[PRP] Private Tour

[Blood_Goddess]

Living in and out of a hotel room during an extended trip to an island, as well as the day to day living expenses was starting to take a noticeable toll on the travel budget that Rayan had brought with her.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but with recent events involving her ejection from the League Rayan was now faced with a new predicament... she couldn't make money off of pokemon battles anymore, leaving her only other option with getting an actual job.

Talk about a new experience! But Ray wasn't one to shy away from something like that! HAH! yeah right, nothing could stop her from doing what she needed to do.
SO! She went looking for a job.

It took some searching, but after getting back in touch with a few people she had met around her travels on the island, she was offered a job in Sagestone Town, acting as a tour guide for tourists interested in learning about and exploring some of the cave systems in the town.

Ray had to admit, it wasn't bad, the trails seemed a bit repetitive for her tastes, and she was limited to certain arias to ensure the tourists would be lost or injured, but the way she figured it... she could be doing a lot worse.

"Alright Greg, see you tomorrow." The tall women raised a hand in a briefer, casual gesture as her new boss wished her a good day and took off to find the newest group of tourists.
It was later afternoon by now, and the day was hot, hot, hot.
Rayan was taking her time as she slumped down on one of the benches set up by the tourists waiting arias, long wiry arms splaying out along the black of the bench.
It was much too hot for her jacket, instead she wore a dark green tank stop, fitted loosely on her long thin frame. it helped to accentuate the usually unassuming muscle structure the women had, apposing the seeming lack of breast and hip size.

Her hair was tied up out of her face today, freeing both half lidded mossy eyes from any obstructing vision. her shirt seemed damp, as were the heavy duty pants and boots she wore for her work.

letting out a soft sign, Rayan leaned her head back, closing her eyes and just listened to the noises of people around her as she let the sun help dry her off.
She should probably get some water soon.  

[Tymiko]

Water was exactly what the new tour guide got, though perhaps not in the way expected. While Rayan may have been allowing the sun to dry her off, a certain Vaporeon couldn't help himself when he saw the unusual woman so casually lying back on a bench. He came from behind and shot a blast of water at the back of her head.

It was a shame he didn't know something weaker like Water Gun or Bubble Beam; the closest he could manage was a reduced version of Surf. Thus, though the target had been the back of her head, the stranger may have gotten more than either she or her attacker had aniticpated.

The pokemon's trainer noticed this from several yards away. She had been running toward them as fast as she could but still hadn't been fast enough to prevent the water-type from committing his crime. Crying out when the tour guide was struck, Ty stopped in her tracks and tensed in shock. Why couldn't she ever keep Fathom in his ball like he was supposed to be?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Are you okay?!" The girl forced herself forward toward Fathom's target, ignoring her pokemon for the time being. If he knew what was good for him, he wouldn't try anything else while Ty was checking on his victim.  

[Blood_Goddess]

The jet of water was very sudden, and completely unexpected, had she been aware of a pokemon meaning to shoot a jet of water at the back of her head she might have been able to dodge it easy enough. but instead, the women was jerked forward off of the bench with a yelp of surprise.

Her feet were quick to react however, helping to keep the tall women from falling flat on her face.
Boots catching the momentum of the force, and lifting her to a stand, where he remained for only a split second, before the dipping wet head whipped around at what the heck had just re introduced a new wave of water to her nearly dry clothes.

Mossy eyes blinked, her eyebrows arching as she saw, a stunning blue Vaporeon and a frantic young trainer apologizing frantically.
"Huh." Ray stated simply, reaching up to shake some water out of her braid. "Well, that's one way to issue a battle challenge."
Her eyes turned back to the young girl, eyes glinting with the trainers thirst for the challenge, and sized up her 'opponent.'
pretty young, though definitely a trainer, it was the way she dressed, and the build of her body, travel sturdy.

A wide grin spread over her lips. "The name is Rayan C. Kenney. And I accept your challenge!"
ah, those words always rolled off of her tongue, she missed that far too much.  

[Tymiko]

"A-a battle?" This was clearly not what the water trainer had in mind, but at least the young woman didn't seem too bothered by Fathom's antics. Besides, Ty wasn't one to turn down an opportunity for a battle. It just didn't seem very fair since now that lady was soaking wet after she had probably been trying to relax. "Are you surrre...? Right now?"

But the pale-haired, moss-green-eyed young woman was grinning and had already introduced herself. The girl couldn't help but smile back. "Well, if you really want to...you're on!" What an interesting opponent this would be - someone who was prepared to battle at the drop of a hat!

Casting a half-frown at her Vaporeon, Tymiko beckoned him with a curled finger. He did as she bade him, his fins drooping sheepishly as he stood before her, poised and ready. "Rayan, huh? Well, Rayan - or Miss Kenney," the trainer added uncertainly, not sure which the other preferred, "I'm Tymiko, and this naughty pokemon is Fathom. We'd be happy to be your opponents!"

Reaching into the travelling bag at her side, the girl brought out a folded towel she used when she went swimming during her journeys. "But would you maybe wanna dry off a little, first?" Ty asked, holding out the cloth and looking embarrassed.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Call me Ray" the women announced with another smirk, putting her hands on her hips and shaking her head at the offered towel "And naw, its just water, nothing that the sun won't take care of soon." She explained with a wave of her hand.

When the younger trainer accepted her battle challenge Rayan looked pleased, looking over the Vaporeon "Fathom" She repeated, then up at the girl again "And Tymiko."
Letting her arms drop, she stood a step forward, but made no attempt to reach for a pokeball, in fact it didn't look like she even had any on her.
"Though, we're going to have to do things a little different then you might expect" The tall women added with a wink.
"You see, I don't actually have any pokemon. So, this challenge is going to have to be based on different trainer skills."  

[Kitomyx]

"Alright, Ray!" Ty answered gleefully. "If you say so." Putting the towel, she silently admired the young woman's tough attitude.

Nodding once in confirmation when Ray repeated their names, the girl's mouth dropped at the guide's confession. She then burst into peals of laughter. "Okay," she agreed, positively tickled by the proposition. "This sounds like fun. What are we going to do?"

Fathom blinked once and cringed at his trainer's sudden outburst. He looked uncertainly from Ray to Ty to Ray again, completely lost.
