Now that he knew Patrick was along for the ride (and they were still playing with disadvantage at this point) Alexei blew a sharp, discordant note exactly once.
While his command with Mike wasn’t as refined as with, say, Gabriel or Kyouya, he knew that the Pelipper would come scrambling the moment it heard that scratchy noise he’d just made.
The Chandelure hung around near one of the lamp posts, before suddenly catching sight of a herd of—oh, no.
Oh, crap.As the Pelipper flew close, Alexei just happened to look around—and then his face contorted into a scowl of disgust.
What the hell?!One thing that relatively few people knew about him: he hated Purrloin. With a passion. He had a very good reason for it though.
Back home at least, in the biggest city in Unova—
in ornery Castelia—Purrloin were natively considered to be
pests by the locals that lived in the big, sprawling city. They were the equivalent of the ‘scourge’ and had to be dealt with frequently.
Since they were at a convenience store, he got an idea. Just as he was about to gesture at the hellbird to fly into the store, he saw the noxious purple cloud coming from a point near the entrance (at least, what he could tell).
“Mike. Try to blow that way for us, will you?” he said, tilting his head in the general direction of the cloud. While he was tempted to let loose with the Drizzle (and subsequently drench everyone in the process) he knew that it wasn’t time
yet.
Taking aim, the Pelipper then concentrated, before aiming a powerful, gale-force
Hurricane blast at the noxious cloud in an attempt to dispel it.
Turning to Patrick, Alexei then stewed on what was happening in front of them.
“Do you have Safeguard, or anything else that can protect us from that purple miasmic cloud?” he asked, before the Pelipper thought of an idea—
Using a sudden burst of
Agility to fly
around the general area of where there was no noxious purple cloud, the seagull Pokémon was fixated on getting into the convenience store as much as possible.
Who knew how much that beak could hold?!Going in through a back entrance (of course, there had to be one) the Pelipper then proceeded to cause mayhem, before flying as fast as he could overhead and dive-bombing one particular section of the store, scooping up a shelf’s worth full of cans before flying out the same way; through the back.
Avoiding the purple cloud as much as possible, the Pelipper then flew back towards Alexei, its beak considerably heavier than earlier before alighting in front of him.
“Cough it up, Mike,” he said, before the Pelipper spat up can after can,
after fucking can, of cat food. While thankfully there wasn’t any dog food in the mix—surely this was going to work?
“Have to get rid of the distractions first,” he said with a sigh as he began popping the cans open.
Ugh, if they were Purrloin he would
definitely be
tempted to kick one away—as one of the little fuckers had scratched him back then and it was a nightmare and a half getting
that wound treated as it kept on bleeding no matter what he did to staunch the wound.
Gross.
Another sharp whistle summoned the Chandelure, hovering close to where Alexei stood.
“Can you herd them for me? I know you can… try to make those little… laser-like beams of light?” he said, before the Chandelure let out a baleful-sounding noise and cackling, flying over the ungodly procession of cats.
There were
so.
Fucking.
MANY.
CATS!Lasering in the flames on its spindly arms, the Chandelure then proceeded to attempt baiting the cats to follow her. Even if she was tempted to place a Curse on them all, that wasn’t part of the agreement.
All this while, Alexei was opening can, after can, after fucking
can of cat food before lining it all up at one side.
“Over here!” he shouted at last once the last can had been opened.
Now, who was to say if the cats were going to go nuts at the sight of free food? There wasn’t any fresh fish in the convenience store, only the canned cat food variety, so…
Beggars couldn’t be choosers!
Alexei then remembered that the store may not like a Pelipper stealing their supply of cat food, so one wad of crumpled bills later, the Pelipper took the same circuitous route back inside the convenience store and literally belched up the money for the cat food on the cashier’s counter—never mind if it was all sticky and stank of Pelipper spit before proceeding back outside the long way.
Hey, as long as they paid for the shit they took it was no problem, right?

the hell bird (Pelipper) basically attempts to use Hurricane to repel the noxious purple cloud away from where team blondies fight and flight are, before using Agility to speed away and cut a turn mid-air and enter the konbini convenience store from the back entrance!
Pelipper causes mass chaos inside the store and scoops up enough cat food to make yo mama cry!
Pelipper then flies back outside with the load, which Alexei retrieves.
So now Alex’s on cat herding duty while the Chandelure distracts the cats as best as it could with her attempt at ‘laser pointer’ fire. Because cats mostly liked those, while Alexei finishes opening up the cans of cat food.
Chandelure then plays cat herder to lure them away from the field towards the food!
