 I'M CONSTANT LIKE THE SEASONS
I WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ― The big ass nose pokemon gave Derek's dragon a pretty good battle. Fran enjoyed watching the struggling. She was starting to pinpoint her companion's fighting style, as well as how he worked with his pokemon. She was always interested in how others trained; whether they were necessarily good or bad ways was not for her to judge. Different approaches worked for different teams, but the result was all the same. Derek, for instance, definitely took a more amicable approach to directing his pokemon. Yet they were winning battles all the same.
He was so enthusiastic. Fran could only stare while the star-haired young man leaped from their rocky perch, exclaiming satisfaction. Such a different person...
"I'm not really sure," she replied plainly as Derek sat back down. "Personally I've never challenged a gym either." She shrugged, and returned his gaze. Was he ready? What a strange question to ask. Surely the young man didn't hold her opinion so highly. "This is just my opinion," she began, holding Derek's brown eyes in her own emerald hues, "but if you're waitin' around until you feel a hundred percent ready, you'll never get it done."
She was sincere, as she always was. Fran would never tell someone something that she didn't truly believe. But she kept a casual and calm tone. After all, he didn't have to listen to her.
There was only a moment of quiet conversation before another pair of wild creatures dived into the field. One was just like another they had recently beat, the other a flying bat pokemon. The golbat immediately flew toward Detroit, baring its fangs and screaming a disgusting war cry. Surely it had no brain.
The golbat landed a quick POISON FANG on one of the onix's bouldering digits. Detroit only grumbled, allowing the beast to latch on. It would make it all the easier to counter. He lifted his head slightly, a crown of gray rocks forming atop his head. Before the golbat was doing no damage and was now in danger, it was too late. The ROCK TOMB dropped on top of the beast, forcing it to the ground. No struggle could be seen from the pile. It was a relatively quick fight.
Columbia began to coo for his teammate, moving across the field to show how impressive he found the attack. He failed to pay attention to the hostile rhyhorn..
"If challenging the gyms is your next step, you just gotta-" Fran began. She stopped suddenly, noticing her dopey beast putting himself in danger. "Columbia!" She called to him. The slowpoke moved his head in her direction, smiling. The wild beast was fast approaching... |

tl;dr capture attempt on rhyhorn |
The silver-haired trainer leaned back, eyes looking down to the ground as he contemplated the answer given. Fran's opinion meant a lot to Derek because they weren't exactly great friends. She didn't have anything riding on his morale; there was no reason to lie and keep his spirits high.
[break]
[break]
"You're right..." Derek stated, obviously so. It wasn't like she needed to be told that, the male was just coming to realize it was about damn time he step up to the plate. Only, before he could go much further with that line of thought another group of wild pokemon had decided to approach.
[break]
[break]
Dark eyes gazed up towards the Rhyhorn, which wasn't the pokemon Fran had begun to preoccupy. Noticing the clumsy Slowpoke walking out into the crossfire, Derek was quick to speak up to Kseniya in hopes of preventing Columbia from sustaining an amount of injury.
[break]
[break]
"Earth power!" The trainer exclaimed, bolting up from his seated position. It wasn't his pokemon, but it would still hurt to see their cute little face stomped on by the charging Rhyhorn. Luckily for them both, that wasn't what was going to happen...
[break]
[break]
The Earth Power that struck the Rhyhorn definitely hurt...but the raging pokemon did not appear to be very fazed. Only it's course had truly changed, and thus it rolled right through the earthen eruption with it's Bulldoze attack; plowing Kseniya straight into the ground. Even though she braced herself for the impact, it was difficult not to be overtaken by such a force.
[break]
[break]
Proving herself reluctant to be defeated just yet, the Gabite would weasel her way down underground with Dig. The Rhyhorn thrashed about angrily with no real target in sight, although it didn't take long for it to settle it's gaze on the two trainers sitting atop a split rock. It was fortunate that this was the moment Kseniya decided to arrive back on the surface, striking up at the Rhyhorn's vulnerable, unguarded underbelly as it began to shift the weight on it's feet in order to begin it's next charge.
[break]
[break]
Chosing a critical moment to hit her target, the Rhyhorn ultimately fell over on it's side, blacking out from the overwhelming amount of pain signals it's little rock brain was receiving. Kseniya put a foot up on the downed pokemon's head, huffing once before spitting down on it. "Geez, Kseniya! Have some decency, will ya?!" It really made it hard to imagine her taking on a gym challenge like this. What would the gym leader think of such an undisciplined pokemon? Surely nothing good. Oh well. Plucking a ball from the spares in his pocket, Derek dared to catch the feral Rhyhorn.
[break]
[break]
"What is Fran gonna do with you?" Derek questioned rhetorically, eyeing the little pink klutz with plausible admiration. Clapping his hands together lightly, the trainer hoped to garner the beast's attention in order to get it to come closer so he may hold and pet it.
[break]
[break]
In the meantime, Derek decided to try and pick up on the conversation where it had left off. "I suppose I just don't know which gym leader I want to challenge first to begin with. None of them seem like an obvious win. Well...maybe the new one. Troy...? Wait, no...ROY! Roy, that's the one. He's got some sort of game show thing going on." Brows pressing together as he pondered heavily, the trainer couldn't help but want to keep poking Fran with questions. It was beginning to seem like a bad habit...

