Sarah nodded her head, watching the snorunt greet her, she smiled and petted the pokemon affectionately “well hello to you too sweety” she smiled waving at the pokemon, she could only guess by the way snorunt was speaking that the pokemon was saying hello
The bug pokemon didn’t seem amused with pichu, the tiny rodent had settled on the back of the pokemon’s neck holding on tightly listening to it complain about her worries for Sarah’s mental health, pichu smacked the pokemon on the head with her paw “silent you infidel, mode of transport travel not speak, it’s your job to be my mode of transport, when I say fly, you say how high when I say rub my feet you say, with my hands or my tongue” She informed the bug pokemon.
Squirtle and charmander looked at each other dubiously, rufflet pulled on his own loose feathers while growlithe left Sarah’s side and joined in on the fuss he laid on his belly beside brave watching the pichu commotion, the pup shook his head and was just glad the psycho pichu was fixated on someone else for a change.
Sarah nodded her head hearing Rachel speak “yeah, pichu’s an aquired taste…she’s a tyrant that you learn to love simply because it’s easier than hiring a hitman to take it out” she spoke with a smile, Sarah watched pichu continuously whack the bug pokemon on the head with his paw yelling in the pokelanguage.
Pichu decided enough was enough the pokemon started launching random thunder shocks towards all the pokemon choosing to narrowly miss them on purpose, “FEAR ME FOR I AM YOUR PICHU GOD, WORSHIP ME OR I SHALL SMITE YOU the pichu grabbed a bit of the bug pokemon skin pinching and twisting it to try and get the pokemon to fly her into the sky.

Now that the Vespiquen had said her piece, she was about to wander off, free-floating in the air when the Pichu had decided to jump back atop her head—this was something rather unprecedented, she’d already advised the Pichu against riding further on her head but nope, here he was again! Or was it she? Either way, the Vespiquen shook her head before giving a rather sheepish glance at all the other Pokemon who’d come to watch her plight; before getting the following words out, “How… how dare you order a Queen of my caliber around! I will not listen, much more bow down to your tyrannical wishes!” in a sibilant hiss; accompanied with a warning glare at the thing seated atop her head.
The Braviary could only sigh, before ambling over as fast as he could manage and then making an attempt to knock the Pichu off the Vespiquen’s head with one of his outstretched wings and then sighing, seeing as it was going to be a rather annoying problem. “Yeah, you got no right to boss ‘quen around, only Rachel can do—“ the avian trailed off before watching the Pichu apparently try to do something; it caused the Vespiquen to hurl some rather nasty barbs at the little yellow mouse a few moments later!
Over at where Rachel, her Snorunt and Sarah were getting acquainted, they then heard several yelps in PokeSpeak; most of it was issuing from the Vespiquen, while the Braviary could only shrug and roll its eyes skywards.
“Oy,” Rachel began, before sighing as she then said apologetically in Sarah’s direction, “Give me a moment,” and then headed towards where the Vespiquen was now trying to swat off the Pichu. “Uhhh, Sarah? Does your Pichu have a name?” she asked, hesitating before letting loose—the annoyed twitches emanating from her Vespiquen were rising at a steady pace; it wouldn’t be too long before the Queen-like Pokémon reached her anger limit and bucked the Pichu off…

Pichu continued to hold onto the vespiquen, she would refuse to cave in, growlithe who was watching the ordeal shook his head, he knew it wasn’t going to be pretty. Pichu heard the bug pokemon make a fuss and pichu smacked it on the head “Silence infidel it’s not your place to question me, only obey me” the pichu pinched it again, she didn’t intend on moving off this bug pokemon.
Rufflet watched brav sighing and trying to help out, the bird pokemon raised a wing to try and stop it I wouldn’t do that, Pichu will just get more out of control the best you can do is just go with the flow and wait until she tires out[/color]” the rufflet spoke, growlithe was actually in agreement with the bird pokemon.
Pichu looked back at brav and pulled on quen’s skin “Quen silence the disobedient minion pichu ordered. Sarah had finally noticed pichu’s tyrancy level increase, she frowned as Rachel was trying to swat pichu “I was going to call her hittler, but it was taken” she sighed. Pichu was actually enjoying herself evading the human’s swats thanks to her size Ah you want to play pokemon battle huh, well try this without further hesitation pichu let off a low volt thunder shock attack aimed at Rachel followed by an insane nasty cackle as she plotted destruction to all.

