Any clue why some people keep calling that lime kid like lucky?

Hm? People are doing that? This is the first time I’m hearing about this.

september-the-fletchinder

September is mumbling to himself “ we’re just here to check something and for lily’s birthday. That’s it. Nothing else “

he was not really looking where she was going though and ends up running into someone

@september-the-fletchinder

// dsfsgdfgs September you don’t need to be so serious/silly.

little side thing but September is part Fletchinder and dose have wings. His Pfp just doesn’t have them .

*Indy staggers back, surprised.*

“Woah! Careful where you’re going, kid. We wouldn’t want you walking into a 4-way intersection like that.”

*September shakes his head to get her to focus again *

“ sorry I was distracted I guess and didn’t see you . Sorry about running into you “

At least she didn’t hit him with her wings by accident..

“It’s alright. I run into people sometimes too, when I’m distracted thinking about hot pockets! Say, have you ever had one? They’re really tasty.”

*Indy tries to make small talk to ease the awkwardness.*

He is working a new job, some contract killing. Very simple as usual.

He is nowhere near the scene of the crimes, being at one of his homes in Johto, while CCTV has located the target in Galar.

As usual, he has Beheeyem teleport the target away, in midair somewhere over the vast ocean with no land in sight and just dumped.

No witnesses. Done.

Except maybe this time.

@indy-the-explorer

*Indy happened to be sitting on the back of a Lapras in the middle of the ocean.*

*Earlier, he had gone to the beach after someone reported a Lapras going berserk from Laquium gas. He defeated it and gave it a berry, but it tried to thank him by lifting him onto its back and going out for a joyride in the sea. A few hours had passed and Indy was NOT enjoying his little cruise.*

“Lapras, I know you want to thank me, but seriously, I’m employed and I cannot afford to be be seen in the middle of the ocean on a Wednesday.”

*Something catches Indy’s attention as he sees… a person dropping from the air into the ocean? He pats Lapras’ head and urges it to go look. As they swim closer, Indy sees that… it really is a person.*

“My Wednesdays are getting weirder every week… grab on, stranger!”

The stranger is rather dazed from the drop in the ocean and barely realises what's going on but feebly holds out a hand.

Beheeyem watches and notices Indy's interference. He quickly connects directly with Azur's mind so he can see what's happening. "Not sure how this fool got here."

Azur is startled and rolls his eyes at seeing Indy. Of all people...

"Reteleport the target over another patch of ocean, make sure it's empty, then bring me to Indy. Forget erasing memories, I want to talk to him."

Beheeyem teleports the target away again.

*Indy blinks in surprise as the other person vanishes with a flash of light. They’re gone without a trace, as if they never appeared. He glances at Lapras.*

“I must be dreaming right now.”

*Lapras gives him an incredulous look and splashes water at him.*

“Ack- hey! Alright, I’m definitely not dreaming. But that just made my Wednesday even weirder!”

Azur watches as the target is successfully dumped without interference this time. He grabs a bag and puts on a coat before Beheeyem teleports him over.

He appears right behind Indy standing on Lapras, with his arms crossed.

He has forgotten to put on shoes and is barefoot, which he just noticed. Nevermind.

"Indy. The hell are you doing out here? Messing with my normal jobs now?"

He looks at Lapras. "I didn't know you had one."

*Indy nearly falls off Lapras out of surprise, but he catches himself before he hits the water.*

“Holy sh— Azur! You almost gave me a heart attack!”

*Once he steadies himself, he exhales, looking at Azur with an exasperated expression.*

“What are you talking about? ‘Messing with your normal jobs?’ I’m not doing anything! I was forced to go on a mini vacation by this wild Lapras. And no, it’s not mine.”

*Lapras looks at the men on its back and goes back to paddling like nothing happened.*

He chuckles at Indy's near mishap but doesn't bother to even try to help. He's motionless.

Once he calms down he shrugs nonchalantly. He won't bring up what he was doing unless Indy specifically asks.

He huffs. "Well, sorry for randomly appearing."

He looks around before shrugging again.

"Oh, forget about my jobs. Did this Lapras kidnap you or something? If you don't want to be here, can't you just leave?"

“Yeah. You’re forgiven.”

*Indy huffs.*

“Pretty much. Getting kidnapped was NOT on my to-do list today. And I would leave, but my Salamence is currently at the Pokemon Center, and Aqua hates it when I ride on his back while he’s swimming. So I’m stuck until Lapras brings me back to shore… which will probably be in a few hours… or days…”

*Indy groans into his hands.*

He raises an eye at being forgiven. After a deep breath he responds.

"Well, you're welcome."

After another deep breath, and going through plenty of mental thoughs, he shrugs.

"Fine. I'll take you back to shore. I don't want Director Spinel complaining about you shirking work duties even though you suck at it. Your girlfriend will probably be worried too, besides she can't work alone either."

*Indy shakes Azur’s hand rapidly.*

“You’re gonna take me off this boring cruise?! Thank the lords you came to save me!!”

*He turns a bit pink and looks away at the mention of Rubina.*

“She’s not my girlfriend, man. Just get me off this Lapras and back to land, please!”

He is very bewildered by the sudden handshake and just gapes at Indy and his eyes bulge.

"Whoa, whoa!! Slow down..."

He rapidly takes back his hand once it gets released. He blinks a few times before calming down. He then chuckles.

"Totally didn't expect something like that. I'll get you back. Got a specific destination?"

He rolls his eyes.

"Oh just get Rubina some flowers or whatever she likes and ask her out. How have you not? Or are you waiting for her to make a move?"

*Indy thinks for a moment.*

“Any destination?”

*He grins sheepishly.*

“Any chance you could get me in front of a men’s restroom? I really gotta go.”

*He sputters at Azur’s next remark.*

“C-come on, that’s ridiculous! And I’m not the type of guy to wait for the lady to make the first move.”

*He most totally is the type of guy to do that. Pathetic.*

"Sure, I guess."

He chuckles. "All genders are equal. Whoever wants to make a first move should. But just a moment…"

He takes another deep breath and contacts his Beheeyem, but after a moment he rolls his eyes.

"Right. So, Beheyeem won't teleport you. Good thing I've got another option now, I'll fly you back. There's bound to be a restroom."

He pulls out a newly cleaned Pokeball.

*Indy looks insulted.*

“Why won’t they teleport me?! Agh, nevermind. What’s important is that you’ve got a backup plan.”

*Indy looks curiously at Azur’s Pokeball.*

He sighs...then snorts...

"Apparently I've harassed you too many times...sorry. He doesn't seem to want to teleport you anywhere except outside a port-a-potty...in a farmer's carrot field..."

He lets his Pokemon out.

"Don't think you've seen my new Salamence yet."

*Indy scrunches his nose up at the mention of carrots.*

“Yeah, I’d pick the long way back over a field full of those devilish vegetables. Yuck.”

*Indy wows in awe at Azur’s Salamence.*

“You have one too?! Man, if only I had mine with me… I nicknamed my Salamence Salsa, by the way. I think it fits him.”

He sighs. "I figured. I was there about a couple months ago and started thinking what you'd be doing. So yeah, Beheeyem thinks it funny. But let's forget that."

He turns and smiles at his Salamance and then back at Indy.

"Yeah I do. Looks like all of us have Salamences now. I haven't nicknamed any of my Pokemon though. I do think Salsa suits yours."

He pats his Salamence as it flies just in front of them.

"Need help getting on?"

*Indy huffs proudly.*

“Thank you, Salsa’s the best name ever! And I’ve got this, don’t worry.”

*Just as Indy is about to climb onto Azur’s Salamence, he trips over its conveniently swishing tail and flops right into the ocean. Splash.*

*He emerges from the waves, spitting water out. At least he knows how to swim…*

“Ptoo… that’s salty….”

Salamence is startled and zips off flying around them. He calls out to it.

"Hey, hey! Calm down. That was an accident."

Salamence comes back around, looking at Indy with a frown.

He looks at Indy and rolls his eyes.

"How the hell do you ever get on yours?"

He jumps on top of Salamence, sits down and holds a hand out to Indy.

*Indy laughs sheepishly, taking Azur’s hand and climbing onto Salamence’s back.*

“My bad, dude… truth to be told, Salsa doesn’t let me fly on him. I wanted to look cool but it backfired. Terribly.”

