M.A.G.M.A STRATAGEMS I

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]"Sure, let's go with that."[break][break]

The truth was, this strategy was new to him. Unpolished.[break][break]

Their selections speak true to the nature of their approach. Types that are able to resist or effectively remove his own pokemon are their preference, at least on the surface. But there is consideration to his TOXIC SPIKES setup as well, which is promising. There's more nuance to it though as they open up with their combo.[break][break]

It starts strong, though he becomes... a little baffled after.[break][break]

Oranguru was poisoned, but remained IMMUNE to HEX.[break][break]

For a moment he keeps his silence. It's understandable that they were primarily fixated on its vulnerability as a PSYCHIC-TYPE, or that they were otherwise blinded by a short-sighted goal to consider anything further. If they had targeted Runerigus first, it might have been over for one of his first turn selections. It was too convenient.[break][break]

"You're aware of typing weaknesses, but remember their immunities, too." It almost irked him, though.[break][break]

Did they intentionally not take out Runerigus?[break][break]

"Runerigus, TAUNT Venusaur. Oranguru, use ENCORE on Spiritomb." Now that he knew their approach...[break][break]

...They would be locked out of their combo, but things were still just starting. Half of the pokemon on the field were poisoned, which was slowly beginning to exact its toll.

[attr="class","adrianwt"]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]"Hmmm..."[break][break]

It turns out his illustration wasn't very helpful.[break][break]

"I think we have an answer at least, that..." Adrian hesitates for a moment, wondering whether it could all be coincidence, or at the very least not a result of their interference. But Adrian doesn't trust in coincidences.[break][break]

"We can communicate with them... Well, you can."[break][break]

He's tempted to try, but he already harbors his suspicions. Much like any other time, they would likely remain inert. Although he is tempted, just to prove it was only Mars.[break][break]

Mars couldn't be too sure whether Adrian regarded them with jealousy or a healthy skepticism. Quietly he contemplates to himself the possibility of Mars being an Unown Assassin. Well, I should probably be dead by now if they were. Mars never struck him as someone who was bad at their job, so unless they were playing the long con... Well, he wasn't going to start doubting now.[break][break]

"...You should take this information and have it run through some algorithm or whatever. Somebody in that metal tub should have an answer for this," Adrian gestures vaguely to the cheap illustration on his phone and to the Unown surrounding them. What he underestimated was just how much information may end up connecting these places of interest. It could be quite the data dump.[break][break]

"...Do you think I should try it once?"[break][break]

Just to be positive. Not because Adrian wanted to be able to channel their strange power, no... That would just be ridiculous. But there's an undeniable eagerness in his voice.

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS [M]

POSTED ON Aug 29, 2022 3:22:24 GMT

[attr="class","adrianwt"]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Adrian was enamored by their romanticism, but the truth was, he felt obligated to something else. One might deign to call it a higher calling. But he couldn't stand to break Rowan's heart by betraying the confidence he placed in Adrian, by suggesting he would do anything but.[break][break]

"That sounds pretty sappy out loud, Row..." Adrian feels his arms tightening their weave around Rowan.[break][break]

There would be a middle path for him to navigate, between the brambles and briarthorn of destiny and fates.[break][break]

"It's like she's the same dog... But she knows we're not really the same people." She had most of the same mannerisms, responded well to him, and yet there were times he caugh her facing a well with a look of anguish. There were lines forming under her eyes that grew more pronounced over time. As if the grief they shared was changing her anatomically, not that he noticed.[break][break]

"She's better off here, at least." Or so he'd recite.

Adrian seemed increasingly disinterested with the pokemon that were appearing so far, and decided to check back with his phone to see if he'd gotten any important updates. Nothing yet. He slips it back into a pocket, casting a wishful look towards the far sides of the mountain, hoping to see something of note.

[attr="class","adrianwt"]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]The ocean swallows his peripheral until all he can see is deep blue and vivid coral in contrast to the abyss that envelops it. Drifting through the quiet and calm, Adrian finds a modicum of peace.[break][break]

...But still not a single Clamperl.[break][break]

Soon they would bring the festivities to a close, and he might not have such a chance again. TERAVOLT had a busy schedule he would need to keep up with that couldn't be pushed off over every little excuse or 'thing' that came up.[break][break]

I'll check over here one last time...[break][break]

Whatever there, he'll be forced to claim it, or risk coming back to the shores empty-handed and drained of enthusiasm.[break][break]

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Adrian knew better than to press the issue after Rowan countered his offer, so he resolved to finish their little trip first. "It's on. You're going down," he mouthed with certainty.[break][break]

And if he was proven wrong, that wouldn't be so bad, either.[break][break]

Casting his line out farther this time, he tries to reel it in erratically, to simulate a wounded animal or something of the sort. Even just catching the attention of a fish with the sudden movements would be enough to lure something in, he hoped.[break][break]

But what would he find on the end of that line?[break][break]

But consolations rarely satisfied. He's back at it again the next chance he gets, following along the coast to try and find the Clamperl that have eluded him up until now.[break][break]

He doesn't find one, why would he—he obviously wasn't meant to—but what he finds instead is something perhaps just as valuable, or at least useful. It'll have to be enough.[break][break]

His last one had been just over a half hour ago at least.[break][break]

Most of the fish in the area might've realized and darted off, he figured, which meant they might finally be truly alone out here. It's almost worrying, realizing anything could happen out here. But then you realize how much anything means.[break][break]

Adrian shimmies over to Rowan, running a finger down the length of his spine, tracing the bumps all the way down while his eyes follow and his breath hitches. Only when he pulls away do his eyes try and find Rowan's own to match them.[break][break]

Adrian brings a palm up to their shoulder, smoothing down the length of their arm, playing his hand rather bluntly.[break][break]

"Maybe we could... take a break?"[break][break]

It would've been a lot less headache for him, the way things were going. Adrian might never see a Clamperl by the end of the event, he realized, which did much to setback his plans. And with the looming prospect of meteoric collision, time was a commodity short in supply.[break][break]

He doubled down on his diving ventures, hoping to turn things around. He ran his hand over the odd coral or sea growth, parting seaweed and kelp in order to try and discern anything out of the ordinary.[break][break]

But for the most part, he came up empty.[break][break]
