BIRTHMARK --> MARKBIRTH !
“Really?”
Being told a tip like that out of the blue was a little shocking, and he was definitely right about it being risky. The flames had turned blue by then, so she decided to trust him, stirring her mix as quickly as she could.
Of course, she did get tired after a while, especially since the mixture was really thick. Slowing her pace a little, she managed to mutter a “Thank you…” between pants.
she appears to have taken his advice, much to his satisfaction. of course, he got tired too, after the first few tries-- watching her makes him feel pretty nostalgic.
“ you’re welcome. “ he says. “ i just thought i ought to give you a hand-- i come to this place way too often, you know? hahahaha. might as well impart my knowledge. oh, now i feel it in my blood... as they of old declared their mantra: it is a GIFT that keeps on giving! “
“You’re right in sayin’ I’m one to ask about the supernatural, but I’m pretty sure if you took one of these potions you could die,” A pause. “Buut, in my professional magical opinion, go ahead and try one! I’ve never a human ingest a potion up close!”
“ gh... your treachery cannot fool me, BLADED WIT! “ he says, putting down the potion. what kind of messed up guy tells you to drink poison... “ you know that if i collapse here, you’re the only one who’s getting in trouble, right...?! “
You’re not sure why you stopped to watch these theatrics, but you did. You don’t regret it one bit. “Nope! I sure don’t. Why do you need over there so badly?” If it’s for a good cause, maybe you can buckle down and figure something out.
“ i was hoping to explore the rest of the cave in search of the FABLED RUNES... but a-alas, it was not m-meant to be... why, cruel fate...?! hrk-- stay, raging blood! “ he says, grabbing his own arm. it’s quite the spectacle. “ the story of my ancestors... it shall wait till another day, once i am strong enough... “
|| | ♜ - Amity Square was indeed a renowned park, admired by many and known to bring Trainer and Pokemon together. As much as he would like to avoid admitting it, Tsukasa did have issues getting Morgan to listen to his words. Well on his way to the park, his intentions were to come to a sort of truce to quell the vulpix’s assertiveness. ‘Quality time’ as they say? To hear of the square’s strict regulations, however, threw a mild wrench into the boy’s plans. | ||
“ That is quite a shame… I do not go to parks often, so I could not help but anticipate visiting this particular area. ”
|| | The disappointment settled briefly on the boy’s face, like a child who had dropped his only scoop of ice cream. Or an even younger child who couldn’t have the toy he wanted for Christmas. Comparisons aside, his attention was piqued at the other’s claim for a "better place”. With shimmering eyes, he looked up expectantly at the blond. | ||
“ Certainly, mister? ”
thankfully, that frown on the other’s face doesn’t last long. he meets shimmering eyes with his own of blazing determination. they scream: yes, there’s some place much better than that snooty “pretty pokemon only” park! yes, i’m going to show it to you! yes, there’s hope for you, and i will lead the way!
there’s something inspirational about imbuing such in those around him. and even if he can’t do it as the hero he wants to be, he can definitely do it as a helpful member of hearthome city.
“ it’s out of the city, though,” he says, “ and we might have to go through some tall grass to get there. but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it! taking on wild pokemon in dual battles is a lot easier than doing it alone, right? “
the proud smile crosses the lips of both person and pokémon, and she can’t help but hug the cottonball baby closer. very soft. the fluff would definitely stick to her dress, though.
❝thank you !! i actually use a homemade shampoo that my papa makes. it’s infused with combee honey and floaroma flowers.❞ she feels like she might be rambling, but keeps on going. ❝it’s great for contest pokémon. i’m, um – i’m willing to share if you want to try it out !!❞
boy, is he jealous. so cute. so soft. as proud as he is of his team-- and he would never want to replace them, ever-- he does wish that they were more huggable. maybe this shampoo will make them a little less rough around the edges when it counts...?
“ the shampoo is homemade? that’s impressive! “ he says, beaming. “ i can’t disagree with that. sure. how much? “ he takes out his wallet, summing up his money. hopefully it’s not too expensive... he came across some pokécare stuff the other day that had cost more than twice his savings.
“Err…” Hinata never really had much interest in contests, especially when he was set in becoming a champion, so this question was a bit… awkward. He couldn’t just say no, this guy seemed a bit too into it. “… Sure?”
“ alright ! “ he says, pulling up a chair to sit down next to the other. what raw enthusiasm. he’ll make a brilliant coordinator of him yet. “ i take it you’re completely new to contests, then? or did you just want some new tips to take onto the stage? “
Jyushi was surprised, but liked the enthusiasm this guy had! He hadn’t been challenged to a battle in a while. He looked at his opponent and their pokemon for a moment.
“Ooo.. a Gabite, neato!” Jyushi thought with excitement. He was thankful he hadn’t forgotten any basics about battling considering he doesn’t really actively seek out trainers like he used to some years ago.
“Cool pokemon! Check out this cool lil guy from my Triple-A Homerun Hitting Team!” Jyushi spoke loud and proud as he took a pitchers stance with a pokeball in hand, sending out an Azumarill.
“ triple-a homerun hitting team...?! “
he’s never heard a team name as threatening as this! this calls for extra effort, extra teamwork, extra play-- a real exhiliarating fight. his eyes narrow as he clenches his fists tighter, studying the azumarill closely. they blink only in response. this team has nerves of steel! but it’s nothing tomato can’t handle.
