redeeming? [break][break]

frankly, it's more of an annoyance, or an irritation, but what ever helps him sleep better at night. he's optimistic, and he's trying too hard to see the good in people - or even worse, he genuinely believes in what he preaches, and in that case, there's a little concern for the day he comes across someone too far from salvation. [break][break]

not that she falls under the category. [break][break]

"ah? it sounds like you're giving me too much credit." the smile doesn't waver, but her eyes are maintaining a fixated gaze on the sky. instead she chuckles, because it's a little laughable. it's a little naive. "although i know i'm good at what i do," (it's the one thing she knows how to do, even with her eyes closed) "there's still a lot of people who won't be saved." [break][break]

when she speaks, she lets out a huff of warm air from her lips. then she caves and lays her back, fully, against the grass. her body turns to the side to face towards him, legs lifting up slightly, curling towards her stomach as her arms are held together. it's been a while since they were trapped in that digital space, and the sudden destruction's reminded her of why she left hoenn in the first place. [break][break]

loathe is she to admit that his gut feeling is correct; why is it so keen? she watches with an uncovered eye, then smiles, softly, with a hint of defeat. "a little." she sighs, and her body eases up. "none that i'm willing to share, though~" so tough luck, she'll say with a soft snicker. then she quiets down, and her gaze softens. there's a silence, and maybe a tiny bit of nostalgia she feels as the flames warm exposed skin. [break][break]

"... i had more pokemon, once." she mumbles, softly. her gaze falls to the ground. "and in the end, i couldn't save them." a twang in her heart resounds so loudly, but she doesn't have the right to feel this way.

"what do we have here?" [break][break]

they come across an inkay, floating their jolly way down the route. it's so dark, but the bioluminescence of the pokemon makes it bright, and obvious. it's wandering, and it looks lost. [break][break]

a perfect lil prey for her gengar's shenanigans. so she smiles, slightly, to the large pokemon who peeks out just from the shadows. she carefully approaches the inkay, a smile to her lips as she holds a hand out. "are you lost?" honied words have never been so fake when the little pokemon slowly approaches her. it does a little twirl in the air, and she tilts her head as she pats the top of its head. [break][break]

"it's dangerous out here, you know?" she runs her hand along the cap of the jellyfish's head, hearing a soft purr. it's quite a soft one. "why don't you walk with us, so you don't get lost?" it's young, and naive, so it does a little loop in the air with a chime. [break][break]

so she walks with it, the little thing unknowing of the shadow that lurks. it's somewhere down the path where she's tempted to have the gengar attack, only for the inkay to dwindle in the air. mari gently moves the pokemon to her arms, cradling it as it dozes off. "are you sleepy?" she asks, tenderly holding and rocking the little pokemon. after a little while, she sighs and pulls out a pokeball to lightly tap it on the snoring inkay. [break][break]

"it'll be easier to carry you like this." she smiles, gently, lovingly, stroking the pokeball. [break][break]

"so stay put."

kidnapping catching inkay

☉

ah, she knew it. [break][break]

curses. she was hoping that they would only get to fight darkrai, but she wasn't exactly keen on trying to fight the cresselia at the same time. to make matters worse, some dumbass decided to pick the unfamiliar dogs (to which she'll groan, it reminds her too much of the people who would pick the unfamiliar term during a multiple choice exam). [break][break]

her blissey sits on her shoulder, but there's nothing much the egg pokemon can do. she can admire the legends all she wants - after she ensures that she doesn't die here. "swap with carci." she recalls the blissey, then sends out the cursola who expands from its coral plate. with that, she points to the darkrai. [break][break]

"disable on the darkrai, keep it from putting people to sleep." she's careful to avoid the dark voids; she's heard about what darkrai does during her time in rocket. she's not keen on living through it. [break][break]

she does glance to the two new pokemon, but she sadly can't help the poor man being chased. she's sorry, but also not; who told him to pick the wrong answer? [break][break]

portals open up, and her eyes widen when the image of a fucking train barrels through. it's nowhere near her, but it leaves a really sour taste in her mouth. she's not fast enough to avoid one. so she grabs the coral plate of the cursola, who shrinks in size for portability, and she jumps to latch onto the magnezone's screw - if just to get out of the way of the dogs. he doesn't fly too high up, and worst case scenario, she's ready to drop. [break][break]

she should have just stayed in the pokemon centre..

cyberchase conundrum

a.. blue shard? she doesn't know what this is for, but she'll keep it. maybe it'll be useful one day. [break][break]

back down they go, looking for some rare stuff, maybe. or maybe just another pokeball. her bets are on the pokeball.

lord, i hope you know that mari will not stop trying until she hits that magikarp splash. at this point, she's too invested, and this is going to be the last try. really the last try of the last tries. probably. most likely. she's rearing to go with the mantine, so god help her. [break][break]

fingers crossed

pog she survived three throws. [break][break]

and now she just wants to keep throwing. frankly, marisol's doing people a favour if she can. it gives them a moment in the nice, cold water in this scorching summer heat. the woman glances to DEREK HOFFMAN with a small smile her face, beginning to wind up. "i apologize in advance."[break][break]

she's not sorry.

no she wasn't okay. she didn't like being dunked into the water, not in the slightest (she lies, it's actually quite refreshing). [break][break]

with ball in hand, she chucks it to have the pinkette fall into the tank. goodbye cotton candy lady. goodbye luka chêne [break][break]

and again. she's not gonna stop until she gets this fucking trick down. please, god, give her this chance so she can finally move on to attempt at the other tricks. another attempt at the magikarp splash she goes, high up into the air with the mantine who seems to be enjoying themselves too much.

here we go again, under the water still. at this point, she should just expect to find more pokeballs. she's already found four; what's one more? yes, this is reverse psychology, and only the lord and saviour arceus will tell whether or not her prayer are successful. dorime.
