[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]Not totally in ruins He'd seen worse. That was the prominent thought in the mind of the Kanto native when he took in Dewford Town in all of it's glory. His initial thought was that he'd seen worse looking towns in far worse states of devastation and disrepair. Hell, Crimsen was from worse. At least Dewford still had solid structures and a leader. He waited patiently in the center of town for his contact, unsure of who exactly he was looking for. By, now he'd been on so many NOX missions in foreign lands that his mind began to reach back into memory to help predict what kind of partner he would have today for this mission. Usually his partner were pretty girls who were seemingly out of his league. Although thus far he had been paired up with Surge once. Given the parameters of their assignment it would have been better to want a partner with some decent water-types. Crimsen just wanted someone he could casually flirt with while the work got done. He knew the mission would be a wet one so he had come prepared. So prepared in fact that he'd even had his partner covered, at let in terms of his pokemon team. With a flick of his wrist and a flap of his jacket, a pokeball hit the ground. With a sigh of defeat the young gentleman resigned to his new look; Jinton, his abra clinging to the back of his head.

She remembered Dewford from her childhood, a town their ship stopped by for three days to stock up or so before moving on with their journey to Kanto. It looked better then, of course, sunny days with smiles and laughter and a surprised squeak, meeting her first Pokemon.

She could almost feel Aria's excitement, coming back to this town. Well deserved, the Aggron must miss her home terribly. In a way, it would be useful if Aria could still remember the layout of the cave.

"Thank you Plume," She returned the Archeops back to the pokeball. It had felt odd, flying with a strange, new Pokemon. Her usual flier...

Stellar shook her head. She refuses to let herself think this now, not when she has a mission to accomplished. She had came as prepared as she could, lightened loads with a water Pokemon and Aria for guidance if needed.

The girl looked around Dewford. It can't be that hard to find her partner in this island, right?

[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]Not totally in ruins Jinton was never as lax as he seemed. Between the ungodly amount of sleeping he did, coupled with fact that he could only perform one move and spent most of his conscious hours in the presence of battling titans of his pokemon peers or other extreme situations. He was a bit skittish and prone random teleportations if he was awake for too long. Luckily he was well rested, Crimsen needed the little guy on top of his game for battles and missions. While waiting he took notice of the long-flowing locks of a young lady wandering about almost as aimlessly as himself. What were the chances that she was his partner? Given how few other people he saw wandering around the chances of her not being the one he was looking for was fairly low, but even if she wasn't he still wanted to chat her up a bit. If she was a native maybe she could help him find the path he needed to get to Granite Cave. He resolved that any chatting would make for a good way to pass the time. "Color me a shade of 'vexed' Miss... but could you possibly point me in the direction of Granite Cave?" Between the abra clinging to the back of his head and his asking for directions he made it clear he wasn't from around here. If the long-haired beauty before him was his partner the Granite Cave part in particular would ring a few bells. "I'm Crimsen... by the way." [/style]

Maybe she shouldn't be so surprise that someone would eventually talk to her, considering she doesn't even know she's suppose to pair up with. Someone is bound to talk to her. Most likely her new partner, is it?

"The Granite Cave?" she smiled at the stranger. Of course she knows where it is. She remembered the direction to the play she curiously sought out when she was younger with her siblings, the place she met her first best friend. "Of course. Uhm, I'm heading there myself, but I'm waiting for someone right now. If you could wait a bit then maybe we will all head there together?"

"Nice to meet you Crimsen. I'm Stellar."

[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]Not totally in ruins What was it about girls with long hair that made him insane? He would have like to have smacked himself for even beginning to gawk at her, but he managed to refrain. To cut the tension he resolved to tell her of his attraction to her when the moment was more appropriate. Namely, once he'd known her for more than thirty seconds. "That would be kind of you, Thanks. I don't mind waiting at all." As he began to wait however a thought came rushing back to him. "I'm extremely sure the Grantie Cave is flooded... or... broken... or something to the effect of it being closed to the public for the moment." He exasperated a bit from not having read his mission parameters over once or twice more because now he couldn't remember the details. Only the important stuff stood out: Dewford Town Granite Cave Underwater passageway to aforementioned 'Granite Cave' Cache of Water Stones Strong water types required. "That being said, if you we're heading there and you're also waiting for someone that someone is probably me." He began to stretch and ponder the best way to reach the cave. He had many an idea on how to breach this underwater passage but there was a chance Stellar had a better idea. She was after all, more familiar with the area. So like any true gentleman he incurred not to make all their decisions as a team, by himself. "Alright Stellar, in the off chance I'm not the person you we're supposed to meet we're going to assume that guy... or gal... was eaten by bears. Their loss, our gain. I'm supposed to go down there and collect water stones if your mission down there is a little different I can help you with it so long as you help me." His hands ghosted over a few of the pokeballs he had on his person, attached to his waist. "I'm all fired up to work with you but for our of safety and efficiency as a team, we need to lay ground rules for one another." Returning Jinton his pokeball (as he just now decided he might not need the teleporter's abilities). His hands came to rest in his jacket pockets as he stepped closer to her, giving her a chance to get used to him being in her space, which was bound to happen once they were in Granite Cave. "I only have one rule for you, for all accounts and purposes of this mission..." He grinned at her, his expression was one that was half deviant and half amused. "you and I aren't just partners... we're married." For full effect he got down on one knee, taking one Stellar's hands into his own before continuing on. "Obviously the key to any and all relationships is communication. So as my wife for the next couple of hours, I'm going to need to make sure you're communicating with me and as my wife I need you to make sure I'm doing the same." "If something is off to you... or if there's something on your mind, speak it, it might save my life down there and keep you from becoming a widow." He smiled at her, sincere and not wanting to drain all the potential fun from their mission. "Now Mrs. Crimsen... what are your ground rules for me?" [/style]

