Well, this was (finally) the room she had been assigned. After a day of gaining her bearings and wandering around, she actually found the apartment she was looking for. It looked small from the outside, but Stephanie wasn’t quite sure what she was comparing it to. Her house in Kalos had been larger than most (an understatement), while the free rooms at the Pokemon Centers she frequented were often smaller than most (an overestimate).

Still, though, it was her own place, more than she’s had for the past two years, and she wasn’t going to look a gift Rapidash in the mouth.

“Hello?” She unlocked the door with a slight click, and hesitantly opened the door. “Um…” She glanced at the name next to hers on the nameplate next to the door. “Xaiver?” She shuffled her shoes off - next to two other pairs, one that looked like men’s shoes and another that looked like a cleaner pair of her own (?) - and stepped inside, looking around and finally spotting who she assumed to be her new roommate, lounging on the couch.

“You’re Xaiver, right? Hello, I’m Stephanie, your new roommate, and I really don’t hope you mind sharing living spaces with a girl, but i promise not to get in your way, and…” She was just going to keep on talking if nobody stopped her.

Shit maybe he should have moved. Ace sort of stared at her for a long moment before he was finally able to speak, pointing at Xaiver who was looking quite amused from his seat in the kitchen “T-that’s... Xaiver, I’m Ace... Sorry” flopping down onto the couch he was intent on hiding behind the furniture (despite the fact his feet stuck off the end) and going back to his TV show.

He didn’t want anything to do with this stranger until he was able to tell if she was going to be nice to him or not.

“Sorry for the mix up, I’m Xaiver Himmelreich, Ace and Annette, whom is in that room over there” he pointed towards said person, sticking her head out to offer a bubbly smile and a wave before disappearing “Also live here, although unofficially”.

As for shoes there’s a pair of shoes and a pair of winter boots, it gets snowy you know.

“Don’t worry about it, Ace and I know all the rules of respecting a woman’s personal space” haha “This is your home too so don’t feel you’ll be in the way, if we have any conflicts we should be able to work them out, right?” Xaiver gave her a charming smile, closed eyed and with a slight tilt of his head.

“We DO have a secret though, think you can handle it?” Xaiver was giving her a mildly annoyed look, getting up and going over to squish her cheeks in a playful manner “Come on, you’re going to scare her, talking like that.”

Shaking his head he looked over with a soft sigh “Sorry, Ms Stephanie, Annette is a bit of a prankster, to clarify, I’m a trainer from the Sinnoh region, these two are my Pokemon, Annette likes to make a big deal about it”

@smallhopesurvivor

Huh... He could have sworn when he went to bed there was a lot less stuff in the apartment. Not that it was much of an increase in reality, just another pair of shoes by the door and the empty bedroom was now made up and decorated for someone.

Annette already claimed a room, so he doubted this was her handy work “Annette, Ace, we’re getting a new roommate, try not to cause trouble the first day” there was a quite “Yeah...” from Ace who was currently on the couch watching TV, Annette on the other hand could be heard groaning from her room “But-!” “No buts, if you start anything with the newbie I’m going to put you in your pokeball and you’re not coming out” there was a small whine before she agreed, Xaiver taking a seat in the kitchen to await their new housemate.

“I hope they’re a girl, to much testosterone in this apartment” aka he’s hoping for someone new to play with

[twofaced-magician]

WHY is he in a dumpster.

Also where’s Ace “Annette, did you see Ace anywhere in here?” nope he wasn’t going to get an answer out of her, she’s to busy crying about all the garbage

“Maaaster, help!”

“No way, just fade through it”

“I can’t!”

Great, just great, they were both stuck in here, he was down one Pokemon and had to deal with Annette’s whining.

“ACE WHERE ARE YOU, IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE SOON I’M GOING TO HAVE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON.”

Thankfully Ace is still at home and blissfully unaware of his trainers threats.

“Aww, you’re so cute” Kano, run. “As flattered as I am I already have a boy friend” fattered is not the word, she’s about to tear you a new one if you don’t get moving. Her face is sweet and smiling but you can see the murder in her eyes.

