been a while since she’d last seen the Pallet Town trainer, and Leaf had last mentioned that he’d practically gone AWOL. Though she was caught a little off guard, she didn’t have time to think much about it. The thrashing Gyarados roared as soon as it realized more humans were arriving.

     "Nurse Joy, I need Blissey to use Sing so that the Gyarados’ll be easier to handle.” She turned to the trainer. “What Pokemon do you have on hand? Do you have any one that could help us when we need to move it?”

too cold. | jupiter & misty |

@cerestiial  

          Unless there was a beach involved, Misty was not one to travel willingly. She had her fill of travelling when she was young, and now she was just too tired. Unfortunately, being part of the Indigo League meant having to travel occasionally. She’d received the memo the month prior, and thus had had that entire time to mentally prepare herself for the inevitable trip. She’d asked Nurse Joy to check in on the Pokemon while she was gone, set up the Gone Fishing sign, and locked the front doors before heading off on her business trip.

     Next stop? Sinnoh.

     It wasn’t that she hated the region, but it definitely wasn’t her favorite. She always had to be careful because one wrong turn, and she’d end up some place where the already cold Sinnoh climate shifted to freezing. Even when prepared, Misty wasn’t one to handle any kind of cold weather. Luckily, they had her staying in Sunyshore City, but even then the breezes were too much. So who could blame her when she’d settled in front of the fireplace in the local PokeCenter.

     However, just because anyone that knew the gym leader understood what she was going through, didn’t mean anyone else did. Eventually, she got tired of all the looks she was getting from the local residents already accustomed to the weather. Rather than ignore the stares, her brow twitched and she scowled at the stranger.

     “What?!”

cascade badge? | dawn & misty |

@platinumgaze

          There were days that the stream of trainers walking through the front doors of the Cerulean City Gym were nonstop. Then, there were days that there was nothing but downtime. This was one of those days. Actually, it had been one of those weeks. The first couple of days hadn’t been too bad, but as the streak of empty days continued the more restless the gym leader became. 

     The back tank had been cleaned, and the Pokemon that needed treatment had been taken to Nurse Joy next door for check ups, and now there was nothing left to do until dinner. And so, she decided now was the best time for a swim. Shedding her top layer of clothing, the ginger walked off the deck and plummeted into the deep end of the pool. She could spend minutes upon minutes submerged in the chlorinated water without issue, however since the gym was technically still open for the day, Misty didn’t want someone to walk in and think the place was being left unattended. Team Rocket had long since disbanded, but that didn’t make her any less cautious. 

     She allowed another minute or two to pass before popping up on the opposite side of the pool. Lo and behold, it was a good thing she did because just as she broke surface, a young woman was halfway to the door that led to the back of her Gym. “You must’ve come in as soon as I went under--!”

     Misty hoisted herself onto the poolside, allowing her legs to remain in the water. "What can I do for you?”

[cerxlean]

years of submerging herself in chlorinated waters has left misty’s eyesight a little less than 100 %.

she far from blind, but she has trouble seeing things that are pretty distanced. like, street signs across the road can be blurry to her unless she squints very hard. reading can give her headaches, too.

because of this, misty carries around a pair of glasses with her almost everywhere. if she’s not wearing them they’ll be in her bag, purse, backpack, etc.

self care. | leaf & misty |

@ethnosphered 

          It wasn’t often that Misty took time off for herself. What with taking care of the Pokemon, watching over the Gym, and battling almost every single trainer that stepped foot into the building, her day was usually nonstop from morning all the way until bedtime. She’d count herself lucky if she found the time to stop and eat, but today would be different. Burn out was a condition that affected many trainers, and she was no exception. She’d pushed herself too far, and as days went by she found it harder and harder to even get out of bed.

     In a desperate attempt to unwind, she moved all of her upcoming battles up and knocked them all out in one day. Honestly, not a great idea because at least 70% of the trainers that day walked out with a Cascade Badge, but she needed this and there was no way she would have cancelled on the poor kids. So, as soon as the last trainer left the Gym, she shut the doors and locked them from the inside. Letting out a breath, she turned and dove headfirst into her pool. 

     She had not only the rest of the afternoon free, but also the entire next day. The gym leader broke surface and swam to the edge of the pool where she had her things. She reached for her phone and shot a quick text. 

     ‘Hey, if you’re free I have food and facemasks.’
