there was something about home that filled nia with a sense of discontent. maybe it was the way that everything had stayed the same although she had changed or there were some subtle differences. she drug her hand along the familiar door frame of professor birch's lab. she remembered leaving from this very place in a huff, stating that she was going to make her own destiny. she remembered the smug expression of the professor who shook his head as if he had heard the same speech again and again. but that was seven years and she stood here now different from where she aw then. pushing the door open lightly, she was shocked to see a familiar poke ball sitting within an incubator just as it had seven years ago.
she walked closer to the pokeball and reached out to place her hand against it. the glass was so cool against her fingertips, and it felt foreign. so much different from the life that was inside of it. tapping the incubator lightly, it began to open up and the pokeball twitched to life once and then twice. she looked around for any signs of the professor. she wanted to get in and out of the area as quickly as possible without anyone seeing her or asking to reminisce. but she had to come back for her friend.
"al? are you in there?"
the ball twitched again and again before coming to life as an eevee emerged from it. the fox-like pokemon leap up in the air to greet her, she held out her arms to catch him. al made a noise of happiness as he nestled his face against her chest. the pokemon then looked up at her with wide brown eyes and she felt as though her heart was melting. remembering the day all those years ago when she left him behind.
"al. i'm so sorry."
she put her forehead to his and the pokemon let out a softer noise before hopping down from her arms and making a dash for the door, looking back at her expectantly.
"..right. adventure."

This had to be a joke. A scam. A fucking mistake. Cael refused to accept this pokemon as his starter. It was useless. Pathetic. Weak. If either of his siblings saw him with a castform of all things - by Arcues, he'd be sure to be the laughing stock of the family.
His anger was natural. Cael wasn't overreacting or getting dramatic. He was a sane individual that believed he deserved a proper, strong pokemon like the rest of these trainers. So it was perfectly understandable (in his terms) for him to literally kick through the door shouting.
WHAM!
"PROFESSOR!" Cael's voice growled out. Both fists were balled up and his stance was rigid. "Give me a better pokemon, dammit! What do you expect me to do with this little piece of -" Cael paused as his eyes fell on a girl and her eevee. Wait, where was the professor?
His bright eyes narrowed. She was the third person he had seen carrying around one of these eevees now, and it was no secret Cael was upset that he'd been given the shit end of the stick. "The fuck are you looking at?" he spat in her direction. Cael didn't mean to take his anger out on her - she just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
she had a patience for many things. screaming children, annoying traffic, elderly who were taking their time crossing the street. all of those things were normal and just things to have patience with. but she didn't have time to be patient with loud-mouthed flame haired idiots. and to show her discontent, she motioned for al to climb up on her shoulder before pulling up a little chair close to the brute. standing onto the chair, she reached up to pat his head.
"there. there. is the angry little puppy upset at the professor?"
she had heard about many of the new trainers being appalled with their given pokemon. honestly, most of the times that they had been gifted with were quite new and rare, and she was lucky to have gotten an eevee at the least. for some idiot to come storming in about something so trivial, it was embarrassing in the least. hopping down from the chair and patting al's head lightly, she gave him an impassive glance over her shoulder.
"the professor won't be back for awhile. so tuck your tail between your legs doggy, i'm sure that your pokemon is perfectly healthy and necessary for whatever idiotic antics that you choose to do."
shots fired. shade thrown.
if this person was half the idiot that she thought he was, he'd most likely try to intimidate her or fire back with some short comment. then again - there wouldn't be any fun in a pokemon adventure if there wasn't a little conflict.
She didn't say anything to him. And he didn't move while she grabbed for a chair and stood on it. It didn't occur to Cael what exactly she was doing until her hand was atop his head, patting it as if he were some sort of housepet. Quite literally, Cael felt his height and manhood decrease.
The impulse to hit her just then intensified from 0 to 100 real quick. "Keep a level head, Cael," the redhead thought to himself. "No need to start getting arrested for punching girls." All the while he imagined how satisfying it would feel to have his fist connect with her face.
But of course she just had to continue, insulting him with further names. Day one of his pokemon journey and he had already made a rival, if that's what you could even call it. Him an idiot? Cael would prove her wrong.
