Matt followed along, finding Kazzy along the way. "C'mon, buddy." He called to the smaller canine, as Nana sniffed the air. Her head turning, her mane started to stand on end. It made her growl lowly, like something else was here. Turning her head around, before snorting. Finally, she leaned over, seeing the Luxray below. Brow raised at it, already trying to compute a way for her to get down to assist.

Climbing off Nana, Matt reached into her saddle and produced a thick rope. "Here, hold this." He instructed the canine. Nana took it in her maw, lifting a brow at him. Matt tied it around his waist, he went to the side of the cliff. "Okay Bana, keep me steady." Nodding, she held the rope tighter in he rmaw.

Matt propelled himself down, getting to Blitz. "Hey there buddy, I hope you're actually okay. Lets get ya back up there, alright?" If the Luxray allowed him to touch them, he would go to untie the rope from himself and start tying it around the Luxray's body. "I'm going to climb up and meet with Nana, then we both will pull you up, okay?"

Everybody was Clamperl diiiiving- yeah! At least that's all Matt was doing. All day. Every day. For the past two weeks. Cause lad did not know how to stop diving into the water, swimming out, and diving down deep looking for treasure!

Matt had rolled over to look at what he tripped on. Was that Crash? The sudden kisses gave it away. "Ah! You're as bad as Kazzy, boy! Down, down!" He laughed, giving him some affectionate pets. "Sorry I tripped over you." Getting up, he waved Crash off. Going to hitch himself back up on top of Nana.

Looking around the area, he was trying to spot where Dagger or Kazzy had ran off too. Kazzy had followed the scents to the river, staring at it with his ears pinned back. Whining as he paced the riverbank, poor pup was concerned one of them had fallen in and gotten hurt! But wait, was there footprints? The canine started to look, to see if possibly his bigger friends had been swept away by the waters!

Meanwhile Dagger had went and perched himself up on top of the highest thing he could find- which was a tree. He was sitting on the very top branch, eye eyes scanning the area. Higher vantage point was always good... until he looked towards Josh. Eyes locked with the Charziard, the canine just glaring them down, before it went back to looking for it's targets- only for a ear to flick towards the whining he was hearing from Kazzy probably panicking over nothing. Rolling his eyes, he used Swords Dance- which caught Matt's attention. Daggers pointed the swords to point towards where Kazzy was, which sent Nana running off in a hurry in case something was wrong!

Josh Devlin

Could he be a life guard ranger? With all this damn swimming he was going to be an absolute water god at this rate. Or turn into a water pokemon. What pokemon would he be? Probably a gyradose or something... no that's to big. Something he would have to ask Nico later after he got done diving for more treasure.

Another day, another dive. Another bottle of sunscreen to bathed himself in. He was just going to become some famous diver by now, isn't he? He did not CARE! He'd use that training noah faber gave him to fight currents and get that treasure!

Oh Matt could strangle Nana. Not that he ever would lay a finger on her. But the two were off. Matt went to stand on top of Nana's back, placing his hand over his eyes to peer out against the tall grass she had settled in. The air felt... weird. Not sure why.

"You smell anything, girl?" Nana lifted her nose, giving a sharp sniff. Her eyes squinted, going to press her nose firmly to the ground. Inhaling, before she barked a command for Matt to sit. He fell very ungracefully back into the saddle, and she trotted forward. Circling an odd patch of grass within.

Matt lfited a brow, hopping off her and going to comb through the grass- and trip over the bolthound. Well... that's one way to find someone!

Sigh. The last thing Matt wanted was to be scolded by someone, who he assumed was around his age. It was almost hard to hide the annoyance on his face. It reminded him of his dad, Jackson. Always telling him not to be such a hot head, cool his jets. While his mother encouraged he express his emotions. Right now though, he had to take this with a grain of salt.

"I'm sorry, okay? Don't exactly want to get hurt, I already know my boyfriend is going to chew me out for this later." Rubbing the back of his neck, he grunted at the tension in his shoulders. Ow-

Nana started to snarl, her eyes locked above- a Drampa in the sky?! But that's not all! There was a loud caterwauling, as a Grimmsanarl came busting through, like it was chasing the Dramapa. Matt was stunned by this, before he noticed the Grimmsnarl turned it's attention to them.

Out of habit, Matt stepped in front of Josh and his pokemon- like he could defend them. Nana stepped forward, flames smokin gout of the corners of her mouth- and without a word blasted the pokemon. Matt frowned at this- slowly realizing... maybe he was out of his league with Nana- that stung. He had saved her, he owed it to her to be able to care for her and train her properly. Sighing, he called out to her. "Nana! Don't hurt it, let's catch it!"

