kyle yawns as he sits by the roots of the large tree.

the nice thing about his title is that he can easily use it to call bluffs and stop advances of the opposing faction's lower ranks without doing anything. he hopes something similar could happen now that he's been assigned to guard the tree.

it must be nice, he thinks, to be a rocket guard. their grunts have the option to disguise themselves as civilians to increase the risk of league's tree, while rocket can strongman their defense since it's socially acceptable for them to act rough and tough.

kyle pulls out his phone. this job was supposed to be done in pairs, and the one he requested to do it was currently out of the picture for now.

did you get our coffee yet?


he had requested him before their shift came. he figured it was fine since ollie is usually friendly with these kinds of things.

the downpour grows stronger as they get closer. kyle doesn't risk their distance, but he still brings them close enough to be in range for most projectile attacks.

his driving turns haphazard as the kyogre notices them. frenzied eyes follow their boat as it narrowly misses its origin pulse from the erratic motions of the boat.

there is no steady aiming for them, but the kyogre's size gives them enough to work on at least.

"this is as close as i can get," he tells eddie. "fire your strongest shot!"

kyle's ability as an avatar manifests in the sudden appearance of ash, taking form of two beasts.

one was a suicune, who jumps into the water and momentarily freezes the seas with sheer cold in a pitiful attempt of holding the kyogre in place. the other was a raikou, who finds footing atop the ice and fires a zap cannon in the same vein with paralysis.

he has been in this situation before. he knows this wouldn't be enough to knock it down, but it's enough for it to acknowledge them.

he had a feeling that she was one of his people: nerds who stuff themselves in the room to partake in their hobby for periods of time. he supposed he was wrong if she keeps connections around.

"for practice?" he asks, trying to clarify the reason for the invitation. "i-i'm down!"

he hadn't been too engrossed on the subject, having only learned of it passively with his work environment back then.

it's only when the world was near to its collapse that kyle finds these kinds of things interesting. nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and fond memories of blackthorn induce him to act enthusiastic.

"are you close friends with him?" she did mention not visiting as she used to, so probably not. "if it's at pacifidlog, then it has to be nice and quiet. i'm definitely down to scout new hangout places."

kyle purposely steers away from the sensitive topic and focuses on the more casual subject of their conversation.

daybreak [gym]

it made him feel self-centered to take a spot from a gym's congested queue in the midst of the hustle and bustle of their region, especially when he's in a position not to need the badge, but nothing beats the experience of playing within a gym leader's playground.

their meeting during vct was a reminder that littleroot's was one of the gyms he has yet to try.

"good morning," he'd greet as he enters the quaint room where the helpers of the gym guided him. "hope i didn't come at a bad time."

he says it's morning, but the time says it's closer to afternoon, right after lunch more specifically. kyle did arrive at the scheduled time, but the slip of the tongue leaves less to be desired from the challenger's inferred mannerisms.

body language suggests he feels relaxed for the challenge. for the socially awkward, not having to maintain eye contact when they talk helps.

"thanks, king."

kyle grabs the crown and fits it on his head. by the time he finishes fixing it, noah already has their food on the table, alongside a statement that offers his betrothed with a meal.

"thank you, mister faber," he responds. a hand takes one of the burgers, unwrapping them slowly as he lets the crinkles accompany his next retort.

"how does it feel to have your first date with someone who finally shares a surname with you?"

it's a trivial thing for kyle, and for most cases, noah as well. the difference between them is that noah takes the smallest of steps as big leaps for him, regardless of how far they've already come as a couple.

he smiles longingly, enjoying the simple interaction.

with a faint smile on his lips, he playfully rolls his eyes as they switch their roles. of course one of them has to be responsible at any given time.

"it just doesn't look good when they don't pair up, you get me?"

he takes off his pants in favor of noah's, effectively switching up their outfits for the date. the worries pointed out by noah remains relevant as he tries it on, but no complaints come from him.

kyle's eyes remain on noah, watching him rush to make up for the time wasted here, as he fixes his own clothes.

