[M][C/Airi] It's a Sauna Out There!

An excessive heat warning had been issued for Mauville City, overloading the power grid and causing all kinds of chaos. Pokémon Centers, hospitals, and other public buildings quickly filled with people and Pokémon trying to beat the heat. It was so hot that Mauville Square had been temporarily closed to the public, the skyscraper-surrounded city center serving as a natural heat trap. It was hot enough that people were using their vehicle roofs as heat sources for cooking.

Not only was it hot, but it was also humid.

Josh had closed Mauville Gym for the duration of the heat wave; it was simply too hazardous for not only challengers, but his own employees. Mastema had been working hard treating Pokémon with his Life Dew to stave off heat stroke. On top of that, the air conditioning had to be run almost constantly. Cost was a huge concern, but those pumps running constantly was also a maintenance disaster waiting to happen.

It was a good day to be at the beach surrounding Mauville Bay. Josh wouldn't be on its hot sands, though. He would be seated astride one of his water Pokémon. With approval from his doctor to ride aquatic Pokémon, he couldn't get seated on his Lanturn's back fast enough. The electric-type fish floated on the water's surface, submerging Josh from time to time to help him stay cool in the awful weather.

it's a sauna out there










So far, Airi has been enjoying her mini vacation in Mauville City. The heat wave is a bit challenging to deal with at times, but she is still determined to make the best out of her trip. Since she could not do any shopping today due to a lot of the shops being closed down for the day, she figured it would be a great time to visit to beach. There are a lot of fun activities on the beach that will stop her from being bored out of her mind and the cool, refreshing water will help her to stay cool in the process. A win-win situation for her!


[break][break]

After changing into her stylish Zebstrika-printed bikini that compliments her hourglass-shaped figure, Airi makes her way through the crowd of energetic children and sunbathing adults in order to make it to the peaceful azure water. Standing at the shore, she takes out a single Poke Ball, then releases her Swampert, Bean, the massive water-types eyes immediately light up with excitement as he took in the sight of the huge ocean. "I figured you would this. Let's go have some fun, okay?" She smiles at Bean. The Swampert nods his head before lifting up his trainer, then placing her on his back before he starts to wade through the water until he is deep enough to start swimming in it.


[break][break]

"The water feels amazing, doesn't it?" She asks Bean, beaming down at him. A cheerful cry escapes from his mouth as he continues to swim a little further into the ocean. Airi's keen azure eyes carefully scanning her surroundings for any captivating water-types, who may be swimming or splashing about in the water on this beautiful, yet toasty day. However, it is not a Wild Pokémon that Airi and Bean finds themselves encountering, but a familiar face. "Josh! Hi!" She calls out to the Gym Leader, giving him a friendly wave as Bean swims towards him and his Pokémon.

Josh barely heard a familiar voice over the waves. Reining Illumina toward its source, he spotted alight a Swampert, the two enjoying themselves as they followed him into deeper water, away from the younger trainers wading in the shallows. "Airi!" Josh waved back. "Didn't expect to run into you out here!" The Lanturn's light flashed a few times, though it wasn't as bright as it would be otherwise, what with the light of the cloudless sky masking it. "This is about the only thing you can do outside," he idly remarked as Illumina floated toward the Swampert, treading water lazily. "It's forecast to be so hot that I closed the Gym down for the next few days. It's supposed to be in the 40s for the rest of the week." That was in the mid-100s for those who used the Unovan temperature scale. The air wasn't exactly dry, either. It truly was a sauna out there.

"Sick ride you've got there," Josh complimented. "And it's impressive that you ride bareback, too. My thighs aren't strong enough to do that." They were plenty strong; he could if he wanted to, but he would rather conserve their strength for going fast.

Airi giggles at Josh's words as her Swampert swims closer to them. "I know right! I can't believe that we keep bumping into each other! She flashes him and his Pokémon a smile. She is used to Lanturn's light. However, she has never seen one this size before in her life. "Yeah, the heat is pretty extreme today! This is my last week in the city, so I figured that I might as well check out the beach scene here," she adds with another sweet smile hugging against the corners of her lips. "Hey. I can't help, but to notice that your Lanturn seems a little bit different from the ones that I am used to seeing in Hoenn. This one looks a bit bigger," she points out. Her Swampert also becoming slightly intrigued by the other water-type.


[break][break]

"Oh, thanks." She then blushes a bit at his next words. "Funny story, I kind of forgot it back home. I did not think to bring it with me," she admits, rubbing the back of her neck. She is a little surprised to see that Josh is able to ride in water with his arm. Alas, it is good to see him enjoying himself in the water and not being stuck inside of his gym.

