First topic message reminder :

Kestro waved goodbye to his sister and caretaker again at the entrance to Pecha Forest. The young Cranidos had heard of a town at the other end of Serene Cave, but didn't feel as if he were ready for a three day trek through the dark cavern. While he'd have preferred exploring the neighboring Shadowhue Forest, his sister's worries convinced him to train in the much safer Pecha Forest. The young fossil Pokemon let out a sigh once his sister and caretaker were out of sight and earshot. "Alright, another trek through here, and then maybe I can convince her to let me explore Shadowhue," he mumbled to himself. He was a bit surprised by how much sway his sister had over his decisions, but then again, she was as hard headed as him, probably more so. The Cranidos shook his head and turned towards the forest, at the very least he might have some experience in battling and exploration before he'd start classes at Peak.

The cranidos quickly started things off, and Osiris felt a nervous sort of energy trickle through his serpentine body. A pokemon was actually charging him! The thought was both scary and exhilarating, but it didn't stop him from lowering his head and preparing to dash off to the side. He had no interest in getting into a slugging match with this guy; Doubtless, as a rock-type, this guy could probably take a good deal of punishment.

His opponent's head flashed a bright metallic silver mid-charge, and Osiris recognized that he was using some kind of move. What it was specifically, he didn't know, and he didn't care to find out. Before the dratini to dart to the side, however, a burst of sand suddenly hit Kestro square in the face. It even caused him to drunkenly steer to the side and topple over next to Osiris, missing him completely. For his part, Iris merely blinked stupidly, feeling oddly cheated by the strange phenomenon.

A chittering voice from above cut off his train of thought, and he looked up to see an aipom hanging from a tree. It dropped down, boasting, and he caught the flash of the pokemon's explorer badge. A guild member!

"Are you okay, Kestro? What the heck, man?!" Iris cut in, slithering in between Kestro and the aipom that practically ambushed them, his second question directed at the intruder. His attention flittered between the pokemon he just met—the one he was beginning to like—and this rude monkey pokemon. He was almost glaring at the normal-type; the only thing that kept him from being truly angry at the sudden interruption was the fact that this pokemon seemed to be a guild member. "What was that for?" he went on, his snakely boding raising up, betraying his irritation.

Kestro groaned out as he tried to rub the sand out of his eyes. He heard Osiris ask him something, but the rock type was too focused on trying to clear his vision to really be paying any attention. "Gah, I'm fine, I think, ow,"" the rock type mumbled. He looked over to find a blurry blue Osiris between him and someone else. He couldn't tell who or what it was, just that it was purple.

"Oi oi oi, I was helping you out! That Cranidos was going right for ya!" the Aipom said, frowning as he bounced on his tail. Clearly the normal type had no grasp on the actual situation and just acted before thinking. Soon enough, though, the sound of other voices rang out behind him. A small Bonsly jumped out of the bushes, "Carl, there you are! We told you not to leave us behind!" it said, just as a Sudowoodo clambered out behind it, soon enough bent over backwards panting.

+1 energy (new page): 10 energy to play with ayyyy

"Yeah, I know," Osiris said, scrunching up his snout in distaste. "We're training. It wasn't serious; nobody's trying to hurt anyone. Except you, apparently," The dratini glanced at the cranidos he just met, watching him struggle to clear his vision. The aipom was soon followed up by two other pokemon, and Osiris drew the obvious conclusion that they were friends of the monkey, if not his actual team members. Great. He felt anxious suddenly, worried that they would intervene and take the both of them back to Grassveil. He really didn't want to have to explain to his mom why he was fighting strangers in Pecha Forest if he didn't have to.

He scowled for a moment, not sure why he felt the need to justify what they were doing to a guild member of all people. "You sure? You hit the ground pretty hard after his little sneak attack..." he said in a hushed but not quiet tone to Kestro, purposefully filling in the aipom's teammates into what he just did. A little underhanded of him, maybe, but he thought it was fair considering that Kestro just got ambushed by an actual guild member.

+1 energy = 16

Kestro finally cleared the last of the sand from his eyes. The rock type blinked several times as his vision began to clear soon after. "Mhmm, my head took the brunt of it, so I'm good," he said before finally turning his attention to the Aipom. The fossil pokemon stomped his clawed foot against the ground, a growl forming in his throat as he glared at the normal type. The Cranidos held his tongue, though, given the fact that the other two Pokemon were already starting to berate the normal type.

