"Candice~! How's the weather in Snowpoint? I've been dying to come back and explore. Have you heard anything interesting lately?"

Candice brightened immediately. “Cynthia! It’s been so long since we’ve gotten the chance to catch up-- how have you been?” She grinned at the Sinnoh Champion before looking up at the sky. “Weather’s been a bit more stormy than usual, actually. The wild Abomasnow might be getting a bit agitated by the change of seasons.” 

The Gym Leader looked back at Cynthia with a curious expression. “If you want to do some exploring around Snowpoint, you’re more than welcome to come with me and check on them!”

👀 u got a crush on anybody

“No. Well, maybe. Yes, I suppose?” She laughs and shrugs her shoulders. “I guess you could call it a crush? Though we’re good friends as it is, so I wouldn’t be too upset if nothing ever happened between us. I just like being friend with her, y’know?”

Field Work { lucas & candice }

[snxwpoints-blog]

yugurex:

Grey irises scanned the area for the destination that the young assistant was heading towards but nearly every building he had seen so far wasn’t the destination he had intended for. Letting loose a soft sigh, Lucas pulled out his map from his backpack and began looking through the directions that were given to him once more.

Leave it to the Professor to write down instructions to follow but not a proper guide on how to reach the area..

A cold breeze soon blew past him as the young man shivered on contact before pulling his scarf higher to shield himself from the temperature of the surroundings. It was normal for the temperature of the region to be chilly but to Lucas, Snowpoint City certainly took the cake in terms of bringing the temperature down.

Upon seeing a sign that said “GYM”, the young man breathed out a sigh of relief that he had finally found the gym. Pulling out the letter of instructions the Professor had provided him with alongside the map, Lucas looked around for a trainer and explained the situation to them.

As he waited at the entrance, the young man ran over the instructions once more to make sure he had written down everything the Professor had told him to check out. “Hmm…I need to check out the ruins first and foremost. That’s the most important part of this trip. After that it’s…”

Hearing someone address him, Lucas turned to face the source and was greeted with the sight of Snowpoint City’s Gym Leader, Candice who approached him with what he could only assumed to be her greeting gesture of choice. “That’s correct, I’m Lucas and it’s nice to meet you as well, Miss Candice! Thanks for agreeing to be my guide for this fieldwork. It sure helps to have a local show me around, even more so if they’re the gym leader themselves.”

Smiling at her offer, Lucas smiled back as a sign of appreciation. “Then I’ll gladly hold you to that then. So according to these instructions that the Professor had me write down, I’m supposed to visit the Snowpoint Temple first?”

Candice smiled back at him and nodded as Lucas introduced himself, storing the new information in the back of her head for now. She watched while he scanned the instructions Professor Rowan had left for him, hands settled loosely on her hips. 

“The temple, huh?” The Gym Leader gave Lucas a quick once-over with her brown eyes. With his thick blue coat and white scarf, she could tell he wasn’t yet acclimatised to Snowpoint’s cold temperatures-- she’d have to keep that in mind if they were planning on going into the temple, as the temperature could drop quite quickly further inside. “Sure thing! It’s just north of here, up behind the Gym.” Candice poked a thumb over her shoulder to indicate where she meant.

“Did you need to grab anything before we get started?” As she spoke, the older woman untied her sweater from around her waist, slipping it over her head and smoothing it over her chest in anticipation for the colder air of Snowpoint Temple’s interior. “Potions, Pokemon, items? Notebooks?” Candice patted down her pockets, double-checking that she had Medicham, Weavile and Abomasnow with her.

floaroma flower festival { flint & candice }

Plotted Ahead! { @firey-flint }

Floaroma Town was usually a calm and sleepy place, where the flowers were a blanket of soft colours rolling across the fields. But once every year those flowers became the centrepiece of one of Sinnoh’s most popular festivals-- the Flower Festival, at which the region expresses their gratitude for nature.

It shouldn’t have been a surprise to learn that Flint was a regular at this festival, really, but to Candice it honestly hadn’t seemed like the sort of bright and energetic festival that Flint would go to. Then again, Flint did have a habit of surprising even his closest friends on an almost daily basis, so she didn’t give it much thought after that. A couple of days ago Flint had called her up, begging her to come down to Floaroma to accompany him, and as short-notice as the invitation had been she never could say no to her fiery friend.

So there she was, leaning against the side of the Floaroma Pokemon Centre, waiting for the fire-type expert in question. She tugged at the sleeve of her yukata, deep blue with a white obi and decorated with tiny snowflakes (a gift from her mother last year), and Candice wondered absently if Flint would be wearing a yukata too. She imagined he would be, seeing as not only was everyone else at the festival wearing one but this was Flint she was thinking about here. 

