To be honest, Xuying isn't ... really sure how he ended up in this sort-of high-end, sort-of not-really kind of masquerade ball. Something-something about filling in for another, one of the fleeting acquaintances he made while browsing one of those novel (not really) technology and media stores. The other has bought him a new laptop in exchange for the scientist attending, so ... hey. Yeah. Why not? He can mingle with some strangers that he won't even have to remember, with all this masks thing. At least it hasn't required him to get much more than a mask after brushing off some of his better clothes, a strange conundrum that reminds of a science laboratory - of the fragility of butterfrees, something lined in gold, warm greys and ashen white.[break]
[break]
He doesn't look that bad, he doesn't think, but it's not like he is dying to leave an impression. Instead, he just enjoys the glass of orange juice that he got from the bartender, having wrestled it out of their hands with a delightful smile over their grimace, swirling the contents of the glass as he sighs. "What a boring facade ..." And for how long is that supposed to go on again?

To be honest, he has not expected this kind of turn of events - unaware of the wars raging behind this man, the kind of anger that must ignite in this moment in the other he has guessed to be more level-headed in their recent interactions ... but he figures, everyone has something that enrages them - a different reaction to all that is and isn't happening in the world. Specifically as she is privy to knowledge that must have slipped him in the times he spent in Unova, isolated in the Pinwheel Forest and dedicated to fixing the small and big problems of the coven around the tech they have.[break]
[break]
But, sure - if she'd like to follow that path, he won't quite so hinder that from happening, even as his battle prowess is next to none. Still, he summons X the Metagross to his side, "Hyper Beam on that guy!"

Thankfully, the other doesn't seem like he's about to send Xuying away from this sheer impossible journey that they're about to embark on, so he gestures for the Metagross to fly a little lower, hoping on as he makes himself comfortable on the flat surface of steel, sitting down in tailor's fashion with his legs crossed. "Hm? Oh, yeah - you could say that," he replies to Josh, "and any type of rock, quite ... There is also something interesting about the type of mineral those terastral ones are encased in, isn't there?" They certainly look quite pretty, some of the rock samples he collected thus far even shimmering in a kind of emerald ethereality.[break]
[break]
Catching the Luxio, he easily pockets the Pokéball for later documentation, looking at Josh and nodding at his words. Ah ... is he talking about Luxray? Not exactly what he had in mind, but - sure, perhaps, why not. "I'll keep that in mind! Gonna get the specifics of this evolution down first, though ..." Xuying hums as they go further into the caves. Every once in a while, he and the Metagross would fly closer to the cave's walls, collecting loose rocks and stones and hitting off some samples for him to examine in his leisure time.[break]
[break]
It's when he has a particularly shiny example in his hands, holding it against the lights that even seem to reach this place to analyse it further when- "Hey! What- now you wait!" he shouts out, the Metagross immediately going in pursuit after the rock-stealing Wattrel that makes his appearance. Xuying, with grim determination, is quick to throw a Pokéball at the bird, hmph-ing as he collects the ball. Guess he'll have to deal with both Pokémon and rock now ... Looking over to Josh, however, his face morphs to a friendly smile again, "so, what did you say about what you're here for again? Gonna battle them?"

Thankfully, it seems like Josh isn't hell-bent on fighting the onslaught of honestly-whatever-mess-of-a-fight-this-is-right-now that appears, although he has quite interesting Pokémon to make their foes slow down in this moment, brilliance shimmering starkly against the evernight sky of this forlorn city of a future that may or may not come. He only is able to register the Pokémon as Pyroars before everything is engulfed in a brilliant light, shifting the scene to a completely different one - one where he has to yet artfully dodge again.[break]
[break]
"Not another fight ... hey, but you're still here, too! Cool - cool, cool, cool," Xuying is quick to notice the one trainer - the familiar figure that also seems as out of place as he is, considering how everyone else is quite stubbornly fighting the Legendary Pokémon that's afoot. That ... he also doesn't really recognise. But as Dark Void is about to consume this whole place, he's immediately bringing out Y the Rotom, shouting, "heck no, not today! Shock Wave!" It doesn't seem like any of his Pokémon will be good, but hopefully, it'll amount to something as he tries to dodge out of the way.

