Daxton refused to budge, reaching up to scratch behind his ear with his free hand and watch the interaction between the two Pokemon. Frostbite seemed absolutely unbothered by the now rocking egg, and the Joltik was just as unbothered as well. Blowing some of his bangs out of his eyes, he looked back to the dumpster.
"Sure demanding for someone in a dumpster." He commented, rubbing the eyelid that started to twitch. It wouldn't be long before he had to tend to the egg, so they'd best wrap this up quickly in some manner or another. So after yet another moment, he reached next to him and pulled open the small square door on the side just enough to look in. "Learn anything yet?"
He ran through a sewer with a cut on his leg from a wound, the smell of the dumpster did anything but bother him. He barely registered it as he stared at her. "What's your fucking affiliation anyways? I'd say fucking moron like any Plasma fuck, but I've met some pretty stupid resistance grunts too."

THINK BEFORE I SPEAK BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOT A TEMPER | Sure demanding for someone in a dumpster. The attitude of this guy. Ashley grumbled something under her breath in response, but with the lid still closed it was probably too quiet to actually hear from outside. Her teeth were clenched tight in anger, and her aching hands were still clenched into fists - although she wasn't going to start punching again. It hadn't been helping her up to this point, and it wasn't going to suddenly start helping now. Sure, she was nowhere near calm - but she was at least making some logical thoughts. The side door opened slightly without any real warning for the teen, spilling at least some light into the dark and trash-filled container. It definitely wasn't open enough for Ashley to even attempt to use it to get out, so she didn't even start to try. Lifting her head off of the wall, so she could look through the gap to the outside, she shot one of her deepest glares at the male slooking in at her. The effect was probably lessened slightly by the presence of the trash she was sat on, and her general location of inside a dumpster, but the intention was still there. Somehow, she managed to bit her tongue and hold back any comments as he spoke. Learn Anything? The actual audacity of this man. First he gets in her way, then throw her away with the garbage, and now he acts like this was some kind of teaching moment. After a few seconds of quiet seething, anger still bubbling up inside of her, Ashley mumbled a confirmation through clenched teeth - or at least she started to. As soon as she heard the next comments and questions sent her way, her anger hit its peak - her eyes widening for a second in both anger and shock, before settling into an even deeper glare of almost hatred. Oh she'd been angry before sure, she'd been angry in this interaction, but the rage that she felt at even the insinuation of her being Plasma - all attempts to stay under control at this exact moment were gone. "What the fuck did you just say? Plasma? You think I'm a member of fucking Plasma?!" Her volume rose with each word spoken, and Ashley slowly pushed herself into a more upright position - no longer leaning on the dumpster wall. She opened her mouth to speak again, but couldn't find the right words to actually use - so all that came out was some kind of mix between a frustrated growl and a slight scream. Ignoring the pain in her scarred hands, Ashley tried to move herself forward towards the small door - in an attempt to pull it further open. She didn't have an actual plan in mind, forcing her way out through the door was a stupid idea but if she could she would probably try. Or maybe she was trying to lash out or grab the male, yet another dumb idea that would almost definitely fail or backfire. In honestly, there was a high likelihood that she didn't even succeed in opening the door - it wasn't like she was the one with the better physical strength out of the two of them. |

Now he thought he was the angry one. At least he had some sense of rational to his bitter, seething rage. His explosive anger that resulted in more than enough people getting laid out in his time. But just because he seemed like the calm one didn't mean that he wasn't equally as angry. "Then shut your fucking mouth before I beat it shut for you. You're so god damned loud, you're going to attract a grunt at this fucking rate. Or someone who'll go get one. And I don't feel like hiding another god damned body."
He watched as she got up to charge at the door and slammed it open. Dumpster sounds were common in these parts, hell, you could probably hear some dumpsters getting rattled in other alleyways by scavenging pokemon. "Go ahead. Fucking touch me. I'll beat some common sense into your hollow fucking skull."

THINK BEFORE I SPEAK BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOT A TEMPER | Ashley was not expecting the door to fully opened so suddenly, half expecting it to be slammed in her face instead - but at least it meant she avoided getting her fingers crushed. Unfortunately, it meant the was nothing to grab onto once her hands reached their target destination - and Ashley felt herself falling forwards, face first towards the dumpster wall. The only thing that stopped her was a panicked reaction to grab the bottom of the opening, although it was not the most comfortable thing to grip when her hands were already painful and irritated.
Luckily, the almost fall had shocked a little bit of sense into her clouded mind - just enough allow for at least some control over her actions. It also helped that all evidence seemed to point to him being a fellow member of the Resistance, all evidence based on his comments at least. Of course she still wanted to hit him, she was still angry, but her one logical thought pointed out how dumb it would be to start a fight with the first Resistance member she saw since officially joining herself. It also wouldn't help if she drew in the attention of Plasma while stuck in this confrontation.
In an attempt to hold herself back, Ashley tightened her grip on the dumpster opening despite any discomfort it caused. She didn't try to hide her glare, but she did bite her tongue once again to keep herself quiet for now. If she tried to speak she would probably worsen the situation anyway. |

Daxton looked down at her, the flipped the lid of the dumpster open. They created enough noise as is, what with the volume and dumpster noises. As Zeus always told him, you can't fix stupid... at least in playful reference to his father that's what he had said but it also seemed to apply to so many people he came across.
Without a word, he walked off to go pick up the Seviper egg that was starting to rock more, saving it from grating against the ground even more. "Frostbite." He muttered to the Spheal tippy tappying her flippers in amusement towards the Joltik. This grabbed her attention and she jiggled as she bounced to look at him more directly.
Now that he had his Pokemon's attention, he turned to give the dumpster a look, carrying the egg in one arm with ease.

