Nana disregarded Matt's nagging at her. Only to lift her ears as the sound of trotting footsteps reached her ears. Head and eyes snapped forward, half positioning herself between her trainer and the oncoming force. Instead, he seemed friendly, so she relaxed. Sitting on her hunches as she began to groom her paws, scratching them over her ears to groom those as well. Matt watched her movements, before looking up to the man towering above him.

"Yeah dude, I'm fine. She does this when she's done with me being on her."

Pushing himself up onto his feet, he dusted off the back of his shirt and legs. Looking towards the ranger, he looked him over. Riding Pokemon...? That was cool. It had him a little jealous. It would be cool to race pokemon like that.

"Names Matt," He offered his hand out for a shake.

Matt really should have thought this through. Somewhere in the back of his head, he heard Nico's nagging. To stop and think when he got mad. Matt never was good at that, though. Charging blindly forward; fist swinging as it missed. Trying to catch himself on his heel, with his back now to the wall as he was shoved forward. Teeth gritted, though eyes looked like burning embers. If Matt could have actually seen this guy, he may have relaxed. Hell maybe even made friends, as Matt had some weird thing about being drawn towards blondes.


The yipping and barking that was coming from Kazzy stopped. Soon turning into a snarl as his hackles raised, eyes glued right onto the man in front of them. He was hurting his dad! His trainer! That would make his other dad sad. Nico would be very upset! That wasn't good at all! It made him angry. With a snort through his nose, those Keen Eyes focused right for his ankle- charging forward to try and chomp right down on it!

Perhaps if he managed, it could let Matt wiggle himself free from being cornered to the wall and slide away!

Matt did not enjoy hot sand. It was not pleasant between his toes, in his hands, swim shorts. But his dogs? Nope, they were living it up in the sand. Kazzy had his head buried in it, while Nana was lounging in the sunrays, basking up all the warmth she could still. He wished he could have that luxury there. Instead, he was sweating his balls off. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he placed a hand to shield his eyes to peer further down the beach. What exactly was he looking at?

His eyes may have failed him, but his ears didn't. He heard the cries of disgruntled pokemon. It made Nana's ears perk, the arcanine rose her head up. A frown came over her muzzle, standing up to grab Matt by his shorts to tug him back. A small whine, not wanting her boy to go into harms way if it was indeed what the duo were thinking. Meanwhile, Kazzy paid no attention like the oblivious pup he was.

A hand placed to Nana's muzzle, gently pushing her back. "I'm just gonna check it out."

The more the man talked, the angrier Matt became. To say those red eyes of his saw red, was an understatement. The level of anger that came from the man was felt also by his dog. Who looked up in confusion at his trainer, reading his expression and soon snarling towards the rocket member. Baring those little fangs, buckling down, ready to battle! Matt would send him to attack, right? Not put himself in danger... right?

Right?

Wrong.

Instead, Matt watched the man. His expression had fallen almost into a weird stoic-yet-filled-with-rage expression. Those red eyes narrowed dangerously onto the man. His leg adjusted, as he suddenly broke into a sprint towards him. Fist raised like it was muscle memory, going to attempt to connect his fist to the others jaw. Matt was already pissed off before from falling on his face due to Kazzy chasing this mans damned treats, so why not take that anger plus the fact he is acting scummy all out on his face?

Perfectly reasonable.

No talk, only punch.

This was not what Matt planned to do today. Not chase this hoodlum of a rockruff and most definitely not come across a Rocket Grunt. The louder the revving got, caused Matt to pause and look up. Seeing a... pokemon driving a motorcycle. That made him double take, turning to see the grunt disappearing off around a corner. Brows furrowed, a deep-seeded resentment of the Rockets came bubbling up under the surface. A hand slipped into his pocket, gripping the pokeball that held his Arcanine- remembering how he saved her from rocket poachers. Teeth grit, glancing down towards Kazzy, who was busy stuffing his face with the treats laying around.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he snapped his fingers to get the dogs attention. Luckily, it worked for once. Kazzy's ears shot up, going to look up at him with wide eyes. Thinking he was in trouble for eating food off the ground- Nico would yell at him for that- but Matt shook his head. "You better hope that's not poisoned." He hissed to the dog, before looking to where the grunt ran off too. "Come on, we got a rat to catch."

Kazzy saw how serious his trainer looked, nodding his head in a sagely matter. Ears pinned back, quickly stalking with his master towards the alleyway Isaac had hidden himself behind. But Matt was never one to be sneaky. "Hey! The hell are you doing skulking around here?!"

""Nana, where are you going?" Matt asked the giant Arcanine under him. The canine gave a snort through her nose, sending plumes of smoke of an answer. "Okay, sorry I asked." Rolling his eyes, she had the mind and will of her own. She wanted to go for a walk on this nice day. So she up and lifted Matt onto her back to take him with her. The little pup of hers needed sunshine, too! Not just lurking around following Nicodemus around like a lost puppy. Cute lovepups, but Matt needed to grow! Can't grow in you don't experience the sun! The wild! Grass!

