When the Dwebble left the safety of his trainer after tugging his green pants, the Arcanine barked cheerfully and circled the duo type. It ran faster and faster and faster until the Arcanine became a blur of regular orange fur and beige fur. Its intent wasn't to confuse the Dwebble, but it was just having so much fun from that sugar rush. It stuck its tongue out to pant from running around aimlessly. However, the Dwebble smacked some senses into the Arcanine by firing a well-aimed rock. It was a surprise and a mystery how the bug was able to locate the correct Arcanine. Or was it luck? The rock smacked at the dog, causing it to whimper was the pain shook its system. Losing its concentration, a good number of the clones faded from thin air, but there were still decent number left. The other clones ran around it to cover the true Arcanine. The Dwebble's confidence was a successful, but can his confidence last until the Arcanine was defeated? Wild Encounter

Originally, Shinya had gone on this little side quest to protect his reputation, but now that he and his Dwebble were surrounded by a squad of Arcanine clones, he couldn't help but take stock. Admittedly, part of him thought that maybe this wasn't his best idea, and that he let his temper get the better of him yet again. However, the Team Skull grunt could barely even process those thoughts, as the other thoughts racing through his mind were much, much stronger at that moment. Still grinning his usual grin, Shinya couldn't help feeling a rush of his own, but his had nothing to do with sugar. Unless you count the sweet taste of battle, of course. Regardless, Shinya was in the zone, and Dwebble's successful attack only added to the high levels of adrenaline that were already pumping through his veins.
"Heck yeah! That's how ya do it! Choke on that, ya sugar-coated mutt!" The Bug type trainer laughed out loud, unable to contain himself, as all the memories of his greatest battles alongside his Team Skull brothers and sisters raced through his mind on a loop. This wasn't the first time Shinya had been surrounded and faced difficult odds, and while some might've lost the will to go on, situations like these only made the Alolan trainer wanna try that much harder to overcome those odds. Why? It was simple really. Because it would make it all the sweeter when he won the fight and knocked his foe right off of their high Mudsdale. To Shinya, getting to experience that feeling was better than any reward, and worth all the hardships in the world.
So, with a big grin, and plenty of determination in his voice, Shinya fought on, calling for a repeat of Dwebble's last move. "We got this, Dwebble! You're doin' great! Just one more Smack Down and this mutt will have to find a new mountain to call its own! Do it! End this now and send this scrub packin'!" Shinya's flame was burning even hotter than Arcanine's flames, which did well to stoke Dwebble's fire as well. "Dwebble! Dwebble! Dwebble! Dweb! Dweb!" It was almost as if Shinya's adrenaline was being channeled directly into Dwebble's body with every word, and the Rock Inn Pokemon wasn't about to let any of it go to waste. After a quick search among the remaining Arcanine clones, Dwebble believed that he found the real one once more, then let one more rock fly straight at it, using all of his power one more time.
OOC: Oh yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! C'mon! Just one more!

