[attr="class","monty"]"I dunno."

It was a blunt answer, maybe one she didn't want to hear. But it was the truth of the matter. He held a hand out, a silent indication for her to stay back.

"Hold the eggs..."

Montgomery approached the grass slowly, not wanting to start an attack unknowingly. However, when he entered the long grass, he found that it was a small RATATA, which squealed at him and took off.

"Surely it's not just that," he muttered.

[attr="class","monty"]Montgomery didn't see or hear anything that seemed to want to rouse trouble around them. He was starting to think coming down here was a waste of time. It was a dingy old hut, after all. ARCEUS knew how long that thing had been sitting around rotting.

"Well, I guess if ya wanted to, we could always dig this thing up and get it outta here. I don't see it doin' shit around here. Unless ya wanna keep it for some reason."

Rustle. Rustle.

The sound was almost inaudible from the rumbling thunder ahead. But he heard it. His head swung toward the grass line nearby, not spotting anything particular. When he thought it was his imagination and turned his head back to Jethro, two blue vines shot out and wrapped around his ankles.

"What in tarna-"

Yank!

Montgomery was pulled into the grass, the air knocked from his lungs as he disappeared.

[attr="class","monty"]Montgomery couldn't tell if Navy was ballsy... or a psychopath. Right now, he was leaning toward the former, hoping that he was right to trust his sheriff's judgement. However, there were alarm bells ringing in his head, causing him to wonder if his cover hadn't been good.

Or, maybe it had been too good.

"How do you reckon that, Navy?" he asked, giving him a sidelong glance as he sipped from his glass again. "I don't think I've given any reason for ya to think I'm a cop hater."

Murphy should've been erased. He knew that ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ was. He wondered if Sheriff Navy had connections to Rocket intel.

"I understand. But how are your townspeople gonna react when ya announce a rookie is takin' a deputy spot? Are ya gonna tell them what ya told me? 'I think he hates cops, but he's strong!'"

He couldn't help but bark a laugh, taking the offered cigar and inhaling a puff of smoke. It left his mouth and his nostrils as he handed it back, leaning in closer and dropping his voice to a low murmur for only Navy to hear.

"And what if I hurt your little town, Sheriff? What will ya do then?"

[attr="class","monty"]He slouched over the tiny coffee table, a storm raging outside his apartment. The dull, yellow light was the only thing that gave him the ability to see the papers in his hands aside from the occasional bolts of lightning outside. The sea beside the port town of Driftveil City threw threatening waves against the beach.

The CLAYDOL levitated beside him, whirring in warning.

"I fuckin' know. Just give me a minute, okay?" His voice was sharp and annoyed, though his annoyance wasn't directed at his Pokemon's concern for him. It was that feeling of anxiety, nervousness building like the waves outside in his stomach and threatening to overcome him.

He didn't have much time left. It was now or never.

With scissors in hand, he began to cut through the paper. His name was chopped out. It wasn't like he'd been going by it anyway. Next, his mother. Then father. All important, traceable information was erased one paper at a time. He held the names, the numbers, everything in his hands.

"■ ■ ■ ■ ■," "■ ■ ■ ■," and "■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■" stood out to him. He sighed, stacking them into a pile onto the table.

"They're dead, anyway. So am I, I s'pose," the man muttered, taking a canister of fuel and dumping it over the table. He stepped away from it, taking out a box of matches.

Swipe. Swipe. Swipe. Fire. "Let's see how long they'll take to find out we've left. Let's go, Claydol."

He flicked the match onto the fuel. The paper went into flames, as did the table. He didn't stay around long enough to see his apartment burn, escaping into the night with his Pokemon as his side. It was time to go.

Fixing a cowboy hat on his head, Montgomery boarded the boat waiting for him. "Time to go to Hoenn."

He lives in a one-story home out in Petalburg, so it's easy to respond to calls should the sheriff need him. His home is styled minimally, as though he'd have to pack up and leave at any moment. There are a few decorations around, though they appear to have been left by the previous owner.[break][break]

His closet is full of police uniforms, casual wear, and his trusted hat. There's several pairs of boots lining the floor. However, further in the back, there's a safe full of PD and weapons, as well as his damaged papers containing his real identity. It's hardly noticeable in the dark corner it sits in, locked and secured. The only one who knows the code is Montgomery.[break][break]

He made sure to buy a home with a decent swath of land, to ensure that his Pokemon could roam and train. It also gave him the ability to train when he needed to. In a shed, there are damaged target dummies filled with holes and covered in black powder. They have clearly been used well and need to be replaced.[break][break]

A rocking chair sits outside the front door, where Montgomery often takes a morning coffee and cigarette. He wonders how long it will take until Rocket finds him.[break][break]

[attr="class","monty"]Montgomery, on the other hand, was on duty, patrolling route 123 to ensure that there were no stragglers causing any problems. The area gave off an eerie feeling. It was the perfect place to cause trouble, in his mind.

Mt. Pyre deterred people. Rocket operatives could concur here, if they were careful enough. Hell, he knew he'd be willing to come and perform his illegal tasks if he'd still been apart of the group.

So far, he'd only passed a couple of grievers leaving the gravesite ahead, offering a tilt of his hat as he passed them.

A woman was spotted ahead, not looking like a typical visitor of Mt. Pyre. Montgomery's suspicions were raised. "Howdy, miss. What are you doing along route 123?"

[attr="class","monty"]A silence fell between them, one that Montgomery didn't mind one bit. In fact, he was enjoying the rest of his cigarette, until she spoke up again. Well, at least the smoke was dissipating, the last of it burning to an end. He spat it on the ground, extinguishing it with his boot.

