~

The sudden calm after chaos might have been eerie if not for the hilarious situation unfolding between Sigmund and Ratatoskr: Florian emerges from his cover and raises a hand to his mouth to stifle a giggle.
[break][break]
"Poor dear," he says of the Emolga.
[break][break]
Sarah confirms their victory, and Florian's smile is bashful in response to the compliment. Joli is far less humble, letting out a contented trill.
[break][break]
"He is very protective! Aren't you, darling?"
[break][break]
Florian doesn't miss the way his Sylveon winces upon applying weight to his burned paw, however, and in the absence of battle the professor dips into his bag for some medical supplies. Instead of a burn heal, he pulls out a handful of Rawst berries and allows Joli to take them from his hand.
[break][break]
He does so delicately, letting out a sigh of relief.
[break][break]
"All of this for a peach tree," Florian marvels, shaking his head. "It must be a very special tree. Are all of you all right? I have some extra berries if they are needed, I always carry some from my garden."

"A dragon trainer? We are natural rivals, then!"

In spite of the words, Florian's tone is light and playful. He holds nothing against dragons; if anything, it's the overly arrogant trainers that can cause a problem. Alec doesn't come across as such, at least not from first impressions.

"I know a lot," he admits, "but there is always more to learn! I was just on a stroll through the Falls, if I'm honest, but I suppose I'm always researching."

Even if he were simply interacting with wild Pokemon, every experience was another to add to his list.

Alec had mentioned helping, however, and Florian offers him a friendly grin.

"You are welcome to tag along!"

During the long minutes where his new companion tends to the health of a flailing Relicanth, Florian has busied himself with a bird that's swooped down from the canopy to greet him.

He admires its colorful plumage and it preens itself under the compliments. Unbeknownst to Florian, his new feathered friend was quite the defeatist, and it takes warmly to his kind words.

"I always have room for more friends," he croons.

With the prehistoric avian perched on his shoulder, he turns to check on Alec. "You have made a new friend as well, I see!"

He nods at the question.

"Yes! I am from Kalos, in fact."

They are foreigners both; Alec informs him that he hails from Blackthorn, and though he's never been, he recognizes the name of the place. It's famous for the dragon masters that live there.

"Well then, I wish you luck!" he says, sincere. He'd never pursued a league challenge himself, but considered it to be an admirable goal. "Fairies are particularly useful if you are looking to combat a dragon: they are completely immune to draconian attacks! I confess I do not know much of Hoenn's league. Monsieur Benoit of Verdanturf trains dark types, I think? And Alexei, of Fortree, he is the master of flying Pokemon. Fairies are also useful against dark-types, you need only be careful of poison and steel."

Conversation takes a horrifying turn as an 'apple' drops from a tree, nearly to be consumed... only it's not an apple at all!

Florian's never seen one before, and he pulls out his Pokedex to scan the startled creature as Alec attempts to calm it down.

"As soon as it's born, it burrows into an apple. Not only does the apple serve as its food source, but the flavor of the fruit determines its evolution."

"Oh, so the apple itself isn't the Pokemon!" When he looks up, it appears to have calmed down, and Florian smiles at Alec's question. "Pokemon can sense intentions, I think. He must have known you meant him no harm!"

Alec hits the nail on the head with one of the types mentioned. Florian nods, then laughs. "Yes, and a dragon as well, apparently! How about that?"

He'd given his name earlier, but doesn't take offense to it having been overlooked. "Florian Laurel, Pokemon professor," he recants, and smiles. "It is nice to meet you, Alec."

Spotting a Mawile, the professor's eyes light up.

"Ah, see how adorable this one is?" Mawile seems more than happy to accept the praise. "It is a ruse they employ in order to draw in their prey. That's right, little one! I know your tricks!"

Mawile's expression quickly shifts from flattered to annoyed. It spins around and flaps its jaw-like horns at him.

"It is OK, I know it's only in your nature. But I won't be fooled!"

He taps the side of his nose, winking.

It then makes the mistake of trying to strike: Florian's Sylveon acts quickly, bathing it in a stream of mystical fire. As the flames fade, Florian crouches next to the injured dual-type and offers it a handful of Rawst berries.

"They'll help with the burn," he insists.

While it's distracted by eating, he tosses a ball.

