did u consider updating your joltik bitten jacket yet

      “'Scuse me, my jacket's fine. It's got character.” He tugged at his sleeves a bit, and quite honestly it'd not a false observation to say that his jacket's a little ratty seeing as he's had the same one for years, and maybe it is time for a new one... But you'd never hear it from him.

How do you prefer your Feebas. Fried, baked, or sushi?

      “Ne'er had it in general. Not sure I'd like it. Not sure I can afford it!” (So, he can't say.)

☾: a place you want to visit

write TALK about...

          “Sunyshore.”

     He laughed, though honestly he was probably the only one who found that funny. Once the moment passed and his grin faded into a slightly amused, tight-lipped smile, though, the fact that he should probably give a serious answer seemed to dawn on him.

     “'Lright, 'lright...” he mumbled, pausing for a moment, as if he wasn't sure about just going with the first answer that came to mind. “'S probably pretty cliché, but I'd kinda love to visit Lumiose City. I mean, I don't think I can name one person who doesn't wanna go there at least once in their life — but.” He seemed to abruptly forget but what and simply punctuated the statement with a shrug instead. “Just seems pretty awesome, with the Prism Tower thing and all. But I don't think I'll be going any time soon. From what I hear, Kalosians're kinda uppity, and it's not like I speak the language anyway.”

     And to end off that, a dismissive wave of his hand.

00:00:00 (whoops i've watched the movie that this meme is based on.)

          00:00:00.

     He paused for a moment, feeling the cold metal of the key to his gym in his hand and still getting used to the thought that ‘wow, I'm a gym leader now’, watching the numbers on his wrist finally come to a stop as the soft clicking of heels on concrete behind him stopped as well.

     So — his soulmate was...

     He turned slowly to face the woman who had accompanied him and it took actual effort to not just stand there, slack-jawed. None other than the newly-crowned Sinnoh Champion stood before him, and he knew he must have been looking at her strange because she promptly raised an eyebrow—

     “Are you alright, Mr. Ray?”

     It took Volkner several more seconds to pull himself back together, regaining the composure that he'd been practicing maintaining. He was a respectable public figure now, and he'd have a reputation soon enough. He wanted it to be a good one.

     He instinctively covered his wrist with one hand and, with a smile, replied: “Oh — yeah. It's just a real pleasure to meet you, Miss Whitaker. I was told to expect a visit from the champion, but I didn't expect you so soon——”

isis, thoth, bast, geb

Isis: Do you believe in magic?

     “In a young girl's heart?”

     Even for Volkner, the retort came out sounding awfully humorless and he soon decided to address the question with the seriousness it... Probably deserved. “I don't. Sure, there's some... Strange stuff in the world, but whatever it is, it's definitely not magic.”

Thoth: Do you like to read/write? If so, what genre(s) of books or movies do you like most?

     “I don't like reading or writing. But I do like action movies.” And cheesy romantic comedies on occasion. But like hell he'd admit that out loud.

Bast/Bastet: Do you like parties?

     “They're fun. They can get a bit out of control but yeah, I guess I can say I like 'em.”

Geb: Do you like being out in nature?

     “No.”
