Razalin Tess did not much like this place. She was far from as spoiled as Teivel. The thought of it... the thought of it was just unfathomable! The young woman didn't readily admit she wasn't spoiled at all, though. If she could have, she'd have been on a cruise ship or personal jet or something to that effect back home, where she'd live the rest of her days in a mansion far bigger than she needed, continuing her practice of 'healing' to the most famous and sought after Pokemon.
What was she doing?
Why, walking through a forest! Lost. Again.
Honestly. Was this what it was like to be a trainer? What a horrid lifestyle!
A sudden racket from up above caused her to glance skyward. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. Rain clouds?! It had been totally sunny just a matter of seconds ago!
"Niiiine," Sir Van'Tess whined, ears flattening at the impending storm. Obviously, he wasn't too big on mass amounts of water pouring down from the sky and--- Wait. Wait... Was that? His nose twitched. ..Yes!
"NINE!" the fire type cried out suddenly. Razalin was left to yell and chase him after he took off, darting through the bushes. At some point, he'd managed to snag a flower while running and held it in his mouth when he came to a very sudden stop in front of a certain Flareon.
"Ninetales."
Wink.

Teivel grumbled under his breath as he trudged on, having just hung up the phone with his mother. He still couldn't believe he was in trouble. Teivel never got in serious trouble with his parents. The moment they caught him doing something even remotely bad he would burst out into tears, sniffling until they told him he really wasn't in trouble, and then gave him money to make him feel better. And that worked every time. Every time, of course, until now. Stupid Razalin.
A rumble in the sky caused him to look up, suddenly aware of the dark clouds rolling in. Oh hell. This was just what he needed to make his day even worse.
Sarka crooned softly on Teivel's shoulder as she too spotted the clouds, her feelings similar to her trainer's. Rain?! Not cool! She was a fire Pokemon! They were not supposed to get wet! The Flareon jumped off her boy's shoulder and darted off, intent on finding some sort of shelter. Her luck was better than Teivel's, as nearby there was some sort of cave, only quite small. Two people could have squeezed in, so long as they didn't mind being very close.
Teivel reached down to ruffle Sarka's fur in thanks, before setting his back down and crawling in. "This'll do nice-" He was cut off by the sound of approaching footsteps, causing him to peer out of the entrance of the "cave." He could only stare, horrified, as a very familiar Ninetales came bounding through the bushes. Oh hell no. No no no no! The teen swore under his breath and disappeared back inside the cave, hoping he hadn't been spotted. This was no happening! THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING!
Sarka, on the other hand, simply cocked her head and blinked cutely at him. "Flare?"

Razalin was not one of those doctors who preached about health issues at some seminar then paused to take a smoke break out back. She'd kept in shape because it was healthy, and a doctor was a doctor, for Pokemon or for people.
This she was very thankful for, because if she hadn't been, she'd have never been able to keep that stupid nine-tailed moron in within in eyeshot. Why did she have to deal with such a stupid Pokemon?!
Razalin reached said stupid Pokemon just as he set the flower down and, very carefully with his nose, nudged it toward Sarka. "Ninetales, nine!" (For you, my love!)
If Razalin had been able to understand him, she'd probably have... kicked him or something, quite honestly. "What are you doing, Fuzzy Moron?! It's about to rain and you're out here flirty with my idiot brothers Flareon?!"
...There was the Flareon. Where was the 'idiot brother'? It only took a spilt second to realize; the cave, duh! But that wouldn't be much fun, would it?
"He probably abandoned you out here because Team Rocket fired him, didn't he? He's too big a loser for even the biggest loser squad on the planet. Well, don't worry. If you come with us I'll feed you all the most expensive foods you want! Unlike him, I still have money."

