raihxn‌:

bingo.

“alola!” he returns with a bit more excitement than might’ve been expected of him. raihan’s grin brightens briefly as he listens to the young trainer’s plight, nodding gently. his grin dims slightly out of sympathy. “i don’t think any of us really know much about this place aside from…the people actually from here. you’re from the same world as me, though, so we know for a fact that people aren’t always from different places.”

raihan perches his hands upon his hips, balancing on one foot as he smiles.

“name’s raihan. things are okay; couple of my colleagues showed up, which is making up for a majority of my team being left behind. i’m from the galar region— you’re looking at hammerlocke’s very own gym leader!”

there’s a little bit of a frown, hearing that there’s not much known about the place aside from those who have been here. locals and probably even some of the people who arrived sooner than them. he crosses his arms over his chest, puffing his cheeks out for a moment.

‘ that kinda checks out.. but that’s good ! that means that at least if people get brought here, there’s a possibility that they could run into friends, maybe rivals even ! ’ it made it at least kind of easier on them, right? 

‘ nice to meetcha, raihan ! ’ a smaller smile now replaces the previous frown. 

‘oh.. a lot of your team got left behind too ? i guess that’s kinda relieving.. that i’m not the only one that it happened to i mean ! hey, they could all be hanging out waiting for us to come back ?! ’ that’s a hopeful thought, honestly! like they all just got dropped off at pokemon daycare while their trainers got whisked away for a bit.

but the mentioning of him being a gym leader is what has hau’s mouth just slightly ajar in awe. there’s a glimmer in his eyes and he even takes a step closer!

‘ you’re a gym leader ?! that’s so cool ! what kinda pokemon d’you use ? ’

[jusoku]

Mimikyu and Raichu both crowd Hau the moment he exits, Mizuki hovering as well but giving her friend space to recover from the tournament. "Congratulations.. !" she offers, wide smile. Sure, he didn't win, but he got close! And honestly, he survived the cold and snow, which is impressive enough. Time for a celebratory dinner!

his head is hanging, a bit disappointed. he had made it so far, albeit getting gradually more and more nervous as the rounds continued. but! if only he had been a little bit quicker. but the gentle bumps from familiar pokemon, the congratulations from mizuki. 

tears form at the corner of his eyes, not out of frustration or dismay but happiness! he kneels down to pull raichu into a hug, nuzzling a cheek against it’s fur! in return which raichu gives a content squeak. and a free hand to go and gently pat mimikyu. he looks up to her, and flashes a grin, only a few tears falling for even less than a second.

‘ thanks ! we should probably go get something warm. ’ because look at him, he’s shivering just a little bit! but he’s so happy to have had so much fun! especially knowing that friends cheered him on as well.

mimikichu replied to your post: okay, a lot of people are out now……… he’s getting...

(flag waving intensifies!!!!!!!)

he’s putting a thumbs up!!! he’ll do his best!

[jusoku]

okay, a lot of people are out now......... he’s getting a little nervous.... just a little bit.

[jusoku]

he honestly expected to be out by now, but he’s not! kind of exciting!!!

[jusoku]

hey! i just got a new laptop so im going to work on replies asap! i apologize for such a long wait

[jusoku]

@stxrshell || event starter !

‘ you wouldn’t happen to know how to ice skate, would you ? ’ is the first question to pop out of his mouth. while he has been around icy surfaces, it’s never been.. well, properly set up in a sense. or at least as properly as ice can be set up without people hurting themselves involuntarily.

so with that, there was a very piqued interest of actually skating on ice for hau. the only matter of the fact was: how and who would be willing to help him.

‘ s’okay if you don’t ! i just wanna find someone who can help ! ’

“That’s a tough question.” No, really it was easy, she knew what her heart of hearts preferred. The perk of being a skyfarer was experiencing different islands and their climates.

Djeeta appreciated both, but… “I’d also choose to be warm. I’ve visited some pretty cold places and I’m not too used to it either.” Specifically places with a biting frigid breeze. “I do like the comfortable type of cold…if that makes sense? Like a nice autumn day where you can take a nice walk outside then go back inside and bundle up with hot cocoa or tea.”

“Actually during the summer it wouldn’t hurt to be cold all the time.” It’d be handy during fights against monsters that breathed fire at her.

Now it’s her turn to ask! “If you had the choice of having everything you draw become real but be horrible at drawing forever or being able to fly only as fast as you can walk, which would you choose?”

‘ yeah ! i think i get what you mean. like, a kind of day where you can be outside with a jacket so you’re not too cold, but you can still go back inside and get warmer ! ’ those kind of days weren’t unknown to him! but he never got to experience them often enough to enjoy them if he were to be honest.

