JanTask - Evict the Sunkern by SnowKuki on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A quiet day in Tao Village saw a very angry-looking Quilava stomping through the Village. Rocket was muttering to himself as he passed by the fountain when he heard someone call out.

"Hey! Hey, you! Fire-Type!" the voice said. A flurry of feathers later and Cyclone the Swellow touched down in front of the fountain.

Rocket frowned at the bird. "What do you want?

She puffed her feathers a bit and looked him over. "You look awfully mean. Mind helping me with this problem? There’s a gang of Sunkern that’s crowding up my Awesome Gazebo and I need someone to clear them out," she told him, gesturing to the small structure to the side. There were yellow dots here and there covering it, inside and out, and she gave a deep frown at them.

"Are you serious? A gang of Sunkern?" Rocket repeated, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't believe her. Something so weak as a Sunkern was giving this Swellow a problem? He broke into a laugh. "What are you, a hatchling? You can't even deal with a bunch of Grass-Types? Lame!"

Cyclone gave him a dirty look and huffed up. "It's not like I'm weak! Who would want to hurt some kids anyway? You sure look like you do, so get to it!" she clacked her beak. "Or," she smirked, "are you too much of a wimp to handle some Grass-Types?"

The Quilava stomped up to Cyclone, looking her dead in the eye. "Are you challenging me, bird?! Don't even get me started. I'll take care of this garden for you, you pansy." He turned away harshly and made his way to the gazebo, bearing a furious look.

As Rocket neared the gazebo, he saw a group of Sunkern basking on the roof and resting inside. One of the Sunkern cracked an eye open and frowned. He hopped out and met Rocket halfway, staring at him.

"What do you want, bud? Want a fight?!" he taunted, shaking his small leaves and giving Rocket a glare.

"That's exactly what I want." Right then, his flames flared out as a warm up.

The Sunkern remained unfazed by this show of fire, giving a bored expression. "Are you trying to scare me? I've seen dirt do better!"

Rocket growled before rushing up to the Sunkern and giving him a sudden Brick Break to his head. The Sunkern didn't have time to yell in pain as he was knocked hard into the ground and instantly knocked out. The other Sunkern looked over in fear as Rocket rolled his shoulders.

Rocket smirked. "Now, who's next?"

----------

A little while later, Cyclone came over to see how the Task was going and stood next to Rocket, mouth agape. Rocket was patting off his paws as she stared in front of her with wide eyes.

"I finished clearing them out. It wasn't even a warm up," Rocket said with ease, gesturing to the pile of beaten and burnt Sunkern next to the gazebo. He turned to the still-silent Cyclone. "If that was it, then I'm out of here."

Cyclone finally found her voice and said, "Y-Yeah... Thanks a lot..."

Rocket paused as he was walking away and looked back. "Whatever." He continued to walk but with a very faint smile on his face.

==========

Second Task down~! I'm all done for this month, then. =w= This was a fun piece to do. It's been a while since Rocket had any fun just beating stuff up for the heck of it. This Task seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to just let out his steam. Poor Sunkern.
