The munchlax blinked having not expected such big reaction to its bottle and fire combo, it looked around worried that it couldn't see Wimpod anywhere and its eyes widened when it saw the fires which were still glowing here and there in the dark. Granted, it wasn't much and they didn't look like they spread but Munchlax didn't know much about stuff like that, it just knew that fires could spread and really cause trouble for other pokemon. "Munmunchlax!" it exclaimed and ran to a tuff of smoldering grass nearby, spread its arms wide as it jumped into the air and then slammed down on it belly first to put out the fires. If the grass had had it bad before, it certainly wasn't better now, but of course that was not the gluttonous normal type's goal, fire could burn down its whole stash! It waddled to a bush which got the same treatment as the grass before, which snapping all its branches and leaving a pathetic stump and the ground covered in blackened leaves. A few was still smoking a bit so the munchlax resolutely stomped on them until it stopped. It didn't notice Sizzlipede at first but it scratched its back when he bit it and looked over its shoulder. "Oh! Hey, have you seen your friend around? He was small and grey, and seemed to be rather cold but he ran off when I..." It trailed off it got a closer look at Sizzlipede, his striking colors, and especially the fiery eyes and yellow "moustache" combined with the darkness made it look like he was very much on fire. "Oh no! Not you too!" The normal type exclaimed and promptly turned around and with its arms spread wide slammed down on top of poor Sizzlipede and squished him into the soft, soggy ground. It wiggled on top to make sure all fires would be put out before it stood up to look closer at the fire bug with a worried look.

As the Bug type partners in crime watched Munchlax try desperately to put out the fires that had done little more than provide some much-needed lighting to the area, Sizzlipede found himself growing even angrier, and therefore, hotter as a result. Truly, the Radiator Pokemon didn't like it when others put out flames, even if he didn't create them himself. "Hey! Hold up, fatty! What do ya think you're doin' there?! Ya forget about me or somethin'?! Well then, I guess ya won't mind if I do this!" Without an order from his trainer, Sizzlipede glared at Munchlax, then spun himself into a red-hot Flame Wheel, then proceeded to roll all around the clearing as fast as he could, spreading the flames as much as he was able. As a result, Munchlax's efforts to extinguish these flames were quickly overtaken, as the flames grew even larger and spread further too.
Still, the cold temperature and icy conditions of the area kept the flames from spreading too far. And even if it was possible for them to spread far and wide, Shinya wouldn't allow it, calling out to Sizzlipede in a firm tone of voice and reminding him of their main objective in this battle. "As always, I like your appetite for destruction, Sizzlipede, but try to cool it down a bit, would ya?! We're here to steal any and all rare items from the glutton's stockpile over there, which is gonna be kinda difficult if it all gets burnt to ash!" Fortunately for all parties involved, Shinya's voice was more than enough to get the Bug/Fire type to calm down, as he slowly powered down his flames and came to a stop a few seconds later. He may not have liked it at that moment, but Shinya was right, and no matter how much he enjoyed burning stuff, he didn't wish to let his team down at all.
Unfortunately, as soon as Munchlax body slammed him, all bets were off, as the Big Eater Pokemon felt a growing, blistering heat on his belly, as he laid on top of Sizzlipede and attempted to put out his "flames". The second Sizzlipede was free, his glare towards the Normal type was so intense that it looked like it could easily burn a hole straight through a wall of steel from several yards away. "That's it! Now you've done it! Ya stupid, disrespectful, overweight, piece of garbage! I'll burn ya so bad that it'll take ten years for ya to regain your lost calories! If ya somehow manage to live that long, that is!" All the ice around him melted, all the resulting water evaporated, and all the grass beneath that burnt up in a matter of seconds. Clearly, Sizzlipede was way beyond angry now.
Not only that, but no matter how much Munchlax acted like it didn't actually feel any of his or Wimpod's attacks, Shinya could see the truth. The wild food hoarder was on his last legs, and Sizzlipede's blistering fury was all they needed to finally end this battle and much, much more. With his trademark grin returning to his face once more, the Team Skull grunt took full advantage of the situation, calling for what was shaping up to be the final attack from his furious friend. "That's right, Sizzlipede! Make 'em regret what it tried to do to ya! Use Bug Bite once more! And make sure that this glutton really feels it this time!" Even in his enraged state, Sizzlipede heard his trainer's voice loud and clear, bringing his body down, before jumping up straight at Munchlax like a spring. The Radiator Pokemon was heading straight for Munchlax's face, letting out a very loud battle cry with his blazing jaws bared, ready to strike the final blow, and cause some serious injuries to the Big Eater Pokemon as well.

