“Bro….” Rowan heard the familiar call from over his shoulder, almost assuming for a moment that Argos had gotten out of his Pokéball. “Argos, what did I tell you about escaping…” When he turned around Argos was nowhere to be seen, instead was the large purple form of an unknown Slowbro that had started following him around. “Uhhh, are you lost?” Rowan stopped walking and allowed the Pokémon to catch up. “Bro…” A soft sigh escaped from his lips, knowing all too well how absent-minded these Pokémon tended to be.

“Mistral, can you help me get him into a Pokéball?” Mistral nodded and charged at the Slowbro, using Metal Claw to rake across their Shellder tail and draw their attention. “Distracted means easier to catch.” Rowan gripped onto the empty Pokéball and tossed it at the Slowbro, hoping to capture the Shiny Pokémon in order to relocate it to a more comfortable place.

School Reunion [ROWAN]

“You killed one of them?” Rowan raised an eyebrow, continuing to be surprised by their extraordinary exploits throughout Hoenn. “Can’t say the space cannibals didn’t deserve it, though.” Murder begets murder, there wasn’t much else to say about the situation in his opinion. “Shame about the love interest though, hope that isn’t too sore for you.” Rowan didn’t know much about heartbreak, but he assumed that the concept wasn’t pleasant from how others described their emotions after separation.

“No basement involved, fortunately.” A small chuckle escaped from his throat, returning to the seat next to their bed. “His name is Adrian Malcolm. Came from Sinnoh, and apparently is a pretty important trainer here.” Strangely enough, that hadn’t become relevant during their relationship. A lot more pressing changes and avenues had become apparent, leaving Adrian’s former occupation somewhat obscured. “You ever met him in all that shit you’re up to?”

“I’m not after your number, no.” A smile crossed his lips as Rowan accepted the phone, curious to see how much of a hole the Grunt would be digging himself before he realized who he was talking with. Not that there would be any punishment involved, this was more for his own personal amusement and their eventual embarrassment, that was far more sweet than any kind of reprimand. “You can call me Row, nice to meet you.” He’d give his nickname to further muddy the water, hoping to not give away too much of his identity too soon.

Snap. Snap. Snap. A few shots were taken of the man across from him, keeping a decent focus and frame in mind to create the ideal shots. “Oh, I drew that.” Rowan slid his hand into his backpack and produced the cocktail napkin, slipping it onto the table in front of Mint. “I met this Pokémon a few weeks ago, it’s not one that I've ever seen or heard of before. Haven’t gotten much luck from anyone else I've asked either.” A small shrug lifted his shoulders, playing this off casually instead of the truthful fervor in which he’d attempted to research their identity.

Imagine a thread that took place four months ago but stood still in time because there hadn’t been a post made in so long. What would be different? Melody would still have her hair and Rowan wouldn’t be a depressed sad-sack who isn’t getting laid. What a wonderful time this was! Anyways, Rowan quickly reeled on the line when he realized a Remoraid had caught on the hook. “Electric Pokémon don’t count, you absolute kettle.”

Unfortunately, he was so distracted that he didn’t notice the Cramorant come flying in to steal the Remoraid right off his hook. “Damn it!” There was nothing he could do now, except to cast the line again with a deep sigh. “This is bullshit.”

“Reacharounds? You really are a pervert aren’t you, Adrian Malcolm?” Rowan chuckled, resting his head on the edge of the pool. “Just have to be patient. You know you aren’t the only one suffering, right?” There were many nights where he wanted nothing more than to be ravaged by his boyfriend, so much so that his dreams had become utterly corrupted with the concept lately.

“Imagine how explosive it’ll be when we can again.” A soft giggle escaped his lips as he wiggled his eyebrows at Adrian. “Ever seen a volcano explode? There is going to be some serious tremors going on.”

“What the hell?” Rowan pushed himself up from the grass with purpose, watching as the mist coalesced in the area around them, seemingly having come from the fallen meteorite. “Adrian, are you…” Words stopped coming the moment he saw a familiar shape form in the haze, the flowing mane and twin ribbons of the Pokémon he’d seen on that fateful night in Sootopolis City. The one he’d been searching for was suddenly standing before him, after weeks of fruitless effort.

