"And you Miss?" The officer who had been previously watching Big Al asked, "you sure you're alright? You don't look too well."
Once again, Night put on her biggest s**t-eating grin and turned to the officers, "Oh me? Yes, I'm fine. Afraid my Gyarados got a little excited with the sudden appearance of another pokemon. Big guy was born to perform, he just loves showing off for others."
"Yes well," the first officer said, occasionally glancing at Night and Dorkfish as though he was trying to figure out if he believed them or not, "That's all well and good, but might be best to steer clear of the fellow who just walked away. Big Al as he's known around here. Been causing us quite a bit of trouble over the years. Best not to get too involved with the likes of him."
"I'm terribly sorry officer," Night said, giving the cop a small bow, "we didn't know. We'll be sure to be more careful from now on."
"No harm done," the officers tipped their hats before walking off, "Best to put your pokemon away for now, and good luck in your next match, Capital A. We'll be rooting for you."

Keiko kept smiling until the officers were out of sight and earshot, then sighed heavily. "You know they'll start asking questions once the next couple of Pokeathlons come and go, right?" Keiko asked, looking at Sub and Night with reasonable apprehension on her face.
"So?" Chaos scoffed, shrugging as he came back into view. "You lot will be long gone by then."
"So?" Keiko asked, looking a bit more worried than she probably should have been, though she calmed down shortly. "Where'd you run off to, anyway?"
"Yeah, sorry about that," Chaos sighed. "People around here think of me as a down-on-his-luck handyman just trying to support his family, and that makes things easy and all, but I can't really risk my history back in Hoenn coming back to bite me in the ~/~. Not with Rose and Abby involved."
"Is that who called you earlier?" Keiko asked, glad for the subject change.
"Rose, yeah," Chaos explained. "I figured I had some time before I needed to take Abby home from school, but apparently not. Would have just got home with her now, but as it turns out, she walked herself home. And just as one of her teachers told me this, Rose called saying she got home safe. I expected Rose to be pissed when she called, but apparently, Abby argued with her that she can take care of herself and I avoided getting shafted with the blame as a result. Don't know how many times I told that girl that there are people... well, people like that Al character running around, for instance. Doesn't help that she's got my stubbornness. But that's kids for ya."
"I guess," Keiko sighed sympathetically, not realizing that there was a certain lady nearby that was just now learning all of these things about the ex-Snagem.

As far as Night was concerned, the entire conversation went in one ear and immediately left through the other side. It may come back to her at a later time but for now, her mind was a turmoil of thoughts and emotions. So much so that, as soon as the two officers were out of sight, she sank to her knees on the pavement, releasing the breath she had been holding since she said her part in Sub's lie.
Dorkfish shifted slightly so he could bring his head around and brush it gently over his trainer's. An odd sight for anyone who didn't know the special connection the two had; to see a pokemon so large and, normally, ferocious, being gentle with anything, let alone trying to soothe. But that's exactly was Dorkfish was doing. The low rumble he made, almost sounding as though it were meant to be comforting, as he continued to rub his cheek across Night's head.

Chaos noticed Night once she'd all but collapsed, being consoled by Dorkfished. He sighed, and uttered an expletive almost immediately afterward, turning to face Sub. "I think she's dealt with enough ~/~ for one day. Do her a favor and take her home. She looks like she could use the rest."
Chaos started to walk away, but Keiko couldn't help but speak up. "That's uncharacteristically kind of you."
To this, Chaos smirked and shook his head before facing her. "My women-abusing days ended when I decided to live with Rose. My terrorizing days didn't last long after that. Don't worry, you'll find the right man soon enough and find out what I mean."
Keiko glared at him for that comment, furrowing her brow. "You know I have a boyfriend, right? You -have- met him."
"Yeah. A -boyfriend-," Chaos scoffed. "What are you, twenty-four? Twenty-five? Yeah, you're old enough to be someone's -wife-. That 'boyfriend, girlfriend' ~/~ is for teenagers."
"Twenty-six," Keiko whispered, feeling heavily embarassed by Chaos's insinuation.
"Speaking of wives, I've got one to get home to. By the way, nice seeing you again, Sub. You still in charge right? You were a far better leader than that Ninetales hybrid ever was."
...okay, what just happened?