Matt had learned to grin and bare it. He had not came across the Arcanine when she was a growlithe. Having saved her from rather nasty poachers, she now viewed Matt and anyone close to him- friend, foe, rival, or even wild pokemon- as her pups. Not exactly the best thinking, but Matt adored the large canine for it regardless.

Soon though, Nana stopped. Shaking Matt clear off her without a care, knocking the man into the grass below. Matt groaned, smacking against the ground on his back. Staring up at the mound of orange fur before him. "Rude." Shoving himself up onto his elbows, he looked around. "Well, I guess I'll snoop around while we're here."

Truth to be told, as much as he enjoyed peace and quiet, Matt always yearned for more excitement. It was one of the reasons he was glad he and Nico were going to be doing the gym challenges, escape from the mundane college life they lived. Even if it was a little scary to be homeless. But it was a challenge and he liked those.

Soon his thoughts were interrupted by someone being obnoxious on a bike. It made him roll his eyes. "Seriously? Twatwaffle." Grumbling, he turned to try and find where the source of the noise was coming from. A low growl-grumble came from his throat, crossing his arms. "Stupid." Came the mutter, now discarding the noise as some teenager trying to show off to his girlfriend to score some head.

However...

Kazzy sniffed the air. Ears went alert, that tail up. Those large eyes sparkled with naïve wonderment. Before Matt could even react, the dog was taking off full speed towards the dark alleyways that snuck into the city. Matt spun on his heel, going to dive for the dog and try to catch him. Failing as he bashed his chin into the ground. A snarl of pain emitted, as he shoved himself up.

"I'm going to skin you!" Scrambling after the canine. "Get back here! Kazzy!" The two were running blind, Kazzy for the smell of dog treats, and Matt for that fluffy tail to snatch him up like a ragdoll.

Sun rays beat down within the rusty rock city. Maybe it was a crisp 80 degrees, with a slight breeze. So it was not making the day totally unbearable. The crowds were not bustling today. People meandering and enjoying their simple lives in this summer day. Though Matt was looking forward towards Autumn; when things got crisper. When leaves would change and give him an excuse to cuddle his boyfriend... Speaking of Nico.

Nico was off doing, well, Nico things. They had a good relationship like that; they could go off and handle their own things while the other was content. Which was what Matt was right now. Currently sipping on a a blue powerade, the sunny weather above beat against his dark skin. Hot weather never bothered him, it was just kind of something one got used too when living with a giant heater of a Arcanine that thought you were her pup. Plus he did enjoy jogging in the weather. Wasn't that what Nico was doing? Maybe he should take Kazzy out on a run, then perhaps the puppy would chill.

What was he kidding, that dog had absolutely no chill.

Speaking of that canine, he was already about to be in trouble. Trying to sneak up on some poor ladies skitty. "You even think about it and I'm bathing you." That made the dog freeze, looking up with the saddest pair of puppy eyes. "Don't even, and Nico isn't here to save you from the dreaded water." He teased, sticking his tongue out at the pup, who kept pouting. He just wanted to have fun and dad was being mean! 

Isaac Merlo

He was going to murder this dog. Why could he never listen?! Huffing he pinched his temple. "For Arceus' sake" with a low growl in his tone. "KAZZY!" The hollering could be heard down the road the dog was chasing the rodent down.

Speaking of the dog, he was hyper focused on the bouncing yellow tail he wanted to pounce on. Yipping happily after the Pikachu, he went to leap for the tail. He missed, face planting into the ground. Confusion dazed the canine for a few moments, before he was up and bounding again right after the electric-type. "Ruff!! Ro!!" He barked, looking so proud of himself.

"You wanna help?!" He huffed back to his boyfriend, going to take off into a jog after the two pokemon. "Kazzy when  I get my hands on you I swear, I'm putting you in the pokeball for a week!"

Why Nico didn't let him just get the door was beyond him. Actually, his mood was almost sour. Not because of the other man with him, or even the move. Well maybe it was the movie. To be homeless like this just made him anxious. But what kind of anxiety was eating him? Maybe it was the plans he had made... But couldn't tell Nico, since it was a surprise. Whatever it was, he was trying to not let it dampen his boyfriend's spirit. Seeing him happy like this always put him in a far better mood. 

"You not even nervous?" He teased 

But a head shake. "Up to you, minx." A wink. "Whatever you want, babe. Even I wanna yell ." Though he was about to be yelling at the Rockruff, Kazzy, as he was plotting!

Unknown to him, was the pain in the ass Rockruff he owned about to make a while scene before them. The Rockruff in questions had spotted his target. Juvon. His tail stated to wag uncontrollably, butt in the air going to wiggle. "RYYUUUFFFF!" Off he went like a Rapdidash! Darting to go and pounce into the rodents tail.
