Airi nods her head at Annalise's question. "Mhm, I've been a nurse almost as long as I have been a ranger," she shares with her. A lot of people would often ask her which career she enjoys the most and she will tell them that she loves both occupations quite equally. It is one of the reasons why she coined the title "Ranger Nurse." The position gives her the opportunity to protect others as well as to help rehabilitate them, too.

"Lots of paperwork, huh? I suppose that could become a bit tedious and even overwhelming at times, too," she says with a half-smile. Airi does not mind paperwork at times. In fact, she has to do her fair share whenever she does help out at the local hospital. Still, she refers the perfect balance of paperwork and fieldwork. Airi's soft smile soon fades at the mention of the meteor. It was a dark and traumatic event for Hoenn.

[break][break]

"That must have been a challenging time for you. At least you were able to do your best!" Airi says to her, flashing her with a warm and comforting smile spread across her painted lips. "It does not sound so bad being a captain. You know, you would make a great spokesperson to help more captains," she adds, a few soft giggles escaping from her lips. Annalise seems to have a way to make being superior not sound too intimidating.

[break][break]

Airi continues to care for Annalise's Swablu for a couple of more minutes before stepping away for a bit. "I think that relocating them to a new route should suffice. These two need some fresh air and a safe place to rest," she adds, walking back over to check on the other Swablu, who slowly seems to be feeling a little bit better. "Any ideas of where we should relocate them?" She asks the captain.

After completing the vitals, Airi's observation was confirmed. The surfer did not seem to be suffering from anything life threatening. "He is fine. He just needs to get out of here and get some much-needed rest," she reports to Navy. She carefully places all of her medical tools inside of her bag before standing back up to her feet. "Thanks for again for watching my back," She thanks Navy, giving him a warm smile. Latte also gives a slow nod to the valiant knight, thanking him for his protection as well.



[break][break]


Airi nods her head at Navy's words. She finds his words to be quite comforting, but also forewarning. Perhaps, he thinks that it is ludicrous that she wants to explore such a dangerous place. Truthfully, she might be a little insane for wishing to travel to those treacherous areas, but it is something that she needs to do if she does desire to become stronger.


[break][break]


Airi stops her mind from wandering off too far as she glances over at Navy and gives him a gentle smile. "Perhaps, I will have to see what my schedules looks like when I make it back to Rustoboro City. I have been pretty busy working part-time in the field and at the hospital," she tells him. It would be nice to take a break and focus on other things that will be good for her overall mental health. Either way, she has a feeling that this will not be their last encounter with each other.

[break][break]

"Likewise, Navy." She smiles at him. She then returns Latte back to her orb. "Until next time, Navy." She waves goodbye to him, trusting that he will make sure that the surfer will remain safe and sound until he comes back to his senses.

"You find that hilarious, huh?" Airi laughs along with Navy. She did not wish to insult him or anything along those lines and it is good to see that he did not seem to be too offended by her question. "Hmm, I see. That's an interesting way to describe it," she adds, taking a few seconds to think about his word choice. She did not bother to ask him to elaborate on his words. Instead, she decides to keep it pushing in order for them to focus on the task ahead of them. The sooner that the two of them can complete this rescue mission, the better.



[break][break]


Although, it does seem that Navy takes it upon himself to give her more of a clue of what he was hinting about in his previous remark. "Fair enough. Money and rewards can be quite attractive to some individuals. Especially, if those individuals are in dire need of it in order to support their family or other loved ones. Even if it is at the expense of their own life," she stated, lowering her stunning azure eyes down towards the ground for a few seconds. "But at the same time, someone has to do this kind of work, right?" She adds, lifting her up, then turning it towards Navy as a half-smile forms across her lips.




[break][break]


Latte notices the Iron Valiant approaching her. She watches him closely at first, but eventually greets him with a warm and welcoming smile. She senses that he has a courageous and chivalrous spirit. Therefore, there is no need for her to feel too uneasy about him being around her nor her trainer.

[break][break]

"Understandable. I have not been given the opportunity to explore any of those areas just yet. To be honest, it may take me a while before I am ready to explore such a dangerous place. That is not to say that I am not a talented trainer or anything along those lines... I am just more so used to providing support to my team, because of my medical background," she shares with him. Normally, she would not share too much personal information about herself, but she finds a little bit easier talking to Navy since the two of them have spent a great deal of time around each other in the last few days or so. "But one day, I am sure that I will be given the chance to explore those areas, too," she adds with a small smile.



