The name's Auriga, he/him, Pokemon Racing Jockey from Driftveil, Unova. (pkmn irl blog, blanket unreality warning)

[driftveiljockey]

Howdy, y'all! Ya can call me Constellation, Driftveil, Jockey - whatever ya feel up ta. I'm a Pokemon Racing Jockey, an' I raise racin' 'mon. Why Constellation? Eh, I ain't given out my real name yet, but I am named after a constellation, so I'll give all y'all that much.

Of my own team, I've got Sunny the Zebstrika, Burn the Arcanine, Blister the Rhyhorn, Blaze the Rapidash, Glory the Galarian Rapidash, an' Tsunami the Lapras. All female team, unintentional but that's how the cards ended up fallin' for me, but we prioritize speed over battlin'.

I do all sorts of races across land an' sea, though I ain't takin' ta the sky anytime soon. Just ain't for me.

I grew up 'round Driftveil, an' I've always had a passion for racin', an' I can legally be on my own. Right now I'm in Kalos for racin'. That just 'bout covers everythin' ya really need to know about me.

flops in. hello again it's me azure (@/anxiousazure) i'm back again with another pkmn irl character except this time he's not a bba character. branching out. constellation is a silly little guy i made up in my head because i like the idea of pokemon racing. this character is 17, but i'm asexual and will delete anything more than flirting because i simply don't want to deal with it. i myself am an adult.

i also run @/kitakami-zorua-kin (my most active), @/sinnohs-eve, @/noivernofkitakami, @/kitakami-specter, and @/unovan-artist (my least active).

i mod have really bad social anxiety so if i havent answered or interacted. i am simply scared. constellation is extroverted but i am not i am very easily intimidated and my brain will continuously go "but what if there's an unspoken Rule you're breaking" and paralyze me. and hey! you are always, always, always free to include constellation or any of my other OCs in drawings or stories or anything else! just. maybe please tag me because i want to see them. <3

constellation is just a racing guy and as far as i'm aware won't be touching on too dark of topics backstory wise. i think. these things are always subject to change though. either way he's a silly fun loving racing jockey cowboy unless i (or y'all) decide to spring the horrors upon him.

The cowboy glanced up and around, pausing and setting the rag of polish down. Blister makes an unhappy sound as he does so, and Constellation adjusts his bandana absently, looking around again to see if he could spot anyone lurking nearby. He presses a hand to the Rhyhorn's head soothingly in an absentminded motion.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

"Racer" straightened up from where he stood behind a tree, tugging at his jacket a bit. He finally turned and started walking over, pulling his bike along.

"Hello," he called out, "Are you a racing jockey? I noticed you have mostly racing pokemon. Can I meet them?"

He quickly reaches out to keep Tugboat the fraxure from getting to close, then immediately reaches back out the other direction to keep Lydia, a very tiny axew from falling out of the basket of his bike.

[driftveiljockey]

"Constellation" offers a bright grin, pulling the bandanna down from around his nose, waving loosely. "Howdy," He greets, "The name's Auriga, I am a jockey! Ya've got a keen eye for racin', it seems. Feel free to meet the ladies, though Glory's got a bit of a temper and Tsunami's more to the mischief side of things. The rest of 'em are pretty well behaved though. This here's Blister, there's Blaze there, an' of course Burn as well." Auriga points out each of the Pokemon in turn. "Who're the little uns with ya, if I may ask?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

"Racer" lights up immediately. "You're Blister's jockey! That's amazing, how wonderful! You're wonderful racers, Blister is extremely talented. It is lovely to meet you Blister, I am Calem."

He blinks and turns to Constellation. "Ah. My name is Calem, but most people call me Racer. I watch Rhyhorn races with my mom a lot, and I have seen you race before. You are very talented! And beautiful! It is nice to meet you all."

He waves a hand vaguely around himself.

"The fraxure is Tugboat, and the axew in the basket of my bike are Lydia and Fuyumi. The one flying around, the pidgeot, is Peter. Over there following Peter is Teefers, my braixen. I have more but they're not here right now."

He turns back to Constellation's pokemon and nods. "It's nice to meet you as well, Glory, Tsunami, Blaze, and Burn. Sorry, I'm more familiar with rhyhorn racing."

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga laughs warmly, coloring slightly at the compliments, and nods easily.

"Nice ta meet ya, Racer! Yeah, Blister and the rest of the ladies are all incredibly talented. I just do my best ta keep up with 'em and keep 'em on task." He says.

