The mountains: It was time for a ripe bit of training! Today was a bit rainy, a light drizzle, but not anything overly challenging. One Parker Kaine and his ace Greninja were scaling the mountain in rather intense fashion: Instead of using ride Pokemon or having the common sense to fly up there, the frog specialist decided to go on foot; Leaping upwards gradually, his Greninja following close behind. Of course, with the rain, Parker could probably slip at any moment, but he knew the risk to get a bit of extra training in.

Eventually? He'd decide to take a break, sitting on a cliff. It wasn't exactly near the peak of the mountain, but may as well have a small moment of rest before continuing the journey up. In the meantime, Parker sat, appreciating the view before him. Of course, he figured that he was just by himself, aside from his Pokemon.
Margarito
"Well that was an interesting way to scale a mountain." 

*All of the sudden the spiky blue haired boys Torso dropped down in front of the other boys face. He was being held by the legs by a Noivern while dangling upside-down and swaying a bit.* 

"I got to say there must be easier ways but whatever floats your boat." 

*He was tossed into the air before landing on the edge of the cliff with perfect from. He stretches a bit while the Novern settles beside him picking at its wings.*
James
Parker flinched a bit from the sudden appearance of the other boy, but he quickly calmed and looked to him, a bit of a glare to him as he'd then stand up.

"...It is for training. Yes, there are much easier ways up the mountain, but something such as a flying Pokemon or transport isn't available always... In any case, what of you? Suddenly falling out of the sky like that."

He'd say, staring at Feyrin curiously, meanwhile his Greninja would approach the Noivern, a bit cautious at first, but overall to make a good first impression.
Margarito
"Oh I do Aerial acrobatics and battling, the sky is my domain." 

*He smirks proudly while Grapple the Noivern cuddles under his arm skwacking at the Greninja.* 

"Also the rain is making what your doing mighty dangerous I suggest you get somewhere less wet and high before you fall and go splat." 

*He makes a noise with his mouth to really push the idea he could turn into a Pancake.*
James
"I reign the swamps. So wet terrain isn't a massive deal. The rain is my domain, and if I can't manuever in this light drizzle, then I can't properly call myself an expert."

*Parker spoke, adjusting his mask while staring at the odd boy. He very much visualized a lot more than being a pancake.*

"But you say the sky is yours?...Hmm... I am Parker. How about we test one another out? A battle, if you'd like."
Margarito
"Hmm depends you see I only battle in my domain." 

*He walks towards the edge of the cliff and let's himself fall off while grinning at the other boy. Just moments later he's back up into the air on the back of a Salamence hanging from its neck.* 

"I don't think you can handle this swamp boy!" 

*He laughs not in a mean way but more so jokingly.*
James
*Parker watched Feyrin closely, before he would decide to call in Pelipper for a bit of help. By that of course, I mean making the rain a bit more of a drizzle, along with Parker leaping off the cliff in order to get on the big bird. Pelipper did not expect it, but would keep flight, easily able to carry its trainer, who was stood upright. In addition he'd call up Finizen, since he wasn't entirely counting on Pelipper to do all the fighting... Y'know, since he's on it, and all.*

"Hmph... This is rather new for me, but... If that's what it takes for a challenge, then very well!" *He'd speak out, although it was a bold challenge. He only had 2, technically 3 Pokemon that are able to take on Feyrin in the sky, but if they keep to the cliff face? He figured his Greninja could get a good hit or two in.*

"Let's have a good battle, sky boy!" *Parker spoke in all seriousness, very much taking what Feyrin as a challenge.*
Margarito
*He looked at the other with a grin and admiration before sitting upright on Sable the Salamence.* 

"Very well then swamp boy but I'll tell you this, your in my domain you havnt seen half of what I can do." 

*Grapple flies above the two ready for a command.*
James
*Parker nodded, soon huffing before he spoke out.*

"Flip Turn! Go!"

*With that? Finizen would shoot out cloaked in water, aiming to tackle into Grapple with such a move, albeit rapidly retreat into its Pokeball regardless of whether or not such a weak tackle hit. In exchange? Out would come out a Decidueye, taking to the skies soon after arriving, a mighty cry as it took a gaze towards Grapple.

In the meanwhile, Greninja would climb and cling onto the wall, lying in wait.*
Margarito
*Grapple would begin to spin but shake it off taking a bit of damage before immediately reacting to the Decidueye with its incredible speed.* 

"Grapple use focus blast!" 