‘ being cold all the time would help a whooole lot during the summer, you’re right ! ’

though now, at the question she’s posed for him. ‘ hmmm.. ’ truly a tough one. especially considering the fact that he wasn’t an artist to first begin with! he closes his eyes in thought. he really had to think about this.

‘ if i had to choose... probably be able to fly as fast as i can walk ! that way i could get to places a bit quicker without having to move around people because i could just fly above them ! ’ 

as much as drawing and making them real would be a lot of fun, that much fun comes with much responsibility. something he’s not sure of just yet! 

flying though. flying is everyone for themselves! and being able to fly as fast as you walk means that it wouldn’t be as easy to run into people.

..unless you were doing it on purpose but that’s a thought for another time.

‘ what about you though ? which one would you choose ? ’

me, who already has a hard time replying fast: what if. tsumugi.

albireocross‌:

albie scratches the back of his head a little, nodding. “yeah… quite a bit, actually. it is kinda neat, but kinda stinks at the same time. sometimes i want to lay in my bed, and not the one in an entirely new world, y’know?” god does he miss his bed.

“oh, yeah? hopefully the last time, it didn’t suck.” albie thinks about the last few nexus universes he’s in. he pointedly decides that this one is probably the best, so he doesn’t dwell too deep on it. yeah. it’s better that way.

but, hau surprises him with the optimism. wow. is this what kids are like these days? “that’s a good way to look at it! things like these only come with new opportunities to meet people.” even if it sucks when they go home.

hau gives a nod at the sentiment. after all, sometimes you do just need to lay in your own bed, not a bed given to you in a place you’ll be staying in for who knows how long. ‘ i getcha. sometimes, there’s no bed like the one that you have at home. ’

another nod! ‘ yeah ! it wasn’t bad. or very long, even. i can’t really remember much about it. ’ which itself should be a little bit jarring, but it’s probably for the better.

‘ mhm ! there’s opportunities to make new friends, and even run into old ones. ’ besides. there’s only so much time you can spend being upset about things that you have no control over. he’s learned that through trial and error and despite it all, he’s chosen to look for the best in these situations.

me: im gonna do replies and starters!

me: zzzzzzz

eidolonion‌:

allister sways his head back and forth as an answer to hau’s question, even if that in itself isn’t really much of an answer… 

he raises his hands and watches as hau tries to decipher just what he was trying to say. as the other looks down, allister almost mimics the action, lowering his head slightly, though his gaze is still pointedly fixed on hau, which gives him a pretty creepy-looking expression. 

it looks like plenty of people are surprising him today. almost physically jumping and recoiling when hau asks for him to tag along, it takes allister a moment to decide on what he wants to do! he folds his fingers together and lets them rest in front of him. “something will always be with you.“ did allister’s hair just bounce? maybe a little bit. “i… “ he was feeling pretty hungry himself- the gym leader spent most of his time so far just… wandering around, so he had a very vague idea of what was around, but has yet to visit anywhere. “i guess…“

he gives a little nod at hau’s introduction. “’m allister…”  

he... gets an answer? sort of. it was a response. but he’ll take it. it’s a bit confusing though. and a little bit unsettling? 

taking a small glance up to the other boy, he notices his gaze is still fixated on him. and it’s.. yeah, just a little bit creepy. enough for a single bead of sweat to run down the side of his head in a bit of uncertainty.

though, it’s a bit surprising when allister near physically recoils. was it really that unusual for him to be invited along? did he not get along with others enough to be invited? 

‘ huh ? ’ something? ‘ i mean. i have my raichu, so you’re right ! did you mean something else ? ’ what else could he mean? ghosts? ghost pokemon? oh, did his hair just bounce? no.. he was seeing things! but hearing and actual answer to his question brings a big grin to his face. 

‘ nice ! and it’s nice to meet you, allister ! ’ he sits his raichu down on the ground next to him and holds out a hand to shake!

galarprofessor‌:

starter call ( no longer accepting !! ) || @jusoku

SHE’S GOT AN EXCITED look on her face, she’s seen plenty of Pokemon – and she KNEW that some Pokemon looked different according to the region, with Galar being no exception to that !! With that being said though … she hadn’t had the chance to see pictures of all region specific Pokemon. Sonia didn’t need to be a Professor to see that the boys Raichu was one from a different region. Alola … was it ?? She’d only read descriptions of it before and had never seen a picture of the real thing. 

“ Is your Raichu from Alola ?? I’ve never seen one in person before !! ” 

the very obvious excited expression from the woman is contagious! because within seconds hau is grinning, proud and ready to present his raichu as his best buddy! which is what he does, partially. 