[break][break]



"Welp, that did not take too long," she states, taking in the sight of the missing person not too far away from them. She allows Navy to focus on freeing him as she takes a couple of minutes to complete a quick body scan of him. Other than the male suffering from delirium, it seems to be in decent shape. However, she will take a closer look at him once Navy sets him free, then places him down on the ground. Airi kneels down on one knee as she takes out a couple of medical tools to check his vitals. Latte floating closely next to her, serving as her guardian angel.

"And apparently, you have a gifted tongue for sweet talk," Airi laughs, shaking her head at Navy's attempt to flirt with her a bit. It is not her first-time hearing someone mention that it is hard to find someone who is attractive, but also able to keep a decent conversation going, too. She understands the privileges of being a "pretty face" and she does not mind using it as an advantage at time. However, she prefers to charm others with her kind spirit, vivacious personality, and sharp intelligence. As much as she hates to admit it, outer beauty is not everlasting. If one only possesses beauty, what will become of them once it eventually fades away? "So, what you are telling me is that you are some sort of talent scout?" She asks Navy, arching an eyebrow at him. Perhaps, there is a lot more to Navy, then she thought.



[break][break]


Her piercing sapphire eyes, glancing over at the knightly Pokémon Navy summoned to accompany them on their adventure. At first glance, one could easily mistake the majestic Pokémon as a Gallade, but with a keen eyesight one will notice that this particular Pokémon seems to have traits of both Gallade and Gardevoir. If she has to form a hypothesis, then she will say that this valiant knight has to be one of those Paradox Pokémon that she has seen Navy use quite often. "Another Paradox Pokémon, right? A noble knight, nonetheless. Do you know of a secret location to find these rare Pokémon?" she asks him, genuinely curious to hear his response to her question.




[break][break]


The Iron Valiant reminds Airi that is not safe to be traveling through the "dungeon" without a guardian of her own. She retrieves a solo orb from the belt wrapped around her hourglass-shaped waist, summoning her beautiful and elegant Gardevoir. The serena Fairy Queen lets out a soothing cry as she locks eyes with Airi, Navy, and the Iron Valiant, giving them a graceful curtsy. Airi smiles at Latte as the Embrace Pokémon floats over to her side with confidence and sophistication that reflects that of her trainer. Airi shifts her attention towards Navy. "Oh, great. So, this place is nothing compared to the Deep Sea," she giggles.

Airi nods her head at Navy's words, her cornflower orbs staring down intensely at the power spot. She takes a few seconds to recall her first experience inside one of these mysterious vacuums. The pictures of the injured trainer, the gigantic fire lizard and the raging wildfires flashing inside of her head. She could feel her heart fluttering with excitement and nervousness as she comes back into reality. Their last rescue mission was quite the success, so this one should not be any different. She pulls out a tube of her signature rouge lipstick, carefully painting her full, luscious lips with it before sliding it back inside of her bag. She gently massages the product into her lips by slowly rubbing them together for a few seconds before turns glances over at Navy and gives him a cunning smirk.



[break][break]


"If I did not know any better, I would start to believe that you are the one, who keeps requesting me to join you on these escapades,' she laughs, her alluring orbs connecting his eyes for a moment. She wonders if Navy ever experiences any nervousness about exploring the power spots, or if he is simply used to them at this point. Since she has meant him, she has labeled him as a man with a brave heart, but even the bravest Pyroar experiences some uneasiness every once in a while. She stretches her limber and Junoesque body as she prepares to make a leap inside of the power spot.




[break][break]



With little hesitate, she makes a swift and graceful leap into the pool of darkness. Like a poised Liepard, she lands on her feet and takes a couple of strides forward. "So, this is the other place that you were telling me about, huh?" She asks Navy, her keen eyes taking their time to observe the environment. A cool shiver rushing down her entire body. Goodness, this place is a lot darker and disturbing than the last one. She thought to herself.

The cool shower of rain pours over Airi's body, soaking her figure-hugging ranger uniform and causing it to embrace her goddess-like curves even more. The water droplets kissing her fair skin delicately, causing it glisten like a diamond. Despite her dark chocolate hair becoming slightly weighed down by the downpour, her rose painted lips never smeared thanks to the waterproof lipstick coating them. She retrieves Latte's Poke Ball, returning her back to her orb to protect her from the rain. She turns her attention towards Navy and gives him a quick head nod along with a bright smile. Once again, the two of them managed to work flawlessly together to save another life.



