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 caught the humid glare of the sun off the nearby ocean, and compensated with incredibly powerful air conditioning units.

Casey smiled, and dropped a blue and yellow pokeball at his feet. A blue creature skirting the line between flotation device and manta ray sprung forth, kind of floating there for a second before he scooped it up into his arms. Just a baby! Beaming up at Melody with its featureless white eyes.

She then promised a challenge he'd have to take seriously. He smiled eagerly, and nodded. "I look forward to the day we do meet in battle. It'd be no fun if you just rolled over at the first sign of trouble. Anyways, that'll have to happen some other time." Casey said, trying to table this conversation so they could move onto the other topic she brought up.

He nodded at the big Mantyke in his arms, then back at her. "So, I caught this baby recently. They already like me, and I started giving her like... the meat cereal that cops give to their Mightyenas." And then, he remembered he was going somewhere with this train of thought. "I'm putting her through her first contest, soon. It's important that I get my name out there, and that she gets to play with the others. Being in the sea is like the grocery store to me. Everyone's just... alone in public."

^{Melody Miro}

TL;DR: He meets her challenge, with no hesitation. Anything less would be disrespectful to her.

Route 115. The route where the grassland flanking Rustboro on all sides met the gorgeous Meteor Falls, a cave system whose mirrorlike rivers helped reflect the ambient blue light, bathing the entire cave. Trainers gathered at the edge of the water to battle and show off, of all stripes.

Casey by contrast was atop a ledge, still feeling the adrenaline rush of nearly splitting his skull on the rocks. He leaned over to pick up the pokeball, cramming it into the pocket of his smooth track-pants. Turning aside, he saw that that stiff, lifeless man laughing at his dismay, and even talking down to him.

He seemed to ignore the Whimsicott infront of him for the moment, watching him set time aside to fight Carkoal. Casey looked irritated, but he spoke with force and not malice, in the way that someone would angrily do the dishes and get it right. "My dad works in the government. I could've had a 30 hour a week admin job until the sun burned out. Pension. Paternal leave to spend time with whichever mayor's idiot kid I get set up with. But here I am. Trying to rustle up a team to be on televised Pokemon Contests. To get my name out there. So I can parlay that into being a gym leader like my cousins."

He then withdrew Skarmory, and called Mantyke. The bluish creature towed the line between manta ray and flotation device for amateur swimmers. Mantyke seized the opportunity and used Air Cutter on Whimsicott. The injured and frankly harmless creature used Leech Seed, scattering plant growth along Mantyke and slowly licking its wounds. Casey threw a blue and yellow pokeball at it.

^{Amor Rose}

TL;DR: Not to get all anime here, but Casey got so mad that he said his mission statement outloud, instead of leaving it unsaid and obvious... on account of the everything about him.

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 stood on the opposite side of town to the department store and the art museum. People who congregated here did so with purpose. Nobody was out of place.

Casey's looked to the side and thought about it; about how their generation grew up with technology that made it easier than ever to be connected to one another. And that from a young age they were able to intuit how to use it. The thought of having to tie a letter to a taillow and send it off, and maybe not even have it delivered...

She beamed with joy upon him announcing that he was moving in. "I spent too long doing admin work for my dad for free. I saw you on TV and had to make something of myself." She jokingly jabbed his ribs, and would just feel bone! He was quite the tall, skinny guy!

He then heard that Melody had a gym leader position himself. "Wow! That's amazing! Just you wait, I'm putting a team together, so I can atleast attempt the league challenge. I'll surprise him, too." And then, her parents. "I'll talk to them as soon as I can. I just unpacked the other day. Have you talked to them lately? I mean... since you live in Sootopolis now."

^{Melody Miro}

TL;DR: Casey caught up with her!! And heard some stunning news about the little man.

The Lilycove Contest Hall. The dense, air-conditioned building on the southern side of the town at the very coast of the eastern seaboard. Trainers congregated here on a regular basis to engage in a different kind of contest. They seemed to move around the two, going about their business. Some in the lobby even huddled around blender devices that had four buttons instead of one.

