The year had begun with a blast. Literally. Yet, despite the ruins of the night market existing as a constant reminder of this fact, as it always happened, Hoenn and even Slateport City itself slowly healed after New Year’s eve’s tragedy. Unbeknownst to most, horror would soon strike once more, like never seen before, but in the lull that overtook the metropolis during the early summer, all was well at Ranger HQ.
[break][break]
Well… All except for the fact that Hoenn’s notorious tropical heat was merciless on this particular late June day.
[break][break]
The air was heavy and stagnant, and the briny breeze coming from the nearby ocean did little to quell the heat wave. It had been like this for a few days now, and standing right beneath the sun, at the headquarter’s outdoors training facilities, the ranger could do no more than sigh.
[break][break]
Had he been assigned with training new recruits because others couldn’t be bothered with going outside?
[break][break]
Most would see it as an honour, as a sign of being given more responsibilities, but at the time Tam just saw it as something he wanted to get over with quickly because this heat was starting to get to him. Nonchalant and holding onto a cold can of seltzer, he leaned against a slumbering Snorlax – patting its side.
[break][break]
”Okay, so… I’m Tam, I’ll be your instructor for today. Here’s what I want you to do: wake this Snorlax without the help of any pokémon.”
[break][break]
Easy enough, right?
[break][break]
Before stepping away, sky blue eyes fixed on the recruit, his expression calm as ever.
[break][break]
”Any questions?”

THIS COULD BE DAY, I DIE FOR YOU

What do you see before it's over? - Blinding flashes getting closer

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]
Running and jumping his way out the house trying to put his shoes on. A piece of toast in his mouth and determination in his eyes. Noah would bounce his way out waving good bye to his parents and almost falling over with every step he took. He had gone to their house to have breakfast before heading for what would technically count as his first day as a Ranger. He couldn't be late, he wouldn't be late. The sun beaming down as the young Ranger ran at the direction of the beach side where the Ranger Station was situated. Chomping on the buttered up toast like it might have been his last meal.

Unsure if today was one of the hottest days he had felt or that he was starting to overheat from anticipation, exercising or because the sun was actually trying to cook him alive. He was sure that the kitchen at the restaurant wouldn't even be this hot right now. He would keep moving. Won't stop, never stop.

Noah had been told to head directly to the outdoors training facility and that was exactly what he was doing right now. Arriving he would come to a full stop before entering. Taking a death breath and trying to calm himself before facing his future. Taking his first step into the facility. Instantly been met with a small introduction and his assignment for the day. "Oh... Ok. Hi..." Noah fumbled his way into the words like a slow-motion car crash. "Uh sure. I think I can handle that." Weren't Snorlax famously known to be almost invincible to wake up? So yes he did have a question.

"You guys don't happen to have a Poke flute laying around, right?" It might have sounded like a sassy question but he was being fully honest. From the studies, reading and just overall knowledge that was the only thing that could wake up a sleep Snorlax.

Admittedly, as far as introductions to the life of a ranger went, it probably wasn’t the best. Tam wasn’t the sort of peppy, eager, and overly-enthusiastic instructor that some would have expected and that would have likely helped put some of their nerves to rest, but he also wasn’t here to be strict and judge recruits harshly. Perhaps that was the reason why he was chosen to begin with. He was fair, he kept things simple, and he was way too unlikely to lose his cool with anyone.
[break][break]
Even when they asked the kind of question that to some would have sounded cheeky and disrespectful.
[break][break]
”Nope. No flute.” An honest answer for an honest question. No jokes, no mocking, and no justifications.
[break][break]
He stepped away from the Snorlax then, grabbing a foldable chair that had been nearby and beginning to drag it towards the shade that was so generously produced by a large birch tree. While setting it up, a small addition was made:
[break][break]
”You can head in and grab whatever you want, though. Only rule is you can’t have any pokémon help you.”
[break][break]
And, with that, he sat in the shade, the refreshing sound of the can being opened suddenly breaking through the air.

