Roxanne sighed, a wary look given to her partner Cubone. She had no idea WHAT happened. Well, she did but she didn't know WHY. Everything was fine until she sent him out on the contest stage. It wasn't even for an actual contest, it was just showing off "their babies" as one of the veterans there said. Dawnie just lost it and threw a fit, a path of destruction left behind. Along with countless apologies and waved off offers to pay for the damages left behind. Shamefaced, she left, taking her Cubone with like a naughty child. Who was silent the entire time. And even though she can speak with her Pokemon like one would speak to a human, she had no answers. Roxanne brushed her rose gold hair out of her face, minding her artificial pointed ears. Blue eyes squinted in thought, she had nothing to even start with on how to help her Cubone with his problems. It came out of nowhere, this misbehavior. He won't battle. He won't train. Dawnie won't even participate in contests, for fun or otherwise. Beggings and bribes did nothing to convince him to do anything but scowl. Deep in her musings, she didn't notice the blonde man that appeared literally out of nowhere. She bumped into the man and yelped as she tripped over her Cubone. She fell into the mud and looked over at her Cubone. He didn't even TRY and help her. He just stood there, an indifferent look on his skull enclosed head. She forgot about the man who she just bumped into. Frustrated and scared for her companion, she screamed, tears threatening to spill over at any time. She didn't even care what the man thought, a hysterical woman with cat ears and tail freaking out at her cold ground typed Pokemon, ignoring her as he inspected with bone. "Dawnie. PLEASE. Tell me what is going on with you. Is it something I did? Or said? I thought we were close and could share everything with each other." Josh Dragomir

"Thunder!"
"Pika-CHUUUU!" A Thunder would rocket at a chair that had been thrown during the destruction, which was falling down toward a child and their Pokemon. The lack of uniforms now made it easier to just kind of blend into the crowds, though for someone like Josh, that wasn't the easiest thing. He had decided to throw up the hoodie on his jacket when the miniature performance had begun, wanting the attention to be on the young woman and her Pokemon, and not him. Either way, he had been on-hand to watch the little presentation, and had done his best to make sure the path of destruction didn't harm any civilians after - evidenced by the chair that the lightning bolt struck the side of, moving it off course and crashing it into the ground without completely frying the thing. "Good aim" Josh would compliment toward the Pikachu on his shoulder with an affectionate little pat on the head to follow. It was while he was taking his leave that the woman had accidentally bumped into him and went crashing into the mud. He looked down, having taken a moment with his size to realize someone had bumped him. He had been about to apologize when the young lady would suddenly begin screaming and crying over her Cubone. He scratched his head, uncertain of what to think as he listened to her venting toward the Cubone. After a few moments of letting her calm down a bit, he would give her a warm smile under the hood before holding out a large hand to help her out of the mud. "Everything alright, miss?"

Roxanne sniffed pitifully, tears falling down her cheeks. The Cubone of hers looked worried for her, but he didn't reach for her. Just adding insult to injury. She wiped her cheeks, embarrassment replacing the feeling of hurt. Losing her cool like that, in front of somebody. And with his Pokemon too.And his Pikachu was so well behaved, balanced perfectly on his shoulder. Even after she so rudely bumped into him. She started to pick herself up, straightening her headband. Large cat shaped ears were built into the headband, matching the now muddied tail attached to her belt. The ears twitched for a bit, resyncing with her movements. They stopped and resettled to their relaxed positions.
"I'm. I'm okay. Just a rough day. A minor mishap at the contest hall. With this..."
(She gestured toward the Cubone, now finally helping her up. An apologetic look is on his face and she felt bad for him. For a moment, anyway. Then she remembered what got her into this predicament. She scowled at the Cubone, tinged with concern. She looked up at the lot taller than her man and gulped faintly. She had to ask him. It couldn't hurt to ask if he could offer a tip to a fellow Pokemon trainer, right?
"Uhm. If you don't mind, could you tell me how you got so close to your Pikachu? I've...I've been having some...trouble with my Dawnie here. He's kind of being....Stubborn. All the time. "

The man took a deep breath as she would say she was alright - just a minor mishap, nothing more. Though he would smile lightly when she would ask him how he got so close to his Pikachu. "It wasn't easy" He would admit. "Though to be honest, our bond goes all the way from when he was a baby, so we've had a few years together. Still... He's actually still a bit of a handful" He added, beginning to chuckle in turn before he reached over and patted the Pikachu on the head, earning a "Chaaa~" from Lightning as he nuzzled his head against his hand in turn. "A lot of patience, a lot of love and care and understanding. This Pikachu has some issues, itself, but we've worked together to get through them. That's just kind of what being a Trainer is, you know? You have to have the patience to deal with Pokemon who can get a bit unruly. Whether it's causing a scene at a performance... Or sneaking into your bag when you go to work" He added, giving the Pikachu a look, and a smirk in turn. He then turned back to the girl. "So the question is... What do you think is the problem? You? Or your Pokemon?"