With reckless abandon, Rowan charged directly into the mist, determined to uncover the identity of the enigmatic Pokémon one and for all. A connection had been forged when he looked into their eyes, a compassion that he’d never felt before in his life, the sensation that he was actually understood in his entirety. “I’m coming…”

Clothes were forlorn as Rowan stepped out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, watching Adrian with concerned eyes. “This isn’t your fault, Adrian. You shouldn’t be torturing yourself.” A gentle touch would have been reassuring, but he couldn’t even provide that, instead he attempted to provide the same comfort through his words. “Something made you like this, you should be focusing your hate on them.”

Rowan reached up onto the top of the fridge and pulled down the bottle of whiskey stashed above, setting it on the counter in front of Adrian should he so desire. “This doesn’t change how I feel about you at all, or make me love you any less...you know that, right?”

“Don’t make me punch you, Malcolm.” He teased, a small smirk plastered on his lips. Rowan would have risked the pain, but he knew how much Adrian hated to drain him, even for small moments of contact. “The holiday sounds nice, not like I have a family to spend it with anyways.” A shrug lifted his shoulders, unable to even rely on fond memories of the time of year considering his mother was usually absent and his father was…

“Yeah, might be difficult to explain when one of them passes out after hugging you.” Once again the conversation turned towards the cure, this enigmatic macguffin that couldn’t be obtained no matter how hard he tried. So far Lulu was the best chance of locating this maltese falcon, and still there had been no progress. “Who knows, might even go away on its own.” Wishful thinking, for sure.

“I did the first time, haven’t gotten that since.” Rowan smiled and offered Spectrier’s phantasmal mane a small stroke before settling in on the back of the Pokémon. “He’s really the only land-based riding Pokémon I own, funny enough. I specialize in water-types, mostly.” Ice-types had become somewhat of a new interest, but wasn’t fleshed out enough to call the interest anything more than just that.

“I’ll take the lead, never know what dastardly forces might be lurking in the woods looking to ambush the League Champion, after all.” He chuckled and pressed his knees into the sides of Spectrier, prompting them to begin moving down the path. “So, Kyle. You know Noah Faber, right?” Probing disguised as idle-chatter seemed innocuous enough, or so he thought.

    An eyebrow raised as chryssa glasgow engaged in some sort of banter about his opening introduction, calling his Inteleon a ‘basketball lizard’. Was that what people did in these competitions? Rowan was more confused than anything else, but he wouldn’t let that distract him from putting on a show for the audience, they were more important when it came to appeal than what his opponents thought. Still, he offered a courteous clap when she finished her demonstration.

    “Alright, Natasha. Let’s show them what we meant.” She nodded and stepped into the spotlight once more. A wave of her hand created a series of watery bubbles in the air, allowing them to float listlessly into a field behind her as she watched the crowd with disinterested eyes. “Natasha, take them all out with one shot.” The Inteleon glanced over her shoulder for a moment before looking back towards the audience, holding her hand out behind her and aiming her finger-gun for a moment before letting Snipe Shot loose.

    The projectile bounced and ricocheted off what must have been a dozen surfaces, the watery bullet bursting each bubble into a spray of droplets until none of them were left floating on the stage. Natasha blew imaginary smoke off the end of her finger before retreating towards where Rowan had been waiting, offering a dismissive flick of her tail towards the audience.

“Beautiful.” Rowan remarked as he took in the view of the coral reef before them, vibrant and full of natural color that contained an entire ecosystem hidden within. “Where are the Clamperl?” He called back, expelling bubbles through his rebreather as he spoke.

Amber eyes glanced about before checking on the Pokémon he’d brought with him, Mistral and Phione seemed to be chatting about something with a series of cries while Kubfu was more focused on the mission at hand, puffing on their rebreather to be able to keep up with their aquatic companions. “You’re doing great Kubfu, remember our training.”
