It might just be a trick of the light but Angelo’s Heatran doesn’t look very Heatran-like at all… Instead, it looks suspiciously like a Midday Lycanroc. If he’s noticed his little legendary blunder – clearly the message just got lost in translation, right? – the courier doesn’t show it. [break][break]

Although technically, he wasn’t really invited so… Oh well.[break][break]

“Woah, shit,” Angelo whistles, impressed, as he leans his bike up against Zac’s fence. He’s arrived just as the large, redhead mentions about this construction being a tower of dreams; his hands clasped around a package that has this particular address scrawled across. “I think you guys win the award for 'most memorable house I've delivered to' today. No contest.” It sounds like a compliment, given the sparkle of interest in his eyes. Angelo notices Doug then and gives him a greeting smile before handing off the delivery to the recipient – job done but his work not over.[break][break]

“Hey, got room for one more? I’d be crazy to pass up on a free opportunity to venture into space.” The courier asks, unabashed in his desire to jump into adventure, even with people he wasn’t all too familiar with. Sans one bug catcher. [break][break]

There’s some time to spare between deliveries… Why not use it building a stairway to heaven?[break][break]

As the lava pokemon spew magma, Orion summons chunky shards of rock from her STONE EDGE to burst out of the ground, propping the slowly climbing pillar up with a steady base. Someone had told Angelo recently that a good foundation was important, no doubt a tower as big as this would need one to stop it toppling. Molten liquid drips down, stone becoming buried underneath but the shape maintained – like roots on a great, star-reaching tree.

Ah, so that was why the box had been… vibrating. [break][break]

(Is it weird that Angelo is a little usure whether to be relieved or underwhelmed that it’s just a Minior? Anyway…) [break][break]

“Thanks, man.” He laughs when Zac Ramsay compliments the Lycanroc, her tail wagging as she sniffs at one of the Heatran, unperturbed by the lava spewing monsters. “Just… Don’t tell her she isn’t really a Heatran. It’ll break her heart.” Angelo still wasn’t sure, even after evolving, whether Orion was incredibly brave or just lacking in a few braincells. He thinks it might be the latter, considering how she barked and leaped into the air at the tower, tongue lolling out of her mouth. [break][break]

“Favourite male member?” There's a quirk of his brow, smiling in amused curiosity at John Sullivan . “You got someone else to join the association?”[break][break]

It’s then that a familiar figure descends from the sky atop a Dragapult; crashing the party in style. If Angelo hadn’t figured out that it was Andy Blackadder by the time he makes his entrance, his voice was more than enough to stir some memories. Angelo smirks in fond amusement at the loser comment and raises a hand up in return greeting. [break][break]

“Long time no see, Andy,” he gets out before turning to Zac, something incredulous and daring glittering in blue eyes. Like he had a plan to poke a spitting fire, just to see where the embers sprayed. “You wouldn’t happen to have a safety helmet for the kid? He’s got a nasty habit of getting hit in the face by projectiles.” Angelo comments, loud enough for Andy to hear while jabbing a thumb in his direction, recalling the time on the adventour when skyler dross had pitched a beautiful throw of a pokeball right into the teenager’s skull.[break][break]

Called away from Andy’s potential venomous comment – flashing the teenager a grin as he makes his escape – Angelo makes a beeline towards Kazimir Wynter . It looks like they were on team staircase or, better yet, team Lycanroc. [break][break]

“Got it. It’s Angelo, by the way. Doug said your name was Kaz, right?” He greets, lips a tiny bit strained at the corner – not caring much for being called you. Better introduce himself quick before it sticks. There’s a quick whistle then for Orion to join up with the other Lycanroc, the pair of them working together to construct stairs made of rock. “You know... If we lay the stairs out wide enough, you think the Heatran might be able to climb up? Will be able to build the tower higher then.”
