"You'll have fun," Klaus goads his increasingly doubtful Skrelp, Gretel, as he kneels before the pokemon in the lobby of the Daycare. The poisonous sea dragon in question looks away with a snit, and Klaus sighs deeply, his hand reaching out to lightly pat Gretel; with that accomplished he finishes checking in the Skrelp and waves goodbye, an unspoken 'Behave' levelled at Gretel
[break][break]
Allowing a worker to escort her back to the grassy playground of the facility, Gretel immediately floats over to a small pool and flops within it. A malevolent gleam settling into her vibrant red eyes, the little Skrelp begins to make a menace of herself as she begins to foul the water with gobs of poison, resulting in the evacuation of several other water-types from the pool.
[break][break]
A queen overseeing her newly acquired kingdom, Gretel swims languidly without a care in the world.

Setting the oversized Tyrunt on the ground outside the Daycare, the Fixer, in his civilian getup, knelt down before the aspiring despot and looked him in the eye, expression stern. "Ruin, remember: No eating any other pokemon." A pause, in which several less than pleasant memories are briefly relived, and then he adds, "Or people. Don't eat anything other than the food they put in your bowl." A scoffing snort accompanied a dismissive turning away of the fossil pokemon's enormous head, which was promptly seized in his trainer's powerful hand, and forced back around so that the scowling creature was face-to-face with the Fixer, his features set in a flat, dangerous stare. "This is important. Don't fuck this up. You need to learn to play with others." [break] [break]
After reluctantly acquiesing with much grumbling, and being dropped off inside, Ruin stomped along beside the worker until they had made their way into the general enclosure where the other pokemon were kept. Paying no attention to the door that shut behind him, the Tyrunt surveyed his new environs with a predatory, speculative eye, studying the assorted pokemon for those that would be likely candidates for subjugation. His heavy jaws clacked together once in satisfaction as he spotted a particularly burly Geodude, and made a beeline straight for the other rock type.[break] [break]
After having used the Geodude as an impromptu bludgeon to bring the other land-borne pokemon into line, and being satisfied that they now knew who was king of the Daycare, Ruin turned his attention to the pond, and the ruckus that had been going on there throughout his own campaign of domination. Another successful conqueror, judging from the fleeing water-types, and while Ruin had absolutely no interest whatsoever in anything to do with water, he had little else to do, and he was curious.[break] [break]
Stomping over as if he were a fully grown Tyrantrum, and not merely a particularly outsized Tyrunt, the dragon-type approached the edge of the fouled pool and snorted, a rumbling greeting shuddering forth from his broad chest.[break] [break]

As a new pokemon is let into the yard Gretel pays little mind, her sleek form cutting through the pool and threats of poison keeping back a particularly invested Totodile; small shots of gunk in the form of haphazard Sludge Bombs litter one corner of the pool, the wary Totodile eventually giving up to sulk beneath one of the shady trees some distance away. Preening at her successful defense of the water, the Skrelp slowly turns at the sounds of nearby stomping, her ruby eyes narrowing as her attention settles upon the Tyrunt.
[break][break]
Snuffing once in warning, Gretel eventually, slowly, makes her way to the opposite end of the pool to examine her new potential foe. The greeting, however, seems well received, and the little Skrelp dips below the water to resurface a short distance away from Ruin; Gretel leans forwards, her muzzle nearly but not quite tapping against the tip of the Tyrunt's own broad face.
[break][break]
Her curiosity piqued when the dragon-type fails to retreat, Gretel's attention suddenly snaps to the sound of movement behind her. Eyes narrowed dangerously as she spies the Totodile attempting to once more encroach upon her domain, a shrill cry of anger fills the air as the Skrelp spits out a Smokescreen followed by a Dragon Pulse, water spraying everywhere from the force of its impact.
[break][break]
How dare that Totodile!
[break][break]
For its transgressions, the Totodile lies upside-down against the nearby tree, its eyes dizzy with confusion as to what, exactly, just happened. Another glance over her shoulder is spared to ensure that Ruin has not moved, her muzzle twitching with an itch to spray Acid, Gretel reins in her reign of terror as she remembers her trainer's admonishment to Behave. Snuffling instead, she glides back over to the Tyrunt, and, with a little trill, dips her head in a pretty movement of greeting.
[break][break]
She could behave. She could be have so well. A gleam in her ruby eyes, Gretel extends a translucent fin of friendship.

