”I do, and it was a lesson reluctantly learned…”[break][break]

The mention of the memory, alone, had been more than enough to prompt a duo of sighs both in initial reaction, as well as the words had slipped from between his lips. A soft click of the tongue had joined it soon after, as well, though rather than expressing a look of disdain and annoyance, a soft smile surfaced upon his lips as he set the vegetables aside and instead turned towards another selection of cabinets.[break][break]

As if making a point, he picked out a larger, deeper pot before sitting it on the stovetop nearby.[break][break]

”If Hanabi had been born at the time, she definitely would’ve made the largest fuss of all…” he hummed lowly, taking care to fill the cookware with a copious amount of water before igniting the bottom. He reached over to the counter space behind him, quickly sifting through a bag and plucking out what seemed to be a couple of bags of kelp, mushrooms, and other ingredients for stock preparation before dropping them in. ”Needless to say, I’d rather not figure out how she’d react, so…”[break][break]

He glanced over his shoulder again, still with that same, softly amused smile.[break][break]

”...I do plan to make enough for leftovers spanning a few days. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind?”

”I’ve found a few more by some rubble.”[break][break]

Spoken not too long after the alert, all while the man and his own little penguin had strayed off a smaller ways away to examine more of the ocean floor for coverage (though he personally insisted that he would be fine once they’d found their quarry, encouraging his own companion to seek her new friend). With a careful hand, he shifted a few pieces of what seemed to be newly separated rocks and the like before uncovering a couple of familiar, heart shaped creatures.[break][break]

With a moment of pensive thought, he pulled a couple of vacant Pokeballs he’d brought with him before tapping them against them with intent of temporary lodgings and easier transportation, alike.[break][break]

He lifted his head afterwards, keeping a vigilant, yet passive eye towards his surroundings while ultimately gazing towards where the others were. ”Do you have an easier means to bring them back? I have a few empty Pokeballs to use for transport, if needed.”

He gave a sigh, side eying her while taking the microphone offered to him.[break][break]

”I suppose so…?” he mused at first, briefly glancing towards the television screen before them as a vaguely familiar loading screen brought itself into their line of view. The familiar sights of…oddly randomized scenery were an odd form of comfort to him. Nostalgic.[break][break]

”...Although if it isn’t to our heart’s content, it wouldn’t be done properly, to begin with…” he added after some time, watching as the countdown began to tick down from ten on the screen. ”Others be damned…”[break][break]

Words of a hypocrite, of course.

Although faint, there had been a touch of a smile that tugged upon his lips towards the start of his words. He’d never let himself display all of his feelings so willingly and eagerly for any and all to see, but truthfully speaking, there had always been some times even after their rejoining through which he’d found himself…skeptical. Anxious.[break][break]

The eagerness she displayed put him at ease for the moment.[break][break]

His gaze turned towards the aforementioned attraction as she suggested it, and as a hum left his lips, he absentmindedly and gently ran his thumb along the side of her hand. ”...It sounds a good of a suggestion as any,” he hummed with an able idleness, nodding before glancing towards her once more. ”...It does seem like a rather cliche way to end the outing, though~...”

If it was a mood or lighting issue, yes, they could fix it.[break][break]
They could.[break]
But did he want to do that to him?[break][break]

His lips pursed instinctively as he eyed the woman from the corner of his eye with note of her laugh, though it hadn’t taken long for him to gaze towards the two pandas afar, once more. Furrowing his brows, he thought on the suggestion for a little while (all while noting the shifts in their demeanors, much to his idle curiosity and concern, alike) before ultimately giving in and reaching for the capsule of the aforementioned Pokemon.[break][break]

He sent his precious Lucario out soon after.[break][break]
It only took a few minutes (and a largely discomforted look, he noticed) before he seemed to deem it fit to forcefully return himself back into his Pokeball.[break][break]

At that, Asahiko merely found himself staring down at the capsule he’d since returned to his belt. His brows furrowed deeply as he mentally solidified the particular look upon his Pokemon’s face prior to his retreat, and then went on to look over at the Pangoro as they seemed to have…oddly different demeanors, by then.[break][break]

”I—... Oddly enough, I…think the song might’ve actually worked? Based on that one’s body lingo, and…how quick Reiki was to evacuate himself.” He pressed his lips flatly as he shifted his attention towards the other bear. ”...That one still seems against the feeling, though.”

