| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 149 || TAG: Lucas Night | Leo held his gaze over the blonde for a moment. The man was unbelievable, so sure that his ideals were true, with no space for compromise.
Then, the taunt came. He didn't fight for anything? How did this man know what he did or didn't fight for. With the rage growing out of control, Leo without thinking lunged to grab the man by the collar.
"I tell you what I do fight. Bullies. Small, pathetic, self righteous bastards like you" the teen hissed resisting with all of his might the urge to swing a punch at the man.
Meanwhile, as Ember the Charmander shrugged off the events happening on the ground floor, the Vulpix smiled, nodding gently before reaching for the ball again. "And now... You've got the ball!" the small fox softly batted the ball towards the Charmander using her tails before giggling slightly. "It's nice to be able to play!" |

Given that this was hardly the first time another man had grabbed Lucas by the collar, he remained unrattled. Rather, any veneer of being a perhaps nosy but overall harmless office worker fell away. Tom’s smug smile was all teeth.
“You follow prompts well,” the blonde praised.
Had that all been a setup? Would any reaction of Leo’s have been correct? Undoubtedly, Lucas would have mocked the dark-haired teen for taking the insults without escalating the situation. And, yet, now that he was meeting the words with physical action, all Lucas had to offer was yet more belittlement.
“Tell you what, since I think you could use the assistance: maybe think twice about hitting me. I’m sure the police would love to get a report about you assaulting someone right now.”
One of his hands came down on Leo’s. The touch was gentle; patronizing. He’d push on Leo’s hand to encourage him to let go and listen to Lucas’s advice.
“Trainers solve things by battling, right? And, we’ve got two of our own right above us. Try embarrassing me by winning. It’s a very legal option.”
Above the scene, the charmander giggled as she held the battle high above her head. Hm, that tail move had been good! Maybe she should try? “Totally! Wait, lemme see if I can do that…” She put the ball down and swung her hips. The way she rolled the ball wasn’t as direct as when the vulpix did it, but the move worked all the same.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 195 || TAG: Lucas Night | Leo was losing his head, he never resorted to physical altercations, it wasn't his style, but this man dived straight under his skin.
Wait, he was ENJOYING this?!
Gasping slightly, Leo's rage quickly turned into something less sinister, more shame filled. How could he have lost his cool like that. Was he still reeling from the whole Akira situation?
Feeling the man's hand touching his own, the teen reluctantly released his grip, before cold eyes shifted to fall upon the man.
"So that's your goal... Goad me into trouble..." his voice blunt and emotionless as he made his statement.
He was right about one thing though.
"Ember get down here right now!"
The small fox was mid cheer as she was encouraging the charmander with the use of her tail to strike the ball when her ears pricked up at the sound of her trainers voice. Something was wrong. Making a dash back to where they had recently climbed into the room, the Vulpix turned to her new friend. "Is your trainer as needy as mine?" she asked the charmander before letting loose a soft laugh and jumping down to the floor below and trotting over to Leo.
"Sup?" |

Oh, well, look who simmered down quickly! Tom couldn’t help but laugh. He stepped off the porch with casual ease, forcing himself to calm after that sadistic chuckle. Playing this kid was easy! Oh, the commonfolk were so wonderful, so easy to lead.They’d almost be so charming if they knew how to stay in their places.Declining to correct Leo, Lucas called out to his own starter. “Ember. Come down, my dear.”“Aw, we were just starting to get along!” the charmander whined as her friend left her to attend to her trainer. All the same, the salamander-like fire type climbed back down, mindful of how mucky the terrain could be. She sauntered over to Lucas, waiting expectantly.The blonde smiled over at Leo. This was truly all good fun to the man. If it came at the dark-haired teen’s expense, then oh well.“We’re going to have a battle. Doesn’t that sound fun?”Oh, Ember knew that tone. She pouted. She was having fun with the vulpix! If Lucas was fighting with her trainer, when would the charmander be able to play with her again!? All the same, she didn’t resist, turning to face the other two. “... You’re gonna find me someone else to play with,” she growled to her trainer.That was a responsibility he would accept.EMBER the CHARMANDER level 14 | 140/140 HP female with the blaze ability MOVES: scratch, growl, beat up, ember, smokescreen

