What was that noise? Despite the thunderclouds above regaling her with lightning and, well, thunder, every so often, it was still somewhat quiet down here. A low rumble here and there, sure, but nothing so loud that it would draw her attention much. By now, it was just background noise, really.

Which was why when there was something out of the ordinary, she perked up, even tired as she was. And while her body was still overly young, her instincts were still the same. If something moves towards you at high speeds, you react to it. Could be just a trainer pulling a stunt or not noticing you. Could also be a wild on the hunt. She did not take the risk and forced herself to jump back onto her feet and move behind the ledge. It was not high enough to hide behind, but this would offer some cover.

Reaching for the ball containing her Metagross, she waited until the last moment to actually use it. Which was good, because the agility user rushing towards her had a rider. Just one it apparently did not like very much, seemingly trying to shake them off.
Lash really did not know what to make of that. So, she just quietly watched them, eyes focused on the woman in a bit of a stare, seeing how things would develop.

She really…should…have…picked up….a flier….Lash thought to herself as she huffed and puffed. Wiping a brow of sweat from her forehead, the little one looked up towards the thunderclouds above. Usually, she would find some kind of shelter to wait for a storm to pass when she came across one. Yet, this was no ordinary storm. It was fully localized around the peak of this mountain that she was trying to hike up. There was a trail, so that should be possible, at least if her legs did not give out until then. After all, whatever was going on up there could be a time-space-distortion.



It was certainly keeping most flying Pokemon from getting up there, at least. She had seen one brave soul try it on a Pidgeotto, only to be thrown back down to the ground. They fortunately caught one another, so no deaths as far as she could tell. But still, a flier could have taken her part of the way.

Lash sat down on a nearby outcropping to take a rest. Those small legs coupled with lower stamina certainly made hiking a lot more difficult than she was used to. Plus, the air was kind of cold in general, which the exertion only exacerbated. She panted a bit. Break was a good idea, really.

That kind of stung. His reply saw her taken aback, briefly. Mostly because she had had a similar experience. Ever since the one distortion that had done this to her, she had missed two due to them being on the other side of Hoenn and had not heard of any since. Which always brought that terrible, terrible thought to the forefront.

What if there weren’t going to be any more distortions, now that the meteor situation had been sorted out?

Now, Lash did appreciate not being blown up by that meteor. And, technically, her situation would eventually fix itself to a degree, simply due to herself ageing. But that still probably meant the better part of a decade being stuck living the hell of adolescence. It wasn’t just her mother who was unwilling to go through that again.

“I am not just looking for a Pokemon…” she started, voice going flat. “But I don’t expect someone like you to understand, pah.” Having come back from that brief bout of defeatism, she pouted now before turning on her heel and decidedly walking off in the opposite direction, showing him what was what. Granted, it probably achieved nothing, but that wasn’t the point. Not really. It was just her acting out her own frustrations, in a way.

On closer inspection, the other trainer seemed young as well. Seemed young, she corrected herself. Ugh. This was very frustrating already. Lash sighed once more, irked by her own thoughts all the same. Not exactly that boy’s fault, really. He seemed to act reasonably, well, reasonable in just about any regard there, so she had little reason to complain other than her own neuroses that arose from her situation.

Once again a sigh, as she watched her Toxel follow the floating Tinkaton, clearly interested in what was going on. It still had to learn and grow itself, so an unusual sight like that just kind of interested it greatly. “I guess bringing it to a Pokemon Center is the reasonable course of action,” she replied, banishing more final solutions from her mind. This was a young boy, not a seasoned hunter keeping the local population of dangerous critters under control. Best to not treat him like one. “Oh an I am Lash, at least that’s what people call me. Was looking for a space-time distortion since I heard talk of rare Pokemon. Did you happen to see any of those around here?”

Could not hurt to ask, after all.

That huge chunk – or maybe hunk? – of metal sure was an answer to itself. Lash really should get herself one of those one day. For the moment, she still had to rebuild after being caught off-guard by the de-aging when she had just unloaded her stash. There was Metagross, certainly, but it was the presence of another here, ironically, that saw her go for Toxel instead. It was better suited to her current appearance and she did not want to play her hand completely. After all, this was a stranger with powerful Pokemon that she met out in the wild. While he had been helpful so far, she was not going to just up and trust him anytime soon. Well, not more than anyone else, really.

