Honestly. Farmland built right next to a volcano sounds like the worst spot to establish a farm, but in truth, when the volcanic rock and ash weathers, it makes insanely fertile soils. Ash can even be a fertilizer. All the movies paint volcanoes to be the end all be all, but in reality, they are insane for agricultural life. "Ya' gotta be shittin' me." He would quip, reading over on his phone. Bongo was reading too, his chimp head tilted to the side. The duo was stumped.

Putting it away, they faced the ranch. Today, Sawyer, accompanied by some ranger (probably a good person) were out to protect this ranch from predators and thieves. It could be worse, but with just Bongo near such a more firey area, meant that the silver-haired boy would probably have to find more unconventional ways to scare away predators.

Easy enough.

The Miltank were chilling in their pens, the Tauros were running about in their herds, and the ponds had their Duckletts quacking quietly, but for whatever reason, Sawyer found himself the target to the herd of Wooloo, rushing into him. The softness of the pillows had the ten or so sheep with a hand over their wool. How precious, and so soft. "How are they so soft... I need this for my pillow." One such, a female Wooloo caught his eye. The black sheep, but not literally. She seemed smaller than the others, as she waddled over.

Bongo was quiet enough today, as he looked down with Sawyer, the duo approaching. "Hey there... how are you?" The little Wooloo looked away, a small red bow by her left ear. So precious.

"Huh... wonder when that ranger is supposed to arrive?"

”Yeah, I know you’re excited."
[break][break]
It’s the understatement of the century.
[break][break]
As Tam walks out of Fallarbor Town and towards the nearby farm, his Yamper runs circles around him as if asking for him to move faster. Still, he doesn’t. Even when Clover occasionally barks and whines, he keeps a calm and steady pace, taking in the scenery and making it to the property exactly at the time he said he would – not a moment too soon and never late.
[break][break]
While the ranger discusses the situation with one of the farmers, his Yamper waits as patiently as her energetic electric type nature will allow. She sits next to him, wagging her short tail and looking up at him expectantly. Eventually, Tam sighs, the slightest of smiles tugging at his lips when he gives a simple command:
[break][break]
”Fine. Go.”
[break][break]
And so, off she goes, soon enough making it to the spot where the Wooloo gather and approaching Ashley Shepard with a ceaselessly wagging tail that seems almost as if she were waving in greeting. The ranger follows after her, still walking calmly and only raising a hand once close enough to the stranger.
[break][break]
”Hey, how’s it going?”
[break][break]
He seems nonchalant, unbothered, but his sky blue eyes scan his surroundings in search for any threats, and on his shoulder, the violet amorphous blob that is a Ditto watches vigilantly as well.

The Wooloo doesn't seem too talkative. There's a pang inside of the silver-haired man that made it hard for him to ignore her. When Sawyer stares more at the cute little sheep, covering his mouth to not show himself to be so captured by a cute fluffball, the sheep closes her eyes, throwing her nose up, mouth curved in a knowing smirk. It was the bow. It had to be the bow. Trainers loved her for her bow, and she knew it.

And then that dog ruins her day, the little Yamper approaching Sawyer, with tail wagging in ceaseless cuteness. His attention was stripped from the sheep, as he got onto a knee, and calmly enough stated "Hey there." Smitten by this second cute entity, the female Wooloo puffs her cheeks out.

HOW. DARE. SHE.

The ranger comes over soon after, the amorphous Ditto upon his shoulder, as Sawyer looks up from the little Yamper. "Oh. Hey, guy. This little pup yours?" He smiles, getting back to his feet. Brushing himself off a little, with push of his shades up the bridge of his nose, he extends a hand out. "Ashley Sawyer. Just call me Sawyer."

Sizing up the Ranger, he seems generally unbothered. He has this chill persona from the getgo that Sawyer could get behind. This guy seems to be both relaxed and prepared at the same time. Respectable. I need this vibe.

