A clear blue sky carried the light of mid-morning all across the city of Mauville and the terrain surrounding it. The forecasts had been checked meticulously to ensure that the weather wasn't miserable before the first flier had even been made. Normally Andy would brag on such planning, but for this one occasion he would pretend as if the fine weather was fated for his little excursion. How forgiving karma would have been in that case given the false pretenses under which it was organized.
[break][break]
Arms stretched across the back of a bench just outside Mauville's west gate, only a backpack seated beside him. His glistening white gengar hovered about poking at the potted plants built into the concrete. Epitaph was obviously bored as he glared at a white rose petal, but the Blackadder boy had demanded he leave his typical home within his shadow in order to be more visible to his guests. The deception was regrettable in the case of his friends Hideo and Doug, but they would think him a fool for pursuing a creature like Giratina.
[break][break]
Still, setting this all up had been easier than he thought, though not without its frustrations. Most of his ghost types were as independent as he was, and many plastered his stacks of fliers in places most people would never catch a glimpse of them. Full color pages filled with eye catching graphics and font were not cheap, especially when he had placed an order of five hundred. Narrowing his chocolate eyes at Epitaph, he still suspected his most trusted spook had thrown his stack into the closest garbage can.
[break][break]
What surprised him thus far was not one League goon had shown up to ask questions or shut down his little planned adventure. He wouldn't have been above bribing any low level officer or soldier to stay out of his way, but it was much better that he didn't even have to go through those lengths. Hopefully Doug's presence would ward off any obstructionists should they rear their ugly heads later. Now he only need wait to see who would arrive.

A lovely day for a fun adventure with a bunch of other trainers close to his age.

When Hideo had been given that flyer by one of his siblings (and had his Beheeyem read it for him), he couldn’t pass it up. Of course, he had the hurdle of getting his parents to let him go. But with a bunch of other kids? And with supervision by a League member they knew well? That made his parents a lot more pliable. And they weren’t doing anything too dangerous; just trailing around the forest to find some rare Pokemon to catch.

Of course, his parents made sure that he was well-prepared for the excursion, his backpack packed with more than he probably needed. But better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Hideo walked along the sidewalk, headed to the meeting location. He’d been around here before, and even had the same Pokemon guiding him - his Ambipom held his free hand with a tail while his other hand tapped away on the ground with his cane. Her familiarity with the area was why he had her guiding him instead of Rocky, who was still within his Pokeball.

It didn’t take long to reach the meeting point. Hideo wasn’t aware if there was even anyone else here until Pom raised his hand up, waving it ahead towards someone else.

She was also sure to shoot Epitaph a bird with her free tail.

Hey there!” Hideo said as he was awkwardly forced to wave. “You here for the Pokemon Hunt too?

aedan wouldn't have even found this place if it wasn't for swain, his corvisquire, chancing upon one of andy's fliers and leading aedan by the nose. it was a miracle his parents agreed to let him tag along, though he would've just played hooky if it came down to it. school shmool!

flash forward to the west gate at mauville. aedan stumbles across a tawny haired kid and blackadder, the latter reclined against a bench while the former stood on their own two feet. wow, andy's here? it was relieving to know everyone around him wouldn't be a stranger. but it did mean they would be putting up with his incessant quips like as not. that'd take some warming up to.

"hey, andy! didja get the flier too!?" aedan offers greetings to the more familiar face before turning to the stranger. "hi. i'm aedan." aedan wears a bashful grin and a faint flush, evidently eager to seem cordial. "so... are we it?" amber orbs flick betwixt them.

Kids.

Normally they were supposed to keep out of the fucking way when the adults did all the cool shit.

Not anymore!

When Arashi had spotted the flier, he’d ripped it off the telephone post where it had been stapled up and took note of the details—that should be easy enough. With Alfons and Luxu, this should be a snap.

He’d spent enough time getting ready, and eventually set out with four companions—coming in at the meeting place while riding his Golurk. What a way to make an entrance!

“Everyone here yet?” he asked once the Golurk had touched down and lowered its body enough for him to jump down from a safe height, scoring a direct two-point landing once he’d alighted on the ground.

