MARCH UPDATE

Her tears hid his worried eyes. Though they did not cover his words. And if he thought they would help to halt the tears, he would be sorely mistaken. For a moment she let it all out before she would return to the conversation at hand.

She mentioned what she found and Isaac immediately seemed curious about it. Though his intention to know more was quickly shot down by the Bisharp, proving that it had been right to be vague in her answer.

It was then that Isaac noticed a little something left over from her wiping away her tears thoughtlessly with her wounded hand. “Something on my face?” She repeated nervously. Though she didn’t get the time to wipe it away as Isaac asked to see her hand. There was no way around it. Reluctantly did she pull her right hand up from the safety of her pocket, and held it palm up towards Isaac.

Though the blood was starting to harden, the cut was still easily seen. Though it wasn’t deep enough to be a major injury the length of it, going horizontally from one side to the other meant the opening was big enough to be a problem. It was only now that she looked at it, that she saw how the blood had trickled everywhere on her hand, making it look like she had just killed someone with it.

Returning to the group with the blade in one hand, and her wounded hand hiding in her pocket. She found that her Pokémon were hard at work tidying up the place together with Isaac and his Pokémon.

Isaac was busy with some boxes. Curiosity getting the better of her she walks toward him, though she gets stopped halfway there by Sewaddle who noticed the sharp pointy object in her hand. With a worrisome look on her face, she skittled over to Priscilla. Before Priscilla could even speak against it, the little bug had gently taken it out of her hand, it then began to apply a layer of string shot, to make the pointy end less pointy.

Priscilla let Sewaddle do her thing, continuing over to Isaac while the green Bug-type worked cautiously. Priscilla turned her attention to the things Isaac had found, one by one did he show her the items. With each one did she feel a small tremble in her body. It was a feeling she hadn’t felt in what felt like eons. Her eyes grew watery, and she felt the sniffles in her nose. She was about to burst when the first sentence hit her, but she fought valiantly. But as soon as his second sentence was said, she could hold it no longer.

The tears started to flow, the sobs escaping her, though she tried to keep them in. As she cried there was a smile on her lips. “I… I am sorry… I didn’t mean to cry... Thank's for all of this.” The words came out in between sobs. Her Pokémon was slowly gathering around her, having noticed the sounds of her crying. She took a moment to calm herself.

“I just found his old room.” She gestured towards the Bisharp with her left hand. She didn’t want to spill any of his secrets to Isaac. Thoughtlessly she took her right hand to wipe away the residue of tears from her eyes. Forgetting the wound, from which blood was still trickling, a stinging sensation announced her mistake. Though to Isaac and those around her, small lines of red would be more than enough of a visible cue, if they were looking.

Realizing her mistake, she tried to play it cool. Simply put her right hand back into her pocket as if nothing had happened.

PETTING POKE-ZOO (PokéJob)

POSTED ON Jul 12, 2022 17:39:43 GMT

Wimpod had never thought he would see the day when Priscilla would ask him a favor. Though perhaps it was her run-ins with Isaac Merlo that had pushed her forward. He didn’t know, but they had taken a trip to Littleroot Town, to do a job for a measle pay, but a pay nonetheless.

She had apologized to him many times when she had shown him the job. But it didn’t matter, this would be an ordeal he would gladly accept for her. And so, here he now found himself within an enclosure that was far too tiny compared to what he would prefer to roam within. But the size was but a part of its purpose.

The Wimpod stared at the Gate. It was about time. He saw a glimpse of the many trampling feet at the edge of the gate. He DEFENSIVE CURL’ed himself for a brief moment, strengthening his carapace before the gate was flung open with no regard for the safety of the Pokémon which might be on the other side.

A Bunch of kids stormed in. He Valiantly stared the horde down. Every inch of his body screamed for him to run. But he did not wimp out. He took it all in a stride as the horde fell upon him, petting him with much enthusiasm. Some maybe a bit too enthusiastic. But he managed to survive the ordeal all the same.

