How hot could hot springs be? Not that hot right? Well....at least they'd be relaxing soothing for his bones and scars. After all everything still hurt he'd just learn to put the pain past him and move on with his life. Now Alexei had learn some of his physicals pain and the recovery time it takes to get over it. The mental damage he feels every single day, that he has to swallow and move on. Then again....this was meant to be fun! A time for mother and daughter to relax.



Even after moving to Foretree he still was unpacking, figuring out what to do with the rest of his life. And it was frigging hard to say the least. Though he showed up! The hotsprings were waiting for them, and it was a relaxation time. Though he wasn't sure on the proper etiquette when inside of one, so he kind of came prepared with nothing. Not like Alexei hadn't seen him butt naked before. "hi mom!" billi laughed softly.

Shyness was usually what he was met with since he was almost a literal giant stomping around nature. Not that he felt defeated by his size but rather he loved how tall and how big he was. It was part of making himself healthy and strong, that and result of all the manual work he did he keep his pokemon healthy and they returned the favor to him. Usually by protecting him from threats and making sure he eats because he forgot all the time that food was important. "Oh well Drake is a big boy!" Billi smiled brightly letting his hands reach up and scratch the dragons chin.

The three pokemon of Billis moved closer, well not really Impa, rather she kept her distance lingering in the cool shadows of a bush. Allowing her skin to acclimate to the colors around her. "I'm Billi," the giant rubbed the back of his head as the chespin began to wiggle awake. "Oh looks like he's waking up," letting the chespin down it looked around then up, before jumping when it realized there was a giant pokemon and hid behind Billi. "Hey is very shy! big pokemon scare him I'm sorry," the blonde mention before stretching out his arms above his head. "Do you live here?"

"ahhh fresh air!" he smiled as he took in a lung full of country air. The cities were so plagued with pollution it was unreal! Sometimes Billi thought the communities could become more green like the Alola region where they allied with pokemon to support their fellow people. Then again being vegetarian was a choice and Billi had to respect everyone elses decision. And he couldn't expect his pokemon to follow in his foot steps because well their essentially predators fort he most part.

He wasn't really here on any mission, or lead, rather he was thinking of a break, to clear his mind, reallocate himself. After he left being a gym leader, and helping Alexei recover, he felt.....lost, confused, in a way knotted up deep inside. Emotions that were swirlling inside his gut like a whirlpool. Did he ever show people these emotions? No. Why would he. He always had to smile, be the good friend, and only show it when Alexei was ready to help him, and now wasn't about him being selfish. Heck he had a lot to be thankful for as well.

Maybe returning his focus to Vantage and his clothing line would be a good place to start? But wouldn't anyone really want his cloths? Probably not but he could still hope. Mind you while he absently wandering the tall grass, his pokemon were let free as usual. Impa, watched from the corner of her eye as the flaming soccerball zoomed by, kicked by the shiny cinderace. Of course the black greninja fired off Water shuriken to prevent it from hitting the human stranger and the dragonite. "OH!" The blond called out noticing it almost hit him, "I'm sorry! Cinderace is a really bad shot!" he commented with a bright smile, and a shiny chespin in his arm with two big buck teeth. "CHEE" it yawned.

The nurse had stopped him treating him like some kind of lunatic out of the psych ward. The worry on his eyes dewed up with fear and anxiety. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out Alexei's little pokemon. "I gotta see Alexei!" he didn't think the nurse would do anything for him. Rather she kind of scoffed at him. Maybe she was stressed or maybe they didn't identify him? Who knew. But Billi swallowed, "I'm his son," it was a half life but he demanded the attention of the nurse to take him there.