How did Minato let this happen. He glared at the mass of laundry that threatened to grow its own ego if he didn’t take it to the mat now and wash it yesterday.

Grumbling to himself, he gathered the pile of dirty clothes and shoved them into his laundry basket before setting out to the facilities in the complex.  Upon arrival, he set the basket down in front of one of the machines, piling his clothes inside and feeding it quarters. Thanks to his curtain of hair, Minato wasn’t aware of the other’s presence right away. It wasn’t until the washer started and he actually looked up did he see the boy atop one of the appliances across the room with the sewing kit. Minato thought nothing of it at first but he quickly noticed the bruises and how he appeared to be stitching himself. Oh no…

Minato didn’t know what to say, if there even were appropriate words of comfort for someone who had clearly seen some kind of hell. His expression said it all, that much Minato knew just from observing. At the very least, Minato could offer his companionship to the poor boy. Slowly and casually approaching, Minato waved to catch his attention with a simply ‘hey.’ It wouldn’t be right for him to comment on his appearance or what he was doing with the sewing kit–Minato would leave that up to him whether or not he wanted to discuss it. For now, Minato settled with a bit of a friendly smile in an attempt to strike up a conversation, assuming that what this kid needed more than anything was a distraction. 

“Haven’t seen you around,” he said quietly, almost lighthearted in tone. “I’m Arisato Minato. I live in the one of the castles but, you know, laundry.” He shrugged. The castle-house provided a washer and dryer but damn it all if Minato hadn’t been cooped up for far too long. 

Oh... Someone had come into the room. However Ace just ignored them, one of two things would happen, either he’d scare off the poor guy or he’d just end up not seeing him anyway. Quietly, and without even flinching he started to stitch up his cheek, using his finger as a guide as he ran along the cut. It was actually pretty amazing to watch, as soon as he had the needle through the thread would disappear, smooth skin left in it’s place- Ace paused however, seeing the stranger come closer.

How... Weird. In fact he was the one a little weirded out here, confused on how casual he was being- also I wouldn’t exactly call Ace a kid, he’s 6′4 in a business suit and over 300 years old.

“Uh... Y-yeah I’m.. Usually out of sight, I don’t really like crowds...” Ace mumbled, going back to what he was doing before- pulling and snapping the thread as he finished with the cut on his cheek. “my trainer and I in general washed up pretty recently... So...” Ace’s words were halfhearted, just talking for the sake of talking at this point.

Glancing between Minato and the washing machine he had been using Ace started to take his tops off, another cut on his chest spewing smoke from his body “S-sorry I really... Need to fix these up” another mumble, avoiding Minato’s gaze as he started stitching himself up again “Uh... Why are you coming here anyway...? Don’t the houses have uh... their own laundry room?”

[twofaced-magician]

He... Didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to go back to their apartment yet, especially not after... That. He could still feel pain as the bruises on his body seemed to pulse, thin waves of smoke escaping from the cut high on his cheek.

Ace knew he hadn’t even done much... Just mentioned something about spotting someone he thought he was cute and Annette had been on him like a bat out of hell. Obviously, something else must have been happened, she usually wasn’t that short of a fuse, but still.

Maybe what made it worse of all though was Xaiver’s laughter, he hadn’t done anything to stop her and instead just mocked him for saying what was clearly the wrong thing.

...

Swallowing down his nerves Ace sat on top of one of the washers, looking at his hands with a blank expression. He didn’t know what to do anymore, he had been feeling... Happy? But all at once that feeling was gone, his reality had come back to smack him around. Literally.

“.... I should stitch these up” silently he’d sit there, looking for his sewing kit to put himself back together.

Honestly, Pete really did want to get to know Ace. He was just pretty damn nervous about it, and it didn’t help that he’d been teased about it by Chandler. Of course, Chandler was well-meaning, but he’d just managed to make Pete both anxious and embarrassed.

“Uh…”

That sound alone was, for an extended moment, the only one that left his lips. Fucking majestic. In one fell swoop, he’d made an ass of himself again. One day, when cloning was perfected, he’d make a clone of himself to kick his own ass, but until that day, he would just look very, very irritated.