Nana turned her head back, snorting, but nodding. Even if she could be wild, she did always reel back in fairly easily. "Extreme Spped and knock it back so I can throw a ball." Ordered Matt, as Nana was off in a blur. Smacking into the Grimmsnarl, sending it flying back just as Matt went and threw the pokeball after it. Hoping to blindside it and snag it away!

[Catching Grimmsnarl with pokeball!]

Matt had to stop himself from laughing at his boyfriends comment. It wasn't out of malice or anything towards Josh, but it was a little correct. Leaning in to whisper back to Nico. "A lil', he rode my ass when I got tackled off Nana by Tory." The Scraggy he had caught. "But he means well? Sorta reminds me of a boy scout JT." Shrugging at Nico, he went back to focusing on the job.

Nana trotted around with her her head held high. Happy to assist in a clean up, even kicking some trash towards the net for her to grab. Grabbing a... was that a bike tire? In her mouth to hold to show the men like she was oh so proud of herself for this feat of greatness. Matt was laughing at that. "Good job, Nana!"

Though seeing Nico's interest sparked in an instant by the gym, Matt grinned at him. "Oh yeah, I plan on racing him when we get to his gym, babe. Me and Nana have a race to make up, ain't that right girl?" Nana barked, it was a bit muffled due to the tire in her nouth, but she was affirming nonetheless.

"Hope you're ready Josh, we're not gonna mess up that time!"

Was Matt ever going to get his treasure he sought after so much? Was any of these dives getting him closer, or was he becoming insane from how much water was getting to his brain? It didn't matter, MAtt did not know how to quit! He would be a bronze god after all this, but he didn't care!

Matt may have been a little smug he and Kazzy pulled off that move. His chest puffed out, that smug little smirk Nico loved so mcuh spreading over his face. Going over to Kazzy, he scooped up the canine and hugged him. "Good job, bud! Look at that, you stopped the fastest mouse ever!" Nuzzling Kazzy's nose, he placed the dog back down and snorted when Nico announced the hunger.

"Some grub would be good, gettin' some before we head out travelin' or battlin' is a good idea." He suggested, putting his arms behind his head. "I still say go kick the gym leaders ass with Lilypad." The wink. "Can text Aki and tell her how her goat whipped everyone's ass and watch her be dismayed."

nicodemus unken

Oh.

Oh no.

Oh no no no.

Matt's entire face darkened as he got embarrassed. Red eyes widening to the size of plates, jaw dropping. In a frantic shove away from Isaac, he shoved him off with a huff. "Gross." Grumbling, he shuffled himself as close to Nico as he could get. Have to rub Nico's scent all back over him. Not gross Isaacs! Dammit, why they both gotta be cute blondes?


Wait did he just say Zeus-Fu? Well that sent Matt into a snorting fit. Covering his mouth to not laugh at the joke from some punk! Nu-uh! "Trust me, not the only reason I stay with him." Oh that was a wink towards Isaac and a down right smirk. Though now that he was regaining his senses, he looked at Nico.

Going to grab his face and start looking him over. To make sure he was actually okay and not hurt. Going to check his hands now, seeing the gauntlets. "Torolf's new design?" He asked, actually curious, before shaking his head. "Sorry... I didn't mean to make you worry." Rubbing the back of his neck, he offered a awkward lopsided smile from his bruised face.

Before he looked at Tekka. Then Lily. Then back to Nico. "Oh hell, are you turning into Nate now?" He teased his boyfriend.

Kazzy was finally sent flying off the Garchomp, sliding across the ground and finally stopping. Shaking himself of his dazed state, his eyes went to glare at the brute who was going after his trainer. How dare he! Did he not learn his lesson from his bites?! Obviously not! Snarling he went yapping and barking after him. Going to Crunch right into his leg this time if he got a hold!


Matt was far more concerned for companion than he was his own health. Everything was happening to quickly! The ape went... ape, and now Kazzy was trying to bite the things leg! But Noah's words hit his ears and he followed the instructions without hesitation. Blocking his head and soon barely dodging under the blade of the Garchomp, it actually managed to slice some of his hair off.

One dodged, he went to swing with an upper cut right to the damn dragons face! Matt...

Matt was not a smart man.

noah faber

Was Matt turning into a golden sun kissed god? Why yes, with how much he was out enjoying this summer diving weather. He was here again! Lathering himself up in some sunscreen to protect himself, he went off into the water!
