        Chapter: 1/9 
        Summary: Robin just moved to Paldea, and she's already sick of everyone. She just wants to queen out with her lovely Munna and forget everything else. But Nemona is far too chatty, Team Star is far too ridiculous and Cassiopeia has her under her thumb, and those d@mn Titans are far too huge.She doesn't mind Arven though. Though he wasn't her first 'friend' in this new region, maybe he'll end up being the one she likes the best. Maybe, he'll be just the friend she needs to turn her life around. (Robin is filling the role of the player character. she just so happens to bring in some illegal Pokemon. where does she summon a Staryu from? don't worry about it ^_^)

    Robin had just about sprained her jaw from all the fake smiling she'd had to do to pacify Nemona. If there was one thing worse than an eleven-hour plane ride, it was an eleven-hour school orientation. Rather, that's how long it felt like Nemona was taking, herding Robin around like a group of Wooloo for what felt like an eternity, but was in truth, about twenty minutes."You sure you don't want a starter Pokemon? I know it seems daunting to take care of multiple Pokemon, but the more, the merrier!" Nemona chirped with a bright smile on her face as she ran uphill like she wasn't constrained by gravity or friction."Nah. I don't want it to get hurt. Munna can get kind of possessive." Robin replied, patting the floating Dream Eater as it hovered under her chin. "One time back home, I was rudely accosted by someone else's friendly Herdier, and she almost hit it with a point-blank Moonblast, she was so jealous.""Whoa! That's insane!" Nemona gushed completely earnestly, making Robin have to disguise a wince as a smile. "It just means she really, really loves you!""Well, yes!" Robin said blankly, trying and failing to keep her sarcasm unnoticeable. She and Munna were born on the same day, with Munna hatching in a cot directly next to her own, and they'd been inseparable ever since. For Nemona to tell her that Munna loved her like it was new information was ridiculous. She was well aware."Agias!!"Robin's eyes immediately flicked to the sky, thinking she was dealing with some kind of Bug-type landing on her head, but her Munna had wandered toward the cliffside, and was peering over the edge."What the heck was that?!" Nemona cried, all stanced up like she was ready to fistfight a ghost.Robin rolled her eyes. "I imagine if we look over this cliff, we may find out!" She cried sardonically, peering over the cliffside herself.There, laying on a little ledge several feet below, laid a weird, purple, shiny lengthy reptile, crying out for anyone to hear."The hell is that?" Robin murmured in disbelief, kneeling down to take a closer look. But the rocks crumbled under her feet, and she lost her balance and tumbled forward off the cliff. She closed her eyes and braced for impact...But she never hit the ground. Instead, she was suspended in midair, and she faintly heard her Munna grunting as she struggled to hold Robin's weight with her telekinetic power. She did let go after a while, but Robin only fell about two feet, which didn't even hurt."Whoa! That was close!" Nemona cried from above. "Hang on, I'll try to find a way up!""What a great omen for the future, falling off a f@ck@ng cliff..." Robin grumbled as she dusted herself off, and took a closer look at the mysterious draconic being in front of her. It looked vaguely mechanical now that she was getting a closer look at it."Hello, ma'am. Are you lost?" She asked politely, only recoiling a little when the dragon sat up a little. It didn't look aggressive, just a little wary of her. She could work with that. She preferred shy Pokemon to overly friendly ones anyway. Big dumb Stoutlands back home always made her nervous.Munna landed on her shoulder, curiously staring at the dragon, who seemed to have a Politoed-like pouch on its neck. It seemed kind of cumbersome, like the Cyclizar she'd read about. Their Adam's apples must be huge."Agias..." The dragon chirped sadly, sniffing at Robin's bag."You're hungry? Wow. I fell off a cliff and the first thing you do is ask for food? Fatty." Robin teased, digging in her bag. "You're probably smelling the sandwich, huh?"The dragon perked up a little bit, trying to extend its neck all the way to Robin's bag, but coming up quite a bit short.Robin shrugged. "You know what, I'm gonna be a good samaritan, I'll be Miss Congeniality. Have it." She said blandly, tossing the sandwich in its wrapper at the dragon, who greedily munched it down. Munna crossed her little nubs in disapproval, but she didn't have much of a say in the matter.The dragon instantly perked up, floating up in the air and coiling its body up with a flourish of electricity. It seemed like a rehearsed routine, like its owner wanted to put it in a Pokemon Contest. It finally came back down to earth, kneeling in front of Robin."Oh! Are we riding?" Robin asked, to which the creature responded with a resounding "Agias!!"."What the hell, sure!" She laughed, climbing on the creature's back with Munna riding just in front of her. The creature slowly hovered over the ground, roughly the speed of a particularly avid Roomba. She didn't particularly want to get off and run any faster, however, given all the Houndour that were milling about in the cave. She didn't like the canine Pokemon, and they didn't like the creature, so she stuck with the creature.In a few minutes, Robin and Munna emerged from the cave no worse for wear, with a lovely little mechanical dragon thing in tow. It cried out again, ("Agias!")  when they disembarked, as if to say 'you're welcome'.Nemona rushed over to them, as if they'd just emerged from an active warzone. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?! Are you hurt?!""I'm good. Munna caught me. And this thing taxi'd me through the cave." Robin explained, patting the creature like the hood of a used car. "It's very nice.""Does it battle?" Nemona asked, and Robin had to suppress a sigh. That was all she freakin' talked about, battling. She wasn't one of those people who wanted to talk only about the socioeconomic climate of Alola and the antidisestablishmentarianism movement of Galar, but Arceus, couldn't they talk about a TV show? Roxie's new music, wherein she reheats her own nachos for a fourth time? Couldn't they discuss how absolutely snatched Robin's mug was, or how gorgeous her hair was, or how charming and funny she was? So rude."You know, it seems like a pacifist. But all the Houndour were quaking in their paws." Robin remarked. "I bet it could, it just doesn't want to.""Boo!" Nemona cried. "Battling's so much fun! Why wouldn't you want to?""Hey!" Some backlit rectangle with legs from up the hill shouted suddenly, cutting off Nemona's incoming rant about the many virtues of battling and saving the creature a little embarrassment. "What are you doing down here?!""I'm just standing here!" Robin shouted back as the rectangle with legs trotted down the hill, revealing itself to be a boy with weird brown and blond hair carrying a f@ckton of hiking gear on his back."I'm not talking to you!" The boy snapped as he caught up to them. "I'm talking to this thing!""Whoa! Aren't you Arven? You know, the son of the famous Professor Turo?" Nemona gushed. "I know you! You're enrolled in the humanities track!""I don't know if you heard, but I'm talking to Miraidon. You two can shove off." Arven said snootily, causing to Robin raise her eyebrows. What nerve this little man had. "What did I tell you about wandering off?!"The mysterious beast ducked its head sheepishly, and made a somewhat sad sounding blend of cacophonous mechanical noises. As for why it always said "Agias!" while doing so, Robin wasn't sure. Agias was a really silly name for a Pokemon."Hey! No puppy-dog eyes! They don't work on me!" Arven yelled, recalling the Pokemon to its Poke Ball. "Arceus, so annoying.""I've read about your father! He discovered the Terastal phenomenon-" Nemona started on one of her excessively long tirades, but Arven heroically cut her off."Doesn't matter who my dad is!" He blurted out angrily. "The real issue here is what in the world this Pokemon is doing out here! And what is with this form it's in?!"Robin rolled her eyes. "F@ck if I know.""See, we heard this strange cry, and we tried to investigate, but Robin fell off a cliff..." Nemona explained at a mile a minute. "That Pokémon saved her, but it seems like it wore itself out in the process. It got kinda... slumpy afterward. But you shoulda seen it before! It looked totally different—it was unbelievably strong!""Well, yeah. It's supposed to be strong. But not like this, it's not." Arven grumbled, staring at the Pokemon through the Poke Ball. "You saw Miraidon's battle form. That's its true form.""She was kinda sickening like that. Like, the electricity winding around her body like a boa? Kinda ate." Robin interjected, hoping to amuse Arven a little so he wouldn't wring Nemona's neck if she went on a monologue again. It did not land."Sure." Arven said blankly, clearly not truly understanding a word that left Robin's lips. "Well, you wanna take it off my hands if you think it's so pretty?" He asked Robin, holding out his hand.Robin thought about it for a second, then shrugged. "I don't think Munna can seriously hurt it, so I guess. It's very convenient to ride. I think she can be useful.""Ah-ah! You've gotta prove you can handle it first." Arven said with a hint of a boyish smirk. "Battle me. I'll test your worthiness."Robin rolled her eyes as Nemona began excitedly bouncing in place. "Fine." At that, Arven took a few paces back, and flashed a second Poke Ball, whereas Robin's Munna simply floated out from inside Robin's pile of teased brown hair. Arven tossed out his Skwovet, and with that, the battle was on.The battle was over almost as soon as it started. Robin's Munna was vastly more experienced and stronger with age than the Skwovet, leading to an easy victory for Robin. He only got one Bite in before Munna slammed him with a full strength Moonblast. She wasn't sure if Skwovet was a Dark-type or not, so she played it safe.Arven sighed. "Well, shucks. I guess I wasn't ever gonna win with some Pokemon I'd just caught..."Robin shrugged. "Guess not. My Munna's as old as I am.""Huh. That's kinda cute." Arven said off-handedly, causing Robin to raise one eyebrow. "Well, here." He tossed Koraidon's Poke Ball at Robin, which she caught pretty easily. "Good luck with it. Don't fall off another cliff." And with that, he turned sharply back around, toward the lighthouse."Honestly, he's so weird." Nemona remarked, tapping her foot on the ground. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter! Come on! Let's go to Mesagoza!""Hooray...!" Robin weakly cheered, trying to match Nemona's energy and failing spectacularly. It was gonna be a long journey to the Academy with Nemona in her ear all day long.Several many hours of mind-numbing orientation lectures later, Robin managed to survive long enough to make it to lunch. She collected some kind of dubious looking paella, and sat at the end of a table on her own.Then, Arven slid into the seat in front of her. "Heya!" He said cheerfully, his chipper tone taking Robin aback."Hi." Robin said dully. "Aren't you chipper.""Yeah, sorry about earlier. It wasn't the first time Miraidon escaped, and-""And you hate Nemona's guts..." Robin finished for him, a wry smile tugging at the corners of her mouth."I don't hate her! She's just..." Arven trailed off, motioning at Robin to finish his sentence again."Exhausting.""That's the word!" Arven said brightly. "Yeah, I just wasn't in the best mood. But now