[S][C/Miyako] Rodeo at the Romping Grounds

Some time after meeting (and watching her tragic injury when she bit off more than she could chew), the Petalburg Captain had invited the officer to her Romping Grounds on the east side of Petalburg Woods, in the foothills of the Rusturf Mountain Range. The secluded, picturesque landscape went on for seemingly miles, surrounded by deciduous trees and grass that was kept short from Shalin's myriad of herbivorous Pokémon. There was even a small lake in the center of her ranch-like home, perfect for water Pokémon large and small to play in.

Curiously enough, nearly every single one of the Pokémon roaming the grounds wore a saddle, and there was even extra gear hanging beneath the foliage of the hollowed-out tree serving as Shalin's proper home. Some of the Pokémon wearing the gear were quite unusual for the task, too; who would think to hop aboard a Salazzle? Or a Seismitoad? Or a Raticate? They were only three of the anomalies present; the girl's Pokémon choices certainly straddles the line between normal and abnormal.

After seeing her entire squad roaming about, perhaps Miyako's mind would be blown as wide open as a Blacephalon.

following the events that transpired at meteor falls, miyako is both hesitant and eager to see what shalin has planned for their next meeting. in fact, she's still a tad bit sore from her broken rib—though it has healed well, it still gives her some pause. when she arrives at the romping grounds, though, she is immediately taken aback by the sheer beauty and vastness of the landscape before her.[break][break]

the rolling hills, lush with emerald green grass, and the towering deciduous trees create a picturesque view that seems to stretch on for miles. in the center of it all, a small lake glimmers in the sunlight, its crystal-clear waters inviting miyako to take a dip.[break][break]

as she takes in her surroundings, miyako can't help but notice the unusual sight of nearly every pokémon roaming the grounds wearing saddles. from the fiery salazzle to the hefty seismitoad, each creature seems to have been outfitted with gear for riding. even the raticate, a pokémon miyako would never have considered suitable for such a task, is sporting a saddle.[break][break]

the whole scene is bizarre, to say the least, and miyako can hardly believe her eyes. she turns to shalin, a look of disbelief etched on her face. "what the hell is all this?" she asks, gesturing to the saddled pokémon. "do you... do you ride all of these?"[break][break]

the thought of shalin hopping onto the back of a salazzle or a raticate is both absurd and impressive, and miyako can't help but let out a small chuckle. "you're something else, you know that?" she says, shaking her head in amazement.

Petalburg Plateau was indeed one of the most bizarre places in Hoenn. The number of Pokémon that seemingly beckoned visitors aboard, let alone how many wildly unusual ones there were, was bound to leave visitors in awe. "Yep!" Shalin chirped back as Serena, a Persian that was also large for her kind, zoomed toward the ranger and officer. Were she to allow it, the cream-colored cat would nuzzle her on her good side and purr, perhaps making 's hair stand on end from how powerful her motor was.

There were even giant insect Pokémon fluttering around, equipped to give trainers a lift into the sky. A Volcarona, Yanmega, Scyther, and even a Shiny Beedrill buzzed overhead, a Frosmoth fluttering behind them. "When I said I was Hoenn's wildest Pokémon rider, I wasn't kidding!" she bragged, her Sygna Suit glowing a faint green in the presence of her Venusaur and Flygon, extending a vine and a wing as to beckon one or both of them aboard.

miyako watches in disbelief as a large, cream-colored persian zooms toward them, its sleek form moving with a grace that belies its size. before miyako can even react, the feline is nuzzling against her good side, its powerful purr making her hair stand on end. she reaches out tentatively to stroke the creature's soft fur, marveling at the strangeness of the situation. being here makes the war seem a distant memory.[break][break]

her attention is quickly drawn away, however, by the sight of giant insect pokémon fluttering overhead, each one equipped with gear for trainers to ride upon. a volcarona, yanmega, scyther, and even a shiny beedrill buzz through the air, their wings creating a gentle breeze that ruffles miyako's hair. she gapes at the sight, her mind struggling to comprehend the reality before her.[break][break]

"you certainly weren't," miyako agrees, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and admiration. "i've never seen anything like this before. it's... it's incredible."[break][break]

she hesitates for a moment, her gaze shifting between the venusaur and the flygon. a thought spurs into her mind.[break][break]

"...the venusaur seems outta place. it isn't particularly fast, is it?"

Understandably, Miyako didn't seem too keen to hop onto any of them. She seemed to still be recovering from Jiwari's thrashing, the Tyranitar also visible in the distance. Shalin gently touched her Flygon's extended wing. "As daring as she is, I don't think you're convincing her to do that without a Sygna Suit, heh," she laughed before walking toward Saria and turning back toward her friend. "Not on foot, but she has... a different way of being speedy." Both of their green glows became slightly brighter as the Captain straddled the giant vine, letting the Venusaur seat her on the end of it!