"Tugboat, Lydia, Fuyumi, Peter, an' Teefers, nice ta meet all y'all as well." The cowboy tips his hat in a quick greeting.

"Yeah, Rhyhorn Racin's a lot more popular here in Kalos, I ain't surprised that's whatcha know us from. I like all sorts of pokemon races, thus the diverse team. Ah, right - ya can call me Constellation if ya like. D'ya race yourself, or d'ya just like to watch?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer blinks, turning back to Auriga.

"Ah yeah, rhyhorn racing is kind of a big deal around here. I like racing a lot, I used to do it when I was younger. Like, the not really competitive kid racing, y'know?" He nods a little bit. "I like it. I grew up around rhyhorns, my mom has one and he's always been in my life. I have one of my own too." He grins, smirking at Auriga. "Technically his name is Leo, but I call him stubborn little—"

He cuts himself off, waving a hand, still smirking. Tugboat comes up and nudges into his hand. Racer is promptly distracted by giving Tugboat scratches.

[driftveiljockey]

"... Leo, huh?" Auriga echoes, the name ringing more than a few bells. "Huh. Your mom Grace, then? Ain't never met her myself but she's a legend. Ah. Betcha get real tired of hearin' that, though, sorry. Well, hey, I ain't just doin' competitive races. If you wanna set somethin' up just for fun, I'm down for a race sometime."

"You on... some sorta personal pilgrimage then, or didja just set out on your own? I sorta do my own thing with racin' an' all, so I ain't really sure what most normal kids are doin'..." Auriga asks curiously.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer laughs out loud, almost startling Tugboat.

“Yeah, Leo and Étoile! Leo still does some racing, Étoile prefers laying about the yard. My moms Grace, yeah, though I don’t bother to mention it much. You can tell where the nickname comes from, heh. I’d be down for a race sometime, for sure!” He looks around at Auriga’s pokemon a bit. “I’m supposed to be proving something for some professor, I think. Something to do with pokedexes and mega evolution? I don’t really care that much, but a few kids barged into my life and declared themselves my friends, so I’m helping them as I can. It’s pretty much just doing something other than laying around with Étoile so Mom’ll worry less about me. I’ve got some income and hobbies out of it, plus my pokemon, so I’m not too bothered.”

He shakes his head a bit, stopping from zoning out. “Is there a race in town soon or are you traveling for something else this time?”

Peter takes that moment to dive bomb Teefers, who immediately tackles him to the ground. Racer whips around, and sighs.

“Hold that thought,” he mutters before putting his bike down, going to drag his pokemon back over. He separates them until Teefers is pouting next to where Lydia and Fuyumi are safely on the ground while Peter perches on Tugboat’s head.

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga nods with a faint grin. "Glad ta hear it. And workin' with the Pokedex is a pretty nice gig. Glad ya seem to be havin' fun with it."

"Ah, yeah, I'm here for the races. They're smaller time ones, but it ain't really the season for most races anyways, so I'm mostly here ta have fun."

Auriga can't help but laugh and shake his head fondly at the Pokemon, even as Glory wanders up to the cowboy to demands pets. He obliges, of course.

"Ya got a team of fighters, it seems." He comments absently. "I sorta get it. Glory and Blaze like ta race each other. Sunny likes ta race 'em as well but they ain't fond of racin' against Sunny, since she tends to win."

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

”Oh I get that,” Racer says, laughing. “The only two I have that actually get along are Apolline and Egg. They stayed at the daycare together for a bit while I was busy, and when I went to pick them up I was so surprised to hear they were hanging out together.”

“Yeah, pokedex work isn’t too bad. They’re chill. And I don’t get bothered too much by people, they’re mostly nice.”

He smiles a bit, patting Peter on the head. “Yeah, I’m pretty happy with everything. And I get to meet cool people like you!”

He turns and beams at Auriga again. “You’re the most beautiful I’ve met though! and you’re a racer, and your pokemon love you. Clearly you’re cool!”

[driftveiljockey]

"Ah, daycares can work wonders for gettin' pokemon ta get along, ta my understandin' of it." Auriga nods. "I ain't never done nothin' with the Pokedex, so I only got respect ta those who do."

Auriga again colors slightly at the compliment. "Aw, hells, that's sweet of ya ta say. Ya are pretty cute yourself, as well. Yeah, I try ta keep my team happy an' healthy, since they're basically part of tha family. Ya seem pretty damn cool, Racer!"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

”Oh it was a big surprise!” Racer laughs. “Everyone else I’ve ever left at the daycare hasn’t liked hanging out together, but Egg and Apolline have been close since Apolline hatched.”

