“So let me get this straight.” Thin fingers curl into gloved hands as Cora finds herself on the verge of erupting. Sure, the Battle Frontier’s opening was a momentous occasion, and she would be remiss if she didn’t participate in the festival. 

That being said...

“Dynamaxing? DYNAMAXING?! You mean the overhyped, useless phenomenon that singlehandedly turned Galar into a polluted wasteland that Poison Types can’t even survive in?! Oh sure, Macro Cosmos has plenty of resources to invest in fixing the environment or discovering alternative fuel sources, but they’d rather sink their millions into making the problem worse because ‘look at me, I made my Wailord the size of a skyscraper’!”

“It’s just Mega Evolution, but worse and with no bearing on the bonds between Pokémon and their trainer! At least with Mega Evolution it’s functional outside of a league setting!”

Encounter | Cora & Bobert

@coranathema​ liked for a starter!

Oh higher being, pokemon, or whatever in charge of luck and destiny. I hope you can hear my words at this very moment…for I’d like to say to you from the bottom of heart.

Screw you asshole. What did I ever do to you?

Bobert’s outward appearance was that of his usual calm and carefree nature, but on the inside he was screaming. He fidgeted in his seat and squirmed as he glanced at that woman from the corner of his eye.

Of all the people who had to be here it was someone from the league. And from all those people from the league it had to be someone from the Elite 4. And from the ones from the Elite 4 it had to be her?!

Frankly, it’s not even the eyepatch or the stench of crime that alerted Cora’s attention towards the tall, skinny man sitting nearby. It’s the fact that his entire demeanor screams suspicious, from his fidgeting to his inability to keep his gaze on her. While those could simply be signs of anxiety, Cora’s plenty observant enough to know when someone has something to hide.

And oh, does this man look like he has something to hide. 

Her eyes drift towards Bobert as he stammers over his words and grows more flustered by the minute. In comparison she keeps a cool head as she takes in his figure with her eyes, waiting to react like an Arbok poised to attack its prey. 

He finishes. Her turn to do the talking.

“Can I help you?” There’s no need to establish her league status here; they both already know who she is.

“ I don’t know, Cora … ”  As much as she would’ve sided with her fellow Elite Four member on any other matter, this in particular didn’t seem like something she should be wasting her time on.  “ I mean – yeah, he probably shouldn’t be doing it in front of the kids. But they’re all going to try it at some point anyway. ”  Thoughts drifted to her own youth, spending late nights chain smoking behind the Pokemon Center; she wouldn’t bring it up though. Would’ve been just as bad of an influence herself it she’d still carried on half of the habits she had when she was ten. The point she was trying to make, though, she wasn’t doing much of a good job getting it across, was that they’ll learn to give it up eventually – or, just end up like Iggy, who was, admittedly, a hot mess.  “ It just sounds like you’re trying to get him to promote some anti-smoking campaign that’s never going to happen. ”

“It does?” 

Cora’s eyebrows knitted together as she tried to comprehend just exactly what her fellow Elite was saying. On one hand, it did seem trivial now that she thought about it; he was, indeed, a grown-up, and Cora had more pressing things to worry about than what he did with his free time. 

On the other...

“I just worry about him sometimes, Olivia.” Her voice dropped several decibels, as if she didn’t want Iggy to hear from miles away that the usually sour Fairy specialist did have a heart after all. “It’s hard enough to be in such a high position of power, but with the way he conducts himself? It’s as if it doesn’t mean anything to him.” 

It frustrated her to watch Iggy cavort around as he did, cigarette dangling from mouth and all. Part of her wished she could afford to be as careless as he seemed to be.

Part of her didn’t think she could.

Whenever Souya made new outfits for his pokemon, it was customary for him to take glamour shots of them; both with a DSLR camera and with his phone. At the moment, it was Lyric’s turn, the Galarian Ponyta adorned in a small top hat with a a lavender rose and taffeta decoration, a suit top with ruffled sleeves and a lavender kravat and golden rose pin, posing for his phone shots. After a couple, a Mimikyu showed up next to Lyric in the shot, Souya pressing down so hard on the photo button in awe it took a burst.

Though his Lyric seemed a bit upset being interrupted, letting out a displeased snort, he sniffs at the Mimikyu curiously as Souya approaches, putting a hand on mane to sootthe his pokemon while kneeling in frontt of the one that approached. ❛ Are you lost, little one? Have you accidentally wandered from your trainer? ❜ He asks, offering a couple pokeblocks as a comforting treat; turning to give a few to his as well. He knew it was in bad taste to assume a pokemon was wild so he wasn’t intending to catch it, but he couldn’t hide his excitement at seeing a Mimikyu for the first time!