The flight was long and hard. The air pressed against him like he was in a pressure cooker. It spun around his mind muddling over the details and the exhaustion that the tiny insect brought up to him. "Come on Navi," Billi smacked it's back trying to urge it to go forward faster. "hurry," Billi commented as the dragon glided swiftly on the hurricane winds. Soon enough the group arrived at the hospital after about two hours of flying non-stop. Landing on top the hospital the blonde quickly barged himself down the stairs. ALEXEI?!" he screamed out in the halls

Well something was wrong here. Considering that Impa understood what the pokemon was saying, and the blonde could tell something was wrong. He knelt down near the tiny pokemon, holding her in his hand. "Tailor can you bring something to eat and some water," he asked his leavany duo and they quickly grabbed a leaf with water and some...well flowers? cuz it's a bee? Billi moved his fingers to pet her head. "Whats wrong," he asked the tiny pokemon, and Impa nodded. "Okay" she nodded grabbing Billi's hand and then tugging at his phone.

"Look at your phone," she told billi but he couldn't understand. So she took her huge frog fingers to wake up Razzberry. "PPZZRRTT heelo????oh?" it paused and spun around in panic. "BILLI," it echoed Alexei's voice. "WAKE Upppppp" it recorded the sad moment from the past, showing a gravity of the situation. "...." Billi's eyes sank as he looked through his phone not seeing any messages.

"You flew here from there?!" he was deeply concerned, holding back his yelling. "WE NEED TO THERE NOW" He quickly grabbed the tiny pokemon, putting her in his oversized pockets. Then moved to climb on Noivern. "Majora! We have to go find ALEXEI NOW!" he called out as the ultrabeast flew out like a wasp with a backpack. Aspear come!"

The brood was uneasy suddenly. As the heavy winds picked up and they began hissing. The familiar sense of dread, like in the original pokemon movie when the storm raged on outside. Bug buzz was so loud that it alerted Billi and put Impa on edge. Somehow...it appeared that Navi has heard the cries, and took off in a blast of air, picking up the little puff pokemon and transported it to the gym. Where he let her go and ALL of Billi's pokemon surrounded her, and Impa walked up asking is she was lost. Billi was throwing on his sweats to go outside.

"Nono it's alright he's just working." Billi smiled shaking his hands as he moved the chespin forward. It's large tooth showing from it's lips. Then Billi heard about the Gengar and gave a gentle laugh. "Oh don't mind them. Around here they just play pranks and cause mischief. Though...sometimes they can be mean," he nodded. "But I saw that as someone with an aresenal of pokemon to help me out. But you do have pokemon that could help fight it,"

He moved to lean back on the rocks some. "I'm sure if you feed them well you'll get some strong pokemon. And Larvesta turns into Volcarona and their pretty powerful pokemon."

"Oh I figured but you never know. I always found it strange how there was pokemon with mouths and didn't eat things," he laughed softly patting the turtwig on the head. "He's a good little turtle" words slipped out as praise for the pokemon. Even though his own Chespin awkwardly stood behind him minding his own business. The shy chespin noticed the wave and peeked out from behind Billi's leg. "Chesspin?" it spoke up sniffing the air.

what were you running from anyways?" Billi asked concerned for the man.

Machamp quickly turned around as he felt something bump into him. Not that he cared muchly, but still! The muscle jock pokemon turned to look down at the stranger. “maachamp?” it moved some more rocks out of the way getting back to work. Thou Billi turned and noticed someone. “Oh….hi.” he gave a softer smile as this distracted from the saddening aura of the place.

“Are you okay?” Billi asked. Granted he wouldn’t come to mt pyre with a fighting type out and about, no that would be stupid. Of course he had his Shiny Greninja, Impa, lurking by one of the tomb stones in camouflage. Though the blonde’s size may have been intimidating. “ooh a larvesta!” Billi smiles, reaching into his backpack to get some of the snacks he picked up for his larvesta, though it just ended up being dehydrated fruits and berries. “Here you go.”

Billi knelt down and looked at the turtwig. Though he really didn’t know much about their diet because he didn’t own one, he assumed it was like sunlight or vegetation. “I’m sorry….little turtwig I don’t know what to give you,” Normally he wouldn’t have brought out a baby pokemon to the graveyards but Chespin INSISTED on going out on a trip. And he carried a GIANT acorn, that he drew a face on.