What do you see before it's over? - Blinding flashes getting closer

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]
Had Noah expected that his first day as the Ranger would be doing a trial with the world's most nonchalant and serious person. Luckily Noah had enough self control to not scream out "cool!" at how direct and simple the orders were. At first it had felt a bit rushed but his whole morning had been one rush after the other and now that the nerves were calming down and the nerves were at normal levels Noah could see the authority that was Tam.

Hearing that there was no flute, Noah would curse himself before trying to regain some composure. "Ok ok ok ok... No flute." Putting his hands on his hips and looking at the sleeping snorlax and then back at the sky and then back at the snorlax. Taking two steps to the side and then back again. Putting his hand on his chin as if waiting for a light bulb to appear on the top of his head. "I'm Noah by the way! I didn't introduce myself earlier but yeah... Just Noah is good." The poor boy's brain was still going at 100 miles per minute while trying to catch up with his more relaxed body.

Noah would tap on his pokeballs and quickly stop as soon as Tam spoke up again giving him what felt like the last hint or order depending how he was to look at it. "Does the big fella have a name?" Noah would say turning around and noticing Tam had moved from the last spot he had seen the man in. Quickly scanning the place to find him now sitting on a plastic chair under the blessings of a birch tree.

"Anything? Hmmmmmm..." Noah would say out loud but mostly to himself. The sound of the opening can snapping him back to reality. He really had no idea how to do this. He had no idea what to even expect on the inside of a ranger station. Maybe he could use some confiscated goods? Fireworks maybe? Anything that could make loud sounds. He would definitely not try anything that could potentially harm the pokemon. Time to step into the world of the unknown and improvise, adapt and overcome.

Noah.
[break][break]
The trainee’s name had been spoken back when Tam was told he would be the instructor for the day, but admittedly, the Unovan wasn’t exactly good with names. It had been forgotten until introduced himself once again. Just like those of most other rangers often were as well.
[break][break]
If Noah had known this about Tam, then perhaps his answer when asked if the Snorlax had a name would have come as no surprise:
[break][break]
”Nope. Just Snorlax.”
[break][break]
Tam didn’t usually name his pokémon. In fact, those that had names had them because other people had given them to them. It didn’t speak of lack of care or fondness, but of the fact that he simply didn’t think himself to be creative enough to find something that would properly suit this or that pokémon.
[break][break]
So, yes, his Snorlax was just Snorlax.
[break][break]
”Anything.” He repeated, watching the trainee from beneath the birch tree. The shade was more than welcomed during such a warm day, and so was the chilled drink he held. Soon enough, Noah would probably start regretting standing under the sun.

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]
Just Snorlax huh. Noah would think that was interesting, there were several reasons someone wouldn't name their pokemon but he'd try not to judge someone on any of those reasons, he wasn't here to offend, he was here to impress! But that did ruin one of his initial ideas. He thought that maybe calling out the pokemon's name might trigger it's brain from waking up... Along with other loud noises of course since it was a Snorlax. So that was a small bust even though he could still call out to Snorlax but it was much more likely to fail now, unfortunate circumstances but very understandable.

As Tam would confirm that Noah could use anything in the station he would step in to look for items that could perhaps help him accomplish his goal. Heading straight into the kitchen. His first idea would be just banging pans and pots together but what if this was a big brain play from Tam, what if the superior ranked Ranger already knew that Noah worked at a restaurant and wanted the young Ranger to play to his strengths. Tam also had his own drink with him, could that have been a hint too? Likely not due to the overwhelming heat that was out today. Before touching any of the food noah wanted permission since that was a way more personal thing than just items.

Peeking out from the window Noah would wave towards Tam trying to get his attention. "Does anything also count towards any leftover food and pokemon snacks if I find anything?" Way more likely for him to find pokemon snacks since they took longer to go bad compared to normal food but knowing how people worked he also knew that he might find good leftovers, very common thing in a shared workplace that had a good amount of people working in for long hours, even if the kitchen was just a cafeteria he would be able to whip something up, perhaps even for him and Tam.

