Okay, no, pause. This guy was just a sociopath, or something. Devoid of feeling. Those balls of steel harbored no pain, no joy, no nothing. No brains, either. 'Just as antsy?' What the fuck.

If anyone should be an elite four, maybe it's this guy.

Stone cold killer right here.

"You're fucked."

She blurts out, unprovoked. But, given she is shameless, the woman doesn't seem at all phased by what she's said. She just tucks her chin and raises her brow and stares at him with equal parts amazement and.. unease.

"Is it because they're worried you'll snap and kill somebody? Cause I can see why."

Paxton resumes normal human conversation, which frankly, is even more reason for her to believe this guy might be a robot or something. With a slow, dramatic blink, Remi gives a very tight shake of her head as if to shake loose her bewilderment.

"Nowhere in particular, really. Just sightseeing, like I said."

Had she said? All of a sudden now she couldn't remember. Remi blinks once more, tearing her focus from the strangely perfect shape of his face and down to the Togedemaru nearby. The Pokemon had appeared out of nowhere around the same time the guy was busy catching the Beldum. She hadn't been fast enough to take the psychic-type for herself, and frankly didn't want to. This dude was nuts.

So, she satisfies herself with just the small metal rodent. Rocket would be happy with anything with a little bit of steel - even if she gave literally the bare minimum. It's the thought that counts, right?

"Bro, why the fuck're you staring at that Beldum for?"

Her Sneasel, tag-teaming, stun-lock the Togedemaru into fainting. They snicker and dance over it's dropped body, and Remi picks it up before more harm could be done. It wouldn't do, probably to offer up something half-dead already.

He’d been watching Joules move from one opponent to the next, this time picking a fight with a Bisharp that was running nearby. As Joules busied themselves with smacking the smaller pokemon over and over with their own weight, Paxton turned his attention back to Remi, eyes wide in surprise. He didn’t repeat what she said but he did look a little stunned. Maybe a little confused or perhaps that what hurt looked like? Regardless, she would blink, and he’d have looked away, deadpan all over again. He doesn’t seem angry or upset with her. “I don’t know. They probably thought my body would snap instead.” He replied with a shrug. [break][break]

She seemed unnerve and part of him wondered if perhaps he should take his leave before he got reported to the police for being a total creep. She mentioned sightseeing and Paxton let out a small breath as he realized she was still talking to him and not about to run off and report him. “Ah…have you been to Meteor Falls yet, then?” he asked about to gesture towards it before realizing he was inside a cave with very little light. [break][break]

“Well- I-” The question caught him off guard. He took a moment to chuck a pokeball at the fainted Bisharp Joules had dragged back to their circle. “Well, that’s how Joules communicated before when they were small…so I just thought maybe the Beldum wanted to talk?” he said with a small shrug. That sounded even worse now that he explained it out loud. He deflected back to Remi. “Nice catch.” [break][break]

What a bizarre, beautiful, terrifying man.

Spoke to Pokemon because he spoke to his own the same way. Deadpan and cold even in spite of her sarcastic, witty banter. Wait, was she not witty enough? Was she only coming across as a total bitch? Almost certainly.

He was absolutely nothing like what she was used to, and that was absolutely why she was so interested. Ravenous, really, the hunger she feels all of a sudden.

"Body snapping doesn't sound too bad, if it's for the right reasons."

Remi?

"I have not."

Not yet, anyway.

"Wow."

Joules doesn’t take a break, ramming into the Klingklang that hovered nearby, curious of the party. However, it’s not one to be intimidated in its own home and lashed back. Paxton ignored the sounds of steel on steel, disinterested in the little turf fight. It was clear he had total faith in his partner to deal with it. And sure enough, a few moments later he would hear the screech of Joules’ victory beep boops before the Magnezone appeared, dragging with their Magnet Pull the fainted steel type. Deposited promptly at his feet like a cat, the blonde is quick to pat the metal pokemon before tossing a pokeball at the Klingklang. [break][break]

“I agree.” He said as he looked back at his companion. “But maybe its not good for me to say so.” He said with a chuckle. The Police couldn’t hold that kind of mentality. They were ‘protect and serve’ after all. Even if most of what he protected was just a community’s nerves. Then again, working the beat was way better than filing paperwork. Though…that too tired him out. Maybe they were right. He really had needed this vacation.[break][break]

“It’s really pretty up there. Just a big cave with a bunch of waterfalls.” He said smiling slightly as he remembered how soothed he’d been exploring it. If you counted following a general path for tourists ‘exploring’. But whatever. [break][break]

Both of her Sneasel reappear in a flash, crippling a Gabite before it has a chance to sneak-attack them instead. Ever efficient, and giving Remi the window she needs to flirt and fuck around. The perfect team.

Because honestly? The more and more she watched this man and his Pokemon work, the more interested in him she became. Maybe it was the way he spoke, or the broadness of his shoulders. Maybe it was his nonchalant attitude and the slight smiles he offered his Pokemon. Or maybe she's lonely and he's right here.

Whatever the case may be, she only gives the fainted Gabite a brief moment of her attention, temporarily overlooking her fear of dragons in favor of getting laid.

Hopefully, anyway.

"Almost sounds like you're asking me out." She smirks, her expression playful. "If you were.. I might just have to say yes."

YOUR PREVIOUS CAPTURE ATTEMPTS WERE SUCCESSFUL!

Joules for the most part seemed to have settled down, all their pent-up energy expended after the last few rounds of battling wild pokemon. Quietly, the Magnezone returned to their trainer settling next to them. Paxton gave the dual type a small pat before watching a Klink peek out at them form behind a builder. It ran off as soon as it made eye contact with Paxton. He looked back to his partner, who was also eyeing the wild pokemon but they didn’t make a move to chase it. [break][break]

It was very obvious Paxton had heard the question despite his reluctance to speak. His ears began to burn a colorful red. He was immediately flustered but he held his tongue to hide it. It was going about as well as expected. Joules floated quietly, multiple eyes darting from Paxton to Remi and back. “I-If…you’ve got the time,” he began, straining to keep his voice level as understanding swiftly transformed his easygoing mood into something more alert. “I can make it a date.” Joules didn’t beep clocking the easy smile their trainer flashed at Remi. The smallest hints of a grin flashing as he added, “I just need to stop at my hotel room to pick up a couple of things.”

The not so subtle offer thrown down. [break][break]