For once she felt prepared. For once, she wasn’t nervous. She sensed his freezing movements, the low chittering his. Though grief came in many shapes and sizes, she noticed it all the same. The offer of a listening ear seemed to be enough for the Bisharp. He stooped down and dug something out from the pile. He handed it to her.

With wide eyes, does she take the blade accidentally holding it on the sharp side. Her eyes flinched in pain before she realized her mistake, but by then the Bisharp had already walked to the doorframe. Taking the blade with her other hand, this time not holding it by the sharp side, she began to inspect her wounded hand. She looked at the palm of her hand. A cut, though not a deep one, went from one side to the other. Blood gently began to gush from it.

She put her hand into one of her empty pockets, hiding her shame from those around her as she entered the big room once more, now blade in hand.

Priscilla almost jumped at the sudden appearance of the Bisharp, lost in her own thoughts she had not thought it wise to be aware of her surroundings in any meaningful way. But with a quick calming sigh did she find the emotional capacity to observe the Bisharp and its strange behavior. The way it gently cared for the rose and the following display of aggression.

She took a step back when he began to harm the cot. Her eyes didn’t move from the Pokémon, part of her was afraid it might turn its anger on her if she moved too much. But by the end, she saw only the pain of loss painted upon its body and face.

His pain was familiar to her. Though she didn’t truly understand his words as one might think. She didn’t have to. They were compatriots in anger and grief for one reason or another. She calmly walked over to the Bisharp, her face resolved to go through with what was probably very risky.

Priscilla tried to place a gentle hand on the shoulder of the Bisharp as she said. “I don’t know what happened, but if you need someone to talk to, I am here to listen.” Funny how she of all people found the mental fortitude to offer herself as a listened when it was not too long ago that she had been overwhelmed with her own feelings.

For a brief second, she halted herself. Perhaps the blanket hid something better left alone. It was a possibility. But then curiosity got the better of her and she pulled the blanket aside and moved into the room.

Her eyes first gazed upon the pile of treasure. She wanted to touch it, to rummage through it. But she saw the edges and pointy bits that it had and refrained. Instead, she turned her attention around to see the Pokédoll, used and abused for reasons unknown to her. It was a sad sight.

But even sadder was the sight of the cots. The cots were worn down either by use or abuse, like the Pokédoll, all save for one. She stepped towards it. It was pristine in its condition, as the only one there with a pillow, and she noticed upon the said pillow was a rose.

She walked over to the pristine cot. Felt the itch of curiosity in her hand. She wanted to touch the rose, to hold it up to her face and smell it. But she stopped herself. Unlike all the other cots there this one clearly meant something to whoever had lived here. Looking around, it was quite obvious who had considered this place their home.

“Perhaps they lost someone?” She mumbled to herself, so lost in thought was she. That she barely noticed if anyone but herself was nearby.

The walk was rather short, only made shorter by the fact she carried most of her Pokémon rather than letting them wiggle their way there upon their tiny insect legs.

By the time they reached their destination, the Ariados had mostly pushed away his worries. If this was a trap, he would simply deal with it when that time came.

Priscilla watched as Isaac tried to make sure nobody was in there, only to be disturbed by Bisharp having other plans. She yipped in surprise as she hadn’t expected the kick. However, she quickly sighed in relief, as the jump scares effect waned.

She walked through the door opening. Eyes peeling the area for any and all dangers there might be in here. There seemed to be no traps, no dangers, nothing. Ariados reached the same conclusion together with the rest of the troupe. They all climbed down and began to look around.

Sewaddle went over to Isaac and the Aggron and began to help them with cleaning.

Meanwhile, Priscilla began to explore, curiosity getting the better of her. It didn’t take long for her to stumble upon the enclosed room, and the curious door-shaped cut barred only by a blanket. She decided to check it out, wanting to make sure there was no danger to be found. And as she would grab the blanket, she wondered what secret stash she would find in there.

A mild look of confusion spread itself upon Priscilla’s face as Isaac proclaimed their potential luck. Though once he explained the situation it began to make sense. Though Priscilla seemed open to the idea.

