“Hm…” he hadn’t quite decided on a fixed amount of time he would tolerate this. Meghan was pretty light, but Volkner… was of average strength, and admittedly not high in fitness (nowhere near Flint, at least). “To ride into battle…?” He stood gradually, hoisting her up so she was secure on his back. “Hm.” 

Well, if it was for a game, he could indulge her. 

“I am at your service as long as you require, Miss Meghan,” there was a glimmer of playfulness in his eyes few ever got the chance to see. He gave a little salute, adjusted her again, and prepared himself to run, “Point me in the way of battle, and I shall see you through.” 

   She waits in anticipation, smile widening as she watches the ground get further and further away. There’s something so fun about being up high! It’s like you can do anything!

   “Yay! I knew I could count on you!” Meghan cheers, lifting her arms in the air for just a short moment as a display of victory. That was the kind of answer she was hoping for and Volkner delivered--- this is why he’s the bestest person ever. “Over there, my noble steed. There are a bazillion enemies that we have to beat. Or else, if we don’t, then the whole world will explode three times!” She points out towards the distance, where her Pikachu are hanging out.

   Though the pokemon weren’t told beforehand about this, their superior hearing abilities tip them off to the game that’s starting up. All of them start making growling sounds and stomping around to look like villains.

[🌟] - time seemed to slow down the moment the words left his blabbing gums. the last of his common sense waved ‘sayonara’ as barry’s light-hearted grin slowly fell and even a knuckle-head like him could tell; he messed up. 

☆ ・‥…   “..ergk..uh, hey…” ・‥…━━━☆ his shoulder were squared and his arms sort of waved above meghan’s head awkwardly, as if attempting to marionette the little girl to look up and stop looking so sad. if there’s one thing barry couldn’t handle, it was sad or crying girls. times four super effective if both! 

was it because he called her a peep-squeak? barry lets out an un-manly squeak himself when meghan snaps her head up, goosebumps rising when he sees watery red eyes curtained over anger. there was another emotion mixed in as well, but he couldn’t tell what it was. at times like this, he wished he inherited kouki’s emotion-y side. 

☆ ・‥…   “I don’t get it! Why are you sniffling like that?”  ・‥…━━━☆

her yell of indignation caught him off-guard. sure, he wasn’t the most chivalrous towards her so far, but surely, he was only serving what she was dishing out- reacting to a reaction and going back and forth.

right? but he had it coming. 

☆ ・‥…   “EEEI-AHOW! That’s my throwing arm!” ・‥…━━━☆ the initial pain was dull and he barely had time to react- how do you react to a kid biting your arm!? red hot pain immediately took over; sharp where her little teeth dug down to the bone, but not hard enough to break skin. the feeling spread from his finger tip to the top of his head. he gripped his elbow with his free hand and tried to pry his arm away, pleading manically as he did so. ☆ ・‥…   “OW owowowo- Stop stop stop! What’s with you?!”  ・‥…━━━☆

somehow, he managed to tear his arm away - not without another jolt of pain from the act of pulling his skin from a jaw-locked set of teeth. he landed on his butt with a ‘oof’, his head tilted back from the impact. 

he nursed his arm, tucking the bite into his stomach before glaring up at the little biter. the throb of his arm and his own anger overrode the signals coming from meghan- her emotions were going awry, but so was her determination. it screamed and fought but with a purpose that even meghan herself couldn’t define. 

☆ ・‥…   “I can’t believe you have the nerve to do that! But it doesn’t solve anything, you know!”  ・‥…━━━☆   barry releases his arm to point at her, but thinks against it and leads forward instead. his voice no longer has its playful light- he was fully fired up and serious.    ☆ ・‥…   “if you’re so hardcore, then why don’t you prove it with a pokemon battle!” ・‥…━━━☆

   The girl’s jaw is locked in place and she refuses to give way. Her hands grip firmly to keep his arm more steady as he tries to resist. Barry’s clearly in pain but she doesn’t let up until he rips away from her himself. Slobber covers the red indentations on the other’s skin, while some drips down Meghan’s chin. She glares daggers at him as she wipes it away with her sleeve.

   Looking at the damage she’d done tugs at her emotions further. Part of her feels some sort of satisfaction, as if she just proved herself in some way and exacted revenge. Like, ‘Hah! That’s what you get!’. The other part begins to remind her that doing things like that is wrong and how her loved ones would be disappointed in her. But it was too late to take it back even if she wanted to.

   Her eyes begin to well up.

   It’s not fair--- Barry made fun of her so he got bitten, it’s not her fault! When a pokemon gets angered they attack too!

