Valen was sweating bullets. This whole battle with a fire type was making him nervous. Couldn't the ember attack ending up starting a fire or something around them?

Qwerty wouldn't like this but they were going to run. Let the Growlithe have his stupid territory or something, fear was at the forefront of Valen's mind. Maybe for a second he'd considered that this was a new experience, this was a whole new place, this was a fresh journey where he could reinvent himself.

But those thoughts were short-lived as he saw another Ember fly by. Valen took out the pokeball with trembling hands and pressed the return button once more. Thankfully, Qwerty was caught off gaurd and dissappeared in a flash of red. No matter how huffy or cross she became, Valen decided he would deal with it accordingly. He couldn't do this.

Valen hurried away!

He was going to hightail it to Highhill Town.










Indy couldn't help it- he sneered at Margo mischeviously. "Don't freak out too much." Now that he thought about it, he didn't want Margo choking him with a deathly grip if she got too scared though...

They climbed higher and higher, covering distance that would have taken them hours in a matter of seconds. Indigo patted the Drampa's neck. What a strong, noble pokemon it was! He'd have to try and coax it to join his team. Enjoying the breeze that lifted the sweat off their perspiring foreheads and their spirits, they soared with ease. Indigo enjoyed with a quiet admiration at the varying colors of the canyon and flora that turned into what seemed like brushstrokes on a canvas. "It's beautiful."

Sometime soon though, Zvi shouted out a question, and Indy knew where he wanted to go. "Say, Cloud Temple sounds like an awesome place to go!" He shouted over the wind, hoping Margo and Dan would agree.

posted! love the music @Balthazar007.
It seemed as if an unknown force had heard their pleas or something, Indigo thought as his eyes shifted over when a large shadow suddenly passed over them. Incredibly enough, an old but regal looking dragon pokemon had a boy riding on his back. The kid was a little dirty, his clothes ragged, but his face was shining with a broad smile and his posture was relaxed. As he touched down in front of them, Indy couldn't help but notice how elegant the pokemon he was riding on was.

Woah, he thought. It appeared that the boy, Zvi, and Daniel knew each other. Well this was a welcome surprise, even if Zvi seemed a bit odd. Raised by a pokemon? I've only seen that in movies, not real life. But here was an example standing right before him. As much as he wanted to ask questions, his tiredness was more prominent. After he caught his breath he would be more open to chatting. For now though, as Pawpaw the Drampa called over another friend, Indigo was more than comfortable waiting in silence. "Don't mind me, I'm just chilling," Indigo said with a lazy wave of his hand. "Nice of you to drop by, Zvi. Thanks again. You have no idea how much this helps us."

Zvi busied himself with peppering Daniel and Margo with questions, their conversation animated and inquisitive. But they were once again interrupted by a shadow crossing over them once more.

"Ooooh, this is Hermes! Meet Hermes, you guys, he's a friend of Pawpaws!" Zvi beamed. "Hermes, meet Margo, Indy, and Dan!"

Hermes flicked his ears, his maw stretching into a friendly smile. He made a noise from the back of his throat, a low, rumbling growl. Still, the pokemon didn't seem to try to be threatening them.

"Two per person, so one person could ride with me and the other two can ride with Hermes," Zvi offered.

Indigo stood up, yawning. "Let's do it," he said, walking over to Hermes. The Drampa wagged his tail, almost as if he were a dog. Indigo couldn't help but grin. It was a beautiful pokemon, and draon type too? Perhaps there was a chance he could catch this one. First thing first though, he'd have to acquaint himself properly.

"Indy," he said, bowing to the dragon, reaching out to touch the scaly snout. Hermes let out another low rumble before offering a soft wing for Indigo to climb upon. Grabbing the feathery fluff and hoisting himself up, Indy marveled at the exquisite texture of the pokemon's downy coat.

"This is awesome," he mumbled, wrapping his arms around the Drampa's neck and leaning against the pokemon. "Don't mind me, I'm ready to go whenever." He closed his eyes. He'd just have to catch this pokemon. He'd caught an ugly Magnemite in Kanto, and he had been raising it! Surely now the wind would be blowing in his favor?
@Balthazar007 could you bring in wild boy zvi? :D

Sorry for the wait! I figured it might be nice for them to talk a little more as well. Maybe Margo could talk about unova..
Indy squinted at Dan in observation. Well, apparently Twiggy didn't hate him that much if Dan could grab a ride whenever. Feeling better about it, Indy decided that there wasn't really anything to fret about. So began their trek up the craggy, sandy, mountain trail.

