The battle slowly ground to a start. The prospect of carrying on like this... Giona was close to just flat out surrendering, or banning Sandstorm and Hail. He tied a knot in the scarf he covered his face with, effectively blindfolding himself.

"In all truth... it’s easier than it used to be. Now, there’s all these sparkling waters and fermented teas out there." He said, thinking for a moment. The cascade of rocks and the lumbering quality of Tyrannitar, whose steps tumbled in his heart, told him it was unwise to remove Rotom from the field. He costs himself a turn again to switch out Sableye for Rotom.

Giona nodded. He smiled when the two were flanked by intruders again, this time. He put Luxray away, and walked up to Ralts. This little thing, just waiting to get swooped on by anything bigger. Especially that Malamar he already put away. "..." He passed through the threshold of the gate and kneeled for a second. He exhaled and decompressed a little, and held out a hand, as if it were for a dog to smell.

Ralts cupped his hand in its small hands. His change, spurred by Remiel, was enough to win it over. As telepathic transmission copied a handful of things about him, purpose and community-leadership stood out. He was a smuggler, but his bullshit "i fight for my friends" thing and newfound respect for Mount Pyre won it over. "...What is this? Normally, you'd be attacking me by now." He asked, holding out a pokeball.

Ralts reached for it and pressed the button. Giona stood, and jogged after Remiel. He was starting to look a little... tired. Giona spoke up. "Have you gone this deep before?" It'd be a relief if atleast one of them knew what they were doing.

The rumble of the waterfall. Meteor Falls was a gorgeous vista, a mere hour-long hike from the Mount Chimney site he was supposed to be staking out with other Rockets. The site where Groudon let them all off with a warning. Giona took it to heart, and saw fit to keep hiking. He wore a band tee and a pair of black canvas pants lined with straps top to bottom. Accompanying him was a Zangoose that towered over him. For ages, dirtbags have had sables, ferrets, and raccoons as pets.

Seeing a young trainer lament that his team wasn't cool enough, he drew close, and whistled. Zangoose used Hone Claws right away, as if ringing a dinner bell and trying to challenge wild pokemon.

"Hopefully, we can remedy that."

Friends. In all truth, he couldn't think of a single person he'd call a friend that wasn't either too weird for her or probably a fed. Her laugh reminded him that she had just as rich an inner life as him. That he needed to resume eye contact and be present. "Yeah. They sure are something."

He thought about it for a minute. Dying his hair again. He probably couldn't, given his circumstances. "...Yeah. It's interesting... I think I still have the bleaching kit, but I forgot the dye bottle when I moved."

She pushed him away, but turned a deep red in the process. A laugh escaped as well. He shook his head, and laughed a little, but he blushed at her joke. "You're right. Your hands are so soft."

ROCKET POOL PARTY [MEGA THREAD]

The two pulled Eden away altogether. The way they slowly peeled off and ran away with her was like a plane taking flight. He snickered at that, and then turned back to the couple that he knew slightly better. It'd been ages since he'd last seen Emma, but he seemed to bump into King with every odd step.

He glanced aside, and thought for a minute. King just went for it, didn't care who was watching. People could call him what they wanted, but they couldn't call him a coward. Giona looked down. His ill-advised bear cub looked up at him, showing a paw covered in glitter. The light caught it just well enough to shine.

"--Either way, it was nice to see you two."

He said, slowly trying to scoop up Pancham's paw and entice him to walk with him. In his attempt to escape the Prescotts, he'd become a third wheel. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He slowly started to make his way towards the stairwell, on the opposite side of the room.

The space-themed interlopers ranged from serious alien and astronaut cosplay to mere body paint. Giona scrambled up the stairs. Though each room produced some ambient noise, the one that stood out was the quietest of them all. A 'cooldown room' of sorts, with fog and a night sky display. A tattooed young man was in there, nursing a phone. Though immediately the shape in the fog had little bear get worked up, Giona scooped him up into his arms.

The night sky reminded him of his conversation with Alice. Furthermore, it was easier to see the outline of a person than to see them, so in this instance he squinted. Could this have been the same Sam he tried to dodge at the beach? It would've been rude to stare, and rude to ask. He reached out, pointing to a star in the display, followed by the little bear pointing a paw at it. Nonetheless, he had to say something to not make it weird.

