True Calling || Gold & Ruby

[ihaveagoldenrod]

"I guess." Gold shrugged and found his hands moving into the front pockets of his sweatshirt. He highly doubted Ruby would make him walk out in anything remotely feminine. The dude had a pretty nice sense of fashion, he had to admit. 

Oh now Ruby was just buttering Gold up. A smile formed on his face when the other mentioned his personality and looks. Obviously he also had a good eye for talent too. “Weeeell if you put it that way, you’d find no other guy in Johto better for the job.” A grin formed on his face as he gave the dex holder a proud look. “You’d have to teach me the ropes though. I think I can handle it.” Well, he just agreed to it, weather he meant to or not.

"I dunno, some clothing stores, a few shoe places, a food court, TM store, a place that has home decor, mall stuff pretty much. I take it you wanted to run around to all the clothing stores or hit up the food court first?"

[haughtycoordinator]

Ruby's smile widens upon Gold's agreement for the 'show'. This is turning out to be a great trip already- not only does he have a place to stay, but he gets a chance to show off and possibly get his clothes featured in an article! Oh, and he can't forget the chance to get to know another Dex Holder, either.

"Wonderful!" the coordinator beams, clasping his hands together, "I'll have to get started right away," he then begins to mumble, already forming ideas in his mind. He's pulled back to reality, though, when Gold begins describing the contents of the mall. Ruby nods slowly as he listens, debating his options.

"Well... I'll need some materials that I wasn't able to bring, both for sewing and my Pokemon. But, now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry. If you're hungry as well, why don't we eat first?" Ruby suggests, realizing he hasn't yet gotten the chance to eat yet. "Lead the way!"

{Ace of Trades} || {Steven & Ruby}

[waywardstxne]

Almost as if prompted by the younger trainer’s words, an unwarranted, quiet yawn fell from the champion’s lips, causing his vision to become momentarily blurred with the unwelcoming wake of fatigue as he raised a hand to mask his tiredness. Having felt fairly alert previously, the gesture made him suddenly cognizant of the fuzzy quality of his thoughts and the climbing ache in his joints, a conglomeration of weeks of travel and maneuvering about the dusty, tight nooks and crannies of countless caves and tunnels. The inaugural day of their rather impromptu getaway had been a taxing one to say the least, one filled with novel ideas and unexpected reunions, and yet he didn’t want to appear rude. As well, the opportunity to reconcile his differences with the coordinator that was practically the polar opposite of himself was too precious to give up.

 “Ah, excuse me,” he murmured, blinking away the cloudiness in his azure gaze as he straightened, standing behind the other and peering over his shoulder as he refocused his attention on the endeavor at hand: ordering from room service. At Ruby’s question, his eyes narrowed in keen concentration as his eyes perused the black script, and yet he couldn’t come to any stable conclusion, due to an innate indecisiveness and the fact that the coordinator was right: it did all look good.

  “Hmm… I’m afraid I’m going to need a bit of time to think this over,” he sighed, his eyes drifting from the tan, laminated surface of the menu to peer across the room, upon doing which his eyes appeared warm with an acute fondness as he noticed the Aron sleeping soundly upon the plush carpet.

Looking back down at Ruby, he explained, “I think I’m in dire need of a shower after traveling today. How about you make a few decisions while I’m gone, and when I return I’ll include my own inputs? I believe that sounds like a fair plan of action.”

  With one final, amiable smile in Ruby’s direction, Steven edged away from the bed, shuffling his way through the narrow space between the two bedframes as he made his way over to the bathroom. After entering and assuring that his violet bathrobe was still where he had placed it after unpacking, he began to close the door, stopping to deliver one final remark through the small space in the frame, “Well, I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

[haughtycoordinator]

Ruby waits as the champion peers over his shoulder, his own gaze still focused in on the menu before him. Again, he is reminded of just how big this event is- the food options further back that up. Despite being simply hotel room service, the options given appear to be something from a five star restaurant, or a high class bakery. Even the drinks seemed pretty top. Though, there were some names he is unable to recognize... Well, after the busy and almost overwhelming day, it'll be nice to sit back and have a good meal and be able to relax, Ruby thinks. And, especially given the fact that having to battle is definitely going to wear him down,  night of relaxation is needed.