The Braviary could only shake his head; before shuffling around to poke at some of his tail feathers since they were all bent out of shape due to so much movement. “Oy, that Pichu needs a few lessons in manners, if you ask me,” he remarked with his best attempt at a withering glare at the little thing that was now trying to regally piss off the Vespiquen (who was most certainly not amused) that had already issued what was her…second warning? “Aye, I’m tellin’ ya, Pichu, you don’t want ‘Quen to get mad at you. You’re already on Strike 2, as it is,” he added with an indignant squawk before returning to the plucking and grooming of his feathers.
The Vespiquen’s temper was definitely thinning out; and it didn’t take too long before Rachel herself approached and made an inquiry about the name of the aforementioned tyrannical Pichu. “Well, that name’s interesting but it’s kind of taboo,” the purple-haired woman began with a smirk. “Oy, Pichu. Do kindly get off my Vespiquen, otherwise she’s going to sting you good,” she added—and right before she was about to make a swatting gesture in an attempt to knock off the little Electric-type, got zapped with an Electric attack! “Ack!” she screeched, feeling the jolt run through her body. “Does this little tyrant do that to you as well?” she exclaimed, reeling for a few moments after the little yellow mouse had zapped her to kingdom come.
“That really hurt, and that’s not nice,” she added in a chastising tone, indicating that the Snorunt had also been an indirect recipient of the electric-type attack. The Snorunt was now looking rather uncomfortable in her hands; and was now waving a tiny fist at the yellow Tiny Mouse after that instance, evidently displeased with the way its fellow cohort was behaving.

Squirtle and charmander were watching the ordeal, charmander raised an eyebrow, he had a feeling things was going to get ugly soon, afrer hearing brav talk about pichu needing lessons in manners charmander scoffed forget manners that rodent needs to be admitted for psychological evaluation the charmander spoke and growlithe chuckled. The foursome had seen brav trying to warn pichu, but they knew it wouldn’t make a difference the little tyrant wouldn’t listen to the voice of reason.
It only got worse when the swatting continued pichu’s thunder shock had struck the woman and even though it was low voltage it apparently still harmed her “DO YOU SEE, DO you see now what happens when you defy your god, I smite you with my all mighty lightning and that wasn’t even a fraction of my power the pichu yelled pointing at Rachel.
Sarah shook her head, pichu had such a talent for causing a ruckus and it appeared today would be no exception. The girl watched the egotistical pichu and as soon as snorunt was waving it’s fist at the pichu with the mood the rodent was in, it was about to get worse Pichu glared at the snorunt oh so the Christmas tree wants to fight huh, that’s fine here I come the pichu dived off the bug pokemon towards snorunt and Sarah shook her head as she pulled out pichu’s pokeball and recalled the pokemon into it’s home “I think you need a time out young lady” She spoke and put pichu;s pokeball away. Sarah looked at rachel and smiled apologeticly "uh sorry about pichu she's just a little enthusiastic" she spoke

“Shame we can’t directly talk to them without sounding like we’re repetitive,” the Brav began, sighing as he continued to ruffle at his feathers before finally deeming himself satisfied with the way they looked right now. “Although if it was possible, then we wouldn’t have this language barrier between ourselves and our human caretakers, am I right?” he added with a few squawks of laugher coming from his direction.
Over at where the Snorunt was now looking mighty uncomfortable, it then continued to wave its tiny fists at the Pichu and was just about ready to hop down from its comfortable perch within Rachel’s arms when a red beam of light shot out from Sarah’s hand; sucking up the Pichu as it vanished back into its containment unit.
“Thanks for saving me the trouble,” she remarked with an apologetic grin on her face; before looking over at where the other Pokémon were now looking absolutely relieved; the Pichu had been parked back in its containment unit. The Brav then let out a loud squawk before spreading his wings; and the Vespiquen then hummed rather amusingly—now that their ‘tormentor’ had been placed in the time-out corner, so to speak.
“What’s your plan? It’s getting a bit hot out here,” she remarked, fanning herself with her left hand—she was holding the Snorunt up with her right hand; who had now settled down for the rather comfortable ride. “If you know a way we can cool down, speak up now or forever hold your peace,” she added in a joking tone, looking around and then noticing that msot of, if not all of the Pokémon that were out of their containment units were basically just having a great time, now that their ‘tyrannical oppressor’ had been temporarily parked elsewhere.

