There was no contesting the magnitude of Sinnoh's Battle Frontier; that was, at least, Fire's whole reaction to the set-up, to all that it offered, asked for, and gave tenfold in return. The first word he'd heard about it had him thinking smaller scale than what it truly turned out to be. A layout where trainers could battle in any way and under any circumstances that could be imagined. It had to just be a pretty big gym building, right?

Hah!

Fire got lost in its world, sometimes rather literally, though not all the time regrettably.

Especially not when the Battle Factory's beep boopity halls would lead him to a rather grand treasure...

It was far from the most interesting of layouts in Fire's eyes. An imitation of some high-tech laboratory building, just like you'd see in the movies. The distant and nearby whirring of electronics in operation didn't bother him so much, nor the way that the sound of life easily left his ears for such electronics.

Kinda, anyway.

Okay, so maybe it was kinda creepy, in a detached way.

That didn't matter though. It didn't stop him idling down its hallways in his breaks, wanting to scope out the frontier in its entirety. Some of the rooms? Boring. Most rooms? Locked with a key card slot or pass code device beside it. Dull.

One room though, thankfully, fortunately, magically, was not locked.

And it had to be one of the best rooms in the entire building.

Arcade machines, from wall to wall and inbetween. Most operable too, and—holy shit, didn’t he used to play that as a kid back home? And that? Fire’s feet don’t know which way to turn, which to approach first, but make the decision soon enough, eyes wide in awe and finger pressing a button hesitantly. Not out of any thought that he shouldn’t be doing this, but if it will even respond in the first place.

It does.

And that was the story of how Fire gamed undisturbed for the rest of his life.

( If only. )

20. — wishing (welcome back!!!)

@factoriprince said: 20 for drabblee

one word writing prompts | 20— wishing.

“so, what are your plans for the future?”

it begins with a simple question, asked for the sake of filling in an awkward silence between a group of children with little in common and no personal connection to one another.

thorton, the oldest, takes her and lucy’s pause as an invitation to answer the question first. he’s all clear eyes and dressed up ambition, and he doesn’t hesitate to describe his plans. “once i finish school, i’m going to build a technological empire.” as he speaks, moon watches him with mild interest. he definitely has the intellect to achieve his dream, and she wonders if the next time she meets him, he’ll be one of those high-flying CEOs, all starched suits and polished brilliance. he continues to ramble on about his desire to invent and innovate, until lucy interrupts him mid-sentence. “i plan on following my brother’s footsteps and joining the international police,” she declares, arms crossed. while thorton is all cool intensity, lucy is bright hot determination. she’s a little too pushy for moon’s tastes, but she recognizes the wide-eyed adoration that lucy holds for her older brother. lucy’s got high expectations for herself but has proven time and time again that she’s capable of putting in the work to reach her goals– moon admires her drive, even if she doesn’t appreciate the girl’s moodiness.

“and what about you, moon?”

three pairs of eyes turn to meet her own and moon is overwhelmed by a sudden wave of panic. standing in the presence of such big dreams makes her feel small, insignificant.

“uhhh…”

she’s only fourteen and people expect her to have her life together, planned out to a t. she knows she desperately wants to be someone, wants to make a name for herself, wants to leave behind a legacy to be proud of— it’s just the how that leaves her feeling helplessly lost.

she’s not like hau, with his perpetual optimism and his constant drive to improve. she’s not like lillie either, who still finds the strength to be warm and kind and forgive, despite all that she’s suffered at the hands of her mother. in the beginning, she thought maybe she could find some camaraderie in gladion, but all those thoughts flew out the window the moment he ran into the fray at aether paradise to confront his demons head on.

they’re expecting her to answer, to detail some equally enterprising goal, but moon comes up empty. she doesn’t know where she’s headed, is pretty sure that all she’s accomplished at this point is the result of following other people’s adventures in lack of her own. she falters, considers weaving an elaborate lie about how she intends to become an architect or an astronaut or anything rather than saying i don’t know.

lying is more trouble than its worth so in lieu of offering the truth, she deflects. “do you ever wish that it was possible to push the fast-forward button and skip all the boring parts until you get to the part where you’ve gotten everything figured out?”

thorton frowns at her and starts to explain why its logistically impossible for such a device to even exist, while lucy huffs and rolls her eyes as he rants.

moon tries to find the nearest exit.

