Tristan felt pleased to see King initiating his orders, albeit a bit slow and clumsily at the beginning. Something to work on in the near future, but for now it was fine as the featherdance as he hoped and gave a small pump of his fist as he prepared himself for his next plan of action. Only to be thrown off-guard by Riolu's unexpected actions of using a quick attack to boost to boost itself along the trees as a platform to jump its way up to King." T-that's cheating...uh..right! King, dodge it!" He stammered out the order due to being thrown off.
The stammered order both confused the murkrow a tad and came a bit too late as the bird frantically flapped its wings to move out of the way but was too slow to dodge completely leaving King staggered and lost altitude though was still hovering while wincing a bit. Tristan was gritting his teeth trying to figure out what to do next only to come up blank; thankful for the featherdance hindering the attack power or King might have been knocked to the ground." Tch, screw it. Shake it off King and fly around the tree so Riolu can't see where you're coming from before it lands and hit it with an astonish!" He called out the commands while clenching his fists and gulped, hoping this was the right call and would work as King gave a sharp flap of its wing to brush off the pain with a loud cry then quickly flew around to the left of the tree then dipped down as it went aiming to appear below Riolu and upon reaching the pokemon were it to make it would let out a sudden loud shriek near point blank for an astonish.

Now that he was given the proper time to compose himself Tristan could feel his mood improving possibly in part from Riolu's comforting presence. Noticing the woman whose name as he would soon learn to be Astrid continue on to explain more about Riolu and how it was a seemingly well sought after by those of Cypher for its abilities. Shifting in place while folding his arms across his chest as he let out a disappointed sigh with a distasteful look." Hmph, such a horrid group, Cypher. Going to such length to do despicable and ugly things. It makes me proud to know my family is working to help undo the damage of their wicked deeds."
Cypher, a name even he has heard about and while he didn't know the intricate details, he knew enough to abhor the group. They best hope they never have the misfortune to run into him for if he had been around at the time, he would have put an end to the genocidal monsters.
The day he teaches teaches them to regret ever showing their ugly mugs in his presence is one to come all too soon. Pulled from the pleasing thoughts of future feats upon hearing the teacher speak once more and would nod in response." Astrid is it? Then I offer my thanks once more, miss Astrid. Do be sure to keep those tips in mind as they will surely make you popular among the student and fellow staff."
Thinking to offer a few more tips when the Riolu's unexpected shout got his attention as intended having him look down at the canine esque pokemon wondering what it was shouting about. His left eyebrow rose when Astrid offered her suggestion which the Riolu seemed to agree to." A battle?" He pondered over the notion while stroking at his chin as he glanced down at the two pokemon, King holding up his wings confidently to show he was ready and raring to go." Hm, yes. I suppose this is a chance to see what this Murkrow is capable of and no better way to test the skills of Riolu." With a determined nod he pointed down at the blue furred pokemon." I graciously accept this challenge and be ready for this is the day you shall find Glory!" Tristan exclaimed boastfully then gave a tooth dazzling wink to Astrid who he considered quite lucky to witness his first battle and the beginning of his conquest.
Turning away from Astrid and the school he made his way to one of the empty fields used for battles and upon reaching the spot lightly spun into a dramatic pose with a snap of his fingers signaling King to fly over and land before him." Consider yourself honored, Riolu. You shall be the first of countless conquest." Smugly grinning with that dazzling smile once more then pulled out his pokedex to scan the opposing pokemon once more.
Listening to the pokedex's entry while observing the pokemon." Hm...I'm still working to memorize all the types and all that jazz but this one seems to either be normal or...fighting type." Once again pondering while stroking his chin trying to remember the lessons from the family butler; rambling on about something regarding type matching being important and vital and other such facts." ugh..that man really knew how to droll me to sleep. Well, I've never been one to bother overthinking things."
With a flick of his hair, he shifted forward to show he was ready." Alright, King. Time to show your stuff!" The shiny murkrow cawed out with a few flaps of its wings and a sharp glint in its eyes signaling the start of the battle.
