MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Oct 20, 2019 20:55:39 GMT

The sun set warmly over the horizon, an orange sea forming in the foreground as the gleaming giant slowly set behind. It was a calm evening, unforeign as it had been witnessed commonly by Aeson himself, the only difference this time being the companion he had brought along with him; a competitor with which he had run into a multitude of times, a man by the name of Izaak.

Aeson’s first instinct when it came to the man was traditionally challenging him, a declaration that would always end with him losing in the end; his attempt and failure to change the outcome just as fruitless as it has always been.

It had become routine for the two of them whenever they had run into one another. They’d lock eyes, battle, then find somewhere nearby to sit and chat with one another. Nothing had changed.

“I don’t understand how you can always get the 1-up on me. My team always plays perfectly but when it comes down to it, you always finish first. It’s honestly a little aggravating at times.”

A sigh escaped, heated breath meeting the air, releasing stress as it dissipated into the tropical climate.

“Whatever. Next time I’ll be sure to properly stomp you. For now lets just, catch up. What have you been up to since we split? Have you beaten any gyms? Won any contest? Cleaned any beaches?”

Recently Izaak hadn't really been keeping up on training his pokemon, well not as much as he used to at least. Not that he was completely out of practice the young man had just started focusing a tad bit less on the training and more on working an actual job. He had recently started working some shifts behind the counter at a pokemart in Rustboro city.[break][break]

Despite the recent minor shift in his lifestyle he still somehow managed to come out on top in a battle against his long time rival and friend Aeson. The two had already had numerous pokemon battle over the last few years and against all odds the water specialist managed to win every battle including the previous one.[break][break]

At the moment Izaak sat on the shore next to his friend with his Corsola playing around in the sand in front of him, the spiky pink pokemon being the sole survivor of todays battle. [break][break]

"Honestly I don't know how I keep managing to win. I'm kind of surprised you haven't just got a grass type yet to deal with my team. That'd probably be too easy for you huh?" As he sat there talking the man's attention was mostly drawn to the Corsola playing around.[break][break]

"Uhh..really I haven't been doing much lately, got a job at a pokemart in town and just kinda send most of the money I get from it back home to my mom to help her out a little. I'm not making a lot from it but hey even a bit helps." As he talked Izaak's eyes drifted down towards the ground for a few moments, before shaking his head slightly. "What've you been up to though? Anything exciting?"[break][break]

Get a grass type? Where was the challenge in choosing type advantages against him when he did not have them to begin with. If he was going to win it was going to be with the pokemon he had lost to him with. And it seemed Izaak knew that well enough not to divulge into it more than surface level, a topic easily brush off to move onto the next.

The talk of work was something that intrigued Aeson a fair bit, the young man himself never having worked a day in his life. But the thought would only linger for a moment, before his comrade reflected the question previously asked back towards him.

“I’ve been training, and expanding my knowledge on different pokemon while doing so.”

His eyes moved towards the expanse before them as he rubbed a pokeball idly.

“I want to take on the league as soon as possible but I want to be ready to do so before I start. I’m sure we’re ready physically, but I just can’t bring myself to take the first step.”

Thoughts of failure would often cloud his mind when it set onto the league, challenges not yet faced seeming much more daunting when presented with such esteem.

“Honestly, whenever I think on it, I wonder why I even want to do it in the first place… Why do you do it, Izaak? Why do you go on as you do?”

He turned to his friend, a placid expression on his face as he looked into the mans eyes.

Reaching a hand up to scratch at the back of his head Izaak continued to watch his corsola play around in the sand, the spiky pokemon currently trying to scoop out a hole with one of its spikes. He wondered what the pokemon was going to do once the hole was finished. The other man's mention of expanding his knowledge on different pokemon brought the thought of getting some different pokemon of his own into Izaak's head. [break][break]

Of course it made sense to get something besides water types, it was kind of unrealistic to think he could take on every gym and the league with just water type. But these kinds of doubts weren't really anything new to him, in a way though they were the main drive for him sticking to only water type pokemon. Besides them being his favorite type the desire to see if he actually could get anywhere with only them pushed him on.[break][break]

"I wanna take on the league eventually too but I don't think im anywhere near ready yet, I mean Mareanie isn't even evolved yet. But for why i keep going on..I just kind of want to see how far I get you know? There aren't many people that get places with just one type of pokemon besides gym leaders and maybe the elite four?"[break][break]

He wasn't really sure about that last part. "Theres probably good reasons for why most people have more then one type, but its kind of fun just focusing on the one type. Plus I don't think I'm really doing that bad on this."[break][break]

“You beat me, and my team is pretty powerful, so you’re doing something right.”

He raised a leg, resting his arm onto the sloped knee as he looked further outward, continuing on after adjusting himself.

“Going on just to see how far you can go though huh? Sounds a bit uninspired if you ask me.”

It was such a simple reason, yet one he could not make sense of, the taste of victory always leading Aeson ever forward in his achievements. But to why or who he achieved those victories was another question entirely. Self-satisfaction? Praise from his parents? A sense of fulfillment? Not even he could answer this.

But there was no use pushing his own mental shortcomings onto another, Aeson choosing to bite his tongue instead of furthering on with his worries. Izaak had his own problems to deal with.

“We should train together sometime, I’d love to see what you and yours do to stay battle ready.”

His friend wasn't wrong at all about his reason for going on being a bit uninspired, it did sound pretty uninspired with the way he explained it but it was the best explanation that came into his head at the moment. Sure if he thought about it more he might be able to elaborate on things but he was kind of on the spot and didn't want to keep his friend waiting.[break][break]

Maybe later once he actually had an answer prepped he could try to bring this back up one day to not sound so weird. "Yeah I guess I gotta be doing something right then." [break][break]

As he finished speaking the young man's Corsola also finished its task, having dug itself a little hole that the pokemon settled into, staring back at the two trainers as it lazily laid in the hole. With a slight chuckle at the pokemons antics Izaak turned his attention back to his friend yet again. "We could totally train together sometime, it sounds like it could be fun. Just let me know next time your in town and free." [break][break]

Shifting around in his spot Izaak continued. "I mean I live over in Rustboro now cause of the job and stuff so im here literally all the time unless I wanna go out searching for some new pokemon. I need to get around to doing that soon again actually."

“Will do.”

He says with a slight smile, looking over to Izaak.

“Maybe we could look for new pokemon together while we’re at it. Make a day out of it, y’know?”

The happiness he felt was genuine, content to plan with the man he had come to trust as much as he did, with someone he considered as a true friend.

“I’ll be sure to visit more while you’re still here. Maybe after I beat the gym you and I can catch up like this again.”

His eyes stayed upon his friend for a little longer, examining him quietly.

In all honesty the thought of hanging out with his friend and just talking and trying to catch pokemon seem like a really really fun way to spend his time. Trying his best to not seem as excited as he was but still interested in going he blurted out a quick "Yeah that sounds fun, lets do it. We could probably find a place that has stuff that interest both of us." [break][break]

With him only really catching water pokemon his choices for where to search for pokemon was kind of limited. That didn't entirely rule out just going somewhere his friend wanted to and just battling some of the pokemon around though. Just because he wouldn't catch anything didn't mean he couldn't get some more battling practice in.[break][break]

Still staring out at the water ahead of them the white haired boy nodded his head a bit, a hand going down to move some of the sand in front of him around idly. "Catching up again sounds good too, I'll probably be around for awhile so you got plenty of time to get some more training in before the gym. I think I wanna catch at least something else before I try to take on the gym myself though."[break][break]
