kyle wasn't having any difficulty traversing the upward slope, nor was he having any trouble at all. despite living with someone who's big into healthy living, kyle has not adapted to the lifestyle yet.

"why do we have to climb this? can't we just get on a flying-type or something?"

anything that involves physical labor activates kyle's natural instinct to whine over nothing. the hike that adam has invited him to get them into shape was one such instance that provokes the defense mechanisms of the elite four against being too nice to decline.

he supposed this was nothing to adam since he was a ranger and rangers do these kinds of stuff on the daily. kyle tried it once, and it made him appreciate office work more.

A hike like this was a common affair for a Ranger like Adam but it was a nice change of pace to have someone he actually knows with him. And despite all the whining that the other person was doing Adam was having a good time.

It was good for them to get out, get some fresh air and exercise, and besides what else was Kyle even really doing anyway?

”Excellent idea! We should use Pokémon every time we want to go somewhere. They’ll never be a time when we might not have certain mon for the job on hand, right?” Adam shrugged before then waving a hand dismissively as if to shoo away the very thought.

”C’mon if you can whine as much as you do you can move faster, let’s go! All this exercise will be good for you E4 boy.” He added, taking a moment to look the other male over.

”You’re starting to look a little chubby at the sides. Eating too much ice cream?”

he wasn't breathing heavily, nor was he aching already. kyle was perfectly healthy despite how his defeatist nature makes it sound like. he cannot deny adam's comment, however.

"have you even tried the ice cream place on verdanturf? that shit's addicting with the fresh moo moo milk they use and all."

he blames being in a relationship as a factor of him getting fatter. getting spoiled by noah faber doing most of the chores in the house gives him an excuse to laze around all day.

maybe adam was right.

"i'll treat you to anything in their menu once we get back," kyle calls from behind adam. "it can be, like, a reward for getting a good work out, or something like that. bet?"

the talk about ice cream was enough to distract him from the newfound motivation, however.

Adam laughed as he shook his head, Kyle was lucky they were young or he’d probably be fat by now. He couldn’t judge Lopez that much. Comparing who Adam is today to whom he was a couple of years ago and his younger self would probably laugh at how lazy he’s gotten.

So he’d cut him some slack but still did Kyle want to be the Ice Cream Elite Four member?

Adam would keep that thought to himself, Kyle might actually think that didn’t sound too bad.

Adam supposed he could have a team of ice types, a couple of the Vanillite line in his team.

Someone has definitely done that and if they beat anyone with that team the loser should feel really ashamed about it. He was thinking way too much about this.

”Alright I’ll take you up on that but you can’t have any. I actually haven’t had any Verdanturf ice cream before.” Adam called back.

”Unless you can manage to keep up the pace that is, cause you can do better than just staring at the back of my head the entire time.”

his pace slows down with the idea of snacks on his head. the daydream continues, until the elite four member gets snapped back to reality with adam's unexpected answer to his invitation.

the first part, it takes him a while to make a comeback. for the second part, he blurts out the first thing he thinks of in case he misses the timing once again.

"maybe the back of your head's nice to look at or something. you don't know."

he then tries to control his breathing, attempting to match adam's pace with his own. being shorter than adam, kyle makes an effort to speed up his pace to make up for the difference in their strides. the terrain makes it difficult, however.

"why can't we do this in a park or something instead? a mountain's much more difficult to climb anyways."

Kyle’s comeback almost made Adam trip and fall on his face, that response felt so random. ”Well you’ll be seeing a lot of it, I guess?” How the hell was someone supposed to respond to that?

The ranger wouldn’t dwell on the comment; he might actually bust his ass falling over if he did. Though it was nice to see Kyle actually put some more effort into keeping up. Affirming Adam's assumption that if Kyle just tried he'd be able to.

They hadn’t talked much about the younger male’s rise to Elite Four but Adam had this thought in his head that somehow Kyle managed to half-ass his way all the way to the top. But knowing Lopez and how he manages to pull shit off that was probably not far off.

”Uh that’s kind of the point there buddy.” Adam shook his head.

”Besides a park is boring as hell! This is much better exercise and you get a taste of ranger life.” Though this was probably part of the reason why one of them was a ranger and the other wasn’t.

during the period of time in between the fall of rocket and him being scouted to be a member of the elite four, kyle has tried to give rangering a go. it wouldn't have lasted long regardless of whether he got the invitation or not.

"i tried it before. there's a reason why i only lasted like one or two months."

kyle eventually manages to keep up with adam, reaching his side once he decided to actually make an effort to climb. his pace quickens more when he recognizes the terrain that leads to the peak.

the clouds that accent the height that they were at eventually make way for their eyes to spot a checkpoint. an obvious shift in expression turns kyle's lips to a smile.

"ah, i can see the top from here," he mentions, pace hastening until he overtakes adam. he stops and turns around. "you have a flying-type with you, right? i didn't bring mine."

A simple hike up the mountain wasn’t going to change Kyle all that much but at least from this little display there would be moments that the elite four member found himself pushing to make it to the goal.

Maybe that’s all he needed, was for someone to show him where the goal was and he’d be more eager to move. Adam shook his head to shoo his thoughts. That was enough theorizing on how to be someone else’s life coach. And he was bad at it anyway, almost having laughed at Kyle lamenting on how he didn’t last long as a ranger.

Once they reached the top Adam admired the sight, taking in a deep breath.

”This is nice.” He said after exhaling. However, that moment of peace quickly turned to one of laughter, the reason being Kyle’s question and Adam not being prepared for that despite thinking he should have been.

”Come on man! Going back down is part of the fun!” He was sure that response wasn’t great for Kyle so he added to it.

”And besides, I didn’t bring one either.”

discontent colors his expression when he learns that none of them have any pokemon that could aid them an easy way down.

"we can rest at least, right?" he asks.

kyle settles on a rock large enough to provide a seat for him. only when he slows down did he realize that maybe his body wasn't conditioned for prolonged hikes like these, and are, instead, more used to bursts of actions that do not require much stamina.

he could feel his heart palpitate. adrenaline had been the only thing fueling him since the start, and it's only when he starts panting softly did he acknowledge it.

"i need... a short rest..." he tells adam, slumping from a sitting position. "you need a break too right? yeah, we both need it." kyle wasn't sure if he his best attempt at persuasion was enough, but he tried at least.

”Yeah sure we can rest.” Adam replied. He didn’t really need to take a break and honestly, the trek down was going to be extremely easy but he supposed Kyle earned it.

Instead of taking a seat like Kyle, Adam instead pick some pebbles off the ground and began tossing them down the path they just climbed, watching them skip down the mountain.

”Only a couple of minutes though, we’ve got to get back down before nightfall.” Adam said, looking up to the sky and noticing the sun’s position.

”Don’t want to be out here and some nasty Pokémon come out looking to make us a snack.” He added, looking over to Kyle and smirking.

”Because they’d definitely go for the thicker one of the two of us.” The ranger teased.
