{ } While the city was beautiful to some, Derek quickly became exhausted with it. Instead of enjoying some time at the national park, he opted to come out to route 35 for some peace and quiet. Thankfully those human passerby who did come through didn't have it in them to bother Derek, who had two of his pokemon out to roam freely and play while he sat with his back against a tree. He'd almost fallen asleep to the soft tune his Taillow, Shirley, tweeted aloud for any of those close enough to hear. His Charmander seemed preoccupied lighting small bits of grass on fire with the end of his tail...he probably should've stopped it, but he didn't want to dissuade the little guy from enjoying himself. As his eyes began to close, however, Derek noticed the flapping wings of a bird pokemon. Only, it didn't seem to be his Taillow's doing, who was on the lowest branch on the tree above him that he leaned upon. Opening his eyes, Derek came to acknowledge what appeared to be a Starly investigating whatever had been singing. He almost had it in him to grab a pokeball and tell his pokemon to attack, but for some reason Derek had hesitated... "Hey little guy. You looking for a friend to sing with today?"Waiting for some kind of response or reaction, Derek noticed the footsteps of an approaching trainer growing louder, and thus closer to him. Who was it?

Because the night is young, the line is out the door. Today was crazy but, tonight the city is ours! Teru has suddenly ended up making another break for it, as was usual for the curious little male these days. Of course this meant that Antreas was tasked with following after his little companion to locate him again. Keeping close tabs on the little bird, he kept jogging along and finally saw Teru decide to stop somewhere. Oh? " Teru!" He called out, closing the last bit of distance finally, getting a look from the little Starly who had stopped on a branch to greet a Taillow that had been there, underneath a man was laying. " I'm sorry, was he bothering you?" Antreas asked, his voice was by not means soft, but it had a smooth, honey like tone to it. A very light sort of way to speech and almost regal, to a degree. But perhaps that was how one sounded when growing up living among the post, rich sorts. Yet due to his lifestyle, Antreas never ended up the spoiled sort, but learning to value the rewards from hard work and effort. Today had been a nice day and so it was just a pair of pink shorts with yellow bordering and a light blue t-shirt he wore. His hair had been tied up in a ponytail for the little trek he'd been taking as well. " I'm Antreas, that up there is my new companion, Teru. Apologies for the little disturbance, he loves to run off and investigate new things." Antreas mentioned, with a slight sigh. He looked up, seeing Teru bouncing comically back and forth on the branch to try and entertain the other bird up above them. Well, he seemed to be trying at least. The Starly having fun in his little attempts at this. He looked back down at the man, though, and glanced over at the Charmander that was somewhere nearby. MADE BY NOVA

{ } "Oh, they're yours?" Derek wasn't very surprised to know it, as many trainers had their pokemon out with them to enjoy the nice weather. Propping himself up onto his feet, Derek dusted off his clothes of any residual dirt with one hand while the other reached out towards the other trainer of sorts. "Ah, no worries. They weren't bothering us at all. I've actually been looking for other pokemon for my Taillow here to play with. She doesn't like Zeke very much...where did that little bugger run off to, anyway?"The trainer's head swiveled right and left, noticing the fiery tail of his Charmander from around the tree he'd been sitting against. "Ah, there you are. Say hi, won't you?" The pokemon walked around the tree and in front of Derek, waving one of his hands towards the jogger as well as her pokemon. "I'm Derek. Today is sort of our vacation, from training I mean. We would've gone to the national park, but I felt like it'd be too packed."Watching his pokemon shy back around the tree, Derek couldn't help but flash a guilty smile. "He's been acting a little odd lately. Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, where are you headed?"MADE BY VEL OF GS + WW @antreas

Because the night is young, the line is out the door. Today was crazy but, tonight the city is ours! When the trainer didn't seem upset or bothered by having Teru suddenly appear like he did it gave Antreas a bit of a relieved feeling. That was good, as Antreas really didn't feel like conflict. It wasn't something he had in him all that much. At the offer of a hand, Antreas reached out with a smile and gave a firm shake. The man had introduced himself as Derek and his Charmander nearby as Zeke. When asked about his destination, Antreas had to think on that. " Mmm... Can't really say for sure. I've been sort of moving to and from places, in all honesty. No specific goal in mind except to keep checking everything out. I arrived here recently from Hoenn, so I don't exactly know the place all that well." He finally explained. He didn't sound all that awkward or anything at admitting all of that, even if he was in a new place that he didn't know about. While many could feel a nervous tension, Antreas instead had an excitement boiling in him, the eagerness to learn everything he could about the new region he'd be living within. Above them Teru was still bouncing around on the branch in an attempt to entertain the Taillow, hoping to grab a little interest as he would chitter during small intervals. From time to time a flick of the tail and he'd bob his head, spread his wings, whatever. If he could catch the eye, that was all the little Starly sought. Some attention, especially so from another bird as well. It had been a while since he'd met with one after all, so why not enjoy the moment? MADE BY NOVA