He shrugs. “eh, the pokédex is really just work, I like the orchard work more. I have a friend that’s more into the pokédex than me, but because I travel more I seem to run into more pokemon than he does.”

“Thank you.” Racer grins, “I love my pokemon like family too. Some of them I leave home with my mom, just because I don’t want to leave them in their pokeballs all the time, yknow?”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga nods with a low hum.

"Orchard work? Huh. Hadn't heard of that before - might have ta check that out at some point. Then again, I ain't know a ton outside of racin' anyways. Maybe I should look inta doin' more tourist stuff..." Auriga trails off with a shrugs. "Yeah, travellin' does seem ta introduce ya to more folks and more types of 'mon. Still, it's good of ya ta help out."

"Oh, yeah, I totally get that! If I ever get another racin' 'mon, I'm gonna havfta ask my paw if he'd watch 'em while I was gone. I'd feel too bad just leavin' 'em in the box all the time..." The cowboy agrees.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer visibly brightens, bouncing on his toes a bit. “I love orchard work! My team likes hanging out and watching, and occasionally helping a bit. It’s nice to do the same thing for a while, especially when I don’t have to worry about talking to people, you know? The orchard is owned by a farmer and his daughter, and as long as I give them a bit of the profits they’re chill with me hanging out doing whatever I want, really.”

“I also have a job at the hotel in the big city, but that’s okay because they don’t make me deal with the customers directly, and all my coworkers are the nicest people ever.”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga pauses, eyes narrowing. "Ain't you like... my age? How many jobs do ya have?" He shakes his head. "I mean, I'm glad ya are havin' fun, just... Ya have a lot of jobs. Sure I work as a jockey, but... Ya still have time ta do like, normal kid stuff, right?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer tilts his head. “I only have the two? ...the pokédex thing doesn’t feel like a real job, and both are really chill about hours. It’s just if I’m in the area I can do some work. It’s better for me than going after trainers all the time.”

He shrugs. “honestly the most annoying thing is just traveling. I like it some, but really just for the biking. And I do have plenty of time, I like skating a lot. I’ll spend hours just skating sometimes.”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga hums consideringly. "... if ya say so. Sorry, was just a little worried with ya havin' like, three jobs and bein' my age or thereabouts."

He offers a nod. "Oh, I get ya 'bout the travellin'. No matter how far or short, travellin' always seems ta be a nightmare and a half. Especially since I still ain't technically old 'nough ta rent my own hotel room. Old enough ta go gallivantin' around the world and sign up for my own races, but not 'nough ta legally drink back home and I still havfta call my paw to rent a hotel room for me..." The cowboy sighs, shakes his head. "But skatin', huh? Can't say I've ever tried it. Know there's races and things for it, so maybe I should look inta it a little..."

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

”...I mean, I don’t think it really matters?” Racer shrugs. “It’s not that much, and I’m safe.”

He laughs. “Skatings fun! I’m pretty fast at it, but I like working on tricks more. Helps to have something to work on no matter where I am, and it’s fun too!”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga nods, seeming pretty interested. "Oh, I get that way 'bout racin'. Always somethin' ta improve on, and I think it's fun. What's your favorite part about skatin', then?"

“Hold that thought,” he mutters before putting his bike down, going to drag his pokemon back over. He separates them until Teefers is pouting next to where Lydia and Fuyumi are safely on the ground while Peter perches on Tugboat’s head.

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga nods with a faint grin. "Glad ta hear it. And workin' with the Pokedex is a pretty nice gig. Glad ya seem to be havin' fun with it."

"Ah, yeah, I'm here for the races. They're smaller time ones, but it ain't really the season for most races anyways, so I'm mostly here ta have fun."

Auriga can't help but laugh and shake his head fondly at the Pokemon, even as Glory wanders up to the cowboy to demands pets. He obliges, of course.

"Ya got a team of fighters, it seems." He comments absently. "I sorta get it. Glory and Blaze like ta race each other. Sunny likes ta race 'em as well but they ain't fond of racin' against Sunny, since she tends to win."

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

”Oh I get that,” Racer says, laughing. “The only two I have that actually get along are Apolline and Egg. They stayed at the daycare together for a bit while I was busy, and when I went to pick them up I was so surprised to hear they were hanging out together.”

