The biggest livestock farm in Lavaridge had recently received their flock of Wooloo. They were considered prized possessions and it seemed that the wild Pokemon in the area thought so too - or at least thought they'd be pretty damn delicious.[break][break]

Stormy had been called in to help scare off whatever it was that was hunting the Wooloo, and she was placing her bets on a pack of Lycanroc.[break][break]

Heavy wingbeats churn air underneath them as Stormy and Wadjet hover in the sky. They're a dark blotch in the sky, waiting for the glowing eyes that skulk in the dark crevices. Lavaridge generally had little vegetation, but the craggy terrain was the perfect camouflage for the rock-type wolves.[break][break]

But Wadjet is quicker to the chase, her muscles tensing as a pair of eyes break off of formation, blinking and catching the dragon's attention.[break][break]

"Nice catch, Wadjet. Let's scare these wolves back to where they came from, shall we?"[break][break]

The Lycanroc spring and sprint across the open field, startling the herd of Wooloo into tumbling down the hill. While the coral themselves, one manages to escape the rest of their friends. It bleats in terror as a Lycanroc closes in.[break][break]

But Wadjet is faster. The dragon roars, spittle flying from her maw as she plummets to the ground. Flames spill from her mouth and eat up the ground, and Stormy slides off of her back to intercept the Lycanroc as its teeth bounce off of her KING'S SHIELD.[break][break]

The Aegislash acts as a barrier between her and the Lycanroc, and the Wooloo stands trembling just behind her. Stormy pushes the shield hard against her attacker, causing the Lycanroc to stumble backward.[break][break]

Wadjet settles onto the ground with a thud, roaring once again while the Lycanroc pack regroup.

a personal favor to a friend brings him all the way to lavaridge. he had spent the last few days tracking a particular lycanroc that had somehow managed to run from mauville to lavaridge. much to his surprise, that same lycanroc is now in a pack. he's been told the lycanroc had always been a feisty one, but they never expected it to run away in the manner it did. perhaps it's scared and hungry and just trying to survive in the wild. either way, he spots it attempting to hunt a wooloo; it, along with the rest of its pack as they surround a familiar figure. what are the odds.

"take us down."

salami dips his head down and the rest of his body follows soon after. and just like that, they dive straight down. his clothing and hair ripple against the currents of the wind as his grip around his salamence tightens. his legs lock and with a single tap, he changes their trajectory. the sudden change summons a strong gust of wind that flows through the area, undoubtedly startling the pack of lycanrocs, but more importantly, it creates a distraction.

a sudden burst of white flashes and from up above descends two large figures. the kommo-o lands first and uses the CLANGING of his SCALES to surge through the pack. he targets all but one, and it's that one that imbu tackles to the ground. he wraps his large dragon-arms around the lycanroc and holds it in place. struggle as it might, imbu easily overpowers it with his sheer size.

landing moments after is the venusaur. from the pink flower on her back, gaia spurts forth a potent cloud of SLEEP POWDER that disperses across the entire pack. kommo-o is quick enough with a PROTECT to shield himself from its effects. as they look to calm the aggressive pack, salami lands right next to wadjet, his weight pressing on the ground is enough to cause it to shake.

"stormy."

Stormy stands up straighter, lifting the shield that stands in front of her. Ultimately she is forced to duck behind it as a gust of wind nearly pushes her off her feet. Her knuckles tighten, whiten as she grips the sword and shield Pokemon in either hand. The Aegislash is strong and remains rooted, unfaltering.[break][break]

Dust gets in her face at the Salamence's landing and she coughs, choking.[break][break]

Wadjet rumbles as she sidesteps away from the Salamence, and Stormy hears the familiar voice drop her name. Something in her sinks and she shoulders the shield, avoiding eye-contact. [break][break]

The pack of Lycanroc had scattered, abandoning their intent in favor of not being mauled by a giant dragon. They remain poised and hungry, their eyes wild with desperation. Stormy wonders what drove them to this desolate part of Lavaridge. Or Lavaridge at all, for that matter.[break][break]

Two more Pokemon land and Stormy takes a step back, frustration causing her muscles to tense as Alexander takes control of the situation. Her teeth grind together painfully, resonating in her skull in the form of a self-induced headache. Her grip on the sword tightens and she can feel its hum of power, like a mutual understanding. [break][break]

Wadjet growls, curling her wings against her side as she watches the Kommo-o CLANG his SCALES and drive back the pack. It targets one in particular, capturing it in a rather brutal or forceful manner.[break][break]

She sighs as the entire pack falls asleep, their bodies falling to the ground with soft thuds. Their snores are quiet and Stormy's brow furrows. There were more of them than she had first anticipated. The transport cage she had sent her other Charizard to fetch while she controlled the situation may be too heavy for just two Pokemon to lift.[break][break]

"What are you doing here?"

the situation diffuses as fast as it had started. he looks to his team and offers them a firm nod of gratitude. they had executed the plan close to perfection and avoided any unnecessary violence, and for that he is grateful. but it becomes clear to him that not everyone might share the same sentiment.