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"Ruby had no idea why she was actually here. Sure, a flier had caught her attention, but its contents were so ludicrous. Tired of adults hogging cool mons? That was absolutely silly. Just exactly how young were the people who wrote this flier anyways? Regardless, she couldn't help but be intrigued by it all. Going out and doing something with people hopefully close to her age certainly seemed at least a tad bit less boring than having to deal with all manner of stuffy business anyways. With a sigh, Ruby gently patted Amor as she rode upon their back, the Togekiss flying her towards their destination.[break][break]

Spotting the group of people, Ruby slowly lowered herself to the ground nearby, sliding off the back of her pokemon. Patting it affectionately, she'd return the Jubliee Pokemon to its Pokeball before finally looking around at everyone around her. Whether she was wrong or not, it took a single glance for her to realize she was likely the oldest person there. Some of them could hardly even be teens, could they?[break][break]

Confused and a bit apprehensive, Ruby didn't outright approach anyone just yet. There would be time for idle conversation later when every other rowdy kid in Hoenn showed up. Her hands idly gripping onto the pokeballs hanging on her waist, itching to get going and do something.[break][break]

... God, did she sign up for babysitting? She sure hoped not. Whatever the case was, Ruby would give a soft smile to the collected group and speak just as soft. "Hello there... This is the right place, yes?"

[attr="class","vivaright"]NOTES
[break]
SMOL GANG




As much as she hates to admit it, Eris knows that she needs to make some friends around her age. Given the grand goals of Team Rocket and the sheer amount of danger that lies with each task assigned, she finds herself constantly surrounded by adults, conditioned to mind her mannerisms and be smart about every decision she makes. But sometimes, she does need a space to let loose, to have some people that she can confide in without the fear of being judged for the scale of her own worries compared to the massive schemes going on in the organisation.
[break][break]
When she's alone, she's Eris Halla, a simple girl who'd been born and raised in Kanto. She dissociates from the singular identity of Eris, bears the cruel beauty that is a forgotten family name and cries a little over the loss of what she once had. She's a little bitter towards the topic of family, jealous of others who have one and can't help but be a little jaded when prompted to talk about the things on her mind. Perhaps, that is why Reiner feels the need to be present at all times, rarely apart from the child as he gently nuzzles her cheek.
[break][break]
"I'm fine." She insists, carefully sweeping any loose hair from her face as she reads the flyer once more - Pokehunting with a gang of kids from all walks of life. "Just… a little nervous, I guess." For once, she might just be able to find a human friend, someone who can carry out a conversation with her instead of just relying on pure guesswork. But what exactly is she supposed to talk about? Though she's got her fair share of interesting stories to tell, she figures that many other kids wouldn't be building explosives nor tinkering with complex gadgets of their own…
[break][break]
Before she even notices it, Eris finds herself standing right before a group of strangers, existential dread clawing at her stomach as she struggles to find any words. Had this actually been an event for close friends? They looked like they knew each other already…
[break][break]
"Hi! Uhm! I'm Eris…" Gripping tighter onto Reiner's mane, she lets out a shaky breathe before gathering her wits. "We're gonna hunt for pokemons today, right?"

The distant sound of an engine soon reached the gathering area as the silhouette of a vehicle appeared in the distance, approaching from the direction of route 111.

A pick-up truck looking straight out of a catalogue from the 1940s rolled up to the group, manned by a sleepy black-haired youth sporting a straw hat with artfully sewn patches of plaid and checkered fabric, and a single carnation slipt into the straw.

The youth audibly and visibly yawned as he came to a stop before the group, smacking his lips while blinking blearily for a moment before leaning back into his seat.

"Reportin' for duty, fellas. What's crackin'?" He said as he swung the door open and stumbled outside, looking dead on his feet.

Don't let appearences fool you, though! He had only pulled a single all nighter to get all the paperwork sorted out so he could be there. He was totally up for anything!

As soon as... he got... just a few minutes of shut eye...

The youth wavered in his feet, blinking slowly... before noticing a familiar silhouette.

"Oh, Hideo!" He said, the sleepiness seemingly slapped off him as he jogged up to the smaller youth, kneeling down besides him to ruffle his hair. "Got mom to let'cha come? Nice goin'!"

Still grinning wide, he looked around the area, nodding at with his chin before turning over to the rest of the group, looking over them.

Hell yeah, no stinky adults in sight. No offense, , Ki.

"Hello y'all! Name's Doug. Thought many might turn up, so I got a mechanic friend to fix up that old bag of bolts over there for a short trip." He said, gesturing over his shoulder with his thumb at the pickup truck behind him.

"'pologies me the lateness! Mind if we go over all the names 'gain?"