(Roxanne looked at the previously indifferent Cubone, who is now trying to get rid of a spot of dirt from her shoes. The man's question made her think. She is still so new at all of this. She isn't sure which is the problem. The Pikachu seemed to be amused at his casual mention of him being a troublemaker. The Pokemon acted more like a pet then a battling Pokemon. Something about the small electric mouse made Roxanne decide that assumption was dead wrong and should be discarded fast. She leaned down and picked a leaf off the marsupial-like Pokemon. She never could determine what he was and felt trying was an exercise in pure madness. Roxanne knows she pretty much just lied to the man. She isn't alright. And not just because of her misbehaving Cubone. But she isn't one to lay all her troubles on a stranger, however. The Cubone seemed to be back to his cold, but loving self now. And that only added to her confusion, freckled cheeks flared in embarrassment. He must think she is nuts, screaming about such a sweet little boy like the one in front of him. She might as well be honest with him. She gets back up, tail twitched nervously around her legs.) "I...honestly don't know. I haven't been a trainer for long, a Coordinator for even less time. It's hard to explain, I guess." Josh Dragomir

Looks could be deceiving. The Pikachu may look and act like a pet, but it was far more than that. The Pikachu was treated almost like a pet at times, yes, even was spoiled like one. But the Pikachu was more like his much younger brother most times, his partner. They shared an unbreakable bond, but the Pikachu was certainly a battling Pokemon... And a damn good one too. How many Pikachu could claim they'd stared down the legendary Pokemon Lugia, and attempted to trade blows with it? The Trainer would shrug then, at her answer. "Well... Find the answer, and let me know" He would answer, smirking lightly in turn. "That's the first step. Figuring out what's wrong. Is it you? Is it your Pokemon? What is wrong that's causing these issues? What can be improved? What can be done? Whether you are a Trainer, or a Coordinator... It doesn't matter, so long as you are working with Pokemon, if there are flaws between you, if there are issues... You have to find the heart of those issues and be constantly wanting to improve on those flaws.
Nobody stops learning. Nobody knows everything. And nobody is without flaw."I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT IT

Roxanne looked at the bone-wielding marsupial and felt hopeless as she looked away. The man's advice was sound and that was the problem. Roxanne looked at the man, her deep blue eyes brimming with sadness. She knew the man meant well. But his advice was not going to help somebody in her unique situation, as well-meaning as it was. As somebody who could literally ask her Pokemon what was wrong and understand their answers... That's it!
She had noticed that Dawnie was staring at the Pikachu with a mix of disdain and envy. And Pikachu was a Pokemon that only evolved when they felt good and ready. She turned away from the man, focused on the mouse Pokemon on his shoulder instead. It was something she tried to hide from people as much as she could. But a strange feeling told her that this man would not spill the beans about her and her unique ability. She asked the Pikachu for help, asking if he could talk Pokemon to Pokemon with her Cubone. In Pokemon speak, she explained the situation as much as she could to the Pikachu. How Dawnie used to adore battling and was a natural performer who was actually a bit of a spotlight hog.
Then she received an ice stone from a friend and told Sybel(Her Aloloan Vulpix) that when she was ready, she could evolve. Sybel was excited over the prospect and doubled her efforts to become strong enough and ready enough to evolve. And that was when everything changed with her Cubone.He became moody and refused to listen to any requests or commands or anything. She made eye contact with the trainer, eyes alight with newfound determination.

To be fair, Josh couldn't just ask Lightning what was wrong when issues arose. There was a clear language barrier there, but they had learned to communicate in what ways they could. That was part of being a Pokemon Trainer after all. And if you couldn't communicate the issue thoroughly enough, it was your responsibility as a Trainer to figure it out yourself. Leaving it showed a lack of responsibility. The fact she -could- apparently speak to Pokemon in some form and was still having problems might be an indicator of what the problem was... "Ask... My Pikachu... For help?"
The man was confused for a moment, blinking a few times and tilting his head. I mean, he supposed he didn't see why not, but he didn't know what trying to verbally ask a Pokemon for help would do in this situation. Though Pokemon at the least seemed to understand human speech, even if they couldn't communicate as such verbally. Of course he didn't know about Roxanne's apparent abilities, as per mentioned. "I mean, I guess I don't see why not."

