Actually, I've been meaning to speak to you again for a while now...

((This post lies outside of the current plot for obvious reasons :) ))

Lucille stopped to find somebody in front of her, she'd never seen them before... Though maybe in a magazine or something because the individual seemed to ring a bell or two. Nonetheless, the ace trainer waved and greeted the stranger, "Hi," she said, it was a bit awkward since she wasn't used to greeting strangers like this (she, more or less, just went up to them and challenged them really). "Um, who are you?" She asked.

I swear I'm not trouble! || Austin and Steven

After managing to catch a joltik on one of his rare excursions outside of Nimbasa, Austin could only say this: it was a terrible decision. Sure, it was cute as hell (even he had to admit that), and sure, it could evolve into an extremely strong pokemon, but the trouble that the little bugger brought was definitely not worth it. It couldn't at all get along with Alex, was as energetic as it was cute, and surprisingly hard to please. All in all, he just knew it was going to cause him trouble.

Which was why he was running through the crowds of people at  the Battle Subway, constantly muttering apologies to unfortunate passerbys as he tried to keep the bugger in sight. Frown etched onto his face, Austin could only sigh and stop, looking around for the electric pokemon that was far too tiny to be reasonable. It just wasn't there. Panic began to well in his chest (it was still his own pokemon, after all), he almost started freaking out- until he heard a familiar chattering sound. Following that sound, his eyes landed upon a rather puzzled looking man- and a ball of yellow in his hair.

Quickly jogging up to him, Austin embarrassedly recalled the bug into its pokeball, then gave a small bow. 

"Sorry," he mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "He's still young and energetic, and really hard to keep an eye on... But I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Austin- I'm just a local trainer. Nice to meet you, I guess...?" Laughing a bit nervously, the ace trainer didn't even bother asking for the other man's name- he already knew it, and needless to say, was embarrassed enough to die that his joltik had to pick that particular head to try to sleep in.

The song 'Harmony' from IP Man's soundtrack just gives me so many humour Terrakion feels I had to add it to his playlist.

(Especially in his interactions with Steven or Virizion. Mostly Steven though XD;)

Have a listen. XD;

The Winter Solstice @retiredlegend

The months passed, and eventually, the world gave way to the bitter cold of a full Unovian winter, turning the landscape into a monochrome of greys. The sky overhead remained heavy with clouds, rarely letting the light through.

The day of the solstice approached, and soon enough, it was the 21st of December. Terrakion paid no heed to human dates - he just knew when it was the time.

The majority of the day, the Earth Guardian made sure that Celeste was going to be looked after with the dragon family downstairs so that he could be alone. That, and he also anticipated the arrival of Steven Stone.

Settling down in his den, the Muskedeer had had a lot to think about over the many months that had passed. In addition to his memories of Isamu slowly returning to him, he had also taken on board his brother's thoughts on the matter. It was with a somewhat anxious heart that he put his head on his front legs and dozed off into a restless slumber.

Would the human come?

Waking up an hour or so later, Terrakion jolted up with a start.

He could smell a strange scent coming from the lower levels. Sniffing harder, the Muskedeer then recognised both of them. The smell of steel and psychic energy, and the smell of a human.

Not just any human though - it was the specific human he had memorised the scent of in the previous encounter they had had.

He felt a mixture of emotions at the realisation that Steven had kept his promise, but also a pressing anxiety, too. No, he could not get too excited by this. Steven had kept his promise, but that was all.

He could not grow too fond of this human, lest his guard drop too fast.

Still...

The Guardian shook his head of such nonsense and went outside to greet his visitor.

Looking around, he spotted him a couple of levels below where he was. The deer noticed that he was wearing much different clothing this time around; thick and black, which made him appear larger. Honestly, was the human trying to impress him with fake muscle mass or something?

'Always polite,' Terrakion chuckled to himself and settled down on the edge, grinning a little when he saw Titanium with the man. And as it always was with polite people, he couldn't help but tease them;

He snickered some and then stood up, leaping down the cliff face to land beside Titanium and its master. Taking in what Steven had said, he shook his head.

"But we had better get there now; otherwise you will miss the first part of the show!"

Now that he could inspect Steven closer, he couldn't help but snicker again and say, "why are you so... buff... this time around, Steven? Trying to impress me?"

Clearly Terrakion did not understand what padded clothing was.

Maybe to you, but not to me!

Coffee Break

retiredlegend:

The cup of coffee was, at this point, forgotten. He had better things to think about. Namely, what the girl was saying. He raised a brow at her actions and words, then chuckled a bit. Ah, he supposed not everyone was willing to divulge information. What she was offering was quite enticing, remarkably alluring.

It was bait he simply could not ignore.

Still, he had to be careful. She sought something in return, so he had to make sure to make the offer be to standards. He could certainly not offer to give her half of what he found the first round, no. He wasn’t sure if she was interested in money, either. 

“Mutual benefit, you say?” He asked, his lips quirking slightly in an odd sort of half-smile. “What exactly would you be interested in?” He was genuinely curious, but it was also a business tactic. He had to know what she was after to see if he could offer something similar that wouldn’t be much of a loss, in a way.

Sort of.

On the downside, he was slightly disappointed that he had to haggle for information, but it was much too important.

A little smirk kept on her face as the male seemed to have been more than excited to hear that she did in fact have some news to share. Though the information she had would just be.. Common sense for the natives. Fortunately for her.. It appeared she had the visitor around her fingertips.

"Mutual benefits.. That is correct." Though there was not necessary anything that caught her interest at the moment, maybe if she was able to build a sort of.. Network with the light haired male she'd be able to take advantage of it later on. Who knows.. Maybe just knowing him would open some doors of opportunity for her. He did after all have an impressive outfit.. For someone who was going out to do some digging. A sort of.. High end outfit of that kind.

"As for what I want.." She started off, tucking her hands under her chin. "In a way.. An IOU.. Perhaps.. Just having a sort of.. Little friendship between us." The girl gingerly smiled, her gaze shifting to the side to study the champion's face. "You don't think.. That'd be.. Too.. Much?"
