Play?

June looked over to the two pups and they looked more like they wanted to kill each other than play, at least her Poochyena did. ”Well if you say so.”

And this would probably tire out the Pokémon anyway and she would be free of its attitude and be able to just carry it home.

”Ugh just you mentioning the name gives me a headache. Yours still trying to beat the shit outta everything?”

When June looked around for the Growlithe’s owner she was surprised to see Dominic and waved back to him. ”We can’t seem to meet each other under normal circumstances.” She said with a sigh as she approached him.

Her Poochyena let out a yelp of pain when the Growlithe bit down on his tail but he figured that two could play that game. The pooch did his best to fling the Growlithe off of his tail, putting a lot of strength into it.

The pup would then go for a CRUNCH on the fire pup’s tail for revenge.

”Should we stop them?”

The Poochyena the Growlithe began to bark at face twisted, appalled by this other canine’s audacity to come up and start barking at him.

June was going to step in to try and break it up before anything could start but her Poochyena lunged at the Growlithe and the fight had already started.

”For fuck’s sake.”

June was in the park trying to get her Poochyena to be more of a team player with some battle training among her other canine Pokémon.

She figured they might be a good influence on him given how well behaved they are but it seemed to be having the opposite effect and instead of training the bratty mutt was lazing about.

”I swear one of these days I’m going to lose it.”

”Ya know those sound nice, cute even.” She was sure that much like Dominic alluded to it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows raising all those different types of canines but at least they didn’t sound like they had a secret blood rage dwelling within that would jump out at a moment’s notice.

June would look over to the two Kubfu and the destruction in their wake and by gods her Kubfu actually looked tired.

She took this opportunity to return the Pokémon back into its capsule before it could make a fuss about it and hopefully it just stayed in there.

”Little nightmare.” She said in a low growl as she looked down at the capsule.

”Again I’m really sorry about what happened but I think I should clean this stuff up and get heading back home. I think I’ve had enough “training” for one day.”

Brutal was definitely putting it lightly. And to prove her point the two Kubfus moved to the next dummy once the first was pretty much dust. What would an army of these angry little gremlins being released into a city look like?

A god damn nightmare that was what and now June was worried about how they were going to act when they evolved.

Maybe it was better that she avoided evolving her Kubfu for a while, at least until she got it under control. But there were definitely times where one couldn’t control a Pokemon's evolution and June prayed she wouldn’t get that surprise.

”A punishment as a prize, huh? What a fucked up way to congratulate people.” She scoffed as he watched the two Kubfu go at it. Watching at how easily and quickly went from one move to the next that a few of the moves were hard to see.

It was like they weren’t completely finishing one motion before moving to the next like she was watching them CANCEL one and move into the other.

It was impressive if it wasn’t also terrifying. She wished she had a camera or something to record their movements and slow it down frame by frame and see which was faster and took fewer frames, them attacking in this fluid rapid motion or more methodically.

Though it felt a bit obvious that in that scenario if you compared frames the faster fluid motion would have FRAME ADVANTAGE. But for now, she’d move her attention to Dominic, surprised by something he’s said.

”Raised litters of what?”

”Oh man that’s a relief!” June was glad she didn’t have to worry about a potential lawsuit on her hands, she really couldn’t afford going to court and if she went to jail because of this damn bear she was going to strangle it and give the court a real ass reason to send her to the cell.

When Dominic tossed the dummy away June’s Kubfu turned its attention to it, staring at it like a wolf about to pounce on unsuspecting prey. And to make matters even worse the man’s Kubfu gets loose and starts attacking the dummy.

And since it was attacking the dummy now June’s Kubfu had to attack the dummy and the both of them were going at it like a pair of rabid dogs.

”It’s like one second they’re dumb as bricks and then the next they’re killing machines. This makes no sense, that man should’ve warned us about this before giving us one.” June would let the Kubfu tire itself out before trying to return it.

She didn’t want to have the next time she let it out for it to be in attack mode.

”Yeah I’m really sorry about that. You're both alright, right?” June was just glad that it seemed like no one was hurt by her Kubfu’s mistake. She went to go take the dummy from him and noticed that the man had his own Kubfu.

