his eyes must have deceived him.[break][break]

was there really a woman sitting at the end of a vine, balanced and unafraid?[break][break]

he couldn't make out her expression, but the body language was clear. she didn't seem to be fighting with the venusaur at all. still, he felt obligated, "hey! miss, are you alright?" he stepped into the clearing tentatively, aware the venusaur had great destructive power at its size. grookey landed beside him and stood between him and the pokemon in case anything were to happen; her energetic self was now still as a statue as she stared down the other grass-type.[break][break]

a newcomer to visiting what was aptly named the wilds, haoyu had requested a ranger escort. he was plenty capable, but he knew his physical strength was on a decline. it was good to have a capable trainer with him as backup.[break][break]

his energetic grookey had no scruples. she basically bounced around with how fired up she was to see the crater.[break][break]

haoyu stood at the lip of the crater. because of previous travelers, there was a decent path down, but this was a logical waiting point for his escort. the celsteela below were humongous. there were basically buildings, some of them skyscrapers.[break][break]

haoyu was not as spry as he once was, so it was difficult to keep up with his energetic grookey. she was having the time of her life jumping between trees above him.[break][break]

and then haoyu heard a loud crash.[break][break]

that didn't sound like normal activity for the woods, even if he had claimed lilycove as his home and was less familiar with petalburg. grookey looked to him inquisitively, and he nodded. "let's go see." his pokemon stayed far closer to him as they chased the noise, protective.[break][break]

the man could be abrasive to some, but haoyu appreciated his honesty and sharp edges.[break][break]

of course, that didn't mean he always trusted the other man's judgement. "self-inflicted?" he frowned. his disapproval was clear. "and why are we doing such a thing?"[break][break]

he tried not to be judgmental, but there were a lot of artificial and manufactured substances that were hell on the body. his brief stint in medicine and longer experimentation with homeopathy and environmental cures left him preferring purely natural substances if one were to indulge. alcohol was one demon, but it was clear to him that that wasn't all nikita was experiencing. "what is in your system?" [break]

she had a great pitch for the mochi. "yes, let's do one green-tea-" the grookey whined and looked at him with big, begging eyes.[break][break]

he sighed. "let's do a variety box." grookey cheered, jumping up and down. he couldn't help but shake his head. when had he gotten so soft? the box was more mochi than the grookey needed, but only half as much as she wanted.[break][break]

"by the way," he started as he pulled out some PD, "is this for a cause? i haven't seen a crowd like this for a while."[break]

haoyu did not have a sweet tooth.[break][break]

grookey, on the other hand, kept leaving his side to chase the aromatic scents. haoyu struggled to pursue the green pokemon in the crowd, but he found her standing right in front of the bake sale table. she made excited and inquisitive noises as the young woman in pink made her pitch.[break][break]

he sighed. okay, one pokemon treat and that's it. "excuse me," he said as he approached to stand beside his grookey, "is there anything you would recommend for her?"[break]

"lutgarde," he repeats with a smile.[break][break]

he gestures to himself as he says, "i'm haoyu tso. if you're ever in lilycove to lend a hand on a case, you might just work with me." he was getting used to rangers and other leaguers helping out with cases; often, their different experiences lended something beneficial to an investigation.[break][break]

his silicobra nuzzled closer as haoyu considered how to properly thank his hero. "there's an excellent ramen bar in town, if you'll let me treat you. i owe you big time; i didn't come out here with my full team, and that flygon had it out for my dear silicobra." such was nature, so he didn't begrudge the flygon.[break]

the houndstone was a dead giveaway.[break][break]

haoyu wasn't much for canines, but he knew this one. the rugged detective was worrying over the man bent in the alley, and before he approached, he already knew what he'd see.[break][break]

"rough night?" he approached with a pleasant expression, though he felt a lot of concern. nikita appeared to be in poor shape, but he didn't smell like he'd bathed in alcohol. he didn't believe nikita to suddenly be a lightweight, either. "did you keep an eye on your drink?" could he be drugged? could someone have slipped something into his drink? haoyu had half a mind to charge into whatever bar nikita came from and interrogate everyone around.

silicobra's safely in his arms. the sandstorm dies down anti-climactically.[break][break]

he turns to his rescuer with grateful relief. "i'm so glad you were here!" his silicobra nuzzles him, then curls around his neck loosely. "she gets anxious around fliers. it created a whole... thing."[break][break]

his silicobra did not care much for heights. haoyu couldn't help but adjust his glasses sheepishly. "i feel guilty about the bad weather. i hope it didn't damage you or your pokemon." he didn't want to have an awkward call to the ranger station in town.

haoyu was ready to bust the windows out the car with the speed they left, but he saw lam's calm - that which predated a storm - and followed suit. if this were a movie, it'd be a lackluster beginning to an action scene, but haoyu imagined this is where the music would start playing. and as the duo approached quietly, the music would threaten to swell...[break][break]

the goon slammed the van door shut without any fanfare. he turned back to the mouth of the alley to find haoyu's extended arm, giving his silicobra a launching point as she slithered to his hand and tossed herself at the guy, wrapping around him and taking him to the ground. [break][break]

the grunt that was in the middle of settling into the driver's seat flew out, grabbing a butterfly knife from his pocket. as he charged forward, he tossed a pokeball at them and released a lickitung. haoyu's imagined movie soundtrack paused with a record-scratch. "a lickitung? hardly a rocket-associated pokemon."

it was like a blessing from arceus. silicobra slithered directly up to the palossand. she felt right at home with the sand pokemon, rolling around in its minerals. she made a pleasant sound.[break][break]

the palossand seemed much more ambivalent. haoyu almost couldn't make it out against the sand background, but then it became more mobile and shifted around the silicobra. at first, haoyu thought it was uncomfortable, but then he realized the palossand was playing with his silicobra. he smiled, pleased at the easy friendship silicobra forged with others.[break][break]

silicobra lucks out as a sudowoodo appears. it is still as a statue. she approaches and teases at it with her tongue to entice a reaction. the pokemon, however, doesn't move an inch.[break][break]

silicobra does a circle around it, inspecting. but the pokemon is not going to give her the interaction she seeks. she hisses, just to see if that breaks it, but the pokemon remains unmoving. silicobra's disappointment is obvious as it slithers forward. haoyu follows, suppressing a smile whenever sillicobra turns to look at him.[break][break]
