[attr="class","gabrielpost"]publicists are just so up themselves. he'd had to fly out to bumfuck nowhere oldpeoplesville because this particular publicist couldn't fly. well, nancy, ever heard of a taurus? or a train? or a car?

and, by the powers that be, his flight had been delayed. well, elias, you may start to ask, don't you have a giant dragon you can fly on? yes! he does! he very much does. but considering the fact that the bat hasn't spoken to him since their debacle of a mission a couple of days ago, he hasn't been able to hitch a ride since.

this is not the first time this has happened. elias (and his agent) have gotten used to the noivern's finicky nature. but the fans adore him.

and elias, though he'd never admit it, loves the creature with all his heart.

now normally he'd sit himself up in his five star hotel and enjoy the warmth while sipping on a winter martini, but he'd accidentally made the mistake of looking outside his window (of which was situated in the building that shared the lavaridge hot springs) and had caught sight of an image that is going to surely give him nightmares for years to come.

so. many. wrinkles.

so he's here now, in fashionable boots that cost far too much to be sloshing about in the ashy dirt, and a coat that's far too sheer to actually be useful. and he's absafuckinglutely miserable. but pride stops him from turning back.

he touches the pokeball kept on a keychain on his phone, but then sniffs and pockets both. he squares his shoulders and continues his nature walk.

Elias Thorn

Lavaridge town had to be one of her favourite landmarks in Hoenn. The heat, the falling ashes, the rugged terrain, it felt like she belonged here. It didn't look at all like Kanto, but just being here made her feel a little more at ease.

And boy, was she at ease. At the present moment, Stormy Silph was leaning back in the hot springs, naked as a bird. She was sunk low in the hot steamy water, throwing her head back and really enjoying the moment. She had bruises and cuts from an earlier encounter earlier on in her story, details that hadn't been fully filled out, but could probably pertain to an encounter with a peach tree and ghosts.

After a couple hours of much needed rest and relaxation, Stormy found herself adventuring route 112. She had Torkoal out of her pokeball. The small tortoise was slowing her down, but Stormy wasn't really hard pressed to get anywhere quickly. She was taking her time and enjoying the climate. Every few steps, Torkoal would sink down into the ashy ground and croon in affection.

Stormy, thrilled that her Pokemon was having such a great time, was beaming from ear to ear. Then she caught sight of a familiar young man further up the route, kicking his feet tragically through the ash. He didn't particularly look like he was enjoying the area.

As she approached, she realised that it was Elias Orion, the young man she had met while babysitting the peach tree.

"Hey, long time no see."

[attr="class","gabrielpost"]and despite himself, he actually comes to enjoy it. the crisp smell of winter tickles his nose and the falling ash almost looks like snow. (it would take him a bit of time to notice that his white scarf would be ruined after this whole excursion, but that's a problem he's going to have to deal with later.)

he hears a familiar voice behind him and turns, smile dazzling his features as he catches sight of stormy, a woman he'd had the pleasure of working with several days ago. while the night had turned sour rather quickly, he'd come to respect and admire the fellow league member.

"it's a pleasure to see you again," he says earnestly and adds, "and on much more pleasant circumstances."

he pauses suddenly when he hears the muffled cries of something to their left, well into the trees that fringe the road. he raises a brow at stormy. "i'm starting to think one of us has a bit of bad karma after them, hm?"

and then he holds out the crook of his arm and says, "shall we investigate?"

Stormy smiles. It's been a week or so since she last saw Elias. Their brief encounter working together and rescuing a pair of baby ghost Pokemon had been.. interesting to say the least.[break][break]

Her eyes widened in surprise at his suggestion, however. [break][break]

"Are you implying I'm a bringer of bad luck? I'm sure that that burden is on you, not me."[break][break]

She laughs though, indicating that what she's saying is in jest.[break][break]

His arm opens up for her to slide her own through in a loop. She gladly accepts this display of affection. Although her attention now turns abruptly to the left as two Pokemon come barreling out of the ashes. [break][break]

A Makuhita and Heatmor both appear to be coming right for them. The fire-type's FIRE LASH startles Stormy as the creature's tongue slaps the ground in front of her feet. [break][break]

The woman releases Torkoal, who promptly enters the scene using IRON DEFENSE and PROTECT. The Heatmor seems to be immediately deterred, and Stormy promptly fumbles for a free pokeball.[break][break]

"Help me catch her, Torkoal."[break][break]

Her heavy companion grunted in acknowledgment before tucking in all of her limbs for a RAPID SPIN. The Heatmor attempts to pivot to escape but is too slow, or rather, the Makuhita trips up the fire-type and Torkoal catches up quickly.[break][break]

Stormy throws a pokeball to attempt the capture of the firey anteater.[break][break]

