Cogimo, for sure, was impressed but not surprised. With how easily the man could pull out facts about pokemon, of course, he had ten times more education on hand than the other boy. Though, the younger one would blame no other than himself for that. But he won't lie, Alek's compliments made the boy blush, as well as, get a nice, warm feeling that his love for pokemon showed.[break]"I guess something in the middle. A little bit of everything? It's hard to explain my major as it's new and a bit experimental."[break]
His shy smile turned to frown soon, hearing that the pleasant man had to go. Here he was hoping that he could make him participate in magicarp catching. Maybe snoop out if the man is single and willing to mingle? But, oh well, there was nothing he could do to change that, so quickly gave him his last smile before turning the other way, ready to enjoy the rest of the festivities with his dear pokemon.

This man may have the muscle mass of three Cogimos (Like, this isn't an actual gym, right?) but the student had a feeling he was the mature one between the two. Nonetheless, it was quite adorable to watch his cotton puff climb the man like a tree. He can't say he wasn't jealous at all. He was, though, distracted from that train of thoughts as this person continued talking, ending with a quite odd suggestion even if Cottonees would be washable pokemons. The youngest of Shimaru's chuckled light-heartedly while hyping himself mentally, "We can do this! Just avoid staring in his eyes, chest, and any other strange place. Focus on Whimsy."[break]
And this was what he did as the boy got closer to the blond, not taking Whimsy back but sinking his own hands in the pokemon's cotton. They sank till his wrist, him talking while doing something in it.[break]"I can see that you haven't met one because then you would know how not-fun it is when an overexcited Cottonee starts spreading cotton spores. Believe me, not pleasant." The boy scrunched his eyebrows in concentration. "Also, you don't shower Cottonee as they become too heavy to float. I use it as a treat that Whimsy has learned to ignore a long time ago." As Cogimo finished talking, he pulled out a brown wallet from pokemon's cotton. "And, as if you were on a date with a cute guy from the internet, you got played by his charms."[break]
Shimaru started to pull out other things too. A small twig, an oran berry, a wristwatch that wasn't his, buss card Cogimo didn't have time looking for in the morning, Billi's hand...Hand? Yup, he had taken one of the boy's hands while digging in the kleptomaniac pokemon's cotton, all of his coolness shattering in a red-faced mess. He quickly let it go, mumbling apologies while checking for anything else in Whimsy's cotton.[break]
He felt something like a phone and, yes, it was one indeed. The thing had a cute, but strange case. Cogimo wanted to even ask where he got it before the case blinked. Cogimo blinked. Markiz was floating silently behind him. Demini had wandered somewhere away. Whimsy got bored and floated back up on Billi's head for a better view. Cogimo forgot everything and looked the other man in the eyes, "...The fuck!?"

Cogimo got lost in thoughts once more after his companion's suggestion.[break]"We haven't visited the caves this year, I guess. I think the last time was when I needed a dusk stone for Markiz here." He then pointed in the direction of the aegislash that was floating close to both of them, its purple stone eye focused on the black-haired male. "We didn't really go there for that reason, it was a family trip to relax, but I ended up finding one after falling into an abandoned shaft. It was a bit scary but, mostly, fun."[break]
The boy turned to booth's tender, giving them another of his bright smile while making an order, "Red strawberry, please!" He pulled Markiz closer to himself so he could reach the cloth bag attached to the pokemon's arm. It had money inside. After paying, he turned again towards Alek and started walking in a random direction, talking between bites.[break]
"You are quite knowledgeable, are you studying something pokemon-related? Or, maybe, already finished it?"

Cogimo Shimaru x priam conrad
Cogimo has a tendency to get into stupid situations thanks to being an airhead, as well as, unlucky. Priam looks like someone fun to be in a messy situation together. Just careful with the flirting if you don't want Cogimo.exe to crash XD But really, would be fun to see how these two mix ^w^

Cogimo Shimaru x @derrick
So, as we discussed in Discord, Cogimo's family owns a pokemon farm/shelter, which needs a new handyman as the previous one retired.
Question, though, with conditions would he come work for them?

Seemed like Adrian rolled with Cogimo's explanation, giving the boy his social media handle. The next thing the black-head said, though, made him freeze up a bit. Because of the eventful day/night, Shimaru's reaction wasn't even close to how usually it was, him simply escaping with red cheeks and a mumbled, "Will do."[break]
Soon after he too was gone, dropping off the Hawlucha in the pokemon center before getting home. There he explained what happened, what was damage is done, and such. Once home, Cogimo fed his pokemon, sent a message to mom, and, before falling asleep, went into Adrian's DMs to text him, "Thank you for working with me today! ^w^" The boy passed out not even three minutes later.

