114 for @open

Locke adjusted the blankets tucked inside the cart while avoiding Chiro-Chiro's sharp warning pecks. The Talonflame and his Flame Body would keep the eggs safe and warm for the trip, just like every year, but getting them away from him once they reached their destination…

Well, they'd figure it out when they got there.

Doro-Doro stomped at the ground impatiently from where she was strapped to the front of the wagon. "Right, right, we'll get moving soon!" Locke chided the Mudsdale. "Just waiting for the extra escort we were promised…" Petalburg Woods could be particularly dangerous during the mating season, and he was a poor enough battler without the distraction of such fragile cargo.

Oh, Arceus have mercy he needed the money.

So here he was, literally picking up any and every single thing that paid well—at least, well enough for him not to be living like an urchin out on the streets.

Thank fuck he’d managed to find someone who needed a companion while delivering some ‘cargo’, and so he came in for a landing seated on the shoulder of his Golurk, Alfons.

“Are you the guy who needed a companion for the delivery?” he called from his perch.

155 for Arashi Akiyama

Chiro-Chiro's Flame Body must've been working double-time today, because no sooner than Locke finished rearranging the nest the eggs inside started to shake. For a split second, it seemed as though he would have to corral a small swarm of baby Pokémon along the trip, a thought so exhausting he half-considered just walking back and telling the client to pay someone else to do it.

Until they realized it wasn't the eggs but the ground itself that was shaking; a slow but steady one-two that grew closer and closer, as a colossal shadow began to stretch over the cart. At last Locke worked up the courage to crane their neck back and look at the gargantuan creature descending them.

They thanked every holy being in existence that the Golurk was tamed.

"Um, y-yes? Yes." Locke picked their jaw up and regained their bearings; recognition replacing the shock. "Wait. Aren't you that kid from the museum?"

At the mention of ‘kid’, he felt a vein momentarily go off in the back of his head.

But there was something that was part of his ‘New Year’s Resolutions’, and that was to rein in his temper when someone made a pass at him because of his size—well, see how that was going so far.

As the Golurk then shifted from ‘fly’ to ‘idle’ mode, he then found himself sliding down from the shoulder, coming to an abrupt landing on the outstretched hand that was gently touching the ground.

“Hey—yeah, that’s me. I mean, nobody ain’t dumb enough to miss my Golurk,” he remarked as he gave the automaton Pokémon a knock, before the Golurk shifted into ‘sit’ mode without so much as a single noise.

“So where’re you headed? With all those eggs?” he continued as he gestured in what he thought was an angry Talonfmale’s direction, hovering protectively (more like obsessively, but he wasn’t too sure) over what he guessed were the eggs that had to be brought from Point A to Point B.

90 for Arashi Akiyama

"Er-Right!" Locke turned their attention back to the cart, giving Chiro-Chiro a reassuring stroke on the back. The Talonflame didn't take his eyes off the Golurk, but did shuffle closer to the eggs. "We're not going far, just out the other side to Petalburg. The tricky part is keeping wild Pokémon away from the cart."

He gave the goliath another onceover. "Though I'm pretty sure that won't be a problem anymore."

Doro-Doro stamped her hoof again, and Locke finally walked over and heaved himself up onto the Mudsdale's back. "Ready?"

At the other’s mention of any wild Pokémon approaching, or rather being deterred from approaching, he cracked a grin.

“Yeah, Al here ain’t gonna attack anything on sight—not unless I explicitly ask him to,” he remarked as the golem shifted once again from ‘sit’ to ‘stand’ mode, ready to take up the rearguard (and keep an eye out for any approaching wild Pokémon) while Arashi would be walking alongside the cart down on the ground.

“Hopefully it’s just a quiet trip through the forest… nothing like that insanity at the Museum, don’t you think?” he added with a bit of a knowing smirk.

“Lead the way.”

140 for Arashi Akiyama

"Honestly, in Hoenn? Ya never know," Locke sighed, thankful they at least didn't have to shout up at the boy for conversation. There was none of the usual apprehension that came before some hidden danger was sprung upon them though, which the courier took as a good sign for the hike ahead.

With flick of the reigns Doro-Doro was set forward, and the party entered the woods proper. The path they took was long and winding, popular with trainers looking to expand their teams before challenging the nearby gym. Predictably, however, what few Pokémon did poke their heads out quickly disappeared at the sight of massive golem stomping through the trees.

Locke took an occasional glance back at the cart to count the eggs, trusting Arashi to keep an eye out for danger while he was distracted on both sides.

“Oh, yeah… fair, point taken,” he continued with a shrug, realizing just how—just how crazy shit had been in Hoenn.

As compared to Johto, where all the worst they had to worry about was a burnt-down tower and the Whirl Islands… well, this place was apparently a complete hot bed for strange shit happening at every single turn.

Just like that danged tree that had taken root in Sootopolis, of all things. Literally casting the entire city beneath in shadow… t’was a shame, really, because the city had the nicest views of the night sky undisturbed.

“Nope, nothin’ over back,” he called out as he looked over at his Golurk, grinning as the sheer size of the automaton Pokémon helped keep the threats away.

"All clear up ahead too! Maybe I oughtta look into getting one of those myself," he joked.

Not that Locke had half the other boy's confidence in controlling the giant. He'd probably get squished trying to train something like that.

"Have you eaten yet, by the way? they called back. Lunchtime was fast approaching, and would likely arrive to the city at the same time they did. "There's a vendor in Petalburg I know that sells good kebabs for cheap if we wanna spend some of our earnings after this!"

At the mention of that, his ears perked up.

“Hey, like—if you actually do, let me know? I can help you with Golett care!” he replied, turning his head to face the other so fast he thought he heard something crick in his neck.

No matter.

They were getting really close to where they had to make the delivery, anyway!

“Ooh, kebabs?” he continued as he licked his lips. “Show me where that is, I know just the place for us to get some milk tea. Or shakes if milk tea isn’t your thing.”

Come to think of it, now he was getting hungry and a rumbling noise cut through the silence… oops!

"I'd appreciate it!" It wasn't often they got help training their Pokémon. Maybe it would listen better than the others then...

"Milk tea sounds great!" he agreed. "Some Matcha sounds really good right now..."

Nothing better to beat the heat than something sweet and some company!
