i swear i've seen this same guy come in here 5 times today with the same rattata...
and it's barely the afternoon! ಠ_ಠ
and it's barely the afternoon! ಠ_ಠ
what is he attempting to do with a rattata? those things are practically useless...
at least your day sounds more interesting than mine.

[ So, Prompto didn't go to work today, their last in Violet City. Why?
Well, the multiple pictures of several birds - Terry the now-Pidgeotto and Taion the now-Staravia - playing with Boko the Hoothoot and Aero the Pidove - might answer that.
And a text following. Well, multiple texts - three, to be exact. He's got a lot of thoughts okay. ]
idk if i'm ready for the gym yet, you going for it or nah?
look at these cool birds, noctis. they went all glow-y and then became bigger and i think thats evolution. i didn't catch it this time but i'll totally get it next time (is not letting them evolve cruel? i wanna keep my luxio a luxio? if she evolves shes no longer pokemon not found and that'd be dumb)
man it's hard choosing just six to take down to these ruins but there's gotta be cool guys and girls there. how do pokemon even enter a pc? does it mess with them? bcuz i know it'd fuck me up if i was shoved into one. it'd fuck anybody up, right?

[Noctis had just finished up helping some of the locals when his 'gear went off and he looks over the pictures with a grin as he settles down on a bench to reply. On his shoulder, Chocochick--now a Trumbeak--fluffs up some as she peers at the pictures as well.
Bird friends!]
I think i'm going to wait. i don't think I have anyone that's strong enough for something like that yet.
The same thing happened to a couple of mine! Yours look awesome. I'll have to show you Chocochick and Pride when I get back to the inn. (That's a good question. I heard from someone in town that you can get these things called everstones that stop them from evolving? So idk maybe it's not?)
Right? I've been having that problem too. I hope it doesn't hurt them. If it does I'm going to figure out how I can keep all of them out with me because I really don't want them getting hurt.

[ The Pidgey carrier fluttered down, gently setting down the bundle held in it's little talons. It nodded to Noctis and presented him with the envelope in it's beak before taking off. There's two letters inside. The first one reads: ]
DEAR BEAN,
I made this for you! I even used the HUMAN FOOD STUFF to make it super good :D I hope you like it!! We're going to explore SPOOKY RUINS, DANGEROUS FORESTS and SOME PLACE CALLED AZALEA TOWN soon! Ash thinks we might die. We won't tho we kick too much ass to die.
- Danny
[ Inside the bundle is a small Bento box! Danny had even tried to make it look a little like Bean; there's a rice ball with sleepy snorlax eyes and a big smile. It's certainly not a stunning work of art BUT AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE! ]
The second letter is in none other than Ash's handwriting. ]
Dear Noctis; Holy shit this is retro! Nobody sends letters back home; it's all email. But it's kinda nice to put pen to paper, ya know?
We're just about ready to roll out here! We're gonna head to the Ruins of Alph today, and either tomorrow or the day after we're off to Azalea, then Ilex Forest to get to Goldenrod. It's the long way round but I never actually got to like, camp out in the woods before! And there'll be tons of new Pokemon to see in there! Dunno how long it'll take for us to get to Goldenrod by the end of it but I saved up my cash and I think we're good to head out. Plus I got work experience now, so it should be a bit easier to get a job once we get there, ya know?
I dunno how long letters take to arrive, back home it's like...five days depending on what stamp you use? (And buddy I love ya, but I'm not using first class) so if you haven't heard anything from me, I might be dead in the Ruins. Or a ghost. Something like that. EITHER WAY I don't know if my Gear will work in underground spooky ruins so if I don't answer then that's probably where I am. If this does take five days to arrive to you.
...I have no idea what I'm doing with this letter anymore but I felt I better include something otherwise you'll get jealous of Bean. SO HERE YA GO. I'll catch you later!
- Ash
PS: DANNY KNOWS HOW TO WRITE, IT'S SO FUCKING COOL DUDE.

