• A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.

Ask to Join A Journey in Alola!

Dayton looked at the Pokeball like he was disappointed. Then out of nowhere, he cracked a smile, and started cracking up. "'Wow! I just caught the frozen menace!' 'Ooh, what Pokemon was it?' 'Oh, it was the all-powerful SNORUNT!'" Daymon cracked, mimicking a conversation. Strangely, an older, feminine laugh could be heard from nearby. Daymon looked around again. "Wh-where did that come from?"
 
Kemen shook his head. "I didn't hear anything," he said bluntly, "Now, I think Daniel and I will be headed to the contest hall."

Daniel scrolled through his phone. "They're closing sign-ups for the city's contest tonight, so I've gotta get registered now, if I wanna compete tomorrow," he answered, "And wherever Teiran's gotten to, I suppose she ought to be registering for her showcase."

Rushing into the contest hall with his Braviary, Pari, flying alongside him, nearly knocking several people down, the rowdy Nimbasan arrived at the front desk. He panted heavily, gave himself a minute to catch his breath, then asked the receptionist about signing up for the upcoming contest.

(sorry for the brief vaguely disconnected introduction, i just didn't wanna do anything that disrupted the story right now as i kinda wanna get him to naturally run into someone at the contest)
 
"Alright. Can I see your contest pass?" one of the women at the desk asked, as Daniel handed over his form.

The coordinator dug around in his pocket, producing a small plastic card. "Yeah. Here it is," he answered, handing it over. The woman ran it through the scanner, before giving it back to him.

"Perfect. Now, would you like to request any props or special lighting, for the appeal round?" she asked, "Or are there any adjustments you need?"

Daniel glanced down at his virtually useless legs. "I'll need a ramp to get onto the stage, but that'll be it, thank you," he said cordially, "Now, are we done?"

"Yes, all done," the woman answered, "We look forward to seeing you in the contest, Daniel!"

"Thank you," the coordinator answered, putting his things away, as Kemen reversed him, just in time to see a rather clueless hopeful ask about signing up from another desk. Daniel thought nothing of it, though; he'd been the same at his first contest, not knowing much about how things worked off-stage.

The boy bounced up and down in anger. "What do you MEAN I need a pass? They don't make you do that at the musical in Nimbasa! Look, my dad is Elesa- that's right, GYM Leader Elesa's manager, and he can take down this contest hall!" The threat was completely false of course- his father couldn't care less about what he was doing, and would be reluctant at best to helping him with it. The receptionist finally obliged, not out of being intimidated, but more out of seeing his eagerness to participate. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" He was bouncing up and down with joy, while Pari cooed with mutual excitement. He walked away, and then realized he had no idea where to go. He looked around restlessly for someone to ask, then saw the couple. "Hey, do you know where I go for the contest?"
 
"Malie City has contests." Akio pointed to the city. Pidgeot nodded and went on he flew down right outside the contest hall. "I'm sure we'll see the others again soon!" Akio smiled. "So two more keys?" Akio wondered if she was telling the truth or not. Pidgeot opened the door for them. "Do you want to go in straight away?" Akio asked Teiran.
 
"The contest isn't until tomorrow," Daniel said bluntly, "But this is where it's going to be held."

He glanced down at his two other ribbons. Once he'd won this contest, he'd finally be able to enter, and win, the grand festival.

"Now, if you'll excuse us," Kemen began, "We have to go and find our friends. Teiran, that is, a performer we know, has a showcase to sign up for"--

The Nita King was cut off, as he noticed Akio's pidgeot by the door.

"My, my," Daniel began, "Did you come to pick us up, Akio?"

Ansel sighed in disappointment, hearing from Daniel of the lack of a contest today. Before he could say anything, the others arrived. His eyes were moving around rapidly with all the strangers talking. Pari flew over, curious about the other flying type which had just landed outside.
 