One more hit does it. The munchlax was so busy trying to put out those flames that it wasn't prepared to be hit again by the angry fire-bug. BAM! Out cold. As it laid there, the last of the embers faded out and Shinya could investigate the remaining spoils. It was...food. Nothing especially valuable here. Sure, there was a few bottles of liquor that were pilfered and other odds and ends, but it was mostly just stuff one could find at any ol' grocery store or pantry. If Shinya was looking for something more valuable than a snack, then he wouldn't find it here. Maybe if he took what was here back to that ranger he could get a reward or something to make this whole escapade worthwhile? Not like the food itself was really anything of note, and bits were scorched or sticky from the battle. As he investigated, the munchlax sat up and rubbed its head. Then with big eyes, it stared at Shinya <I'm sorry... You seem really upset... I guess... the food did belong to the humans. You can take it back. I won't fight you any more and I promise I won't steal any more! I was just...so very very hungry... and the food smelled really good.>
Wimpod gained +650 exp for participating! +1 happiness
Sizzlipede gained +650 exp for winning! +1 happiness
Return to the ranger with the stolen food?

Once the Big Eater Pokemon was down for the count, Sizzlipede started to calm down, while Shinya snickered, heading over to the wild Pokemon's stockpile to finally take a closer look at it. Now that it was unguarded, Shinya had all the time in the world to see what his winnings would be for this little side quest. Unfortunately, it was mostly just regular food. And some of it was even half eaten. Seeing this, Shinya's grin disappeared right away, in favor of a more irritated facial expression. "What's the word, boss?! What did we win?!" Sizzlipede turned and called out to his trainer, curious as to what their winnings for all their efforts tonight would be as well.
"Wish I could give ya better news, Sizzlipede, but it's just a bunch of junk. I've seen garbage dumps with better stuff to offer. And I should know. I practically live in one back home in Alola." The Team Skull grunt answered his Pokemon with an accompanying sigh of exasperation, but then started to gather up some berries that still looked fresh and didn't have any bite marks on them. "But whatever. Maybe if we take some of these berries back to that ranger guy, he'll have somethin' better to offer us as a reward." As he loaded as many berries as he could into his bag, Shinya eyed one of the remaining bottles of liquor, getting a rather devilish idea and a smirk that perfectly matched said idea.
Grabbing one of those bottles, the Bug type trainer opened it up, poured the contents all over the remaining food items, then poured some more on the ground as he moved away from the stockpile. Almost like a fuse leading to a bomb. Once the bottle was empty, Shinya tossed it aside, then informed Sizzlipede of his plan. As soon as this devilish plan reached the Radiator Pokemon's ears, he began to smirk and snicker a bit himself. "Oh yeah. That does sound like fun, boss. Let's do it." However, before they could put their plan into effect, both Shinya and Sizzlipede heard the sounds of Munchlax rousing from his slumber, turning to face the Normal type and listening to what it had to say.
"Woah there! Settle down, fatty!" The Alolan trainer suddenly cut Munchlax off, before continuing to speak and offering his two cents to the gluttonous Pokemon. "First of all, I'm not upset. I'm always like that durin' battles. Secondly, I don't give a damn whether ya keep stealin' food from people or not. Just as long as ya don't steal from me. Honestly, I've stolen a lot more than just food from people and Pokemon over the years. I see somethin' that I want, and I take it. Simple as that." As he spoke, Shinya and Sizzlipede turned away from Munchlax, starting to leave the clearing it called its home, but not before Shinya said one more thing to the food thief.
"And thirdly, ya might wanna get clear. Do it, Sizzlipede." At his trainer's command, the Bug/Fire type snickered some more, throwing off a small spark that headed straight for the trail of alcohol that Shinya poured on the ground just a few moments ago. The second it made contact, the trail burst into flames, headed straight back to what remained of Munchlax's stockpile of food, and the whole thing quickly caught fire as well. And as soon as the flames hit the other bottles of liquor, the whole thing went up in a big explosion that dwarfed the one that Wimpod got caught up in earlier. Said explosion echoed throughout the entire forest, as Shinya and Sizzlipede continued to leave the area and search for the Pokemon Ranger, not turning back to watch their handy work unfold, but still chuckling out loud for a good five minutes as a result.

