Since he was already out here literally waving a big ‘fuck you’ in the face of the very people who told him not to go out and stay home in Fortree—

Here he was, enjoying himself.

There were so many summer food stands—he’d even found the time to renew the ‘ramune partnership’ that he’d started a couple years back and was very pleased about it.

Either way—

People were getting out of the way at the sight of him ‘running’ around like a limp, wet noodle (which he actually was), leaning on a crutch while sampling all the summer treats.

Of course he had some Pokémon with him just in case someone decided to challenge him to a fight.

Yikes.

Not even getting a chance to break whilst the others are having fun, huh? Sometimes, Zahra wonders if being a ranger is really worth the hassle. Nevertheless, she's rather proficient when it comes to slacking off, a certain sleepiness settling in as she wonders the festival grounds for things of interest.
[break][break]
Of course, it doesn't take long for her to find it. With the odd movements of the crowd and the way they seem to whisper, she's drawn in by the cause of it all.
[break][break]
"You look like you've been dragged through a junkyard, мое солнышко." Though she smiles, her eyes don't seem to hold the same glint, a hand gently placed upon the crutch as she gives him a once over. "How the food taste? Found anything sweet?"

He was in the middle of eating a funny flavored snow cone that was marketed as “Fuzzy Navel” when he heard the familiar voice.

Turning around (or at least, around as best as he could manage) he was met with a familiar face—and chuckled.

“Been through worse, котенок,” he chuckled at the familiar voice before looking down and reaching to ruffle this pinkette’s hair.

Shit, he really did have a penchant for pink hair, did he?

“Working again?” he inquired curiously. Not too far behind him hovered a pensive-looking Chandelure.

It takes her a sheer ton of willpower just to restrain herself from jabbing the man in the side, settling for swatting the hand away as she whines.
[break][break]
"I spent hours trying to comb my hair." Pouting as she pats down the messy strands, Zahra can't help but sigh at the way he simply brushes her concern off. "Being through worse doesn't give you a free ticket to go all willy nilly and leap at danger. I could sweep you right off your feet and you'd probably struggle to get up for the next few hours, you half-baked noodle."
[break][break]
Ah, but his questions really hits where it hurts the most, a sigh drawn from her lips as she gives him a shrug.
[break][break]
"If only people could be responsible adults and stay out of trouble. I wanted to enjoy the festivities too but here we are, stuck on patrol duty."
[break][break]
Ollie barks in weary agreement, seemingly appearing out of nowhere after circling the plaza for any signs of disruptive activities. It's been a long day, stopping people in the midst of fistfights, participating in a few battles and even making a loose promise to meet with after hours. The hours seem to drag and the day just doesn't seem to end.
[break][break]
"Kinda wish I called off now."

“Aw, c’mon, you like it when I do that,” he said with a mischievous chuckle.

And it was back to the noodle analogy!

“Hey, Z, I am not a noodle,” he continued as he then pretended to turn her into an arm rest. “You’re fun-sized, you know that?”

The sight of the updated standings made him snort for a few moments before he took another bite out of his snow cone.

Her last sentence gave him an idea. Looking at her with this mischievous glint in his eyes, he then pointed to a nearby arena that had just been cleared out.

“You can do that now, you know. I have a Chandelure with me, we can try a one-on-one battle. C’mon, don’t be such a kill joy” he said, wiggling his eyebrows at her before pulling her along with him as he hobbled towards the battle ground.

“They’re not going to notice someone missing from patrol, it’s impossible you’re the only one working right now.”

Fun-sized. Alex is truly lucky that he's on crutches at the moment or he would've probably found himself getting buried 6 feet under.
[break][break]
"Keep it up and the only future Ollie will see is of me kicking your ass." Crude but ever so genuine, Zahra laughs as she tosses the threat lightly. "And really? You're enabling me to slack off like this? Can't really say I wasn't expectin' it though."
[break][break]
She barely puts up any resistance when Alex tugs upon her arm, the uneven tap tapping of his footsteps making her snort as she averts her gaze to the sky. It's almost as if they're back to the good old days, when they'd remained carefree and hadn't much clue of the great, big world.

“Look, you only live once. You can afford to play hooky for a few hours, котенок,” he chuckled as he hobbled towards the empty arena and then stood on one side.

“You know, we can’t have a match if we’re on the same side of the arena,” he chuckled as the Chandelure followed, its eyes trained on the Absol.

Oh how crazy this was going to be.

This is a sense of exhilaration that comes from defying the rules, a colour that she rarely finds in the mundanity of life.
[break][break]
"Guess you'll be paying from your pocket if they give me a paycut for this." Humming she dances away from his grasp, her faithful Absol by her side. As soon as Ollie takes the field, Zahra's smirking, flourishing her hand towards her opponent as she takes a mocking bow.

“Really?” was all he could reply as he made a face and the Chandelure floated forward.

Some people started to gather, but he paid them no mind.

“Hope you don’t mind if I do go first,” and with that the Chandelure’s eyes suddenly flashed before releasing the blast of Confuse Ray at the Absol.

Long before the Chandelure even releases its attack, Ollie prances forwards with a friendly smile on his face and a plan in mind, greeting the ghost with a hearty Sucker Punch to the face. He howls with glee, taking the full brunt of the Confuse Ray without flinching.

“You meanie,” he said with his eyebrows furrowing across the arena. “Rude!”

Of course he was only joking as he stuck his tongue out at her as the Chandelure howled in pain, before backing away and then releasing a burst—several bursts of, in fact—flame.

While it was no Will-O-Wisp, it was a close-range Inferno.

Ollie Detects the fire before the Chandelure even begins to burn, cautiously backing off and creating distance just to keep himself safe. After all the unbearable heat that bears down upon them, he really doesn't feel like roasting any more than he already has!

“Me? You started it by calling me a half-baked wet noodle!” he continued, sticking his tongue out again before bursting into a fit of laughter.

“Or do you want me to call you ‘little kitty’ all over again?” he continued, knowing she hated all the myriad of nicknames he threw her way.

Back where the Chandelure was, the flames intensified once more—before this time throwing a Ball of spectral, Shadow energy at the Absol.

Alexei was pretty certain that defensive moves like Protect and Detect couldn’t be used in succession—



Chandelure used Shadow Ball!

Oh, he was just asking to get his ass kicked. It's right there, a defenceless man on crutches knowingly taunting her across the field. She can simply cross the arena and give him a straight jab to the ribs...

The Shadow Ball elicits a spark of confusion in her mind, her head tilting slightly as she places a finger upon her lips.

Regardless of whether it is or isn't, it doesn't stop Ollie from catching a glimpse of the Future. All he needs is to bide his time and victory is assured.

“Ooh, someone’s getting catty, маленькая клубника,” he teased once again.

To her last question, all he said was, “Maybe,” before giving her the biggest shit-eating grin he could manage while adjusting his balance on the crutch.

The Chandelure completely and totally ignored the banter between the two humans, flinging a Hex at the Absol—who seemingly did nothing?

Huh.



Chandelure used Hex!