"You did what!?" the Bonsly yelled out, quickly taking to smack the Aipom's head with the green bulbs on its head. The Bonsly quickly went into a tirade at the Aipom, throwing expletives and or insults to the normal type. The Sudowoodo sighed out at the pair before looking over at Osiris and Kestro. The taller rock type stepped over to the two smaller Pokemon. "We're sorry about this. Carl is our newest member and a bit too excitable. We're trying to train him to be a proper explorer, but it's been a bit hard going. Uh, here," the Sudowoodo said as he reached into his bag, pulling out a Watmel berry. "It's not much, but you can use this for dyes in Grassveil," he said as he handed the large berry to the Cranidos.

Kestro blinked as he took the large berry, sniffing at it curiously before sliding it into his bag. "Um, thanks," he said before looking back at the Sudowoodo. The taller rock type smiled, waving his branched arms. "No no no, no need for thanks. It's our fault for not keeping Carl on a tighter leash. Enjoy your training, and be careful not to stay in Pecha Forest too long," the Sudowoodo said as he backed up to the other two Pokemon. With a quick swing of his arm, he knocked out his fellow teammates, and with his other he took out an Escape Orb, using it to warp the trio out of the dungeon.

Osiris' eyes bugged as he watched the trio of guild members suddenly vanish as soon as the Sudowoodo pulled out some kind of shiny sphere. He'd heard of orbs before—what aspiring explorer didn't knew a few things about items?—but that was the honest-to-goodness first time he'd seen something like that. It was a little bit awe-inspiring, really, the ease and casualness with which they teleported away.

In the silence following their disappearance, Osiris sighed heavily. "Well, that was... something." he said, scratching the top of his head with the tip of his tail. "You still wanna go a round, or maybe just explore the forest?" He was game for either, really. He'd gotten a glimpse into how the cranidos fought during that split second before aipom butted in; Kestro liked to tackle his problems head-first. He wasn't too terribly fast, and Osiris figured he probably would have been able to dodge that silvery headbutt attack if not for the interruption.

As to where he'd go from there was... anyone's guess, really. Thunder Wave and run, probably. The dratini exhaled through his nostrils, a little upset at his lack of offensive prowess. He just needed one halfway decent move, but he was stuck traning with a lackluster toolset. Maybe he'd find a TM or something the forest, he told himself, scanning the edge of the clearing hopefully. 'Til then, he just had to deal with it, and if that meant fighting a rock-type with no effective moves, well... everyone had to start somewhere.

Kestro stood there scratching his chin. What a quick and strange meeting. Unlike Osiris, who aspired to be an explorer and guild member, Kestro simply wanted to become stronger. A career path wasn't quite on his mind. Seeing the orb in action himself was, in his own words, pretty cool. He had Escape Orbs himself, but had yet to use them.

"Uuh, we can just go exploring for now," the Cranidos said, still a bit distracted by the situation they were just in. Kestro made a quick turn, beginning the trek deeper into the woods.

"O'course," Osiris said, quickly snaking after the now moving cranidos. He knew he'd be just as shaken up if a guild member snuck up on him like that. And really, Iris wasn't in much of a hurry to fight Kestro. It was pretty obvious that he would lose that fight, and while he wanted to see how well he would do against the rock-type, it could wait until they were in the mood for a fight.

The two moved without speaking for a few moments. But the stillness didn't sit particularly well with Osiris, and he found himself speaking up just for the sake of filling the silence. "... So, you said you moved to Grassveil, right? How long have you been in town?" he asked, glancing up at Kestro. He was never against making friends. If this little trip through Pecha went well, maybe they could meet up and do the same thing again some time. He needed all the training he could get if he wanted to evolve soon, and a headstrong pokemon like Kestro could help there.

Kestro found himself unnerved by the silence and stillness of the air himself. He felt like something was off with just how silent the forest had become after the guild members left. His train of thought quickly derailed as Osiris spoke up. "Hm? Uh. It's been a while now. We're still pretty new and we haven't finished unpacking in our new home."

Kestro thought back to the disheveled state of their new home in Grassveil. Containers and furniture were shoved into one area with the young Cranidos having no idea how he should arrange them. It didn't help that his caretaker and sister were still recovering, and thus couldn't really help. It took weeks for Kestro to set everything up, only for him to have to rearrange once his caretaker recovered from their journey and could put her own ideas in.

Back in the present, though, the stillness in the air finally became too much for the rock type. "Say, Osiris, doesn't it seem a bit too quiet now? Like, I can't even feel the breeze anymore."

