reports of an invasive species reaches his ear, and while normally he'd leave it to the rangers, ariados were a particularly interesting pokemon.

but was it interesting enough to push through all this overgrown vegetation? his LEGS ached, but he pushes on regardless. he'd been lucky to have the foresight to bring his leafeon along; their LEAF BLADE having proven itself invaluable.

something rustles to his right and he places a forefinger over his lips, shushing the eeveelution. peeking over, he spots the strange markings of the spider-pokemon.

then, with surprise on his side, he tosses a ball.

a spinarak or twelve skitter on by her feet, some of their legs brushing against her own. she shivers at the sensation, half repulsed and slightly apologetic.

too many spiders here for her liking but... the trainers of hoenn need to clear them out. well, they should but the ariados are pretty massive and she's not trying to become enemy number one for this swarm of spiders.

in her half assed attempt to clear out a large web, she sees a lonely spider and tosses a pokeball at it to deter it from coming closer.

swarm.

ROCKET had him on yet another errand. Something about locating a specific Pokémon needed for research purposes. An easy enough task at first glance, but decidedly more difficult once Barnaby laid eyes on the location.

It was a dense, foreboding forest along Route 123. He released his FLAREON just in case of any unannounced attacks.

As they pushed through the undergrowth, the thorns and brambles scratched at their legs, in particular pulling on the the FLAREON's dense fur, much to the annoyance of the Flame Pokémon. Worse still, sticky webs coated almost every surface.

"Clear the way." Barnaby instructed, pausing to add, "And try not to burn the whole forest down."

That was a definite possibility when dealing with fire, but he trusted his Pokémon to have enough control over it's abilities to not endanger them in such a way.

eradicating that which is not needed, eliminating the cancerous growth — these are things that all rockets should be skilled in, and jayden is no different. even if this particular task at hand is a little different then the other missions that he's been assigned.

[break][break] glancing quickly down at his phone, he sends a text to Felix Gallagher .

found them. they're here.

if the opportunity arose, perhaps it would be a good opportunity to catch one for one of their labs. after all, he was sure the likes of Lulu Flint and Raphael Pryde would never turn away an additional resource.

[break][break] his chandelure casts flame to the arachnids and their legs with IMPRISON and then INFERNO. as the smell of burning flesh fills the air, he turns sideways. his partner has appeared, and he nods at him in turn.

[break][break] "hey."
