Niky listened intently. He didn't know if the dark haired man was a Johto native or just had extensive knowledge of the place's lore. "Who wouldn't want to meet a Legendary? Hell, I'd try to catch one..." The blonde didn't have any major dreams regarding Pokemon...he just liked rare Pokemon, and what was rarer than a Legendary? He didn't have much to add on for the stories.

As he waited, Niky just started to pace around his four fishing lines. On the opposite side of the interconnecting ponds were Slowpoke. Somewhere, he read that their tails made a great stew. Something similar maybe could be roasted and made? The young man hobbled over to see if any of the fishing Slowpoke had shed their tails. Looking around, and somewhat searching around the area, he didn't find anything. Sighing heavily, the disappointed amatuer outdoorsman went back to his lines. One of which was getting pulled. Excited, Niky dropped his cane and ran over to it and pulled. Basculan! One discharge later, and that was one. In five hours, that was the only one.

Reeling all of his lines in, he saw that something ate the bait, but nothing actually stayed caught. Well, one fish would have to be enough. Retrieving his cane, he returned to the camp. To find several Houndour and Poocheyna running away from Fabia, who also looked worse for wear. Great...puppers that didn't know their place. Good thing his water type knew Moonblast. Putting Polygon on watch, he looked over and did his best to patch up the injured Pokemon. At about that time, his other Pokemon returned from the trips. Luckily, Optimus and Sol made two beds. How sweet of them. But they were also concerned about the injured Fabia. When Josh returned, Niky spoke to him about the attack. "Houndour and Poocheyana attacked the camp. How much you want to bet that there's a Houndoom and Mighyena leading the packs?" Though weren't they also nocturnal Pokemon? What were they doing attacking in broad daylight? The former idol also held up the single Basculan. And a few fungus that were edible...hopefully...he needed confirmation from the ranger...

Well, Niky wasn't so sure about that. "Well, we'll see how patient I really am. I was always on the go, and even after my accident, I didn't like just sitting around for too long..." Though perhaps he had to slow it down since then. Still he was always trying to stay active...even during his manic depression days. What Josh said about the predators was a good idea. Niky just nodded. Nothing that really needed commented on after all.

With the sun being low, the ranger offered to tell stories about Johto. "Sure! I've never been...well, I was supposed to make my grand entrance when an accident tore the crap out of my left knee, and so that never happened. Kanto would have been the last place, but considering...that situation, probably never would try..." He'd let his entire team eat, then himself. Sol lit their fires too. And when they were ready to go to bed, he'll have Fabia put them out...

~

The next morning, Niky stretched as he put his shirt back on. He'd taken it off and folded it to make a pillow out of it, that made sleeping tolerable. Maybe getting some leaves and sticking them to thread for some kind of makeshift bed would be helpful. Josh looked like he was already gone, probably scouting or getting more berries. "Hey Optimus, can you gather a bunch of leaves, and have Sol use her String Shot to make a bed of some sort? I'm going to see how fishing works out for me..." Taking his makeshift fishing rods and some berries, off he went to see what he can catch...with cane in hand. Slick and Gojira left to gather more firewood/twigs. Fabia stuck around to guard the camp, and Polygon followed Niky to the lake. After setting the lines, it was a waiting game...

Niky brightened at the compliments. Even with the stone teepees, there was still gaps in them. Sol filled those in with String Shot. But the young man also worked on creating a few makeshift fishing rods. They could do some fishing for some meals. Unfortunatly, the berry bushes were quite far, according to Josh. "We should save some for bait. I'm sure I can catch a few tasty fish Pokemon to fry up..." Hopefully no Crawdaunt or Corphish. The meat on those water pokemon was known to taste awful and smell even worse. Hopefully the ponds have some good fishies...

Though the problem is a more balanced diet. And berries were far. "I can see if Slick or Polygon can find any nice Tropius around. But we also should be wary of predators, right?" That was another concern. Though a Garchomp and Ninetails were major predators themselves...who knows if any would dare try to do something. Sol could lay out some traps and some early warning systems. But he didn't know what there was to be worried about out here. He still nodded at Sol to go around doing things. Gojira did get more firewood for them to burn. Polygon as well. With that, that should be enough to settle for the night. With a little Ember from Sol, they had fires going. The Larvesta still glared at anything that moved. Even Josh and his Ninetales, Manetric, Jolteon, and Garchomp.