I'M CONSTANT LIKE THE SEASONS
I WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ― They would have to invent a new word for such aggressive obliviousness. Children would use it to insult each other for years to come, teachers would have to beg their students to use a more respectful term, parents would wash their kids mouths out with soup for uttering such a phrase. Fran was angry, but her worry overshadowed the redness of her mood. She didn't want to see her slowpoke harmed in such a sneaky manner.
The beast was lucky he wasn't alone on the field. Derek called for his dragon to defend as they too noticed the danger Columbia was in. Fran moved quickly to return her slowpoke into its pokeball, only to freeze her retreat with sphere in hand.
This was mainly in part to Derek's aid. His gabite ceaselessly attacked the low-to-the-ground beast, smacking it with EARTH POWERS and DIGs. It was an admirable struggle, one that was beginning to display the resilience of dragons. The plain fact that Derek's pokemon wasn't already exhausted from its previous encounters was something to take note of. When the battle had concluded, Kseniya victorious unsurprisingly, the dragon spat on its defeated opponent. It kind of reminded Fran of Dallas, another rambunctious, battle-ready pokemon. Maybe they would get along. Or punch each other in the throat.
With danger out of the way, Columbia meandered his way back to his trainer, drawn to Derek's funny sounds. He smiled happily, cooing a tune of his own. Fran returned the dopey beast back into his pokeball. "Probably goin' to have to bury him if he keeps this up..." She trailed off, half joking.
As the star-haired trainer continued with their conversation, the sound of fluttering wings reached Fran's ears. She scanned the field with brevity and was able to single out a giant purple moth.
With his teammates otherwise predisposed, Detroit took it upon himself to handle the bug pokemon. The venmoth's eyes bled into a bluish hue, hurtling a strong kinetic force toward the onix. The PSYCHIC shook Detroit with pain, but he was able to bite through it. Fran's beast raised itself above the hovering moth, casting a long shadow across the rocks below. His head began to grow a crown of gray rocks which were quickly shed onto the venomoth's figure. The ROCK TOMB threw the hostile creature onto the ground. A bent wing was the only evidence the wild creature was crushed under the pile of boulders.
Fran watched carefully, taking quick snapshots of the battle. She needed to know how to improve her team. Still, she made sure not to ignore Derek's thoughts. "A game show?" She pondered aloud. "He must not take himself too seriously," Fran spoke, turning to catch Derek's eye.
Beyond them, Detroit grumbled sleepily. He lowered himself down, looking after his trainer. With a side-eye view, Fran figured it may be time to move along. "You might wanna get that horned thing to a center," she offered, gesturing vaguely to Derek's pokeball, She pushed herself off the rocky stump and crossed in front of her companion. "We've done some good training so I think I'll find Detroit a comfy spot to nap. I'll catch ya around Derek." As her bouldering partner slunk after her, she called one last goodbye to the young man: "Good luck with your first gym, tell me how it went next time I see ya!" |

tl;dr farewell fran xd |
"Yeah we did, didn't we?" Derek asked rhetorically, hardly able to notice all the time that had passed. It was hard to know when you were having fun, and even Kseniya could probably relate. Although after taking a closer look at his pokemon, Derek seemed to agree. It was time to leave. And Fran was right, the Rhyhorn probably needed some medical attention.
[break]
[break]
"Alright, I'll catch you later then. And hopefully I'll have a badge to show for it." Derek said as he began to gather his pokemon, preparing to leave. After a quick wave over his shoulder, the trainer's feet would carry him back into Fusube city. Maybe he'd pay his parents another visit while he waited on his pokemon to be healed? He could certainly bum a meal off of them, and perhaps wash some of his clothes properly...
