Oo what about Grusha meeting another trainer who also has an Altaria as a service mon? Can be romantic or platonic
How about both? When writing this, I came to the conclusion that romanced Grusha compared to a friendly Grusha are two very different experiences when training with an Altaria. So I rolled with it.
Another person with an Altaria? You can bet money on it Grusha will be challenging you to a battle anytime you visit his gym. Not because he wants to prove he is better, our frosty guy is not like that. It's more to test his own skills, make sure he isnāt losing his touch and keep both of your Altariaās in tip top shape.
If your Altaria is strong enough, Grusha would 100% ask to do a fly along with you. Show you his favourite viewing spots around Paldea, maybe even race you in the sky. He isnāt just a master of the board you know. Just donāt visit Tulip, unless you want a shoe thrown at you.
When the Paldea weather is feeling particularly nice, and Grusha is feeling Social, heāll invite you and some of his fellow gym leaders to picnics, his Altaria is always out of its ball, so if you bring out yours, the two will play together and bring you random things they find.
Once your Altaria brought back a whole ass Meowth. Just grabbed its tail and plopped it in front of you, Iono almost killed Grusha when she tried to Grab the Meowth and it jumped on his face. And Grusha's Altaria just watched it all happen. Probably disappointed.
Whenever Grusha needed to contact you or his fellow Gym leaders but for some reason or another couldnāt physically go, he would send his Altaria to you with a letter. Sure there's a mail service and yes he has a Rotom phone he almost never uses; but he'd rather guarantee it would make it to you the same day. Soon enough your Altaria started picking up the same habit and now you both send letters to each other pretty regularly.
Blame Grusha for how Competitive your Altaria has become towards him. You battled and lost once, and now your Altaria has its own Villain arc and revenge story. Your Altaria has and will continue to give you the cold Cloud wing whenever you lose to Grusha in literally anything. It could be a game of rock paper scissors! Boom talk to the cloud. And his does the same thing. Drama queens the pair of them.
That being said, any other time, they are quiet and almost cat-like, often just minding their own business, exploring the area, bringing you both things or just warming your lap. Sometimes your Altaria's will swap places. Though yours prefers to sit on Laps and Grusha's much prefers to just sit on your head and blind you.
Instead of Flying side by side, heāll ask if you want to fly on his Altaria with him. If you donāt want to and would rather flyĀ side by side; not trusting his Altaria can handle both of you, he wonāt complain since it will make you feel safe and he cares about that much more.Ā
But if you DO say yes to his offer, Grusha will always make sure to keep his Arm around your waist so you feel secure with him. Your Altaria will often fly alongside you or directly ahead acting almost as a scout, probably looking for the Meowth.
Races are off limits to him when you're an actual Couple. At Least Riding your Altarias. To him, your safety is far more important than a statement. So more often than not, your Altarias will race against each other without the two of you. Think of it as a time trial. Donāt try and convince him, he will stand his ground. Though if you want to ride your Altaria he wonāt stop you, he just wonāt be on his. He'd rather be able to catch you if something were to happen then hope and pray.
On a lighter note, Cuddle sessions during an outing are a must for him. Grusha has taken you on many a sightseeing journey and it usually ends with the two of you sitting under a tree, Altariaā either side of you with his arms encasing you in a warm and safe embrace, his scarf lowered off his face. Your Altarias tend to take the rare opportunity to nudge his face, much to his dismay. Yours headbutted his chin once. Not by accident either. It choose violence.
Letter delivering if long gone, i have said it before and have said it again he will NOT leave you letters. If he has something to say he is saying it directly to you. If worst comes to worst he will dare to use his Rotom phone to video call you. That doesnāt mean you wonāt receive a visit from his Altaria. Grusha will instead give his Altaria gifts for you. And if you send yours with a gift back you may actually kill this man with how quickly heāll fall deeper in love with you.
Your Altarias competitive nature has evolved from which one of you will win to, which Altaria can hold their personās attention the longest. Seems both Altariaās have an attention problem. If you and Grusha are being cute together in the comfort of your own home and your Altarias are out of their balls. Oh look, suddenly there is a fluffy blue head next to you. And who's butt is that in your face?
They have interrupted your dates before, and have broken things, the amount of vases you have replacedā¦ Many an Altaria time out has been given on both ends. At this point the pair of you are convinced they are scheming against you both. They may seem all cute, cloudy and innocent but deep down, they are plotting world domination and it's starting with the vases! Hide the vasesā¦
Night time is the only time your Altariaās aren't either fighting for your attention or playing a game of peek-a-boo with you around the house. Your Altarias curled up in a little cloud ball, keeping your feet nice and toasty. And then become your morning alarm clock the moment it's breakfast time. And no you are not sleeping in. You both kept them out of their balls that night and now these are the consequences.

Mmm, coming to Rant about SV Tera Raids cause fuck them.
There are no... Real spoikers but on the offchance this will be tagged as Spoils just in case.
Tera Raids
I fucking hate them.
They took Gigantimax and Gigamax raids and screwed it over HARD.
Not only do they give a stupid penalty- its broken as FUCK
In G-Raids, if pokemon fainted 3 times, you are out of the den. Very fair and all imo cause it was balanced.
Tera raids? For everyone pokemon fainted its A MINUTE PENALTY instead of speeding up the timer or giving you a similar kick? It outrights deducts A FULL FUCKING MINUTE out of a roughly 5 minute battle.
Not only that but becayse of hoe slow the game it as times. The entire team of 4? Coukd be wiped out entirely.
NOT TO MENTION THE SHIELDS.
I get it to be a fair bit stronger but FUCK YOU it should NOT regenerate fucking a QUARTER OF THEIR FUCKING HEALTH
And whats also worse????
When it Negates Negative Effects? It can also brush aside any effects your team has built up in the SAME FUCKING TURN
Its BULLSHIT, its MALARKEY.L
The raids- especially level 4 and up- are extremely fucking broken and unfair for anybody to do! Its fucking stupid!!
I had to rant cause omg you can only win 1 out of the 7-10 raids you do because of a the above not to mention Lag and connection issues >:(
Last week Alistar and I tried defeating/catching Hisuian Decidueye in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Tera Raids, but it was super difficult! It felt like an hour or two went by super fast without making much progress! ...Eventually we did both end up getting one, but it was very difficult. OvO; So here we are in a little moment of defeat!
