Alterna city was quite nice and very “clean", it wasn't anything like Sinclair City that was certain. The region was so very diverse it had to be some kind of scientific phenomenon. Kalos had a mostly similar climate throughout its region. For someone who wasn't exactly wanting to go back home,Skye always sounded homesick. He's been out on his own for quite awhile but he couldn't really take two feet anywhere without comparing it to his birthplace. Even if this wasn't his home, Veria did have a lot to offer. For instance the town the young man was residing in was a magnet for migrating pokemon. He wasn't planning on catching anything today but he just wanted to see the pokemon roaming around, at least pokemon didn't mind being stared at. Maybe he could draw some pokemon? He wasn't terrible at it but he could use the practice. At some point in the day the young man found a nice quiet spot in a small meadow near the city. While there were much pokemon around it was a really nice place to chill and maybe doodle the scenery. His meowstic laid in the very soft grass whilst absorbing all the sunlight, all of it. Rummaging through his bag, he pulled out a small old sketchbook. One could tell it was old because the pages were way yellow and the cover was scorched. There were some sketches in the book already that weren't Skye’s. The name on the front read: Daniel's Sketchpad. Only Skye would know that this is his father's book. He was really good at drawing, and Skye thought if he couldn't be a trainer this would work just as well. About thirty minutes into sketching his pokemon on the grass, he could feel eyes on him. It wasn't the first time he's been watched, a lot of people are usually taken aback by his appearance. Usually it's a quick double glance maybe a few minutes of slight staring but this felt….intense. Like someone was boring a hole into his head. Then he sensed something, it was that sensation he got around people that weren't normal. He didn't actually know what was wrong with them because they looked pretty normal to him. He could assume they just attract that paranormal energy like he does but then again he can never sense anything beyond that sensation, no whispers or anything. Without panicking he looked around to see if he could see anyone approaching. By this time the napping Meowstic was alert and looking around as well, it didn't take long for Skye to place a hand on top of the pokemons head. “Relax. We don't want another incident like last time now right?”The meowstic made a noise which the young man would attribute to begrudging compliance. From the corner of his eye he suddenly spotted a shadow, what was that? Niso Konto

Niso had been walking from his home out in the now unpopulated farmlands by the wasteland, wearing his usual mask for going out in public, or at least his more commonly used one these days. Mimikyu had made it and modeled it after himself, nice and creepy, but so long as Mimikyu was by his side it looked natural, like he was just some mega mimikyu fanboy.
What Niso didn't expect on his way to town however was to see someone so far out from the main city. It had taken him a second to catch them, but backing up his steps a little he was glad that he took fuller notice...was that guy wearing a mask too? Well that was certainly weird. They were in a pretty far out part of the meadows so if he was hiding his face even out here that was...curious. It'd be curious anyway, but either this guy had something to hide or he was the most dedicated of edgelords. Whatever the case he was some sort of anomaly Niso wanted a closer look at. Lowering down, he'd let his Mimikyu hop onto his shoulder as he let out a soft whistle, a flickering, gassy shadow around his legs forming as his Zoroark became visible, walking out of his illusions.
『Mind giving us the old invisible treatment bud~』
The Zoroark gave a toothy smirk and nodded, coating the two in a series of illusions till they were up close. Niso walked carefully through the grass to stay quiet right up until he was in the odd boy's face, looking him dead in the eye till the illusion suddenly faded, smiling through his odd mask as he chimed a happy 『Howdy there stranger!~』

The brief moment the shadow appeared, it suddenly vanished. That was strange, when he first entered the meadow it was empty of people or any residual energy he could usually sense. But suddenly there was something here, not only did he see it but he was picking something up. This feeling...a wave of nausea passed through the young man. Something was wrong, whatever this was...it was all messed and wrong. It felt like his mind was being hammered with an amalgamation of sensations and emotions. He could hear the static in his head. It felt familiar somehow....it felt the first time his powers manifested. The shadow that tried to control him. It felt the same! Now Skye was a little worried, sure he could probably ward up but if the entity was stronger than his abilities, then it'd be pointless. He could try to leave quickly, perhaps he was treading in a place where people were unwelcomed. It was fairly common and hot spots of energy were constantly appearing. "Come on Psyche, time to go-"Before he could finish his sentence he was slapped with that sickening feeling again. The hairs on the back of his neck wete at a stand still. It was infront of him, whatever it was all thar sick making feeling was just in front of him. He was worried now, usually he could see something a light a shadow, something. But he couldn't see anything, he could only feel what he was allowed to feel. He held his breath for a moment, at this point he really couldn't do anything but wait. Not a moment too soon there was...only what he could describe as spatial distortion. It melted off and suddenly there was a face just a foot from his own. The sudden appearance of the face startled Skye a bit. He flinched and his eyes went wide but he didn't freak out or scream. He was kind of used to stuff like this. He took in yhe face quite briefly, it was well...masked. It reminded him of his pokemon Veneer. It was a Mimikyu mask of some sort. Interesting. "Oh."He didn't mean to sound disgustingly disappointed or rather let down. He was quite relieved actually, so it wasn't a malevolent entity. But that certainly begs the question, who was this? Rather than being met with violence he was greeted. Ah so it was a human. Great. He tilted his head to the side once he was done studying the figure before him. How did he suddenly appear like that? "Hello. Where'd you come from?"Skye turned his attention to his pokemon, the meowstic was scared by the masked man and climbed inside Skye’s hooded shirt. She was shaking like a leaf. Poor thing. This was beyond the normal she was used to. But then again, when has anything ever been normal? Niso Konto