When the Arcanine saw that the Dwebble was preparing for another Smack Down, it got agitated. The sugar loaded canine barked menacingly and charged toward the Dwebble with flames engulfing its entire body. It was surprising the fire type took so long to use this move again after the part rock type was summoned. Dwebble dropped the rock, and buried inside his boulder for safety. When he felt the heat subsided, the Dwebble conjured another boulder and hurled it toward the Arcanine apart from the clones. The rock smacked straight ahead, knocking the Arcanine unconscious. With no energy left, all the shadow clones disappeared. Soon enough, the Arcanine fought through its unconsciousness, and fled from the scene immediately. Those were some delicious snacks while it lasted. Dwebble clicked victoriously as he had avenged his fallen friends. A Kecleon came out of hiding and camouflage, and headed toward Shinya, with a bag of the Kalos special ingredient on its hands. The Pokemon had a look of remorse on its face, and signs of beaten by the Arcanine, no doubt. The Color Swap Pokemon genuinely returned the ingredients toward Shinya and the Flygon. The Flygon roared angrily at the Kecleon thief, but it did not react to another battle. Perhaps it had learned its lesson, as the sweets were too good for stealing, and not worth the trouble if it attracted more powerful thieves like Arcanine in its hideout in Mortimer Hills. Perhaps if Shinya brought the Kecleon along, it would go to the bakery to apologize to Adrien too. Alternatively, the trainer can just bring the returned package along, and leave the Kecleon in its hideout. Wild Encounter

As soon as the wild Arcanine hit the dirt, Shinya's grin grew in size, as he threw his right fist in the air and shouted as loud as he could. "HECK YEAH!" Clearly, the Alolan trainer was extremely happy with this outcome, glad that this battle didn't end up dragging on for any longer than it had to. He quickly celebrated this victory by kicking another nearby rock at the Fire type while it was down, then spat on it was well, finally followed by one last round of mockery. "Chew on that, ya mutt! That's what happens when ya mess with Team Skull! Now, get outta my territory! That's right! This is Team Skull's turf now! So, beat it!" Shinya watched triumphantly as the Legendary Pokemon picked itself up and limped away, leaving this hill for what would probably be the rest of its life.
"Dwebble! Dweb! Dweb! Dwebble! Dwebble!" Dwebble also celebrated this victory in his own way, smacking his claws together several times and raising them high above his head, demonstrating his power to any and all Pokemon that were watching nearby. Even though he was a Rock type, this was still quite the accomplishment for the Rock Inn Pokemon. True, his fellow Bug types helped out a bit, but he defeated an Arcanine in a head-to-head battle. Needless to say, Dwebble was very proud of himself, and so was his trainer. With Arcanine gone, Shinya turned to face his Bug/Rock type, shooting him a grin as well, followed by a round of praise. "I gotta admit, Dwebble, ya surprised me today. I actually thought that battle would take a lot longer, but ya came through like a champ. I'm really proud of ya."
Dwebble was very happy to hear these things from his trainer, looking up at him with a big smile spread across his face, taking a minute to fully appreciate this moment. "Dweb. Dweb. Dwebble. Dweb." The Bug/Rock type thanked Shinya for his words and assured him that he'd always be ready and willing to do it again if the need ever arose, waving his right claw at Shinya as he spoke. The Team Skull grunt was happy to hear this too but could also see some cracks in Dwebble's stone shell that had formed during the battle, remembering that Dwebble could fix it on his own with enough time to himself. "Yeah, I know. Thanks, Dwebble. Your confidence is greatly appreciated. Now, take a breather and remember to patch up that shell of yours." Shinya recalled Dwebble back to his Net Ball for a very well-deserved break, but his work on this hill wasn't finished just yet, as he then turned his head to face the wild Kecleon that had finally come out of its hiding place.
At first, Shinya was ready for another fight, but then lost his grin and was surprised to see the thieving Kecleon return what it stole and give up all on its own. Raising an eyebrow at the Color Swap Pokemon, the Bug type trainer was a bit skeptical at first, thinking that this was a trick. Still, never one to back down from a challenge, Shinya slowly reached for the bag of sweets, snatched them from Kecleon's claws, then placed them into his bag with the others he got from Arcanine. "So, you're just givin' up? Well, there isn't much fun in that, now is there?" Admittedly, Shinya was disappointed, since he was actually looking forward to teaching this Kecleon a lesson after dealing with Arcanine. However, as Adrian's Flygon appeared on the scene, a new thought crossed Shinya's mind, as he suddenly grabbed Kecleon's tail, picked the Normal type up, and threw it over his shoulder.
