Keep in mind this thread takes place after the Summer Gala event, as I believe we are liquid.
Sitting at a bench on Route 115 just outside of Rustboro City, it was late in the afternoon when Sylvester had sent Andrea a text via his pokenav. Asking if she was in the area and could meet with him out in the wilds surrounding Rustboro, Sylvester was glad to get a text confirming she would be there in the hour.
Leaving the reason as to why blank, he could always ask for another battle with Andrea if she seemed to be in the mood. Though, other things had been on his mind—particularly the events that took place at the summer gala in Slateport City. He hadn't talked to or seen Andrea at all since then, so he figured it was a good opportunity to catch up. While they were at it, he could even show her how much stronger his pokemon had gotten, as well as the two new pokemon that joined his team recently.
Still sitting on the bench, Sylvester surveyed the trail leading back into Rustboro City from Route 115. In the distance he could make someone out that was heading this way. 'I hope that is her...'
both absol and andrea chased after the speedy electric-type, the creature infuriatingly cocky as she peered over her shoulder at the now exhausted pair. her mistress had donned shorts and a tank top for this occasion, the human's forehead now beaded with sweat. her mouth was open as she panted, attempting to control her breathing as she maintained a steady pace. beerus also appeared to be struggling somewhat, his muscles still developing as he grew. his teeth was bared as he struggled onward.
"gotta - pant - make it - pant."
"ab - pant - sol."
her muscles were aching terribly. both arms and legs screaming at her as she moved. andrea's lungs were freaking the fuck out in response to the exercise. attempting to administer an appropriate amount of oxygen to her blood as it swam throughout her veins.
"don't - pant - understand - pant - how she's that fuckin' fast."
"lux!"
the pokemon skidded to a halt, greeting sylvester with a purr. both andrea and absol followed moments later, both collapsing onto the ground once their goal was reached.

Sylvester gave a puzzled look towards Andrea, who had collapsed along with her Absol before him. "Uh...hi there." The Luxio was still quite lively with energy, Sylvester guessing that this was likely due to it being an electric type pokemon. "You know you probably could have just...kept your pokemon in it's ball?" At least that would've saved her all that energy she spent running, trying to catch up to the Luxio. Though, Sylvester also liked to let his pokemon out an about. Though now that he had so many, it was a hassle to let them all out at once.
"So...how have you been doing since the gala?" Probably not the question she wanted to hear, though at least it meant he cared for her to some extent. They were friends after all, though Sylvester was also curious about her connections to the events that transpired towards the end of that night. Particularly the show Team magma put on for them. Whatever her role had been, Sylvester was very keen on finding it out. Otherwise? Well, his friendship with Andrea was going to be spread thin.
andrea's luxio blinked as she retrieved a bottle of water from her backpack. she gulped down a portion of it before pouring out the rest for her pokemon whom lapped at it greedily.
"holy shit. that fuckin' sucked," she said.
the girl put away the now emptied bottle, retrieved absol's capsule, and returned the now fatigued pokemon inside. andrea remained seated, continuing to breathe for a good while before she wiped at her brow as sylvester questioned her well-being. the coordinator glanced at him, and appeared to ignore the male for a moment as she averted her gaze. but, after a brief period of time, she responded. her tone was serious.
"shit got real - it's gettin' real, sylvester. and... things have been changin' fer me ever since."
she stood, and tanya peered up at her mistress curiously.
"i'm not gonna bullshit ya, ya know? 'cause ya stood fer me and took care of me and my pokemon when ya didn't have ta do shit."
she shook her head.
"i'm... i'm tryin' ta fight aqua and magma. i wanna bring the fight to 'em, actually. what happened back there? that mc-ranger-fuck was kinda-sorta right. i had somethin' the magma crew wanted. i took from 'em. and they got pissed."

"Yeah, I used to work out before I became a trainer. My parents didn't want me going out on my lonesome when I was younger, in fear I might get kidnapped for a ransom." After all, Sylvester's family was filthy rich. Andrea didn't quite know that, though. "I do enough walking now though, I don't feel the need to exercise anymore." Truth be told, maybe he could use a good work out. It would certainly help vent from all the stress and pent-up frustration. Though, as Andrea went on, his troubled mind was relieved portions at a time. 'So she stole something...huh.'
"What exactly did you take to make them that angry?" That was the million dollar question. Whatever Andrea was trying to do, it certainly worked. At least she knew how to get things done, and definitely wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Though at the cost of becoming wanted by the Rangers of Hoenn region.
"I don't blame you, though. I am kinda glad I had the chance to stick it to'em. Too bad Aqua wasn't there to get their share of it all." At least then Sylvester still had something to look forward to. Although, he was certain that was not the last they had seen of Magma either. 'I should go train with my pokemon some more...' If Andrea was going to throw herself into the fray like that again, Sylvester would want to get in on the action as well.

