aaron faust's text that he was coming by was a surprise, but not too great of one. He'd mentioned in passing he was going to be with Keldeo today—the colt needed a great deal of support socially, and emotionally, from others.

Admittedly, so too did Greyson right now.

Reaching out a hand, sitting cross-legged on the floor as he was, Greyson stroked the horse's flame colored mane as he hums to himself. He would enjoy this peace while it lasted.

Aaron would no doubt fuck things up.

aaron arrives at the training room at the arranged time, uncharacteristically on time. he enters, but his hand lingers on the door a beat too long, holding it open for CIAN MAHER to slither in. the pair of them stand shoulder-to-shoulder in front of Greyson Connors and keldeo, looking like two cousins trying to convince their family to let them have a sleepover. [break][break]"yo." [break][break] he's not sure what happened between the two of them to make GAC fall apart, but he's tired of running duos with one guy or the other — playing with a random kneecaps their whole competitive queue grind. [break][break]"cian told me he loves my little pony so i brought him along," he thumbs toward the twilight sparkle fan in question. "hope that's good with you, bro."[break][break]but greyson probably isn't good with it, so aaron weaponizes his attention deficit disorder. he points at the legendary pokemon, brow raised.[break][break]"what'd you do to its horn?"

"yo."[break][break]

the pair of them are in sync even outside of the games they play, it seems, as they stand next to each other before the elite four and keldeo. they might as well be twiddling their thumbs with the way they've approached this.[break][break]

but CIAN MAHER is rustboro's gym leader. he is champion-ranked. his past is not a smear in his legacy, it is just another block that makes up the foundation of the person he is today and the person he will become.[break][break]

ignoring whatever greyson might have to say, cian steps forward and squats next to keldeo before greeting it with a smile.[break][break]

"hello mister keldeo. i'm cian, and that's aaron. i'm not sure if greyson's told you, but we'll be helping you train today."[break][break]

his gaze shifts to greyson briefly.[break][break]

Cian's presence is an unwelcomed surprise, one he promises Aaron will personally regret. He still had to face his Chamber to make Champion, after all.

"I don't know," he says to Aaron's question, eyes watching the interaction between Cian and Keldeo, a mask of neutrality painted on. He doesn't bother interrupting the man and Mythical, except to add one piece:

"We're not a team."

aaron can tell Greyson Connors is pissed. his face doesn't betray his feelings, but the temperature of the room seems to drop ten degrees once he notices CIAN MAHER has slipped in after aaron. this is just like when he introduced pikachu to pikatwo — a little hostility between rat-like beings is always to be expected.[break][break]"we're gac? like, gac?" he adds a phlegmy sound in the back of his throat as he reiterates their team name. "what are we, dude? suckin' dick?"[break][break]it has yet to occur to him that GAC is their initials put together. [break][break]"we're a team," he says, dismissing Greyson Connors's rejection. "but i dunno about that name, bro."

it doesn't take much for cian to tell Greyson Connors is pissed either. for better or worse, the elite four wears his heart on his sleeve. it was what cian once appreciated about him but now he can't help but feel differently, having been shit on one too many times.[break][break]

he clicks his tongue, adding to aaron faust's statement.[break][break]

"we're a team, but there are no better alternatives to the name. it's either gac or cag, both sound like gag, but i don't think greyson would appreciate having my name up first with cag."[break][break]

moving on, he looks back at keldeo.[break][break]

"seems like we all have some steam to let off. wanna battle us, mister keldeo?"

Aruging against these two was a fruitless endeavor. The only thing he would get in the end is a massive headache.

"Three vs one seems a bit skewed." He looks to Aaron, then to Cian. "Aaron, you'll command Keldeo and face Cian and myself."

Out of the three of them Aaron needed to prove his worth the most. At least in battle.

"yeaaah, you right, he wouldn't."[break][break]he takes furtive glances at Greyson Connors, making sure there's still no steam coming out of his ears. CIAN MAHER keeps to keldeo — a much safer alternative to trying to engage with their moody elite four teammate. [break][break]"me?"[break][break] aaron blinks, then looks at keldeo. he thumbs towards the legendary pokemon. [break][break] "and MLP?"[break][break]the hornless pokemon narrows its eyes at him. he narrows his eyes back. it should really be cian or Remiel Calcifet, on account of their love of horses, but he resigns himself to horsing around with a sigh and a wave of his hand. [break][break]"fine, fine. get out your pokemon, then. or are you guys going to wrestle this guy together?"

"really?"[break][break]

but after taking a second to think about it, he realizes that this is the best outcome possible. this may be the only way for Greyson Connors to get over whatever it is he has against cian. if the cost of it is a headache, then so be it.[break][break]

fishing for a pokeball, cian decides on his thwackey, assuming the offensive role which then delegates his partner into the back.[break][break]

as GRASSY SURGE activates, sprouting flora beneath them, cian turns and asks:[break][break]

The first answer on his tongue was a simple no, but the spite he held for the other man didn't have room here.

"Sure. But—" He lowers his voice just enough for Cian to hear. "—Go easy. We're here to build its confidence, not prove a point."

To prove his own, he releases a Meganium, the sauropod shaking its massive plant leaves.

"what the." [break][break]he looks at keldeo through the corner of his eye, then blinks at the two pokemon CIAN MAHER and Greyson Connors call out. blue-tailed horse (water, obviously) versus two grass-types. beneath his feet, a carpet of grass unfurls with the grassy terrain that appears. [break][break]"you guys are fucked up."[break][break]aaron backs up to keep himself out of the way of any rogue pokemon attacks. it occurs to him, mid-step, that he has no idea what keldeo can even do or what attacks he can command it to try — but it's too late for him to say anything so he commits to the bit. he's nothing if not flexible to bullshitting the circumstances. [break][break]"show them your pony power!!!"[break][break]the sword of justice doesn't even flick an ear in his direction. instead, it sets up a swords dance, seemingly ignoring him.

a nod is the only response he gives Greyson Connors. he agrees; they're here to boost keldeo's confidence, not knock it back down even if it's where it might belong. that's the whole arc of this sword of justice, isn't it? to always lose.[break][break]

"make it stop doing that!"[break][break]

unhinging its jaw, thwackey flicks its tongue out in a TAUNTING gesture before rushing forward, its branch raised and prime for bonking.

The type advantages weren't lost on him, but Greyson had no intention of taking advantage of it.

He wanted to see what Keldeo could do.

A LIGHT SCREEN erupts between the trio, preparation necessary in the face of a Mythical Pokemon--even if it suffered from confidence issues.

between the taunt and the light screen wall Greyson Connors 's meganium bolsters, aaron can tell these two clowns are scared of him and his hornless partner. aaron is horn-y enough for the both of them, so keldeo is basically at full power with him at its side. [break][break]"you got em nervous," he tells keldeo. "now fuck em up!"[break][break]the colt pokemon falls for the taunt from CIAN MAHER 's thwackey. as the grass-type races forward, keldeo charges to meet it with a close combat.