*Indy’s soggy clothes make Salamence growl in annoyance.*

He rolls his eyes again as he makes sure Indy is settled on Salamence properly.

"The only thing that could possibly make you look cool at all is your uniform, and that's because someone else designed it."

Salamence pokes him with its tail as he chuckles and pats it.

"Alright, let's get going."

Salamence starts flying off.

*Indy beams with pride at that ‘compliment.’*

“Thank you! My uniform does bring out the true blue in me, doesn’t it? I’m glad it was designed after my boss’s fit. Gives me an air of authority, y’know? Can you believe someone called it tacky a few days ago? Ugh!”

*He really gets frustrated over the smallest things.*

"Your boss is the best person in the world, and the best looking too."

He grins wildly as he stands up and faces Indy. He always loves saying that.

"You should really behave more like him perhaps. You represent him, but your behaviour is so much different.

Who called it tacky? Looks like someone needs to be beaten up."

“Well it’s good to find someone who finally agrees with me for once!”

*Indy raises an eyebrow.*

“Hey, don’t fall off or anything. And my behavior…? I’m working on it, alright?! I’ve been taking ‘serious lessons,’ which is just me staring at myself in a mirror with a frown for an hour a day.”

*He cringes. Okay, that sounded way cooler in his head. Not said out loud.*

“Maybe you can beat that person up for me. Though I have no idea who they are.”

He smirks, thinking of Spinel.

"If it's something you agree with your boss, then yes I agree too. Just about everything about your boss is agreeable and the best. Try not to do things without thinking."

He shrugs.

"I've stood up before, their old trainer does too. Salamence is a smooth ride, smoother than Citrine's.

When and where did it happen? If there is a camera, we can find the badmouther."

//do you have any preference for where we are when we reach shore?

*Indy hangs on a little tighter to Salamence’s back. He doesn’t want to risk it for once.*

“Old trainer? You mean you didn’t originally catch this Dragon Pokemon?”

“Ehhh… I forgot. Just forget it, I’d rather use my brainpower for other things. Like scrolling on Joltik Tok.”

"Ah. No, its old trainer passed when her ship crashed into a lake. I recently found its Pokeball at the bottom, where it was stuck for years."

He shrugs and just keeps looking ahead. There is a shoreline in the distance.

"Alright. You should be using your brainpower on work though."

//Oops. Sorry, I meant like which region because this could be anywhere. Sinnoh is rather tempting due to the connections but would be far.

“Oh… I’m sorry about that, Salamence.”

*He gazes at Salamence apologetically.*

“He just… accepted you as his new trainer? Or did you have to tame him?”

//ah I see! I think Exceed HQ is in Paldea so like. a shoreline near Levincia, I’m guessing.

Salamence just roars quietly.

"They're happier now, more playful than it used to be. Really wanted me, actually. We talked and parted, but later it came all the way to our home, from Sinnoh, dropping its Pokeball in our garden."

He now recognises the shoreline as Paldea's North Province. He's amused.

"How do we happen to be here? Can we land near Levincia?"

Salamence nods and starts turning left to head around the shore.

//No sense of adventure. You can read the other related rps. Two main threads. Haven't finished with catching yet.

“Glad to hear it’s happier now.”

*Indy’s worried face eases a little.*

“Some Pokémon have trouble moving on, but your Salamence is an emotionally strong fella, I’ll tell you that!”

*He chuckles, patting Salamence on the head.*

He smiles.

"It sure is. Moving on from their old trainer was the easy part, getting past being stuck due to their trainer's fault was the hard part. Didn't have a lot of choices before."

Salamance lets out a soft growl before flying lower, following the shoreline.

*Indy gazes at the setting sun.*

“Not having a lot of choices, huh… I can relate.”

*He clears his throat, averting the topic.*

“So! We’re almost there. Thanks for saving me. I thought I was gonna die out there in the middle of the sea.”

*A Flamethrower roars by, the power sending a warm heat wave through the train station. Indy’s currently battling a bystander who was talkin’ crap about Exceed. Of course he always gets distracted by the smallest problems ever…*

“Salamence, show them how ‘stupid’ Exceed and their employees are! Use Dragon Dance!”

@indy-the-explorer

[Lizzy felt the sudden shift in temperature and immediately got on the defensive. Did they find her?]

[However once she spotted Indy, she calmed down ever so slightly. He's battling someone...possibly due to his short temper. She checked the departure board and realized that she still had 20 minutes before her train arrived. Just enough time to stop the battle.]

*Indy held out his Strong Sphere, ready to toss it. The other opponent had a Gengar, quite the formidable opponent. Indy’s Salamence charged itself up with Dragon Dance and let out a huge roar. Somehow the train station staff hadn’t noticed the ruckus yet, as this was a no-battle zone…*

“When I beat you into the dirt, you’re going to be begging me and my boss for an apology.”

[Without a moment's hesitation, Lizzy darted in front of the other trainer, not noticing that Indy was about to toss the Strong Sphere.]

*At that exact moment, Indy threw his Strong Sphere into the air. He saw Lizzy suddenly dash in front of Salamence, but it was too late.*

“Eh?! Lizzy, watch out—“

*Indy didn’t have time to finish his sentence before the spherical device activated and sprayed a large amount of Laquium gas directly below it, dosing both Salamence and Lizzy in a pink haze.*

[Everything was a blur. Lizzy was too slow to react, causing her to breathe in enough Laquium to drive any Pokemon insane-- except her, obviously. She couldn't hear whatever the other trainer was saying over her own violent coughing.]

"..A-ack..."

*Indy kept shouting Lizzy’s name and asking her to move out of the dangerous battlefield, but she didn’t seem to hear him at all…*

*To make matters worse, Salamence was now going feral and nearly knocked Lizzy over when it charged towards the Gengar to attack in its frenzy.*

“Lizzy?! Lizzy, I’m sorry, are you alright? It’s dangerous over here, you have to move before you get hurt!”

[Lizzy could barely hear him over the painful ringing in her ears. As a last resort, she managed to dislodge her Iron Valiant's Pokeball from her belt in an attempt to take down Salamence. Her only goal now was to not pass out---which was easier said than done.]

*Indy’s Salamance growls as the Gengar uses Phantom Force to sink into the ground. Now that Lizzy was the only one on the battlefield, its attention was all on her.*

“GROOAAR!!”

[Lizzy mustered up all the strength she had left to release Iris and call out an attack.]

"I-Iris....use Moonblast.."

[Iris unsheathed its blades and dashed forward fearlessly towards Salamence before delivering a devastating point-blank Moonblast.]

*Indy watches in shock as Salamance flies back from the impact and almost onto another bystander. The pink mist fades and his dragon Pokemon is left fainted on the ground. Gengar rises out of the ground, a bit confused, before floating back to its trainer. The Gengar’s trainer comes to their senses and quickly takes off to avoid confronting train station security…*

“A one-hit KO…? Lizzy, come on!”

*But he quickly overcomes his bewilderment as soon as he notices Lizzy’s condition. He returns Salamence and rushes over to her.*

"...."

[Lizzy's head pounded like crazy. Once Iris deemed that the main threat was taken care of, it quickly returned to its Pokeball on its own. Lizzy knew that trying to get up would be helpless; her body was busy fighting off Laquium which was draining her like crazy.]

[Eventually Lizzy lost consciousness completely and blacked out.]

*Indy catches Lizzy before her head hit the ground. He lifts her as carefully as he could, trying to shake her awake.*

“Liz? Liz!! Nononono… Laquium shouldn’t affect people, but… she’s part Zoroark… this is bad…”

*Indy hears shouting and footsteps rapidly approaching them. This was gonna be tough to explain to security. Without skipping a beat, he heaves Lizzy onto his shoulders like a sack of potatoes and makes a run for it. Director Spinel could sort this problem out later.*

[Station security arrived too late and missed Indy dashing off completely. The train that Lizzy was planning to catch----one that went out to the Unova Region-- arrived at the platform and screeched to a halt as people offloaded and created a big enough crowd to misdirect security.]

*In a state of panic, Indy rushes into the first train he sees, which was Lizzy’s train. Thankfully, as an Explorer agent, he had a handy card that let him into any train with a quick scan. He scanned it twice and went all the way to the back where there were less people.*

“Great, now I’m on the run from the cops. Where does this train even go…?”

