With the way the ash fall swirled around them, it reminded him so much of the Sand Stream ability—only instead of it being dirt and swirling grit, it was literal volcanic ash coming from the top of Mount Chimney raining down all around them.

He was right to offer Miss Elise a mask, after all.

“Wait, don’t tell me you’re—” he would trail off, before realizing that the Calyrex was back and now trying to peer into the future—

Would that work?

“You think ’s out here, just hiding in some like… ‘secret base’ somewhere and laughing his ass off watching everyone panic?” he would muse out loud as the Lucario would then attempt to do an ‘aura sweep’ around the immediate area to pick up any unfamiliar signs of life that they would otherwise miss.

“…because if he is, it’s working.”

Every Good Thing in this World Started With a Dream [S]

“I was—in the middle of giving my Salamence a bath,” he would explain; because he had a feeling Beck was sizing him up due to the way he appeared.

“But apparently he doesn’t like cold water as I belatedly discovered.”

(Who knew what the two ‘old men’ idiots were doing outside?)

Either way…

“You can call me Alex—most everyone here does,” he would introduce himself, patting his hands dry before holding one out to Beck for the other to shake (or not).

Regardless if that was done or not, he would continue, “So, surprise circumstance aside, what can you bring to the table for me with taking care of Flying-types in general?”

He would mentally apologize if the question came out of nowhere, but it was better to get the ‘interview’ started now that they were here.

“Oh, and follow me—I’ll show you around the grounds.”

He would then lead the way towards the left-hand side of the door; the one that opened to the rather expansive grounds of the Sanctuary proper. There were several aviaries in the distance; and most of (if not all of) them had Pokémon coming and going from within.

If he were to notice, it wasn’t just Flying-types that had run of the place here—there were other Pokémon also idling around the area; and none of them looked dangerous. In fact all of the other wandering Pokémon belonged to the other staff members that also worked here.

The moment he saw the Hatterene once they were back in reality, he couldn’t help but crack this knowing grin. Hopefully now that they were out of there, he could… okay, just to be on the safe side…

A beam of red light from one of the few Pokéballs he carried with him revealed the actual Ribombee, Carina, who would then immediately make a beeline his way and then quite literally… sit on his nose. Just because she liked it there.

“I know you were watching, so… this is the real Carina. Definitely not like the sassy one you’ve seen in the pocket realm,” he would cackle quietly, before the tiniest fluttering of delicate wings would have the dual-type Pokémon move to his shoulder.

“Wait, are you telling me people actually lost their names while in there?” he would blink. Clearly they hadn’t known about Galarian stories about the fae, did they…

“Well, for one thing… what would’ve happened if I was an idiot and gave my name?” he would ask; the inevitable question escaping him before he could stop his brain from asking it.

Too many what-ifs!

“Fastest way we can check if there’s anything around? One sec.”

He would then rummage around his pockets, before pulling out a Friend Ball and two Moon Balls, before popping them open and summoning his Braviary; Salamence; and Lucario.

“Kyouya, Gabe. Can you help us search from the skies?” he would ask the two, who were about to start arguing like the old men that they were.

“We’re out here looking for someone, let us know if you find anything, okay?”

The two would give him this searching look, before squawking and growling quietly and then taking off to fly into the ashen skies above them.

“Meanwhile, Vincent can help us out down here with his aura powers…”

The Lucario would nod their way.

“Hey, I’m just being practical out here.”

“I would advise that you go get him, sit down somewhere quiet, and then talk. Like, really talk.”

If there was one thing he’d easily noticed between the two of them, it was the fact that they… weren’t really open in the ‘communicating’ part of things. And that was bad, because of either one of them let it go on for much longer…

“You know, you two should really talk more often. That’s the given when it comes to being in the middle of a relationship, especially one that’s turning out like this. You’re hiding a lot of things from him. Who knows what things he’s hiding from you. And that’s not healthy at all.”

