ELLIOT DANIELS
twenty-four - male - straight - trainer
Friends
Elliot's in the hospitalities industry. Has been for a long time. So, he's capable of getting along with basically anyone he meets. That doesn't mean he likes you. That being said, as long as you're a decent human being and not a total douchebag, he'll probably like you just fine. Running a solo investigation across a foreign region is pretty lonely work, so he's likely to welcome a companion or two along the way.
Lucas
Jeremiah
Faline
Shiori
ENEMIES
He doesn't have time for enemies, and that's that. You can try to pick a fight with him all you want, but if it's faster for him just to walk away and forget about you, he will. He won't tolerate abuse against people or pokemon though, and he will intervene if he sees someone else being hurt. He also won't respond well if you repeatedly try to get in his way. And of course, those who harm his family are in for some trouble.
Lovers
While Elliot isn't not looking for a girlfriend, dating isn't anywhere near his top priority right now. Of course, if she doesn't mind putting up with him constantly traveling for the next who-knows-how-long, then he's not going to ignore a relationship if it happens. He's just not romantically interested in, like Amazon types, really loud chicks, or any woman who's particularly cold/insensitive. He would definitely have to get to know her as a friend first, though.
(Also, it;s likely that he's at least demisexual, if not asexual.)

SHIORI & ELLIOT Since we already agreed that Elliot and Shiori had already met, I'm thinking that perhaps Shiori is acting sort of as a guide for Elliot for a few days. She was born and raised in Lilycove, so she knows the place like the back of her hand. During this time, the two would probably become friends. Shiori probably forming a crush on Elliot but given the fact she is 14, I have no problem with this just staying an innocent / cute one-sided crush . But, alas, Shiori has plans to take off for Orre to begin her Pokemon Journey, which is probably where the two would part ways for a while. So, she could spend time updating him on her adventures as well, promising to make sure to hang out with him every time she comes back home to visit her father since she's a huge daddy's girl. I don't know, just the basic gist of what I thought of for them.

>>ELLIOT & SHIORI
Sounds good to me~ Yeah, the ten year age gap would probably put a damper on any possible relationship . But Elliot's the type to realize she's got a crush, but just be cool about it and not bring it up. She seems mature enough that he'd pretty much treat her as an equal, anyway. So, he arrives in Lilycove and (they met on the ferry, I guess?) she offers to show him around and keep him from getting mobbed by fangirls . I'm sure they'll manage to get into some pretty amusing trouble just wandering around town, anyway. And Shiori can meet his Abra, the bane of his existence.

SHIORI & ELLIOT Just a little damper, pfft. If only she were older, oh well. Yep, sounds good. Maybe meeting up at some sort of restaurant near the harbor instead, since Shiori got him to buy her coffee I'm sure they will, too, especially with Shiori leading the way. So, want to start up a thread of the duo shortly after meeting? Heading out of the restaurant and Elliot mentions something about wondering how he'll find his way around and Shiori declares "Oh, I can show you around!"

>>ELLIOT & SHIORI
Sure. I'll start up a thread with him getting up to leave the restaurant . . . And then abruptly realizing that, since the guy he's meeting hasn't made contact yet, he really has nowhere to go. Enter Shiori the tour guide! Pfft. And then their adventures begin~

Elliot & Faline
Well it's hard to say really, but I can see Elliot and Faline's first meeting as him being the white knight. He's in the process of replenishing his dwindling funds and she's wandered into the wrong neighborhood.
Pick any skyscraper city that isn't in Unova.
Since Elliot left home on a journey and Faline skipped town for personal reasons I can see their meeting being one of literal accidents.
Elliot is in this city temporarily working to gather more funds for his travel purposes. The section of city he's in is not really the red light district but the street leading into it. The night life side of the city that's got the host clubs, night clubs, bars, love hotels, and underground concerts going on. Not the roughest neighborhood, but it's all right if you're with a group, a couple or work there. Of course every city street has its dark side. Faline being deaf and not from around there wandering in alone is never a good thing. Especially how she's dressed making her stick out like a sore thumb tourist or a call girl.
It's late, in the am hours as Elliot steps outside, either to have a smoke, get off work or switch out with someone to stand in front and lure in guests. When a noise of hecklers is heard. Wolf whistles, cat calls a group of them trailing behind Faline who appears to be doing a damn good job of ignoring them. Still his upbringing ticks at him as he pulls out a cigarette to stave off the urge to start anything unnecessary.
The objective was obvious as one of them cuts in front of her walking backwards with his hands up behind his head, not touching her but his flirtatious intentions were known. It wasn't hard to see that the pack of dogs had it in for the gazelle.
That's when they closed in, the next time he looks she's being escorted back towards the "Bear Cave" a well known Love Hotel in the area and from the look of terror on her face against her will. Needless to say Elliot steps in.
Afterwards he either takes her back to the club or to a quiet bar he knows about where he finds that she's deaf.

The perfectly devious Duo. I mean come on just look at the FC's and now pair them together as Older Brother and Little sister.
I don't understand why I have to help you out. Because it's going to keep your stupid @ss out of trouble until your manager gets back.
Tell me that's not funny.
As we played in the C box:
Ronnie: I'm 14 damn it! I am in the veal zone of date-hood! Elliot: Veal? Ronnie: Yeah, you know.. .baby lamb. Veal get it. Elliot: *is unsure whether to think it clever or become parental for her referring herself as a piece of meat*
Dear old Eli aka E.T. , the unwanted Brother of Ronnie. She's like the adorable faced firecracker little sister he never wanted to have.
Elliot: *wondering how he ended up surrounded by so many preteen girls~*
Ronnie: I think your subconscious is telling you that you're a closet lolicon.
Slap stick humor, the awkward advice, parental scoldings and that strange affectionate moment that bubbles up at random and is beat down with a stick.
Love them or hate them Eli and Ronnie are the step-children of a hell born fun house.