Hello Darkness, my old friend ...[break]

Though, it's probably not that bad. His shin still hurts from that one Torchic's kick, though, and he isn't even sure where she ran off to, again, since she seems to find the idea of a Pokéball fairly optional. Hah ... whatever. It's not like he takes her on much adventures, so he guesses she can just widdle off to her own if she so pleases. At least she is usually lured back by the premise of a meal. Now, though, as he enters the Safari Zone for the second time, his typical companions of Y and Z accompanying him as X takes a backseat, he looks around to see what there else might be in this space that seems to change every once in a while to accommodate the various Pokémon species.

He honestly hasn't thought much about the voice - not to the extent that it seems to matter, much more than some sorry meme about professors of a past bygone ... It makes him shiver himself, though he'll definitely have to remember 'Macadamia guy'. "Can't say I've heard of it, no ... sounds sketchy," Xuying remarks, eyebrows furrowed as he looks at the simple PokéGear device that seems to hold much more than meets the eye. Still, before it can speak again any more and while Andrea is still explaining things, he takes the closest hammer he can find, and give it a couple of good, hard hits until it is even more broken down than it used to be.[break]
[break]
Just as he contemplates hitting it another time, just to be sure, it seems that one figure after another - one sketchier than the other - is morphing forth from the changing simulation. And one he cannot help but step back from, looking over to the Fuecoco-esque appearance beside him. "Do you know this guy? What should we do?" he whispers to her.

Upon by the stranger's quick work and the Annihilape's strength, he applauds a little, gloved fingers clapping dimly against another. "Impressive! You are quite the formidable trainer," he compliments in sincerity - it also means that in those unfamiliar terrains, he probably should really stick to her if he doesn't want to meet an early end, or sustain much too many injuries (although he isn't quite aware of the other's plans to use him as decoy - fodder, possibly, for the wild ones). Xuying's seemingly jolly expression takes on a more serious edge, smiling yet as he nods, "oh, it seems you are taking the words out of my mouth, I was just wondering if it weren't smart to team up!" This way, at least, he hopefully has someone to watch his back ... right? "My name is Zhou Xuying, by the way - you can also call me XY, or XYZ, if you'd like."[break]
[break]
And thus, a possibly strange alliance is formed under the brightly blue sapphire sky as he looks around the white wastelands. "Now that that's out of the way, I wonder - are you here to find new Pokémon?" Xuying barely finished his sentence when he notices another pair of wild pokémon in vicinity. Readying a pokéball, he has his eyes set on the Forretress - with something like an alarming look, even, as he vaguely remember ... but that one can self-destruct, right? Better take it out quickly, so he throws a pokéball before looking over to the other.

Nodding as Josh settled on what to call him, the next question leaves him with something like a bemused smile. It's only right to ask why someone as him - as inexperienced in battle and such that he is - would be in such a place like here. "Simply put - science, I guess," Xuying replies with nonchalance that betrays the gravity of the situation. "I'm looking for certain types of rocks, is the longer answer - and there is no such thing as experience gained without the possibility of risk, no?" Is he spatting nonsense right now? Most definitely. There are easier ways - smaller magikarps to fish, one would say, but ... curiosity got the better of him. Hopefully that would not mean that the champion trainer would simply abandon him by the entrance because he's definitely going forth whichever one way. He hopes neither Ms. Pryce nor Katharina will have to dig up his corpse one of those days.[break]
[break]
A Pokémon he can rise? Scratching the back of his head, he releases the Metagross he typically use for transport. "It'll do, right? It's my smartest companion, too - the name's X, like the X on the front," he hums, knocking against the solid steel. Before he can elaborate any further, however, he notices a glimpse of sparkle rustling forth, eyes widening over the approach of two Pokémon he hasn't seen before. His instinct is to go and catch, though he only sees the Luxio, unaware of the Monferno.

