Cash. It wasn't one of Lin's favourite things, but it often turned out to be a necessity. The world was turned in favour of trainers- registered trainers- and so Lin, unregistered as he was, found himself exploring as many options as he could think of in a quest for a little more legal tender; both legal and not so much, though he'd never really thought of himself as a criminal.
Today, though, was a day for honest work. An advertisement had managed to catch his eye and he'd managed to get himself a little work, helping to clear a long-neglected yard for someone who had just moved into a previously abandoned property.
The elderly couple who'd placed the ad' were nice enough, if a little bit... out of touch with the world, he supposed. They were kind, but he doubted they'd pay as well as they imagined they were. Still, at least it was better than working for someone on the opposite end of the scale, even if he had to refuse cups of tea a little much.
Jeeves seemed to be enjoying himself; the grass type was happily using his vines to remove dead bracken from a hedge that looked long-choked.

Ryuko wasn't a stranger to picking up temporary work at this point, though this was the first time she'd looked into the matter in the unfamiliar region of Kodo. She was glad to find that it was pretty much as straightforward as it had been in Kanto: find an ad, follow up, and show up on time. Unfortunately, the last point was one that she missed by a bit - not by much, but enough to warrant apologizing (she'd ditched her cellphone for cash once the service had been cut, so precision timekeeping was a bit of a challenge in recent times). What was frustrating was knowing that there was another hire who had already arrived and started, putting her in the undesirable position of having to apologize to them as well, and so it was with a frown that she proceeded through to the yard. Indeed, there was already somebody there.
"Uh, hey," she called awkwardly, surveying the area. Yeah, this place was a wreck, all right. "I guess you're on this job too? Sorry I'm late." Bleh, there. Addressing the red bug-type at her side, she jerked her head towards the flowerbed along the perimeter of the foundation, bordered with bricks and choked with weeds. The Scizor acknowledged her meaning and followed her forward. Seemed as good a place as any to start, since it looked like the hedges were being handled.

Lin currently had his arm thrust into the hedge, trying to pull out some brambles himself, despite the fact that his pokémon was doing the same job, apparently without worrying too much over thorns... Or perhaps having just forgotten they were there.
Snivy and human both turned their heads as Ryuko announced herself, the former giving a sweeping glance across girl and Scizor and offering a slightly formal bow, the latter giving a less formal, rather more enthusiastic form of greeting.
"Oh, well, hello miss! A pleasure to be working alongside a beautiful lady!" His eyes then found the Scizor and his gaze seemed to brighten a touch more. "Oh wow. Nice to meet you both, actually! Haven't met many of those." He pulled his hand from the brambles, while Jeeves rolled his eyes, walking to approach his co-worker.

She paused, raising an eyebrow, and gave her eventual response in a flat tone, "...Uh huh. Nice to meet you too." 'Beautiful lady,' huh. This guy sure was a piece of work.
The Scizor, despite his inability to speak in reply, was more sociable than his trainer, bowing slightly in greeting. "That so?" Ryuko replied, willing to indulge in a polite amount of conversation. She gestured to the Snivy, "Where I'm from, those are even rarer though."