The coordinator's thoughts break upon Steven speaking. Like Ruby, the other needs some time to think it all over. Indeed, a menu of this diversity needs some considering. So, Ruby nods, signaling that he understands. With that, he places the menu on the bed, stretching out his limbs. There was no use staring at it, after all. When Steven mentions a shower, Ruby nods yet again, another yawn following the action.

"Yea, yea! Sounds good to me." Ruby agrees, "That should be enough time to get some decisions made, hopefully." he mutters the last part, his own indecisiveness becoming quite the pain. He simply waves as Steven enters the bathroom, debating what he should do with the precious time he'll have in the silence. He gazes across the hotel room, once again taking in the exquisite features. This is better than any hotel he's stayed in that's for sure. Maroon orbs fall upon the small kitchenette- well, a mini fridge and microwave. Curiosity seizes the boy, and he's immediately before the fridge door, pulling it open. 

There's a few water bottles, and then one bottle without a label. Ruby pulls the bottle from the shelf- it's sealed. Naturally, he unseals it and opens it up, taking a smell. It's strong, that's for sure. Though, it has a rather nice coconut-y smell. Ruby stands, placing the open bottle on the counter, and taking one of the paper cups provided to the room. He pours himself a cup, and begins drinking.

The liquid is strong, and almost burns his throat as it goes down. However, it's not... bad. He continues drinking, totally unaware the content is alcohol.

True Calling || Gold & Ruby

[ihaveagoldenrod]

"Ehh it gets kinda lonely, so it’s nice to have people around." Gold shrugged and shoved his hands back into his pockets as they wondered into the mall. An eyebrow rising as he noted Ruby’s ecstatic reaction to the shopping mall before him. "Yeah, it’s not the biggest one here in the city but it gets the job done." 

He shut up rather quick as the other turned to him. The words hitting his ears made him thing. A fashion show? Being a model? “That sounds…kinda girly…” He was rather blunt, though the thought of getting some money out of it did help Ruby’s case. He still needed to pay his rent and for the power [hopefully that wouldn’t get turned off while Ruby was staying there]. Normally he wasn’t a “well what’s in it for me” kind of guy but for this. This was a little out of his comfort zone.

"I dunno…" He shrugged again, not exactly sure what to think. "I mean…i’m not going to have to walk down some cat walk in a dress and heals am I, cause that’s usually what those things are, and there’s no way in hell i’m doing that." Ohh Gold you have such a stereotypical view don’t you. "I guess you’re gonna have to give me all the details and stuff."

[haughtycoordinator]

Lonely? Ruby couldn't imagine someone like Gold every getting too lonely. Then again, when he really thought about it, Ruby didn't know Gold all too well other than when the Dex Holders gathered for their tournament. Ruby just figured Gold was some loud, outgoing guy. Maybe it'd be nice getting to know him.

"Girly?" Ruby echoed, a sigh following. He was more than used to comments similar in implication, so it didn't bother him too badly, since that was the general idea on fashion shows and shows in the like. He simply shook his head, chucking a bit, "You are mistaken, friend!" Ruby announced, "It would only be girly if you walked onto stage in a dress, yea? And, either way, it's a private showing." he nodded, as if to back up his statement. 

"It would be a fine experience, you've got the personality and looks for it, too." he continued, not realizing how awkwardly his final statement could be taken. "But, it was just a thought! I saw a flier for it at the PokeCenter, but I can't be my own model." he explained with a light sight, shaking his head. Ruby returned his attention to the department store, a grin returning to his features.

"So, what's this place got?"

A Plan Is Being Sewn Up// Serena and Ruby

[fille-angelique-deactivated2016]

A small blush crawled on to Serena’s cheeks when the male across from her complemented her drawing. She looked away and quickly pinched her cheeks trying to get rid of the red on her face. She looked back and took her sketch pad back in her bag before smiling at him. "Hey, do you design, too? Maybe we could work something out to get in there!" Her eyes widened at the end of his sentence. “Work you?” She questioned be for smiling with excitement. “Yes I would love to.” she said well clasping her hands together.

Serena all ways wanted to work with another fashion designer. Her mind was all ready at work thinking of designs that would look fantastic on the male. She smiled and stood up. “Well if were going to make some fashion were going to need a place to work. Right?” She giggled. “My shop is near by come on.” She said waving her hand for him to follow after picking up her bag and drink.

