notes: first raid, woot!

a vehicle pulled up, the man and woman inside not known to her. but at least she knew the name of the man. the redhead is quick to offer regret of her choice, to which Siobhan shakes her head. "no - we will be very careful with him." is all she said before the woman nods. she seemed pleased with the other female's words. the man was a bit intimidating to her.

examining the 'cargo' once more, she would place the Zen-mode into the back of the vehicle and put a blanket over the meditating Pokémon. Siobhan would dig out the money promised to the redhead, but would hold back on the full amount. "we will contact you when the job is done for the other half." just in case the red's hesitance led her to turn on them.

glumly, the other woman nods.

going to the Pokemon Center, she vanishes from sight. Siobhan would turn to Raphael. either he was watching her potential or just naturally silent - she did not care. "ready to begin?" she would ask him.

2/5

what else does a folklorist do in her own time? interesting. she hadn't ever considered it. there was always a plethora of legends and mythology in Galar, but Hoenn had much more. she doubted she'd ever get bored here.

"if there comes a time" Siobhan would say, taking a napkin from the table and writing down her contact information. if Cian was serious about a tour guide, then he could have it "when that all dries up..." a pause, thoughtful.

"I'd like to travel." to see other regions, for sure. to expand her knowledge of other cultures. it still was 'work' related but whatever. she already said she wrote in her spare time, she doubted Cian wanted a repeat.

glancing at her stack of books, she'd gather them up after throwing the smoothie out into a nearby recyclable bin. "it was nice meeting you" she would begin again "yet I should check these out." and be on her way.

there was always something to do in Hoenn. be it socialize or read. she preferred to read.

-exit-

Gravedigger was the first to arrive back.

the Dusknoir would deposit the fainted Axew at her feet. he had beaten it almost to the point of death, his Ice Punch doing wonders against the typing. Siobhan bent down to tap a Pokeball against the wild beast's forehead, trying to capture it.

she would administer medical aid even if she did not succeed. she would not let it suffer for the sake of her ego. Yuki-onna appeared beside the Dusknoir next, having found nothing decent for their trainer.

"you did your best" Siobhan says to her, straightening up and offering a quick pat. the Frolass trilled happily, though still looked crestfallen.

each person had their own type of Pokemon they liked. as much as the Granbull tempted her, she let the young man have it. having followed the Houndour's nose with some success, she did not mind. t'was his find. "very well" Siobhan replies, snapping her fingers to let loose Tyrant.

the Mareanie would scuttle forward, aiming Venom Drench at the Wigglytuff. as part fairy-type, it was effective. Tyrant would become her fairy-hunter, she just knew it. Wigglytuff began to slow down, and that's when she lobbed a Pokeball at it. it encased the wild Pokemon inside, rocking back and forth before settling. hopefully.

Siobhan would turn to the blond. "your turn." with the argument between Granbull and Wigglytuff effectively silenced, the canine-like fairy looked a bit lost.

she didn't really want to participate, but apparently that ship had sailed. after that woman, Melody's, concert, Siobhan found herself accosted by various trainers looking to battle. she would politely wave them away, declining. a few got a bit rough about it, but luckily some League Rangers on patrol stepped in to control them. 

she would walk the beach alone for now. it took all of ten minutes to spot a familiar face off to the side. with nothing better to do, she approached. "Remiel" Siobhan would say to him, stopping a few steps away. she wore a bikini this time, the sun tanning her pale skin nicely. though a wrap was around her waist, in purple-pink hues. the same about her top.

"wracking up the wins yet?"

Remiel Calcifet

a Corsola was definitely not on her list.

Siobhan watched as it floated by in the water, playing happily and chasing a few other fish. of course, the Galarian Forme was more on her radar. the ghost-type Corsola was, however, not this one. this one was the original form.

she would glance away, waiting on her ghost types to re-join her. perhaps they would bring her something of value, or perhaps not. either way, she knew how to be patient and wait for everything to fall into her lap.

-skip-

coming from the south of the route, from Rustboro, Siobhan would begin. the last few times her hunts had gotten nowhere, but luckily she had gathered a stronger team. they could no doubt find something of value along this location.

be it Pokémon or relic, being so close to Meteor Falls, she was ready. releasing her Froslass and Dusknoir, she let the two ghosts shift their attention to the wild beasts in the area. both of them needed to let out a bit of steam.

"don't fail me" she says as a last little 'encouragement' to her partners. both of them gave a nod before floating off.

"and what qualifies for termination?"

she had to ask. it was foolish to rush into something without knowing the full details. Siobhan was smartly on the fence regarding this. surely if she had her own power she would not have to rely on Remiel and his organization? but if she was aware of it, did something they didn't like... they could also band together and silence her. and the Legendary that came along for the ride.

she realized she was trapped by him. like a bug being pinned to the wall, mounted for all to see. "I will think about it" she answers thinly, not quite sure to how to react to the offer and to her own thoughts on it. the Flapple does not escape notice. with a soft whistle, she directs Poe to attack it. a few well timed Drill Pecks is all that stands in the grass-dragon's way. it eventually falls to the trained raven.

throwing a Pokeball, she would ask; "does Rocket know about your little project?"

-capture attempt-

capture water-types. or steal them. whichever worked for the situation. Siobhan had no trouble doing this, but who was to be her partner for it? having met few Rockets, she could only guess. the head honchos said someone would be along, and that was all. radio silence. she sat on the boat she had 'borrowed' from the nearby harbor, her eyes flickering over the rolling waves.

swimmers were typically along this route, so it would be easy to take their water-types. or, she supposed, they could just capture them from the waves themselves. surely there was not a lack of them. Tentacool in particular were abundant. their poisonous type could be useful to Rocket. all that was left was to wait for someone to show up...

"yes" Tyrant had been a lucky find, no doubt about that "he's of the shiny variety." but before either human could elaborate, the young man was reacting to what his Houndour saw. the canine was quick to offer a Smog. Siobhan fanned some of the poisonous gas in front of her idly before the blond joined them.

Siobhan would shake her head, allowing the Chansey to be on their way. after looking briefly shocked the blond had almost run into it, the wild Pokémon teetered off. "fairy-types" she says to him "are what I search for" or an Eevee or two, but he didn't need to know that right away. her eyes glance away, Tyrant bouncing at her side.

he was very eager to show off for the human who said he was 'cool'.
