Trick or treat, Gids!!! - Hes

Well, I won't give away what we've decided on yet. But I suppose we could go as the Medic and the Heavy from that one game I've seen Nash play.

Excuse me? [Hestia + Gilda]

The Polaris Tower was certainly something. 

Something Gilda had yet to explore in all it's vast glory.

And spending her hours away in the Champion's Room could be dreadfully boring, too. Leaving the young women in a place where she didn't know whether to applaud The Elite Four on their efforts or reprimand them for not allowing her any fun challengers. Though she had been given the chance to spend some quality time with her pokémon - and while that wasn't a negative in the slightest, she was starting to get the smallest of inkling that they were getting tired of spending that much time with her.

Gilda sighed, her gaze flickering from button to button from where she stood inside the elevator. She had, finally, decided to act on her lack-there-of knowledge of the tower and go exploring. Hovering over her shoulder, content as can be with just cooing and chittering away with herself, was her little Inkay - Teuta, whom had seemed very interested coming along with her trainer during her exploration.

"..." Gilda played with the bottom of her shirt as she looked at the buttons more thoughtfully, wondering where exactly she should start. "Eenie, meenie, miney -- hm, no." She took off her tricorn and ran a hand through her hair, humming. Maybe it would be smart to start at the bottom and -

"Iiiiiii!" Teuta suddenly raced forward and slapped one of her tentacles against a random button - obviously fed up with her trainer's indecisiveness. The young woman didn't even realize what happened until the elevator jarred and began it's steady trek downwards, and Teuta turned towards her - cooing happily. Gilda rolled her eyes and gently patted the side of her Inkay's 'hat', muttering a little 'good job'.

Ding!

She took a step back as the door to the elevator slid open, waiting to see where she had landed.

Girl Power [ Tova + Hestia ]

League parties were always a big cause for commotion in Acirema. Every leader and Elite, and even the Champion was there, along with a small throng of photographers to document the event. And Tova usually loved them. It was a chance to dress up and dance and have fun with her new friends. But tonight she wanted nothing more than to blend into the wall and disappear..... The night before she'd left for Polaris Tower, she'd had a spectacular defeat at the hands of some boy. The words upon his victory rung clearly in her ears. "Of course you lost! You're a broken leader leading broken pokemon. I bet the league just chose you out of pity. And he was right....No league had has a blind leader before...She was the first. And for good reason.  "I don't be long here." She pulled out her cane and quickly made for the door..or where she hoped the door was. By the sounds of the party dying down around her, she could tell she was moving towards the exit and farther away from the heart of the party. Almost there...just a few mor- Someone called her name...and again. Tova stopped and wiped at her eyes, before turning. "H-huh? Sorry..I was just getting some fresh air."

Oops or run!

"Oops! Run for it!"

Jethro was a man about the law, and the last thing he would have wanted to do today was not uphold it. Well… at the very least, not be on the running away end of it. The two were actually in the office of the Pokemon League founder, speaking about getting some funding to create more of a city like feel around the otherwise barren Polaris Tower. Whilst Hestia probably wanted it to attract tourist and have people watch her jump through hoops of fire or something, Jethro simply wanted to be able to buy himself shirts and tank tops without having to fly all the way across a bloody mountain range to get there!

No, but things had to get complicated. For the first time in a long time, Jethro got himself into an arguement.

"You don’t have any right to talk to her like that!" He swung his arms out wide, only to smack the man right in the face, dropping him to the floor with what would only become a bruise later.

"Oh…oh no…"

"Move it, Jethro…you dont want him to get up!" Hestia was already half way out the door by the time that Jethro managed to cup his hands. Hessitating to look back at the man slowly getting up, he quickly followed.

Walking turned into race walking, and once the alarms went off, he knew he was sprinting. Guard dogs (consisting of Arcanines and Houndooms) would surely be released to sic at them soon. 

"Why did you have to hit the guy?"

"Me?! You act as though it was my fault!"

“‘Cause it kinda is! You dont see me hitting Pokemon League Officials, Mr. Mike Tyrouge Punch Out!”

Jethro paused right there, at the entrance of the imposing building. “I…I think you’re right. Maybe I should just turn myself in.”

"No! Did I ever say you should?! You know, it’s your passive attitude that makes my blood boil! Don’t you have a fire in your belly?!" Hestia was already making her way past the fence, when both heard the familiar voice call out a command.

"Use flamethrower!"

…..

Hours later, Jethro found himself in the hospital with third degree burns, and the fire elite right beside him. Though she tried her best, stiffling that laugh was just not possible. The man simply glared at her, slightly irritated, but still in quite a lot of pain. 

"Oh come on now. At least we proved you had a fire in you…but it was in your a—"

"Shhhh!" Jethro hissed, his body face down on the recovery bed.

"Hey come on! At least you got to keep your job—"

"Shhhh!"

"But—"

"SHHHHHHH!" This was the loudest one by far, and the one that made the most point. The woman shook her head and sat up. "Unbelievable," she said on her way out. A minute later though, she would come back to the door. "Oh, hey Jethro?"

The Champion only looked at the woman and couldn’t help but chuckle.

She’d given him a thumbs up.

The Most Unlikely Roommates (Gideon + Hestia)

The Elite Four had been traveling for days, making their way across the region for a big yearly meet-and-greet event. Of course, they didn't just FLY...nooo that would be TOO convenient. They travelled by train, stopping in a few cities for short appearances along the way. Each member got their own sleeping compartment, which was pleasurable enough. Gideon spent 90% of the time locked up in his own room, dreading what was going to happen once they arrived in Naos. They'd be sharing rooms, something about the Champion wanting to have some more interaction between the Elites...as if they didn't get enough of that LIVING together in Polaris Tower...Stupid prick, didn't even have to share a room with anyone.... Finally, the train reached its destination and they all had to wave and smile and shake hands as they made their way to the cab that was taking them to the hotel....All Gideon wanted to do was sleep. Hours passed, and they finally got settled in. Gideon was relaxing in his plush double bed, already wearing his silk pajamas and enjoying a nice book after his shower. Espurr was asleep on his lap, snoring softly. He was enjoying the silence of the room...dreading when his roommate was going to be returning. "You know Espurr...Perhaps we can keep the door locked tonight. I'm sure Hestia would find it most exciting to find a way in." "ZzzzZzzzz......." "....You're right. It would probably be loud...I suppose we'll just have to deal for now..."

Accidentally sends a text talking about how head over heels they are with you, to you, even though it was meant to be send to my muse’s best friend.

“I’m telling you Armand, she’s the biggest idiot i’ve ever met in my life. Loud and boisterous and obnoxious. Not to mention the way she dresses…and she’s far to masculine for a woman of her beauty! She’s a brute! Utterly insane! Always going off and doing those dangerous…ugh, whatever it is she does….doesn’t she know what when I’m telling her not to do those things its because I don’t want her to get hurt? Sure she’s been fine up until now, but what if something goes wrong? I couldn’t stand the thought of something happening to her. This place would be so empty without her laugh…How would I be able to survive a day without seeing that stupid untamed mess of gorgeous red hair..or her crooked dazzling smile? Ugh…Hestia has got to be the most annoying woman on the planet. And I couldn’t be more in love with her……”

Gideon collapsed further into his squishy armchair and reread the text he’d just sent…..his heart stopped, his blood ran cold and his eyes widened. Wrong number……..