"And may I also grab a drink!?" Noah would ask with the biggest smile on his face. It was way to warm even inside a building.

Tam didn’t know that Noah worked at a restaurant. The drink was part of no master plan. It was a hot day and he was thirsty; nothing more than that. A coincidence, no intended hint. But, hey, whatever worked worked, right? In fact, it could be argued that it was important for a ranger to pay attention to their surroundings, be resourceful, and be able to come up with creative solutions to the problems they may encounter. That was like the whole point of this training!
[break][break]
So, yeah, good job there.
[break][break]
Tam may have done no more than just so slightly raise a brow when Noah asked about the leftovers, staring a hole into the poor cadet, but he was in fact paying close attention to his choices and decisions.
[break][break]
”Sure.”
[break][break]
Yes, that was the answer to both questions. Tam was a man of few words.
[break][break]
Once this was said, he turned his attention back to the Snorlax who appeared to be waking up on its own. It began to move ever so slowly… Only to then soundly turn in its sleep and begin loudly snoring. Nope, it was just changing its sleeping position.

THIS COULD BE DAY, I DIE FOR YOU

What do you see before it's over? - Blinding flashes getting closer

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]
Noah's smile slowly faded as Tam stared into his soul, the real stare of a superior officer right there. Maybe Noah should ask Tam to stare the snorlax awake, legend does say that whenever someone wake sup in the middle of the night it is because they feel like they are being watched, creepy but true. Noah would slowly turn around from the window after receiving the permission to mess around with the food and thankfully to grab himself a drink, that being the first thing he would do. Grabbing a water bottle and chugging it like it was the last day of his life.

"What to do? What to doooooo!?" Noah would stare at the open fridge trying to think of something to make, it had to be something with good enough smell to wake up a pokemon, he didn't actually know what Snorlaxes preferred eating so it had to just be general good. The easy choices were to use enough spices to spruce up the food and that was exactly what Noah would have to do, especially after finding some curry. "Perfect!" Thankfully they had all the normal stuff available which made sense since some Rangers probably had no time to cook for themselves at home.

A splash of oil in a pan, the sound of chopping, the sizzling of something in a pan. Noah had chopped up some Figy Berry and thrown in the hot pan with oil in it to bring out the spicy flavor out and to soften the fruit up. As the fruit started acquiring a bit of caramel texture Noah would pour the gravy into the pan to heat it up along of the Figy. The idea of using the Figy was due to it being one of te spicy Berries so it would give the curry which was already heavily seasoned a spicy kick. In a bowl Noah would put some leftover heated rice and then pour the freshly warmed up curry next to it and take it out outside to see the results.

There was more in the kitchen if anyone else would want to try it but this specific bowl was for the slumbering Snorlax. "Wait! HE MOVED!" Noah would scream internally as he realized that the Snorlax had moved in it's sleep. Shaking his head trying to not think too much on the wasted opportunity. "Here goes nothing!" The boy would say waving the bowl of curry in front of Snorlax's face hoping for a positive outcome. All in all if that didn't work him and Tam had food ready for the day.

Tam had never been much for hot food on hot days, much less for spicy hot food in the middle of a damn heat wave. But, admittedly, when stepped out of the kitchen with a freshly-made plate of curry, the scent of it was… enticing. Not like anything about his expression changed, of course, but he thought it all the same.
[break][break]
”You cook?” Noah didn’t seem like the type, but then again, even Tam himself cooked when at home and most people would have never thought him to be the type.
[break][break]
That’s not what mattered here.
[break][break]
What mattered was that the Snorlax did react. That it sniffed the air, opened its mouth, and then while its eyes were still closed, burped as if it were making space for more food in its seemingly bottomless stomach.
[break][break]
”...You might want to leave that there and step back.”
[break][break]
Too little, too late. The Snorlax bit the plate, flipping it and somehow managing not to spill a lot of the content out of its mouth. The curry still got all over its face, but much of it was consumed in one single gulp.

