Well then, this is interesting, but... basically, Azur has decided to do a bit of a work... the kind that's suited for his physique. As much as he wanted to do a nursing job, this sort of job is also given for someone that work in healthcare, at least for him. By reducing a lot of trashes in various towns, there will be less diseases and the city will be more pleasant to look at. There will be less Pokemon who would scavenge the garbage and that would mean they will less likely to catch any diseases from them. That's all and well, right?
At any rate here he is, dressed from head to toe with standard clothes for cleaning up the trashes. What was it called again? The sanitation department uniform or something? Ah well. It's just orange jacket, boots, pants and gloves. Azur is not alone in this one. He's accompanied by two Pokemons of his choice... The first is Gusios the Bagon and the other one is Zeit the Arcanine. They're helping sorting the trashes while Azur himself doing the heavy lifting.
"Well, let's begin shall we, boys?"
Affirmative bark and cry from both Pokemons. That's reassuring! Azur began by sorting the trashes...
There's not so much gross things as there are just dry trash, making for easy sorting of the garbage. There's a few heavy objects but you get them lifted and thrown away easily, and with your impressive physical prowess you don't have to strain much! The various bags and other assorted debris can easily be picked up in snout or mandible, and you and your team manage to get one area cleared relatively quickly. On to the next!
Oh, well, that's nice! There's not many gross things, which reminds Azur that he probably need to invest on Water Pokemon one day... preferrably one that know Scald or something, just for sterilization. Or maybe he can just take a bath somewhere, eh well. At any rate, sorting up was easy. Azur divided it in the usual "Recycleable", "Plastic", "Kitchen Waste" and such. He made sure that everything was set and tossed it up to the instructed section of the carrier vehicle. Speaking of which, he also have to toss several big things out such as broken furniture. It wasn't too straining (thankfully). He's not busting any back soon!
"Well, this area is clear. Make sure you guys check if there is nothing left here, alright?" Azur told his two companions. Both Zeit and Gusios looked around for any leftover waste before shaking their head. "Right, looks like that means over here is clear. Now let's go onto the next area! I think over there we'll have to do a little bit more lifting than before."
On to good start it seems! He hope that it will continue. It will be sucks if somehow his expectation overturned after all... Hope he's wrong... [WC: 202]

Azur heard Zeit barks at something. He have no idea what it is, but considering he doesn't repeatedly barks, he's guessing that it's something just remotely interesting rather than something urgent. "Yes, yes, coming," he told the Arcanine. Whew, nothing happening here either. He's almost done with this one too.. he guess? At least that's what he thought. If things going good enough he guess he'll just continue doing this for a while, probably until the end of today? At any rate, he approached Zeit...
"What's up, boy?" he asked the Arcanine, who barked once again toward a... ha? What's that? A reclining chair? Hey, that's way too random! What caused it to half buried like this? "...Did some pokemon buried this?" he wondered. "...I just hope this is not stuck though... Anyway, we should try to lift this... I don't think there's a need for you guys to try it immediately, but if I can't do it somehow, I'll ask your help, alright?" Azur asked the two Pokemons, who gave affirmative cry of their own.
Azur approached the base of the reclining chair to grab a piece of it. He need to get a solid grip after all. "Right. In one, two, three!!" Azur pulled up at the third.
FUUUU---! Well he managed to pull it out but lord! The moment he yanked it off the ground, he miscalculated how the balance would be like! Azur is losing his grip! But thankfully, his Pokemons immediately attempted to help him stabilize it. Gusios the Bagon pressed his head up against the reclining chair, while Zeit the Arcanine straightened Azur's back so he did not end up hurting himself! The fact that it's going to go down on his feet probably not helping either. He's here to clean up trash and get some money, not getting his feet crushed! At any rate...
"Gusios, try to hold that for a bit! Zeit, raise me up slowly, alright?"
Zeit slowly pushed Azur up while Gusios holding the bottom part of the reclining chair. Once Azur feel he's at his full height once again, he cocked his head for Zeit to help Gusio holding up the chair. Once both Pokemons ready, Azur attempted to secure his grip again... and hopefully able to lift it! If he can't, then he hoped he could roll it away so it won't hurt any of the pokemons (or himself)
Whew, whew! It's going well, it seems! Azur managed to balance himself, and well... it really was thanks to his team that this happened. Azur gave a grin toward Zeit and Gusios, who also appreciative of his gratitude. "Still, we're not done here, boys! Steady, steady... let's bring this sofa to the truck shall we?"