Niso smirked wide behind the mask, watching the brief jolt run through the other stranger before rearing back himself, no longer leaning into his face and allowing him some room to breathe as his own Mimikyu stabilized itself on his shoulder. The tiny creature needed a second to balance from the energetic and fluid motions of his trainer. Bruce himself walked out of his illusions soon after Niso himself, crawling on all fours around Niso's legs as he eyed up the opposing trainer and his Pokemon, sloooowly licking his lips as he pictured his fangs in the neck of at least one of them...
『Me? Oh I'm frooooom』He spun on his heels, the Mimikyu clinging to his mask a little so it didn't fall off his shoulder, Niso pointing in the general direction of the nearest coast. 『Unova!~ Buuut if you wanna get more recent and more specific』He turned and pointed a thumb over his shoulder. 『I come from over there! I actually live nearby. Its weeeeeeeeird seeing someone so far out from the main city these days. Where you out here for a reason? What's the mask for?~ It's cool!~』

Skye watched as the other person backed up, he noticed the pokemon that was trying to balance itself on its possible owners' shoulder. Oh! It would seem this person has a Mimikyu as well. The Skye moved on the the spatial distortion of the Zoroak dropping its illusion. As so that's how did that, he looked at the dark illusionist of a pokemon. He watched the creature lick its lips hungrily as it gazed at him and his pokemon. Well this isn't good, did it eat people? Or did it eat pokemom, either way that wasn't really good. Skye casually placed his arm over where his Meowstic was hiding, narrowing his eyes at the pokemon briefly. His blue eyes glossed over the other masked individual as he spun around, the poor Mimikyu hanging on to dear life. Unova huh? Skye was there for a bit. It was too crowded for him, the whole region was like one giant city. He was glad to get out there when he did honestly. The guy pointed towards the town nearby, that's not really what he had asked but he had gotten his answer already so he just nodded. Skye closed his sketch book and tossed it into the bag, he hoisted it over his should and stood up, he wasn't really feeling too good and for some reason being around this guy was giving him veritgo so bad he felt like puking. So he needed to get up on his feet and off the ground to make him feel a little bit better. "Hm, I didn't know spending time outside the city was illegal."And there goes the question, the question he was used to getting. Something that happened everywhere else. It became so exhausting that sometimes he'd just make up stories. What he didn't expect was the compliment? Well it certainly sounded like one but he wasn't sure if it was a good thing coming from this person. "Uh thanks...but it's not really a mask. This is my face."He wasn't sure how this guy was going to take that, he wasn't lying this was his face. Underneath the mask was something that one couldn't even call a face anymore. In time the prosthetic he wore became his actual face. Very inconvient when it looked a lot like a face and yet made no real facial expression. Most people found it unsettling because it was just so deep in the uncanny valley it introduced a new level of creepiness. Just by the look of the other guy, it just might've tickled him. Then he wondered.... "Your mask looks interesting," yeah, that's the word for it. "why are you wearing it?"Niso Konto

Niso was definitely enjoying this odd little fellow, not just because of the mask he was referring to as his face, but also because of the fact that he was so forward, borderline cheeky when talking to someone with a scary 'face' and mannerisms like his. Then again he supposed he didn't scare everybody, most found him weird and unnerving at best, but otherwise this was still an outlying response, especially so far out from the city. If you met someone who looked like him ya probably didn't want to get on his bad side where no one would hear you scream...
Ah well.~ He wasn't about to pick on this guy, even if the temptation to yank his mask off for a laugh was growing by the second.
『Well it's not illegal to be out here but it sure is scary for most locals!~ You not heard of the wasteland? Biiiiiiiig beasties always trying to expand their territory! Even this far out you're pretty likely to get attacked!』
Niso grinned behind his mask and it was clear in his tone, he gestured towards the wasteland's general direction, the same direction he'd said he lived in. Mimikyu was settling into place atop him, looking over the other weird human as he asked about the mask. 『Oh this thing?~ I just wear it to keep Mimikyu happy, and so I don't get arrested!~』