Though the click of his tone may have given the impression of disdain and distaste, the annoyance and anger that he faint hadn’t been nearly as prominent as the gesture implied. He sent a faint glare her way (instinctive, rather than genuine) at the tone of her words, and rather than making a further fuss, he merely gave a softened sigh of exasperation before continuing on alongside her.[break][break]

His hand remains with hers as they proceed, and his hand remains with hers even as they stop towards the span of the clearing. For several moments, he merely took care and time to overlook the expanses before and below them, and as both the gentle rush of wind met his ears alongside her words, he inhaled slowly and deeply with a nod.[break][break]

”...It is,” he murmured, absentmindedly squeezing her hand all the while. ”It truly is.”

”Of course I did. Look in the—...”[break][break]

He gave a brief pause, glancing over towards the bags with a pensive squint.[break][break]

”...The bag next to the one the fish were in.” He eyed the varied plastics for a little while longer before turning his attention back towards the array of root vegetables he’d assembled before him. With a hum, he returned to work and chopped away at each and every one of them (the ones he’d separated for them to eat that specific day, at least). ”Be sure not to make the ramen portions too big, though. …Remember we’ll be having some kenchinjiru to go along with the rice and the fish.”[break][break]

Such idle chit chat and direction.[break]
…He really did miss it.

SPACE-TIME DISTORTION #4
POSTED ON Mar 15, 2022 22:23:03 GMT

The spark of various gradients of luminescence had been a sight to behold within the moments they had initially made themselves to be known. To say that he had always done his best to remain in tune with the happenings of the region would have often proven to be little more than an understatement, though this, in itself, had simply been the first time he had borne such witness to the very same events that he’d only heard of until then. Even from afar, the chaotic cacophonies of what he could only describe as a deafening vortex in the beginning had rung true within his senses.

This was no longer the simple visit he’d intended.
This was a threat, however curious it may have simultaneously been.

Halfway. Halfway had his footsteps trailed him along the paths leading to the collections of graves and the like further along the inclines of the terrain structured before him, though it had taken little more than a moment’s worth of notice of the crackling and violent display from the heavens above for him to hasten his ascent, regardless of whether or not the forces of nature brewing before him (as well as the force of gravity and the tilt of the land) seemed more than content to work against him. With a hand swiftly shifted and rested upon one of the numerous capsules hooked upon his person, he flickered his finger with a soft click against the material; the aforementioned capsule loosening from the small, integrated mechanism that fastened it to his person before tapping the button. The image of a familiar, beloved hound of his formed quickly within his line of sight, seemingly already within his own sprint and stride upon being released.

Within an almost flourish-like movement, the man reached over, gently yet firmly gripping within its mane for stability prior to pulling himself up and onto the beast’s back. ”Hayaku, Kagutsuchi!” he called out amidst the ongoing chaos, leaning forward to further acclimate himself to the canine’s form as he cast an instinctive glare towards the dome above and afar. ”Use Extreme Speed! Get us up there— quickly!”

Breaking the roars of nature afar, the fire type gave a bold howl in affirmation and acknowledgment, his body surging briefly within some form of energies prior to pushing along the grounds, bursting along in an unhesitating Extreme Speed that propelled both beast and trainer along the ridges.

Only mere moments following their arrival upon the base of the cemetery proper had the League affiliate swung himself from his companion’s back, sending forth numerous capsules to release his other, beloved party members (streaks of blues and golds quickly dispersing amidst the gravestones in defense) as he, himself, sought out the first grave keeper that caught his gaze, calling out to them while jogging over to assess the situation.

Unbeknownst to him, however, a certain ginger-pelted canine found himself swelling within the energies concentrated within the area throughout his time of defense. Only when a sudden surge of such energies seemed to flare and blind the eye in concentration around his form did his trainer catch wind of what had been happening, and as another, briefly distorted howl met the air, a bicolored glare of emerald and amber found itself narrowing as the trainer, himself, immediately excused himself for the sake of sprinting over. His voice rose over the tones of thunder and booming, though it, as well as the beat of his footsteps, came to an abrupt stop as the flaring subsided within a burst, revealing the…oddly altered beast within its center.

His brows rose before subsequently furrowing, and he called out with a lightly concerned and confused, ”Kagutsuchi…?” before finding his woes and qualms settled—albeit slightly—as the canine held little hesitance in turning in response to his name. He received a bark in a secondary response, and after a quick survey of the area to ensure his safety, Asahiko sprinted over to examine his newly changed companion.

He appeared to be fine.
…That was all that truly mattered.