“Yeah, pokedex work isn’t too bad. They’re chill. And I don’t get bothered too much by people, they’re mostly nice.”

He smiles a bit, patting Peter on the head. “Yeah, I’m pretty happy with everything. And I get to meet cool people like you!”

He turns and beams at Auriga again. “You’re the most beautiful I’ve met though! and you’re a racer, and your pokemon love you. Clearly you’re cool!”

[driftveiljockey]

"Ah, daycares can work wonders for gettin' pokemon ta get along, ta my understandin' of it." Auriga nods. "I ain't never done nothin' with the Pokedex, so I only got respect ta those who do."

Auriga again colors slightly at the compliment. "Aw, hells, that's sweet of ya ta say. Ya are pretty cute yourself, as well. Yeah, I try ta keep my team happy an' healthy, since they're basically part of tha family. Ya seem pretty damn cool, Racer!"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

”Oh it was a big surprise!” Racer laughs. “Everyone else I’ve ever left at the daycare hasn’t liked hanging out together, but Egg and Apolline have been close since Apolline hatched.”

He shrugs. “eh, the pokédex is really just work, I like the orchard work more. I have a friend that’s more into the pokédex than me, but because I travel more I seem to run into more pokemon than he does.”

“Thank you.” Racer grins, “I love my pokemon like family too. Some of them I leave home with my mom, just because I don’t want to leave them in their pokeballs all the time, yknow?”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga nods with a low hum.

"Orchard work? Huh. Hadn't heard of that before - might have ta check that out at some point. Then again, I ain't know a ton outside of racin' anyways. Maybe I should look inta doin' more tourist stuff..." Auriga trails off with a shrugs. "Yeah, travellin' does seem ta introduce ya to more folks and more types of 'mon. Still, it's good of ya ta help out."

"Oh, yeah, I totally get that! If I ever get another racin' 'mon, I'm gonna havfta ask my paw if he'd watch 'em while I was gone. I'd feel too bad just leavin' 'em in the box all the time..." The cowboy agrees.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer visibly brightens, bouncing on his toes a bit. “I love orchard work! My team likes hanging out and watching, and occasionally helping a bit. It’s nice to do the same thing for a while, especially when I don’t have to worry about talking to people, you know? The orchard is owned by a farmer and his daughter, and as long as I give them a bit of the profits they’re chill with me hanging out doing whatever I want, really.”

“I also have a job at the hotel in the big city, but that’s okay because they don’t make me deal with the customers directly, and all my coworkers are the nicest people ever.”

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga pauses, eyes narrowing. "Ain't you like... my age? How many jobs do ya have?" He shakes his head. "I mean, I'm glad ya are havin' fun, just... Ya have a lot of jobs. Sure I work as a jockey, but... Ya still have time ta do like, normal kid stuff, right?"

rp thread for @futureaxewtypegymleader

The cowboy glanced up and around, pausing and setting the rag of polish down. Blister makes an unhappy sound as he does so, and Constellation adjusts his bandana absently, looking around again to see if he could spot anyone lurking nearby. He presses a hand to the Rhyhorn's head soothingly in an absentminded motion.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

"Racer" straightened up from where he stood behind a tree, tugging at his jacket a bit. He finally turned and started walking over, pulling his bike along.

"Hello," he called out, "Are you a racing jockey? I noticed you have mostly racing pokemon. Can I meet them?"

He quickly reaches out to keep Tugboat the fraxure from getting to close, then immediately reaches back out the other direction to keep Lydia, a very tiny axew from falling out of the basket of his bike.

[driftveiljockey]

"Constellation" offers a bright grin, pulling the bandanna down from around his nose, waving loosely. "Howdy," He greets, "The name's Auriga, I am a jockey! Ya've got a keen eye for racin', it seems. Feel free to meet the ladies, though Glory's got a bit of a temper and Tsunami's more to the mischief side of things. The rest of 'em are pretty well behaved though. This here's Blister, there's Blaze there, an' of course Burn as well." Auriga points out each of the Pokemon in turn. "Who're the little uns with ya, if I may ask?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

"Racer" lights up immediately. "You're Blister's jockey! That's amazing, how wonderful! You're wonderful racers, Blister is extremely talented. It is lovely to meet you Blister, I am Calem."

He blinks and turns to Constellation. "Ah. My name is Calem, but most people call me Racer. I watch Rhyhorn races with my mom a lot, and I have seen you race before. You are very talented! And beautiful! It is nice to meet you all."