Josh chuckled back at the coincidences of them running into one another. "At this point, we should probably just exchange contacts. When we're out of the water, of course! Couldn't have my phone getting wet." He did have special comms devices he could requisition through the Rangers in the event of an underwater operation, but they weren't needed here. "You picked a good day to do it; the heat is chasing away a lot of the more casual visitors... and people who can't saddle a water Pokémon."

A sly smile grew on Josh's face as Airi asked him about his Lanturn. "This goes back to... Mauville Gym. I told you the place is a Pokémon racing complex, didn't I? Well, I only really catch Pokémon that I can strap a saddle to. If it's not big enough or strong enough, I won't catch it!" There were, of course, a few exceptions; Amp the Toxtricity helped with Josh's sound setup, and Zaborg the Zeraora was a riding buddy. He was a Shiny thundercat that fought by riding on Josh's other Pokémon. Quite the unique fighting style for such a creature.

"As for her size..." Josh trailed off, bracing himself for a wave in the distance, "How much do you know about Space-Time Distortions?" he asked. They used to be frequent, but had become more scarce of late.

Airi smiles and nods her head in agreement with Josh's suggestion. "Yeah. I agree. It will be a wise decision to exchange numbers once we're out of the water," she tells him. She has always loved making new friends. New friends, who are also qualified to help lend a helping hand during challenging times are extra bonuses. "I suppose it is not too surprising to learn the beach is usually extremely crowded during the hot summer weather," she adds with a half-smile.


[break][break]

"I see." She responds to his answer as she takes a few seconds to reflect on his words. She does recall him making mention of riding Pokémon. Now that she thinks about it... Everything she has managed to bump into him, he seems to always be riding on top of a Pokémon. "You are a huge fan of riding, Pokémon, huh?" She is used to gym leaders focuses on a specific typing more than anything else. However, Josh's decision not to follow that trend is somewhat refreshing.


[break][break]

I have a little bit of knowledge about the, but not enough a lot like. I am always still willing to learn more about them," she admits to him. In her mind, one can never be too old or too wise to learn from others. "Hmm, are you hinting that her massive size is due to the works of the Spece-Time Distortions?" she asks, arching her left eyebrow at him.

It was less the beach being crowded and more the shallows. It was much the same reason that in a more urban area such as Mauville proper, public pools got extremely busy. "If it gets really bad, I'll open up sections aquatic race courses for public swimming on days I've closed the Gym. Some of them do have currents, but the ones that don't... I'm sure Mauville appreciates the chance to cool down. Plus, all the little kids can brag about riding with a Gym Leader!" Sharing his passion with young children brought joy to his heart. To him, there was little that brought greater joy than a high-speed joyride across Hoenn's roads, seas, or skies.

With the size of his collection, plus having spent money on gear for every single one of them, such a passion couldn't be spoken louder. "When it gets cooler, I'll have to take you flying. Have you ever seen what Hoenn looks like from... a mile or more above the surface?" A height that one could get a stellar view of the region, yet not so high up that breathing would be troublesome. As many issues as Josh had with the way the Gym program was run, the freedom to craft a theme without a type was one he approved of. The freedom to test trainers in ways other than battle was what kept him going.

"While there's not a direct correlation between extremely large Pokémon and Space-Time Distortions, they've started showing up in greater numbers since then," Josh clarified, recalling the red-eyed horrors that appeared near the Splashfest stage in Slateport two summers ago. "They're often harder to raise than their smaller counterparts, but they're worth it."

As the duo got farther away from the shore and into more open waters, Josh felt the urge to let loose with his Pokémon. "Ready to go faster, Airi?" he asked, almost trying to goad the younger Ranger into it.

"That is very kind of you, Josh. I am sure that the resides of Mauville City fortunate to have you as Gym Leader," she tells him with a sincere smile. She could almost imagine all of the little children laughing and screaming for joy as all of them participates in the water races. Perhaps, one day she will be able to witness it for herself. Nothing warms her heard more than seeing the young ones enjoying life. Everything is a lot simpler when you are young. Therefore, it is important to treasure those precious moments, before you are forced to grow-up and take on loads of responsibilities for yourself and others.


[break][break]

Airi nods her head. Finally, something that she has experienced before in her life. "I have. I like to go flying on my Dragonite from time to time. Plus, being a Ranger and all, I spend quite a bit of time in the air when I am out patrolling or doing field work," she explains to him. She always enjoys feeling in the wind blowing through her hair.

[break][break]

"Hmm, that is interesting. I will have to check into myself and indulge in a little bit of research when I am not so busy with ranger or nurse business," she replies back to him. She would not mind learning more about the space distortions at some point. [break][break]

She laughs at his question about going faster. "It sounds fun and all, but I really shouldn't push it too much. Especially, since I do not have Bean's saddle," she explains to him. Maybe the next time the two of them will be able to ride faster with Josh. Bean nods his head in agreement with his trainer, not wanting to risk injuring her.