Ariados was understandably reluctant. Though he figured neither human would understand this reluctance, since they didn’t understand that power always attracted more power, and if a Powerful Bisharp had made the place their home, then others were sure to follow in search of stealing this supposed place. Alas, he also knew they had to get out of here, so their options were limited.

For a moment Priscilla seemed thoughtful, having noticed Ariados’s expression. “Hmmm, that actually doesn’t sound too bad.” She really didn’t have much of a choice in that regard. The best she could do was simply go along with it since Isaac didn’t seem like a bad guy. “Sure, alright. I will trust you on this, okay?” Priscilla finally stated.

Bad memories slowly faded once more. Calm eased its way into Priscilla. Perhaps there was something she needed to work on there but now was not the time. Meanwhile, Isaac seemed almost afraid of speaking another word after that little stunt. But he found the courage nonetheless.

Priscilla shook her head, this time calmly, as an answer to Isaacs’s question. “No, we move around a lot.” Usually, people kicked them out or wild Pokémon came to claim the places they had found. Neither her nor her bug-pals minded, while her Pokémon could fight they preferred not to.

“We don’t really have a place to stay at.” She paused, looking down towards the floor, avoiding Isaacs’ eyes as much as possible. “We had kind of hoped we could’ve stayed here. But clearly, that is not an option.” She found the courage to meet his gaze once more.

While Priscilla was no Telepath. It was clear even to her bespectacled eyes that Isaac was in quite the conundrum. She appreciated his willingness to just think about it. But she was ready to vacate the premises. She had been squatting after all.

But then he had to go and mention camping. Her gaze grew distant if only for a moment before she pulled herself together. Perhaps Isaac noticed, perhaps not. But then she shook her head as she said. “Oh no, I am not going camping!” She declined his offer with such fervor one might’ve thought against some religious sentiment of hers.

Her Pokémon noticed her distress. And though most didn’t move to take action, Ariados and Sewaddle were quick to place gentle appendages on her to calm her down. “I will vacate the premise, don’t worry. Just… Just don’t take me camping.” Her voice had grown timid, reminiscent maybe of a younger her.

Priscilla believed him when he stated she didn’t know half of it. She wasn’t sure she wanted to know. Ignorance was at this point bliss, a bliss she clung to willingly. Isaac then gave her some much-needed privacy, even if she had already mentally prepared herself for the ordeal it would be to disrobe herself one more and get dressed in his presence.

Once Isaac and his crew had found themselves in another Room. Priscilla quickly went to work. Though her Pokémon stayed with her, she didn’t mind their presence since they were like family to her at this point. Quickly the makeshift duvet Toga was exchanged with her attire. The very same worn-down and holed mix of green and black colored clothes, that she had worn on her first meeting with Isaac.

“Alright, I am ready,” Priscilla announced as she glanced at her Pokémon, all but Ariados simply waiting for her. Ariados, however, was a bit busy neatly folding the duvet and putting it down into a small bag it had woven using some of its silk.

While Priscilla wasn’t sure she liked his explanation. It did make sense. Still, the fact he had to even think of such things worried her. It sounded a whole lot like illegal work rather than simply a grey area. And she wasn’t sure she liked that. Still, she said nothing, for once keeping her blabber-mouth shut as Isaac went on to explain what he’d have to do if she didn’t comply.

She’d have trusted him alright, she actually still would. Though when he began to speak about the rich assholes running the show, a nauseating feeling began to rummage in her stomach. She knew the type. Her mother had tried to be friendly with them, even brought them home, they had in turn tried to be friendly with her, some may be a bit too friendly. Luckily she had always been spared the worst. To think Isaac was caught up in such a shit show.

Priscilla looked thoughtful. The group of bug Pokémon looked at her, awaiting orders. Then she sighed. “I suppose there’s no way around it then.” She looked at Aggron. Maybe there was a small minuscule chance of beating it. But then what? Besides she didn’t want her friends to get hurt. “Sure sounds like you are caught up in a shit-show.” Her words were bolder, now that she was among her friends willing to protect her. “But I suppose I have no choice but to trust you. Besides, it’s not like you are working for Team Rocket or something like that.” She remarked off-handedly he had after all claimed this to be grey-area work, and as far as she knew Team Rocket only dealt in the most heinous of crimes.

