The moment they’d cleared the previous obstacle, he sighed—only minutely, of course—at least they hadn’t fallen so far behind!

However, the whistling of wind gave him a slight idea of what was coming up next—and he had a pretty good guess as to what was causing the prevalent crosswind to blow through this particular stretch.

The Salamence let out a cackle—well, to him it sounded like a guffaw, because he just knew that a certain shiny Braviary was behind all this—before he bent his head into Gabriel’s neck.

“I know you got this, Gabe, don’t let any single one of them get you down!” he hissed as he ducked down as best as he could; because not even he was immune from the effects of the prevalent crosswind, despite him being… that.

( would know, at least.)

“Just go with the flow, Gabe, go with the fucking flow!”

angelo's secret base

He was familiar with Wingull, having an entire horde of Pelipper to his name (and then some) so he knew exactly how these damned avians operate.

“You’re not going to get my fingers,” he cackled as he came in for a three-point landing after taking a leap from Kyouya’s back as the shiny Braviary hovered while he poked around. Never mind if the base was in the middle of the ocean, good thing he could easily fly and get there!

“Hah, you can’t trick me,” he continued as he reached into his pocket right as Puck the Wingull came screaming at him, before he held up the little sandwich.

“Because I know you and your kind like sandwiches, take this!” he went on as the Wingull easily snatched the offering, which left him free to enter the secret base—and then let out an almighty guffaw.

Oh, he knew the owner of this one so well, too.

Seeing the pot of flags, he continued to cackle quietly as he grabbed one for himself, before sighting the marker pens and the long stretch of paper. Finding the purple one, he quickly snatched that one up and then began scrawling something in Cyrillic before belatedly realizing that Angelo couldn’t read that.

“Wait, shit.”

He had to backtrack and recall what choice few Alto Marean words he knew, and chuckled as he left a little doodle of the Skyrider Badge as his signature.

The moment he saw the—aww, cute! It reminded him way too much of ’s Zuza—well, the smaller version of her, that is.

(And hilariously, out of the myriad of his partner’s Pokémon, it was Zuza of all things he got along the most with. Wonder why that was.)

“I already have you, but she’s weirdly-colored… and besides, I’m not sure how Zuza would take to seeing another one of her kind. I’onno if she’s a hella jealous mare, so…”

He then left the pastel Ponyta to wander into the undergrowth…

He was sure the one he was looking for would turn up soon. Now the problem was, he was going to be doing another back to back to back Safari trip because… well, he’d heard things about what was coming soon!

Okay, admittedly, he already had one variant of the edible Pokémon—but didn’t his friend have a lot of these…? Or was it the Sinistea that the Galarian Ambassador hoarded?

Either way.

He cackled as the Applin came crashing down, kind of like how a certain person discovered Gravity (not the Pokémon move) and the Salamence came in screaming with a Flamethrower at the ready, almost incinerating the Applin.

“Whoa, Gabe! Whatever gender the Applin is, they didn’t do anything to you!” he yelped as he had to dive out of the way because those flames were still hot!

The Applin, not wanting to be outdone, used Withdraw and hid deeper in its apple, before lashing back with a Rollout that went ricocheting into the trees—only to be met with the burning maw of the draconid’s Flamethrower.

Once the Salamence was sure that the ‘threat’ had been handled, Alexei then chucked the next Safari Ball at it—and knew he had to pick up the pace because he was running out of time…!

all questions answered anonymously and ICly.

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"
now that’s a damned loaded question. let me just say that there is something preventing me from giving my all, but only because it’s a lifelong medical condition. (and the rest of the question goes unanswered)

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"
staying in with the amphibian and just. homecooked meals and desserts for days, out the nose!

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"
I do. thing is I was born on a day that falls between the Archer and the Goat, so, depending on which version you follow, I’m one or the other.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"
haha. Nice try.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"
since I am gay as the day is long, I’m pretty sure any hell spawn I create would most likely end up being surrogated… however I am pretty sure my life partner has forbidden me from dying so obviously my answer would be with because. Just because.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"
anywhere but Unova. There was a reason I left the damned place.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"
if I told you, you’d doxx me.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"
delta stream. because it’s highly beneficial to all Flying-types.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"
this region’s my home now. no way in ass hell you’re sending me back to Unova. I left that place for a damned reason.

