I. SKARMORY
[ out of all of steven's pokémon, skarmory is the one who enjoys being on his own the most. it's actually quite common to find him away from steven's side, flying around the colony and resting on building rooftops. it's a habit of his lonely nature... and he likes to think that it makes him look cool.
today, he's found himself quite curious at not the colony itself, but its residents. as you're walking throughout the city going about your day, you may take notice to the fact that you're being followed by a fairly large metal bird. maybe you've got a delicious-looking snack with you. maybe he likes that hat you're wearing. or maybe he just thinks you look like you'd be fun to mess with. whatever the reason, whenever you look up, you'll see skarmory looking right back down at you with intrigued, yellow eyes.
better not make too many sudden movements - those wings look sharp as blades, and he's a bird of prey. ]
II. CRADILY
[ if you're in the CERES gardens for a stroll, you might notice that something is a little... out of place. while most of the flowers and plants are of a reasonable size, there's one that's "planted" into the ground that looks as alien as can be. its roots have visibly lodged into the ground, and it seems to be basking in the sunlight's gentle rays. those petals sure look weird, too! and what the heck is up with that dark crescent opening and weird patterns on its head? welp, this is an alien planet. maybe it's not so weird after all.
if you're curious (or brave) enough for a closer look, you'll be greeted with two glowing, yellow orbs staring at you. that isn't any plant - that's a cradily, and you've interrupted her lunch/nap combo. her neck stretches as she begins to wake, and with the way those "petals" are moving and flexing, maybe sticking around isn't be the best idea...
...wait, those are tentacles. ]
III. ARON & AGGRON
[ if you frequent the junkyard (what a nice place to spend your time), you'll find that you aren't alone today. even the biggest behemoths need time to get fresh air and eat some good grub, and aggron is no exception. a junkyard full of steel means plenty of delicious leftover iron ore to snack on, and who doesn't love diving into a pile of snacks? no one, that's who.
aron has tagged along on the excursion as well - while she doesn't need nearly as much ore as her big brother, a growing girl needs her food! and with luck, maybe she can find something cool in this pile to bring back to her trainer. if they notice someone nearby, they'll stop their pigging out for long enough to look inquisitively at you. if you're friendly, aron will even waddle over to introduce herself and help you with whatever you're looking for. how friendly! ]
IV. BELDUM
[ the baby of the group always seems to get itself into trouble. beldum lives up to that reputation well, due to the fact that today, it's literally gotten itself stuck in a garbage can. that's really all there is to this prompt - in its latest attempt to be brave and independent, it decided that checking out that overturned trash can with space to float into would be cool... until it got spooked by the dark and turned it over completely, trapping it inside.
if you're passing by in the shopping district, you might be surprised to see an overturned trash can making distressed beeping and chirping noises while moving around jerkily. poor beldum isn't strong enough to lift it with its magnetism just yet - will you be its saviour? ]
V. STEVEN & METAGROSS
[ in a nice, peaceful turn of events for this post, you may simply come across steven and metagross in the residental district park. steven is taking the time to relax, book in hand as he rests against his partner's front leg. metagross doesn't seem particularly bothered at all, resting quietly and watching people go by. beside them lays a mask, its lips caught in an expression somewhere in between a smile and a frown.
if you know them, come on over and say hello! if not, come on over and ask what the hell that five-foot tall metal monster is! ]
VI. ALL
[ in the absence of a proper battling arena, the best place steven has found for training is ViViD's virtual environments. it keeps property damage to a minimum while allowing him to formulate strategies that can be fluidly applied to real life battles.
he's reserved time in one of the PVP arenas for space, but he's the only "player" inside. in the arena, he's surrounded by all of his team members (even the little ones), watching him with enthusiasm once they've been released from their poké balls. ]
We'll be doing some general training today - strength, agility, and move combinations. Let's do our best, everyone.
[ a champion has to keep himself and his team in tip-top shape, after all. if you're curious upon seeing that there's only one player in this arena, you'll walk in to see a virtual barrage of organized chaos - pointed stones erupting from the ground in various patterns, large boulders scattered about, acid bubbling on the ground, small, hastily dug holes in various areas...
and steven in the middle of it all, orchestrating each move. when he's not dictating move combinations, he's watching over agility training, watching his pokémon spar and helping them along. it's a scary, yet strangely captivating scene, especially because everyone seems to be having fun - even steven himself. it isn't often that you'll see such an excited smile on his face. ]

[ so says the man in a suit approaching rapunzel and cradily from the side. his expression is calm, but slightly exasperated when his eyes look to cradily. she, on the other hand, looks positively elated to see him, making a happy noise as her tentacles stand on end. he'll offer a stroke to her head, which she happily nuzzles into. ]
We've been over this. There's no need to show aggression to the people here. [ and to rapunzel: ] My apologies if Cradily here frightened you. She can be quite disagreeable when she's hungry.
no subject
Her eyes drop to Cradily. ]
Ah. It's... a she? I mean - she's a she. [ smiling ] I wasn't, uh, frightened though. Trust me, I've seen much, much worse. What... does she eat?
no subject
She is. [ he smiles as well, small and polite. ] She's partially plant-based, so she can take in nutrients from the ground and the sun.
[ he'll point down and up as he speaks - at the ground, she'll be able to see that there are several bulging roots sunk into the ground that are sourced from cradily's body. neat-o. ]
no subject
[ And, as you do, Rapunzel smirks to herself and holds out her hand demurely, showing her intentions before reaching to actually pet Cradily. ] And-- heh. What are you, then? The plant man?
no subject
Hardly. Cradily is only one of the many creatures I train.
no subject
Train to do what, attack?
[ HA HA!
:| ]
no subject
[ lol. ]

[ and it's completely humane! cradily certainly looks happy, unfazed by steven's words. it likes battling, in fact! ]
no subject
Is that what this is? A Pokémon?
no subject
Cradily is one of countless species of Pokémon that inhabit my world.
no subject
It definitely looks more like fauna than flora. ]
I'm... guessing your world isn't earth? Maaaaaybe you could show me more of these Poke - Pokémon things. They're really unique...
[ Don't mind as she peers some more at your Cradily man. ]
no subject
[ eveyrone else's earth seems to just have boring animals, which sounds like a total drag!!! but whatever, he can respect that.
if anything, he looks quite a bit more intrigued when she asks to see his other teammates. he's always proud to show off his friends to people that are impressed by them. ]
It would be my pleasure. [ he reaches behind his suit jacket to his belt, retrieving six poké balls. when they've enlarged from their travel size, he throws them into the air. ] Introduce yourselves properly, everyone.
[ with six respective flashes of energy, the poké balls open to materialize the rest of his team. when they're all out and facing rapunzel, they'll offer her a polite bow in unison. ]