Growlithe heard the bird pokemon spoke and nodded his head, he felt the same way at times, his human was a good one but she needed his guidance so much at times he could hear the bird sqawk in laughter “agreed, first thing I would do is to tell Sarah to ditch the rat Rufflet squawked, squirtle nodded her head and charmander petted squirtle’s back he knew how much she was uncomfortable around pichu.
Growlithe yawned again, the pup was in a sleepy mood today, now that pichu was out of the equation he could relax without worrying about a rodent fueled terrorist attack. Sarah heard Rachel complain about the heat and the coordinator smiled “Actuallty…Squirtle use surf attack and follow it up by an ice beam” Sarah ordered she looked at squirtle and the pokemon ran to the water causing the water to rise up high into a curve and created an ice beam on the surf freezing it whole. Sarah smiled the frozen surf was big enough to sit under “that should keep us cool” she spoke casually.
Sarah watched as squirtle slided down the frozen water and rushed back to charmander, the teenager sat under the frozen tide, she wasn’t worried about the heat no more thanks to the frozen surf blocking out the sun, sure it would slowly melt, but at least it would be refreshing.

The Braviary then looked at his younger counterpart—oh, he was taken back to the days when he was just a Rufflet himself. The Brav then approached the younger version of his current form and then squawked in laughter again. “I couldn’t agree with you more, little one. That mouse seriously needs to get his brain checked,” the avian agreed, before nodding and chuckling along with the Rufflet.
In any case, now that Rachel was reduced to fanning herself (and the Snorunt) she then looked up; blinking in surprise before seeing a cascade of water about to crash down on them—and it was then frozen with what appeared to be another attack.
The Snorunt in her arms began to wiggle and react rather happily, before the long-haired female chuckled and crouched down on the sand, letting the triangular Pokémon hop out of her arms and watched as the Pokemon then proceeded to rub itself up against the column of ice—which, surprisingly, wasn’t melting yet. I know that it’s hot out in Bayonada… I wonder how long this will hold up… she thought to herself as she then followed the Snorunt, who was now very pleased with itself seeing something that it was rather used to and snuggling up to the crest of frozen ice. “You made my Snorunt very happy, look,” she said in Sarah’s direction, pointing to where the little triangular Pokémon was now rubbing itself up against the cold, smooth ice, sighing rather contentedly.
“This is a rather creative way of cooling down… I wonder how long it would take before it melts back into water…” she pondered out loud, before parking herself near the Snorunt who was now literally enjoying the cold touch of ice, a familiar sight in an unfamiliar land.

Rufflet looked at his counter part and nodded his head you wouldn’t believe half the stuff that rodent does” rufflet spoke with a chuckle. Growlithe nodded his head in agreement with the rufflet, he considered rufflet to be a weakling but at least he wasn’t as crazy as pichu, growlithe had often contemplated why Sarah chose to keep pichu with her and not send her home, there were so many better pokemon that she could bring back like skiddo or zubat. To say the least.
The coordinator watched as snorunt wiggled and hop out of rachel’s arm and proceeded to rub itself against the ice, Sarah listened to Rachel and smiled sat under the ice“I honestly have no idea how long it will last, but once it gets too bad ill just have squirtle repeat the attack..and that way the ice will be even thicker by combining a new layer with this layer now.” She responded.
Sarah looked at the snorrunt, she was glad the pokemon was okay now “I am relieved that snorunt is enjoying itself, I had a theory that his shaking was because of a hyperthermia kind of reaction, maybe snorunt is not used to the normal climate, the heat maybe too much for the pokemon” Sarah leaned in to pet the snorunt she thought for a moment “Say rachel, I know your somewhat new with pokemon, if you like I am willing to teach you some techniques, coordination style…I could use snorunt and brav to teach them a combo move, then all you got to do is remember that combo” she offered, Sarah wanted Rachel to be strong and her pokemon too.