For her? Was this something male Pokemon did for female Pokemon? Perhaps. The flower was very nice, despite not being edible. Or maybe it was edible? The Ninetales might have picked up on her love of food and brought her an edible flower. Now that would have been awesome. "Flareon? (Can I eat it?)"
She was momentarily distracted by the female's raised voice, blinking owlishly up at her. Did she know her? Ooooh right, she belonged to this Ninetales. The Flareon raised a brown paw, offering her a small wave. If she was in league with the Ninetales than she couldn't be so bad. But what was she talking about? Who probably abandoned who? With what? In the ballroom with the lead pipe? "Flare?"
Teivel, meanwhile, was sulking in his cave corner. This sucked. With no money, he could no longer screw the rules. It was a very dark time in his life. Unable to take his sister's insults – especially about money, since that was so her fault – he shot back (from the safety of the cave), "Yeah well at least I'm not a super dork who irons my underwear."

There were so many things she could have said. Instead, Razalin pushed her glasses up, loudly cleared her throat, and curtly said, "You need a girlfriend desperately, little brother." The rest was better left unsaid.
Van's eye twitched. Had he really been beaten by this thing? ...Yes, yes he had. She was special, he reminded himself. No ordinary non-special Flareon would have taken him down like that. No sir. "...Nine. Ninetales." (...Uh, no. It's just to look at.)
Another roll of thunder erupted.
"Are you lost?" Razalin asked suddenly.

Teivel's eye twitched. His sister. His nerdy, super dork of a sister who alphabetized her socks based on their design, had just told him that he needed a girlfriend?! Was she mental?! If anyone needed a boyfriend it was her! "Father needs to get you hooked up so you have somebody to bother other than me," he grumbled back, still not willing to leave the safety of the cave. If was she was going to hit him, she would have to come IN.
"Flareon? (Really?)" Well that was kind of lame. Sarka wasn't all that pleased to have been given a flower, but she supposed it was a nice token. Too bad it hadn't been food. Nothing could win this Flareon quite like food. Oh, but if he gave her a gift, she had to give him one too! It was only fair! Sarka glanced around, before spotting a collection of tall grass. She bounded over and bit off a collection of pieces. These pieces were then dropped in front of Van. "Flare. (For you.)"
"I am never lost," Teivel declared sulkily, wishing he had his hat to pull over his eyes. Stupid Razalin had knocked it off and it had been burned in the restaurant fire. How was he supposed to look tough without his hat? "You're buying me a new hat, by the way, seeing as you burned mine."

"Figures your solution to dating would be to ask our parents. You really are sad for a teenager." Man, she loved saying that. Now that she was out of the teenage years (even if it was just barely), she had another thing on the long, long mental list titled: THINGS WITH WHICH TO HARASS TEI.
Van nodded. He was about to say something--who knew what--but then Sarka had taken off. Was she running away from him...? For a spilt second he thought so, but then she came dashing back, and he mentally scolded himself for thinking for even just one second any female Pokemon on Earth would run away from him. Not in a 1,000 years! And he had that long.
"Ni...ine?" (For...me?) As a Ninetales he hated water. The exception were his own tears, and they currently flooded his eyes. The Great Sir Van'Tess was truly touched! "Nine!" (Thank you!)" he cried happily, jumping forward to 'glomp' the Flareon.
Buuut, just before he did, a red beam of light shot out and withdrew him into the red, white and black circular object known as a Pokeball. Razalin sighed in relief. She'd been trying to get him in there for HOURS!
Tucking the object back into her pocket, she huffed at her sibling. "You are lost. ...What? Your hat?" Ha! As if. "Why, the costume shop you bought it from was out of stock? Are you even really in Team Rocket? Obviously, if you are, they don't value you too much if they won't even replace your hat..."

