A Meal to Raise Your Spirits || Sidney and Phoebe

Sidney distantly stirred the pot sizzling on the stove, a hearty aroma filling the kitchen of the home. Water boiled and pasta cooked with a recorded album of Sidney's own music played in the background. The guitarist had been in an off mood lately, the usually upbeat attitude having fallen into a slump that even rocking out on his guitar wouldn't fix. So, he resorted to his last ditch effort for cheering himself up... Cooking.

After prepping the pasta, Sid turned to season and start sauteing some chicken as he prepared a Cajun Chicken Pasta dish. Usually the fancier the meal and trickier to prepare, the better it helped fix his sour mood. Plus it tasted delicious to boot.

"Yo Mightyena, you wanna taste this?" The trainer held up a piece of extra chicken, too small to be cooked with the rest but still a good enough piece for a Poké-snack. Mightyena barked and sat, tail wagging as it looked up at the uncooked meat and as the delicacy was tossed up in the air he swiftly leaped and caught it at its peak. The Dark-type licked its chops and barked, tail wagging, signifying that it was well seasoned even if the dog liked sweet food over spicy at least it wasn't dry.

As his trainer resumed cooking, the Mightyena perked up and tilted its head as it listened to the soft patter of approaching footsteps. He gave a small yip before running to the door and sniffing, barking to its trainer that someone was coming. Sid raised an eyebrow and wiped off his hands as he let the chicken start cooking for the next six minutes or so. "Someone here buddy?" Who the hell could it be? Noone called... Oh no... That could only mean one person. The Dark-type master grinned widely as he tossed the apron he was wearing over one of the dinning table chairs and went to the door just as a knock rapped upon the wooden surface. He opened the door with a smile and chuckled, "Well look who decided to drop on by."

Battle Training || Skyla and Sidney

It was still early in the morning, the sun had just barely come up and it was still slightly cold on the path from Mistralton and Icirrus city, though this didn’t bother Skyla. She was too busy getting into the training session she was having with Beardmore, the Braviary she had just recently caught. “NO I DIDN’T SAY USE BRAVE BIRD YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I GIVE THE COMMAND!!” She was screaming at the top of her lungs as the speedy bird attempted to try the intense move. “You’re only going to end up harming yourself more if you continue to attack the enemy without proper aim or a plan. Use your head and listen to me.” She was clearly frustrated now. She was pleased when she learned that Beardmore knew Brave Bird, but now she could hardly say the same when she learned that he was utterly incompetent when it came to listening to others.

As a new plan formed in her mind, she took out another pokeball, this one containing her lifelong friend, Arsenal, her Honchkrow she had received while he was still an egg. A present from her grandfather, Miles.  “Arsenal, teach this scoundrel how to properly listen to directions.” She said, in a joking way of course, she loved her pokemon too much to ever say something such as that… though the emotions she was feeling towards her disobedient braviary were not all positive.

Ah Unova... Sidney hadn't had much of a pleasure to travel the region and was able to use the opportunity of a performance to travel and look into catching and raising a Sandile and Deino to add to his team. Having arrived in Castelia City by boat, the man had easily stumbled upon a Sandile and caught it rather quickly. The little guy was determined and grew quickly as the team moved north. Alas it seemed the Elite Four member got lost and stumbled into Mistralton City, shivering from the colder climate compared to Hoenn especially being so far north in Unova. The man was able to get directions towards Victory Road where Deinos were quite common, far to the east. When informed that only those who had beaten the region's League were permitted entry, Sid simply smirked and thanked him for the information.

Route 7 was quiet, save for the humming of the guitarist as he strolled through the tree lined paths... But the silence was interrupted by the cry of a trainer yelling out commands and from what he could tell, they weren't doing a thing. Sidney approached the clearing where the training was taking place and watched as the young woman, in frustration, sent out her Honchkrow to assist in the training. "Hey babe, using one of your team to fight a newbie ain't gonna help much if they're going to work together someday. Hell, might end up fighting each other out of habit."