"Ah!" Akio was startled by Daniel. "I just dropped Teiran off so she could apply..." Akio said. Marowak suggested that Akio should get the next Z-crystal, Pidgeot disagreed and suggested that they should stay with their friends. Marowak aggressively disagreed and they had begin fighting. "GUYS!" Akio returned Pidgeot and gave Marowak a disapproving look.

Ansel's eyes glistened, having never seen a Marowak of either form before. He crouched down and stuck his hand out to see if it wanted to come forward.
 
Daniel cocked his head to the left. "But I thought that Teiran was a performer, not a coordinator," he said quizzically, face screwing up a bit, "That means she enters showcases, not contests..."

Kemen cleared his throat. "She's in the same trainer class as me, remember? I'm the Nita King, not the top coordinator..."
 
(For @gamora 's sake: Nita is my fanmade region, based on Spain)

Kemen was pretty surprised, at the stranger's intrusion. His home region was practically unheard of, but his title certainly wasn't; there were master performers all across the globe, and he was one of them.

"I'm the Nita King," he repeated, "The number-one performer in my home region, Nita. Don't you ever watch pokemon showcases?"

"What's a showcase, even?" Ansel scoffed, looking up. It sounded familiar, and he had probably heard of it, but it slipped his mind at the time.

Ansel kinda sat there awkwardly with his legs criss crossed rocking back and forth, not really sure what to do. Kemen was really handsome, and Nita King certainly sounded like an impressive title. He felt embarrassed that he didn't know it. "I'm Ansel, by the way." GOD why did he say that.
 
"Kemen," he said coolly, crossing his arms over Daniel's chest, "And yes, before you ask, I am taken, with this adorable coordinator!"

"Daniel," his partner added, face flushing at Kemen's touch. He was eager for Teiran and Akio to get back to them, about the matter at hand. Teiran wasn't giving up showcases for contests...Was she?"

Ansel blushed. "You mean like, you're working in a double performance for contests or showcases or...?"

"No," Daniel answered, "We're dating. We've been together for about two years now, haven't we?"

"Coming up for it next month, txiki," Kemen said happily, "We'll have to do something special for our anniversary, won't we? Especially if you end up becoming top coordinator!"

Daniel chuckled dryly, snuggling into his arms. "Of course," he sighed.

Ansel asked, flustered. "And, I mean, do people care? Like are people mean to you about it, or.." He'd never actually met a gay couple before, and wasn't sure how they were treated outside of his father's perspective.
 
"Not really," Daniel answered, "I mean, it's 2018. Gay marriage has been legal in Kemen's region since he was a little'un, and nobody but the religious nutjobs get on our back about it anymore."

Kemen gave him a wry smile. "Well, it's different for me, cuz I'm famous," he continued, "On the one hand, you've got thousands of people bleating about how awesome it is, to have a big star like me who's in a gay relationship. On the other hand, you've got the thousands who fancy me, and insist that I'm better off with them instead!"

"Gays can get married?" Ansel asked, trying to be nonchalant as possible. "My dad taught me that only a man and woman could marry eachother."
 
"Depends on the region, but yeah, gay marriage has been legal since 2005, where I'm from," Kemen answered, "I'll be attending Itzal's...My gym leader friend, that is...Wedding, when Daniel's done here."
 
Kemen and Daniel shared a glance. It was true that Nita was one of the most LGBT friendly nations in the world, but it was highly unlikely that the amount of gay people in the region was any more than that of those in other regions. Being gay was just more widely accepted there.

"There's no reason to think that being gay is any more common in my region, than it is anywhere else," Kemen remarked, "It's just that nobody makes a fuss over it."

"Oh." Ansel was flustered when he realized how many people were around him, how dumb he sounded, and how poor an impression he was leaving.

"So are you all doing the contest?" He asked, trying to change topic.
 
"Nope, just me," Daniel answered, "This will be my final ribbon, before I can compete in the grand festival. And don't you dare think that you're leaving here as top coordinator, cuz the title's gonna be mine!"

"You need ribbons to participate? I just threatened the receptionist so I could." That came out completely differently than Ansel intended, but he shrugged it off.
 