44. Legend

send a number for a drabble

44. Legend

“ Legends say that there isn’t always a stick up his ass. ” 

There is revulsion in the sideways glare Thorton jabs him with. But Gold could care less, winning a giggle that is smothered as quickly as it came from the head nurse of this Pokemon Center. 

The Frontier Brain busies himself with the apparatus of the healing station, speaking (to himself - certainly not Gold) every now and then as he re-calibrates his knowledge of the system to Johtoan specifications. Nurses now busy providing alternative services to the waiting trainers, a quiet Gold leans against the counter looking out towards the lobby. Though his attention turns whenever the shorty mutters a random-ass percentage. Gold learns that it’s two versions back - discovers that he’s more bothered with that fact than the highbrow report of it.

The fix is quick, the tune-up even quicker. The nurses are impressed and grateful, bowing to the guy, and Thorton is as he always is. Gold only pipes up with an offer to accompany him out the facility, having been the line that pulled the Factory Head in. Thorton jokes about a fee and neither of them actually laugh.

Outside, Gold says goodbye with a final thanks, and Thorton nods, offhandedly adding that the older model is what prolonged the repair, not that Gold asked or anything. Nevertheless, he accepts the words, straining it for an implicit comment. And Thorton takes off back to his Sinnoh duties, preferring the hum of industry over strings of antiquity.

-  a new frontier.

@factoriprince​ requested for a starter!!

[ エリカ ] ❀ ; Erika’s first trip to the nearby region that was known as Johto had been when she was no older than a child. And to her child’s self, the region was nothing more but a treasure trove of new, exciting places that were simply begging to be explored, knowledge asking to be uncovered.

She was much older now, yet the sense of wonderment still remained. There were still many myths and legends of Johto that had yet to be known and the prospect of learning more of the rich culture that encompassed the entirety of the region filled her with anticipation. It was always how she felt when she stepped down from the Magnet Train, which was what made the Johto region so much more accessible that it had been in the past, and would most likely be how she felt even if she had come to unveil the many legends untold.

But this visit differed from the others. No, she was not here to learn more of myths and legends, but to pay a visit to the establishment called the ‘Battle Frontier’, a name that greatly intrigued the battle enthusiast in her. Spoken of as where many a trainer gathered in pursuit of bettering their skills, what more could she have asked for of the place? There was nothing more the Gym Leader would rather do during the break between her duties than to visit such a renown place, and to personally experience what this ‘Battle Frontier’ would offer.

The sight of the grandeur entrance rendered Erika speechless, a light flush tinging her cheeks followed by widened eyes. It was unlike anything that she had seen before, the entrance only a small part of the grander structure that was what she assumed, formed the entirety of the Battle Frontier. To call it all a sight to behold was an understatement, though she eventually shook herself out of her daze and entered its vicinity, her wandering gaze taking in each and every sight laid before her. 

What her gaze eventually settled upon was what appeared to be a facility of sorts, its dome like structure though not flamboyant as the others, intriguing her all the same. One in question was the castle-like facility that was to her left upon entering the establishment, though its imposing nature had lead her to instead make her way over to the facility called the ‘Battle Factory’. Having heard the explanation from the ladies in the reception area, the battling system of the Battle Factory was the one that intrigued her most, so all the more reason for her to have come here. Now, for her to figure out how she would be able to experience said facility..

(Thorton) You remind me of.. a Maractus

“As you can see in the actual model of a Maractus, I do not resemble one. Not even close, but I’m curious as to how you came to this comparison.”

