"I ain't laughin' like that love." he let's the laugh go for real now, because it's obvious trying to hold it in won't do him much good at all. He's already gone and offended her, something he can't say he's unused to either. Evan has spent too much of his life being a little bit of everything but what people expect and all too often his looks taint his words in other people's eyes. He's nowhere near as malicious as people are prone to think him.

He gives her a moment to let it out nonetheless though, he's not going to resist and it doesn't diminish his grin in the slightest- he would have to take offense at her words for that to happen and he most certainly does not. "Good on you for saying something though, most people are too scared to do that." but he doesn't get far in his commentary before the wild pokemon force their hands again. Evan is willing to leave it be for the moment while she addresses her pokemon, the embargo that was recently lifted seems to have actively flooded the region with the unusual pokemon. He had expected more of a slow release but it seems they just went for it.

His hands return to his pockets as he watches, the nature of the Galar pokemon being something of interest. At least to a degree. It is thanks to his status as the observer that he catches the skittering from the shadows of the path. Despite the man being a space cadet his instincts are undeniably fine tuned and his eyes turn from their usual soft and joyful to a had look as he tracks the faint sound with his eyes.

"Vince." the pokemon follows his eyes and catches on as quick as ever, waiting. Despite what some might think of wild pokemon they can be just as crafty as trained ones, they repeat what they see just as much as humans do. Well most of them do, some have a little bit harder time figuring that sort of thing out than others.

The webs springs from out of sight, looking to trap the lured in prey that's fallen for the carkol lure. It's intercepted almost instantly by a wall of psychic energy from the musharna, suspending it mid air before it can make contact. "Future sight. Keep an eye on the Carkol" he comments over the bugs hissing, the energies swirl in the area surrounding his musharna for a moment before they make contact with the bug. it reels back and in the space between motions the musharna throws the spider's web back at it, locking it into place with it's own trap. A new future sight begins to build, and when it hit it will be the last.

Evan's attention turns back to the kid and the carkol, a snap of his fingers has the vaporeon between his feet at the ready should try to take advantage of the other pokemon's failure to come through.

"I would hope so, otherwise I'd have to worry I was doing something wrong." which was always possible, the man was a bit of a space cadet and could obnoxiously forgetful. Both things that often made working in their kind of establishment a hassle but Evan tried to make the place feel like it was worth while, if it wasn't a home in its own way then how could he expect any of them to put effort into the place and what they did? The way Evan saw it he couldn't.

The look on his face in response to the psychic is an instant reminder of one of those things he never quite seems to remember no matter how many times he sees it. "Take it easy, he's gotta be here if you don't want your buddy getting fried." Evan explains calmly, hoping that it will help make it a little easier. A nod of his head encourages the musharna to move to the other side of his feet anyway just in case.

"Two things a mareanie doesn't like, psychic a d electricity. But electricity is gonna fry your water type as much as them, but if he uses his psychic as a buffer to contain the joltik's attacks we can keep them from going hayward in the water and hitting your guy too." Evan pays close attention to the look on his face, wanting to be sure he'd be alright with this before they were too far to go back.

"Are you kidding?" the quirked brow is almost cartoonish on his features, the eyes and the metal meeting a smirk on his lips almost like a villain with some sly secret. "I get cooped up in that place dear, humans weren't meant to spend their lives in boxes." the gentle chuckle makes it seem like it should be a given that the guy is out and about when he can be, after all Evan can deal with a little leak now and again on his own if it means his people get the time to rest from their work. He's not interested in making their lives harder.

A slender finger pets the head of the little creature on his shoulder and it chitter at the scritch with a gleeful half closed eye. Despite it's typing the pokemon seems to be very receptive to attention. "Preferably. Ever dealt with mareanie? Pretty vile things when they want to be and they can be tough to get rid of once they take a liking to a place." Evan eyes the poliwrath with a knowing look. While the bug is by no means one ot be triffled with in their given situation, it could quickly become the case for friend as much as foe. He turns the his wrist to face him and nudges one of the balls into releasing the back member. His Musharna settles at his feet comfortably. "Vince is the alternative option."