Clover suddenly found herself in front of a Grookey, the little chimp hopping off of Sawyer's shoulder, holding out his stick to the little pup. He intended to play fetch while they had a second, as his squeaks propose the idea to the electric doggo. Maybe it was the scenery, their surroundings, or something else entirely, but the chimp was entirely too relaxed.

Rolling into his leg, the female Wooloo hides her face in his pants, leading Sawyer to blink in honest confusion. "Aw... hey there." The red cheeks of the sheep hid away, unable to face Sawyer.

Turning his silver eyes up, he shrugs to Tam. One second she's smug, the next she's shy and hiding her face in his pants leg.

”Tam.” Is the instinctive, monosyllabic introduction made when the stranger calls him “guy”, his name being as simple as Tam likes all things to be in life. When a name is given in return, he nods, but truth be told, half of it is forgotten the moment he’s told to “just call him Sawyer”. Sawyer it is, then. ”Yeah, she’s mine. Good to meet you, Sawyer.”
[break][break]
While the ranger is ever so calm, the Yamper seems to thrive in the attention of the younger Unovan, and she’s filled with excitement when the Grookey jumps off his shoulder and offers her the stick its holding – as is made obvious by the happy yapping with which she responds to the chimp’s squeaking. She loves playing fetch! It’s her favourite game ever!
[break][break]
”Seems like she likes you.” Tam comments then, nodding towards the Wooloo and barely paying Clover’s antics any mind. His work as a ranger has led him to spend quite a lot of time at farms like this one over the years, and Wooloo are a pokémon he’s more than familiar with.
[break][break]
The same can be said about his Ditto, who slides off his shoulder and transforms mid-fall… Into a Wooloo just like the one that clings to Sawyer, except for the goofy smiling expression. It then proceeds to roll around them all.

"Ah. Likewise, Tam." Sawyer rubs the back of his neck. Despite the Wooloo's puffing cheeks due to not being the center of attention, Sawyer's more captivated by this guy's general vibe. While Bongo throws the stick as far as the little chimp's arms can muster, Sawyer might as well get to know the guy.

Unfortunately, before he gets a chance to make a note, Tam notes the Wooloo, and Sawyer's silver spheres had to go down to her. He started giving her affection, using his hands to rub under her chin, under her ears, letting his sweet demeanor come out. "Aren't you such a good girl..." Only for Tam's Ditto to take her form, and begin rolling around. Sawyer's eyes taken away from the Wooloo for a mere moment.

"Looks like you have an excitable one." He couldn't take that smile serious. That Ditto made for a funny sheep, and he couldn't help but to chuckle. As he was sat down, watching Bongo play with Clover, he looked to Tam.

Might as well ask now.

"We're keeping this place safe, huh? Doesn't seem like it needs it that much... you know what comes out here that we need to protect it from?" Sawyer inquires, scanning the place again and again, a bit of paranoia shoving itself in his mind with a thought. "Probably not Rocket." He pauses, realizes what he just said, and corrects himself. "Right?"

He didn't say it like someone who was afraid of them. No, his voice was calm, expressing more familiarity. It was more acknowledging the possibility. And right in front of a Ranger too. He felt the sweat trickle down his face.

When Sawyer calls his Ditto excitable, Tam silently considers it for a short moment. He had never thought of it that way, since to him the Ditto has always been more of a trickster than anything, but maybe the problem is that it does have a little too much energy. Would it be less prone to pulling pranks if he began playing with it for a few hours a day or something? It’s worth the shot, so he makes a mental note on that.
[break][break]
”Hm? Rocket?” He’s caught up thinking of all that when Team Rocket is mentioned, but if there’s anything strange about it, it goes right over the ranger’s head. Being based in Slateport, it’s often that he has to deal with poaching and things of the like, but in those cases Team Rocket members also aren’t the only usual culprits. ”Nah, probably not up here. Maybe in Littleroot or Oldale, but most farm pokémon aren’t valuable enough to make the trip up to Fallarbor worth it.”
[break][break]
He shrugs, and in his tone there isn’t any particular malice or anything of the like. It’s just matter-of-fact.
[break][break]
”Probably wild pokémon, honestly. Route 114 is to the east, that’s full of dark and dragon pokémon, and Route 113 is to the west, full of steel types… Many of those would have no issue with attacking a farm.”
[break][break]
Sorry, little Wooloo, those are just the facts.
[break][break]
It’s why Tam barely takes his gaze off the treeline.

