Gary the Garchomp

Not your average shark-dragon-thing!

0 · 532 views · located in Shalour City

a character in “The Multiverse”, originally authored by redapple8766, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

When you think of a Garchomp, you think Gary. He looks nearly identical to any other Garchomp, at 6' 3". He has a long tail like a shark, fins like a shark, but walks on two legs like a person. Since his legs aren't very good for walking, his gait isn't quite so fabulous. He can, however, fly at about 1235 kilometers per hour. This tires him out, however. He also eats a lot more than he should as a result, the fat bastard.

Equipment
When residing at his home at the beach, he wear a t-shirt because..... he can? Also, he carries around a few knicknacks around with him wherever he is, namely his compass, his matchbox, and a bar of soap.

Weaknesses and Resistances:
Gary loves ice cream, but hates ice, ice types, and snow, being 4x weak to them. The one thing he hated about Unova was that it snowed. Imagine: Literal poison falling from the sky! Not his thing. He is, however, completely immune to electric types, and resistant to the scum that is steel, rock, and fire.

Abilities (always active):
Rough Skin: Gary loves hugs, but, thanks to Rough Skin, finding someone to hug is simply an impossibility.

Moves:
Dig
Sandstorm
Takedown
Earthquake
Fire Fang
Dragon Rush
Swords Dance
Rock slide

History
Born in Unova, he has switched trainers about 13 times. He hasn't got one right now, and it might just stay like that. He lost his last one in an airplane crash when smuggling goods into Aether Paradise

Gary smiled his big, clumsy, toothy smile, and said,"Alright, let's go. I cannot wait to become more power-, er, better bonded with you"

On the plane, he was fiddling with a chess piece he found at the beach. On the TV on the plane, a program was showing the Tower of Mastery. He leaned in and watched more closely. 2 trainers battled their Lucarios on the balcony. These Lucarios looked strange, with more tendrils and more orange. This must be the mega evolution Titania was talking about!

Suddenly disinterested and tired, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of baguettes and mega evolution.

Stepping off the plane, Gary yawned and rubbed his eyes, taking in the sights and sounds of Kalos. "I can work with this", said Gary. The thought of him back in Kalos filled him with exuberance.

After picking up their bags, Titania and Gary made their way to the Taxi. There, they asked to go to the Route 13 gate, but not before stopping by some of Kalos' many Cafes. Once at the Route Gate, they got off the Taxi and entered the path to route 13.

After a few hours, they finally got to Shalour.

"All right, I've had enough of your lip, Gary. Return." Titania recalled Gary in order to look up his stats. Hmm. Not too good. Might need to head back to Alola and pursue this Hyper Training thing, but first things first.

The sea was at low tide. Good. The path was open. Titania walked briskly along the beach path, only to be stopped by a strange looking figure with no apparent hands.

"Uh...hi. Are you standing guard to make sure I prove myself worthy before entering?"

The woman looked back, over her shoulder. "I don't know. Am I? Perhaps. I have been wondering about it myself. I think I would know it if I was, though. I asked a few others, but they didn't know either. So the answer is unclear."

She shook her head and demonstrated a neutral smile as she turned to face Titania. "But, I guess that's okay. It's not too important. You seem pretty strong, but remind me of a Combusken. I can feel the fire and the recklessness. I can tell you're also very noisy when things don't go your way. However, you lack the feathers and bravery."

Tilting her head and body slightly ajar as she assumed a thinking posture, she shrugged. "Maybe lacking that means you're not a Combusken. The feathers and bravery, that is. Can we ever be Combusken? I don't know. I don't believe I can grow feathers, though perhaps you can. They are soft, and reassuring. Comfy too. They keep you warm."

In her rambling, the woman smiled a soft smile, eyes closed. It was more a grin, but a satisfied one, confident in its own conclusion. "Yes, you just need some feathers. You're too hard." Following the statement was a giggle. "You look like you haven't heard of me. My name is Rachel, since you will ask. They all do. It's a meaningless little title, but it makes them feel like they know me better. You can use it too, Titania."

She had an unintentionally smug look come across her face, entirely neutral in tone, yet somehow just condescending enough to create a conflict in someone not used to such looks. It was an interesting contrast. "Yes, I know your name. You do a lot, so you are well known. However, you need to take breaks every now and then. Perhaps you can 'save your progress' every once in a while too. Although, I am unsure of what that means. I assume it is something good though. Maybe you can figure out the secret to it. If you do, share it with me."