He would pinch the bridge of his nose (much like the way a certain friend of his would whenever he was about to get exasperated or lose his shit) before taking another deep breath to calm down.

“If you two don’t start communicating now, then who knows how shit would get when you two get into a fight… it’s going to get ugly, that’s for sure.”

Why did it sound like he was speaking from experience…?

“…you better get that appointment with the higher-ups as soon as you can, because, well…” he would trail off, giving a dirty look that ended in a random direction somewhere.

“…if you don’t tell them you’re in possession of something—well, someone like them, you might get into a lot of trouble.”

Did it sound like he was speaking from experience? Oh, abso-fucking-lutely.

“See, the thing is… you know how the League wants to… well, keep their eyes on as many people as possible, especially ones who have companions that are clearly legendary in nature…” he would trail off as he released a minute sigh.

“…I can’t help but get the feeling that they might take them away from us if we do something stupid like break the law, or oh I don’t know… defect to the opposite side?”

There was a sarcastic bite in the last few words he said.

Eggtra Delivery Runs [M]

“Oh, she does?” he would continue, while not looking up from the list of people where they had to make deliveries to.

First on the list was…

“Aha… I know where she lives,” he would say, indicating the ‘brunette with the blue dress’ remark. “Miss Bertha’s at work around this time so let me take you to her shop so we can drop off her delivery there first.”

And then they would begin their leisurely stroll through the town.

“Speaking of which, did you know that Ravana actually won a contest here?” he would continue with that same, quiet, shit-eating grin on his face.

“She’s the toughest in the land! Dunno if you’ve seen any of the Toukon contests, though. The most recent one hosted by so…”

The moment the Celesteela had crossed the Sanctuary’s borders, all it would take would be for him to guide the ‘moon princess’ towards the flat on the grounds, before bringing her to a complete stop.

“Alright, let me just…” he continued, looking down and realizing that it was going to be a rather steep climb downward; and he wasn’t feeling all too well to make the jump. Yikes.

Due to the random hodgepodge and mishmash of Pokémon he had with him, asides from the ‘moon princess’ he didn’t have Gabriel or Kyouya; at least he had Vincent but he was pretty sure the Lucario couldn’t fly…

“Can you help me down, Kaguya?” he would ask the Celesteela; once the ‘exhaust rockets’ had quieted down and there was enough space for him to make the…

Landing.

Now, here’s hoping that a certain someone hadn’t gotten another stress haircut because he’d disappeared… and never mind that he was still wearing the strange ‘prison clothing’ from where he’d been unceremoniously taken to.

He thought he’d be able to land the ‘headshot of a lifetime’ the moment the Flash Cannon had left the Celesteela’s long-arm, however… it petered out, for some reason.

“Kaguya? What happened?” he would ask her, to which the Ultra Beast would give a noise of dissent which he knew to mean that she had no idea…

“…sparing them would only bring even more trouble than there already is,” he would continue in the same exhausted tone; because holy shit he was physically and mentally exhausted beyond endurance at this point. The moment that this strange, pink-colored rift opened, he wished to be in one, and one place alone—

As they were taken back to Hoenn, the sight of the gigantic Celesteela arriving just as dusk had fallen on Fortree’s horizon would startle many; however the Ultra Beast would make her way towards the Sanctuary, where he was more than certain someone was waiting for him…

CANON ACTIVITY CHECK VIII
POSTED ON May 30, 2024 21:17:44 GMT
Alexei Ivanov Avatar
[nospaces]
[attr="class","milkyac"]

CANON AC TEMPLATE


MAY 2024 CANON ACTIVITY CHECK

[break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]

4 ic posts for canon characters:



summarize 2 plots that are in-progress and being threaded:


  • 1. FORTREE GYM: PREPARING THE FUTURE [break]
    Due to the war looming on the horizon, most of the challengers coming by to the Fortree Gym are seeking out traditional matches—something that Alex here personally admits is not his strongest suite.[break][break]