"Unova. Been here fer, I dunno, over a year now." And what a lonely year it's been.

"You seem thrilled ta be a ranger. You do know it's hard work, right? Not all sparkles n glitter n shit like that. Everything ya do, it's for a purpose. And if ya don't cut it..." He swiped his hand across his neck.

However, before he could go on another tangent, there was a rustling sound ahead. He stopped, suddenly becoming quite serious. "Ya hear that?"

[attr="class","monty"]In typical fashion, Montgomery threw his hat on his head, his hair trailing down his leather jacket as he meandered his way through Dewford Town. He's late: he always is. Somehow, he still has a job, though. However, he wondered what exactly got into Navy's head.

Why him? There were surely other folks in Hoenn, officers who'd been around longer than he had. Not to mention, Montgomery had quite the filthy past — of course, the sheriff wouldn't know that.

He entered the bar, waving off the keep as he mentioned he was meeting someone who was already here. His boots announced his presence before his mouth, offering a hand to Navy.

"Nice ta see ya too, Sheriff," Montgomery offered in greeting, sitting down when the seat's offered. He ordered himself a drink too, shrugging off his leather jacket.

"I guess you could say that. I have a knack for findin' myself in situations all the time. And Hoenn's one hell of a situation. It could use more help than Unova, that's fer sure." He grabbed his glass, which had been set in front of him, taking a swig.

"Sir, can I ask ya, why ya want me as yer deputy?"

[attr="class","monty"]"Well, I can't wait to see the look on yer ugly mug when I prove ya wrong."

It was like a scene in a Western, a showdown between cowboys. Montgomery peered at him with a serious gaze, all of his previous humor gone as his fingers lingered at the side of his hip. His thumb lightly caressed the button of his Poke ball, not pressing hard enough to activate it.

But it was there.

"I ain't need you babysittin' me. I'm a grown man with shit ta do. So fuck off, kindly," he said, raising his other hand to take out the cigarette and stomp it on the ground until it was extinguished.

Off in the distance, there was a slight rumble of thunder. Seemed they had a time limit.

Montgomery was the first to break stance, walking away toward the shrine. He looked over it. It's definitely seen its day and age, and a stone tablet inside was cracked and chipped. Wear and tear from the weather?

"Have ya seen anything nearby?"

[attr="class","monty"]It was a good thing she caught them, or else he'd probably not get the load out in the end. Huh, maybe he should've thought about that before he tossed them around like they were hacky sacks. Oh well, they didn't crack.

And then, she spewed on about the eggs, blah blah blah. Yeah, he really didn't care that much, as long as he could get back to the precinct soon.

"I doubt they think I'm their Pappy. I don't even look like some Pokemon, let alone sound like one," Montgomery drawled, stomping on the ash that fell from the cigarette.

"Ah, whatever. Let's finish this chore, aight?"

[attr="class","monty"]Jethro Haig's reaction was well worth any delay that he'd made. Even as the insults were thrown his way, Montgomery couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter, bending over at his hips as he tried to catch his breath.

"You could say that, I guess," he said, his grin growing more and more shit-eating by the second. "Decided it was 'bout time fer some change. Guess ya decided the same. If I didn't know any better, I'da thought you were followin' me. Ya sure yer not still part of the rangers?"

He waved his hands in the air, clicking his tongue in annoyance. "All they need ta know 'bout me is that I'm hard workin' and do my job. And here, I'm a cop. Got it?" A serious look crossed his face as he pointed his finger at the older man.

"I'm not here ta cause trouble or nothin'. All that shit's in Unova. I'm different, whether you believe it or not. I don't need yer fuckin' blessing."

Montgomery cocked his head, jerking a thumb in the direction of the shrine.

"Now are ya gonna let me do my damn job or what?"

[attr="class","monty"]"Dispatch, calling any available unit to investigate an abandoned shrine on farmland. Respond to the call ASAP. Over."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. I'll make my way over."

The static between the comms cut out once Montgomery ended the connection, sighing as he enjoyed the last bits of the cigarette he'd been nursing. His feet were propped up against the dash of his vehicle, his window rolled down as he was set to take the call.

But it could wait all of five more minutes, right?

So, he took his sweet time, discarding the used stick out the window once the rest of the addicting nicotine was inhaled into his lungs. Like a trucker, he had one arm out the window, providing an uneven tan from his uniform as he drove in the sunlight.

Fallarbortown was only ten minutes away, but this farm made it fifteen or longer. So the poor countryman waiting on him was probably gonna be bored to death of waiting by the time he arrived. Montgomery was certainly moseying at his own pace.

"Officer James. Got a call you found some sorta shrine out here, n I need ta take a look- well, I'll be damned." Montgomery stopped on his stroll toward the farmer, placing his hands on his hips. "Ole Jethro Haig. Who'd've thought you would be in this part of the world?"

Of course, Montgomery had no qualms trying to mess with the former ranger, despite their rather rocky history. In all honesty, he couldn't wait to see his face when he realized that it was him showing up for the call.

[attr="class","monty"]He almost didn't give her time to speak before practically throwing the basket in her direction. "Oh, thank ARCEUS! I was abouta explode haven to keep up with these things!" Montgomery boisterously announced.

It was a flip of a switch. His mood did a complete one-eighty from pouting along the trail to giving the girl a toothy grin.

"Well, now that the real ranger's here, we can take a break, Skarmory. Guess we're just guard duty now." He flicked a cigarette between his teeth and lit it with a satisfied sigh.

"They be wobblin' in there. I guess maybe reactin' to my voice, or somethin'. I dunno, I ain't the ranger here. I'm just a cop."
