Pokédex 002 [action, open]

It is that time again! Red is out exploring the Deep Canyon this time, and has a friend today in Blue, his childhood buddy. Hearing about his fun on the Tropical Island, she has went with him to make sure he doesn't get himself killed and train up her team with some Intensive Training while Red is searching for Pokemon to bond with.

Likely he'll be coming with her to the locale all week to help raise up her party and catch up.

For today, though. He is content to search along the rocks with Abby while Zarya stays back a bit to watch Blue while she is tutoring Nike with 'something you'll definitely like' according to her.

"What do you think, Abby?" The Charmander doesn't attempt answering, instead scanning the rocks for friends and trouble.

"Yeah...Me too." The Island had definitely shaken both of them up, but that's all the more reason to try harder and get stronger.

"I'll try to not weigh you down." Red can imagine that smile very easily, and while he's annoyed initially, he smiles and looks down to Abby who comes up.

After a pause, he reaches for his hat, donning it once more, "You don't mind if I borrow this for a bit do you?" The Charmander shakes his head, and moves to Red's side to wait. Both look over to Zarya, and Red nods when the Totodile looks over after Blue's gentle affections have perked her up. "Let's take a walk, those Ground types won't be a match for you!" Fired up finally it seems, she scrambles over, looking quite happy for once and hefting Abby up as she runs off ahead.

"H-Hey..." Red begins, and shrugs. At least his Pokémon have spirit too.

It was affectionately (and not seriously) said, dear Red.

Blue giggles as the totodile goes running off. Then, before going to follow them, she fiddled with her warp band to bring Dahlia to the group. She hadn't forgotten about offering to bring her along. When the pokémon appears, she barks, turning to look at Blue and wagging her tail in excitement. Blue pats her on the head, walking up afterwards to Red with her two in tow.

"Okay-" she takes his hand for a moment, squeezing it before letting it go. "Let's try and not lag behind them, too."

She laughs again, and starts to follow the now energetic Zarya, Dahlia and Indigo happy enough to follow (and maybe to take the lead too).

While Red is fully aware of her intent, there is a matter of pride that surely Blue knows of.

Nodding to Dahlia when she joins their group, Red looks down at the hand holding his with a moment of confusion, but meets her eyes quickly with a nod. "Alright." The laughter is infectious and he's laughing again as he jogs ahead to catch his Pokémon before they get too far ahead, but that doesn't seem likely with Blue's eager to take the lead. Over the crest of rocks that takes Red a bit to climb over, he spies Abby igniting a dry branch with Ember and holding it up proudly for Zarya, who claps and gives the Charmander a crushing hug before picking him up again and moving further still.

"H-Hey!" Red calls, and sees them joined by the other Pokémon. He sighs and scrambles up and over to the group as Zarya quickly amasses another pile of rocks and is encouraging the group to join in sorting them.

"Well. I guess patience is training, too." He leans against some of the larger rocks, sure Blue has already caught up, probably even gathering still more rocks for them.

She's caught up to them, sure, and she's watching Red's lot begin again wit the rocks. She scoffs out a bit of a laugh at the sight, putting her fists on her waist and turning her upper body to look at Red with a queer brow.

"Are you going to let them keep building?" Blue asks, referring to the rock piling. Indigo at her side doesn't know if to join in - weren't they going on adventure?

"...Good point. We need to look around more." He finally admits sheepishly. Moving over to the group, he pauses.

Then he points at them in turn, and then counts his fingers. Looking back at Blue, he opens his mouth, pausing again and then counting her Pokémon apparently.

"Hey, did you ever bond with a shelled Pokémon besides Indigo?" He asks because there is an almost snail-like Pokémon that is giving Zarya rocks carefully to add to the new pile and is also stacking some with it's many short tentacles.

"Hm?" The question has her blank, before she turns to pay attention to the pokémon she can clearly see him counting. This time, she notices the added member to their party - certainly not one of her pokémon, and not one of Red's, as far as she knows.

"Oh!" And seeing that little thing, it has to be one of the cutest new pokémon she's seen. Not one she recognises. She bends down to get a better look at it closer to its own level, though staying where she is, putting a hand onto Indigo's back.

"Isn't it adorable...?" she comments in a hushed voice, glancing back to Red. "Are you going to say hello to them?"

Red tilts his head at it and at Blue. Meanwhile, the Pokémon continues handing Zarya pebbles until Red walks over and and stops in front of Zarya and the Pokémon, and Zarya points at Red, saying something that he hopes is to his credit. Apparently it is because it looks up at him and waves with three tentacles.

He waves back and crouches down, "Hi. I'm Red." Nodding it turns back to the Totodile to hand her a few more pebbles and finally slides forward and extends a tentacle up toward him. Pausing and staring at it, he then hooks it with his finger and shakes with it. "Well, you sure are friendly..." Abby comes over, waving at it and pointing at a stick he has lit, and the Pokémon nods, saying something, to which Abby beams, points at Red, and says something in return. The Pokémon finally nudges closer to Red and he looks back to Blue.

