With many of the region's VIPs mysteriously missing, Shalin had to pick up the slack, taking on jobs her duties as Rustboro's Captain would not normally encompass. Thankfully for her, this one was both easy and fun: a simple delivery mission that Mauville's Gym Leader would normally have handled. A local Rustboro breeder had asked the Captain to transport a batch of Pokémon eggs to Petalburg City on behalf of a particularly needy client.

Shalin and some of her newest Pokémon were all geared up and ready to go, a towing harness attached to the end of Lady the Boltund's saddle. The Captain herself was astride a Type: Null, with a Luxray wandering near the duo. She was just waiting for the help that had signed up for the job...

cyrus thinks literally anyone else would have been better for this job than he is. he hadn't even really wanted to do it, but it offered pay, and until he could get on his feet, there wasn't much he could do about it. if it hadn't been for the disappearances he had been filled in on (in passing), he wouldn't have had to do this in the first place.
[break][break]
but here he was, hurrying his way to the meeting spot. it's only when he gets close enough that he slows his pace, trying not to seem as rushed as he actually had been. the pokemon beside the help he was hired to go with are given a side-eye, and, before he can think twice about it, a wide berth.
[break][break]
"sorry i'm late." he starts, keeping an eye on the pokemon from the corner of his vision. "there was a delay with the train, so i had to wait." but surely it wasn't that big of an issue, was it? if he had been really late, surely his help would have left by now.
[break][break]
"i'm cyrus. your help."

It was natural for the stranger to fear Shalin's Pokémon, despite the gear they wore implying how well-behaved they were. Lathiel met the side-eye with a noise that sounded halfway between a mew and a bark, the synthesized biological weapon not excited to be around Cyrus. The others seemed to be, Lady wagging her tail incessantly and innocently.

"It's okay!" Shalin assured him. Their journey wouldn't exactly be a short one, having to cross Petalburg Woods to get to Petalburg City at all. "Shalin Nariya. I'm Captain here," she introduced herself. "These three are Lathiel," she gently pat the Type: Null's head, "Lady, and Leo," she named the Boltund and Luxray. "Got a Pokémon that can help out with the deliveries? If you don't, I've got you covered!" For a Ranger higher-up, she was a bit too cheerful.

The larger Pokemon seemed as excited to be around Cyrus as he was to be around it, responding to his glance with…some sort of noise. It takes everything in him not to shudder at the noise- and, as it is, he double checks to make sure there’s more than enough room between them in case the Pokemon decides to suddenly lunge. The other Pokemon seem happy enough, though, even if he doesn’t move to greet them in any way. Or trust them, really.
[break][break]
The ranger he was hired to help was the ranger here? He’d have to keep note of that for the near future- knowing who was where would help him somehow, he’s sure. “It’s nice to meet you.” His attention flicks towards the Pokemon, then, and there’s no lack of hesitation in his voice when he speaks again. “And your Pokemon.”
[break][break]
At the question, he near-freezes. “It, uh-” He stammers, feeling his face flush before he forces the words out. “I don’t really believe in having Pokemon.” It’s a simple enough answer for now, and it means he doesn’t have to get into the specifics of it- that he’s sure Pokemon really hate it, from stories he’s heard from his parents.

What an unusual fellow; Pokémon were so intertwined with daily life that it was unthinkable to not have at least one to help out! As hard as it was to resist the urge to make a comment about it, what with the symbiotic relationship she had with her entire team, Shalin kept her thoughts to herself. "Leo can give you a hand -- er, a paw -- if you need one with the deliveries! It'll be a bit of a long trip across Petalburg Woods and to the city proper. You're more than welcome to hop on him!" The Luxray crouched next to Cyrus, offering him a lift once the egg cartons had been loaded onto the small wagon Lady would be towing.

Regardless of travel arrangements, Shalin and her three Pokémon would get started with their delivery route. "So, what do you do to make ends meet?" she asked Cyrus. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to - just trying to pass the time while we head south!" Even by Pokémon, the trip through Petalburg Woods wouldn't exactly be short...

if shalin sees anything wrong with his not having any pokemon, then she doesn’t say it- and it’d be hard not to notice, from the silence that follows in the aftermath of it. which, he supposes, is fair enough, considering he also hadn’t commented on the fact that she did. when she does speak, it’s to offer him a ride on the back of the luxray, and cyrus, not for the first time, feels like he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.
[break][break]
he doesn’t want to deal with the walk on his own, but even that seems preferable to trusting a pokemon- a stranger’s, at that- with his safety. “uh. no thank you. i’ll be fine walking.” he’ll hate it, but, once he falls into line with shalin and the pokemon, the idea of it seems less bad.
[break][break]
“i was a freelance artist. back home.” he doesn’t want to admit that, with how new his arrival here is, that he’s mostly just taking on odd jobs to make ends meet. but his answer is stilted and awkward, and he forces himself to offer something more so they’re not walking in silence the whole time. “i haven’t been in hoenn long, so mostly i’m just…doing small things while i try to find something more solid.”

