FLASHY

LOOSEN UP 'N STRIKE A POSE ! AFFILIATED OC w/ agronregion MIMOSA PORT GYM LEADER ARE YOU READY? GO FOR BROKE !

[kiaidame]

"Raise your head high!" With the projection of her voice, her words reverberate across the arena. Under the spotlight, she and the challenger are the center of attention. A flame blazes in her eyes as she regards the challenger with pride. "No matter how difficult your journey may become, do not waver! Grow stronger and," her smiles softens "enjoy your journey until the very end!" She nods her head when the challenger, clutching their Combat Badge tightly, responds with a loud "Okay!" and dashes out of the arena with a light in their eyes.

She’s been the gym leader of Mimosa Port for a week now. Her arrival, according to her gym trainers, has immensely improved the gym’s original state. Trainers, like the last challenger, leave the gym with the determination to grow stronger even if they couldn’t beat Lucia because she sees them off with inspiring words. Lucia believes it’s actually much more than just words that’s sparking a flame within the challengers. 

“What new trainers need is someone to believe in them. If someone wholeheartedly believes you can improve, don’t you just think ‘yeah, I can definitely do it’?”.

It’s a simple way of thinking, but it still left some of her gym trainers pondering over the meaning of her words when she said them yesterday. She steps out of the gym and stretches. She’s sure they’ll understand exactly what she means eventually. She walks away from the gym with a bag in her hand. Even if a week has passed, the gym trainers and the citizens here are still so surprised when they see her wearing something that isn’t her flashy outfit. She’s almost unrecognizable, or so she’s heard, but her spirit’s the same no matter how she looks.

She wanders outside of the city and heads towards the forest. There’s something soothing about being in Basalt Forest. It reminds her of Alola. It gives her the chance to relax. Which is why she doesn’t expect to see one of the Elite Four Members in the forest. There’s no mistaking it, the woman heading in her direction, heading towards Mimosa Port for crying out loud, must be one of the Elite! She’s always looked forward to meeting the Elite before. Though she had hoped they would have met in a Pokemon battle, she has no intention of missing the opportunity to speak with the other.

“Hey! Hey, hey, hey hey!” She jogs towards the woman with a sparkle in her eye. “You’re--! You’re one of the Elite Four, right?! It’s nice to--” She gasps. “Agh geez! I wish I didn’t change! ...Ah, I can’t believe this sorta timing...!” In frustration, she shuts her eyes and clenches her first in front of her. She lets out a deep breathe. “Well, it can’t be helped! It’s seriously a pleasure to meet ‘cha! I’m the new gym leader of Mimosa Port! They call me the Iron Fist of Light and that of course makes me” she grins, “a fighting type specialist!” She laughs sheepishly.

 “...Though I guess with the way I look now, I don’t really leave that sort of impression.”

psy-elysian:

camille is walking. what a slow day it is, if they were to be perfectly honest.

on a better note, the sky was clear and the sunlight streamed through the city in golden rays, gently moving across the sidewalks.

they’re actually quite content. not that battling can’t make them content — it does, in its own, weird, way — but this is nice too. it feels like they’re an actual citizen, meandering through the city on an off day.

they hum nonchalantly, a nostalgic tune reaching their lips as they move past a thinning crowd. it’s a faint memory of times past, when they were but a baby and their father sat by their side, strumming a guitar and singing.

camille’s senses then flare to life and they spin in a circle, discerning the faint presence rapidly approaching. from what they can tell so far, it’s one of the gym leaders.

wait. rapidly approaching?

the pink ball of energy rightfully dubbed as lucia comes into view. straight at them. right next to her, a hitmontop spirals quite quickly.

“caaamille! wait, wait! don’t move, don’t move!” she screams at camille, and they look and feel a bit apprehensive, but listen to her anyway.

lucia reaches them first and almost barrels them over, but with quick reflexes camille saves them both from a crash by suspending them both, mid fall.

“hello,” camille says a tad awkwardly, letting lucia settle on the ground within several moments.

they’re stretching while lucia is still dropping to the ground, kicking out their legs and twirling their ankles lazily. camille grins at lucia once they’ve finished.

“so, long time no see,” camille offers, holding out a hand for lucia to shake. “what brings you here this weekend? norite’s pretty far from your own gym, anyway.”

Run, run, run. Over and over as she felt the wind whip her face she tells herself not yet, she needs to go faster. Even in that split second where she passes her Hitmontop and is but about two feet away from Camille, she doesn’t stop. It’s only as Lucia registers she and Hitmontop are about to crash right into Camille that she stumbles, goes ‘oops’ and squeezes her eyes shut to brace herself for the crash landing that never comes.

