the news was felt throughout the region of Hoenn. Sootopolis had fallen to Rocket. Tallulah felt useless, like she should have been there with to help fight. she was his partner. she couldn't even help her ally.

with intention to find more Pokémon, her steps led her to Shoal Cave. but someone was already there. "sir" Tallulah says to , dipping her head to the Head Ranger "I didn't expect to see you here."

Today was one of—those days.

Those days where Lars would wander alone in Shoal Cave. Not searching for Pokémon, but—

To think.

And maybe converse with the deity, maybe, in the back of his mind while doing so.

They both didn’t know why that Zap Cannon attack that had been thrown their way had hit with such power, despite the attack itself having a low accuracy rate.

And then he remembered that strange—was he misremembering things, or was there a freak sandstorm near the end of the siege that they ultimately had to retreat from? Shit, why was his memory refusing to cooperate…

He’s lost in his thoughts all alone (heh) until a voice shakes him out of it.

“Why hello there, Miss Colt. And please,” he trailed off as he held his hand up, “…call me Lars. It’s better for the both of us.”

After a few moments of silence, he had to ask, “What brings you out here?”

Surely she wasn’t going to be planting some seeds for that deranged carrot that the Glastrier liked to chew at…?

informality. "then, Lars" a pause "you can just call me Tallulah." if that was how it was to be, kin among comrades, she would accept. walking a bit closer, she stares around the Shoal Cave.

"looking for new allies" she replies to his question "I haven't an ice-type yet; figured this would be the perfect place to find one in the summer." hiding in the depths of the cave, looking for refuge.

she glances out of the corner of her eye at him. "the quiet helps me think too."

“It’s a pleasure then, Tallulah,” he remarked in reply.

He quirked his eyebrows her way, the hint of a grin spreading across his face. “Well, hopefully with two of us searching, we can cover more ground. It’s hard looking alone—especially when you need a very specific Pokémon. Is there, like, anything in particular you’re looking for?”

He hoped that her answer was not going to be a Glalie, because there was one particular asshat of a Glalie that lived in the caves that was out for blood—his blood.

Even if it had already been a year, he was still being chased by the literal ‘pac-man’ whenever he would come down here.

“Also, it’s way too hot outside. I like it in here. It’s cool.”

"I was hoping to find an Alolan Sandshrew" she replies easily. a steel type... she did not have one of those yet. might as well kill two Pidgey with one stone, right? she could do with a dual-type to cover her bases. ice and steel.

before she could remark on the cold air, something piqued her interest. there was a glint further down the tunnel and she steps forward, squinting but - something shot out toward them. Tallulah's eyes flew open in surprise.

the Glalie was a shock, but not unprepared for. the glint of its teeth, the fierceness... she had her Arcanine at the ready for ice-types. but it sensed she reached for her Pokeball and shot toward her.

“We’re of the same mind, then—” he remarked at her statement about the Alolan Sandshrew.

He was missing only two more Pokémon before he conceivably had all the non-legendary Ice-types that existed, so whoever found one first—he hoped they weren’t going to get into a squabble.

However—

A loud, unfortunately familiar roar shook the cavern and Lars swore in the back of his mind—

Because the very same fucking Glalie that had been chasing after him for a year now had returned, yet again!

“Oh, hell no,” he hissed, quickly moving and getting in front of Tallulah just in case the Ice-type went bananas.

“You—you handle the Hippopotas, I’ll take care of this asshat!” he continued as a Sandstorm started to manifest no thanks to the small hippopotamus that had…waddled in behind the terrifying, scarred Glalie.

“This shithead has unfinished business with me, and I’m not going to let you get hurt because of it,” he continued as the Glalie roared in his direction, scarred horns eager for battle as a sudden barrage of Ice Shards were released their way.



time to settle the score once and for all, you fucking Glalie

from what she knew of Lars, it could be said he was level of head. the Head Ranger was calm and composed - to see him lose his chill after spotting the Glalie was shocking to say the least.