Somehow he had a feeling it would be that showed up before anyone else. That lust for freedom typically generated a promptness not shared by many his age. Unlike Doug whose autonomy often made him scarce and tardy. As the two walked up, Epitaph made to gesture at the boy's seeing eye pokemon, but a harash glance from his trainer belayed the action. Now wasn't the time for that foolishness.
[break][break]
''But of course.'' For a brief moment, Andy considered trying to put on some fake accent or voice in an attempt to fool his friend, but decided that might be a little too cruel and sidetrack things. ''Who do you think is running this circus?'' It wasn't long after his chocolate eyes slotted another boy he had met stumbling along. It was his admittedly cute, if clumsy, ginger friend .
[break][break]
''Aye,'' he answered. ''An entire stack of them even.'' Would Aedan peace it together? He wished Epitaph was wandering closer so he could have made a wager, even if the gengar rarely held up his end of any loss. Either way, he would skip on an explanation and allow the two present to introduce themselves proper. Doubtless there were going to be a slew of introductions, at least if his flyers had done their job.
[break][break]
Distracted from their current prattle by the sound of footfalls thundering towards then, Andy, and likely everyone else in mile radius looked to the source of the noise: a blond rode a golurk towards them. Hadn't he seen this guy before? Sometime around New Years? He couldn't remember if he had met . The mount wasn't a bad idea, and he had a golurk as well. The prospect was only kicked around momentarily before dismissed.
[break][break]
That's a little too lazy, even for me He thought to himself. After a nice landing, he had to admit, the newcomer got right down to business. He didn't even introduce himself. Before identification could be requested however, a female showed up. Andy thought he might recognize her too, but he wasn't precisely sure where he had seen her, or if he and had even met.
[break][break]
''Aye, if you're here for the youth hunt you're in the right place, lassy.'' Seeing that an obvious group was forming, his glistening, pale gengar slid over the bricks to come stand by his trainer's side. Throughout all of their time together Andy had never entertained this many guests before. And yet more came as a much smaller girl approached the forming mob. At glance he guessed she was around Hideo's age.
[break][break]
Wonder if he'll be all shy and blushy around her. A glance was cast at the boy for a quick gague of reaction. ''That's right, Miss Eris.'' He would let a little charm trickle out unless proved to be a total brat. There was only room for one of those around here. And then once again a distant noise drew his gaze to the road that ran into the west gate. He recognized the driver as they drew near, but what was that truck?
[break][break]
''Waiting on you,'' he answered the straw hat stranger. ''Make a pitstop by the junk yard? I thought you were bringing some proper League equipment. With air conditioning.'' That was the most important part. The state of the vehicle looked like the age old two forty-five AC would be all that was available. asked for names again, so he halted his complaining long enough to allow for it.

More—well, people around his age turned up, which was a good thing.

The slightly alarming thing though was one of the other girls who had turned up—he thought he’d recognized her face. Hopefully she didn’t know him, because reasons.

Either way…

“Oh, oops,” he remarked as he looked over to where his Golurk had now assumed a seated position and was slowly being flocked to by all manner of Taillow and Wingull that were flying through the path. He really did have a gentle giant of a Golurk at times.

“Sorry. Name’s Arashi. Came from Slateport,” he introduced himself, swinging up his arms and resting his hands behind his head.

The pink-haired young lady looked familiar, too… hm.

Hideo grinned when he heard Andy respond to him. Little surprise Andy was the first one here - he was the one arranging this whole thing! “Just had to make sure~” he teased, lowering his hand. Pom tilted her head, a little disappointed she didn’t get another flip-off competition from the Gengar.

Hideo listened as more people began to show up. He didn’t immediately recognize the first (new) person to talk to him, but he kept his smile. “Nice to meet you!” he said, waving to without assistance, “Pretty sure it won’t just be us though.

And he was quickly proven right; one person seemed to drop from the air. A couple more simply approached them, one sounding nervous while the other sounded more reserved. He didn’t recognize any of these three though.

And then he heard a car pull up by them. He half-expected it to be an adult sent to supervise them - only to immediately recognize that voice. And even if he didn’t recognize the voice, that hair-ruffling was an immediate tell. “That’s ‘cause they knew you were coming too!” he giggled, trying to fix his hair with his hand. “I didn’t know you had a license!

Though judging from Andy’s comments, it wasn’t the highest-quality ride. Eh, not like he expected something fancy from a guy living in a homeless camp.

Ah, right, introductions. Though he couldn’t resist teasing Doug a little first. “Forget my name already? And you just said it too!

Joke made, he turned towards where he heard everyone else. “I’m Hideo Kino. I’m also from Slateport.” He paused for a moment, thinking over whether to share more - and noting it was probably best to just let everyone know now. “I’m blind, but my Pokemon are trained to help me, so I can do just as well as anyone else. Doug and Andy can back me up on that.

His Ambipom offered a thumbs-up with her free tail, attesting to that.

