“...Heh. Got one.”

Recently having learnt that having Pokemon battles with other trainers yield more results for the growth of her partner, Marigold had been combing the area for potential victims. Unfortunately for her, nobody would give her the time of day. 

Must be scared of the punk rock, she thought.

But over there -- someone was sitting on the park bench. All Marigold had to do was walk on by and make eye contact. When two trainers’ eyes meet, it means a battle is brewing.

With a confident smirk, he adjusts her backpack and walks past this girl.

...

Oh, she didn’t seem to notice... Welp, just need to head back across her field of vision.

...And again ....And again...

Why the heck is she not battling me?!

Subtlety completely out of the window, Marigold just straight up looks at the girl and strafes sideways across her view.

“You’re SLEEPING?! Are you KIDDING ME?!”

The girl had been dozing; conked out on the bench and missing every time Marigold had crossed. She was evidently exhausted from whatever had kept her prior, but Marigold didn’t care for that detail.

“Hey! Wake UP! Make eye contact already!”

“Moxie, noooo! Go for Headbutt! HEAD-BUTT!”

As much as the partners had an irreplaceable bond, the Scraggy still had an ego, and sometimes decided that it wanted to do its own thing. They had set up by a street corner, in a quiet part of town.

“Moooxxxiiiieeeee...! We’re not gonna beat that gym leader if you don’t LISTEN TO MEeeE!”

But despite her pleas disguised at threats, the little yellow Pokemon continued to to its own thing, kicking the Poke Doll Marigold had bought from the nearby Poke Mart for target practise.

“Fine, then! Use Low Kick!”

Moxie looks at Marigold with a rebellious look.

He glares at his trainer for a moment, and then begins backing up. Breaking into a sprint, it dashes at the toy, going for Headbutt. Along the way, however...

Moxie trips on his ‘pants’, sending him barrelling past the toy and straight into..

Someone turning the corner.

Speechless, Marigold watches as Moxie’s forehead connects to this new arrival’s shins.

“AAaaaaaAh! I’m so sor-- I-I mean - H-hey! Watch where you’re going, punk!”

Marigold noisily slurped at her strawberry thickshake as she watched this woman being crowded by the common populace.

“Who the heck is she meant to be...?”

She lingered by, trying to catch a few words from the crowd. The words ‘elite four’ and ‘fairy type’ seemed to come up more than a few times, although the punk girl had no idea what they meant.

Being a runaway who never really learned about Pokemon Trainers,, Marigold had never really learnt about the elite four -- she only just got her head around the basics of a gym.

“Hmmmmmmm...”

~~~~~~~~~

“Hey.”

May stood with her feet apart and hands in her front jacket pockets. She had followed this woman after the attention had died down, and now had some burning questions.

“Who the heck are you supposed to be? Some big shot?”

She continues to slurp loudly on her thickshake before her mouth curves into a cocky grin to the side.

“D’you reckon if I beat you in a battle, I’d get all that fame, too?”

With the lapping waves and the squawks of seagulls in the background, Marigold’s focus was un-paralleled as she stacked the tower further and further. Frustrated that she lost to the Mimosa Gym again, She had found herself guzzling vending machine drinks and using the remnants to form a pyramid. She had removed the stereo from her belt and had it placed on a nearby park bench, punk rock invading the otherwise quiet park.

“‘Come back when you have more than one Pokemon’, huh...? Load of garbage...”

All she needed was Moxie. All she had to do was get stronger... 

“Wh-hey!”

Just as the stack was reaching its completion, a passerby moves by, the wind in their wake pushing against the unstable tower, causing it to wobble before toppling over.

“Nooooo! My toweeerr!”

With gritted teeth, Marigold looks up with a scowl.

“Hey, punk! I was in the middle of something there! You wanna start something, pretty boy?!”

Heyyy guyssss! It’s Raine here! Super excited to be here and to thread with you all!

Here is Marigold’s very first starter call! Capping at saaayyyy 4! I’m super nervous as always, but let’s have some fun w my wannabe punk girl!

(Also, please read the rules page on my blog before threading if you have time! Sounds scary, but I promise it’s not!)

A marigold can represent both teamwork, but also despair.... Which does this flower signify?

May Marigold 14 | Punk Girl | Runaway Pokemon Trainer

-Goes by ‘Marigold.’

-You can hear her coming due to the handheld speaker she keeps tied to her belt, blasting punk rock.

-Got them Team Skull hand signals/gestures.

-Is always seen with her black track jacket. Claims it’s her ‘signature item’.

-Has a massive competitive streak and always claims that she will ‘prove everyone wrong’.

-Direct and rude, but is actually a huge softie and crybaby.

-Only has one Pokemon, and is too shy/scared to open up for more on her team.

-Thinks that she can become Argon’s greatest Pokemon Trainer with only her Scraggy (nickname Moxie.)

-Loves flowers. Often picks them when travelling but hides them on her person as to not clash with her punk exterior.