She left the words hanging at this time, almost as if opening up the floor for Titania to respond, yet somehow giving an air that she wasn't finished. However, she did not speak further, apparently anticipating a response.

"Uh...what? Saving my progress? Becoming a Combusken? Look, clearly you know who I am. I got to where I was by putting the pedal to the metal and never slowing down. Even got a nice auto shop going back in Alola. I wanted to retire, but here I am, back in the driver's seat once again because some Unovan chick wants my help to stop a super weapon of some kind. That's why I'm here. Part of the reason, anyway."

She coughed politely. "I heard tell that this region is no stranger to super weapons, so I thought I'd see what I could learn about it, as well as something called Mega Evolution. I'm no professor, but if there's some sort of link between this thing and Z-moves, well, I'll do what I can to find a new gear. Even picked up a talking Garchomp on the way. Now are you gonna let me in, or am I gonna have to make you move?"

"You can not make me move. My own move must be one I create myself. You can make imitations though. It's an art form among Pokemon Trainers, to make imitations of moves in pursuit of making their own moves. Perhaps that is what inspires a Z-Move. Maybe Mega Evolution stems from it too? I already know, but you need to figure it out still."

Rachel smiled. "However, I doubt finding the answer will find you any new gears. The Tower of Mastery isn't known for a vast selection of machine parts. You might be better off searching for the Gear Pokemon. They are more likely to provide you a new gear if you truly need one."

She then looked aside. "Since you wanted to retire, that must mean you're all burned out. Yet you want to help this girl on her task. Perhaps you need to make sure you're capable of continuing."

Rachel looked back at Titania once more, as a smile crossed her face. "Not against me, though. There is a skill gap between us. A power barrier. Not the science kind. Or the move Protect. It's more like the kind of difference between someone who started their journey, and someone who has finished it."

She seemed almost smug somehow as she made her remarks, almost as if baiting a certain response, whether it was taken that way or not, or whether it was even intended or not.

Titania couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Rachel was right, of course. "Yeah. I did want to retire. Get a real job, settle down, maybe start a family. But people keep dragging me back into it. So I guess I've got no choice but to get fired up again. But I did pick up a couple of things when I was in Alola. Guess it's time to show you what I've learned."

With that, Titania just walked right up to Rachel and tried to shove her out of the way, sumo style!

Rachel watched Titania walk up to her, though she did not react, as she wasn't sure what Titania was going to do. When it became clear Titania was going to do her best Hariyama impression, Rachel's expression became one of surprise, though it was already too late for her to react at this point. Rachel found herself stumbling back from the shove as she lost her balance, falling on her back, her body hitting the sand.

"...!"

After a momentary period of the surprise wearing off, Rachel simply laid on her back and looked up toward the Tower of Mastery. Her face was back to its deadpan smile of an expression, and she didn't seem to be in much pain, if she was in any at all. Titania's actions didn't seem to particularly faze her as she focused her gaze back on the woman whom had shoved her, her face adopting a curious expression that always came right before she said something simultaneously profound and nonsensical.

"So you learned to be a Hariyama? First a Combusken, now a Hariyama. You should go and start a Dojo! Titania, the Master of Martial Arts! Kicking and punching is all in the mind, they say. Whoever "they" is. "They" say some funny things sometimes."

She didn't seem angry, but quite indifferent to what just occurred.

Titania just ignored the physically pitiful Rachel and marched right on inside the Tower of Mastery. The secrets of Mega Evolution awaited...and that monstrous machine was still out there somewhere as the brunette had warned her.

Rachel would toss a Poke Ball to release her Pangoro, the large panda turning to help her stand up by more or less picking her up. "Thank you, Georges. Now let us move on."

As quickly as she called him out, she returned him to his Poke Ball, looking behind her at Titania as the woman walked onward. Shaking her head, Rachel faced the city again before making her way back to the Pokemon Center, thoughts running through her mind. "Titania. What a mystery. Your arrogance will be your limiter. Once you understand, then the secrets may reveal themselves to you."

Fetching an Aerodactyl from her own PC, she would exit and take flight to another city.