Still, after an hour, Indy found himself wanting to take a break. They still had probably another six to seven hours to go, and the hike had made him hungry. Even with it not being a very hot day, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead and his breath was coming up in wheezes.

"This kinda sucks," he grumbled. Though not unfit, the path was challenging even for the most seasoned of hikers, that was for sure. "You guys have to be at least a little tired." Indigo sighed and wiped at his forehead. "Sure would have been nice if that stupid, dinky Shamba Town had some actual services for trainers. They've got a gym but barely any businesses." Indy rolled his eyes. "I miss Celedon. They've got like 5 story shopping malls there, and there's nothing you can't find." They had just come back from Celadon, true, but the events at Pewter had spoken them up so they hadn't truly been able to enjoy themselves.

"Wish we could have showed you the funner stuff, Margo. Actually, I kinda wish we had a car right now...."
Sorry for taking so long! I'll post soon!




As the fireball went whizzing past Valen, his heart beat furiously and sweat appeared on his brow. Of all the things that could have terrified him, or come hurtling his way, a fireball? What were the odds? Why me?

"Ahhh!" He ducked, covering his head, trying to run in the opposite direction but only managing to trip and fall in his panic. "Qwerty! Snivy!"

While the Snivy didn't seem to care all that much, Qwerty's attention was promptly at Valen's side. "Kree!" The Virtual Pokemon exclaimed, worried, angry, and confused all at once. She was hovering in the air-- and the next thing Valen knew, she had been hit by another fireball from the snarling Growlithe. His eyes widened in horror. "Qwerty?!" The pokemon was knocked back, but his initial reaction was transformed into one of awe as Qwerty's body began to change color. The flat pink and blue planes that made up her form changed to fiery red and orange, and a shimmering heat seemed to be emanating from her.

"That's... Conversion 2," Valen mumbled, dazed. Qwerty had been hit by the attack, no doubt, but she seemed fine for the most part.

All Valerian truly wanted to do was run and get out of their situation, but Qwerty was angry. If that Growlith didn't want them in his territory, well, he could have been much more polite about it, she thought. How dare he ambush them with his awful Embers? She wouldn't stand for it! With a shrill cry, she whizzed towards the Growlithe, readying a Psybeam.

"Wait no, Qwerty! Come back!" Valen shouted, but Qwerty refused. The Snivy watched on, curious, itching to join the fight... Valen, who noticed the eager grass snake's fighting stance, pushed him back. The Snivy responded with and indignant hiss.

"Two against one's not fair," Valen said, shaking his head. "I know you don't like me, I'm sorry about this..." Snivy was recalled back to the pokeball in a flash of red. The capsule shook once, as if to protest, but Snivy was somewhat tired after his training.

"Qwerty, you too, sorry but now! Return!" But the return light beam kept missing the very much excited Porygon, who was itching to prove to this Growlithe that it couldn't mess with them! She refused to back down! Valen pressed his fingers to his temples. It seemed like he was going to be engaged in this mess no matter what. I hope we make it out of this, alright.










Sorry for the wait, I'll be posting it momentarily.

@prettydrops: That's fine with me.


I just realized, with Dan's new condition, he might not be able to make it up Mt. Leeman trail, especially getting out of the hospital? So I wasn't sure whether they would get the ride pokemon for Dan (I'm sure there's services and whatnot where you can rent pokemon) or just proceed to the trail.
The next day was a partly cloudy one, with a 30% chance of light showers, according to the weather app on the pokedex anyways. Dan would be getting properly discharged from the hospital while Indigo was just waking up. The balmy late morning sun rays filtered through a crack in the curtains, finally rousing him from his sleep.

"Ughhh is it time to wake up already?" Indigo shook his head. "Time to get ready..."

After grabbing breakfast, getting ready, and packing up his supplies, he was ready to meet Daniel and Margo at the front of the pokemon center so they could decide on their next destination. There were quite a few routes they could take, and while the choices were all equally interesting, they needed to decide their next destination somehow. There was the adjustment of traveling with Dan's condition, they couldn't get his heart rate too far up. Indigo thought back to what Margo had mentioned. Perhaps there were service pokemon available...?

Well, they would figure it out, he was sure of it.
