Encounter in the Dark Forest.

First topic message reminder :

Having explored several of the other areas around Grassveil Town, Brian the Chimchar had asked some people around town about any other location closeby that he hadn't heard about. After hearing one of the pokemon in the town talk about a dangerous dark forest by the name of Shadowhue, Brian's curiousity took hold of him and ended up he eventually ended up in the forest himself.Coming from the bright and bustling Grassveil Town, to the calming and relaxing Small Pond, and the bright berry filled areas of Pecha Forest, the Shadowhue Forest contrasted in a jarring way at first. The tree's seemed to stretch into the sky itself, seeming to be nearly twice as tall, if not taller than the ones he saw in Pecha Forest. Now only were they tall, but the leaves on them were so gargantuan in size that they blocked out most of the light from the area. Brian couldn't even see the sky beyond them, let alone any light from the sun above. Though thanks to the flame on his tail, he did have a decent amount of light which allowed him to see where he was going. The foreboding atmosphere of the forest probably would have scared off some, but not Brian. Fear wasn't something he felt too easily. To him, feeling fear would just be a unnecessary roadblock in his quest of becoming stronger and exploring new places. Besides, Brian was too interested with the area to just leave without seeing everything it had to offer, regardless of how scary it may seem. He wanted to explore and analyze this new area as he had to with all of the previous new areas he had been too and nothing was going to stop him anytime soon.

"So this is Shadowhue huh? A very interesting place indeed. Hehe, hope those people were right about there being strong pokemon too." Brian said, growing a small grin on his face as he walked onward into the forest, eager to see what awaited him inside.

As soon as Ares saw petite, wispy fire shoot forth from his mouth. Although it wasn't entirely powerful at that moment - for some greater creature could easily shrug off something that was as vaporous as those swiftly self-consuming cinders - time would make this a vital move for every budding Fire-type. To utilize flame was of the utmost importance, and having the ability to manipulate it with one's breath was a great ability. There was a realization comparable to a small, initial spark in darkness for the Charmander as he witnessed this monumental event,  and he could not help but feel pride. This was his tool, an instrument that he would manipulate and form into something worth envying. His legacy would start here with this single acolyte; just wait until he meets Cyrus. He knew no other like the slippery snake for, where Ares was for unhindered destruction and ruin, he was for strategy and occasional diplomacy.

His thoughts were interrupted, however, by how promptly Brian had propelled himself towards the woods. Ares would extend a hand out, reaching forwards towards the unleashed chimp, prior to retracting it as soon as he had slowed and stopped. The Charmander would catch up to him and speak, "Let's go." With this, he walked into the darkness.
