"--Okay??" Well, She's Off... So He Tosses The Bag To The Side Of The Bed Again. Now He Can Only Hope

80% of the ocean is unexplored by YOU GUYS. i've seen the whole thing

"Bwahaha!!"

More laughter echoes through the room as Archie plucks a Pokéball from the belt clip. He tosses it into the air, and out comes his Muk. An unpleasant aroma fills the air as the Pokémon cries out angrily.

"Wouldn't dare dissapoint now, would I? Who d'ya take me fer?"

A wave of his hand, and the Poison-type starts preparing a Sludge Wave to toss at the opposing Sylveon.

Of course he does.

Again, maybe she should be scared. Maybe she shouldn't be staying here and responding to his laugh with a chuckle of her own. Maybe she should just leave and leave the world saving situation to the Champion.

"Kind of expected that, yeah!"

Her PokèBall was thrown in the air one last time before she finally released her Sylveon, who laaaazily stretched as soon as he landed on the battlefield-to-be. So calm.

"Try to be at least a little bit better than your grunts, okaaaay?"

TM21:Frustration - How do you process or work through your emotions? TM22:Solar Beam - Do you have any aggressive traits?

Pokemon Asks: TMs (ORAS) - Accepting!

"...I'm gonna be honest with ya. I have no idea. Usually jus' let it all pile up or ignore them. Then they eventually jus' go away on their own."

As for aggressive traits...

"I mean, I like breakin' stuff sometimes, an' I am no' afraid t'throw punches if needed. So yeah, I guess?"

"I jus' wanna ask ya somethin'... I can't even really like. Leave this thing. Promise."

Yeah okay he has a feeling he's kinda fucked now.

BESTIES WHY THE FUCK IS FORMER LEADER OF TEAM AQUA ARCHIE IN PLUMERIA'S BATHTUB. WHY IS HE A FISH. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!

" no thanks sorry"

He's about to say something, but that'd totally ruin the moment, so he closes his mouth again.

Still, his expression probably says enough. He's literally pouting like a sore loser. If it weren't for these wounds...

Archie huffs, but soon enough he's pulled back in, the marking causing him to let out a groan. He feels a little useless, though, being stuck without much movement options. Maybe they could have another round when he was feeling better. Wait what?

The Aqua opts to pull Guzma closer, one hand roughly cupping his face and tugging him into another bitey smooch.

Yeah, nah. We're not moving anymore. As soon as Archie dared to try and get back on top, the same hand that until then was busy holding the former Aqua's jaw moved on his chest, all while its twin still tried to lift his shirt, making sure he wouldn't try anything weird.

Just as he realizes that, all things considered, he won that little match, Guzma finally dares to smirk, breaking the kiss with the umpteenth bite just to hiss at the scratches on his back, breathing against the other's lips before once again pushing himself against neck, leaving yet another mark on it.

At this point, he might as well keep on playing this game, yeah?

Phew... Seems like he passed the vibe check somehow. At least for now, that was.

"Heh. Hey there, bud."

Archie lights up at the Crobat inspecting him, before pulling out a Pokéball and tossing it in the air. Out comes his own Crobat, battle-scarred beyond belief, but seemingly very content to be there.

Crobat makes a gentle clicking noise, curious about this other Crobat that's here.

"There we go. Now it's a playdate."

The only change in his expression so far: a narrowing of his eyes, scrutinising poor Archie further.

Hm.... on further inspection...

No, any familiarity must just be his imagination.

Cyrus finally cares to look away, breaking all the tension.

"That's unnecessary," He answers at once, before pausing, contemplating, and then switching his focus between Archie and the Crobat at his side. He cocks his head towards the stranger, and as if commanded to, Cyrus' Crobat breaks away from its owners space to investigate Archie. "- But that's what it wants to do, so very well."

"..." Well. He's out of the cramped bathtub at least. He's currently just curled up on the bed in the spare room handed to him, trying to get comfortable.

Why couldn't it have been a waterbed... He's gotten too used to the sway of the ocean again.

He carefully runs a hand over the stitches Plumeria did, sighing. Woman clearly knew what she was doing with them. Probably had to patch up that Guzma more often than not, or grunts. Either way, it was impressive. Mightyena gives him a lick in the face, clearly worried about his trainer. Archie pats him on the head, trying his best to smile genuinely. Guess the Pokémon could sense he was out of it better than anyone here. Made sense. Been together for ages. "I'll be alri'." Still, he felt a little feverish. Should probably mention that to Plumes-- Plumeria next time she comes to check up on him.

For now he'd try to rest.

"Well, that's good. I feel like I hear stories 'bout them fuckin' people up all the time."

Tapu were weird like that. Fickle, as some would say. "I met Jirachi once. Still got the picture 'n everythin'."

“— yeah. That was me.”

It’s always so weird when people know who they are. It’s something that Ree knows that other people know about, but…

“— I only met bulu once. An’ that was by accident mostly. But he didn’t like, hurt me or nothing.”

ughhh i need to fix up this guy's blog theme i thought it'd show links -flips table- ))
