Noelani barked out a short laugh before saying “Well the Kekoa experience is very much like braving your first major storm. Unforgettable…. For better or worse. But yeah, we didn’t as at the very least I prefer being sober or enough so I could remember afterwards for such events and I like to extend that to my partners as well.”
[break][break]
He waved off her worries even if he could have continued to play coy, he decided his initial burst had been enough for his amusement at least using that angle. Some self-deprecation was also inserted after all he didn’t want to seem too full of himself and you almost never could go wrong with smoothing things out with that approach. Nodding along he got up from his position of leaning against the railing and stretched while Riri landed on his shoulders and patted his head.
[break][break]
“Aye I did. And I gotta say you are a woman after my own heart. Also full of interesting stories to share.” Winking at her he then moved to get closer towards the bow before continuing “I would be happy to help considering the offer you made yesterday and the fact you haven’t gone back on it or thrown me off the ship yet.”
[break][break]
Rubbing at his chin he asked “So what seems to be the problem that you need help with?”

Noelani was content to just be left alone and finish the window cleaning by himself. That had been the plan until a blond man had quite intensely added himself to the task. Just nodding along at the deceleration of Gwyar Wledig he made space and returned to cleaning. If the way he was scrubbing at the window had increased in pace it was totally just to get it done and because of diligence of course and no other reason.
[break][break]
They managed to finish the task at record time and then the blonde had been off charging at some unseen goal. Relaxing his shoulders, a bit Noelani looked at his options though some of those looks went to the door. Though he was already here so might as well commit. Walking past people his wandering took him to the second floor and one of the guest rooms.
[break][break]
Looking at the group transferring pokemon he decided it looked easy enough of a job to make himself look busy and blend in, even if he had no idea why he should be doing that at this point. Shrugging he walked in relaxed and headed to where the Swirlix and the Farfetch'd were. Picking them up he then headed back down to the living room.

He was so confident he would be able to make it down with the two pokemon in his hands that he threw a smirk towards Zac Ramsay and Valerio Dachev . Only to stumble due to that one of the stairs jostling the pokemon he was carrying. With a cry the Farfetch'd slapped Noelani in the face with it's stalk before jumping out of his hold. That left the alolan with only one pokemon to shamefully carry back down in the living room. Confidence was a slow and insidious killer.

For once Noelani was out and exploring the Night Market as himself. There was no fancy disguise to distract from his features. He wasn’t even dressed into something shockingly eye catching instead going for a simple combo of purple dress shirt with a few loose buttons of the top and white pants. The blue earrings he had put on were probably his most attention drawing thing on him well besides him being the handsome block that he was in general.
[break][break]
Riri must have caught what he was thinking because the Emolga slapped him upside the head from where she was on his shoulder making him chuckle briefly. Besides knowing that his current pokemon companion would do the bout of recent pleased mood was also because of the pocket watch he was holding in his hand.
[break][break]
It was fairly detailed thing that he had gotten off some high-class snob passing by because he just couldn’t resist not taking it. Like come on who in this day and age even went around with a pocket watch as an actual utility item and not as a gaudy accessory.
[break][break]
He had taken his eyes off his recent acquisition to scan the crowds when he took notice of something familiar. Well, he only caught a glimpse but the alolan knew the act well enough to connect the dots himself. After a brief debate with himself Noelani decided that he might as well approach after all it had been sometime since he had interacted with someone probably cut from the same cloth as him.
[break][break]
Moving between the crowd he finally reached a good point before ducking into a stall and getting some meat sticks. He had judged it well enough that by the time he got out of the shop the woman was passing not far from where he was. With a few subtle pushes and sidesteps Noelani fell in step almost next to her.
[break][break]
Close enough that he was able to even hear her praise she gave to her pokemon. Humming he easily piped up “Not bad. I would give it a seven out of ten for style and combo with the Gastly.”
[break][break]
His lips twitched slight upwards into a smirk before he extended the hand that was holding the stick of meat. “Trade a beer for a stick?”