WINTER MASQUERADE [Holiday Event]

POSTED ON Dec 4, 2022 2:55:01 GMT

FERNANDO SILPH, Elisabeth Fiorelli, and 1 more like this

This was a fun little idea. Pop music but with orhestra instruments. It took a bit of pleading and connections, but Niky managed to do it. With his twin sis and some other members. And lots of practice. Still, the blonde DJ/Record Retail Store clerk dressed well. White button up shirt that was unbuttoned at the top and bottom, also not tucked in, black slacks and dress shoes, black vest, yellow tie, and simple black "mask" that outlined his eyes rounded out his outfit[/b]. If someone knew who he was, they could tell. After the invite card was given officially, Niky showed the snowflake covered card to the Mr. Mime to get in and start setting up their stuff from the band tour bus that they had arrived in. On the way, they had also checked out all the hype by the The Bee's Knees and various HNN guests like Elinor Anderson and GIDEON GRAVES. All the while, practicing whenever possible and a few days before.

Niky was soon spotted by the Rotoms broadcasting the event. One of which cornered him a little bit. He waved at the camera. "Good evening Hoenn! Niky Racz here, in charge of an orchestra of music! Stay tuned for some fine tunes in a different format!" With a charming smile and saunteering off to continue setting up. Of course, he did look around to see if anyone caught his interest. So far, the only one that caught his interest was a man in a silver suit, black button up, and a black tie and half mask (Zev Harcourt). Just that one half mask gave Niky the impression of a handsome man...but maybe above his means. Guys like that are not usually single, and if they are, straight. But maybe he could sneak off and get a dance with the man during a small interruption or something. Right now, he needed to focus on setting up. Lest his sister get pissed at him...

General Outfit, without the mask: Niky's outfit, but he's a young adult
TLDR
Arrives in a tour bus, hands in invite.
Gives sound bite.
Scans crowd for anyone of interest. Spots one.
Continues to set up instruments, sound, and more in designated spots.

Prompt Checklist
1. Interacted with invite
2. Arrived in Style
3. PR and Buzz
4. Fashion Fashion Fashion
5. Paparazzi
6. Hot or Not!

"Maybe. If we were really at all interested. But he's been fantastic help at my job too." Gojira puffed up from the praise. "I got Optimus the Metang and Polygon the Porygon-Z to lean on if it gets bad enough. My cane and knee brace helps wonders for being on my feet for most of a day. Worst comes to worst, I got ways to handle it without the need for pain killers. I'll be good. But the option is nice to know." It was sweet of him to offer. Even if the Ninetails was a little stuck up.

Josh soon started to prove his worth though. Namely his Ranger training. Even mentioning Gojira's role. "That's just firewood. I got Sol the Larvesta for making a fire if need be, as well as a source of light. She also knows String Shot, and that can be useful in a lot of different ways. Gojira still has shelter covered due to a trick we worked on. Soon as we find a spring or something, we can show it off. I also got Fabia the Popplio to put out any unncessary fires too." While all of his Pokemon were capable fighters, his Metang and Porygon-Z were probably his best ones for now. Hopefully they can find a source of fresh water soon.

It may have taken a few hours, but they did find a fresh water pond. Well, a small array of interconnected ones. If Josh gave his okay, Niky would turn to Gojira. And Slick the Bagon, who had been let out to also collect firewood when Gojira's arms got full. Both Pokemon put their piles next to each other. The Larvitar jumped up, and slammed on the ground, using Stone Edge. With it, he created two teepees of stone. When the stopped glowing, they stayed still and completely supported, with an opening to each one. They did face each other, allowing them to share a single heat source if needed. "It may take the rest of the day plus tomorrow, but Sol's String Shot might be able to add some insulation to the inside of both of them if need be. If you can scout out the area around for any fruit trees or berry bushes, I can see if I can work on a fishing line of some sort first." Hopefully he can be useful in that way without just relying completely on his Pokemon...

As expected, mostly, the man didn't arrive in the typical fashion. But the gym leader did great him warmly. A Garchomp...now that was a Pokemon. While the flexing did impress his little Larvitar, the little guy huffed and stood as tall as he could. Which wasn't very tall. One day, buddy, one day. "I'll call you Josh then. This is Gojira, one of my A-team buddies. He's not usually so puffed up..." The blonde couldn't help but chuckle at his Pokemon's antics. It was nice to see the fella's competitive side. He didn't see it very often considering his jobs. "I'm as ready as I can be. Just be aware of my bum knee. Hopefully that doesn't slow us down...lead the way? I'm good enough at directions, but I'm not usually out camping a lot...let alone the best places."

Especially since his knee got so destroyed. Even after the successful surgeries, he wasn't doing that very often. But he did have some neat tricks Gojira was able to pull off. Walking into the jungle, Niky tried to keep pace with the ranger and his Garchomp. A good place to set up shelter would be his first go to, but maybe also someplace that they can secure some food easily as well. But he also didn't know this island very well. At least he would have the fire situation handled with Sol. Luckily, Gojira was already gathering up twigs for that exact reason. Campfires...

