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. The Rockets would recognize his pinched face and reddish pink hair... almost. It'd be vaguely familiar, but off somehow. Like seeing paprika next to chili powder on the spice rack.

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 Future Sight." What didn't look like an attack certainly felt like one. Like being a deer in headlights, watching the doe-eyed catfish hum with psychic energy that it hadn't the self-awareness to wreak havoc with. A wave of force would come, eventually. Eaq4SsuG +50

edge of the world -duo wild (water/flying/dragon)

POSTED ON Jun 7, 2021 4:24:04 GMT

Huh. He'd broken her calm. Her moment of fulfilling a long-held dream. An incredulous expression turned on him, and he felt her eyes, even as he looked aside and Mantyke fetched the blue and yellow ball for him. He thought for a moment about what he'd said. Did it really sound like he made a pass at her? Normally, he was a shameless sort of person, but this caught him dead in his tracks, and his face went beet-red. Should he brute-force the conversation and throw up a new topic, or backtrack and tell her that he's gay?

Settle down. That was... wow. Casey seemed rather relieved this time, when two wild pokemon showed themselves. When the moment of stillness broke down. One of them seemed to be right up her alley, given the pokemon she'd gone for so far. A Bagon, a crested lizard on the rocks, that seemed unsure about the prospect of swimming.

Casey tried speaking to cut the tension, but quickly gave up. "Yeah. We uh... This place has its scars. The best thing anyone can do right now is see what they can help someone. Alright, Mantyke. Just strafe this thing for a minute. I don't know what it even is."

It looked like yet another fish that seemed to parody human appearances, in addition to being an animal approaching human levels of awareness. A creature skirting the line between jellyfish and flotation device. It used Absorb, trying to pull nutrients from Mantyke and deflate it. It was stunned for a minute, and retaliated with Air Cutter, without even being told. A thin line fighting against the current to try and hit Jellicent. Casey felt a bead of sweat run down his face, and threw a pokeball before the situation could get worse.

^{Evette Moreau}

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

They could talk more about swimming upstream later. Casey flinched when Quinn stated that he didn't know about battling. Casey himself was no expert. He only thought of being good enough to get on TV. "Well, we'll figure it out. There's no other option, now that they've seen us." He said, as some of the Primeapes had the bright idea to scale the wall they stood on again. So much for being safe. Casey had a devilish grin spread across his face, reaching the skin around his eyes.

It was unclear if it was a purple eyeliner fitting his thin face, or bags under his eyes. His eyes narrowed at the Primeapes that weren't subdued. "I've got this." He dug a hand through one of his long zip-up pockets, digging fingers into a pokeball nervously. One tried to launch into Fury Swipes, and failed to make its mark. 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.

^{Quinn Riley}

TL;DR: Reject Society. Return to Monkey.

glitch vs casey H✩T

POSTED ON Jun 3, 2021 5:48:20 GMT

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 stood on the beach, looking like a a fish drowning on dry land. Eyes dilated, covered in a thin layer of sweat. He had but one thing to thank for not already passing out. He'd swapped his usual tracksuit for a pair of black denim shorts. He reached for a cooler that was left on the sand, and peeled it open. A tall plastic bottle labeled Feraligatrade stood out, covered on all sides with condensation just like him. He popped the cap, and swallowed a good 1/5 of the cyan liquid.

He didn't hear the footsteps in the sand over the clamor of the crowd, but he turned to see, and arched a brow. Sweat kept thick hair from the top of his head stuck to the buzzed parts of his undercut like leaves atop a strawberry. Casey let loose his Staravia, and waved it away dismissively. The bird began stretching out, and then took off.

Casey smiled, and it reached the edges of his face. "Hey. It's been a while. I've been meaning to visit, I just got done unpacking in Lilycove the other day."

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. "I haven't seen Glitch in quite some time, but yes. I was lucky enough to bump into Melody recently, but I suspect that they're both busy."

Then, huh? W-w-w-w-w-w-what? DJ, run that back. This was a Contest administrator? Casey straightened out his back, and ran a hand through his hair so it wouldn't cling to the buzzed sides of his head as it dried. "Not really. I was in a firefighter calendar that went viral, then I got into modeling. I'm putting a team together. I don't know if I'm ready yet."

Casey had a weak grin, watching Dugtrio nearly overturn Zac's drink. He whistled, and Mantyke peeled itself off the sand, shaking itself off like a wet dog. It floated, not unlike a butterfly. "Seems like he's restless. Have you let him out to play very often?"

Casey washed ashore, alongside a blue creature skirting the line between manta ray and flotation device. He stood up in black denim shorts, seemingly dry due to the creature's ability to wick away moisture. He stuck out a thin hand with long fingers to meet Zac's paw, and looked up at him.

Casey didn't catch that man's name, and so it took a second. Zac would be able to see the gears turning in his head. He accepted the drink and popped the tab. A jet of carbon vapor tinged with cola flavor hit his nose, and his eyes lit up. "Yeah. I uh...... Melody's dad is brothers with my dad. I saw her on TV and knew I could do more with my life."

Casey swallowed a lump in his throat. He was parched, and would without shame down a 1/5 of the can right away.

edge of the world -duo wild (water/flying/dragon)

POSTED ON Jun 2, 2021 21:43:48 GMT

Huh. She'd relayed her story, and he thought for a minute. Less of a coastal region, and more landlocked. More densely populated, too. She didn't have much of an accent. Could this mean being from a more metropolitan area, or... a fledgling media career? A need to be palatable to everyone back home.

Casey hadn't thought much about it. If it was more densely populated there, why move here? That's where the money and media infrastructure is. She could see the gears turning in his head, but he's not coming up with anything.