With both hands at the pockets of his jeans, Cael would thrust his foot forward, kicking the chair she had left in front of him, and send it flying back onto the ground. "You've got some balls for a little girl," he snapped. "How about you come say that nonsense to my face without your handy dandy chair this time? I'll be sure to return the gesture." He beckoned for her with his hand, the scowl on his face deepening.
he was quite the brute wasn't he? but she couldn't help but smile whimsically if not a tad bit. he reminded her of a rowdy little puppy that she had seen on her travels. it would nip at her or bark at her but as soon as she came close to it and glared, it rushed behind its owner. it was the cutest thing ever to see such a small thing defend its place. but this person was much taller than her, but he had the same enthusiasm as that little puppy.
"what are you, five? if i come over there and say the truth to your face, you'll only try to hit me."
she had seen the same thing happen before. she had made a rather snide remark to a girl and was promptly hit in the face for it. before she could even rise to defend herself, her hero had taken it upon herself to defend her. maybe that was the first time that she -. stop. she looked towards the brutish man and took the hem of her dress in her hand promptly bowing with a curtsy.
"my name is nia romanov, the professor won't be in for awhile so just take a seat and cool off. although you probably destroyed his chair with that monster-like kick, that wasn't very nice of you. that chair may have had feelings too."
she smiled towards al who gave her a look of concern. patting his head lightly, she straightened up and put her arms behind her back.
"so. until he gets back, tell me. why are you so upset about the new partner that you were given, doggy?"

Another promise , another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And
all the green belts
wrapped around our minds
endless red tape to keep
the truth confined
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us
We will be victorious
Rule one - - - Don't fuck with someone's bae.
Andrea had happened upon the scene, having backtracked from her original location to reunite with her closest childhood companion. Rushing into the facility, her infectious excitement quickly transformed from bewilderment to disbelief into absolute irritation. She had observed the short conflict with a prominent scowl adjusted onto the sharp features of her face. Andrea didn't like the male's posture, his tone, or his shitty attitude. Especially not toward her girl. So before she voiced a proper introduction, she approached the pair with curled lips and bared teeth as she proceeded to get into the red-head's face.
"The hell ya think ya talkin' to, bitch?"
She snarled out the choice words, her hands curled tightly into fists as she addressed the irritated male.
"'cause all I hear is all kinds of stupid ass whiny bullshit spillin' out that mouth of yours. And you best not talk to my girl like that before I slap that stupid expression off your Arceus-damned face. You pull that temper-tantrum like bull again and you 'bout ta have a bad day."
Andrea pressed closer to him as she spoke, eyes alight with righteous fury as she moved to defend her calm female counterpart. Her face so close that a bit of spittle was launched in his general direction as she spat out her lengthy string of insults.
Cael didn't care what her name was or if that chair "had feelings". He also didn't care to complain to her about the choice of pokemon Professor Birch had given him, mainly because at this point, he felt it would only make him look like more of a loser. But more importantly, if the professor wasn't here, then there was no point in Cael sticking around if that meant sharing the room with this girl. "Humph," he grunted, ready to turn and walk back out the door. As his foot swerved, Cael bumped into yet another girl, this one greeting him with a pair of sharp, vicious eyes.
Now, this wasn't fair. Despite his actions and words earlier, he had been doing rather well to maintain his composure! He knew better than anyone else that he wasn't the most friendliest of chaps around, but at least he hadn't actually swung a foot into the girl's stomach. That was what the chair was there for.
His face hardened when he felt bits of spit land on his face. "The fuck are you? A hick?" he retorted with an equal amount of sass. As she had done, he'd lean in closer himself, growling like the dog he was, apparently. "Jokes on you. I'm already having a bad day." He at least had the decency to keep his spit behind his lips.
"You actually know this girl?" he spoke, eyes looking back over to Nia. "I feel bad for you." He didn't want to imagine himself having to deal with an obnoxious, vulgar girl such as this one.
she hadn't even been in town for more than an hour and already a fight was beginning to brew. but she couln't help the slight twitch of her lips at noticing andrea defending her. the last thing that she would have expected was her guard dog coming to her rescue. perhaps she was underestimating her abilities to actually find her. nonetheless, nia felt a tad crossed at actually taunting him. she wasn't much of a fighter considering that it was useless to settle things with fists half the time. so she was planning on apologizing correctly instead of with a snide remark as usual until a certain someone interrupted. but things couldn't have turned out better.
she found herself ignoring most of the foul-mouthed remarks coming from andrea's mouth. mentally giving herself a reminder to wash the other woman's mouth out with soap when they were alone. she was the same as she had been when nia left. brash, brawn, and with little brains unless she actually decided they were necessary. she resisted the urge to wrap her arms around the woman's waist and press her face against her back while taking in her scent. did she still smell like rubbing alcohol and bandages from all of the fights that she used to get into? such a smell would be like home in itself.
shoving her feeling aside, she strode in between them at least to wedge them apart. casting a glance over her shoulder at the red-haired brute she gave him a fleeting smile.