[Danny, you just made a certain Snorlax very, very happy.
The Pidgey that brings the letter and small package back to Ash is a bubbly little thing and it may take a moment or two before it actually gives up the goods.
The letter is written by Noctis, since Bean can't write by herself, though the stamped paw print at the bottom is clearly from the Snorlax--and that's definitely berry juice that was used as a stamp.]
Dear Ash and Danny-
Thank you guys for the package and letters! Bean really enjoyed what Danny made and wanted me to express just how grateful she was. (She tried to write a letter and it didn't work out too well.) She ended up sharing some of them with the others and they all seemed to like them as well so definitely a worthwhile recipe, Danny!
Bean wanted to send a gift in return, something specifically for a certain Lucario so the package is for him!
Be careful on the road and hopefully we'll cross paths soon!
-Noctis and Bean
[The package, once opened, would reveal the bandanna that Bean was always wearing--the one she'd gotten from Noctis as a Munchlax--and a few poffins.
Enjoy, Danny!]

If it isn't too much of a bother, could I ask you something? You are the only person I can think of who might know about this.
[Because it is magikarp related and Noctis has a fishing problem.]
[Because it is magikarp related and Noctis has a fishing problem.]
Yeah of course! What's up?
[This isn't a first but hey, it makes him feel good to apparently have knowledge to share.]
[This isn't a first but hey, it makes him feel good to apparently have knowledge to share.]
[ There's a picture of the street outside Ash's motel. It's been raining - still is drizzling a little judging by the picture and there's a lot of rain puddles. And in every puddle is a Magikarp. Every single one. Even when there's not enough room for them to be in there. And some have weird colourings. What the fuck.
There's clearly only one explanation for this bullshit. ]
And on this day, God realised Noctis had been a very good boy and deserved something nice. So he showered the world in fucking Magikarp. Praise the Lord for this bounty of fish and also Noctis, for being a good boy and earning this gift from Heaven.

YOU MAGIKARP-FISHING PUDDLEFUCKER.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THEY EVOLVED
I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING WATER PARK WITH SOME PALS AND SUDDENLY I GOT THIS SNAKE DRAGON PICKING ME UP IN IT'S MOUTH LIKE 'SUP ASH, LOOK AT ME NOW' ONLY IT'S FUCKING DISH. JESUS.

He's not a butler!! He's a steward, there's a difference!
[ The video opened on Ash, outside, with his Pokemon. Such a thrilling change of pace. But here is something different; he's with Diarmuid, his Kirlia, who bows to the camera. ]
Hey man! So, remember when we chatted and you mentioned the Kingsglaive? Apparently that got Diarmuid thinking and he decided he wanted to evolve. I didn't realise this but he can evolve into two different things, and he asked me to go and get this Dawn Stone from the Department store. [ He held up the stone in question. Smooth and round, it was more like a polished gem or pearl than a stone. There was a gleam within it, like a softly flickering star trapped within it. ] And since it came about cos of you, and he was okay with it, I thought you'd like to see. You ready Diarmuid?
[ He turned to the Kirlia, who nodded and held out a hand for the stone. Giving it to him, Ash picked up the camera and stood back. Diarmuid became engulfed in white light, growing to be a foot shorter than Ash as he changed form. The white faded, revealing a Gallade; and there was no mistaking it, he looked very much like the Pokemon equivalent of a traditional knight. Diarmuid looked at his arms and suddenly extended his elbows, revealing that his forearms were part of twin blades. Satisfied, he smiled and bowed to Ash and the camera, speaking telepathically. ]
My thanks. Now that you have declared my trainer worthy of knighthood, it was time for my evolution. I will ensure he follows the values of a true knight, even when his methods shall vary from the norm.
[ There's a pause before Ash speaks. ]
...Holy shit dude.

...Holy shit dude.
Hey, Ash~
[Noctis settles down on the bed in his hotel room as he answers the call, surprised to see Diarmuid there rather than any of the others that he's use to seeing. He's quiet as his friend explains and a faint smile touches his lips.
Huh. Good to know he could inspire others sometimes.]
I'd be honored. [It was always interesting to watch Pokemon evolve, especially the ones that involved stones. He falls quiet as Ash hands off the stone, lifting his arms briefly to allow Ana, his Sneasel, to crawl into his lap. They both settle in to watch and Noctis grins as the light engulfs Diarmuid because of Ana's little gasp, the Sneasel sitting up with wide, curious eyes.
The most surprising thing, at least to Noctis, is when he's addressed by the Gallade. He feels..sort of proud to be addressed like this, proud that he had a hand in the Pokemon's decision to evolve. A sincere smile appears and the prince nods.]
I have no doubts you will, Diarmuid.
[Ana let out a quiet little murmur from her place in Noct's lap, watching the other Pokemon will fascination. A knight? She wants to be a knight..]
Better not let him down, Ash!

