"Hurry up, slowpoke!"

Captain Dross has taken to the challenge presented to her in the shape of icy reigns like a Goldeen to water. She'd been the first to step forward, guided by a reckless sense of adventure and drawing the metaphorical line in the sand for Angelo to follow should he wish to. The provocative grin she sends over her shoulder is needless, yet the does it anyway. There had never been a doubt in her mind that he'd join her: the only question then had been which one of them would get on their respective horses first.

The cold that bites at her fingers and the skin of her inner thighs - even through her clothes - means nothing against the fierce fire that her natural competitiveness sparks in her, that Angelo's presence fans until it roars with adrenaline fueled strength. It brings a flush to her cheeks, a wilderness to her quicksilver eyes seldom kindled in any other situation.

With one or two exceptions - usually involving her adventuring buddy. And way less clothes.

There's a moment of breathless anticipation in which Captain Dross is left to wonder at the sheer power in her grasp, muscles shifting beneath her saddleless grip as the obstacle course looms before her. Her mouth opens in the frigid air, but any words that the captain might have spoken are lost to her surprised cry as the equine jolts forward, its hooves barely hitting the ground as it gains speed at an alarming rate.

Surprise soon gives way to laughter, echoing in the icy chamber and following Skyler's passage as both her and Glastrier jump over the first obstacle. They arc high into the air, the captain holding on tightly for dear life. Thankfully, she has strong muscles - they make for a good enough grip to offset her increasingly obvious abysmal skills when it comes to horse riding.

Before the next obstacle comes into view, the captain calls out teasingly. "Growing slow in your old age, Angel?"

Skyler knew him well. [break][break]

Angelo is quick to join her in accepting the frozen reins, fingers clenching tight even when numbing pain assaults his flesh.[break][break]

When they’re not throwing themselves into chaos side by side, lunging forward like they’re ensnared by the same fishing hook, he’s only ever one step behind. Never far. His competitiveness and hunger for their adventures, always burning furiously when encouraged by an intoxicatingly wild smile, refusing to let the captain get too much of a head start.[break][break]

Although, sometimes, that single step is intentional. A footfall hesitated to indulge in a low simmering heat in his veins, to let his gaze linger and drag low in a burning trail as she pushes forward. [break][break]

Like today…[break][break]

Just admiring the view!” He retaliates to Skyler’s taunt over the thundering of hooves slamming against ice, utterly shameless in his admission as an exhilarated laugh grips cold lungs. [break][break]

Taking advantage of its rider’s distracted gaze, the Glastrier snaps chilly, blunt teeth towards its counterpart’s rear with a harsh click. Neck snatching out to risk a bite, pulling Angelo’s attention away from tempting curves and tensing thigh muscles with a jolt, frozen reins slicing deeper as he yanks the unruly steed’s head away. “Shit, c'mon!”[break][break]

Whether its bold advance was one of appreciation for the other’s ass or just that this Glastrier is one itself, is up for debate.[break][break]

Save the flirting for when we win, alright?” [break][break]

If the Glastrier huffs loudly from Angelo’s hypocrisy, he ignores it. Far too drunk from the flush of adrenaline and the sweet, tempting taste of victory - of the thought of a first place prize to claim - on his tongue. [break][break]

Strong thigh muscles squeeze the frozen sides of the untamed force beneath him, encouraging ice to bite fiercer against his skin and the mystical equine to surge forward into a sprinting stride. Glastrier taking heed of the silent message, running with a wide gait to push ahead, approaching the second obstacle before its counterpart with a determined, cold exhale through its nostrils. [break][break]

What’s your excuse, slowpoke?” Angelo calls as he passes, peering over his shoulder with frigid wind in his hair and a polarising heat in his roguish grin. Fanning the flames.

Strong thighs tighten their hold on the Glastrier, pressing themselves against the horse's flanks as if encouraging the gathering frost to bite at her chilled skin. Captain Dross gives no sign of discomfort, either unaware or uncaring of the icicles that have started to gather in her mass of blond curls, clinking together as it is tossed about in the wind. Teeth flash out from behind cold-kissed lips at the sight of blue eyes and another horse catching up to her own, moving perilously close - so much so that Skyler is sure that if she reached out, she'd be able to touch soft brown strands with her fingers.

"Maybe you should take another look, Angel?" Silver eyes flash with challenge. "I don't think you've appreciated the view quite enough." 

The temptation to kick Angelo lingers at the surface of her thoughts, though it is offset by the desire to pin him to the wall and steal a few kisses for her own. To chase the cold away in the lazy trailing of her lips up the curve of his neck, pinching his skin between her teeth, swallowing his breath with hungry devotion.

After she wins the race, of course.

