THE POKEMON AU MEME

01. post characters + preferences 02. also include at least a vague idea of what your character's doing + their team (if you're feeling ambitious) - see here! 03. wreck some shit but don't be dicks ooc

i'm not writing up prompts bc i'm a lazyass, but places to start: running into someone on your bike! long-running pokemon contest rivals stuck at the same table making poffins! lost in some god-forsaken cave and surrounded by zubats! challenging a gym! surprise, your childhood bff is a member of team plasma? who knows, go nuts.

as usual, drop top-levels with or without a starter, or let me know if you want someone in particular and i will provide!! if you want kalos sprites btw this guy has them all here.

[It's been a long time since Furuya felt himself under the weight of Masamune's judgment and, since that judgment's turned negative, it's just as unpleasant as he remembers. He's stronger now, though, and he squares his shoulders when Masamune frowns at him. When he answers, his tone is unimpressed. If someone had been willing to leave his gym for a little while, this could have happened a long time ago.]

No, but I didn't think you'd come out of Snowpoint to do anything about it.

[ so furuya's filled out that too-big frame with a little resolve, huh? the part of masamune that misses sitting elbow-to-elbow inside the gym with cubchoo and teddiursa sharing their laps is a little proud.

the part of masamune that judges trainers (and finds them wanting, nine times of ten) is also a little proud - of finally standing face-to-face with a challenger who doesn't cower.

if traveling helped him grow, then maybe it wasn't all bad. if he thinks of satoru as no one important, just another challenger, then - it'd be nice, if he could. but professionalism, when satoru furuya is across from him, has never quite been in his grasp. ]

Well, you won't stop by, so I thought I'd do it for you. And the town's got nothing to do with - this. [ he's avoiding saying it, isn't he? ] With you and me.

[ 'us' isn't the word he wants to use. there is no 'us', not any more. ] You want to use the Ice Rock. [ it's not a question. ]

[There's something about the way Masamune answers that cuts closer than Furuya wants to admit. He can feel his expression change before he has a chance to school it. Most people probably wouldn't see the way his eyes get wider, the way his mouth softens. He knows Masamune will catch it, though, and while he knows he ought to feel the way he'd feel facing any other trainer--vulnerable, like he exposed himself somehow--instead Furuya feels more at ease.

There's nothing wrong with Masamune knowing he hit home with that comment as long as Furuya doesn't weaken because of it, and he has no intention of that happening.]

The world is bigger than that. I never said I wasn't coming back. [To Sinnoh. To Snowpoint. To they gym and Masamune.] I'm still not saying that.

[He just nods about the Ice Rock, though. Technically Masamune has no claim to it, but neither of them have any use for technicalities. Never have and certainly don't now.]