Shalin was a little surprised to hear Cyrus decline her offer. Did he realize just how long a trip it was? "Okay then! If your feet ever get tired or sore, offer's still there until we get to Petalburg City!" Shalin reiterated, helping get the rest of their cargo loaded. "Don't get too far ahead, Lathiel," she said to her Type: Null, giving the chimeric Pokémon a gentle pat before lightly tapping at her sides. She responded by walking alongside her guest.

"Freelance artist, huh?" Shalin asked. "That's a tough line of work. Probably tougher here, given how many other kinds of jobs the war's creating."

Before they knew it, the two were outside Rustboro City's limits and into the dense Petalburg Woods, bug-type Pokémon flitting and fluttering about. All of the ones she saw were harmless, but she couldn't be too careful, remembering that her nice Beedrill was the exception, not the rule.

when cyrus had declined the answer, he hadn't expected the ranger to walk alongside him. a part of him felt almost bad about it, considering the walk, but he was not going to get on some pokemon's back. if someone held him at gunpoint and told him to, he'd tell them they'd just have to pull the trigger.
[break][break]
at the comment on his work, cyrus hums, rather non-committally. "i'm sure there's work somewhere. anti-war groups. people trying to ignore everything going on." it was just human nature for some people to bury their heads in the sand- not that he could judge. wasn't that kind of what he was doing, right now?
[break][break]
he finds himself desperate to change the subject of the war, even when they find themselves closer to the outskirts of the forest sooner than he would have expected. and cyrus....hates looking in there, where there are so many wild pokemon. the tame ones were dangerous enough.
[break][break]
still, it'd be too far to turn back now. so he steels himself, mentally wishes he had thought to bring bug spray, and directs a question to shalin to try to take his mind off both getting attacked by wild pokemon and getting pulled into a war he doesn't want to be a part of.
[break][break]
"what do you do? when you're not doing ranger stuff, i mean."

Even with the war, ordinary citizens' lives had to go on. There was always a need for people who worked restaurants, people who worked retail, people who made deliveries, and the like. These were jobs that were needed, war or peace.

Shalin kept the chimeric normal-type at Cyrus' pace as the forest dweller guided him through the woods that no one else in Hoenn may have been more familiar with. The question turned to Shalin's world outside the job.

"Before I became Rustboro's Captain, I was an avid explorer. I would take clients to the ends of Hoenn, to natural wonders that were deemed to dangerous to go to with Rangers. A lot of these places you can't get to on foot or in a vehicle - you gotta take a Pokémon there." She began to describe the stronghold of 's ancestors, the Braviary's nest, to Cyrus as they made their way south with the eggs in tow.

As they passed Petalburg Plateau on their left, they may have been able to hear the distant but loud noise of Beedrill wings churning. "You'll also occasionally find me at Round Ones in Hoenn. I love music games."

despite everything, the walk through the forest wasn't that bad. maybe it was the pokemon that was at cyrus' pace, or maybe the pokemon wanted to bother them about as much as they wanted to be bothered. but, admiteedly, that didn't really sound right.
[break][break]
the tamed- if it could be called that, because cyrus still had his doubts- seemed calm enough, making its way through the woods with the expertise of someone who had done it time and time again. shalin, too, seemed used to it- cyrus was the one that felt like the odd one out, really.
[break][break]
she explained her former job, and the sights she had seen, and it's enough to make him pause. he couldn't imagine going, himself, but they do sound pretty. if you're into that sort of thing- maybe, if things had been different, he could have went to paint them. but the idea seems farfetched with the fact that he can't take any other route.
[break][break]
"do you miss it?" before he says anything else, they pass a plateu, complete with buzzing. very loud buzzing, at that. anything he could think of falters as he keeps an eye out, almost nervously, for any of the bug pokemon that seemed to be much too close for comfort.

