Bosco was one who was not easily stopped when it came to a number of things. It had been a short while since the falling of the tower. A deep sign escaped his lips as he walked, adjusting his backpack and smiling at Dilla a bit. "Well little buddy, we have already been through a lot and we have not even been here for that long. I do wonder what thrills we will find out here." He said, rubbing the small pokemon's head for a moment as he started down the road. While he was sure he go ride down this way, he really didn't want to.
There was something about going along the trip on foot that made it more comfortable for him. It made it more real. He knew there was a lot of things that could go wrong along this way, he could be attacked by the team virus group, but this time he was not going to be ambushed that way again. He was not going to be caught by surprise like that again. He really and truly hated what happened on that day, but in a way, it had made them all a little stronger, and it had made them all a little bit better from what they had been. There had been loss, pain and suffering by many... Hell, his ribs still hurt some times, but he was going to keep going. He could see someone on the road ahead of him, and part of him wondered if it was someone he knew.

[attr="class","smdbody"]"bos-co."
'huh, i'm surprised i even remember his name and his face so well. i guess it's the white hair and blue eyes he's got going on.'
ash had been leaning against a nearby tree that stood several meters away from the main path. her gaze would be fixed upon the male the moment he had slipped into view, a glimmer of recognition and excitement present within brown orbs.
"it's been a while, hasn't it?"
they hadn't had a proper conversation since they had last parted ways at the hotel some odd weeks ago. and her schedule had been so thoroughly packed that she had failed to shoot him a message between now and then. his contact information still remained in her phone despite this, though.
"and is that - "
she blinked owlishly at the croconaw accompanying the male.
" - is that dilla? holy shit, he evolved."
her face split into a wide grin, her teeth flashing as the wolfish smile broadened out.
"he looks stronger, too."
after pushing away from the tree, the novice trainer moved to close some of the distance between herself and bosco.
"it's real good to see ya again," she continued before cocking her head to the side. "how have ya been lately?"

"Hey. Yeah it has been." He said, smiling a bit. Rubbing Croconaw's head for a moment, the pokemon looked at her for a moment before walking up to her. He eyed her up and down and then did a little dance around her. While it wasn't as excited as it was the first time when they met, it was still the same style dance as he had done before. "Yeah, he evolved while I was going to the Safari Zone. I got a Munchlax while I was there too. He has gotten pretty strong."
"He is stronger, though I don't know if the scar is going to heal fully." He said, Dilla looking at his right arm and then slapping it like it was not even hurt. A scar ran down from about the shoulder to his elbow. "We were at the tower when some extremist group showed up and laid into everyone. The second floor fell in on itself. I thought I saw you there, but I was so damned sure, but now it's kinda fuzzy. I was so focused on trying to keep that pillar from falling in on itself, so people could escape as fast as possible."
Shaking his head to clear it, he smiled at her. "Aside from that, we both have been great. My ribs are all healed up, and I'm back on the road, hunting down my dream team so I can start fighting against some gym leaders and do my best to go through the league. I want to make a strong team, like before, and eventually challenge someone like you to see how far I have come."

[attr="class","smdbody"]"wait a second..."
ash blinked up at the white-haired male, her expression quickly transitioning into one of surprise.
"you were there? at the tower? the one that fell?"
her gaze shifted to take in the sight of his scar, his formerly unmarred length of pale skin now ruined by the recently healed over flesh. the girl fell silent while taking the sight of it in, her lips pursed as she inclined her head and furrowed her brows. her nostrils would flare, her anger growing increasingly apparent with each passing second as she stared at his scar.
'i couldn't even do anything to help - i didn't even know he was there. it's not my fault but it sure feels like it.'
she felt a familiar surge of frustration, and could barely make sense of his words. but once she had, she would blink rapidly and snap her gaze up to meet his own; the change of subject would make for a welcome one.
"the league?"
ash eyed him up and down for a moment, attempting to recall their previously held conversation.
"i didn't know you were trying for champ, bosco," she said. "that'd make us rivals, ya know?"
there was a playful edge present in her tone of voice as she said this, her smile finally making its return.
"guess that means i'll be fighting dilla pretty soon. which sucks, 'cause i'd hate to hurt that handsome mug of his."
'won't be too long before he reaches his final stage, i imagine.'
"i made a trip to the safari zone a few days ago, actually. i'll show you mine if you show me yours."
the girl raised her recent edition's capsule so that bosco could clearly see that it was indeed a safari ball, the woman having casually plucked it from her belt.

