Her eyes are shut tight and she slows her breathing in order to better hear the rhythmic beat of her best friends heart. She exhales softly, breathing in while Cait makes her request. She pulls away gently to sit on her own and to better watch the woman.

"Sure, Cait. Whatever you need, I'll be there."

She squints just slightly at the sight of Cait's grimace, concern reflecting in her eyes.

"Whatever you need, Cait. I promise."

There is a wishy-washy sort of feeling as she shrinks rapidly. It makes her sick, makes her dizzy, and she stumbles forward and into Luka's arms. With a gasp, she sort of giggles, overwhelmed by the events taking place. She leans into the woman, placing a hand on her shoulder to steady herself and then blinks, watching her for a moment.

"Well!"

But there is more to be said, because towering above them are two Pokemon that are now fully capable of squashing them by accident. In fact, it seems the Togepi has taken a liking to them both, and begins to stumble forward to give them a hug or something. Luka insists she not, but pulls her back with her in an attempt to avoid.

All of a sudden, a warm hand is placed in hers and she is pulled along in a sprint. They make it to a tiny door behind a curtain, but upon trying the knob they quickly realize that it's locked. Dread sets in for a moment before Luka is the bearer of common sense.

"Uhh.. nope, I didn't even think about it. It was so tiny I thought it was fake!"

She glances up at her Eldritch horror-sized Glastrier, and she cups her hands to try to carry her voice.

"Glastrier! Can you! Knock down! The key! On! The table!"

Fortunately, the equine's ears twitch and he snuffles at the table. There is a quiet tink as the key hits the floor, but neither of them are anywhere near close enough to reach it from here. They'd have to brave the cuddly Togepi and pray that Glastrier doesn't take any steps.

"Okay. You stay right here while I make a break for the key."

"Hmm," she hums, not sure what more to say. The thought of getting ones portrait painted seemed frivolous and bizarre. Photographs sufficed, really, and hanging ones likeness up in their house just seemed.. odd.

But she agrees because he seems invested in giving it a go. To some degree, there is something flattering about the whole thing. The fact that he wanted to and had offered was sort of sweet.

Awkwardness once again settles over her, leaving her tense. She searches for a cozy place to sit and seems at a loss. She looks to Xander, shrugs meekly. "Any suggestions?"

Stormy sighs, forcing herself to relax her shoulders and rid herself of some of the stress and tension that's keeping her uptight and agitated. It isn't his fault and it isn't fair of her to be upset with him or anything he has to offer. The woman exhales slowly through her mouth, sucking in a long, quiet breath before answering.

"No--" she seems to snap at first, but then she looks at him and she seems exhausted. "No, I'm sorry. I don't.. I don't know what questions they'll even answer. They're Pokemon, not people, they can't talk to me. There's nothing they can do to help whatever it is that I need help with."

But she follows after him anyway, releasing just a little bit of control. Along the way, a Scrafty comes out to play that seems to be chipping away at a spot in the wall. She chooses to send her Arcanine after him to spar. Heavy paws outweigh the blows the little fighting type can muster, and Stormy retrieves the fainted Pokemon from beneath her own's fluffy paw.

She pretends she doesn't see his frown. Even if it makes her feel a pang of guilt to see it. Her gaze drops at his offer and she swallows, looks away.

"Uhh.. no, that's alright. I'm sure I'll see Mattias over the holidays or something."

Unlikely, but she didn't know what else to say. Fortunately, a Pokemon comes into view to distract her from the tense conversation surrounding family and the holidays. She releases an Arcanine to take down the gellatenous Reuniclus. Jelly flies in all directions and the canine comes back damp and a bit green, but otherwise thrilled to be in the field.

A loose pokeball is thrown and Stormy busies herself with that for a moment.

"Sure, but it means more coming from you. Besides, I like to see you in action."

She squeezes his hand and continues eating her treat, evidently unbothered by his earlier refusal. Perhaps she's begun to read between the lines and pick up on the subtle meaning behind his bluntness.

In between bites and idle wandering, Stormy peruses their minigame options. In particular, as shown by the way she mumbles through the food in her mouth and pulls him to stop next to her, she's taken a liking to the Seviper ring toss. It seems the hardest, and the woman likes a challenge.

"Let's do the ring toss. Do you think you can beat me?"

"You're telling me."

She flicks the remainder off of herself, visibly disgusted. The Poliwhirl that Matias spots takes off running, but Stormy has decided that she wants it. She sends a Galvantula after the water-type. The giant spider lunges and traps the Poliwhirl with electrified webbing. It falls to the ground, twitching with paralysis. Stormy throws an empty pokeball to catch it.

"Maybe that's my cue to head home. Shower, change into some comfy clothes. What do you say? Interested in binging some TV show over a bowl of popcorn?"

Stormy blushes, indignant and embarrassed.

"Wha-- no, I don't. It isn't silly."

She swallows, perhaps just the slightest bit hurt by his suggestion. She doesn't meet his eyes, though she does listen to his theory on what Groudon might dream about. Though she doesn't have the self-confidence to sway her pride and give him her attention, his suggestion does spark some sort of thoughtful expression.

Stormy only glances at him, wide-eyed in the moment, at his outburst. Her eyes look past him to the Shedinja in question that had sparked so much joy, and beyond that, she sees a Baltoy. While he readies himself with the hollow shell of a bug that never ceased to give her the heebie jeebies (thanks ), she points for her Houndoom to take care of the second Pokemon.