the female chuckled, eyes glimmering with an infectious warmth as she peered in sylvester's direction. he appeared more intrigued than anything else. and that had left the girl much more willing to share her knowledge with him as a result.
"cash," she hissed.
andrea smiled at her friend.
"and i'm glad ta hear that, my man."
the city girl slapped his shoulder affectionately.
"we'll stick it to 'em some more. yer free ta join in...if yer ever interested, i mean."
the coordinator's smile vanished after imagery of what had occurred at the gala flashed within the confines of her mind.
"ya did me a real good service."
"lux, luxio."
the electric-type pressed her body against the human male, a purr escaping her as she rubbed her scent onto his trousers - a gesture that signified both affection and possessiveness.
"i owe ya a solid. if ya ever need me, i'm one call away."
Post by Sylvester Blackburne on Jul 23, 2015 20:39:58 GMT
Sylvester gave a gentle smile at her affectionate gesture aimed for his shoulder. Knowing now that it was simply money, Sylvester realized it was just a fundamental tactic of bringing them down. If they hadn't any money to spend on resources, then how could they possibly operate appropriately? Or at all, for that matter. 'At least she didn't take a weapon of theirs.'
"Well, if you insist..." Sylvester brought the Luxio up onto the bench with them, guiding his hand through it's soft ebon fur. After a moment of attention, his gaze shot over towards Andrea, his hand placing itself over her own and holding it there in his grasp. "You can let me know in advance when you plan to do something like that again." The look on his face seemed fairly worried.
"No one can survive in this world without help." Reluctantly letting go of her hand, Sylvester shifted his gaze back towards the Luxio. Now he appeared even more solemn than before, speaking in a much lower tone than before. "You have strong pokemon, that much is cetain, but remember what happened without them."
'Let me help you...' Words Sylvester wanted to say, but could not bring himself to utter in her presence.

andrea blinked at the man, bewilderment causing her pretty features to crease somewhat. his hand had grasped her smaller one, the warmth behind the gesture obvious.
"okay," she replied, dumbly.
once he pulled away, the girl snapped out of her daze, blinking rapidly and smiling in a silly manner.
"don't get too serious on me now, sylvester," she said, chuckling.
retreating a step, the girl gestured toward the skies above. they were clear, the occasionally fluffy cloud coming to pass.
"i got ya, right? i also got dmitri. broski. julius. bunny..."
andrea paused briefly, pursing her lips as she felt a surge of emotion. her smile lessened somewhat.
"but i ain't gonna drag ya behind me. i would prefer ya stood right by my side."
she offered her hand.
"we ain't nothin' special yet. but we'll get there. are ya willin' ta risk it all? you could always stay an ordinary trainer instead. keep up with the badges. play it safe and keep yer nose out of this."
i don't want ya hurt. especially if yer not willin' ta take the risk.
she leaned closer to the man whom she had come to respect so quickly, a malicious gleam in her eye.
"i'm willin' ta fuck with the present world order; and bring justice ta all the fuckers who think they can screw around with us and get away with it. tell me, sylvester, and tell me up front. are ya willin' ta do the same?"
Post by Sylvester Blackburne on Jul 23, 2015 22:17:08 GMT
The otherwise concerned or worrisome look on Sylvester's face had disappeared. Now he simply stopped moving, thoughts circulating as he seemed to draw a blank. That was, until a malicious grin tug at the corner of his lips. He scoffed lightly at her words...
"That all depends on who." His hands folded together over his lap, letting Andrea's Luxio do as it pleased as he leaned back, elbows leaning against the frame of the bench they sat upon. "I have no qualms if what you are asking of me has to do with teams aqua and magma...or even the rangers, for that matter." His view of them had been skewered by the lone ranger who gave them a bad reputation at the summer gala.
"However..." His tone grew more hoarse, his head angling itself to look over towards her momentarily. "I don't intend to interfere with the daily lives of everyone in Hoenn." Sylvester needed to make that clear to her, his expression appearing stern in nature before returning his gaze forwards.
"So...elaborate a little more as to what exactly you had in mind?" The baited hook had already been cast long ago, on that fateful night. And as far as he was concerned? Sylvester had already swallowed the hook whole. He was caught in the middle of a feud, and Sylvester would be damned if he wasn't going to do something to stop anything like that happening again. At least in such a locale.

