He couldn’t help but think that he failed in that moment. She needed him, and he was having his turn living without her. He was going on hiking trips like the one that injured him. He was taking girl after girl out for coffee. One of them was his in with Rocket. It was for work, sure, but it wouldn’t assuage her insecurity to know that it happened at all.

Casey felt her eyes on him. She looked like she was ready to burst into tears, and he was at a loss as to what to do in that moment. He certainly couldn’t leave her like this.

Sometimes he wanted to take her by the hand and run off. As if they could outrun their problems together. It’s what he was so good at, after all. But he stayed, clasping one of her hands in his.

Casey moved, sitting upright. He started to lean in, trying to bury her face in his toned chest. He wasn’t sure how to close this gap, try as he might. And by God did he try, when he reunited with her. ”…I do. I just… don’t know what to do sometimes. When you first met me, it was after I disappeared for 3 months. But right now, we have to stay together.”

He bit his lip, curling it up. All he could think to do is offer her an out. “We can go to Meteor Falls, and just lay in the pool at the bottom together. It’s what I always did when I got overwhelmed. And it seems like you have a lot going on. And maybe… you need to step away from all of it for a bit. We should just turn our phones off, and lay together. The rest of our lives can wait for us.”

C'mon meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare

He smiled when she told him it was just nausea. “…I’m glad that you’re okay. I… we should get you some melatonin, until a doctor has a chance to figure this out.”

Casey felt her eyes on him. She looked concerned, before turning and curling up until she was comfortable. Casey turned and laid next to her, his eyes catching the light of the room. “I… don’t know what I want sometimes.”

Sometimes he wanted to run back to Meteor Falls. To lay in the mineral-rich pool at the bottom, and hear the roar of the waterfall. By himself. Just thinking about it made his heart grow still. Things were turbulent for the two of them, and it’d been a while since either of them had that kind of stillness. Maybe he’d have to take her sometime, so she’d get it.

But right now, he had to be strong for her. Casey curled around her, pushing his chest into her shoulder. He planted a kiss atop her head.. ”…This is gonna bring us together. And maybe… it’s our one shot at some stability in our lives. I want this too..” He blinked. He wasn’t sure what else to say. Words more or less fell out of him, as if he’d sprung a leak. Casey moved to raise a hand, slowly twirling her pale hair around a finger.

A gacha chimchar is being sent to BARNABY FINCH, in exchange for a Duraludon. After his last dip in Meteor Falls, Casey was scooping up any dragon he could.

Casey blocked her, leading Summer to reassure him. It’s not what he thinks. He swallowed a lump in his throat, and followed her. “…So long as you’re okay, that’s what matters.”

Casey felt her reach for one of his hands, and pull it to her face. With a finger, he traced the length of her cheekbone, looking into her eyes. He could stand, he just needed to rehabilitate his body a little more.

She led him back to the bedroom by the hand she took, and he followed. While she changed, Casey averted his eyes, and thought for a second. All of his jewelry was intact, but he had to get out of these jeans. “I… Okay. I just need to know that you’re okay.” He darted down the hall, to what was presumably Knox’s room. He came back, having left a neatly folded pair of black jeans on his bed, and stealing a pair of track-pants with a drawstring.

Walking back into the room, she beckoned him to join her on the bed. When he climbed atop the mattress, Summer clasped his hands in hers again. When she told him, he didn’t know what to say. ”…Summer. If this is what you want, I’ll do my best to raise our child.” He blinked. He wasn’t sure what else to say. They’d fooled around before, but he didn’t expect it to take this time. The idea of it was terrifying, mostly because of the pale, sickly look she had. But Casey glanced aside, thinking for a second. He then leaned in, planting a kiss on her forehead.

Casey managed to clear the mission with Summer Atreides , sure. And he’d experienced worse. But he was still trembling. And despite her being worse for wear, she had it in her to bring him to their bed. Casey rolled over, laying on one side.

Casey wasn’t so much injured out there, as he was reliving old head trauma, from the combination of being Screeched at, and hitting his head when he tried to stand too quickly. Shots to the head were fine every now and then, but that Banette made him need to vomit. It was a miracle then, that he held it down.

Casey rolled over again, reading her note. He couldn’t help but notice that her warmth wasn’t by him in the bed. Summoning what will he had, he rolled out of bed. Casey landed on all fours, and slowly stood, with better luck this time. He then trudged towards the study, with a little more confidence in his walk.

To his surprise, Summer was there, in the doorway. She was incredibly pale looking, and no doubt had to vomit earlier. Casey’s eyes widened, and he walked over, blocking the path between her and the computer. ”You’re in no condition to be doing this. You’re gonna call in sick for the day, and… I don’t wanna lose you..” He blinked. He bit his lip, and couldn’t help but look concerned.