It felt like walking for the first time with this chair. He can't really look at the front with how he's trying to balance this. He have to be helped by Gusios to even have the luxury to look forward! Otherwise, he probably going to trip and fall... Well, Zeit is here too, clearing the way for him. The question is, can he reach the car without actually dropping this? He's not sure that he could lift it back up if he put it down after all! Not to mention, he really need to see what's that thing on the hole... why it's on the hole and probably cover it up so it won't cause any sort of problem later.
"Just a bit more, you two! The truck is over there!"
As you try and lift the chair into the trash truck, it slips, slides, and ends up making you fall backwards! For a hot second, you're pinned under the chair!
Steady, steady... nope, not steady. The moment he's about to put it in the trash truck unfortunately the edge made it slips and it came down barreling at him! This, added with only him who could push it toward the truck... well, let's say that law of gravity suddenly applied! Azur could feel air from his lung knocked out the moment the chair hits him! Oof! It took Zeit and Gusios pushing it to the side that it finally felt like his life wasn't in danger.
Azur coughed. Man, for the first time in a split second, it feels like he was being greeted by Darkrai. That was scary as hell. He rubbed his body while still sputtering. ...Drats, the driver also is taking a break, so he's not around huh. Either way... Azur checked his body just in case. It's just sore thankfully, nothing felt fractured or broken. It's painful, but he can move just fine. He took out a paste from his bag and applied it to his ribs. The warm sensation made him sigh in relief.
He suddenly felt a light bunt on his cheek. Zeit looked worried. "...It's OK, it's not your fault, alright? I'm fine. Give me a bit before I can lift this again."
...Azur took about fifteen minutes to make sure the pain and feeling of bruise has receded somewhat before attempting again. This time, Gusios and Zeit also helped. The pain is still there... but he's managing thanks to his endurance.
Whew, he finally managed to put the reclining chair on the truck! That's a score. For the meantime though, it's time to recover in some way or an other... so he decided to gather any light things. Azur made sure to apply a bit more ointment and salve on the affected area from that one before... His goal at the moment is to gather these light trashes, and afterward.... he just gather it in one spot, toss it. Pace himself, basically, while he's recovering. Once he feel there are no light trashes again around here, he actually walked back to where he found the reclining chair.
"...Come to think of it, I wonder what's inside? There's no way that a chair like that could just like that half buried like that, right?"
...Unless someone purposely tossed down the chair... which in that case... let's just say it's too unfortunate... or perhaps scary? What caused it to fall from that height? Azur looked around for any sight of building where it could came from... It wouldn't be funny if someone someone tossed a flower pot or something to him. If it doesn't seem probable, he would look at the hole. If nothing is in it, he'd make attempt to close it.
You find more trash! Quite a bit of garbage was actually under the recliner.... You don't see anywhere that it could have been flung, so maybe it had been used to cover up this trash?? Maybe??
...Dis.gus.ting. That's what Azur thought the first time he saw the trashes under the spot the recliner was. Who on earth would put a recliner on top of all these trashes? Don't tell me there are something down here... And he hope it better be worth it somehow. Azur put all the trashes in the bag, looking for how deep it is. He probably should report this event somehow... Probably? If there are nothing noteworthy inside, he would take picture with his phone after washing his hand, then wonder if he should bury it... yeah, probably he should bury it.
"Zeit, Gusios, let's bury this hole so that no one could stuff trash over here again..." Would be strange if there is a Trubbish there using it for its stash or something, won't it? Either way, Azur picked up a shovel and looked for any sand mound. He immediately covered it up... hoping that it's just a hole with a random mystery, not some Pokemon's hidey hole.
Well, that's a wrap up! It's all clean over here, and his shift is also over! "Good job, you two," Azur praised Zeit and Gusios, who returned his praise with their own cry. "Whew, seriously though, I thought my life was flashing before my eyes just now... I need to get stronger I think! But either way, thank you two for staying with me today! With this money, I think we can afford to buy something nice for once!"
Upon hearing "buy something nice", the two seems to be more spirited than before. Can't he helped huh? "So how does it feel to work for the first time, you two? Eh, I have no idea if this is your first time, Zeit... but you did great there..."
Azur soon talked to the trash truck driver, telling him about the event that happened, also the amount of trashes he picked up. With this, their job here is done!