"ya remember what i said earlier?"
andrea pulled away, a playful gleam in her eye as she kept the ball rollin'. appeased by his interest, the female spread her arms wide open.
"i wanna bring the fight to 'em!"
clicking her tongue, she bounced on her toes, conveying her excitement as she moved about in random patterns.
"sylvester," she purred. "i ain't aimin' fer any small fry here. ya think i'll uproot the ordinary folk when they ain't got shit ta do with this? i ain't bullshittin', after all. imma be one-hundred percent real with ya."
she pointed toward the earth.
"groudon."
the girl than pointed toward a random direction.
"kyogre."
she gestured skyward.
"rayquaza."
waggling a finger, she allowed him to let the names of the present legends sit within his mind for brief period of time.
"earth, sea, and sky. balance. but we're sorta skewed here. aqua and magma dominate. and the rangers honestly don't give a fuck. as long as they're fillin' their pockets and executin' the occasional mission they're 'solid'. now, ya already know, that shit ain't workin' out. people are sufferin', and they honestly don't give a shit about it. jester could've died on that night. and do ya know how many fucks they would have gave? none."
she ceased her rambling, eyes intense as anger began to set in.
"fuck sittin' around. fuck it. imma step up and do my duty to my region and fight fer it while i can. rangers ain't gonna do it fer us. and the police definitely ain't gonna. so why not try ta do it ourselves?"
andrea looked at sylvester.
"w-what i'm sayin' is... is that i wanna build a team. or start one, at least. one that don't tolerate that kinda bullshit. criminals. aqua. magma. rangers. whatever. we're gonna deal with 'em on our own. and we're willin' ta get on their level ta do it. magma stole from so many people. so we decided ta steal from 'em. and they threw a fuckin' fit because of it."
Post by Sylvester Blackburne on Jul 24, 2015 1:05:56 GMT
Sylvester raised a brow at the mention of Groudon, Kyogre, as well as Rayquaza. 'Balance...?' Her idea was relatively sound, though he wondered what exactly the role was that those legendary pokemon had to play in her master plan. Sylvester, no doubt, knew his own role before she could set one in stone for him. He wasn't the type to let others meddle with his own fate. Though, it would likely play into her plan.
"A team, you say?" A stark tone broke out to dispel his utter silence after listening to Andrea. "So you want to join the arms race?" It wasn't a bad plan. Perhaps not the greatest plan, but stooping to their level would make them realize how serious they all were in opposing the other criminal factions.
"It might work. Hard to say until we dare to find out." Those were the words Andrea just may have been looking forward to hearing. From the sound of it, Sylvester was now on-board with the plan. Or rather, the team. "But tell me something first...
What is it that you plan to do with Rayquaza?" From what Sylvester had come to gather, all three of these legendary pokemon were hibernating somewhere far away. Out of reach, most would call them. 'Does Andrea know something about them?'
Post by andrea warren on Jul 25, 2015 18:52:02 GMT
she bit her lip.
"that's fer me ta know."
andrea playfully bopped his nose with a finger.
"and fer ya ta find out."
whipping out tanya's pokeball, she returned the electric-type to the red and white sphere. attaching the capsule to her belt in a smooth motion, the girl eyed the male - an amused gleam in her eye.
"how 'bout this, sylvester," she purred. "ya fight me and then ya got a good chance of gettin' what ya want. if ya win, of course. now, if ya do, i'll tell ya what ya want ta know. or i'll do somethin' special fer ya."
the coordinator's tone grew slightly husky. and a knowing look adjusted itself onto her prettied features.
"so what do ya say? up fer another battle with lil' ole' me?"
andrea retreated a step.
and then she did so again, an obvious bounce in her step as she grew more and more eager.

Sylvester stood up at the hint of a battle between them. 'She certainly doesn't want to make things easy for me.' That would have to change soon enough, though she had gotten him in the mood. Reaching into the depths of his trench coat, Sylvester showed a pokeball before releasing it's contents. "Sylveon!"
Marley happened upon the field, a coat of pink and white glistening in the daylight. "Alright Marley, Andrea here wants a rematch." The pokemon nodded towards Sylvester, turning back towards Andrea with glaring eyes. Though, it was hard to look menacing when you were arguably the most adorable pokemon. Even still, Marley was fiercely determined to make Sylvester proud in this battle...

"good question."
andrea eyed the fairy-type, pursing her lips as she carefully considered the pokemon she had on hand. with a shrug, she plucked one from her belt - the first one. it had a water insignia etched onto it, and with an eager grin on her face, she tossed it toward the fairy-type.
"go, java!"
the pokemon made his entrance releasing a quiet croak as he did so.
"marley's lookin' pretty powerful," andrea commented, glancing at the pretty pokemon. "i ain't too surprised. he took down java in a few hits last time."
"frog-a-dier," java replied, greeting the fairy-type.
"ready fer action, boy?"
the pokemon released a noise akin to an excited growl.
"water pulse!"
a sphere of dimly glowing liquid appeared in the creature's paw before it was cast toward his foe. this was followed by another, an eager gleam in java's eye as he executed the speedy motions.
torrent - - lv.17 - - 100% dark pulse - - bubble - - growl - - quick attack - - ice beam - - water pulse java used water pulse! java used water pulse!

It appeared Andrea was not going to stall for time in this little bout of their's. Her Froakie had apparently evolved, though after scanning it with his pokedex it did not seem to have any type advantage, or disadvantage for that matter. After her own pokemon's attacks were sent forth, Sylvester retaliated with his own...
"Marley, uses Dazzling Gleam." The Sylveon, after being battered by the pulses of water, would reap it's revenge with a stark flash, potentially blinding his foe, as well as the trainers as a side-effect. Though, it did not last very long. "One more time." Yet another blinding light would gleam from the pokemon, bringing with it a sensation of harm upon the Frogadier. Sylvester made a subtle smirk.
'I wonder what Andrea has in mind after this battle.'
Pixilate - Lv.18 - Mildly Injured Marley is hurt by Water Pulse! Marley is hurt by Water Pulse! Marley uses Dazzling Gleam! Marley uses Dazzling Gleam!
