York turned around rather slowly. Before plunking the cowboy hat slowly back on his head, cursing his luck. Looking at the spot where the Orbex had been only minutes before all he saw was a brown blur, followed soon after by a zig zag of the same blurs. York took a step back trying his best to avoid the next attack. Of course as usual the pokemon had the upper hand of surprise.
All four of his left hand claws seemed to double in length and turn to metal. Lifting the clawed appendage he slashed diagonally, right up and down. His face showing no emotion as yorks hat fell in pieces to the gorund, followed by a clump of hair. His lighter colored eyes returned the orbex's stare. Both of them staring angrily at eachother. "Go away." York hissed turning away from the Orbex. Only to have his neck almost twisted off by the psychic attack.
"As Minori told you tis always polite to look in someone's eyes when insulting them York. Never look away." The grating voice of the orbex resembled the sound of swishing gravel. The orbex knew that if he was gotten ahold of by a pravus member he was screwed, beign a bit hard of hearing he had missed the entire pravus conversation. Yet when his eyes settled on the envelope his face furrowed into a scowl. That was no ranger!
"Excuse him, he hasn't had his nap today." York said with a sigh. Ignoring all the prompt commands that the orbex gave him. Such as stand up when speaking to me., or ones as unpopular as 'watch your tone.' That had always been the one to set the smart bo York off. Yet over the years the scoldign had lost its razor edge. His ears deaf to the pokemon's comments he turned back to Misbe. Then to the totodile who had crawled back into his lap.Chewing on a piece of the cowboy hat as he snored.
"Ameth you owe me another damn hat, thats the third one this week! Can't you at least target something less important?" York said with a scowl. His voice barely audible, resembling a angry whisper.

(ooc| xD You called me Misbe)
Jack stood there motionless - and speechless, too. All the events took place so quickly that he didn't know what to do. The surprising events got Jack and his two Pokemon baffled, and their stares proved it.
"So, care to explain?" He started, scratching his head. Though Jack was smart enough to guess from the events, he wanted to listen to York. It seems that their little conversation earlier has made the Pravus commander a bit fond of the ranger. "Ameth?"

(Ooops....XD) York turned around to face Jack. Hoping that that was more bewilderment then a actual serious question. If it had been a serious inquiry then Jack knew that Ameth wasn't his pokemon. WHich woud be dangerous indeed, seeing as none of his pokemon but Ameth was anywhere near the levels of his pokemon. "Ameth is the nickname of the Orbex here. He started following me a few days ago, so I gave him a name instead of calling him, 'you."
The perplexed Orbex twisted his ead so he could get a better look at the traner's face. His voice a soft whisper. "Lying is only right when it is done correctly, and you were never very good at it York." Stamping his staff on the ground he turned towards Jack, Joker, and Queen. Bowing his head slightly in acknowledgement. "Greetings..Jack was it/ I do believe thats what these old ears heard. They really need to be checked out though." At the mention of the word ears oth of his twitched out. His purple eyes turning to the snoozing Totodile, who was up seconds later a bump from a well palced staff strike evident.
'totodi!TOTODILE!<Why do you always do that!?> The young pokemon asked scowling at the Orbex, who only shrugged in reply. The old pokemon was eyeing the Pravus commander trying to find somehthing wrong with his manners, which he didn't see anything right off, it was always York with the problems.

"It's nice to meet you, Ameth." Jack said in reply. It wasn't everyday that a trainer could meet a Pokemon such as this. "Following York, I see?" He asked, eyeing the rod that the Orbex held. He was interested in the powers that it had, remembering the words that York said only a few minutes ago. Could it really be helpful to the creation of pokemorphs?
Joker and Queen were as interested as Jack, but they didn't show it. They stayed silent next to him as Jack tried to start a conversation. It /was/ getting late, and Joker reminded Jack of the time by tugging on his shirt.
Jack tried to make it quick. He had other plans. "I didn't expect this conversation to last this long .." He, however, still wanted to investigate this Orbex.