The psychic type murmurs a hello, a common site around the Stray as one of Evan's oldest pokemon.

Evan didn't get calls from the league very often, he was starting to wonder if the state of peace they were in had dropped the number of people on their call list greatly enough for him to be near the top. Why else would they be dragging him out to a place like this to deal with a hoard of wild pokemon doing what pokemon do?

He couldn't say no though, the history of pacifidlog town and the corsala colony they were built on was vast and fascinating. Enough so he'd done a piece on them a few years back, one of the last times he had passed through Hoenn. Of course, that also meant Evan was a little late making it to the rendezvous point because he kept coming across members of the small town that recognized him. He had to swear on his life he'd be back for a slice of pie and to see how everyone was doing in order to get them to let him go- time crunch and all that. The chittering joltik on his shoulder mimicking a forward march motion seemed to help.

It was this same Joltik that launched itself from his shoulder as they approached a familiar figure, landing beside the man with as much a cry as the little critter could manage in an attempt to seem fierce and ready for battle. "Fancy seeing you here, they call you in for this too?" he asked the familiar face with his trademark grin, a flick of his wrist calling the joltik back up to his shoulder as it skittered up his side.

At least it was someone he felt he could count on for this one.

Get the Goods and Get Out

POSTED ON Nov 24, 2019 4:13:26 GMT

[attr="class","evantalk"]

There is a certain sort of grin one makes when they are trying desperately hard not to laugh over something.

Evan is currently making that grin and trying his damndest not to let it show too much. He can't help it, that kind of gusto has always made him chuckle and now is no different. She's in a horrible spot to be talking so big but good on her from trying right? "Evan Fader" a chuckle laces his words, he's trying, really he is. "Bartender and Tavern owner, amongst other things."

His attention is vaguely on the pokemon, because he trusts his own to handle them with little trouble though the Vaporeon is still in need of some fine tuning in it's abilities. The water type was simply a worth while choice knowing he was coming this way. It's not until it's bearing down on the Marowak with a double kick that he really thinks about what it's fighting. He's got a soft spot for alola. "Poisedon, dear," the vaporeon returns to his side with surprising swiftness, slipping in between his feet, fishtail curling around an ankle as the man releases a different pokemon. The musharna takes the stage with a yawn and Evan doesn't really have to ask him before hestarts building the psychic energy. "Let's take that one along shall we?"

As the psychic type lifts the pokemon into the air Evan retrieves a loose pokeball from his own back, taking a couple of pockets to find it before he tosses it at the wild pokemon.

"So what are you doing out here amyway?" he asks of the youngster in front of him, attention back on her.

An endless berry plot <3

POSTED ON Nov 24, 2019 3:54:58 GMT

[attr="class","evantalk"]

The plot is small, abandoned by its previous tender. He comes back out of a vague sort of sentiment. As if he can feel the love for the place lingering here. Some sort of nonsense in the back of his mind, sure, or maybe not. He's never been sure when it comes to these things.

It's quiet, it's out of the way, a sort of solace for him to have, something for him to do when the rest of the world is too noisy and he just needs some quiet.

Perhaps that's why it's distracting to hear the whacking against one of the berry bushes growing in the clearing. Evan stands back, watching the pokemon a moment, but he doesn't see reason to fend it off. Instead he calls upon the help of his musharna, who gets his idea with ease. The two set about stabilizing a chunk of wood in the ground not too far off from the berry plot, Evan giving it a good solid kick of his own to be sure it won't just fly out of the ground without good force. Satisfied, he motions for the musharna to pick up the pokemon with his psychic and replace it near the grounded post.

At first the pokemon runs back to the berry tree, because that seems like a much better place to practice and Evan motions for the musharna to try again, lifting and moving the fighting type back towards the post he's welcome to practice on instead. Even as the pokemon tries to kick the musharna instead eh simply returns it to the post, again and again.

Both trainer and pokemon are willing to continue doing so until the pokemon accepts that he will not be allowed to train on the berry plants, but he can use that all he likes.

