MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Mar 18, 2020 1:33:19 GMT

Again the league thought it was a grand idea to stick Adam with some rookie who needed to be showed the ropes. Alright that was fine but this time he was going to have a bit more fun with it. Their first outing would be a mission and a simple one at that.

Some farmer’s sheep were all over the place in a nearby route and they had to wrangle them together and get them home which was easy. Too easy and in fact and Adam didn’t have much intention on actually doing much during this job, that’s what the rookie was for.

”Alright rookie this job should be pretty easy! Get the Mareep and bring them back here. I think there’s about 6 of them or so out there, no biggie for a tough cookie like you, right? I’m going to stay here and watch your progress.” Adam leaned back against a pickup truck, ready to drift off to sleep once the kid got out there and started Mareep wrangling.

”Oh and once you get them back here just throw them in the back of the truck. This is your first test, do good and there’ll be a good reward for you at the end!” He was most certainly, definitely, actually factually, lying to her.

with her Pichu and Togetic in tow, Quinn would walk to the destinated spot with the ranger. she was totally in awe, doing this with a head honcho. she may be a rookie but she was going to try her most damn. with a spring in her step and stars in her eyes, Quinn didn't care if she did all the work.
[break][break]
as Adam leaned against a vehicle, she'd turn to her team. "let's go, gang! Pichu, you and Togetic take the right" she gestured to the stray Pokemon leisurely to said direction. Quinn would take the left and try to box them in. "we'll put them together and lead them back."
[break][break]
"be back in a jiffy, boss!" she called to Adam as they all began to walk away. "you can count on me!" though actions spoke louder than words. the Wooloo and Mareep nearest to the left eyed her warily as she approached. and Quinn, being reckless and hard-headed... she ran at them.
[break][break]
the Pokemon squealed in alarm, dashing to the middle of the route. Pichu and Togetic were still having trouble wrangling due to their sizes. all in all, it just made both groups collide with each other. one Mareep tumbled into Pichu, knocking the baby mouse over.
[break][break]
"oh damn. you okay, Pichu?" she called, rushing to check on him.

Her enthusiasm, instead of making Adam feel bad about taking advantage of her doing all the work, actually made him feel better about this. If she was so eager to get to work and do it all on her own then who was he to get in the way of that?

He’d give a lazy wave as Quinn, along with her Pokémon, headed out to get those rascally sheep Pokémon back to where they belong. Adam was going to catch some well deserved Zs but the sound of Quinn doing a bang up job kept him from dozing off properly.

One eye opened, the man looked over to where he heard the sounds. ”You doing okay out there, rookie?” Seriously, this should be hard at all.

she didn't want to make a bad impression. she didn't want to fail. she didn't want to call out and say maybe a little help would be appreciated. so she kept her laugh light and a grin on her face. "o-oh. Pichu just fell down. we're good" her head of wild blonde hair twisted to look at the ranger before looking back.
[break][break]
a little bruised but otherwise Pichu was doing fine. he got up like a champ, giving her a thumbs up. "use your sparks" Quinn advised him when he took up position again. she'd roll back to the other side. these were farmer Pokemon - they weren't used to combat. but they had to herd them somehow. using attacking moves was best.
[break][break]
Quinn began by blocking her side of sheep Pokemon. Pichu shot sparks from his cheeks to alert the Wooloo and Mareep. Togetic... well, Togetic tried to look intimidating. she beat her tiny wings in the air, puffing her cheeks up. to their credit, a few strayed forward toward the vehicle. eyeing the leisurely paced Pokemon, she sighed.
[break][break]
but Quinn was also good to act. she'd help lift one of them into the van after dashing around the group. another dutifully followed the routine. two down! she shut the door to prevent escape.

”Okay, if you say so.” Adam shrugged, not really caring either way and went back to relaxing but would glance over in her direction every now and then to see what she was up to.

Wrangling the little bastards wasn’t easy with to pipsqueak Pokémon like that and no history or knowledge of doing so. It made growing up on a farm not seem all that bad in hindsight but that didn’t mean he wanted to switch spots with her or anything of the like.

"Ohey look! Just.....let’s see…four more to go!” He'd give a thumbs up for a job well done so far but there were still more of them running around. "I think I saw some of them run off in that direction, deeper in the route." Adam would point in the direction he was talking about.

"so hey" Quinn began, unable to ignore it anymore. after his half-hearted congratulations and continual sitting-on-his-ass, she'd turn to her superior. "are you going to help? I know it's, like, assessing my skills..." she seemed uncertain to even say this but -
[break][break]
if he was going to sit on his butt and collect the reward without working for it - which is what it looked like. "but my Pokemon aren't really tough yet, and there's only so much I can do by myself" she finished lamely, shrugging.
[break][break]
if she ticked him off, he could demote her lower than she already was. "can you watch the ones near the truck? I'll go and find the others" Quinn asked him, beginning to head down the trail and find the lost Wooloo.

Well damn she actually called him out on his bs, granted she did it in a really meek way but nonetheless she called him out and he kind of respected that. But before he could make a response the diligent rookie made her way to get another sheep, what a nice girl.

And now he was feeling a bit bad about taking advantage of her but it was still nice to get paid to do nothing. He looked over to the sheep in the truck and even they were giving him judgmental looks which was fantastic. ”What are you fuzz balls looking at?” Adam rolled his eyes.

Fine, he would go help her out; the sheep would be fine in the truck. Then out of god damn nowhere an Obstagoon appeared and within its arms, it was holding a Wooloo captive. ”Aw fuck.” Adam cursed under his breath, running forward and releasing his Lucario from its capsule.

”Extremespeed! Grab the Wooloo!” The Lucario moved, disappearing in a blink of the eye, flying past Quinn and unleashing a flurry of attacks of the Obstagoon. The Galarian Pokémon didn’t have a chance to react and the onslaught was enough for it to loosen its grip on the Wooloo and for Adam’s Lucario to be able to grab it.

The Obstagoon was furious as the closest thing to it was Quinn so it’d be taking its anger out on her. At least that’s what it planned on doing and even lunged at the girl but was stopped by Adam’s Rillaboom which he had called forth a moment ago, the large grass type holding back the other large Pokémon.

”You okay?” Adam’d ask Quinn, walking up to her. ”Let me take care of this ugly bastard. You and Soul can go back to the truck with the sheep.” He’d crack his knuckles, his view turning to the Obstagoon.

”Gotta thank you for showing up! You really livened things up!”

well, hot damn. he actually did something.
[break][break]
she had little time to react as the Obstagoon appeared, holding the Wooloo hostage. she was about to call her Togetic when Adam released his own Pokemon. the Lucario was quick to snatch the sheep back from the predator, and the ranger ran up to proclaim he'd deal with it now. Quinn shot him a smirk before nodding.
[break][break]
"try not to beat it up too badly" she stated before returning the remaining Wooloo. she was fine, no big deal. it only stared at her before trying to lunge. Quinn could have beaten the ugly beast, yet Adam had decided at the moment to intervene. no big deal either. herding the sheep back to the truck, she'd quickly put it away.
[break][break]
there was no doubt in her mind that the guy could take the predator, but she returned to his side as quickly as possible regardless. he may need help. maybe.