By her side, Glaceon sat semi-patiently. The Fresh Snow Pokemon was staring at the town’s entrance, waiting to catch a glimpse of Flint-- but of course Candice knew why she was really watching so carefully. “Flareon will be here soon,” she told her softly, and Glaceon blinked up at her trainer hopefully. “I don’t think Jolteon is coming, though. Sorry, honey.” Ever so slightly Glaceon deflated, but the thought of seeing Flareon again after so long must have kept her spirits up, because the Pokemon immediately looked back to the wooden arch at the entrance of town.

Spotting a head of fluffy red hair making their way over to her, she stood up straight— as soon as they made eye contact she grinned and leapt in his direction with a friendly hug. “Flint!” With a happy laugh Candice wrapped her arms around him, squeezing tightly for a moment before pulling away to get a better look at him. “It’s so good to see you, it’s been forever!” By her feet, Glaceon mewed in agreement, her little body wiggling in excitement.

Even with the both of them being members of the Sinnoh League, it was rare that they ever got to see each other these days. Even Volkner, who she would have had more reason to see in some sort of work capacity, was a rare sight these days; she’d been looking forward to seeing him again too, but for whatever reason the Sunyshore Leader had decided not to come— no matter. Flint was a welcome companion that she loved just as much, and they’d have a blast together today. They had so much to catch up on.

Hands now planted on her hips, she admired Flint’s yukata. “You look great, by the way! You’ve shown me pictures where you’re wearing this yukata, right? You’ve had it for a while?”

...

Ursaring eyed the young man in front of him rather judgementally, as if sizing him up. With his arms folded across his chest, the Pokemon grumbled, “You don’t look like a challenger. What business do you have with my trainer, then?”

[snxwpoints-blog]

...

Upon seeing the fire-type master approach, Glaceon beamed in excitement. “Flint!” she called, trying her best not to bound over to him and failing completely. Once she got close enough she rubbed up against his leg happily. “D-Did you bring Flareon? Can I say hello?” Her small eyes sparkled as she looked up at him.

... + sneasal

Sneasel lifted her head curiously, eying the young girl that stood in front of her. She grinned when she recognised her, showing of her sharp white teeth. “Hey, I remember you!” She exclaimed brightly, lifting a claw to point. “You and your Pokemon gave us a beatdown that one time!” 

Sneasel snickered lightly, cover her mouth with the claws of her other arm. “That’s okay. You were really tough! It was a fun battle, we should battle again sometime!”

1 && 20

1. What’s an important lesson your muse has learned over the past few years and how has that changed the way they live?

I don’t know about in the past few years, but from a very young age Candice has learned that you have to work hard for the things that you want to achieve. As a result, she is a naturally hard-working person, and is always very excited when people win her badge by way of sheer effort. Similarly, she is put off by people who don’t give anything a go, and gets quite angry when people simply luck-out in their goals and don’t have to put in effort.

20. What does your muse think of secrets? Do they keep many or a few and what is their motivation to keep something secret? Have they ever been hurt by a secret someone else kept from them?

Candice has no problem with secrets, so long as they aren’t hurting anyone. She believes that telling the truth is important. She hasn’t ever personally been hurt a secret being kept from her, but she’s seen it happen to people she knows. 

If someone confides in her and asks her to keep it a secret she most definitely will-- again, so long as keeping that secret isn’t hurting anyone or anything.

13.

13. When faced with a tricky situation will your muse be proactive or passive? Will they, for instance, try to get involved when they’re not or will they try to get away when they are?

It’s a rare moment when Candice will simply sit aside and allow something bad to happen, unless she’s specifically been asked not to intervene. That being said, she’s usually capable of staying calm and logical in those sorts of situations, so she is able to make informed decisions about whether or not her help is needed and/or wanted.

[snxwpoints-blog]

3. Does your muse focus mainly on one long term goal or multiple short term ones? What do they think about the reachability of their goals and what are they?

Candice is the kind of person that has a billion things on her to do list all at once. It’s not uncommon for her to have a handful of both short-term and long-term goals in mind at any given point. 

As for what those goals are, her short-term goals usually quite mundane and chore-like. Upkeep around the Gym, work regarding her role as a member of the Sinnoh League, keeping an eye on Lake Acuity and Snowpoint Temple; and so on and so forth. Her long-term goals are more personal, such as bettering herself as a trainer and the like.

She believes that any goal is reachable-- so long as you have the patience and will to follow it through.

📞

Candice startles awake, snatching her phone up and answering it before the ringing hurts her ears. “Hello...?” she says blearily, no idea who is on the other end of the line. But then she hears the other girl’s voice, and immediately brightens. “Dawn...! Wow, it’s been a while... How are you?” Candice pauses, thinking. “But... it’s so early, I was still fast asleep. Everything okay?”

📞

The number on the screen confuses her poor, tired mind. Not only does she not recognise it, but it’s definitely not a number from within the region. Ordinarily Candice would have just let it ring out, but as fuzzy as her brain was she picked it up and said, “... Hello? This is... this is Candice. Who’s calling me so early in the morning...?”