Casey looked back to Summer, and smiled. He couldn’t help but shed a tear as she reassured him. He wasn’t sure what to say. “…We’ll leave together, then..”

He had to tease her about this. Casey bared his teeth, in a cat-like grin. “I guess we’re like teens in the woods after all..” Casey said, holding back a little giggle. For all his bluster, he just liked being with her.

Casey fell, and on either side was propped up by Summer and his Incineroar. They’d cleared the objective, sure. But he’d have to sleep this off and get a protein shake in him in the morning. He started by letting his Charizard loose, both to get away, and to let the tail light illuminate the forest clearing.

He was able to stand for now, and slowly climbed down onto the back of his dragon. Casey then reached a hand out to Summer. “We’ll leave together, then.”

STUMBLE IN SOMNAMBULANCE SO/PRE DAWN CORPSES COME TO LIFE.

POSTED ON Aug 3, 2022 9:00:48 GMT

The thought of giving into his feelings, of leaving behind a mess felt good to ponder. When this side of him came out, he couldn’t help but shed a tear. Casey was too far from home to lay down in the water at Meteor Falls and calm his nerves.

Casey looked back to Summer, and smiled. He craned his neck to look up at her from the ground. “…Maybe that’s not the right thing to say. I just… don’t want life to keep passing me by. But… thanks. For what it’s worth, I get so turned on when you get all fired up.”

The conversation took a turn. Knox had to be one bad dude to get her all worked up like this. But Casey had a twinkle in his eye, catching the faint glow of the moon through the treeline on his face. “I need to atleast try. I can’t help but think that we’d get along.” Casey smiled, winking at her. His hope was that he’d get to see that dream of his again, with everyone happy and safe, and able to set aside time for getting together. He thought this, blissfully unaware that Danny and Serena broke up already.

Casey tried to stand, but his leg buckled, sending his head into the ground. It took all of his core strength to not vomit, upon revising this unique kind of head pain. His necklace, bearing a green mega-stone pendant, made a sound as it glanced off a rock, sparing him a blow to the solar plexus from Mother Nature.

With the battle over, Incineroar stomped over. He then hefted Casey up, and gave him a shoulder to lean on. Casey smiled at Summer, and offered her his hand again. “I’ll make my way out soon enough. What I need you to do… is get some rest. It’s been a long night, and I’m worried about you.”

knox prescott likes this

The mention of not being noticed had him nearly say that he was good at being ignored. But he held his tongue.

Casey glanced aside, and thought for a second. “…I’d do it again too. I hate to say it, but I’m itching for a fight.”

The mention of the two of them fighting had him concerned. He had to set aside any lingering doubts, and try to stand by her. Casey was still stunned, but he rolled over onto his back again so he could muster deeper breaths and talk. “It’s a long-shot, but what if he and I talked? I’m… kinda like that too sometimes. You’re lucky to not have to see it. I’m sure we’ll see eye to eye on something.” But he hadn’t met knox prescott yet. He was just going off of everything he’d heard. But with his new lease on life, his stubborn nature, he could probably handle another guy like him.

Casey tried to stand, eventually sitting upright and giving up there. That screech sure turned his muscles into jelly for the time being. But he’d bounce back, with enough time and whey protein.

Incineroar gave up their spat, using Fire Fang and knocking Kecleon out. The orange light flickered, letting the two see around them a little better. Casey then noticed that they’d been followed yet again. A chill ran up Summer’s back and she flinched. Casey almost wanted to yell “Only I can do that!”

With the three Pokémon between them, Gengar was on the ropes. Incineroar climbed a tree, then flashed orange. It did a Flare Blitz, here interpreted as a classic spear-tackle to pin the escaping Gengar. He held it down, and whistled for the others to jump in.

Casey was still fishing for a name. It wasn’t that he didn’t remember people, he just hit his head 6 months ago, and hadn’t seen Quinn in 12. It didn’t help too that he’d been ambushed by a Banette recently, and felt a screech rattle through his bones. He’d been through worse, all things considered.

Casey smiled, trying to skate through this conversation as best he could without a name to go by. Quincy? Was that it? He narrowed his eyes for a second, before being pulled back to the conversation. “Yeah, man. It’s good to see you.”

The rings that lined his fingers jingled as he retracted his hand, the drink having been accepted. Casey sipped his drink, and bit his lip. He’d had a lot going on, but he had to keep it light for now.

He smiled, and thought for a second. Casey laughed a little at the mention of their skirmish outside Quinn’s place of work. ”Nah, man. I’m doing radio for Hoenn Broadcast Station now. And still hiking everywhere. What’s new with you, man?.” He blinked, putting his hands on his hips and leaning to one side. His arms had fish-scales and fins tattooed on them, and they seemed to be white-knuckle gripping his hips. He’s trying so hard to not look like he was still shaken by the attack last night.