Hey dude! Sorry I haven't been around these past few days. I got caught out in that big storm, and this herd of electric zebra went wild and just all charged down the road in a huge herd. I had to ride Crash to not get trampled but the electricity from them still went flying and got me a bit and completely wrecked my Gear. Which is why I couldn't get in touch :C
BUT after that, I had this big-ass steel bird drop on me! Her name was Hilde, it turned out she belonged to a friend of mine called Armin. Anyway she basically decided I was her chick or something, cos she kept patting me on the head with her beak, shoving a first aid kit in my face and found Caterpies to feed to me. I didn't eat them but she wouldn't stop so I sneakily caught one so she thought I had. I named her Chippy and she is a cute and sleepy friend :D
[ And attached it a picture of a sleepy, fat little Caterpie, curled up on Ash's arm. ]
But yeah, I made it to Fuschia! Which is how I have a gear again.
You been up to much?
[ ...yep, just your average couple of days for Ash, clearly ]

PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN OKAY? ESPECIALLY ON A FRIDAY.

[ The footage Noctis receives shows a beautiful, sunny beach outside Fuschia City. The sands are almost white, with the odd ledge of stone to decorate the shoreline. And in the beautiful, sparking blue waves are...dots of yellow. The camera zooms and- they're Pikachus. Pikachus that are either happily swimming or using planks of driftwood to paddle around. Some are even catching the waves, hopping up onto their back legs and hanging ten. ]
Dude. Dude. The legends were TRUE! Look at these fucking Pikachus! Some of them are even surfing! Oh my god, I- ur.
[ The camera zooms back to normal and lowers. In front of Ash is a Pikachu, who's looking at him curiously. It squeaks at him a slowed tone curiously. Shockmau5 stepped forward and began to squeak back to him, explaining who Ash was. ]
...But yeah, holy shit. This is amazing.

...Wait aren't Pikachu electric Pokemon? How the hell can they surf???
[Talk about awesome.
Noctis is grinning like an idiot as he watches the two 'Chus chit-chat, his Stuffel tilting it's head from it's sprawled perch on Noct's head.]
Looks like you've got a friend.

- 2017-08-09 17:23 (UTC) - Expand[ A surprise package is headed straight for you! A Staraptor has flown his way over and lands with a proud cry. He won't hand over the parcel until he's been praised because he's done good and you're gonna recognise that.
Once it's finally released, the parcel has quite a few things in it. There's a Magikarp shirt, a giant gummy Snorlax (Who needs this much gummy Snorlax??) and some poffins. But wait! There's smaller parcels wrapped separately, with Noct's Pokemons names on them. Bean's parcel contains some heart shaped berry candies that are suitable for Pokemon and people, but they are all for QUEEN BEAN. Kitty, Crowe and Amicitia get...a Protein each?? (someone had called in a favour for the Heist Crew). And Ana receives a used Dawn Stone, with a short note that reads; "Like this stone, potential radiates like a star within you."
And there's a handful of seashells in the box?? ]
So dude, figured I'd send ya some stuff! Turns out, Fuchsia's kinda wild even without the Pikachus at the beach. There's a NINJA school here?? I've checked it out and taken a course which was actually pretty tough. But get this; they used to have this place called 'the Safari Zone'. You'd pay some cash up front, be let in and it's like, a nature reserve for Pokemon! You weren't allowed to start fights there or take your Pokemon in but they'd give you some pokeballs and you could catch all these rare Pokemon for a day. But they got rid of it?? And instead there's some movie studios there??? They even had a zoo out front of the rarer mons so you could see them without having to go in or in case you did go in and just didn't see them but that's gone too! WHO DID THIS. WHY.
Aside from that, it's alright overall. The Pikachus always run up to see me when I'm at the beach and Diarmuid's been helping me to understand them. But I can tell he's not totally down for their hippie nature! Diarmuid told me that they all named themselves cos a human ain't gonna pick their name for them, they're independent Pikachus who don't need no man. There's one in particular that I think likes me, he's called himself Holokai. Which is hilarious and adorable. But they're really upset over the bullshit the weather's been doing lately and I can't blame them. Nobody knows why those legendary dogs being such fucks right now, do they? :/
Anyway, here's some things I saw that made me think of you. And there's stuff from the rest of the party too (which is why it took so long to get sent)! They wouldn't let me peek at what they were sending, so I don't know what your mons are getting. Sorry if it's poison/knives/GUNS or something equally stupid.
- From Ash (and- )
PS: I think the Pikachus wanted to say hi to ya, which is why there's some seashells in there!