What do you see before it's over? - Blinding flashes getting closer

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]
Noah hadn't exactly thought it trough that he was making hot and spicy food during one of the hottest days of the year, he had been just used to it from being inside the kitchen constantly so seasonal food wasn't exactly a strange concept, ice cream in the winter, soup in the summer. Not like he could stop people from requesting those due to the weather outside. Regardless, maybe they could go get some ice cream at the beach later on something akin to patrol? Who knew, Tam looked like a very serious individual for ice cream.

"Some say I cook way too much actually... My family owns a restaurant in the upper district! You should come by some time, I could always fix a nice Ranger discount for you!" Noah would say with a kind smile, he was sure his parents would understand even though that was not the life they had wanted for Noah. He had guessed Tam had some kind of file on him, maybe the man just had been too busy to go around checking pieces of papers.

Noah would take a few short steps back as the Snorlax started sniffing the air, thanking Arceus for that because what would happen next showed Noah that he could have lost his fingers. He was in shock to say the least, The snorlax had pretty much snatched the food away and fed itself in the blink of an eye, while asleep!? Noah barely knew what had fully happened!

"Uh... Thank you for the warning there! You might had just saved my fingers." Noah would say still having his jaws open in awe. The now messy Snorlax was still asleep and Noah's plan had literally went down a bottomless pit. "I'm guessing that doesn't count, right?" Noah would say taking a few steps back again, laggy brain reaction from the shock most likely. "That was the ace up my sleeve..." He was sure he had to come up with another plan before the sun melted them all away into human puddles.

”Huh… I guess that explains it. I’ll stop by if I’m ever in the area, though I don’t go to the upper district all that often.”
[break][break]
He rarely had a reason to. Most ranger work in Slateport happened in the lower district or by the coast, and generally, upper district jobs were more about people’s lost pokémon or things like those. It was admittedly not the sort of thing Tam was best at dealing with, and yet, ironically enough, in only a year or so he would find himself in a position where he’d have to visit such areas of the city on most days…
[break][break]
Not like he suspected anything about that at this very moment, though.
[break][break]
He was too preoccupied with the recruit and his own Snorlax, because when he had said ’that explains it’, he meant the way the colossal pokémon reached for the plate before even properly waking up. It probably tasted really good. And, it was probably spicy as hell…. as was made clear by the roar that cut through the air within a moment.
[break][break]
”Yeah, yeah. I know.” Tam said, approaching the Snorlax and giving it a few pats in the most nonchalant way. The pokémon stared down at Noah only to then heavily sit back down – awake.
[break][break]
Tam looked at him too, giving his verdict:
[break][break]
”Looks like you passed. Not bad.”

This had technically been Noah's first mission as a full fledged Ranger, he was happy and excited about the small little achievement and first step into what would hopefully be a long career filled with nothing but joy and happiness. Despite this monumental task being a very big surprise to Noah, who had expected something more akin to getting a pokemon out of a tree or cleaning the beach so pokemon don't end up choking on plastic straws. [break][break]

Instead he was met with what felt like a Master Chef challenge and the judge wasn't even Gordon Ramsay, that was the Ranger in charge of watching over Noah. Thankfully everything went perfectly since cooking was Noah's strongest trait, other than his dashing looks of course! "You'd always be welcome for SURE! We might have some trouble accommodating the big boy here but we'll do our best!"[break][break]

Noah would flinch along with the roar from the snorlax, his nerves still on the highest of alerts but everything was over now and he had... Passed! That was one hell of a relief for the young Ranger trying to put his mark upon the world. [break][break]

"Oh thank Arceus!" Noah would take a deep breath, like the world had been lifted from his shoulders. "So do is there anything else? Or do I see you tomorrow again?"[break][break]
