River please- child why are you texting Thunder.

>DAD'S FUCKING TINY NOW

>WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT HE'S SMALLER THAN ME NOW

>AND HE'S CHASING ME AADNEJNCF-

Thunder looked away from the document that he was skimming over as soon as he heard the notification from his phone, picking it up and reading it. Oh. The PokéHuman couldn't help but laugh, before typing in their response.

>I'm assuming you're at the office? Because this is something I have to see

Seems it was time to visit Gale again.

The child sliiiides in, waving at the other cheerfully, skipping towards Thunder.

"Welcome back! Dad is- definitely in his room." They go :]

Thunder smiled, it full of both glee and mischievousness, which looked somewhat odd on them.

"Well, then that's where I'm going."

He gently pat River's head, heading to Gale's room.

River snorts. Head pat was appreciated.

As usual the door is unlocked. Gale wasn’t much for locking it anyway. But he is… well obviously not in plain sight he’s having a gay panic and trying to hide.

He walked in, starting to look around for the temporarily smaller man, a somewhat mischievous smile on their face.

"Oh, Gale? Where are you, hm?"

Maybe the closet? It'd be somewhat ironic if that did end up being the case. Thunder walked over the the closet, opening it.

C'mon Gale's a bit smarter than that. Though his phone is perched in sight in there. Seems if Thunder had decided to text him again he wouldn't want it going off.

Persistent.

Well there's still the bed, the bathroom, and the... balcony.

Thunder chuckled when they noticed the phone, a small smile forming on cloud's face. Smart. Well, the bathroom seemed like a good bet, but he wanted to check all of the room before going anywhere else, lest Gale take that as a chance to run away to another place in the house. So, they closed the closet, leaning down and looking under the bed.

Nope nothing there. :P

At least he’s aware of the obvious places to not hide. That’s something for sure.

He made sure to close both the closet door and the door into the room, just in case. So, either the bathroom or the balcony then. It'd be easier to check the bathroom first, all things considered. So, the PokéHuman made his way to the bathroom door, testy=ing to see if the door was locked.

Nope. Opens with ease. And if he took a look around he'd see that- well every spot was visible. Heck the shower curtain was open to the bath tub. He's not in here it seems.

Cam awkwardly shuffles through his wallet, counting how much money she had. Great... good...

"You think this is enough to buy lunch and some extra supplies, Moonlight?"

The eevee nods, smiling. Cam chuckles softly, looking up and simply pausing for a moment.

"I should probably call Lila.... huh?" Moonlight facepalms slightly, nodding.

Apollo walked out of a nearby store, absentmindedly putting the items it just bought into her backpack. They patted Joltik's head gently as she did, before looking up. Huh, that guy was as tall as them. That wasn't something that usually happened. Wait shit that's a Pokémon that's a Pokémon trainer they were about to fight weren't they. Well. At least he bought potions.

Damn. She was not expecting to make direct eye contact with anoyone today. Lucky to his size normally it wasn't that hard but finding someone that is the EXACT SAME HEIGHT AS YOU- it's kinda rare. When you're short at least. Moonlight awkwardly chuckles.

"Uh.... hi?" Smooth start. Yeah they glance at Moonlight, raising an eyebrow as if to say 'you wanna fight em?'. Moonlight nods. If they were going to battle she'd prefer to do it.

Well. Definitely about to have a Pokémon battle then, shit. Apollo put his hand in their pocket, pulling out a familiar PokéBall. The only one she had, since the rest were caught with heal balls.

"Looks like you're up, Tox. Have fun-"

With a flash of light, Toxtricity appeared, looking at Moonlight and Cam, then at Apollo, and then back to the two. Ah. Alright.

Her expression is somewhat apologetic as Moonlight hops off his shoulder and onto the ground.

This was not what blue had been expecting today but oh well. Shaking their head they shove the wallet she had back into his pocket.

“You know what to do, Moonlight.”