[The Staraptor certainly does get a lot of praise because Noctis and his Pokemon appreciate the gifts.
His response isn't going to come in the form of a letter, though, because a certain trio is way too excited to want to write a letter. So Ash and his crew will be treated to a video call, Kitty, Crowe and Amicitia in the forefront and chattering excitedly about the Proteins they received. In the background, Ana can be seen cradling her Dawn stone proudly while Noct hands Bean the gift from Danny.]
An Tintreach you're the best!
Mentor is the coolest!
We're all going to be big and strong now!
[Noct seems to realize that a video call was started, the young man glancing over then double taking.]
You guys! I said I would call in a few minutes!

[ Well. Looks like shit got pretty serious. A trio of legends are behind the weather because of the absence of a Pokemon that...created them?? And another group of legends that seemed kinda similar (a blue bird, a thunderbird and a firebird compared to blue dog, thunder dog and fire dog) were gathering shit for their own 'master'. So when Ash appears, he seems serious. in the background, An Tintreach seems to be speaking with the wild Pikachus, and some of his other Pokemon are training; getting ready. ]
Hey Noct. I take it you heard the news and all. Whereabouts are you heading? Cos I know you're gonna get involved somewhere in all this. [ He knew Noctis wouldn't sit by and watch this shit go down. ]

[This was a lot to take in. Noctis had heard plenty of stories about the Legendaries and how powerful they were so this many being out and about at once?
When he responds to the video he looks pretty serious himself, arms crossed as Shepard let's out a quiet growl at some of the other Pokemon just visible.]
Mt. Mortar, I think. I have a feeling my trio of Gyarados and Bean could be really helpful there since they all know Surf.
[He looks at his 'gear properly and it moves, clearly being held by one of his Pokemon.]
What about you?

[ Ash is deep in the Seafoam Caves at this point. He's been helping people and Pokemon as best he can, from people looking for the legendary birds (he tried not to judge the people wearing '#CELEBELIEVE' t-shirts too much...but he completely judged them), Pokemon trapped or injured due to the activity in the caves and, of course, his friends who were helping him in trying to find the bird's lair.
During a brief break to help his Pokemon recover their energy, he decided to call out. Armin had Bert and Jean covered, but he needed to hear from Noct. ]
Noct, you there? How's the mountain?

[It takes a moment before Noctis responds, the prince having been in the middle of helping some people out of the fray and back to the tent city that had been set up.
When he does finally respond he's a bit out of breath and sounds a lot more tired than usual.]
Hey, Ash. Things are...going. It's kind of insane up here. How's everything down in the islands?

Hey, Ash. Things are...going. It's kind of insane up here. How's everything down in the islands?
It's around midday that Ash approached Noctis, An Tintreach at his side and Holokai riding on his shoulder. After seeing her 'pupils' evolve, An Tintreach had been on him so much about something. He only realised what when he saw her on his Gear, logged onto the Pokemon version of amazon and trying to buy a Thunderstone. Thankfully he didn't have a credit card here or info for one that she could use, since she had added twenty three Thunderstones to the basket (evidently not realising it had been added the first time and adding MORE everytime she tried to buy one. Or two).
At seeing Noctis, An Tintreach gave a loud hello, while Holokai lazily waved from Ash's side. "Hey Noctis! ur, bit of a weird request. Mind if An Tintreach sees your wrestling trio? We're gonna hit up the gym, but she's been on my arse about evolving so, I think she wants to show them." He dug in his pocket and showed Noctis the highly sought Thunderstone. An Tintreach noded eagerly at his side. she wanted to evolve in front of them and look them all in the eye!