Josh smiled upon being showered with compliments from his acquaintance rapidly growing friend. "I may be the Master of Faster, but I'm also the people's Gym Leader," he added, tooting his own horn just a bit. Perhaps one day, he would host an under-18 racing league at his Gym.

The Champion figured she had before, if she was a Ranger. "Dragonite is a splendid choice of flying mount, if you can handle their Extreme Speed," he mused, remembering the battles he's had with Tiamat, his own Dragonite. "Would love to see what you two are capable of one day."

Josh had first been taken aback by Airi stating she didn't have her Swampert's saddle, taking for granted that he and his Pokémon treated their own saddles like clothing. Such was the quality of the work that went into any products made by Verdanturf Leather and Saddle. They were so comfortable that Josh didn't remove them from his Pokémon except for events that required them, such as sanctioned Pokémon battles. "You're strong to ride your Swampert bareback," Josh complimented. "With such slick skin underwater, I can't even hold onto mine without one." Instead of going faster, the Lanturn dove underwater and resurfaced, giving Josh a brief but cool bath.

Josh has a lot of achievements to be proud of in Airi's opinion. Therefore, she did not mind her new friend self-esteem increasing a bit more. Someday, she also hopes to make some achievements of her own. Outside of becoming a Ranger Nurse, of course.


[break][break]

"Mhm! My Dragonite loves to fly at high speed!" She shared with Josh. She closes her eyes for a few seconds to imagine herself flying high in the sky with her beloved dragon. Her mocha-hued hair dancing in the wind and her adrenaline rushing quite a bit. "May someday," she responds to Josh. She admires his love for riding Pokémon. However, she would be lying, if she told him that she feels that passionate about riding them. She does not mind riding them from time to time. However, she wants her Pokémon to feel free as possible without having to bear the weight of a human mounting them for a long period of time.

[break][break]

"Mhm! It takes a lot of skills and knowledge!" She responded back to Josh's comment. It is not an easy task, but it helps that she is familiar with the physiology of various Pokémon due to her nursing background. "Josh, would you like to grab some ice cream once we're doing having fun in the water?" She asked him, a gentle smile curled against her lips.

[M][C/Airi] It's a Sauna Out There!

Josh smiled upon hearing Airi's Dragonite had a speed bent. "They'd be right at home. I have yet to use Tiamat, my own Dragonite, in a racing challenge. You two could be the first!" He wished he could now, but could not control the aggressive dragon-type to her fullest potential. Extreme Speed was still far too much for his recovering arm to handle. Give it another month, and that might change. For now, he was still limited in how fast he could fly, making his Gym Challenge success rate reach borderline concerning levels.

Josh's smile grew at the idea of ice cream. "Sounds like a great way to stay cool once we're out of the water!" With the wind picking up and blowing hot air all over them, he turned Illumina around so that the wind was at their back. "I'm gonna zip across the water one more time before we head back." With his hands firmly on the reins, Josh sharply squeezed Illumina's sides without issuing a verbal command, though she knew what to do. With a happy cry, the electric fish's tail swished back and forth wildly in a burst of AGILITY that few knew the species was capable of. Both submerged briefly before the Lanturn executed a beautiful porpoise jump, Josh whooping loudly at its peak. He looked like he was having far too much fun!

"Don't worry, I am confident that you will be able to make it happen once you are fully recovered!" Airi tells Josh, hoping that her words of encouragement will be enough to keep him hopeful. If she does plan to challenge Josh in the near future, then she will need to start thinking about which of her Pokémon she will use to participate in the race challege.

"I think so, too! Plus, ice cream is kind of one of my favorite treats!" She giggled a bit. Airi and Bean both watch Josh and his Lanturn zoom around the open seas. His Lanturn's movements reminded her of lightning dancing across the sea for a moment. It was a beautiful sight to behold. After watching their friends for a little while longer, Airi and Bean eventually makes their way back onto the shore. "Thanks for the ride, Bean. Next time I will have to remember to include your saddle," she gives her massive axolotl a gentle pat on his head as she waits for Josh to join them.

After the speedy jump, Josh wheeled Illumina around, letting their momentum carry them backwards before coming to a stop near the shore. He withdrew the Lanturn while still mounted, swimming and wading through the shallows and back to dry land. "Just about any Pokémon can put on a lot of speed with the right work ethic!" the Gym Leader bragged. Hylda, his Glastrier, was a prime example. He had already used her in a racing challenge long ago, and proved to be quite the competitive ice-type.

With the two out of the water, Josh slow to dry off due to the humid conditions, he slipped back into his shoes and let Airi lead him back toward Mauville City. "There's a great ice cream parlor on the east side of town. How about we get out of this awful heat and cool off there? They've got a good variety - thirty-one flavors!"