*Feyrin yelled out as Grapples eyes immediately locked onto the Decidueyes. Grapple screamed out releasing a big beam of energy hurdling towards the other pokemon having a slight chance to make the foe flinch. Strangely Grapple would spin upwards towards the pokemon as soon as the move ended the Noivern torpedoed down in quick speeds nearly disappearing.* 

"Sable watch the Greninja stay on guard we have an advantage here." 

*Feyrin grins locking eyes with Parker.*
James
*Parker locked eyes with Feyrin, a piercing glare through the rain as he kept that intense eye contact with the other boy.

In the meanwhile, Decidueye would go ahead and take on that Focus Miss- I mean Blast, I mean Miss- The owl weaving out of the way, mainly due to its Ghostly typing allowing it to more easily evade as it rose upwards, aiming to use Spirit Shackle on its opponent, a ghostly arrow forming to fire at Grapple.

So if the Focus Blast missed, where did it go?...Directly into Pelipper, of course, who was too entralled in the battle to notice! Of course, it'd shake off the hit, buuuut it'd feel like it lost some weight... That's because Parker was thrown off by the blast, causing him to start falling. He was shocked, trying to get ahold of himself, but admittedly? He was a bit too shocked to speak, or do much of anything... So, moments away from becoming a red mushy puddle on jagged terrain, huh? Too panicked to call for help, and Greninja too far away to act that fast. What was he to do?*
Margarito
*He sighed smiling before lazily falling off his Salamence and began to see Parker in sight he grabbed him mid air and started to spin while laughing.* 

"What'd I say buddy! Now ohh what to dooooo." 

*Just as he said that Grapple was in view and swiftly caught them on his back.* 

"Oh wait we get saved because I figured this would happen." 

*He laughed while Grapple just glided around the mountains slowly.*
James
"...Tch."

*Parker would calm eventually, after being saved from falling. He stared at Feyrin into his eyes, soon to hold onto Grapple as he was caught.*

"...C-...Can we get back onto solid ground now, please?...I believe you proved your point."

*Parker spoke to Fey, staring towards him again. He was still rather shaken up about the experience.*
Margarito
*Feyrin softened a bit and smiled.* 

"Yeah sure, Grapple can you land under that rock formation on the ground!" 

*He gave the directions to the big Noivern as it glided smoothly, and quite fast, under a rock formation that was fairly spacious and would protect them from the rain. Feyrin hopped off the tall pokemon helping Parker down before taking a pokeball and releasing Flan the Altaria. Sable came down shortly after that and retreated into his own pokeball.*

"Flan can you warm us up please, we got caught in the rain." 

*The fluffy bird like pokemon nodded and chirped as it spread out its wings to allow the two to cuddle in.*
James
*Once they landed, Parker would kneel near Feyrin, taking off his mask and cloak, having a bit of a shaky breathing, fear in his face from it all. Not from Feyrin or anything like that, but from the fact that he almost had a little meet and greet with Arceus, all because he wanted to prove himself.

Greninja and Decidueye were soon to follow into the cliff side cavern of sorts, Greninja sitting down while Decidueye simply roosted, watching.*

"...T-Tch... How... D-dammit, how can you fly so confidently!? Looking all... Looking cool and all that."

*Parker would mutter that last part, staring down.*
Margarito
*He chuckled a bit before sitting down beside Parker.* 

"Well to be fair I was introduced to high altitudes at an early age so the initial scare wore off pretty easily." 

*Flan would then use a controlled fire blast into a pile of leaves to make a small fire to warm them all up.* 

"I've practiced in acrobatics and flight for years, it's all about trusting your pokemon and planning ahead like how I sent Grapple to a lower level to catch us just incase." 

*Grapple chirped up settling near the fire while Flan puffed up their feathers.*
James
"Hm... Well, maybe you should have a battle on the ground, be fair about it... But... Hm... You never told me your name."

*Parker said, deciding to lay on his side besides Feyrin, staring up at him. Meanwhile Decidueye went ahead and put some more leaves into the small fire to keep it burning.*

"I practice parkour and overall manuevering. Though maybe I could afford to manuever in the air like you... But this for now."

*He said, using his removed cloak as a makeshift blanket for now.*
Margarito
"Ah dunno if I can do that, I'm strictly in the sky havnr battled on the ground since I was a kid." 

*He stretched his arms looking at Parker with a big goofy grin sliding back a bit onto Flan getting comfortable.* 

"Also the names Feyrin what about you?" 