She walked along side him as she thought about what her Pokemon would think of him. “Do you have Pokemon?” She asked well looking over at him. She listened to every word he had to say on there way to her shop. Soon they reached the door. She walked in and quickly called out for her Pokemon. “Guys come down and meet my new friend Ruby!” She said and watched as all her Pokemon cam down from her apartment that was above the boutique. She turned to ruby. “Ruby these are my Pokemon my best friends and companions they help me run the boutique.” Looking at her Pokemon she spoke and gestured to ruby. “Guys this is ruby were gonna work together to get in to the darn shop.” She smiled as they waved at him.  

[haughtycoordinator]

Ruby grinned with quite the prideful smile as the girly happily accepted his offer. It would be interesting getting to learn some of the Kalos styles, as well as getting to collaborate with another designer. Once the two paired up and created something from their hearts- there was no way the boutique could reject them. Right?

"Oh, you have your own store?" Ruby inquired, blinking in surprise. That was quite the accomplishment, especially within a city as large as this one. He'd be working with a real pro, alright. It would be nice to get to work in privacy, too. And, given it was her own shop, she'd have plenty of supplies. With an excited smile, Ruby trailed after the girl. 

The walk was mostly silent as Ruby took the time to look at everything- a luxury he hadn't claimed earlier while running around trying to find his way. His attention snapped back to the girl when she inquired of his Pokemon. Ruby gave a confident nod, "I do! They're my most precious companions." he said. He rushed into the store after the girl, smile widening as he took in all the features. "Impressive!" he beamed. Ruby looked forward to the Pokemon before him, eyes widening in awe. His gaze latched onto the Greninja, who wore his tongue as a scarf so fashionably. "Wonderful..."

"This place is amazing- did you design everything yourself?" he asked, "Ah-! I suppose I should have you meet my friends!" Ruby murmured, reaching for the six Pokeballs on his belt. He released the Pokemon, all of whom promptly began stretching and examining their new surroundings. "This is Serena, a new friend from Kalos." Ruby explained, though his Pokemon were a tad distracted by all the new sights and sounds.

[haughtycoordinator]

Doesn't all of that glitter caked on everything pose a hazard to your respiratory system?

"My respiratory system is fine, thank you very much." Ruby huffed, "I'd be more worried about all the bacteria coating those smelly rocks of yours." 

[haughtycoordinator]

Where is your favorite place in Hoenn?

"I prefer Lilycove City for it's shopping district~!"

[haughtycoordinator]

But surely there's one you hate the most

"Hmm..." Ruby tapped his chin in thought, before perking back up, "When I first met Sapphire, she was adorned in the most ridiculous outfit made of leaves! How filthy! Luckily, she had me to fix that quickly enough."

True Calling || Gold & Ruby

[ihaveagoldenrod]

"Shopping, alright that works, there’s a shopping mall not too far away from my place." With a nod the raven had picked out his destination, leisurely striding beside his pokedex holding companion. He hummed as they walked along, trying to think of something to carry on the conversation.

"You know…if you want you could always crash at my place." He shrugged. "The place ain’t that messy and I have a pull out bed you can sleep on. I’d give you some time to adjust to the city and lest money out of your wallet." He shrugged, letting the question float around for a while as they made their way to the mall.

"…I mean, unless you like high class stuff, cause my apartment ain’t high class. It’s kinda on the lower end of the "fancy" spectrum." That was his own fault though. Considering Golds only form of stable income was playing pool, poker, and pokemon battles. "We could grab your stuff from your hotel tomorrow or something."

Honestly Gold had lost track of the time as they approached the mall he had been talking about. “Whatcha looking to buy? Anything in particular or are you one of those window shoppers who just likes to look at everything until they find something they like.”

[haughtycoordinator]

The word mall caught the coordinator's attention, drawing out a grin from the boy. This would give him the amazing opportunity to purchase new accessories and materials, and to visit stores that weren't in Hoenn. Excitement shone in his eyes as he kept pace with Gold, thankful for the help. Ideas for new outfits were already brewing inside the coordinator's head.

His attention was drawn back to Gold upon his offer. That was a damn generous offer; it had caught Ruby off guard. He rubbed the back of his neck, pursing his lips into a line. He almost felt as if he would be a burden- but Gold wouldn't have offered if he didn't mind, right? As he was thinking, Gold mentioned his apartment not being all that high class, bringing an embarrassed blush to Ruby's features. Sure, he adored fancy things, but not to a fault. Well, most of the time, anyway...