Casey's eyes lit up when it turned out it wasn't a mistake. When he could still pick out his cousin's face from the crowd, after years of his dad being 'too busy' for family functions, and him not having the pokemon necessary to trek across the country himself. It was only now that his Barboach was finally a Whiscash, a surface wide enough that he could surf on its back down any sea.

She then ran up and squeezed him, nearly crushing the lanky swimmer/model in her grasp. Ontop of that, she'd grown taller than him?! "I'm moving here, actually. This is a major urban center, with lots of media infrastructure. I'm doing modeling, and I plan on doing pokemon contests soon."

He then heard that the youngest of the three, that baby boy, got a good job with the state. "Wow! That's crazy. He works in Mossdeep now?! I mean, I'm not moving there, but I wouldn't mind crossing the sea and visiting him. Have you heard from him lately?" And the nerve to tease him for being shorter than her! He let out a hearty laugh, and looked up at her. "You thought I was so much bigger than you because we were kids! Everyone's big to you when you're eight, even someone who's ten."

In exchange for Kabuto Celeste Abbiati offered a Drifloon. He hadn't the historical grounding necessary to take care of Kabuto, and hopefully it'd fit her well, Celeste's musing that all life came from the sea, and would eventually return to it would make sure of that. In return, he'd been gifted something soft and purple. He hadn't the pokedex necessary to know the rumors that they abducted people, but he had the bluster and confidence necessary to try and raise the playful thing.

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

POSTED ON May 11, 2021 1:48:40 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.

The sea was flanked on either side by a string of rocky platforms, Dewford behind it, and Slateport ahead. Trainers young and old who had a love for the sea could be seen either staying afloat under their own power or flotation devices, having pitched battles with all manner of sea-creatures.

Casey Maverick found himself there, atop a rocky outcropping. He had a phone at arm's length away as he slowly undressed, taking pictures the entire time. He'd have to dm the moderators of the platforms he was on to see what'd get him banned, but keeping the dutch angle shot of his weird lanky swimmer body in navy-colored neoprene trunks was non-negotiable. He dropped a pokeball and his Skarmory dutifully carried away everything, save for one pokeball.

He then dropped the blue and yellow ball on the rocks, and dove in the water. As much of an attention-seeker as he was, he needed a break. He whistled, and invited the Mantyke to chase him. Inadvertently, he'd kicked the water too hard, producing not only a loud smack like a fist on drywall but also a jet of water that'd fly at another nearby swimmer; a muscular lad who seemed nice enough, who goes by @danton .

^@danton

TL;DR: Casey inadvertently does a faux-pas on the sea, this supposedly neutral ground.

Route 115. The route where the grassland flanking Rustboro on all sides met the gorgeous Meteor Falls. The beach to the side had a steady stream of people in and out, but further inland, the two men rustled up wild pokemon in the grass.

Casey saw Amor cut to the chase and catch Roggenrola, as he did with Cottonee. With the moment of quiet there was between the two, he cleared his throat. He jabbed a finger at his Axew and looked to Amor. "Besides, I think the little man could use a walk. Sometimes I'll set my Mantyke loose in the sea for that very reason."

He walked over and scaled the ledge, nearly falling and splitting his skull in the process. He had more hope than willpower, and more of either than strength. Casey stepped into the tall grass, picking up the pokeball that belonged to him. During this process he found himself face to face with a Carbink, a little geode standing under its own power.

He called upon his rather temperamental Skarmory, and shouted. "G-Get that thing away from me!" Skarmory, the round bird, flashed its talons, using Autotomize and growing more aerodynamic again. Carbink posed no threat to Casey, and even beamed up at him with its soft eyes. It then pelted the bird with Power Gem, a storm of glistening shards of rock. Skarmory was scratched, and retaliated by using Metal Claw, strafing the rock with its talons. The rock was injured, but it still stood, and Casey hurled a pokeball at it. It wiggled on the ground in anticipation.

^{Amor Rose}

TL;DR: Eager to push his buttons, Casey tries to spin his temper tantrum as a positive thing, then almost eats shit climbing up and claiming his reward.

