Back Tentatively + Call for RP

Hello everyone, sorry for leaving so abruptly and for so long. Some personal issues came up with me feeling outcast in this community so I needed to take a step back and leave for a bit. So I’m tentatively back, hoping to see if I could maybe work on some things.

To that end, though, I posted about this before, but I’d like to post it again. I am looking for RP, and I am especially looking for fluff/romance type stuff. I know not everyone is into that, but that’s honestly what I’m primarily interested in and I would like to write ships for my character.

Specifically, I hope to find any Gordie, Milo, and Leon roleplayers that are willing to ship with a gym challenger/champion OC character, though I am also willing to discuss ships with other male OCs. I’m fine with build up but it’s something I’d like to plan for ahead of time. If you are any such RPer interested in this kind of RP, or know of anyone willing to do said RP, please do not hesitate to contact me through PMs.

I know this may seem a bit odd, but honestly it’s the type of roleplay I’m looking for. I do hope this reaches someone who may be willing to be RP partners.

“ we can take a break, if you want.”

“ everything will be okay, i promise. but you need to talk to me.”

“ it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. but it really would help if you did.”

SUSPICIOUS.

“ there is something you’re not telling me.”

“ i think you’re lying.”

“ you looked away just now when you said that. are you sure you’re telling the truth?”

“ except what you’re telling me doesn’t align with what we already know.”

“ seems to me like you know more than you’re letting in on.”

“ what aren’t you telling me?”

“ who are you trying to protect?”

“ fine. i’ll take you with me, but if you try anything…”

“ i can’t give you that. you know that.”

“ if we’re going to make a deal, you’re gonna have to ask for something a little more rational than that.”

“ okay. we have a deal.”

“ sorry. no deal.”

Call for RP

Okay... so I have not had much success with just trying to find this, so I figured I should advertise my interest in it, I suppose. And maybe this might help me find something.

I want to do fluff/romance RP. 

It’s honestly my main interest and the type of RP I want to do most. I like writing fluffy interactions and general romantic stuff. But a lot of blogs don’t seem to be super into that. So I’m just wanting to ask if anyone knows of any blogs that are open to that sort of thing. Especially for this character I’d love to find people who roleplay Leon, Milo, and Gordie in order to do this sort of thing.

It would be a big help.

A Chance Meeting?

[welcometrainers]

cherishedchallenger‌:

Madison felt his heart skip a beat as Gordie agreed. He honestly didn’t expect him to say yes. But this was great, he thought! He walked along behind Gordie, his steps light and happy. He couldn’t believe his luck with this encounter! Maybe being bold about it really was the key to all of this.

Upon sitting back at the table, his Lucario would remain standing, attentively remaining by his side. Looking at the confused waitress, he looked back at the menu for a moment. Oh! Right, yes. He should decide what he wanted. Taking a quick look, he went straight for the tea. It was cold, after all. Some hot tea would be great.

“Oh, umm… the roseli black tea sounds lovely, I think I’ll take that hot. And, umm… one of those veggie sandwiches sound nice too.”

He then looked to Gordie, curious what he’d like to order.

“You can bring my drink to the table.” He told the waitress. Giving her a two-fingered solute, paired with a wink that made her blush. All giddy, the young woman wrote down the table’s order and skipped to the back.

Gordie had leaned back into his chair. Relaxed, without being slouched. “So Madison, how long have you been traveling? That pokemon of yours looks to be a good one for company.” He looked at the trainer through his tinted glasses. Waiting with a soft smile for the other to respond. One-on-one fan time wasn’t so common an occurrence. It was a nice change of pace.

[cherishedchallenger]

Madison watched Gordie order, feeling his cheeks become flushed with red. Oh boy, he thought. The gym leader was quite handsome. He was becoming quite smitten, if he was being honest. But he tried his best to act... normal. They had just met, after all. Start from somewhere, Madison. Just try to have a regular conversation.

“Oh, umm... for quite some time, to be honest. A couple months. I’ve been trying to train my team up so we can take on the gym challenge. It’s... my goal, before I go into my field as a historian.”

He spoke calmly, but there was obviously some shyness in his voice. He was trying to do his best, though the butterflies in his stomach from speaking to Gordie were making that hard. Looking to his Lucario, he nodded. Yes, this was something he could talk about, he thought.

“Oh! Yes... Lucario and I have been together ever since I was a little. He’s honestly my best friend...”

Lucario simply nodded, looking to Gordie. His steely gaze rested on the man but didn’t seem defensive. That was a good thing, it seemed he trusted the gym leader enough. Madison looked to Gordie, trying to make sure the conversation wasn’t one-sided.

“Who is your main partner pokemon? I know gym leaders work with quite a lot of pokemon, but I figured you might have some that are your personal partners.”

[cherishedchallenger]

“It kind of makes me sad that people are reacting so negatively to the idea of kissing and this romantic holiday... I wish I had a guy to spend it with, myself...”

cherishedchallenger·:

“I…”

Madison sighed, knowing there wasn’t anything more he could. There wasn’t any point in continuing to try and plead his case. Milo was the gym leader, which meant he had the final word in this situation. And he was just the challenger. He rung his hands nervously, stifling another sneeze. With a frown and a reluctant nod of his head, he non-verbally admitted defeat.

It just took a heavy toll on his heart. So much of his time in college, outside of studying for his history degree, was preparing for this gym challenge. This was years in the making for him. It just felt like such a bad start to such a momentous event in his life. But Milo made sense. Battling in this condition wouldn’t help his gym challenge progress. He had to admit that to himself. He’d let his Pokemon down.

“… Okay…”

He finally said the words out loud, conceding his challenge for the moment. However, upon Milo offering to check up on him the next morning, Madison couldn’t help but blush a little. It was a very nice offer, and it made his heart skip a beat.

