The Master of Darkness

Whether or not you get to fight at full strength, whether or not luck smiles on you--none of that matters. Only results matter. And a loss is a loss. See, victory shines like a bright light. And right now, you and your Pokémon are shining brilliantly. Hello. I am Grimsley Giima of the Elite Four. I care not for formalities, only exitement. Make my blood boil with your battles! Make my heart dance with your Moves. Though, I am up for "Casual" Conversation as well, if you so choose.

Not-so-slowly losing respect for a once friend. Great.

Anyone Around?

“You’d think so. But power is no fun without a little time to enjoy yourself. I simply took over the country, and played around a bit. The people are actually really nice. They’re fine with me taking over surprisingly. But yes, I have been quite busy… it’s also a lot of fun though. They designed me a new sniper rifle!”

She rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hip. “you and your guns. I guess some people never really do change.” She dare not admit it, but she was a little thankful for that.

“If I had my own country, it would probably go to pot eventually. I think I’d be too lenient in my laws and such…”

He couldn't help but laugh, holding his hand out as the small silver ring on his hand began to unwind and expand, into a large, chrome sniper rifle, standing as tall as you, with a glimmer as a father standing next to a proud son. "It's beautiful...isn't it?"

[h0tsparks-deactivated20120810]

He cleared his head, and regained his composure, that cool expression held as he ran a hand through his hair. 

“ah… well I’ve been up to the bureaucratic nightmare that is taking over a country. It’s quite boring being this powerful at times though. It’s interesting to explore outside of the unova region though, so I must say it was nice. I have the official title of König Gima though.”

She nodded as she listened carefully to his story. “Wow..it really sounds like you’ve been on a bit of an adventure…” She thought about what she had done. She’d stayed in Unova, to keep an eye on the Gym, but she had also met a few really cool people, like the Angel, Stocking, and the lost traveller, Eridan. 

“So I guess you’re pretty busy all the time then, with that much power and responsibility.”

“Dear, if the man was fool enough to leave someone as beautiful as you, then he truly does not deserve to have you. Not all men could handle the Pike Queen.” He gave a small chuckle standing from the couch as he held his hand out to assist her up as well. 

“Shall we try our luck in getting her up?”

[queen-azami-blog]

Azami smiled, “thank you for your kind words, but you don’t know all the details, i dont really want to share them, but he has every right for some time off i suppose~” She gently put Blaze on the couch and took his hand to stand off the couch, but let it go right when she stood up. “her rooms the first down the hall.~” 

[grimsleygima-blog]

You shrug.

"I may not know the reason, but I still wouldn't understand it. From that implication though, you seem to be getting back with him soon, yes?" You turn to face the door, knocking gently. You raise your voice to a falsetto. "Hellooooooooo?"

[grimsleygima-blog]

“Well I’m sure I could get something out of her. Though, I’m sorry to hear about you and him separating. Tis truly a shame.. ” He pats her shoulder comfortingly. 

“I take it she was fond of him? I’m really sorry.. do you even know if he will ‘return’ ? “

[queen-azami-blog]

“yes, it was his decision though, i feel like i should have stopped him from leaving, but i give up too easily.” she forced a smile. “Cecily looked up to him like he was her father, but no, i have no idea if he will.~”

[grimsleygima-blog]

[h0tsparks-deactivated20120810]

He couldn’t help but feel his smile grow into an uncharacteristically large grin as he attempted to supress it, looking away for a moment before turning back to her, his cheeks tinted ever so slightly pink. 

“Ah, well you’re welcome dear. I… so what have you been up to in my leave?” he stumbled over the words, trying to qualm any residual feelings. 

She caught sight of that weakness that he still possessed and chuckled. Despite the fact they were no longer together, there was clearly something there, for him anyway. She wasn’t sure how she felt about it, but it was silly to assume anything anyway. She put it down to heat that he was so flustered, but deep down she knew that it wasn’t the case.

“Well, I’ve been helping Andre out a lot, apart from that I’ve done next to nothing, other than working on my fashion line… How about yourself?”

[grimsleygima-blog]

He cleared his head, and regained his composure, that cool expression held as he ran a hand through his hair. 

"ah... well I've been up to the bureaucratic nightmare that is taking over a country. It's quite boring being this powerful at times though. It's interesting to explore outside of the unova region though, so I must say it was nice. I have the official title of König Gima though."

[grimsleygima-blog]

“Oh? And why is this? I would love to meet her if you don’t mind. I’m rather fond of children.” You give her a slightly puzzled look, your eye darting to the pokemon and then back to her. Didn’t seem like her type….  ”Is this pokemon yours?”

