• 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.

    This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets.
  • Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

As Orobus rushed to the scene he halted in front of them, overwhelmed by the amount of people there. This wasn't right. He had specifically dashed out on an 'early' ship to the P.I.A so he could avoid an embarrassment. It was obvious he wasn't good with people. But then again, he wasn't THAT good with Pokémon either. The redness of his face dissipated as soon as Reena started talking. She was kind and understanding towards him. That was a positive thing for the time being but maybe she would be too defensive of the Pokémon on the island for him to carry out his true purpose. He sensed an air of suspicion from Elizabeth, Orobus puzzled quite as to what her reason for being there was in reality.


"I uh..." He was overwhelmed by Reena's words. Then he snapped. His inner businessman came back to him, a technique he had learnt when he was working for the Aether Foundation. "Ah yes, President Reena! It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!" He held out his arm towards Reena to show him his firm hand. He assumed she would want a handshake from him as a greeting. That's what sophisticated people did, he thought. Orobus's hand was covered with a clean, white glove with no stains on it. He had cleaned it hours prior with bleach awaiting for this one moment. 


"I am honoured to be here in your presence. I have read much about you. I hope to be much use to you with my research!" He smiled at her, for the first time with warmth.


As he saw her being pulled along by Elizabeth, that warmth died suddenly away. Orobus stared at the glaring Elizabeth as if she was a cunning Sandaconda in the wild facing an equally cunning Arbok. He took somehow some offense from her actions, behaviour and words. She seemed like she was going to truly be a rival for him. When he saw Elizabeth pulling the President, all Orobus could do was step closer towards Reena with big strides and present his greasy glove covered hand again for a handshake.


Orobus glared back at Elizabeth. He said something which implied she had been the proprietor, despite Reena addressing him the same way first. He said it as he stared into her eyes. "And it's Professor Orobus, or Branch Chief if you've been to Galar."
