Misty adventure

Noel slowly made her way through the hills covered by mist, hands at her side walking slowly her red scarf laid limp on her back as did the blue vest she wore, no wind seemed to come from the hill's or it was blocked Noel would know when she passed the hill, as she did she still felt no wind flow as she shrugged and walked on.

She was still slightly hurt from the battle lumina and her had but she showed no signs of it she seemed to be perfectly fine, she was slightly surprised that there was no real mist around would it show more later, she sighed not knowing and walked on.

She liked the silence of the area it kept her head clear as she walked thinking, she used her aura sense to see around though she felt like she didn't need to she used it so she could make it stronger

Deimos likewise was also passing through the hill, his attention focused more on his surroundings than the lack of wind. The presence of mist could make this the perfect place for an ambush of some sort, so it made perfect sense really why Deimos was paying close attentions to the surroundings.

As he kept carefully wondering through, it took a while for him to finally notice the lack of wind, which was somewhat surprising to him, he, having lived in the mountains in seclusion with his family for so long, wasn't used to the lack of wind. "Strange... why is there no wind here, considering the terrain one would expect there to be wind" Deimos muttered to himself, before turning his attention back to more important matters.

Deciding to stop for a moment in order think, he slowed his advance through the hill to a stop, and merely sighed, if anything it was quiet here, in that regard he figured it would be a good place for him to think about other matters.

Noel walked along the path hands still glued to her sides spikes facing nothing, she was slightly weirded out from the lack of wind but decided that it wasn't that important at the time all she needed to do was explore like she normally did, so with a small sigh she walked on.

She stopped near a large hill as she checked her bag for what she had decided to bring to this dungeon, in her bag was a few berries and a reviver seed both she hoped she would not have to use here, she then decided to sit for a bit.

The touched her stomach and winced in pain as she moved her paw away, it was still slightly hurt from the many hits it had taken in the sparring match, she knew she shouldn't get hit that many times while she was here

As he had stopped, he figured he'd take a momentary break here, the terrain wasn't all that bad for taking a break, and considering that for the most part he would blend into the mist thanks to his white coloration, apart from his horn and tail and so on, he figured that it was a suitable location to do so.

Naturally, he immediately went to thinking about those he had left behind... were they okay? it was probably selfish to just leave after He... passed away, but it was what he would have wanted, for Deimos to be able to do what he always wanted, to see the rest of the world and it's mysteries with his own eyes.

Soon enough, he turned his thoughts away from the past, and more to the current situation, more so to trying to understand the lack of wind... usually there would be wind is area's such as this, so why the sudden lack of it? He pretty much had to presume something was stopping the presence of the wind, although he wasn't all that curious as to what, if someone wants to stop the wind, it's not his business after all.

Once Noel had checked all of her item's she felt like she was good to continue, she slowly gets up and starts to walk up the hill trying to reach the top, she had no reason but there could be something up there so it was worth the girls time to try to find something.

Once she had reached the top she looked around seeing nothing really stand out in the mist, it wasn't until she looked up that she noticed something that stood out in the blanket of white that clouded the area.

It was something black slowly moving from side to side, as her eyes trailed up she also noticed something as shard as her spikes same color, knowing the species immediately she shrugs and walks over to the figure, she stood slightly away from it in case he wasn't friendly "yo" she said calmly

Deimos, due to being lost in his thoughts, wasn't aware of the Lucario's presence while it was climbing the hill, instead, his thoughts had drifted back to his family, he knew his parent's were fine with his decision, but that wasn't where it was focused, it was more so focused on his sister... he never gave her a chance to voice her opinion on it, although he knew she probably wouldn't have wanted him to go after what happened to his older brother... then again, even if she didn't want him to go he probably still would have.

When he was spotted, Deimos had gotten the feeling as if something was watching, or in this case, looking towards him, so he turned his attention away from his thoughts, and immediately glanced around the area, trying to spot whatever it could be within the mist. It didn't particularly take long to spot a shade of blue amongst the mist that had been blanketing the area. As he kept his eyes on the shade, he picked out the presence of what seemed like spikes of some form, and also the presence of the colour black, what seemed to be ears of some form along with what looked like the center of the head.

It didn't take long for him to realize that it was approaching him, so he immediately got up, he was ready to defend himself if necessary, but he quickly realized it wasn't hostile as the mix of colours, now being more clearly visible as a Lucario, spoke towards him in a calm manner.

"Hello" Was all Deimos said as a response to it's speech, to be fair, it did only say a singular word, so he didn't exactly see the need to say more, especially considering it was nothing more than a simple greeting. Now that he could see the Pokémon more clearly, his focus turned more towards the Pokémon, he was trying to identify any potential information that could be acquired just by sight. he noted the presence of the red scarf, along with the blue vest, however he didn't really make much of a mental note of this, he just figured it was more of an aesthetic aspect.

Finally, his eyes trained themselves upon the Lucario's bag, from such, he presumed she was an explorer of some kind, who had come prepared for exploration, however he quickly turned his attention away from the bag, he wasn't the type to consider stealing after all.

Noel looked at the Pokemon in front of her as she crossed her arms looking at the pokemon, as her vision starts to focus she knew she was right on which Pokemon it was, it was a absol who she had found wandering the area, it made sense for a pure white Pokemon to be going around in the mist easy to hide in case something tried to attack.