[queen-azami-blog]

Azami nodded, “yes you can, im not sure she’ll talk to you though,” she looked back down at Blaze and started to pet him. “this Pokemon isnt mine, its my ex boyfriends, we recently broke up, ans he left his Pokemon in my care till he ‘returns’.” she said with a small sigh, “him leaving is why Cecily wont talk to me, and Blaze wont do anything but lay around.~”

"Well I'm sure I could get something out of her. Though, I'm sorry to hear about you and him separating. Tis truly a shame.. " He pats her shoulder comfortingly.

[h0tsparks-deactivated20120810]

“Oh, I’m pleased that my wardrobe is up to your standards, A woman of fashion approving of my dress is a very good thing to me.. though, I have always adored your fashion as well. Your eyes still retain that familiar tenacity I see.” The last part was a jest, though he found himself chuckling a bit, missing the interaction with his former wife. She was truly a wonderful friend. 

She laughed gently. the sound light and genuine. She found herself re-countering memories in her mind of when they used to go to her fashion shows and when she persisted in him allowing her to alter his clothing for him. 

“Thank you, I suppose.” She giggled, wrapping a headphone cord around her fingers.

[grimsleygima-blog]

He couldn't help but feel his smile grow into an uncharacteristically large grin as he attempted to supress it, looking away for a moment before turning back to her, his cheeks tinted ever so slightly pink. 

"Ah, well you're welcome dear. I... so what have you been up to in my leave?" he stumbled over the words, trying to qualm any residual feelings. 

[grimsleygima-blog]

You nod and smile, coming in and eyeing the couch for a moment, before deciding on sitting rather close to her. You lean back, and cross your legs, lacing your fingers over your knee as you turn to face her. 

“So miss Lucky, do tell me, how have you been since our last conversation?”

[queen-azami-blog]

She watched as he chose his seat carefully, right next to her. “things have been a roller coaster, my daughter refuses to leave her room, and to talk to me.~” her eyes wandered to the floor where she saw Blaze, Noland’s Quilava, she picked him up and placed him on her lap.

[grimsleygima-blog]

"Oh? And why is this? I would love to meet her if you don't mind. I'm rather fond of children." You give her a slightly puzzled look, your eye darting to the pokemon and then back to her. Didn't seem like her type....  "Is this pokemon yours?"

[h0tsparks-deactivated20120810]

Stricken by the seriousness of her declaration, his smile turned sweet as he nodded in agreeance. “Aye, my dear I find it nigh impossible to ever forget someone so wonderful as yourself either.” 

“Ever the complimentary gentleman.” She felt her cheeks pinken, but knew it was just a result of the compliment, not necessarily because of who had delivered it. Her eyes wandered carefully over his figure and travelled back to meet his gaze.

“You look as splendid as ever, I see. I always admired your taste in attire.” She giggled before tilting her head, only slightly.

She was truly a wonderful friend. 

[grimsleygima-blog]

“Oh? I’m sorry I had to have a reason to visit a dear friend of mine.” His hands tucked behind his back with a smirk. 

“So shall you let me in? Or are you actually displeased to see me?”

[queen-azami-blog]

“im never displeased to see anyone, but yes, do come in~” she gave him a small smile and walked into her living room, taking a seat at the couch, “please, sit anywhere.~”

[grimsleygima-blog]

You nod and smile, coming in and eyeing the couch for a moment, before deciding on sitting rather close to her. You lean back, and cross your legs, lacing your fingers over your knee as you turn to face her.

[h0tsparks-deactivated20120810]

He couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing Elesa curtsy was a once in lifetime viewing, though he stifled the laughter that emerged, his smirk turning into a genuine smile. “I’m fairly well myself. Simply… bored. I’ve been away for so long, I swear no one even remembers me anymore.” Give a small chuckle.

Elesa, although she was a very “modern” lady, did however retain mannerisms she had been brought up with by her sophisticated family. It had kind of stuck with her since her childhood. She brushed back a strand of hair from her face and she spoke softly.

“I could never forget you, Grimsley.” She almost felt the urge to wink or pull a silly face, but she retained herself, smiling at him even more.

Good morning dear “Queen”.

“oh my,” she gave him a confused look, “Good Morning Grimsley, now tell me, what brings you to my door?~”

"Oh? I'm sorry I had to have a reason to visit a dear friend of mine." His hands tucked behind his back with a smirk.

“I’m well thank you. How are you?” She smiled and curtsied, returning his politeness.

"Hmph."

[grimsleygima-blog]

Hello Mr Grimsley~

Oh hello Miss Elesa, how are you on this fine afternoon?

You bow with your familiar smirk on your lips.
