"It's that way with most new Pokémon," Shalin explained. "Thankfully, Queen Zing was a sweetheart from the moment I caught her as a Weedle. Jet is your Taillow's name, I think you said? The little one is enthusiastic, if anything; seems like a good trait for a Contest Pokémon to have. I'm not really in the Contest scene, though...so I wouldn't know for sure."Shalin shrugged when she heard Jae advertising her content. Not unusual at all; she just didn't follow content creators much. "How about I take a look at it if we go out to eat together? I'm usually away from the city more than I am in it, so I just don't get much of a chance to watch things like that. I hope you succeed, though; I've heard of all the work that goes into it." Queen Zing crawled forward so Jae could climb onto her easily if she wanted. "Oh yeah, do you have earplugs with you? You might want them."
At the very least, Aki seemed far better trained. "Great," she answered when Jae announced her destination. "I've ridden a lot of Pokémon, but I've never been on an Absol before. If she's okay with it, of course..." Shalin trailed off, unable to finish her sentence. --- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 216} {PC: 5}

"That's how it is with anything," Shalin couldn't help but laugh a little. "You can't expect any Pokémon to warm up to you immediately. Sure, it helps when they're a sweetheart like Queen Zing was to me, but not all Pokémon are that way. Caprice still hasn't warmed up to anyone but me." The golden fire-type's tails waved up and down, both from the light breeze and her own muscles moving. As if proving a point, Caprice reared, then leaned on her front legs momentarily to kick her rear legs very high into the air. Even Shalin would have gone flying over the Ninetales' head if she was up there. The quadruped's antics woke a nearby Snivy from its sleep, fleeing down-trail from what it thought was an upset Pokémon. When questioned about the earplugs, Shalin smiled. "You'll be sitting between two wings at least as big as you are, and they're flapping over a hundred times a second. It's to keep you from going deaf." As long as Aki was okay with it, Shalin carefully climbed aboard the Absol, gently directing her around the local part of the trail to get an idea of what controlling her would be like. "Ready when you are, Jae!" she called out to her traveling companion. If she liked watching Queen Zing just on the ground, she would be mesmerized when the giant bee took off. --- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 216} {PC: 6}

Though Shalin was excited to be atop a Pokémon she'd never been on before, she remembered Aki wasn't her Pokémon. She couldn't be too wild with her or she would lose Jae's trust, as well as Aki's trust. She wasn't going to take off after her Pokémon without some kind of thrill, though. "Hey Aki, can you rear up for me and take off after them please?" she asked, yanking back on the reins to "help" her do just that. Speaking of Jae, she seemed to be having an overly good time hovering over the mountain trail, thanks to Queen Zing. Unlike her smaller counterpart, it took a good amount of time for her to gain all of her mobility - her wings have to get up to speed. That might have worked out better for the guest rider, what with how enchanted she was watching them. By the time they got moving enough to carry the two at a good clip, the wings were vibrating so fast that they looked like white blurs. If she was filming them through her phone, it might have looked like the wings were blinking in and out of the picture like a strobe light. It would probably take Jae a bit of getting used to the tingling that resulted, but the wild child was confident she would love it after getting used to it. After traveling for a few more minutes, Aki suddenly stopped and turned her head as best as she could to face Shalin. She leaned to see Aki's face the best she could, and caught the Absol's deadpan look. "What is it?" She looked in every direction except straight down the trail, where the Oricorio were dancing. --- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 289} {PC: 7}

One minor detail had slipped Shalin's mind; while Caprice was no stranger to bucking and thrashing riders, especially at her trainer's command, Aki was a very new ride Pokémon, and probably wouldn't see it coming. When it took the Absol a bit to react to Shalin's sudden and sharp pull, the realization hit her. She didn't have time to dwell on it, though; she was about to feel a fierce Absol buck! The adrenaline rush was on as Aki flailed Shalin back and forth in the saddle. "Whoa, you got some power in you!" she cried, letting out another yelp as her mount thrust upward sharply. The Absol wasn't playing around either - with her forehead blade reflecting light as brilliantly as a mirror, she was genuinely angry! The wild rider was too lost in joy to realize it, though. Simple thrashing not being enough to unseat the girl, she was going to need to catch up to her trainer one way or another. Figuring Aki wouldn't listen to the reins anyway, Shalin focused only on holding onto the Absol the best she could. She rounded a corner by overshooting it as much as she safely could, then leaned the other way and sharply thrashed Shalin once more, shifting her weight to slide back the other way to correct her trajectory. "Yeow!" she let out a cry, the momentum from the slide combined with the quick bucking causing a muscle to stretch a little too far. Aki repeated the sliding thrash right in front of Jae right as she had finished catching the Oricorio. The wild child was able to brace herself a little more now that she saw it coming, but she still winced at the Dark-type's powerful thrust. "Whoa! She's...a...strong one!" Shalin managed between breaths. "So fun...though!"--- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 302} {PC: 6}

Shalin was still catching her breath while Jae was introducing her new followers to Aki. By now, the rest of her Pokémon had caught up, Caprice shaking her head in disbelief. She couldn't hop on another trainer's Pokémon and expect it to just go crazy like that! The Absol didn't look very happy about it, though Shalin couldn't see the Dark-type's facial expression from her perch. While she was tempted to coax Aki to buck and thrash one more time, since Jae had clearly missed the show, she didn't want to make her friend's Pokémon more upset. She repeated to Jae the gist of what she said about how strong Aki was, and that she nearly threw her rider off. What strength! "You didn't see that? We were here the whole time! Not gonna lie, I kind of want an Absol for myself now." As the two rounded a big corner on the trail, Cerise City's tallest buildings were in sight, albeit barely. "Hey, look over there!" she pointed toward the mountain skyline. "Jae, it's a straight shot...I kinda wanna see how good of a runner Aki is!" She gently pat Aki's head and turned her attention back toward the red Absol. "Mind showing me your Quick Attack?"--- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 212} {PC: 7}

halin noticed Aki's delayed response in her nod; she could tell there was a little bit of reluctance in the Absol getting up to speed. To help reassure the shiny Pokémon of her riding skill, Shalin buried her hands in Aki's fur and leaned a little lower on the Absol's back. "Alright, let's go!" she cried, using her knees to jab at Aki's sides for speed. As the weather started to get slightly warmer from the two heading down toward Ceries, Queen Zing started zipping back and forth across the trail. A barely-teenage girl and her Cottonee ducked for cover as the menacing Pokémon bumbled about the mountain road with Jae in tow. Queen Zing extended both her foreleg stings straight forward and nodded to try to warn Jae of a speed increase on the downhill leading to town. Once the gate was in distant sight, her wings roared loudly, the Beedrill's body no doubt rumbling harder than before. Thankfully, Queen Zing was smart enough to hover high enough to give Aki and Shalin space - the blade-headed Pokémon briefly disappeared from view during the Quick Attack Shalin requested. The rider let out a loud, triumphant cry, seemingly having the time of her life aboard the Absol. The two Pokémon tried to keep pace with one another down the road to Cerise. --- Jae Tsukuda NAME SPECIES LV EP Queen Zing Beedrill 11 2 Caprice Ninetales 13 3 Flit Yanma 8 3 Kiku Stunky 11 3{WC: 225} {PC: 8}