"N-no, I don't mind!" Ruby nodded, "That's very kind of you, I'd like that." he smiled lightly. Well, this wasn't something he'd been planning on. But he didn't mind, really. Getting to know this Gold character wouldn't be a bad idea, really. 

They'd arrived at the mall sooner rather than later, to Ruby's delight. His eyes shone, hands clasping together in glee. "Ah-wonderful!" he grinned, turning to Gold. Ruby was about to explain his intentions, when a thought struck him. If he was going to stay with Gold, they'd have quite a bit of time together, so...

"Hey! They're having a private fashion show here in a few days, but the artist can't model their own clothing line... How would you feel about being my model?" Ruby turned so he was facing Gold. Indeed, the guy would make for a fine model indeed, "We could split the prize money, of course!" 

[haughtycoordinator]

True Calling || Gold & Ruby

[ihaveagoldenrod]

"Really?" Gold’s expression went a bit bewildered for a second. "I mean…I thought you looked pretty pale for Hoenn standards but I didn’t know you were a Johto native." Another grin crossed his face. "Yeah, you can’t beat good ole Goldenrod." He nodded and leaned back on the bench, arms stretching out to either side of him as he inhaled a deep breath of the city’s air, letting it out with a heavy sigh. A hand moved to give the back of Ruby’s shoulder a light pat. 

"Ahh it’s alright, I ain’t gonna pick on you for getting lost." He teased a bit more before returning to a more serious tone, if serious was even a tone Gold could get. "Honestly if you can keep your eyes on radio tower you’ll never get lost." He pointed up to the tall black building that loomed over the rest of the city like a titan. 

"They made it bigger so they could hit other radio stations in different regions. If you watch where the satellite is pointing you can determine your position from it. It’s always pointing north." See, Gold wasn’t dumb all the time. "But that only goes so far, you still don’t remember where the hell anything is." With that he hopped up once again, taking Ruby’s wrists and hoisting him up as well. "So, whatcha need a "memory refresher" on? I’ll keep it simple, no backroads. Also no busses, the transit system here is all sorts of fucked up, it’s faster just to walk or bike or something." 

[haughtycoordinator]

"My skin is not pale, thank you," Ruby corrected, "It's very well taken care of, so I don't burn." he explained, gesturing to his face. Though, he decided to let the topic drop once Gold began speaking of Goldenrod. He nodded in agreement. Even though most of his adventures had taken place in the cities of Hoenn, nothing would ever be better than a good day in Goldenrod. His mind wandered once again, but was brought back to reality with a tap of his shoulder.

"I sure hope you wouldn't," Ruby replied, "I am grateful for your help, though." he added, a bit softer. Indeed, if Ruby hadn't run into Gold, he'd probably he wandering around in circles like a Poochyena chasing it's tail. Maroon eyes followed Gold's hands up to the radio tower. Gold was right, the thing has gotten bigger. Much bigger. Yea, that was a good land mark. 

Ruby stayed silent and listened intently as Gold spoke, making a mental list of everything the boy said. "Satellite, north, right." he echoed, nodding a bit. He was a bit startled when Gold pulled him up, his thought train derailing. However, the action wasn't too different than what he dealt with around Sapphire. 

"Well, I arrived last night and got unpacked in my hotel.. I was planning on doing some shopping today, but I can't seem to find my way there. Also, I'm pretty sure I've no idea where my hotel is, either." Ruby let out a sigh, "I should have grabbed a map at the Pokemon Center while a had the chance, huh?" he laughed at himself a bit, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. 

[haughtycoordinator]

If you could have picked any Pokemon (Legendaries excluded of course) to be your very first which one would you have picked? Why?

"Actually- I don't think I could have asked for better starters. Ruru, Nana, and Coco are all amazing, and I'm so grateful to have started with them!" 

[haughtycoordinator]

What's your opinion on the two Champions of Hoenn?

"Steven is way too into those rocks of his. They're so boring! And they smell bad! But, he's a cool battler, I guess."

 "Wallace is simply fabulous! He's an amazing coordinator, and I really look up to him as a mentor!" 

[haughtycoordinator]

What's your favorite thing about coordinating?

"Preforming alongside my Pokemon, of course!" Ruby boasted, "It's such a great feeling, really! To be able to nail a combination and have the crowd cheer for my Pokemon and I, that's one of the best feelings in the world."