Tristan studied the pokemon for a few moments longer thinking over the moves the murkrow trying to figure out his plan of actions. Then without warning he flung his right hand forward pointing his index finger." Quick, take to the sky king and make some distance then follow up with a featherdance." The rookie teen called out his orders as King did as ordered albeit fumbling a bit on the take-off due to not being used to receiving sudden orders as it moved to fly up until it was at a height just short the tree lines from the ground. The bird let out a piercing crow before giving several strong flaps of its wings sending a flurry of black feathers aimed at Riolu aiming to hinder and weaken it physically; this assuming King succeeded in reaching its way into the sky.

A part of Tristan was still reeling from the near panic attack and was likely one of the reasons he was avoiding eye contact with the teacher. Not until she mentioned about something hugging his leg prompting him to look down to see blue furred bipedal canine hugging his leg causing the newbie trainer to nearly jump in surprise." Bloody hell?! Where did this thing come from?" Blinking in confusion before hearing the woman speak about him being distress." wha- I...distressed? I bet your pardon? I am far from distressed I assure you." Turning away while giving a forced nervous laugh, his right hand waving rapidly in front of his face hiding the signs of small tear streaks.*Calm down you idiot. I must never show anything but my fabulous and best.* Thinking this to himself while taking deep breaths to sooth yet another panic attack beginning to grow. Clearly Tristan was quite the fragile person that did not take pressure well or letting others see him distraught and looking so unfabulous.
While Tristan was hiding his embarrassed face slick with tear stain and sweat, King had landed next to the Riolu where he gave a happy caw in response to the woman while raising its wing in determination then turned to start chatting with the pokemon as if thanking it for trying to comfort his trainer.
A few calming mantra chanted in his head later Tristan turned his head with a quick brush of his hand wiping the bits of tears then passing it off as flicking his hair." You mentioned something about sensing emotions and aura?" Glancing down at the Riolu; finding it strange that an unknown wild pokemon was willing to come up to a stranger to comfort them and made him ponder on the last time he even received an actual genuine hug. A sad pang struck his heart briefly as he sniffed then coughed as if clearing his throat to play it off." W-well I assure you that one as fabulous as I am in no need in comforting.....but would be rude to refuse a kind gesture. So I offer my thanks little..er...one?" Extending his right hand down to give it a pat on the head as thanks." And thanks to you as well, young lady for offering some actual useful tips unlike a certain grouch." Nodding as he leaned in to get a closer look at the teacher and snapped his fingers." Those glasses do not do your face justice. With those slim cheeks and curve of your chin. I recommend a pair more sleek and compact to really make those blue eyes pop and your hair...perhaps try some softer conditioner to give a more silky and brighter color to your hair." Nodding with a proud smile at the tips he so kindly offered.

Stopping to take a breather thinking he arrived at his destination but as Tristan glanced around, he would find no pokemart in sight and instead found himself at some park. The panting teen wiped the sweat from his brow with his left hand while glowering at the pokedex held in his right." A park?! Stupid thing can't even guide properly. Figures that I would be given such a useless device from that pitiful geezer." Tristan glared at the pokedex when hearing that voice speak out once more detailing info on the nearby pokemon scanned though none of them interested him really. Two of them being flying type and he already had King currently pecking at the ground around him and meowth was a very familiar one often popular among the rich, the wives in particular.
Pocketing the pokedex with an agitated sigh before it could do more to frustrate him." I'm starting to wonder why I bothered coming here." The silver haired teen grumbled to himself while rubbing at his forehead; not that it mattered as he wouldn't have been able to buy anything with the pittance afforded him. And it didn't help that this pack was killer against his back.
After giving himself a minute to calm down did he give another glance around trying to decide where to go when his eyes came upon the trainer school where several kids could be seen running about. His face cringed in distaste at the sight of them and for a moment thought to just avoid the school altogether, but the glimpses of pokemon around there seemed far more eye-fetching than the plain common ones." Guess I might as well try to get some actual info of worth...more than I can say for this pokedex." With a snap of his fingers for King to follow, he set off towards the school making sure to avoid the group of kids running around as he had no patience to deal with snot nosed brats right now though he did hear of something interesting about some baby blue pokemon in passing.