"she's my girlfriend, i wouldn't have it any other way. although we're not acquainted well, this is andrea warren. andrea, this is most likely your kindred spirit. he's quite short tempered if you noticed that befallen chair. also. apologize for spitting on him."
the last sentence dribbled from her lips with a venomous twinge. the smile she wore saying what she refused to do herself.
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us
We will be victorious
Andrea was grinning rather cockily up 'till the point where Nia had instructed her to apologize to the man. She sputtered in an indignant matter, her gaze switching from the male and then to her past female companion. It was at that moment that she growled at Nia in challenge, crossing her arms as she proceeded to pointedly glare at the man.
"But, babe, I - "
She paused briefly, taking note of the tone of the shorter female's. The look in her eye was all too familiar as well, leaving Andrea slightly nervous. After shutting her mouth and considering her options carefully, she released a heavy sigh and managed a half-hearted apology.
"I'm sorry I kinda fucked up yer already fucked up face mister 'I'm a red-head, so I must be an absolute douchenozzle'."
Her tone quickly turned mocking as she smiled in his general direction, her eyes gleaming with mischief. Turning her attention toward Nia once more, Andrea's smile reflected a genuine show of warmth.
"So, why are you hangin' with this dude, anyways, babe?"
Her thumb was then thrust toward 'I'm a red-head, so I must be an absolute douchenozzle'.
nia couldn't help but sigh. at least it was a start. she knew how protective andrea's nature was and she couldn't blame her.after everything that they had gone through together, she formed a slight protectiveness over the other woman herself. but that was besides the point, right was right and wrong was wrong - even in the presence of such an annoying person. rolling her eyes with a little smile, she couldn't help but feel a pinch of irony in her tone. whenever andrea would run off somewhere and leave her alone, she'd often speak with the same warmth and affection asking where she had gone and when she would be back. to have it directed back at her was nothing short of a shock.
"i actually came to get my eevee. its been a while since i was here and i needed him back."
tossing an affectionate glance at the little pokeball, she tilted her head to the side with a playful smile.
"so what, you sniffed me out and came here?"
calling her a guard dog wasn't anything more than out of affection. but she had to admit how odd it was for her to be found even when the two hadn't been together for quite that long. shrugging her shoulders mentally, she reached up to tap where andrea's heart was.
"or maybe its because of this."
it was strange how even in a foreign place , in a town that she had long forgotten about - she was able to find peace in one person. but maybe it was nothing shorter than a miracle.

"Ya spoil me, babe."
Andrea reacted positively to the subtle praise, face brightening considerably as she was addressed by the pretty female. It reminded her of long ago, when she was still young and contiuously seeking out the smaller girl's approval.
"Eevee?"
It took the coordinator a moment to remember what sort of species of Pokemon that was. But when she did, she released a soft noise of recognition and snapped her fingers.
"Oh! An Eevee. I heard of 'em. Fluffy brown things. Popular with the breeder an' coordinator crowd, yeah. I saw 'em on tv plenty, babe. They're real hard to find, I heard."
Satisfied by Nia's fortune, the girl couldn't help but consider that such a small creature suited the petite trainer. Her soft features and outright loveliness matched an Eevee's delicate build and dainty attributes.
"Congrats, Nia. 'mm lookin' forward to seein' ya in battle," she continued, nodding her head. "I got a Froakie fer myself. And several more Pokemon on my team."
Proud of her own progress, she grinned and gestured to the capsules adjusted onto her belt.
"So, how have ya been lately? Gonna head out soon fer yer journey?"
Nia was the most level-headed of the three and would prove that as she slid in to separate the two bickering children. Cael needed it, and would take a few cautious steps back from the girls. Quite the pair, they were, even more so now that he was aware of their intimate relationship. Still, if it were Cael, he would find nothing attractive about a woman's abrasive nature.
Discomfort showed on his face when Andrea addressed with an unnecessarily long and lame nickname. And instead of fighting back with names of his own, Cael remained silent as the two girls exchanged one-on-one conversation. That was Cael's cue.
From what he could tell, the two had been distanced for some time, and if they were as close as they had stated, then it was best to let them catch up. At this point Cael realized he wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with these girls anyways and it didn't make him look good.
So he made no noise as the two talked, aside from the door slamming on his way out. However there was good news for Cael waiting out in the lobby area - eggs? And free? That was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
