The sound of a city dedicated to ghosts really caught the boy's attention. That would certainly be a place he'd want to visit if he was ever given the chance, one he thought perhaps he'd be able to handle even on his own if it came to that.

❝A-Are there . . . a lot of . . . p-people there . . . ?❞ That of course would be his only concern. It was at least a nice thought to imagine going on a trip.

❝I-I like being i-in the league! . . . I-I do . . .❞ Not only did he have a gym to run though, but the tournaments as well in lieu of an elite four, but he also had school on non-gym days as well. Even so he did manage to find some time for his own hobbies. ❝I-It is . . . all I-I've got . . . I just get curious . . . about exploring . . . that's all . . .❞ He owed the league more than he was willing to admit after all.

He was half tempted to offer to take the kid sometime, but he was a stranger and would probably freak the kid out. "Hrm, Kanto is nice, if you like ghosts you should check out Lavender Town, it's a town focused on ghosts and making sure they are at peace." he offered with a slight smile, "They also have some pretty woods and stuff to explore around in." he offered gently thinking of places and things the boy would like.

He barely kept his eyes from narrowing at the work comment. Ahh, he heard the ghost-type gym leader was young, so this kid must be him.

Kids really shouldn't be working they should be exploring and learning about the world, but the world isn't perfect or ideal. Case and point, his job existed. "It's a pain isn't it, you need money to do things, but once you have a way to make money you lose the time to do things." he settled on as a reply.

For most children, school trips were an exciting chance to catch a glimpse of a potential future for them to pursue in one way or another. To meat and learn from esteemed trainers. For Allister though, it was exciting for an entirely different reason.

Trips like today's visit to Ballonlea's gym were a chance for the shy boy to see his colleagues shine. Not many of them would recognize him without his mask and uniform, especially considering he tended to blend in among the sea of children, and his quiet nature didn't exactly draw attention. Though that didn't bother him any.

Today's trip though, Allister did intend to treat a little differently. After convincing his teacher his guardian would be meeting him in the neighboring city, the boy remained behind as the rest of his class took their leave. Perhaps it wasn't entirely a lie, as he did plan to meet with someone here.

Be it due to their closer age than most of the other gym leaders, or their close proximity, the ghostly boy had taken a liking to the new fairy-type gym leader. He was a lot less scary than the previous one at least. Because of this, Allister decided to take the opportunity and try and spend some time with the fairy-type specialist.

Swaying his feet idly as he waited in the gym's lobby for the older male to appear, still maskless and adorning his school uniform, Allister hoped he wouldn't be putting the other out with his request.

He was always the one to seek out Bede after all, partially due to his own insistence. He wasn't sure how the other would react to the boy's current situation, and he'd kept the secret this long.

Upon spotting the fairy-type specialist, Allister slipped off of the bench and rushed over, grasping the sleeve of Bede's coat to catch his attention with a soft smile.

❝I-I . . . hope you don't mind . . . s-since I was . . . uhm . . . already h-here . . . I thought . . . uhm . . . we could . . . h-hang out . . . I-If you weren't . . . b-busy . . .❞

[thegalarghost]

Allister's focus was drawn to the ghosts for a moment, a smile playing on his lips before returning his attention to Vicious with a tilt of his head.

❝I-It . . . is? M. . . Maybe it . . . would be a-a . . . good place t-to v-visit . . . one d-day. . .❞ At least for a starting point. Similar would help to bring the boy some comfort if he were to ever leave his home region. Especially if he were to do so alone. ❝Wh . . . What is . . . Kanto like . . . ?❞

Perhaps it was his age showing with the barrage of questions, but Allister couldn't help but be curious. he didn't often find himself able to hold a conversation this long, never the less with someone who seemed willing to humor his questions, so he would take advantage of it.

Once more, the boy found himself fidgeting with the hem of his sleeves, his gaze falling to the ground.

❝I-I uhm . . . I get th-that . . . the w-work thing . . . i-it's uhm . . . Why I . . . h-haven't gone anywhere . . . ❞ If the man hadn't put together now that he was the ghost-type gym leader, he had likely now given it away with his admission. Not many kids his age had jobs after all.

Vicious nodded in greeting to the ghost type who appeared as the Rotom zipped over to greet the fellow ghost type with a buzz. Vicious noted the wariness of the Pokemon, he wasn't worried about him too much, he had no reason to cause it to attack him, but he would keep an eye on him regardless. "Paladea? It's pretty similar to here in my option, then again, I'm from Kanto, so I imagine people say that about Kanto and Jhoto but, it's always fun to see new sights and Pokemon and stuff," he replied with a shrug. "I don't get to explore a whole bunch due to I'm usually visiting for work but I try and take some time to explore a bit."

(( Doing some shopping in a bit, but like this for a lil starter! ))

[thegalarghost]

Allister nodded, relieved to hear bout the Coviknight's condition, he never liked hearing about pokemon getting harmed, though he was well aware of how cruel nature could be.

The purple glow of his eyes beneath the mask returned as the ghost appeared, his cowlick following the the ghost's movements. Reaching into his backpack, Allister withdrew a dusk ball, releasing the mischievous ghost from it's confines.