"In a way, I do," Shalin replied, reminiscing on her adventures with , , Finn ( ), and many others. While the treasure she was received may not have been worth the price of Kiara's life, she made friends with three Ultra Beasts whose skillsets were invaluable when exploring Ultra Space. "But the League sends me on exploratory missions to Ultra Space somewhat often. Those skills come in handy there."

The loud buzzing, growing more clear and closer by the moment, seemed to make Cyrus worried. "It's okay! I'd recognize that buzz from anywhere. She's my Beedrill, Queen Zing. She wouldn't harm a single person without my orders unless you threatened her life." If Cyrus looked closely enough toward the plateau, he would be able to see a Shiny Beedrill bobbing and weaving among the trees a moderate distance away. Was that a saddle strapped to it? Just how big was this bug anyway?

when she says she does miss it, she doesn't clarify exactly what she missed about it- and cyrus, admittedly, is not about to ask. even traveling like this is stressful enough, so there's nothing that could convince him that surviving on his own could be any better.
[break][break]
especially not when she continues, and what she says is more than enough to make him stop in his tracks, just for a second. "on your own?" even as he asks, he finds that he can't wrap his head around it. "isn't that supposed to be really dangerous?"
[break][break]
speaking of dangerous, the buzzing that had gotten so loud before now seemed overpowering. cyrus thinks that the look on his face- one giving away the fact that he was about to bolt- must be obvious, because shalin is quick to reassure him. a glance at the supposed pokemon in question confirms that it...does seem tame, if the saddle is anything to go by.
[break][break]
not that it helps. the size of the pokemon alone is a new source of concern, just as quickly.
[break][break]
"she won't mistake anything as an attempt to hurt her?" namely, his fear if she got any closer than she already was.

As the two continued onward, the dangers of Ultra Space came up. "With a Sygna Suit and how well-documented the wildlife there is now, it's not too bad at all," the Captain assured Cyrus. "I've been there both without and with one. It really does make a world of difference." It certainly made the toxic atmosphere a lot more breathable.

"You'll be fine!" Shalin reassured Cyrus. It was true; unlike most of the aggressive insect species, Queen Zing loved giving hugs and ferrying her friends around Hoenn. As accurate as the stereotype about Beedrill was, given how dangerous they were in the wild, the Shiny one was just built different. "She really is a sweet one."

The buzzing would eventually subside with distance from Petalburg Woods, the skyline of the large city creeping past the dense woods. "Just about there," the woman exhaled. "They're on the north side of town, so it should only be one or two turns once we're in the city proper."

shalin didn't seem too bothered by the idea of ultra space and the dangers that came with it, but cyrus couldn't help but furrow his brows a bit. it still seemed dangerous, even with things to be expected. the fact that he couldn't think of anything good to come of it both told him that he probably would never step foot there if he could help it and that he wasn't meant to be the exploring type.
[break][break]
which was fine by him. this was as far out in the wilds as he'd like to get, and even that was pushing it.
[break][break]
the beedrill is confirmed to be friendly enough, but words don't do enough to shake cyrus from being nervous about the bug pokemon. as he falls into silence, just for a moment, he tries to remind himself that it's fine- even if shalin hadn't told him anything, he thinks they're far enough away that even the aggressive pokemon won't come towards them. not unless they have to get any closer.
[break][break]
if they do, he'll just leave that to his companion.
[break][break]
as the buzzing subsided and the city came into view, cyrus allowed himself a sigh of relief. sure, there were still pokemon here, but they were mostly under control. and where he didn't have to look at them unless he went out of his way to. "good." once he was done here, he could...collapse, probably. and not think about going near another pokemon for the next week.

It really seemed like Cyrus was just in the delivery trip for the money. Did he just... not like Pokémon? Being afraid of a Beedrill was one thing, but a Pokémon as docile as a Boltund? Yamper and Boltund were very common house pets in both Hoenn and Galar. There was a kind of Pokémon for everyone, as the saying went... and yet, no kind of Pokémon seemed to be for Cyrus.

After two more turns, the breeding center was a block away. Shalin reined Lathiel to a stop, the two electric-types gently easing off their speed, as well. She buzzed at the front entrance, leaving the eggs with an attendant that answered the door. "Anytime!" she returned the attendant's expression of gratitude. Little did they know that the entire building would be reduced to rubble when Rocket came knocking.

"Thanks for the company," Shalin turned around and said to her traveling companion. "See you 'round!"
