.:it hurts, doesn't it?:.
 Inaya was enjoying the fresh air and sunshine of Hoenn. It wasnt't something she took note of often back home, but today, in her new region, she wasn't going to take it for granted. She had ordered a takeout sandwich for her and Lalu, her Espeon, to share on an impromptu picnic on Route 112, and the two were going to make the most of the day.

Her beloved Lalu was lounging in a tuft of grass while Inaya sat next to him, reading a book on scapulimancy. Her bag was laid next to her, and she had half of her sandwich resting on her thigh. Lalu had eaten his portion, and he was busy primping himself after the satisfying meal.

Resting her book in her lap, she remarked, "Hey, wouldn't it just suck if someone came by?" Lalu replied with his charming call, and Inaya smirked. "But that's why I chose Route 116-- most people are cowards and don't want to go through Rusturf Tunnel, so it should be pretty deserted. We should be fiiine!"

She picked up her book once more, and Lalu resumed grooming.

Unfortunately for Inaya, someone was coming by. It was a boisterous female, her loud whoop one of the few things audible over the piercing noise of churning Beedrill wings. Were she to turn her head in that direction, she would witness what could have been a terrifying sight. It was a blue-eyed Beedrill, its green exoskeleton quite the rarity among Pokémon of its kind.

The fierce, insectile predator's size was also incredible; if Inaya had been in a Space-Time Distortion before, she may have known of the incredibly large Pokémon that at times appeared within them. While Pokémon captured within could not maintain their Alpha status outside the Distortion, they did maintain their size on the very edge of what was genetically plausible for the species. The Beedrill headed toward her at an angle also looked oddly shaped. As it got closer... was that a girl riding on its back?

"LOOK OUT!" Shalin cried toward the purple-haired female, a wild, angry-looking Granbull looking to rob Inaya of her lunch stalking her and her picnic. "Queen Zing, POISON JAB!" Outstretching both her foreleg stings, the Shiny Beedrill zipped toward the fairy-type. The Granbull's attempt to evade was unsuccessful, though it did get a whoop out of Shalin, her mount making a whiplash-inducing swerve to spear the lavender Pokémon and send it scurrying away. "You okay?!" Shalin shouted, landing her enormous insect near Inaya as Lathiel, her Type: Null, gave chase to the fleeing wild.

.:it hurts, doesn't it?:.
 She heard the loud droning noise long before she had seen its source. It was irritating--the incessant buzzing--and it was distracting her from reading. Inaya wished to ignore it, and she certainly tried, but it grew louder and louder with each passing moment. Inaya looked at Lalu, and he seemed to be in the same state of mind; his ears twitched angrily, and he had stopped grooming. Absolutely not. This isn't gonna fly, nuh uh.

Inaya, tilting her head to listen, figured that it was likely a wild bug-type pokemon making all of the racket, as they were wont to do. Inaya knew that if it was a bug-type pokemon, she might have trouble dealing with it, given her psychic-type team. Deciding that the quickest way to get back to their peace and quiet with the smallest amount of effort would be to scare it off without getting up. She drew in a large breath, preparing to scream. That, she wagered, would rid the area of any pesky wild pokemon that otherwise might ruin her day. She felt smug, her lungs full of air.

"For the love of--," she began to shout, but all of her breath left her instantly. A massive shiny beedrill was barreling straight at her. Not only that, there was a person riding the beedrill?!

The next few seconds found Inaya and Lalu diving into the grass to avoid the careening beedrill.

"Were you trying to kill me?!" she screamed from the tall grass, her headpiece askew. As she rose, her eyes burning with fire, she saw the green-haired trainer's Type: Null going after a Granbull; only then did Inaya become aware of the Granbull that had been sneaking up on her. She felt cross with herself for not having noticed it before, for having to be rescued, and she directed the anger at the beedrill rider.

 She brushed off her clothes. "No thanks to you," she spat in reply. If the trainer had been expecting thanks, she never was going to get it.

As she set her hair ornament back into place, Lalu poked his face around Inaya's legs. He looked at the newcomers curiously, and Inaya noticed.

"Why are you riding that thing out here, anyway? No, hell, why are you riding it at all?" she asked, disdain dripping from her words. Inaya couldn't deny it; she was interested in this very large and very unusual beedrill, but she wasn't going to give the trainer the satisfaction of knowing that, on top of rescuing her.