“Yeah, that sounds good.” Came his brief, blunt response. There, he’d spoken actual words. We all knew you could do it, Pete. “What kind of movie do you like?” He’s on a roll now.

Yeah the... Feeling really was shared. Thankfully for both of them Melaby is NOTHING like Annette so hey, there’s that?

Also, curious question, what did you get teased about.

Ace stood there silently, playing with his mask and waiting for Pete’s answer, the silence wasn’t to uncomfortable though... Maybe a little awkward but he was used to this sort of thing and really enjoyed just being in someone’s presence compared to getting chatty.

“Oh uh-” geez he really wasn’t used to being asked for his opinion anymore. He actually had to think about it, staring at his feet for a long moment “.... Romantic comedies...?” Ace choked the words out, mildly worried about being judged but mostly a bit nervous about how blunt Pete was being. “I uh... Usually just watch whatever Xaiver or Annette wants which is usually action movies and chick flix, although the latter is also good...?” okay, good job Ace you’ve gotten out like three sentences, you can do this. “How about you? I’m sure we can find something we can both enjoy;;;”

Right okay, they should stop standing there like awkward tweens and actually get moving towards the movies.

“Um... Actually what kind of... Things do you like to do? Like- Hobbies... Things like that” that’s a good question, right? Right?

Convince me

Send “convince me” and my muse will try to convince yours to….20. Go to the store for them

“Hey, think you could run by the store for me and pick up a few things? I’ll pay you back for it and you can stay for dinner if you do.”

Between things he needed to do for his Pokemon and things he needed to do for the house, he just didn’t have the time to go out at the moment. If Xaiver would do that, it’d save him some trouble.

[twofaced-magician]

Xaiver raised an eyebrow, pausing in his shuffling. 

He had been taking a break from showing off some of his magic tricks to the kids. Seems he had been near by when Chandler invited him over and Xaiver was happy to get out of the cold fora bit

On one hand though he felt a little miffed that he was being asked to do a favor out of the blue like this, but on the other hand he WAS being invited for dinner too, and hey... Xaiver was never one to turn down free food.

“Yeah, sure, what do you need?” there he goes, already getting up to put on his shoes “I can get Ace to carry it if it’s to heavy” aka he’ll be carrying it anyway.

[twofaced-magician]

Okay, this wouldn’t be so awkward if Xaiver hadn’t insisted on calling it a playdate. Sure Pete was a little rough around the edges, but then again they both seemed to have a habit of looking scary but actually being a big baby.

Which was really probably the reason their trainers had insisted on them hanging out but Ace is very lacking in social skills.

“So uh...” yup, that’s all he has, just a couple of quite words and an awkward little squeak “...... What do you want to do?”

“....”

Yeaaah, sorry he has nothing. He really does want to get to know Pete, he’s just not sure how to go about it anymore. “Xaiver uh... Gave me a bit of money we could.... uh... See a movie I guess? Or... Something... Your pick”

“Nicer up there?” She blinked at the stranger before putting on a small frown. Given the bruises on his face, it was no wonder he thought it was nicer in that tree. Probably, who ever had given him those marks wasn’t going to bother him while he was up there. But who had done it…? It wasn’t someone from one of the island gangs, was it…?

Of course, the second she starts along this train of thought, this weirdo starts going on about…. phasing through trees and genetic mutations and… something about a Banette? She wasn’t really altogether sure what that was supposed to mean. This guy was a real character, if she had to give him one thing.

“I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about, but it’s a pleasure to meet you, Ace. My name’s Charlie.” She’d offer to shake his hand, but… Well, that wasn’t happening right now. The guy was adamant about staying in that tree, for some reason.

Ace looked around as if he was worried someone might show up, and she glanced around too, hoping to get a glance of this mystery person. Maybe the one who left those bruises on him was going to return? In that case, she wasn’t about to leave. If they showed their face again, she wanted to be here to tell them off for hurting a guy so badly he’d rather stay in a tree than come down.

“If you’ve got no intentions of coming down, do you mind if I join you?”

