power is taken, never given.

fernando is not one to be denied. he refuses to take no for an answer. valentine's is no exception.

the change of the season brings about a change to the wild pokemon that call the safari zone home. whether it's intentional or a mere coincidence that the species align with the particular holiday is of no consequence. it's a curious matter but not one that fernando worries himself about. the only thing that matters is making the most out of it.

the blaziken that had handled is his primary care taker for the day. the exception performance it had shown merits a test to cement its place on his main roster. "do you enjoy the challenge?" the words linger and the blaziken answers with the fire that erupts from its wrist

the safari zone is fraught with various biomes. an aquatic environment for water types is no exception. the sight of a passing alomomola is consciously ignored. fernando's familiar with the species. he has one himself. but, he's yet to find a practical use for it. his style of combat hasn't evolved to encompass a water front. aside from the pokemon's natural knack for altruism, there's little he can do with it.

the blaziken also has no fondness of navigating watery plains. it actively stays to the grass, the ground where footing is guaranteed. there's much to do and they continue their expedition.

the pokemon's CUTE CHARM draws his attention despite his strict stance of function over form. still, the pokemon's a rare one - one he's familiar with only due to its relation to the glaceons that line his ranks. as for the fairy type, he's yet to familiarize himself with the extent of their powers. on paper, he knows their weaknesses but has yet to witness their strength.

steel, poison.

the answer is none other then his trusted blastoise and magneton. the two pokemon make up the founding members of his artillery force and besiege the enemy with a series of FLASH CANNONS. the pokemon can do little against the bombardment. from the smoke is what's left of the pokemon's resistance - nothing.

a safari ball is used up and fernando will finally have a chance to experiment with himself.

just how powerful are the fairies?

fernando pockets all three balls. his pokemon are returned sans blaziken and he continues the trek.

a roserade is the next pokemon they encounter and he has to hold his pokemon back with a wave of his hand.

"do not engage. it looks poisonous. you will win but at what costs. do not waste time on the trifling."

the blaziken pauses, unsure.

"you're above that now. a true challenge is the only thing worth harming yourself over. you are not invincible. your body will break down the more you abuse it. do not waste it needlessly."

that reason is enough for the pokemon to obey. the logic makes sense but the pokemon cannot help but begrudgingly look back at the wild roserade. it obeys only because it knows the trainer is right. the urge for battle swells but there will always be other instances. fernando's acquainted it with the others on his team and there are challengers aplenty.

slurpuff?

more like punching bag.

fernando allows the blaziken to confront the wild pokemon because he's unfamiliar with the fairy type. what he sees next disgusts him.

LIGHT SCREEN? blaziken ignores it entirely when it comes in close. a BLAZE KICK to the face is unhindered as the psychic screen does little to prevent a physical attack.

STICKY WEB? it burns off the moment the pokemon ignites in a sight of BLAZE. the FLARE BLITZ that comes after sends the pokemon hurtling backward. but that distance doesn't last for long. blaziken comes up against reach to attack. guess what the slurpuff does?

DRAINING KISS. this isn't a heart to heart mission - a kiss in the middle of a battle gets a straight jab to the mouth. the CRUSH CLAW does just that, crushing the pokemon's hope and dreams as it tumbles back, fleeing the mighty blaziken.

"satisfied?"

the answer is comes in the form of a grunt. of course not. with a mild smile, fernando ushers the pokemon to continue. they've more to explore.

fernando manages to persuade blaziken to lay off the lilligant they come across. explaining why is harder then it should be. the request itself should be the be all that ends all but fernando goes above that. his pokemon are functional in their own regards. to empower them with knowledge is something that allows them to decipher the nuance that most pokemon lack. a higher level of understanding brings about a more critical style of thinking.

the lilligant is harmless, just a center piece for those that want a pokemon that fits the upcoming holiday. like the slurpuff, it'll show little resistance. a waste of time and effort. to dirty himself with such trivial matters show a lack of mental fortitude and pettiness.

"is that what you are? strong in the body and fragile in the mind?"

the blaziken grunts again and continues on.

the swoobat is no different. another pokemon styled for the holidays and not for battle. fernando reminds the pokemon that they're here for another objective and one that should be sought after with due diligence. likewise, the pokemon continues, obedient if only out of necessity.

"how is the difference - wild, tamed, the environment is different but your desire is the same. are you satisfied?"

the thought lingers on the pokemon and it goes without an answer. the change between having to hunt and survive to being pampered but pulled into battle at a moment's notice is one that proves a shock. time has allowed the pokemon to digest it but the shift is too dramatic, too contrasting.

ultimately, the blaziken comes up with an answer. being able to pick its battles - to an extent - proves too much of a quality of life improvement for the pokemon to ignore. the raw scale of challenges shift exponentially as well. comes to mind and the way it managed to man handle both of her pokemon beefs up the pokemon's already flaming self-esteem.

"blaze."

the pokemon answer with an audible howl and fernando smiles.

"good."

there's more to explore and there's little time to waste.

onward.
