GUARDIAN OF ORIGIN

this is my duty as one of the ancient sootopolitans, a duty passed on down to me by my former MASTER. i have been entrusted with the protection of the cave of origin. i am WALLACE, gym leader of the ancient city of sootopolis. INDEPENDENT CANON DIVERGENT...

   that newly discovered pokemon...

   he was absolutely STARSTRUCK. she was beautiful, such GRACE he had always envisioned in a water pokemon, but had only been able to truly find his darling milotic. and now, it so seemed she had competition.

   said milotic blew jealous bubbles in the water of her pool as she tried to gently draw her trainer’s star-filled eyes away from the television screen.

hello my name is erika & i am VERY TERRIBLE AT STAYING FOCUSED ON MULTIPLE BLOGS AT ONE TIME I AM VERY SORRY.

aaaand suddenly he was being punched. “ –ow! ” that was unexpected … steven rubbed his arm. “ i think that was more than a slip. ” eye roll.

   ‘ darling, you handle STEEL-TYPES. surely, a little tap is nothing in comparison to what they have wrought ~ ? ‘ flutters eye lashes. is tempted to punch him again.

[originsoul]

steeliis:

      “ wallace, i have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. ”        or at least he’s going to play it that way.

   smiles innocently, and then punches his bicep.

   ‘ whoops, my hand slipped ~ ‘

[originsoul]

   ‘ i saw that remark, steven. ‘ don’t encourage his niece to tackle him, steven. the repercussions will not be pretty.

[originsoul]

spectaculiis:

spots the uncle – TACKLES “Uncles Wall!”

   and there goes wallace, toppling down. he wasn’t exactly MADE to be tackled and NOT fall down.

   ‘ hello, my sweet, darling niece, ‘ he puffed, managing to huff out an answer to her even after getting the wind knocked out of him.

[originsoul]

   ‘ --- and that was how that trip went. ‘ his long-winded tale of heroism and grandeur as an origin guardian finally coming to a close, wallace flipped back his bangs. ‘ after all of this work, perhaps i should TRULY consider the league challenge more seriously, hm? ‘

   may or may not be joking. may or may not be serious.

[originsoul]

ONLINE FOR THE NIGHT! i was feelin’ wallace, as i guess mandus is willing to share my attention with this pretty boy.

i am currently following folks back, but if you would like a SHORT STARTER, GIVE THAT ❤ SOME LOVE.

i’m going to following folks back, too; thanks for following!!

   for someone to have such an obsession with his former master... it was just... EUGH.

“I beg to differ.” There’s a scoff evident in his voice, playful doubt in his tone to almost deny Wallace of truth in what he’d just said. “You are a better match for certain trainers, while I am the better match for others. Perhaps those populations may overlap, but who is to tell, hmm?” Though there was no way to argue the fact his friend had defeated him in a match, witnessed by the Pokemon Association itself, Steven held fast to the belief that they had failed to bring out the best in one another in that match – the one time it mattered the most.

That was the reason he wished to one day, battle his longtime friend once more.

The question Wallace voiced, however, drew an end to the playful tone of the heir, Stevens eyes darkening briefly as he looked to the table between them. He allows an uncharacteristic expression to take form on his features, visible for only a moment before he whisked it away under a rather serious and contemplative mask.

“My roots have, and always will be, in Mossdeep, my friend.” At last he looks up once more, steel blue irises capturing Wallace’s gaze. “However, I have been able to travel far from them…in the future I will not be so lucky. It’s likely that I’ll be restricted to the Hoenn region – not that I have qualms with such a location. But, even in an entire region I find myself with the ability to, as many call it, ‘go stir-crazy’.”

The truth of the matter, as he was sure Wallace knew quite well, was that such a prospect was nothing short of GRIM to Devon’s heir.

   ‘ perhaps one day, my dear steven, you will learn to SETTLE. for your roots are drawn out rather thin, and hardly stay properly seated in the soil you claim to be your home. you tend to... shift them, rather often. ‘ the bangles along his forearms chimed together as he reached out, dropping a couple of cubes of sugar into his coffee, and fetching his spoon to stir it.

   ‘ i could not imagine trying to travel as much as you do---and i already travel plenty, given my status. ‘ champion AND guardian. it was a struggle, at times, to maintain both identities, but love and devotion kept him afloat, rather than sinking deep.

   ‘ maybe you will be able to find balance. splurge on the occasional vacation, and flee from hoenn the moment it arises. certainly, your father is capable of escaping his desk, every once in awhile? ‘ surely not as often as fidgety steven stone, but surely often enough. ‘ it is not as if we have TRAPPED you here. you are a man with a free will, just like any of us. ‘

          One side of her mouth lifted in an awkward kind of smirk. A Kingdra, eh? “Looks like pretty boy here’s go’ a way wit’ words. Consider th’ point taken. ‘Sides, images aside, th’ only beaut I can think that migh’ rival a Kingdra’s cuteness would be Dewgong… Y’ get mad points f’r that.”

   ‘ ah, dewgong are INCREDIBLY lovely and elegant creatures, yet, nothing can quite match that of a kingdra... ‘ off in his own dreamland, he did not seem to notice that he had earned points for his superb imagery. it was simply a CORRECTION on the part of a person incapable of properly wooing anybody. ‘ such majesty. ‘ he sighed.

[originsoul]

          “You’re lucky I unde’stand wha’ you’re sayin’, ‘cause no matter how much ya try t’ make tha’ sound good, it still sounds like you’re callin’ me big more than th’ Horsea small. Bu’ I agree. Ponyta migh’ work better.” 

   ‘ no, no, no! a ponyta simply is unfit! ‘ he huffed, looking rather indignant that she would use ponyta as a term for herself. ‘ they simply need to correct their terminology! merely switch to the fully evolved kingdra, beautiful and elegant, a master of the seas! a fearsome foe, but the most beautiful dancer of water when set upon the stage! ‘

   he flipped his bangs out of his eyes, seeming to shine as he illustrated his image of kingdra. ‘ AND kingdra is large enough to ride. ‘