Hearing this tidbit might just be the pick-me up he needed after all the troublesome affair he had endured bringing a little pep to his wobbling legs. For the moment his mood lifted as he strolled through a pack of pidoves which he waved his hands away to shoo the hooting birds away." Out of the way. I have no bread so be off as I have no time for any nonsense." A few more waves of his hand caused the pidoves to fly off nearly all at once and was about to continue on his way when he felt something splat onto his left shoulder.
Turning his head to see the blot of white bird poop staining the shirt causing eyes to go wide in shock and disgust." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You damn rats with wings! If I ever get my hands on you, I'll tear your feathers off feather by feather!" He scowled out in pure rage while shaking his fist at the departing pidoves, his face red with anger as he quickly fumbled around in his pockets until he found a hanky." Come on...come on got to get it before it settles.... ugh this day can't get any worse." After a few licks to moisten the hanky, he fervently scrubbed at the poop giving it a good number of hard rubs removing nearly all but a small residue to which he choked back the sobs at seeing his beloved shirt being besmirched once more.
Fifteen minutes later of near crying and panic attacks Tristan finally settled down enough to continue on his way though still continuing to rub at the spot trying to get the bit of residue. Stepping his way over to the young bespectacled woman." Tch, this isn't coming out anytime soon. If only I had proper cleaning supplies." Tristan grumbled to himself before speaking to the teacher." You, the woman wearing those gaudy glasses. What is this I hear about some baby blue pokemon?" He inquired while keeping his attention on rubbing out the stain with little luck while King had settled itself next to him on its right giving a loud caw with a raise of his wings announcing himself.

Tristan felt proud of the speech he had given as he could see the effect it had on his Murkrow who was suddenly trembling with a look of fear in his eyes." Yes, I know that my mere presence can be intimidating but you have nothing to fear from me as long as you don't fail me." Nodding with that smug grin when he felt the rush of breath air against the back of his neck prompting him to turn to see some kind of vicious three headed beast levitating and looming behind him.
A raise of the brow while folding his arms across his chest though before he could open his mouth the pokedex turned on to reveal info on Hydreigon as the part about biting thing in particular got his attention." Do you mind? Your breath stinks and I have no breath mints though I'd probably need a pack for each of those mouth." Waving his left hand in front of his nose; next moment he found himself being lifted up by the scruff of his shirt, the realization of what was happening made his eyes go wide in horror." Oi! Get your filthy mitts off!" He struggled and kicked in the air as he found himself being carried out from the lab as King gave a panicked caw before flying after.
He landed with a pained grunt then quickly sat up checking over the collar of his shirt." You horrid beast! You left bite marks on my limited series cashmere shirt! Do you even have any inkling of how much this worth?!" Growling out his frustration while glaring at the dragon pokemon which responded by hissing at him with all three heads then went back inside." You get back here lizard breath! And bring that sandpaper skinned owner of yours out here! I expect compensation for these damages!" Tristan scowled out with a shake of his fist; hardly taking notice of King having landed on the ground besides him until a few seconds later who would receive the focus of his scowling glare." And you...you just let that lizard brute manhandle me?! Starting to wonder if you really are king material." Still fuming at the horribly rude manner he was treated as he went on to inspect and fixed his slightly disheveled hair to soothe himself, ignoring the murkrow flapping its wings in a panicking manner and cawing while bowing its head rapidly as if trying to apologize.
With a huff the silver haired teen pushed himself off the ground and dusted off his pants." Tch, whatever. Clearly the people around these parts lack any concept of manners on how to treat their betters." Grumbling as he adjusted his shirt; agitated to see it all wrinkled and damp with dragon spit." This isn't over you sleep deprived geezer! Expect to receive my drycleaning bill for this!" He spat out loudly to ensure he was heard while pointing at the door then turned away swiping his hand in a cutting motion." Cease your insistent cawing you blathering birdbrain!" His biting words got King to quickly stop as those wings covered its beak.
Tristan gave a weary sigh while rubbing at his temple once more." Ugh, this day has been absolutely dreadful...and I fear it shall only get worse from here." Glancing down at the bird and his traveling pack and was once again reminded he had no access to the Glory account nor had Chives here to carry his back for him causing the teen to lean forward in a dejected manor sighing once more. After waiting another moment to gather himself did he move to pick up his pack and as expected found himself struggling even to pick it up at first as it took a good couple minute to get it onto his back which he swore heard a crack as it weighed down so much that he could barely hold himself up." Oh Arceus! How can anyone endure such torture?!" Standing on shaky legs panting with beads of sweat dripping down his face. Struggling to get himself steady and after two minutes felt he was ready to try moving." Hmph, well no point wasting our time here. Better to get going and be rid of the eyesore domicile of that foul professor." Scoffing with a sneer as he held up the pokedex to inspect the map only to find that it read like a bunch of gibberish to him.
It became quickly apparent that Tristan had no idea of how to read a map as he flicked over the screen, annoyed." How can anyone expect to read this garbled mess? Tch, whatever..." Grumbling once more; wanting more than anything to go on a shopping spree to forget about the awful affair and way he was treated, but he wouldn't even be able to buy a single sock with the pitiful change in his pocket." Guess I'll just check the pokemart...and hope this hick town has something of actual worth like something for this migraine." Rubbing at his forehead while exhaling slowly as he set off with the pokedex in hand trying to use it to find his way to the pokemart though his horrible direction sense had Tristan find himself at the park.

For most about to become a trainer this would be considered one of the most exciting days ever with the prospect of an adventure awaiting them and getting their very first pokemon. Tristan, however, found himself in quite the the sour mood as he stood there amongst the group of freshly recruited trainers which he found to be quite the weird gathering of rabble as none of them were the kind of sort one such as him would dare to associate with. But they were not the reason for the young rich teen's unpleasant mood though did nothing to help it; no, it was due to a number of reasons like the pounding headache assaulting his temple and the jetlag from spending more 15 hours traveling from the kalos region to here, via first class only of course.
Yet, the true culprit ultimately had to do with the little meeting shortly prior to entering this building with the long-served family butler not only denying allowing him to bring Chives, his personal servant also along on his travels and leaving him to have to lug around his own pack, but even took away his card to the Glory account which has never left his side upon the moment he received it. Now how was he supposed to get his mousse hair gel and milotic galore skin cream? And the items needed for his traveled (hardly of any priority in his mind to say the least) though the pitiful change allotted to him wouldn't afford even a stick of bread from the restaurant he typically dined at.
Still fuming at both being denied his right and talked down to like he was a child, were it not for the fact they were the orders directly from his father he would give that frumpy old bastard several choice words and letting him look bad in public probably had a hand in Tristan holding his tongue.
The fact he found himself here was purely because he took a brief interest and some strange woman approaching him advising him to accept her sudden offer to become a trainer. He originally had no intention of coming, that is until his father also highly recommend, he do so with the chance of finally doing something to earn the rights to the Glory name and by working to become a pokemon champion stand alongside his older highly successful brothers. For a moment his body shuddered as it took biting his lip to keep from breaking out in cold sweat as he briefly recalled the last image of his father's face before setting off; cold and cruel eyes that betrayed that small smile almost as if to tell him that failure simply was not an option.
A shake of the head to shake off the second bout of shudder wanting to forget that image nor did he want to risk blemishing his skin that has gone through hours meticulous care. Almost thankful to actually hear the dour tone of the sleep deprived professor speaking up to pull him from his thoughts.
