Frank trudged down the forest trail through Route 120, breathing deeply of the fresh, autumnal air. Though Hoenn's climate was more tropical than he was used to, the weather lately had felt less hot and humid—and he was grateful for it.[break][break]

Rounding a bend in the trail, Frank spotted a familiar young woman waiting a short distance away. He waved and shouted to get her attention. "Yuina! Hey, sorry I'm late!"[break][break]

He strode toward her, his Lopunny by his side. Dante was a recent acquisition but a personal favorite already, made all the more fascinating due to the Lopunnite he'd come with.[break][break]

Both Pokémon and Mega Stone had, unfortunately, been rewards from Frank's most recent clients. And nothing indebted one man to another like gifts.[break][break]

"How've you been?" he asked Yuina once he was at her side.

Frank grinned. "Let me know if you do. I can recommend some places to check out."[break][break]

He finished his own meal at the same time that Yuina finished hers. Unfortunately, their meeting was not one that allowed for further leisurely conversation; she had to return to work, and he had to get home.[break][break]

"Don't worry about it, Yuina. I had fun hanging out with you here. But next time, let's get food in a more typical setting, yeah?"[break][break]

Frank chuckled, gathering the used takeaway boxes and utensils into the plastic bags he'd initially used to carry them. He'd already spotted a trash can not too far away, on the route he planned to take to leave the museum.[break][break]

With a wave of his hand, he bade Yuina farewell. "Anyway, good luck with the rest of work tonight. I'll talk to you later."

BUSINESS AS USUAL [M]

So far, Hazel seemed to be withholding judgment, so Frank pressed on despite his nervousness. He despised feeling awkward and vulnerable like this; it went against his nature as a charming guy who made people comfortable.[break][break]

Better to rip the bandage off, then, instead of tiptoe around it. "Embezzlement, tax evasion, and money laundering," he said, bluntly.[break][break]

Hazel's careful smile was reassuring, at the very least. Frank found himself smiling back, trying to soften the blow of honest admission.[break][break]

"And yes, you're right. The connections I forge now matter the most. I thought the RotomTV connection was solid, but even I could not predict their change of mind."[break][break]

He did not dare mention the business contract he'd entered with Cillian Quinn, a known criminal, whose deep pockets were keeping Frank's own company afloat for the time being. But one client alone could not support an entire business.[break][break]

It was only a matter of time before Caffey Financial Group went under.

"Johto! Lovely, lovely region. I've only visited it once, and not for very long, but it really is beautiful there," Frank said, feeling much more animated now that he and Yuina were discussing more exciting topics.[break][break]

The memory was not a good one—he and his ex-wife had argued during the whole trip—but he did recall the gorgeous landscape with its cascade of autumnal colors. The gambling halls had been addicting, too.[break][break]

"We stayed in Ecruteak for a couple of nights but were mostly in Goldenrod City."[break][break]

Frank chewed and swallowed more of his dinner before replying to Yuina's question. His two Persian, meanwhile, lounged at his feet, Regina's head resting on Rex's back.[break][break]

"Unova is a super fun place. There's so much to do, whether you want to go skiing and snowboarding up Icirrus City, enjoy the sand and surf of Undella Town, or experience the cosmopolitan metropolis of Black City."[break][break]

His tone and expression took on a measure of wistfulness.[break][break]

"I love it there, honestly. There's no other place quite like Black City. You should make a trip, if you ever get the chance."

Frank felt a small pang of disappointment when the woman in Lopunny ears retreated back to her friends, no candy exchanged or arrangement made. But the feeling melted away at the sound of Damien's good-natured teasing.[break][break]

"Sometimes people like ridiculous!" Frank said, laughing. "They find it endearing. Anyway, let's keep going."[break][break]

It did not take long for him to forget about the woman. All around them were other possibilities ripe for the picking; they just had to find the right kind of entertainment for the night.[break][break]

"Anyone or anything catch your eye?" he asked, considering that Damien should choose for them both. After all, the younger man had more specific tastes.

"Whoa, really?" Frank took the proffered flowers and propped his sunglasses—which he had indeed been wearing despite the late hour—onto his head for a better look at the colorful blossoms.[break][break]

"I wasn't being serious but these are suuuuper—"[break][break]

Whatever he was about to say died on his tongue when a bright light flashed, reminding him of MEGA EVOLUTION. But instead of a single Pokémon transforming, an entire squad of Palafin swam into the space between him and the strange girl.[break][break]

"What the fuck!" Frank exclaimed as one of them bowled him right over. He landed hard on his backside. His sunglasses knocked over into the shadows, but at least he held onto the flowers.[break][break]

"What's happening?!"