Looming behind the boy, Gengar looked the strange man and his ghost over with a grin. Despite the pokemon's grin though, there was a wariness to be found in the ghost's demeanor, protective of his trainer. Though as long as the man didn't prove to be a threat, he'd play nice as the usually timid boy did seem to doing well in this conversation.

❝I've uhm . . . never left . . . G-Galar . . .❞ He briefly glanced back toward the gym. Perhaps one day he'd have the opportunity. After all, he never did have a chance to have a proper adventure of his own, skipping over the entire process when he was given his position in the league. ❝Wh-What is . . . it like . . . there?❞

He let out a small smile at that. "He's a tough bird, and is completely fine, we dodged the rocks but it was too much of an annoyance to both of us to fly around," he reassured the kid.

Vicious's head tilted slightly as the kid talked, listening to him. So he specialized in ghost types like the gym lead- wasn't one of the gym leaders a kid? Well shit, oh well, he wasn't trying to arrest him so he would let it slide unless it became an issue. At the words of yes to meeting the Rotom, Vicious's bag jumped, earning a chuckle from the man as he opened it and a red Rotom shot out buzzing around the duo excitedly. "I would be honoured if we want to meet up," Vicious replied as he chuckled at the Rotom's antics. He nodded at the Ceruledge comment. "They look pretty cool, every time I go to Paldea, I look for one. I haven't had much luck then again I am blindly searching for one," he admitted with a grin.

“Have you heard anything I’ve said? I feel like I’m talking to no one”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, now what are they saying?”

“You need this break, [name]. You’re pushing yourself far too much. I understand why, trust me, I understand, but you can’t do this to yourself. You’re going to burn out”

“I never said I was a good influence”

“I wouldn’t be doing this with you if I didn’t trust you”

“I absolutely don’t understand you sometimes”

“Do you ever sleep in?”

“I’ll do anything for you. I need you to know that”

“Whatever you want to say, you can say it through the door”

“I’m sorry you got caught up in all of this. You shouldn’t have to worry about it”

“I don’t want to talk to you. Go away”

“Get away from me. Just get the hell away from me, [name]. I trusted you”

“Please, [name], I can’t… I’m not safe to be around. I just hurt everyone and- and I don’t want to do that to you”

“I’m just… scared. I- I haven’t told anyone, but I want to tell you”

“Y’know, this isn’t exactly how I’d thought you’d see me without a shirt. I thought this part would be… sexier”

“You haven’t said a damn word to me after that night! You haven’t even looked in my direction!”

“What the hell has gotten into you? You said you trusted me, that you loved me-!”

“I do actually love you, but… Clearly I shouldn’t”

“It doesn’t concern you. We had an argument - that’s it”

“I thought you were better than this”

“You are truly stupid, [name]. Were you even thinking when you decided to pull this little stunt of yours?”

“What did you think was going to happen? Did you think I wasn’t going to find out? Did you think it’d remain a secret forever?”

“Let me take care of you”

"You'll always be safe here."

Gentle Care pt 2 || Accepting

Allister clutched his mask to his chest, a small smile playing on his lips. He'd never been one to care about grand gestures. Small reassurances were all he required to be contented. Especially now, some may question the man's words, but for better or worse, Allister truly believed them. And in a sense, the boy still felt indebted to him after all he'd done for him.

After all, those years ago, if Rose hadn't offered him the position he still held today, it would be anyone's guess where Allister would be today. He had even been kind enough to keep their arrangement a secret. The vast majority of the league still didn't know why the boy's parents were always unusually absent from every match. Most would probably disapprove of a child as young as he was residing alone, would have likely sent the boy to live in an orphanage, the sheer idea of which terrified the boy.

He preferred to be alone with the ghosts after all, and it allowed him to further deepen his bond with the dead! It wasn't as though the boy was lacking for anything, he was able to focus upon his schooling and the gym without worrying about anything, it was all taken care of for him so long as he followed the rules. And that part was easy.

So, despite what anyone said, Allister would always be grateful to Rose, and still felt safe in his presence. The absence of his mask and the lessened struggle to speak plenty proof of that.

❝Th-Thank you . . . M-Mr. Rose. I-I've been . . . getting br-braver . . . I . . . I think . . .❞

Naturally, League meetings tended to be boring for the boy, much of what was spoken about going right over his head, but as a league member he was expected to attend regardless. And most unfortunately of all, he was often expected to remove his mask within the meeting room, it was just fortunate he was comfortable enough with the other league members to tolerate it.

While he tried his best to listen to the words being spoken, Allister found his gaze fixed upon the table before him, lost in thought over what he would do when the meeting was over. While he wanted to inquire with the other members if any of them wanted to spend some time together, he didn't want to put anyone out, so he'd most likely take the next flying taxi home.

Hearing his name called out so suddenly snapped him out of his thoughts, large violet eyes looking toward the new champion. Lately, he had been growing more comfortable in Gloria's presence, especially since she seemed to to try and help the cause by involving the ghostly boy more and more.