*Feyrin inspected Parkers face, the little circles on his cheeks reminded him of a Politoed.*
James
"Parker Kaine... A nice name you have, Feyrin."

*Parker said, staring at Fey... He reminded him of someone back home... It made him blush the smallest bit, the circles on his cheek brightening a bit from such. He'd sigh and speak.*

"Then I'll teach you to battle on the ground, if you teach me to battle in the sky. Shouldn't be too hard."

*With that? One of his POkemon would come out of its Pokeball on its own! It was a... Well, it had a swirl on its forehead, so it could be of the Poliwag line? This was Polilotl! A regional evo of the Polis. It was now? Laying atop of Parker, vibing. Baby.*
Margarito
*He eyed the unfamiliar pokemon before thinking.* 

"Hmm I mean yeah it would be interesting but I'd prefer the sky no offense, I've trained for years in it and even caught pokemon for my specific performances if you havnt noticed yet." 

*He scratches his head, it was pretty apparent all his pokemon were a specific type due to his family tradition.* 

"Plus it's kinda hard for me to change a lot of what I do since I havnt even mastered the sky yet." 

*No matter how great he was he still believed he could be better and had quite the one track mind. He then notices Parkers cheeks glowing, not saying anything he just grinned a bit.*
James
"Mmm... Yes, I suppose that is clear enough."

*Polilotl went ahead and started floating off the ground, due to its ability. And eventually? It'd decide to lay down on Feyrin, happily vibing.*

"...But I took a chance with battling in the sky against you. You may as well take a chance and battle low to the ground."

*Parker said, sitting up and poking Fey's cheek, sticking his tongue out as a bit of a playful taunt.*

"But, I'd like to see one of these performances of yours. We have Contests back home, but I haven't seen a performer with a team like yours."
Margarito
*He playfully snaps at Parkers finger acting as if he was about to chomp it.* 

"Fair point but then again your the one who still wanted to battle *After* I stated my conditions." 

*He grinned and squished one of Parkers cheeks.* 

"And I'm not really a performer I just add a bit off pizazz to my battles, it's a family tradition." 

*He stuck his tongue out as well in retaliation to the swamp boy.*
James
"Hmph... Still, only fair you at least give it a chance, Fey. Like swimming, in a sense."

*Parker said, not as shocked from his little snap, but he'd go ahead and put his hand on Fey's hand, the one pinching his cheek.*

"Still, curious to see what sort of tricks you're able to do."

*He then decided to lean a bit closer to the sky boy, still sticking his tongue out as a bit of retaliation to his retaliation.*
Margarito
"Hmmm maybe I'll have to be convinced though... Oh look the rain let up." 

*Feyrin said before tackling the other boy, laughing until his stomach hurt.* 

"Just kidding, got ya now huh!" 

*He giggled pinning the other down while Flan just shook his head at the two.*
James
"Hm?...Oh, it did?-"

*Parker looked to the side, only to soon get pinned down by Feyrin, caught by surprise. He was blushing quite a bit, his cheeks do having a faint glow to them.*

"I-I... T-Tch! But now I got you!"

*He'd decide to use his cloak in order to toss it on top of Feyrin, a bit of a cheeky grinn as he basically used his cloak to bundle up with Feyrin, though holding onto him to pin him. Meanwhile Polilotl vibed, laying down on Flan, vibing, making friends, even.*
Margarito
*He was caught off guard and wriggled in the coat.* 

"Hey thats not fair!" 

*He kept struggling before giving up and laying limp sticking his tongue out at Parker.* 

"That was dirt apprehending me like that." 

*Flan just shook his head while Grapple cackled at the twos roughhousing.*
James
*He laughed a small bit, sticking his tongue out at Feyrin in return while holding onto him, now very much bundled up together with him.*

"Well if it makes you feel any better, we're both like this until the rain clears... Or morning... Whichever comes first, really."

*He said, a bit of a smug grin, but he'd decide to try to snap at Feyrin in retaliation, mainly pretending as if he was about to bite the other's tongue. May as well be a little playful.*
Margarito
*He raises his eyebrows and decided to tease the other a little.* 

"Oh so you just wanna keep me all to yourself until thus bad weather is over with? Weren't you roughing it out earlier perfectly fine." 

*He smirks snapping back at the other just as he did him. Feyrin always likes a challenge when it came to battles or people in general it was always so fun and interesting to see their reactions. Of course he never got anywhere with it so he wouldn't know what to do if someone played along.*
James
*Parker was a bit flushed, but would snap back at the other for fun.*

"Hmm... Suppose so. You feel warm enough. And besides, may as well be a more comfortable position while we wait out the storm."

