dahlia goode and Lucas Lane
Hi Dahlia-chan would you like to go on a date with me? We can bake hehe

dahlia goode & Thomas Benoit

Depending on how the rescue mission ends, and the ramifications of the events that take place during the mission, Thomas will personally come to visit the Commissioner with the finest bottle of red wine he could import from Kalos. If she would have him, despite what went on, and what might go on, she'd find a strong, loyal ally in Thomas, perhaps even a friend, should things go well enough between them.

noah faber & Thomas Benoit

Both of them having been trained under the same sensei around the same timeframe, the two of them could be friendly rivals of sorts, highly competitive and eager to spar, both with fists and banter. But at the end of the day, both of them could come together during missions, having one another's backs as they kick Rocket ass.

Thomas Benoit + dahlia goode —
since the mission was completed, we can finally have dahlia and thomas meet for a chat! i'll eventually make a post in the mission with dahlia as a note. however, after, i do see her inviting thomas (and anyone else) to her estate in evergrande city. i can see dahlia wanting to forge a political alliance with him too, ohoho... we can start a social thread and see how it runs from there, if you'd like?!

persephone amavi + elijah gardner —
it could be an interesting plot hook— which can lead to helping her achieve some "save the world" antics somehow? then again, there's an event coming up... ahem. elijah will know who she is (head scientist). i can see him asking perse to see if she can help push the apothecary's agenda due to her position as head scientist. there could be a point of tension there. hmm. i'll get back to you with something more substantial too, so don't worry! my brain will be COOKIN.

Stormy Silph + dahlia goode —
we can do a past thread together, if you'd like! i think it would be important to examine their relationship with fernando's influence, because with her recent promotion to gym leader, dahlia's becoming a little suspicious of things. however, we can also have a thread of the two together post-mission, and dahlia can maybe do a friendly inspection of her gym/performance.

in any case, for a past thread, we could have a social thread based around the political aspect of their relationship... or perhaps, we can explore the two as pokemon trainers? then again, dahlia's not much of a battler; instead, she has pokemon for therapeutic purposes. omg, maybe we can have dahlia treat her to some nice massage or something?! ♥ ♥

niju, i'll get to your replies soon too! ♥

landon gray + noah faber —
omggg, yes. noah can help this poor guy out. ♥ we could even approach this from the angle of noah having known landon previous in kanto... but without the knowledge of his status/whereabouts. so it's a reunion of "oh my gosh, you're alive?!"

however, starting with a totally blank slate works wonderfully too. noah can toughen him up— maybe not just pokemon-wise, but physically too. in either case, they can meet after noah orders something from a different region? probably like athletic wrappings or something silly like that, hahaha. or maybe something more sensitive and personal to noah that he keeps secret. :x :x :x


i love him so much and i can't wait to thread!!

landon gray + elijah gardner —
yes, yes, yes, yes to this. it's going to be a bit silly since elijah's shipping address changes all the time because of his vagabond nature. it's going to be comical— and extreme coincidence (that we can totally emphasize and lean into) that landon is elijah's persistent errand boy for his herbal ingredients and tools, bahaha.

there may some great tension between landon and elijah eventually? especially if landon realizes elijah is a part of rocket, but since elijah is a little more critical of team rocket's mode of operation, maybe landon is someone he can potentially confide in...

thanks for plotting with me i am so blessed :pepehands:
