Ruby is a huntress.

It was simply a fact of life; she'd grown up always knowing that's what she'd be. A slayer of Grimm and protector of the common good.

During her life, Ruby had hunted down countless Grimm, whole hordes of them, alone. She had faced armies of them with just a few teammates and her trusty weapon, always coming out on top. Yet she'd never faced anything quite like what she was up against now. Never before had she faced a prey so cunning, so devious, so frustrating as the one she was currently up against.

It must have been days ago since she started to track it; the only sign of its existence was a few footprints. Not the most promising of starts, but it was something. At least it's more than nothing?

While hunting it was definitely outside the parameters of Ruby and Pyrrha's mission, that didn't stop the short redhead from making it her personal mission to see that this particular creature was found before they left.

The prey in question was a lucky find to say the least; just from the footprints, Ruby knew it was far outside of its normal habitat. Which only increased Ruby's determination to find it.

She followed it high and low, following the footprints in what must have been in circles whenever Ruby and her girlfriend had a break between Grimm eliminations. Slowly but surely, she was closing in on the prey, the footsteps being the only indication of it.

Quite suddenly the fight of Ruby's life was upon her.

Naturally, Ruby aggressively went after it, throwing all her normal tricks at it, to no avail. There was no success to be found in conventional thinking. Yet even the unorthodox failed her. In a few short minutes, Ruby was left with nothing as her prey made it's escape.

Failure hung heavy on her shoulders as she made her way back into camp that night. It haunted her dreams as she tried in vain to find solace in the world of unconsciousness. It was only cuddling with Pyrrha that made sleep finally take Ruby in the early morning hours.

Even with dawn, and a whole night between Ruby and her failure, it still hung around her like the stink of old cheese. It was hard to enjoy the breakfast Pyrrha had made for h-

"Ruby?" Pyrrha's concerned voice and tight hug snapped Ruby out of her melanochic musings. Slightly. "I know you couldn't get it last night… but, guess what I found this morning?"

"Hm?" Ruby groggily hummed before Pyrrha pushed the short redhead's scroll into her hands… only to cause Ruby to jump from her seat.

"YOU CAUGHT IT?!" Ruby shouted incredulously before pulling Pyrrha into a huge, deep kiss, only parting finally for air. The prey that Ruby had been hunting for was right there. So, for Ruby, her reaction was more than a little understandable.

"Yes, well, your scroll kept vibrating, and you spent so long trying to find it…" Pyrrha's shy smile turned into a frown. "Just, please, promise to stop playing that game while we're on a mission… it's dangerous." Ruby numbly nodded as Pyrrha clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You nearly fell down in a crevice yesterday since you didn't look up from the screen."

"I'll be more careful." Ruby finally muttered, her silver eyes still glued to the screen, and a stupid grin etched into her face.

"I finally have a Gyarados…"

Pyrrha couldn't help but roll her eyes as Ruby's scroll vibrated.

It was like watching an addict being given the source of his addiction and attempt to refuse it. Ruby was trying with every bit of willpower to ignore the buzzing device because they were on a date in the park.

Never mind that Ruby had been constantly checking her scroll during their last mission, now that they were on a date, Pyrrha had noticed her girlfriend trying to avoid the device at all costs. It wasn't hard for Pyrrha to guess why, either. Because she doesn't want to ignore me.

That was a thing that Ruby did a lot; when it was just the two of them not on a mission, she gave all of her attention to Pyrrha. While it was touching, it was akin to watching a dog try and ignore a piece of food on it nose.

"Ruby." Silver eyes were riveted on Pyrrha's hand as she pulled Ruby's scroll from her girlfriend's pocket. "It's okay." A gentle smile greeted Ruby as she slowly accepted the offered scroll.

In what seemed like a span of five seconds, Ruby disappeared in a fluttering of rose petals before returning with a happy grin on her face. "Okay, got it!" The smile dropped ever so slightly. "I really should turn this off tho-"

"Have you seen a Scyther around here?"

It was a deep, bellowing voice, one that Pyrrha had only heard about from Weiss and never forgotten, as a massive chainsaw-sword came out from the shadows that the parks' trees gave, followed by it's owner.

He was a massive man, easily one of the tallest people Pyrrha had ever met, making her feel like a Ruby must feel compared to her. While she might not have known his real name, the wanted posters had already given him a moniker: Banesaw

Plus, the White Fang mask was a bit of a giveaway.

Pyrrha was already reaching for Milo and Akouo, preparing for the fight of her life against the large Faunus, thinking of every factor in the envi-

"THERE IS A SCYTHER?!" Ruby's eyes went wide as her attention was glued to the scroll. "Which way?!"

Banesaw gestured to the left. "I had him at one step but it went to two."

"Ooo. We'll try that way first!" Ruby was already speeding that way when Pyrrha got a hold of her cape. "Uh…sorry." Ruby sheepishly slumped her shoulder upon realizing she was abandoning their date. "I guess I'll get it another time…"

"Ruby, that isn't the problem here." Pyrrha almost couldn't believe she had to say what she was about to say. "He's a wanted criminal!"

"Yeah, but it's Pokemon!" Ruby glanced at the large man, who was patiently waiting, glued to his own scroll's screen. "What team are you?"

"Instinct."

"See, he's the same team as me! We Instincts got to stick together!" Banesaw gave a quick nod and a high-five to Ruby. "So… truce?"

Pyrrha pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment before fishing out her own scroll from her pocket.

"…I still need a Scyther too…"

AU: I wonder if anyone can pick up on the fact that Pokemon Go has taken over my life…

Yup.

A bit of a silly chapter (more then a bit, but eh, what are you gonna do about it?), that I imagine a fair number of people will find funny giving the crazy sweeping the nation (er, world).

I was originally going to have the White Fang base be a Pokestop or a Gym, but settled on Banesaw and Ruby hunting pokemon together.

I do kinda feel like there wasn't much shippy stuff this chapter, more on the funny side if anything. I guess it balances out considering last chapter?

Don't have much else to say…

I should have a 3,000 to 4,000 word, Pyrrha/Ruby one-shot posted on Thursday. It'll be super cute and fluffy!

New chapter for Spoon Equality in a week!

Thank you for reading and I hope everyone has a great week! :D
