get!

Of course, the weird scales had almost gone unnoticed had she not looked down and spotted them—wondering if they were going to be worth something someday, she picked them up.

“Huh. Strange looking…” she began, before pocketing them—and then hearing quite an uproar not too far ahead. Now that was something that got her attention.

“Wonder what’s out there,” she said, musing for a few moments before eventually plucking a Pokéball from her pocket and sending out her Ralts, Antoinette forward. Seeing the weird and the strange caused the Ralts to turn around and face her, tilting her head up slightly so that she could see her human companion.

“You hear that? Can you check that out for me? she asked, pointing in the direction of where the sound was noticeably getting much louder. “Come on, don’t keep me waiting!” she added a few moments later, gesturing for the dual-type to go forward and investigate.

It didn’t take too long before the Ralts disappeared around the corner—and the loud noises stopped, only to be replaced with the sound of a roar. From what she could guess it was a Dragon-type, although she wasn’t sure which one as there were several of them she was aware of.

Either way, she could hear the distinct popping noise her Ralts made whenever it would warp around like a little troll, and the sounds of scuffling from what she now pegged to be a Gible—well, woebegone to the Dragon-type since Ralts was now part-Fairy!

After what felt like an eternity, the Ralts reappeared in front of her, using its own telekinetic power to levitate the unconscious Gible.

“I—I don’t want to know what you did, huh?” she asked the Ralts as she dropped a vacant Pokéball atop the Gible’s head—she knew from her experience with Rani that the Ralts was one of the more mysterious of her companions so far…



Catching the Gible!

how was she supposed to know

At the mention of the word ‘boyfriend’, she felt her ears suddenly heat up and turn red. Secretly thankful that she had long hair, she then let out an indignant-sounding squeak before turning around to face him, fists clenched and ready to cut a bitch!

“What! How was I supposed to know you got a boyfriend?!” she began, sputtering and continuing making those completely embarrassed noises. “Well, if you got a boyfriend, is it one I know, huh? Huh? He a part of our little gang? Evelyn continued, huffing again before crossing her arms over her chest.

“How in the name of Arceus was I supposed to know you’re taken?” she continued, her cheeks now flushing embarrassedly. “You sure don’t look like you got a ring on somewhere, do ya? How can you prove that you’re taken? Or… is it… she trailed off, getting lost in thought, pacing around for a few moments.

“…don’t tell me it’s like one of those cheesy romantic comedy plots where it’s like forbidden love and if you both get caught together you’re both dead?” she asked, taking a stabbing guess and not realizing that she’d actually unintentionally skidded too close to the truth.

Well, anyway…

“Okay, so,” she continued a few moments of silence later as she took a deep breath in order to calm herself down. “Okay. That Ampharos up there? It’s sick. I dunno how to heal it. You got an idea?” she asked the tall redhead. Hmm, what should I call you in the meantime? Strawberry? Wait that’s too cheesy! She thought, shaking her head at the indignant thought.

nice nickname use there owo

“I want it for myself, to be fair,” she began, replying in the direction of a semi-familiar voice looking over as she saw a shock of bright-red hair. Well, with the way it was spiked, it was undeniable—it was the same guy who had Water-types that he bossed around like an elderly grandma running an illegal cards game operation out of some retirement home’s living room!

“Well if it ate children I wouldn’t be around, would I?” she continued, cracking a grin as she heard am approaching bellowing roar. Shit, was it getting closer the longer they stayed here?

“Thankfully, I got a Dragon-type that can handle this sucker,” she remarked. Would he remember seeing her Hakamo-o? Maybe. Or maybe not! “Drampa like that are normally sleepy little oldies. Wonder what’s got this one pissed. You have any idea? she asked her companion—now, looking to be her partner, at least—before hearing another flock of Taillow and Wingull beat it the hell out of the area because of the approaching bellowing roar.

Shit, what’s got this one so mad anyway? Who the hell decided to tickle the sleeping dragon anyway? She thought to herself as she silently shook her head before sighing. Reaching for Rani’s Pokéball, she then flicked her wrist forward, watching the Hakamo-o hit the ground with a thudding noise before shaking her head.

“Get ready, Rani. There’s something you should be familiar with coming in,” she said quietly to the dual-type, who then bashed her fists together in a show of readiness, turning her sight towards the source of the noise.

well SHIT

Why did she think charging in was a good idea, anyway?

