'I technically have a place in Pallet, but I normally stay in Kalos..."
"Yeah that's fine. I got a pair of guest rooms I can lend."
"Yea, by the way he may come around the world cause of me.."
"He's the only one who has to deal with someone who could make him move. Luckily, the rest of us only have Gabriel and our parents."
"I'm with Prime then, he just had to move to the warehouse..." He sighs some.
"Well, there's two... There's the DMC Grey, or Prime Grey just tapping into some of that Grey's abilities. The difference between them is that the DMC one lives in an apartment, and Prime lives in a warehouse."
"...Demon hunting, oddly enough.... seeing as I'm technically a demon."
"... Hmm... General mercenary or exclusively a demon hunter?"
"Half demon, comes from a non pokemon timeline... is a hired gun..."
"Everyone has their own sins. Mind if I ask you to describe the Grey you're to be wed to?"
"You might see him here one day, he knows this world is very special to me, even if it hates me." He shrugs some. "I deserve it after all."
"Hmm... typically Grey's are very sentimental, so, he'd probably want somewhere that's sentimental to you, some place that signifies a new beginning."
"Fiance, we are still getting things worked out, like I'm sewing my own dress and we have to deal with where to have the wedding."
"Ooh, a Fiancé? Or perhaps already a husband?" He asks as he takes a sip of his tea.
"So you know about the other versions huh? Good! Makes this easier..." He chuckles and holds his hand out to show the ring.
"Familiar, huh? Not every day you see someone like me. Maybe you met one of my... I'll just say siblings, for an easier to understand term."
"You look familiar, all I am gonna say..." Oh he knows an alternate version of this man and is wearing his ring, but he doesn't want to worry him.
"I hope so as well, and thank you very much." He says as he preps the cups of tea and walks out into the living room, handing Steven one of the tea cups and sitting next to them. "Not every day someone follows me, mind if I ask what caught your interest?"
"Green tea would be great, welcome around, lets hope this area serves you well." He stated with a chuckle, his voice sounded rough like he has been smoking a lot, which he has over the years.
Grey steps inside as well, leading Steven over to the couch before walking over to the kitchen. "One second, please." He says. Soon the sound of kibble can be heard hitting nine metal bowls, and boiling water can be heard. "I have green tea, vanilla tea, and berry blend tea, which would you like?"
He slowly walks to the door and nods with a soft smile on his face, as long as the pets don't realize too much how wrong he was he was safe.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Steven. Would you like to come inside for some tea? Apologies, I need to feed my pets."
"Steven, ex champion of Kanto, its a pleasure Doctor.~" He purred out with a smirk as he moves to tilt his body slightly.
"Relatively. My name is Dr. Blackthorn, I'm an engineer and researcher in all things mechanical, excluding pokemon. Not my field of work. And you?"
He chuckles and moves out of the shadow with a sweet smile. "Oh hello there, you must be new to the area."
Once back home he lets the Eevee's inside... but before going inside himself... he turns around on the spot. "Oi, come on out, bit rude to stare."
He just keeps following him with a smile on his face, anyone else would see a shadow behind the other or think it was a gengar.
Of course, this Grey doesn't know Steven. He enters the pokémart, and orders a lot of bags of food for the Eevee's, puts them in his bag and walks back out, but he catches a glimpse of the tall man... however he just shrugs and keeps walking back to his home on the edge of the town.
He seemed to also follow him, but hidden from most view, being the demon of a world is a reason to hide.
Meanwhile, in the pokemon universe, that version of Grey, a non-trainer, is walking around a city, carrying two Eevees, a third on his head, and six more are following him as he walks to the local pokémart. None of the Eevees have been captured with a pokéball, they're just his pets.
"I'm alive... well as alive as anyone is down here... and yourself?" Siping his coffee.
"Morning. How are you?" He turned and looked at the other he doesn't mind the eyes.
"Mornin..." He grumbled out, multiple eyes opening in his hair and looking at the other.
He waves back and hums as he sips at his coffee.
He waves to the other, he had a mug in his hand that looked absolutely tiny.
He here. Stretching and enjoying the morning with some black coffee.
"Arn't angels, even fallen ones suppose to be extremely beautiful?"
"... Yes but that's a little different."