Toxtricity stepped forward, straightening itself up. Apollo smiled slightly. Well, let's get this over with.

"Tox, use Discharge."

Cam takes a determined Stance. This wasn't gonna be an easy battle but they were all for it. Even though this was not planned.

"Protect."

Uh- a n y w a y time skip? ndwjcnv Idk

[ Considering we already settled who wins, yeh- ]

Well, that was a bit harder than he'd thought it'd be, but she and its friends managed to pull through. The contest winner pulled out some max revives from her bag, using some for punkself.

"You got healing items there?"

Cam lets out some soft laughter. That was…. H a r d. The trainer wasn’t used to such a loss but they weren’t throwing a fit or anything. Currently he’s patching up Mudsdale and s-sir???? How are you moving it’s limbs with hardly any effort? It’s still out cold….

She looks up.

“Huh? Oh yeah I-I do. Haha. Sorry bout all this I- wasn’t expecting to meet anyone I could make direct eye contact with.”

Blue stands up momentarily to pull out their wallet.

“Uh how much do I owe you for the battle?”

This was gonna cut into his lunch but eh. They’ve gone days without eating before.

‘Cam…..’

“Moonlight do not look at me like that-“

‘Cam you better fucking e a t’

“….. I’ll be fine.”

Apollo blinked, processing that for a few seconds. Huh. Maybe a PokéHuman? Blue didn't look it, but in all fairness, neither did she. Punk was brought out of their thoughts by the other's words, shaking his head.

"Eh, whatever you can spare, really."

Magma was golden with money, given how many contests it'd won recently. Besides, he did overhear that conversation, which left her earlier questions answered. Too public of a place to tell the other that, though.

"Wanna go get lunch together? You seem like a pretty nice person."

And then Apollo could covertly buy blue a meal. Punk patted the small Joltik in their hair, watching the little creature scurry about.

Cam just nods at first, pulling out about- Idk maybe 3,000 poke dollars. Before looking mildly surprised by the other's offer.

"I- No no I'm fine I wouldn't want to trouble you anymore than I have already-" 'Cam.'

'Moonlight I swear-'

......

"Damnit"

( @catch-em-all-fnf *casually yeets you a Lemon*)

:/

Well he wasn't too positive of what he had expected. Nervously laughing as the wild Onyx chases him out the cave.

"HAHAHAHHA HEY HEY 'M SORRY C'MON EEK-"

Well that was close. The Onyx stops following once the other was out the cave and back onto the road. Lemon heaves a sigh.

"I need to remember what not to do in caves...."

Well. He was not expecting for a person to walk out quite yet. Oops. Apollo looked at the other from their spot... Of playing uno with her friends. Toxtricity looked up from its cards, noticing Lemon as well.

"Uh.... Are you good...?"

Fuck, was this awkward.

"Eh from Pokemon yeah. I don't.... talk to others much. I was a solo kinda guy for most of my early thousands. And still try to keep close to as little due to entitled pricks n the like. But it's whatever."

Houndoom and Arcanine nuzzle them gently, who in turn laughs.

"Jeez guys 'm ok."

Ya know best not to think about how he's handled.... death of a loved one if he's immortal.

She understood that, from how much they moved around. Better not to get attached to the temporary, and even though they couldn't comprehend it in the magnitude that the other meant, punk could relate, somewhat.

"No, I get it. Kinda hard to get attached to things when you know you're going to outlive them, or end up leaving them behind in some way."

He shrugs a bit with a nod, a bit nonchalant.

“Yeah. But ya know- just make the most of the years. Ya never know when something exciting might happen. Ya know?”

Apollo nodded, a smile forming on magma's face. Now that's something else they could relate to, that was for sure.

"Yeah, I understand. What happens happens."

Lemon nods with a soft laugh.

"Yeah. For better or worse? Ya just gotta wait n see really."

River please- child why are you texting Thunder.