SMOL GANG




Bit by bit, the pieces were slowly falling into place, people slowly trickling in as they began to exchange names and greetings. Eris was by no means prepared for any attention being laid upon her, a mix of confusion and sheer nervousness briefly crossing her features as she inches behind Reiner to hide from .
[break][break]
"Eris Halla." She repeats for the sake of . "You can just call me Eris… not used to being called Miss…"
[break][break]
As if Rocket members would ever refer to her as anything more than kid.
[break][break]
She neglects to share her region of birth, for fear of the looks she may receive should they know what's befell the region, by the League's definition at the very least. Even after all these years of reading the articles and hearing the news herself, she still isn't quite sure what to make of it. Perhaps, it's better for her not to linger on the possible causes without solid evidence to back her theories. However, her mind never forgets the way of old, a slight slip of the tongue revealing a bit of a Kanto accent dusted over her words. Regardless of if she's caught or not, she's already trying to move on with a slight cough, turning her attention to the other people around as her Luxray carefully nudges her with his snout.
[break][break]
Given how he's able to drive a vehicle, Doug is probably the unofficial chaperone of the group. seems interesting in his own way, quick to confirm her suspicions of his listless gaze as she sneaks in a bit closer and wordlessly compares their height - Finally. It's just by a centimetre, but she's most definitely taller than him.
[break][break]
Before she can make a comment, she spies a familiar figure approaching, a brief smile given to acknowledge its presence. Just like her very first encounter, it makes it way around the group handing them each sparkling dust while she receives a chocolate egg - She's already had her share of magical glitter. Arceus knows how hard she tried to keep it from sticking to her clothes.
[break][break]
"Oh, and this is Reiner. He's sort of like my caretaker." Eris' fingers entangle with the Luxray's mane, a low growl rumbling from his throat as he watches the Ambipom closely. "He's really friendly though! Most of the times…"

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]Soon enough, her babysitting worries quickly faded when someone with a rather old truck pulled into view, parking itself rather close to the group. At first, she was expecting some kind of elderly man to step out. And yet, she found herself wondering why she was even surprised when another young face stepped out of the truck. He certainly looked familiar, but unfortunately exactly where she was blanking entirely. Was he someone of importance? It certainly made more sense than just someone she ran into randomly, anyways. The implication from that he was presumed to be bringing League equipment absolutely confirmed it.[break][break]

A young lad informed her she was in the right place. Although her visible confusion was certainly quite obvious. She didn't have any idea what to say, simply nodding and remaining quiet as everyone began to speak again, reintroducing themselves for . Some names seemed familiar, like , but others completely passed her by. A lot of them certainly seemed to know each other, however. [break][break]

Ruby paid close attention as everyone spoke, her eyes slowly drifting from one person to another. and his Ambipom as well as and her caretaker Luxray caught her attention quite easily. Young kids traveling the region with their pokemon, what could be better than that? It almost reminded her of herself and Whisper, her Hatterene. The pokemon she bonded with, probably even about their age too. Ruby's unspoken nerves began to fade away a little bit as she slowly walked over closer towards the group.[break][break]

Clearing her throat, she began to speak up with a fairly soft tone. "Um, hey. The name's Ruby Walker. A pleasure to meet all of you." Shifting on her feet, Ruby's hand drifted down to Whisper's Pokeball on her hip. A reassuring gesture to herself, for the most part. Social anxiety never had been something she struggled with before, but most of her interactions were with adults these days. Talking to people her own age and younger just seemed that much more difficult for some reason. [break][break]

"I'm a psychic pokemon specialist, so if we run into anything that we... Well, you know, need to talk to? I can handle that with my Gardevoir." Pausing for a few moments, mostly just to judge everyone's reactions, she eventually continued. "That said, even if we find nothing interesting, I still hope it's a fun time. I'm used to kind of camping by myself. I'll admit this is, well, a bit outside of my experience."

"Oh, that's cause I don't." Doug said to Hideo, grinning as he re-ruffled his fixed hairdo. He winked, both at Hideo and everyone else present. "Let's keep that to ourselves, eh?"

Andy came next, and Doug could only choke up on a laugh, before fixing himself up with an exageratted pout and slapping both hands atop his thighs, rising from his squat.

Had Andy gotten shorter? Eh, whatever.

"Ya were you the one who wanted to keep the League as far away as possible." Doug said to dryly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Ya should count yerself lucky me and the boys found this old, decommisioned thin' at the warehouse."

Camp Winstrate was old as balls, and it showed in the equipment that had been left to gather dust.