He waves a hand vaguely around himself.

"The fraxure is Tugboat, and the axew in the basket of my bike are Lydia and Fuyumi. The one flying around, the pidgeot, is Peter. Over there following Peter is Teefers, my braixen. I have more but they're not here right now."

He turns back to Constellation's pokemon and nods. "It's nice to meet you as well, Glory, Tsunami, Blaze, and Burn. Sorry, I'm more familiar with rhyhorn racing."

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga laughs warmly, coloring slightly at the compliments, and nods easily.

"Nice ta meet ya, Racer! Yeah, Blister and the rest of the ladies are all incredibly talented. I just do my best ta keep up with 'em and keep 'em on task." He says.

"Tugboat, Lydia, Fuyumi, Peter, an' Teefers, nice ta meet all y'all as well." The cowboy tips his hat in a quick greeting.

"Yeah, Rhyhorn Racin's a lot more popular here in Kalos, I ain't surprised that's whatcha know us from. I like all sorts of pokemon races, thus the diverse team. Ah, right - ya can call me Constellation if ya like. D'ya race yourself, or d'ya just like to watch?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer blinks, turning back to Auriga.

"Ah yeah, rhyhorn racing is kind of a big deal around here. I like racing a lot, I used to do it when I was younger. Like, the not really competitive kid racing, y'know?" He nods a little bit. "I like it. I grew up around rhyhorns, my mom has one and he's always been in my life. I have one of my own too." He grins, smirking at Auriga. "Technically his name is Leo, but I call him stubborn little—"

He cuts himself off, waving a hand, still smirking. Tugboat comes up and nudges into his hand. Racer is promptly distracted by giving Tugboat scratches.

[driftveiljockey]

"... Leo, huh?" Auriga echoes, the name ringing more than a few bells. "Huh. Your mom Grace, then? Ain't never met her myself but she's a legend. Ah. Betcha get real tired of hearin' that, though, sorry. Well, hey, I ain't just doin' competitive races. If you wanna set somethin' up just for fun, I'm down for a race sometime."

"You on... some sorta personal pilgrimage then, or didja just set out on your own? I sorta do my own thing with racin' an' all, so I ain't really sure what most normal kids are doin'..." Auriga asks curiously.

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer laughs out loud, almost startling Tugboat.

“Yeah, Leo and Étoile! Leo still does some racing, Étoile prefers laying about the yard. My moms Grace, yeah, though I don’t bother to mention it much. You can tell where the nickname comes from, heh. I’d be down for a race sometime, for sure!” He looks around at Auriga’s pokemon a bit. “I’m supposed to be proving something for some professor, I think. Something to do with pokedexes and mega evolution? I don’t really care that much, but a few kids barged into my life and declared themselves my friends, so I’m helping them as I can. It’s pretty much just doing something other than laying around with Étoile so Mom’ll worry less about me. I’ve got some income and hobbies out of it, plus my pokemon, so I’m not too bothered.”

He shakes his head a bit, stopping from zoning out. “Is there a race in town soon or are you traveling for something else this time?”

Peter takes that moment to dive bomb Teefers, who immediately tackles him to the ground. Racer whips around, and sighs.

[driftveiljockey]

Howdy again, y'all! Might've forgotten ta update this account for a pretty long while, too- well. Anyways, the races have been a whole lotta fun! Blister's certainly been enjoyin' herself, as well as enjoyin' all the attention she's gettin' as of late.

Here's ta hopin' I remember ta update here for frequently! Never have been much of a social media guy, ta be honest...

[driftveiljockey]

Do you and your Pokémon have any badges or contest ribbons? Which one are you most proud of?

Neither of those, but we do have quite a few trophies for racin’. Pretty proud of all of those. Think the one I’m proudest of is the glass medallion Tsunami and I won in Alto Mare – the Tour de Alto Mare is a hell of a race ta compete in. It's also a beautiful city ta visit.

[driftveiljockey]

Do you have a naming convention for your Pokémon?

I might. Ya tell me what ya think.

[driftveiljockey]

Give us a random celebrity (gym leader, tv personality, musician, etc.) you can’t stand and why.

Uh. The only “celebrities” that I know are other racers, and I ain’t got any issues with any of the other jockeys I ride against. Sorry, I ain't got any drama here!

[driftveiljockey]

What type of battle strategy do you tend to use with your Pokémon? If you do contests or something else with your Pokémon, what is your preferred approach to that?