Noctis was currently lounging against Bean, the Snorlax snoozing currently while her trainer read through something on his 'gear. At Ash's approach, though, he looked up, 'gear getting tucked away.
"The Trio?" he mused, waving at Holokai and An Tintreach. The Thunderstone is explanation enough and as Ash verbally explains, Noctis grins, already climbing to his feet. "They're going to love this."
Three Pokeballs are removed from his belt and in a flash of light the infamous trio appears, Amicitia punching his paws together while Crowe stomps and Kitty let's out a roar.
They're usual intro.
The noise, of course, does nothing to wake Bean.

- 2017-09-16 16:02 (UTC) - ExpandThey'd been in Olivine for a day and Ash was really beginning to understand the idea of a 'home' that called to you. He loved London, had been there his entire life, but he didn't miss London itself too much. Some of the feel of it yeah, like the gothic look of some of the buildings and the winding nature of the roads, but the smog, the arsehole cops, the pigeon spikes everywhere? Yeah he didn't miss that.
But Olivine felt...it felt good to be here. It was a large city with little alleys that reminded him of London in the best way, with clear skies and an ocean breeze and a beautiful, rocky beach. He knew they were heading towards the Safari Zone and that was the goal in their quest, but...well, he's totally asking if they could stay here for just a bit longer before they head off.
But first things first! He approached Noctis with a big smile, holding something behind his back. He had told Noctis about the Vulpix he'd found for sale (which was due to hatch soon!) but well, this as about the other egg he'd acquired! "Heeeeeey, Noctis. Guess who's got two thumbs and a newborn Pokemon, who was named by their best friend?"

Guess who's got two thumbs and a newborn Pokemon, who was named by their best friend?"
This was Noct's seconded time in Olivine and his feelings about the city hadn't changed. It was a gorgeous place, not too big but not super small either, and the smell of the ocean was just such a calming scent. He couldn't help but feel a bit melancholy about it all since the last time he'd been here Prompto had been with him but he just had to keep reminding himself that the blonde wouldn't want him to sink into depression over him. Prompto would want him to try and look on the bright side.
Which is why Noctis had a plan. He'd accumulated a far bit of money during his time in Johto and maybe, just maybe, it would be enough to get a small place near the beach. It was worth looking into, if nothing else.
Seated on his bed in the hotel they had opted to stay in, Noctis glanced over at Ash, an eyebrow going up as he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hm, let me guess...you?" he mused, leaning back, hands resting on the bed. "What's up?"

[Noctis' gear should be ringing with the notification of a video message coming through and whenever he gets around to opening it, there's a shot of a pair of feet clad in brightly colored sneakers and a Magikarp flopping around on the ground in front of them.]
What do I do with it?
[You're the fishing pro here, Noctis. Help her, senpai!]
What do I do with it?
[You're the fishing pro here, Noctis. Help her, senpai!]
[Oh my god, Sasha.]
Did you catch it while fishing or something? You can either keep it or toss it back.
[Don't let it flop around all by itself though, Sasha!]

Good Evening, Noctis.
I've made contact with Prompto. I can comfortably say he is from a different point of time than our previous incarnation. No, he does not remember anything fro his previous stay here. I apologize, I know it is not the best of news.
He IS from a further point in time than you are so you may face some changes in his personality. I feel they are positive in the long run of things.
For both his and your benefits I have decided to take the more scenic routes. He can adjust to life here in this world and you can reconcile whatever emotions you still need to work through regarding the relationship you had with him. I do recommend contacting him -- He is still Prompto and that means he is still your friend. I am certain you already know this. I am available to you as needed if you find yourself struggling.
On a different subject of note... I have been seeing a strange migratory pattern of Phantump and Drowzee. Others on the Network have made notation of the same situation and note these occurrences are indeed unusual. I have my own poor sleep patterns to contend with but I was curious if you too have experience a higher influx of nightmares? I feel that I am experiencing worse and worse cases and Prompto appears to be having the same distress.
Again, others have noted nightmares on the Network. I cannot ascertain if this is simply a reaction to the coming holiday and daily stresses thus creating a coincidence or if it is connected. Please let me know if you have any experiences as such.
Best regards,
Ignis Scientia

