Adequacy in Blue | Lance & Steven

@devon-heir liked for a starter | 

After weeks of unexplained stress and a whole lot of soul searching, by which I mean Lance losing himself in his work and neglecting many of the basic needs of a human person, the champion had been approached by a colleague to take a day off. He refused, then took the day, resting himself and returning early the following morning. Apparently, that colleague had decided he needed help.

When he returned to his office his papers were all askew, at least according to his own standards they were. As he set to reorganizing them, he had a knock on the door of his office, going to answer it, opening the door to find Steven in the frame of it.

“G-good morning,” he stammered. “What on earth brings you all the way out here?”

      He waits patiently for Lance to answer the door, having received an alert from a colleague that Lance was at it again. It was time to intervene and whisk the other away from work; that’s what he did best between managing his own duties within Devon and the League. So there he stood, greeting Lance with a quick and easy smile the second he saw Lance. 

      “Oh don’t mind me!” He waves off his question casually, though it’s fairly obvious why he’s there. “I just finished up with some business of my own and thought to come see you. Surly you can make time for me, Lance?” His smile almost turned coy, almost teasing the other man who was most certainly not expecting a visitor. “We haven’t seen one another in a little while, after all. I thought we could use this time to catch up!” 

      He’s not taking no for an answer, already looping his arm through Lance’s own to pull him from his office. He’s acting a little too impatient here and he knows it, not wanting to give Lance any chance for excuses or to dismiss him for his work. “It’ll be good for you. I hear you’ve been working day and night with little to no rest!” He chides him as he makes his way towards the front of the building. “What you need is a personal day to relax. How about shopping? You look like you could use a few new outfits.” Like Steven was one to talk. He always preferred his suits to much else.

What’s Been Wrought | Steven & Maxie

Starter for @mxgmatic

      It’s been a few weeks since Groudon and Kyogre have been unleashed upon Hoenn; the damage is done leaving the sea and land a torn and broken thing. He can’t help but think of it as such as he surveys the damage atop Metagross’s back. He can only do so much as Champion of the Hoenn region, yet all the same he feels helpless to this disaster. Already he’s working with Devon to provide a form of damage control for the people and Pokemon affected yet for now he must wait for one of the ones responsible for the entire thing. 

      He guides his Pokemon down to the ground and returns it to its ball before making his way into the nearly destroyed town. Groudon’s work shows no mercy, wrecking havoc on whatever was in its path. Houses and buildings are mere splinters and the ground is simply upturned and scorched by the legendary’s heat. He frowns heavily over the damage as he waits by a now abandoned cafe, watching as people and Pokemon try to clear the rubble and reform the town to a semblance of its former self.  He’s been helping them with such work since sunrise and only takes a break because he’s expecting... him to arrive.

      Maxie wants to be a part of this project, wants to help those in need from Groudon and Kyogre’s awakening. He exhales at the mere thought, sees a man that realizes the damage he has wrought and is trying desperately to fix it and it changes how he initially feels about him. You played a dangerous game, Maxie and now you get to see Hoenn’s undoing because of it. I truly hope you realize the extent of what you’ve done. He can’t help but feel a small amount of pity for the man, knowing full well that his intentions were to change the world for the betterment of human beings. It’s much like what Devon does for people and Pokemon alike, but to go to such extremes? He wonders what pushed the man so far to seek out such desperate measures and why the world wasn’t good enough the way it was. 

      I want to understand. He shakes his head at such a silly thought. Understanding was beyond him and barely knowing the man himself he can’t expect him to reveal that much to him. It’s a rather naive thought and already he hears his father chiding him for it. He’ll have to try a different way or will have to go without knowing at all. 

      “There you are,” he says as spies the man approaching. He breaks away from the cafe to meet him, long strides carrying him towards him. “Maxie.” He says simply, businesslike. “It’s good to have you here with us. We just started on this town.” It’s obvious by the destruction around them yet he still feels the need to say it. “We are still finding people by the minute and are in the process of surveying the damaged land.”