"Think I should ask it to come with me?"

She watches the little scene, how the little pokémon moves. Had she seen anything about it in the few books she'd read? Or seen it on the network...? Nothing was coming up to mind right now, but that would be fine. It looked like the little one was getting along quite well with Red's group. And if Red took it along with him...!

And oh - about that, actually -

"No," she answers simply, eyes still focused on the pokémon. "Then I can ask it instead."

She allows a moment of silence until she looks to Red, giving him a playful smile and nodding her head encouragingly towards the pokémon.

"Go on."

Red smirks, and takes his hat from Abby's head, adjusting it keenly, and the Charmander shuffles closer to Red. Resting a hand lightly on Abby's back, he turns to look back at the Pokémon. "Well, one day you'll probably have a collection that'll make me jealous, so just let me get a few things early on, yeah?" With that he focuses on the new addition and tilts his head.

"Want to come with me?" It looks at Abby first and then Zarya who both nod. Looking down for a moment, it shuffles back as Red extends a hand and pauses a moment before taking it.

"That's the spirit." Shaking, he lets it go and stares at the shell on it's back for a long time.

"...Adenine. I'll call you Adenine." Nodding, it looks at Abby and Zarya again, the later which comes and picks up Adenine, who says something and points, which Zarya immediately starts walking in that direction with Abby following.

"Maybe our adventure has started?"

She sticks out her tongue in response to the comment about a jealous-worthy collection, but sits and watches once more without a word.

And when he's done, Blue picks herself up, giving her legs a kick against the ground for how long she had been crouched for. Indigo makes a sound, then goes following after the hurriedly crew that's already started walking off, not wanting to be left behind. Dahlia at least has some patience - or, at least, enough to wait for Blue.

"Only now?" She adjusts her hat, giving a click of her tongue to Dahlia before moving. "Hmm. Let's see what trouble we'll get into today, then."

"Could be worse." Granted, not greatly, but Red would much rather endure this than what else has come his way lately. Jogging after the rushing group, he has to stop abruptly they crest another hill and finds Zarya and Abby digging while Adenine watches.

"Maybe it's a treasure." He sounds pretty skeptical, but he doesn't want to ruin their fun since they look excited.

And how quickly they've been halted once more. "Your pokémon do like to play."

Blue was sceptical about this being a treasure too, and while she paused along with the group, she was wondering if they should stop to let them do what they wanted or to keep moving on. She and her pokémon could have a look around, at least...

Maybe she'll do that. "How about I have a look around with my two?"

"Sure, I'll keep an eye on them." His tone says he'd rather go with her, but just in case trouble does happen he wants to be here. He really was going to have to discuss how much they were playing later though. After Blue has left, the discovery happens, Abby uncovers part of some kind of rock, and Adenine says something and encourages the Charmander on. Digging faster, he holds up a Fire Stone! Red looks excited until Abby actually hands it to him; a spent Fire Stone.

Soon added to with a broken TM, a cracked Heart Scale, and an empty Lemonade can. He sighs. Yes it might be rare and wonderful for them, as the Pokémon are admiring the shinies, but for Red it's just a headache.

It is the tone of a father with too much love to say no. Blue gives him a sympathetic smiling before leaving, to survey what was up ahead and for anything exciting. Like levels. Beautiful levels that Red can't have.

She returns the same way after a time, having expected at a point for Red and his gang to come following after her or be at least be uncovering an amazing new discovery. Seeing the sight of them with the small collection of what, Blue can't see right away, she calls with a wave.

"Hey! Find anything good?"

And oh, what bad news there will be upon approaching the gang, seeing the results of their labour - that the pokémon are apparently proud of! Well... at least they're proud?

"You guys found a lot. You must've had fun." Said, of course, to the pokémon. And not Red. Poor Red.

Poor Red indeed. Standing up, he dusts himself off and sighs. The Pokémon of course are eager to show off their findings, but Red has officially had enough. "Why don't we pack it in and come back tomorrow? I think this one knows something about the Canyon, as he apparently knew about these." He points at their junk treasures, and the Omanyte beams at the recognition.

"Maybe we can get him to take us deeper into it. How was your trip?" Red is at least hoping to hear something exciting happened to someone at least.

"Some pokémon are better at finding buried goods than others," she points out, nevertheless looking at their goods with a little bit of interest. Does that sound bad? "But if your new friend has a knack for finding things, they could be helpful in the future picking up better goods."

At least they were useful once upon a time. Anyway, as for that question...

"It goes quite far up along that way and divides off. It looks interesting." She shifts her bag, laughing a little. "But we can check it out tomorrow. Let's go home."
