accepting the syringe, arian stared momentarily toward the fallen pilot. "he's only unconscious," back then his old self would have allowed him to die. death was natural, after all. it was illogical to save someone whose fate was sealed. as arian stood, he'd turn his back on the pilot.

"well, i thought it'd be bothersome if he died, haha!" a light chuckle was let out, "i don't exactly get why i did it though..." for someone who was without moral, it would seem as though he's slowly developing it. anyway, it would seem as though their enemy was located. "gallade may not be able to, but his partner can." returning the psychic-type, he'd call upon gardevoir.

"let's go," he'd leave the pilot where he laid. as they moved, arian and company would come to enter an open space. the field had little greenery, and there was fire roaming about in some small spots. it was the aftermath of the tyranitar's destruction.

the surface shook and a powerful roar was heard.

"it's here," and there was a sudden whistle. emerging from across their location was the megalopolan, and behind them? the tainted tyranitar. "target found, ready to play bait?" he asked katherine. arian would come to place his hand around the hip of his gardevoire, "the second they make a move, we retaliate."

shaking his hand. arian would gleefully introduce himself, "arian coin, nice to meet you!" talonflame, once more, attempted to lick the honey, "aht, aht!" he shouted quickly only for the fire-type to hide behind typhlosion.

"anyway, we're just here to collect honey. we just have to be quick, the queen bee will notice somethings up the second we touch it." it was a quick get in and get out, "if you're ready, let's go get stung!" with a flashlight in hand, arian would toss it. "since your typhlosion's here we don't need a flashlight, right?"

well that was unexpected. he wish he could say this was a first, but her boldness was a cut above the norm. it reminded him of bailey. it was interesting, "so this is what the new gym leaders are like, i hope the others are just as fun." turning to the pilot, he'd say, "take me to the center of---"

a sudden dragon pulse would come to hit the tail of the helicopter. "what the---" holding onto something, the pilot would come to be rendered unconscious due to hitting his head. seeing the pilot, arian would take the initiative to call upon his gallade, "cut him loose, we're diving now!" arian would be the first to jump off, gallade, with the pilot in arm, followed after.

as they swan dived, gallade would come to grab hold of his trainer. with the pilot and arian in his grasp, the pokemon would utilize a protective barrier to secure their landing. the impact would slowly be reduced little by little due to the many branches breaking the barrier's fall. eventually they'd come to land. "nice job, but where the hell did that dragon pulse come from..."

turning to Katherine Fairburne and her reuniclus, he'd wave toward the woman with a smile. "we have a small problem, but it's nothing to worry about though!" a chuckle followed, "i think the megalopolan is somewhere nearby, there's no way the tyranitar saw us from that angle. it's probably being given orders against its will..." which led him to ask, "you got the injection to cure it?" because he lost his in the fall.

"target sighted!" opening the helicopter door. arian watched from above as smog plagued the area they were heading toward. the raging cry of a tyrannitar was nearly eat shattering. covering them, arian would wince with a smile on his face. "haha, this is exciting! i never got to see one of these 'infected' pokemon up close." he'd turn to his partner who was recruited for league to help put down the pokemon and apprehend the megalopolan.

"you ready for some fun?" arian asked.

dress in casual clothing. the soon-to-return gym leader wasn't exactly fond of entering caves. especially ones full of honey. "so this is their nest," arian spoke into his xtransceiver, "i hope you're sending someone over, haha! i'd hate to have all this fun..." he'd look at the surplus amount of honey all over the entrance, "...to myself."

the normally ecstatic gym leader wasn't so happy about going in. "it's a good thing i didn't wear the suit, honey is hard to get out." arian would end the call with his mission assigner. "now we wait for that helping hand--talonflame don't eat that!" he'd yell at the flaming bird who would hover near the honey glazed entrance, a satchel over its body.

in casual the wear. arian had been wandering the city of mossdeep. it wasn't until he received a sudden news letter on his xtransceiver that there was a sudden uproar happening. "a wild pokemon in the city?" it was his job to catch and detain it. what a nuisance pokemon could be for the grim dealer.

though, it wasn't as if he had anything going on for today. so, with a simple turn, he'd begin to make haste. as arian ran, he'd come to turn a corner. only to run into an unexpected, familiar face. as arian fell to the floor onto his bottom, he'd rub his face. "did i run into a brick w--oh!" with a shocked expression, he'd come to stand up quickly, "aren't you..."

"haha, but then i lose my leverage to see the, and i quote, 'adorable biker chick'!" a inside joke between him and his eldest sibling. they were fond of the stories he heard of bailey. though, arian didn't see much to call adorable. she could get pretty violent if the situation called for it. "besides, i'm fond of you. it's never a dull moment when you're around." it was then he'd come to throw his attention back toward the groudon.

bailey, afterwards, would inquire about arian's new developments. before answering, he'd look back to gardevoir, "go and help heal some more citizens and pokemon, i'll be alright on my own." once gardevoir departed after receiving her assignment, he'd return his focus back on bailey. "honestly, i've been out of the region for a bit and missed a lot. i'm not sure as to why we moved to mossdeep, but i can only assume it's probably due to some personal assignment from the commissioner herself." what a time to return.

"i took a break for awhile only to return to a mess of things, and then i was informed about your promotion and now..." he'd look back toward the legendary creature, "you're walking around with something unknown. the league's okay with that? something this big with you could only spell trouble in the future."

"wow, look who we have here espeon, gardevoir!" a familiar voice rung out. standing behind the brunette with his bubbly smile, it was an old comrade to the new champion. had she chosen to turn and look toward the familiar face, the champion would notice that he wore a casual long-sleeved red shirt; over that top was a black cardigan sweater. next, his bottom would consist of jet black slim-fitted jeans. lastly, for his footwear, he would have on casual red dress shoes.

"you ready to pay what you owe, hoenn's champion?" a chuckle followed as arian spoke, "you may be the new champion of hoenn, but you'll always be our very patron with the biggest tab in our casino." a hand would find itself acting as a shade upon his forehead, eying the ginormous creature that kept to itself. arian just had to ask, "wow, you explain that to me and i'll talk to big bro about clearing your debt..."
