Casey downed another fifth of his drink. He staved off dehydration well enough, but the sun was starting to bear down on him. He thought the offer over for a minute, folding his sunburnt arms.

"Suit yourself. It’s a satin and polyester piece, the kind of thing I’d wear to bed. And uh. If you need help, I’ll be there. I’d love to shoot for this, I just need a time and place."

Casey then smiled ear to ear, hearing him talk about the gym getting traction already. He thought about his own family. About how he could’ve been in the Fire Brigade with his mom if he tried harder. His eyes drifted off to the middle distance. He was then perked up by Glitch elaborating on what he meant. "Yeah. I mean... They had their chance to support you. Now, it goes straight to voicemail. They get to hear what you worked for, all by yourself."

Casey finally put 2 and 2 together. His recent media hit with entrepreneur Zac Ramsey had something to do with that Amor Rose guy he met months ago. It lead to some unrelated work, but he needed to just keep at it. Nonetheless! He had to find a way to thank him. Casey sent him an Eggsecutor, a pest from the garden he ate from on occasion.

vapes' garden

POSTED ON Jul 9, 2021 19:14:26 GMT

Tending to a communal garden was as close as Casey got to exercise. A small plot, whose owner was... conspicuously absent. It appeared as though some new kind of tree was stopping everything from getting sufficient sunlight. It was concerning, as everything was in a garden bed, and not a clay pot he could easily push aside.

It appeared to be a fully grown Eggsecutor, rather than a normal tree. He’d gotten his media hit with Zac, and had to thank that strange man in some way. He put two and two easily. A devilish grin appeared on his face. "I've got this." He dug a hand through one of his long zip-up pockets, digging fingers into a pokeball nervously. Out came a gentle looking balloon, swaying in the wind. The odd tree used Bullet Seed,slowly wearing Drifloon down. Drifloon retaliated with Ominous Wind. A blast of purple-tinted air particles that looked no more harsh than Gust, but was tinged with the unnerving feeling of a ghost passing through you. Casey looked like he'd been hit with it too, the way that his hair stood on end. Casey threw a quick ball at Eggsecutor, knowing that things would get worse if they were allowed to carry on.

things are kind of a mess right now [m]

POSTED ON Jul 6, 2021 6:05:19 GMT

Though Glitch clearly had friction with the adults of the family, their generation was tight-knit. Well, as tight-knit as they could be. Well, Casey had nothing but love for these people, but he had trouble actually sitting down and making time for them. And... It's not like he had a real job keeping him away from them.

Casey grinned looking him over, then beckoned Basil in with a hand. He gestured to a low-sitting futon in the living-room, then moved back to the kitchen. The TV played a public-access channel with an adjunct Pokemon Professor candidate giving a lecture. He turned the music off, then reached into the fridge. A commercial break informed the two that for pennies a day they could start saving for their newborn's college fund.

The rubber seal popped, as he swung the door open to bring out a paperboard to-go box from a restaurant. He crashed on the futon, knees sitting higher than his hips as if he were squatting. He opened the box, revealing a halved sandwich comprised of Clauncher fillet, celery, and a vaguely garlic-y aioli. The kind of thing he had to fly back to the diner he hit up with DANNY HALL for. "Hey, man. They're getting into tectonic activity around Sootopolis. Feel free to help yourself to this, or whatever else you can find in the fridge."

If Basil went through the fridge, he'd find a lot of little plastic containers of hummus, bread, and premade salads. The door was bereft of any milks or juices, it was instead host to various sparkling waters and hard seltzers, both in a number of fruit flavors.

Casey downed another fifth of his drink. He staved off dehydration well enough, but the sun was starting to bear down on him. To curse his pallor with a beet-red across his neck and shoulders. He winced, before looking back to Glitch.

"Some apparel company called Smart-Armor? Some famous girl's normal boyfriend was there too. I got to keep my outfit from the shoot, but I have enough track jackets. Do you want it? It's like... sand beige."

Casey then smiled ear to ear, hearing him talk about the gym getting traction already. He then flinched at the thought of their family. Of his father who works for the city government of Fallarbor, while he hustled and grifted. Hawking athletic-wear, doing thirst traps to promote meditation apps. Selling the concept of being in shape and feeling normal. A sign of a healthy world. He looked aside, by where the sea met the sky, then looked back to Glitch. "...Yeah. I'm sure my parents are thinking differently now, but those calls aren't worth picking up. Well, you still have Basil and Melody."

Casey downed another fifth of his drink. He staved off dehydration well enough, but the top of his head was starting to feel the glare of the sun, the exact kind of discomfort that lead to his undercut. Casey put the pokeball that held the bird down in the pocket of his jean-shorts.

"Yeah. Things are different now. Just the other day, I did a modeling campaign for tracksuits. And... you're working at the Gym, right?"

Casey then smiled ear to ear, folding his arms over his chest. He shook his head, then looked at Sprite. Feeling its eyes on him, he turned back to face Glitch. "I wouldn't have put forth a challenge if I wasn't prepared for the possibility of losing. Thanks for taking it seriously."

Huh. Jellicent were native to her home country. Casey nodded, and made a note of it; this was the sort of thing he'd need to talk to that fellow at the Weather Institute about. Casey nodded, watching her gently save the normally cagey lizard from the water it was unsuited to.

He then turned aside, looking down. In the time since the last real battle, Mantyke seemed to have made a friend in the sea. A little... sea serpent? It was crested like a lizard, but it moved like any limbless fish through the sea. Casey then grabbed a Quick Ball, diving into the water to touch the button to its head. He was then pulled back atop Whiscash by a current it made with a whip of its tail, landing flat on his back.