Munchlax could hardly believe it had lost; none of this would have happened this way if it hadn't been so hungry, after all. It was practically wasting away, it thought, it could almost feel its ribs if it poked through the stores of fat on its sides. The Munchlax was still reeling from the injuries it had sustained during the fight with Shinya, and thus could only look on in surprise and horror as Shinya did much more than just take back the ill-gotten goods. "You...don't care about the stealing? But isn't that wrong?" the Munchlax squeaked, looking on in horror as what remained of its stash went up in flames. Munchlax toddled towards the flaming wreckage of the foot stockpile, though stopped short a few feet away from the flames. The heat had become too much for it to handle, and it couldn't risk going to salvage what it could without risking injury to itself. As much as it wanted that food, its own desire for self-preservation and fear of further injury prevented it from doing anything. Overwhelmed by pain, and stress, and heat, the Munchlax fell onto its butt and began to sob. Tears stained its burnt fur and the sound of wailing mixed in with the noise of the roaring flames and Shinya's echoing laughter. Shinya would find his way back to the Pokemon Ranger, now looking rather panicked and talking to someone over his PokeGear. "What do you mean the forest is on fire? Crap, I'll gather some Water-types and be on my way!" he barked into the PokeGear, suddenly noticing Shinya's arrival as he ended the call. Sighing and rubbing the back of his head, he noticed the boy returning with a bag of mostly-quality food. "Sorry for the abruptness, but there's some sort of emergency fire in the forest going on. I'll return the stolen food stuffs to the people after this fire is dealt with, but I didn't forget about your reward. I'll send someone out to collect that Munchlax now that it's been pacified, too. We can maybe relocate it to somewhere it won't get into as much trouble."He would take the recovered fruits and berries from Shinya before reaching into his own coat pocket, retrieving a small bag of chocolate hearts not dissimilar to what Shinya had seen once or twice before in the past. The rare Pokemon delicacies were handed to Shinya, and the Ranger rushed off with a hurried goodbye. Running into the distance, the red-clad Ranger rushed off to solve the problem that Shinya had caused, unaware that the culprit he would no doubt go looking for later was right in front of him. But Shinya could wander off with his head held high and a bag of Sweet Hearts to reward a job evilly done. Shinya received x3 Sweet Hearts for completing the Quest!

After walking through the forest for a good fifteen minutes or so, Shinya and Sizzlipede finally managed to locate the Pokemon Ranger that sent them on this little side quest in the first place. However, before approaching him, Shinya once again made use of his bad habits and decided to eavesdrop on the ranger's Pokegear call. Hearing that the forest was on fire, and seeing the ranger's panicked reaction, the Team Skull grunt decided to quickly call Sizzlipede back to his Pokeball before making his presence known to said ranger. Although Shinya had picked fights with authority figures plenty of times in the past, he really didn't feel like risking getting arrested at the moment. Once that was taken care of, Shinya finally approached the lone ranger, holding up the bag of berries he retrieved from Munchlax and playing innocent. "Hey there, ranger! I got somethin' for ya!"
From there, the Alolan trainer passed the bag of berries along to the ranger and listened as he frantically spoke about his plans for dealing with both Munchlax and the newly formed forest fire. Fortunately for Shinya, after so many years with Team Skull, he had one heck of a poker face. That said, it still took him more than a little effort to keep from chuckling at his handy work. Thankfully, a distraction came in the form of small bag, containing three very delicious and very valuable chocolate hearts. "Oh, heck yeah! Now, we're talkin'!" Shinya eagerly accepted his reward from the ranger, grinning big down at the bag of sweets in his grip. With this, his Heart Sweet total was brought up to six, and he had some very big plans for these rare and delectable treats.
Shinya then watched as the ranger headed off into the burning forest, finally allowing himself to chuckle, as he tucked his reward into his bag for later use. "Tch. Idiots. Once again, Team Skull comes out on top. Next order of business, cross the Ilex Forest." Indeed, that was Shinya's next course of action. Crossing the dense, nearly impenetrable, and supposedly haunted Ilex Forest of Johto. But before any of that, he had to find a peaceful place to spend the remainder of the night. Preferably a place that wasn't on fire or crawling with law enforcement officials. So, deciding to try and kill two Pidgeys with one stone, the Bug type trainer headed towards the Ilex Forest itself, arriving at the edge of it, finding himself a comfortable-enough spot under a large tree, then laying back with his hands behind his head, closing his eyes, and finally calling it a night.
