OOC: Sounds good.

Malcolm made his way to his shift, dreading it's start. Aside from the pruny fingers, dishwashing meant being bent over a sink for a long time, which would kill his back.
"But money is money," he sighed. "Don't have the luxury of turning it down."

While walking over to the restaurant, he figured he would let his pokemon get a little bit more exercise before they had to be kept in their balls while he worked. Even though it was still a bit cold outside, Ex and Screech enjoyed getting ability to move around some more. Split, on the other hand, stayed levitating closely to Malcolm.

"Zubat!" Screech called out, head focused on the bridge they were passing by.

"What's up, pal? Something bothering you?" Malcolm looked over in the direction of the bridge, catching eye of the Patrat. It looked pathetic, shivering underneath the bridge. Malcolm could also tell it was pretty young, considering it's size and all. Malcolm felt bad for the little guy, but that was about it. "Yeah, looks like he has it rough. But he's wild, he'll figure it out."

"Zu..." Screech chirped softly, gaze turned to the ground. Malcolm softened up a bit, realizing why Screech called out.

"He's lost like you were, that's it, huh?" Malcolm sighed. He flipped open his phone again to check the time.

12:04... I got plenty of time...

"Alright, alright, you win, pal." Malcolm said, making his way towards the Patrat. "We'll make a little food and see if he bites."

Malcolm stopped about 20 yards away from the Patrat, as not to scare the thing. He pretended like he didn't see it as he pulled out his campstove. He went to the cold pack of his backpack and pulled out an egg. He cracked it on the stove and began cooking it, hoping the aroma would bring the Patrat over.

Awesome, I'll slowly start to make a CS for that character. If someone else doesn't join by the time I'm done, I'll just roleplay both characters, with Malcolm probably just being one liners until someone comes across his path.

Also quick question, for another character I wanted to create.

Are there shadow pokemon in this world (Like the pokemon from Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness?) I think I'm gonna go with a future keeper of a Pokemon Shrine, or if there is only one Shrine the world, THE pokemon shrine haha. Just lemme know!

"Son of a bitch..." Malcolm grumbled as he flipped his phone shut. "Why post the job if you don't need the help..."

Malcolm looked around the posted jobs again. The best one was a dishwasher job, which he groaned at. He hated having pruny fingers. He scrolled back up to the top of the page, click on the option to show the licensed trainer jobs. He scrolled through, reading a couple options. Moving help, finding a lost item, watching pokemon for a weekend. Every job there was better paying and a better work environment.

Malcolm hovered his cursor over one of the options trainer options. It lingered there for a few minutes as he sat in silence.

You're gonna be a goddamn pokemon trainer, whether you fuc-

Malcolm slammed his fist on the library desk, causing the few people nearby to jump. He shot his head side to side, before pulling down his hat and muttering a "Sorry," as he made his way out of the library.

Dishwashing it is...

I understand that yes, it's more of the principle. Malcolm's Dad would hammer into his head that he wanted him to be a trainer like him, so he refuses to get a licenses. It is a flaw he has that I was hoping to be changed by some sort of catalyst with another character, but like I said, without another PC it is kinda difficult XD

If things get too menial (which they may be) I can make a new character up, probably one who wants to be a trainer. Malcolm works better as a supporting character as opposed to a main one, my bad :P

EDIT:
Maybe we should try and advertise in the interest check section? That might draw in more people.

Pokemon: Earth

Yeah, he does

I hope someone else joins, Malcolm be himself may not make much for a pokemon trainer XD. If worse comes to worse, I can always make another character and put Malcolm on hold for awhile.

"Tch, everyone wants a goddamn training licenses with every employer they get..." Malcolm sighed. "I've been avoiding it for a long time, but everyday it gets harder not to have one..."
The library was the only time he kept his pokemon in their pokeballs, as they were usually too noisy to be kept out. If Ex was out, he probably would have suggested getting a license, as usual. And Malcolm would give the same response, he wasn't going to let his Dad win.

But this grudge against his father seemed harder and harder to hold as each day passed. Malcolm sighed again, clicking on the construction worker job. It was probably the best he could do per hour, but the labor was always tough.

"Alright, construction it is. Hopefully it's not too far of a walk..."

Yeesh! March was a lot colder than I remembered, haha. Or maybe I just blocked it out of my memory haha.