“ your pokemon may be of strong hold, unfazed by my shadow glare, but they are no match for TEAM OWAIN DARK! “ he declares, ready to initiate the battle. “ tyrant! ... (tomato...) dual chop! “
She watched with interest as the man talked to the Snorlax. She covered her mouth to stifle the laughter that burst from her lips when the Snorlax simply grunted at him, her shoulders shaking in humor. “It doesn’t wanna wake up. Let’s let it sleep,” she suggested between laughter.
“ i g-guess that’s what we’ll have to do... “ he says, resigning on the grass. “ but then we’ll have to take the long way around, right? aw, i just came from there! “ his chest rises and falls with every heave of breath he takes-- god, is he tired.
“ there’s no other shortcuts... or anything...? “
you watch as your companion leaps into the sea, your backside meeting grassy ground as you set yourself upon the earth. in the time you have known owain, he’s never once left you bored, unamused. each discussion with him, each get together and passing conversation has always been amusing, something new. there’s never a time where you’ve felt awkward or weird around him as you sometimes have the habit of getting whenever you’re near a person who is up straight loony as fuck. and for that, you actually happen to give him the small faint of an ironic smile, all the while saying out a quick, “hahahaha.” in response to his gracious bidding in your support.
“ holy shit dude, no fuckin’ way. when you’re saying stuff like that you have to go the full ‘no homo’, otherwise all these people in sight, “ you wave a small gesture to the vacancy of the surrounding area. “ are going to think that you and i are totally into each other. but i’ll let this one pass since we’re cool and it makes my completely straight heart feel all fuzzy and shit to know that i give you the rush of ocean waves and new power or whatever you said. and nah, as for the water, i’m good up here. with me in there, i’ll just taint the groove you have going on and all those mysterious pokemon will hike to the mountains. it’ll be like evolution happening in the swoop of three to five minutes because of how unrated my presence is to them. “
he’s not used to the prose. it’s pretty... freeform. and vulgar. but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. just because it’s nothing like his own doesn’t mean it’s poorly done! he’s a man open to new interpretations of the language he loves. besides-- at least dave’s open to wielding the word around him. he appreciates the man’s dedication to matching length. and his dedication to hanging out with him on a regular basis. despite his popularity, he doesn’t have that many friends from whom he can implore some good old bonding time. the demand of a declaration (’no homo’, as dave says it) is a meager price to pay for such a great friendship.
with his own body in the cooling water and dave’s splayed out on the grass, it’s nothing short of another relaxing day in this strange region of kalos.
“ let it be, then! NO HOMO! i wouldn’t want your, er... heterosexual inclination to be cursed by my apparently romantic gratitude, “ he says, swimming backwards into the rest of the bay. “ but i can’t agree with your self disbelief! your SUBZERO AURA OF FRESHNESS is the perfect bait for monstrous beasts of olde. they would cower in fear at your sheer coolness, but seek it out in uncontrollable curiosity. to leave you behind is to leave ones secret weapon at the armory!
‘ take your time, i’ll wait...! i don’t mind just swimming around here either... the goldeen are pretty cute, huh? “
@birthmark
“ yeah, you go ahead and do that man. i’m not stopping you. i’m staying right here, all to my lonesome self and letting you do whatever you want. see that? i’m a good fuckin’ friend. i’m not giving my opinion on what i think is right or wrong and i’m letting you experience this possible nightmare in the way you’re feeling like you want to. “
“ your support... it invigorates MY SOUL! n-now... i cannot be stopped! “ with that, he secures his pokeballs in his belt, and then dives straight into the azure bay, fully clothed and full of daring. “ the rush of the ocean waves and the allegiance that you’ve pledged... they have awakened NEW POWER within me! come on in, the water’s fine! we’ll be finding those MYSTERIOUS POKEMON in no time thanks to your loyalty! “
“ have no fear, mortal! i, OWAIN DARK, will purge this path of what clogs its veins and pains its heart! GREAT BEAST OF ETERNAL SLUMBER! i implore you to rise! ” snorlax offers... but a grunt. “... please...? ”
@ghostflxwers
“ OHO! are you looking to join a contest? your face is not a familiar one... we welcome new coordinators with open arms. “ he leans into the vending machine beside them. “ if you want, i could totally give you some tips! “
@noshsl
“ gh... i-it’s no use... navigating this area requires a move only obtainable via HIDDEN MACHINE... but it matters not! for i have a trick up my sleeve of the same caliber: a HIDDEN MOVE! “ sunsnatcher lunges forward, striking the boulder with her claws-- the boulder doesn’t budge. “ ... you don’t happen to have a pokemon that knows ROCK SMASH, do you? “
@egbertalert
“ it’s DESTINY! our eyes met, so we must battle! “ owain releases tomato from his pokeball and asssumes the appropriate battle stance. “ choose your opponent wisely! the groundshaking dragon, agonizing tyrant-- (er... that’s you, tomato...) shows no mercy! “
@supersluggerjyushi
“ whoa... your whimsicott has a beautiful coat! “ the cotton looks so soft and clean. he oh so desparately wants to pet them. “ is that natural, or do you do some specific stuff to get it that way? “
@pixitive
“ hey, are you planning to bring your vulpix with you to AMITY SQUARE? ... uh, i’m sorry, but... you really shouldn’t get your hopes up. they’re pretty strict about who they let in... it’s kinda ridiculous. “ he looks with soft pity, but also knowing-- he’s had his pokemon rejected from the park many times himself. “ but... hey, i know a place that’s way better! if you want, i can show you. “