[break][break]


The downpour soon fades away after all of the flames have been extinguished from the "battlefield". "Thank you, Navy. If you haven't noticed by now, I am not a woman, who is afraid of a good challenge," she responds back to him with a cunning smirk curled against her luscious lips. Cream soon lowers herself from the sky and down on the ground next to her trainer. "Great job," she gently pats the Dragonite on her head. The Dragonite lets out a cheerful coo before affectionately nuzzling her trainer's head. Like most Dragonite, Cream possesses a calm, gentle spirit until she is provoked, or her trainer is in danger.





[break][break]



"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I believe that we've had enough for today," she agrees with Navy statement regarding leaving the hazardous place. She watches Navy summon two of his horses. She takes notice of the Rapidash's ghostly flames, then shifts her attention towards the other mount, who appears to be a lot eerier than the Shiny Rapidash. At this point, she should not be too surprised by Navy's collection of rare Pokémon, yet she still finds herself becoming slightly intrigued by them.



[break][break]


"Thanks for the offer, but Cream will do just fine," she smiles at Navy, climbing onto her Dragonite's back before it takes flight in the air. The Dragonite does not hoover too far away from the rest of the group, so that Airi is still able to communicate with them without having to strain her voice.

[break][break]

"But alas you have learned to care for yourself and that is all that matters," she tells him. Her azure eyes connecting with his darker orbs for a few seconds. "I am sure that we can make that happen, just as long as it will not be too traumatizing to you or anything," she adds.

A lot has been weighing heavily over Airi's mind for the past few days as she reflected on a few words that one of her friends said to her. She did not know how to decipher it or anything, but she felt like he was trying to warn her of something that will arise in the future. She did not have any major plans today, so she chooses to venture outside of Rustoboro City and make a quick trip to Petalburg City to help her to clear her mind. She stood in front of the lake, her deep azure eyes staring down deeply at her reflect as she finds herself becoming lost in her thoughts. Luckily for her, the trance did not last too long before a loud splash sounds off in her ears and she notices a stream of ripples distorting her reflection. She glances away from the ripples in the water, turning her attention towards her Swarmpert, who had decided to take a quick dip in the lake. She giggles and shakes her head at him before lowering herself down to the ground a bit, then removes shoes away from her feet, so that she can allow her feet to rest in the cool and refreshing water.


[break][break]

Immediately, she feels her entire body starting to relax a little bit more as she closes her piercing blue eyes and takes a moment to practice some of her deep breathing techniques. Everything seem to have been going fairly well... However, all good things must come to an end, right? The serene environment soon becomes ruined by a loud, boisterous buzzing sound coming from up ahead. Airi swiftly opens her eyes, then stands up on her feet as she tries to determine the source of the noise. Suddenly, the noises grow even stronger, and her dark brown hair starts to whip around her body as the source of the noise moves even closer towards her.

After enjoying a nice lunch at a rather fancy restaurant in Mauville City, Airi made a decision to venture off to explore the luxurious apartment complex known as the Mauville Hills. Her deep sapphire eyes carefully taking in the sight of the beautiful landscape and sophisticated building surroundings the area. If she ever considered moving to Mauville City one day, then perhaps she would want to live here, too. The fair-skinned maiden continued to admire the scenery as her stylish kitten heels rapped against the concrete floor and cute, mini skirt swayed from side to side with each step. Up ahead she notices a group of small children running around and chasing behind their Pokémon. She could not help, but to giggle at them. She remembers when she was young and full life not being too concerned by the troubles of the world. Sometimes, she wishes that she can just travel back in time relive though innocent years.

[break][break]


Airi's eyes soon catches the slight of small booth with beautiful flowers decorating it, feeling intrigued she walks towards them. An older gentleman greets her and asks her what she thinks of the precious flowers. She takes a moment to sniff them, enjoying the soothing and sweet aroma coming from the flowers. "They are absolutely gorgeous, and they possess a lovely, sweet scent," she smiles, closing eyes her eyes for a few seconds as she gives them one last sniff. She then prepares to take a few steps away from the booth, accidently bumping into someone in the process.


