”it’s already working out if you’re willing to talk after.” elijah chews through his words. he eyes adrian ominously before his gaze finds his pokemon. the breeze catches the cryogonal’s icy presence occasionally, tickling the skin with a cool breath.

the cryogonal fights through the barrage, and as it does so, elijah’s galarian slowking raises its arms. from its hands it begins to channel psychic energies. purplish designs form at the end of its fingertips. suddenly, an EERIE SPELL is conjured and delivered toward the cryogonal with a resounding bang.

”don’t stop. don’t let it come close.”

words he has oft repeated to himself in quiet solemn ways.

"no, i fucking hate it." elijah's expression is obstinate. his straight-faced visage may settle on bitterness and distaste at neutral— but it is that same neutrality that makes it difficult to discern sarcasm from honesty. "and here i am."

the slowking indeed hobbles. like an old mage scaling their enchanted tower of stone, it gallops awkwardly around their arena.

"POWER GEM as you move!" elijah barks.

again, floating stones rise from behind its shell. they fire away. glowing minior chasing a planet of ice.

the NIGHT SLASH strikes across the mage. a devastating blow so artful in the way it rotates its snowflake shape. black ice is met with a WATER PULSE. an attack meant to push the cryogonal back rather than to harm.

splashes of water buffet against the cryogonal should it be struck, but the galarian slowking does not stay in one place. on its stubby legs, it strafes away.

"you battle often?" elijah asks awkwardly.

"and they're not for free." elijah tacks on like a crooked nail, or a wilted stem. the lives of his flowers are transient— but it is their brevity of life that gives them value. "DISABLE."

a stare locks onto the cryogonal's icy countenance. the gem glows an ominous green once more to DISABLE THE RECOVER.

the apothecary grumbles after remembering a custom forgotten. "i'm elijah."

"oh yeah?"

a FREEZE-DRY spreads onto the galarian slowking. on its shell and collar, an icy crust begins to crawl. the peculiar pokemon ahead of him is one elijah has never seen before.

but he remains calm. this isn't a high stakes match. elijah is no battler, after all.

"i'll hold you to it." elijah says. "POWER GEM."

his galarian slowking's green gem glows. stones materialize around its head as they arc toward the cryogonal like homing missiles.

"sheesh. won't even spare the time to get to know me." he speaks as dry as an autumn leaf. one that lacks the leaf blade. only midrib, vein and venule.

a CONFUSE RAY swirls toward the slowking. though it lacks grace in its footwork, when it stands, the stance is one of absolute defiance. from underneath the flap of its dark muffler, a short arm raises to summon a SAFEGUARD.

"i sell plants. want one?" elijah says. "or maybe you know someone who's dead or about to die? i have flowers for that."

"no." elijah snorts, one nostril growing large as the hot summer air is taken in. he spits a loogie out on the nearby sand before crossing his arms over his broad chest. "i don't know why i'm doing this, but i figured it might make my business look good."

he squints.

"have we met?"

on the field, elijah's pokemon emerges. a galarian slowking readjusts its black collar.

 "i've got no qualms." elijah rises too, taking another hearty mouthful from his glass.

inwardly, he thanks sam for the change of place. the warm prickles of some unidentified anxiety roll across his shoulders. the more rowdy the bar gets, the more restless elijah becomes.

"but a romantic walk down the beach?" elijah snorts. "is this a date?"

he is careful not to accidentally kick sam's absol in his departure. pulling bills from his pockets, he lays pokedollars on the bar counter.

"i got us covered. lead the way."

 the embarrassment leo reveals endears him to elijah some— but the man can't betray his obstinate nature. and so, he scowls. brows hook into each other. a frown communicates his displeasure— but within that claustrophobic moment of concentration, elijah does not hear the pitter-patter of yamper paws.

yams blindly dashes into the soft curve behind elijah's knees. the impact is accompanied by excited sparks and the electricity of surprise. as elijah buckles, his hands lunge by instinct, seeking support or anything to hold on to.

but he can only find himself grabbing on to leo as he falls. they land with a hard clunk with elijah smothering the other in cliched fashion.

"hey! you stupid yamper!" elijah barks at yams. grumbling, he swings his head back to leo. "you okay?'

 "glooms are high maintenance." elijah says. "or they can be."

a foul smell crosses toward them like a breeze encrusted with piss-rusted razor blades. the apothecary barely budges, accustomed to the smell.

"kari, BLOCK." his tangrowth dances forth, using the LIGHT SCREEN to its advantage.

vines wrap around to hold the GLOOM in place in the air. it writhes, dancing as A PETAL DANCE strikes against the screen set by giona's espurr.

another vine extends out from the tangrowth's mop of a body. a loud crack and a POWER WHIP strikes the smelly pokemon to the earth.

"let's move in." elijah says. "you okay with the smell?"

posting what i said in gen chat so i remember / keep track!!

we can do for the swarm as a mission.

+ his family though would not have survived the years of change, and now he's doing his best to keep old practices alive
so he might have some resentment or jealousy toward her because the beauforts did just fine!

+ as they clear some infested place area, elijah would maybe even harvest some of the plants or bug pokemon that are there

+ during that time we can feel out their dynamic

we can say it's been a long time since they've last seen each other though! maybe some months or so. :)

 elijah's eyes linger on giona's fingers far too long to be polite. though the act is far from pyromania, the apothecary wonders whether the man is butterfingered enough for frying.

"i'm sorry about that." the green-haired man offers his condolences. it's dry enough to waver between the crust of sincerity and sarcasm.

his tangrowth points at the gloom. its foul smell catches on slightest curves of wind. like a ghostly child, the gloom cries into the void.

"this gloom yours?" elijah says.

within the cave, the gloom's voice echoes and merges with another.

 as if the hose was his anime weight, elijah breaks into a liberating sprint. although he is not the fastest man in hoenn, it is the sheer ferocity of his mad dash that is impressive. his form is aggressive. his glare? aerodynamic.

"get back here you fuckin' brat!" elijah barks alongside the yamper.

galvanized by such sparkling support, elijah makes incredible ground. and as he encroaches upon leo's heels, he reaches out—

and grabs the collar of the other's shirt to haul back to hell.

 the drinks arrive. cold, numbing. undoubtedly like the corpses hauled up that cursed mountain.

"shit. i never had a good relationship with my mom.'"

elijah raises his glass close to his lips. close enough to tip toward his mouth for a drink, vaguely far enough for it to become a toast.

"so, fuck moms." elijah drinks. "good to get away. usually, when people leave the roost they go wild for awhile. not open up a fucking cemetery."

as the absol rests, he scries sam for restlessness within the clamor of this slateport izakaya.