Shit, I’m at an obvious disadvantage… why didn’t I get a Water-type?! Were the first thoughts inside her head as she fought her way through the last of the crowd, finally breaking through and seeing that there was another at the scene, having busted out three Water-types and directing them like old ladies!

Okay that’s incredibly dorky but stupid cute, she thought with a hint of a grin on her face as she quickly rolled up her sleeves and began winding up the scarf higher so that it didn’t catch fire as she set in. Knowing that this was going to be a bit of a challenge, she tossed a Pokéball forward and watched her Hakamo-o emerge from the burst of red light, landing with a heavy thud beside her.

“Rani, we’re going in. I know, I must be stupid, but we have to save whoever else is in there. You with me?” she asked the dual-type, who then beat her fists across her chest and made to charge of ahead of her without even waiting for her confirmation!

“Geez, Rani, wait for me!” she called after the Hakamo-o, chasing after the bipedal draconid as the Pokémon plunged ahead into the fire that was coming out of the temple without even blinking.

puff puff, meeperneeper :joy:

She was still in shock at the menu.

When the date said ‘all expenses paid’, she wasn’t expecting to see a menu that had food names listed, but no price next to them.

So she had a feeling this was looking to either be a big scam where she was going to be set up to wash all the dishes later, or it really was a legitimately-sponsored date by the service in partnership with the restaurant, offering a taste of the high life and fine dining. She was a little surprised to see other couples being shown in, so at least she wasn’t alone.

Exhaling a little cloud, she continued to stare at the menu blankly, trying to figure out what the actual fuck she was going to select—she’d remembered asking the limousine driver about some details and all the guy said was ‘Don’t worry about paying, little miss, the service has everything covered. Even the limo drive,’ before gesturing to the snack bar inside the limo where she’d helped herself to some complementary pretzels and soda while on the way to the venue.

The moment she picked up the scent of blueberry-flavored smoke, she looked up from her still-shocked gaping at the menu and saw that she was no longer alone.

What earned the guy plus points right away was the fact that he was also a vaper, the only thing was that as compared to her conservative smoke-blowing, his was a little…excessive.

“Hey there, Cheesecake, didn’t know you were a vaper too,” she began in greeting, lightening the mood and stretching her hand out to shake the offered one. “I’m Evelyn, but you can call me Evie. And yes, apparently my parents thought it was a smart idea to watch The Mummy so I’m named after the librarian girl there,” she added as a bit of a joke to further set him at ease.

Rikiya—or Rick, as he preferred to be called, then took the seat opposite hers and puffed out a sizable cloud of blueberry.

“Have you seen the menu?” she asked, sliding the one that was offered to her his way. “There’s like no prices on it at all.”

who's worse in the kitchen?

Thankfully, the incident a few days prior had been dealt with, but it had left her feeling so uncomfortable for her new friend, she decided to surprise him at his apartment with something to do: baking!

Now, the problem here was that it had been some time since she’d actually done some baking, so her skills were rather rusty. That, and she didn’t know if his apartment had some kind of oven toaster or something.

Sure, she had to pilfer some of the baking supplies from unsuspecting open-air stalls while they weren’t looking, as well as pilfer some vape fluid as well (well to be honest the vape fluid she had to get legally, the rest she got by not-so-nice means) as a peace offering to the young man.

No, no, Evie. Don’t let yourself get distracted now. Keep it up. You’re already so close… she thought to herself, coming to a stop outside the apartment door and then knocking a few times. Looking around, she was a little appalled to see the living conditions of the other—at least it wasn’t as bad as her bed spacing situation down in Slateport.

Literally no privacy at all, either… that’s stupid… she continue to muse in the back of her mind, hoping that the bluenette would come to the door quickly and let her in; the place looked rather seedy and unsafe! The lightbulb flickering overhead was more than enough to set her on edge.

lol oopsiedoodle someone's got a stalker!

Well, this was interesting in more ways than one.

Now that she’d gotten a better handle on Rikiya, it came to her as no surprise that a few days later after the little incident involving the Pangoro she’d gotten a text from him asking if she was free for the day. So of course, she said yes and quickly made her way over to Rustboro, eventually arriving at the little café that he’d asked her to wait for him to arrive in.

Adding to get an order of something to drink as well, she then placed two orders; one for herself and a coffee for her companion for the afternoon, before settling down and picking up a magazine dedicated to fighting and thumbing through the pages. Waiting for the bluenette to show up.