*He sighs, setting Lizzy down comfortably on an empty seat next to him.*

“I’ve got a lot to explain to my boss once this whole thing is over…”

"All passengers, take your seats as the train doors will be closing momentarily."

[The announcement came though the speakers on board, and just as it did the doors closed with a hiss. Another voice could be heard from the speakers shortly after.]

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. This train will be departing for the Unova region at our scheduled time of 4:00 PM and the ride will last an estimated 8 hours."

[The first voice, a monotone one was crossed by one sounding more cheerful.]

"Please ensure that you follow the rules so that we may have a safe journey. With that being said, ALL ABOARD!"

*Indy adjusts Lizzy’s position a bit so she won’t accidentally topple over and hurt herself. If she wakes up with a bump on the head, Indy’s ass is cooked. Iris is scary.*

*He crosses his arms and closes his eyes, finally able to relax a bit now that security won’t catch him. For now.*

“That must be Ingo and Emmet. Heard they’re the subway masters or something of Unova…”

*Indy mutters to himself.*

[The train eventually started to move off, picking up speed as it chugged along the tracks. A subway boss then started to come around, checking people’s tickets.]

*Indy shows them his two digital tickets. Lizzy still hasn’t stirred yet. He wonders if she passed out because of the Laquium… oh, he’s so stupid… of COURSE she passed out because of the Laquium! Indy didn’t know if he had to perform CPR or find an antidote, but he had checked Lizzy’s breathing earlier and found it to be steady. Only time would tell…*

[A shiny Zygarde cell squirmed out from her pocket and landed on the seat with an inaudible thud. Confused, it looked up and noticed that Lizzy was unconscious and in a panic started to desperately try to wake her up, not noticing Indy initially]

*Indy notices the movement from out of the corner of his eye and nearly jumps out of his seat in surprise.*

“AGH-!”

*Indy clutches his chest dramatically, but his heartbeat calms down as he inspects the tiny Pokemon.*

“Wait… I’ve seen one of those before… you’re a Zygarde cell, right? Are you Lizzy’s?”

[The cell got startled and immediately went on the defensive---it was ready to become its 10% form but it stopped. He didn't seem like he meant any harm. The cell---now identified to actually be a core--- blinked twice at Indy.]

*Indy hesitated. Should he…?*

*He carefully leaned down to the Zygarde core’s level.*

“Nice to meet you. I’m Indy, Lizzy’s friend. I work for Exceed, but I mean no harm to her, I promise.”

*Indy slowly reaches a hand out to the core, seeing if it’ll trust him…*

[The core eyed him suspiciously....before eventually jumping into his hand]

*Indy sits back up, checking Lizzy once to make sure she’s still ok. Once that’s done, he turns his attention to the Zygarde core.*

“Thanks for trusting me. Soooo… do you have a name? I mean, I guess you can’t really tell me if you do, huh… haha…”

[The Zygarde core shook its head in response to Indy's question.]

[Lizzy groaned a little and shifted]

“Alright, I got it. If I could name you, I’d call you… Zaza. Heheh.”

*Indy grins smugly to himself, very proud of his stupid joke. What a moron—*

*Indy turned his head to look at Lizzy. Was she finally waking up?*

“Liz?”

[The core deadpanned at Indy.]

[Lizzy's eye fluttered open and the first thing she was met with was the train roof. Still quite dazed, she didn't even hear Indy's voice at first.]

"...W.....Where..?"

*Indy hugs Lizzy on instinct.*

“You’re alive! I’m so glad I don’t have to hide a body today.”

*Zaza is now squished in Indy’s palm and pressed against Lizzy’s side… they’re totally fine… right… haha…*

[Lizzy froze, staring straight ahead unblinkingly. "Was he really that worried about someone like me?" She thought to herself. She eventually saw herself accepting the hug.]

[The Zygarde Core was so ready to bite Indy's hand....if it had a mouth.]

*Indy pulls back from the hug, laughing awkwardly.*

“Alright, so I may have fled from security and brought you onto a random train. We’re going to Unova.”

*Indy opens his palm, letting Zaza finally hop away.*

“Sorry, little guy…”

[Zaza squirmed away and hopped into Lizzy’s pocket. She blinked twice at him.]

“…You’re lucky that this is actually the train that I’m taking. What happened?”

*Indy sighs in relief.*

“Thank the hot pocket lords I picked the right one! I thought you were gonna send your robo-Gardevoir Gallade to beat me up.”

*He jokes.*

“You passed out after inhaling Strong Sphere gas. But before that, you let Iris out and they… uh… one-kit KO’d my Salamence with a Moonblast.”

*Indy seemed a bit embarrassed to admit that he got defeated so easily.*

“The other trainer ran away, and that’s when security came. So I grabbed you and ran into the nearest train.”

“Strong…Sphere..?”

[Lizzy tilted her head as if she was trying to remember. After a few seconds it finally clicked.]

“I see…so that’s what happened. Though I’m not surprised that you ran from security.”

[Lizzy deadpanned. Part of her was relived that they didn't get caught though...]

*Indy waves his arms around defensively, whining like a child.*

“What do you mean you’re not surprised?! I’m not some villain in an anime who runs away from the authorities. That’s ridiculous! I am the authorities! Er, well, an authority! Singular. Unless you count Rubina. Then that would make it plural.”

*What a yapper.*

[Lizzy sighed. What a yapper indeed…]

“So in this case that would make me the villain, right? Since I’m constantly running from you two.”

[A cold chill ran though the train….]

*Indy opens his mouth to speak, but he decides it’s best not to escalate the conversation anymore. To him, Lizzy was indeed still an enemy that he befriended…*

“I don’t think you’re the villain. Maybe the anti-hero, sure. No offense, antiheroes are cool!”

*He shivers when the cold chill hits him…*

"...An anti-hero....I suppose that makes sense as well."

[Lizzy tried to stand up but her legs immediately gave out on her.]

"...this seems to be a much higher concentration than before. Why am I still being so affected...?"

[She seemed to mutter to herself as she managed to drag herself back into the seat. The two voices from the announcement could be heard nearby as if they were approaching.]

*Indy helps her back into her seat, and keeps his respectful distance but is sure to catch Lizzy if she fell down again or anything.*

“Don’t think of it like a derogatory term, Liz… are you still dizzy from the Laquium?”

*Indy raises his head at the voices. The subway masters?*

“I’m fine.”

[Lizzy said rather bluntly. She’s hiding something.]

[The voices finally reached their seats and it turned out to be the Subway Masters, Emmet and Ingo.]

“Good afternoon! I do hope you both are having a pleasant ride. And it’s good to see you again, Lizzy!”

[Emmet said cheerfully and rather professionally. Ingo tipped his hat in acknowledgment.]

“Who’s your friend here?”

“Dizzy Lizzy.”

*Indy muttered to himself. He found that phrase comedic despite the serious situation.*

*Indy smiles at Ingo and Emmet. His grin gets a little strained when Ingo tips his hat. Bald man bald man bald man… don’t laugh Indy don’t you dare laugh.*

“Hey! The name’s Indy. Nice to meet you guys. pppffft…”

“Indy…that’s a verrrry nice name. I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. And this is my twin brother, Ingo.”

[Emmet added, oblivious to Indy’s comment and Lizzy’s tired glare towards Indy. Ingo nodded in agreement to what is brother was saying.]

“We used to run the Battle Subway in the Unova region, but now we conduct the Royal Express heading there.”

“Heh, so I’ve been told! Nice to meet you two.”

*Indy hides a small smirk when Lizzy glares at him.*

“Lizzy’s feeling reaaaally dizzy lately. Thought we might take a vacation to Unova to escape from secur— ahem, I mean, escape from the harsh realities of real life!”

[Emmet blinked twice.]

"Suuure pal."

[Emmet's Galvantula had already made itself comfortable on Lizzy's lap.]

*Awkward silence. Was Indy’s lie really that obvious…? Heh… he tries to change the subject. And also because he’s hungry.*

“……you got any food on this train?”

[Emmet's classic smile immediately re-appeared, going back into his more professional persona.]

"Yess of course! I'll go fetch the menu!"

[With that Emmet dashed out of the train car. Ingo sighed.]

"Forgive him. He's not to fond of you since some of your colleagues raided one of our trains in search of this one here."