[attr="class","gabrielpost"]he jumps when both pokemon come crashing into their field of vision. his gentle hold on stormy's arm becomes a vicelike grip and probably hinders her movements as she goes to reach for her pokeball. regardless, her torkoal pops up at the ready and serves as a welcome barrier between the angry pokemon and the model's beautiful face.

his phone, still clasped in his hand, has his own pokeball within easy reach on it. and he has that internal struggle with himself again to send the bat out. it's been long enough, hasn't it? surely he won't do the same thing he did in front of her last time.

but he very much would, and he very much could, and elias doesn't know if he could take another scolding from his superior officer.

so instead he watches helplessly as she throws a ball to capture the heatmor. the makuhita, startled that its opponent had been so quickly defeated by the more powerful trainer's pokemon, takes off running in the other direction. dust clouds kick up behind it.

when the ball stills, elias relaxes his grip and before he can think better about how it makes him look, he says, "how do you get your torkoal to listen like that?"

When the satisfying click of a successful capture sounds, she made a little sigh of satisfaction. [break][break]

The woman then tucks the new addition into her backpack for safekeeping before turning back to speak with Elias.[break][break]

"She trusts me, and I shower her with compliments and treats and my undivided attention. Sounds like you and your pretty lady need a lesson in couple's therapy."[break][break]

She laughs, thinking she's funny. Torkoal seems to chuff along as well as they continue on their way. The Makuhita did not seem at all thrilled to stick around, and it promptly ran away.[break][break]

However, that fighting type was soon to be replaced by another, bigger one. He was incredibly muscle-y and purposefully posing not too far away. It seemed to be trying to impress someone, but by the looks of it he was looking at his own reflection in a shallow pool of water. Yes, there was suddenly a pool of water in this tepid heat.[break][break]

"Hey, check it out!"[break][break]

She pointed at him, but the massive Pokemon didn't seem to notice. Stormy herself didn't notice the Salandit as it came up close to them. It's tiny black body slithered past and away, undiscovered. Perhaps it was for the best.[break][break]

[attr="class","gabrielpost"]compliments and treats! undivided attention! where in gods name would he find the time for that? and besides, ambrosia's ego is already as big as the moon--there's no need for eli to go feeding him more to fuel his inane fantasies.

no, the model chuffs, promptly refusing stormy's way of bonding. though, when she turns her back, it doesn't stop him from wistfully staring at ambrosia's pokeball. what would it take to make the pokemon come out? a life or death situation? if the model jumped off a cliff, would the noivern rescue him?

his own conclusions put him in a bad mood.

he nearly trips over a giant lizard as he goes to follow where stormy's pointing. withholding a shriek (considering he refuses to embarrass himself further), he steps neatly beside her and watches the machoke flatter himself by the pool.

"reminds me of a man at my gym," he says dreamily, then blinks and looks sideways, "workout gym. not, like, a pokemon gym. and also no, i don't work out there. i just...appreciate."

he readjusts his sunhat and brushes a couple of pieces of bark from his shoulder, lips twisted in a grimace. "is this really what you trainers do all day? go hunt for pokemon like...like this? you enjoy this?"

In response to his nonchalant, dismissive chuff, Stormy merely shrugs before turning away. This effectively cuts her off from witnessing his wistful glance at his partner Pokemon's pokeball.[break][break]

"If you truly care about someone, you'll make time for them."[break][break]

She says this absently, perhaps trying to guilt trip him subtly, or make him really consider her advice. [break][break]

In the meantime, the Salandit from earlier has quietly snuck away to hide or sunbathe. Stormy stops briefly, glancing at Elias curiously as he stops to admire the Machoke. His comment encourages a giggle out of her, and she shakes her head.[break][break]

"You appreciate, huh? You might feel a little tougher if you actually worked out, instead of watching other people do it. Just a thought."[break][break]

Elias' expression quickly turns sour though as he complains about Pokemon hunting. Embarrassed now, thinking that she's been boring him, Stormy comes to an abrupt halt. [break][break]

"I didn't realize you were bored, Elias! We can head back soon if you're not happy. I just assumed you were also out here Pokemon hunting, or at least enjoying the fresh air. Though.. I can see now that that was a silly thought."[break][break]

Stormy turns to head back now, but is distracted by a rhythmic thump thump of heavy feet. She cranes her neck back to see where the noise is coming from, only to see a herd of slow-moving and heavy-footed Turtonator strolling past. They seem to have a one-track mind, heading in a specific direction with no regard for who or what might be in their way.[break][break]

Unfortunately, that meant they didn't see the Vulpix that was running circles in the dirt. For whatever reason it seemed to be lost, unable to determine for itself where the noise was coming from. It also... apparently couldn't see where it was walking?[break][break]

Unhooking a different pokeball, Stormy would release her Skarmory. The bird would dig its talons into the ground, shifting its weight uneasily. It wasn't thrilled to be called out at the moment, worried that it'd be facing off against a bunch of big, strong fire and dragon-types. [break][break]

