Maybe Jethro could've stood to be a little more equipped to handle this venture, but hey, he had handled worse situations with less prep time back in Unova. Surely this wouldn't be all that difficult, [break][break]

“Yessir,” he replied, realizing that Buffy was ill-equipped to handle the heat of the caldera himself, “If'n ya don't mind.” [break][break]

He also couldn't help but find himself curious about what other sorts of overly large and strange companions the gym leader had at his beck and call. The Vaporeon didn't surprise Jethro, exactly, and he tipped his hat by way of introduction at the aquatic Eevee-lution.

Kairi tilted her head toward Jethro and opened her mouth in a big smile. Despite her large size, she looked just as cute as her smaller brethren. "Alright, got you covered, Jethro!" Josh chirped, clicking the switch on a Poké Ball containing a Samurott. Forming a sphere of water above herself, she drew one of her seamitars and slashed at it: the method she used of discharging her WATER SPORT. While the moisture would evaporate fairly quickly in the dry air, it would keep them cool for a while. "Hop right on!" he gestured toward the water-type's saddle. "She controls just like a Rapidash. Almost all my Pokémon do."

Just as Josh was leading the way over the rim to the heated part of the crater, a Crocalor leaped across it, angrily LEERING at his water Pokémon. Its yellow hat soaked, it had every right to be furious at them. Accepting the Pokémon to be beyond reasoning with, Josh clicked open the Poké Ball containing Toshiro, a Hisuian Samurott that looked like Fumiko's distant cousin. Much better equipped for battle, the water-type was quick to slash toward it with a CEASELESS EDGE. Before Josh's empty Poké Ball made contact with it, it let out a loud, deep, and contagious YAWN. Josh and his Pokémon all reciprocated it, looking like they could fall asleep at any time. A hot environment like this was not the greatest spot for a nap...

Catching crocalor!

Jethro grinned in spite of himself as he climbed onto the Samurott's back. A slightly unusual ride, maybe, but the old girl was stylish as all hell. Taking the reins with a practiced familiarity, he recalled his Snorlax and followed the gym leader with ease into the crater. [break][break]

While the younger man dealt with the Crocalor, Jethro was suddenly aware of a distant rumbling that ripped through the earth along the edge of the smoldering crater. He frowned as he steered his own steed to follow the noise of crumbling earth. There was something big coming their way, and whatever it was, it was pissed. [break][break]

Suddenly, a rocky maw burst out from the ground near Jethro and his ride, and the Onix that emerged SCREECHed angrily. The ex-Ranger glowered right back; he wasn't about to let some over-sized snake get the jump on them. [break][break]

The Samurott dodged the Onix with ease as it plowed towards them, sliding across the caldera with a dancer's grace as the Onix dove back into the molten earth. It rumbled under the ground until emerging again from somewhere on Jethro's right; again the Samurott deftly slid out of its way, far faster than the Rock-type could ever hope to be. [break][break]

Jethro grinned wolfishly as he held on during this impromptu rodeo, noting the increasing sluggishness with which the Onix moved as it sailed towards them a third time. Poor bastard was starting to wear himself out; with a flick of the wrist, Jethro tossed a Poke Ball at the rocky snake, hoping to snag it before it could finally get a hit in. [break][break]

In his periphery, he vaguely noticed the gym leader had won his own battle and the way Josh YAWNed alongside his Pokemon. Jethro tilted his head in their direction as he called out, [break][break]

“No sleepin' on the job, son. No tellin' what's gonna pop out at us next.”

Josh was thoroughly impressed that Jethro was letting Toshiro battle with him in the saddle. Mounted combat was far from easy; it was an area Josh himself needed to do a lot of work on before the war flared up again. The call-out forced Josh wide awake.

"I saw your battle. You were impressive out there. You must be strong and have a lot of experience riding on Pokémon to manage something like that. Some of those turns looked painful."

There was no telling what was popping out next. A powerful STOMP threw both Kairi and Toshiro for a loop, the Samurott having an easier time remaining balanced. An agitated Kairi turned toward its source: a Mudsdale that looked equally upset from the violent battle the Onix and Samurott engaged in. Kairi enveloped herself and Josh in ACID ARMOR, blunting the ramming and trampling SUPERPOWER attack and reducing a charge that would have immediately launched Josh from the saddle to one from that uncomfortably stretched his legs.

Regaining their focus, the Gym Leader had a Poké Ball at the ready the moment Kairi got the chance. He hurled the empty sphere toward the equine after she washed it in a WATER PULSE. Josh slid off Kairi's back just long enough to try to secure the capture; if the Pokémon made a sudden move from within, the Poké Ball could bounce over the trail's edge and to a much lower part of the caldera, perhaps even dissolving away completely if it slipped through a crack and into the magma below.

Catching mudsdale!

[attr="class","textbody"]
Jethro thought that surely by this point in his life he was immune to the effects of flattery, but he found himself sorely mistaken as he tugged the brim of his hat low to hide his eyes, [break][break]

“Ain't nothin',” he insisted dismissively, “Used ta pull shit like that on the daily when I worked with my ol' pardner, back when I was a Ranger.” [break][break]

But hell, he hadn't mentioned the old Sawsbuck to anyone in a year or more, and Jethro wouldn't have the chance to continue reminiscing when the earth rumbled beneath them under the weight of a powerful STOMP. Jethro cursed for a moment until he looked up at the surly mare causing the commotion. She was a beauty, that was for sure, and Josh was already well on the way to handling her when a low cackling from behind caught Jethro's ear. [break][break]

A Krookodile grinned toothily as it lunged forward, jaws snapping to try and BITE at the Samurott Jethro rode upon. Lousy opportunistic bastards; were it not for the speed of the Water-type he rode upon, the ex-Ranger was certain that the Ground-type would've gotten a clean hit on them, but instead the crocodile just managed to sail forward, flinging spittle and clacking its teeth in their wake, and dove face-first into the caldera soil beneath them. [break][break]

The thing seemed to get... stuck? Maybe, just for a moment, as it tried to claw its way through dirt far thicker than the sands such Pokemon normally slid through with ease. Jethro couldn't help but loose a hoarse bark of laughter at the flailing legs and thick tail, and he tossed a Poke Ball at the Krookodile before it could properly submerge itself for a counter-attack.

The more time Josh spent talking with Jethro, the more he saw an older version of himself in the mirror, perhaps when he was too old to continue his career path. As much as he enjoyed racing, there would come a time in his life when he would have to give it up; contests of speed were as tough on the rider as they were on the Pokémon ferrying them!

"We should exchange Ranger stories," Josh offered after the older man was done catching the dark-type. "I've only been in the business for a couple years or so, but so much happens so fast." Especially in Hoenn. There were so many smaller disasters that they kept their staff busy in the warmer months. "What city were you based out of? And did you have a specialty?"

skipping!