Skye tilted his head to the side with interest, the wasteland? He's never heard of the wasteland before. Granted this was his first time coming here and he didn't run into any people out on the roads. He supposed that was why if what this dude was saying was accurate. Big beasties? Did he mean pokemon or something else? That sounded interesting actually more so than anything he's heard of in the past few days. What if it was a manifested entity? Well it would be dumb to just go there unprepared. He would probably actually get a decent team together if he wanted to go there and take a gander at least. "No, never heard of it. What's the Wasteland?" He didn't need to see this dudes face to know he was probably grinning like a Gengar. Skye looks beyond where the other was pointing and made a mental note to tag the location on his map eventually. He looked back to watch the Mimikyu as it was looking him over too. It was always interesting to see the same species of pokemon act so differently from one another. He didn't get anyting from Mimikyu yet but it seemed to be a very talented one. His own Mimikyu was clingy and didn't like Psyche all that much, he recalled how they almost destroyed the abandoned supermaket...wait what about being arrested? "Why would you need to avoid arrest?" What did this man do, and what was Skye getting himself into? Niso Konto

『Oh well the wasteland is a lovely place!~ You should go see it sometime if you're out of town! It's very dangerous and you're likely to get yourself killed, but you should totally see it!』
The Mimikyu atop him practically had a sweat drop rolling down the outside of it's disguise just from the look in it's eyes alone, one of Niso's 'softer' pokemon, he was pretty used to his trainer's lack of empathy and ethics, but it didn't mean he couldn't feel sympathy for those that got roped into his antics or wild suggestions. He once told a kid to jump off a bridge for kicks, saying he'd done it and survived, omitting the fact he couldn't die to begin with.
As far as being arrested...well this guy didn't know his face, and they were both out in the middle of nowhere, so why lie?~ He smiled brightly, and listed off the reasons' on his hands, soon running out of fingers.
『Oh you know, the usual, jay walking, robbery, taking hostages, breaking and entering, tax avoidance, torture, blackmailing, brainwashing, murder, MASS murder, breaking someone out of prison, pokemon abuse, illegal legendary use, enviromental destruction. Oh. And I've mailed letters with fake postage stamps. Clearly the worst of my crimes.』

It was one thing to have a sick twisted sense of humor, and this dude wasn't in short supply but it was another to share that sentiment? It wasn't everyday that Skye found someone that was much more weirder and creepier than he was. Now he knew how everyone else felt, the difference was he was sort of indulging in this, this person definitely sounded dangerous but honestly he'd been through so much the thrill of danger just wasn't there anymore and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. Skye simply nodded as the other sort of jokingly but not really talk about how dangerous the wasteland was. "Well, I definiely know where I should go if I feel like dying a horrific and painful death."Skye watched the Mimikyu again, it seemed to be a lot nicer than Jaws over yonder the trainer. It almost felt like it was feeling sorry for him for having to interact with its trainer. Skye listening as the other cheerfully gave a run down of every crime he comitted, he wasn't really sure why this guy was being so straight forward. Well he assumed he was, he still wasn't sure if this guy was being ironic or not but he also didn't want to be a pile of bloody bones to know for sure. This guy seemed very unhinged with his...twisted....and sickening energy whatever it is that was the only thing that scared Skye really. "I like how murder and mass murder are two seperate categories. But clearly sending letters with fake stamps is the most heinous crime yet. Those poor postal workers that have to sift through hundreds of letters and double, triple, quadruple check them for fake stamps and then going through another process of collect them. They probably haven't stopped working since monday morning and aren't getting over time."He went on very drly and monotonous, he wasn't very good at humor but this was a close second. Niso Konto

Niso tilted his head to the side, the ears of his mask flicking to that side with him and snickering softly at the response to all his crimes, reaching forward and grasping the masked boy's shoulders, squeezing them softly before patting them and turning his hands back to his hips, chuckling along at that comment.
『Ya know what mate? You're funny. Bit weird with the whole face mask not a mask thing but funny!~ You wanna come back to my place? I have apple juice and stuff, very tasty. I think my girlfriend might be home though so she might get a little creeped out by your whole...』 He gestured vaguely over Skye's face 『This.』

Skye watched the other guy tilt his head briefly and he just....placed his hands on Skye's shoulders. He squeezed them for a moment before patting them. Okay??? Was that a good thing? Was that bad?? What the hell did this mean?! There was chuckling emitting behind the mask moments later, it sounded like he was thrilled? At this point Skye wasn't about to ask. Instead he was offered apple juice and other treats at the masked man's house. The words stramger danger was flashing in his mind. Was rhis such a good idea? Honestly the dude was weird but he couldnt prove anything he had said was true he just seemed like a harmless nutcase. What he was more worried about was meeting this supposed girlfriend. Anyone who was willing to date this dude right here mask, murder charges and all had to be a literal demon or something to that effect. "I suppose I can go for a brief moment, I need to make my way to the nearby city soon. Uhm...well I'll try not looking at her directly. Thats about the best I can do." If she was going to be creeped out by the mask alone he can only imagine her face wretching in absolute disgust if he took it off. "By the way, what can I call you? I don't think cheery mask guy rolls off the tongue very well." Niso Konto