{ } "Hoenn, huh? Sounds like you've been on quite the journey then." Derek responded as he took what they said in mind, allowing his hand to fall back to his side after the momentary handshake. They seemed to be adjusting rather well, if he could even call it that. As a native, Derek couldn't really relate with moving to another region, and beyond that... Shirley the Taillow seemed very much interested in the friendly bird that was chirping and giving demonstrations of it's glamorous feathers, hopping closer to the Starly and nudging it with it's head affectionately before making something akin to...a purr, was it? They both certainly seemed to be hitting it off. "I'm on the path to taking up the region's gym challenges myself. Me and Zeke here aren't gonna settle for anything less than all eight badges - ain't that right, buddy?"The Charmander gave out an excited 'Char!' before going back to it's business, which was finding a tree to rake his claws against in order to sharpen them. "We don't have any to our name yet, though. But I am actually planning on heading to one of them soon to see if I can't book a match. Only thing is...we haven't even battled another trainer yet." Laughing impulsively, Derek's hand sought out the back of his head to rub it out of nervous reflex. That probably didn't make his chances of success sound very good... like, at all.

Because the night is young, the line is out the door. Today was crazy but, tonight the city is ours! A nod came from Antreas in response to what Derek had said. " Certainly a long one, but I think it was worth it. I've always wanted to travel somewhere and see a new place anyway." He mentioned. His dream had certainly come true upon making it to the Johto region, that was for sure. In fact, he did enjoy things here and loved seeing the new world that he had suddenly come to. Much less one he had his own home in as well thanks to the help he received from his parents in obtaining. Although that was all it was, and now Antreas was much more intent on doing things himself from here on out. When asked about the gym challenge he mulled it over a moment, Antreas having never thought much about it. " Hmmm... I don't really think so. I'm going to aim for being a Breeder. Although, I don't think I want to be projected as the stereotypical sort, where my Pokemon are less suited to battle than an actual Trainer. I'd like for any of my Pokemon to be able to hold their own, especially if a situation ever arose where I couldn't direct them and they had to handle it on their own, it'd benefit to be just as strong as any Pokemon raised by an actual Trainer." Antreas explained his musings on the subject and why he was sort of branching in a slightly different path. He guessed it just meant he was more of a breeder for battling Pokemon in that sense, raising the strongest ones he could, versus just doing so for other non-battling reasons anyway. Delighted at the response, Teru hopped around a bit more while tweeting cheerily before suddenly flitting to a nearby branch, looking back to see if the Taillow was going to follow. Though he then returned to the one prior, and again repeated the process by making his way back to the branch he'd gone to yet again. It was a bit of an invitation to a little game of the sorts, wanting to play a bit with this new friend he seemed to be making of the Taillow. MADE BY NOVA

{ } As they admitted their aspiration to be a breeder, Derek's eyes widened a little. "That's great! I've never met a breeder before. I hope you do well." He was being as genuine as possible, and was glad to know they intended to train their pokemon for battle as well. They'd had a lot on their mind, but if Antreas could manage, they'd be better off for it in the end. "Well, I suppose the gym challenge isn't for everyone. If we ever catch up, I'd love to hear about how the pokemon breeding has gone. I've heard lots of good things about it on the tele, so perhaps you'll have some luck."As the two birds chirped along, the same as the trainers continuing with their conversation, Derek noticed the Starly begin to fly away. Antreas, responsible for them, began to chase their way as well. Derek wasn't sure what to do...that was, until Charmander began making a hasty retreat for the city. He must not have liked it out here that much, and figured there would be more to do back in the city. Leaving without being able to exchange info, Derek hoped that maybe one day they'd happen across one another just like today. Or maybe not... | END OF THREAD | MADE BY VEL OF GS + WW @antreas