~

As several of the Litwick fall prey to their combined efforts, Florian feels brave enough to poke his head out from behind the shed.
[break][break]
He sees Sigmund, administering aid to his Emolga. He spots Joli with his injured paw, and the mist that slowly spreads beneath him. He spots a Litwick, readying a devastating assault—
[break][break]
— and he sees Sarah with her Slowbro, the dual-type powering up an attack that'll soon head straight for the offender. Deciding to have confidence in the girl and her Pokemon, Florian calls out, "Draining Kiss! Target the bird!"
[break][break]
Theirs is a partnership that has withstood many struggles over the years, and Joli doesn't question the command. Leaping out from the safety of his protective barrier, the Sylveon launches himself at the fluttering Oricorio and attempts to pin it to the ground and sink sharp fangs in deep for a draining kiss.[break][break]

passing![break]

Joli seems delighted that the girl remembers his name, letting out a musical chirp to return the greeting. Deciding that he's shaken off as much of the moisture as he can manage, Florian gives his hat an experimental sniff — thank goodness, it didn't smell of dead Magikarp — and sets it back on his head.[break][break]

Florian giggles as he watches the Ludicolo. "She is causing you some trouble, I imagine!"[break][break]

It seems like the Ludicolo suffers from selective hearing, a problem Florian's become well-acquainted with thanks to his Rapidash. Laverre had one of the worst temperaments he'd ever seen![break][break]

"You are basing a team around rain?" he queries, watching from the corner of his eye as Joli dodges the poisonous fangs of a Sharpedo and fires a moonblast to scare it back into the sea. "That sounds interesting! Are you looking to take the gym challenge with it, or is it just for fun?"

Florian giggles at the overeager youth. It's the sort of spirit he admires in others.

"A Kalosian Pokedex, in fact." He taps the side of his nose and grins. "I would not leave home without it!"

It shows signs of its age in a few scratches along its surface and a crack in one corner of the screen, but it was his first Pokedex and he was determined to hold onto it until it gave out entirely.

"You are not from here either, then!" It's fairy evident that Florian himself is a foreigner, his Kalosian accent strong and as yet unmarred by Hoennian influence. "Professor Florian Laurel, at your service, and I would be delighted to tell you anything you want to know! Fairies are my chosen field of study, you see!"

And there are plenty of them about, it seems. He gestures to an Aromatisse who struts through the trees. A misty terrain follows the Pokemon wherever it walks, and it pays the trainers little mind.

"They are most well known in Kalos, but several Pokemon have been reclassified after further study. Which region are you from, if I may ask? It's very possible that it has fairies, as well!"

"I am sure you'll get there!"[break][break]

Perhaps it might seem that he's being facetious, but Florian had a lot of faith in people. Even if they'd only just met, he believed in her.[break][break]

"A friend tells me that such snows are rare in Hoenn," he provides, speaking of Alexei Ivanov. "I have never liked the cold, but the snow is pretty to look at. Do you get a lot of snow in Galar?" He laughs a little at her off-hand comment on the city. "Yes, compared to Lumiose, Slateport seemed small, at first. But it's a very beautiful city, with its harbors and the beachfront."[break][break]

He gets out of the car, quietly relieved, and eyes the restaurant front with interest. He's never been here, before, but the smell upon opening the door is heavenly.[break][break]

Holding the door open for Chandler, he remarks, "Ah, it smells of home."

"You're a journalist!" It made a little more sense, now, the way she'd approached him as if she'd been about to demand an interview. Force of habit? "That must be quite the position, with all the chaos going on in the region!" [break][break]

It had been quite the culture shock to move from Kalos into the midst of the political crisis going on in Hoenn. The region's commissioner was on the run and her face was all over the news. [break][break]

"Kalos is lovely," he sighs, wistful. "Laverre is especially beautiful in the autumn, when the leaves turn colour on the trees. A beautiful region... but Hoenn is beautiful, too. Especially Verdanturf, if I do say so myself!" He chuckles. "That's where I live. You mentioned Lilycove; is that where you're staying, now?"

"Then I shall consider myself privileged to have such an experienced guide!"[break][break]

Much as Florian was eager to experience all that Hoenn had to offer, and as willing as he'd been to weather such experiences on his own, it was a relief to have befriended someone so soon after his move. In Kalos, he'd been surrounded by people he knew... and yet with such a small amount of time spent in Hoenn, it was already beginning to feel like home.[break][break]

"Ohh!"[break][break]

Alexei draws his attention to a booth selling various masks, and the professor eagerly allows himself to be led in that direction. He's busy giggling over a Mimikyu mask — what a novelty, to disguise oneself as a Pokemon in disguise! — when Alexei finds the Sylveon one.[break][break]

"Oh, yes," he gushes, wiggling his fingers in a silent request for Alexei to hand it over. He fumbles for his wallet with the other hand. "Absolutely I do!"

florian the dragonslayer >)

As much as 'dragon slayer' didn't sound like something the delicate professor would sign up for, Florian Laurel was the perfect man for the job.[break][break]

Wind tugs insistently at his hair as Florian's Togekiss, Juliette, carries them safely toward a grassy knoll. The flight from Verdanturf to Oldale wasn't a particularly long or harrowing one, but he's still relieved when his feet find solid ground. The reports of a very large, possibly-draconian threat had been enough to make the short flight an anxiety-inducing one. He didn't want to be knocked out of the skies![break][break]

Florian recalls his Togekiss and walks the rest of the way to the Oldale Pokemon Center, where he's greeted by a familiar face.[break][break]

"Ah, hello again!" He laughs, and Joli greets the gym leader with an enthusiastic chirp. "We certainly have made a habit of running into each other during the strangest of circumstances! They told me that perhaps there was a dragon, so here I am!"

florian to the rescue!

