I think Serena is going to work on mega evolution more. I am really bad at that, actually, so maybe I should work on that some more. I’ve been saving up so I can get a spare jacket for the snow gym place, but I’m not ready to head out yet. I’ve been staying at the farm but I think I’ll head home soon, just for a visit. Mom’s trying but I don’t• want to talk about Professor Sycamore.

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.
"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?"
"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."
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?"
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.
"... 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.
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.
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."
”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!”
"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!"
”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?”
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.
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.”
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?"
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.”
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..."
”...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!”

”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?”
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.
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.”
(@zoruascanbetrainerstoo) Hihi! Are you trying to become champion of Kalos too? -Illanero
hello! I am, yeah! Not really for any particular reason, but it’ll get me a decent amount of money for my mom and I, I guess. I mostly like getting gym badges honestly.
You’re going for it too then? best of luck! with everything that just happened here I...kind of took a break and just worked my jobs and hung out at home for a while. I think I’m ready to go challenge the next gym though. how many badges do you have?
I already did it a few weeks ago! Though I don't think we're in the same world.
I'm trying to become champion of every region! I'm currently champion of Hoenn, Kalos, and Kanto! And I have 35 badges! 8 from Hoenn, 8 from Kalos, 8 from Kanto, 3 from Galar, 2 from Paldea, and 6 from Unova!
Oh that’s awesome! Do you have any advice for the last gym badge for Kalos? I honestly don’t know much about what to do for that, and I’m a bit nervous about it, especially after taking a break from battling for a bit.
It doesn’t sound like we’re in the same world, but it certainly doesn’t make it any less of an accomplishment! It’s cool how many badges you’ve gotten, you and your teams must be very skilled!

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?"
"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."
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?"
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.
"... 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.
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.
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."
”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!”
"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!"
”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?”
um, I live in Kalos, I’m not sure where you are but I like carbink even if I mostly end up with dragon types, I do like rock types too.
also I really like the dig site kind of stuff so do let me know if you find anything interesting? I don’t know if we’re even in the same timeline or what...
oh sick! I'm like brand new here. no idea where stuff is, I just know that I'm like somewhere between route 11 and a cave. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about what we're digging up but I'll talk to the prof about it! it's kind of a small site but you could probably find it easier from the air if you've got a flying pokemon you can ride
I'm chill w dragons as long you're chill w fairies lol
nice! and I’m chill with fairies, yeah. I think Featherduster would throw a fit if I wasn’t, haha (my spritzee). I know the area, yeah! I might try to stop by soon, I know the area pretty well at this point. I moved here too not too long ago, but I’ve spent my time all over the region so I know some cool areas. Or, at least they’re cool to me.

Hey Rotumblr!
I'm visiting Kalos right now, helping with an excavation just off route 11 and would like to meet other trainers in the area! I literally moved all the way from Unova, I'm just here as hired muscle so if you're looking for a scholarly or professor-y type, I'm sorry to disappoint. I'm just a nerd who really loves carbink and couldn't resist the opportunity to see one in person! I'll probably mostly post about my experiences on the digsite here. And also probably gush about carbink because they're so cute! :)
Anybody want to be mutuals? hmu if you like rock and fairy types, they're my favorite! (If you have a carbink I'll be your best friend forever)
um, I live in Kalos, I’m not sure where you are but I like carbink even if I mostly end up with dragon types, I do like rock types too.
also I really like the dig site kind of stuff so do let me know if you find anything interesting? I don’t know if we’re even in the same timeline or what...
It was so good to be home, but I guess I should head out again.
Tugboat is excited though.