Oh right, he almost forgot, most people on this island had no idea what Pokemon were and now he felt embarrassed, he was probably mumbling about nothing to her.

“Ah... S-sorry. I can explain a little better if you want but uh...” clearing his throat he soon gave a hidden smile “Nice to meet you Charlie” watching her carefully she had a slight determined look on her face and he was worried she’d start a fight with Annette if she showed up.

“Uh...” what a ... Weird question, then again all of this was pretty weird, most people didn’t stop to talk to him, they’d just avert their eyes and walk away. “Y-yeah sure, uh, here” he turned translucent, passing through a few of the branches until he was hanging down by his legs offering his hands to him “Here, want some help up? I mean- This tree is even to tall for me to climb normally so...” he was trying so hard not to offend her, even giving a wince at his own words. “Although I uh.. Understand if you don’t trust me I look pretty fishy...”

[twofaced-magician]

You see plenty of strange things on this island. Charlie was fairly used to it. Even something like this, seeing someone seemingly caught in a tree, was pretty normal in comparison to the things she usually saw. Still, she came to a stop under the tree, even as the other told her to keep on going.

“Are you sure? You know, there must be a million places on the island that are more comfortable than that.” Like, for instance, just about anywhere. The detective crossed her arms, looking up at him. He clearly hadn’t climbed up there himself, and those bruises were a telltale sign of foul play. Poor guy. Sure, he was pretty tall and dressed like some sort of criminal, but he just kind of came across as a giant kid. “So? Do you want help getting down from there?”

“I um...” Ace mumbled under his breath, wiggling a little to try and make himself LOOK more comfortable because he really did like it up here, nice view, the breeze was nice, a cute girl was talking to him and he’s currently trying to ignore that fact.

After all no one sane would be interested in him anyway

“No I uh... I’m fine up here, really. It’s comfier than it looks but uh.. Thank you, Miss” rubbing the back of his head he glanced around, trying to see if Annette was still hanging around or not. “It’s kinda... Nicer up here anyway so uh...”

God this really must look bad though, tugging up his mask he tried to hide the bruise on his face, thankful she couldn’t see the others littered around his body “Hah... I uh, can just phase through the tree whenever I want anyway so - That sounds weird doesn’t it...”

She was so cute... What did he do to deserve such an angel- did he die? Well, again. “Um...” she still wasn’t leaving, after a pause he decided maybe a bit of conversation would be nice “I’m Ace... A Banette with a genetic mutation” Hooo boy if he didn’t sound crazy before, he did now, but he wasn’t about to lie to her.

[twofaced-magician]

“Oh honey I love you, but you’re an absolute disgrace” Annette was in a mood today, and Ace was getting the blunt end of it. He let out a little grumble, just laying limply in the tree

He knew if he moved to much she’d attack again, but going completely still wasn’t good either. Giving a little wiggle he tried to position his limbs a little better, intent on getting comfortable right there in that tree where she had blown him into 

“Y-yeah...” Ace agreed in defeat avoiding eye contact. Annette stood there for a long moment before letting out an annoyed sound and leaving him to hang there, floating away to go find Xaiver, she seemed to be satisfied with the damage he had already taken and once he was sure she was gone he moved an arm to rub at his bruised cheek

She sure packed a punch

“I think... I’ll just stay here” sure he looked tangled, but he could just phase out at any time and get out of this mess, this mess however was much more comfortable than what awaited him back home. Maybe though, he wouldn’t have to spend the time alone, giving a sheepish smile from behind his mask “I uh.... Sorry, just keep walking...”

They probably thought he was a weirdo anyway.

Nidoking: I want to battle you

Huh? Well, earlier he was pretty sure the only other “trainer” on this island was Chandler, so this was a bit of a surprise. Glancing down at his pokeballs he looked back to the stranger, who was currently holding out one of his own out in a challenging manner.

He wanted a fight, huh?

“I only have two Pokemon, so you’ll have to use two as well, okay? That’s my condition” he could feel Annette vibrate, she was excited to get to battle someone. Grabbing her pokeball he threw it up in the air slightly, catching it before repeating “Well? Pick your two and lets start”
