Greetings everyone. Can I have your attention if you don't mind? My name is Chris Ramirez, former Ranger-in-training now Delver and I have a few questions to pose to you. First off, if you are a Ranger or even a Guard you may or may not have heard my surname in relation to any doctors or physicians. Not to mention the fact that I am from a long line of Rangers so... needless to say that I am breaking the tradition is kind of stating the obvious to put it mildly.

On to business now, while I'm concerned about running out of supplies there is a limited amount of Delvers in Union so that in itself poses a problem. While we aren't at that point we still should be cautious.

[Text message ends.]

[Action: Against Chris' own better judgement the young man had made the trip to somewhere on the outskirts of the Scorched Forest. He also planned to venture to the Lake Shrine later on as well to see if he could find any sign of something that could help the city of Union. So with his Eevee Carmen trailing along Chris had arrived without backup.]

Today was definitely not a good day for Chris. Not only is he a little hurt from the other Pineco exploding, but he found no evidnece of an iron ore mine. So Chris did the most logical thing in dealing with Pineco. He explains himself. Hopefully this will not be a repeat of the other Pineco...

"I guess I'm just confusing ypou aren't I?" Without waiting for the Pineco to confirm this, he continued to tell it why he was here. "I needed to find a iron ore mine because we need it to survive. We use it for various things like weapons, armor, and anything to understand Pokemon and survive out here. That is what it boils down to. Our survival."

[Pineco listens. There isn't too much sympathy, but it can at least understand the need for resources for survival.

It can tell him where there is a particularly delicious berry bush if he is dying of starvation or anything as long as he promises only to take a little. It was hard to find much food in the Scorched Forest.]

At least Pineco was a little clamer now. Chris didn't want to startle the bug Pokemon again so he looked over Pinco once more. "There's much more food in the city I come from. There's all sorts of Pokemon there too, like Carmen here. But.. I appreciate you being straightfoward." The mentioned Eevee gave a slightly annoyed look at Pineco. Almost as if to say 'don't you think of anything but food'.

[Pineco levels a dour stare at Eevee. What else do you need to survive? Food and a place to keep out of the rain. That's it.

You people were so complicated.]

Carmen probably would have Tackled the Pineco at that moment if Chris hadn't seen the look the Eevee gave him and carefully hoisted the evolution Pokemon on his shoulder. Not wanting to fight Chris' intervention the Eevee just relaxed but the glare was still there.

"Easy now, Carmen. that's not an enemy. You can't fault one lone Pokemon for thinking survival over all else. In that respect not too much different from us."

[Pineco would stick its tongue out at Eevee if it had a visible mouth.

Does he want to see the berries, then?]