She did find the tattoo on the right side of his face rather intriguing, but she’d forgotten to ask him about it—how the hell did he get it, where did it come from, and why exactly that design. Probably they’d gotten too swept up in the madness of the date and the Pangoro fiasco she’d only remembered that detail just now.

Gee, you’re an idiot, An—Evie, she thought to herself, mentally catching her. She’d almost slipped up and introduced herself with her real name on the date, she had to keep appearances up for the sake of getting close to someone in the League.

Well, a late-night binge on reading this guy’s file actually tipped her off on something—he knew her younger twin brother so she had to be extra careful around him, especially when they started talking more.

Oops…?

can you tell she's excited, the little shit

The moment she heard the word ‘Pangoro’ mentioned, she was all over the thing like a kid was on candies and sweets.

To be able to see a Pokémon native to home, in a place so far away? Up close and personal? She was definitely on to something! Excitedly agreeing without even reading the fine print, she’d slammed the ‘Accept’ button as fast as she could manage—not knowing exactly what kind of disaster she was getting herself into. So of course she got ready, preparing herself to meet some of the absolute cutest badasses in the entire history of existence.

What she was NOT expecting, however…

…was that it was an actual call for help to get two Pangoro to mate together and produce Pancham babies.

“What the fuck?!” she hissed the moment she’d arrived at the address and the lowdown was given to her by the pair of what she surmised were incompetent handlers—trying to explain how the two Pangoro were angry at each other and were at each other’s’ throats on a near-daily basis.

“You told me I’d get to meet them!” was her indignant shriek before she was herded inside and sat down. Explained to her that she wouldn’t be alone in the process.

They were desperate, this couple. They needed to get money before they went into even deeper debt—and then said that she wasn’t going to be doing this alone.

“Some small comfort,” she grumbled, arms crossed over her chest as she leaned back in the sofa, waiting for the other person to show up. Little did she know that it was going to be someone she’d already met previously…

Okay, what the hell did she sign herself up for in the first place?

Looking at the details on her phone, she couldn’t believe it—the blind date thing she’d signed up on had actually spat out a match for her, complete with date location and time. The ironic thing here was that it was in Mauville—a place where Rocket didn’t hold sway, but decidedly neutral on all matters of the word.

The even more ironic factor was that Mauville had been recently rebuilt and looked like a square version of one of the cities in her home region—which meant that everything in the place had to be high-end, right?

Right?

So when she took a look at the dress code for the blind date, she knew she was fucking screwed.

“Where the hell am I going to get a dress?!” she grumbled, huffing as she threw her phone on her bed, resisting the urge to scream out loud at the details. It was apparently at some high-end restaurant, all expenses paid—at least whoever had gotten her was either footing the bill or had managed to bribe the restaurant to sponsor them for free food and all that.

What was she to do?

Simple.



Several hours passed and she’d finally arrived, having been picked up by a rather swanky-looking limousine, and being driven off to Mauville’s high-end part of town, before coming to a stop in front of the classiest-looking restaurant in the joint. The door was opened for her, and she was escorted down a short walk towards a reception area, before being shown to a private table in a corner somewhere, escorted there by the maître d and sat down, with a menu placed in front of her.

Looking around, she’d never felt so out of place before… and after asking if it was okay to actually smoke in the place—and getting a reply in the affirmative, she then casually whipped out her vape pen and shook it slightly.

Perfect, she thought, taking a puff and slowly but surely filling up her part of the restaurant with vanilla-scented smoke, waiting for her blind date to show up…

the dress of swag

It didn’t take too long before she saw something literally fly out of the water—but it was pink. And it was definitely not a Dragon-type.

“What the hell?” she said to herself, frowning as she saw the Luvdisc pop out of the water and then fly through the air, arcing overhead before hitting the surface again with a wet smack. Blinking at this really confusing behavior, she couldn’t make heads or tails of what she’d just witnessed.

It…really didn’t make any sense at all. Shaking her head to clear out the cobwebs inside it, she then reached around in her pockets and pulled out something she’d secured recently—a vape pen. After shaking it slightly to check that there was liquid stored up in it, she began to take a puff, exhaling a puff of vanilla-flavored smoke a few moments alter.

And yet here she was, still questioning the fuck out of the existence of what had just transpired earlier.

“What in the ever-loving hell was that,” she continued again, turning around and leaving the water behind—going deeper into the cave, crossing her fingers mentally for something she could take home.
