    Ooc so Elio like men too? XD you're talking about the normal type uh person xd I forget the terminology at the moment, but the one with pink hair?


    Ic Now that dawn at broken the eeire dark sky, Navi was able to travel to her destination, setting a course for Poni Island. Upon leaving Po Town, the entire town was kept quiet amongst the dewy atmosphere. And with a simple look back at the mansion, Navi was on her way out of Po Town, and leaving the island (somehow... XD I guess by boat?)


    By the time she arrived the sun was more visable and the heat was now noticeable. Navi sighed as she stepped out onto the deck, stretching her arms up as though she had been staying still the whole time. She carefully made sure she had everything on her before pulling out a piece of paper that told her where to meet the clients.

    ooc: the trial captain himself!


    lets be honest tho, literally everyone has or had a crush on Ilima at some point. Pretty much the entirety of tumblr is thirsty for him


    (tho personally i headcanon Ilima as a non binary who uses male pronouns, but whatever)


    Elio had a small crush on Ilima as well (what with in game text being all like "The way Ilima looked during that battle lingers in your mind"), and Rotom loved to tease him about ("Dreamboat Ilima bzzt!"). Ilima friendzoned him, and they kinda just stopped talking. Elio got over him.


    I find it weird that the game was pushing for Player x Ilima for awhile, but after the first island, Ilima doesn't play a role at all for the rest of the game. This tells me that whatever feelings the players was supposed to have, they got over it.


    Which I'm perfectly fine with. Lillie is the waifu anyways

    Ooc... the game was pushing it?... I never got that vibe..
    And tumblr is thirsty for everything.. that's just a fact
    Idk I guess I sort of look at the characters like what they're supposed to be. Plus Japan just has a habit of making genders "hard to identify"

    Ooc: I think I might add on another character later who might be a former member of Team Skull but they either left or got kicked out. Truth be told, I just want someone to mess with Guzma.


    "You sure about that?..." Caden asked as he went to look over at Nuzleaf who chomping down on some of the beans, soon telling the Grass-type to save some for the others. Once he had turned his attention back onto the pale blonde, she had her head buried in her hands while letting out a quiet huff.


    "I don't know..." Lillie soon told him as she lifted up her head to look at Caden, allowing for him to still see what she was saying. The boy shifted in his seat a little so that he was facing her more before telling Lillie, "Look... I know we still might not know each other that well but if there's something bothering you, you can tell me... At least until your brother comes over because I have a feeling he still doesn't like me."


    Lillie smiled a little at Caden's comment about Gladion before she said, "I think it's because he thought you were flirting with me before... That, and it's hard for him to open up to others..."


    Needless to say, Caden looked a bit confused when Lillie had said that, "What?... Sorry, flirting?... Um, no offense... But I wasn't flirting with you before..." Lillie gave a breath-like laugh before shaking her head slightly at Caden, "Of course not... I knew that, but I don't think Gladion did."

    ooc: good point
    ic: "Let's see, plenty of food, check! Pokémon food, check! Shampoos, check! Laundry detergent, check! Condoms, check! Tampons, check! Medicines,...looks like T's gonna need a refill soon" Plumeria did her usual morning rounds. Making sure they arn't running low on supplies. She was always the one in charge of budgeting.


    "Morning Plumes!" Guzma greeted, a mug of tapu cocoa in hand.
    "Hey Guzma"


    The two ate their breakfast in silence. "Somethin' on your mind there, Plumes?"
    "Oh, it's nothing. Just, uh...really amazed at how much money we got from those Aether guys"
    "I know right!? Isn't Lusamine the best?" Guzma agreed, having a dreamy look on his face.
    "Yeah. The greatest" the envy was real

    The food was delicious, especially once they reunited with their Pokemon. He released each of his Pokemon - Primarina, Raichu, Flareon - introduced them to Caden, and, once they returned to their room, recapped them, alongside Rotom, briefly on what they'd missed. Upon finishing, he yawned. "Guess it's time to hit the hay." He returned his Pokemon to their Pokeballs before climbing back up into the top bunk to lay down. He was about to wish Gladion a good night, but his friend beat him to it, asking if he knew about Elio's crush on his sister. "Well, they've always gotten along really well," Hau began, "but I didn't know he liked her. I'm just as surprised as you are." He wondered how Gladion felt about the situation - Lillie was his sister after all. And Elio was a close friend. It must've felt even stranger to him than to Hau himself. He wanted to ask about it, but sleep was pulling at his eyes and there was a long day ahead of them. They could talk after they slept on it. "I don't know about you, but I'm beat. I'm gonna get some sleep. Try not to fret about it too much, eh? Let's see what happens first."


