“Do you have your identification” the guard says in an exasperated tone
He shifts his weight a bit and the armor he’s wearing rattles and clangs together
“Ah yeah, its right here” i say handing him the metal card inscribed with my information
The guards sour disposition grows worse as he looks back up at me
“Oh no. You’re a bounty hunter?” He says in a whisper
I glance back at the crowd behind me waiting to gain entry in the city as well
“Yes” I say and he sighs and going back to looking over my card
“…female…. 16…. Blonde….yeah, it looks like everything in order” he says handing the card back to me
He looks brown at my backpack which has two small disks bound in bandages strapped to the back and the pokeball on my waist and he sighs
“Try not to make too much trouble, cleaning up after your kinds hunts is always a pain” he says begrudgingly letting me pass into the city
I pick up my pack and head through the large stone gate into the city
I make my way to the center of town scanning peoples faces as I walk through the crowds
After about an hour I arrive in the heart of the city and find the inn a colleague told me about
I walk into the building and it smells great inside as the first floor is also a cafe and at night its a pub
I walk up to the counter and a jolly woman with red hair turns around and smiles down at me
“Well, aren’t you just adorable, welcome to the Stoneburrow inn, are you here to check in?” She says
“Yes” I say dropping a few silver pieces onto the counter
“And…” I say placing a gold piece on the counter
“…I’m in need of some information” I say
Her smile fades a bit
“Ah, you’re one of those huh” she says taking the coins
“Follow me to the back” she says and with a snap of her fingers someone else takes her place at the counter
I follow her to a fancy back room with two lavish couching facing each other and walls adorned with art and flowers
On the table between the couches sits a bowl of fruit I’ve never seen before
She sits down on one couch and gestures for me to sit on the other
I take a seat and she rings a bell and a maid walks in
“Tea?” She asks and I decline
I know better than to accept anything from an information broker
“So, what can I do for you little lady?” She says with a smile
“I’m looking for someone” I say and she smirks
She laughs
“I figured as much, that’s all you hunters do right?” She says still smiling
“Figures you already heard a hunter was in town” I say with a smile
“Of course, its my business to know” she says smugly
She eyes me over, assessing my worth
“Hmm, you seem a bit young for a hunter. I don’t think you’re worth it to be honest. I could just sell you out to your prey and make a quick buck” she says
“That would be unwise” I say taking out my id card again and tossing it onto the table
She laughs boisterously
“Well well. Would you look at that. A silver rank bounty hunter, didn’t realize I was talking to someone that skilled” she says jokingly as she looks down at the silver colored metal the Id is printed on
she looks me over again and smiles
“50” she says
“30” I say
She laughs
“45” she says
“40” I say
She smiles
“We have a deal” she says
I reach into my backpack and toss two punches of gold coins onto the table
I reach into my coat pocket and take out a drawing on my bounty and hand it to her
She takes it and looks it over
“I’ll have his location in an hour. No refunds if he’s left town already” she says standing up
“Fine” I say
“Your room is the last room on the second floors left side” she says as she leaves
I leave and head upstairs to my room and get ready
I take my pokeball off my hip and let heliolisk out
My partner is a bipedal black, orange and yellow lizard that stands about three feet high
“Get ready” I say and he nods
I take the disks off my backpack and unwrap them revealing my shields decorated to look like heliolisk frills
They are two miniature buckler shields a little bigger than my fists
I strap them to their respective gauntlets and test them out
I make a fist and the shield slides forward and locks into place at the end of my fist
I open my hand and it slides back to its spot on the back of my hand
I store the shield gauntlets under the back of my long coat using the incredibly strong magnets on my belt
Now I can just reach behind me and slot my hands into the gauntlets and be ready for a fight
About twenty minutes pass and something slides under the door
I go over and grab it, its a piece of paper with a crudely drawn map on it
“Let’s go” I say
“Lisk” Heliolisk says with a nod
We follow the map and after about twenty more minutes we arrive at a pub in some back alley
The place reeks of booze, I walk in and scan the room