Osiris hummed in affirmation. So he was new to town, then, and already braving the forests. That said something to the dragon-type. In contrast, Osiris had been born and raised in Grassveil, and he was only just now starting to venture out to do this kind of thing. Kestro didn't waste time, did he?

"Uh... sure?" he replied, glancing quizzically at the cranidos. Sure, it was quiet, but that wasn't unusual, was it? Especially if there weren't any pokemon around right now. Had Kestro hit his head harder than he thought? He stopped for a moment, and indeed, he felt no rushing air tickling his scales as it passed him. But still... "Breezes pass, though. It happens." If the cranidos was trying to say something else, it was going over the dratini's head.

Maybe it was a bit unusual that the two of them had been in the forest and hadn't run into anything wild, but a rescue team had just came by! As rude as the aipom had been, Osiris was sure that his team had driven away all the feral pokemon as they traveled through the mystery dungeon. The two of them would just have to go a bit farther if they wanted to find anything exciting.

Kestro frowned a bit to himself, his beak clicking several times before he finally shook his head. Osiris was right, breezes pass, and the lack of other Pokemon could just as easily be considered a stroke of luck rather than something unusual. Kestro fell silent again as they trudged through the forest. At the very least the sound of leaves crunching under his claws and sliding out of Osiris's path kept them from being in complete silence.

Kestro ended up speaking again, looking over towards the dragon type. ""So, what kinda moves do you know? Never got to see you in action thanks to that Aipom," the rock type asked. Kestro already assumed the Dratini held some powerful dragon type move or maybe even something that wasn't his type; like Kestro's Iron Head. He wondered what kinds of moves a Dratini could learn. Much like how Kestro knew little of dragon types in general, let alone the Dratini line, he had no idea. That reminded Kestro of the TM he had. His caretaker had found it before they left the oasis they used to call home. If he remembered correctly, the tm was for a move called Dragon Tail. Maybe Osiris knew it? If the Dratini did, Kestro was eager to see it in action, as he apparently couldn't learn the move until he was a Rampardos.

The dratini grimaced, visibly embarrassed at the question. "Nothing great, honestly. Thunder Wave and Dragon Dance are my best moves, but they're all I got that's really worth talking about. I can do Wrap but it's just... not very strong, you know?" It was a bit of a sore spot for Osiris, but without training or some kind of special tutoring he wasn't going to learn anything new. Pokemon learned new moves as they matured, he knew, so the only way for him to deal with this awful toolset was to actually use it. Ugh. "I'm kinda utility-focused until I learn some better tricks, really." he finished, trying to put some kind of positive spin on the fact that he had no good attacking moves.

Of course, if he really wanted, he could probably beg his mom hard enough for some more pocket money and buy a decent TM, but that seemed... distasteful to Osiris. He knew it would work, but he wanted to get past this hurdle on his own. Part of growing up was dealing with your problems like a grown-up, right? And until he could, he'd have to make do with what he had and what he could find.

"What about you? I saw that silvery shine on your headbutt, earlier—was that a steel-type move?" he asked. That was his assumption, anyway. Even if it hadn't of been, the headbutt had looked very powerful regardless.

While the two young pokemon talked, the stillness of the environment slowly and steadily intensified. Bushes, leaves, and grass ceased to flutter in the wind, and the distant buzzing and hustle of distant feral pokemon simply ceased. It became totally, eerily quiet as if the world had been frozen all around Osiris and Kestro. If the dratini hadn't been so focused on the conversation, he might have registered the delicate, creeping chill washing over them, a slow spike in temperature. But as it was, he slithered happily along, distracted with familiarizing himself with the friendly pokemon he was exploring with.

Kestro hummed in thought as Osiris talked. Thunder Wave sounded familiar to him, and Wrap seemed pretty straightforward with what it did. Dragon Dance, though, he had no idea. Again his mind went back to the TM he had. Could Osiris learn Dragon Tail? Another thought also began to form. Osiris mentioned he was utility-focused. The Cranidos assumed that meant that Osiris couldn't really attack very well. Or, at the very least, his moves didn't really allow him to deal damage the same way Kestro's Iron Head and Headbutt did. The Cranidos couldn't help but feel impressed at Osiris deciding to explore a dungeon without the ability to really actively fight. Even if that dungeon was just Pecha Forest.

