- Alexander Furst : Moist and Pissed -

Alex swiftly rolled out of the way, watching as the multitude of creatures... wait what? As he managed to barely escape, that same imbecile who decided fleeing towards a bunch of random citizens would help. As he looked onward, he watched as he swatted them, almost aggravated. Poliwag were usually docile, but they either decided to attack him or he did something to piss them off.
Regardless, much to his chagrin, Alex gave the young boy the benefit of the doubt, something he could probably regret later on. Sighing and shaking his head, he dusted himself off as he glanced at the Poliwag Posse as they began to gang up on him after his walloping. It wasn't his problem as he had bigger Magikarp to fry. Glaring at the girl, he ignored the boy as he was momentarily beat down, not caring whether or not he lived... though he was fairly certain he would live, just he would be soaked and have a couple of sore spots.
Until it was his problem, he wasn't going to bother aiding him, even if he did come to the conclusion it wasn't the brown haired kids fault.
Adjusting his nonexistent tie, he began walking forward, ready to confront that hellion... before crashing down onto his knees. Either these Poliwag were strong or just lucky, as he felt a force on his knee, causing the snow haired boy to crash to the ground. Digging his knuckles into the dirt, he barely had enough time to shield himself before they began assaulting him again.
Well, that was just about damn perfect. Out of the frying pan and into a puddle. As he endured the attacks, he began to become more... well, lets just say "annoyed" as the pleasant way of putting it. He was cold, wet, and currently turning red (not from anger), and was currently safeguarding his weak spots.
After a while, they eventually ended their poundings. Well, at least it came to an en-
Hold on, one of them was speaking. Brushing his damp hair out of his face, this one seemed... not as hostile. The voice, posture, and the facet that it was in front of the poor sap who was previously getting his ass handed to him... nope,
totally, didn't happen to Alex, not at all.
Frowning, he watched as they began to all look at the duo, looking a little more serene than he denoted previously. Huffing, Alex shook his head, cursing under it as he saw the team bounce, waddle, or just walk away.
Excellent; it was over... now he could get back to questioning that minx.
"Good frickin' grief," he uttered angrily at the ground as he grimaced on this whole shebang. This was a special kind of day that was going in his mental notebook; Chapter 134 - Screw Today 4 : The Poliwag Posse Pummels People!
At least thinking about that made things a little better.
Before he could catch a glimpse at the girl, that boy interjected, apologizing and thanking him for the save. If he meant "attempting to save the conversation between him and Lynn," then yeah, sure... but he knew what it was really for. Alex
really didn't want to grab his hand, but against all forms and logic, he did and stood up, rolling his eyes.
Letting go of his grasp, he put his hands on his hips and decided to set the record straight before that rascal of a lady decided to scurry off somewhere he could never find her.
"First off, I 'saved' you because that little scene was going to interrupt the conversation with my friend, so don't take it as a kind effort," he shot back, having as much emotion as Kristen Stewart when acting in one of her movies.
Of course the next part... as much as Lynn was acting... was very, very far off in reality. Shaking his head, he shot back, explaining his next incorrect assumption.
"You've got that wrong; she isn't m-"And look who it was! The little disappearing act decided not to magically go poof and force him to meticulously seek her for three whole days. Crossing his arms, Alex barely managed to hold back a sneeze, slightly shivering in his waterlogged clothing as he listened to her cackle.
"Giggling fit because of that? Wow, what a great sense of humor," he deadpanned, wearing a signature frown as he awaited for the little girl to end her laughing.

Alright, now
that was over, it was time to listen to some possible drivel with no backed up facts! How riveting...
Standing there, Alex listened to her monologue over how she wanted him dead, along with a couple of other things like her despising him and lacking any interest over speaking with him further. Alex wasn't going to let her go that easily.
"Who knows, maybe you're still here because you want your crush to join you in the afterlife," he swiftly snapped back before she walked off with her pokemon, leaving the two alone.
Alright, that did it; she wasn't escaping so easily.
"Tch, inconsiderate as always," he grumbled, walking off in the opposite direction, beginning his search for Henry who "Khata" had probably scared off somewhere. Alex gave the boy one last glare, which basically said "You're on your own now."
Alex hardly could care as he weaved between each tree, leaving the sight of the young man; it was as if he became a specter himself...
That whole event could of gone so much better.
How far did that Yamask chase his newfound friend? He wouldn't know as the boy checked behind every tree, giving any pokemon that wanted to harass him a death glare... which was more than enough to intimidate them. Continuing to look behind every trunk, his dull eyes began to light up at what looked to be some purple gas floating in the air. Coming closer, he found that little purple orb was quivering with, softly crying like a small child.
Approaching him Alex made sure to lower his voice, making sure not to frighten him. Reaching out, Alex made sure to forewarn the Gastly that he was here so he wouldn't dash off.
"Heya bud," he whispered gently as the orb jerked, a little surprised by what he was hearing and quickly turned around, eyes wide as a frightened child. Alex gave the small pokemon a smile, patting his head. Even though it was a gas pokemon of sorts, it managed to look even more tense than Alex usually did when freaked out by Lynn. Its breathing was hoarse, and it was still weeping a little. Managing to find a tear, he wiped it away before continuing on.
"Apologies, but I didn't exactly expect that to happen," he spoke weakly with contempt, looking downwards at the ground. First day and he managed to not only accidentally hurt his partner, but earned the disdain of Lynn to the point where she had Khata antagonized Henry.
Shaking his head, he looked up at him, giving him a huge smile that he normally would never give to humans.
"I'll try to be more vigilant next time," he spoke morosely, pivoting around as the Gastly raised a gas-brow... before giving Alex a friendly lick, sending a tingly feeling down his back. Rotating his neck, he saw the orb staring at him, scared and looking for approval.
Alex could only return a nod and chuckle, before beckoning the Gastly after him. Reassured, it stuck close to his companion as the duo hustled to escape the forest and track her down.
This wasn't over just yet.