Casey sat on the docks, opening up his phone. An encrypted text told him to go to the docks, and pick Sharpedo teeth to raise revenue. To prove he was a good earner. He smiled at the prospect, feet hanging off the edge. He wore all his jewelry, swim trunks, and nothing else. His shirtless body had a red Gyarados printed on his back, with his arms covered in fish fins and scales.

Casey looked down, and let his Croconaw into the water. The big guy couldn’t help but pick fights, so this’d be over quick.

Just as Croconaw used Screech underwater, Casey felt a pair of eyes on him. The sound wave sent a ripple through the water, drawing not one but three fins headed their way. He turned around, and narrowed his eyes. “…I suppose we’ll be working together for the next ten minutes. My name is Casey Maverick. And you are…” He flashed a gentle smile, and glanced away. Why, with his angular face and red hair, he looked like Glitch from the right angles.

Casey managed to clear the mission with Summer Atreides, sure. And he’d experienced worse. But he was still trembling. Still unable to get on Charizard and fly out of Fortree without falling off and dying. So there he was, picking up painkillers and two sodas at the drug store.

Casey walked out through the glass double-doors, and felt the sun hit him. He kind of regretted wearing all black jewelry, but he couldn’t abandon his chain, to which he’d fixed a mega-stone. When he glanced up, he saw a familiar head of dark hair moving across one of the rope bridges.

He’d forgotten his name, but remembered where they’d met. Casey popped open one drink, and had just enough to swallow his pills. He then looked up, from the bottom of a ladder. ”It’s been a while, man. Glad you’re still in one piece.” He blinked, offering the other can in an outstretched hand. His arms were lined with printed fish scales and fins.

Simply put, Casey had too many Pokémon. Not only that, but he didn’t have time for all of them. His Drifloon is going to hope einar in the hope that maybe, he’ll return the favor, or pay it forward to someone else when he gets stronger. This is the one chance Casey has at solidarity between Rockets.

The little squeeze of her hand around his made him laugh a little. Maybe she just didn’t appreciate his little joke? They had to move on, before the day broke. Clearing out the forest so some grunts could move in unopposed was number one.

He bit his lip, and shook his head. It was so hard not to laugh when she was like this. And he was sure her brother would be there needling her too, if he had the chance. “Look. I’m just saying… we snuck upstairs and did it at a party, with easily a hundred people in attendance.”

The mention of the mansion changing hands left him with mixed feelings. He walked through the snow to sit down and talk to her in that thing. But, it was staying in the family, so to speak. He smiled at the idea. “It’s been a while since we’ve seen them. Have you like… talked to those guys recently?.” But he wasn’t one to talk, having lost track of not one, but three cousins of his. Melody was in the Elite Four, and he’d have to work his way up the ladder to be worth her time. The other two? Just gone, like he was all those months ago.

Casey could barely stand, but he managed to roll over onto his stomach and watch the battle.

Night Slash worked like a charm, sending Banette reeling back. It leapt into a tree, trying to counter with Sucker Punch in anticipation of the next attack. It was clearly panting though, and wouldn’t be able to withstand another hit. While Casey was stunned, a Kecleon that’d disguised itself as tall grass made off with his shirt. The two wild pokemon were working in concert to prank campers. Incineroar jumped in and grabbed Kecleon, having noticed this a second too late.

Incineroar opened with Cross Chop, nearly totaling Kecleon. However, with it taking on the fighting type, the two engaged in that classic pro-wrestling setpiece where two contenders slap eachother across the chest until one relents.

The idea of a sleepover in these conditions was exciting. He just hadn’t packed for the occasion. He smiled a little, thinking about the two of them having to share a sleeping bag. Waking up the next morning and grilling whatever they could catch over a bonfire… When Summer reached for his hand, he clasped his hand in hers.

He then had the nerve to poke her back, as if the two of them were being snuck up on. He snickered, but then in the corner of his eye he noticed something. A big teddy bear, worn down by the weather. No doubt left behind by some child.

He pretended not to notice, at first. He had to address her. “I dunno. I just think… this is exactly like when a couple goes to a horror movie so they can hold eachother. And that it’s not a big deal.”

Casey slowly let go of her hand, moving to inspect the discarded bear. “That’s great. I’m glad you were able to put down another housing deposit.” He still had some lingering doubts. Two houses. Who knows who’d be coming and going. He was so close to just caving and calling Trish. But then, the bear craned it’s neck to look at him.

The bear started to twist, before turning inside out. Out came a Banette, grabbing him and screaming. Casey was stunned, and in that instance, it used Screech, leaving him drained. He fell onto his back, heart pounding but his limbs hadn’t the energy to move yet. A pokeball rolled out of one pocket, and Incineroar popped out to run interference.
