If your Altaria is strong enough, Grusha would 100% ask to do a fly along with you. Show you his favourite viewing spots around Paldea, maybe even race you in the sky. He isn’t just a master of the board you know. Just don’t visit Tulip, unless you want a shoe thrown at you.

When the Paldea weather is feeling particularly nice, and Grusha is feeling Social, he’ll invite you and some of his fellow gym leaders to picnics, his Altaria is always out of its ball, so if you bring out yours, the two will play together and bring you random things they find.

Once your Altaria brought back a whole ass Meowth. Just grabbed its tail and plopped it in front of you, Iono almost killed Grusha when she tried to Grab the Meowth and it jumped on his face. And Grusha's Altaria just watched it all happen. Probably disappointed.

Whenever Grusha needed to contact you or his fellow Gym leaders but for some reason or another couldn’t physically go, he would send his Altaria to you with a letter. Sure there's a mail service and yes he has a Rotom phone he almost never uses; but he'd rather guarantee it would make it to you the same day. Soon enough your Altaria started picking up the same habit and now you both send letters to each other pretty regularly.

Blame Grusha for how Competitive your Altaria has become towards him. You battled and lost once, and now your Altaria has its own Villain arc and revenge story. Your Altaria has and will continue to give you the cold Cloud wing whenever you lose to Grusha in literally anything. It could be a game of rock paper scissors! Boom talk to the cloud. And his does the same thing. Drama queens the pair of them.

Altaria’s are known to be relatively calm, quiet Pokémon. Yours and Grusha's. Huskies in Cloud form. If they are bored all you will hear is angry bird cloud noises. Sounds like sirens going off if it's both of them together.

That being said, any other time, they are quiet and almost cat-like, often just minding their own business, exploring the area, bringing you both things or just warming your lap. Sometimes your Altaria's will swap places. Though yours prefers to sit on Laps and Grusha's much prefers to just sit on your head and blind you.

Romantic:

Instead of battling against each other, he will battle alongside you, travelling the wilds of Paldea, fighting wild Pokémon side by side. He often uses this time to wind down after a long day rather than testing his skills against your Altaria. Seeing how the pair work together is inspiring and often strengthens his bond with you as well.

Instead of Flying side by side, he’ll ask if you want to fly on his Altaria with him. If you don’t want to and would rather fly  side by side; not trusting his Altaria can handle both of you, he won’t complain since it will make you feel safe and he cares about that much more. 

But if you DO say yes to his offer, Grusha will always make sure to keep his Arm around your waist so you feel secure with him. Your Altaria will often fly alongside you or directly ahead acting almost as a scout, probably looking for the Meowth.

Races are off limits to him when you're an actual Couple. At Least Riding your Altarias. To him, your safety is far more important than a statement. So more often than not, your Altarias will race against each other without the two of you. Think of it as a time trial. Don’t try and convince him, he will stand his ground. Though if you want to ride your Altaria he won’t stop you, he just won’t be on his. He'd rather be able to catch you if something were to happen then hope and pray.

On a lighter note, Cuddle sessions during an outing are a must for him. Grusha has taken you on many a sightseeing journey and it usually ends with the two of you sitting under a tree, Altaria’ either side of you with his arms encasing you in a warm and safe embrace, his scarf lowered off his face. Your Altarias tend to take the rare opportunity to nudge his face, much to his dismay. Yours headbutted his chin once. Not by accident either. It choose violence.

Letter delivering if long gone, i have said it before and have said it again he will NOT leave you letters. If he has something to say he is saying it directly to you. If worst comes to worst he will dare to use his Rotom phone to video call you. That doesn’t mean you won’t receive a visit from his Altaria. Grusha will instead give his Altaria gifts for you. And if you send yours with a gift back you may actually kill this man with how quickly he’ll fall deeper in love with you.

Your Altarias competitive nature has evolved from which one of you will win to, which Altaria can hold their person’s attention the longest. Seems both Altaria’s have an attention problem. If you and Grusha are being cute together in the comfort of your own home and your Altarias are out of their balls. Oh look, suddenly there is a fluffy blue head next to you. And who's butt is that in your face?

They have interrupted your dates before, and have broken things, the amount of vases you have replaced… Many an Altaria time out has been given on both ends. At this point the pair of you are convinced they are scheming against you both. They may seem all cute, cloudy and innocent but deep down, they are plotting world domination and it's starting with the vases! Hide the vases…