[Ingo gestured to Lizzy. Lizzy's ears immediately moved to cover her face out of guilt-- Ingo then realized that he worded that wrong.]

"I-it's not your fault, Lizzy! They're the villains here!"

*Indy fidgets with the collar of his jacket, suddenly looking uncomfortable.*

“Yeahhh… I could get fired for helping Lizzy… sometimes I wonder if my corporation isn’t as nice as it seems. I don’t regret joining the Explorers, but I occasionally question their deeds.”

*Indy pats Lizzy on the back lightly.*

“You’re really awesome, and I’d never turn you in to Exceed. Friends are more important than corporate ladders!”

”…Thank you.”

[Lizzy mumbled. Ingo nodded in appreciation of Indy’s comment]

*Indy seems pretty stiff from awkwardness. He fiddles with his thumbs.*

“Sooo… how many hours till we arrive at Unova?”

*His stomach growls. More awkard silence.*

"Actually... I'm going to make you mine, Indy."

@totally-not-friede

“WHAT.”

*Jaw drops. Pure shock.*

“You’re gonna make me… mine in a coal mine?! Like in one of those old-timey caves?!?”

"Yeeeeep!"

Holds out the picaxe.

"Them diamonds ain't gonna mine themselves."

*Indy facepalms.*

“Seriously?! I have a high ranking corporate job. I don’t want to get dirty in a dinky old mine!”

"What are you talking about?

... We're in minecraft."

*Indy looks around him. They are indeed in Minecraft.*

*He dramatically falls to his knees and yells.*

“NOOOOOO!!!”

"And you can not put your bed next to mine. Now get in that cave!"

*Indy grumbles, snatching the pickaxe from Citrine.*

“You lead the way then. I don’t know how this blocky-ass world works.”

He starts walking ahead, and into the cave.

"I will defend you from mobs and make you walk ways."

“Mobs? Walk ways? All this Minecraft talk is making my head spin.”

*Indy follows behind.*

"You'll be fine, just don't fall in lava."

“If I die in Minecraft, will I die in real life?”

*Indy shudders at the thought of lava.*

"No, no you won't."

“Whew, thank the hot pocket lords! I’m guessing I’ll just respawn then? But where, exactly…?”

"Spawn. I'll just teleport you back."

“Alright, if you say so. What were we looking for again? Diamonds? Emeralds?”

"Diamonds, we need to get to the Nether."

“Wait, I’ve seen this online before somewhere. We’ll need some kinda weird purple portal, right? And then we fight the dragon?!? And the other scary guys?!”

"We'll be fine. I'll teach you the water bucket trick and everything."

He keeps going deeper in to the cave, placing torches.

“Water bucket trick? Are you some kind of Minecraft pro? I don’t know what you’re yapping about, but I’m down to learn some tips.”

*Indy follows closely, scanning the area for potential danger.*

"Apparently. Though water isn't good for breaking long falls in real life though."

“I know that! You think I’m dumb or something?”

*He definitely is.*

[She was walking towards a small store, hoping to find something for her splitting headache]

@nyaoha-superfan

//Hi! Thought it was time for them to officially meet in the rp world :)

*Indy happened to be walking back to Exceed after his lunch break. He rounds a corner and almost runs into Liko.*

“Gah— sorry, miss.”

*He pauses. She looked familiar for some reason…*

“Excuse me, do I… know you from somewhere?”

//YEEHEE HAI LIKOFAN :333 I hope you’re doing better now!!! I prefer doing more detailed roleplays to enjoy the experience, so hope you’re up to match my silly enthusiasm 😋🔥✨

[She looks up]

Oh great....

[She sighs]

I'm not in the mood today....

//Thank you I am! I'm really excited :)

*Indy jumps back 5 feet. How? The power of anime.*

“Wait, I recognize you! You’re Liko, from the Rising Volt Tacklers!”

*He pulls out Salamence’s Pokeball, ready to battle.*

“What’s your deal? And where are your friends? Here to cause more ecoterrorism at this local convenience store?”

[She groans]

Please just leave me alone for once.... Today is the worst day for this!

[She starts walking away, shaking her head in disbelief]

*Indy raises an eyebrow in disbelief. Director Spinel had informed him and Rubina that the Rising Volt Tacklers were dangerous teens who never backed down from a fight, and… Liko was just walking away? Impossible! Must be a trick.*

“Hey! I know what you’re doing!”

*Indy calls out from behind her, not making an effort to follow her yet.*

“You’re trying to get me to let my guard down, right?! Well you can’t trick me, I’ve got the IQ of a supercomputer!!”

That's not-

[Her headache is getting worse, she didn't feel like arguing with this guy]

Ugh.... Sure.... Whatever....

*Indy crosses his arms as he watches Liko walk out of sight. Any second she’s gonna come back and jumpscare him with that evil cat of hers, he tells himself…*

*Minutes tick by. Nothing happens.*

“AUGH!! I was so sure of myself!! I just let a criminal walk away, I’m such a fool!!!!”

*Indy kicks a wall and hops around in pain.*

“Ow-ow-owie—“

*Nearby pedestrians look at Indy like he’s gone insane. The hell was this guy on…*

[She hears the commotion and looks back]

Oh you have got to be kidding me....

[Ignoring her splitting headache she goes into a store and buys an ice pack, walking back over to Indy]

Here.... Take this....

*Indy looks at Liko incredulously. He refuses.*

“No thank you, miss Liko. I don’t take handouts from fiends!”

*He proceeds to limp away. He slips on a gum wrapper somehow and faceplants onto the ground. Thud.*

“This is the most embarrassing day of my life.”

[She sighs]

Don't be difficult about this.... You're hurt....

[She reaches her hand down]

Please just let me help you....

*Indy (who now has a nosebleed) scooches away from Liko like a scared, injured animal. Is he… afraid of Liko? Dude… come on Indy. You’re better than this, man.*

“I’m fine! Perfectly fine! This happens on a daily basis and I don’t need your pity, Volt Tackler!!”

You're not fine.... Please....

[She's trying not to cry, no one's ever looked at her like that. Like she was.... dangerous]

I promise you I won't hurt you! I wouldn't hurt anyone!

[Her eyes fill up with tears]

*Indy pauses, hesitant. At that moment, Director Spinel’s warnings seemed to fade away. All Indy saw in front of him was a very sad teen.*

“…”

*Slowly, he takes the ice pack from her and nurses his foot with it, looking at Liko with a cautious expression. Not scared anymore.*

“…thanks.”

Y-you're welcome....

[She stutters, wiping her eyes]

D-does it feel any b-better?

[She's still stuttering a little bit, but she looks much happier]

*Indy nods. His nosebleed is still… prominent. He takes a tissue out of his pocket and wipes his nose.*

“It does.”

*He’s feeling better enough to stand, and so he does. The ice pack really helped. He’s a bit embarrassed, but… he’s grateful.*

“Do you want it back? I mean, you paid for it… I’d hate to just take it from you.”

That's okay you can ju-

[She cuts off and winches as she feels pain from her headache]

Ouch....

[She holds her head and leans on a conveniently placed lamp post]

“You alright? Headache, I’m presuming?”

*Indy furrows his eyebrows in concern. Liko was still one of his enemies, but he didn’t care about it at that time.*

“I have some Advil here if you want one…”

*He reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a crinkled Advil pocket. Geez, this dude had everything in his damn pockets—*

Y-yeah....

[She smiles and takes the Advil]

Thanks.... I really appreciate it....

*Indy doesn’t look so defensive anymore. He’s calmed down now. He looks at Liko with a cheery face.*

“Well, Director Spinel gave me direct orders to catch you and bring you to Exceed if I ever found you out in public. Guess it’s time!”

*Oh shoot. He’s dead serious.*

[She groans again]

I really thought that I wouldn't have to do this today.... Kicking me while I'm down huh....

[She laughs half-heartedly]

I guess I should've known.... You're never see me as anything but the enemy.... Let's just get this over with....

*Indy’s jaw drops. Liko’s… going along with it? She’s not sending out her scary cat or her even scarier fairy witch? His brain is short-circuiting.*

“You’re not going to fight back…?”

*Indy shakes himself out of it, muttering to himself.*

“Gah! Get yourself together, Indy. Just… escort her to Exceed without letting her escape.”