His head lulled to the side at the sudden question posed to him, only for her to answer her own question before he even had the opportunity to. He blinked in confusion for a moment as he registered just what she had said, and why it directed at him specifically. Well of course his ghosts exercised everyday, they had to be ready for new- OH!

IT WAS A JOKE!

❝O-Oh! I g-get it!❞ A slow smile crept onto his face as he gigged at the play on words. ❝I-I gotta . . . tell that o-one to Gengar . . . later. I uhm . . . I-I think he'd . . . like it❞

Gentle Care pt 2

Gentle Care was my best rated meme of '24, so here's another one! part 1

"Give my hand a little squeeze. See? I'm right here."

"It's okay to cry, you know."

"Are you cold? Here - take my jacket -"

"Rest your head on my lap."

"Let's get you clean."

"The water's warm but not too hot."

"Here - some tissues. They're the soft kind."

"You can close your eyes."

"You'll always be safe here."

"Shh... hey... relax... that's it... you can fall asleep..."

"You can say you love me, I won't hold it against you."

"Take a deep, slow breath."

"I know how it feels to be so afraid you're scared to even breathe."

"I know more than you think."

"You can trust me, it'll be okay."

"Let me see."

"I know you're ashamed. But it's okay. I won't judge you."

"Is it okay if I hug you?"

"Hold still. I have a bandage."

"I'm not great at first aid, but you clearly need my help."

"Hey... I know you don't want to. But you need to eat."

"Careful, it's soup. I mean - I mean it's hot. It's also... soup."

"I'm not going to let anyone hurt you."

"The night is long and cold. But we'll be warm and safe here."

"I can tell you a joke. Or make a fool of myself. I just want to see you smile."

"There's so much goodness out there. You'll see it again."

"Don't tell anyone, but... I love you."

"We could always make it better."

"This is going to sting, you know? Just - brace for it."

"I'm not letting anyone hurt you, not whilst I'm about."

@hibanakabu

Allister's feet kicked idly as he sat, perched on one of the benches in the League's Locker room, awaiting the tournament to start. Even if he tended to be quiet, the ghostly boy enjoyed simply being around the other members, though with the anticipation for the crowd of strangers, he kept his mask tightly secured to his face for comfort.

A timid smile played on his face despite being concealed as he watched the others conversing to occupy their time. Sometimes, he supposed it was nice to be among the living. Nice to not be alone.

When a particular tone caught his attention, Allister found himself drawn to investigate. Hopping off of the bench and peering around a set of lockers, he spotted Kabu speaking on the phone to someone - though he couldn't understand a single word of what was being said.

While the boy knew the man wasn't originally from Galar, this was the first time he recalled hearing him speaking in his native tongue, finding himself almost entranced as he listened to the foreign words. It was a jarring difference from the usual dialect he was accustom to.

Sure, he knew it would be considered rude to listen to the private conversation, but he'd always thought it was neat to hear other languages, a unique change when a foreign trainer came around for the league challenge. Unfortunately for him though, the school wasn't yet offering language classes for his grade, likely the only classes that would prove useful to him honestly. And he didn't speak anything but Galarian and Sign himself.

Not that it mattered though . . . he'd only barely manage to stutter out any other language he tried to learn. Even his sign tended to be shaky and uncertain.

When the fire-type specialist turned suddenly, clearly noticing the boy peering from behind the lockers, Allister nearly jumped out of his skin. Quickly turning, Allister rushed back to his seat on the bench, hoping that Kabu wouldn't be too mad at him for listening.

❝You uhm . . . you c-can . . . ❞ As far as he knew, there was no qualms with personal flight, most simply preferred Galar's offered methods. A small gasp of surprise escaped him at hearing about the man's encounter with Tinkatons. The boy had heard about such things, but wasn't really sure they were true. ❝C-Corviknight isn't . . . h-hurt . . . r-right?❞ Even if he was speaking in the past tense, he was worried for the bird.

❝I-I have . . . rotom phone . . . b-but my team . . . u-um . . .❞ Allister wasn't entirely sure if the man was aware the boy owned any pokemon, never mind the fact he was a gym leader. ❝. . . i-is all ghosts. Th-They're . . . all I-I um . . . c-can use . . .❞ Not that he really minded. He actually possessed a unique connection to them after all.

❝I-I'd like to u-uhm . . . meet them. I-I could . . . let out G-Gengar.❞ The boy's ace would likely commend him for holding a conversation so long as well. ❝C-Ceruledge w-would be a-aces to a-add to the team! I've n-never . . . seen a real one b-before though . . .❞ He'd never left he region after all due to his duties to the league after all.

Vicious offered the kid a smile at the returned greeting shifting a bit to sit down properly. "I have a Corvidknight, so I'll use that to travel unless this region like Alola and doesn't like people flying on their own Pokemon." he admitted with a soft grin, "Though can't be as bad as Paldea, I had Tinkaton line smash rocks at me, made travel almost impossible through the air." He let out a sheepish grin. "Afaird the only ghost type I have right now is Rotom which lives in some of my tech, been thinking of getting a Ceruledge though. If you like you can meet my Rotom."