"Quick, rescue that Vulpix! It must be injured, it doesn't look like it can see!"[break][break]

Skarmory warbled in response, gathering air beneath its wings as it hopped up into the air. It circled low for a moment, locating the tiny creature. It seemed even smaller than usual, and it was emaciated and skinny. Swooping low, mere seconds before the Turtonator could trample it, Skarmory would grab ahold of the wiggly, terrified Vulpix.[break][break]

The metal bird would set it down gently in Stormy's arms, waiting off to the side to preen its feathers.[break][break]

"I also enjoy it because I find Pokemon like this - Pokemon who need help."[break][break]

Stormy's hands would gently brush away some of the matted dirt in the Vulpix's fur. [break][break]

"She needs medical attention. I think this might be our sign to head back to Lavaridge."[break][break]

[attr="class","eliaspost"]he thinks that, maybe, deep down somewhere, he's just jealous. stormy can do all of this so effortlessly. her pokemon move instantly and he's fairly certain they'd know what to do even if she didn't say anything. it puts him in a weird sort of light, standing beside such a powerful woman, feeling helpless in the face of the wild nature that romps around him.

he's not bored. he's...he's enthralled. he's transfixed. and more than anything, he's desperate. he wants to be like her--self-assured, confident, strong.

but he can't admit that to himself. he can't stand in front of the mirror and tell himself that he's unhappy, that he's not enough, because a lifetime ago he'd gone down that road, and he'd barely made it out. so he waves a flippant hand, snorts, draws out snooty aggression because the alternative is pain.

"i'm only here because i thought it'd be nice to catch up with an acquaintance, and i was going to be stuck in that drab town for several more hours."

he looks down at the vulpix and sniffs. "that's why we leave the hard work in your capable hands. i'm only here to bolster your image, darling, because lord knows you league folk need all the help you can get."

At first, Stormy's attention is one hundred percent on the limp, weakened Vulpix cradled in her arms. But she's caught off-guard by the snooty hand that flaps in her peripheral, the snooty hand that let her know that Elias didn't seem to give a shit at all what she said.[break][break]

There's a moment of hesitation, of self doubt. Surely Elias hadn't done that, right? Surely, he was just being silly. Surely, he hadn't just started the countdown of Stormy's ticking time bomb.[break][break]

The low moan that came out of Torkoal was immediately dismissed. Stormy's grip on the Vulpix grew a little bit tighter as heat rose in her cheeks. Torkoal takes a slow step forward, trying to pull Stormy's head from out of imminent danger.[break][break]

Of course, it's a bit too late for that. Elias has dropped a comment that knocked Stormy into gear.[break][break]

"Here to 'bolster my image?' And what the fuck is that supposed to mean? What do you mean, 'you league folk?' Are you trying to piss me off? Because it's sure as shit working, pal."[break][break]

Stormy has taken a step forward at this point, glaring up at the man. [break][break]

"I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's not your Pokemon that has a problem, but you. If you have your head shoved so far up your ass that you truly believe you're gods gift to us 'league folk', it's no wonder Ambrosia doesn't wanna talk to you, cause neither do I."[break][break]

Her voice is low, and she purposefully jostles his shoulder as she pushes past him. Torkoal and Skarmory follow her, glancing at Elias with some degree of discomfort. [break][break]

[attr="class","eliaspost"]he's flourished in an environment that thrives on petty remarks and backhanded comments. confrontation is one of his strong suits, with a silver tongue and skin as hard as stone, it's difficult to shake the elias orion. and he doesn't shake now. he'd gotten a rise out of her. he'd have been disappointed if he didn't.

he tells him that this is what he wants. over and over again goes the din mantra in the back of his mind while the rest throws together a snappy remark; synapses fire to his hips as he shifts his weight, his hands as they balance on his hips, the taut pull of his lazy half-smirk. it's a learned behavior, these coping mechanisms of his, but it would take a long-trusted friend to recognize the cracks in the porcelain. but long-trusted friends and people who care are hard to come by, and harder to keep around.

"well, yes, my dear. see, i'm only here because the league doesn't exactly do anything in the face of tragedy. that press relief some weeks back of some of your agents murdering some poor drunks on their feet? gods, it was so easy to tell that the whole kidnapping was a setup. i'm here to clean up after messes like that and make you look like you actually know what you're doing."

he watches her go, back to him, and he rolls his eyes. and in one final act of defiance, anything to prove the woman wrong, he calls upon ambrosia.

the noivern shows up in a brilliant burst of rainbow-colored light and looks petulantly down at his trainer. but then he sees the look on eli's face and his eyes soften, though only slightly, and he exposes his back.

elias climbs on as gracefully as possible, readjusts his hat, and shoots one more backward glance at stormy, triumph gleaming in his eyes. the noivern extends his wings and takes to the air, and he doesn't ask where they're going, and he doesn't look back at elias.
