“slowpoke tails. yum.” and through the humdrum tone of her voice lied genuine interest; leila was a foodie, after all, and her reporting job allowed her to partake in this interest of hers. “my parents knew someone who knew someone who made their own with some special recipe. they live pretty far away though.” cue the sipping from her own juice drink before speaking up again. “care for some sodium-filled cuisine instead? i know this shiny place, perfect for indulging.”

‘sodium-filled cuisine?’ oh, this girl was fancy. and she looked it, too. “shiny place, huh?” echoed rey, not entirely sure she understood what the other was yapping about. “are you paying or something? is this a date?”

“you should have said something sooner, i had some packed from when i last went to johto. sucks to suck, i guess,” nalini said, shrugging. she looked around, trying to think of a place in nacrene city that sold what rey was talking about. nothing came to mind, but she had some time to kill. “wanna browse the shops? i don’t have anything planned for the rest of the day.”

“no way! you know i LOVE slowpoke tails!” well, she did... on some days... their tastes changed regularly, okay? it was normal. “you should’ve at least thought to offer,” she said, as though they weren’t literally talking to an executive. at the other’s invitation, she said, “alright. i was gonna try to find some jigglypuff and draw on their faces, ‘cause let’s see how they like that, but i can’t really find any here in unova. we can browse shops.”

“Slowpoke Tails?” Carmichael has heard of the treats but never tried them himself. “Uh… I’m not sure. Maybe?” He was still learning about the different parts of the Unova region, he has only been to two cities and that was it. “Have you asked a local? Or looked it up online? Maybe there’s a tour site that you can check out and use.” 

“I tried to ask in Castelia, but the people there are so busy.” At one point, she thought it would be funny to just start purposely bumping and crashing into people, but they don’t think it’s the kind of thing the guy would like to hear about. Still gnawing on the strap of her bag, she says, “You’re not from here either?”

[rahcyu]

LOCATION: Anywhere suitable in Unova (except Castelia City).

“You don’t suppose they sell Slowpoke Tails anywhere here, right?” She was already missing the delicious delicacy, which were abundant in Johto. (And even though they were a member of the nefarious Team Stygian, she made sure that the Slowpoke Tails she stole were always ethically sourced.) “I’ve already been to Castelia for the Casteliacones, but I’m still hungry,” they lamented.

LOCATION && WITH WHOM : : CASTELIA CITY W / @shadowstart​

“If you’re wondering if you can pet him, you can, he adores the attention.” It was one of the few times Leo was allowed out of his Pokeball and every single time, he tried to eat up whatever attention that could be thrown in his direction. As if Zuri didn’t love him which they did and a lot, mind you. “His name is Leo by the way.” 

[rahcyu]

“Oh?” Rey didn’t expect to hear that from one of the higher-ups. Although Zuri sounded amiable enough, she wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a veiled command. They decided it was best not to go against an Admin’s orders and nudged her Gengar towards the Swampert. “This is my Gengar. Her name is Madu.” Madu awkwardly stretched out her hand towards Leo, although Leo couldn’t actually physically hold her ghostly hand.

ALL ABOUT REY, THE TEAM STYGIAN GRUNT !

BIOGRAPHY

Rey hails from a family of Pokémon Coordinators. She’d never been interested in that stuff, and found the idea of having to be prim and proper all the time super irritating. 

They joined Team Stygian because none of the traditional career options were appealing to them. She has some talent as a trainer, but purposely doesn’t level up their Pokémon beyond Grunt-level. They don’t want any more responsibility than they do now as a Grunt.

All she wants is freedom. Their goal isn’t to cause harm, though she’s aware that she definitely causes it as a member of this evil organization.

MISCELLANEOUS STUFF

As you may have noticed, all of her Pokémon have menacing smirks in their default sprites. Yes, that’s intentional. She loves using Pokémon who have that same unhinged vibe as they do.

Although her Pokémon look scary, she thinks they’re incredibly cute in their own ways.
