Clerval, Clancy's Pikachu, held onto the base of a lightbulb, generating a small current of electricity to test it.
So far, as Clancy tried to change some out of of order hall lights, he'd discovered 2 dead bulbs, but thankfully, this bulb was working, and thus, the Pikachu scurried up the step ladder to hand it to the red-head.
"Y' know... I think I'd prefer bloody plumbing..." Clancy muttered to himself.
Changing all the bulbs that out gone out was kind of tedious, going from room to room to find and replace each one. At least the electric type made it slightly easier than it might have been.
Clerval shrugged and scurried back down the ladder to lean against a nearby wall.

"Can't you just turn on the lights to check them?" Lex questioned, walking slowly into the hallway and peering upwards. "Seems a bit inconvenient to be doing it the way you are." He grinned brightly.
"And why would you want to do the plumbing?" He ran his hand through his hair, careful of the ity bitty black joltik that was perched in his curls.

"Cuz, this way, I only hafta bloody change the things once instead of goin' up the ladder, screwing them in and back out and going down again and such... Ol' Clerval there spends no effort at all doin' this..."
Clancy responded without looking at first, happy to come down the ladder and move onto the next light again.
He looked over before he grabbed his ladder and frowned.
"You, uh... Ya got some sorta bug in your hair; ain't lice is it?" He cast a suspicious look at Lex.
"Anyway. Plumbin's what I usually do 'round here; 's what I'm good at. Not this 'leccy stuff; that's just a bit o' accrued know-how, you see?"

"I'm trying to figure out how that saves time, but I'm not an electrician.. or a plumber. " Lex replied amused.
"Sunny is a Joltik, and he's classified as a mite pokemon not lice." Lex rolled his single good eye at Clancy, the replacement still. "You wouldn't really be able to see if it was lice at this distance." Weirdo.
"Nope, I don't know."

"Cuz all he has to do is bloody touch the things; I'd have to screw them in and out, and climb up and down the ladder; saves some flamin' minute's is all..." Clancy replied, as though it was perfectly obvious.
"Well I dunno, do I? Y' got a bug in your bloody hair, lice are bugs that live in hair... Figured maybe it was a bloody great big 'un or summat. A 'Joltik', eh? What are they all 'bout?" It wasn't one he'd come across before.
"Eh, well. Now ya do."
Clerval was looking a little amused while Clancy grumbled at Lex; he clearly thought the red-head being wound up was rather entertaining.

"And you look like the rather unfortunate offspring of a pair of friends of mine." Lex replied, snarkly, looking over the slick back red hair and white streak. "It is a bit disturbing, and against the laws of nature." Star and K.O and just no. Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!
"Joltik, the mite pokemon, is one of two pokemon that are the smallest in all known types. An Electric type, these tiny pokemon are known to cluster around wall sockets to sip the electricity generated." Lex replied, straight face. "These pokemon are mainly yellow, with purple feet. Sunspot here is melanistic, his pigmentation is off."

"Oh, I doubt you know m' parents... Travellin' types but they don't exactly make friends past one night o' social drinking unless your some kinda bloody scientist... 'Gainst the laws of nature kinda sounds more like the kinda jobs they're into on some level though..." He mused, apparently not offended, or at least, not very offended, by Lex's statement, though he did then turn to look Lex up and down... Maybe Lex -was- a scientist; he'd used the term 'melanistic' after all...
"Aye? Well keep the creepy little bed-bug 'way from me light sockets then, eh? Last thing I need is that thing sucking the life out of the electricity supply or whatever the bloody thing does. I don't care what kinda bloomin' pigmawotsit it's got on or off. Just you make sure it leaves the bloody power alone..."

Just perhaps, he might check in on Kirk and make sure that he had not been taken advantage off to make a odd kid. Just to make sure, like the good sort of friend he should be and while some things didn't match up it always paid to be careful. And inform people of potential mini mes.
"I make no promises." Lex replied.
Sunspot fumed, crawling slowly down his trainers hair to the shoulders. He was going to shock this rube to next sunday. Tik,tik,tikkkkkkk.

Clancy frowned a little.
'No promises' hadn't been what he'd wanted to hear at all; this was an electric-type bug as well, so he couldn't even make the threat of a 'bug zapper' or anything.
"Well it'll be me who'll hafta to bloody fix whatever it breaks!" As long as whatever broken wasn't high security, top secret stuff... "Or, pro'ly me anyway, so keep it from bloody breaking stuff, right? 'Sides, you'd only have th'wrath of the higher ups on you if you let your bloody Voltix go about breakin' stuff..."
He ignored whatever the 'bed bug' was doing; though Clerval noticed it and smirked.

"Jolt, not Volt." Lex said, eye gleaming slightly. It was sort of fun to round this guy up. "And I'm not worried about him breaking things, least not the building. Now him going around, stalking you and sapping the charge out of your electronics for calling him a creepy little bed-bug." He shrugged.
Sunspot clambered down his trainers arm and webbed down on the ground.

"Oh, like it knows what I'm even talkin' about! I know they understand commands, but come on, d'ya really bloody think something with a brain that damned small is gonna have any inkling I'm even talkin' 'bout it?!"
Clancy didn't even seem to have noticed the bug was on the move as he set about moving up the ladder to replace the next bulb.
Clerval shot a frown at his trainer, and then silently cheered the Joltik on.

Lex paused watching the tiny little mite determinedly marching across the floor and then looked at Clancy. He thought about Aulus's charizard serving tea and his crobats fondness for stealing from delivery boys and snort. "They're not stupid. I wouldn't trust them to understand neuroscience, but insults? Yeah. Pretty sure he got that part."
Tik,tik,kkkrkrkk rose up and for such a tiny little pokemon, Lex was sure that none of it was polite.

Clerval laughed out loud; though of course, to humans, it just sounded like 'Pi, pi, pi, chu, chu!'.
He decided he liked his fellow electric type, and he certainly wasn't going to step in or stop him from badmouthing his trainer. Well, unless Clancy told him too, of course; he prided himself on obedience whether he liked the guy he'd been assigned to or not.
Clancy shook his head.
"Neuroscience pokémon; now there's a hellishly bloody scary thought..."
He frowned and turned to look at the bug that was... chittering away.
"Now what does it want? Is y'r bug defective? It's singing at me..."

"That is not singing. Pretty sure he is telling you off." Lex mused, watching the tiny little thing nearly vibrate over the tiles in his rage. A forceful TIK range out and the tiny mite sparked, electricity banding across his legs.
"Think he wants to shock some manners into yah." Lex offered, glee clear in his voice as he attempted to keep from laughing. "Might want to apologize."

"Oh, sure he is. Maybe he's just bein' bloody aggressive and you need to train him a lot bloomin' better, eh?" Clancy grumbled, turning his back on the Joltik again.
"Apologise? I ain't apologising to no flamin' trumped up little hamster-bug..."