Either way, perhaps Osiris and other similarly limited Pokemon could be taught a way to fight without having to rely on moves. The idea excited Kestro, unlike anything before. Thoughts were shooting back and forth underneath that hard head of his. How should he spread this idea? Where should he? Were there other ideas he hadn't even thought of? Sadly, though, the one Pokemon he knew could benefit from the fledgling idea in his head interrupted those thoughts. Kestro was a bit annoyed, but it's not like Osiris could read minds. At least... Kestro didn't think he could.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. It's called Iron Head. My caretaker says it's an egg move. Pretty much Cranidos can't learn it normally, and it has to be passed down. I also know the regular Headbutt. Plus Leer but I don't really use that move." Kestro then stopped, slinging his bag onto the ground before bringing out the Dragon Tail TM. "I also have this. I can't learn it now, apparently only Rampardos learn it." The Rock type then held the TM out to the Dratini. "Take it. It's a dragon type move, so you can probably learn it. Then you can get stronger faster!" Sure, giving the Dratini a good attacking move might completely negate the idea forming in Kestro's head, but that's all it was, an idea. Here he had a TM holding the move Dragon Tail in it. Even Kestro could pick up on the Dratini downplaying his own abilities, and felt that the TM might help give the dragon type some confidence.

"I—wait, what? For real?" Osiris asked, bewildered as Kestro abruptly offered him a dragon-type TM. He found himself snaking forward, almost reaching out to take it before he stopped himself. Hadn't he just had this thought? He couldn't just take handouts, he had to get strong the old fashioned way! ... But, man, that was a dragon-type move. It had to be good! He could already imagine himself kicking major butt with it. It could be Dragonbreath, or maybe Dragon Claw, or anything awesome like that.

Still, he stopped himself grudgingly, wanting to make sure before he accepted. Mom always said that if it was too good to be true, it often was. And even if it wasn't, he didn't want to deprive Kestro of a super cool dragon-type move in the future. "Are you serious? That'd be—well, awesome, really, but if you can use it after you evolve, then...  Are you sure?"

The conundrum weighed significantly on Osiris' conscience, so much so that he was totally oblivious of the two pokemon passing by. Colored various shades of blues and violet, they took the form of a ralts and a kirlia, skittering silently through the frozen forest, making naught a sound. The sight of a cranidos offering an item to a reluctantly protesting dratini must have interested the strange pokemon, as the kirlia made a halting movement and the pair paused where they were. The younger of the two cocked its head, its eyes lighting up greedily as it focused on the TM in Kestro's hands.

Still, they did nothing and made no noise, totally unnoticed by Osiris as they hovered creepily about twenty paces behind him and his acquaintance.

Kestro nodded. Sure it was a dragon type move, which meant it was more than likely a naturally strong move. However, Kestro had no idea how long it'd take him to evolve, nor if the move itself would fit with his own fighting style. "It's yours, but on two conditions. One, I don't wanna see you relying on it too much. And two, I have an idea for something. A type of class or club to learn how to fight without using moves. I want you to join if and when I get it set up." Kestro himself was unaware of the two strange Pokemon, the Rock type too focused on his offer to the Dratini.

"Oh. Like a school club?" Osiris asked, nodding as he thought it through. Fighting without using moves struck him as... kind of a redundant notion. Why practice something you'd never use? A pokemon always had moves handy. But maybe it could be fun—he would probably excel in such an environment. Serpentine pokemon were supposed to be good at that, right? And then his poor move-set wouldn't matter in such an environment. "I mean... I'll try it out, at least, but—"

He cut himself off when the TM in Kestro's hands suddenly jerked forward, surrounded by brilliantly bright pink-rose energy, straining against the might of the cranidos' claws. The sight startled Osiris. He flinched back, startled, not comprehending what was happening. The TM lurched again, this time more powerfully, and even though the disc was still in Kestro's claws, Iris had the good sense to slither out of the way just in case it took off flying.

A high-pitched grunt of frustration alerted the dragon-type to a presence behind him. He whirled on the spot, eyes widening in fear and surprise when he spotted two pokemon behind him. He made the connection quickly; One of them, apparently the smaller one judging by how its hands were stretched forward and its face was scrunched up in concentration, was using some kind of psychic move to try and steal Kestro's TM. The ethereal, dark coloring of them struck him as immediately unsettling, and it kept him frozen where he was.

The strange looking ralts made another high, annoyed, guttural sound. It reared its arms back one more time and cast them forward, and the glow around the dragon-type TM intensified. It yanked on the item strongly, with everything it had, apparently determined to steal it. The other, taller, equally strange pokemon at its side merely stood by daintily, either indifferent to the events unfolding or deceptively ready to intervene.