Almost, he thought as he simply could not bring himself to look at the man; hair all disheveled and horribly mismanaged and skin all dirty and greasy. The worse of it were those heavy shadows beneath his eyes...dear god did this man have no concept whatsoever about skin care? Even thinking to look at this old geezer's face had Tristan cringing and fighting back an urge to vomit. Opting instead to keep his shades covered eyes on the phone held in his hands, the phone obviously of the latest model not yet on the market which he was currently texting his 'bestie' Trevor.
Only half listening to Professor Kapoc who might as well be living in a cardboard box by the state of him as he prattled on about this being a great opportunity and blah blah blah. His attention pulled away only briefly upon the sudden entrance of that strange woman from before as the manner she coyly flirted with the assistance briefly brought an amused smirk to his devilishly handsome face. An amusement ruined the instant Kapoc spoke up once more and started going on regarding something about some id card and pokedex causing him to roll his eyes while turning his eyes to the two items described. Keeping his own phone in his left hand as the right reached for the pokedex made in design similar to that of a typical iphone and while the model was of the latest line it still looked a tad disapproving. But, without his card he no longer had a way to afford his phone's insanely expensive plan leaving him no choice but to forego using it save for very limited uses, at least for the time being and bid Trevor farewell for the moment which his friend responded with a typical tort remark. The guy did not hold back at all in letting him know how ridiculous and laughable it was to let Tristan of all people be a trainer.
Gritting his teeth while clutching the phone in his hand as he stared at the insulting message. * Just you wait, Trevor. I'll make you eat your words and that pitifully cheaply handled nose job of yours! * Scowling with his frustrated thoughts as he pocketed the phone not wanting to bother with it any further at the moment. Instead putting his focus on getting the pokeball containing the shiny Murkrow he had selected and held the ball up, turning it between his fingers." There..are we done now? I got places to be and..." Tilting his head with an exasperated sigh and in doing so ended up getting a good look at Kapoc's face and quickly turned his head away, hand to his mouth to fight back a gag." And things to do.... plus, your voice and face nausates me." Muttering that last bit under his breath as he then turned to pull away from the group intending to have nothing to do with any of them, making his way to a secluded portion of the lab where he would call out the murkrow.
With a zap of a red beam out came the purple feathered Murkrow crowed with a rising flap of its wings; standing there in place majestically bringing a smile to Tristan's lips." Hmph, that old flop of a professor mentioned shinies offer nothing but those are just the words of jealous losers. It's only fitting that I, a Glory get a shiny starter." Laughing obnoxiously while flipping the bang of silky smooth silver hair covering his right eye as Murkrow could only help but let out an uncertain cawing in a manner of nervous laughter following its trainer. In the next instant Tristan pointed his right index finger at the brightly violet bird.
" How lucky for you to have found yourself under the guise of I, Tristan Glory. A born champion that in turn will conquer this league with this champion in the making before me." Laughing once more while placing his hands on his hips; standing in a victory pose with a smug smirk." With nothing but weak rabble before us, victory will be quick and sweet. So now I deem you the name worthy of a pokemon associated with one fabulous and great as I... King!" Exclaimed while bending his head back looking up at the ceiling." We will soar high into the sky and take over this nation until all are blessed by glory." tilting his head back down and pulling off his shades to give a dazzling smile matched with a sparkle of his visible eye.
" Only the top awaits us kings. So do not fail me." That dazzling smile almost overshadowing the underlying threat in his words and whether King noticed or understand it did not show as the bird crowed out in a loudly proud fashion as if motivated and swayed by Tristan's so called passionate speech, even seeming to shed a tear from being so moved and in awe.

The relief on her face at the prospect of resting was palpable while she did not seem to mind too much that they spent nearly a day traveling to and back. Even when the two had to pull the cart on their return trip and she was still able to keep going as even if the cart wasn't overtly heavy with its content being flowers, but the rocking and uneven pathways aided and wearing down any pulling it. The red haired woman did not seem like she had a body built with such stamina though the human male she had turned into possibly had a hand in her increased stamina; a sign her magic purely looks from what she has shown while in this form and from her explanation. His curiosity was easily piqued; certain to inquire more about Alina and the intricacies of her magic in detail when they were free.