"o-okay!" she says as he steps in front of her to deal with the wild Pokemon. she darted to where the hippo was coming from before glancing over her shoulder, pivoting and wondering if the man would need assistance.

what did he mean by his words?

"Rusty" she calls out to her Mudsdale, letting him charge the Hippopotas and make it faint. the equine would neigh fiercely, gladdened to stretch his limbs.

The Ice Shards came screaming towards them both—but a vast majority of them were headed straight at him.

“Quindi vuoi il mio sangue? Così sia,*” he growled in Alto Marean before bringing his hands together and conjuring up an equal amount of jagged shards of ice and sending those flying at the Glalie.

Obviously the Ice-type was surprised at what the human right in front of him had done. How the fuck was that possible?!

“How are you holding up over there?!” he shouted as more unevenly-sized shards joined the first batch he’d sent hurtling at the Gallie—now too shocked to actually retaliate because of what he was doing.

A sudden blast of Icy Wind then came headed his way—however while to normal humans it would be rather cold, to Lars it was nothing at all, being immune to winter’s chill thanks to the blessing of the deity.

“Still want a bite out of me, huh?” he taunted the Glalie, who roared at him before charging again—this time in an attempt to take a big, nice, fat Crunching bite out of him.

However, another explosion of arctic energy emanated from his hands, an attempt to freeze the Glalie in an even more grotesque mouth-open posture, or if not freeze the Pokémon, drive it away—as far away from where they were as possible.



*You want my blood? So be it.

the drop in temperature was felt.

Tallulah brought nothing to Shoal Cave except for leggings, a light jacket and a shirt. oh, and shoes of course. still, she had been prepared for the chill. she was not prepared for the status of the Head Ranger.

An Avatar.

she was a smart girl; she could put two and two together. it wasn't as shocking as some might assume it to be for her. Hoenn was a mess of Legendries and people co-existing. why wouldn't the Head Ranger be deemed worthy?

"I'm fine" Tallulah says calmly, swallowing her initial shock. the hippo had all but been placed gently to the side to recover. Rusty comes to her side, staring at the fierce battle openly. 'are you though?' she would think.

The scarred horns were so close he could see the discolored cartilage where the Glalie had previously scratched itself in various assertations of dominance clearly showed, and it was proof that this particular Ice-type was the boss running the place.

Well, the boss at least until the deity themselves decided to claim Shoal Cave as their own.

Mouth frozen in an ungainly snarl, the chunks of ice that had fallen at his feet were actually growing in size, before he got an idea—

With a shoving gesture, the growing sheet of ice then struck the Glalie, before he looked over at where—

Ah, shit.

“I guess you know what I am, then,” he said as he tilted his head, suggesting they go deeper into the caves. “Not exactly fully human, but not fully divine either.”

After a few moments of silence, he just had to ask—

“Did Sénon say anything about this to you?”



the score has been settled. For now. (skipping Glalie, but he knows it’ll be returning)

the Glalie was, for the moment, gone. it retreated back into the depths, refusing to go outside into the heat. did Senon say? was question. Tallulah re-joins the man as they walk further in. "no" she replies to him "I assume he didn't think it was my - or anyone else's - business."

the other Head Ranger knew though. she didn't think Senon would openly tell others; he didn't seem the type to blurt out trade secrets about fellow co-workers. "and you don't have to tell me anything" Tallulah goes on, raising a hand to tug a strand of hair away from her windswept face. Lars must have kept it a secret for a reason.

the Beartic is noticed but ignored. it watches the two humans as it goes about its own business, ignoring them when they weren't a threat.

At her remark, he blinked for a few moments.

“Sorry you had to find out about it in such a…manner,” he apologized as he continued on their way, going deeper into the cave.

Due to the way the Glalie had been driven off, other Pokémon wouldn’t wander near—however, this time there was a Dewgong sliding happily across the ice, not a single care in the world.

“…apparently that Glalie’s been making life hell for everything in here,” he remarked quietly, leaving the Dewgong alone to enjoy its merry way as it continued to belly-flop across the ice.

He wondered what would happen if both of them saw what they were looking for—and only one of them could grab it. It was a possibility, after all.
