"That must have been a little bit terrifying," Airi stated with some concern in her voice. Despite Shalin not being in any danger at the moment, Airi still felt her heart breaking for her at the thought of her new ally passing out on a swift and powerful Pokémon like Aracanine. "Well, at least you know to avoid them now, right?" She managed to ask with a half-smile curled against her lips.

Airi was about to respond to Shalin, when she felt a jet of water make contact with her face. She shifted her attention away from Shalin then over to the octopus-like creature. "Hey! That wasn't very nice!" She yelled out at the water-type. The Otillery's mischevious manner was a total a surprise. Bean immediately made eye contact with the octopus-like Pokémon, pounding his fist in an intimidating to warn the Octillery. The small water-type didn't seem to be too phased by the Swampert's appearance. In fact, it shot a blast of ink in Bean's face, making it extremely different for it to see it. The Otillery then extended its tentacles around Airi's legs, attempting to drag her underwater. "Hey! Let me go!" She called out, trying her best to fend off the Wild Pokémon. Bean took his powerful hands and attempted to wipe off the ink, but it only caused the stain to become even worst against his face.

A frown is shown over Airi's eyes, her deep blue eyes focusing in on the raging tidal wave of toxic waste heading their way. "Does this thing ever give up?" She questioned underneath her breath in frustration. She is grateful to have Navy and his Pokémon defend her. However, she cannot help but to start to feel as if she is quite useless at this time. Perhaps things would be a lot different if she possessed one of those mysterious suits, but she doesn't. She watches as the two brave souls' rushes towards the intimidating beast known as the mother of all decreased angels. Airi nods her head at Navy's request. Of course, she will continue to have his back; it is the least she can do. 

[break][break]

"Bean, you know what to do!" She calls out to her Swampert. The Swampert lets out a loud roar as he extends his powerful arms to create another forcefield to protect them from the tainted tidal wave. After the wave of ooze faded away, Bean would lower the barrier and prepare to deliver an offensive blow to the opponent. "Hydro Pump!" Airi called out to her sturdy Axolotl. Bean nodded his head before shooting a powerful jet of water from his mouth and in the direction of his opponent. The high-pressured blast of water splitting through parts of the ground due to its raw power.

Airi bit down on her bottom lip, hoping and praying that Bean's move will hit its mark in order to inflict a massive amount of damage to the oversized jellyfish-like creature.

Airi's deep sapphire orbs continues to focus on the mysterious man standing a few feet away from her. She feels grateful to see Haku is good health. However, she cannot let her guard down until the child's reunited with his mother. Therefore, she still needs to get the kid away from the suspicious man. She cannot order Geisha to attack him until Haku is out of the way. So, she will have to think of another way to take down her opponent and to assure Haku remains in good health.


[break][break]

Her eyes shift away from the white-haired male for a few seconds as she takes in the sight of the Mimikyu. Could his Pokémon be the one controlling the Drifloon? She wonders to herself. The miniature hot air ballon-like creatures hoovering eerily over the malicious puppet. "I do believe the Drifloon and Drifblim do not wish to cause Haku harm. However, I cannot say the same thing about you. If you really wished to return him, then you would have done so already instead of standing in the middle of the meadow contemplating your next move," she responds to his previous words with a stern expression shown over her fair face.

[break][break]

"I do not have time for this!" Airi snaps at the distrustful man. Geisha's low snarling following behind her trainer's words. A Drifloon parade? What is this guy up to? She thinks to herself, returning her attention back on him. Perhaps, he is planning to make a grand escape by distracting her. She will need to keep her guard up.

[break][break]

Airi would hate to admit it, but she found herself becoming slightly intrigued by the Drifloon and Drifblim parading around in the peaceful sky for a little while. Their movements were nonchalant, yet dauntinglike some type of a ritual. Her attention was soon taken away from the ghouls he second Airi took notice Haku running towards her. "Haku!" She reaches her arms out to pull the frightened boy inside of warm and comforting embrace. "You're safe now. I will take you home to your mother, but first I need to take care of this guy," she explains to him. The little boy nods his head before hiding himself behind Airi's body.