"I don't need a date or a girlfriend! You need one 'cause you wouldn't be able to get one on your own! I'm still a teenager. You don't have an excuse." Teivel liked to rub his sister's age in her face, especially now that she was out of her teenage years. The very fact that she was still living at home – not that the house wasn't nice – being a doctor to loser's Pokemon was also something he liked to bring up. But he'd save that for later. He tried to stay away from her obsession with him being a healer.
He was crying?! What had she done?! Was there some sort of secret Ninetales tradition that she didn't know about?! Sarka flailed mentally, not knowing what to do about the crying Van. She didn't mean to do anything offensive, honest! She was just trying to be nice and—Oh, he said thank you. Did that mean everything was okay? Apparently so, because he came flying at her, flowers and sparkles in the background, just about to hit her when BINK, he was gone. In his Pokeball. Lame Razalin, really lame.
"Flare," She sniffed, before trotting into the cave and settling on Teivel's lap. If Van wasn't going to be allowed to play then she was going back to her boy.
"Am not. I know exactly where I am," Teivel protested, clutching Sarka tightly against him like she was a teddy bear. "I am safe inside a cave, you are standing outside waiting to get rained on, oh wonderfully intelligent Pokemon doctor. And they'll give me another hat, but I have to pay for it. Since you're the super dork who burned it because you wouldn't take your girly Pokemon and go home, you owe me."

"My 'excuse' is I have better things to do." It wasn't really an excuse. She really did have better things to do! Being a healer was a very time-consuming job, and although she didn't care for Pokemon as much as a Pokemon doctor should, she still liked them a lot more then men. You know, in a platonic way. It was a good thing Teivel would never be a real man, otherwise she might not have any reason to like him given what a brat he was.
Oh, and the Team Rocket thing, too.
She refused to look at the sky and give her stupid brother the opportunity to even think he was right. He was, sort of. She was standing outside when it was about to rain. Still, "It's a better alternative than being in a cave with you. Drowning is better, in fact."
Girly? Girly? "You have a Flareon, you do realize that? You have Aunt Penelope's favorite Pokemon, and no one on Earth is more 'girly' than her. You have no right to call Fuzzy Moron by that title." She took out his Pokeball just for show. You know, dramatic effect sort of thing.
"This may be a stupid Pokemon, but he is not 'girly."
Whatever 'girly' really was as far as Pokemon went.

"Off course you do," Teivel griped, not believing for a second that there were better things for Razalin to do. Her sorts of better things involved studying and reading and all sorts of boring, tiresome things like that. Surely hitching her up had to have crossed their parents' minds. If it hadn't, he was going to make sure it had.
Well if she was going to stay outside, that was fine with him. He was going to be inside and nice and warm, courtesy of the fire Pokemon on his lap. She could stand out in the rain for all he cared. "Do what you want."
Teivel cringed when their Aunt Penelope was brought up, shuddering at the memories that came along with it. Urg, she was such a fruit cake. The only good part about her coming to visit was she forced Razzy to stay with her, and didn't bother Teivel at all. "Just because it's her Pokemon, doesn't make it girly, especially not more than Ninetales. Come on, the thing has pink pillows to lie one. That's pretty girly."
Sarka, on the other hand, had spotted the Pokeball from her position on Teivel's lap. Van didn't need to be in that Pokeball, and if their trainers were only going to argue then she should be allowed to talk with him. Of course, she doubted that Razalin was going to give her the Pokeball. She would just have to take it. The Flareon leapt up suddenly, bounding over to Razalin and snatching the ball from her hand. It was a bit hard to keep in her mouth, but the Flareon was determined. Without a backwards glance she took off into the forest. She would get Van out of that ball!

"Well, you say what you want about my romantic life, but at least I'm not a closet case. Your fear of pink pillows is just a little too vivid to keep everyone from being suspicious, I hope you realize. At least Fuzzy Moron knows where he stands." Boy, did he ever. It was a relief she'd gotten him back in that Pokeball before he could get all lovey dovey (er, more than he already had) with Sarka. He had more important things he needed to be focusing on---
What the hell?!
"H-HEY!" she yelled, spinning around as Sarka took off. She cursed and leered in the general direction of her brother. "You can't even train the Pokemon you do manage to get to behave!"
Razalin ran after the Flareon, and as she did wondered why. She didn't really want that Ninetales anyway.
It was the principle of the thing, she decided.
Yeah, that's it.
