he skips over the first question as it's conveniently followed up by another.

"what?" priam scoffs. "i'm, like, super adult. i got a job, and i even pay my own rent! oh, and i do taxes!"

not that he actually knows how to act like one, but he's been doing what was expected for a responsible member of society at least. he's got a good, clean record too, as far as police records are concerned.

"boring's fine. they make us interesting people glow up more! don't be so hard on yourself!" he grins, laughing heartily, before actually answering the inquiry.

folding his arms, he speaks up.

"abnormally good looks, pleasant personality, great hair, uh, what else? oh, i like long walks on the beach, fishing on a nice weekend afternoon, and all the other good shit! tell me the things you enjoy, and there's a good chance i like that too!"

this wasn't his first rodeo. there had been multiple attempts of speed dating before, many (if not all) ending up with him going home without anyone. this was different though, since at least there's someone else at home already for him.

also, isn't officially with him anyways since he hasn't asked yet so this is fine.

priam has been tidying his gabite's dark-colored bowtie when a person approaches the table. the dragon-type peers behind priam, informing him that his partner has already arrived.

"oh, hey! it's you!"

he sees paxton approaching, indicating that he might have been paired up with him. he beams up as he immediately leaves the gabite, leaning on the table with his head propped up with an arm.

"wanna know stuff about me? i'm, like, all sorts of interesting, ya kno?"

the air was eventually lifted by efforts of various rockets, giving priam a clear view of their target. a single word is uttered as he forces himself to move from the sheer intimidation the sight imposes unto him.

"shit!"

there was no need for to shout out orders for priam already was aware of the objective. xerneas is the main prize, and he's not going to let it perish like the one he helped decimate on littleroot.

he steers his braviary towards the target, travelling ahead than bryan, but not after he dismounts and recalls the avian. another pokemon takes its place as priam goes for the offensive.

"earth power!"

a massive figure of the venusaur appears from the pokeball. what he had saved up for a big display of power to show off ends up being useful in the end. with the grass-type powered up by the very essence that started the entire hunt for the legend, it roars and stomps its feet onto the tree.

a burst of energy surges from underneath the seviper as the ground opens. properties of the soil that alludes to its magic are yet to be tested like the scientific processes followed by the grunt, but alongside a little prayer comes optimism.

"i got the good luck charm!" he yells at . holding his gabite's pokeball, he waves for the man to take it. "if you're going anywhere near it, this is a 'just in case'"

tl;dr
  • priam rides to the frontlines with braviary
  • recalls braviary, releases venusaur
  • venusaur uses earth power
  • priam reminds bryan of his gabite

galarian species are the premium goods since priam's first impression of people coming from that region is that they're all fancy as fuck. unova comes second after it though, which isn't bad considering hoenn's most likely near the bottom.

"mister got me this!" priam announces cheerfully as he throws the pokemon to the furnace. he turns to the other person in the room who supervises the process. "bet'cha it's like super high class! i heard excadrill are super great 'mons for battles anyways, so this is 'bout the same quality, i feel like."

the scientist blinks, nods at priam to play along with him, and then continues to eat his instant ramen on his desk.

priam smiles in pride, taking the unexcited reaction as acknowledgement, before he looks at the system itself. his face contorts to worry before he shrugs into contentment.

he might've read the label wrong, but they're about the same, right?

"pfft, yeah. of course! whaddya take me for? an amateur?"

it was counterintuitive to give up something of similar essence to what they would've wanted.

"besides, i'm just an assistant that knows very little about the complicated stuff! that stuff's what they want! no one would expect me to know anything about thingamabobs in the lab!"

he didn't even know the name of the alloy he had worked developing with with the previous rocket boss.

"but yeah, this is still a big maybe. i'll let ya know if i actually got something!"

priam rubs the back of his neck, subtly conscious that he would be affected by the league scientist's safety.