" I am relieved to hear that you are well though I wish to state caution on avoiding the state and health of your body. Exhaustion could be a detriment and risk to both your health and allies. Thankfully, this job carries little danger, but a simple warning for in the future." He advised with a small nod of his head.
With the decision to stop settled, Menzai kept himself busy with setting up his barrier along the small clearing. Seeing no need to use an overtly powerful barrier when they were so close to the city leaving little worry of dangerous individuals appearing, not that they would bother to rob flowers. With only animals as the only possible threat and even then unlikely as few would venture so close to the city save for tiny critters and truly desperate. Putting up this barrier was more to allow Ms. Bloomfield to sleep without worry and to keep bothersome insects from getting into the flowers as something within still gave him some small sense of danger which he simply accrued to nerves.
Before long the barrier encompassed the clearing; semi see through red walls that stood strong and solid yet when Alina touched it, ripples akin to touching water spread out that eventually faded away. Taking a moment to inspect his barrier to make sure there was no holes or weak links in any of the marks he inscribed which had been kept simple before turning attention to Alina having heard her praise, taking notice that she had shifted back to her original form. (assuming this was her original)" Thank you, Ms Bloomfield. Though this barrier is far from my best, but this should be enough as there are little chance of threats but I am of the thought of...better safe than sorry? Is that the expression?" He mused in the hopes he used what he has read correctly here while rubbing at his chin briefly in a pondering manner.
Turning his attention back to her where he would nod his head in understanding." Hm, if I find myself needing sleep then I will be sure to do so. But, for now I will keep watch so be at ease and rest." Giving a half bow of his body before jumping up; forming small platform barriers, the wolfkin jumped his way up to a large branch halfway up the tree where he sat down with his back against the partially rough trunk. There, he sat with his senses letting him keep watch and observing the surrounding.
He drifted along atop Nimbus a short distance behind Ariel and the woman who he didn't know as he didn't want to be rude and interrupt their conversation. Being distracted anyway with thoughts on why Nolan would cut their grand meeting so short when it was the first time finally seeing each other all these years. Sitting there, arms folded across his chest; body tilting left and right slightly and cheeks puffed up in the same manner of an angry child while his right foot rocked against the golden cloud beneath him." Tch, can you believe the nerve of him? And after all that traveling and epic speech making I did for our reunion? ....I may not be able to remember said speech, but it was going to be legendary...legendary I tell you!" He stated boldly while pointing a finger down at the cloud which he could of sworn shifted like one giving an exasperated sigh and roll of the eye.
" Hmph, well I hope he doesn't expect to get another hug from me again next time we run into each other...or at least won't be a big hug....fine I will just give him an even bigger hug!" Scoffing while giving a nod of his head after making this promise.
Turning his head to see that the pair had taken notice of him or should he say trio since Ethel was there too, swimming within those thick, fluffy alluring tails. That pouty expression turning into his ever warm big smile as he floated over to the group, momentarily distracted by those tails again having to fight the urge to dive into them...again that he missed Trinity moving to hide herself behind the fluff which he figured just to enjoy their fluffy goodness more." Hey there again, Ariel. And that I am seeing cuz rather go fight than give his dear old cousin a minute of attention." Turning away briefly to mutter his annoyance under his breath before turning back." So hope you don't mind my tagging along and I'd certainly love to hear some stories of his time with the guild." Nodding with that grin widening with an almost cheeky hint to it.
Tilting his head upon having the other woman introducing herself as Trinity who asked him how he made Nolan mad which only made him confused." Mad? Not sure what you're talking about, it was just a friendly headbutt greeting. Guess that's just his way of greeting others..not much of a hugger probably." Tapping at his forehead twice which was still a bit red from the strike." And hey there, I'm D'angelo Schultz! Good to meet another friend of cuz. So going to this exhibition yeah?!" Leaning forward on the cloud; still very much annoyed at Nolan but how could he pass up a chance to watch him fight and show off his awesome skills and in person this time?