I'm excited because of the Treasure Hunt!""Oh, good for you. I have no f@ck@ng clue what I'm gonna do." Robin said blithely, moving some kernels of rice around on her plate. "I could take on the Gyms. I only managed to beat one back home.""Oh, where are you from?" Arven asked, his cerulean eyes lighting up with intrigue."Unova. I'm from Lacunosa Town, but the gyms near there are crazy tough, so I only managed to beat the one in Virbank." Robin explained, petting her Munna as she reminisced on her life back home. "I had a bit of a type advantage, you see. It's a Poison-type Gym.""Oh, I've always wanted to go to Unova..." Arven mused, tapping his chin with his finger. "They used to have a Gym that was also a restaurant, right?""Yeah. I've never been. I don't know what happened to it, really. Guess the triplets decided to give it up." Robin shrugged. "My aunt says the triplets were really shaken because they were no use against Team Plasma. Maybe they quit because they were ashamed.""Aw..." Arven hummed. "Well, I'm sure Nemona would be psyched to hear that you want to beat the Gyms.""Oh my God, I can't. I'll find another treasure." Robin groaned, running her hands through her scalp. "Got any suggestions?""I am so glad you asked!" Arven said cheerily like he was trying to sell her Flex Tape. He rummaged through one of his many bags, and finally came back with an aged notebook with a purple velvet cover. He flipped it open to one of many bookmarks, and slid it over for Robin to read."The Herba Mystica!" He announced with a toothy grin. "There's five of 'em. They're super rare, and they're each guarded by a Titan. It makes them all super big and strong. So, I'm gonna try and collect a little bit of all of them. I think that counts as treasure, don't you?""Oh, absolutely. I'd love to just toss one of these in some marinara sauce." Robin said teasingly, studying the book intently. "D@mn, you're really gonna have to hike for 'em. They're all over the region. And Paldea's huge.""I know. But that's why we have so much time! And I have so much stuff." Arven explained, proudly patting his pack. "Now, here's the catch: I really, really suck at Pokemon battles."Robin frowned. "You weren't horrible.""You're very kind. I am awful." Arven insisted. "So I'm gonna need a little help. And you seem like you can give these Titans the business.""Maybe not Bombirdier, I think that's a Dark-type." Robin noted."Well, catch a Pawmi." Arven suggested. "The point is, I would like you to help me with this. You don't have to say yes! But... I would reaaaally appreciate it. And it might fill some time before you figure out what you really wanna do."Robin thought about it for about three seconds, then shrugged. "What the hell, sure.""Great!" Arven cheered, clapping his hands excitedly. "Hang on, lemme register myself in your Rotom Phone, so we can talk." He brought out his Rotom Phone, which tapped antenna with Robin's, automatically adding his information into Robin's contacts."Smooth." Robin noted cheekily.Arven rolled his eyes. "Grow up. I'm just trying to coordinate here.""Mhm." She hummed with a smirk. "Well, I think I'm gonna head out. This paella looks radioactive.""Yeah, I've never cared for it." Arven agreed. "See you later... I don't even know your name. That's crazy. I should remember your name""I never told you, I don't think." Robin shrugged. "My name's Robin.""Arven.""Well, I knew yours." Robin said with a wink, finally embarking on her treasure hunt. Surely, she was actually gonna be free to go now.She was not free to go. After another seventeen years of chit-chatting with Nemona, she was ready to leave. She stepped out of the school's main entrance, and immediately spotted two short little preteens accosting a blue-haired b@tch with pronouns. She decided to be a nice person, and intervene on their behalf."Hi, guys! What's going on?" She said cheerily through gritted teeth."We're recruiting her to join Team Star! You should join too!" The girl cried, striking a corny pose outlining a star with her hands with her male counterpart joining her."And what do y'all do? Dumb poses like that?" Robin said with a cruel snicker. "Look at my sis over here. She's shaking in her Uggs, mama. You're not gonna get her to join you." She warned them, gesturing to the shaking girl, who seemed to be trying to disappear into her grey sweater."Listen, we need members! They're trying to shut us down because we won't go to school!" The boy protested in a high-pitched voice that truly sounded like it hurt him to produce. He probably didn't want to let it drop."I don't care. She don't care. Just f@ck off and leave her alone." Robin said, already summoning Munna out of her Poke Ball."Ha! I'd like to see you try to beat us!" The girl cried as she released her Shroodle. The boy hastily followed with his Toxel, and already, Robin knew they weren't gonna last very long.As predicted, she beat them handily, causing them to run away in shame, though not before striking that stupid star pose again with a resounding "Hasta la vi-star!" Robin vaguely recognized the quote from an episode of Drag Race.The girl behind her began to stutter. "Th-Thank you!" She cried, before running in the exact opposite direction of the Star Grunts. Robin thought it was kind of odd, but she didn't expect impressive social skills from a girl who didn't have the b@lls to tell some annoying club promoters to f@ck off.What kind of club was Team Star if their primary activity was sh@tty vogueing and skipping school? Were they running the Jorgeous Academy? As far as nefarious groups with that naming scheme went, she wasn't particularly threatened by some annoying preteens. Team Plasma had tried to kill her aunt, frozen an entire city and enslaved two whole dragons. These kids were small potatoes compared to what went on in her home region.