    ~
    Hau woke hazily the next morning, tidbits of dreams he couldn't really remember drifting in his head and leaving a sinking feeling in his stomach. He didn't really feel rejuvenated, and though he couldn't remember waking up that night, he hadn't fallen into a restful sleep either. He sighed, knowing yesterday's events would likely be following everyone into their dreams for a while.


    He let himself lay there on his bed for a time, even though it was a little too warm to be comfortable. It felt strange to be staying still, but his usual boundless energy seemed to be lacking that morning. So he just stared at the ceiling and let his thoughts roam, but soon found the longer he remained motionless, the more energy seemed to escape him. He rubbed at his bleary eyes in frustration and forced himself upright. He glanced about the room, wondering if Gladion was awake now.

    Echo

    Hearing the sound of - licking was it? - followed shortly by Gladion's voice, Hau climbed down the bunk. Now that the two of them were up, it was time to get ready. "G'mornin'," he told his friend and the Pokemon atop him once they were in sight.


    OOC: Guys, I swear I'm not trying to make you wait! No matter what this looks like.


    Also, welcome White Fang!

    OOC: Just let me know when you finish your form :3. And don't sweat it, GrassKitsune ^ ^


    For a while, Lillie sat there chatting with Caden, occasionally taking sips of her coffee. Eventually the conversation got onto the subject of the Aether Foundation, causing Lillie to got quiet as she stared into her half-emptied cup. Caden took notice of this before he asked, "Sorry... I'm guessing you don't want to talk about them, huh?"


    "It's not that..." Lillie replied before adding, "It's just my mother... Who runs the place. She's been pretty rotten lately, I can hardly recognize her as the person who once raised my brother and I... She's done some terrible things and I-I..." Lillie soon fell quiet when she realized that she had gone off about her mother to Caden, "I-I'm sorry, I've been ranting..."


    Caden shook his head and gave her a reassuring smile, "That's okay! I don't mind at all, it's good to get some things off your chest, right?"


    "Yes... It is" Lillie responded as she went back to staring into her beverage.

    Caden felt Gladion's sharp, green eyes boring into him before he even saw the other. He slowly looked up and waved in greeting at Gladion though his expression remained neutral, he knew that the other still didn't like him... But what could he do? You couldn't exactly force people to favor you, so why even try?


    Lillie turned to look at Gladion when she had noticed that Caden was looking elsewhere, the boy becoming tense at the sight of her brother. Which who could blame him? He did sort of attack him after all. Lillie shot Gladion a disapproving look, wishing that he would just drop it already.

    Once he was finished doing everything necessary before heading out, Hau followed his friend into the lobby where the two of them found Lillie and, unexpectedly, Caden at the cafe table. Lillie looked put out and Caden concerned. Catching the annoyed vibe from Gladion at the sight, he decided he would break the ice. "Hey, Caden! Wasn't expecting to see ya again so soon." He silently hoped Gladion would go with it.


    OOC: Okay, thanks for being patient with me!

    "Hey Guzma, have you ever considered, I dunno, why Gladion might have betrayed us?" Plumeria pressed
    "He was never a part of Team Skull and you know it! He never even tried to be one of us. No uniform, no sick moves, no rappin', heck! He refused to even live in Po Town. There's no loyalty! Never was" Guzma responded, his rage making itself clear with each and every syllable. "Far as I'm concerned, what that lil brat did was inevitable"
    "Y-yeah, how dare he. After all we did for him" Plumeria went along with Guzma's story, not wanting to start any conflict.
    "Anyways, I've got grunts on every island looking for those kids. You should probably join them. Now if you'll excuse me, i've got a Z move to try out" Guzma stood up, flashing off what used to be Elio's Z ring. When I say they took everything from him, I do mean everything

    OOC: No problem :3


    Caden looked over at Hau when he caught movement from him, greeting him with a small smile and a wave as well. "Hi, Hau. Hi, Gladion. I was getting some beans for my team" He told them before gesturing towards Nuzleaf who was still holding tight onto the batch of beans he had, eyeing the two other trainers closely.


    "We were just talking, care to join us?" Lillie asked the two, though when she mentioned that they were talking; she gave Gladion a look that clearly read, 'Do not start anything.'

    Lillie blinked a few times as she looked up towards where Nurse was, "O-oh. I'm on my way." The young girl soon got up from her seat, uttering a quiet 'excuse me' to Caden before she hurried towards Nurse Joy's counter to receive the phone from her; thanking the nurse before putting the phone against her ear, "Hello?"
