Noelani eyes did widen in surprise when he saw who exactly would be working with him right before a grin overcame his face. Not wasting time, he was quick to put a hand on his forehead and swoon dramatically “Oh my, that passionate greeting stirred my heart. To think the fates would conspire to bring us together once more, truly a blessing.”
[break][break]
The alolan would keep his wiggling for a few more moments and then switch to a more causal stance while trailing off with a few snickers. Next to him Wikolia simply rolled her eyes at him and barked out a greeting towards the woman.
[break][break]
Shaking off some of the silliness knowing to not push it too much, yet at least, Noelani amusedly added “Ready to shoo away some birds Hoody.” while moving towards her and the building only stopping once he was next to her “So, did you get a key or something to get in and reach the roof for this cause I sure as hell didn’t and while I can I doubt it would be appreciated by the clients for us to break in.”
[break][break]
Rubbing at his chin he would throw another look at the structure “I do wonder what has made it’s home here. Maybe one of the more urban adjusted flying types or maybe some bug types, hmmm,” the statement was more half mumble to himself as he waited for the reaction of his temporary coworker both to his question and just in general to the buffoonery he had pulled off.

It seemed his silliness had been taken well enough so Noelani was satisfied with having judged the atmosphere right, in fact he had to smother a grin at the brief toothy smile he had glimpsed from the corner of his eye. He was already growing on her though wisely he decided to not comment on what he had seen, he did have some tact after all.
[break][break]
It seemed they wouldn’t have to be breaking in seeing as lulu brought out the keys to the building. Following after her Noelani just winked at the Solrock gazing at him, a bit creepy but he understood it was being protective of its trainer and the alolan couldn’t fault him for that. Still as they entered and the darkness enveloped them, he couldn’t help the amused comment that escaped him “Is us meeting and exploring dark places where it’s more likely to get stabbed or mugged going to be a thing?”
[break][break]
Of course, unlike him his partner for the job was more prepared and swiftly illuminated things with a flashlight. A snort and a mutter of “My Hero.” Came from him before nodding at her question of finding out “Let’s do it then.”
[break][break]
While it might have been fun to explore the building, it was technically a job, from shady site or not, and as such he did inject a bit of professionalism in it. Looking at his surroundings with a bit of regret the alolan moved towards the stairs. As they began ascending towards the roof Noelani would throw a question towards lulu “So do you have any suggestion on how we do this? We have to relocate the nests though more than likely that would mean dealing with the protectors of the nests as we do that.”
[break][break]
At the bark from the vulpix Noelani mocked frowned before turning to her and replying “No, burning it a bit to smoke them out is not a valid strategy.”
[break][break]
That only made Wikolia huff and roll her eyes. With a chuckle that was only a bit concerned Noelani would continue going up till they reached the door leading to the rooftop before making way so lulu could pass, she was the one with the key after all.

He only snorted in amusement at her hope of not meeting as such place before returning to simply ascending the stairs. Though it seemed she grew annoyed when he mentioned relocating the nests themselves but that’s what he had been told so Noelani just shrugged his shoulder before speaking “It’s what the job said not that I care too much. Mostly cause between you and me I think someone just lifted the job from the ranger center and didn’t bother to have it be adjusted. Probably want to one up the rangers or just looking for the cred of doing said job without putting any real work.”
[break][break]
As they got out on the rooftop proper Noelani’s gaze locked on to the talonflame that was already glaring at them with suspicion. He could tell it was a strong specimen. Nodding absentmindedly towards Lulu due to not wanting to take his eyes off the nest guardian he said “Sure I don’t mind, their selling price isn’t too bad, pretty popular in Galar in recent years, Unova too.”
[break][break]
Wikolia was already stepping confidently forward and let out a challenging cry making the talonflame shriek back in response and spread its wings and take off from its position. Taking that as acceptance the Vulpix fired off a Flamethrower though the flying type easily evaded the attack. The battle was about to start in earnest so before it did Noelani threw in towards Lulu “Want to tag team it or should I distract it while you go get the eggs?”
[break][break]
Depending on her answer he would decide how the approach the fight in the meantime his own pokemon was doing a good enough job of distracting the talonflame and trading attacks with it.

“Hey it’s not a conspiracy when they are really out to get you.” was Noelani own response accompanied by a brief chuckle. Though he was pretty sure the saying went with paranoia but whatever the meaning was clear enough.
[break][break]
Still, it was time for action so the alolan simple nodded his head in agreement after all it would indeed be better to take out the talonflame first. Speaking of it after the brief clash with Lulu’s Golisopod it was now flying high above them. Which only annoyed his Vulpix and since due to being a fire type herself she knew how prideful they could get that’s why she launched a Fire Blast towards the bird despite knowing that the chance to hit were low.
[break][break]
The talonflame indeed didn’t need to move too much to dodge it but the attack had done its job as a challenge. With a shriek and powerful flaps of its wings to gather more height the Talonflame was then enveloped in energy before diving down towards Wikolia. It became rapidly apparent it was using Brave Bird.
[break][break]
The collision with his Vulpix was imminent but Noelani only grinned as he uttered his command “Use Disable.” And with a vindictive bark Wikolia fired off the beam of energy hitting the talonflame and bringing it out of its attack. The bird still slammed into the vulpix but was nowhere near as damaging as it would have been otherwise. Rolling away from the hit the Wikolia fired off a Flamethrower but it wasn’t aimed directly at the other pokemon instead trying to redirect it and have it move closer towards Lulu’s Golisopod.

It seemed steering it towards the Golisopod had worked pretty well making Noelani release a satisfied hum. The bug type pretty much went to town after that ensuring that the fight wouldn’t be lasting much longer. Giving a nod towards Lulu in agreement he would then command Wikolia “You heard the lady, let’s finish this.”
[break][break]
With a bark of agreement, the Vulpix charged the injured Talonflame. Noticing another attacker, the bird shifted its attention and attempted to use Acrobatics. It managed to clip the Vulpix but in response she only blasted it with Fire Blast. The force of the attack knocked the bird on the ground momentarily but before it could get back up Wikolia had pounced on it’s back. With a cry she unleashed Inferno on to the Talonflame. While it didn’t do as much damage due to it’s typing the attack did succeed on keeping the other pokemon on the ground.
[break][break]
On the third Inferno from the Vulpix the Talonflame slumped in surrender stopping it’s struggling and letting out a cry of defeat. That prompted Wikolia to triumphantly bark and puff out her chest even as the pokeball Noelani threw hit the other fire type. It made her stumble as the body it disappeared which prompted a chuckle out of the alolan as he waited for the capture to complete.
[break][break]
Once it was done and if successful Noelani would stretch a bit and mutter “Well that was fun.” Once he and Lulu were both done wrapping up things and preparing to part, he would throw a two-finger salute towards the woman “See ya around. Hopefully next time we meet it’s not in a dark and creepy place eh?”
