it feels a little odd to have one of his challengers (that beat him) apply to be one of his gym trainers; it still feels odd and it likely will for a while; but he's glad to be working with lam logan.[break][break]

the man is a capable trainer, after all. as he's proven by acquiring the weather badge.[break][break]

"okay man i think i see them up ahead."[break][break]

he sniffs as he gestures down an alleyway.[break][break]

"or at least i smell them, hehe."[break][break]

In his mind, applying for a position as a gym trainer is a natural course of action for someone like him, who as it turns out, enjoys matches for the sport of it.[break][break]

If it’s awkward or strange for CIAN MAHER to have taken him on as a member of the gym staff at Rustboro, Lam doesn’t seem to notice or mind. He’s just happy for the opportunity to practice and allow others the window to improve and learn.[break][break]

Plus, no matter the outcome of their match, it was stylistically one he preferred to rest—which spurred his interest in returning to Rustboro in the first place.[break][break]

Assisting the city is a given, and so it falls to them to take up what the rangers can’t…stanky poison types included. His nose wrinkles in distaste on cue. “You and me both, that’s ripe.”[break][break]

It reminds him of this trubbish his boyfriend has when he sits in the sun too long.[break][break]

“How you wanna tackle this?

"i'm no ranger but the easiest way, at least that i can see, is to just knock 'em out and move them someplace else."[break][break]

he nods his head.[break][break]

"does that work for you, mister logan?"[break][break]

he puts a little emphasis on mister logan just to make sure it's clear he's jesting about it.[break][break]

“Makes sense. Can’t say I know any better, so.” Even if the idea of bundling up wild poison types sounds about as unappealing as giving his boltund a tomato bath after she messed with Ikarus Rook’s stunkys had been.[break][break]

Yeah. He’s gonna go home smelling like a stunky today, he’s sure of it.[break][break]

Joke or not, his nose wrinkled at the formality as he let out a scoff of laughter. “Yea, Mister Maher, sir. Sounds good.” He parrots it back at the other, with the extra sir for good measure.[break][break]

Behind him, his xatu waits—silent and patient for the two jokers to get going.[break][break]

“On three, then we surprise ‘em??”

some may be surprised by cian's choice of partner pokemon but those familiar with him would know the true power of his scorbunny.[break][break]

"on three."[break][break]

his scorbunny slinks ahead, taking its mark.[break][break]

[attr="class","star2"]“Technically, the sir is professionally correct.” A snicker follows, because obviously he’s so serious.[break][break]

That scorbunny is mad cute, honestly.[break][break]

Weirdly enough, Lam does sort of get it. Well, maybe not the scorbunny itself, but the underestimation of most lower stage pokemon. Is that not why his shinx and pidove remain small and cute and fuzzy as well?[break][break]

In fact, said shinx remains waiting in his pokeball—no doubt annoyed to be missing the action.[break][break]

Lumia will do just fine, though. Serious as usual, the xatu waits for the cue, and swoops in behind the little scorbunny, dealing PSYCHIC damage to one of the weezing as it fails to notice their arrival.[break][break]

Panic sets it as it releases a startled, noxious BELCH.

[attr="class","cian"]

[attr="class","cianmain"]the BELCH—smelly and avoidable—is easy to deal with. scorbunny ducks underneath the poisonous glob only to run into a spewed POISON GAS that looks to fill up the area.

"remember our training, hopps!"

training they had only done because he was inspired by a movie.

taking a relatively deep breath in; as deep as the POISON GAS allows; scorbunny focuses.

and then it leaps to DOUBLE KICK something.

[attr="class","star2"]He watches as the little scorbunny puts up a strong resistance to smell assailants. It’s impressive, really–and sort of only proves Lam’s own thought that small pokemon can be just as tough as big, heavy-hitters. [break][break]

“Lumi, clean up duty!” The ominously silent bird follows in the scorbunny’s wake, eyes still glowing from her prior PSYCHIC influence.[break][break]

Lumi twists in the air, wide wings flapping to kick up a TAILWIND that pushes out the dense layer of POISON GAS. Slowly, it begins to dissipate–revealing what it was that Hopps landed a kick on. [break][break]

The xatu continues to sweep the area to channel the breeze drummed up by her wings in an effort to make the space more tolerable before they can gather up the culprits.[break][break]

[attr="class","cianmain"]"i think that's it."

when the POISON GAS clears to reveal scorbunny standing over a fallen weezing, the rest of them float down to the ground in surrender.

"well done, good sir."

he gives lam a pat on the back before approaching.

"now let's round 'em up! hands in the air, punks."

[attr="class","star2"] The collaborative effort earns a thumbs up from Lam as he lifts his shirt collar to cover his nose as the stench is pushed away in large gusts from the xatu’s wings.[break][break]

“You too, my guy.” He grins, then follows to help with transportation. “Though I think Hopps did most of the heavy lifting.”[break][break]

He reaches down to pat the little scorbunny on the head before moving to roll one of the koffing among the group.[break][break]

Even Lumi seems to agree with the sentiment as she drifts down to the ground to watch for any lingering clouds of gas.[break][break]

Snorting at Cian’s joke as the weezing and koffing chatter in defeat, he continues to roll away their first delinquent captive.