Noelani responded with a huff of amusement and his own grin at the confidence coming from the other trainer though it was bit damped only a few moments later. Ah of course fucking it would use Dragon Dance because things can’t go smoothly or fast. The time frame had shrunk and as such the alolan quickly ordered “Sunny Day into Petal Fury. “
[break][break]
Nodding seriously the Bellossom quickly spun and twirled while brimming with energy. She finished the impromptu dance by pointing her hands up towards the sky and releasing the energy. Immediately in the surrounding area the light of the sun streaming down intensified. Noelani could feel the temperature rise from so much concentrated sunlight but he would take the sweat any day for the boost it brought to his starter.
[break][break]
Kala welcomed the changed weather with open arms before once more beginning to channel Growth and draw power from nature and her surroundings. So far, the Gyarados hadn’t focused on them and hopefully his companion would be able to keep its attention like that for a bit more.
[break][break]
If they did so and the Bellossom was not interrupted in her powering up she would then unleash her attack. Twirling once petals would begin appearing around her in large numbers and with a motion, she would direct them towards the serpent. Channeling all of the energy she had gathered into the move an almost unending tide of Petals would slam into the bulk of the water type. She would keep up the attack until the Gyarados was knocked out or she was spent. That or if it tried to interrupt her.
[break][break]
Humming as he watched the spectacle Noelani couldn’t help but add “You know if we didn’t have to worry about the residents of the pond a well-timed fire attack would have left an even bigger bang. That or an electric attack.”

Noelani listened attentively to the farmer as he also cast an eye towards the Wooloo. It made sense that some pokemon had decided to make an easy meal from the farm pokemon. A pack of Mightyena wasn’t the greatest but well it could have also been worse. The alolan had heard stories of Salamence doing that over here and man now that might have proven a bit too much.
[break][break]
The possibility of it being a pokemon with a grudge did also make sense. Dark type were anything if not able to hold a grudge and petty enough to pass it to their offspring. Noelani still remembered that one Obstagoon that kept chasing him all over Alola. The only reason he got rid of it was because it got captured by some tourist. Never seen it again but a couple of zigazgoon still stalked him when he visited its birth island.
[break][break]
Nodding his head in confirmation Noelani responded “Yeah, we’ll take care of it. Defeating the alpha of the pack might scatter them but on the safe side probably best to beat down a few of the other stronger looking ones as well. Dark types like taking over established structures if they think themselves strong enough.”
[break][break]
Glancing at the farmer he asked “When was the last attack and do you know around when it usually happens. It’ll give us some general orientation so we could prepare.”

Noelani’s companion and his pokemon took the initiative and dived to investigate what had been causing trouble. They didn’t have to wait long before the culprit was revealed. As droplets of water sprayed him from its emergence in those first few moments Noelani could only blink at the form of the Gyarados.
[break][break]
“Well at least we know now it wasn’t an invasive species. Is it wrong that part of me is sort of amused that a freaking Gyarados popped up from the water?” Was the alolan’s oddly calm question.
[break][break]
It was definitely still surprising and the serpent would make for a tough opponent but well it was also familiar ground. Noelani knew how to handle a Gyarados, it wasn’t easy but he knew how after all when traveling between islands by sea it was almost guaranteed that at some point you would run into the angry water type. They would just need to hammer it down but since it was trapped into this tiny pool it would have to be probably until it was knocked out instead of till it backed off.
[break][break]
Next to him his starter had already taken action and a storm of petals hit the bulk of the Gyarados. After the attack was cut off Noelani would turn to the other trainer “Think your pokemon could keep most of its attention for a bit? “ in the meantime, the Bellossom was glowing with the telltale signs that came when using Growth and preparing the usual thing routine they used.

For a moment Noelani was worried the woman might fall overboard with how surprised she was at his appearance but thankfully she managed to hold on and regain her balance. That in turn allowed him to fully bask in the amusement that was being generate by her reactions. He had been given time to give an explanation though the alolan wasn’t sure if she remembered his name or if he had actually said it last night so he made sure to add “The name is Noelani by the way.”
[break][break]
He was momentarily distracted as he watched a Golduck wave goodbye to Riri before jumping overboard and into the water. Noelani had to blink and rise an eyebrow towards the Emolga but his answer was only an amused chirp prompting him to huff and return his attention back to the blonde now longing in the ropes.
[break][break]
Retaining his relaxed posture Noelani met her gaze before giving a hum and drawing out his response “Wellll you could say there was a lot of sweating, drooling and swaying involved last night. So, I guess it would depend on what you define as sleeping with.” He finished off with small grin on his face.
[break][break]
They hadn’t of course and the things he had listed were bits that happened during the night. The sweating had happened because of a push up challenge, which he had lost. She had also certainly drooled a bit while briefly passing out on the table after emptying the second bottle of tequila.
[break][break]
And they had certainly swayed a lot when he helped her back to her room and then he stumbled his way toward where he was supposed to crash for the night. Despite all of that it didn’t also mean Noelani wouldn’t try to mess with her about it though,