Hey, Ignis.
I had a feeling that was the case. I was told that sort of thing could happen so it is what it is, I guess. Once Ash and I are back from the Safari Zone, I'll contact you guys to see where you are and we can all meet up. I don't..want Prompto to think I hate him or anything. Or don't want to see him. It's just going to be weird..
I'll send him a message before then for sure, though. I promise.
Yeah, Ash and I are both experiencing weird nightmares too. I've been sleep like crap because of it and I've spotted a couple Drowzee like that one kid mentioned on the network the other day whenever I wake up. Whatever's going on they need to stop. Thankfully Carbuncle's been pretty diligent about keeping them at bay. It's just really weird.
Be careful, alright? Weird stuff like this usually leads up to something worse. At least that's what I've experienced since I got here.
Later-
Noctis

Now that the lab explosion had been exploded, Pokemon has been rescued and Ash had his old hoodie ruined by Bandit the Salandit spiting fire and acid at him, it was time to really get into a festive mood. He changed his clothes, brought out some more of his Pokemon to join him and hit the shops.
Naturally he had Danny right by his side, who was definitely taking a keen interest in certain of the displays with items aimed at Pokemon, and An Tintreach, who was doing an amazing job of clearing anyone who tried to crowd them with some smart flicks of her lightning bolt tail. Ash himself was wearing a Midnight Lycanroc hoodie gifted to him for his birthday by his team, so with it pulled up he could be mistaken for one of them at a glance. He messaged Noctis to tell him where he was of course.
"Hey mate! Doing some Christmas shopping while we're in town. Market here is great! Got some decs, about to do some present shopping but dya wanna meet up for a drink first? My treat :D! Ash"

Noctis had been in the process of...well. Trying to convince himself that getting out of his warm hotel bed was worth it. He wanted to visit the market but it was cold and this bed was ridiculously warm. So was the little Magby currently curled up under the blankets against him dozing happily now that she was somewhere safe.
His 'gear chimed, though, and he let out a grumble, reaching out of his cocoon to grab it off the nightstand. The annoyance melted away when he saw who the message was from - and what he was asking.
Careful not to disturb the slumbering Magby, Noctis rolled slowly onto his back, holding his phone over his head so he could type.
"I think I could be convinced to leave bed for that! You'll have to explain this whole Christmas thing to me because I'm not entirely sure what it's all about. But a drink definitely sounds good! Give me ten minutes to get ready. Tamale is still sleeping."

Soooo...I'm totally entering the contest they've been advertising. Have you heard about it yet?
Yeah I saw the announcement! I was thinking about it but I'm not sure who to enter. Who'd want to enter.
Though surprisingly Quay seemed pretty interested. I've never seen her perk up like she did over something that involves being in front of a bunch of people.

Something had been weighing heavily on Ash's mind since Christmas, and after running into the issue head on at the Contest...yeah, he couldn't sit on this.
What Ignis had revealed about his upbringing and his relation to Noctis was disturbing. There was no other word for it. It was disturbing to hear that a six year old child had been taken from his parents and put to serve a four year old. It was disturbing to hear Ignis insist such blind loyalty and to know that it had come from that, from basically being groomed to serve someone who was apparently going to be the next Jesus Christ and hanging a prophecy that foretold their death over him.
He didn't want to lose his temper with Noctis and this was something he knew he was going to get emotional and frustrated with. So he asked his calmest and most soothing Pokemon to come with him, in the hopes they'd be able to help him tame his temper. Holokai was at his side. Macavity had insisted, hoping he and Carbuncle would be able to keep the pair of them under control. In their pokeballs Ronan and Diarmuid waited, in case extra assistance was needed.
And of course, Danny held his hand, sending soothing aura washing over him. The nerves were already building at the idea of telling Noctis and him...ignoring this like Ignis had. Saying it was fine. He didn't know what he'd do, if Noctis turned around and acted like this...this was absolutely fine and normal. It helped calm the stormy sea of emotions but couldn't completely ease them.
He knocked on Noctis' door which was already unusual. Normally he knocked on the window.