THINK BEFORE I SPEAK BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOT A TEMPER | Ashley pushed herself away from the small opening, and watched as the lid above her opened up once again. For a moment she considered trying to climb out of the side door instead, but even with her relatively small size it would be a difficult fit - and her scarred arms were already struggling.
She waited a few seconds before rising to stand properly in the trash, just in case the decision was made to slam the lid closed on her again. A few items, that had gotten caught on the bottom of her jacket, fell down with the movement - some of them leaving behind an obvious dirty spot. She would have to stop by a cheap hotel again to get changed sooner rather than later - but that was the least of her problems.
Corn tapped his own small feet on the ground towards Frostbite, completely oblivious to the tension in the air. While Ashley was still frowning and clearly frustrated, the little electric-type was just having a good time. He'd already decided that both the Spheal and egg were his new friends, regardless of whether that feeling was shared between them. When Frostbite's name was spoken - and the egg was picked up off of the ground - Corn looked up at the male human, with his head tilted to the side slightly.
"So are you just going to leave now?" Ashley tried to control her voice, keeping the volume relatively quiet and attempting to control her tone to hide at least some of the lingering frustration. She wasn't really looking for an answer honestly. She was slightly distracted anyway, her next dilemma being how she was getting out of this dumpster without too much trouble. It wouldn't be impossible, but it would probably be slightly awkward. |

Daxton spared the Joltik a glance, deciding to crouch down and nod to the little creature. He also set the egg back down so he could go help the Joltik's owner out of the dumpster. There's a chance she wasn't nearly athletic as him, and was probably incapable or hardly capable of vaulting over the edge of the dumpster to escape it.
Typically he wouldn't care but...
She was annoying. "C'mere." He grunted, reaching into the dumpster to grab an arm and help her out. "And yes. I'm fucking leaving. Sick of this city. No interesting Pokemon have popped up yet." He groused, listening to Frostbite start up her tippy tappying yet again.

THINK BEFORE I SPEAK BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOT A TEMPER | Corn let out a happy little noise when he was nodded at, scuttling in a small circle for a few seconds afterwards. Once the egg was back on the ground again, the electric-bug moved closer and sniffed at the outer shell slightly.
Ashley was still figuring out her plan of escape from the dumpster when help was offered to her, and without even thinking she began to grumble something about not needing any help - all because she was too proud to admit she would struggle. Before she got close to finishing the complaint though, Ashley tightly closed her mouth to shut herself up - frowning slightly. She needed to actually think about what she was doing for once in her life, before he changed his mind and found a way to lock her in with the trash this time.
Finally swallowing a bit of her destructive pride, Ashley allowed the male to grab her upper arm to help her out - trying to avoid any more irritation the worst areas right now. She still tried to do most of the work herself, but it was helpful to have assistance.
Once her feet were on solid ground again, Ashley let out a slight sigh of both relief and frustration. Once again her frustration was mainly aimed at herself, something that was becoming an unwelcome pattern over these last few days.
"Thanks..." She mumbled the word out without really looking at the male who helped her, not doing the best job at actually showing her gratitude. Instead she focused her eyes on the two Pokemon and egg sat on the floor nearby.
"You picky about what you're looking for then?" Technically, interesting was definitely a word she could use to describe the Pokemon she'd seen in Hyo so far - she had found and caught Bean after all. She didn't comment on his feelings towards the City as a whole, mainly because she both agreed and disagreed. Hyo was pretty shit, but it was also like home to her - so she had a slight soft-spot for the area. |

He helped her out and let go of her as soon as it was ok to, turning back to the egg to put a hand to the shell, calm despite the bucking of the egg. It was going to hatch early at this rate, so he just let out an annoyed sigh, letting the two Pokemon stay by the egg. "Yes. And if it doesn't suit my team, it's training material." He muttered, turning to look back at Ashley, face neutral, but with an aura of anger about him.
Frostbite was still happy tapping a song out, watching the egg with the Joltik. She was incredibly juxtaposition, personality wise, to the rest of her teammates and especially her owner. But Daxton didn't seem to mind her happiness, in fact... it would've probably been funny to observe the deadpan giant man with the happy go lucky and very shy Spheal tapping away on the ground.
He loathed this place, but also, he grew up in a small little town called Dewford. It wasn't polluted. It wasn't illegal to train. And it was small and he actually had a friend there.

THINK BEFORE I SPEAK BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOT A TEMPER | Ashley rubbed at her hands slightly as soon as she was out of the dumpster properly, stretching out her fingers slightly after having them in clenched fists for so long - and of course after punching a solid object for who knows how long. She hadn't expected to face any consequences to her actions this early, that was meant to be a problem for future Ashley to deal with - although technically she was that future Ashley now.
She frowned slightly at Daxton's response to her question, but kept her mouth shut until she was sure she wasn't going to say something dumb this time. Sure she was slightly picky herself when it came to Pokemon - she wasn't exactly looking for fire-types to join her team, and she'd accidentally made a choice between options when finding Bean - but she still needed to build some kind of team that was more than her and two Pokemon. As much as she was convinced she could probably win a fight by herself, she needed backup to help her just in case.
Maybe he just already had a pretty big team. Up until that point she'd just assumed he was only travelling with an egg and a Spheal, but it made sense that he probably wasn't. After all, she still had Bean tucked away in his Pokeball, which honestly was probably lucky with how things had gone. Was the rest of his team similar to the Spheal? Is that why he needed to find a Pokemon that suited the team? She had no idea, and she wasn't about to ask just yet.
"It's probably the best place to train that one when it hatches though, right?" She motioned slightly to the egg. She'd seen a few Pokemon eggs in her life, her parents hatching some in secret when she was younger, but she was no expert and she wasn't about to take a guess at when it would hatch honestly. |