Then I see him in the corner eating his lunch without a care in the world wearing a cloak
I motion for heliolisk to wait here and to stay out of sight depending on the situation
The bartender eyes me suspiciously as I make my way across the room
I assume he’s thinking that I’m too well dressed in my leather gear to be some kid off the street that wandered in and I’m a bit young to be from one of the nearby brothels
The target turns and looks up at me and our eyes meet for a split second and I see him start to panic
I charge at him as he flips the table he’s sitting at and sends it flying towards me as he makes for the exit
“Helio! Go!” I yell as I catch the table and slam it down to defend the patrons behind me
The bartender starts shouting but I tune him out as heliolisk hops onto one of the tables and lunges for the target wrestling him to the ground
The other people all flee the bar as they tumble across the ground
“Swampert!” The target yells and I hear a pokeball open from under his cloak
Suddenly a large blue pokemon appears and looks around, sees his trainer being attacked, and smacks heliolisk across the room making a dent in the wall where he hits
I reach behind my back and put on my shield gauntlets and get them locked into place
The target scrambles to his feet and leans against Swampert
“Swampert, take care of this” he says as he takes off running towards the door as Swampert charges at me throwing tables aside as he does
Right as he’s about to reach the exit heliolisk leaps at him, spins in the air, and tail whips him across the room
Swampert swings at me and I dodge under it and sink a few quick punches into its stomach, it staggers back a step but swings again and it connects with my left side sending me flying into a table destroying it
Heliolisk charges at Swampert and starts to glow with ribbons of yellow energy flying off of him
He giga impacts Swampert sending him flying through the wall leaving a huge hole into the building next door
I stagger up to my feet and see the target trying to flee again and run at him
He pulls a knife and swings it at me as I get close
“You fucking bounty hunters! Your not taking me to prison!” He yells as he swings
“You killed three people, you think your just gonna get away with that?” I say as a huge stream of water blasts through the hole Swampert went through and starts flooding the place
He lunges at me with the knife but I block it with a punch and the knife bounces off the shield and flies out of his hand, I grab his arm, spin and with one swift motion hurl him over my head onto the floor and pin him down
The water is a few inches now and it finally stops as Swampert leaps back through the hole
Heliolisk charges it
“Lisk lisk!” He signals as his neck frills open so I close my eyes as the room is enveloped in a blinding flash
Swampert reels back blinded as heliolisk jumps and does a front flip, his tail glowing bright blue from using dragon tail, straight down on swampert's head slamming it to the ground knocking it out
The target struggles under me when he sees this and realizes he’s done for
I take the pokeball from his belt and toss it to heliolisk who touches it to Swampert who gets sealed inside
I take a rope out of my pocket and tie him up just as the guards rush in with the bartender who looks at his destroyed Bar furious
“Hands up!” The guards yell pointing spears at me
“Ah, great timing. I need someone to carry this man out of town” I say with a grin
After explaining that I was with the bounty hunters guild and telling the barkeeper he’d be reimbursed for damages the guards escort the man and me out of town after stopping to grab my bag of course
After the guards leave I take a flare out of my pack and crack it sending a large plume of yellow smoke into the air
After about an hour I see a skarmory in the distance carrying a small cage with the guilds logo on the side
Skarmory lands and I show it my card and it nods
I toss the target into the cage and lock it
He had given up struggling about half an hour ago and just lays there silently
I reach up and take the bag from around skarmorys neck and take out the papers inside
I take the pokeball with swampert in it and put it in the bag and retie it around skarmorys neck
Skarmorys flies up, grabs the cage, and flies off back towards the guild
I look at heliolisk and smile
“Well, that was an easy one. Let’s hope the next ones a little tougher” I say waving the documents about my next target at him
“Lisk lisk!” Heliolisk says with a smile
He shifts his weight a bit and the armor he’s wearing rattles and clangs together
“Ah yeah, its right here” i say handing him the metal card inscribed with my information
The guards sour disposition grows worse as he looks back up at me