“I can already imagine,” the Brav commented at his counterpart’s reaction to what he’d said; he was legitimately curious as to how they managed to survive with the presence of a tyranny in such a cute-looking body. “How do you even put up with that crazy Pichu, is anyone’s guess. Thankfully, I’m the boss of Rachel’s ‘mons, and they’re not too rowdy. Well, not so much like that tyrannical mouse,” the avian continued, before reaching behind to a particularly annoying spot and plucking several more dead feathers from his plumage before letting them fall to the sand. The avian then chuckled in its own language, before looking over at where the two humans were now resting against a rather unusual-looking pillar of frozen water.
“I know I’m about to suggest trying to talk sense into her,” the Braviary began once more, before gesturing to the bluenette, and then continuing, “…but knowing them humans, they won’t understand a single word they say. Rachel here, for some weird reason, can pick up on my emotions slightly better than other people. I know not why, but it must be a thing…” before giving the Vespiquen a rather significant look and then shuffling over closer to where the cold pillar stood. Over at where the two humans were now talking, Rachel then heaved a sigh of relief, before chuckling in her Snorunt’s direction. “It might be a climate thing… I’d have to ask my Breeder friend about it for confirmation, though,” she began, grinning as the Snorunt was now literally rubbing itself all over the frozen pillar.
As to the bluenette’s offer of teaching a few styles, she was game for it. “If you don’t mind, then I give you full permission to do so. It might look nice, either way. Do you need to know what moves they can do?” she added, making sure that Sarah would stick to what they were comfortable with if at all possible.

Rufflet nodded his head at brav’s comment, growlithe heard brav’s comment “we put up with it, because of Sarah, even though pichu and Sarah butt heads a lot, Sarah adores pichu she doesn’t want pichu’s personality to be stifled…and as pichu is at the moment she is larger than life, I think Sarah is looking for a way to channel that onto the stage the growlithe responded still laying on his belly unlike the ice pokemon, he didn’t mind the heat.
Charmander was sitting beside the growlithe listening to brav talk about Rachel picking up on emotions “Sarah does that too[/b]” the charmander defended
Sarah smiled as rachel gave permission to use the pokemon she looked at the braviery and snorunt already thinking about combinations for them, she looked back at rachel “sure tell me what moves they know and ill come up with an ace move” she spoke with a smile, figuring out new combinations was always fun.

The purple-haired individual could only look at the crowd of Pokémon that were now seemingly talking amongst each other; what they were conversing about would be anyone’s guess; but she thought she’d imagined picking up a rather…irked twinge coming from the fire-lizard, or something? Either way, she then continued to observe her Snorunt, who was now lounging rather contentedly underneath the wall of ice, cooled down due to its close proximity with all the ice nearby.
“What moves… give me a minute, I know I wrote it down somewhere…” she muttered, quickly searching her pockets for the ‘cheat sheet’ that the white-haired guy had drawn up for her.
Knowing that it was going to be a bit of a while until she’d memorized the entire move sets of all of her companions, she’d decided to keep this piece of paper around until then. “Let me see…” she began a few moments later, pulling out a piece of paper with some handwriting on it and unfurling it to its full size.
“You might want to come over here to look, too,” she remarked in Sarah’s direction, before examining the paper. She noticed that asides from one move that her Snorunt had, it was all attacking moves; whereas for her Braviary, it was a perfect balance—if one could call it that.
“Okay, let me read it out to you… Sky over here knows the following moves: Defog, Tailwind… Aerial Ace, and Crush Claw,” she began, before scanning the rest of the paper until she found the listing for her Snorunt, and rattled off, “…as for Snorunt, this little one knows… oh, dear me. It’s all attacking mvoes with one exception.They’re Ice Beam, Headbutt, Spikes, Powder Snow… and Bite,” she finished, before showing the paper to the Coordinator, the better for her to get a general idea for the move combinations that she was probably formulating right now.