"Not at all!" Shalin defensively answered Inaya, taking her earplugs out when she saw Queen Zing's wings had become still. "The wild Pokémon out here can be nasty! Thankfully, I happened to be passing through. As a Verdanturf Ranger, I can't let a wild Pokémon hurt someone in front of me!" By now, Lathiel was out of sight, still chasing the large Fairy-type. Either she was going to come back with one of the Granbull's limbs in her jaw, or she was going to fall in battle. Sliding out of the emerald wasp's saddle, she stumbled a little but managed to stay on her feet. "Hey Queen Zing, can you get Lathiel back here? I don't want her out of my sight." With a nod, the venomous insect's wings roared as she zoomed into the distance.

Shalin was used to getting these kind of snide remarks. After all, she was the self-proclaimed Wildest Rider in Hoenn! She was confident that she had been astride Pokémon no one else in the region had. With almost reckless bravery, there was no limit to what Pokémon she would try to control, as long as it had the right body shape and size for the task. "Because it's really fun!" she chirped back. "Right, Ranger Shalin, wildest Pokémon rider in Hoenn!" At least she didn't completely forget the introduction this time, as awkward as it may have been.

.:it hurts, doesn't it?:.

Inaya rolled her eyes. The bleeding-heart-heroism and ranger-chivalry bullshit front only added to her irritation. She really wanted to tell her to shove off, but her espeon seemed to be telling her not to. Lalu looked at Inaya with gleaming eyes as he wove around her ankles, his fur tickling her bare legs. He seemed really interested in the newcomer. But was he feigning interest, or was it genuine? Either way, his intuition was never wrong, and it wouldn't hurt to find out a little more.

"Fun, huh?" she mocked. "How can riding a bug-type pokemon be fun?" Inaya could think of hundreds, nay, thousands of things that would be more fun than being on the back of a Beedrill. Getting a blistering sunburn was one, and divining for a party of debutante twelve-year-old girls was another. She chewed the inside of her cheek and twirled a lock of purple hair around her index finger. Her eyes narrowed before she said, "Don't tell me you ride pokemon other than your Beedrill, too. And don't tell me there are others who do this insane thing, too." Were the people of Hoenn this stupid, she wondered.

When the Beedrill took off, Inaya clutched her hair ornament as its enormous wings whipped up a breeze. Inaya sighed and looked off into the grass, a bored expression overcoming her face. It seemed they'd be stuck together until that massive Beedrill came back.

"Inaya," she replied.

Shalin's heroism was far from bullshit; it was genuine. She got so much joy out of helping people by using her unique talents. For every person that was terrified of her bug-type ride Pokémon, there were several that showed at the minimum fascination, if not shared in her joy, when she used one of them to ferry people out of the wilderness and back to the safety of a Hoenn municipality. "But it is! It's such a rush!" The feeling of being flung from one direction to another as the giant insect darted back and forth... the feeling of the headwind from the speed the Beedrill could achieve... the feeling of one's skin rippling from the recoil of the wings' vibration... what was not to like?

Her smile grew as Inaya's disbelief did. "Yup, not just her!" As if to prove a point, she would send out a second saddled bug: a Yanmega that zipped back and forth with even more agility than the Beedrill, showing off some before landing. The demonstration caught the attention of a wild Girafarig. As much as she wanted to make yet another so-called "riding capture", she knew better than to do it with a psychic-type Pokémon that could easily levitate her off its back and dump her in the grass.

An empty Poké Ball in hand, she observed the two go back and forth, hoof and TWIN BEAM meeting a deafening BUG BUZZ that interrupted the conversation between Shalin and Inaya. The loud vibration rendered speaking pointless until the battle was over, Shalin ending it by hurling the empty Ball toward the quadrupedal Pokémon. "Exactly, Inaya!" she answered. "Every new Pokémon is a new adventure! Can't wait to see what Blank there is capable of!" She was so confident in her capture that she already came up with a name for the long-necked Pokémon.

Queen Zing had been gone an awfully long time. Unbeknownst to Shalin, Lathiel had taken the Beedrill down in combat. She was beginning to get worried, but the green insect was tough. She would come back if there was a problem she could not handle.