I’m a jockey, so my team and I are racers! I focus heavy on speed trainin’ and trust ‘cause of that. We ain't really the battlin' type, it ain't what we focus on.

[driftveiljockey]

Have any of your Pokémon evolved? If so, what was in your opinion the most difficult one to evolve?

Yeah, most of my team has evolved. Hm. Think th’ most difficult was Burn, and that’s just ‘cause she needed a Fire Stone, an’ I just had a hard time findin’ one. Think I was just unlucky, though.

The cowboy glanced up and around, pausing and setting the rag of polish down. Blister makes an unhappy sound as he does so, and Constellation adjusts his bandana absently, looking around again to see if he could spot anyone lurking nearby. He presses a hand to the Rhyhorn's head soothingly in an absentminded motion.

"Racer" straightened up from where he stood behind a tree, tugging at his jacket a bit. He finally turned and started walking over, pulling his bike along.

"Hello," he called out, "Are you a racing jockey? I noticed you have mostly racing pokemon. Can I meet them?"

He quickly reaches out to keep Tugboat the fraxure from getting to close, then immediately reaches back out the other direction to keep Lydia, a very tiny axew from falling out of the basket of his bike.

"Constellation" offers a bright grin, pulling the bandanna down from around his nose, waving loosely. "Howdy," He greets, "The name's Auriga, I am a jockey! Ya've got a keen eye for racin', it seems. Feel free to meet the ladies, though Glory's got a bit of a temper and Tsunami's more to the mischief side of things. The rest of 'em are pretty well behaved though. This here's Blister, there's Blaze there, an' of course Burn as well." Auriga points out each of the Pokemon in turn. "Who're the little uns with ya, if I may ask?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

"Racer" lights up immediately. "You're Blister's jockey! That's amazing, how wonderful! You're wonderful racers, Blister is extremely talented. It is lovely to meet you Blister, I am Calem."

He blinks and turns to Constellation. "Ah. My name is Calem, but most people call me Racer. I watch Rhyhorn races with my mom a lot, and I have seen you race before. You are very talented! And beautiful! It is nice to meet you all."

He waves a hand vaguely around himself.

"The fraxure is Tugboat, and the axew in the basket of my bike are Lydia and Fuyumi. The one flying around, the pidgeot, is Peter. Over there following Peter is Teefers, my braixen. I have more but they're not here right now."

He turns back to Constellation's pokemon and nods. "It's nice to meet you as well, Glory, Tsunami, Blaze, and Burn. Sorry, I'm more familiar with rhyhorn racing."

[driftveiljockey]

Auriga laughs warmly, coloring slightly at the compliments, and nods easily.

"Nice ta meet ya, Racer! Yeah, Blister and the rest of the ladies are all incredibly talented. I just do my best ta keep up with 'em and keep 'em on task." He says.

"Tugboat, Lydia, Fuyumi, Peter, an' Teefers, nice ta meet all y'all as well." The cowboy tips his hat in a quick greeting.

"Yeah, Rhyhorn Racin's a lot more popular here in Kalos, I ain't surprised that's whatcha know us from. I like all sorts of pokemon races, thus the diverse team. Ah, right - ya can call me Constellation if ya like. D'ya race yourself, or d'ya just like to watch?"

[futureaxewtypegymleader]

Racer blinks, turning back to Auriga.

"Ah yeah, rhyhorn racing is kind of a big deal around here. I like racing a lot, I used to do it when I was younger. Like, the not really competitive kid racing, y'know?" He nods a little bit. "I like it. I grew up around rhyhorns, my mom has one and he's always been in my life. I have one of my own too." He grins, smirking at Auriga. "Technically his name is Leo, but I call him stubborn little—"

He cuts himself off, waving a hand, still smirking. Tugboat comes up and nudges into his hand. Racer is promptly distracted by giving Tugboat scratches.

[driftveiljockey]

"... Leo, huh?" Auriga echoes, the name ringing more than a few bells. "Huh. Your mom Grace, then? Ain't never met her myself but she's a legend. Ah. Betcha get real tired of hearin' that, though, sorry. Well, hey, I ain't just doin' competitive races. If you wanna set somethin' up just for fun, I'm down for a race sometime."

"You on... some sorta personal pilgrimage then, or didja just set out on your own? I sorta do my own thing with racin' an' all, so I ain't really sure what most normal kids are doin'..." Auriga asks curiously.