“… S-Sure, I-I would like that…”

❦ If the blush was at all visible, Milo assumed it to be only a result of Madison’s ongoing fever. Satisfied with the response he was given, Milo’s expression softened into his usual smile and he pulled his hand away from the trainer’s shoulder. “Right then! You get out of that uniform and I’ll make sure the folks outside are all gone. The inn’s only about a five-minute walk from the stadium, so we shouldn’t be running into trouble on the way.”

He’d rather it as such. It was already not an easy task to delay the challenge, what’s to say having people snooping into the reasoning behind the rescheduling. He’d rather not put the novice trainer on a hard spot by having to face one too many interviewers. Milo excused himself from the changing room, letting Madison to the privacy it offered whilst the gym leader oriented his trainers.  It wasn’t long before the stadium had been properly cleared out of any ill intentioned reporters or onlookers, about as safe as the environment could be for the sickly trainer to slink unnoticed.

By then, he’d expected the challenger to have made his appearance, though it seemed things were taking a bit too long. Lightly, Millo knocked on the locker room door. “Madison? You doing okay in there?”

[cherishedchallenger]

Madison sighed, changing out of his challenger uniform back into his street clothes. He frowned, slipping his arm through the sleeve of his cardigan coat, and it felt entirely like a disgrace. He knew Milo had a point, but he couldn’t shake the feeling like he failed somehow. Packing his uniform bag into his bag, he also retrieved a cherish ball from one of it’s compartments. Activating it, he’d call out his Lucario. He popped out and immediately took a combat stance, expecting a battle. When he noticed he was still in the locker room, he turned to his trainer in confusion. The man just shook his head solemnly.

“I’m sorry... not today.”

His Lucario broached the distance and did his best to offer a consolatory hug, minding the spike on his chest. Madison reciprocated, and gave him a pat on the head. Truly his best friend, he thought. Looking toward the door as he heard the knock, Madison would step out, facing Milo in his normal clothing.

“Y-Yes, I’m ready...”

He sniffled again, feeling his congested nose once more. Standing in front of the... very -built- gym leader, he felt his earlier shyness bubble up again. He did his best to push it down, though.

“... Thank you, for clearing out the lobby...”

“Gay Rights!”

[cherishedchallenger]

“An Onyx?? Oh man that must’ve been really intense… real sorry if I rushed you! And especially with those books that you have! How’s college Mad?” She curiously asked him as they made their way inside the cafe, seeing that it was also busy!

Poor barista and his Pokémon trying to get all orders done! Seeing a line full of people waiting for a battle with them as well! Pure chaos! They were mixing up orders left and right! …was the barista crying?

“Golly… did we pick a day to catch up with each other…” she laughed softly as she looked over at him, smiling softly. “I’m honestly in the mood for something cold and sweet! Maybeeee, a strawberry milkshake? Hmmm, yeaaah!”

“Hmm... Seems it is quite busy in here... I hope the servers here aren’t being too overworked...”

He looks around the cafe, checking the menu. Ah, there, he could double check to see what they have. He looked over the teas section, looking over the flavors and concoctions that they sell. Ah, there we are! Something caught his eye. He smiled a little.

“Roseli milk tea... that sounds lovely, I think I’ll take that then! What do you want?”

He asked, looking to his Lucario. His serious, discerning eyes scanned the menu, before pointing to one of the drinks. A standard kasib black tea. Madison simply nodded, taking his partner’s order. He always made sure to get his partner something.

“Do you think we’ll be able to get served in a reasonable time?”

“Always the last one to arrive..~! You’re fine don’t worry Mad! Piplup was the one getting a bit anxious— definitely not me haha— but I’m so glad you’re here! Lucario! Hey buddy!”

She happily waved at Mad’s Lucario, seeing Piplup quickly approaching his friend to go and hug him! Man was Piplup cute at times— but besides her Pokémon being cute… Madison was here! Finally! After weeks of planning this get together! They were finally face to face… like the good old days!

“Motostoke has been pretty busy lately… with the gym challenge season being upon us and all… remember the good old days? I feel so old talking about it.. anywaaays! Come on! Let’s head in!” Happily, she would always somehow be the one dragging Madison into places— she honestly wished she would stop doing that—

“Sorry about that... yeah, it seems like everyone’s getting excited. At one point the street was almost completely blocked by someone’s Onyx? I had to climb over it to get through.”

Lucario smiled and nodded to Alana, always remembering Madison’s friends. He may be fiercely loyal to Madison first and foremost, but was of a kind enough disposition to be friendly with his friends as well. Madison adjusted the bag on his shoulder, finally getting a moment to adjust as the weight of his college books had shifted while he was jogging. 

“Right, let’s head in! I’m kind of in the mood for something sweet... I wonder if they have a kasib or roseli tea. Or maybe a pecha smoothie... that’d be great too...”

Seems the man was thirsty, and was already thinking about what he might want.

@alana019​ - Continuation from here

The pair made their way through the somewhat busy streets, picking up the pace. It had been awhile since he last talked with Alana, one of the few friends he made during the gym challenge. He didn’t want to keep her waiting, especially since she had been on such a long trip all the way from Sinnoh. He could see the cafe just down the street and gained more resolve.

“C’mon, we’re almost there!”

Madison broke out into a jog, Lucario not far behind him. Upon arriving at the front of the cafe, he was a little out of breath. He needed to get back to his training, he thought. A little run like that shouldn’t have tuckered him out so. Though it may have been because he was carrying several history books in his bag. Upon seeing Alana, he waved.

“Oh, hey, sorry it took me so long... there was a bit of a crowd.”