"Luckier yet that our Mechanic could get it to work like new." He said, his forced pout turning to a grin as he turned to face the vehicle. It really did look like it came straight out of a 40s catalogue- the paintjob was intact (that is to say, new), and the tires were also new.

His gaze turned to one blonde youth- , he said his name was. Somehow, he was even shorter than Andy but looked and sounded older; a strong jaw and a (relatively) deep voice could do one wonders.

"Pleasure to meet'cha, Arashi! Name's Doug! Like Hideo, I'm from Slateport, too. We should hang out!" He said, trying to look through his mental schedule, find the best day to ditch studying to hang out.

His gaze shifted to the young lady, . He was from Western-Kanto, and his accent was certainly not the regular- but he could pick it up when he heard it alright.

"Hello, Eris!" He said cheerfully, kneeling down before holding out his fist towards her. "Pleasure to meet'cha, eh?"

There was no point in bringing such a thing up in front of everyone else; he could only imagine the things she might have seen.

They were all there to have fun.

This brought him to the last person to speak- .

Doug stared at her with a slightly loose jaw, before making signals at her while everyone paid attention. THE 'Saint of Slateport' Ruby Walker?

Doug grinned wide.

"Pleasure to meet'cha as well, Ruby. We'll be leaving comms to ya, then, eh?" He said, looking the girl up and down once more. The Saint of Slateport- One of the heroes of the Blacephalon fiasco.

He wouldn't have expected to meet her there. Things just getting better and better for their squad!

He turned on his heel, facing the old vehicle once again as he spoke to Andy.

"This baby was used as transport in wars- Getting us from point A to point B should be easy, yeah?" He said, turning his grin back down to Andy, before throwing an arm around his shoulder and turning back to face the crew, clapping him in the back with a grin. "Now enough whining- introduce yerself proper to yer squad, commander!"

Andy had organized this expedition- so he was in charge of it. They could consider him the chaperone if they wished, but he was as young and as up for mischief as any of them.

Slateport. Slateport. Slateport. The home of League HQ, so not his favorite place. But then the haunted wilds of Mt. Pyre weren't exactly for everyone either. That Ruby girl, he swore he had heard of her somewhere, but he couldn't put his finger on it. So long as she wasn't a League puppet that would spoil the fun then another pair of eyes wasn't going to hurt anything.
[break][break]
''The kid's good,'' he added to 's little diatribe. Granted, he had seen him almost get killed, probably even twice now. But he wasn't about to stand in the kid's way. There were plenty of others who were eager enough to do that. ''Very well. Eris this if it pleases you lass.'' Acquiescence spoken through an exasperated exhale didn't sound nearly as polite as the words might seem.
[break][break]
Dealing with strangers, had he so quickly forgotten how much it grated on him at times? And yet here he was. It was all his idea, so he had no right to complain. Epitaph's gengar grin widened, as this was like watching his trainer fall into a mud puddle and wade around within on purpose. Whatever annoyance would be belayed by the appearance of a lopbunny.
[break][break]
A gift bearing lopbunny.
[break][break]
''Uh... Thanks.'' Arching an eyebrow, Andy stuffed the packet of dust into his backpack. Hopefully finding legendary pokemon would be this easy. If only they would just come right up to him. ''I think only Doug here camps with other blokes,'' the Galarian responded to . ''But thems extenuating circumstances.'' It would be weird to camp with someone else, unless you were an item.
[break][break]
None the less, a psychic specialist would be useful.
[break][break]
I think Hideo's got a ton of them mind reading fuckers too, he observed to himself. And then there was ... ''Aye. I did want the League as far away as possible. Which could have easily been accomplished by lying, mate. Come on. I see you think outside the box on like half dozen occasions.'' Deep down he felt the older teen just liked old vehicles.
[break][break]
Show off.
[break][break]
''Right,'' he barked shortly at Doug's suggestion. He was used to hanging around people he knew, or back in Galar where everyone already knew who he was, at least, if they mattered. ''I'm Andy Blackadder, dashing rogue from Galar, and fan of ghost types.'' Pointing at his white gengar, he continued, ''this is Epitaph. My finest and oldest charge.'' The pokemon gave a little wave.
[break][break]
''Now, I am hoping we find enough rare and fantastic examples of pokemon to sate everyone's grubby desires, but at any rate I figure it may take most of us to actually defeat one. Otherwise wouldn't be too damned legendary, would it? Mauville saw plenty of strange occurrences around the Three Days War, I assure you. I saw some of it. So there should be plenty of interesting things hid out there in the woods then, eh?'' He looked to Doug.
[break][break]
''Now, shall we?'' It was time to get underway, but not before – ''Shotgun!'' He called dibs.
