"you'll need men and women you can trust," cait replied. "because whatever your proposing is bound to cross a line. legal - morale - both."

she wondered if fernando's fellow councilmen were aware of his plans. and if they weren't - they'd be willfully treading on absurdly dangerous territory. depending on their actions, discovery would inevitably lead to a breach of contract if they were heavily league-affiliated and perhaps even a slew of criminal charges.

"i assume you're asking me to be apart of this team of yours?"

cait's expression remained difficult to read, though a glimmer of intrigue presented itself within her gaze.

the young woman couldn't resist those wagging tails and bright eyes, her expression growing genuinely warm at the sight of the mightyena. despite her feline's looks of distaste, she happily praised the lot of them.

"hello, babies! ya'll are looking real handsome today," she remarked.

she paused her croons to respond to the man's drawled out inquiry, a brow quirked in bemusement.

"it'd be a real shame if i didn't."

the girl already had a camp set, a source of clean water found in abundance and decent amount of food that came in the form of wild vegetation and fruits. her cats fed themselves, reliant upon the wildlife to locate ample sources of meet.

"and you?"

venusaur ♀: overgrow - petal dance, power whip, amnesia, sleep power, take down, solar beam

there was a brief flicker of suspicion that was quickly replaced by her sweet smile.

"let's get this challenge underway then."

she raised up a single finger, indicating the amount of pokemon that would be allowed on the field.

"this will be a one on one," she informed. "the last pokemon left standing will determine whose the winner. overall the battle will be in a traditional format - but if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask."

her chosen pokemon lumbered her way onto the field, slow and burdened by her own weight. but she carried it well, settling in front of her mistress and releasing a dull roar in greeting.

"venusaur hasn't been on the field for a spell," cait admitted. "motherhood - you know? but i'm curious to see how she fairs and what we can work on."

clefable ♀: magic guard - moon blast | meteor mash | healing wish | magical leaf | moon light | encore

it made for an almost comedic display, with the pudgy fairy pursuing the frantic ghost for a short while. cait couldn't help but smile at the sight, her amusement written all over her face as her clefable halted her run and gave a few quiet pants. the creature wasn't exactly built for long-distant goes, her lack of speed apparent in that moment.

"it's alright, baby girl."

cait gestured, the pokemon returning to her size of the field and shooting the bouncy ghost a glare as she did so.

"we've got other options available."

the gym leader briefly made eye contact with isra, a playful look twisting at her made up features.

"moon blast."

while she was lacking in speed, the pokemon made up for it by her attack potency and her aim. the next moon blast to appear was bounced upon her palm for a moment, the fairy treating it as though it was your average baseball. after gauging her chances, she decided on a curve ball - hopeful that the orb of light would impact the possessed doll.

machamp ♂: guts - strength | bulk up | dual chop | foresight | cross chop | wake-up slap

cait acknowledges derek's stance with a nod, deciding that it would indeed be wise not to press. while she considered the man a friend, she didn't consider them close enough for her to pry excessively. so she allowed him his privacy - as was his right - and instead focused on caius's wishful statement.

"we're in need of more gym leaders," she admitted. "quite a few men and women have been cycled in and out this year."

the young woman was certain that the council were mildly frustrated by the apparent lack of reliable applicants. the pickings were slim and it was likely their choices were sorely limited. quite a few cities lacked proper leadership at present, which was especially unfortunate in the aftermath of the war.

"machamp, you alright sparrin' with blaziken here?"

her fighting-type gave an affirmative nod before she eyed derek's accompanying jolteon.

"hm."

she reached for the belt secured around her slim waist, producing a capsule and revealing its contents with a single press of the button. a glameow appeared, his gaze fixed upon the jolteon.

"i think these two would make for a decent match," cait suggested.

the young woman then flitted her gaze between the pair of men, a teasing edge entering her tone of voice.

"so which one of you want to take me on?"

glameow ♂: limber - hypnosis | fake out | sucker punch | attract | slash | play rough

togekiss ♂: serene grace - sky attack | extreme speed | aura sphere | air slash | smart strike | encore

cait was relieved that togekiss would only have to deal with a festering heat instead of proper attacks for the spell, her mind working through roughly several ideas in the span of moments as she considered various stratagems.

'they're not the most mobile creatures - are they?'

she was reminded of her own braxien, who favored a more stationary method when it came to administering powerful attacks.