Yeah, as always, the good ol threaten with fire and brimstone worked well enough. Him and Wikolia had practiced it enough by now to be able to sell it without actually going through with it. Not that they couldn’t just that Noelani preferred not doing it. It was a bit sad that it had still actually seen use as much as it had in the past.
[break][break]
“Sure, Sure” was his only reply as she finally accepted, she wouldn’t be getting rid off him so easily. Not that Wikolia moved away from him after that, especially when his gun wielding companion released her Blaziken to follow her. He was also finally given a name though after rolling it a bit in his head he was unsure if it was a real or a fake one. Not that it mattered currently after all he had managed to pry it out finally so he was satisfied for now.
[break][break]
He couldn’t resist the joke that followed though “Good thing I didn’t ask for your age or something if this is how I finally got a name eh?”
[break][break]
He watched the proceeding short battle and noticed some stray pokemon dash out from the ruined wall of the office so Noelani gave out a warning “Heads up. There are few darting out of where the Excadrill made an entrance. “
[break][break]
Reason was that the Luxio seemed aggressive so better to give Sarah more time to react to it.

Nodding his head along Noelani agreed with the other man “You are right on all accounts. I’ve even actually seen a few natural migrations of species happen.” his face darkened somewhat making him pause before he continued in a bit of a sour tone “Though I wish smuggling of pokemon wasn’t such a factor as it is.”
[break][break]
He might have dabbled in smuggling but if there was one line, he didn’t cross it was stealing and smuggling of pokemon. Considering the connection Noelani shared with his team he just found that particular side of criminal activities distasteful. He did also finally notice the Cacturne after following the gaze of the older mam. It also didn’t seem to want to interfere with them and after catching its gaze Noelani decided against capturing it. There wasn’t that instinctive click he sometimes got when looking upon a pokemon.
[break][break]
His mood did brighten a bit at the next words coming from Skids and the alolan let out a chuckle before responding “Oh thank god you added that we could take the stairs cause for a moment I thought you were suggesting to try and use the elevator.”
[break][break]
He made sure to grin and make it clear he was jesting before nodding his head “I say we give a check to the lower ground floor before heading up the other levels. Just to see what’s the condition down there than anything else really. If you are game for that of course.”
[break][break]
If his temporary companion agreed Noelani would begin to search for some stairs that would lead them down.

Noelani leaned back and waited for whomever would be joining him for this job. Well, it wasn’t technically a job exactly it was more of a request. It seemed someone had talked about his company and his name had come up resulting in him being asked if he could help. Spreading his name was always good and accepting this would generate goodwill in the long run. Something the alolan didn’t mind at all.
[break][break]
It wasn’t long before the old man brought the guy that would be helping Noelani. Another old man but this one he recognized from the brief stint they had of exploring that abandoned hotel in Slateport. Rising a hand in greeting he could only amusedly call out “Hello there, fancy meeting you again.”
[break][break]
He knew vaguely what they had to do so Noelani turned towards the owner that requested them “So anything you can fill us on a as heads up before we start in truth.” He mostly wanted to see if he could get a clue on what might have been causing the problem for the farmer.
[break][break]
After that Noelani wouldn’t mind just socializing and allowing the two men that obviously knew each other to catch up for a bit if needed.

Noelani rose an eyebrow when he was greeted by an intercom rather then someone standing against him and facing him. When he saw a mechanical pillar rise and dispense the pokemon he would fight the alolan decided to chalk it up to the gym’s gimmick or style. There could be other reasons for it as well but it didn’t really matter currently and this was just stray thoughts that came while waiting for the battle to start.
[break][break]
As soon as the signal to begin was given Noelani wasted no time to give out his orders “Will-o-Wisp and contain. Makani set up for bombardment.”
[break][break]
Being his probably most battle oriented pokemon and already having psych themselves up for combat they carried out his orders without delay. Blue ghastly wisps of fire formed around the Vulpix hovering above her tails and growing in number before launching themselves towards their two opponents in attempt to hit them. While she was doing that the Dragapult had turned incorporeal and sank into the ground only to appear below Wikolia while turning solid and lifting her up on his head before rapidly gaining altitude.
[break][break]
The vulpix paws slid a bit as she righted herself and adjusted to the new position on to of the Dragon type’s head but still managed to open her maw and spit out an intense column of fire. The Fire Spin would attempt to land and attempt to entrap their opponents in a fiery tornado. Regardless if the attack succeeded the Dragapult would also attempt to use Lock On on the Aegislash.