"owed a favor to a friend." he gracefully dismounts salami and he makes sure to make his appreciation for the smooth flight known by giving the dragon-type scratches under his chin. salami almost coos as he lets out a soft rumble. "and yourself?" he asks, well aware of the wooloo cowering behind her.

with all of the present lycanrocs sound asleep there isn't much else to be done. the one imbu has wrapped around his arms has stilled enough for imbu to loosen his hold. "i am sorry for crashing in like this. i am sure you had it under control." he offers her a friendly smile before he steps away to approach the kommo-o.

He speaks matter of factly and, while she doesn't detect a lie, she isn't satisfied with the answer. [break][break]

Stormy places her shield at her back before standing up straight, arms crossing over her chest as she regards the man.[break][break]

The dust settles as he dismounts, her eyes follow the motion of his body as he praises his Pokemon and displays affection for his Salamence. Stormy glances at Wadjet briefly but she's beside Alexander and she isn't willing to come closer.[break][break]

Something bumps against her leg and she glances down, hand lowering to bury her fingers in the Wooloo's white fluff. The Pokemon's terrified trembling comes to a halt and the woman looks back at Alexander.[break][break]

"Yes. I did have it under control."[break][break]

Her tone is stiff because she doesn't know how to respond to him. He smiles at her but she can't share the sentiment. The last time she had seen him it hadn't been on good terms, after all.[break][break]

"I was asked to rehabilitate a pack of Lycanroc. They became more aggressive and desperate since the farm brought in the Wooloo."[break][break]

She glances to the sky but doesn't see the familiar shape of her Charizard. She hadn't arrived yet.

his apology is met with a stiff response but he ignores it in favor of checking up on the reason why he was there in the first place. he approaches his kommo-o who has the lycanroc wrapped in his heavy arms. "nice work, imbu." he gives the dragon-type a solid pat on his shoulder before he leans forward to examine the lycanroc. "you can be gentler now." and with that kommo-o lessens his hold and is basically carrying the rock-type in his arms.

"have any ideas why?" she knows the situation better than him, but he's careful not to overstep and involve himself more than he already has. he notices her looking up at the sky but he makes no comment to it. instead, he looks the lycanroc in its eyes, challenging it until it finally concedes. "good boy."

taking a step back, he turns to glance at the rest of the pack that are now asleep on the ground. gaia watches over them from her stationary position. she releases a SWEET SCENT in the air out of pure boredom. it smells of honey, which is a smell alexander immediately recognizes. turning to stormy, he gestures to the pack.

"what do you want me to do with them?"

Stormy remains where she is when he moves aside to check up on the Lycanroc he had captured. She doesn't bother to ask him about why he'd singled out one over the rest - she assumes that must be the 'favor' he had been asked.[break][break]

Instead, she forces herself to not press her teeth against each other, to try and relax the stress that causes her back to tighten. [break][break]

He asks her a question and she looks away and toward the Wooloo who had begun to creep back out of their corral in favour of plucking at the tufts of grass. They seemed to have forgotten about their previous fears.[break][break]

If only she was capable of forgiveness as easily as they were.[break][break]

Stormy licks her lips as she breathes in, opening her mouth to respond - but she hesitates when the Venusaur releases a SWEET SCENT. The smell of honey is comforting and it helps slow the rapid beating of her heart - the anxiety and frustration that had begun to make her difficult.[break][break]

She exhales and watches him as he gestures to the pack.[break][break]

"I have a carrier coming. The plan was to relocate them, somewhere they won't bother the nearby farms. They're hungry - something must be driving them to desperation."[break][break]

There's concern in her tone as she gazes out over the sleeping beasts. She can see their figures are skinny, uncomfortably so. [break][break]

"And, unfortunately, the Wooloo are stupid. They don't know how to protect themselves so they're easy pickings."[break][break]

Her stiff posture relaxes and her hands fall to her sides instead of wrapped tight against her chest.[break][break]

Wadjet rumbles, lifting her head and emitting an affectionate greeting as a shadow looms over them. Stormy ushers the young Wooloo out of the way as Sehkmet lowers a large caged box to the ground. The Charizard puffs smoke at the effort and stretches her wings wide as she settles to the ground.[break][break]

Stormy moves to the Pokemon's side, her hands brushing sweat from her scales as she gives the beast a pat. She's smiling.[break][break]

"That's my girl.. you did great."[break][break]

And then she lets her fingers trail along the dragon's side as she approaches the carrier. She opens the door and glances over her shoulder to the Lycanroc, breathing a sigh.[break][break]

"Since you're still here - I... wouldn't mind help loading them."

he examines the rest of the sleeping lycanroc as she explains. it doesn't take a genius to see how skinny they are compared to the one imbu has in his arms. they're starving. and for some reason they aren't able to hunt in their usual territory. he narrows his eyes, pondering the possibilities but not deciding on one.