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 205 || TAG: Lucas Night | Well it was fun while it lasted for Ember, the Vulpix who very quickly realised what was going on between the two humans before letting loose a huff and a glare at her trainer. "Couldn't you have settled this like men? I was just starting to make a friend!" rolling her eyes she turned to face Lucas and his Ember who was catching up to the group.
"Hey, don't blame me. I'm not the one causing the trouble here..." the teen whined back to his pokemon, receiving nothing but more rolled eyes and a shake of her head.
Even now, this man was laughing at the teen, it was almost as if this entire thing was a game to him. Wait. That was it, how stupid of him, he had very quickly become a play toy for this stranger and not even realised it until it was too late.
It was clear that both Ember's were slightly put out for the fact that they now had to fight each other when they were just starting to have fun playing ball, but c'est la vie. "Good luck twinny!" the fox called to the salamander as she got herself into a battle ready position. "Sorry it had to come to this..."

Whining? To his pokemon? Tom raised a brow, certain by now that Leo wouldn’t need anymore words to make it clear that he was, ah, entertained by that. This whole affair had laid out the blonde’s views very clearly.
“No hard feelings,” the charmander called back.
To her shock, though, Lucas offered advice. He rarely did that! “Scratch,” he suggested. “And, Smokescreen.”
An interesting opening for sure, but the charmander obeyed all the same. Though another fire type might not be too bothered by the haze her first status move produced, the salamander-like starter breathed out the dark fumes all the same. And, with that, she rushed into the fray!
It was time to slash her almost-was friend with Scratch.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 163 || TAG: Lucas Night | Leo held his glare over the blonde as their respective Pokemon took their positions ready for the imminent battle. He was not about to let this arrogant man beat him.
The Vulpix looked to her almost new friend as the salamander-like Pokemon spoke to her. Sighing slightly the fox nodded. "No hard feelings!" she repeated, an almost sad tone in her voice.
The older man issued commands to his Pokemon who began following the orders by billowing out a smoke screen. Why? That wouldn't do much to -
Before the fox could finish her trail of thought, the Charmander had appeared and scratched at her. Wincing slightly as the claws connected with her the Vulpix took a moment to shake off the initial pain before focusing her attention. "Nice opening!" She commended the Charmander before launching forward, whipping her tails in an attempt to throw off her opponent, but speeding dashing into a quick attack.
Leo looked to the opposing trainer once more. "So what's your game?"
SCRATCH HIT!

“Oof!” The charmander reeled. “You’re fast!”
Lucas pressed his lips thin. His starter was being entirely too complimentary towards that vulpix, but he knew the charmander simply adored female friendship. After how long he’d kept her out of sight and out of contact with others, he couldn’t fully blame her. A disinterest in others was extremely unbecoming.
Unfortunately, Lucas had no intention of making up or apologizing or anything like that to Leo, so both Embers would just have to deal with the squandered bond.
“I was curious,” Tom answered, “and this was good fun.” He could have played elusive with his results, but that would have been boring. He’d already seen Leo frustrated and angry. Would betrayal flash in the other man’s eye if he knew he’d been mere sport from the start?
But, back to the battle. “Smokescreen. And, then use that.”
Right. He never liked anyone knowing exactly how many pokemon he had on him. With the cover of the thick smoke, the charmander prepared Beat Up. The pokeballs on Lucas’s hip were obscured, but they jiggled in turn as the pokemon within lent the salamander-like pokemon their might.
It was irritating, Ember thought. Normally, she liked battling. Lately, she'd even focused very much on coming off as especially cool. But, this time, it felt like battling wouldn't give her the thing she actually wanted.

Good news, Autumn is here! The sticky heat of the summer is finally gone, but the bad news? Its gotten very cold very fast. Berrys have fallen early from their perches, fruit and food is getting caught in snap frosts and icy mornings and this is leading to very cold mornings, pokemon getting desprate quickly and dark and chilly evenings
Next season change ~ May 20th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