"In that case, you're comin' with us, ya little upstart. Not sorry, but I gotta do somethin' to show the people of Johto that Team Skull means business. If I just let ya go, people are gonna think that I failed to teach ya a lesson. So, as much as I'd love to let one of my Pokemon beat ya to within an inch of your life, you're gonna come back with us and face the music. Not as much fun, but it should still get the point across." The Team Skull grunt explained his motives while keeping a good hold on Kecleon's tail and climbing onto Flygon's back once more, holding onto Flygon with his free hand once he was on the Mystic Pokemon's back. "Alright, Flygon, let's go. I'm sure the cook is still waitin' for us down there." With that, Shinya gripped both Flygon and Kecleon, not wanting to fall off or drop Kecleon during the flight that was about to occur.
OOC: I'll pass on having Dwebble learn Slash. Thanks.

Kecleon only cowered and barely stared up at Shinya as he spewed his hurtful words at it. In truth, the Color Swap Pokemon wanted to smack the attitude and taste right out of Shinya’s mouth. It could feel the adrenaline pumping in its veins as emotions swelled inside of its chest and mixed together. Kecleon felt guilty for stealing the stuff from the bakery, scared of Shinya and his team’s capabilities, and angry at the way Shinya talked smack to it like it didn’t have a single bone in its body. “Kecle kec. Kecleon leon on on kec! Kecle on cle!” It tried to argue with Shinya, explaining how he just couldn’t understand how hard its life actually was, until Shinya yoinked Kecleon up by its tail and boarded Flygon on its back. Flygon turned its head towards the strange normal type and pointed one of its sharp claws towards the strange lizard. “Fly?” It asked Shinya, making sure that the trainer was sure he wanted to bring this passenger onboard as well. “Flygon fly fly. Gon fly?” It continued, explaining that it didn’t mind either way. Then Flygon asked if Shinya was planning to make Kecleon pay for its crime by bringing it back with him. Once boarded and all passengers were confirmed, Flygon would zip through the air with ease. They soared so high that Shinya’s feet could touch the clouds underneath them. Though Flygon was careful to keep an eye on Shinya, to make sure the high altitude wouldn’t hurt him too much. Once they landed, Adrian rushed to them from his bakery clapping his hands wildly. “It’s great to see you again! And it looks like you’ve caught my troublemaker? Does that mean you’ve managed to retrieve my bag of chocolates?” Adrian asked expectantly. When Shinya would confirm this to be the truth and hand over the bags, Adrian would pull out some small heart-shaped sweets and hand it over to Shinya easily. “Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate all your efforts. Please, take these Heart Sweets. They are super delicious and make a wonderful desert after a hearty meal. Plus, if you share them with a man named Vernon in Ecruteak, he can help tutor some useful moves to your Pokemon.” Adrian added with a wink. Now, the question remained would be what they should do with the troublesome Kecleon that Shinya had brought back… Adrian is super appreciative of Shinya's efforts!   He gives Shinya x3 Heart Sweets as thanks. |

To put it into terms people who didn't know Shinya could understand, Shinya's temper was a lot like a minefield. One wrong step, or word as the case usually was, and you'd find yourself on his bad side. And unless you were a very strong wild Pokemon or trainer, that was definitely not a place you wanted to be. Ever. And when this Kecleon declared that Shinya didn't know how hard its life was, it had unfortunately stepped directly onto one of the mines in that field. Not even bothering to let the Normal type finish speaking, Shinya stomped one of his feet on the ground with so much force that the sound of the impact echoed out in all directions over the hill. After that, the Alolan trainer looked down at the Color Swap Pokemon with a facial expression that would cause even a Gyarados' danger sense to go into overdrive.
"So, ya think ya know what rough is? Ya don't know the first thing about rough, upstart. Now, I suggest ya shut your mouth, and do it fast. One more word outta ya, and you'll wish that Arcanine had finished ya off before I got here. Get the picture?" Every single word that came from Shinya's mouth was laced with bad memories, personal experiences on the matter, and a level of fury that would make even a Tyranitar blush. If there was one thing that Shinya didn't like one bit, it was whenever anyone, be they human or Pokemon, claimed to have a harder life than he did. Of course, he knew that there were probably at least a few people and Pokemon in the world that truly had it harder than he did, but he didn't know any personally. Regardless, the Bug type trainer picked up the wild Kecleon by its tail, climbed onto Flygon's back, and held on tight. All without even bothering to wait for an answer from said Kecleon in regard to his question.