Florian's anxiety spikes upon receiving the text.[break][break]

People got sick all the time, but that didn't stop his thoughts from racing a million miles a minute. He couldn't help but to worry about every little thing. Were they drinking enough water? Were they getting enough rest? Were they pushing themselves too hard?[break][break]

He responds immediately:[break]
I'm on my way![break][break]

He arrives with a care-package in tow. It's full of tissues, pain-relievers, honey-and-lemon teas, and Florian's secret weapon: a homemade soup that Jonquille had assisted him with, her aromatic petals providing the main ingredient. He'd steeped the thermos of tea with Budew leaves and some of Abeille's pollen puffs, as well. Perhaps the rumours were an old wives tale, but Florian believed in the mystical healing properties of grass and fairy types.[break][break]

He knocks on the door, anxiously tapping his thigh with his free hand.

Florian gets into the car as invited, smiling over at Chandler when she hops into the driver's seat.[break][break]

Cars make him a little nervous even when he's not the one driving, so he decides to make small talk in order to pass the time. What better way to get to know each other, after all?[break][break]

"I did!" the professor confirms. His blue eyes widen as he realises that this gentleman hasn't even heard of them before, and he's all-too-eager to inform him. "Oh, they are not so new, now! But they are a type of Pokemon, yes! Like my Joli, here."

He gestures down at his Sylveon, who chirps at the sound of his name and flicks his large ears.

"Oh, and like those as well!"

Having recently updated his Pokedex to be compatible with information from the Galarian region, Florian is well aware that both of the Pokemon who approach the trainers and their charges are fairy-type as well.

He croons softly at the sight of the Impidimp. What an adorable little creature it was!

His Pokedex pings:
"It sneaks into people's homes, stealing things and feasting on the negative energy of the frustrated occupants."

"Oh... that isn't very nice." Impidimp cackles, and Florian frowns. "If you were my Pokemon, I'd have to teach you some manners — hey!"

Florian had been so focused on the Pokedex that he hadn't noticed the little pink creature yoink one of the pokeballs from his belt. As it runs off, Florian commands Joli to give chase; the ribboned fairy returns shortly afterward with the Impidimp slumped unconscious over his back and the pokeball in his mouth.

"Ah, I feel bad..."

He hates fighting wild Pokemon if he could avoid it, but he's relieved to have Jonquille's pokeball returned to him. As he clips it back to his belt, he takes out an empty ball and taps the dazed Impidimp with it. He'd have to teach it some manners after all.

Though he can't see the battlefield from his position cowering behind the shed, Florian hears Sarah praise his Sylveon and smiles at the knowledge that Joli is faring well. When she calls out her Pokemon's defensive liabilities, the professor pipes up from his cover:[break][break]

"Oh, Joli has just the thing for that! Light Screen, darling!"[break][break]

Sylveon trills in acknowledgement of the command, cutting off the torrent of flame as the Oricorio twirls away and setting up a shimmering screen of light between his allies and the offending ghosts. He winces from the pain of his burn, favouring his injured paw as he, too, limps behind the protective barrier.[break][break]

Under no command of Florian's, the compassionate fairy-type endeavours to prevent such harm coming to his newfound friends. A pink mist begins to spread about the field, counteracting the eerie fog that the ghosts had brought. The misty terrain would serve as a safeguard against burns — and should the Emolga recover from its confusion with haste, would prevent further muddling.[break][break]

time to hunt that shiny for ya![break]

It was a lovely day to visit the beach. After the rough weather they'd been having throughout the month of December, the sun on his skin and the sand between his toes were welcome sensations. He carries his sandals loosely in one hand, the other fruitlessly grasping at empty air when a salty breeze snatches the sun hat from his head.[break][break]

He laughs, unperturbed. "After it, Joli!"[break][break]

Trainer and Sylveon dash as one down the beach, the latter leading the charge with his ribbons fluttering in the wind.[break][break]

Said wind rudely deposits Florian's hat in the surf, and he's shaking the water and seafoam from its surface when he spots a familiar figure close-by.[break][break]

"Allo, miss Annie!" He lifts his free hand to wave, the other still clutching the dripping hat. He grins, gesturing to the dancing Pokemon. What a character it was! "Is that charming Ludicolo yours?"