Settling [open]

POSTED ON Nov 21, 2019 21:00:39 GMT

[attr="class","evantalk"]

Somehow the distraction makes it not just easier to focus but to worry a little less about the overly technical nature of his papers. He still reads well enough to be sure of what he's going over but he feels much more at ease talking at the same time. It takes him a moment more when he spots something he's unsure about- splitting his attention like this but not being allowed to hyper focus on what he's doing keeps him from getting stressed.

It's for that reason he keeps going while the two talk, occasionally pausing to be sure he heard lars right before responding."I don't think i have it in me to go to that much effort at this point at all, I'm have enough of a time with having help for the building to begin with, though that's going well enough." it probably helped that Evan was young enough to really capitalize on what the Stray came about from to begin with- what it had been for him many years ago and many after. Every time he came to Hoenn when he was young he dropped by the place. He felt like he owed it to the building, to the soil, to the old man and the wood and stone walls. The history seeped from the place and it settles in his bones in a way that made him more comfortable than any other place ever has.

More comfortable than his own history, that was for sure.

"I like to think he would be, thank you for the sentiment." He smiles up at the other, genuinely pleased by the comment. "It can be rough, most just want to fill the area with more buildings they can place their branding on or make store fronts out of, some wanted to put apartments here because of the size of the plot I believe?" he doesn't remember for sure but he didn't really care what they wanted while the old man was alive and really doesn't care now that he's the one in charge. He's ripped up many an offer in front of a business man's face while on the clock and it has been a large part of what gained him traction with the old regulars.

Evan doesn't really look up at him until he says something about taking a break. Eyes squarely on him in a manner almost unsettling come from him, an eyebrow quirk accentuated further by the piercing that moves with the muscle and the slow grin that grows over his face, "What, getting jealous of the paperwork now?" an innocent jest laced with a chuckle as his pen taps the edge of a paper, waiting for a response. It is obvious even before Lars can answer that he is looking forward to the response.

Dragon duels [mission]

He can't help but feel like having them both at the entrance for the trucks was a bad idea even if the bank had insisted. If the criminals were worth even just half their salt they'd case the joint before actually making a move. At least they had better if they planned on robbing something like a bank. It's actually almost worse than if thy just didn't have any security at all. "Depends on them, if they're any good we aren't an actual deterrent we're a change in the plans. If they're just some kids getting cocky they'll attack us thinking they can intimidate the rest of the bank and get more out of it."

It's more mindless thinking than anything really, and of course there were greater variables involved in it than those two but they were the most likely scenarios given the fact the bank was fairly new to the region and above all else- a bank. A big target, one right on the front page of the news right now and everyone is watching it. It makes it a bit more risky.

Something stutters on the radio at his hip, given by the usual security of the building just in case but he can't make out anything that mattered. Evan fiddles with it, calling back over for the individual to repeat what they said but nothing comes back. "We can either shrug that off or one of us can go in and see if something's up, which one would you rather be?" Despite the potential warning sign he's surprisingly calm about it.

Evan turns to look down the back alley where they anticipated the attack to actually come from, looking for any signs of life in what has otherwise been quiet stone. "Either way one of us should stay back here just in case."

OOps.

Her response was something he was pretty used to, most people were startled by him at first glance. It was the eyes really, or so he thought. They were contacts of course but they were the kind of thing everyone thought got put in storage after Halloween was over. "Whateber you're thinking, my appearances are not as telling as you think they are." he holds his hands up in front of him in an attempt to prove he means no harm, simply a bleeding heart saying hello.

His attention turns to her pokemon as she releases it on the wild ones, an innocent kind of curiosity on his face as it roars one of them back instead of combating the wild pokemon like most do as their go to. Evan is not inclined to join in until the heat begins to wash over them in a wave of humid gust and he realizes one of them is undeniably hostile. One hand moves to the strap on his other wrist and the pokemon released arrives with the same regal appearance his name implies, the Vaporeon's fishtail curling around his feet as he watches with wide eyes.

"Pois, if you would." The pokemon stands and bears down on the torkoal with his water gun, pushing it back until the turtle pokemon finally realizes that fleeing may be a better option than trying to push back against the water type.

"Name's Evan by the way!" he states, turning back to her with a grin, never missing a beat. "You?"