*He smirked, soon a bit flustered, but overall trying to calm and relax some, though he did wonder for a few moments on such feelings and reactions. In any case, he'd huff a small bit, soon deciding to simply give Feyrin a little boop on the nose as a bit of a tease.*
Margarito
*His face was dusted with pink as he struggled to find words being caught off guard.* 

"I'm not no pillow that's what Flan is for also there's a fire!" 

*He struggled to get back in a response as he was still flustered but showed no signs off moving away from Parker. As the other boy booked his nose he smirked and playfully yet gently bit the end of his finger.*
James
"If you're not a pillow, then why do you feel like one?"

*He teased some, a bit of a giggle before his finger then got bit. He'd flinch some and soon huff, booping him again before simply setting his hand on his cheek, pinching it gently.

"Besides, this feels much nicer. Dunno why, but it does."

*He said, soon sticking his tongue out at Feyrin with a small chuckle.*
Margarito
"Oh shush you swamp boy, I'm no pillow I'm actually quite built." 

*That was a lie, Feyrin was as soft as a marshmallow but still remained flexible and energetic, besides no matter the body type anyone would make a nice human pillow.* 

"And stop sticking your tongue out your like a frog trying to catch something!" 

*He jokingly said while laughing.*
James
"Yes quite built, like a pillow."

*Parker said, a small blush to his face as he then wondered for a few moments. In his wisdom, he'd decide to tease Feyrin just a bit more, mainly by simply sticking his tongue out and just licking the other boy's cheek, giggling.*

"Wellll, seems like I caught a sky boy! What'd you think about that?"

*He said, laughing some as he did so.*
Margarito
*His face lit up red even more.*

"Oh cmon I'm not some fly you can catch and eat up." 

*He was honestly at a lost for words not knowing what to do our say so he only spout petty little comebacks. I mean you wouldn't say he was upset at the situation just a tad shocked.*
James
"Hmm, I can probably eat you up if I try hard enough~ Maybe."

*He said, having a bit of a laugh, soon to simply lick the boy again before he'd lean back, smiling. It was odd- He's rarely smiled so much before, or at least had much fun with others. Yet here we are.*

"Besides, you can fly, so its close enough I'd say!"
Margarito
"I'm not no fly! I just happen to own the sky." 

*He blushed a bit more before getting a bit quiet.* 

"I didn't expect the little swamp boy to go from standoffish to wanting to eat me like some pokepuff, didn't know frogs were carnivores." 

*He cocked an eyebrow and said that jokingly.&
James
"Some frogs very much are. Even eat birds, if they're hungry enough."

*He said, some fun frog facts indeed as he chuckled softly, although he did wonder for a few moments.*

"Hm... Maybe you'd like to get some pokepuffs after this? Could be nice, spending a day on solid ground, sky boy."
Margarito
"What you wanna go on a date?" 

*He smirks looking at Parker kinda curious but not too willing just yet.* 

"You'd have to convince me it'd be worth my while first. I don't just get with the first guy I see I like to take things slow." 

*He spoke his part just curious about the other man. Sure Feyrin has been sought out for dates before they've never lasted particularly long because of how passionate Feyrin is for his hobbies, some say he likes them more than the person. But in reality they just need to make it worth his while and be actually special enough.*
James
"H-Huh!?"

*Parker had quite a bit of blush to his face. To be so blunt about it- Well, yes, he did kinda did want to go on a date with Fey, but still!*

"O-Oh... Hmm... Well, asides from g-getting to know one another that bit better, maybe you could show off your flight to others in the ville while we go there? Of course I can't gurantee that it'll be the thing of all time, but I will ensure that it'll be worth your time, sky boy!"

*He said with a confident grin, albeit still blsuhign somewhat, especially noted by the circles on his cheeks.*

"Hell, I'll make sure that it's the best... D-date, that you've had!"
Margarito
"I didn't say I was even interested yet? *You* Gotta give me a good reason, I could go out and show off my perfect skills anytime I wanted to." 

*He smirked, he really was making this hard I have no clue why he feels the need to just make people work for him. Was he really that worth it in the first place? Whatever the reason he liked to see the other boys responses even though he was this close to bursting himself.*
James
"...Tch! What if there's a once in a lifetime flavor pokepuff, just waiting for you to taste it!"

