The assignment was simple. Clear out a cave where wild pokemon were holed up, and reportedly causing problems at the nearby beach. The claims could've just been about food scraps being eaten by them rather than discarded. Either way, Giona had to do some volunteer work, after his recent Arson charge.

The beach was distinguished from the grassland by a literal hard line in the sand. Both sides caught the sun in their own way; the grassland with dew on every surface and the sand with silica and micro-plastics in the water washing ashore. Either way, both sides of the terrain east of Mauville were peppered with people going about their day. The nosy "concerned citizen" was nowhere to be found, but the cave they mentioned was plain to see.

"So... are you busy after this?"

He said, with a dismissive wave of the hand against his chest. His Espurr stood next to him, grabbing his finger in its entire paw like a toddler.

Giona knelt down to scoop up the capsule on the ground, cramming it in one pocket. He then stood up and dusted himself off. He was a little restless, and felt warm between his ears.

Giona nodded. He flinched when Cofagrigus burst from the wall, but as it fell, the two were flanked by two new intruders. A Medicham, more suited to the mountain trails, stood out to Giona. "I'll be done with this one soon." He said, before hearing rustling on the paved floor as the two neared them.

The cat growled, leaning on its hind legs. It was a lethargic sort of thing. Told off by Giona before, for not being as alert as it seemed to be around Emma. "So, what leads you to think it's a disturbed gravesite?" He asked, as the Medicham circled Luxray, whose tail swished back and forth.

Luxray lunged forth, fangs flashing gold. A Thunder Fang sunk into Medicham, clipping its arm. It flinched, and Giona whistled a low A note, barely more compressed than simply exhaling. Luxray then used Spark, on the thing it had pinned. Giona wouldn't spare a ball for this one.

POSTED ON Jun 30, 2021 2:17:10 GMT

Giona paused for a minute. He started to alter his form, starting underhand and ending with his arm holding the dumbbell overhand when fully extended, trying to activate every part of each arm and shoulder. His form looked like he was trying to throw a punch with the dumbbell. He'd be much slower with this, and Bryan would be able to see a vein just above his collarbone rise.

He felt a pang of relief when Bryan gave the two of them something to focus on, instead of talking past eachother. He had a weak grin on his face. "That's a good attitude to have. My older brother got a shitty matching stick-n-poke with a girl that he doesn't talk to anymore." He said, chuckling a little. "I got the lightning bolt pattern because... I used to work for a landscaping company doing work on the grassy part of the Slateport Bridge. A wild Electrike was messing with the power tools, and I caught it so it wouldn't get put down." He said, sweat from his forehead sliding down and drying in the shaved down parts of his hairline.

Giona could feel eyes trained on him, as he camped beside the cooler. He raised a brow, then shrugged his shoulders. He tugged at the collar of his white button-up, which sat atop a pair of black slacks and boots. He looked like an overgrown schoolboy.

"Oh, that's a shame. This is a great time to be outdoors."

The waves rolled in. Boltund landed what some would call a critical hit. Its Crunch landed cleanly, thanks to Honedge's own No Guard ability. It was clipped at the hilt, and clattered to the ground, as if it fell off a kitchen counter. Giona dug out a black pokeball with fingers grouped together to cover the front for some reason, and a red beam pulled it back.

"Hell yeah, dude. I just gotta rustle up one of the guys from work, and I'd be down to clown."

Manectric sniffed out a vaguely copper-y taste in the air, in the oxygen-thin foothills. It started to trot, then picked up speed. Legs contracted, then it sprung off the ground. Snatching the blue-grey plate from the air with a Fire Fang, like a frisbee. It looked back to Giona for approval, as the plate 'flinched'. He pulled out a kohl-black ball with the R on it, tossing it at the plate. Manectric then bumped the ball back up to him, as the ball tossed and turned.

He'd disturbed King's quiet. His warrior-poet's inner peace. Ribbons of smoke trailed from Giona, into the already thin air. He felt the need to defend himself, but maintained a gentle smile. "I'm out for a hike. They don't even let me smoke at work." He said, looking down to the blue-haired man. "Oh, one second. I'd hate to talk down to you, in any sense of the word." He said, looking back to Manectric. Giona slowly descended, so as to pet his electric-blue dog. This also brought him to eye-level with King. "So, what are you doing here?"

Giona curled his hands up and threw the Gatr-ade bottle to Gavin with one hand pushing and the other guiding, as if he was shooting a basketball. It had a light blue hue, like the cyan used by printers. Giona fanned himself with an outstretched hand. He was then met with Jayden asking for one as well. He dove into the cooler and retrieved an electrolyte drink with a magenta hue. He threw it to him with a similar form, as if jumping to sink a shot at the 3-point-line.

"Hell yeah, dude. It's the least I could do, being the closest to the cooler, and all."

Flygon was batted back by Brutal Swing. Ontop of that, it hadn't landed a hit on its intended target. It looked back to Giona and chirped, and was met by him whistling. Giona produced a low A note, just barely more focused than simply expelling air. It turned back, letting forth a blast of air tinged with a dragon's jouissance. An orange Dragon Breath headed right for Gyarados. Giona nodded to Adrian.

"So....... do you need a drink?"