He was accepting the offer? Sweet! Sera tended to be cautious, but oddly happy whenever he made a friend to bring home. She'd been really happy running in on him professing his love about her to Orion, a man who, at that point, she did not recognize until Nikolai came into the conversation. All the same this guy seemed a little more odd than Orion, but at the very least he didn't know his name. Turning on his heels he'd happily start to lead the way, his Mimikyu hopping off his head and landing into his arms to be carried as he started trotting off towards his home, not too far away, heading through some of the trees till they were out of the thin stretch of woods.
『I appreciate the effort! As for what you can call me my name is Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikolai. Nikolai...』 He needed a second there to remember Nik's last name. 『Laska.』Yeah that was it. 『It's not my real name of course but Sera's better at coming up with fake names than I am!~』
As they got through the trees, Niso started into a light jog towards the small farm house in the distance, the place actually looking like a nice countryside home from the outside. 『C'mon! Not far!』

As they got through the trees, Niso started into a light jog towards the small farm house in the distance, the place actually looking like a nice countryside home from the outside. 『C'mon! Not far!』 Skye wondered who was Nikolai was, assuming that they were a real person of course. Skye simply nodded, yes this is fine. Everything was fine right now. Skye let 'Nikolai' go off a little, he placed his Pokemon Psyche in her ball. It just wasn't safe for her. After that he caught up with the other mask wearer who was wandering out the woods. As they got closer the number of trees dwindled down and soon they came across an open field where a rather discreet but homey looking house sat. This was....not wjat he expected but then again nothing that 'Nikolai' said or did was expected. "Hm, it's a nice looking house." Just a little further and they reached the front of the house. Skye looked around fore a bit, it was so peaceful and so inconspicuous really. He wondered how easily it was for someone with a rap sheet as long as war and peace managed to get his hands on it.

Niso was beaming through his mask and put Mimikyu back on his head once the jogging stopped, fiddling with the keys in his pockets and about to put them in the door before recalling. He didn't lock his house. Why would he lock his house? No one comes out here. It was waaaaaaaay too close to the wasteland to find any thieves who were looking for a quick buck. Of course Sera might have locked the doors so...after a few seconds of hesitation he put the keys in anyway, and twisted them if needed. Once he was sure the door WOULD open, he turned back to the other guy and held up a finger.
『If she's here, best behaviour. I don't want my new aquiantance leaving a bad impression on my sunlight.~<3』
His tone shifting from a faintly serious tone to something more giddily silly, Niso pushed his way inside, Mimikyu ducking his head down low as he swung himself in with the momentum of the door, still wearing his own Mimikyu mask as he shouted out. 『Honey I'm hoooooooome!~』

Honey, I'm hooooooome~!
Sera's face lit. She'd been wondering how long he'd be out today, but had been hoping he'd be home soon for quite a while. Not enough to call or text him, nah-- that'd ruin the surprise~
Said "surprise" was a shirt she'd had to go to considerable lengths to find in just the right size. A plain soft blue v-neck t-shirt, no design or anything, but made for a tall-but-thin man. It was clearly oversized-- the sleeves were just a bit baggy around her arms, the neck wide enough to show a lot of her shoulders with the v showing just a bit of cleavage, and the lower hem maybe two or three inches past her rear-- but at the same time narrow enough to hug her figure quite a bit, even if no entirely form-fitting. Her hair was pulled in a very lazy, messy ponytail laying over her shoulder, and if she wore any makeup it was very subtle. The idea was that this blend of "sexy" and "cozy-comfy" ought to make her intentions clear while also being very up Niso's alley.
Closing the laptop she'd been watching to kill time, she moved around the couch with quick but feather-light steps until she reached the wall next to the foyer. "Heeeey, cutie~" she called from out of sight, just before slowly slipping around the corner, slightly draping herself against the wall. "I was getting soooo lonely waiting for y-...." Her eyes settled on Niso's guest.
The mask barely registered; this was pretty much what she expected of Niso's friends. But she hadn't expected any of Niso's friends so....
Slowly, her face would darken to a shade somewhere between the pink of her hair and the red of her eyes as she kind of... turned to back up the stairs slowly. "...He-y," she stammered vaguely in Skye's direction. "I'm... just... gonna...." She continued backing until about halfway up the first flight, then turned and trotted the rest of the way upstairs.