>DAD'S FUCKING TINY NOW

>WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT HE'S SMALLER THAN ME NOW

>AND HE'S CHASING ME AADNEJNCF-

Thunder looked away from the document that he was skimming over as soon as he heard the notification from his phone, picking it up and reading it. Oh. The PokéHuman couldn't help but laugh, before typing in their response.

"Wait- conte-"

His eyes light up for a second.

"HSNJWNXD I'M SO STUPID YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR TO ME AND I WAS WONDERING-"

He covers his mouth.

"Sorry sorry just cfbrvhfg I watched a few of your performances- xdmscd loved em."

Apollo snorted, before starting to outright laugh, a smile on her face.

"You've watched some of the contests I've been in? Small world. To be fair, I've been part of a lot of them, so it'd have been hard not to spot me every now and then."

At the compliment, he smiled, patting Tox's head.

"Well, it was a team effort. These fools do so much."

There was so much affection in magma's tone

He smiles softly. Nodding a bit.

"You all do wonderfully. Your passion translates beautifully into what you do."

Umbreon nods... before hoping onto Lemon's head. The large pokemon doesn't look too phased by it though.

“…Thanks. It’s really nice for it to be appreciated. We don’t really like Pokémon battles for… Obvious reasons, but it’s nice to do something together like that.”

Tox nodded, patting Apollo’s shoulder affectionately. Obstagoon, who’d chosen to be quiet throughout the entire conversation, simply nodded along, smiling.

“Ah I get that.... battling isn’t for everyone and most make it out to be a sport...” Houndoom simply leans against Lemon.

“But it’s nice to see that perspective is changing... little by little. Man I am so glad you did not see the older times... wasn’t pretty I can say the from experience.” He shudders.

“Ah but no matter about that. Just keep doing you, ya know?”

The PokéHuman blinked, head tilting curiously.

"... No offense, but how old are you?-"

She hadn't really heard anyone talk like that, so it sufficed to say that it was interested. At his last sentence, magma smiled, nodding.

"Wasn't planning on changing that."

They pause. Looking upwards, trying to count on their fingers.

"..... What year is it?"

He nods a bit at the last response with a smile.

"... Now that's a question- It's currently 2022 though."

Something told her that it was about to get a response that would be... Really surprising.

“Ah.”

He starts counting again.

“Ok I’m gonna fudge it. ‘M 5 years younger than Arceus themself.”

He shrugs with a grin.

"You know what? Taking you at your word with that one."

She had the decency to try not to look too shocked, but that was far easier said than done.

"Man, I'm so much younger than you, but I bet you must get that a lot."

"Eh from Pokemon yeah. I don't.... talk to others much. I was a solo kinda guy for most of my early thousands. And still try to keep close to as little due to entitled pricks n the like. But it's whatever."

Houndoom and Arcanine nuzzle them gently, who in turn laughs.

"Jeez guys 'm ok."

Ya know best not to think about how he's handled.... death of a loved one if he's immortal.

Cam awkwardly shuffles through his wallet, counting how much money she had. Great... good...

"You think this is enough to buy lunch and some extra supplies, Moonlight?"

The eevee nods, smiling. Cam chuckles softly, looking up and simply pausing for a moment.

"I should probably call Lila.... huh?" Moonlight facepalms slightly, nodding.

Apollo walked out of a nearby store, absentmindedly putting the items it just bought into her backpack. They patted Joltik's head gently as she did, before looking up. Huh, that guy was as tall as them. That wasn't something that usually happened. Wait shit that's a Pokémon that's a Pokémon trainer they were about to fight weren't they. Well. At least he bought potions.

Damn. She was not expecting to make direct eye contact with anoyone today. Lucky to his size normally it wasn't that hard but finding someone that is the EXACT SAME HEIGHT AS YOU- it's kinda rare. When you're short at least. Moonlight awkwardly chuckles.