Instead, she would keep an ace in the hole just in case. Better to have and not need than to need and not have, really. But that did not mean that one should just discard the little one, either. “Don’t let it run off, Nuzzle,” she ordered the little one and as dutifully as it came, the toxic rodent dashed after the Tinkaton right as it was trying to leave and hit it with an electrical tackle, the paralyze stopping it in its track, if only briefly. “Well, if you want to stop it, better stop it properly. If we let it leave it will just come back either with more or just stronger. Those kinds of Pokemon don’t just tug in their tails and leave forever.” That was probably not the best thing to say for her guise, but she was not exactly playing a role here. Lash was still Lash and she knew quite a bit about wild Pokemon. She was not going to pretend she was stupid or inexperienced just for the sake of it.
Heck, she hated it when people went and treated her like a kid. She was not going to give them much of a reason to do so.

This descent was….surprisingly pleasant? Having closed her eyes when she started falling, Lash now opened them, blinking, to try to figure it out. Took a few moments, but she did notice the Beheeyem near her eventually and put two and two together. This was some kind of psychic ability slowing her descent.

Not bad. A short sigh of relief as she felt solid ground below her again, Lash decided to stop being stupid and put at least a bit of game face on. She might look like this, but she wasn’t some hapless child! No, definitely not. Instead, she went and pulled out a pokeball from her pocket, releasing her Toxel. Against this thing she had no great matchups but at least this one wouldn’t be weak to either it had to offer.

However, since someone else had already intervened in the fight she decided to not do anything yet while the Tinkaton retrieved its hammer, the erstwhile sparring partner of it just looking on as if to leave this to its opposite for now. “Hey there. Thank you for the help. You planning on fighting this or just leaving?” After all, this person had helped her. Would be rude to pull them into a fight they did not want. Though she herself wanted a little bit of payback at least.

This wasn’t a distortion, sadly. Lash sighed, kicking an errand stone in frustration. She had come here due to the rumour of strange Pokemon being sighted and causing a ruckus. That was sometimes a tell that a distortion was happening nearby. Sadly though, now that she was on a small ledge overlooking where some of the Tinkaton were either fighting or sparring with one another. Those were rare Pokemon, yes, but only in this region. She’d never seen any here so far. But in Paldea, they were considered rather common – a far cry from the seemingly time-displaced Pokemon she encountered in the distortions. They were rare here, but this was rather a mystery of how they migrated here, rather than why they existed at all.

She put her Pokedex away for the time being, then grumbled again, kicking another stone.

Only this time, she put in a bit too much force. The broker did still not completely have complete control over those sorts of things, especially when agitated. Granted, even an angry kick in this body did not have all that much power. But it was enough to carry the stone, really just a pebble, much further than intended. Small as it might be, it was enough to be noticed when she hit one of the Tinkaton on the head. And that one threw something back towards her.

Only it threw a hammer, with great force, right at the earthen ledge she was standing on. Or maybe it missed in that short-fused reaction. Either way, it started to crumble in dust immediately. To her credit, she was already dashing away when she noticed that she was noticed. But one, Lash was still too slow to make that much of a difference. And for the other, well, she ran to the side instead of just backwards, back into the woods. Hence, the shockwave of the impact hit her enough for a stagger, then a messy slide down the ledge along with a surprised “Eeep!” of sorts.

[attr="class","freiwantbot"]















[break]




[break][break]

Lasciel always had a bit of a problem with her name. Her mother hailed from Kalos and the two of them barely got along, which did not make it any better. She tended to go by her nickname Lash most of the time. And from there it was only one letter away from ‘leash’ which probably at least in part informed her choice of vocation, ultimately. Despite being a bit of a delinquent, she finished school with a penchant for Pokemon catching in particular, so she first sought out to become a professional trainer. Then, she realized that there was quite a bit of money in catching specific Pokemon for other people, so instead she got into that. [break][break] That kind of occupation eventually brought her in contact with Team Rocket, which she helped supply and tentatively joined, though she mostly saw it as a business association, really. It just opened up a lot of illegal channels to acquire or sell Pokemon on.

[break][break]

But all of that ended up not mattering when, looking for those new and fancy other forms of Pokemon, she sought out space-time distortions. The first two went fine, even lucrative. The third ended up sort of destroying her life, really. For one, she didn’t catch anything worthwhile. For the other, it ended up taking years from her life. As in, it ended up making her younger. Which was probably nice for most people. [break][break]

Only in her case, it made her too young. Which caused all sorts of problems. Most people refused to truly recognize her – some for their own gain, others just because they did not really believe that distortions truly could do such a thing. As such, she lost in succession her job (since few people wanted to buy Pokemon from someone that young), her boyfriend and many of the freedoms she was accustomed to. Especially drinking. Could not even drown her sorrows at all. [break][break]

Thus, at the present time, she appears to mostly be an angry gremlin. Ticked off by so many things, she is pretending to be a young trainer on a journey, mostly in the hopes of coming across another distortion and somehow fix this. But also in part because her family refuses to simply take her back in on the account of, and to quote her mother “I dealt with this once. Never again.”