Thankfully, Shinya was good at calming himself back down fairly quickly whenever his fury was awakened, regaining his composure and giving Flygon a nod before answering the Dragon/Ground type's questions. "Yeah, I'm sure. I've got my reputation to think about, Flygon. And this is the best way to keep it safe. Trust me. By the time we're done, this little upstart won't be stealin' from the cook, or anyone else ever again." The Team Skull grunt sounded pretty sure of himself, giving Flygon the best reassuring grin he had in his repertoire, even though he wasn't really used to turning fellow criminals in at all. One thing he was used to though was the altitude that Flygon chose to fly back to the bakery with, maintaining his grin as they soared over the clouds, with the wind blowing through Shinya's hair. Kecleon, on the other hand, looked even greener than usual, and like he might be very sick at any moment, which Shinya enjoyed, snickering a little.
Even though Team Skull didn't really make use of them all that often, Shinya had still gotten plenty of opportunities to make use of the famous ride Pokemon that the Alola region was known for, taking Charizards on joy rides into the skies above his home region every chance he got. However, given Flygon's level of speed, this joy ride came to an end far sooner than any of Shinya's previous joy rides did. Once they were on the ground, Shinya jumped right off of Flygon's back once again, and faced the chef as soon as he approached them. After that, the Bug type trainer grabbed Adrian's bag of sweets from his bag with his free hand, then held out both the sweets and the thieving Kecleon towards him, one in each hand. "You got it, cook. I got your sweets, and the thief that tried to make off with 'em. You're welcome." Shinya than handed the sweets over to Adrian, and dropped Kecleon on the ground, but still kept it from escaping, as they still had yet to reach a verdict for its crimes.
But before that, Shinya was pleasantly surprised to receive a reward from the chef for his efforts. At first, the Alolan trainer was planning to just eat them himself, still wanting a snack to munch on while traveling along the route out of Violet City, but he quickly dismissed that idea as soon as he heard Adrian mention Ecruteak City and a man named Vernon. "Huh. No kiddin'? Well then, I think I'll save these for later." Shinya tucked the Heart Sweets away into his bag, then looked down at the Normal type Pokemon in front of them once more. "Now, what to do with this one?" After taking a few minutes to think up a fitting punishment for the thief, an idea appeared in Shinya's mind, as he turned to face Adrian once again. "Hey, hear me out. Since you've got Flygon there, I'm guessin' you've got a few more Pokeballs layin' around, right? Go grab one."
Shinya waited for Adrian to run back into his bakery and return with an empty Pokeball, then quickly snatched it from him once he did. Once that was done, Shinya tossed the empty ball down at the wild Kecleon right away, figuring that the Color Swap Pokemon's fear would be all it took to make the capture a success. And he was right, as the ball stopped shaking almost immediately. With that, the Team Skull grunt bent over, picked up the red and white sphere, and returned it to Adrian with a new grin upon his face. A more compassionate one. "Here. It stole from ya, but now it works for ya. Put it to work. It clearly likes sweets, so it'll probably make at least a decent addition to your business. Either way, it's your Pokemon now, so it's your call. Later."
With his work finally done here, Shinya turned and began making his way out of Violet City, heading south towards route 32. Still, some had to wonder. Was what Shinya just did really a punishment? Or did he just help Kecleon out? True, Kecleon was no longer free, but it did have a roof over its head, a safe place to live, new friends, and a trainer that would likely provide all the sweets it could eat. As angry as Shinya was at the Color Swap Pokemon, he also knew better than most what it was like to live a hard life. So, having finished his good deed for the day, Shinya made a quick stop a local convenience store to grab himself a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels, then took his first steps onto route 32, enjoying his sweet treat as he did. But would this trainer turn out to be sweet or sour in the end? Only time would tell.