The Orbex smiled at the good use of manners. "See, he knows quality when he sees it. Not liek some people--" Ameth turned his purple eyes to York just to make sure everyone knew who he was talkig about, although his next statement left no doubts, unless some other fellow had walked into the clearing who was a hat wearing scientist. "espeially the ones wearing cowboy hats, who can't sit in the office like a scientists supposed to." Ameth scoffed, leaning forward on his gem tipped staff. His head lying right above the flustered york's ears.
York smiled tightly at his chance to trash the Orbex as well. "He has been following me, and he will not go away---I mean I can understand I am so charming after all." The Totodile laughed quietly to itself, instantly curling back in his trainer's lap the second his eyes cast themselves downward. Slight snore like giggles were still evident every now and again. Whose side is Mawe on anyway? He should be on the side of the eprson who feeds him every night.
"They said you didn't talk much, amazed by the fact meself. As they say all work and no play --or no rest for the wicked might fit this sitaution better. Heheh" Although his thoughts did echo Misbe's at the moment. What he really wanted to knwo was why they had sent someone as high ranked as him out here. No doubt his spying skills would be put to better use elsewhere. Unless of course they knew, York hadn't known about the second Orbex paper in the folder. Nor would he want it there if he had seen it.

The actual reason that Jack was sent here by the President personally - was to check on "the ranger scientist". Although, Jack would never say that to York, since it would ruin his cover. There /have/ been words going around in Pravus, however, that say he isn't going according to the President's plans. This was a time to check.
And now Jack already knows what York was up to (including the Orbex that was "following" him), and he has the folders with the important files.
This should be enough, he thought. Another positive that happened from this encounter was that Jack now has another person he can come to for information gathering. After gazing at the Orbex and York make remarks about each other, he finally ended it.
"So, York, how can I reach you while you're out here?"

York looked up confused by the question. He blinked a few times before letting a smiel trail across his face. "Oh--I do have a cell(*insert random number here*). Although if you really need to contact me nad your still around her whistle once ." Pursing his lips together York let out a long whistle. Fluttering through the trees came his Mothdam seconds later.
York knew it was time to get back to work. The ranger knew he had to catch a ekans before he could leave this forest. Although his curiosity about where Jack was headed wanted to be answered. Not to mention one other question. "Mate, where you going after this?" York asked offhandedly. Turning his head into he stared up at Jack. The other question would be much better asked over the phone.
"Mawe we should be getting back to wrk, they do need some Treecko scales back at the lab after all." The Totodile jumepd from his lap as he stod up. Waving bye , he was soon gone in a burst of red light. York turnd to walk away, glaring at Ameth as he walked by. "You could have gotten us both in trouble." He muttered drawing a confused glance from the brown psychic/steel pokemon. He had been born in Pravus hwo could merely being around it get him in trouble?

Jack didn't need to write down the number, as he and his Pokemon have practiced remembering things like that in their memory. The whistle thing /was/ pretty handy, though. At the question, Jack turned the other way and started walking - his two pokemon trailing behind.
Stopping, he started to talk, but didn't look back at York. "Who knows," He admitted. "Who knows where I'll be going." He raised his hand for a goodbye, and Joker copied him. Queen, however, remained silent, and only followed her trainer. "I'll be seeing you around!"
---
Back at headquarters .. As the superiors read over the reports. They were all surprised. They didn't expect York to be doing a good job out there.
Jack had a good chuckle.

York nodded, taking a deep breath he walked out of the clearing. Khaki slowly faded into green, and seconds later into Shadows, of course York hadn't even noticed how he used his body to bend and blend into the shadowy forest. His eyes trailed up and he flashed a smile at Burma. "That went well eh guys?" Behind him Ameth let out a huge puff of air, his tail waving irritably behidn him.
"I do not see why I must tolerate you, nor your pathetic excuses for pokemon. Really you and your sister are not related." He mumbled angrily. Amazed by the fact that York didn't retalite in any way. Just let out a sigh and a slight roll of his eyes, which peeved the Orbex even more. Running ahead of York he disappeared into the bushes, leaving his staff at the side of the path.
A slightly amazed York watched his retreating tail as it disappeard. Without evn realizing it he had picked up the staff, only to yelp as it scorched his hand. closing his eyes to the pain he picked it up and stuck the gem tipped staff into his duffel bag, sighing as he went. Like he said, he has stuff to do, and I have a damned job to continue as well
