This time, Adarsa watched the battle closely. Carnation bit the candycane, and it lost five.... health... numbers... and then the candycane sprinkled something on Carnation. And Carnation was healed, the green color seeping over the edge of his health bar. By a lot now, actually. "Why is it... healing you?" Adarsa asked.
Carnation didn't answer, firstly because it would be pointless because Adarsa couldn't understand pokemon speech, and secondly because he was a bird. He pecked at the audino's toes, though.

Frustrated, Adarsa finally pulled down the info ui screen thingie. "You're not hurt at all?" He asked, looking over at Carnation. The bird slapped the creature with a wing, who... sprinkled glitter on him?
This was a mess.
"Okay, okay, Carnation, um." He looked at the ui again. "Use... gust? I guess?"
Carnation looked at him, and bit the audino again. "No!"

Adarsa woke up with a yelp as Carnation slammed into him, knocking him off the log he had fallen asleep on. "Hey- don't fight me!" He snapped. What was even going on? No one looked worse for wear. "Wh- Are you two even fighting at all?" He had no idea how long he'd been asleep- or what they'd been doing in the meantime! Fighting? Playing patty-cake? Who knew!
Adarsa stood, still a little sleepy, and pointed at the candycane. "Fight him!"

This wasn't how the game was supposed to go, right? It was supposed to be engaging, and storytelling, and making you feel powerful, or whatever. Adarsa let out a long sigh. Maybe... maybe he should have brought a book?

The battle music was still going hard, and the battle absolutely was not. The pokemon were doing little more than gently tapping the candycane with his beak, and the candycane casting some sort of magic spell on him, which did not seem to be hurting him in the least. Adarsa sighed, and looked for a rock or fallen tree or something to sit on while he waited.

This wasn't really working. Adarsa got to his feet, pausing as... he heard battle music. Did this happen every time there was a battle? It... was kind of a bop, honestly. He bounced a bit on his feet, unable to help himself, as the battle commenced.
Battle was a rather strong word, though. The candycane wasn't too upset, and neither was Carnation. The bird shuffled his wings, and instead of tackling the pokemon again, just sort of... gently bit it with his beak.

A thing exploded out of the grass, sending Adarsa falling on his butt, and Carnation sprawling onto his chest. There was... a thingie, pink and cream. Like a candy. It blinked at them.
"G- Get off!" Adarsa brushed the pokemon off his chest, and pointed at the candy thing. "Go on! Get it!"
Carnation shook his head, and then his whole self, and threw himself blindly at the audino.

It took a moment before Adarsa realized the bird was no longer following him. He stopped, looking around for the little nuisance. The pidove had stopped, head stuck in a clump of tall grass. "Hey- What are you doing?" He asked, walking back over and prodding at the bird with a finger. It did not move. "Hellooo?"

Adarsa had returned to Birchwild. Why? Who knew. Maybe he wanted to run into Mars again. Maybe he wanted some other attractive man to rescue him from a giant evil fox monster. This place was rife with potential.
He strode through the grasses, followed eagerly by Carnation, who was hopping after his every footstep. The pidove didn't seem to have any thoughts, and Adarsa wasn't sure why he was still here. Maybe because Ada was wearing the sparkly sapphire earrings the bird had tried to steal. He didn't understand birds. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

Adarsa waited, a moment, as if expecting Mars to instantly respond. Or manifest. Or for a phonecall to jolt him out of the game. And none of it happened. He sighed, tucking away the camera, but keeping Dahlia in his arms. "Whatever, Dahlia. We don't need him, do we? We have each other." He cooed, kissing the top of the pokemon's head. Dahlia wiggled, little wings flapping in excitement. She had no idea what he was saying, but he was talking to her.
So, with another little squeeze, Adarsa walked into Mistra. In the span of passing from one route to the other, everything went dark. Not dark like eerie woods or fantastical locations, but... dark like the back streets of the city. Adarsa looked around- Dahlia no longer in his arms, and not dressed in his silly outfit, but a more normal shirt and jeans.
He felt his phone buzz in his pocket, and pulled it free. Oh, Mars had texted him?
Adarsa blinked at the ominous text, and turned. Down the street, scarcely lit by a winking streetlight, was Darcy. His back was to Ada, in a leather jacket and dark pants. But... what was he doing in Cali?
"Darcy?" Adarsa called- freezing as Darcy glanced at him over his shoulder, dark eye now seeming red and luminous in the low light, freezing Ada's heart in his chest.
"D... Darcy?" He tried again- and Darcy simply turned away, walking forwards into the blackness, and Adarsa was struck with a primal fear that, if he hesitated, he would never see his brother again.
Adarsa ran after him, into the pitch.

