MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Jul 14, 2020 9:51:30 GMT

[attr="class","devonpost"]his eyes fall back on his pokemon as another WATER PULSE hits the charmeleon. even alexander is surprised lohi's still standing. "not all of them. but i like to believe some do. the charmeleon has no reason to care for me yet but with time, he just might."

the charmeleon falls to a knee and a HEAL PULSE stops him from fainting. he's panting then, most likely unable to continue. alexander's eyes drift to the marshtomp. "does blue care for you?"

[attr="class","ithread"]it's not a straight yes, and it's for that reason iris considers what he has to say--only for a moment. it's an answer that makes pokemon seem, in some parts, and some way, inexplicably human. here, she decides, is where his answer falls short.
[break][break]
she entertains the question, however. "it seems like it," she admits, "but that's how they train starter pokemon, isn't it?" 'beginner-friendly', executing trained behaviour for the sake of the children they're given to. conditioned.

[attr="class","devonpost"]"yes. but they don't always do. i find the ones that don't form a bond with their trainers to be the weaker ones." he sighs then, looking away for a moment. "but i'm sure blue cares for you."

lohi slumps to the ground, exhausted. alexander steps forward and kneels down to care for the fire-type. another HEAL PULSE hits him but it does little at this point. alexander peers back at iris. "our time is almost up."

[attr="class","ithread"]alex's comment is met with an insincere (though not entirely unbelievable) nod. her attention lingers briefly on blue, before deciding she'd find nothing that would bring her closer to an answer.
[break][break]
she stands when he speaks again. "thank you, mister stone." she watches the way he handles the charmleon, and can't help but ask: "do you normally train your pokemon like this?" his obvious care sways her towards a no.

[attr="class","devonpost"]alexander raises an eyebrow. "like this?" he isn't sure if she's referring to the way he's tending to the charmeleon, or the conditioning from earlier.

"most of my pokemon are conditioned. but if you're asking if i care for all of them," he looks back down at lohi before recalling the fire-type. "i do." to some extent—he keeps this to himself.

"i'd like you on a mission with me soon."

[attr="class","ithread"]a mission. "a test?" crunch time. "already?" against the beginnings of panic, her voice borders monotonous, curiosity bleeding through. old habits kicking in.
[break][break]
it does not take long for iris to overcome her surprise. she corrects herself: "i mean, of course."

[attr="class","devonpost"]mission may have been the wrong word to use. "well, more so security. sootopolis is expecting a shipment from devon soon. there has been a recent surge of pirate activity, so i simply wanted to make sure the shipment arrives safely." his phone buzzes in his pocket again, telling him their time is almost up.

"the rangers have already approved your involvment, so i'll see you next tuesday. oh—" he pauses, turning to look at her. "you can swim, right?"
