Born to be Wild (Kai)

Clover smiled as she snapped a photo of the ancient Pokemon exhibit with her phone. It was around the fifteenth photo she'd taken at the zoo, despite only being there for no longer than ten minutes, so it was safe to say she'd be taking a lot more pictures. A bit daunting, but hey, it was part of her job, and she wasn't the one that'd be sorting through them for info.

That was what she was really at the zoo for in the first place: information. The zoo already housed a load of rare Pokemon, yet according to zoo officials, they would soon be receiving a load of unique specimens to display as part of some sort of event. There'd be starter Pokemon, variants of well-known species, and even a shiny or two. Quite the collection the zoo had prepared...and that was perfect for Team Rocket. If they were to get their hands on the Pokemon themselves, they'd have plenty of great Pokemon to play with, plus a whole load of valuable ones to sell.

So, that was why Clover was taking pictures. If she could find out any useful information about the zoo and what was in it, she'd be able to expect quite the reward. Granted, she wouldn't be getting a fortune, and she wasn't the only grunt skulking around, but that was fine. She didn't even know where those grunts were, anyways, so she could handle things by herself.

Say cheese!

[Kai Kaitos]

How strange, to find himself back at Vester ZOo once more - it were as if something were keeping pulling the gijinka male back here again and again even when there were occasions - like today - where his original intention had not been to come here rather it had been as a result of the supposed new selection of pokemon that would be arriving here within the immediate future. Apparently it would seem as if the higher ups at the zoo itself wanted some form of police or ranger pressence to ensure that it would put off any potential trouble makers or the like.

That was ultimately what had brought KAi here today, after all it would take him a bit of time to ensure that he would patrol around the vast area that was the zoo and otherwise ensure he were more familliar with the layout and all else that may come up that would be of importance and use for him overall. It would also give Kai the opportunity to focus on anything else than what he had otherwise been focusing so much on over the previous weeks.

If nothing else it had proven to be more than interesting to simply observe all those who came and went and seemingly enjoyed the time in which they spent within this large place, KAi had done a small circuit of one of the nearby areas in which held a selection of flying types before having made his way to where the 'ancient' pokemon resided. From what he had been told and otherwise observed this had a tendency to pull in quite a few people but as he would make his way here now it would appear quieter than anticipated - well, other than maybe one or two people lingering around taking pictures.

Well, needless to say KAi were not going to waste such an opportunity and would find himself casually wandering nearer to where the enclosure was in order to get a better view, ensuring he avoided getting in the way of anyone who happened to be taking pictures of course.

"Alright, over here, show off those teeth!" Clover called out as she prepared to take another picture. She had her eye on a fierce-looking Tyrunt in the ancient Pokemon exhibit that seemed more than happy to receive the love and attention of the zoo-goers, and it seemed like no trouble at all to get it to do a quick pose for the camera. Clover had to admit, it was oddly cute, but getting a good snapshot at the teeth on it...

Yeah, whichever one of the grunts that'd be wrangling that thing would have to be careful.

"Thanks, precious!" she smiled as she waved off the proud Tyrunt. She knew that her work was technically so that the grunts that'd be swooping in soon would know just what to expect, but she had to admit, just being at the zoo was kinda fun. Sure, looking at pictures of the rare Pokemon were fine for her, and zoo livestreams were pretty cool, too, but being able to actually interact with the Pokemon herself? There was just something so charming about that. Especially when so many of the Pokemon were so unique...It made her wonder what her "cut" would be for assisting in the robbery. A regional variant would be interesting, but she was honestly hoping she could do what she'd passed up on doing back when she was a kid and pick herself up a Grookey. Those things were so cute! A Porygon or a Rotom would be good, too, especially since-

"Shouldn't we be looking for something more substantial than which Pokemon have the sharpest teeth?"

Clover turned her head as something from right next to her stalled her train of thought. Turned out it was just Puffy, the Drifloon she'd won a short while back. She couldn't really understand the ghost balloon, but from what she could tell, he was well-behaved enough...even if he seemed to be getting a little impatient at the moment.

"Alright, champ, how about we move on and find something else to take pictures of?" She put her phone down for a second and considered her options. She'd sorta skimmed the map given to her at the entrance, and it seemed to have fallen out of her pocket at some point, so all in all, she wasn't really sure where to go next. Maybe there was someone nearby.

Looking around, there were only a couple people, oddly. The zoo must've been a bit quieter than most days. Even still, there was at least one guy who seemed like he'd be able to help. At a glance, it was just some guy with yellow ears, which obviously stuck out like a sore thumb, but he seemed approachable enough. "Excuse me, sir?" Clover waved at him. "Do you know if there's anything around here worth taking a look at? I'm afraid I've lost my map."

It begins...

[Kai Kaitos]

And it would not only be the young green haired female that would come to be struggling to decide upon just where to go to next in order to look at the pokemon that were there, for Kai would only be having the self same trouble - the fact that there were indeed so many places in which to visit here probably did not help all that much in the long run. This would be the very reason that Kai would have been more than glad that he had bought a map of the zoo in order to look over it at such a time as this in order to help himself decide, all the more so when although the 'ancient / fossil' pokemon area and the pokemon within such were an interesting sight to behold along with the various spots around the enclosure that held various pieces of information had certainly improved his knowledge of such beings.

After all although the gijinka male were technically here for work but at the same time it did not mean that he couldn't also make use of the time he were spending here also could he? For it could otherwise prove to be more than useful to know more about some of the other pokemon species that were kept here - or soon to here at the very least - and then make efforts to work with whoever else were patrolling here in order to focus upon specifc area's. So just where to start?

So engrossed in looking over the map and generally not fully paying attention to what were going on around him for an age, it would have been when someone would appear to be addressing him - or at least who else could it be being addressed given the fact there were not many other people around? - this reason in itself were more than enough to get the yellow haired gijinka male reacting. Yellow ears perking upright and facing forward moments before the yellow haired man would lift his gaze up and over to the one who were addressing him - in this case a green haired female that were moving towards him and speaking - before coming to fully register just what she were asking and as such looking between the female and the map that he were holding within his hands before finally shrugging a little.

"Depends on what you would consider worthwhile? Since anything I may suggest may not be of interest to you - that and I don't work here so it's not like I am the sort who typically gets paid to help zoo visitors out and offer guided tours." Would the yellow haired man counter with a hint of curiosity after what felt like an age.

Clover may not have been the first person to depend on the kindness of strangers, but that didn't stop her from doing so anyway. The guy she picked out of the 3-ish people within her vicinity seemed like someone who could help her out well enough, especially with that map he was holding. All she needed was his cooperation, really.

Turns out, the guy wasn't against helping her, per say, but he seemed a bit like he didn't know what to tell her. Hell, when she'd first approached him, he kinda seemed like he wasn't the most attentive to his surroundings, so who knew if he'd even be able to point her in any sort of direction? She supposed that wasn't a big deal, though, since all she needed was his map, really.

"I wasn't asking for a paid tour, love," she corrected him, stepping forward to see if she could get a glimpse of the map in his possession. "I just wanna know what's nearby. Thus far, I've gone from the entrance straight to the exhibit with the cheek pouch Pokemon, then past the one with all the Fighting-types, and...now I'm here, I guess. I think maybe there's an exhibit with a bunch of possessed object Pokemon near here, but I don't know how to get there from here."