*He doesn’t have any restraints on him. He’s just gonna have to walk Liko to Exceed.*

[She sighs]

I'm in no condition to do anything.... I don't really care anymore....

[She's so tired, and her head is still throbbing]

Ugh....

[She's starting to feel dizzy]

*Indy has no choice. He sighs.*

“I didn’t want to resort to this. This is gonna be really awkward.”

*In one swift motion, Indy lifts Liko up and drapes her over his shoulder like she was a big sack of potatoes. He starts walking off towards the direction of Exceed with his new hostage.*

“Strangest day ever…”

[The whole world is spinning]

Well.... I hope you're happy....

[She sighs again]

You got what he wanted.... You'll probably get a raise.... I'm.... happy for you....

[She doesn't really know what she's saying]

*As Indy walks along, he can’t help but feel conflicted. Was he really doing the right thing? I mean, it was good that Liko wasn’t making a scene in public or drawing attention… from far away, it looked like a big brother carrying his unruly sibling home.*

*However, Liko didn’t seem to care. Indy didn’t know if she genuinely was too tired to fight back or if this was some kind of trick…*

*Finally, he stops at the entrance of Exceed HQ. They’re here.*

Wonderful....

[You can barely hear her]

Alright.... Well.... I hope you have a nice life....

[She tries to smile.... It's not convincing]

Cause you'll never see me again after this....

*Indy scans his keycard and heads inside.*

“You are very different from how my boss described you. Maybe I just caught you on a bad day.”

*Indy heads to Spinel’s office, but upon entering… he’s not in there. Hm.*

“Oh. I’ll have to tell him later then. Now, what to do with you while we wait…”

*Indy paces around, before coming to a stop.*

“Aha!! I know!”

Hm.... Sure.... A bad day huh....

[She doesn't have it in her to argue]

And whatever could that be....

*Indy heads into an elevator and takes Liko up a couple floors. He gets out, and turns left.*

*He finally sets Liko down in front of a big door. He unlocks it and opens it.*

“You can stay here for a bit! Exceed doesn’t have scary jail cells or dungeons, we uh… don’t tend to keep hostages. This is a spare guest room for visiting entrepreneurs. Just don’t tell Director Spinel I’m letting you stay here…”

*Inside the room is… like a neat little hotel room. It’s modern and has a bed, desk, and a bathroom.*

“I’ll be back when I find my boss. Bye!”

*Indy ushers Liko inside, and closes the door. It locks from the outside.*

Well.... He's certainly something....

[She sighs]

I'm too tired for this....

[She curls up on the floor and closes her eyes, her head still aching]

[2 hours later]

*A knock on the door. The doorknob clicks open and Indy opens it, peeking in.*

“Woah! What are you doing on the ground? Wait, are you dead?!”

*He squeezes in, holding a tray of food with one hand, trying not to drop anything.*

“Don’t you dare be dead! I got you dinner and everything!”

[She's so tired.... But she tries to wake up]

H-huh....

[She notices him]

I-it's y-you....

*Indy sighs in relief, spinning his keycard recklessly between his fingers as his panic dwindles. Bad idea.*

*The door closes and locks shut with a click. Indy’s keycard slips out out his hand and of course, he tries to catch it… but he ends up batting it under the door. No more keycard. They’re cooked.*

“Crap— my card!”

*Indy places the tray of food into Liko’s shaky arms and tries to open the door, but it’s locked tight.*

“This can’t be happening right nowww… I still haven’t had dinner!”

I-I'm s-sorry....

[She holds the tray of food to him]

Y-you c-can h-have t-this....

[She's struggling to not drop it]

*Indy looks at Liko with an air of pity. He refuses, shaking his head and kneeling down to her level.*

“No no, it’s alright. I’m just dramatic and I like complaining. You, on the other hand, need to eat.”

*He mumbles to himself.*

“Dammit, I left my Rotom Phone on the charger in my office. Guess we can only wait for someone to pick up my keycard and unlock the door for us…”

*Indy’s ✨big brother✨ mode activated. Liko’s no longer an enemy to him.*

I-I'm n-not r-really h-hungry....

[She sets the tray down slowly]

Y-you c-can h-have i-it.... O-or g-give i-it t-to s-someone e-else....

[She curls up and closes her eyes again]

*Indy huffs. This girl is just as stubborn as he is.*

“You remind me of me. And I don’t like that.”

*He lifts Liko under her arms like a toddler and raises her off the floor. He walks her over and sets her on the bed, before picking the tray up and bringing it to her.*

“Not a fan of mac and cheese? Come on, everyone’s a fan of mac and cheese! Here comes the airplane!”

*He scoops a spoonful and makes airplane noises.*

I-I'm r-really n-not h-hungry....

[She looks sad]

I-I'm t-tired a-and d-don't f-feel w-well.... P-please j-just l-let m-me b-be....

*Indy sighs… he puts the tray on the desk and pulls up a chair to sit in front of her.*

“Alright, Liko. Listen, I know we started off on a bad note, and you probably hate me for… well… kidnapping you… but hear me out, hear me out! I can’t disobey orders from the President of Exceed. We might be on opposite sides, but you’re making me feel like the villain here.”

*If only he knew…*

“Do you want to put our differences aside and talk about it?”

I don't h-hate y-you....

[She avoids eye contact]

I don't want to talk a-about i-it.... I d-don't want to t-talk about h-him!

[She covers her mouth]

I s-should n-not have said that.... I should n-not have s-said that!

*Indy raises his hands in front of him, trying to calm her down. He noticed that she really didn’t like it when he mentioned Spinel…*

“Hey, hey… sorry for bringing him up! I’ll stop talking now, I promise!”

*He scooches his chair a few inches back just to prove his point.*

[She turns away, but you can hear her softly sobbing]

I-I'm s-sorry! I-I'm s-sorry!

[She tries to move away a little bit]

I-I d-didn't m-mean to!

*Indy’s internally panicking. He’s never dealt with an emotional teen before. His big brother mode isn’t helping him at all.*

“Arceus help me, how do I calm a crying girl?!”

*Suddenly, Indy’s Salamence pops out of its Pokeball with a bright flash. It stares at Liko with a grumpy look…*

[She looks at it, surprised]

H-hi....

[She tries to wipe her tears away]

“Salsa, no. Down boy, dow—“

*Indy yelps as his Salamence, who’s hilariously nicknamed Salsa, whacks him down onto the floor with its tail and holds him there.*

“Ow! Hey, you can’t tell me to get down, I’m your trainer! Salsa, look at me when I’m talking to you!!”

*Salsa ignores him and sniffs Liko, before nuzzling her face and letting out a low, soothing rumble. It seemed to sense her distress.*

Grrrmmm…

[She giggles a little at Indy getting whacked by Salsa. But after that, she pets Salsa slowly]

I-I'm okay.... Just b-bad m-memories....

[She tries to smile a little]

I'll b-be a-alright....

*Salsa trills in contentment when Liko seemed to cheer up. Indy stays trapped on the floor, grumbling to himself like a pouty kid.*

“Thanks, Salsa. Now pretty please, let me up?”

*Salsa sticks its tongue out at Indy and goes back to nuzzling Liko, being careful because of its large size and tough scales.*

[She smiles even more]

Awww thanks :)

[She looks down at Indy and laughs a little again]

Let him up please....

*Salsa immediately lifts its tail up when Liko asks it to. Indy groans, getting up and dusting himself off. He’s trying not to smile.*

“You really saved me there, Liko. I was feeling like a damsel in distress, trapped by the big scary dragon…”

*Salsa rolls its eyes and chirps at Liko, lowering its head as if asking for headpats.*

You're welcome....

[She notices and pets Salsa on the head again]

Salsa's not scary....

“He sure is scary in battle, I’ll give you that. You’ve seen him firsthand. He’s a real toughie to beat! And yet… you… sigh. You beat him.”

*Indy looks embarrassed to even bring that up again. Salsa growls in happiness and licks Liko.*

[She giggles]

He's just a big softy at heart! A true gentleman!

[She smiles and giggles again]

*Indy chuckles, looking at Salsa and Liko like a proud big bro.*

“Guess I can’t disagree on that.”

*He sits back down on the chair.*

“What do you suggest we do to pass the time? It’ll probably be a while before someone saves us.”

[She smiles even brighter]

Yeah!

