Down the dusty road between the many trees of the woods, Greta the Mudsdale trotted calmly with Cain atop her back, Sunny the Solrock floated alongside the Mudsdale with his entire body illuminated to provide light for rider and mount alike, Jolt the Emolga simply sat atop Cain's shoulder. "Hey Jolt, go see how our lil' friend's doin'." He said calmly, the Emolga nodded in response and jumped back and on to a bearded man dressed in rags with several scars across his face and body, the man's wrists were tied together as he occasionally squirmed violently only to be shocked by the flying squirrel Pokemon.
"For the umpteenth time, get me outta these damn ropes!" The man yelled while his left eye occasionally twitched. "And I'm tellin' you for the umpteenth time to shut up before I decide to bring you in dead than alive; maybe I can tie your legs to Greta's tail and have you get dragged along the dirt. Sound like fun?" Cain asked rhetorically as he saw what looked like a small town in the distance. "I din't do nothin' to deserve this, so what if I killed all those people, they had it comin' every last one of them; actin' all high and mighty, livin' the good life while I don't, havin' happy families while I live alone in misery because no one wants me, I'll even kill you! You and your worthless mama and papa, and I'll make you watch as-" The man's words were interrupted by Cain who got out his pistol and whacked him on the side of the head with it which caused him to black out.
"Keep talkin' like that and maybe I'll stay in town to watch the Sheriff hang you personally, maybe he'll be generous and let me pull the lever. Hopefully, I have known this one for quite a while." Cain said as they neared the town, it was a quiet town, which was understandable thanks to the late hour, although he was greeted by a few of the law enforcers who patrolled the streets to which Cain responded with a tip of his hat. The Solrock's light faded as Greta moved up to a hitch so Cain could get off and get the man off, the latter woke up before he got off. "What is this, where ar-" He was once again interrupted when he saw Cain aim a revolver directly at his bearded face. "Sheriff's office, now." Cain said sternly, the man tried to make a run for it, but was immediately stopped by Sunny who levitated his body off the ground. "Thanks sunny." Cain said to his Solrock with a smile and followed Cain to the office.
Cain opened the door to let Solrock come in with the criminal. "Good to see you again, Reginald, I gotcha a gift." Cain said while the Sheriff slowly stood up from his chair, behind Reginald's desk was a tall Machamp who had both pairs of arms folded, Reginald was a rather chubby man who seemed to be bald with the only visible hair on his head being a goatee. "Well I'll be a Mankey's uncle, Cutthroat Cliff. Hangin' you's gonna make a lotta people real happy, Cain, if you would?" Reginald said with a smile as his Machamp opened the cage door. "Here you go, Cliff. Home sweet home." Cain said as he undid Cliff's rope and shoved him in to the cage, the second the door closed, Cliff attempted to reach out and grab Cain as if he were a wild animal. "Y'all won't get away with this! I'll break out, I'll find you and I'll kill you! I'm gonna slice you open and-!"
"Shut up!" Cain and Reginald shouted in unison while the latter opened a drawer in his desk and got out a stack of money which he gave to Cain. "A reward for a job well done." Reginald said. "Thank you Reggie, how long do you think it'll be until you decide to hang this fool?" Cain asked as he put the money in his pocket. "I'd say a few days at best. Why, you plan on stayin' for a lil' while?" Reginald asked. "Most likely, I've had to drag this bastard for Arceus knows how long, my Pokemon pals need more of a break than I do." Cain replied.
"Perhaps you can join me for a drink tomorrow?" Reginald asked as he put his hand on Cain's shoulder. "A drink sounds nice, I'll consider it." Cain said with a small smile. "Aww look at you too bein' all lovey-dovey with each other." Cliff said in a mocking tone, Cain sighed and walked closer to the cage, Cliff attempted to reach out and grab him only for Cain to immediately punch him in the face and knock him back. The Machamp covered his mouth with one of his hands in an attempt to hold back laughter. "Well... I'll see you tomorrow." Cain said as he clicked his knuckles and walked out of the Sheriff's office.
