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.

"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."

Someone stayed up a liiiiitle too late playing games and is now paying the price, practically falling asleep.

[thegalarghost]

The man's patient and calm demeanor were greatly appreciated by the boy. Most tended to get frustrated with his struggles, which tended to only make the situation worse, or they'd simply give up and leave the boy to his solitude.

❝Y-You t-too . . . M-Mr Vic . . . ❞ While words still came as a struggle, he was finding it a little less so than usual. Allister wasn't entirely sure if the stranger was actually interested in the ruins, or simply humoring his interest, but regardless, the familiar subject was a comfortable one for the boy to latch onto.

❝N-Not close . . . but um . . . F-Flying Taxi m-makes it . . . a qu-quick trip . . . ❞ He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, fidgeting with the hem of his sleeve. ❝I-I um . . . l-like the ghosts . . .❞

Vicious was patient, noting the kid's nervousness, probably either scared of people or had pretty bad anxiety.... or a mix of both.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Allister." he greeted trying to keep his voice soft and calm sounding. he didn't want to scare the poor kid more than he already had. "The ruins? I'll check them out then if they are the aces like you say, I didn't know there were some around here."

[thegalarghost]

It was several moments, and many breaths before Allister was able to compose himself, his hands slowly dropping from his face only to fidget together as the purple glow beneath the mask subsided. He was still nervous for sure, though only a normal amount now.

He looked up toward the large man, who even crouched dwarfed the boy. Every fiber of his being wanted to flee, to make a mad dash for the gym's private entrance . . . but he figured that would be rude. Especially as apologetic he seemed.

❝. . . 'm Allister . . .❞ he responded softly. If only he could probably explain the thing that he was really afraid of was people. ❝. . . th-the c-cliffs are . . . a-alright . . . but th-the ruins . . . a-are aces though . .❞ At least he preferred them.

Vicious stared as the kid's eyes glowed and he grabbed his head. So not only did he almost squish the kid but now he has given him a panic attack.

This was not going well. He crouched down keep a bit of distance between him and the kid to not scare him anymore. "Hey, it's okay kid, just inhale, hold for 5 and exhale." he instructed slowly. holding his hands up to show he meant no harm. "My name is Vic, I'm a traveller and i was exploring the cliffs, there is nothing here to harm you"

[thegalarghost]

Immediately after classes let out, Allister slipped away basically unnoticed. It wasn't difficult to do, the small boy was so quiet, he was easy to miss, he was almost like a ghost in any room he haunted. Despite still being in his school uniform, he opted to wear his mask for comfort as he traversed Stow-on-Side's streets.

On occasion, he would make his way to the gym, even on days Bea would be the one to man the gym, watching her bouts from the locker room as he completed his homework.

Despite having resided within the city for the majority of his life, the ghostly boy still held anxieties when he was out in public alone. Making his way toward the gym's back entrance, the last thing Allister expected was a massive figure, one the size of Raihan, to appear beside him from the air.

He nearly jumped out of his skin, a hand instinctively reaching for a dusk ball at his side that wasn't there. Those were tucked away in his bag, after all, as far as anyone at the school knew, he was just another child and had never possessed a pokemon of his own.

Purple orbs began to glow within the black voids of the mask's eyes as small hands rose to grasp at the sides of his face beneath the mask, having failed in their attempt to call for protection. Despite the man's apology, he struggled to calm himself, slowly backing away from the stranger.

❝I-I . . . uhm . . .❞

@thegalarghost ask for a starter Vicious had been scaling the walls of the cliff around Stow-on-Side looking for something to keep him occupied during his time in Galar., at the very least, it was a decent workout. There weren't many Pokemon of interest around, maybe he should head to the Tangle Woods and see if he could pick up a Pokemon or two to show he was actually working (barely).

Ashe climb down, jumping the last bit to the ground, he realized he had landed (and startled) a kid. "Sorry about that, kiddo. Didn't see you there" he apologized, glancing down at the tiny kid.