   “So what? I’m not scared of you, I’ll do whatever I want!” It doesn’t matter what he thinks if he never took her seriously to begin with. Biting him doesn’t need to solve anything it just! It just! Whatever!

   Barry then presents a challenge to Meghan, one she wasn’t expecting. She takes a step back and pulls her hair forward to cover her mouth. A pokemon battle... Well, of course she’d do one! But he’s already beaten her once before ( and won against Volkner for that matter )--- if he wins again he’ll just make fun of her even more after what happened. It doesn’t sound fun that way...

   However, backing out will only make her a coward and that’s not hardcore at all---!

   “Fine.” With seemingly no choice, Meghan snatches one of the pokeballs from her waist and throws it out between them. What comes out is a Pikachu, of course. It’s Sunny, ready for battle!

   Most of the time, Meghan is smiling during matches like these, exuding excitement and passion. Right now it doesn’t look like she’s enjoying herself at all.

elekron:

“When you train under a Gym, you become a role model, especially for kids around your age. I can’t have you going around setting a poor example.” It was hard to stay cross with her, though. He sighed, reaching out to muss her hair. “I know it’s not fair, but it’s part of our responsibilities, working with the League.” 

   “Mmmn...” He’s right. Well, Volkner’s basically always right about everything. It’s hard to admit that when she’s the one in trouble. Looking down at the ground, Meghan frowns and kicks lightly at nothing in particular.

   An affectionate pat on the head cheers her up just a bit. She tilts her head up, noticing the other’s softer tone.

   “Okay, fine. I won’t do it again.” Meghan’s choice of words are passive but it sounds like she genuinely regrets it. Then, she drops her voice to a whisper. “You won’t tell the League, will you?”

pintsizedheroine:

“W–Weird? Me?” 

Shit–!

     She coughed trying to grasp at anything, any means to get out of this sudden scrutiny at her actions. 

Think Koto, think!

“If anything I’m sad the performance wasn’t longer!” 

   “Yeah, you...” She nods, squinting.

   ... ... ...

   “You are?” Kotone’s excuse quiets her down for a few moments. That wasn’t the sort of answer she was expecting. “I don’t know if that’s what I meant... but I can perform for a lot longer!” Who is she to turn down an encore? Sounds like fun!

   In no time at all, they’re at it again. Meghan’s pulling all sorts of moves which the Pikachu copy perfectly. This time it’s a little more like a silly mishmash of dances and it doesn’t stop.

   “Try to dance like we do, I wonder if you can keep up?” Yes, she’s trying to rope Kotone into this further ( but to be fair, she said she liked the performance a lot ).

luckylxss:

“Okay then! I won’t.” That was easy. “But if you are so scared of consequences with saying bad language, then why do you say it in the first place?”

   “... ... Good... You better not...” She huffs, puffing her cheeks out and doing an ‘I’m watching you’ gesture with her hands. The question throws her off a bit. “Hmph, well, everyone else was saying it so it wasn’t a big deal or anything.” Meghan did it on impulse, basically.

[electrikid-blog1]

@elekron continued from here!

“Meghan.” He didn’t have to look to know she was the one trying to climb up him. She was still pretty small, but when she’d first joined his Gym as a trainer, she’d been tiny. But… he didn’t have it in his heart to tell her that she was getting to be too big for this. It was okay to indulge her every once in awhile. With his back still to her, he knelt so she could climb on. “Just for a bit, okay?”

   Volkner was just too dang tall to climb up on her own. She had a pretty strong grip but in the end she’d only slide down back to where she started. Mischievous giggles are the only response the other gets after calling her name. Of course he knew it was her, who else would it be? Get down here, Mr. Giant!

   As if on cue, the Gym Leader lowers himself closer to the ground--- giving both verbal and physical permission for Meghan to get a piggyback ride. She’s quick to cling to him, arms wrapped just a bit too snug around Volkner’s neck.

   “Oka---y, thank you! ... How long is a bit?” A bit could be a lot of different things. Usually when she has to wait for somebody a bit ends up being a really, really, really long time... but when someone’s doing something that she likes it’s really, really, really short. “Is it long enough for us to ride into battle?” Looks like she has a game in mind.