    While there are a few challengers who chose the non-traditional challenge (and that makes him immensely happy) he knows that it’s inevitable—war is coming and there’s nothing he can do to stop it. The best that he can do, is to send off all the challengers who come by the Fortree Gym with the Skyrider Badge, as proof that they are indeed capable of aerial combat.[break][break]

    Ongoing challenges include the following:[break]


  • 2. SUPPORT PILLAR & THE LOOMING WAR [break]
    If he wasn’t gay, then who knows how this would’ve turned out?[break][break]

    While he knows that miss is busy being the ambassador and all that, he’s always made it a point to just be there for her when she needs someone to talk to about many, many things. Even though their connection had been initially forged back in ‘Goodbye Galar’, fact of the matter is they hit the ground running stronger than ever.[break][break]

    He was one of the first people that she would visit with regards to being with Calyrex and he would offer her the sagest, straightest advice he can: to let the higher-ups know right away about the new development. The reason for this is because he’s already gotten into trouble for hiding something important from the rest of the Gym Leaders and the League at large (hello Gym Jam) and wouldn’t want her to get into the same pitfall that he already got himself into.[break][break]

    Asides from him meeting with the shard Calyrex, the two have gotten even close while talking about everyday life, among other things; and he has even given her advice on how to handle the current situation she’s having with her romantic partner.[break][break]

    In other things while building from the aftermath of Gym Jam, there’s something brewing between him and ; something that may never be repaired should things go a certain way. While this is just the opening act of the ‘betrayal arc’ between him and Mauville’s Gym Leader, the rest of what’s already been planned will certainly be explosive, all things considered.[break][break]

    On the ‘war’ front side of things, he’s already made plans with regarding practicing how to handle Dynamax when the time comes. Another training session has been planned with as well, since (to the best of his memory) he recalls the VCT champion being one of those who are eager to get cracking with Dynamax.[break][break]

    While he’s already made up his mind to not be on the front lines when the inevitable war arc appears, he’s there to support and help out with whatever else is needed for the League’s efforts.[break][break]

    (This is, of course, pending his own possible sanction/s and/or suspensions for the gaffe he’d committed back in Gym Jam.)


if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:


  • 1. AVATARSHIP: LEGENDARY[break]
    n/a but I feel he gonna get into much trouble bc he kept the Stormbringer a secret for so long


  • any notes/comments: is this sufficient enough for the vibe check?

He really was much safer up on Kaguya, all things considered.

“Why should we grant her mercy, though?” he would scoff to himself; observing everything going down from his perch, letting out a sigh.

Of course, he doesn’t miss the way a certain someone () goes all berserk against the one begging for mercy, and he quietly files away that information for later. Yes, later.

However, it is Miss ’s actions that catch him by surprise—then again, seeing ’s Zekrom make an appearance and clear the way for pretty much a lot of other people to strike down their imprisoner made sense.

There was one thing he wanted, though. He wanted to go the fuck home, to where was waiting (and possibly throwing a shit fit of panic looking for him) and to unwind.

…nobody was coming out of this a hundred percent whole, himself included. Way past endurance, way past everything, way past…

“This is stupid,” he would grumble to nobody; while he felt the vibrations of his ‘moon princess’ Kaguya the Celesteela adjust themselves above most of the crowd.

“You know what? Tempted am I to stay out of this… we have to at least do something so we can all go home.”

With that, the Ultra Beast would pivot in mid-air, changing position before raising one of their ‘cannon arms’ and preparing a Flash Cannon shot.

“Go,” he would whisper a few moments later; and the Celesteela would cackle before firing off the Flash Cannon attack and aiming at Cyllora.

He was just so tired of… everything.

initially tempted to stay out of this, but well, there’s no trusting a space cannibal when you see one
“Let us go the fuck home, man.”
• Celesteela adjusts position from mid-air, firing off a Flash Cannon attack aimed at Cyllora
• vote: off with Cyllora’s head! (can’t spare the Pecharunt now can we?)

