like a wingull, priam picks at the garbage littered across the beach. unfortunately, there's nothing seemingly useful within the wreckage. as soon as marcel breaks the silence, priam lifts his head up and rushes to where marcel was.

"think of it this way," he mentions as his pace eventually slows down as he approaches, "at least i get to show off!"

he brings out a pokeball and shows it to marcel. the pokeball's appearance wasn't anything spectacular, aside from the fact that priam hasn't done anything to damage it yet such as nicks or scratch marks or stickers.

"take a guess what's in it!" he prods.

"what?" priam scoffs. "no!"

the pokeball is thrown up in the air, revealing its contents to marcel instead of letting him play the guessing game longer. he feels like he was going to get judged since he did indeed was thinking of using a forretress for the job instead.

from the pokeball comes an urshifu, one that he had earned with marcel back at the tower. it takes the form of the one they defeated at the topmost floor, but the wider eyes of priam's indicate that it was much younger than the one they fought.

"tada! it's a big boy now!" priam leans back and points his arms at the urshifu. "whatcha call these 'mons again?" he asks.

he wouldn't want to use codenames for pokemon like dominic sinclair. he already calls gardevoirs 'green bitches' and klefkis 'key boys'. he doesn't want to call his own pokemon 'headband beast' or something like that.

"you know what else i got?"

priam stuffs his hand in his pocket and brings out a mega stone that shines in a grayish hue. the more he stares at it, the more he wants to get more of it. mega stones were rare though, and he was sure his espeon can't use them either so it's pointless having more.

"hehe! i didn't even know they can mega evolve. did you?" he tosses the precious stone in the air and catches it with his hand midair. "i think he can handle it!"

he scratches his head as he opens his palm, staring at the stone itself absently. while he knows its function, priam doesn't know the instructions on how they get used. maybe he should've asked Lucas Lane since he's one of the main people that researched this.

"i just need to figure out how to use this..." he grumbles.

[break][break]he takes out his phone and begins typing. a few moments later he has the information he's looking for--turns out priam's right. he examines the picture of a mega-evolved urshifu for some time. "you have your key stone, right?" the younger rocket could be forgetful at times. "it should just...you know." he isn't quite sure how to explain it.

"you know when he mentioned his other urshifu's busy with its babies and we just knocked out his other one? that's the opening! just a little bit of zoroark and... you know, i shouldn't be sharing my trade secrets! but yeah, i got it the same way as that shadow alakazam."

priam does a little trick where he drops the mega stone in free fall and swipes both of his hand at the same time to confuse the audience as to which hand has it, except he fumbles around, juggling it in the air for a second, and then catching it obviously with his dominant hand.

previously under the care of a gym leader from before, arian coin, priam managed to successfully snag the shadow pokemon after a gym challenge. it happened before marcel was reinstated within the ranks of rocket though, so he wasn't sure if he knew.

as marcel mentions the keystone, there's a moment of confusion before priam remembers that he has one. "oh, this?" he pulls one out of a different pocket. "i should get this embedded to a ring or something. where do you keep yours?" he asks.

as he brings the keystone up, the urshifu changes its form to something more... intimidating. marcel can catch priam staring at it, muttering a single word as he's overcome with awe.

"woah."

[attr="class","marcelThread"]despite the frown that has settled on his features, marcel is--very reluctantly--impressed. he watches priam fumble with the mega stone some more before speaking, "you better not be stealing any of my shit." he's half joking.
[break][break]
when priam flashes his keystone, marcel reaches into his collar for his own. he keeps his keystone on a chain around his neck, easily hidden under his shirt, without the risk of dropping it in a more fast-paced scenario. marcel shakes the chain a couple times before tucking it back into his shirt; as he does so, the urshifu begins to transform.
[break][break]
priam's sentiments are echoed, but marcel keeps his thoughts to himself. instead, he begins to circle the mega-evolved urshifu, examining it. "what do you know..." he mumbles, mostly to himself.
[break][break]he looks back at the beached wailord. "looks like we'll manage just fine."

"i don't even like books," priam whines, "unless you mean pokemon, then i already told you i can't be caught having the same style as you!"

priam quickly turns to the wailor, patting the urshifu to get it ready. with its size, priam can't even believe that i was still a cub. maybe he shouldn't have rushed trying to evolve it so it can remain cute, but he can't help himself after seeing the one at the tower.

"you just need to push that big boy to the water." he turns his gaze to his pokemon to make sure it doesn't get any childish distraction from the surroundings. "do that punch thing! you can play in the sands later."

it positions itself before the wailord, and attempts to blow it with a wicked strike. the shock wave from the impact blows a gust of wind to their direction, but as the pokemon's youth dictates, it still needs a little more help to get it back.

the push it managed to get was already surprising, however.

"with tlc of course!" priam answers with pride. the grin turns to a frown as he raises his brow. "you better not tell dom though! he's gonna make fun of me for it."

he was always told not to get too attached with his pokemon, but the circumstance of how he got the kubfu had perhaps warped his opinion on the pokemon. he suggests himself that it earns the favoritism because of how powerful its evolved form is.

priam's expression doesn't last as it mellows out before turning back to an expectant smile.

"i'll help you train up yours if ya want! then we can both have them, yeah?"

"insensitive? rude? disrespectful?" there's a smile on priam's face as he enumerates words that can be used to follow up marcel's sentence.

for a moment, he forgets why they're talking about him and priam simply enjoyed what the topic entailed. it wasn't like no one would deny that he carries those traits.

the answer to his invitation comes. priam is hit with surprise and excitement when it comes.

"oh, shit! really?" he had honestly expected some excuse, although it's not like marcel would escape his insistence should he deny it. "we can do it in your bookstore so you don't even have to leave your day job! no one goes to buy books anyways, i think."

the urshifu reverts back to its previous form as it is forgotten by its trainer in the background.