‘ uh-huh ! this here is my buddy ! ’ he does a wide gesture to his raichu, who lets out a content cheep. it looks like he’s enjoying the attention! 

‘ if you wanna pet him, you can ! i also know some cool facts about him  too if you wanna know ! like, d’you know that raichu is the only one of the pichu family that has an alolan variant ? ’ and he’s serious! he’s a smart cookie when it comes to knowing things about alolan variant pokemon. after all, he was alolan! 

(though, it may just be a little bit of an excuse to want to show off.. just a teeny bit)

mimikichu‌:

@jusoku​

…Darkness hums. 

It’s not Mizuki’s favourite environment, despite her choice in Pokemon, but the smile on her face softens as she thinks how much her partners would enjoy it.

( Oh, of course, Mimikyu was with her, comforted by the familiar blackness, but it was not the same without everyone. )

Girl sits quietly, eyes studying around her. Mimikyu sleeps on her lap, costume rising and falling in soft rhythm, Mizuki’s hands stroking them absentmindedly. It continues like that, for a while, before something catches her eye and movement halts suddenly, darting upwards from the bench. 

Mimikyu grumbles in her arms, but does not wake. Wide eyes blink with disbelief, and girl slinks after the crowd, trying to catch up with familiar mop of hair. Eventually, she does, her target having stopped to admire a stall of sweet smelling festival foods.

For a moment, she stands behind them silently, almost unsure on what to do next, but–

She had done much bolder things in the past, this person by her side. Memories bolster her, and she steps forward, wraps her arms around friend’s back and leans in to hug them.

“Hau.”

( Not much for words, she never was, but the name slips past her lips regardless. )

he’s never minded the dark that much. how else could he appreciate the sun that returns after so long. though, it leaves him wanting for it to return faster. it’s unfortunate that for this moment, the sun will not rise for a while, leaving him with the makeshift replacements that are the illuminating lights of the streets and homes that litter this world.

but! this cannot and will not deter him! tonight (or today, rather) he is going to enjoy as much as he can! it is a festive time, and while it may only be him and raichu, he wants to explore! he’ll have things to tell the rest of his team when they return. 

(he can only assume when and not if; the possibility of being permanently separated is not something he wants to bring to to the surface. )

so he jogs through the crowd, grey eyes skimming over booths one after the other until he finds his stop at one. and his eyes brighten with an unmistakable gleam! he could get sweets for his team! they all deserv-

oh. ...that’s right. it was still only him and raichu. well. treats for two would be fine. it’d be okay. that is, what he would assume had he not felt a familiar squeeze from behind. he’s not too jumpy, is what he’d like to think! but it’s surprising and his shoulders tense. 

but it’s the familiar voice saying his name that gets him more than anything.

oh. it’s really her. she who has done so much in alola, not only as an extraordinary trainer but as an amazing friend to him and many others.

‘ mizuki ! ’ this has him move so fast to turn around and actually pull her into a full blown hug. the whole shebang with a squeeze and and twist and turn. 

‘ when did you get here ? ! how did you get here ? why are you here ? ’ questions spill from his lips without falter and even so a few tears start to gather at the corner of his eyes. he eventually stops twisting and turning within the hug to bury his head on her shoulder. 

‘ i’m glad you’re here. is that bad ? ’ it’s quieter than the previous questions.

[kny-winterwishes]

oh! okay.. i think im gonna try the ice fish game again!

“ Huhu, don’t think I’ll go easy on you♪ “  She hands Hau his net and watches the fish as he prepares. What she did not expect, however, was the net being thrown onto the water and him staring, intently, as though expecting something.

“ Is this your first time fishing?  I didn’t know how it worked, at first, either! “

You lost, better luck next time.

[jusoku]

[jusoku]

im super tired atm but i promise i am gonna get to replies and starters soon!

but before that i do wanna make sure hau participates in all the fun festivities so if you would like an event starter from hau, be sure to like this! i will be capping this at 6, pokemon muses not included. get em while they’re hot!

[kny-winterwishes]

oh! i'd like an icy goldfish! would it be okay if i gave the ice fishing a try?

“Hoho! Another young soul wishes to try for some fishes? Very well, come on and give it a shot.” 

Clapping his hands, he hands over a paper net to Hau.

Hau has successfully located an ice fish! Now it comes time to focus on capturing it.

It looks like Hau has tracked it rather well, Fuyuto squats next to him, cheering him on with a large grin on his face.

Just as the net goes to hook around the fish, it nonchalantly leaps over his net, spitting some water at the child’s face before swimming off.

“Aww, too bad!”

You lost! Better luck next time!