Casey tried speaking to cut the tension, yet again. "That's interesting. They seem like the sort of thing you'd have to go deep in the ocean to get. Did you ever get a Jellicent? And if not... What kind of Water types did you have back home?"

It seemed like stalling. Vamping, as podcasters called it. Casey could feel the sun lap at his neck and shoulders, turning them a deep red. He then spoke up. She was a little further away than before, but he hadn't the upper body strength to roll over and face Evette just yet. "I caught Whiscash here on a fishing trip with my mom. It was too small and sickly to eat, as a Barboach."

^{Evette Moreau}

TL;DR: Eager to reach out and welcome someone to Hoenn, Casey was interrupted by a Dratini, and feels lucky.

Slateport City. A city perpetually smelling of sea-salt, due to the sun evaporating the very edges of the seawater, and the wind current carrying the particles inland. This left longtime residents with a strong seasalt scent.

Casey downed another fifth of his drink. He staved off dehydration well enough, but his sunscreen was being slowly breached, like the ozone layer. His neck was as pink as his hair. He marveled at Glitch still meeting his challenge, and still winced while looking at him. Whatever he's hiding with the blanket is still enough to warrant being carted around in a wheelchair.

Casey's Staravia was hit by the three-sided prism The sensory-overload, that sought to attack with 3 disparate types in equal measure, without any being super-effective. It was like being a kid trying to mix all your watercolors together and coming up with an ash-grey. If either of them could see the concept of HP, they'd see that Staravia was technically not knocked out. However, it was encased in a 3 foot tall prism made of ice and sent hurtling towards the ground. And even if it managed to thaw out, it'd need a while before its muscles were actually in working order.

Casey stared, wide-eyed. He pulled a blue and yellow ball, withdrawing the downed starling. This was as close as a pokemon battle got to throwing in the towel. "Oh my god. That's... That's amazing."

Casey thought for a minute. He downed another 1/5 of the can, and looked back up at Zac. He smiled, and appreciated him opening up.. "--I’m from volcano country too. My dad’s the Treasury Secretary of Fallarbor. He used to make me go fishing with a friend to stay out of trouble, and that’s when I found a Barboach that I couldn’t bring myself to club or eat."

Then, Zac brought them back to the reason for being here. Dugtrio circled the ground, moving through the sand with the grace any fish would take to the water with. It popped its three heads up and launched into a Tri Attack. A rotating prism of fire, ice, and lightning that defied all reason. Mantyke was knocked down and left with a burn. "You seem to be faring just fine without it."

Casey had a weak grin, watching the restless mole go to and fro. Mantyke took to the sky again, and circled the group overhead. It launched a Water Pulse. A wave of rippling water that caught the sun’s glare, looking like a ring of light. It looked all the more large and imposing when used on dry land. cxUXE8v9

TITANS OF WAR

The tug of war had been going on long enough. Casey was skinny. Sweaty. Anemic too. He had patches of beet-red skin, under the horrific sun. The cruel mistress punishing him for his pallor. He'd been utterly demoralized by how little he seemed to be able to control as of late, but now was his chance.

He called for his Whiscash to act up, unlike its usual docile self. He had a wicked grin spread across his face, with it wide enough to affect the skin around his eyes. "Use Earthquake." Compared to its previous outburst, Earthquake was far less controlled. It was less of a focused attempt to pull someone’s head apart and more like indiscriminate thrashing around. The sand under everyone’s feet was even less stable than sand normally was. Its whiskers stood on end, keying into its minor seismic activity.UcIo4HKq +50

The apartment was wide but short. One of a few in the building, lucky enough to have a balcony with a sliding glass door and a curtain infront of it. The curtain was held back by a big paperclip to let a little sun in.

The place clearly belonged to a college student, with a desk in the living room littered with marine biology textbooks and essay-drafts on how ocean acidity affects water type populations. A note on the top of the stack read "Casey, I'm visiting my parents for two weeks, before the new quarter. Keep the place in good shape." In handwriting that you had to squint at. Somewhere between a pharmacist's scrip and cursive.

There was a kitchen connected to the living room, and a bedroom nearby which held the door to the balcony. Errant beams of dimming sun kept the place kind of warm and bright, without being humid. The kitchen counter had a phone plugged in, playing a mix of heavy but dull and thudding songs. The musical equivalent of laying under a weighted blanket. They came out of a phone speaker, and echoed off of the linoleum counter.

The door rang, and Casey was right there to swing it open. Basil could see a wide, blue creature lurking around. It was round and soft, somewhere between a flotation device and a manta ray. It glided across the place like a butterfly. "Hey, man. It's been a while. What have you been up to? Are you still in school?"

Casey thought for a minute. He downed another 1/5 of the can, and looked back up at Zac. He seemed to put the pieces together well enough. "--Come to think of it... I think I saw Glitch when I found the cooler full of Feraligatrade. Could've been heat-stroke on my part, but I'd recognize that face."

Then, Zac brought up having obtained Dugtrio recently. That'd account for its restlessness. "I've had Mantyke for a while. I caught 'em on my commute home from visiting the extended family in Mossdeep. My first pokemon was uh, the Whiscash that I rode there."

Casey had a weak grin, watching the restless mole go to and fro. And the comparatively very calm Zac. The man who even humored the transparent fraud. Casey had a weak grin. "Let's let 'em wrestle, then." Mantyke whistled a low note, like a whale's call. It then leapt from Casey's arms and took flight, circling the three of them overhead.
