'Sup! Flannery here, the infamous Lavaridge Town gym leader! ...Okay, so maybe not infamous, but still pretty awesome. [ part of chasing legends ] profile image credit

Oh, CL has closed down? :c Wow. Um.

I suppose Flannery's independent for a little while now? I don't really know what to do with her XD

Ethan, Marlon, do you guys wanna carry on or are you gonna move on to a new group? XD

[marlonandoff-blog]

Marlon blinked at her. Why was she stammering so much? He decided not to give it much of a second thought. If he had, he probably would have been able to figure it out. Maybe. As much as he tried to be there for people, he could be pretty clueless when he came to the feelings of others.

“Well, I suck with all the fire stuff, so I guess that makes us even!” Marlon said, grinning.

“And I’d love to see your fireworks, I bet they’re pretty rad!”

[hotandspringy-blog]

Good, she'd managed to avoid that one. Not that it even existed. FML. Concentrating on the subject at hand, however - as simple as it was - she let out a nervous laugh and grinned.

"Haha, I've had some practice. You know anyone who'd be willin' to lend a hand?" She asked, glancing around. No idea who else was about, really. "And maybe you can show me some of your moves?"

"Hello there, stranger! Who might you be?"

[marlonandoff-blog]

“Hope I’m invited then, I love a good party on the beach!” Marlon responded.

“A Fire-type gym leader, huh?” Marlon laughed. “I guess that makes us opposed! And I’m no good with fireworks at all, but I can put on a fun water show! And sparks fly when I surf, but I doubt that counts. Haha!”

[hotandspringy-blog]

"Of course! What's a beach party without uh... surfing. Do you, like, deep sea dive or something too? You've got the get-up for it o_o' " She asked, quickly derailing her train of thought. Blushing slightly at her lack of smooth talking, Flannery tried to dig herself out of a possible hole. "Uh, I mean, that's cool, y'know? All the water stuff. Sports... and things like that. I just, uh- I'm... not so good with the ocean."

Great going, Flan. Insult a fellow gym leader, why don't you?

In yet another effort to save her arse, Flannery tried to change the subject.

"But yeah, a water show would be awesome! I'm sure I could set up some 'works if I could get my hands on any. There's gotta be some. Either that or I could try rounding up some gunpowder instead!" And suddenly her manic grin was back. Nervous? Who was nervous? Not her! No siree.

Ethan’s eyes widened upon discovering he had just met a Gym-Leader. “Whoa! a Leader from Hoenn? That’s pretty impressive.” He noticed her pull out a ball, and decided to bring out one of his own. He released one of his own Pokemon. A bright flash of light dissipated and revealed Typhlosion. 

“My own starter was a Fire-type! This is Cyndee the Typhlosion. Say ‘hello’ Cyn…” The Pokemon responded promptly and waved her paw cheerily.  

[hotandspringy-blog]

She'd forgotten how much weight her title held; this guy was claiming to be the best trainer in a whole region, but he was impressed with her? For simply being a gym leader? Haha... maybe this wouldn't be so bad, then. Well, so long as she didn't have to back it up any time soon.

"Heh, it keeps me busy," Flannery laughed, trying to relax. "Glad to meet another fan of fire-types! Your Typhlosion is gorgeous ♥! People seem to overlook them nowadays. Or maybe that's just me, ahaa~"

Rolling the dual-toned sphere in her hands, she considered who she should show off. Obviously, the one in her hand would be the immediate option, but she had a few to pick from. Coal would do. The gym leader quickly swapped the pokéballs, instead flicking the new one into the air and releasing its flash of light.

"Torrrkoaaal."

"Don't mind him, he's always grumpy."

“I totally am not joking here! Look at this face,” He touched his finger to his nose, “do you think this face would lie about that?” He let a wide goofy grin spread across his face.

“Well, you already know my name. Ethan, in case you forgot. I’m the best trainer out of Johto! New Bark to be exact! When I say the best I really do mean the best. The rest about me is only to be found out. Just know that I say I’m pretty awesome, only because I can back it up!”

“What about you Miss Flannery?” Ethan put his hands up. The bright red hair was a dead giveaway. “Wait, let me guess… Fire-type trainer?”

[hotandspringy-blog]

Well, well, aren't you confident?

"Johto, huh?" Mused the gym leader, fiddling with the manic flecks of magenta hair. She'd never been there before. Well, that was what she was here to do - explore new places, meet new people... maybe she could get a tour?

Haha, don't be silly. He's probably got better things to do with his time, Flan.

Her attempts at directing the conversation away from herself seemed to be falling flat, however, as yet more questions were directed her way.

"Ahaaa- Am I so predictable?" She grinned, instinctively retrieving a pokéball from her belt. "I guess you could say that! I'm... actually a Hoenn gym leader. Fire's my jam!"

[hotandspringy-blog]

Heading off for the night - it's 2AM out here - so I'll catch up on replies tomorrow c: <3

/British girl playing Flannery is out, peace!

“Flannery?” Ethan caught the flash of red across her cheeks. However, he didn’t expect her to return the compliment let alone accompany it with a wink. But hey, it’s probably the best response he can get. 

“Cute name to fit the cute girl!” 

[hotandspringy-blog]

The gym leader laughed, a hint of anxiety in the tone, "ah, now you're just joshin' me!"

"Tell me a little about yourself, stranger~"

[hotandspringy-blog]

@the-gee-man intros yo

 the-gee-man said: what am i doing right now? wondering why you’re so cute. hi, i’m ethan!

"Oh, uh..." A flash of pink breached her cheeks, Flannery caught off guard by the compliment. She quickly whisked it away with a cough, however. "Hey there, Ethan! I'm Flannery - you're quite the sight for sore eyes yourself." She winked.

why did I do that oh arceus is this flirting fuck my life why did I try and have a social life

"Uh, hey guys," Flannery grinned, scratching the back of her neck. "What the hell is everybody doing right now, there seems to be a lot of... people o_o?"

[marlonandoff-blog]

“Party? I’m down with that idea,” Marlon said, grinning.

“Name’s Marlon. I’m the Water-type gym leader in Unova. And you are?”

[hotandspringy-blog]

"Hell yeah, a party! Best way to get to know the locals!"

"I'm the bomb known as Flannery, Hoenn's resident Fire-type gym leader!" She grinned - an extended introduction was always the best direction to go in when nervous. "You any good with fireworks?"

[hotandspringy-blog]

"Oh... wow, more people to join the party?" Flannery blinked, stunned for a moment. After a good few seconds, however, a smile returned to her face and she began to wave at the continually growing crowd. "Hi guys!"

[comeneveebianca-blog-deactivate]

“Oh my Arceus, they just keep coming!” Bianca whispered to herself as she realized that the crowd around her just grew more. Then she raised her voice and greeted all of them with a “Hello guys!”.

[hotandspringy-blog]

A hand was thrown into the air, waving towards the blonde with probably more enthusiasm than was necessary. Flannery never really did do 'calm'.

"Hey! Over here!" She cried, a warm smile beaming over to the stranger. She was so cute! The gym leader just had to say hello!

[hotandspringy-blog]

I knew this was a bad idea, I knew this was a bad idea.

She took a deep breath before replying.

"Hey everyone! Flannery here! Uh, I'm psyched to meet all you guys - man, there's a lot of you... Er, but that's cool! I'm totally good with crowds. Yeah."

[hotandspringy-blog]

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

"Taking a sweet dip in the hot springs! Why can't more cities have those?"

She paused for a moment, thinking. "I guess they're all, like, saunas, but nothing beats sittin' in hot water with a cool breeze on your face!"