Spectre had a bad habit of wandering off from Cora. It was one of the things that first earned him a spot on her team so long ago; his knack for disappearing and reappearing with a piece of crucial evidence had helped her greatly in catching a gang of poachers in Alola, and even since he would often return from one of his ‘adventures’ with a berry in tow. 

Today, however... well, he was just in an easily distracted mood. One look at the trainer outfitting his Galarian Ponyta for a photo shoot and Spectre knew he just had to see what was going on-! As Souya approached him curiously, the Mimikyu’s ‘head’ flopped backwards as if it were trying to get a better look at this snappy dresser. One offer of Pokéblocks and, well... how could he refuse such generosity?

“Kyuuuu...” A shadowy hand peeked out from underneath the costume and snaked upwards, engulfing the treats in a ghostly grip. The appendage sneaked back from whence it came, followed by the faint yet distinct sounds of munching.

Thankfully, Souya didn’t have to worry about Mimikyu’s trainer for long. The sound of heeled boots clacking against the floor grew louder, and with them came a very frazzled Cora.

“There you are!” She didn’t seem to acknowledge Souya at first as she stopped to catch her breath and scold her wayward Pokémon. “I let you out of your ball for one second to get some fresh air and you’re already bothering somebody else? Spectre, what were you thinking-?” 

The Mimikyu’s seeming ambivalence to her question appeared to answer it with a resounding ‘nothing’.

   “ if it ain’t ms.kalos - “ thyra spots and smells the grace from a mile away, or so she says, both of her toxtricity’s stand either side of her and they’re enjoying a pot of instant ramen each, thyra is still waiting for her pot to cool down.

    “ what brings you to the neck of the woods anyway, you looking for something - or someone? i know the desert can be a good trainin’ ground but i’d hate for your pretty face and pretty team to get dusty ‘round these parts. “

   quick to laugh at her own statement, she offers a free hand out to shake anyway - elite four weren’t called elite for no reason and thyra held a degree of respect for them all, especially someone who could tame the aloof fairy types.

A faint pink blush creeps over Cora’s cheeks as the gym leader greets her warmly, and her stomach practically does a somersault as well. “I doubt I’m the first Kalosian to step foot in Agron,” she said, long eyelashes fluttering as her eyes drift downwards. Perhaps if she doesn’t look Thyra in the eyes, then she would stop having such an inconvenient reaction to a simple greeting and---

Nope. It’s still there.

She takes a sip of the ginger ale in her hand instead in an attempt to play things cool and reaches out to grasp Thyra’s hand with her free one. Pygmalion rubs against Cora’s leg, almost as if he knows the predicament his trainer’s in, and wraps one of his ribbons around it. An immediate sense of calm washes over Cora, allowing her to regain her poise.

“Yes, I’ve been training,” she explains, “But I doubt you’ve any reason to worry over me. I wouldn’t have come to the desert if I couldn’t handle mys...”

Cora turns pink again as soon as she processes Thyra’s statement about her face, and her words trail off in shock. “I’m sorry, did I hear that correctly?”

@coranathema.

     iggy’s teeth grind together as the woman before him continues on with her lecture, the cigarette firmly clamped between his lips before he allows another exhale of the drag he’d taken. the scent of cig smoke fills the air, the action meant to be antagonizing in a way.

     ❝ for arceus’ sake, quit yer bitchin’ and let it go already. so what if some brats saw me smoking ?      ain’t that what school is for ? to teach ‘em not to do shit like this ? ❞      oof. add in the swearing, too ? iggy, you’re really… asking for it, my guy.      his sableye clutches at his leg before it digs its claws into its trainer’s pants, hauling its small form up and up and up until finally, the creature reaches his shoulder and sits there with a chirp. those gem-like eyes stare cora down curiously, head following in a tilting motion.      ❝ makin’ a damn mountain outta a drilbur hole. can’t believe you roused me outta my afternoon nap for THIS. a damn lecture. you ain’t my ma or nothin’. ❞      no, cora certainly was not. misses montague was definitely a lot more threatening ( and infinitely more frightening ) than the fairy-specialist was.

“Like it or not, Ignatius, you are a role model to thousands of children across the Agron region.” Cora’s voice carried a disturbingly even tone as she spoke, arms folded across her chest. Astra, her strongest team member, stood attentively at her side, its rose-colored eyes firmly staring at the cigar in the Champion’s mouth. 

“I don’t care what you do in the privacy of your own room. Shockingly, I have more important things to do than constantly call out your behavior.” She straightens her back and looks him in the eye as she continues. “Do you seriously think your smoking has no effect on them? They look up to you, of course they’re going to copy all of your bad habits.” 

Astra chirped supportively and looked up towards Iggy’s Sableye, tilting her head in the same direction as it. Cora, in the meantime, continued her rant without any sign of stopping. 

“This isn’t something harmless. This is you putting a death stick in your mouth and indirectly encouraging those who idolize you to do the same.”