A wicked smile spread across Frank's face as the woman approached and offered her wares. He did not bother glancing into her bag of candy, knowing the suggestion for what it was. Instead, his violet eyes cruised over her lithe body, barely covered in the skimpy lingerie.[break][break]

"Why can't a man have both?" he said with a laugh.[break][break]

Then he gave Damien a one-armed squeeze. Because despite everything, Frank was there with Damien; he wasn't about to leave his friend behind.[break][break]

"Unfortunately, my buddy and I are a package deal, and you're not his type. But if you have a friend with a king-sized RAGE CANDY BAR between his legs, we'll take you both," Frank said in his most charming salesman's voice.

Frank sat next to Yuina with his takeout box of steaming hot Johtonian food resting in his lap. He spooned teriyaki chicken into his mouth as he listened to her musings.[break][break]

"It is pretty depressing, isn't it? But I guess history isn't always full of happy, fun stuff."[break][break]

He was not a man who liked to dwell on depressing events, however; they made him uncomfortable, as if his stomach was full of GASTRO ACID. Quickly, he segued into a different topic.[break][break]

"What were you doing before coming here?" he asked Yuina, curious about her personal history. "I'm from Unova myself. I was working in Black City but had a bit of bad luck and decided to come here instead."

Dressed in a bespoke three-piece suit, Frank walked down a corridor, the kind that felt like it went on for miles. That did not phase him, however. Why should it? All the years of hard work had finally paid off.[break][break]

He had been chosen as the next CEO of Edison Financials. Thanks to his efforts, the Fortune 500 company had seen tremendous growth in the last year. And his predecessor had primed him to lead it into an even better future.[break][break]

Frank walked through the hallway into a meeting with key shareholders. He flashed them his most charming smile, shook their hands, and reassured them with steady, confident words. They seemed pleased, even relieved.[break][break]

Frank walked through the hallway into a ballroom decorated for a gala, where he was the honored guest. Instead of a suit, he wore a tuxedo; guests swarmed him to offer their congratulations. He gave a toast to the future of Edison Financials and wrote a massive check to a charity for impoverished youths.[break][break]

Frank walked through the hallway into a car dealership's showroom. Only the most expensive vehicles of the year were gathered there, waiting for sale. He ran his hand over the black leather interior of a Lamborghini and imagined driving it through the streets of downtown Black City.[break][break]

Frank walked down the hallway of his luxury apartment, entering the living area. The massive floor-to-ceiling windows provided a breathtaking view of the city skyline at night. He sat down on the couch next to DAMIEN RUSSO and handed him an envelope.[break][break]

"For your parents. It should be enough to pay off their mortgage and put your siblings through college. Every single one of them."[break][break]

He kissed the top of Damien's head.[break][break]

"I told you I'd take care of you. Anything you need, amorino. It's yours."

Frank chuckled and waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. "It's fine. We should eat now while the food is hot!"[break][break]

He started unpacking the cartons of takeout on a nearby table. As he passed Yuina a set of plastic utensils and chopsticks, he looked up at the banners she'd been putting up.[break][break]

"So this is the exhibit you're working hard on, huh? About the meteoroid from last year? You know, I wasn't around for that." A measure of thoughtfulness entered his face. "I bet it was something else, living here and thinking you were going to face certain doom."[break][break]

The relief in the aftermath must have been so palpable. Even though Terastallization had come to Hoenn afterward, allowing Pokémon to SHAPESHIFT in a way. Even though the rifts to the Ultra Wilds had opened.[break][break]

Even though the region remained in constant danger.

SLAKING OFF [M]

POSTED ON Oct 21, 2023 22:08:13 GMT

[nospaces]

[attr="class","frank2"]

[attr="class","body"]

The SWEET SCENT certainly caught Frank's attention. He wasn't the only one to look around for its source, then look up to find the Ranger riding atop his Tropius, giving directions to every civilian with a Pokémon.[break][break]

Having none out himself, Frank remained where he sat on the back of his new motorcycle. He did flip down the kickstand and turn off the engine, though. He didn't know what the Ranger planned to do or how long it would take, so he'd rather not waste gas.[break][break]

The Slaking itself continued to slumber. Uttering an even louder snore than before, it scratched at its chest with one massive claw, then rolled onto its back and splayed out its limbs.[break][break]

Frank looked up, observing the Ranger with mild amusement. How would the man take care of this predicament? Would he MEGA EVOLVE one of his Pokémon? Use a Psychic-type? Entice the Slaking with delicious-smelling treats?[break][break]

Either way, it was sure to be a spectacle.

Frank had waited fifteen minutes at the appointed Johtonian restaurant before finding out that Yuina wouldn't be able to make it. The museum exhibit demanded all of her attention; she needed to complete it before leaving for the night.[break][break]

So Frank decided to do the fun thing and grab takeout for them both.[break][break]

He walked through the halls of the museum, following signs for the new exhibit until he found the woman standing on her Voltorb, of all Pokémon.[break][break]

"Do you need a hand?" he said with a laugh as he put down plastic bags full of delicious food, from sushi to SLOWPOKE TAILS. His two Persian, Rex and Regina, lingered beside them to stand guard.