Tyrunts did not balk or cower, no matter what they were faced with - And he, Ruin, was the Tyrunt of Tyrunts, a king among kings, and so he did not flinch when the Skrelp's slender snout came close enough to almost brush his own. He may have blinked, though, but that was because sometimes a pokemon had to blink, and he wasn't about to let his eyes get all dry and irritated for someone else's sake.[break] [break]
Solid and steady as a mountain, albeit on a much smaller scale, Ruin stood patiently where he was and watched the elegant creature - A Skrelp, according to the many lessons his trainer had drilled into him in order to identify threats - whip about to deal with some would-be usurper. Or maybe the Totodile was just a slowe learner, but either way, the appropriate reaction was the same. Absolute domination. He approved of the immediate and thorough dissuading of the water-type's misguided desires, letting out a low, shuddering series of sounds that were, unmistakably, laughter at the Totodile's expense. [break] [break]
When the lissome Skrelp glided back towards him and offered a fin in a gesture of peace, Ruin only regretted that he did not have longer arms. It made such motions more than a little awkward, and so instead of cheapening this momentous ceremony of peace between two worthy tyrants with graceless arm flailing, he lowered his head and tapped his snout against the fin, blowing out a breath of approval. This done, he rose, spying motion from the corner of his eye - A Marill, trying to sneak into the pond behind his ally's back. This would not stand! [break] [break]
With a guttural roar that reverberated around the pleasant pasture with considerably more volume that one might expect from one of his size, Ruin charged, bulldozing his way right into the Marill and knocking it away from the pool, where it law sprawled among the grass, too stunned to move. Seizing it in his jaws, the Tyrunt unhurriedly sauntered back to where the Skrelp Queen awaited, squeezing down on the squeaking, spherical water-type only a little before tossing it to the ground at her...Well, not feet. Fins? Before her. Tossing it down before her. [break] [break]

Gretel visibly preens as Ruin gives a huffed laugh, the compliment taken with grace and aplomb. Yes, she deserved this sort of admiration, as did her companion in turn. All should recognise her beauty, grace, and power. Her expression turns wholly wicked, however, as their pact is sealed with a touching of fin and maw. A diabolical trill sounds from the Skrelp's muzzle, a demented laugh sure to strike terror into the hearts of her enemies. Or at least plankton.
[break][break]
The little Skrelp's laughter is cut short by the roar which rips from Ruin's maw. Now alert, her ruby eyes narrow as the Tyrunt charges, a brief flicker of white-hot anger spiking in her gut - betrayal! But... no? It seems this would prove to be a true alliance after all.
[break][break]
Gretel cocks her head to the side as the would-be usurper is dropped before her; something cracks in her frosty little heart at the offering, the Skrelp's fins puffing up in admiration at the gift. Flitting nearer, the Skrelp settles herself on top of the Marill, making a throne of the conquered orb.
[break][break]
Looking upon Ruin with utmost devotion, Gretel warbles softly at the Tyrunt, her King amongst the rabble of the yard. The sound of the Daycare's backyard door, however, suddenly draws her attention. Interlopers! Thinking fast as a bewildered, "What the hell?" sounds from the Daycare worker, Gretel releases a Smokescreen from her muzzle to obscure the pair.
[break][break]
Danger!
[break][break]
With a frantic look towards Ruin, Gretel nudges his leg for the Tyrunt to follow. If they worked together they could slip past the worker and continue their rampage inside.
