use the phrase sword and shield

"Oh." he hadn't really thought about it. The acts that brought him to the attire he was wearing were simply second nature to him, a part of himself and his very being he could neither fully remember nor let go of. His people were hunters, always had been and though he could not remember being taught to make clothing he knew it in his bones and went though the motions without thinking. He knew it to be increasingly uncommon in the present day world but he'd forgotten to think that contextually- here, in a place where people were actively here to admire this sort of thing it would undeniably attract even more attention than normal. Because it didn't just look authentic- it was authentic. As the realization hit Evan made the quick decision that he would not be telling anyone how any of it was made because that would undeniably make matters worse.

As such he let the topic pass with little else as comment. Letting it go was easier than trying to talk his way out of it and besides. There was much more for the two of them to be doing right now. "Oh you mean the... what do they call it? The Sword and shield duels?" he was pretty sure that's what it was called this time around. he hadn't really been paying too much attention when he looked over the events earlier. "I'm sure you'd make a good fit for the role. Even if you don't make it this time they're supposed to be doing these all over Hoenn from now on right?" she could always try again and as long as she kept coming back she'd be sure to get her chance at some point.

"Evan." he tacks on his name at the end of his train of thought. It wasn't much of a name really but it was what he liked the most. "It's a pleasure to meet you." he sounds genuine, because to Evan meeting just about anyway is a pleasure. In truth he probably likes people too much for his own good.

He just needed to go for walk, something to clear his head of the fog it was filled with. The thoughts that had been rolling around in his head lately were concerning. So much of it was something that he had long since left behind. Or at least that he though he had. It made him want to finish what he had started but walked away form in a way he didn't want to revisit, not really.

There was too much potential to downward spiral and the more time he spent in the city the more he felt it looming in over him. Overbearing, dread seeped into his skin and settled in his bones. It made him nervous and anxious enough his own pokemon could feel it.

The lilligant and cottonee on either side of him stuck close, her aromatherapy filling the air to mellow him despite the worlds rolling around in his brain.

Red eyes. That's the last clear thing he sees in the chaos. The world begins to swim around him and the floor feels like it is a tipping boat on a raging sea and he can't quite tell why. Panic rises with the pain in his hands as his body tries to right itself against his wishes to focus on the battle, stumbling and awkward steps almost send him overboard before the Ampharos puts itself between him and the attack. thank you. he thinks it but his body doesn't listen to him in the after affects he will later realize the source of.

His mind is hazy, lost in itself while he seeks something to focus on, something to reground him through the pain. The wall in front of him offers him nothing to mentally stitch himself to as it crashes into his body and he realizes too late that the sea continues to rage beneath him, around him, over him. He reaches for the pokemon that had been around him but fumbles and fails to find purchase on fur or leaf.

The cold makes him alert too late, and suddenly everything feels too much and he can't move enough for it to matter. He tries to call his pokemon back- to save them from the same fate and will never know if manages to or not. His head sinks and tries to surface but you can't find purchase in water- you can't fight a raging sea you can only hope to wait it out.

At some point he closes his eyes. At some point the water sweeps him somewhere he hopes to never see again. At some point it fills his lunges and his mind stops searching for something- anything and can only think one thing.



He can't move.

His eyes are open. He's gasping for air. But he can't move. Dead? Can't be. Could be? Better not be.

Movement catches his attention, his eyes move from the ceiling above him to the skittering on his heaving chest. Breathing too fast, too shallow, he's light headed already and the taste of it lingers in his mind. Water in his lungs, cold in his body, burning in his hands, sweat on his blanket makes his body think it's more tricks and shallow waters lap at his skin again and he has to close his eyes.

The weight on his chest steadies him, she pulls at his shirt in silence because he didn't wake up and she's trying with all her might not to start screaming and he knows it. He counts backwards from ten. Slowly. His breathing evens out and he pushes the thoughts of that wretched and unholy experience from his mind. His hand lifts and finds the mimikyu's rag disguise.

Evan closes his eyes, smiles, and tries his damndest not to cry.

>>it felt wrong not to wrap this up

"I thought I recognized you a bit." he comments, grin playful as it starts to don on him. He's never been very good with keeping up with things- well not things like gym leaders and the like. They've never been something he was really interested in and often fell to the wayside in his mind. His attention was always on other kinds of things in the cities anyway.

He listens to her explanation and it makes sense. He can't imagine what she does allows liberties like roaming around to other places. Especially during a regional emergency like the recent tiff with rocket. Evan can barely wrap his head around the job to begin with- just being an owner of an establishment has nearly made him pull out his hair over the restriction it places on him as it is. It goes on the list of things that Evan has no intention of trying before he dies.

"Hmm." he muses to himself. "I've taken over the Stray." he says plainly, adding on further in the event she's not too familiar with the place which he assumes is entirely possible. She seems young enough to not be. "It's a tavern, been around since the beginning of Rustboro give or take a year or two. Though nowadays no one really comes around for the tavern part, it's more like a bar." Kind of, it's hard to say what the Stray is, especially since the change of hands has led to a lot of sprucing up and the longer Evan stays the more it seems like the old spirit of the place returns.

"It's got a lot of history for the area, enough so they were going to label it a historic building if I didn't take it over. I'm owner and barkeep, at least when the paper work allows me to be." which is actually more often than not because he puts it off too long but no one needs to actually hear that out loud.

Bo Locke + evan fader

Hello handy person, evan is also kind of a handy person but not enough of one to not need help. He also owns a tavern (in rustboro) that sometimes needs some fixing up and he'd much rather give someone looking for a little extra cash the money for doing it well over doing it himself and getting even more behind on paper work. Not to mention it's kind of a historic establishment known for housing strays and wandering vagrants since it began so it's door's would be more than open to her if she ever needed a place to stay and some work to do. Evan can always find something and is eager to help people out- and seeing as it's primary draw in the bar in the evenings if she stuck around enough she'd find plenty of odd jobs to do around the city from his various regulars that could probably use an extra hand or two with something.

That's the draw to get them to meet, on a personal level Evan's the resident mother hen that happens to own a tavern and dote on his regulars amongst other things. Much like Bo he's pretty friendly while also being rather aloof and distant with others. It's a pretty common thing for someone to feel like his best friend without actually knowing anything of substance about him. It's not really intentional it's just kinda how it is because he spent most of his life as a traveler never staying in one place too long. I think on a personal level the both of them have some pretty major similarities that could either make them a good pair to play out or possibly kind of boring depending on how things panned out. Too far and they'd be all business since he can help her out with getting odd jobs any time she's in the Rustboro area but if they got on the right topic I could see them getting along really well since they're both kind of small magikarp in the big city types just for different reasons.