  Ro-to-to-to-to...! Ro-to-to-to-to...!
Robin groaned, expecting a text from her mom, but her phone was ringing with a call from a blocked number. She accepted the call, and was greeted with a deep voice-changer blaring in her ear with a thick Galarian accent. "Robin Ambrose. Pretty name.""Who dat?" Robin asked."That's you, isn't it? Robin Ambrose, new transfer from Castelia Academy? You're the only student in all of Uva Academy with a Munna registered to her name." The voice said almost absent-mindedly. "I have an offer for you.""No." Robin said bluntly, and hung up.Her phone rang again, and somehow answered itself. "What do you mean, no?! I haven't even asked yet!""Well, I've watched Screams 1 through 6. I'm not f@ck@ng with a blocked number and a voice changer." She remarked, ready to hang up again, but her phone flew out of her hands before she could click the button."Just listen to me, okay?! I need help. And you seem like the perfect candidate for Operation Starfall. Your Munna is Level 48, and you've only just got here! You're just the person I've been looking for!" The voice cried, the voice-changer cracking and revealing a more feminine voice. "I see you've just met Team Star for the first time. I'm thinking you and I can take them down together. Are you interested now?""Not really." Robin admitted. "You've got about thirty seconds before I hang up and send you anthrax by text.""Come on. Team Star's a headache for everyone involved with them. They're a group of delinquents who're trying to drag everyone else down to their level by force. And as someone who recently switched schools due to bullying, I'd think you, more than anyone, would be motivated to take down an organized group of bullies." The voice said, and Robin's blood ran cold."What kind of information is in my f@ck@ng file?!" Robin shouted at her phone. "I don't know what kind of Pretty Little Liars b@llsh@t you're on, but you'd better tread carefully if you want my help, Miss Whatever-Your-Name-Is."
  "Call me Cassiopeia. And that part isn't in your file. It's in your text messages. I'm kind of in control of your entire phone right now."
"So, what? You'll release my nudes if I don't do what you say? Girl, f@ck you.""Hm. Funny, I don't see any nudes. But I think I'm looking at... why you were bullied. So... How's this? You help me... And I keep my mouth shut. Deal?" Cassiopeia threatened, and as much as Robin wanted to baseball pitch her phone into the ground and find whoever this Cassiopeia b@tch was and kill her with hammers..."F@ck you." She said in lieu of an agreement, and hung up on her once and for all. She breathed the heaviest sigh of her life, though she still felt like she needed to release approximately eight gallons of air worth of tension.But, she had to look on the bright side. Now that she was done fighting some weird wannabe tough guys with star-shaped sunglasses and talking with that evil, nasty c@nt on her Rotom Phone, Robin was ready to set out for adventure. Her goal?Who the fuck knows!Her first thought was to maybe catch a friend for Munna, a kindred spirit, a fellow Psychic-type, but she didn't know where she'd find one. She saw a few Ralts outside Mezagosa, so maybe she'd start there.Robin's Rotom Phone buzzed, and flew out in front of her."Hi honey ! Hows school so far?" Her mom had texted her, followed by a string of heart emojis.Robin texted back, "they yapped for like 18 hours straight. other than that it's ok".Within a minute of waiting, Robin's mom had texted again. "So glad to hear it !!" "Have you made any friends yet? That Nemona girl seemed nice but I can tell shes not your speed" She wrote, making Robin chuckle at just how well she could read her. Robin was exhausted by just thirty seconds of speaking with Nemona."i've met a few ppl" "seems a little early to call em friends no?" Robin wrote back, to which her mom marked the last text with a frowny face reaction."Well with that attitude, yes !!!" Her mom fired back, causing Robin to send a sticker of her Munna staring into the camera from just a little too close to the lens."Please try. For me" Her mom texted, suddenly getting very, very serious. "I dont wanna have to pull you out of another school." "I'll do it if I have to but I dont want you to have to leave again""omg fine" "so demanding......" She texted back, finally closing her phone as her mom texted one last time, to which Robin could tell said 'thank you'. She really hated texting, but she had to expect her mom to be texting her often. This would be the first time she wouldn't see Robin for an extended period of time. They'd done a weekend every two weeks, but indefinitely? That was a whole different story. She'd have to remember to make it home at some point. Her mom was surely a little bit lonely. And it was her fault they had to move, since she got accepted at Uva Academy, which her mom thought was too good an opportunity to pass up. So now they were both in the same boat, of being the new kid on the block.Well, her mom had always been better at socializing than she was. She inherited her social skills from her shut-in scientist father, seemingly. So she'd be fine. It was Robin who had an uphill battle ahead of her. But things were looking good for her. People were approaching her like she was just like any other girl. She was up 15-love. She just had to not fumble on the 1-yard line.She didn't know anything about sports.She did indeed add a Ralts to the lineup, the Mild-natured girl sitting placidly next to Robin on the bench in the heart of Cortondo, delicately eating a Poke Puff. Munna was wary of her at first, but Ralts won her over pretty quickly by being so innocent and kind, even the SassMaster 5000 couldn't be angry at her.It only took her