"If you can be an avatar, which legendary Pokemon would you prefer to be your patron?"
(instead of a drawing, a hastily-cobbled sketch of the Wandering Stormbringer is left in place of an answer with the text underneath, ‘only him.’) [if it wasn’t clear: Tornadus.]

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"
I wish I did when I was growing up. kind of hard to pick one when your parents would always leave you in the hospital, wouldn’t you say?

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"
the mere fact that is there already has me wanting to rest my tired wings. Oh, and his cooking. I’ll take one eternal order of my partner’s home cooking, please!

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."
that’s a toughie. can’t I pick both?! But if I really had to… science fiction.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."
how in the fuck did this game get its hands on some top-secret information?! geez.

He idly wondered who out of the racers was possibly getting airsick by now. What with the current way the obstacles were set up, they mostly involved sharp, banking turns—something which Gabriel was better at than Kyouya—at the cost of some endurance…

…yeah, his Braviary was better built for longer-distance flight as compared to his Salamence.

Either way, the inversion section of the course was coming up, and the briefest flash of a grin crossed his face.

“Gabe, show everyone what the hell you’ve got and what we can do, together!” he hissed as he flattened himself upon approach on the next obstacle—

And still wondering who would either spin out or get really, incredibly dizzy after this stretch of the course!

To be honest, he was… losing hope that a certain Pokémon (well, certain several Pokémon) would be appearing in the Safari Zone (he’d already gone there and found two of the three, but not the one he really absolutely wanted) so he’d decided to make the trip, all the way out here—

Oh dear deer. Did he have enough—yes, he did, he made sure to bring enough Pokéballs just in case—

The peace and quiet would be shattered by a circling figure—and if one were to look up, the circling figure would be a blue-plumed Braviary, coming in for a landing with someone on his back—a very windswept companion, hair blown all over the place but looking fresh as a daisy at the same time.

“Whoa, Kyouya, I just—oh, hello!”

“Shit, I should’ve brought Kyouya—but then that would be pandering too much to the crowd, wouldn’t it?”

The Salamence huffed—it was no fair, how come his ‘partner’ got to fly the crazier courses, but he was relegated to the ‘back burner’ when it came to speed races like this.

“Then again, Gabe, you’re slightly faster than Kyouya—but… well, your turning needs some work. You up to it?”

He draconid gave another grumbly huff, before bracing himself as they approached the next obstacle…

Taking that as a challenge, the dual-type ‘grinned’, before beginning to lean towards the first of many bendy and twisty turns that this new obstacle produced for them to tackle.

“Don’t you dare give up on me now!”

The wheezing laughter clips into real, actual laughter because holy shit that was one of his many weak spots—[break][break]

“You cheat!” he wheezed again as he tried to tackle tickle behind your knees, but considering how they were literally pretzeled on the couch that was going to be difficult for him to tickle anywhere else.[break][break]

After several more minutes of trying to (unsuccessfully) tickle you into submission, he throws the white flag.[break][break]

“No fair, you know all my tickly spots,” he huffed as he finally hiccupped himself back into some sense of seriousness to catch his breath, leaning his forehead against your shoulder.[break][break]

“I… actually have something to ask you.”

ULTRA CRATER: AGEL

Thankfully the ‘flying human’ scenario was fixed with his Braviary’s timely appearance and the two eventually caught up—

“What’s the matter?” he hummed back quietly—he could feel the heat radiating from beneath where they were, before realizing that they were now with the two ladies—well, Miss Elinor and the kid actually.

He then turned to the ‘youngest’ of their current party and asked, “How’d you end up in here anyway?”

It was—strange. Didn’t the Fortree Ohana keep an eye on the Rift back outside? Keep unwanted incidents (like this) from happening? Unless…

“Uh… we better clear out, there’s like, a distortion nearby and—”



• Bird is worried for Frog and wants to try and angle so they can clear out now that they’ve got their missing person found, however—
• He then asks Lash a question—how did she end up in here anyway?
like, the distortion is still there why ain’t we talking about the Copperajah in the room?!