@essenceguardian continued from here!

                the absurdity of the situation aside, audacity be damned to the kidnappers who manhandled him so ROUGHLY, as if he was nothing more than an item to be stuffed inconsiderately into a bag! with a shout, he tries to fight against the force pushing him down, but much to his chagrin, he loses the battle of strength and is soon stifled by a fierce effort from ..multiple pikachus, as far as the aura of his assaulters told him; although how they had managed to overpower a grown, healthy man was beyond him. aside from the initial bewilderment (  and to an extent, AWE, ) that had kept him paralyzed, his outrage was smothered only by the meager reasoning for this kidnapping he managed to come up with. with such a reputation to uphold, the possibility that sunyshore would skip out on its security measures was slim, so he could only surmise that this had to be the doing of one of the trainers who worked in the gym, or perhaps the gym’s keeper, volkner himself, albeit he strongly doubted the latter. as far as he could tell from volkner’s aura and volkner himself, he wouldn’t assert this degree of mischief, and certainly not with this degree of boldness.

                  whatever the case, he still LOATHED being trapped in the bag. it was beginning to get difficult to breathe, and the speed at which he was being dragged across the floor was painfully slow, with no sign of light that he could detect as far as what little he could see through the fabric. both relief and dread washed over him as he heard the zipper of the bag open at long last, his head rising sharply as he took in breaths of coveted fresh air, only to be greeted with yet another surprise: A CHILD’S FACE, whose impish expression was eerily lit by the lonesome lighting of a single pikachu lamp. her challenge was met with stunned silence. it made sense that it was a child that devised such an unnecessarily complex set up for a challenge, but he was too disoriented and lightheaded from the conditions in the bag to come up with a proper response, his tone clearly dazed following the pregnant pause between them.

                               ‘  uh … pardon? ’

   She’d only ever seen Riley from a distance, when she was watching on the sidelines. He’d been hanging out with Volkner a suspicious amount lately... and the Gym Leader’s wistful sighs and glances into the distance were no mere coincidence! Meghan even saw him running about on Valentine’s Day--- that never happens!

   Volkner hadn’t told her anything himself but Meghan wouldn’t be fooled... there was definitely something going on between these two. Even the other Gym Trainers thought so and were witnesses to crucial evidence! Though, they weren’t as invested in it as Meghan was. She was intent on making sure whether or not this guy was worthy of her favorite person’s affections ( and get a good look at him in case she needs to hunt him down for breaking Volkner’s heart one day ). 

   Did he love him enough? Did he have good intentions? How serious is he about all this? And... was he going to steal Volkner away from her?

   There was definitely a selfish side to her investigation. She really did want the best for him but she also worried about his time being taken up more than it already was. However--- if she ended up approving of this person and they absolutely loved Volkner very very very VERY much... then she might be okay with sharing.

   “Don’t play dumb--- I know you and Volkner like like each other!” Three of the Pikachu surround Riley, staring him down while the last one, Stripey, climbs up onto Meghan’s shoulder. “But do you love him? You know, Volkner could easily get anyone in the world if he wanted so don’t think that you’ll get away with being a slimeball! Especially not with me around.” She points at him accusingly, leaning in close with squinted eyes.

   It looks like he’s pretty dazed and shocked, which is perfect! She’s the one with the upper hand here.

   “So... what’s so good about you? And why do you have a crush on Volkner? I won’t let you go until I say so. And--- And if you try to run away then my Pikachu will zap you up!” Right on cue, sparks fly from the group’s cheeks, illuminating the very cutesy and childish looking room they’re in for just a few seconds ( just how many Pikachu themed items and toys does this kid have?! ).

“I’m telling”

@musicographus said: WHO HAS TAINTED THE CHILD

   “It’s not like I’m a baby... Of course I know all the bad words. (Don’t tell Volkner...)” The Gym challengers that lose always say that word so she picked it up.

The tears gather

But they won’t fall

elekron:

“Language. You won’t be training in any gym with that foul mouth.” 

   “Eep!” She didn’t think Volkner was close enough to hear!!! Meghan covers her mouth right up. Shortly thereafter, she slowly lowers her hand and pouts. “Sorry, Volkner... ... ... But that’s not fair! What does it have to do with training?”

[electrikid-blog1]

juncity:

[🌟] - Heh, a critical hit!

To think he’d take such satisfaction at the kid’s offense, but after her onslaught stream of wrongful accusations it felt like justice- like a fresh avocado smoothie drink under the screaming sun ( the sun is meghan ). Her scoffing was like music to his jarring ears.

But the feeling went as quickly as it came when she threw out her declaration! Barry brought a finger to his head, eyes squinted, focused on the girl’s face trying to find a match in his mind palace. the finger tapped away as he placed his free hand on his thigh, looking quite like a detective.

