A very enthusiastic walk

"What an absolutely wonderful day!" Treble called out as he somersaulted off a low-growing tree branch and began heading north. Indeed it was a good day for Treble, not only because there was a town near by, but because of all the new opportunities it presented. He had gotten bored of messing with the Pokemon from his neighborhood repeatedly, and surely they were through with him. "But now everything is about to get much more interesting, for them and for me!" He chuckled to himself as he imagined turning a peaceful town upside down. The outlaw's desire to cause problems for others was palpable, but the desire to meet others was equally felt. In fact, ever couple of steps Treble would do some cartwheels out of sheer excitement. It never crossed his mind once that something might actually go wrong this time, but things like that never cross his mind when he's this happy.

"Ugh... What an absolutely terrible day!" Sleepy complained to himself, his eyes were groggy and he was trudging in a slow-like pace dragging his bone behind him. He had been walking for what seemed like a whole complete day not taking a break to sleep once! Why you may ask? because he wanted to get to the town called Grassveil. That's what he set out to do a few days ago when he left home and he promised himself that today would be the day to get there.

Treble was just about to do yet another cartwheel when his ears suddenly perked up, the sound of complaining and something being dragged coming from somewhere near by. "How odd, someone's unhappy on a perfect day and it isn't my fault." He quickly scanned the area and caught a glimpse of a bone before it disappeared behind a tree. "I wonder if they're heading to town too!" He thought aloud, and went to find out. "Hey!" he called out as he sauntered around the tree and saw a Cubone trudging up ahead, "You wouldn't happen to be going to the town further along, would you?"

"huh?" Sleepy turned in the direction of the voice that called out to him to see a Sneasel approaching him. The Sneasel was wearing a fashionable Purple with red checkered scarf , tied on his right arm. He seemed to be in a good mood and didn't seem like any kind of a threat so he replied Sleepily. " Uh the town... Oh yes, I am heading that way." he yawned "why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering, seeing as I'm headed there myself." Treble replied, his energetic tone offsetting the exhausted Cubone's. Cocking his head to the side, he quickly observed the Cubone, and found it strange that he would be this tired at this time of day. Did he just wake up or something? The thought of being tired on such a wonderful day was absurd, but not important enough to ask about in his opinion. "By the way, my name is Treble! What's yours sleepwalker?" He continued grinning as he slowed down to his conversation partner's pace. "Also, what do you know about the town?" Treble's curiosity forcing the words out of him.

Sleepy chuckled "My name is not Sleepwalker , but that was a good guess. The name is Sleepy, nice to meet you... uh Treble..? yeah that's what you said." He yawned it seemed like he would collapse from exhaustion any minute. "And the town... I don't know much about it." he admitted " I've never been there myself but I do know they have a guild there... maybe? ...No , I'm sure they do... Anyway what are you planing to do when you get there?" he questioned Treble. "Anything fun?"

"Pleased to meet you Sleepy!" Treble replied with an enormous smile, obviously amused by such a befitting name. "And as for what I'll do when I get there, I'll probably look around the town before doing anything really." Treble answered, though not really answering any questions. He glanced at Sleepy, who looked like he was about to drop, and laughed quietly to himself. "As exhausted as you are, you're still walking, or should I say trudging." He gave sleepy a pat on the back, as if that was supposed to energize him. "You mentioned there was guild,right? Do you plan on becoming an explorer?" He asked Sleepy, trying his best to imagine the exhausted Cubone doing something other than sleeping.

Sleepy flinched slightly at the pat he was given. "An explorer? I have given that a bit of thought but.." He paused yawning again "I don't think I'm cut out for the task." he replied. Sleepy had gradually stopped trudging and was sort of standing in one spot now(though he didn't seem to notice.). He faced Treble "you said that you were going to explore the town right? Maybe I could tag along with you? I'm sorry if this is kind of strait forward but I have been traveling alone for quite some time and I wouldn't want to show up at the town not knowing anyone..." The thought of arriving at a new town not knowing anyone frightened him and maybe if he went with this sneasel he could do all the talking if someone approached them.

Looks like he finally stopped, Treble thought as he turned towards Sleepy. "Well at least you've though about it. But hey, maybe you'll change your mind about being an explorer." He skipped over to a nearby tree and leaned against it casually, "Or not." He grinned and motioned for the stationary Cubone to come join him by the shady tree. "And it would be my pleasure to have you accompany me into town. The more the merrier, ya know?" The thought of traveling alone had it's own appeal, but it definitely would be more fun to have someone come with him, even if that someone was incredibly exhausted.

Sleepy wobbled over to the tree that Treble was leaning on and sat down next to him placing his Bone beside him. Grateful that he could give his legs a break he gazed up at the Sneasel with droopy eyes. "Thank you for letting me tag along then." he finally managed to say "and yes, the more the merrier." He repeated while Sleepy was talking his eyes were drawn to that scarf of his. "So... where did you get that scarf?" He asked pointing to the scarf tied around Treble's arm with curiosity in his droopy eyes.

At the mention of his scarf, a mischievous smile played across his face. "Ah yes, my signature scarf." He sighed as he gave it a few gentle pats. "This was the first, and easiest, thing I've ever stolen in my outlaw career." The pride in his voice making it seem like it was some grand feat. "The most interesting thing about this scarf is that it has had many previous owners, most of which were outlaws." Treble explained to sleepy, his claws toying with the knot on the item in question. "And for the record I'm an outlaw myself, I'm just much more friendly than typical outlaws." The smile on Treble's face becoming more like his usual friendly grin as he talked.

Sleepy sat there quiet for a second. He felt an icy chill run down his back. "W-wait you just said you're an... Out-outlaw?!" he squeaked with a hint of fear in his voice. Is this Pokemon going to hurt me? He thought to himself, ignoring the fact that he said he was 'more friendly'. Sleepy's mind was now racing with stereotypical thoughts of outlaws, all the while he was subconsciously reaching for his bone which was laying on the ground between the two of them.

"Yup!" Treble said as he grabbed a branch directly above his head and started swinging. He couldn't help but laugh when he noticed just how unnerved Sleepy looked. Though I guess it's only natural to feel that. After all, me being an Outlaw is kind of a big deal, he thought proudly. "Always have been, and I'll continue to be one as long as I can." He stopped swinging and pulled himself over the branch so that the only thing holding him ups was his legs. Now upside down, Treble placed his claws behind his head and sighed. "For what it's worth, I don't plan on conducting any 'business' with you. It wouldn't benefit me if I did any."

"O-okay..." He sighed It doesn't seem like he is going to try anything... He thought to himself Though what if he was pulling some sort of trick? He wondered. Sleepy now had his bone back in his grasp and was holding it close to him. "Why do you do it? And what do you do? Do you hurt Pokemon?" he found himself asking.

"Who knows why? Maybe for fun or out of necessity, but no reason is just as good as any in my opinion." He stated. In one fluid motion, Treble was sitting properly on the branch and gazing down at Sleepy. "As for what I do, I tend to just create problems for others via bad advice, false info, stolen items. Ya know, simple things that complicate the not-so simple things." He pointed to the scarf on his arm to give him a visual. His feather-like suddenly twitched as he heard the sound of rustling in the tree nearby, the large smile practically glued to his face shrinking in the process. "I don't like to get my claws dirty with violence, especially when it can be avoided," He jumped down and turned to the rustling that had gotten progressively louder, "but I don't think our guests are of the friendly type." He said cautiously.