Noctis had no idea what was going on between Ash and Ignis. It was obvious the two of them weren't on good terms, they'd been that way for awhile but lately it seemed worse. A lot worse.
The contest had been a nice break from things and seemed to brighten the mood all around, giving everyone a chance to relax and just have fun. But, of course, they had to get back to doing their usual routines eventually and back to Olivine it had been. Noctis had stopped in at the restaurant he frequently worked at to set up a schedule since he was planning on staying around Olivine for some time and then had just settled in at home. It was nice to be able to relax and being back in Olivine meant he could see the Squad regularly!
Apparently, though, things weren't going to be as laid back as he hoped.
Glancing over at the door when he heard the knock, Noctis set his 'gear down and got to his feet, stretching briefly as he made his way over. He assumed it was Prompto or Ignis since Ash never knocked on the door so imagine his surprise when he tugs it open and sees the latter.
"Ash?" Noct leaned against the door, frowning slightly at the obvious upset on his friend's face. "Everything okay?"
Having sensed the group coming Carbuncle pushed his way between Noct's legs, twin tails flicking nervously as he let out a soft twill.

Macavity was so excited. While he'd had the initial idea, it was Carbuncle who'd suggested how they could get it to work and here they were! Thanks to the help of Potato, they were gonna make Bean and Danny's Valentines Day!
Because really, Danny was a good friend. They'd been hanging out for ages, ever since he'd hatched, and he knew his friend's sadness at not being able to have eggs with his beloved. So, why not give them an egg they could look after as their own? Carbuncle had suggested they go and see Potato, and bam! They had two eggs they could give to them! Although they'd actually had four eggs altogether, but it seemed like a bit much to surprise them with four eggs. But they could give the extra two to friends of theirs instead.
Either way, they had a pair of eggs to give Bean and Danny. As their trainers were up to something (Macavity was leaving that to Étain, she was all over trying to hook them up), he trotted over to Carbuncle, tail wagging excitedly. "Brother!! Today's the day, right?"

Today was indeed the day and while Noctis had definitely been acting strange and Carbuncle was a little worried about him the Espeon was easily distracted by his own excitement.
"It is! It is, it is!" he cheered, tails flicking as he hopped in place before bumping his head against his brother's with a happy twill, practically vibrating with excitement. "They're going to love it! I can't wait! Bean's outside! Where's Danny?"
It had been getting harder and harder for Carbuncle not to spoil the surprise the closer it got to Valentine's Day so the fact that they could finally tell them was an immense relief for him, okay?

My dear, Noct.
It seems I am afflicted with an incorrigble desire to put pen to paper and express such things that I have buried since our youth in the Citadel.
Harboring affections for a friend who is also your future king is a difficult thing to manage and for nearly two decades duty and respect have resulted in the quash hitherto now hidden emotions. I am uncertain if it merely the holiday or something beyond that resulting in these words that burst forth but I have fought this scribing for the better part of the day.
Inappropriate is the word I would choose as well as betrayal of the bond we have to describe the love I carry. I hope revealing it to you in this world will not bleed over into the reality of our own. This place has been like a fever dream and it is my hope that when we return it remain just that in our memories if at all.
It is my hope you take pity on me and see this as what it is. Idle scratchings upon paper and a release of long standing turmoil so that at least here I might move on. I insist you not take anything written here as a plea to turn your eye towards me in anyway beyond the brotherly connection I have been so grateful to share with you.
Do not believe I harbor envy of the relationships you have had and will have. I am glad to be an integral part of your life in any capacity and only wish for the greatest joys to happen in your life.
I hope this letter finds you happy and that your dinner with Ash ended in your favor. The two of you are an excellent pair.
With affection,
Ignis

Starter Day is the greatest day. At least, it is for Danny. He and Ash had been working on something these past few weeks and he could feel it. They were ready, and he wanted to show it to Bean! Carrying Coffee in his paws, he was walking alongside Ash as they went over to Noctis'.
Given it was a day for your Starter Pokemon, Ash had been spoiling Danny a little. They'd gotten a muffin, roughhoused a bit, and Danny was insisting on seeing Bean and showing her the power they'd been training with. Although he had conveyed it as 'please let me see my beautiful wife and my beautiful child in the not-my-but-still-very-beautiful house.'
"Hey Noct! Bean! Happy Starter Day!" He called. Danny boofed in and Coffee wagged his tail, yipping into the house.

