It was, without a doubt, the most aggressive creature in the oceanic fish exhibit currently. And even the most experienced professionals available were stumped to find any means to soothe its temper. So they'd been forced to enclose it in a tank that was far too small for it. Only temporarily, of course. If the trainers they had requested from the League could not come to a solution, they would be forced to release it into the wild... where it would almost surely perish, considering it was accustomed to living life in a tank before they'd rescued it.

In one of the museum's private back rooms, the young royal assigned to this endeavor was crouched in front of the tank with a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. Despite looking very professional and capable (at least, according to some of the museum staff), however, he, too, was at a loss. He'd tried to introduce it to his pair of Frillish, Ser Robin and Lady Marian. But it had, of course, scared them into the crop of kelp at the corner of the tank. Their ghostly outlines could scarcely be seen as it continued to search for them with a seemingly perpetual scowl on its face. Its senses were likely dull.

Pulled out of his musings when he heard one of the doors behind him open, Remiel stood up to greet the newcomer as the light from the hallway beyond poured in. He reached up with his pen-holding hand to balance his wooden-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It was a female. And one that he'd seen before on one of the attaché files available to him as an admin of Rocket.

The sounds of nearing footsteps would alert anyone lingering around the oceanic museum's backrooms of someone approaching. A ruby-haired lady with a strange doll Pokemon within the embrace of her arms had been heading down the quiet hallway. This would be the first time that Nova had visited the beautiful aquatic museum. She'd hardly been around Slateport, mostly in part of the lack of money her family had during her childhood. Weekend vacations or outings outside of Western Hoenn were always out of the question. As such, Nova had grown up mostly sheltered and confined to her small hometown of Verdanturf. [break][break]

But now, as if she'd grown a pair of wings, Nova was liberated. The young lady disliked giving any credit to the malicious organization but joining along with Rocket truly had its perks. She had the freedom of traveling wherever she really desired and had the money to fulfill said plans. [break][break]

"Don't you think these tanks are cool, Anto?" Nova softly asked her Mimikyu. It squeaked along in agreement. "Well, we can look at more of the Water-type Pokemon later," She said, her gaze fixating on a door just ahead. Nova had a bit of free time today and opted to volunteer with helping tame an aggressive Barraskewda. She'd been successful in raising a couple of her own Pokemon-- how hard could it be taming a little fish? [break][break]

With a gentle push, the backroom door opened. Light from the hallway surged into the room and revealed a figure of a young man with jet black hair. Nova greeted him back, presuming he must have been here to help out with the aquarium staff's troublemaker. Staring up at him, she flashed the man a friendly smile. "Hi! This is where the Barraskewda is, right?" [break][break]

Nova did not immediately recognize this stranger. She may have worked for Rocket but she only had the importance of a Grunt. Not only that, but she was a relatively new recruit; Nova hadn't any business with the higher-ranking members. [break][break]

Anto the Mimikyu shuffled its way over Nova's body, leaping out of her arms and landing onto the ground. It slowly ambled its way to the man, swirly eyes staring at him. It stopped right in front of him. Anto was curious. [break][break]


"I'm Nova," She greeted, extending out a hand, "It's nice to meet you. I'm not a Pokemon specialist or anything... But I think I might have an idea or two on how to help!"

Remiel nodded when asked whether this was the moody Barraskewda they had been assigned to. "That's correct," He spoke, his voice like a smooth wine as he tucked his pen into the front pocket of his sweater. He regarded the curious little Mimikyu for a moment after it had leapt out of its trainers arms and looked up at him. But he didn't offer it much more attention than that as she introduced herself. Though he recognized her face, recalling the name she'd seen on the file had not come by so easily. So he was certainly thankful for the greeting.

"Remiel Calcifet," He replied, shaking her hand firmly. "It is a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Collins." Oh. Right. Collins, wasn't it? Her first name had been distinct enough that linking it to her last from memory alone had come a little easier than he had expected. Despite the fact that she hadn't spoken it.

Alas, if the red-head had caught that little detail herself, she certainly didn't show it as she continued to speak. Certainly intrigued by her proposition, Remiel turned to face the glowing blue aquarium in front of them again.

"Oh? By all means, feel free to share those ideas. I've cast my Frillish into the tank to ascertain the severity of its behavior. The assignment details certainly underestimated its capacity for rage."

"I'll do my best to be of as much help as I can, sir." [break][break]


The handshake was firm and to the point, giving Nova a vague idea that this man wasn't here for fun and games. Crimson eyes met his own as they would with any person, but they did linger on his person for a few moments. Nova's smile was sweet but hid a more careful and calculating psyche. This was almost a sort of ritual she did when encountering a new face. She took a few moments to read a person. Their expression, voice, and demeanor shed light on a person's identity when their words were space.[break][break]

But Remiel's face was placid and neutral. He introduced himself formally- maybe he was a businessman? Nova had a hard time pulling anything from it. [break][break]

"It is a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss Collins." [break][break]

Perhaps, that should have been the least of her worries at the moment. [break][break]

Her expression remained the same but one of her red brows raised slightly. Collins? She didn't recall telling him her full name. Maybe the Aquarium staff had told him about her before she'd arrived? Whatever. [break][break]