Shit, this guy was the real deal. Not even for a moment was Tam's gaze not on the treeline, even as he spoke. Sawyer finds that reassuring. He even deflates the moment he dismisses Rocket. Until just a minute ago, he had been clinching his gut, feeling like he just outted himself. Not only was it not the case, but Tam even just brushed it off matter-of-factly.

"Guess it's the ranger's job to be on top of things, huh?" Sawyer smiles. So, likely it wasn't poachers but predators. That was something Bongo and him could handle, but the help was appreciated. Dragons, Dark mon, and steel types... all of them would come after Wooloo.

The eyes on the Wooloo right by him widened as she trembles at the thought. Dragon, darkness, and metal, oh my indeed.

To combat this, Ashley gets onto the ground, and begins to look for 'the spot'. It was something he found himself good at. After his little foree with Isaac a bit ago, it was a talent he liked to think he knew well. If he found the spot, the Pokemon would lose all their tension, and if he scratched it, they would melt in happiness! It was like scratching that itch on one's back! He just needed to find it under all this wool.

The hopeful dreams of an aspiring Pokemon groomer. Beautifying the Pokemon, helping them relax, brushing their coats... the works.

"Should we secure the perimeter then? Make sure nothing like a Sneasel is trying to snatch up these Wooloo?" he inquires. Despite his search for the right spot, he preferred safety over comforting this scared little Wooloo. Only...

Ashley couldn't move easy. This Wooloo was truly melting in his grasp. Found it.

”Hm?” Whatever joke may exist in Sawyer’s statement goes right over his head, because yes: Tam is here to do his job, and as such, he will make it a priority above just about everything else.
[break][break]
A nap under the sun would be pretty damn nice right about now, the same could be said about just enjoying the calm atmosphere of the farm, but neither of those things are why help had been requested.
[break][break]
So, Sawyer is right.
[break][break]
”Good thinking, yeah. You can guard the Wooloo here if you want. I can have my pokémon scatter around the area.”
[break][break]
With that said, he whistles, a command meant for both Yamper and Ditto. The former stops mid run and looks at him, returning to his side and forgetting all about the stick. The latter transforms into the Yamper, sitting next to her as if a perfect twin. He also releases a Togekiss that soon circles overhead.
[break][break]
”Keep watch for predators.” Is the only command he gives them, and with that said, the pokémon scatter, true to their ranger training.

Whoa... Ashley watches Tam hard at work, and as his jaw drops, he watches the Yamper and the Ditto listen immediately, the Ditto turning into a Yamper. And a Togekiss! Those were cute, and Ash found his lips curved into a grin, as Tam effortlessly sends them out in a one word order.

"Whoa."

It's kind of like clockwork. He seems lethargic at first, but this guy is the real deal. Kind of the type of person he wishes he could have been. That sad thought enters Ashley's mind, and when he turns his head forward to eye the Wooloo, ruffling the wool, he tastes that dreamed up fake memory.

Bittersweet.

"Yeah. I'll take care of her. Them. All of them. Not just her." He's almost a little taken aback by how nervous he seems to be now. As the silver-haired man grabs at his face, he wipes away the sweat that seems to build upon the brow.

"You got this whole thing on lockdown. Guess this is just a run-of-the-mill kind of day for you, huh?" He asks, feeling bad to be wasting his time on such a basic guard mission. That's all this was, of course.