Adarsa had been so happy to reconnect with Mars, and then it had absolutely gone sideways. You can't do this, Adarsa, you can't go that way, Adarsa, that place is too dangerous for you, Adarsa, you can't trust people here, Adarsa. If Adarsa wanted a nagging lecture on safety, he would have called Darcy! He huffed, doggedly pushing his way through the surge steppe, towards the northern border of the route- towards the gate to Mistra.
Adarsa didn't know anything about Mistra. It was corrupted, Mars said to stay away, and that was reason enough for Adarsa to go there. He stopped before the portal, looking at the flickering darkness behind a shimmery, watery-plastic veil. It looked ominous. It... looked a perfect backdrop.
So Adarsa turned, pulling out the camera, and picked up Dahlia in his arms. He held the dunsparse up, and smiled winningly.
Having fun exploring UNOVR! Wish you were here 💖💓💋💋💋🔥 ˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖

Cool hands grabbed his face, forcing his eyes into Tuesday's, snapping him out of the panic and pain. "Mars?" He squeaked, even as the- as Tuesday kept talking over him. Mars? This was Mars? That explained the Týr's-day and the. Staring dead at a fox monster as she killed it. He- whatever. He didn't know. He didn't have any idea.
Mars was still talking to him. A shrine. Walk to a shrine? "I- I, um-" Adarsa felt his head turn, reflexively, to try and look at his leg, Tuesday's hands keeping his head in place. Okay. Don't do that. Uh. "... yes," He asked, very slowly, like he was trying to remember what conversations were. "I- prob... ably." What a stupid answer. He had no idea where the shrine was. It could be in Montana for all he fucking knew.
But... Mars had asked. Carefully, he tried to compose himself, keeping hold of Tuesday's arm as he tested his weight on the leg.

Adarsa glanced up when he handle was spoken. "Oh! I'm so sorry- I think I was a bit distracted. The pleasure's mine, Saint." He said, shifting around Tuesday to shake Sain't hand. And what a pleasure it was! Despite everything, Adarsa was standing in the sunshine, and had a pretty man at his side, and Mars- they were talking again after howevermany years!
What wasn't to like?
"Aren't they?" He gushed, tilting the wings in the sunlight, wachibg them glitter and flash. "I'd love the help, thank you!~"
It was only when the wi gs were settled that Ada tuned back in to the conversation. "Chal- What do you mean, gliding challenges?" He looked between aghast and blindsided. "Is- is this not just like a date? You fly around together? It's nice? What challenges?"

Hi so okay when the button said "Tower of Cats (Rematch)" he thought, y'know, that there would be a tower! And it would have cats! And, yeah, this was a tower, so good job team!
EXCEPT IT WAS NOT FULL OF CATS.
There were groundhog things, running around, armed to the teeth- l i t e r a l l y- with swords and shields and pikes and spears (and, like, what was the difference between a pike and a spear, anyway? Weren't they the same?)
Adarsa just sort of stood in the entrance, looking uncomfortable. He didn't want to go further. It was gross. He fished in his bag, grabbed the first pokeball he found, and threw it at a groundhog's head.
Orchid plopped onto the ground with a solid plap. The groundhog hissed, going over to poke him with his pike/spear. Orchid squeaked, and flaked off a small dusting of snow in surprise. The groundhog hissed, skittering back into the swarm of other groundhogs.

Tuesday was talking about mythology again- who could have guessed? Adarsa rolled his eyes- and shot her a glare when she looked at him, with the snippy little Icarus comment. How had it been so endearing in college?
Why was it still endearing now?
And why was the moment instantly shattered when Tuesday spotted a sailboat/surfboard lovechild?
Adarsa cocked his head at her, blinking. "What... is that?" He asked, having never seen Treasure Planet growing up. But, of course, Tuesday has already moved on, because why would she answer him?
He meandered over to the table as she pondered whatever, looking at everything there- and finally picked up a cute little number with little batlike wings. It was an inky blue, and had sparkly little flecks of white like stars. It... was perfect.
"What do you think?" He asked, showing it to Tuesday, like she would have anything positive to say.
