Fortee City....

It wasn't a place Sebastian had been to before, prior to present day, yet it was a unique enough town-village that he had at least heard about it. A "city" in the forest, residents who lived in tree-houses, a grand sight beyond mere primitive architecture. However the Rocket-member was not visiting Fortee for some nature walk, he was there on a mission, though to some it was more of a job.

The mission had been sent in, requesting a pair of Pokemon owners whom were versed in Fire-Types, be it their Pokemon or their Pokemon's moves. Sebastian was in luck due to this as he himself owned not one, but two fiery Pokemon, albeit Maladi his Litleo was a Fire and Normal-Type while Dooku his Litten was a pure Fire-Type.

As such Sebastian combed the forest with both Maladi and Dooku at his each of his sides respectively, the three of them walking in sync along the way. They just needed to meet up with their mission partner first, after which they could begin their hunt for Combee honey, though Sebastian was priding himself on acting more like a bodyguard should a "Queen" appear.

Nearly jumping out of his skin as he was caught off guard by another man speaking from seemingly nowhere, though they hadn't been hiding Sebastian hadn't been paying attention either.

Correcting himself within the next two seconds he'd internally shudder before nodding as he spoke in reply.

Yeah, uhh, the honey collecting, sounds so exciting...heh...I don't like wasting time either, but I can't say it'd be a shame if some enemies got in the way, heh, heh.

Rubbing the back of his bare neck Sebastian would shake his head then while looking down with closed eyes, sighing before kicking the grassy ground as he proceeded to follow the scarred man and his huge, gigantic really, Fire-Dogs.

Hot dogs.

The mental thought made Sebastian snick as his gaze lifted to the trio before him, the unit of six moving forward then.

So uh, I guess one of us should act as a distraction while the other one gathers the honey?

I guess we should probably stop by the job poster's place and gather some honeycomb tools or uhhh, whatever they use to collect the stuff, cause I sure didn't bring anything of the sort....

Maverick, huh? Well that's a rad name...And Houndoom is...Azula, Arcanine Evo....Would that be like, I mean as in evolution? Heh, heh, ha ha, ho ho....Punny if so, I like it.

These are my Pokemon, Maladi the Litleo and Dooku the Litten, quite the fiery little couple, though Dooku seems to be more of the lover boy, always chasing after Maladi.

Taking a breath then Sebastian would continue in his reply to Maverick.

My name is Sebastian, but yeah let's go find...Uh, Honeywell, heh, heh, ha ha, ho, ho, so many puns today!

Green roof, aye'? Dere be a blue one...and a green one, tharr she bee matey!!

Heh, heh, ha ha, ho, ho another one!

Laughing at his own pun delivery this time Sebastian would finally come to gather himself, his eyes shifting across the way to the nearby housing as his Pirate-mocking accent faded into memory. Following the larger Fire-Types and their scarred Trainer then Sebastian's own group would once more join the latter, the two separate trios becoming six once more.

Y'know, I didn't mention it before, but I guess it's kind of obvious, but getting stung sorta blows....I didn't really think about it til now...Heh, maybe Combee's isn't so bad though, hmmm, it does look like one of the least intimidating stinger-types I guess there's that.

Well from my experience Dooku, my Litten, is less distrusting as his species usually are, he's actually a big baby and a huge lover. Maladi, my Litten, on the other hand is rather feisty. She's a Princess for sure, but she's also quite energetic. If she's not running around she's wanting up in my face for snuggles.

Rubbing the back of his neck Sebastian would then groan aloud, evidently he was on collecting duty while his partner would do the "guarding". Huffing and puffing his way to Mr. Honeywell's supposed abode the undercover Rocket would knock thrice until he was met by a burly older man. Following him inside Sebastian would be further informed of the job at hand before being given his general collecting supplies and given directions in detail on how he was to harvest properly. On the way out Sebastian was further tasked with retrieving two large buckets as well, though currently empty they were to be used to hold the collected Combee honey while the supplies rested in a bag now strapped to his back.

Meeting back up with his partner Sebastian would merely nod toward the direction they were to head off to.

Well, let's roll out then, Honeywell says the Combee congregate in a woodland thicket just down the way, a sort of farm he's forged by collecting and releasing wild Combee. Says when still wild they produce a more lovely honey, while captured Combee create an entirely different product, kinda cool I guess...heh.

Eventually the group would come upon the path they were to follow which would lead them into the woods which grew thicker and thicker with foliage until they found their target. Loud buzzing filled the air before they even arrived however leading to them being a bit more stealthy on their initial approach as they had to make sure a Queen wasn't nearby.

Then again they had enough fire power that the group had little to nothing to fear.

Guess I should get to it then, daylights' burning and a hive of bees is less frightening than a Lion's Barrage, heh, hehhh....

Sighing before pressing on with Dooku and Maladi close to his ankles Sebastian would proceed to retrieve his honey gathering tools, being somewhat careful enough as to avoid damaging any of the hives while still harvesting what he needed to get the job done. Collecting not only the liquid, he'd also carve out chunks of honeycomb as well and soon enough the Rocketeer had filled the first bucket to nearly the brim, capping it off with it's air tight seal and slapping it for confirmation before moving on with the second bucket.

Oh joy.

" Are you almost done, kid?! "

Was he being rushed?

Bantha.

Sighing just before Maverick then noted that they might have some trouble brewing Sebastian would begin to let his gaze drift about while his hands continued to work on the task at hand. Then the buzzing came in like thunder rumbling, it was indeed time to hurry.

Clicking his tongue off of the roof of his mouth Sebastian would be swift to move to the next harvesting "Station" before continuing, hoping that his frantic energy wouldn't cause him to slip and ruin the honey gathering. However at the sight of his mission partner's large fire attacks he'd nearly hiss, was the guy a mad man? They were in a forest, a highly flammable area....

HEY, CHILL OUT, LITERALLY!

If you catch this forest on fire I'm pretty sure our job rewards will be reduced to nothing! And we'll probably be arrested or something! Don't destroy the hives, they won't be able to produce more honey, meaning everyone will be screwed out of a job....Heh, heh!

Sighing while gathering the last bit he could manage Sebastian would then ponder on his own chosen words, it was bothersome to him. Why was he so nice, even in situations like this. Why did he care about others when in the end everyone seemingly failed him one way or another, betrayal was a pet peeve that was for sure.

Quick, Maladi, Dooku let's get going!

With the gathered honey in tow Sebastian had to be swift, but careful as he didn't want to spill any of the gathered product. It would be a shame if he ruined what he had spent so delicately harvesting.

Thankfully his words had been heeded rather than being taken in negative form. Sighing both mentally and literally the blond would continued his focused rush until he and his allies had broken free of the furious bugs nearby, only slowing right before they met the forets' treeline.

Breaking through with another sigh, this time one of relief however, Sebastian would first ensure his Pokemon were still beside him before giving a once over to the gathered honey as well as the honey comb. With his partner Maverick toting a bucket now as well the burden was lightened even, thankfully.

From there they'd press on, returning to Honeywell and delivering the harvest.

A job well done.

Well that was easy enough...heh, heh.

And sting free even, hey we even avoided causing a forest fire haha!

Maybe we'll meet each other again sometime!

Keep an eye out for the cat crew and I, heh, hehh.