"Hey Noct! Bean! Happy Starter Day!" He called. Danny boofed in and Coffee wagged his tail, yipping into the house.
Noctis had already been doing his fair share of spoiling when it came to a certain Snorlax in his life. Queen Bean had been treated to a big box of Poffins that he'd picked out for her and she was sporting a rather lovely flower crown that alternated between lillies and roses. (And little Miss Sprout had a small one to match her momma!) By the time Ash, Danny and Coffee arrived everyone was settled in the living room watching a movie that was very quickly forgotten about because Sprout was immediately a ball of excitement.
Brother and father were here!!
The little Eevee scrambled out of her mother's lap, yipping and squeaking as she bounce-pranced to the door, the flower crown she wore falling over her eyes in the process which got a rumbling laugh from Bean.
"Happy Starter Day to you guys, too!" Noct said with a grin as he hopped up from the couch, grinning as he moved to intercept Ash and peck his cheek in greeting.

[ Ash had gone wandering off a bit out of Blackthorn for his morning run, so he was calling Noctis from Route 45. But it's clear he was excited and it's obvious why as he whispers to the Gear ]
Dude, look. Look!!
[ There's a flock of Spearow and among them is a golden one, feather's gleaming in the sun. It's beautiful. ]
I'm gonna try and catch em...but fuck I don't know who to use. Wait I got it-
[ Out comes An Toirneach! She squeaked to Ash who nodded to her, murmuring instructions to her in irish and pointing out the shiny Spearow. She gave a determined nod and the battle was on! using Thunder Wave, the Spearow in question was paralysed as the rest of the flock took off, and the battle got underway. The Spearow really didn't like that and launched itself at the Pichu, talons extended. A critical hit, and An Toirneach was on the verge of fainting. Ash reached for another Pokeball, but the Spearow as relentless and An Toirneach gave a loud, pained squeak as she was sent sprawling back to Ash. ]
An Toirneach! [ He scooped her up, dropping a pokeball. The wrong Pokeball. An Tintreach appeared, and saw the state of her daughter. And she looked pissed. Ash realised what was about to happen immediately, but he couldn't react fast enough. Needless to say, the Wild Charge An Tintreach used not only knocked out the Spearow, but also punted it into the sky until it became a shooting star. Ash watched it go silently, still holding An Toirneach as An Tintreach turned to him, putting her hands on her hips and looking very pleased with herself. ]

Ash reached for another Pokeball, but the Spearow as relentless and An Toirneach gave a loud, pained squeak as she was sent sprawling back to Ash. ]
An Toirneach! [ He scooped her up, dropping a pokeball. The wrong Pokeball. An Tintreach appeared, and saw the state of her daughter. And she looked pissed. Ash realised what was about to happen immediately, but he couldn't react fast enough. Needless to say, the Wild Charge An Tintreach used not only knocked out the Spearow, but also punted it into the sky until it became a shooting star. Ash watched it go silently, still holding An Toirneach as An Tintreach turned to him, putting her hands on her hips and looking very pleased with herself. ]
Ash?
[Noctis was getting better about mornings but this was still a little too early for him. So he's only somewhat awake when he gets the call which means it takes him a moment to really register what's going on.
And by the time he does, Ash is already bringing a Pokemon out--]
Are you sure that's a good idea? [It's said in a hushed whisper as Noctis watches, rolling onto his stomach, chin propped on his pillow now as Ana pokes her head out from under the blankets where she'd been curled up to watch as well. Both of them winced at that pained squeak from An Toirneach and Noct was about to say something but..well...
There was An Tintreach.
Needless to say he felt really bad for his boyfriend watching that shiny get punted sky high, both the prince and the Weaville beside him staring wide eyed for a long moment.]
...Shit. Ash, are--is An Toirneach okay?
[Let's..just not mention the shiny bird right now.]
