"You are really," Strat said, folding his arms across his chest. "The most spoiled little Luxray I have ever had the displeasure of training."
Large golden eyes moved towards him. Hector really was growing quite tall, his head already up almost past Strat's waist - a fact that made Strat scowl. He was already shorter than most trainers; his own Pokemon didn't have to remind him of this fact.
"I am not spoiled." Hector answered primly, munching on a piece of candy. "Stratty gave me this."
"Do noooot call me by that ridiculous nickname." Strat squawked, prodding the side of Hector's head with a gloved finger. "I told you that already."
The Luxray just stuck out his tongue cheerfully, ambling down the hall. Strat sighed, reaching up to massage his temples. He'd had Hector for several months now, but he still couldn't figure out just why on earth he had accepted that idiot Lab assistant's recommendation for training again. He'd stopped training a long time ago, but that stupid Lab assistant had somehow managed to convince him to come back. And now, here he was, walking down Arcana's wide hallways with a little Luxray in front of him, sucking contentedly on a lollipop. Hector still didn't talk much, but at least now he was talking, rather than just giving him silent stares.
"Hector," Strat said. "Don't run in the hallways. You'll - "
Thump!
"- run into someone." Strat finished lamely. He turned the corner, seeing the Luxray face down on the floor, half on top of another young one, a Squirtle by the looks of it. Reaching down, Strat took ahold of Hector's collar, pulling him up and dangling him in midair.
"What did I just say?"
Hector was eyeing the Squirtle. Then popped the lollipop back into his mouth.
Strat sighed.

Another pointless day wandering aimlessly throughout the hallways. It wasn't that he didn't have somewhere that he was supposed to be. Quite the contrary, he usually always had some place he was supposed to be, but he couldn't be bothered to show up at the right time for anything if he showed up at all. Thus Caellum strolled down the halls, uncaring for the random tentative 'hellos' shot his way; he just wanted to be left alone for the most part.
Despite his best intentions to remain in pleasant solitude, however, the Squirtle found himself often having to engage in conversation with complete strangers. Not only were they, of course, strangers but they were usually annoying... Which was even worse. Heaving a sigh, Caellum pushed his sunglasses a little higher up on his nose and shoved his hands into his back pockets, striding confidently down the hall and hoping that nobody would stop him.
Of course, fate had a way of ruining his best of efforts. Caellum grunted and fell backwards as something ran into him. His eyes closed as anger rolled through him before he opened his eyes, glaring at the boy above him. He noted the ears, the tail... the electricity. Just what he always wanted; an electric pokemon to bump into him.
"Watch where you're going." he snapped, his bottom lip jutting out in an annoyed, petulant pout. "And get off me. I don't, you know, like laying on the dirty hallway floor, you know."

Hector sucked on his lollipop, swaying slightly from where Strat was holding him up. His trainer was looking at him with an exasperated expression on his face, resisting the urge to just drop the little Luxray back onto the floor.
"For heaven's sake, Hector." he said. "Say you're sorry."
The Luxray turned his large, golden eyes on him for a brief moment. Then, wriggling, he dropped down with a soft thump, the lollipop in his mouth making quiet clicking noises as it tapped against his teeth. He eyed the Squirtle with an unreadable expression, then said
"Did you know you're on the floor? That's dirty, you know."
Strat brought his face up to his hand, shaking his head. Oy vey, this kid...
Hector was now crouching down beside the Squirtle, reaching out to poke at the side of his head like he was prodding an insect. "You look funny. Can I have your sunglasses?"
Oh, for the love of all that is holy... Strat screeched internally. "HECTOR!"

The squirtle continued to glower up at the Luxray even as he began to sit up. He stared at him as the electric pokemon was plopped down, beginning to dust himself off before his eye twitched at the comment. He quickly stood up, continuing to brush himself off as he glared at the Luxray.
"Well, I wouldn't have been on the floor if it weren't for you." he snapped, combing his fingers through his hair and straightening his sunglasses.
Suddenly there was a finger poking him in the side of his head. Caellum's eye twitched before he batted at the other pokemon's hand, taking a step back and glaring at him. Who did this Luxray think he was, anyways? He knocked him down, was being rude, and had the nerve to poke him in the side of the head.
"No. They're mine!" he responded, adjusting his sunglasses again. "Get your own."