”Oh no way you have one too?!” Just how many people completed that challenge and did they have as a stressful time that she did? Maybe he would be able to tell her how to get hers on board with what was going on but judging by the way he was carrying it and the look on its face she wasn’t sure.

Her own Kubfu walked over to the group, its gazed locked onto the other Kubfu. Not making noise or budging, just staring at it as if it had just found itself an eternal rival.

”Does yours also go crazy and destroy things? Half the time I don’t think mine’s even listening to me.” She recalled the other day where she was trying to train it again with dummies and it managed to knock one out of its posts but instead of it falling to the ground the Pokémon kept attacking it and keeping it in the air JUGGLING it.

The Kubfu that June received from the tower challenge needed to be trained and properly taken care of just like any Pokémon but even more so given that it was just a baby. A baby that could punch a hole through a boulder but a baby nonetheless, just one with the fighting spirit of an eager warrior ready to prove itself.

And because of that eagerness June decided to devote this entire day just to training it. They were going to hike up Mt. Chimney to a point where June had set up some training dummies for the Pokémon to whack on but it was having issues getting the hang of things.

”Okay, how to explain this.” She tapped on her chin with a finger. The duo was standing a bit off the normal path most people take up Mt. Chimney but one with enough space for them to do their thing. Surrounding them were training dummies June splurged for and her Kubfu looked up at her with great enthusiasm.

”I’ve got it!” She walked over to one dummy that was holding was a shield, grabbing ahold of said shield to get Kubfu to focus on that.

”Okay so during a battle when an opponent as their guard up this that makes it hard to hit them and do damage right? So you can either power through or you can bypass their guard with a CROSS-UP.” She stopped momentarily to step behind the dummy and give it a swift kick before looking past it at her Kubfu. ”Get it?”

And again it felt like her words were lost as it just gave her that look again and while it was cute she didn’t think it was getting what she was saying.

She sighed and was ready to just call it quits until the Kubfu walked up to the dummy and proceeded to kick it so hard the dummy flew off its post and went flying down the path.

”Holy shit!” She really hoped it didn’t hit anyone.

The question of what she planned on doing with the money rushed a flood of ideas that made June smile. She could go to one of those fancy restaurants and dine on some delicious food or maybe she could finally buy those boots she saw the other day.

And that’s when the word bills finally clicked in her head and her smile quickly disappeared and she hung her head in disappointment.

”I’ve got to pay rent and get food for these bloodsuckers.” She replied, the “bloodsuckers” being her Pokémon which she gestured to by pointing towards her Nidoking.

Which speaking of the Pokémon, the Nidoking decided it was time to let the big guns out and used EARTH POWER on the bus.

It looked like they did a pretty bang-up job of it so they might even get a nice bonus reward for a job well done.

June’s Nidoking tore through the bus like it was aluminum foil in its search for Lane’s Golem. Once it found the Pokémon it waited for a second for the Golem to try and calm down first before the Nidoking continued to tear about to make an easier path to then grab the Pokémon and carry it out.

”It’s all good. It probably should’ve just stayed on the outside instead of jumping into it.” June shrugged.

”Looks like all that flailing around and search for it did a good number of the bus though. Just one more good trashing and we should be done.” June added. And a good thrashing it would get once her Nidoking could manage to get the Golem out and safe somewhere else it could go back to mayhem.

”The payment might be my favorite part!”

The discharge released by the Golem thankfully didn’t reach either trainer and thankfully didn’t have any effect on Nidoking. But there was still the issue of the Pokémon being stuck in there so that had to be dealt with.

”Go help the Golem out will you?” June’s Nidoking was much more interested in continuing its destruction of the bus so it let out a sigh before going over to where the Golem crashed and trying to get the situation resolved so it can go back to smashing shit.

”No but that doesn’t sound like a bad idea for my big Pokémon.” It might have been a facetious comment but June took it completely seriously.

Given that her roster contained some massive beasts that were a bit more difficult to train than the smaller ones maybe she should give that more of thought in the future.

”Okay let’s start off with something easy like Double Kick.” June’s Nidoking would stomp over to the bus, size it up, and then give it two powerful kicks after it chose a spot to attack at.

They couldn’t let the scientist one-up them though with the impact that golem just made she wasn’t sure if it didn’t just keep going into the earth below.