[break][break]

"Oh, no! I am so sorry! You are not hurt, are you?" She asks, turning around to face the person that she accidently bumped into a few seconds ago. Hopefully, the other person will have a forgiving heart and not be too upset with her.

To be fair, Airi has never been a huge fan of Bee Pokémon after almost being stung by a colony of Beedrill as young girl when she was trying to pink flowers to make a crown for herself. Luckily, she was able to make a swift escape from them. Airi was a little hesitate to accept this particular mission due to her fear of Bee Pokémon. However, she wishes to overcome her fear and what better way to do it, then to face them, right? Besides, Combee are not known to be as aggressive as Beedrill. Perhaps, the smaller bees will not pose too much of a threat to her.

[break][break]


Airi shook her head, watching Silvi's Infernape attempt to shoo away the buzzing Combee. So far, the Combee are being rather peaceful and welcoming towards them. However, she is not sure how much longer that will last if the fire monkey continues to wave his massive paws towards them. "Yeah, let's not upset the Combee, please," Airi requested, her sapphire blue orbs glancing over at Silvi and his Infernape. She then turns her attention back towards the bees, not wishing to keep her eyes away from them too much longer just in case the colony does decide to make a quick move to sting any of them.

[break][break]

Airi chuckles at Silvi response to her previous joke. "As if... Although, I will admit your company isn't too bad. You can be quite entertaining at times," she tells her, a cunning smirk spreading across her full rouge lips. She did not mind admitting to him that she does enjoys spending time with him. Of course, it is only fair that she also teases him a bit, too. She moves a little closer towards him, allowing her shoulder to brush up against his shoulder in a playful manner. "Don't get caught slipping or else one of those Combee just may decide to give you a taste with their stringer," she teased him, giving him an eye wink.




[break][break]

The moment the bees decide to turn their attention away from Silvi and over to Airi, it is like the colony sucks the playful spirit right out of her soul. A panicked expression is soon over her face as she comes to a halt and fights back the scream that wants to escape from her mouth. Ginger senses her trainer's emotions and swiftly comes to her rescue by waving her fiery wand around in the air to warn them off. A deep sigh of relief escapes from her mouth as she watches the bees fly away from her. She then glanced over at Silvi, parting her lips to make a comment about his previous remark before he pointed out the swarm of bees flying deeper into the woods. "Oh, look at you are taking the lead of a sudden," she giggles a bit as she realizes that she likes to see him take charge. Without another remark, Airi and Ginger followed closely behind Silvi and his Pokémon.

Airi smiles and nods her head at Annalise's response to her reason. It is pleasing to her to know that she did not bore the captain with her long-winded reason. "Believe it or not, my family plays a huge role in career. My mother was also a nurse and similar to my uncle, she also taught me a lot about how to love and care for Pokémon," she adds, a warm smile gently spreading across her lips as she takes a few seconds to reminisce on some of the fond memories that she created with her beloved mother before her illness took over her body.


[break][break]

"Captain and Head Ranger? That is incredible!" Airi responds with excitement ringing through her voice and her eyes shimmered with admiration. It is refreshing to hear that a female ranger has been able to climb up the rank when it seems like the majority of the field is dominated by their male counterparts. "What has your experience been like as a Captain, so far? And how was it being Head Ranger?" she asks, a small smile curling against her lips.

[break][break]

"Ah, setting the standard for other generations in your family." Airi says, a warm smile still spread across her lips. "That is a perfect answer. It sounds like you are following your passion. When you are doing something that you genuinely love life, it does not feel like you are working," she adds. She has known some people to join the medical field only, because it pays well. Those people spend the majority of their time being rude to others and constantly complaining about their job.


[break][break]

Airi nods her head at Annalise and puts away her parasol. She then extends her hands out as the captain requested for her to do. She watches carefully as the psychic cat-like creature uses its special abilities to remove the Swablu from the rooftop and down to her arms. "Aww, you poor thing," she speaks gently to the Swablu, her dark ocean blue eyes taking a careful glance over the clouded bird's body. She slowly kneels down to the ground, not worrying about dirtying up her uniform as she then gently places the Swablu down on spot of grass that is not completely covered by soot. She gives the Swablu's head a soft pat as she closes her eyes and listens to its breathing. "Ill. If you watch, their bodies carefully and listen to their breathing you will notice them wheezing and struggling to breath a bit. The poor babies must have inhaled too much of the soot around them." She explains to Annalise. She takes a Poke Ball from around her waist to summon her Gardevoir, Latte. "Latte, use your psychic powers to create a shield around us to help protect the Swablu from anymore soot showering down on them," she orders her Pokémon. The elegant fairy queen nods her head before using her psychic powers to create a light purple forcefield around them to protect them all from the downpour of soot. [break][break]