“Just, let me get properly dressed first, okay?” She asked as she gestured for him to turn around so that she wouldn’t have to bare herself for him once more.

It seemed they were in agreement. Naturally, they would be. He knew from experience that the Royal Vespiquen rarely sought out violence. Nay, t’is was not the Bees he feared when he was a young Spinarak lad, but rather his own kind, for his was a savage specie one unworthy of a Royal presence.

Caught in the moment, he had not noticed the goo-goo eyes being sent in his direction. But the moment he did, he moved to reclaim his spider limb, shyly looking away. Before Chittering. “I believe we should return to the sides of our respective trainers.” Before hurrying all flustered like to Priscilla’s side.

She sent the newly arrived Ariados a smile, before returning to listening to Isaac’s lies. She was not convinced and her body language told as much. Arms crossed and eyes judgmentally gazing upon him. She allowed him to dig his own grave just a bit further.

“Well, why didn’t you just say so? And what’s with the disguise anyways, I know you said this is ‘off the record’ “ She spoke making air quotes at the appropriate time. “But it’s not like YOU are doing anything illegal, right?” She asked inquisitively.

“Wait, what were you going to do if it wasn’t me and they weren’t going to be cooperative?” Priscilla once more asked the hard-hitting questions. Remembering all too fondly the hustlers of their previous visit and the fear that the Aggron had instilled within them.

The duo began to explain. Though for whatever reason it seemed they decided on charades rather than words. Perhaps they did not speak The Arceus-given-common-Pokémon language or perhaps Ariados was merely 5-heading too much. Either way, it didn’t matter. He got the gist of it. And the sight of the metallic beast having escaped his trap made his defeat inevitable.

And yet, with his spider eyes did he notice a peculiar detail. The Aggron carried Priscilla’s clothes diligently. One would most certainly have assumed that clothing would be the least of a hunting predator’s worries. Ariados decided that aggression was no longer the answer. And so followed the trio to where Priscilla was.

He had barely entered the Hallway area when a Majestic-looking Vespiquen, one whose beauty was rivaled only by a beautiful bug-lady of the same species, one he had not seen in ages. He wondered what had become of her, his childhood crush, though he dared not admit so. He was quickly pulled back into the world of the present as this Vespiquen took his forelimb between her royal hands. Had his exo-skeleton been able to betray him, it would’ve blushed, but alas it did not even if he still felt the heat welling up.

M’lady, t’is I who must apologize. Had my brethren and I, but approached with diplomatic intent, I believe the situation would not have gotten so out of hand. Of course, to all whose ears did not understand bug speech, his words were but meaningless spider-chittering. Still, his deep bow would convey the message to those that did not understand his words.

While Isaac told his story, Priscilla looked at him skeptically. Something told her that this masked person wasn’t inclined to the truth. Perhaps this was all an elaborate ruse to forego squatters’ rights, of which she barely knew anything about.

And then he gave a name, which all but confirmed her fears. “Blackjack? As in the card game?” Her voice conveyed the mistrust that her mind was filled with. “Well, excuse me for not believing someone named after a card game,” Priscilla said.

This was the point where the Aggron approached her. She took a step sideways trying to put some space between the intimidating creature and her. Though like the Ariados, she quickly noticed something peculiar about its behavior. For starters, it carried her clothes and handed them to her while covering its eyes, kind gestures not befitting its wild appearance. She gave it a thankful nod as she took the clothes, though she was now mostly covered by her self-made duvet toga. But then the Aggron sat down and something clicked in her. She had seen this Aggron before.

“Wait a minute.” She turned to Isaac. “That Aggron, and your voice…” Her brain was quickly coming to the realization, but she still wasn’t sure she wanted to voice it, to make it real. Still, she did it. “Isaac?”