"sky attack, togekiss."

cait would gauge the pokemon's speed and mobility, curious of how'd they'd handle bodily administered attacks. her pokemon rushed forward at her command, revealing themselves to be of above average speed despite their bulk.

breloom ♂: poison heal -seed bomb, poison powder, dynamic punch, counter, giga drain, mind reader

"mind reader."

breloom was left reeling, the experience of being drained of a good portion of his already dwindled energy supply enough to leave him thoroughly winded. but he remained standing, reliant upon his discipline as a fighter to keep him up and at 'em. but it likely wouldn't last, the breloom growing increasingly rigid as his legs trembled.

'not good,' cait thought.

the prior usage of growth had been a wise one, the roserade's attacks proving far more formidable - far more potent. and poison heal could only do so much in the long run, which meant they had to administer a few more decisive hits if they desired a win.

'c'mon, boy,' she cheered, inwardly. 'give me your best out there.'

"breee."

breloom gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing as he opened his mind and glimpsed into the future.

[ breloom regained some health! ]
[ breloom used mind reader! ]

"it'd be out of my hands," she said, shrugging lightly. "i'd be dead. and it'd be up to arceus to weigh my actions and determine my judgement."

cait's gaze narrowed upon anderson, the barest hint of a sneer twisting at her pretty features.

"you're not going to pretend that you're taking the morale high ground - are you?"

the young woman released a derisive and dismissive snort.

"if memory serves - you were just as eager to cut the chains of the other elevators. and correct me if i'm wrong - but the only reason why you're especially bitter is because you happened to be on mine."

she appeared to ponder over his words and the implications behind them. after a brief period spent in contemplative silence, she decided to present him with a single inquiry.

"and what do these supposed rules entail? and i'd rather you not skirt around the truth."

cait ultimately desired that he remain blunt - presenting her with a clear picture of his expectations as opposed to being presented with a rose-tinted version of it. she stared at him, her gaze sharp and focused.

cait doesn't respond verbally to his stance, a neatly trimmed brow quirking as she leveled him with a vaguely bemused look. the expression would remain as he continued to speak, though her eyes narrowed slightly.

"are you going to propose a thorough reworking of our rules and regulations?"

she wondered if they would pass - but that depended entirely on the contents of whatever bill fernando proposed to his peers. cait rightfully assumed he'd go through the usual legal channels enact change, not considering the possibility of more underhanded methods.

"that'd make for a time consuming process," she remarked. "but... it's doable, i suppose."

she blinks blankly and then gives a slight nod of her head.

"i do."

her grip upon her folder tightens somewhat, the corners of her lips tugging downwards.

"i take all my critics into consideration. despite my overall approval rating, i'm still considered mediocre in comparison to my peers. the harsher ones are more than eager to point out my lack of degree - my age - my lack of experience."

cait shrugged, not entirely bothered by their nitpicks but very accepting of the truth behind their statements.

"it's nothing training, college and work won't fix in time. they can't deny that i'm a decent politician and leader after all. i take a very active role when it comes to my position."

"my opinion regarding that particular debacle is..."

cait had been present within the city when the disastrous event had occurred and had even participated in the first half of the contest.

"... that the league is entirely at fault for not effectively terminating the threat. social media has painted us as incompetent - and even i was criticized for not reacting appropriately to the incident despite being in littleroot at the time."

and she had accepted the criticisms; had understood why their public image as a whole had been marred.

cait pauses and resettles herself into her seat, her legs neatly crossing over themselves as she levels fernando with a questioning look. the gym leader had presented him with the opportunity to speak up prior to her report, but she supposed something had come to mind at the tail end of its conclusion.

"i'm not," she replied. "what did you want to talk about, sir?"

"then i'll get started."

cait had been careful to construct her reports so that she trimmed the unnecessary fat out of them. she often rehearsed in front of hypno, timing herself to make sure that everything was neatly condensed into a half hour speech. and she once again succeeded in producing a substantial layout of her city's present status, heavily emphasizing that all was well.

'perfect.'

at its conclusion she appeared pleased with herself, returning her documents into their folder. they had made for a nice enough reference point, preventing her from stumbling over the details so that she could more efficiently answer any questions he presented.

"and i believe that's it," she chimed, her formerly placid grin broadening out. "thank you for your time, sir."

cait shifted to stand, intending to take her leave of the confined space of the office.