about two days to find and beat the Bug-type Gym, with Katy giving her a little trouble thanks to her type-advantage, but Munna still obliterated her Teddiursa with ease. She was munching on a delectable brownie when she got a text on her Rotom Phone. She was expecting it to be her mother, but lo and behold, Arven's name was on the screen as the Rotom Phone flew out in front of her face."heyyyy!!!! i'm in Artazon right now! you think we could take on the Stony Cliff Titan pretty soon?" He had texted, sending a lone smiley face after the text, probably to come off more friendly and less demanding.Robin sighed, and texted back right away. She'd already done her 'thing' for the day, beating Katy, but now Arven was making her complete more than one task in a day. How dare he? "I'm in Cortondo... i might be a while but i'll come........" She texted, the many ellipses added to make herself seem more mysterious and chic."oh! you might need to take a day to make it over..." Arven texted back. "I guess i'll just hang tight until tomorrow?""I have a bicycle dragon. i'll be there in an hour and a half." Robin texted, already releasing Miraidon from its Poke Ball. "I don't even know where Artazon is. I think they're just making cities up now." She remarked, climbing onto the dragon's back and beckoning for Ralts and Munna to do the same. The two of them insisted on sharing the space in front of Robin, with Munna huffing in displeasure at having to share.Miraidon zoomed out of town, startling poor Ralts with its speed. She had to hold onto Robin for safety. So, naturally, Munna did the same."Good God." Robin remarked, mildly amused yet exasperated. "Well, the map says Artazon is east of Mesagoza, so I guess let's just head northeast for a while." She steered Miraidon a little, aligning its trajectory with her phone's compass.It took about eighty minutes to make it to Artazon, so when she pulled up in front of the Pokemon Centre, she didn't see Arven anywhere. So she texted him "where u at", having to resist the normal temptation to add 'hoe' to the end of her sentence. She didn't think he'd really appreciate it. Probably not homosexual enough to take being called a hoe as a compliment.He did send an interesting amount of 'y's when he said 'hey', though..."Hey!" Arven called from behind her, startling her just a bit. "You're ten minutes early!""Sue me." Robin quipped, returning Miraidon to its Ball. "You know, I beat a Gym today. You're working my-eee out!" She said awkwardly, recalibrating her sentence after it occurred to her that the phrase 'working my p@ssy out' is appropriate for a rather small target audience Arven was not a part of. "I'm gonna need a very lengthy nap after this.""Well, maybe the Herba Mystica will put some pep in your step." Arven remarked. "The book says the Titan's likely clinging onto the mountainside. You wanna go find it right away?""Sure. My Pokemon are healthy." Robin agreed, shrugging her shoulders. "Well, you lead the way.""Alright!" Arven said chipperly, pointing the way toward the mountainside and leading the charge to find the Titan. "By the way, why aren't you wearing your uniform?" He asked, looking her up and down. He didn't check her out for too long, but his gaze did linger on her high heeled shoes a little as they clacked along the rocky path."I hate it." Robin said bluntly, waving her long bell sleeves around. "I'll wear it when I'm actually on the campus, but I refuse to be seen in it anywhere else.""I don't think it's that bad." Arven remarked, looking down at his outfit. He didn't see anything wrong with a yellow puffer vest and purple cargo pants. He didn't see anything wrong with CARGO PANTS. This man was either the straightest boy with long hair ever invented, or a moron.Robin scoffed. "Well, you're a man. You'll wear anything." She remarked blithely, waving him off. "I'm a lady. I do not wear cargo pants.""But they're so convenient! Look at all the things I can hold! Pockets up the wazoo!" Arven protested. "Don't girls have, like, zero pockets? You should love cargo pants!""See, cargo pants are incredibly functional, incredibly comfortable and incredibly ugly. Do you think of me as a girl who wears ugly things?" Robin asked pointedly, raising her eyebrows and narrowing her eyes just to make Arven squirm a little. "Do you think ugly things suit me? Is 'ugly' a word that comes to mind when you look at me?"Arven's eyes widened. "Uhhhh..." He said as a blush spread over his face, clearly lost for words."How very dare you." Robin huffed playfully, turning her nose up at him. "I'll have you know I am the current reigning Miss Lacunosa World. And when I won, I didn't just twirl a baton, that baton was on fire! And that, Arven- so you will know- and your children will someday know- was the night the lights went out in Lacunosa!" She ranted, delivering her lines with incredible gusto.Arven's eyes were wide, and he looked at her like she was covered in blood and laughing maniacally. "Are you serious? You won a beauty pageant with a flaming baton?""No, of course not. There's no such pageant!" Robin laughed, breaking her Sugarbaker character immediately. "I can twirl a baton, though. I've never twirled a flaming one, though... Also, how dare you! Is it so infeasible that I could win a beauty pageant?" She demanded, crossing her arms in mock anger, though the goofy angry expression she wore should have given away how funny she thought the whole thing was."N-No! No, of course not! I-I mean, I-I bet you could! N-Not that I think that you're pretty- Not that I think you're not-" Arven sputtered, each sentence he started digging his grave just a little deeper, much to Robin's amusement. "I-I just didn't think you'd be into pageants, that's all! You're