[atrb=Valign, top] Stellar blinked. And then all the logic that had mysteriously left her earlier came back in a hurry, and she let out a surprised gasp. "You're the person I'm suppose to meet!" Seriously, though, eaten by a bear? The thought was amusing, but highly impossible...though maybe.... "...I do have the same mission with you," she grinned. His upbeat attitude is lifting her own spirits, and she plans to cling on to this happiness for a moment, especially after so many nights of crying and nightmares. Crimsen's next sentence made her pause. Ground rules? She blinked again, finding this unusual. After all, most partners she work with hardly have any rules, they just do it and hope for the best. Now to think about it, it was a pretty reckless and ridiculous idea. But that didn't stop her from gaping at him. 'We're...what?' The shock haven't settled in so she didn't pull back when Crimsen took her hand. It finally seems to settle in when he calls her Mrs.Crimsen. "I-I-uh-I-" she stuttered, unsure of what to say, her eyes wide. After all, she didn't usually set rules and oh my Arceus, she's MARRIED! ...wait, it's only an if, right? "I," she took a deep breathe, "I don't really have rules, because I don't usually set them..." she trailed off, slightly awkward and a blush on her cheeks, "I suppose just...just don't die?" It was the first thing she could think off, her Noctowl's death still fresh. She doesn't think she could handle it if Crimsen died.

[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]til death do us part "don't die huh?" He closed his crimson tinged eyes, contemplating the ramifications of upholding her purposed rule and the ramifications of breaking it. ...as if it required much thought. She was pretty good, making him grin and smile more than he meant to. She was awkward and adorable and it seemed they were beginning to resonate in a manner that would make them more cohesive once they reached the underwater mission site. "one... we're married, and two, don't die..." He stood up, taking her hands once more. "I think I can handle those rules, nothing too complicated about 'em." With a swipe of his hand from waist he wasted no time presenting his plan for reaching Granite Cave. The fallback plan in the case of Stellar didn't have a better plan. The pokeballs hit earth ejecting their contents and rebounding back to the hands of the young man that released them. He replaced them back in their slots on his waist in the most fluid of motions, all the while watching the red lights they ejected fade in color to pink and go from light constructs to jiggly jiggly flesh... ....ditto flesh. "The boys here will help us get to Granite Cave" As if it had been ordered to do so Gan, one of the ditto began to wander towards Stellar. Crimsen's reaction was strange. As if he anticipated it would happen he stepped on the quick sliding Gan before he could slip away. Reaching down and picking the pokemon up he tried his best to mutter so Stellar couldn't hear and so that Gan didn't think he was angry. Ditto always seemed like a rather sensitive breed of pokemon, he always felt bad disciplining them emotionally by yelling at them. The physical discipline however, didn't bother him at all as it didn't really hurt them at all. "I thought we talked about this." Pinning the ditto under his armpit he continued to his wife. "I know Ditto are genderless but when I look at em, I dunno, genderless seems inaccurate, so I call em 'he' and 'him', and the 'boys'. Anyhow I'll use Gan here and you'll use Sha. They're gonna be our scubasuits...." "...minus air tanks and minus breathers. Of course this plan is only if you don't have something else in mind. See what a considerate husband I am?" He chuckled somewhat. It hadn't dawned on him just yet that there was a chance that she wasn't familiar with Ditto thus rendering his plan insane. [/style]