"i wouldn't call them stupid. that's just how they are." nature can be cruel at times. so can words, and he cannot help but feel a bit bad for the wooloo behind stormy. but again he's mindful of boundaries and chooses to keep his mouth shut instead.

the air shifts and he looks up to see an approaching charizard with a large caged box in tow. neither of his pokemon seem bothered by sehkmet's appearance, all of them seemingly occupied with their own thing. he turns to look at her when she asks for his help. there's no hesitation when he nods.

he reaches a hand to his belt and pops open a pokeball. a tangrowth appears, her arms outstretched along the ground. "could you please help move them into the cage, tan?" the tangrowth nods with her entire body before stretching out both her arms to form POWER WHIPS that travel along the ground. they pass underneath the sleeping lycanrocs and gently picks them up before moving them into the cage. it doesn't take her long to move all of them.

"where will you be relocating them to?"

Stormy's jaw clenches at his correcting tone, but she holds her tongue and avoids looking at him. Her grip on the cage door tightens until her knuckles turn white, but she eases herself out of the frustration she feels, prying her hand away as if she were stuck. [break][break]

Sehkmet can feel her frustration and cranes her neck to face her, bumping the woman's cheek with her mouth. Stormy gently pushes the attention aside with her palm, turning to watch the Tangrowth make short work of the operation.[break][break]

As soon as the Lycanroc are loaded she closes the door. She checks and double-checks that the locks are secure and the door won't break open, but she still expresses concern in the crease of her eyebrows. They'd likely have to make a few stops along the way to recheck the cage.[break][break]

He had asked her a question but she'd been preoccupied with avoiding him. She had busied her hands with unwrapping the extra tethers and hooks from Sehkmet's neck and fastening the harness to Wadjet as well. She hesitates, however, when she finally notices how exhausted Sehkmet appears to be - despite how willing she is to do whatever her master requires of her.[break][break]

"Back to where they came from, meteor falls and route 114 - near Fallarbor town. I planned on investigating whatever it is that might be driving them out."[break][break]

Stormy catches Alex's gaze briefly, then to his Salamence. She hesitates, chewing her thoughts.[break][break]

"I--" she sounds exasperated and stressed, like it's taking all of her pride to ask him. "I'm sure you had other plans today, but I could use Salami's help in transporting the crate. Sekhmet has flown long enough with it already and I don't want to strain her."

any indications of her frustrations at him flies right over his head. he's normally very perceptive but he doesn't have to be today. he knows how their last interaction ended and it doesn't take a genius to assume things are still not on good terms. the fact that she didn't return his smile is telling enough. he knows this, he just chooses to ignore them because there's nothing he can do. or at least nothing he's willing to do.

"i see." it makes sense to relocate them back to where they came from. in theory. in practice, it's not that simple. he suspects she knows as much since she's going to investigate the root cause of what's driving them away. when she asks him to join her, he's slightly surprised, but the tone in her voice tells him enough.

he recalls his tangrowth and venusaur and approaches his salamence. "you up for it, friend?" he asks and in response he receives a firm nod and a flap of his wings. he smiles, expressing his gratitude with a warm smile. he walks over to imbu next and pulls out two pokeballs. one feels unfamiliar to him and it shows in the way he holds it.

"thanks again, imbu. rest up." he recalls both his kommo-o and the lycanroc into their respective pokeballs. he stows them both away safely and returns to salami.

looking to stormy, he gestures to the harness still around sehkmet. "could you please pass me that?"