Roxanne's false ears twitched along with her tail. He didn't even notice, did he? Her talking to the Pikachu in their own native tongue, right in front of him. She didn't think he was that kind of safe to share her ability with. But one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, not with such a sensitive issue, now should they? Roxanne squeed in delight and would have hugged the man if she was not focused on her goal. It was clear in her eyes how much she wanted to hug him, however.
She looked at the Pikachu and smiled before launching into a long, overly gushy monologue about how grateful she was for the Pikachu's help. Dawnie did not approve of the attention she was lavishing on the Pokemon that was NOT him. Dawnie looked over at the Pokemon, then at the trainer. Much like a lumberjack mentally measuring a tree, he looked Josh over once more and nodded to himself. And swung his bone club into the trainer's knee with a solid crack.
That caused Roxanne to pause as she processed what JUST happened. She screamed in horror and grabbed the Cubone's club, taking it from the rebellious Pokemon. She shook the bone at him, cheeks flaring red with rage and embarrassment. While it was a textbook example of what behavior she was talking about, it was not at all called for. Not to this helpful man who happened by and was so willing to help her and by extension the Cubone. She scolded him like how a mother would scold an unruly toddler.
"Dae-Hyun Doppelganger! We do NOT hit people. EVER. Apologize to him right NOW."

To be fair, how in the world was Josh expected to know that the woman could actually speak with, understand and fully communicate with Pokemon? Josh had never seen someone use the ability before, and he had been told that someone doing so was physically impossible. So forgive him when it didn’t register that she was speaking to his Pikachu. As far as he could tell, she was just giving guesses as to what the Pikachu was saying, and talking like a Pikachu in order to elicit some sort of response. The Pikachu though, would tilt his head, a bit confused and bewildered as the woman in a way he could understand went into a monologue. The Pikachu didn’t respond though, just listening on and on. At least, until the Cubone would bring it’s club down it’s Trainer. For Josh, at first it didn’t register. And it was good that he wore knee pads due to his job, or this would have been a break for sure. But it still hurt like hell... Speaking of, he couldn’t help but cry out. ”AGH, WHAT THE HELL?!” Josh would growl as he held his sore knee. The Pikachu wasn’t having any of it though, and using Grass Knot would cause vines to grow under the Cubone and snag it’s leg. “PIKA-CHU-PI!” The Pikachu cried out as he would slam his tail into the Cubone, with full intent of knocking it away. The Electric Mouse was clearly very, very upset about it bringing harm to it’s Trainer.

Roxanne screamed in horror as the Pikachu attacked the Cubone in defense of his trainer. She dashed to his side and held him close, protecting him from any further injury. Even when he was being a right pain, she couldn't stand to see him get hurt.
She had to make sure any damage he sustained wasn't too severe, even after his attack on the man in front of them. Besides being startled and a bit banged up from being tripped, the Cubone seemed all right for the most part. She wasn't going to let him free just yet.
The cat ear wearing woman may have been new to this trainer/coordinator thing, but she knew that Pikachus tended to be very defensive when protecting their territory or trainers. And after Dae-Hyun's little stunt, she doubted the electric rodent would let him off that easy. She looked up from the crouching position to the man and her cheeks were flaring.
"I am so sorry. But this. This is what I am talking about. He. He just stopped behaving and. I don't know what to do. And I know that Pikachus are known for being somewhat tempermental but. Yours is so well behaved I thought it had to be worth a shot, you know?"

I mean, you couldn't really blame the Pikachu for attacking the Cubone. Could you? Attack the Trainer, incur the wrath of the Pokemon partner. It was pretty simple and clean logic. Josh would nurse the injured leg, though the armored and padded bits of his attire - used for his Interpol job - had at least protected him from any serious, or by god, permanent damage. It still hurt like hell though. She would begin to apologize and he just shook his head. "It's fine" He spoke, though he was a bit confused as she would talk about Pikachu being temperamental and it "being worth a shot". "Lightning is generally well-behaved unless you piss him off. It's pretty simple as that" Josh would respond with a casual shrug. The Cubone had brought the attack on itself and it should know that, as would it's Trainer. "But you do need to learn to rein it in. It cannot be attacking people like that."

Roxanne held the belligerent Cubone close. He was still reaching for his bone club, kept just out of his reach. He was clearly not happy about being "attacked" by the Pikachu and he was grumbling something under his breath. Even with him so close, she couldn't quite make out what he was saying. But it seemed to be bothering the Pikachu. The way his ears were flicking was not in a friendly fashion. Could be because her Cubone just tried to break the Pikachu's trainer's knee but Roxanne couldn't help but feel it was more than that. Like the Pikachu was agitated by the mutterings of the Cubone. Looking at the Pikachu and then at her Cubone, she realized a strange coincidence. That right before his tantrum at the contest hall, somebody let out a Pokemon they had just evolved. it was like. Seeing the evolved Pokemon agitated him. But what did it mean? Roxanne just simply lacked the experience to understand. She turned to look up at Josh and gulped nervously. "This might sound odd. And it probably means nothing. But....I just remembered that. Before Dawnie's...tantrum. Somebody let out their Herdier. And before that, he was. All right. And just now. Maybe. Maybe it's something about evolved Pokemon that is causing this?" Josh Dragomir