"you just have to dress up fast then."

SMEARGLE SWARM (HH)
POSTED ON Feb 3, 2024 16:58:38 GMT
kyle lopez Avatar
the collection of dogs in the same place of interest seemed more than a coincidence to bait kyle in, and it was successful.

he dons his sygna suit and activates it with the appearance of his smeargle. the sense of being a michelangelo of their generation fills him as they sync, ordering his smeargle to imprison each of the wild pokemon to stop them from wasting their precious sketch.

pseudo-avatarship takes place afterwards, with kyle borrowing his pokemon's moves. as he attempts roar of time, a sense of dread weighs him down with pressure.

a sigil appears above him, and he feels the similar implications of imprison being set upon him.

his heart starts to beat fast. he had a similar warning before, when he attempted to break through the limitations of space travel set during the meteno crisis.

his smeargle turns his back on his trainer, sensing the uneasiness he rarely felt during syncs that differs from the fear and panic that occurs during fights against the supernatural.

kyle swallows, gives up on a strat to ensure a capture of one, and tosses a pokeball at one of the smeargle.

he blinks when elisabeth fails to finish a sentence, but lets it die off when she does.

"he likes you enough to force himself to get interested," he affirms her. "maybe your definition differs from his, but it's the truth that he gives you attention that very few people get from him."

it is exactly because he is his friend that he's telling this.

"you're also putting up with him regardless of how much you say you don't like him." she probably doesn't realize the contradiction of her statements and her actions, kyle thinks. "is it possible that there's irony in your words?"

he teases this time, hinted with a playful smirk, in an attempt to inch towards the underboss' fragile interior.

harcourt. the surname makes him smile out of reminiscence.

it puts his interest from the topic elsewhere. freya's own connections start to pique his curiosity, especially since he knows that the number of families that know of the language was abysmally small.

"how about the ones residing at meteor falls?" he asks. "you know, those that open up their dragon's den every new year?"

maybe freya's parents were just a family friend of theirs or something, much like his relationship with blackthorn's own clan of dragons.

"have you tried talking to them with draconic when you visited?"

it's just an assumption that everyone visits. hoenn is small, and anything interesting that happens in the region is bound to get attention.

he always forgets to introduce himself, figuring he'd only meet people once or twice. it was the other's introduction that reminds him that this was common courtesy.

"oh, right. you can call me kyle."

as soon as they were situated in the boat, kyle gives the growlithe one last scratch by the chin before starting the motor.

kyle doesn't pull the stops when he speeds through the water. winds from their speed and the noise from the boat itself makes it difficult to talk, but kyle raises the volume of his voice to compensate.

"we'll do a drive by! feel free to go all in on your attacks," he briefs eddie. "we won't be able to take it down anyways, so we just need to let it know it's a nuisance around here."

it wasn't safe, but it definitely has the least risk compared to the other approaches his daredevil friends have attempted.

was he really that smart or does he just have common sense?

"that's how i got the position, i guess."

maybe that was what sets him apart from the rest of hoenn's best. while they may have the actual academic knowledge, the social standing, the silver tongue, and other advantages in life, he got the best gift of them all: common sense.

it's a shame it doesn't work anymore when it comes to hoenn's natural disasters.

"at least we can save the blooms now. come on, let's dig it up."

with the source of warmth nearby, kyle doesn't shy away from going all out with digging anymore.

he grumbles, but in a way that plays with the bit they were doing rather than genuine complaining.

just as the conversation is about to die, the tunnel they are traveling to starts to widen, only to be met with a wall. it seemed like solid rock at first, but a close look shows that it's a result of a cave in.

"looks like we're at the 'end of the tunnel', am i right?"

he doesn't laugh, but he makes the joke, likening it to cian's journey to attaining the champion rank while simultaneously being literally at the end of a tunnel.

kyle knocks on it.

"do you think it's safe to blow it up? it looks like there's something behind this."
