An awful lot of action, huh? That certainly wasn’t a problem for Chris. His chosen field did not lend itself to too much action. And even then, he only joined relatively recently, all things considered. It made a lot of sense for him to not be quite as involved as one of the head rangers. Hence, he waved the other a temporary goodbye before making his way towards his next destination.



That was the kind of duty he was usually given, after all. It was meaningful and of import, but also kind of relaxing at the same time. It did beat trying to force through a code before a deadline at least. And yet, this achieved something tangible. Once he handed off the egg to the forester – who informed him about the Scyther idea being spot on – he had contributed to a change of sorts in that man’s life. Pokemon often stayed with you for years on end, after all. Even if some of them just ended up transferred and rarely used.



They were still family nonetheless. Well, mostly. The Boltund her was riding now, while obedient, was not his. And he did not feel as much a connection to it as he did to his own, who was still trying their best to keep up.

That was probably somewhat useful training, at least. Smiling somewhat at that display, he headed off towards the other spot on his route. Whoever distributed the eggs to them had probably planned for this exact scenario, after all.

As fate would have it, Josh's last destination on the split route was Verdanturf Leather and Saddle, a business his Gym was partnered with. The manager there was surprised to see it was one of his biggest customers making the delivery! Recognizing several of the eggs from having raised those Pokémon himself, he was a little jealous on the inside to see that one of them was a Mudbray. Out of all the ride Pokémon he had at his Gym, he didn't have one of those. Ironic, given the ground-type was one of the most basic ride Pokémon around, and would be ideal for beginners.

Collecting a signature for proof of delivery, the young man would meet up at the agreed rendezvous point after they had finished their individual routes. "That's everything I was assigned - you have any more?" he asked, the Thievul getting antsy to run. Josh had promised Milo a run across 117 after they were done!

Ah, there the head ranger was. Chris could tell that his own assigned duties had been shorter, just from having had taken a gander at the other’s haul. He’d had more eggs on him at least. That probably meant more clients, too. Though, of course, that was never guaranteed anyway. But rule of thumb still was that what looked like a lot of work oftentimes was exactly that. No foul for thinking that way at least.



Well, in his opinion, for whatever that was. “There is one more egg on the list. Judging by the colour and destination, it probably is a Chansey.” Not that he even needed to make a guess, as educated as it may have been. Yet, he felt compelled to. Not necessarily to impress a higher-up. But more because he wanted to try. “That is the Pokemon Centre inside the city, of course.” They probably did not have any extra facilities here inside the busier areas, so it made sense to requisition leftover eggs from the outskirts like that. Well, at least he assumed as much again.

It was a lot more work, yes, but Josh's Pokémon were efficient at getting that work done. After all, riding a Pokémon was a much faster way to travel than on foot. Having been used to it by virtue of his racing career, implementing that into Mauville Gym, he could travel like this for hours with only minimal rest, provided he kept a belt full of fresh Pokémon.

Josh smiled when he heard their last destination on the route. "That's convenient; I can call Mauville Gym to digitize a fresh Pokémon to get back to the city with. Milo's getting tired," he remarked, noticing the Thievul's gait was nowhere near as steady as it once was. Having ridden dozens of Pokémon before, he had long since picked up on the signs of them running out of energy. Were Christopher to pay attention, he might notice Crash starting to tire, though not as much as the Thievul was.

Having made their final delivery, Josh would let Christopher dismount before recalling his tired Pokémon. "Great work," he complimented, giving the man a pat on the shoulder if he allowed it. "Are you headed in Mauville's direction? If you are, I can at least take you there. If not, I think this is where we part ways. Great meeting you; I'd love for our paths to cross again."

Frankly, he could not tell about his own ride’s fatigue the way this man could. But that was only natural. He had little experience in that regard. Even the ride Pokemon they’d had were only used for short bursts of time by the guests and otherwise simply roamed about as they wished. Moving great distances without a break had never been the point of it all, so that simply did not come up.



Plus, this man knew his own Pokemon well enough to pick up on subtle differences like that. Chris could not help to do that all. It had gotten a bit slower on average, but that could have had any number of reasons. He was not one to jump at conclusions in these kinds of regards. Especially not when it was not a do or die kind of situation. It was best to simply go with the flow the river of time took in that regard. “Well, I didn’t quite do as much,” he honestly noted while being patted, feeling like that was a bit much praise. If anything, the other’s Pokemon had done more.

But he also knew not to fight these sorts of things and instead left it at that. “But yes, Mauville is the general direction. I have somewhere else to be before going back to the city proper, but that is only about halfway there from here, I reckon.”
