thetombkeeper | IC CONTACT

[Marik doesn't even bother letting his Gengar out. Usi comes out on his own since everyone else is out. He waves excitedly at Fluttershy despite having seen her before they left his trainer's house.

The tomb keeper rolls his eyes at his pokémon's antics. Both of them.]

This way too, we can get vegetarian broth and ingredients.

[He holds his hand out towards the pinkette.]

Shall we then, m'lady?

[Gotta get into the role of being her knight, you know.]

[ Fluttershy giggles, returning the wave to the Gengar before turning to Marik and taking his hand with a smile. ]

Thank you.

[The group head off to the ramen shop. Once they've gotten their food and find a nice place to sit, Marik decides to engage in conversation between shoveling noodles into his mouth.

Oba happily munches on mochi, Usi and Chenzira have small bowls of soup for themselves. Chen, being the good boy he is, offers some to Fluttershy's pokémon even if they have their own food.]

Thanks for always humoring me during Halloween. I know it's not your favorite but... I hope I've made it a bit more enjoyable for you.

[ Allegra and Petunia politely decline Chen’s offer, content with their own food. Archie does take a bit of the extra, since he does eat a lot due to burning extra energy.

Fluttershy is all too happy to listen to Marik talk as they eat. The words have her smiling, and she nods. ]

You have. But I always like spending time with you. [ She stirs her noodles with her chopsticks, quiet for a moment. ] Plus, I know you didn’t get to do these kinds of things when you were growing up, so I like seeing you getting to enjoy yourself.

[Chen's always happy to share, especially since he knows not to overeat like Marik's other pokémon enjoy doing.

The tomb keeper smiles more confidently.]

I like spending time with you too. I can't believe we're going on 2 years together now...

I'm so thankful I have you to experience these things with. It's been so wonderful, Fluttershy...

[He sits up to carefully lean across the table and press a kiss to her forehead.]

I know. Time really does fly, doesn’t it?

[ A blush lights up Fluttershy’s cheeks at the kiss, and she can’t help the soft, shy smile she gives him as he sits back. ]

I’m glad I could be here with you. I’m glad I got to meet you.

It does.

[No matter how long it's been, seeing Shy get sheepish like that always warms his heart. Marik can't help but grin cheekily.]

I'm glad I got to meet you too. You've helped me in so many ways. I know I'm away from home but... this is the happiest I've ever been in my life. I wish Ishizu and Odion were here to see..

I know what you mean. I wish my friends were here, I’d love for them to meet you. I think they would like you a lot.

Ah...

[His cheeks flush slightly and he rubs the back of his head.]

You really think they'd approve of me? I-I'd be honored if that was true... I know my siblings would love you, Odion in particular.

[ooc: I think I'll have had him stay after the 4th wall day when he returned in this verse so he's been updated to end of series. This way he's at least gotten to go home and spend more time with his siblings beforehand.]

(( Awwwww yes ))

[ Fluttershy nods. ] I’m sure they would. I think you would’ve gotten along with Sunset Shimmer, especially. She plays more video games, but I think she would enjoy Duel Monsters too.

[ Plus she and Marik probably would’ve been able to bond over… certain things in their pasts. ]

I know it's not a good idea to get our hopes up but... maybe someday they'll all show up. That would be amazing...

[He continues to eat for a bit before continuing.]

Heh. Odion could get a job at the daycare. He'd be good for that. Sister... Huh... What could she do... Maybe she could do better research on the ruins and the like.

[A pause.]

I-I mean, they don't need to actually work with, uh, how successful my business has been but you know... sort of like how you still work at the daycare?

Right. They could find things they would enjoy doing. I’m sure they’d have fun here.

Sometimes I think of what my friends would do if they ended up here too. I think Rarity would do so well participating in the contests. And Twilight would probably love researching Pokemon too.

Yeah! It'd be fun to see what pokémon they got for themselves too.

[He chuckles.]

From what you've told me of Twilight, I think she and Ishizu would get along great.

[ Fluttershy nods, pushing aside her bowl of ramen, already feeling full. Fortunately Archie is quick to take the leftovers. ]

I think they would too. Twilight is really smart, and it sounds like Ishizu is too. I bet they’d enjoy uncover the mysteries of this world together.

[Marik polishes off the rest of his ramen then sets his bowl off to the side. Chen's the last to finish his food.]

Gods, would Ishizu love to do that. I know I tried a while back but couldn't make much sense of it...

Ah...! She could open a museum! I'm sure there's plenty of artifacts that haven't been found yet. Given her position in my world, that'd be perfect for her!

Oh, that sounds perfect for her! There’s so much research to do about the history of this world. Especially with that spot in Sevii Islands that have all those paradox Pokemon.

You're right. Or if we could find that region we were all transported to that one summer. I'm sure there's plenty to find there.

You know, that could be fun... Taking a vacation to a different region.

Oh, that would be a lot of fun. Or maybe we could try taking your yacht somewhere? Even if we don’t go all the way to a different region, a small trip could be nice.

Yeah! I like that idea. We just need to plan on where to go.

In the meantime, I think everyone's done with their food... so should we go shopping or walk around and take in the sights a bit?

[ Finishing her drink, Fluttershy nods. ] I don’t mind taking our time, so we can look around a bit before shopping.

I believe there's a walking trail around here. I thought it might be nice to do that and see all of the tree turning.

Oh yes, that would be lovely! I love seeing all the colors on the trees during the fall.

Maybe we can take some selfies too. Put them in our photoalbum and scrap book.

[The rest of his team seem excited for the aspect, even if Oba's dozing off from all of the food. Usi and Chen are definitely on board though.

So the group heads over to the walking trail and Marik makes the bold move of wrapping his arm around Shy's as they begin walking down the path.]

Even after all of my time here, it's still incredible seeing the seasons change like this...

Oh, that’s a lovely idea!

[ Fluttershy enjoys capturing moments to remember.

The arm around her surprises her a little, but she smiles and leans a bit into him as they walk. ]

Isn’t it pretty? I love all the colors during fall.

[It's an excuse to do cute couple things together so he'll take every opportunity he can get.]

It really is. It feels almost... other worldly in a way.

We should take some fallen ones for your scrapbook.
