Colourful dots mark a calendar on his phone’s screen, signifying all sorts of different appointments and meetings already scheduled for the coming October. He could get a headache just by looking at it.
[break][break]
A yawn is covered with his hand and he turns away, his gaze falling on a nearby Espeon that drinks water from a stream, as if unbothered by their presence.
[break][break]
A picture is taken of it.
[break][break]
And then? Then he simply lets it be.

How dare u make me SKIP a cutie like this ;-;[break]
PSYCHIC ONLY PLS ♡

There’s a few minutes of quiet; a few minutes during which nothing happens, and then, out of the blue, as if defying all common sense and survival instinct, an Elgyem approaches Oreius.
[break][break]
The bear pauses his fluid motions, looking at the Psychic type, and from a distance, Mars watches, wondering if he’ll attack unprompted. An Imprison seems to be used to taunt the Urshifu, and in response, SURGING STRIKES send the Elgyem flying back.
[break][break]
Sounds about right.
[break][break]
”You can play with it if you want, but don’t get too distracted.”
[break][break]
Is “play” even the right word?
[break][break]
Probably not.

No.
[break][break]
Another week. Another failure. Another waste of his precious time.
[break][break]
The setting sun disappears behind the mountain’s summit, and it’s for a short moment that Mars watches it before turning his attention back to the Urshifu.
[break][break]
”Let’s get out of here, Oreius. There’s no point in staying when it’s dark.”
[break][break]
And with those words, Oreius is returned to his pokéball, and whatever else may be lurking nearby is ignored.
[break][break]
It’s time to go home.

SKIP :C[break]