"if rocket can't blast through its defenses, then we shouldn't really be worried about it either. even teleports, phasing through, and going through dimensions don't seem to be working."

he eyes walsh, unsure if he should voice out 's name in front of bryan for working alongside her. priam gives out reports to the boss about his findings anyways, regardless of whether this meeting happened or not.

"i haven't tried brute forcing yet though."

fighting against the tree itself was a risk he's not willing to take too early with his gabite's return.

"oh?"

maybe he was starting to get paranoid. it was easier when it was him being worried about instead of the other way around. consciously, he makes a note that he probably should get it out of his system before it becomes a liability.

"i'm always down for more food," he tells bryan despite already having eaten. "you can check the fridge if anything you want's there. don't finish it all though."

on bryan's absence, priam has filled it with food he's more aligned to, namely sweets such as cake slices he stole from league's head scientist research lab's break room.

"you sure you can get your end of that bargain though?" priam asks bryan. "what ridiculous thing did you ask for that either of us can't possibly get?"

"it's like energy to actually move, i think. that's like a common theme on how most stories go, right? big beast rest for a millennia, hero wakes 'em up for a boss fight, and things like that!"

he did get it from the regirock ruins, which is similar to the setting of most of those said stories.

"if it is some sort of warning, then too bad it went to the wrong person."

priam shrugs. he waits for a bit before his eyes gradually light up in excitement as a thought forms in his head.

"unless that means i'll be some sort of those cool, awesome avatars in the future! maybe i am the chosen one, eh? whaddya think? i might be the arkey- arsy- fucking god avatar of the future!"

he arrives at the meeting place, expecting it to be full of serious people he can't even get friendly with. he drops the espeon he's carrying as his walk turns to a sprint as he finds one person he's comfortable with.

"you hang out with these people?" priam slings his arm around when he comes to the meeting. "ya really should hang out on ever grande more instead!"

he eyes each person at least once, glancing over them for just a moment. though his tone was riddled with humor and cheer, being around with this much rocket-affiliated people just wasn't a good move.

nevertheless, connections were bound to be made anyways when one lives on hoenn with every rocket seemingly still disguised as a civilian.

"i have one, boss!" priam pipes up as he raises his hand, using locke's shoulder to rest his elbow on. "whaddya mean no memory? ya hidin' full details on us or somethin'?"

while the wording was challenging in its own right, the smirk and the lightheartedness of the way he said it assures that priam wasn't being offensive with the question. besides, he can't be too aggressive towards since he's a rocket admin.

ignorance is bliss. he wonders if that saying was applicable in this siutation as well.

he's already been told by bryan about his plans. he just never thought that he'd bring in the rocket boss to realize it.

past experience with rocket tells him that this will be a give and take, weighted heavily towards the boss's side of the deal. with the changes the organization has undergone, however, he's not entirely sure if they're reliable points of references anymore.

priam swallows.

he has nothing to say for this matter. part of him wants to rely on blind trust with the system and hopes it all works out in the end. walsh is nice, right? priam has nothing to fear with regards to his reaction with bryan's request.

"definitely not! all they say is 'beep boop i am a robot beep boop' and shit like that! there's been two sightings of regis on hoenn and none of them talked properly..."

granted, he hasn't seen the regirock and the regidrago, but the regi he saw with the underboss definitely did not talk in the same manner as the voice in his head.

"i can ask it when it pops up again, i think. i can't get it to speak again, but it's definitely in my head, i swear!"

priam flushes in embarrassment and then shifts his eyes elsewhere. it seems embarrassing to talk like this. the only ones that would probably take it seriously at first would be weirdos.

"it's not a regi, i don't think, but i guess it did say something like gathering energy? i don't really get it to be honest."

"studied?"

since when did bryan become a subject of interest? priam seldom saw him at the rocket labs, if at all. it all comes to a surprise for him that he drops everything to focus on bryan, noticing his eye color in the process.

there was shock, but priam didn't seem shaken up. he's seen worse after all.