[But then her smile falters a little bit, however she fixes it quickly]

Uh.... Know any good games?

*He thinks for a sec.*

“Man, if only I brought some board games. I guess we can only play lame ones like patty-cake.”

*He suddenly lights up. An idea (finally) comes to his mind!*

“Wait, I know!”

*He digs around in his left pocket. Nothing but lint. He switches to his right, and finds something. Indy takes out 2 mini Pokemon action figures: a Totodile and a Quaxly.*

“Check these collectibles out! We can entertain ourselves the non-boring way now!”

They're cool....

[She yawns, still tired]

Perhaps I should.... rest a bit first....

[She mumbles to herself]

Just a bit.... Only rest for a bit....

*Indy nods, understanding.*

“Good thing there’s a bed in here. You can take a nap and I’ll busy myself with my Pokémon figures. Have a nice nap.”

*Indy proceeds to quietly play on the floor with his plastic toys like a child. Salsa sniffs the Totodile and tries to eat it. Indy has to pry it out of its mouth all while keeping quiet.*

“Bad boy—! Drop it!!”

Thanks....

[She lies down on the bed]

Please wake me up if I-

[She cuts herself off]

Never mind....

[She slowly drifts off to sleep]

*Indy was gonna ask Liko to finish her sentence, but he decided not to disturb her any further. She’s had a rough day…*

*So, he continues playing with his action figures while Salsa stares at them and drools.*

“Salsa. If you eat another one I’m putting you back into your Poke Ball.”

Feeds all your mons carrots while you are not there. I think they all enjoy them.

Excuse me?? I mean, I can’t judge what my Pokemon like, but… CARROTS?? Seriously?! My least favorite vegetable… sigh…

Quit it. I don’t need them smelling like those disgusting thangs 24/7.

“Salamence, show them how ‘stupid’ Exceed and their employees are! Use Dragon Dance!”

@indy-the-explorer

[Lizzy felt the sudden shift in temperature and immediately got on the defensive. Did they find her?]

“When I beat you into the dirt, you’re going to be begging me and my boss for an apology.”

[Without a moment's hesitation, Lizzy darted in front of the other trainer, not noticing that Indy was about to toss the Strong Sphere.]

*At that exact moment, Indy threw his Strong Sphere into the air. He saw Lizzy suddenly dash in front of Salamence, but it was too late.*

“Eh?! Lizzy, watch out—“

*Indy didn’t have time to finish his sentence before the spherical device activated and sprayed a large amount of Laquium gas directly below it, dosing both Salamence and Lizzy in a pink haze.*

"..A-ack..."

*Indy kept shouting Lizzy’s name and asking her to move out of the dangerous battlefield, but she didn’t seem to hear him at all…*

*To make matters worse, Salamence was now going feral and nearly knocked Lizzy over when it charged towards the Gengar to attack in its frenzy.*

“Lizzy?! Lizzy, I’m sorry, are you alright? It’s dangerous over here, you have to move before you get hurt!”

*Indy’s Salamance growls as the Gengar uses Phantom Force to sink into the ground. Now that Lizzy was the only one on the battlefield, its attention was all on her.*

“GROOAAR!!”

[Lizzy mustered up all the strength she had left to release Iris and call out an attack.]

"I-Iris....use Moonblast.."

[Iris unsheathed its blades and dashed forward fearlessly towards Salamence before delivering a devastating point-blank Moonblast.]

“A one-hit KO…? Lizzy, come on!”

*But he quickly overcomes his bewilderment as soon as he notices Lizzy’s condition. He returns Salamence and rushes over to her.*

"...."

[Eventually Lizzy lost consciousness completely and blacked out.]

*Indy catches Lizzy before her head hit the ground. He lifts her as carefully as he could, trying to shake her awake.*

“Liz? Liz!! Nononono… Laquium shouldn’t affect people, but… she’s part Zoroark… this is bad…”

“Great, now I’m on the run from the cops. Where does this train even go…?”

*He sighs, setting Lizzy down comfortably on an empty seat next to him.*

“I’ve got a lot to explain to my boss once this whole thing is over…”

"All passengers, take your seats as the train doors will be closing momentarily."

[The announcement came though the speakers on board, and just as it did the doors closed with a hiss. Another voice could be heard from the speakers shortly after.]

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. This train will be departing for the Unova region at our scheduled time of 4:00 PM and the ride will last an estimated 8 hours."

[The first voice, a monotone one was crossed by one sounding more cheerful.]

"Please ensure that you follow the rules so that we may have a safe journey. With that being said, ALL ABOARD!"

*Indy adjusts Lizzy’s position a bit so she won’t accidentally topple over and hurt herself. If she wakes up with a bump on the head, Indy’s ass is cooked. Iris is scary.*

*He crosses his arms and closes his eyes, finally able to relax a bit now that security won’t catch him. For now.*

“That must be Ingo and Emmet. Heard they’re the subway masters or something of Unova…”

*Indy mutters to himself.*

[The train eventually started to move off, picking up speed as it chugged along the tracks. A subway boss then started to come around, checking people’s tickets.]

*Indy notices the movement from out of the corner of his eye and nearly jumps out of his seat in surprise.*

“AGH-!”

*Indy clutches his chest dramatically, but his heartbeat calms down as he inspects the tiny Pokemon.*

“Wait… I’ve seen one of those before… you’re a Zygarde cell, right? Are you Lizzy’s?”

*Indy hesitated. Should he…?*

*He carefully leaned down to the Zygarde core’s level.*

“Nice to meet you. I’m Indy, Lizzy’s friend. I work for Exceed, but I mean no harm to her, I promise.”

*Indy slowly reaches a hand out to the core, seeing if it’ll trust him…*

[The core eyed him suspiciously....before eventually jumping into his hand]

*Indy sits back up, checking Lizzy once to make sure she’s still ok. Once that’s done, he turns his attention to the Zygarde core.*

“Thanks for trusting me. Soooo… do you have a name? I mean, I guess you can’t really tell me if you do, huh… haha…”

[The Zygarde core shook its head in response to Indy's question.]

[Lizzy groaned a little and shifted]

“Alright, I got it. If I could name you, I’d call you… Zaza. Heheh.”

*Indy grins smugly to himself, very proud of his stupid joke. What a moron—*

*Indy turned his head to look at Lizzy. Was she finally waking up?*

“Liz?”

[The core deadpanned at Indy.]

[Lizzy's eye fluttered open and the first thing she was met with was the train roof. Still quite dazed, she didn't even hear Indy's voice at first.]

"...W.....Where..?"

*Indy hugs Lizzy on instinct.*

“You’re alive! I’m so glad I don’t have to hide a body today.”

*Zaza is now squished in Indy’s palm and pressed against Lizzy’s side… they’re totally fine… right… haha…*

[Lizzy froze, staring straight ahead unblinkingly. "Was he really that worried about someone like me?" She thought to herself. She eventually saw herself accepting the hug.]

[The Zygarde Core was so ready to bite Indy's hand....if it had a mouth.]

*Indy pulls back from the hug, laughing awkwardly.*

“Alright, so I may have fled from security and brought you onto a random train. We’re going to Unova.”

*Indy opens his palm, letting Zaza finally hop away.*

“Sorry, little guy…”

[Zaza squirmed away and hopped into Lizzy’s pocket. She blinked twice at him.]

“…You’re lucky that this is actually the train that I’m taking. What happened?”

*Indy sighs in relief.*

“Thank the hot pocket lords I picked the right one! I thought you were gonna send your robo-Gardevoir Gallade to beat me up.”

*He jokes.*

“You passed out after inhaling Strong Sphere gas. But before that, you let Iris out and they… uh… one-kit KO’d my Salamence with a Moonblast.”

*Indy seemed a bit embarrassed to admit that he got defeated so easily.*

“The other trainer ran away, and that’s when security came. So I grabbed you and ran into the nearest train.”

“Strong…Sphere..?”

[Lizzy tilted her head as if she was trying to remember. After a few seconds it finally clicked.]

“I see…so that’s what happened. Though I’m not surprised that you ran from security.”

[Lizzy deadpanned. Part of her was relived that they didn't get caught though...]

*Indy waves his arms around defensively, whining like a child.*

*What a yapper.*

[Lizzy sighed. What a yapper indeed…]

“So in this case that would make me the villain, right? Since I’m constantly running from you two.”