not, like, blonde and tan! W-Well, you're kind of tan, but not really, and you're not that blonde! It's light brown!"Robin burst into tiny, high-pitched giggles, that eventually boiled over into a full-fledged laugh. "Sh-Shall we strike some of that from the record, my friend?""All of it, strike all of it. Forget I said anything." Arven groaned, hiding his rapidly reddening face in his hands. "That was a devious f@ck@ng question, you know! How was I supposed to get away from that one without looking stupid?!""You say 'Yes, you're hideous' and keep it pushing!" Robin cried, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. "Oh, man, you crack me up...""Shut up!" Arven squealed, turning away from her, doing everything he can to hide his blushing face. "I-I mean, you know you're pretty! You don't need me to say it, it's an objective fact!""Aw, thanks! It's all smoke and mirrors. These brows are straight up eyeliner." Robin admitted, pointing to her pencil thin brows. "You don't wanna see me without my makeup. I look like a hairless Diglett.""Oh, I'm sure. That bone structure just goes away." Arven grumbled. "I don't know why you've gotta be so modest about it. Makes the rest of us feel like f@ck@n' gargoyles.""I dunno. It feels kind of arrogant to just accept a compliment like that." Robin noted evenly. "Besides, beauty is subjective. You think you're a gargoyle, I think you're pretty, it balances out. And you're not wearing makeup, so the odds are you've got the better bone structure."Arven's eyes widened, and his blush returned in full force like he'd just been turned back on like a lightswitch. "O-Oh my God, shut up...""Now who's being modest? Gargoyle, my ass." Robin teased. "Oh, look! A giant crab on the side of a cliff. Looks kinda goofy.""Where?!" Arven cried, surely incredibly grateful for the change of topic.Robin pointed at the giant Klawf clinging to the side of the cliff, and promptly began the trek up the hill. "Well, don't you wanna get that Herba Mystica? Come on!" She asked, aggressively beckoning Arven forth."Coming, coming!" Arven cried as they hurried up the cliffside.They made it to a spot on the mountainside directly under the Klawf, who then decided to jump off the wall, crying out in a booming voice and brandishing its claws, which were far too big for Robin to want to approach it with a ten-foot pole. Arven sent out a Shellder, who happily clacked its shell around at the opportunity to battle. Meanwhile, Munna simply floated forward a little, looking a little bored."Shellder, Water Gun!" Arven cried out excitedly. Shellder prepared itself to eject some water, drawing in water vapour that coalesced in front of its mouth."Eh, let's h@t 'em with Psychic. Why not?" Robin said offhandedly, and Munna quickly obeyed, slamming the Titan with a strong telekinetic force.The Klawf flew backward like it had been flicked by God's hand itself, crashing into the side of the mountain with a resounding crack."Oh!" Robin yelped as the Klawf fainted immediately, the impact of its body hitting the ground causing the entrance to a cave to reveal itself in a minor avalanche of rocks. "That's it?!"Munna crossed her nubs as best she could, looking very proud of itself."Whoa! We did it!" Arven whooped, holding his hand up for a high-five. "And high-five Munna! The MVP of the team!" He said cheerfully, holding his hand up in front of the Pokemon, who lightly batted it with her teeny little nub."I wonder how much longer Munna's age is gonna give her a leg up on everyone..." Robin mused. "She's gotta be incredibly overlevelled.""Well, I hope she can oneshot Bombirdier. Otherwise we're gonna be sh@t out of luck!" Arven said with a sarcastic thumbs-up as he recalled the poor Shellder, who was a little disappointed it didn't get to battle. "Come on! Let's go get the Herba Mystica!" He then scurried into the cave, disappearing into the inky darkness.Robin lackadaisically walked past the unconscious Klawf, still pondering just how ludicrously overpowered her pet was. "I mean, maybe her pedigree helps some too. Her mother belongs to an Elite Four member. So that might have something to do with it... I dunno, she's probably just sixteen years old. Life hack: Hatch your starters early."Arven had already procured a sample of the Herba Mystica, and was fanning its aroma towards his face. "Ooh! It smells like a strawberry mixed with vanilla! I know just the recipe!" He exclaimed. He then began setting up his cooking equipment, unzipping several many of his packs he carried everywhere. "Do kindly wait for a while. I'll make us some delicious sandwiches!"Robin shrugged. "What the hell, sure. I didn't eat breakfast."Arven clicked his tongue in disapproval. "Please note my disappointment.""Duly noted." Robin said with a wry smile, delicately sitting down on a particularly flat rock. "I'll just be here, playing with my Ralts..."Arven's eyes lit up. "Oh, you have a new Pokemon?!" He cried, rushing over to see it as Robin released her from her Poke Ball. "Aw, so cute! You planning on Gallade or Gardevoir?""Well, she's a lovely lady, so the decision's been made for me." Robin remarked, holding Ralts' hand as she curiously tilted her head at Arven, trying to check his vibe.She clearly approved of Arven's vibe, as she floated over and started pawing at his pant leg."Aww, she likes you!" Robin cooed, picking Ralts up and raising her up to Arven's shoulder. "She loves to hang out on my shoulder. And with Munna liking to hang out in my hair sometimes, it's like I got a whole defense squad up in there.""She'll probably get too big for that pretty soon." Arven remarked as Ralts stepped onto his shoulder. "Oh, aren't you so nice! Is she much of a battler?""No, Ralts are rather famously