[atrb=Valign, top] She felt silly. Her words rang back to her ears and she felt silly. How could she ask someone not to die? It wasn't like they control what is going to happen to them. But Crimsen's nice. He agreed, and even smiled at her. There was a peaceful feeling settling over her, and her optimistic mood began to come back. Nothing is going to go wrong with this mission this time. He's really efficient, the girl noted. She kept her ears open, eager to listen to everything. It'll decrease the chances of this failing, and she's all up for that. "Dittos, I've never seen one in real life," she murmured in awe. Growing up in Celadon has its perks; Dittos were just one Pokemon she studied that live in Kanto, since they are very interesting and all. She never truly seen one before, so Stellar was delighted when one began to slide closer to her. She was just about to reach down and pat the pink Pokemon, but Crimsen beat her to it, much to her surprise. "They are awesome," she remarked, "Awesome guys." A cheeky grin at how he mentions their gender; he really do care about them, and the thought of it warms her. Not just someone who uses their Pokemon. "So you're Sha?" Stellar reached down and pcked up the other Ditto, who seems rather shy, "Hello there." She gave a gentle pat on where she assume is appropriate. "It seems like you have a really well thought out plan," a blush on her cheeks; now she feels incompetent, but she had never been good at planning ahead, "I only brought an extra change of clothes and my water Pokemon. I'm sorry, I'm never good at planning."

She gave him the go-ahead and even a compliment on his plan and ability to plan ahead while apologizing for not having plans of her own. He made a mental note of her claim that she wasn't good at planning. It was better for him to find out such things now rather than in a moment where he was unprepared as well. He knew from here on out, whenever he worked with Stellar in the future, he would have to be the one with the tactics for both himself and his Mrs. Working with Stellar in the future... The thought made him smile to himself. "Some people are more meant to live in the moment... to each his... or her own. The beautiful thing about marriage is that we don't have to be perfect, at least not our own. We only need to find someone to balance out our weaknesses. In it's truest form love is symbiotic." He seemed to be jarred from his own little world when he realized he'd said those things aloud. He was usually better at keeping his opinions and theories to himself. Snapping his fingers once would cause the ditto to look at him, alert, and patient. "Sha... Gan" He removed from his jacket a large folded poster of a uni-sex one-piece diving suit. Laying it on the ground flat for the two to see, he allowed them a moment to take it in before issuing them their orders. "TRANSFORM." In all the years he'd had the two of them they'd transformed to many an in-adamant object and in a pinch they were two of his most useful pokemon. Within moments they would prove it as Crimsen would have a diving suit under his armpit and Stellar's, over her arm. With a quick exam of Gan it seemed like the transform was effective. ... ... ...aside from the creepy places their faces ending up on the suits. [/style]

[atrb=Valign, top] There was something beautiful about his speech, the fact that he doesn't mind that she isn't capable of planning. It is true that people like Stellar are often thought to be disadvantaged in the war, because recklessness is nearly equivalent to no sense of self-preservation, a burden. Stellar pushed the thought aside and watched with childish fascination as the two Dittos transform. "Wow," she breathe in wonder. They look so alike like the suits in the poster, it's really, really cool. They are great Pokemon. She held up hers, wondering just how many people uses Ditto in the war. They seem like they could do anything! And then she noticed the eyes. At first, she thought it was part of the suit pattern, so she took a quick look at the poster again. Nope, none of those pattern. Those are the Dittos eyes? "Well, I can see you Sha," she giggled slightly at the face on the suit's stomach area. "Let's head over to the Granite Cave?" Stellar looked up at Crimsen, "Or should we change to them first?" Would they feel weird? The same as real suits?

Trying his best to pretend that he didn't look like an idiot with Gan's face plastered on the butt section of his suit. "Either way works for me... so maybe you should take charge for the next phase; getting down to the cave..." He stood there, the bottom half of his body in the diving suit, the top half...? He was still waiting on her word. He put the suit on over his regular clothes and was surprised at how roomy the layers of clothing all felt. "Ladies first..." She wouldn't have to take off her own clothes to put on the suit so he thought nothing of watching her decide. How far was the entrance from here and how long was he going to have to hold his breath on the way down? [/style]

Depends on your definition of treasure

[atrb=Valign, top] Maybe it was a good thing that Stellar didn't notice where Gan's face ended up to. That was a rather ridiculous place after all. Stellar blinked and nodded, agreeing with Crimsen. She'll put on the suit when they get to the cave; she didn't want to tire Sha out so fast. At least, she assumed Dittos get tired when stretched like that. Shyly, she reach out to take Crimsen's hand and lead him to the cave. "It's not very far," blush and trying not to meet him in the eyes, "It's just right around the corner of...here." And there was the Granite Cave in all its glory, or as much glory it has. To Stellar, it doesn't look like it changed, much, but she wondered if Aria could see any changes. The Aggron would know better after all. "Could you give me a second? I'll just change real quick," after all, it's not like she knows which part of the cave is flooded, so it's better to change just before they entered. There was some trees nearby, so she quickly put on Sha, whispering 'thanks'. It felt normal, which makes Ditto's transforming ability all that more mysterious. How do they do it, she wondered lightly. "I'm back, sorry if it's long," Stellar let out a breath, "Uhm, shall we go in?"

Though he also wondered how much of it was her true self and how much was the face she put on for new acquaintances.