Hector didn't look particularly fazed by the hand that whacked at his own. Instead, he stood somewhat off to the side, sticking his lollipop back into his mouth and examined the Squirtle with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he were sizing him up.
Strat was resisting the urge to pick his Luxray back up and cart him off to dunk him under the waterfalls outside. Hector was showing himself to be rather stubborn when it came to things he wanted (especially candy; the damn kid was always wanting candy of some sort), and right now he was wearing that expression that said he wanted something. Namely, the Squirtle kid's sunglasses which were, in fact, not all that appealing in the first place. Strat sighed, reaching up to massage his temples.
"Hector," he said sternly. "You can't have the kid's sunglasses, okay? Just say you're sorry so we can move on and go back home."
Hector looked back up at Strat, still sucking on his lollipop. He turned back to the Squirtle.
"I'm sorry." he said, somewhat formally, which surprised Strat, to say the least.
"Well that was good." he said. "Now - "
With a quick jerk, Hector's hand whipped out and he grabbed the Squirtle's sunglasses, pulling them off to stick them over his own eyes. He turned back to look at his trainer, a satisfied and pleased expression on his face.
"HECTOR!" Strat screeched.

The squirtle shot a mildly annoyed look up at the trainer that was accompanying. Kid? He wasn't just some 'kid' to be brushed off. He was pretty mature for his age, he thought. Besides, it was kind of rude to brush him off like he was some punk, especially when he couldn't control his Luxray. Oh well.
Caellum looked expectantly at the young Luxray before him, one brow arched in expectation. Finally at the apology he smirked, shoving his hands into the pockets of his pants; he did so enjoy coming out on top of any situation, really. Besides, all he'd wanted was an apology anyways.
"I accept your---" he began only for his eyes to widen as the glasses were snatched from his face.
It started in the tips of his fingers, the slowly building rage that had his fists curling and his entire body tensing. Caellum's jaw clenched as he saw the electric pokemon put his sunglasses on and turn away from him. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he struggled to reign in his temper... At least for a bit. Who knew what would happen when he manager to catch the Luxray alone somewhere.
"Give. Them. Back. NOW." he bit out, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.

"I will not give them back." Hector said stubbornly. "They look better on me, anyway."
Strat eyed his Luxray suspiciously. Hector beamed a wide smile at him and that only raised his trainer's hackles. The kid was by far the most active, stubborn, cheerful, and obnoxiously confusing Pokemon he had ever had to train, which was saying something, since Strat had gone through dozens in the past, of all different kinds. There had been the Beedrill who had stolen from him as he got older, and the Mothim he had found setting fire to his bedroom a few months after the Beedrill. The last one had been a Butterfree; a seemingly innocent young girl except for the fact that she had run off with one of Strat's co-workers, a man twice her age and twice her size. After that, Strat had refused to take in and train anymore Pokemon.
Before Hector that was. Even though that damn Lab assistant had somehow persuaded (more like goaded, Strat thought sulkily to himself) him to take in this Luxray.
I knew I should have said no, Strat thought as he jabbed the side of Hector's head.
"Hey," he said. "Give them back."
Hector's lower lip jutted out in a pout. "No." he said, looking upset. "They're mine."

Caellum stared at the other boy in enraged disbelief. He couldn't be serious... Could he? His sunglasses only looked good on him, thus why they were his sunglasses to begin with. The squirtle felt his eye twitch in annoyance, his teeth gritting in barely suppressed anger.
"I think they look like s**t on you." he snapped out.
Sure, maybe something as smile and 'precious' looking as him shouldn't swear like a sailor, but he didn't care in that moment. No, all he cared about was the fact that the damn Luxray in front of him was wearing his sunglasses which he'd stolen off of his face. The nerve that some of the people had.
Despite all of that, it was the 'mine' that finally caused Caellum's limited amounts of control to finally snap. Eye twitching he suddenly lunged and tackled the luxray, not even considering the fact that the other pokemon was electric and thus could easily knock him out. All he cared about was getting his sunglasses back; he'd always had them. Quickly he snatched them off the other boy's face before lifting his hand, fingers curling into a fist as he prepared to punch the boy beneath him in the mouth.

Strat did not much appreciate having a stubborn a** Luxray for a Pokemon, nor did he much appreciate having to haul Hector away from the Squirtle when the two of them leapt towards each other, bickering and squabbling. It took quite some effort to pry Hector away, and quite a bit more effort to resist kicking him in the face when Hector sent an electric shock reverberating throughout his arm, causing him to drop him. Hector leapt towards the Squirtle, grabbing for the sunglasses, and then it was all over as the two of them rolled around on the floor. Strat let them jab and poke at one another for a few moments, glaring at the Luxray, and then with a sigh of exasperation, he reached down, grabbing Hector by the back of his collar.
"Enough, you." he said, dragging him back. Hector, protesting quite loudly vocally, shut up abruptly when Strat leaned over him, sticking a lollipop in his mouth.
"Shush." he said. "Good grief, Hector, you brat. You couldn't have just let him keep those stupid sunglasses, could you?"
He eyed the Squitle warily. The kid had a foul mouth for someone his age, and Strat was both simultaneously impressed and disgusted. He went with impressed. Kneeling down beside the Squirtle, he said "Keep your glasses kid, but next time don't provoke the Luxray. He'll only fight back worse."
And with that, Strat dragged Hector off down the hallway.
Oy vey. Can't my days go back to being predictable and calm?