"Such is the power of a Sygna Suit honed to its peak," Shalin proudly continued, Saria gently waving the extended vine about. "She herself may not be fast, but her Vine Whip... is." As if on cue, the grass-type extended her second, equally long and large vine outward. She would have to share this experience with Miyako when she was completely healed. For now, though, she would need something a little more... gentle. She wasn't certain, though; maybe Miyako was feeling better than she let on!

miyako is silent for a moment as she tries to connect the dots of what shalin is implying. does she mean that she... rides the thing's whip?[break][break]

yeah, that's probably the craziest thing miyako has ever even thought about. a tempting ride, though...[break][break]

alas, the past still aches in the form of a sharp pang sent rippling through her abdomen. even without a broken rib, she doesn't think she can handle riding a venusaur vine.[break][break]

"you mean you ride the vine?" miyako asks, mouth agape. "i can't say i've ever heard of anything like that before. and to think i thought you riding a tyranitar was crazy!"[break][break]

she chuckles softly at shalin's mention of the sygna suit, shaking her head slightly. her eyes incline towards the venusaur's outstretched vine. "it'll be gentler, right?" miyako wonders aloud as she settles atop the outstrecthed vine with a shift of her arms. "not as fast as when you do it, right?"

It was as crazy as Shalin made it sound. She wasn't just anywhere on the Venusaur that was one and a half stories tall. She was on the bulge supporting the cutting edge. The tip wasn't sharp, but it didn't need to be. When the Captain wore her Venusaur Sygna Suit, she herself could rend flesh with the speed the vine flung and flicked her at.

"Yup!" Shalin met Miyako's gaping mouth with the biggest grin she had seen from her. "Without a Sygna Suit, there's pretty strict limits on how fast it can get, though!" Not for the Venusaur, but for the vine's passenger. Saria's Power Whip really stung to be hit by. The pulse powering that action was more than capable of snapping a would-be rider's spine in two without the suit's protection. "Of course! I'll save the finale for when you've had your fill. It's still gonna be fast, though! Hold on tight!"

Once both Shalin and Miyako were aboard, Saria snaked her vines back and forth to let Miyako get used to them. Were she to feel the officer's hold become more confident, the real show would begin. The Venusaur began whirling her vine in a circle, much like a carnival ride but faster. At the bottom of each loop came a flick of each vine's tip. Shalin let out a hoot as she absorbed the jerking motion, wondering how Miyako was handling it. To her, even this relatively light motion might have felt like being lashed around!

miyako struggles to maintain her grip as the venusaur begins to whip her vine back and forth, slowly building up speed. she grits her teeth, fingers clenching around the vine tightly as it moves in erratic, unpredictable patterns. her heart pounds with a mixture of excitement and fear.[break][break]

"holy shit!" miyako yelps as the venusaur begins to whip the vine in circles, each flick sending a jolt through her body. "this is... this is crazy!" she manages to gasp out, her voice trembling with a mix of exhilaration and terror.[break][break]

miyako's breath catches in her throat as the vine reaches the peak of its ascent, only to be flung back down with a vicious snap. the force of the motion rattles her bones, making her feel like a rag doll being tossed around by a hyperactive child. yet, in spite of the discomfort, a small part of her can't help but enjoy the thrill of it all.[break][break]

she turns her head slightly to catch a glimpse of shalin, hooting with joy as she absorbs the jerking motion. "how... how are you not throwing up right now?!" miyako shouts over the wind, her words punctuated by gasps of breath.

The foul language from Miyako's mouth was a sign that each flick of the vine was overwhelming for her. While it wasn't particularly fast at the top of the loop, the bottom was a whole different experience. Gravity and momentum worked together to produce the jerking motion that prompted the mixed emotions. Sensing that she may have been struggling, Saria stopped her rhythmic pivots, the Vine Whip moving more like a swing as it slowed. "That's why the Sygna Suit's needed for her full potential!" Shalin smiled, barely any energy taken out of her.

The Venusaur would drop Miyako off on top of her flower, giving her a good look at that full potential Shalin described. With a mighty swivel and a green glow that grew in brightness, Saria sent a wicked pulse easily Shalin's size down the vine her trainer was sitting on the end of. If Miyako was familiar with the species, she knew that when the pulse reached the end, it was going to make quite a loud noise!

miyako nearly collapses atop the venusaur's flower as the vine slows to a gentle stop, her legs wobbling like jelly from the intense ride. she takes a moment to catch her breath, her heart still hammering against her chest.[break][break]

"i can see why," miyako pants, her voice wavering slightly. "i don't think i'd survive the full experience without one."[break][break]

she watches with a mix of awe and trepidation as shalin and saria prepare to demonstrate the venusaur's full potential. miyako's eyes widen as the vine begins to glow a brilliant green, the energy pulsing along its length like a living entity. she's familiar enough with the species to know what's coming, and braces herself for the inevitable explosion of sound.[break][break]

as the pulse reaches the end of the vine, a deafening crack echoes through the air, causing miyako to flinch involuntarily. she watches in amazement as shalin is launched forward with incredible speed, the vine whipping through the air like a blur. "holy shit..."