It was a miracle that he wasn't even shorter than this girl, all things considered. "That's interesting. Are you moving in here? Like.... did you pick a city to settle down in? I have a spare room in Lilycove, if you need a couch to crash on." He was then so rudely interrupted by not one, but two pokemon flanking them. One from above, and another dredged up from the water, presumably by Mantyke.

It looked like some kind of fish approaching human intelligence. But unlike the humble primates that simply had a part of human nature in them, this fish seemed like a gross parody of a human appearance. He'd get bored of it quickly, but he wanted it for now. "Mantyke, use Air Cutter!" He yelled, followed by a thin wave rolling against the current against the creature. The little fish responded with Confusion. An invisible attack that caused a headache and an astonished cry in Mantyke. He hurled a bright pink pokeball at it, hearing a metal on metal 'ting' sound.

You Again?! A Family Reunion!!

POSTED ON Jun 2, 2021 3:45:08 GMT

The Lilycove Contest Hall. The dense, air-conditioned building on the southern side of the town at the very coast of the eastern seaboard. It sat near the Lilycove Drydock, the place where passenger and cargo ships often parked.

He raised both eyebrows at that. Despite this, he wouldn’t pursue that line of conversation. Casey tugged at the lapels of his shirt to straighten it out. The navy-blue tracksuit that looked like it’d never been ironed. He then glanced aside at Melody,

Casey nodded at Melody, and his face softened a bit. "Oh, they’re... mostly normal. It’s this marine biology student." And then, he remembered he was going somewhere with this train of thought. "We communicate in post-it notes on most days, but we get along just fine. It’s like we’re not in the same place at the same time that often. You should visit sometime. I got really good at cooking all of a sudden."

He said confidently, having bought a pressure cooker. Casey dug a pokeball from one pocket, calling back Mantyke in a red beam. He crammed the metal ball into his pants pocket, and zipped it up. It was long enough to hold atleast six; long enough to shoplift in.

^{Melody Miro}

TL;DR: He’s forgetting to ask important questions.

what was i supposed to say?? [dw/c]

POSTED ON Jun 1, 2021 15:53:58 GMT

Route 107. The route where the east coast of the small island community of Dewford meets the open sea. Trainers who haven't yet the means to freely travel the sea skate past this area on their way from Dewford to Slateport.

Suddenly, the water rippled, folding around Horsea's distended snout. A compressed wave pushed against the gentle current, striking Casey from behind. He was spun around and sent flying back towards a rocky outcropping, like Goku being punched real hard. He landed with a soft thud, the waves of which gently reverberated back out. Not just the bones in his back, but the muscles stung too. He'd have to sit here with his feet planted on a little bump, until he could muster the strength to either scale the rock, or hail Skarmory back to pick him up.

He grimaced, looking around at the water. Were they under attack? Mantyke didn't seem to notice. This close to the surface, the sun seemed to give the water a light blue hue, against which Danton's mess of dark hair stood out. He clenched his fists, reclining against the rocks. Could it be?

He was then interrupted by the presence of Piplup, in a climate it was unsuited for. He whistled, trying to call Mantyke. It zeroed in on the small bird, instead of their intruder. "This isn't over. Anyways... Mantyke, use Takedown! Anything more will knock it out, anything less and we'll be here all day!" He called, followed by Mantyke careening into Piplup, bowling it over and sending it spinning up towards the surface. It responded with Bubble Beam, an effort that didn't connect due to Mantyke's Water Absorb. Casey then reached an arm back over his head and felt around, feeling the familiar smooth metal of a pokeball sitting out on the ledge. It felt sun-baked from being left behind by whoever was here last, and seared his fingers to touch like the coil on an electric stove. He flung it at Piplup, and the effort sent him back into the water, floating on his back.

^@danton

Note: Yeah, he'd be one of those sickos who's too old to be on the platform, lip synching to Bring Me The Horizon and Bladee. He'd get in fights with people who point at blocks of text.

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. The two of them were slowly carried towards a breakfast place. A diner selling staples, whose vague oily scent cut through the salt-dusted air and attacked their noses.

Casey seemed to regard the attention with a slight remove. A feeling that seemed to sink in almost immediately. He kept it at bay by putting on a smile, and even winking at any eye unlucky enough to catch his.

The two of them sat down at a booth, and Casey steepled his fingers at the table, covering his mouth. He thought for a second, then felt that atleast talking about it would bring him some relief. "Well, I'm not like... famous-famous. My dad is the treasury secretary of Fallarbor. Both of my cousins are gym leaders, and one of them is on TV all the time. I kinda look like them, but who knows how long I'll be able to coast on that?"

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. The two of them were in some sort of brick and mortar store next to the battle tent. Perhaps, it was an attempt to siphon off tourists after they were done embarrassing themselves.

Casey felt eyes on him as they descended the stairs. Nonetheless, the promise of lunch meant more to him than this interaction he was careening into.

Casey put on a sheepish grin, trying to spin the tooth-clenching feeling as wanting to put on a face for the eyes that met his. He then stretched out an arm to push out the metal bar connected to the glass door, holding it open for Danny. "Lead the way, man. I'm down to go wherever."

Little did either of them know... there was a natural at crime in his family. But! That's neither here nor there.
"Well, one of them is on TV for doing contests. I think it's... Melody? Her and the other one... they're both gym leaders. I'm not good at following that stuff either. If you get to a certain size, celebrities are your people and it's your business to know, but otherwise... It's power you could put towards anything else."

He said, as if he didn't slack off at the job his dad gave him by picking pointless fights in comment sections. Casey gestured towards the door with an outstretched thumb, and arched a brow. "We're pretty much done here, do you wanna grab lunch?" Not that he knew what that even looked like at this moment. Oh, well. Something would jump out at their noses, if they left the building and walked around a little.