BASICALLY, THE TL;DR:
--arcanine changed into hisuian arcanine (through use of x1 form change, bought here)
--looking back on this i wrote way more than i intended to LMFAO

Glancing down, the man gave a low, softened hum while reaching for the remainder of his own equipment; his eyes focused upon the two water types as he stretched the band of his goggles back and slide them over his head. ”She’s been excited ever since I asked her if she wanted to come with us a few days ago…” he chuckled softly, the vaguest of smiles broadening upon his lips at the sight and sound of his own, beloved companion chirping and bumping her head against the woman’s hand. She seemed to stumble upon being bumped by the spider, but rather than responding in turn, she seemed to quickly balance herself before promptly flapping her flippers in excitement. ”That said, I feel like we shouldn’t keep them waiting any longer~...”[break][break]

He adjusted his gear and mask a final time before turning towards the side of the boat, hooking his legs over the edge. At the sight, the aforementioned penguin seemed to perk up, immediately chirping up another storm before climbing and clambering onto any and all nearby edges she could muster herself onto, and before her trainer could so much as react, he found himself watching as she quite literally flung herself into the deep blue waters.[break][break]

He chuckled with a sigh. ”...Sekkachi~...” he murmured, pushing himself off before descending into the waters to join her.

…Truthfully speaking, he couldn’t complain.[break][break]

He couldn’t complain about her hasitness, nor could he complain about her wordless vies for attention and the like. If anything, he found himself reading upon the same pages as she did as she only sought to lean closer, and despite the otherwise seemingly disgruntled and pensive sigh that reverberated and left his lips, he merely leaned over to further rest his cheek against her head as he continuously gazed upon the screen.[break][break]

”Surprisingly enough, yes…” he mused, scrolling past a particular song before pausing and pressing the controller’s buttons a couple of times to return to it. His eyes narrowed faintly before he sighed softly, rubbing his neck and sitting up straighter as he selected it.[break][break]

”It’s been a rather long while since I’ve sang to begin with, though…”

She would see him pause for a brief moment upon hearing that.[break][break]

His eyes absentmindedly settled upon one attraction in particular— though the gaze that found itself upon it had simply been absentminded and nothing more as he properly processed her words. As if prompted by them, as well, he softly tightened his fingers around hers before turning his head towards her.[break][break]

He thought for a small while longer before sighing, lifting her hand to his lips and pressing them against her knuckles within a gingerly manner. ”...I’m simply glad to be able to have this again,” he responded, lowly, after some thought. ”Needless to say, I’ve missed this. Very…very much.”

If it was a mood or lighting issue, yes, they could fix it.[break][break]

As he found himself trailing after her and the employees following their brief explanations, however, he found himself at a swiftened lost as his feet slowed to a halt; bicolored hues gazing throughout the area in tandem with the cross of his arms. ”This is still such an obscure request…” he murmured, narrowing his eyes as their apparent quarry entered his field of view.[break][break]

There had been a number of things that he knew he was good at, and to an extent, he did consider himself well versed within understanding the very creatures that the world they knew grew to love and live alongside— but only if they were his own. Thus, his lips pressed faintly against one another as he scoped out the Pangoros residing within the enclosure, and before long, he inhaled deeply and sighed, scratching his head.[break][break]

He’d mentioned it as a joke beforehand, but after only a small amount of time, he took his phone out and began playing a particular, iconic song before eying the creatures through a narrowed gaze on a whim, almost as if wanting to see if it really would pave some sort of path for them to take based on their reactions.

His hand tightened around hers immediately and instinctively, pulling back in attempt to stabilize her from what he only saw as an avoidable fall as he, himself, leaned forward in attempt to further secure a grasp further along her arm with his remaining hand. A soft, instinctive hiss of a sigh escaped his lips, soon followed by a click of the tongue as he shifted closer. ”Oi… Be careful…” he murmured with a subtle touch of disdain, furrowing his brows as bicolored hues lifted to meet hers. ”I’d rather not have you fall when we’re so close to the top…”[break][break]

Once he was close enough, he gave another sigh (as well as a cursory glance around their surroundings) while still holding onto her hand, all while the remaining lifted to gently tap and press against her back. ”Yes, it’s been a while, and yes, it’s a nice change,” he began, narrowing his eyes, ”but you really must keep your eyes forward. Please. At least until we’re on flatter ground…”

He shook his head, humming softly while turning to quickly (carefully) draw a knife from the stand that it dwelled within, setting it aside before pulling a number of the leafier products he’d brought over out. ”Mmn… Not quite, no,” he murmured, reaching over to flick the faucet lever up. Shifting over a number of paces, he held the greens out, washing them beneath the stream of water prior to shaking them off softly. ”I was the one that just came back, anywho…”[break][break]

With a couple more shakes, he stepped over towards the counter once more, quickly pulling a cutting board from one of the lower cabinets and setting it before him prior to beginning to chop them into more manageable pieces and moving onto an assortment of carrots and radishes. ”The fish should be in one of the bags closest to the edge of the counter.”