[A cold chill ran though the train….]

*Indy opens his mouth to speak, but he decides it’s best not to escalate the conversation anymore. To him, Lizzy was indeed still an enemy that he befriended…*

“I don’t think you’re the villain. Maybe the anti-hero, sure. No offense, antiheroes are cool!”

*He shivers when the cold chill hits him…*

"...An anti-hero....I suppose that makes sense as well."

[Lizzy tried to stand up but her legs immediately gave out on her.]

"...this seems to be a much higher concentration than before. Why am I still being so affected...?"

[She seemed to mutter to herself as she managed to drag herself back into the seat. The two voices from the announcement could be heard nearby as if they were approaching.]

*Indy helps her back into her seat, and keeps his respectful distance but is sure to catch Lizzy if she fell down again or anything.*

“Don’t think of it like a derogatory term, Liz… are you still dizzy from the Laquium?”

*Indy raises his head at the voices. The subway masters?*

“I’m fine.”

[Lizzy said rather bluntly. She’s hiding something.]

[The voices finally reached their seats and it turned out to be the Subway Masters, Emmet and Ingo.]

“Good afternoon! I do hope you both are having a pleasant ride. And it’s good to see you again, Lizzy!”

[Emmet said cheerfully and rather professionally. Ingo tipped his hat in acknowledgment.]

“Who’s your friend here?”

“Dizzy Lizzy.”

*Indy muttered to himself. He found that phrase comedic despite the serious situation.*

*Indy smiles at Ingo and Emmet. His grin gets a little strained when Ingo tips his hat. Bald man bald man bald man… don’t laugh Indy don’t you dare laugh.*

“Hey! The name’s Indy. Nice to meet you guys. pppffft…”

“Indy…that’s a verrrry nice name. I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. And this is my twin brother, Ingo.”

[Emmet added, oblivious to Indy’s comment and Lizzy’s tired glare towards Indy. Ingo nodded in agreement to what is brother was saying.]

“We used to run the Battle Subway in the Unova region, but now we conduct the Royal Express heading there.”

“Heh, so I’ve been told! Nice to meet you two.”

*Indy hides a small smirk when Lizzy glares at him.*

“Lizzy’s feeling reaaaally dizzy lately. Thought we might take a vacation to Unova to escape from secur— ahem, I mean, escape from the harsh realities of real life!”

[Emmet blinked twice.]

"Suuure pal."

[Emmet's Galvantula had already made itself comfortable on Lizzy's lap.]

*Awkward silence. Was Indy’s lie really that obvious…? Heh… he tries to change the subject. And also because he’s hungry.*

“……you got any food on this train?”

[Emmet's classic smile immediately re-appeared, going back into his more professional persona.]

"Yess of course! I'll go fetch the menu!"

[With that Emmet dashed out of the train car. Ingo sighed.]

"Forgive him. He's not to fond of you since some of your colleagues raided one of our trains in search of this one here."

[Ingo gestured to Lizzy. Lizzy's ears immediately moved to cover her face out of guilt-- Ingo then realized that he worded that wrong.]

"I-it's not your fault, Lizzy! They're the villains here!"

*Indy fidgets with the collar of his jacket, suddenly looking uncomfortable.*

*Indy pats Lizzy on the back lightly.*

“You’re really awesome, and I’d never turn you in to Exceed. Friends are more important than corporate ladders!”

[She was walking towards a small store, hoping to find something for her splitting headache]

@nyaoha-superfan

//Hi! Thought it was time for them to officially meet in the rp world :)

*Indy happened to be walking back to Exceed after his lunch break. He rounds a corner and almost runs into Liko.*

“Gah— sorry, miss.”

*He pauses. She looked familiar for some reason…*

“Excuse me, do I… know you from somewhere?”

//YEEHEE HAI LIKOFAN :333 I hope you’re doing better now!!! I prefer doing more detailed roleplays to enjoy the experience, so hope you’re up to match my silly enthusiasm 😋🔥✨

[She looks up]

Oh great....

[She sighs]

I'm not in the mood today....

//Thank you I am! I'm really excited :)

*Indy jumps back 5 feet. How? The power of anime.*

“Wait, I recognize you! You’re Liko, from the Rising Volt Tacklers!”

*He pulls out Salamence’s Pokeball, ready to battle.*

“What’s your deal? And where are your friends? Here to cause more ecoterrorism at this local convenience store?”

[She groans]

Please just leave me alone for once.... Today is the worst day for this!

[She starts walking away, shaking her head in disbelief]

“Hey! I know what you’re doing!”

*Indy calls out from behind her, not making an effort to follow her yet.*

“You’re trying to get me to let my guard down, right?! Well you can’t trick me, I’ve got the IQ of a supercomputer!!”

That's not-

[Her headache is getting worse, she didn't feel like arguing with this guy]

Ugh.... Sure.... Whatever....

*Indy crosses his arms as he watches Liko walk out of sight. Any second she’s gonna come back and jumpscare him with that evil cat of hers, he tells himself…*

*Minutes tick by. Nothing happens.*

“AUGH!! I was so sure of myself!! I just let a criminal walk away, I’m such a fool!!!!”

*Indy kicks a wall and hops around in pain.*

“Ow-ow-owie—“

*Nearby pedestrians look at Indy like he’s gone insane. The hell was this guy on…*

[She hears the commotion and looks back]

Oh you have got to be kidding me....

[Ignoring her splitting headache she goes into a store and buys an ice pack, walking back over to Indy]

Here.... Take this....

*Indy looks at Liko incredulously. He refuses.*

“No thank you, miss Liko. I don’t take handouts from fiends!”

*He proceeds to limp away. He slips on a gum wrapper somehow and faceplants onto the ground. Thud.*

“This is the most embarrassing day of my life.”

[She sighs]

Don't be difficult about this.... You're hurt....

[She reaches her hand down]

Please just let me help you....

*Indy (who now has a nosebleed) scooches away from Liko like a scared, injured animal. Is he… afraid of Liko? Dude… come on Indy. You’re better than this, man.*

“I’m fine! Perfectly fine! This happens on a daily basis and I don’t need your pity, Volt Tackler!!”

You're not fine.... Please....

[She's trying not to cry, no one's ever looked at her like that. Like she was.... dangerous]

I promise you I won't hurt you! I wouldn't hurt anyone!

[Her eyes fill up with tears]

*Indy pauses, hesitant. At that moment, Director Spinel’s warnings seemed to fade away. All Indy saw in front of him was a very sad teen.*

“…”

*Slowly, he takes the ice pack from her and nurses his foot with it, looking at Liko with a cautious expression. Not scared anymore.*

“…thanks.”

Y-you're welcome....

[She stutters, wiping her eyes]

D-does it feel any b-better?

[She's still stuttering a little bit, but she looks much happier]

*Indy nods. His nosebleed is still… prominent. He takes a tissue out of his pocket and wipes his nose.*

“It does.”

*He’s feeling better enough to stand, and so he does. The ice pack really helped. He’s a bit embarrassed, but… he’s grateful.*

“Do you want it back? I mean, you paid for it… I’d hate to just take it from you.”

That's okay you can ju-

[She cuts off and winches as she feels pain from her headache]

Ouch....

[She holds her head and leans on a conveniently placed lamp post]

“You alright? Headache, I’m presuming?”

*Indy furrows his eyebrows in concern. Liko was still one of his enemies, but he didn’t care about it at that time.*

“I have some Advil here if you want one…”

*He reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a crinkled Advil pocket. Geez, this dude had everything in his damn pockets—*

Y-yeah....

[She smiles and takes the Advil]

Thanks.... I really appreciate it....

*Indy doesn’t look so defensive anymore. He’s calmed down now. He looks at Liko with a cheery face.*

“Well, Director Spinel gave me direct orders to catch you and bring you to Exceed if I ever found you out in public. Guess it’s time!”

*Oh shoot. He’s dead serious.*

[She groans again]

I really thought that I wouldn't have to do this today.... Kicking me while I'm down huh....

[She laughs half-heartedly]

I guess I should've known.... You're never see me as anything but the enemy.... Let's just get this over with....

*Indy’s jaw drops. Liko’s… going along with it? She’s not sending out her scary cat or her even scarier fairy witch? His brain is short-circuiting.*

“You’re not going to fight back…?”