Success. Cogimo was about to have a small victory dance but as he was picking up the pokeball something climbed on his back, furry hands wrapping around his neck. As the boy was turning around (I know, smart), whatever was on his back turned to the boy's front, holding on to the student's jacket. It was a chimchar.[break]
You see, he had no problems with pokemon's climbing him. You get used to it. But the pokemon had fire for a tail and...Well, Cogimo likes not being on fire. Such, you can imagine why he was nervous. The tiny fellow, though, had no such calms, sniffing at the males and then down. This confused the boy until he remembered the pokemon treats he had packed.[break]"Hey little one! Wanna come home with me? I promise a balanced diet if you promise not to set me on fire. Okay?" The chimchar seemed to care only for the treat presented to him and, such, Cogimo lightly threw the last pokeball to capture this tiny creature.

This Adrian was, for sure, more chill than his appearance would suggest. Most people wouldn't. Heck, even Cogimo himself wasn't sure if he would be calm if someone, who has acted weird their whole interaction, went and took their picture. Of course, because of being called out in such a way, it didn't take long before the brown-haired boy got all red again. This time, thank you for the small mercies, it was too dark to see it well. Shimaru went and deleted the picture, dedicated to just ask the guy's social media for Kyle. Like he should have done in the start.[break]
They had no time for that, though, as something moved in the cameras, and the next thing he knew all three men rushing through the building, looking for the two pokemon. They weren't at the pond but had left tracks to follow. That, and there was a lot of noise coming from the bathroom. Once there, though, Cogimo couldn't believe his eyes what he was seeing. The boy slowly pulled out his pokedex just to see what was the ridiculous thing. Both were smashing and crashing the poor room, the boy even wincing once or twice. At first, it seemed these two were evenly matched in...Whatever fighting style they were doing this, but the grapploct managed to take hold of the poor bird in the end.[break]
Meanwhile, Demini was bored. She was so, so bored. The humans were just starring in their shiny box, her human changing color as he always did around the same gender humans. It was strange as no one else was doing it. And then they left. Just left. Leaving her here, alone. BORED. So, of course, Demini followed the noise. Her tiny roots took her to the bathroom, where the battle was about to end. And she was furious. They just decided to go and play without her. The nerve.[break]
The three had men had surrounded the pokemon when it happened. It was obvious that the Hawlucha was about to do something when flakes of purple light started leaving them, the pokemon suddenly falling on one knee. Cogimo widened his eyes, turning to look behind him. There, Demini was just looking at their fish thief as her [Strength Sap] was taking effect. The boy took a step away instantly, knowing too well what was about to happen. The room started to become brighter as the morelull started to shine more and more. As the Hawlucha raised their head, a blast of white light hit them right in the chest, further damaging the bathroom.[break]
With the pokemon on Cogimo just shook his head as he threw a pokeball at it. If Adrian will want this one...Well, he had no problems giving it to him. Cogimo just didn't want to do this again. Demini was now intensely starring at the black-haired boy while lightly swaying in a non-existing breeze.[break]"Well...That's that. Would it be weird if I asked your social media now? I kind of want to leave as soon, as possible but I also kind of wanted to ask that. For science. Also sorry if I was awkward today, I'm quite new on...The crazy side of pokemons." The boy extended his unlocked phone in a shy questioning manner.

Hearing the man's comment on Boink's health, Cogimo smiled down to his pokemon, petting its hard shell in affection.[break]"Nice to hear that those mineral baths did some good. Cleaning after them is no fun." He then chuckled before getting wrapped up once again in the knowledge this guy was pouring out of himself. His eyebrows did pull together once the bed thing was mentioned, but it was more of confusion than anything else.[break]"Like, beds and pillows made from cottonee's wool? I know my mom makes some sort of fabric by mixing cottonee's cotton with Eldegoss's. I also sell what I trim off from this little fellow to this one textile major. She gives me cool shirts from time to time." The cotton puff pokemon made more chirping sounds while bouncing up and down on his trainer's head.[break]
"I guess..." The student just shrugged, "But Boink doesn't like staying in his pokeball. He, also, can't move around on his own, but I want him to socialize." Cogimo then smiled, while looking at each of his pokemon. "Plus, it's family time. Would be mean to leave him there when everyone else is out and about." More happy chirping sounds could be heard from Whimsy.[break]"Though, I wonder..." The boy spoke as they approached the shave ice stall, "When do ferroseeds evolve? I have had Boink for...8 years, now. Soon it will be nine."
