[Paranormal Critters] When Did Pokemon Exist?

It was another day at the adoption center. There was a light crowd of people coming in and out of the place. The manager assigned Raul the rodent section for today, so he was taking care of fuzzy little rodents. While he knew there was a volunteer coming in today that normally took care of them, he heard that a huge litter of mice came in. Because of this, the section was filled with more critters than normal. They weren't normal mice either; the mice were lightning types. They zipped around everywhere.

The red-haired man frantically scrambled to grab a few that escaped their cage. They were so young, yet they were already bolting about. He couldn't keep up with the freaking creatures. They were just tiny little speedsters.

"Damnit, why they gotta assign me with the pichus?!"

A playful squeak came out of one as if to taunt the dragon for being unable to catch a mere mouse. He lunged for the taunter, but the mouse rapidly dodged. He laid on the ground grumbling as the three mice kept running about the area.

Milo arrived to the shelter for his volunteer work like usual, fairly relaxed, taking his time putting his coat and bag in his locker, shrugging on an apron- which he always brought and cleaned for himself. It was pink, with little white hearts dotted all over, because he wouldn't wear anything less adorable when doing his work here, thank you very much.

When he left the staff area and started making his way to the rodent section, though, there were noises than indicated some kind of havoc going down. He easily slipped into a faster pace, but…

He just had to raise an eyebrow at the display he'd been presented with, for a moment or so, before actually moving into amused rescue mode. Incredible.

The young fae man crouched down, holding out his hands, chirping and chittering fondly. Two of the three mice were over to him near instantly, blink and you'd miss them, and he set them on his shoulders. The third took some slight coaxing, especially when it had found such an entertaining thing to play with (aka, damsel in distress redhead punk), but was won over when Milo offered his sleeve for it to crawl into and be cozy in.

Lastly, Milo offered a hand up to his defeated coworker. "Hope you didn't get bullied too much."

Just then, Mary Poppins came in to save the day! He swooped in and quickly beckoned the little mice over. He roped them all up with ease. Raul would've laughed at his attire if it wasn't for the fact that Rat Princess just rescued his ass. He accepted the hand and slowly stood up. He eyed the little rascals as they rested on Milo's shoulders. He would defeat the pichus someday.

"Eh, it a'irght. Rodents ain't my thing, ya know?"

The dragon took a moment to admire the babies. They all had cute, colorful fur and beady little eyes. They were charming little beasts. His face broke out into a goofy grin.

"They real cute though. The one ya got in yar sleeve is a real troublemaker tho."

He could hear the little bastard squeak at him. That mouse was so laughing at his expense. He didn't know how to speak to mice, but he knew when he was getting made fun of damnit! His eyes glanced over at the cages they were kept in. Yep, it was closed with the other babies going about their business. Some were zooming all around while others relaxed. He turned his head back to Milo and raised his hand for a handshake.

"Name's Raul. They put me here 'cause of all the new mice. I normally wit' the dogs."

Milo shrugged, and showed just the barest signs of a smile. "That's why I'm here, they very much are my thing."

He stroked a mouse on his shoulder gently with a finger, and couldn't help a more full grin coming across his face to match the other man's. Could never keep his usual, more severe default expression when presented with a bunch of fuzzy babies, not even if he tried.

"They don't mean any real harm, just very mischievous. Rodents are smart, independent, like challenges- and, well, screwing around- as much as they like cuddling. Ultimately still care the most about being with people, though. Not malicious unless they're trauma-" He coughed. Rambling. "Sorry. I'll save speeches like that for customers."

Milo reached in his sleeve, getting an affectionate nibble in response. He didn't talk to mice like he did with rats, but he didn't need to, the tone was familiar enough. And his coworker was an easy target for overly-energetic little fluffballs.

He followed the gaze to the cages, but quickly decided he'd let the three mice hang out with him for a bit longer, no harm in giving them some extra stimuli. It'd help to tucker them out, in his experience. After a moment more of checking just to see if all the water bottles, food, and bedding looked okay, he turned back and took the redhead's hand. He gave it a firm shake.

"Milo. Glad to have you helping out, Raul, just check in with me for a lot of things, okay?" He paused, then laughed. "Ah, that explains your trouble with the brats. Definitely not obedient. Bribe them with food and affection before anything else, that's my advice."

The two workers shook hands. Thanks to Milo, the mice were chilling out instead of zipping around like before. The other rodents were doing okay. It's a good thing they thought to call in someone that regularly worked in the rodents section or else Raul would've been screwed. The goofy grin on his face returned. He was relieved to have someone else here. Looking at it now, those pichus were pretty cute. Suddenly a baby fire hamster started coughing. His eyes shifted over to the hamster. It kept coughing until finally a giant fireball went flying out of its mouth. Raul just blinked in mild confusion.

"It a'ight. I could use da help, tho I know sum of that stuff 'cause I work here. Even I do work with canines a lot."

The hamster was now learning how to breathe fire! It got excited and started coughing fireballs all over the place. The dragon debated if they should do something about that. While it was thankfully caged, it might not have been the best idea for it to go bonkers. It could get into some serious trouble that way. Thankfully it didn't seem like any of the neighbors would be affected by the fire hamster. Suddenly another one in the same cage also started breathing fire too.

"Fire hamsters...well ain't that cute."

He tried to maintain his tough composure, but he wanted to pinch the cheeks of the little creatures that were now demonstrating their abilities. They wanted to spit out all of the fireballs! Burn everything!

"Ya got any pets, Milo? And uh, should we do sumthin' 'bout that?"

The dragon pointed at the little babies.