[break][break]

"You are out of your mind if you think I am going to allow you to escape," Airi tells him. Geisha had managed to use her nimble movements to sneak behind the stranger, blocking off his exit. "Tell me... Who are you and what are you doing in Lavaridge Town?" She asks him, expecting him to answer all of her questions.

Airi felt a little bit more at ease the second Shalin reveals that she has a fear, too. A fear of swift Pokémon. To be fair, she would have never figured that one out after watching her ride on a Talonflame's back. The red-hot birds are known to be quite agile in the sky. Airi soon found herself wondering what it would be like for Shalin to meet a Gym Leader with a huge heart for fast Pokémon. "Did you happen to fall from the back of a fast Pokémon?" Airi questions, wishing to know if it is the root cause of Shalin's fear towards Pokémon known for their superior speed.

[break][break]

"I appreciate the kind gesture, but I do not think it would be needed. It is not flying that I have an issue with, and I am not afraid of other Bug-types outside of bees," she responds to Shalin with a warm smile. She admires her willing to brainstorm a way to help her overcome her fear. Airi entire focus is on Shalin, she does not even bother to notice the water-types splashing around in the background.

A swarm of Orbeetle floats pass Cayanne in the dawn sky, causing the fire bird to glide out of their way to prevent herself from scorching them with her blazing body. Airi shifts her attention towards the sea of Bug/Flying-types. For a split second or two, one may mistake the peculiar beetles for aliens drifting down from space. Despite not being as elegant looking as Ledian, the swarm of Orbeetle are still an intriguing sight to behold. Airi smiles as she watches the Wild Pokémon fade away within the sky. before turning her attention back towards the path ahead of her.

Airi was taking her daily stroll around Lavaridge Town with her majestic Absol walking beside her when a middle-aged woman approached her with worry and fear reflecting through her warm chocolate orbs. "Captain Airi! I do not wish to be a bother, but I... I was wondering if you may have seen Haku wondering around town? He was supposed to go fetch some firewood, but he never returned home." The woman explains to her. Airi gently places her hand against the mother's shoulder, then offers her a sweet smile. "I do not ever want you to feel like you are a bother. It is my duty to help serve and protect all civilians. I will search for Haku, and I will bring him back home to you. Please try your best to get some rest." The Captain Ranger encourages the concerned mother. The woman wipes away a few tears from her fair face as she gives Airi a small smile as she hands Airi an item that belongs to Haku before walking away with her head held a little bit higher.


[break][break]

"Geisha, we must hurry. I am afraid that Haku may be in danger," Airi speaks to her Dark-type companion. It is uncommon for children to disappear in Lavaridge Town. However, Airi recalls a professor sharing a lore with her about Drifloon grabbing the hands of small children and spiriting them away. Airi positions the item by Geisha's nose, giving her a few seconds to focus on the scent. The Absol lets out a quick bark before sprinting off in the direction of the nearest forest area with her trainer dashing alongside her. 

[break][break]

With Geisha's superior tracking skills, the duo soon finds themselves approaching a clear, tranquil meadow area. The two come to a quick halt to scope out the scene. The bow-like horn above Geisha's head starts to vibrate, signaling to her trainer that a potential disaster is brewing. "We must be close," she whispered underneath her breath. A few seconds later, Geisha rushes towards another part of the area, with Airi following closely behind her. 

[break][break]

Airi's deep azure eyes widen at the sight of Haku, a ghoulish clown-like figure, and a horde of Drifloon and Drifblim not too far away from her and her Pokémon. She could not believe it! Drifloon and Drifblim stories seem to be true... But what does this eerie clown have to do with them? Well, at least Haku is safe... for now. "Get away from Haku! I am not going to warn you again!" Airi warns the mysterious man. Geisha's crimson's eyes narrowed at the man as she growled deeply at him as she waited to attack at any given moment.