The creature was identified. A purple shadow that clung to the walls, only as solid as it needed to be to carry out its pranks. It turned its attention to Chu-e, the willowy man staring it down. It cackled, pointing a clawed hand at the man it sent tumbling down the steps. Only... it seemed to creep up and peer down the steps, arching a brow when there were no satisfying, drum-like thumps of the metal stairs.

Giona clenched his teeth with discomfort, eyes widening. He sailed through the air, before being caught by a clawed hand outstretched, as if to catch him. “Hah?? Well, now it's my turn.”

Twisting and craning his neck back to the top of the stairs, he could see the shadow if he squinted. Trying to arch his back and stand himself back up, he dug around under his grunt's flatcap for a pokeball, calling a crested bird. Haunter kept its eye on Chu-e, trying to lull him to sleep with a glut of psychic energy that sounded like snoring coming from inside his head. A blast of Hypnosis.

Excited. He was still on his last legs, sure. But this seemed like a genuine breakthrough. An idea came. His eyes lit up, and a weak grin formed.

Flygon turned back, chirping at Giona. He whistled a note that started slightly above his low-A, and descended. Flygon turned back, eyes narrowing at the stunned Pangoro. It kicked up a storm of loose sand and dust particles, using Sand Tomb. A thin layer of grit to try and deprive Pangoro of solid ground to stand on.

There were rumors, and low-res images floating around of something haunting the submarine. Sightings were reported in the dorms, baths, and offices. Whatever this 'ghost' is, it evaded capture. Slipped right down the stairs, cackling the entire time.

Giona flinched, turning back and peeling down the hall. He stopped, turning to talk to Chu-e. “It sounds stupid, yes. Which is why we won't talk about it after I wrap this up, right?”

Turning back towards the hall, he pushed off the walls with his elbows and ran to the end of the hall, towards the stairs. The purple shadow seemed to patiently wait for him, giggling as it trailed off, slightly out of reach. At the top of the staircase it stopped and solidified; a Haunter sticking its tongue out for him to careen into. A passive LICK left him paralyzed, locked up again. Haunter then held him over the top of the stairs by the collar of his black Rocket shirt, cackling as claws dug into the fabric. Giona looked down and his eyes widened, though he didn't scream, partly out of the fear of what'd happen if he awoke everyone and it got away.

Frazzled. He'd been given a subtle but not overlooked reminder that he came up short. Surely... only Dig would really pierce through the Sub and cause lasting damage. Either way, Dragon Breath wasn't working, and Sand Tomb lacked power.

Flygon was struck and rolled over. This time, it stood up much slower. It'd be over if he didn't think fast. Giona produced a series of low notes, more percussive than actually carrying any melody. Flygon seemed to recall its days of stomping around as a Trapinch, responding to Pangoro with Bulldoze. A fit of thrashing that tried to take out Pangoro's legs from under it.

Giona nodded, standing slightly infront of him. He was just a hair under 5'8, and weirdly nervous about being bumped into by someone tall on the sub who just didn't see him. He finished off his drink, dropping the paper cup in a garbage can as they walked.

"I'm sure I'll have to at some point. I'm not familiar with Sootopolis, but I have to watch over that place until they can find someone to do my job there. Someone's watching Mauville in my stead, until then.”

He gestured towards the other signs on the northern wing of the sub with a bandaged hand. Labs. Offices. Courtyard. Just slightly out of the way, you'd have to squint to see them if running to your workplace wasn't muscle memory yet.

Giona nodded, as the two of them peeled into the courtyard. Plenty of entrances and exits. Seating arrangements, in a sort of conversation pit fashion dotted the wide open courtyard, broken up by rows of low-maintenance succulent plants. Plants like aloe and various cacti that straddled the line between being genuinely helpful and merely hiding the fact that they were all stuck in a pressurized metal box together better than any other room. Bill could notice that the walls and corners were bare.

Grunts piled in and out at the same pace as the King of the Hill opening. Some wore the actual black tights with red Rs, others wore mixes of flannel and denim that could take the beating of doing field work for this hive of scum and villainy.

"I may have misspoken. The only purpose a place like this could serve is to connect people. Despite or maybe... because of that, it'd be perfect for you to set up camp.”

Frazzled. Yet again, faced with his own limitations. Couldn't use Dig or Bulldoze without damaging the submarine. Sand Tomb lacked raw power. He'd have to experiment with non-spoken vocal commands whenever other opportunities arose. A bead of sweat rolled from his forehead. Giona tilted his head back so it soaked into the side of his undercut rather than his shirt collar.

Flygon was struck and flipped vertically. This time, it stood up much slower. A low-A, somewhere between genuinely whistling and simply expelling air. Flygon keyed in on the exhaling part, responding to Pangoro with Dragon Breath. A forceful blast of orange-tinted air, tinged with a Dragon's jouissance.

Overjoyed. The sign of what seemed like a breakthrough. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for the rest of his life. Trying to hit specific notes while whistling seemed to be an eye-opener. The fact that he hadn't up until now was like fighting with a hand tied behind his back. He grinned at Theo, before looking back to the battle. He'd thank him, but he had to honor the no-talking rule.

Flygon was struck and rolled like a long, flat car being flipped over. It sprung back up, hovering in place on jade wings like a hummingbird. He produced a low note, this time with purpose. A low-A, somewhere between genuinely whistling and simply expelling air. Flygon keyed in on the exhaling part, responding to Pangoro with Dragon Breath. A forceful blast of orange-tinted air, tinged with a Dragon's jouissance.