The woman had one or two of the many-eyed Pokemon whose name eludes her at home, but one more couldn't possibly hurt. They seemed pretty useful, given the explosive capabilities they possessed.

Some barking and snarling and yelping and fighting eventually bring down the hardy Baltoy. Houndoom returns, a bit worse for wear given the type disadvantage, and drops to a heap at her feet for a power nap.

"I'm right where I'm supposed to be."

Again she glances away from him, somewhat intimidated by his attention and his questions. "You?"

Electricity sparks, fizzles, neutralizes against Seismitoad's slimy skin. But neither of them are injured, and both have a second chance to breathe. They fight back, MUD SHOTTING the shell of the Tapu. Whether it does anything is difficult to tell, however, given how tightly it has cocooned itself in the process. She continues, doing her best to keep up and to stay out of harms way.

But at some point, the fighting comes to a halt as a result of someone's head rolling across the floor. At first, she appears horrified, muted, and she jerks her attention to the side in time to realize that the real Kazimir is unhurt-mostly. He had been electrocuted at some point, surely, but his head was still attached to his shoulders.

The sea people, the doppelgangers, they scream murderer and point fingers at Kim and Hoopa. And then the floor falls all over again and she is plummeting. Her first instinct is to grab hold of her Pokemon, though he really grabs hold of her, instead. They tumble and fall, breathless and unsure at first which way is up. But free-falling isn't exactly ideal, nor is swimming, or falling to her death.

So Stormy does her best to swap out Seismitoad for one of her Charizard, pressing into the flying-type's back to pivot and correct their fall. Hopefully their consistent practice flying through obstacle courses to keep their skills sharp paid off. Because it isn't just flying they have to focus on, but dodging the ORIGIN PULSES coming at them at the same time.

"Protect us, Sekhmet!"

A protective barrier shimmers around them in preparation for the worst.

notes:
- doesn't get electrocuted, yay!!
- oh my god is that a dead body?
- they're all falling
- don't touch the lava, i mean water!
- swaps seismitoad for charizard
- charizard uses PROTECT while carrying stormy to safety

Stormy's face moves between expressions rapidly. There is shock, disbelief, realization. She wasn't sure what to say. It was like she was finally seeing what had been in front of her the entire time. His flirting had been brushed aside or misunderstood as joking. Her reminders for him to be mindful of her relationship with Alex had felt playful and not to be taken seriously.

How oblivious she was.

"I'm sorry."

But all of this brings back an overwhelming wave of grief and guilt. It makes her nauseous, it makes her scared. Sitting across from him scares her in some way that prompts her to lean back and sit back from the table. It squeaks, the chair feet dragging against the floor.

"I'm not-- I'm not ready, Cian. He broke my heart, and now he's gone, and I-- I can't do it again."

Stormy squints, unconvinced but thoroughly amused.

She does a brief double-take as they come to a halt in front of one of many assorted stalls. The smell is frankly overpowering, but lucky for her, Angelo's company is more compelling.

"Sure, I trust you."

She rolls her eyes but smirks. But the longer she stays, the less nauseating the smell becomes. In fact, her lips purse in a rather fond sort of.. understanding and appreciation.

But her eyes dart away, straying from meeting Angelo's searching gaze. He is magnetic but she is driven away by shame. She swallows when he pries, she flinches, avoids, and that bitter taste returns.

"I mean just what I said, Angelo. When Moltres disappeared, the flame it had shared with me, the power, the connection we had-- it feels like I've been snuffed. I'm not the same."

His gaze is magnetic, drawing her back in even in spite of her stubborn awkwardness. She blinks, floored and confused by what it is he's saying. It's tragic, really, that there isn't any food on the table for her to dive into and completely embarrass herself with. She could chew furiously, and through mouthfuls of food question dumbly and ask him to repeat that and then go on and on and on about how delicious the food is.

"I don't.. know what to say."

He wanted to see her again? She could play stupid, decide that she didn't know what that meant. But she did. She just..

"I didn't think that you felt that way."

Honestly, watching Kazimir shakily get to his feet and put his weight and his trust in the open arms of this clearly-not-the-real-Doug really made her nervous. One could easily parse that from her pinched expression. But she is in no way able to step in and intercept, and with everyone and their neighbour and their mismatched legends being on edge.. it didn't feel like a good idea.

"The great Hoennian sea?"

She whispers, parroting Sea-Katherine's declaration. Her brows furrow, the entire room feels like it's spinning, and all of a sudden everyone is here -- including the watery decoys. What was going on?

There was no time to react, really, or to think about it. Before she knows it, she's swapping pokeballs and acting on instinct. She's following the cold shoulder of and doing what he's asked of her. He doesn't need to speak for her to understand. Illeana has held against the oncoming DISCHARGE by redirecting at least part of it, hopefully. In place of her Aegislash, Stormy has braced herself against the slimy behind of one of her Seismitoad.

Hopefully, it should act as a grounding method, and with her touching it, neither of them should be affected. Probably. Regardless, a little spicy electricity never hurt anybody, and she challenges the Tapu Koko with a point of her finger and a confident battle cry:

"You're goin' down!"

And, with a great inhale, Seismitoad spits up a MUD SHOT to fling at and drag the Koko down.

notes:
- reacting instinctively, quick on her feet as she's been trained
- replaces aegislash with seismitoad to use its GROUND-TYPING to protect itself and her
- orders seismitoad to use MUD SHOT against the tapu koko
