Well, this was certainly an interesting form of stress relief, wasn't it? Josh wasn't really sure what his wife was thinking when she suggested their "stress relief alone time" should actually be having their Pokemon smash a car in Slateport. This seemed like a waste of a car. Nevermind the fact that this was far from what Josh had been expecting when his wife had suggested "stress relief alone time" between them. But he could suggest the kind he had in mind later. Happy wife, happy life, right?

"FLARE BLITZ!"

Josh's own Typhlosion would launch itself at the car, joining Arashi in the attack. He supposed at the least this could be some interesting training for his Pokemon.

"I didn't know mass destruction was your thing" the blonde teased his wife in turn. "You know, when you said "stress relief alone time"... I thought you had something else in mind."

Oh the competition was fierce alright. Inferno had seen his big brother hit the side of the car with a Rollout, and in turn, the Typlosion loosed a roar before moving to the other side of the car and hitting it with a fierce Double Edge, one that actually caused the car to come off its wheels a moment before it moved to rest on all four wheels once more. Josh winced at the impact.

"Having a hell of a time is one way to put it" he commented, before rolling his eyes when his wife made remarks about being horny on main. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and messed up her hair. "This is the first time I've heard you complain about it" he teased right back, leaning in and puckering his lips as he stopped inches from her lips. He blew her a kiss before slowly pulling back.

"Besides... The kids just turned five. Surely you wouldn't mind having another by now?" he joked in turn.

Inferno made a face when the car didn't flip over entirely. The Typhlosion didn't like this at all and the spirit of competition was overwhelming here. While it wasn't participating in the Star Tournament, those competitive fires were still burning as bright as could be. Inferno would respond by curling into a ball and slamming itself into the car with all it had using Flare Blitz once more. This time with far more power.

"I will never stop flexing my height" Josh joked in turn as he wrapped both arms around her shoulders and placing a peck on her forehead. "But I still love you, my fun-sized dearest."

He laughed a bit when she made her remarks, but his comeback was interrupted as Inferno's slam sent the car tipping over. Josh looked over, and whistled in turn.

"... Maybe when the kids are six."

Of course, Josh responded by wrapping his arms around Izumi's waist and lifting her off her feet, getting behind her and tickling her sides and stomach as he did his best to restrain her arms with his elbows so as to counteract her tickling with his own. This was a battle she had started, and it was one that he would finish. This was a fight she should not have started with him. The tickle war was on, and the tickle wars would be his to win.

Meanwhile, Inferno didn't heed the message of its brother, deciding to attack with Lava Plume this time, aiming the piece on its back at the car before opening fire. Both Trainer and Pokemon were in a competitive spirit and both intended to get the better of this!

"Never! You hast started this tickling war, and I shalt see this through!" the blonde dramatized as he tickled her a fair bit more before finally stopping. He had won the tickling war! And thus he turned her around and placed a peck on her lips, grinning at her cheekily. All was fair in love and tickling wars, even if that meant using one's towering height to their advantage.

Meanwhile, the competition between the two Typhlosion brothers was reaching its climax. Arashi had taken aim with one last Flamethrower, trying to reduce the car to cinders. Meanwhile, Inferno prepared one final Flare Blitz attack, wanting to get the last laugh. This time, with parts stripped and burned off, the car was sent rolling across the path from the impact. Josh stopped to see the carnage.

"Well. They seem to be having fun."

Inferno loosed a loud, victorious roar in turn.