Teiran had spaced out for a couple of minutes, before shaking away her thought of nothing, and looking at where they were.

"Um...does this place hold showcases too? Or am I missing something?" Teiran asked, gripping the straps of her backpack.

Brionne slapped her forehead, as if to say that people must've gotten it mixed up...again.

"Well, I guess we can wait until later." Teiran suggested to herself.
 
Daniel shook his head. "You want to be a coordinator, and yet you don't know that you need a contest pass to compete, and you have to win three ribbons, before you can compete in the grand festival?" he sighed, "Geez, what a blockhead!"

Kemen turned him around to face Teiran, who finally seemed to have snapped back to life. "If the contest was being held here tomorrow, then I suppose it might clash with your showcase," he answered, "The showcase hall in this town is probably somewhere else."​
 
Daymon and been watching the scene from the corner, and he smiled. Dan and Kemen were so dedicated about their sexuality. He was glad Hoenn was so accepting, otherwise it might be weird, traveling with them. "Hey guys! I caught the Frozen Menace!" He yelled, and a bunch of heads turned.
"No way!" "It can't be true!" "He actually caught it!?" "That thing has been around for years! Even Todd couldn't catch it!" "Oh man! This is legendary!!!!!"
All the people began to murmur. A bead of sweat trickled down Daymon's head. "Welp. Who knows. I might make the news." He joked, making a lopsided smile. He heard people wondering what Pokemon it was, and he smiled, knowing their reaction would be priceless.
 
Duke saw the reaction from the crowd and had a chuckle. His Charizard rolled its eyes, all this amazement over just a Snorunt though Duke walked over to Daymon and gave him a pat on the back.

"Looks like I got competition in this hero gig eh Daymon?" Duke said with a joking tone as the crowd continued to gossip in amazement over what Daymon had done.
 
Daymon grinned. "I guess you do! I think I see a reporter over there... Heh..." He said, jokingly. "Guess you'd all want to see! Go, Frozen Menace!" He said, and out of the Pokeball came a cloud of ice and snow, shrouding the Pokemon inside. The crowd gasped, in awe of the powerful dsiaplay. "Reveal yourself!!!" He yelled, and the flurry subsided revealing.... Snorunt.
"Say WHAAAAAAT!?!?"
Everyone yelled, completely in shock. How had such a powerful Snorunt not evolved yet!? Daymon began laughing. "Hahahahahaha! I can't believe that this thing was a Snorunt! I was just as surprised as you were. Oh man was that great!" He said, wiping the sweat off his forehead as people wondered if he was lying. "Hey! I have whitenessess! Tell them what happened!" He said, grinning.
 
Duke had a chuckle at the antics of Elio and Wes before he moved next to Daymon to address the crowd.

"Well, I can attest that he managed to catch our little snow "menace" here and indeed this is the one that has caused you people this chilly problem. Though thankfully he has been resolved and I am certain he'll use its potential in a more productive manner." Duke said to Daymon as he offered some validation towards his claim.

Before the camera broke, Ansel ran in front of the camera and yelled "!@$& YOU DAD! I'M WITH THIS DUDE WHO CAUGHT A LEGENDARY, AND I'M GONNA WIN THE CONT-" before a couple of peeved members of the crew 'escorted' him reluctantly off camera. "Hey, wait, my dad could get your news channel destroyed!" The bluff didn't work so well for the crew, who threw him out of the building.
 
Akio hurt himself in confusion. "Yeah...sorry." Akio always seemed to be spacing out and not paying attention to anything. Marowak got startled by Ansel and jumped back. "Alright Marowak, he's just another person to meet." Akio shrugged and pulled up his town map. "Weird...it says they are going to be held in the same place at different times tomorrow..." Akio stared at the building and then to everyone else,
 
"Jeez! Whoa!" Daymon said, looking at his two other companions. The reporters looked at each other, and the cameraman said; "Well, some of this footage is usable. Let's get back to the studio." He said, and the two left. Daymon returned Snorunt, and he walked back to Duke. "Man, those two are real crazies, amirite?"