On the Hunt! (DW)

POSTED ON Nov 27, 2022 14:53:27 GMT

So far, nothing through these abandoned apartments. The DJ wasn't sure if there really was Pokemon in here...Mauville was such an odd city. A stranger did find him, and greeted with a different region's tradition, taking him by surprise. While Niky was amused by the man's description of his Larvesta, Sol wasn't so amused, screeching angrily at the man. This caused the blonde to laugh. "Not yet. This is a Larvesta, and her name is Sol. You up for a battle or are you just here to do some catching?" It wouldn't make any difference to him. Niky was here to do some training, but he wasn't going to force someone for a fight either. That was rude and last he knew, was called assault, and you could be arrested for that. That being said, he suddenly heard some wierd noises out in front of them. Finally some wild Pokemon to try his luck with?

A deserted island to help influence the tourism wing of Hoenn and raise money for the absolutely devastated Littleroot. Normally, Niky wouldn't bother with this sort of challenge. But considering his parents and sister were among the sponsers of the event, he felt obligated to help out. As a constestant. And they weren't too happy about it, namely with his knee. With some convincing and scrolling through the contestant list and seeing a gym leader, Niky promptly showed them the man. This challenge was to be done in pairs, and Gym Leader Devlin was...well, a gym leader. Who wouldn't want him as a partner for this? Normally, partners would be randomly selected, but they'll just make it seemingly "random" that they two got paired together.

The blonde had his A Team in form of Optimus the Metang, Slick the Bagon, Gojira the Larvetar, Sol the Larvesta, Fabia the Popplio, and Polygon the Porygon-Z. He was well prepared for the trip. Wearing a yellow graphic T-shirt, black skinny jeans with a knee brace on his left knee underneath, a fanny pack for his pokeballs, and his cane to help him walk. After getting to the island, the contestants were given the time limit, a rundown of the spiel and purpose of the contest, and what to expect. After being paired off, Niky walked over to the dark haired man with a small smile on his face. "Yo. I'm Niky Racz. Shall we?" Gojira was the first to come out of his pokeball, the little Larvitar prepared for trouble and ready to get going as well.

It wasn't often Niky was in Mauville. But with disaster averted, he had a particularly lucrative deal push through. And thus he was here. And so, might as well get some training done. Sol the Larvesta was pershed on his shoulder, ready to be aggressive towards anything and everything that moves here in the Mauville Hills. The Dj was wearing a plain blue shirt and sports shorts, with a black knee brace for his left knee. A cane rounded his outfit for the most part. He did keep his other five Pokeballs in a fannypack, and his spare ones in a different one on his right side. Though admittedly, if he did see a rare Pokemon, he'd go for it, but this trip was mostly training up his team. Since the dome had been busted, he was getting some very worried phone calls from other relatives, and it was annoying him. It actually made him consider doing the gym circuit, if nothing else but to prove he wasn't some weakling. But he also had work to do, too. Too many things to do...and so on the hunt he was again.

Niky had to suppress a laugh when Pluto was given the mic. After a round of applause for everyone, things went on for about another hour. Then people started to filter out of the place slowly, with the main event being done and all. There was still some socializing and so on, but otherwise, it got pretty tame. Once it seemed like things were pretty much done, Niky gave a last call for requests, and would then call it quits. There were a few, but not many. And once that round was done, he told all of his Pokemon to start wrapping it up. Lee, Slick, Optimus, and Gojira went to work unplugging cords and wires and putting up equipment. Niky started to do so as well, giving some instruction.

The head guy did come by to express his thanks, and that he would get him paid as soon as he was shown the invoice. Niky simply smiled and nodded, promising to have the invoice ready by the end of the week, showing the math and including the initial deposit. Still, he was given a crisp 100 PD bill as a tip and thanks. While he was busy, he didn't see much of this earlier two compatriots, but he'll likely see them again. If nothing else, but to do another one of these types of events.

Niky just kept doing his thing until the supervisor of the event went up to him, saying the new fashions were about to go live. And after a hand up to say four more songs, Niky obliged. After four more mixes, he spoke into a microphone. "Alrighty everyone, it seemes our sponsor is ready to show off the upcoming new fashions for the fall and winter months, let me turn it down and hand the floor to them!" The man went up to the podium, and started with thanking Niky and everyone there. He kept it short and sweet to try not to lose the energy in the room. And out came the models with the various winter wear. The DJ kept a good tune going, trying to match outfits with a specific musical style.

After showing off the new outfits, it was back to the music and the energy. Hopefully things can wind down a bit though, he actually wanted to get to bed at a decent time.