Beneath her, Glastrier protests at the teeth that almost nip it in the butt, the sudden movement of its icy mane nearly poking one of Skyler's eyes out. "What th- fuck!" The distraction proves enough to give Angelo the advantage, jumping over the next obstacle a scant second before Skyler does. 

When Glastrier's hooves come into contact with the icy ground, it nearly jolts the captain out of her seat, white-knuckled fingers keeping a stubborn grasp on the horse's reigns. Skyler doesn't dare slow down, not when she can see Angelo pulling ahead. Not even when the earth drops down into an abyss in front of them, an icy mist flowing up from the depths - heralding danger.

"See you on the other side, Angel." Skyler looks briefly over her shoulder, the insolent curve of her mouth all but taunting him. Knowing he'll follow.

The idea of slowing down and finding another path doesn't even come to her.

Heart thundering in her ears with a sudden spike of adrenaline, Skyler Dross turns to face the incoming danger head on, pulling ahead with reckless abandon, her untamed length of hair waving about like a flag of war.

And with a last push of ice encrusted hooves, they're both flying over the abyss.

He does take another look. Not like he needs the invitation. [break][break]

An indulgent glance is cast over his shoulder, stubbornly maintaining his sights on her even as the Glastrier surges beneath him with heavy, body lurching strides. From his cold lips, a shaky plume of mist furls; Angelo exhaling a breath of exhilaration and quiet, drunken laughter at the sight that surges closer. [break][break]

Skyler Dross is on the warpath. [break][break]

With her golden curls icy and windswept like a hoisted flag in a storm, exposed teeth insatiable for victory, she near looks the part of a Viking warrior; stalking towards him with threatening intent to plunder his lead. Greedy, unrelenting and seducing him with the promise of a challenge… [break][break]

Yet, for him, her eyes are the most dangerous feature – the prized axe. [break][break]

And their sharp, alluring edges have already been driven right into his chest, a hairsbreadth from striking him down. [break][break]

He turns his attention back to the race with a fierceness to his grip, lest he slip off the lumbering Glastrier’s back or have Skyler’s damnable smile deal the final blow on his stumbling heart. Somehow the latter feels more perilous… [break][break]

Thankfully, it’s the captain herself that drags Angelo’s focus back to what presides in importance down in the Shoal Caves. Winning this carrot saga, once and for all. [break][break]

Although she jumps first, he’s but an inch behind. His Glastrier doesn’t hesitate to take the jump and neither does he. Even though it doesn’t live up to flying through the clouds – this is a far more awkward and uncomfortable experience – Angelo momentarily gives himself to the freefall when ice vanishes beneath hooves. Trusting the strange creature to carry them the whole way over the chasm. [break][break]

Glastrier seems to appreciate this, for when it lands, its competitive nature increases tenfold. Not missing a beat as it lurches past Skyler with a feisty whinny and explosion of cold mist from its nose, right at them. [break][break]

Turns out it is an asshole. And Angelo’s grin isn’t any less modest as they clear the final hurdle first, adrenaline playing a crescendo through his pulse when he shoots a look at his loser lover. [break][break]

Okay. Now this is a view I can appreciate.” [break][break]

Heavy hooves of ice stomp against the ground as the Glastrier slows, before turning to bump its flank against the other, bringing Angelo close enough for him to risk stretching over the narrow space between them. Uncaring for the drop should the creatures beneath them opt to move. [break][break]

Frozen fingertips dig into warm flesh at the back of Skyler’s neck, entangling in a wild, golden mane adorned with jewels of ice. Blue eyes flashing with the intention of melting more than the frost on her skin, before it’s hidden behind their close proximity…[break][break]

Come on then,” he breathes against her lips, tension suspended on a fragile string as Angelo withholds a kiss from her; a slow curl of sharp white, revealed like bait on a fishing line. “I'm waiting. How're you going to argue that you actually won, this time?” [break][break]

His smirk bets that Skyler can’t… Only to swallow whatever claim or rebuttal she may have tried to utter beneath a warming, breath stealing kiss.

SHOAL CAVE


TAMING THE HORSE



THE CAVE ECHOES WITH THE CLOPPING OF HOOVES. the horses continue their jaunt around the course. you have not fallen off your horse, nor have you succumbed to the pain of holding their reins. however, the strap ceases to gnaw at your skin with biting cold. even the equine pokemon's body becomes more comfortable to ride. there is no more pain now. just unity.


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥


they finally halt their romp. their whinny declares their approval. finally, after nearly a week of animal handling, these horses are now yours.

CONGRATULATIONS!


YOU TAMED THE HORSES!


THE GLASTRIER are now able to be caught with your pokeballs. you may decide their movesets like a gachapon pokemon (e.g. 6 learnset moves) and add them to your PCs.

feel free to post once more or post in MODERATION REQUESTS for archival.