weak. I've been sending her out alongside Munna, and just letting Munna do the work, so Ralts can get some experience." Robin explained, patting Ralts' bowl cut. "It's gonna evolve into Kirlia pretty soon, who is still not that strong. Level 30 cannot get here soon enough.""Aw. I'm sure it'll be worth it." He assured her, delicately placing Ralts on Robin's shoulder so he could get back to work."I think it will be. Diantha's ace is a Gardevoir." Robin remarked. "Hey, do you have any Pokemon you've had for a long time? I could kinda tell Shellder was new."Arven paused for a second, his hands shaking a little, but he got himself together and kept working. "U-Uh, nah. No, I'm pretty new to having my own Pokemon. My dad had Pokemon, not me." He said quickly, tripping over his words a little. He was lying, clearly. Even a child could have clocked him. The real question was why he was lying. It seemed like a silly thing to lie about. But she didn't push it. It didn't seem like much of her business anyway. Even if it was truly strange. She could brag about her lovely Munna for a full month if left uninterrupted. Why is Arven keeping his a secret?"Hm. Guess you must have played with your dad's Pokemon, yeah?" Robin said, delicately shifting the subject just enough so that Arven didn't know she was onto him, and he didn't have to skirt around his secret any longer.Arven chuckled bitterly. "Nah. They were all like Miraidon. Big and scary machine-looking Pokemon, and much, much meaner than it is. He didn't let me near 'em.""Yeesh. Sounds like my little Miraidon could fry me into a skeleton and some delectable, crispy bacon." Robin joked, trying to cut the tension. "Speaking of bacon, is that going on the sandwich?""Of course. I'm serving a BLT a la Herba Mystica. It's gonna be a little sweeter than usual, 'cause... Well. You know." He trailed off awkwardly. "The Herba Mystica.""Yes, I got there." Robin teased. "Very excited."Arven smiled a little, and started fully focusing on his sandwich making. Robin always hated these dead spaces when she hung out with a friend. It felt like she was failing a test of some sort, even though she knew no one was keeping score. Like she was failing to keep Arven entertained. She didn't like the feeling of someone getting bored of her."Alright! Let's dig in!" Arven exclaimed after a while, brandishing two big subs. "I'm not hungry, so I'll eat mine later."Robin shrugged, grabbing her sub. "You did all that for me, so kind..." She remarked with a wry smile, causing Arven to smile a little and shake his head, clearly reaching his limit for flattery."AGIAS!!" Miraidon exclaimed, bursting out of its Poke Ball and kneeling under Robin's hand."Get your own." Robin said simply, moving to take a bite of it. "Oh, I guess there isn't any more. Arven, do you believe in kindness to Pokemon?""It's not for you, you silly goose!" Arven exclaimed. "Go back in your ball, you big bother.""Agias...!" Miraidon whined pathetically, begging on its haunches for the sandwich."Arvie... It's begging very nicely... Give me the strength to resist its cuteness...""It's not that cute." Arven said bluntly. "Also, did you just call me Arvie?""Yeah, I guess I did. Do you hate it?" Robin asked, though her full attention remained on the whining Miraidon, who started licking at her elbow.Arven shrugged. "It's a little cutesy. I've never had a nickname before. Aren't they supposed to be, like, cool or something?""What, you want me to call you Dark Lord A.R.V.? Your gamertag or whatever? Please." Robin scoffed. "All my b@tch@s get cute nicknames.""'All your b@tch@s', what...?" Arven muttered, mildly flabbergasted, though with Robin around, this was par for the course."Yes, all my b@tch@s! What, you don't think I could get b@tch@s?" Robin asked innocently, batting her eyelashes. "So cruel...""I- Wha- Wait, are you gay?" Arven asked, his eyes wide open in surprise."Oh, not anymore.""...What?""Yeah, it was a long time ago." Robin started to explain, waving her hand around a little. "I grew out of-"And Miraidon then just chomped on the sandwich, straight out of her hand. Robin squealed and dropped the sandwich on reflex, leaving Miraidon to devour the rest of it from the floor."B@tch stole my food!" Robin cried somewhat facetiously. "This wh@r@ just snatched the sh@t straight out of my hands!""Bad Miraidon!" Arven scolded the dragon, who shyed away behind Robin. "We don't take things that don't belong for us!"But then Miraidon began to glow a soft yellow like an aged lamp, and it happily tapped its feet on the ground as if celebrating something."Oh? Is Miraidon evolving or something? Why is it glowing?" Robin asked, patting Miraidon's head to check its temperature, yet it came back completely normal: Metallic and warm, like the average PC. "Is it ready to unleash a Wario Waft, what's going on?""I don't know, but... It's going away now, so I guess it's harmless??" Arven said weakly, grasping at straws. "I don't f@ck@n' know, it probably just reacted to the Herba Mystica. Maybe it has some super secret new power.""Hm. Maybe I should be feeding it the sandwiches." Robin remarked. "Well, that's unfortunate for me. I'm sure your sandwich was delicious, but unfortunately I will never find out..."Arven rolled his eyes. "I guess... we can go halfsies.""Oh!" Robin exclaimed. "I-I wasn't, like, subliminally asking-""It's okay, I'm happy to share." Arven assured her, already taking his giant bread knife and sawing the sandwich in half. "Don't worry about it.""Aww, Arvie! You're too kind!" Robin said with a wide smile, patting him on the shoulder. "Thank you very much. I promise to savour it and not give it to the mecha-lizard."Arven smiled a little, and handed Robin her half of the sandwich. "That's