"...Hey."
Giona slowly peels off from either group and heads upstairs.

ROCKET POOL PARTY [MEGA THREAD]

The little man snickered at his comment, and looked him up and down. Knox accepted his offering, then blasted his face with glitter. It was like a fistful of pocket-sand, that similarly had him recoil for a half second. He might've been the only Rocket who could be killed by an attempted Care Bear Stare. The glitter formed a thin film over what was likely a recently washed face, making him catch the ambient light of the room a little more.

He looked to the two, standing close together in the foyer. Knox dove back into his phone. Giona smirked, and spoke again in his vocal fry, the telltale sound of someone who clearly just got up from a nap and put on the bare minimum to go outside.

"Don't threaten me with a good time. Tell your friend that I said hi."

He said, with an outstretched finger pointing at the phone. He then looked to Eden, as the two siblings descended upon her. The way they fought intermittently reminded him of what it was to be the oldest sibling in his experience. To be put-upon but also controlling. He took that as his cue to just step back, and try to look busy. Pancham was drawing on the floor by parting the piles of discarded glitter and revealing tile with his fingers.

Luckily, two new people jumped in. He turned, intermittently trying to follow the group without "blocking" anyone with his body-language. An arched brow and a knowing nod was how he greeted King, followed by a thumb pointed at Knox.

"I just handed him a case of twisted teas. I'm sure he'd share, if you asked."
Giona ropes King into interacting with the two.

Giona hadn't met her yet, but as a teacher's pet in Rocket, he saw fit to gift a gacha Gothitelle to , a more established mover and shaker in the crime syndicate.

ROCKET POOL PARTY [MEGA THREAD]

The open floor plan. The growl of engines peeling in and out of the driveway and the accompanying street. The party was starting to begin in earnest, a little after 11 o' clock. A throng of people met their host, as he greeted them all. It looked a little ostentatious, but accentuating your shoulders (even with pads) makes you look stronger and provides your body with a nice symmetry. Needless to say, Knox is an alpha.

Giona by comparison was... so far out of his element. He wore a black button-up and matching swim trunks, with a pair of black sandals on. It was unclear if that mark on his face was a face tattoo or a scar of some kind, but either way, he'd done the bare minimum to cover it up. He was that guy you see at every concert. Incapable of unfolding his arms. Nonetheless, he'd insist he had a great time if asked.

Something about Knox  seemed... kind of familiar. Not that they'd ever met. He just looked like so many people that he'd seen at Rocket. Giona approached him, with a baby Pancham clinging to his fingers. Though he didn't drink, he'd offer a 12 pack of hard kombuchas as a peace offering in an outstretched hand. A bundle of fermented teas that hit as hard as any beer..

"Thanks for being here, man. Work was really kicking my ass, lately."

Steel Ringing on Steel [DW]

The power plant was abuzz with lots of quiet conversations. Floors below, an engineer's phone lit up. What looked like an actual big thief trying to sap power off a wall socket by the door was ineffectually swung at by a Pawniard. A little thing that only knew that it wanted a fight.

A flash of red pulled the imp back. Upon spotting Pawniard, Giona whipped an arm. The Rocket patterned ball let loose a Pancham. This also drew the ire of Electivire. The three launched off the ground and swung at eachother repeatedly. The constant small blows gently pattered like a drum circle at a music festival. Every hit was charged with the id-attacking-id quality of two children playing "bloody knuckles".

"...I lived here as a kid. This was on the opposite side of town to me, just outside of city limits."

Pawniard faltered first, but Pancham relented. Giona threw a ball at it, cutting the fight short for now. Pancham and Electivire looked a little disappointed, but relented after a moment of quiet. Again, she bristled at him. He offered a little smile.

"I'm taking him for a walk. He's restless if I don't do this."

Following their meeting on the beach, Giona felt as though time and time again words failed him in ways that looked as if he failed his friends. His mood swings quieted, but this still called for a peace offering. To that end, he'd gift a gacha Magnezone to .

Again, Giona saw fit to acknowledge another beholder of Groudon. That _ drew fire for the team. He held the orb in his arms, slightly out of reach as Giona and Zac calmed Groudon. Giona is giving a gacha Vespiquen to Greyson as a gift upon remembering that he collected that sort of thing.