She slowly opens her eyes when after a few long seconds, she realizes she never touched the ground. "...Oh?" She blinks. "Hmm?" She whips her head to the right at the sound of her Hitmontop struggling and sees the Pokemon flailing about midair. A quick glance down and to her surprise, she finds she too has been suspended in the air. "Wow!" Her attention is quickly drawn back to Camille, who is thankfully in one piece. She brightens. "Hello!!" She replies with far more enthusiasm than her fellow league member. As she and Hitmontop are settled to the ground, she snickers at her Pokemon and flails her hands by her side teasingly much to the fighting type's displeasure at having their earlier gestures being copied.

When they land, she taps the ground for good measure. Lucia looks up and returns Camille's grin with a bright smile. "It’s good to see you! Sorry for almost running into you!” She laughs sheepishly as she shakes Camille’s hand.

“I came all this way as training!” She declares proudly. “Since there aren’t supposed to be any challengers this weekend, my Pokemon and I ran from Mimosa to here!” She doesn’t bother to mention that she ended up taking a speed boat to cross over from Esha to Asta. Those were just details. “My other Pokemon weren’t interested, but Hitmontop and I were racing to see who can find the most gym leaders. Oh that reminds me!” She turns to look at her Hitmontop. “I so won this one! Now the score’s four to... three? Huh?!” With eyes wide, she glances between Hitmontop and Camille in astonishment.

“I lost?! No way! Even though I put a lot of effort...!” She grumbles before summoning the energy to raise her fist in the air. “Alright! I won’t lose next time!” She exclaims. “Ah but before that...” She slouches, the empty feeling of her stomach finally catching up to her. Placing a hand on her stomach she grumbles again. “Caaamiiille... Where can I get food?”

For fighting type Pokemon and their trainers, building up a presence is key. It defines power and will. Skill and determination. Pressure and guts. There isn’t any need for fighting types and their trainers to shield those defining attributes of strength when they’re going to face their opponents head-on. And it’s exactly the type of training her Makuhita is in dire need of learning to pick up on.

By the waters of Mimosa Port in a rather secluded area near the path to Basalt Forest, Lucia’s Hariyama exerts an extraordinary pressure from a mere resting stance. They shift their stance as they keep a close eye on Makuhita, their gaze telling the other to watch closely, before they unleash a single Arm Thrust towards the sea. Lucia feels the powerful gust of wind caused by the attack and nods her head. “Thanks for the demonstration, Hariyama! Now--” She pauses at the sight of a stunning crimson Pokemon. 

“Oh?” Though the corner of her lips rise in amusement, she eyes the crimson bird carefully. A Hawlucha? All the way in Mimosa Port? Now that’s something she doesn’t see everyday, how interesting. “Fellow fighter.” It’s a fitting way to address the Hawlucha as there’s no mistaking the powerful will it emits. There’s no need to hide their strength -- It appears this Hawlucha thinks the same way. “You look like you’ve come a long way.” The Hawlucha lifts its wings and reveals its sharp claws. “Picking a fight? Well, I don’t mind.” Her Makuhita looks on with disinterest and turns to face the sea. Hariyama, on the other hand, rises to the challenge.

But the tension is suddenly cut off by the arrival of a young woman. The Hawlucha’s gaze shifts and though it’s subtle, they falter. Lucia raises an eyebrow. For Hawlucha to react this way... So they aren’t a wild Pokemon. Lucia hums in consideration before finally she decide the fight is unquestionably off. She glances at her Hariyama to see he too has withdrawn from the challenge.

With that settled, she stands on the tip of her toes and waves a hand. “Hey, hey, hey, miiiss!” She lowers her hand to point at the now visibly distressed bird Pokemon. “Is this Hawlucha with you?”

She glances right and left. Nothing, nothing, nothing. She dashes forward, a blur of bright pink among the semi-crowded streets of Norite City.

Her weekend training has almost reached its end. She takes a right on the next corner of the street. From afar, she can hear the sound of her Hitmontop rapidly spinning in her direction. She grins. She must be heading the right way. After all, Hitmontop would know best where to find Norite’s Gym Leader since he tried to one-up her in this training of theirs by climbing up one of the tall buildings for a birds eye view of the city. She ups her pace, she isn’t going to lose this time!

The training she came up with for the weekend hasn’t stopped being a bore, she’s glad she decided her and her Pokemon should do something different. Though this sort of training which can be compared to a scavenger hunt of some sort ( and race at some point ) is only possible because she made sure there wouldn’t be any incoming challengers for the weekend. Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to travel all the way to Asta much less the other cities beyond Mimosa Port! She brightens when she spots the Norite Gym Leader standing way up ahead. They’re the final Gym Leader of the league and the final Gym Leader she has to find for this scavenger hunt to be over.

It has been incredibly fun building up stamina by traveling from Mimosa to Norite and searching for the Gym Leaders in their own respective cities for the past two days!

“Caaamille! Wait, wait! Don’t move, don’t move!” Neck and neck with her Hitmontop, she excitedly waves a hand at the other league member. Despite her shouting and waving, her breathe remains steady as she rushes forward with the intention of getting at least seconds ahead of her Pokemon. She’s so caught up in upping her pace, she forgets to consider however Camille might react to her and Hitmontop practically sprinting to them.