"He must be nippy, then," Nova spoke, turning to the luminescent fish tank where the sharp-toothed fish lay. It might make her idea a little more dangerous for her... But the redhead was still willing to try it. Reaching into her pockets, Nova retrieved a collection of berries. [break][break]

"We had a pond at home with a group of Goldeens. We used berries to lure in the first ones and teach them to play a little nicer. It seems like when you're associated with food, wild Pokemon seem to like you a little more." [break][break]

There was no telling if this would actually work, though. Nova walked up to the tank anyway and her Mimikyu quickly followed along, retaking a place on her shoulder. Nova moved onto her tippy-toes, throwing a few berries over the tank's top to get the Barraskewda's attention. [break][break]

If it swam closer, Nova would continue to drop the berries in a sort of trail. Finally, the girl crushed a few into her left palm, the blue goo from the Oran berries seeping from the cracks in her fingers. slowly, the girl dunked her hand into the water. The juice from the fruits floated off into the water. "I smell just like treats, right? I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to be friends!" She muttered, eyes fixed on the strange fish.

Remiel doubted such a simple tactic could work. After all, the nourishment that the aquarium staff provided was said to be of the highest grade. Regardless, he watched Nova with great interest as she ascended the steps and put her hypothesis into practice. How she managed to keep berries in her pocket, like a small child, without staining her clothes was beyond his imagination. Her explanation soon prompted the black-haired royal to shake his mind off the matter and speak up, however. 

"Hm... but Miss Collins, we're endeavoring to soothe its temperament on a broader scale. That said, this doesn't exactly solve the issue of its danger around other marine life sharing the tank with it. Is there more you wanted to add?"

Unfortunately, just as he had inquired, the Barraskewda locked its vicious eyes onto her hand and propelled itself toward the body part like a torpedo with bared teeth. Quickly locking eyes with the pink Frillish hiding in the artificial kelp forest, Remiel issued a command. "Strength Sap, now!" He spoke, pointing at the rabid fish before the Frillish emerged out from the kelp and used a psychic-like to power to drain the Barraskewda's strength. Suddenly feeling fatigued as orbs of green light exited its body and entered the Frillish nearby, the Barraskewda slowed its approach but continued.

The berry juices and scraps had proven to be ineffective. In fact, assuming Nova had removed her hand from the tank's water, the rabid fish now swiftly turned around to set its sights on one of the two Frillish that Remiel had previously cast inside. The spectacled lad in question sighed. "I had really hoped it wouldn't come to this. But it appears as though we may have to faint it. I don't see any other solution..."

"Damnmit, the thing really is untamed," Nova cursed softly, wiping her dripping hand at the side of her pants after having removed it from the tank. That was too close for comfort. [break][break]

She frowned a bit but knew that Remiel was likely correct. She'd been naive to think that the same tactic that had worked on the mostly mellow aquatic Pokemon back at Verdanturf would work on a Barraskewda. [break][break]

"Then, let's try to do it while causing the least harm we can to it." The girl suggested. While her curious Mimikyu kept at Nova's side, she brought out another Pokeball: one containing her Dragonite. As the shower of the Pokeball's release died down, the figure of scaley beast emerged. "I'll have my buddy paralyze it. Hopefully, that will get it to slow down a bit." [break][break]


Drayco the Dragonite ambled over to the tank and looked down into it. It set its eyes on the aggressive sea creature and then splayed out its palms, releasing a weak jolt of energy at the Barraskewda. Nova was hopeful the Thunder Wave would aid her and Remiel's cause.

As the Barraskewda dove into the small kelp forest at the corner of the tank, Remiel's two Frillish were quick to recede from view, using their Ghost-typing to blend in with the water as best they could. The predator's sense of smell, however, seemed to give it an edge. Even as they silently moved through the kelp, it seemed honed in on the position of the female. And, if it captured her, Remiel was worried that would mark the end for the Frillish.

"Tch... Destiny Bond." He commanded, knowing full well that the Barraskewda had no real perception about what that ability did. But if it attacked Lady Marian, at least the Destiny Bond would ensure that the two pokémon would be rendered unconscious together... before any of them could be killed. A failsafe if there ever was one, and one that Lady Marian managed to guarantee when her eyes glowed purple and she cast the spell.

Unfortunately, that same purple glow let the Barraskewda know exactly where she was. And it didn't hesitate to torpedo towards its target with a vicious snarl.

Remiel would have taken a moment to step back and admire the Dragonite that Nova had summoned if they had been in a less critical moment. Instead, his cobalt eyes were honed in on the aquarium as Lady Marian and the Barraskewda gave chase. Every second it drew closer to her... until, suddenly, the Dragonite's Thunder Wave surged throughout the tank and rendered them all paralyzed. Both the Frillish and the Barraskewda immediately went idle, their bodies floating in the water like helpless astronauts on the moon's surface.

Despite his own pokémon having been caught in the crossfire, the black-haired royal didn't have anything to say about it. Instead, his thoughts lingered on the brief flash the Thunder Wave had produced throughout the water... then on a study he had read about long ago.

He folds an arm across his chest and props the other on top of it as he pensively strokes his chin. When he's ready, he speaks. "Scent and lighting... do you suppose something like that could have any kind of calming effect on its aggression?" Remiel asks.
