It amazed the scarred male how much the league expected him to do. He was only one man and could only do so much. Every minutes of everyday was spent doing something for them with little to no time to himself or do what he pleased. Seriously, even bathroom breaks were limited. Whether it was doing gym challenges, teaching and training aspiring trainers, patrolling this city and the routes around it, or taking care of odd jobs requested by them, Maverick was always doing something. It wasn’t that he didn’t like keep busy. The annoyance was that they wanted more from him. What was the point of being a gym leader if the stress was only going to cause more harm the good?

It wasn’t even the stress that got to him, honestly. It wasn’t the pressure to be more than what could offer. The hardest part of this whole thing for him was the politics behind it. Maverick never cared for the news or paid much attention to the political aspects. That just wasn’t his thing. He could do everything else they demanded from him, expect for that. Politics was his weakness point in this position. He was thankful that during the conference, he was able to lay low. Keep his mouth shut and let the pro’s handle the media. His silence was probably view poorly however, despite his gut telling him to remain quite. His lack of participation was going to bite him in the ass. But if the league or council felt like he should contribute more, then maybe they should train him on that aspect.

This whole thing was giving him a headache. Hand rose to comb this his head as if that would help. A sigh escaped him, warm colored orbs flickered to his large fire dog that stood proudly by his side. No wonder they couldn’t keep gym leaders for very long if this was how they treated them. Evo shifted his head to meet his master gaze, tension in the humans eyes. He let out a muffled bark, a grow soon followed over as he nudged the man rather hard. This action made the trainer lose his balance for a moment, arms flailed out to catch his balance again. He scowled playful at the arcanine, hands rose to push the arcanine’s shoulders. Evo didn’t dodge, stiffening himself and using his weight as an advantage. His trainer rolled his eyes, retreating his hands back into his pockets. “Come on you,” he teased, motion with a nod for him to follow him, “Let’s get you some exercise.”

for at route 116. :P

It didn’t take long for the pair to find a pokemon to do some practice training on. Roaming the worn out path of route 116, a rustle in a near by bush gave it away. The canine let out a low nasty growl, furred lips peeled back to reveal his pearl whites at the mystery creature. Mav’s brow raised, his own pair of orbs stared at the moving bush wondering what was about to pop out. To his surprised, a well prized ralts leaped out from behind it. It head titled up to meet the arcanine’s menacing stature. Arcanine’s muzzle slowly opened, vicious growl soon turned into a loud monstrous noise almost like a contestant roar. But before the ralts could decided to fight or flight, the trainer made that decision for it.

“Get let it get away.”

The arcanine leaped forward in one swift and fluid movement, muzzle extended even more as his teeth reached out to clamp down on the poor little creature body. A pink like glow lite up in his mouth as he managed to snap his jaws down on the creatures body, the psychic fang doing some damage to the creature. The Ralts screamed, arms pushed against the jaws that held it in place. The arcanine bite down hard, whipping his head back and forth in hopes that motion would daze the creature. It worked for a moment, the wild pokemon too dazed from the fast violent movement to fight back. In that moment of hesitation, the thick taste of sulfur boiled in his gut. And soon, the arcanine throw the ralts into the air above him. The creature screamed, failing about in the air fearing for its life. And in mid decent from its fall, Evo sent a Fire Blast straight at it.

The fire blast hit, burning the creatures skin as it fell to the earth with a thud. Maverick blinked for a moment, forgetting that his arcanine was this violent for a moment. Evo approached the unconscious creature, ready to fight. “Wait!” Maverick shouted, darting up to the poor mulled pokemon, “Don’t kill it. I want it.” The canine lifted his gaze to his master, eyes filled with confusion and fired up battle rage. Maverick glared at him back, standing tall with his arms crossed over his chest. His brow rose, wondering if Evo would change his word. For a few minutes, the two stared at each other. Neither of them backing down in the stand off. “Well,” the man poked at the canine, testing the creature. The arcanine snorted, taking a few steps back and sitting down.

Maverick let out a huff, plucking an empty ball from his pocket and tossing it to capture the ralts. The ball hit, sucking the wild creature in and began its normal ritual of the attempt to capture. The gym leader’s gaze lifted from the ball the wiggled on the ground to his arcanine’s. A stiff chuckle escape him. For a moment, he thought Evo was really not going to listen to him. It has been a while sense the two had worked together but the trainer didn’t think it was long enough for his arcanine to be disobedient. Being a gym leader has taken his training away from his other creature. He needs to work on that.

for at route 116. dang... evo is rebelling. xD this was fun to write. capture and close plz.