Up ahead, the sound of powerful fists pounding against a boulder could be heard a few feet away from Airi and Lilac. Airi gives her enchanting horse a quick nod, encouraging her to follow the path that will lead them towards the loud noise. Lilac lets out a sigh neigh as she moves in the direction of the path. A few seconds later, Airi's deep blue eyes takes notice of a Makuhita demolishing a round boulder into small pieces. The rotund fighter lets out a cheerful cry as he raised his iron fist high in the air like a newly crowned champion. He eventually turns around and his eyes connects with Airi and Lilac. A panicked expression shows over his face before he flees from the scene in embarrassment. Airi giggles and shakes her head as she signals for Lilac to move further along the path. What an adorable scene to behold. Perhaps, this early morning hike will not be too boring after all.

"A big rat?" Airi questions him, more so to confirm that she did in fact hear those words escape from his mouth. She arches one of her eyebrows, then rests an index finger underneath her chin. The League made a request for her to accompany a private investigator on a mission. However, no other information was given to with her. "Well, species like Rattata and Raticate are known to nests in abandoned buildings like this one. I suppose it would not be too uncommon to find one here. It is possible that one may have feasted too much on berries and cheese," she adds, a soft giggles escaping from her pink champagne painted lips.


[break][break]

A gigantic mouse should not cause too much trouble, right? Then again, she probably would not wish to encounter one alone either. Especially not in a dark and eerie place like this particular warehouse. She kept her thoughts to herself as she continues to walk alongside Kyle. Ginger, her regal Delphox, walks closely behind them as she uses her enchanting stick as a torch to help illuminate the area, too. Airi's dazzling azure orbs glances over at the damaged property surrounding them. "Goodness..."

[break][break]

Airi shakes her head at Kyle as she moves closer towards the dents and scratches against the walls. "I don't know. These marks still look a bit fresh to me," she mentions, her keen eyes studying the markings a little bit longer until she felt a chilling shiver rushes down her spine. Ginger lets out a low growl as the fire coating the tip of her stick expands in size. "You felt that, too?" Airi asks her Pokémon, shifting her attention towards the Delphox. It is said that Delphox can see into the future by gazing at the flame at the tip of their branch.

[break][break]

"Reveal yourself! We can sense your presence!" Airi calls out to the being, who may be lurking in the dark shadows.

To be honest, Airi is not entirely sure what to think of the eerie man's words, nor is she too concerned with trying to figure out the meaning behind him. The only thing she wants from the mysterious man is for him to leave Mt. Chimney as soon as possible. He has caused too much damage to the Pokémon surrounding them, and she needs to focus on caring for them. 

[break][break]

Airi's sapphire blue orbs watched as the man's Lucario rushed towards her Pokémon with blinding speed. A small smirk curled against the corners of her mouth as she witnessed Lucario's elbow make contact with Cayanne's body. The blazing bird did not flinch, nor did she bother to dodge the attack with her own swift movements. Instead, she simply allowed the Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon to strike her chest. Immediately, a deep crimson glow surrounds her entire body as her body becomes too hot to touch. Flame Body. A unique ability is known to enhance the chances of an opponent becoming severely burned through physical contact against the target. 

[break][break]

Cayanne then lets out an ear-splitting screech as her whole body becomes engulfed in red-orange flames as she soars towards the Lucario like a raging missile. Gorgeous, shimmering flames spiral around her majestic form as she prepares to slam into her opponent with an overwhelming amount of force. Flare Blitz, her signature moves. Even if her Flame Body does not inflict a burn on her opponent's body, then her blazing charge will have an opportunity to carry its mission.

A slight frown appears against her fair face as she listens to his cold words. He is a defiant one, that is for sure. "I do not take being threaten too kindly," she tells him, raising her eyebrow at him. Truthfully, she never enjoyed the feeling of someone pushing her up against a wall. She does not wish to engage in a fight with him, but what else can she do at this point. Perhaps, she could use a status move around the mysterious man and his Pokémon. However, she is not sure if he has a Pokémon on his team, who may be able to counter her plan or not.

[break][break]

"What is your deal? You don't have anything better to do? Cowards use intimidation to as an excuse to make up for other traits there are lacking in, ya'know. So, what is it that you are missing?" she says, a small smirk curling against her ruby lips. She will not attack him unless he makes to first move to attack her first.