Stormy watches as he returns the Kommo-o and Lycanroc, a note of confusion on her face as the Lycanroc goes back into the capsule. The notion that it hadn't been wild never occurred to her, but now that the idea was presented she fumbled with it. It almost made her sad to watch him tear the Pokemon away from the pack. Surely if it had fled and found a family, it hadn't had any intention of going back to human-kind.[break][break]

But she understands that she has no say in the business of Alex or his friend, so she keeps her mouth shut. Instead, she focuses on the Salamence as he flaps his wings and appears eager to help. For this she smiles, her brief window of affection guarded but hopeful.[break][break]

It does, of course, fade as her attention spans back from the Salamence and to Alex as he steps closer to Salami and asks her for the harness. She forces herself to not shy away, to not feel that flutter of discomfort. They used to be friends.[break][break]

But she sucks in a breath and runs her fingers along the Charizard's neck to unlatch the harness from her. As the straps fall away the dragon stretches her wings and shakes herself out, stepping to the side to allow Wadjet to come closer.[break][break]

The leather straps are warm to the touch and they dangle between several of her fingers as she wraps them up a bit. She squeezes them before approaching Alex, hand extended. The metal clinks softly as it dangles in between them.[break][break]

"The strap around the neck is tricky, it always gets stuck on me."[break][break]

She swallows before turning back to Wadjet, who has stepped into Sehkmet's spot and patiently waits to be hooked up. She unravels the extra harness and begins to place it around her, careful of her wings and scales to not pinch. Her fingers are deft and quick as she snaps them together, buckles them into place. [break][break]

But she soon finds herself struggling with the neck strap on Wadjet's harness as well. The clasp is too tight and it gets stuck halfway and on an angle, and she gasps as it refuses to budge.[break][break]

"Damnit."

they used to be more than friends. it's tragic how things changed but he supposes he has no one to blame but himself. these are the consequences of his actions and he simply has to deal with them. and he is. "thanks." it's just difficult at times.

he hesitates for a moment when she holds out the leather straps, almost wincing at the sight of them. but he takes them anyways and without saying another word, he recalls his salamence and replaces him with his flygon. the dragon-type stretches her wings out wide when she materializes and lets out a soft coo.

"i need your help, viphi." the flygon cranes her neck to the side and sees the cage. she nods her head, understanding as she lowers her frame to help her trainer. alexander gives her a loving pet on her neck before he slides the leather straps over. he finds them easier to secure than originally thought.

stormy struggles with hers. there is a brief moment of hesitation, an internal question of, 'should i do this?', before he walks over. "can i help?" he asks, offering his hand should she accept. if she does, he'd take the time to ensure the harness is safely secured on wadjet.

The wound is raw, the gaping hole between them aches whenever she sees him, whenever their fingers brush, whenever she lies awake wondering what happened. It aches now at his short response, a response that she firmly believed and understood that she would have taken differently, viewed differently had their last encounter not gone the way it had. [break][break]

But it still drops a heavy stone in the pit of her stomach that she can't digest. [break][break]

Stormy doesn't say anything, however, because she knows she's better than that, and she knows that she's just hurting. She knows, deep down, that she's probably being unfair to herself and to him but she's stubborn.[break][break]

The leather straps hang from her hand, a brief connection between them. He takes it but she catches the hesitation and she doesn't know what to make of it, especially not when he returns Salami to replace him with another dragon. [break][break]

In the time it takes Alex to fasten the harness to Viphi, Stormy is smoothing the harness over Wadjet. Her fingers fumble over the difficult strap but perhaps it's just her frustration manifesting and prohibiting her from being steady. She gasps her frustration out loud, her cheeks growing red all the way to her ears - a signature move of her agitation.[break][break]

Alex interjects and she freezes, heart pounding. But she relents, taking a deep breath and a step back as she waves for him to help her. He does what she cannot: relax.[break][break]

"Thank you."[break][break]

She says nothing else before she ensures, once again, that the attachments from the Pokemon to the cage are secure before climbing onto Wadjet's back. [break][break]

"Ready?"

he's glad that she accepts his help. he can see the frustration building in her as evident by how red her cheeks get, and though there's nothing he can say to calm her down, a lesson he's learned time and time again, he hopes his actions can. so he takes the harness from her and offers her a smile he knows will not be returned.

with the leather harness in his hands, he approaches her charizard from the side. "it's been a while, hasn't it, wadjet? i hope you've been well." he speaks to the fire-type like he would anyone else. his voice is soft, gentle, and his touch against wadjet's scales is the same. "i had to leave for a little bit to take care of some things, but i'm back now." he reassures the charizard as he finishes tightening the last strap. he gives wadjet one final pat before stepping away.

viphi lowers her body when her trainer approaches which allows him to easily climb onto her back. his legs position themselves comfortably by her side. her body rises slightly as she stretches her wings out wide, fluttering them in an elegant display.

"we're ready."

and with that, viphi brings her wings down for one initial strong push off the ground. the harness buckles under the pressure and the cage soon lifts after. his eyes trail off to look at stormy and it's in that moment that he realizes just how long it's been since they last worked together. remembering words said to him not too long ago, he appreciates this moment.