“Really, I should be offended by this but since you remind me of the many other anon-grey faced idiots I will ignore this little charade.”

Wow, a scientist! You must have some kind of wholesome contribution to pokemon studies right? Nothing shady or suspicious here, no way!

“did you really think you could escape?”

choose a prompt | DANGER MEME.

sabrina drops down from the window, landing heavily on her feet. the impact travels all the way up to her knees, a sharp ache she ignores. she’s got to move.

panting, she staggers into a narrow alleyway, stepping quickly and as quietly as she can. trash litters the ground and there’s the hiss and clatter as a wild pokemon flees at the sound of her footsteps. in the distance, she hears voices and the crackle of a radio.

“the suspect has fled on foot. we are currently in pursuit. i repeat, we are currently in pursuit. send backup.”

the sound grows closer, and sabrina grits her teeth. she ducks behind a dumpster, landing awkwardly and biting back a groan when her back comes into contact with brick. her skin is burnt raw and even slight contact feels like sandpaper. her breath comes out in wheezes— both from the running and what she suspects are cracked ribs. she’s faintly aware of a cut somewhere on the back of her head; her hair is matted with blood and she’s starting to feel dizzy.

she holds her breath as the police officers pass by her hiding place. she waits a moment, then two, until she can no longer sense their presence. then she’s off again, slinking in the shadows of the winding streets.

suddenly there’s a buzz in the air and she feels her blood freeze, the tiny hairs on the back of her neck standing up.

she coils back, puts as much distance between the two of them, but she’s a moment too late.

“mangezone, thunderbolt.”

suddenly every single nerve is on fire and her body goes rigid— its pure agony, and she lets out a pained scream.

the moment the current stops, she folds to the ground, landing hard on her back. she can taste metal in her mouth and distantly realizes she’s bitten her tongue.

for a moment she sees nothing, and simply lays there twitching, until thorton approaches with cold eyes. “did you really think you could escape?” he asks, voice uninflected.

there’s a hundred thoughts running through her head.

i dont want to go away again, i can’t live in a cage, i am going to die, i can’t let them take me.

“i’m going to kill you for that,” she snarls, eyes flashing and teeth bared— all she can feel is red-hot rage. he doesn’t react to her threat, doesn’t even blink, and this makes her all the more furious.

he murmurs an order to his pokemon as her hands flash.

▽:  the first job my muse ever had

Between both of his parents, Jax had everything he needed as he was growing up. However, once he was old enough he applied for a few jobs so that he could lift some of the financial burden from his parents’ shoulders, even though it wasn’t needed. At the age of sixteen he began working at a local auto shop, where he learned the ins and outs of automotive mechanics. He worked there for two years.

➹:  what my muse would do on their 21st birthday if they had all the money in the world

If Jax had all the money in the world, the first thing he would do is buy his parents a new house. He truly appreciates his parents for raising him and his sister with all the love and care physically possible. He would spend the rest of the day buying his sister anything and everything she asked for – which she would surely take advantage of.

He likely wouldn’t buy anything for himself, even if it was his own birthday.

          Not too long ago, Volkner got a strange phone call. He didn’t expect Thorton of all people to ask him for help. Really, Volkner was a mess as it is—though well, he could be considered normal at this rate. He leaned against a lamp post and waited patiently for him, not seeming to care that the lamp was flickering on and off. He surfed on his phone as he watched the time tick slowly. It didn’t take long before it reached the precise time they were supposed to meet.

          And sure enough, Thorton was there. He slipped his phone in his pocket and kept it on vibrate in case he was needed. The light above him was still flickering, but there weren’t any signs of sudden sparks and whatnot.