The Torchic is quick to assume battle stance - hopping from one foot to another as it feints kicks every now and then to intimidate the already intimidated Marill even further. "You heard me right!" she shouts angrily, standing still for a moment as she paws her right claws on the ground, eyeing the other quite critically. She escaped the Safari Zone for this, after all! It's only right that-[break]
[break]
No? ... No?[break]
[break]
Shock runs over the Torchic's face before she narrows her eyes, circling the Marill like a hunter would its prey, like a ritual that is written down nowhere at all. "Why not? Am I not worthy of being battled! I'll show you-!" And she shoots a Flamethrower vertically into the air, quite impressive for such a small bird. Quite an impressive amount of anger in one tiny body.

It seems that he doesn't have quite the luck - it's truthfully his own mistake as he hasn't even expected to land here quite so, but ... well, life goes. Lapses in judgement come. Maybe he's already getting old ... (at the ripe age of not-even-thirty). "What a shame," Xuying remarks with a little sigh that translates into a puff of white fog in the air, "but hmm ... I guess you are right. I didn't think about that ..." A pondering look crosses his face as he tries to remember where he put it after he muted his notifications, not needing or wanting to know what cousin third grade twice removed is up to. Has he ever used the memo app, actually? Probably. Doesn't mean he actually remembers doing so, but ... it'll be fine, right?[break]
[break]
Just as he wanted to give thanks to the stranger, a bright white screen blinking up as he finally found his phone, she warns him of - of ... something. Freezing immediately, his eyes wander around. Luckily, the Porygon-Z doesn't have to be told twice not to move; in fact, he should probably call the poor lad back soon, unless its already defunct abilities are getting even more defunct. And then ... Xuying sees two Pokémon nearby, though the Cryogonal is the one that catches his attention. If she said that they are particularly vicious, then ... Slowly moving a pokéball out of his own, it takes only a moment until he throws it at the Cryogonal, wondering if he should throw a rock into the other direction to distract the Beartic.

One could say that he is enjoying the more rural side of life when most of his 'job' involves technology and computers and all that stuff, but ... in all honesty, the more peaceful and calm atmosphere of Verdanturf Town is also quite what he is already familiar with. It gives him Pinwheel Forest vibes in a way, though it isn't homesickness that he feels as he has such thoughts. In fact, there is curiosity what else this town might hold ... so Xuying ventures on, a paper bag in his arms as he just did a few groceries.[break]
[break]
He is currently trying to navigate the six million group text messages that blow up his phone again, sighing as he puts it away - when he notices that the shiny Rotom has scurried off to somewhere, and ... that exact thing is ... oh? A lone ball? And as he looks around a little more, it seems very much like another trainer just dropped it. "Y, get off the pokéball, it's not yours," Xuying remarks to the Rotom as he looks over to the stranger. "Sorry, can be a lil' more nosy than necessary sometimes."

Staring in disbelief at the safari ball on the ground, laying there unmoving, he picks it up eventually, pocketing it to the other caught Treecko. Fine ... if she wants to come with him so badly, he figures it can't hurt to have her with him, or something. That does feel like it calls for cake as treat, though ... His shin still hurts from where she kicked it, with vengeance apparently, as his partners only looked in confusion. Y is snickering manically as Z is just floating around, and he shakes his head at either.[break]
[break]
Hopefully the next encounter won't be as ... brutal.[break]
[break]
To his luck, it doesn't seem like the Mudkip he sees next is out to kick, bite or hit him in any one way, only staring blankly at him from where he's lurking in the pond. He might as well could have ignored the same if not for a slightly uncanny feeling, as if there is an observation being made about him that he'd rather not. To his luck-luck, however, it all turns out to be quite alright as the Mudkip leaves the pond in a calm fashion, and reveals why he has been staring at Xuying for so long - by his feet, the scientist now finds a ... rock. Quite a pretty one at that.[break]
[break]
He immediately catches it, no questions asked.[break]
[break]
And now, as he is all out safari balls, he muses what else there might be to discover. First, he has to properly register the three he caught thus far, though he'll be sure to make some time to come back and see what else there might be.