"Alright, let's get them cleaned off then we will be able to treat them better," she then digs inside of her bag to pull out a dry-cleaning sponge for each of them. Without any hesitation, Airi meticulously start to remove the soot away from her Swablu's body until its original colors come back in sight. She then takes out a couple bottles of fresh water, handing one over to Annalise. She opens the bottle of fresh water to help hydrate the Swablu and assist it up opening up its airway. The Swablu lets out a soft, raspy chirp, appreciating the cool and refreshing water. Next, she Ranger Nurse sprays a special throat spray that she created from various berries and medicinal herbs that assists with healing both sore throat and respiratory problems. She sprays a couple of pumps in the Swablu's mouth before she walks over to Annalise's Swablu repeat the same step. [break][break]

A small twinkle of sadness reflects in Airi's deep ocean blue eyes as she listens to Navy share some of his experience with the other place that the League used to mine for dyna ore. "Yeah, sounds like it would make this place seem like heaven," she says, glancing over at him. "You are a courageous man, Navy." She tells him, an alluring smile slowly curling around her full, ruby red lips. Still, she could not help, but to worry about the older gentleman a bit. It must become somewhat lonely and tiring carrying the weight of the world over his broad shoulders. Protecting and care of everyone else, but who is there to protect and care for him. "The kind of work that we have to take on sometimes can be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. It is important that we do make time to care for ourselves, too. I do hope that you are making time to care for yourself,
Navy," she adds, her precious, cerulean, blue orbs staring deeply inside of his eyes for a few seconds before diverting away from him.



[break][break]


Airi and Latte continues to focus their attention on caring for the injured and disoriented trainer. It is not until Airi's keen eyes make notice of the other majestic beast that materializes from a crimson light, that she notices that Navy is facing off against a massive Charmander. Dynamax. She has heard amazing tales about the gimmick with roots from the Galar Region, but she has never witness it in person. The phenomenon itself is slightly intriguing, but quite terrifying, too. She glances away from the fight then turns her attention towards the strong, and regal beast using its unique powers to protect the rest of them. She nods her head and smiles at Gout, thanking it for its protection as she goes back to tending to the young trainer.





[break][break]



The once calm trainer starts to move around and panic a bit from the sight of everything else happening around him. "You are safe. I promise. Relax and we will be finished in no time," Airi encourages him using a calm voice, then flashing him with a comforting smile. The trainer continues to struggle with trying to move away from her and her Pokémon, but he eventually calms down enough for them to continue caring for him. Honestly, she could have easily become upset and frustrated with his antics, but she remains poised and professional. She could not even imagine just how stressful it must have been to experience visual and auditory hallucinations mixed in with the other madness happening in the background.



[break][break]


She finds herself worrying about Navy's and her Pokémon's wellbeing with facing off against the oversized Charmander. It is not that she doubts their ability to defeat their opponent, but more so along the sides of not wanting them to become severely injured trying to protect them. She desires to assist him with the fight. However, her sole responsibility at the moment is the injured trainer. A few more minute goes by before Airi and Latte manages to finish up with the stranger. Airi carefully helps him up to his feet and keeps him balanced by placing his arm over her shoulder. Although he is in better shape, she still needs to get him to a hospital as soon as possible to run some labs on him to ensure that he is perfectly fine or not.

[break][break]

"Mhm! Everyone is fine over here, but it looks like you could use a little bit of help," she states, watching the wildfires starting to engulf the place. His Greninja seems to be doing a decent job of taking care of some of the fires, but there is still a lot left to tend to or else everything will be burnt to a crisp. Planting her feet into the ground, Airi swiftly retrieves one of her Poke Balls from around her waist and tosses it high into the air. A gentle and majestic then Dragonite emerges from the orb. "Rain Dance!" The Dragonite swiftly performs a beautiful dance, causing dark storm clouds to appear above them. She lets out a loud roar and within seconds a downpour of rain falls from the sky.