“I heard through the grapevine that his partner, well… refused to have a state funeral. So I don’t believe that he’s really dead…”

He would shrug, before having to put on a face mask because Mount Chimney was incredibly sooty and would pose a health risk if they stayed around the area too long.

“Here, Miss Elise, take a face mask,” he would offer his companion before they started searching.

Safety first, after all!

“You think we’ll find anything out here, under all the ash…?” he continued; though he was skeptical.

From what he knew about , the other had a tendency to shy and/or hide away from the spotlight unless absolutely needed…

The ‘not-Carina’ was just about pretty much ready to scream when—they blinked.

Wait, back up—what just happened?! Whoa, what?

‘You did not just—’

“Outsmart? I don’t know about that, they don’t seem too pleased to see me,” he would shrug as the Queen of the Realm passed judgment on him—them—him maybe, them? Not sure…

“I wouldn’t know how you could handle my partner, anyway,” he would hum quietly as he took a bow and walked around the throne.

“He’s rather… unique, in a way,” he would add before this quiet little grin would flash across his face.

“…he’d certainly know it wasn’t me, if we switched places, at any rate.”

With that, they would pass through the ‘portal’…

From up on his vantage point—it was like the time when the ‘battle for Galar’ happened in the pocket dimension where he’d accidentally Dynamaxed the Stormbringer happening all over again; but this time he was now on the back of his ‘moon princess’.

I feel safer up here… he thought; watching the madness break out—now that the masks were not obscuring their faces, he got a clear view of what was happening all around.

“Shit,” he quietly hissed as he looked skyward and saw that there was something descending on one side of the field where most of everyone from the Weakling Ward had gathered (or dispersed; from this high an angle it was hard to tell at times) and realized that—

“Kaguya, fly me low to where they are on the ground,” he would whisper; and before long the flight trajectory would switch ground ward; but still staying aloft.

Soon as he was as close enough to whoever was closest, he would point in the direction of the descending mask (that really looked like a gigantic fly swatter at this point) and yell, as best as he could manage, “Go for the mask! It doesn’t look like any kind of normal Dynamaxing barrier I’ve seen so far! Let’s stop it before it squashes us all!”

He hoped that whoever was nearest where he’d hovered for a few seconds would hear him, before the Celesteela shot back up towards the sky—and then realized something rather belatedly.

“Let’s get this fucker,” he would growl, pulling down the goggles perched in his hair before pointing straight at the closest part of the barrier they could reach.

“GO!”



The shiny Celesteela would then fly forward; swinging her rocket-arms wide in preparation for a dangerous, risky Heavy Slam attack at the closest barrier segment they could reach from their vantage point—with him hanging on for dear deer fucking life because of the impending impact of the attack that could send them careening if they weren’t careful!

And just in case, he reached for the chain where his bird whistle hung; and quietly pulled off the purple-and-green feather that was tied there.


While there was only one on his person at the moment, he would then point the purple tip at the direction of the Okidogi; before letting it fly from his fingers.

May the djinni protect us all.

jojfgQBU



how ‘bout a lil’ music to set the MOOD?
• Birddad™ up in the air, can see the monkas happening all over; flying closest to the Okidogi side
freaks out a lil when he sees the barriers, shit that looks WAY sturdier than the time he and practiced at Lilycove!
• he then asks his ‘moon princess’ Celesteela to fly downwards; closest to where they can (the Weakling Ward people if they haven’t dispersed yet) and delivers information about how much thicker the barrier seems to be as compared to normal Dynamaxing ‘barriers’ he’s encountered so far
• after delivering the message, Celesteela flies back up and gets ready
• has a faster moving speed due to the Autotomize from earlier
• Celesteela charging forward, using Heavy Slam to attempt breaking a barrier segment on Okidogi!
• pulling out one Tornadus feather; pointing it at the Okidogi’s direction and letting it fly! (HELLO, been a while since these feathers were last SEEN!)

anyone close by or who wants to hear him yelling about the segments lmk