Sid chuckled as he approached, hands in his pockets with guitar on his back as always. "If anything, you should have a sparring partner to help train. I'm Sidney in case you were wondering, Elite Four member from the Hoenn region." He smirked a little bit as he pulled out a Pokéball and tossed the sphere up in the air, it opening and a red beam shooting out and forming his Mightyena. The dog shook itself and sat, watching the woman and her two birds with curiosity.

A Kind of Rock Not From Outer Space || Sidney and Professor Ceiba

[professorceiba]

She’d come back to Cerulean after a grueling 5-night stay in Mt. Moon, one of her premiere locations for conducting research. Her intentions were to witness the Clefairy of the mountain, in hopes of observing their moonlit ritual once again. Her previous visits resulted in very little findings - but after receiving an updated prescription, she was hoping her eyes would pick up more than just the blurred images of the fairy Pokemon floating above the rocky terrain, beneath the glittering moonlight.

Anxiously, she waited; her stock of repels completely depleted in an attempt to ward off the over-populous colonies of Zubats native to the area. Sleeping on the cave floor, the poor professor forgot one little fact - that in order to view the sacred occurrence, she’d need to be there on the night of a full moon. How could she let such an important detail get past her? Perhaps the anticipation had gotten the best of her…

Downtrodden, she descended upon the blue city, shaking off any feelings of defeat by enjoying the sweet smells and lively activity on Cerulean’s streets. The Professor continued to walk aimlessly about, shuffling through her notes and using a red pen to circle and jot down the information that was still fresh on her mind. Relinquishing a sigh, she tucked the notes safely into her satchel and focuses on her pace, step by step.

In the most random of surprises, Ceiba heard a bark coming from up ahead; the moment she looked up, she saw a rather large Pokemon leaping and tackling her to the ground. Laying on her back with the seemingly-playful Mightyena aggressively licking her face, she giggled rather nervously. Perhaps for anyone else, it might’ve been cause for alarm; a woman like Ceiba, however, who’d dealt with the strangest of Pokemon species, wasn’t phased in the slightest - a little taken off guard, but ultimately humored. 

The approaching owner apologizes, retrieving his Pokemon before waltzing over to the woman and offering her a hand up. “Aaah, it’s alright,” she chuckles, dusting off the dirt from her coat and properly positioning the glasses on the bridge of her nose. “I’m perfectly fine! My paperwork is untouched; trust me, I know how excited Mightyena can get sometimes." She exchanges a smile, listening intently to the fellow’s introduction.

“Ohh!" Ceiba couldn’t help but to bring both hands over her mouth, in utter surprise. "An Elite Four member? Well, it’s very, very nice to meet you, Mr. Draiman!" She immediately proceeded to bow, out of extreme reverence. She hadn’t yet had the pleasure of meeting someone as legendary as a member of an Elite Four. Ceiba was incredibly starstruck.

But the man sparked her interest further as he discussed his origins. “Hoenn, you say? My, I’ve conducted much of my thesis in that wonderful region. It’s so full of mystery, honestly, I feel like I only got to see the tip of the iceberg!" She smiled once more, before stopping dead in her tracks, giving him a look of complete embarrassment. "G-Gosh, I am so sorry! My name is Professor Ceiba, or Cecilia, if you’d like. My, I do apologize for the lack of manners; I suppose I was just caught in the moment!" She proceeded to offer a deeper bow, before rising back up and giving him yet another (noticeably more awkward) smile. 

[disturbedmelodies]

"Tch, yea that guy can be all over the place. You'd think he'd be a lil more mature since he's nearly twelve, haha." Sidney blinked, a rosy tinge growing on his cheeks at the woman's reverence. He was used to fans applauding him for his music, but having someone praise him in person like this was still very uncomfortable in a way.

"A-Ah, the pleasure is mine miss, really though I'm no different than your everyday trainer." The man laughed and rubbed the back of his head, suddenly very self-conscious and shifted uneasily on his feet. Sid perked up though after she identified herself and spoke of her time in Hoenn. "You're Professor Ceiba? Well, the pleasure's all mine, Cecilia. I've heard quite a few people around these parts talking about your research, investigating the Pokémon with supposed extraterrestrial origins. I'm honestly not much of a bookworm but it sounds quite interesting nonetheless!" He smiled warmly, but then his PokéGear's alarm buzzed as the time read 6 p.m.

