Luca froze and turned back to Soren. "It is a weekend, Soren, and I called all of you in earlier than I would if it were a weekday. The least I could do was relax a bit........." As a leader, he had to be as fair as he was strict. For this one, as long as they looked good from a quick glance, they were fine. However, when he took a full Luca look at them at his strictest, the only ones looking completely flawless was Tourmaline and Mao. Zero's nervousness showed in his movements. His eyes were flittering side to side. Avery was scratched up, dirty, and was wincing as he walked. Avery was in bad shape overall, and they already talked about that. However, he willing to waive critiquing those minutia since he called them in on an off day earlier than usual. He thought it would be cruel to expect them to look perfect at a time like this, and they ALL had better things to do right now than to deal with his critiques. The mission was more important than these critiques, but..........he had to be as strict as he was fair. "but if you would like stricter critiques, I can give them to you."
He stalked towards the vulpix and stood back in front of him, towering over him. The Arcanine took a close look at Soren. "First of all, speaking out of turn and yelping like an undisciplined welp is a no-go. A big sarcastic mouth may be the death of you. Learn to control your tongue...... Stop shaking!" Luca growled, "Stand up straight, eyes up. If you realize you've made a mistake, you better own it." Luca leaned in. Accountability for actions was a big thing in Green Forest. "There is dirt on the darker fur on your upper part of your legs. What have you been doing? Kicking up dirt? Running here? You should have planned for that so you didn't have to run. There is dirt too near to the base of your tail and on the fur tufts in your ears. If I didn't know better, I would think that you ran through a dust bowl and thought that just shaking your fur off would be enough." Well Soren spent more time taking care of his siblings than his own self (aka, Soren's introductory post didn't mention Soren cleaning himself) so he may have overlooked a few areas if he paid any attention at all.
"I heard what you said the first time Soren, and a Pokemon who doesn't own their words aren't worth respect. If you have to amend your words that quick after saying them, you should have thought before you said them."

"Geez, Soren..........."

Just like that, the tension was through the roof and Avery was on his guard now. Luca was a former member of Battery and that's where the almost drill instructor side of Luca shined through. That's why it was best to not get on the business side of his fangs. In fact, it was better to keep those fangs bared at a hostile Pokemon.
Avery said nothing. Just kept his look straight and eyes forward as Luca laid into Soren. Avery didn't see the dust, but know Luca had a better eye than he did. Soren's fur was still sleek and he still looked great to him. It made him wince to hear the critiques and even more to hear language from Luca that suggested that Soren was relenting or regretting it. Luca hadn't scolded the shrew, but he knew that if he did in the strictest Luca fashion, they would be there all day. Of all the Pokemon here, Avery looked by far the worst. A part of him wanted to defend Soren, but there was really nothing he could say. All any of them could do was wait until it was over and the embers dissolved.
Luca stepped back. "Now Soren, now that you know your deficiencies, I want you to go take a bath and remove that dirt and dust. Dry yourself off and you will return here when you look freshly groomed. You will return here looking like a dignified Vulpix ready to go on mission, not like you slept in the middle of a desert. Dismissed, Soren." There was a bath at the HQ, so Soren wasn't going all the way back home.
Lost
When Soren had left the room, Luca sighed. "The reason I called you all in was because we have a dire situation, a situation that needs to be dealt with ASAP and not spent wasting time taking baths to rid oneself of dirt that shouldn't have been there in the first place........you can all relax and get comfortable. You're all in a mission brief now. A mission worthy of a member of Green Forest. Not some training cell mission picking berries for Old Ms. Meganium." The leader sat down and Avery's eyes widened. They were going on an ACTUAL mission now, and a very important one from the things he was saying.