          ❛ Hey. Leviathan’s in there. ❜ He pointed up at the street lamp, and two curious eyes came into view along with colorful blue electricity. The Rotom let out a snicker and wallowed its way out, only to get upright and get right up to Thorton in greeting. There were many things Volkner’s Rotom could slip into. Long as it contained some force of electricity, it could power up anything as it pleased. A pokedex? Sure, if there was one available. It couldn’t talk like a RotomDex, though, or at least from what he knew.

          ❛ Some people call my Rotom as Levi or Athan to make it easier. I’m ready to see yours. ❜ He spoke calmly even though his Rotom, Leviathan, was moving in zig-zags in front of Thorton excitingly. Its movements did seem a little dull however, as though it was mature. Leviathan was a curious Rotom, and a rather calm one compared to most. It surprisingly listened to Volkner, even though that wasn’t apparent quite yet. Once Leviathan got a good look of Thorton, it swished back to Volkner, but it wasn’t playing with the light above this time.

' Green ' for Zinnia and Thorton? Interesting combo :0

▲ -  “The chances of you experiencing emesis is- haa…- 80%. If you will, please, cease your sporadic movements, I can say with certainty the numbers will…- urk!- will go down.” 

   At her somewhat concerned tone, Thorton shot an exasperated glare before curling up in pain. Why did he let Zinnia talk him into eating that spicy ramen. He knew his tender stomach couldn’t take it. Now Thorton was certain being around Zinnia was detrimental to his health, overall safety, and pristine IQ.

   He only hoped his face wasn’t as green as his attire.

“Its been weeks, he hasn’t opened his lab for anyone. Not even his new assistant.” 

Remy let out a groan, it had been a few weeks since she’s started working at the Factory. It was her dream job, she basically begged the hiring representative for the position. Anything to be closer to her literal hero. 

However, everything was not as she hoped. Sure she was pretty set, they gave her her own little apartment that was on the Battle Frontier. These days she just goes to work and file papers, occasionally she’s set to battle some trainers but its usually by request only. The other staff couldn’t really do much, they only talked about possible reasons why. A bunch of scientists, all they think about are numbers.. cause and effect. 

Remy was loosing her mind. 

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. When she came into the office this morning she wondered why no one had BOTHERED to go in there and see what he was doing. Approaching the doorway, she began to bang on it for attention. There was no answer. Honestly, she was fed up. She came here to work with her icon, and he was apparently throwing some fit. 

It was time to fight fire with fire, “Open the door Thorton, or i’m gonna blow it down!” Reaching in her lab coat she pulled out her Scoliopede and called him into battle. 

“If you don’t open this door he’s gonna use a hyper beam!!”

♡ + protect (lucy) ♡ + love (jax) ♡ + pine (miyu)

♡ + protect (lucy)

Anyone who can put up with Lucy’s awful personality long enough to become her friend will find themselves with a gutsy bodyguard -- whether they like it or not. Lucy is not the type to allow anyone to abuse those she cares about (other than herself of course, but only when they deserve it!). She puts the safety and happiness of her her loved ones before her own without a second thought, which makes her a great ally to have on your side contrary to popular belief.

♡ + love (jax)

When it comes to love, the people Jax associate with it the most are his family. He loves his parents and his younger sister, Lucy. It’s very painful for him to know that his supposed death hurt them so much -- and that not only could he not do anything about it, but he was the cause of their grief. As much as he wished to console them somehow he also knows that his family is strong, even without him. He stays our of their lives to keep them safe but can’t help but check in on them now and again to make sure their safe.

♡ + pine (miyu)

Miyu loves the smell of pine trees. She does not remember much from before she moved to Alola, but the aroma of the pine forest surrounding Snowpoint is one of her most prominent memories. The scent always brings her a bittersweet sense of nostalgia as well as hopeful anticipation of future adventures.

Did you know? Certain pine needles can be used to make tea. One cup includes over twice the Vitamin C found in a glass of orange juice -- and it’s a delicious source of other vitamins, too. Pine Needle Tea is one of Miyu’s favorite beverages to enjoy on the road.