all I ask for. No more charity.""No promises. I'm a kind-hearted individual." She said playfully, finally eating some of her own sandwich. "D@mn. This sh@t is delicious.""Don't start your food review by saying 'this sh@t'. Scared the sh@t out of me." Arven scolded her, holding out a golden bottlecap in his hand. "Also, here. I made something for you. As thanks for helping me out."Robin took his hand, inspecting the little trinket. "Is this, like, a little medal or something?""It's, like, my own little DIY badge. Like, you beat Arven's Gyms!" He said with a big, goofy grin on his face. "I know it's not much, but...""Don't say that. It's adorable." Robin cooed like she was talking to her Ralts, before holding it up to the glow of the Herba Mystica. "Did you, like, squish a bottlecap in with a dictionary and paint over it or something? I mean, it looks pretty good! I'm curious how you did it!"Arven scratched the back of his neck, looking just a little bit flustered. "U-Uh, that's pretty much it, yeah... I used a lamp, though.""Potato, potahto." Robin said dismissively. "Thanks, bud. Now I have two badges! You know, badges back home were much taller than this. I got that badge from Katy, and I was like, 'Where's the rest of it, hoe? You tryna shortchange me?'"Arven smiled, a fond look washing over his face as he watched Robin eat her sandwich. She stole little peeks at him, trying not to meet his gaze. She didn't even think he realized he was staring. He was probably just spacing out and waiting for her to leave.She finally finished her sub, and rose to her feet. "Well, I guess I should get going. I've got some Team Star goons to pummel, and Penny's waiting for me. Unless you need help cleaning up...?"Arven waved her off, smiling a little at her 'generosity' she very clearly only threw in to be polite. "Nah, it's fine. I've got nowhere to be. Go, have fun. Don't lose.""Psh. Even though that guy who looks like Grimsley from my home region's Elite Four also mysteriously specializes in Dark-types, I'm still gonna whoop his ass. Ralts will probably be Kirlia by the next time you see me." Robin promised with a cocky smirk. "Thanks for the sandwich and the badge. Sorry I gave you so many mild heart palpitations."Arven chuckled a little at that, his face heating up just a little one last time. "Don't worry about it. I'll see you later.""Bye!" Robin called as she left the cave, the sun blinding her and poor Munna a little. Ralts had built-in eye protection, so she was perfectly content to keep floating along. The Titan Klawf was still lying unconscious on the ground, and it looked like it would be out for quite awhile longer. Good thing, since Arven would need to get out of there himself. It'd be very unfortunate if he had to fight that thing on his own. He wouldn't last a minute.Aw, poor Arven. She really put him on a roller coaster. That was probably the most bewildered she'd ever left anyone after queening out with them in years. She'd have to remember to tone it down for him next time.Hehe. Next time. She was actually kind of looking forward to it. She was looking forward to hanging out with a man. It must have been a pretty cold day in hell for that to happen.Arven waited for about a minute after Robin left before letting Mabosstiff out of his Poke Ball. "Come on out, bud. Sorry it took so long. That girl is very chatty." He mumbled as he opened the ball, releasing his best bud, his most loyal companion who couldn't even open his eyes anymore. He'd just lay there whenever Arven released him, barely even breathing. It never, ever got any easier seeing him in that state.Arven sighed, and grabbed the half of the sandwich he'd made for Mabosstiff. "Here, buddy. Eat up." He said, holding the sandwich in front of Mabo's mouth. He took a small sniff, and didn't even try to eat it."Mabo. Please. Eat the sandwich." He pleaded. "You have to eat something."Mabosstiff gingerly nibbled at the corner of the sandwich. It was a start, so Arven kept feeding it into his mouth. Eventually, Mabosstiff finished it all, but he didn't seem much livelier.Arven sighed. "It's just one of five. Next time it'll be better." He reassured Mabosstiff and himself in equal measure. "We're only 20% there. We've just gotta trust the process.""I'm sorry I lied to her about you, Mabo. I-I just can't talk about it. Not yet. Not while I'm staring that Munna in the face." Arven grumbled, sitting down on the ground next to Mabosstiff and idly stroking his fur. "I wonder if she'd go to all these lengths to save her Munna."He laughed bitterly, a dark grimace spreading over his face. "No, no, she wouldn't have to. She'd never let her Munna get hurt. And you can bet your ass she wouldn't need help. 'Cause she's perfect. You know, her Munna can level skyscrapers. She can twirl batons! She's friends with everyone! And she's got a lovely little family waiting for her at home, but she's got a Treasure Hunt to go on! Her mom's at home right now, sending her lovely gift-wrapped sandwiches to help her along her journey, that she gives to the f@ck@ng mecha-lizard!" He yelled, slamming his fist against the rocky ground. Mabosstiff didn't even flinch. He probably didn't have enough strength to flinch.Arven groaned, rubbing his poor pinky finger with his other hand as his hand ached in pain. "Well, that was stupid." He said bluntly, laughing a little to himself."Man, a girl said she thinks I'm pretty and I'm mad about it. 'Cause her Munna's doing just peachy." He remarked, a wry smile spreading on his face as he realized his own ridiculousness. "What is wrong with me?!" He cried, holding his head in his hands and rocking back and forth.Arven groaned. "Mabo, we gotta get you back together, 'cause I'm losing my mind over here."'