*Indy shakes himself out of it, muttering to himself.*

“Gah! Get yourself together, Indy. Just… escort her to Exceed without letting her escape.”

*He doesn’t have any restraints on him. He’s just gonna have to walk Liko to Exceed.*

[She sighs]

I'm in no condition to do anything.... I don't really care anymore....

[She's so tired, and her head is still throbbing]

Ugh....

[She's starting to feel dizzy]

*Indy has no choice. He sighs.*

“I didn’t want to resort to this. This is gonna be really awkward.”

*In one swift motion, Indy lifts Liko up and drapes her over his shoulder like she was a big sack of potatoes. He starts walking off towards the direction of Exceed with his new hostage.*

“Strangest day ever…”

[The whole world is spinning]

Well.... I hope you're happy....

[She sighs again]

You got what he wanted.... You'll probably get a raise.... I'm.... happy for you....

[She doesn't really know what she's saying]

*However, Liko didn’t seem to care. Indy didn’t know if she genuinely was too tired to fight back or if this was some kind of trick…*

*Finally, he stops at the entrance of Exceed HQ. They’re here.*

Wonderful....

[You can barely hear her]

Alright.... Well.... I hope you have a nice life....

[She tries to smile.... It's not convincing]

Cause you'll never see me again after this....

*Indy scans his keycard and heads inside.*

“You are very different from how my boss described you. Maybe I just caught you on a bad day.”

*Indy heads to Spinel’s office, but upon entering… he’s not in there. Hm.*

“Oh. I’ll have to tell him later then. Now, what to do with you while we wait…”

*Indy paces around, before coming to a stop.*

“Aha!! I know!”

Hm.... Sure.... A bad day huh....

[She doesn't have it in her to argue]

And whatever could that be....

*Indy heads into an elevator and takes Liko up a couple floors. He gets out, and turns left.*

*He finally sets Liko down in front of a big door. He unlocks it and opens it.*

*Inside the room is… like a neat little hotel room. It’s modern and has a bed, desk, and a bathroom.*

“I’ll be back when I find my boss. Bye!”

*Indy ushers Liko inside, and closes the door. It locks from the outside.*

Well.... He's certainly something....

[She sighs]

I'm too tired for this....

[She curls up on the floor and closes her eyes, her head still aching]

[2 hours later]

*A knock on the door. The doorknob clicks open and Indy opens it, peeking in.*

“Woah! What are you doing on the ground? Wait, are you dead?!”

*He squeezes in, holding a tray of food with one hand, trying not to drop anything.*

“Don’t you dare be dead! I got you dinner and everything!”

[She's so tired.... But she tries to wake up]

H-huh....

[She notices him]

I-it's y-you....

*Indy sighs in relief, spinning his keycard recklessly between his fingers as his panic dwindles. Bad idea.*

“Crap— my card!”

*Indy places the tray of food into Liko’s shaky arms and tries to open the door, but it’s locked tight.*

“This can’t be happening right nowww… I still haven’t had dinner!”

I-I'm s-sorry....

[She holds the tray of food to him]

Y-you c-can h-have t-this....

[She's struggling to not drop it]

*Indy looks at Liko with an air of pity. He refuses, shaking his head and kneeling down to her level.*

“No no, it’s alright. I’m just dramatic and I like complaining. You, on the other hand, need to eat.”

*He mumbles to himself.*

“Dammit, I left my Rotom Phone on the charger in my office. Guess we can only wait for someone to pick up my keycard and unlock the door for us…”

*Indy’s ✨big brother✨ mode activated. Liko’s no longer an enemy to him.*

I-I'm n-not r-really h-hungry....

[She sets the tray down slowly]

Y-you c-can h-have i-it.... O-or g-give i-it t-to s-someone e-else....

[She curls up and closes her eyes again]

*Indy huffs. This girl is just as stubborn as he is.*

“You remind me of me. And I don’t like that.”

*He lifts Liko under her arms like a toddler and raises her off the floor. He walks her over and sets her on the bed, before picking the tray up and bringing it to her.*

“Not a fan of mac and cheese? Come on, everyone’s a fan of mac and cheese! Here comes the airplane!”

*He scoops a spoonful and makes airplane noises.*

I-I'm r-really n-not h-hungry....

[She looks sad]

I-I'm t-tired a-and d-don't f-feel w-well.... P-please j-just l-let m-me b-be....

*Indy sighs… he puts the tray on the desk and pulls up a chair to sit in front of her.*

*If only he knew…*

“Do you want to put our differences aside and talk about it?”

I don't h-hate y-you....

[She avoids eye contact]

I don't want to talk a-about i-it.... I d-don't want to t-talk about h-him!

[She covers her mouth]

I s-should n-not have said that.... I should n-not have s-said that!

*Indy raises his hands in front of him, trying to calm her down. He noticed that she really didn’t like it when he mentioned Spinel…*

“Hey, hey… sorry for bringing him up! I’ll stop talking now, I promise!”

*He scooches his chair a few inches back just to prove his point.*

[She turns away, but you can hear her softly sobbing]

I-I'm s-sorry! I-I'm s-sorry!

[She tries to move away a little bit]

I-I d-didn't m-mean to!

*Indy’s internally panicking. He’s never dealt with an emotional teen before. His big brother mode isn’t helping him at all.*

“Arceus help me, how do I calm a crying girl?!”

*Suddenly, Indy’s Salamence pops out of its Pokeball with a bright flash. It stares at Liko with a grumpy look…*

[She looks at it, surprised]

H-hi....

[She tries to wipe her tears away]

“Salsa, no. Down boy, dow—“

*Indy yelps as his Salamence, who’s hilariously nicknamed Salsa, whacks him down onto the floor with its tail and holds him there.*

“Ow! Hey, you can’t tell me to get down, I’m your trainer! Salsa, look at me when I’m talking to you!!”

*Salsa ignores him and sniffs Liko, before nuzzling her face and letting out a low, soothing rumble. It seemed to sense her distress.*

Grrrmmm…

[She giggles a little at Indy getting whacked by Salsa. But after that, she pets Salsa slowly]

I-I'm okay.... Just b-bad m-memories....

[She tries to smile a little]

I'll b-be a-alright....

*Salsa trills in contentment when Liko seemed to cheer up. Indy stays trapped on the floor, grumbling to himself like a pouty kid.*

“Thanks, Salsa. Now pretty please, let me up?”

*Salsa sticks its tongue out at Indy and goes back to nuzzling Liko, being careful because of its large size and tough scales.*

[She smiles even more]

Awww thanks :)

[She looks down at Indy and laughs a little again]

Let him up please....

*Salsa immediately lifts its tail up when Liko asks it to. Indy groans, getting up and dusting himself off. He’s trying not to smile.*

“You really saved me there, Liko. I was feeling like a damsel in distress, trapped by the big scary dragon…”

*Salsa rolls its eyes and chirps at Liko, lowering its head as if asking for headpats.*

You're welcome....

[She notices and pets Salsa on the head again]

Salsa's not scary....

“He sure is scary in battle, I’ll give you that. You’ve seen him firsthand. He’s a real toughie to beat! And yet… you… sigh. You beat him.”

*Indy looks embarrassed to even bring that up again. Salsa growls in happiness and licks Liko.*

[She giggles]

He's just a big softy at heart! A true gentleman!

[She smiles and giggles again]

*Indy chuckles, looking at Salsa and Liko like a proud big bro.*

“Guess I can’t disagree on that.”

*He sits back down on the chair.*

“What do you suggest we do to pass the time? It’ll probably be a while before someone saves us.”

[She smiles even brighter]

Yeah!

[But then her smile falters a little bit, however she fixes it quickly]

Uh.... Know any good games?

*He thinks for a sec.*

“Man, if only I brought some board games. I guess we can only play lame ones like patty-cake.”

*He suddenly lights up. An idea (finally) comes to his mind!*

“Wait, I know!”

*He digs around in his left pocket. Nothing but lint. He switches to his right, and finds something. Indy takes out 2 mini Pokemon action figures: a Totodile and a Quaxly.*

“Check these collectibles out! We can entertain ourselves the non-boring way now!”

They're cool....

[She yawns, still tired]

Perhaps I should.... rest a bit first....

[She mumbles to herself]

Just a bit.... Only rest for a bit....