Route 115. The route where the grassland flanking Rustboro on all sides met the gorgeous Meteor Falls. The arrival of not one but two wild pokemon seemed to justify his petty, mean behavior. He scaled the rocky ledge overlooking the beach, getting closer to the battle on the tall grass that was unfolding.

Casey saw Roggenrola battling the man's Axew, a protracted battle fit for the small dragon. That left him with... Cottonee? He had to think of some way to not wipe this thing out immediately; he had this urge to catch it.

He was in the presence of Amor Rose , and was told that his "rambunctiousness" was disturbing the beach. What was next? Was he going to be called a "braggart" or a "poltroon"? The man simply had no swag. "This worked out in our favor, didn't it? You seem to be adjusting to it just fine." He said flippantly, before turning his attention to Cottonee.

He called upon his rather temperamental Skarmory, and shouted. "Use Autotomize! Let there be no chance that it gets the jump on you!" Skarmory, the round bird, seemed to smooth out and grow more angular, and more aerodynamic. Cottonee retaliated with Charm and seemed to blunt any future attacks from the temperamental bird. "Now, use Metal Claw! Anything more will knock it out, anything less and we'll be here all day!" He yapped, as Skarmory agreed and strafed the little bundle of fuzz with its paring-knifeesque talons. It retaliated with Endeavor, and a similar injury was inflicted on Skarmory. Casey grew more impatient, and threw a pokeball at Cottonee.

^{Amor Rose}

TL;DR: Eager to get things over with, Casey dismisses Amor's comments and tries to catch Cottonee.

The Lilycove Contest Hall. The dense, air-conditioned building on the southern side of the town at the very coast of the eastern seaboard. Trainers congregated here on a regular basis to engage in a different kind of contest, a battle of aesthetics and mind-games rather than raw power. It was this type of venue that the two of them seemed drawn to; one out of career instincts and the other out of sheer curiosity.

Casey tried to push his way in, only for the electronic double-doors to cave, and leave him to fall and eat shit on the thinly carpeted tile floor. Marveling at the size of the venue, the place that could seat thousands if need be, he looked around. The fluorescent lights were a neutral white, careful to not tint people's carefully chosen outfits. He stood there, his reddish pink undercut standing on his head and framing his face like leaves atop a strawberry.

He stood there in his navy-blue tracksuit and pikachu-yellow crop-top, and with the second of attention he had, he had his own professional obligation to take care of. He stood slowly and kind of swung his hips, trying to flash the logos at as many people as possible. He'd been sent the package by a local streetwear brand, and had to fulfill his part of the deal to keep it.

Noticing a vaguely familiar face, framed by pink hair in a relaxed ponytail, he walked towards her with a slight grin, and waited for a moment to address her. "Is that... Melody! Oh my! How have you been?!" He asked, with more hope than willpower. He didn't know how to not look like a fool if it was a stranger that he'd just accosted.

^{Melody Miro}

TL;DR: Casey moved to Lilycove, and made his way to the contest hall. After a moment to get his bearings, he reaches out to his cousin.

Casey by contrast was tumbling down one of the muddy deposits along the side of Meteor Falls, dumped out in 115 on his ass. He felt as embarrassed as he was pissed off, having scuffed up a pair of half-knee-high shoes that sort of skated the line between sneaker and boot.

He was in the presence of Amor Rose _ and didn't seem to care much for him, though that could be his mood. Seeing patches of tall grass on the horizon, he dug through the pokeballs in his navy-blue track pants. He made sure to twist his hips so the logo was flashed at the group by the sea, as he was contractually obligated to spread the word of this Lilycove-ran streetwear brand.

He called upon his rather temperamental Skarmory, a bird that looked like a knife block as much as it did a predator of the sky. He whistled with two fingers in his mouth, siccing it on the tall grass to rustle up some wild pokemon.

^{Amor Rose}

TL;DR: Eager to blow off some steam, Casey goes out of his way to make pretty much everything mad at him and aware of his presence.