Judging by the fact that he didn't try to kill her by now as all feral Pokemon did, she knew this was a chance to gain a new ally though she quickly made note of him looking at her trying to size her up, luckily the training from her mother taught Noel to guard against something like that as her stance and face showed no signs of anything at all, other then the crossed arms she was truly neutral.

She decided to size the absol up also looking at him as she scanned without drawing attention, there was no real advisable signs of anything she should be worried about, she did notice him looking at her bag but knew if it came down o a fight she had the advantage in type, though she would be willing to share any item's she had if someone tried to steal from her she would stop them.

"My name is Noel nice to meet you" Noel said with the same calm voice, since the last time she met a absol she was a little more on guard then normal, though she knew that Pokemon shouldn't be judged just by their species she was on guard but as of course didn't show any signs that she was as such

Deimos, paying close attention to her reaction, likewise figured that since she hadn't attacked by now, it was a chance to potentially acquire an ally or a potential companion, but he figured he wouldn't try to force anything in that regard, he was just going to let that part of the situation sort itself out, if fate has it in mind that the two aid each other in some way, so be it, same for if it chooses it not to.

As the Lucario introduced itself, he took note of the name, Noel, a name that he most certainly hadn't heard before, it seemed easy enough to remember. "Nice to meet you then, Noel, I suppose a proper introduction is in order, I go by the name Deimos" He responded to her, seeing no reason to provide his name since she had done the same.

For now, he decided that if anything, he wouldn't be thinking here anymore, doing so could potentially block out her words, which would likely come across as rude, and he wouldn't want to act in such a manner to a species that technically speaking, would have an advantage against him in terms of combat.

Noel let her guard drop slightly seeing as he didn't act like the last one she met, must if just been him who was crazy she thought to herself as she started to think of a topic, she wondered why he was here so that seemed like the best one to ask was he here to explore or some secret mission, the second sounded moronic to her but it could happen ... right?

"So what brings you here?" She asks calmly wondering why he was here obviously, then she thought what she was doing here she had no real reason to be here but she was, she shrugged at this fact deciding that she was just stupid and wandered random places without thinking

Deimos, realizing she seemed to cut right to the chase by asking why he was here, found it an easy question to answer, he was just travelling, then again, travelling can coincide with exploration, but really all he was doing was travelling, she didn't need to know the reason why... At least it was a question that made sense and she wasn't being overly curious about other matters like some could be.

"I'm just travelling to be honest, although I don't have any particular destination in mind. And how about you? I presume you must be exploring or doing a mission of some kind, considering the presence of your bag, would that happen to be accurate?"  Deimos spoke as a response to the Lucario, pretty much returning the question to her in the process.

Noel listens on what he had to say and let's out a small chuckle on the mission, this was another Pokemon who had mistaken her for a guild member it seemed to be ok considering most explorers were in a guild, Noel mentally notes not to lie that she is in the guild that might lead to trouble later on.

"Exploring only, I'm not a guild member" she says calmly it was the truth and she decided to say it, though it wouldn't change much if she was in a guild or not, unless he was a outlaw then that would change a lot

Deimos made certain to keep close attention to her response to his question, the chuckle confused him to begin with, but when she spoke, he quickly understood why, she must have thought that he had presumed she was a member of a guild, something that we lacked back where Deimos came from. Mentally, he began to plan out his response to her words, it didn't particularly take long to work out what to say however.

"Understood, and fair enough about not being a guild member, I don't recall there ever being a law that one has to be a member of a guild to explore... now, if I may ask, do you have any destination in mind?" Deimos spoke as a response, sure the question could be viewed as somewhat nosy, but he didn't particularly have any destination in mind, and travelling with someone for a while could be a nice change of pace.

"If that became a law I'd become a outlaw" Noel says in response to the law to be a guild member, she then thought she had no real goal in mind of where to go at the time, she didn't think there was anything going on here, one of her friends was a guild member so you would think she'd say watch out Noel there is a giant outlaw here, though that would be bad to tell Noel she would go fight it.

"No I have no real goal as of now" Noel says as she thinks of another question, "what about you any reason you are here?" He asked her she should ask him the same

Deimos, like Noel did earlier, found himself chuckling due to her response of becoming an outlaw if what he said became a law, to be completely fair, he would likely do the same, he wouldn't want to be restricted in his ability to travel and explore the world due to some egotistical law. "To be completely honest, I would likely do the same" Deimos spoke as a response to what she said at first.

Now thinking about the question she had asked, he most certainly didn't want to bring up the reasons behind his want to travel and explore, so he merely decided to say what felt right. "I travel and explore because that is what I have always wanted to do, I've always wanted to break out of seclusion, to see the world and it's mysteries with my own eyed, that's why I'm out here and not back in the mountains. but other than that, I have no goal or destination, hence why I asked about yours" Deimos spoke as a response to her question, to be fair, he wasn't lying in any way, shape or form, he had always wanted to see the world and it's mysteries with his own eyes, and he understood he had to break out of the seclusion he had been so used to in order to do so.

Noel just gives the Pokemon a small nod at that statement, it sounded like the reason she left her home island wanting to explore new things without her mother protecting her all the time, Noel mentally shrugs at this deciding she was feeling to homesick right now and that her main focus should be right now.

"Well if you have no goal why not explore with me?" Noel asks having someone with you always helped out, well it always worked for Noel so why not