*Now he was the one getting all red and struggling to find a response. He'd scour through his thoughts momentarily, before soon enough speaking.*

"Y-You may as well come with, Fey, I... Hmm... Alright, how's this for a good reason? What if..."

*Wow, he REALLY couldn't think of anything, huh? Pretty much doubting himself in having a good reason to take him out of a little pokepuff date besides, well, pokepuffs!*

"What if... Uhm... H-Hold on, I'll think of something-"

*Bro was befuddled, absolutely gobsmacked, very much confused on what to say to him.*
Margarito
"Aww don't lose your words tadpole." 

*He teasingly said. Even if the other was still on top of him Feyrin had the situation under control... Maybe. Honestly anyone could offer him food he wanted something special. Something to make Parker stand out from the rest than he had already have. But Feyrin layed there grinning ear to ear.* 

"I'm sure you can think of something to grab my attention now?"
James
"I-...Hnn... Hmm... Hmph! Then I offer!...Me? No, wait, Hmm..."

*He would look away for a few moments all the more flustered, being called tadpole and all that as he would then eventually sit up, thinking for a few moments.*

"Well other than literally grabbing you, maybe... Well, it's an opportunity to taste such delicacies... But also, maybe I could teach you a thing or two, putting me on the spot like that!"

He said, soon looking back at him, still red in the face with blush as he simply the just put his hand on Fey's face as a bit of payback.
Margarito
"Calm down I'm just pulling your leg tadpole. Though it may seem wrong I like it when people squirm in a battle or not." 

*He tries to sit up to the best of his abilities but fails before going back down with a thud.* 

"Damn your really persistent on being on top of me huh. Oh and I don't need to be teacher anything no offense." 

*At this point Flan was rolling their eyes.*
James
*Parker was still somewhat in a flustered state, but would soon huff, deciding to pat Feyrin on the head as he watched him try to sit up. Well at least he had that over him.*

"M-Maybe some manners, little wyrm? Or even a r-reason why i-I should take you out-"

*He said, saying the first few things that came across his mind. In the meantime, Polilotl would simply plop onto Parker, and soon enough? The lad was starting to float off the ground, due to the axolotl Pokemon.*
Margarito
*He just bursted out laughing.* 

"Ok I wasn't the one who asked you out." 

*He then stood up and grabbed Parker by the wasit gently bringing him back on the ground.* 

"And I have to ask if your a little tadpole how am I a wyrm?" 

*He said with a grin pinching Parkers cheeks. He was definitely in control now.*
James
*Well he wasn't expecting to be grabbed by the waist, blushing a fair bit as Fey was now very much in control. As his cheeks were pinched, he'd stick his tongue out, soon huffing and holding onto his arm.*

"W-Well, wyrms are the cute ones, right? So that's what you are, what you get, calling me a little tadpole."

*He said as he mainlt decided to simply his Fey's arm, in order to hikd onto him some as he eventually sit next to the boy, sticking his tongue out at him while still somewhat in a flustered mood.*
Margarito
"Well I personally don't see limbless dragons cute but you can have it your way." 

*He jokes eyeing Parkers flushed cheeks.* 

"Anyways the rains clearing up where you wanna go from here?" 

*Grapple was stretching their wings while shaking its head. Feyrin simply stood up as Flan put out the fire.*
James
*Parker would soon stand up, putting his cloak and mask back on, mainly to hide his blushing face as he looked to Feyrin, crossing his arms soon enough.*

"Well... How about we go get those Pokepuffs? Or should we save that for another time, Fey?"

*He said, as Polilotl floated over to Feyrin, vibing, laying against him out of comfort, while Pelipper would get itself ready, relaxed and stretching their wings while Greninja would simply be sitting on the ceiling.*
Margarito
"Well originally I promised these guys a flight across the island once the rain ceases so I gotta get to that." 

*He chuckles before looking back to Parker and tossing him a card with his number on it.* 

"Call me." 

*He made a little call sign with his hand before jumping onto Grapple and skittering out the cave soon to dissappear into the sky.*
James
*Parker would hold onto the card, watching Fey fly into the sky, before looking at the card with his number on it. He would soon pocket it, wondering for a few moments...

He did not have a phone. At least, his grandpa didn't allow him to have such devices... BUT, his grandpa wasn't on the island, so may as well do just that! He figured it'd be a lot faster than using birdmail anyways. Parker was soon to hold onto Polilotl, deciding to use it in order to descend the mountain in order to make his own preparations!*