"Ah shit! Oh! Sorry, I was sorta headed for a performance of mine..." He adjusted the guitar on his back and frowned in thought for a moment, a pick from his pocket being rolled across his knuckles like a coin. "Know what... You wanna join me? It's only a block or so from here and afterwards we can chat some more. And if you're lucky, I can give ya a free trip to Hoenn." Sidney smirked and tossed the guitar pick in the air before catching it.

A Kind of Rock Not From Outer Space || Sidney and Professor Ceiba

Sidney yawned as he stepped out of his hotel and onto the balcony, the sun glinting from behind the peaks of 'Rock Tunnel' east of Cerulean City. It was weird, how different the environment of Kanto was compared to Hoenn. The lack of salt in the air was odd and unfamiliar as well as the cooler climate. Nonetheless, Sidney threw on his clothes as well as his old worn leather coat, pulled his guitar in its case over his shoulder, and locked the door behind him as he left. The gig at a nearby bar wasn't until later that night so why not check out the sights?

The Elite Four was glad for one thing that was different in Kanto, he wasn't recognized as easily and swarmed with fans. His Mightyena, a loyal companion for many years, appeared from its Poké-ball and barked. The Dark-type's tail wagged as it walked alongside its owner, receiving a scratch behind its ears.

"What's up bud? Got tired of chillin' in your ball? Whatcha wanna do before the gig?" Sidney looked down at his loyal friend and grinned. The hound simple replied by tilting its head and barking back at the red haired man, resulting in a hearty laugh from the guitarist. "Yeah well it's good to see ya too. We can stop by and check out the Pokémon Center if ya want."

The pair, Trainer and Pokémon, explore the city for a bit and finally arrive at the Pokémon Center where Sidney lets his team rest and gets some Pokéfood for the sextet of Dark-Types. While relaxing at the Center, Sidney overheard a pair of trainers discussing a Professor that was in town and researching the nearby Mt. Moon. Usually Sidney wasn't the book type, but it piqued his interest nonetheless. But alas the victims of the eavesdropping left the Center before Sidney could figure out anything else besides her name... Professor Cecilia Ceiba, an expert in 'extraterrestrial' Pokémon.

It was only a couple hours until the gig when Sidney left the Center, his team returning to their Pokéballs except for Mightyena. He hummed a tune as they strode down the sidewalk, but suddenly Mightyena stopped. "You alright dude? Feelin' okay? We can head back if you need to..." Sidney kneeled to pet his friend on the head, only to be ignored as it stared straight ahead. Curious as to what the Bite Pokémon was so transfixed by, the Elite Four followed its gaze and spotted a brunette wearing glasses coming their way. The Mightyena barked and ran up to a stranger on the sidewalk, pouncing on the young woman and sending her to the ground, its bushy tail wagging as it licked her face.

"Hey! Mightyena, what the fuck dude? You do NOT just pounce on random chicks on the street. Return!" Sidney held out it's Pokéball and a beam of red light pulled him back into it. "You okay miss..? I'm sorry for that, he's never done that before... He should be more well behaved than that. Tsk, dumbass..." 

Sid shook his head as he offered his hand to the young woman, assisting her from the ground. "M'name's Sidney Draiman, Elite Four member from the Hoenn region specializing in Dark-Type Pokémon. What's yours?" He smiled warmly at the young woman, noticing her attractive appearance and her lab coat which surely meant she was either a scientist or professor of some sort.

[disturbedmelodies]

How would you feel if Phoebe joined?

[Gonna answer OOC cause…. Yeah]

[You better not be teasin Anon, cause.. I WOULD FUCKING LOVE A PHOEBE!!! <3 Not only would that mean more Hoenn Elite 4 and therefore more awesomeness :3 And I’d love to see her and Sid’s interaction! May more may not be one of my big ships for Sid]

[But on a side note, I'm headed to bed soon... Stupid school didn't even have a delay tomorrow (Like -40 today, probably not much higher tomorrow) So I shall do any replies tomorrow! Good night you awesome people!]

[disturbedmelodies]

What's your favorite Pokemon to use in battle?