"Uh.... hi?" Smooth start. Yeah they glance at Moonlight, raising an eyebrow as if to say 'you wanna fight em?'. Moonlight nods. If they were going to battle she'd prefer to do it.

Well. Definitely about to have a Pokémon battle then, shit. Apollo put his hand in their pocket, pulling out a familiar PokéBall. The only one she had, since the rest were caught with heal balls.

"Looks like you're up, Tox. Have fun-"

With a flash of light, Toxtricity appeared, looking at Moonlight and Cam, then at Apollo, and then back to the two. Ah. Alright.

#catch em all! // ic #filling the pokedex // rp #beat all the rest #gonna be the best // bf

Her expression is somewhat apologetic as Moonlight hops off his shoulder and onto the ground.

This was not what blue had been expecting today but oh well. Shaking their head they shove the wallet she had back into his pocket.

“You know what to do, Moonlight.”

( @catch-em-all-fnf ) A masked figure kinda just... walks into the reserve. They seemed really casually about this. Not like they owned the place but in more of being familiar with it. Moonlight and Flare dashing ahead kinda casually. They chuckle before well... tripping over the cape they wore.

"FUCK"

Delphi shook her head in a fond manner, sitting up and trotting over. :Hello~:

Meanwhile Spectre was sitting with Crescent in the shade, watching the scene.

Crescent shifted a bit, tilting their head. :Do you think we should..?:

She shrugged. :Probably.: Oh he tripped- :Ah-: Well now she was definitely heading over. “Are you alright there?”

They roll over, lifting up the mask slightly.

"Hiiii. Yeah 'm ok. I- forgot I was wearing the cape, haha. How are you?"

Moonlight face...paws slightly. Shaking silver head at their trainer. Flare on the other hand snickers. Wonderful

Delphi sat by him, giving him a soft bap. :You should be more careful small one.: Her tone was chiding, but a bit playful.

“I’m doing pretty good! Me and the girls were just having a lil chat.” Spectre offered a hand.

Crescent shyly padded over, dipping her head. :…hi!:

He snorts softly at the bap and comment. Grabbing the other's hand with a soft thanks, getting onto blue feet.

"It's not my fault I'm 5'3...."

Blink.

"Hi. :] Also I didn't interrupt then, right? Sorry if I did."

Delphi snickered a bit. :Don’t wear such a long cape then~:

“Delphi don’t bully him~!” They shook their head fondly. “Oh you’re fine bud.” It paused for a moment. “Actually.. why’d you come here?” Asked mostly curiosity, partly out of wanting to help.

Crescent smiled and then stopped; blinking. :Wait, you-?: Oh- Not many humans actually…

Delphi blinked as well. :…so he does.: Ah, hm. She hadn’t actually noticed at first, too used to Bolt and Spectre to actually process that.. Heh.

She awkwardly laughs, rubbing blue neck.

"I just- thought I'd have a look around I suppose? I- I do fund you guys here technically so I thought we could at least get to a first name basis."

They shrug, like this was normal.

“Alright then! In that case we can show you around a bit~ Where to start…”

:m-maybe the cove?:

“Ooo that might be nice! Whatcha say?”

Moonlight hops onto his shoulder as Cam processes the offer.

"Oooh that sounds lovely! I'd love to"

She go :]

Spec goes :D in return. “Ok! Come on then!” He be shwalkin’.

Delphi and Crescent followed, the latter sticking close to her older sister.

Blue follows casually with a slight pep in their step. Moonlight swishing her tail as Flare skitters quickly after them. This was nice.

They reached the cove after a bit, many water types frolicking about. Spectre grinned and whistled, causing a vaporeon to slither out of the water and pad over. She was followed by a pack of little eevees. “Hello Villie! This is Cam, Flare, and Moonlight!” He pointed out each of them as he said there names.