"oh no, what did you do...?" at this point, priam seems more curious than ever. "bryan? what contract? this isn't blackwell rocket anymore that you can't just say no to those, y'know?"

he's glad for that since he couldn't before.

"they got me drinking weird things before for cash too! did you do one of those things? you should just ask me for money if you don't have 'em! i'll let ya borrow some!"

priorities were all over the place with how confused priam is to handle this situation. he's not used to being on the other end of this interaction.

he's not much of an information broker, but he's learned some of the trade from hanging around the people of 's field. connections were the biggest part of it, and priam has one with a person inside.

casually, he answers lulu's question.

"usually favors. sometimes information of the same relevance. sometimes it's a scam so it's just a cost without any actual payment. money's not that important of a commodity nowadays for the big stuff like that."

seeing as lulu seemed to talk about the information has to be a big deal, priam tries to lighten up the tone of his statement to not sound as bleak as this supposed trade can be.

"i'll barter a good price though! i'm good at that-- like, really good!"

he chuckles, and then shoots down the subject in case lulu doesn't want to pursue it further.

"don't worry about it for now though! i'm not even sure if my friend can even get something for us! hehe..."

"lucky for you, i'm here!"

despite the arrogance, priam has limited knowledge and very little expertise on the subject. he picks up terms here and there, but the only real scientific processes that embeds in his head are the ones that he has hands on experience with, which is often limited to secretary work.

to get away from actually proving his supposed reliability, priam distracts the other with yet another topic.

"oh, hey! you put stickers on your pokeballs too? i used to do them too!"

the only ones that currently have them are his rare ones. his espeon and gabite's used to have them, but he had them scratched off so he looked more mature in front of other colleagues.

"man, i used to fill the pokeballs out with them before! i couldn't have too many pokemon to take care of, so i had to compensate with just bunching all stickers on the ones i have. you had that experience too?"

from 's aurora veil and 's assistance with jungle healing, priam manages to somehow survive the thrashing brought by the rillaboom. despite all of these, alongside being debilitated by 's efforts, priam still finds himself catching his breath.

'i'm alive, i'm alive', he kept repeating in his head. 'you can't die, priam. you're a main character!'

it takes him a moment to respond to after he gets snatched up by the rillaboom. "a-alright!" he shouts from above to . "m-meet you up there!" the voice was forcibly cheery despite the obvious nervous tone. he attempts to squeeze out on his own, but no dice.

he turns to the other victim besides him. "miss iyano, you have anything to loosen its grip? i got our escape ride!" he suggests to as he manages to take a pokeball out.

before he gets the idea he made up on the fly rolling, he addresses the first responder to his initial call for yet another assistance. "mister frost! another one please!" he shouts to .

a quick switch was made afterwards.

the guzzlord's form disappears from a laser from priam's ball, attempting to fake out the rillaboom's attack for it to lose its balance. with the rest laying bare without a pokemon to eat up the giant's attacks, he'd hope the rest of the party has defenses to prepare for it, or at least the time to get away from it.

in the ultra beast's place, priam releases the shadow pokemon whose cry was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the vicinity. the large avian circles around the rillaboom as priam whistles for its attention before pointing at the rillaboom's face. it's followed with weird hand gestures that only priam and his pokemon might be able to decipher.

the pokemon fires off a grand oblivion wing at the rillaboom. its eerie hue was unnatural even among other pokemon moves, but working with it has priam desensitized from it.

priam raises his hand right after the attack, with which he whistle's for to notice it too. the braviary swoops in towards their direction after the attack, its talons lowered to the level at which they can grab hold on.

he reaches for it, but it's up to the other to grab onto it.

16TqkJvj


tl;dr
  • priam recalls guzzlord to fake out the rillaboom
  • times the recall so the rillaboom hits the air
  • priam releases braviary
  • braviary uses oblivion wing at the rillaboom's face
  • braviary swoops in to get priam and kano
  • priam grabs his braviary