"My favorite? Well honestly I don’t have a favorite. These guys have been my team since… Well ever since I first started being a trainer. They’ve saved my ass more times than I can count and will always have my back. But, Mightyena was my very first so I guess maybe he counts?" Sidney shrugged and pet the hound on the head, the Mightyena’s tail wagging.

[disturbedmelodies]

hOW DO YOU GET YOUR HAIR LIKE THAT I AM DEEPLY CONFUsed

"First off, there’s no need to yell… And do you mean standing up? That’s from gel… Otherwise I just shaved my head except for that section.. Not really that complicated, dumbass…"

[lacedinshadow]

nice legs. they'd look good over my shoulders.

"Mm, I might enjoy seeing my thighs crushing your neck, as well."

[lacedinshadow]

She mirrored both his crossed arms and his arched brow.

"Well? I’m waiting."

[disturbedmelodies]

"W-What? Waiting for what..?" Sidney blinked, surprised. His face burned slightly. He honestly hadn't expected that kind of reaction.

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshit... Ya dun goofed Sid. Ya dun goofed REAL bad...

[lacedinshadow]

nice legs. they'd look good over my shoulders.

"Mm, I might enjoy seeing my thighs crushing your neck, as well."

[disturbedmelodies]

Sidney crosses that off of his “Pick-up Lines to try on Karen”

[lacedinshadow]

"Was that you? Honey, you should know better than to hide that handsome face behind a gray facade."

[disturbedmelodies]

"Come on babe, you know I'm much more smooth than THAT. Plus I've got the balls to say it to your face if I wanted to." Sidney crossed his arms, a sly grin on his face as an eyebrow arched. "That line was cheesy as hell anyways, definitely not good enough to catch a gal like yourself."

[disturbedmelodies]

Sidney's "I gotta bang" list: 1) Karen, 2) Jupiter

"Heh, you’re mistaken if you think those are the only two on the list." The guitarist winks and laughs.

[lacedinshadow]

nice legs. they'd look good over my shoulders.

"Mm, I might enjoy seeing my thighs crushing your neck, as well."

[disturbedmelodies]

Sidney crosses that off of his "Pick-up Lines to try on Karen"

[disturbedmelodies]

*woops did she accidentally send him cleavage pics wooooooops totally an accident woops*

"……"

Karen used ‘Accidental’ Sexting!

[disturbedmelodies]

who's got the best breasts?

Sidney looked around to make sure they were alone, coughing. "Well… That’s sorta a trick question ya see. There’s a lot of attractive women I know. Hmm…"

 The man was completely unsure of what to say. He was risking his life, and possibly even his soul, with what he’d say. "Ya didn't hear it from me but... I’d prolly say that Karen chick from Johto. Not only is she awesome for being a fellow dark-type master, but she’s hot as hell too." Aaaaand I may now have a shortened life span…

[disturbedmelodies]

imagine Lysandre wearing nothing but his cravat

"……."

"I’d much rather imagine my boot kicking you in the fuckin’ face!"

[disturbedmelodies]

So, you find me attractive?

Sidney was completely caught off guard by the question, his eyes widening in surprise and his words stuttering. "W-What? Wherever did you get that idea?" He shook his head and regained his composure, clearing his throat. The man shrugged, attempting to blow off the idea of finding Jupiter attractive but he couldn't hide the reddish tinge on his cheeks. "You are sorta hot I guess, but whatever..."

[disturbedmelodies]

I think you need to ask Lysandre about Team Flare--you'd look /killer/ in their uniform!

"I’d rather be caught dead before being seen in that hideous fuckin’ orange outfit."

Sidney smirked slyly, "However, speaking of Lysandre, I gotta admit his suit is pretty badass. Even with that fuckin’ cravat. Who the hell even wears a cravat nowadays? AND YES I DO KNOW WHAT A CRAVAT IS! Gotta problem with it, asshole?"

[disturbedmelodies]

Have you thought about trying something new with your hair?

Sidney sighed, "Eh… Not recently. This is my signature do nowadays and works fine. But a few years ago I did sport a mohawk and before that I had a full head of hair while I was traveling as a trainer."

"But to really answer your question though, I guess it’d be a no. I like my hair as is."