Villie smiled and the little ones sniffed at them curiously. :Hello~:

:Hi!: :Hi :3!: :Hihihihi!: :Helloo!:

Oh my god another Vaporeon,,,, Cam go star eyes. Moonlight and Flare are now down on the ground and curiously looking at the other's.

"Oh my god hellooo you are all so pretty-"

Oh, this was not good. Being caught in the rain was bad enough. But the fact that she was able to see her own breath in the air? this... this was a bad situation to be in... Tina kept herself pressed against the wall, not wanting to risk getting soaked right now.

Gale rotates his umbrella slowly, spark simply trying to make it back to his building before it got too cold out. It was already considerably cold but being a fire type did have its perks of being slightly warmer.

He pauses though upon spotting something- or rather someone in the corner of flare eye. That's... odd. Why would anyone even be out here if it's practically pouring down rain? Despite possible better judgement the leader approaches.

"Are you alright, over there?"

Her eyes snapped to the other as he mae himself known. She looked him up and down. "Uh, yeah, I'm okay, just... Heh-heh.." She looks away, smiling nervously. "Just in a bit of a... metaphorical tight spot. Which is uh. sort of obvious." Tina shuddered slightly. She could really only hope that he had no bad intentions.

This was a CHILD. Why were they out in the rain? This wasn't good. He frowns softly.

"I see... would you... like some help? I'm not sure when the storm will pass and staying out here isn't the best choice.."

He didn't seem like he wanted to bring her harm or anything, tone and eyes holding concern.

Her expression fell slightly.. She assumed he was a regular human, and she was stronger than most people, so it wouldn't be particularly dangerous to go with him... Plus, it was... really cold. "Uhm... Y-yeah. A little help would be nice." ...Especially considering Tina didn't recognize the part of the city she was in. She shivered.

He gently squats down.

"Is it alright if I carry you? If not that's alright."

The umbrella was angled in such a way where she could walk under and not get soaked. He didn't want her to be uncomfortable after all...

She paused for a moment, before softly shaking her head. "N-no thanks." Tina moved closer to the other, but wasn't fully comfortable being picked up. She was more than a little cold to the touch.

He nods a bit, standing back up. Umbrella positioned where they were both still dry.

"Alright.... well come along then... you're very cold, that's not good.."

She held onto his free hand if she could reach it, If not, they settled for his sleeve. She nodded at his words. "H-heh... Yeah, I kinda got screwed over by the weather. Th-thanks for helping me." She tried not to lean too close to him, but... He was really warm, so it was hard to resist.

He hums softly in acknowledgment. She probably could reach his hand just enough to hold it.

"Of course. I couldn't just leave someone out in the rain. Especially with how cold out it is... do you need to call home or something similar? I can get you inside and we can get that settled."

She nodded."Y-yeah. I probably should call Spectre." That last comment was mostly her just musing to herself but... M a n . the cold just drains her comepletely. She leans against Gale slightly more, a couple shivers coursing through her.

He glances down, a concerned expression on spark face.

"You seem.... very tired there. Are you sure you can walk the rest of the way? I don't want you to suddenly collapse in exhaustion, after all."

"..." Tina seems. very unsure. She tugs on his hand a little. she probably wants up??? her hands seem a little shakey.

He squats down enough to scoop her up in one arm, nodding a bit and just making sure he won't drop her. Giving a reassuring smile.

Cam awkwardly shuffles through his wallet, counting how much money she had. Great... good...

"You think this is enough to buy lunch and some extra supplies, Moonlight?"

The eevee nods, smiling. Cam chuckles softly, looking up and simply pausing for a moment.

"I should probably call Lila.... huh?" Moonlight facepalms slightly, nodding.

Apollo walked out of a nearby store, absentmindedly putting the items it just bought into her backpack. They patted Joltik's head gently as she did, before looking up. Huh, that guy was as tall as them. That wasn't something that usually happened. Wait shit that's a Pokémon that's a Pokémon trainer they were about to fight weren't they. Well. At least he bought potions.