☆ ・‥…   “Hmm, Meghan Meghan, well that’s not exactly ringing a bell- NOW I REMEMBER!” ・‥…━━━☆ his finger moves from his head to point at Meghan in excited revelation.  ☆ ・‥…   “You were that kid who could barely hold your own against my Heracross! Oh geez, it’s all coming back to me now!”  ・‥…━━━☆

☆ ・‥…   “I even mistook you for an actual pokemon; your costume back then was alot more believable but I guess you went through a major growth spurt and changed the costume. Dont’ make ‘em your size anymore?” ・‥…━━━☆

   Barry exclaims like he’s finally gotten it. Like he might turn around and suddenly change his attitude ( realizing how great and amazing she is )... but nope. He continues to cut deeper.

   Her cheeks were going pink in color, eyebrows knitting together angrily. Shaking like all the rage was going to burst out of her. It’s entirely fueled by hurt but to her it’s all the same thing.

   Seeing her idol treated like he’s not the strongest hurts her feelings makes her angry! Not being taken seriously as a trainer hurts her feelings makes her angry! Not being remembered despite working so hard for her position in the Gym hurts her feelings makes her angry! Being called names and teased by someone she lost to hurts her feelings makes her angry!

   With all her might, Meghan tries not to sniffle. She angles her head upwards, clenching her fists. No tears! Tough girls don’t cry! Not in front of stinky, lying, stupid trainers anyway.

   For not taking her seriously... for not taking Volkner seriously... he would pay!

   “You’re the worst---!” Meghan shouts at the top of her lungs, stomping her foot hard enough to make it hurt. Without any further hesitation she yanks the boy’s arm, taking it in both hands before biting down on it as hard as she can. It wouldn’t be breaking the skin but it would certainly leave indentations and a bruise.

[electrikid-blog1]

   “FUCK---.”

[🌟] - he recoiled, a series of ‘wha- er-eh-huh’ stuttered across his lips at the little brat’s claim; what do you mean she saw the unspeakable loss?!!?!? to think a toddler was capable of remembering that far, he wanted to give her a little credit, but he refuses to admit anything like that out loud! not when his honor and dignity was at stake!

☆ ・‥…   “Wah-! Call me a lair one more time and I’m gonna haveta FINE you!,” ・‥…━━━☆ he crouches down and does his best ‘thug’ face; eyes wide in a crazed scowl, bottom chin jutted out and topped with scrunched eyebrows. truly. a face worthy of being punched. not to mention he would fit right in with team skull. 

☆ ・‥…   “Listen here you peep-squeak, I don’t know what’s gonna into that fluffy head of yours, but you’re talking to the next sinnoh champion in the making- a rematch with Volkner would be like a walk in the Pal Park! To think you even know about my los-” ・‥…━━━☆

☆ ・‥…   “…hold on a second,” barry’s whole bravo dropped, leaning away from meghan to take a good look at her, and now he just looked lost. his face completely blank as he stared at meghan. he scratches his head. “who even the heck are you.” ・‥…━━━☆

   Ha-hah! Got him! When a lie is called out like that, there’s no coming back from it! Or... so she thought. Barry still doesn’t want to admit that Volkner is a tough opponent to face, or that he lied in the first place.

   These two clearly only know how to fight fire with fire. Before long they’re glaring at each other, each pulling off exaggerated facial expressions to intimidate the other.

   “Liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar...” After the threat he gives her, of course she has to say the word ‘liar’ as many times as possible. She only stops when Barry speaks up again, his voice overpowering hers.

   Peep-squeak?! Ooooohhhhhhhh, you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’! Or more accurately, a bite from a very feisty Pikachu child.

   “Pfuh!” Meghan scoffs loudly when Barry double-takes, suddenly realizing he doesn’t even know who she is. It’s hard not to be offended over being forgotten like that. They battled against each other and everything...

   The adamant and cocky attitude she had before now fully delved into pouting territory.

   “I’m Meghan, the most hardcore Gym Trainer from Sunyshore Gym! We battled before you could get to Volkner, idiot.” She throws in the insult for good measure. Half of it is ‘payback’ for calling her names and the other half is because her feelings are hurt.

[electrikid-blog1]

pintsizedheroine:

Anything to please her.

She nods a few times, possibly forcing a grin, it’s hard to tell just how sincere she is feeling anymore. 

“Thats amazing.”

Please don’t eat me.

She gives a whole heart clap at their performance. 

   “Thank you.” They all start bowing towards Kotone before breaking off in a less synchronized manner. One of the Pikachu climb up onto the top of her head.

   Something was off, she felt like. Meghan couldn’t quite figure out what it was but it doesn’t stop her from acting on those feelings thoughtlessly. She leans towards the other slowly.

   “You’re acting kinda weird...”