"Well, I'm sure he could use the battle experience. He had never faced off against another trainer, just been battling against wilds." He said, chuckling a bit as he rubbed the head of the small pokemon for a moment before pulling out the Pokeballs he was carrying, including a single safari ball. He smiled and tossed each one out, allowing the pokemon he was carrying to come back out into the open air and enjoy being outside for a little while. First, there was Gastly. She took a moment to look around before floating towards Ashley, looking her over. She was curious of her, and then looked back at Bosco who simply nodded, and the pokemon went to float a bit further away, almost like she was a guard of the group and making sure that everyone was safe and sound. Following that was the Kabuto. While he was not the strongest of his breed, he was still spunky and bold. He skittered around her for a moment, dripping water and seeming to just be having the time of his life the whole time he was out. He then spotted a small rock and went over there, scratching around it like he was hunting down something to eat. Dilla still stood there, looking at the others as they were summoned back to reality. The last one to be called was the one he didn't seem to care for at all. The large and heavy weight Munchlax, who looked up at Ashley and then pointed towards her own mouth, as if asking her to feed the small every hungry pokemon. Bosco chuckled a bit and shook his head. "My current team. Onix is getting a much needed rest at the pokemon center while she is treated for burns and stress. She did her best, holding up the pillar at the center of the tower to buy as much time as she could for everyone to escape." He said, smiling a bit and then looking back at her. "I also got something for you. I saw you doing battle there, and know how easy as it is to lose sight of where you have been." He opened his backpack up and dug around in it for a moment, before pulling out a small necklace. On the end of it, was the symbol of Arceus, but it was made of the nails that he had recovered from the building after everything was all said and done. He had gone back to help to clean up efforts, and thanks to that, he had recovered a few nails. "I meant to bring it to you while you were in the hospital." ASHLEY LEE

[attr="class","smdbody"]"oh - uh..."
ash blinked owlishly at the gift before raising her hand and grasping at the necklace. her smile was a bit awkward, the girl unaccustomed to receiving gifts outside of the usual events such as birthdays, holidays and so on.
"did you make this?"
she almost immediately recognized the symbol, a fond look now gently creasing at her facial features. while she couldn't exactly be considered religious, she still believed in the legends and the creation myth that surrounded arceus.
"thank you," she said, simply.
instead of pocketing it, ash donned the custom made jewelry, gently fingering it once its cold material rested against the gentle curve of her upper chest. it was then that she decided that it would be one of her very few personal treasures. and while adornments such as earrings and bracelets typically weren't her thing, she'd make an exception in this case.
"oh, yeah. lemme bring out mine."
she released her medicham, mawile, donphan, luxray, zoroark and staraptor in that order. they each remained close, aware that their mistress would prefer that they not wander unless she granted them permission to do so.
"you know rook, queen and bishop," ash said, gesturing toward her original three.
the brunette had discussed them at length with the youth during their very first meeting, after all.
"i caught knight - my luxray - after we met. jester - the zoroark - is my safari 'mon and i found my staraptor - his name's courier - a little after that."
it felt nice to properly introduce her team to bosco. she hadn't been granted the opportunity to do so beforehand, and felt it appropriate to do so now. her companions would take in the snowy-haired youth and his team, a majority of them appearing to be mildly curious.
"how's training coming along," she questioned, gingerly tugging at her new necklace. "dilla looks stronger, obviously."

"I did. While I was helping with the clean up, I pulled a few nails that had been left behind from the floor's rubble that we had been on. I used to help a building engineer before I became a trainer. I picked up a few tricks, and then had a few hobbies on the side. One of them was working with metal in various forms, so making this was easy. I have one like it as well. It's a charm I keep for good luck now." He said, smiling a bit at her for a moment as she put the necklace on. "Ahh, yes. I recall the first three. They look like they have gotten a lot stronger, that is good. It looks like, however, I have a very long way to go before I can really compete with you. I have been slacking in my training after getting hurt and letting my pokemon rest. I don't want them to have any long term problems, ya know?" He asked, rubbing Dilla's head before looking at the scar on him. "I know it is something that happens, but... I would rather have long term friends than pokemon as tools. We share this world with them after all." He looked over each pokemon in turn. Taking them in and smiling a bit. "You have quite the team. Mine is nearly filled out as well. I just need to find a few more of the one's I am after, and I have what I need." He said, nodding once before rubbing the head of the Munchlax next, giving her a treat to make her calm down. "So, aside from healing and training, what is new for you? You have been busy, it shows."

[attr="class","smdbody"]the young woman had benefited from a quick recovery, she supposed. bosco had admitted to having been forced to neglect training in favor of his allowing both his companions and himself an extended period of rest; and ash couldn't necessarily fault him for that, having no legitimate right to do so. her pokemon hadn't sustain any notable injuries, and she had only acquired a broken arm and a plethora of bruises from the experience overall.
"i've been busy."
she gestured, indicating to her companions that they were given leave to spread out as long as they remained within eye shot of their mistress. rook, as usual, remained by her side.
"it's mostly been training and the occasional odd job, ya know?"
ash remained tight-lipped about her work with LORE and those affiliated with the obscure organization. instead, she veered the focus of the conversation to something far more simple.
"it's been a lil hard to balance the two," she said, rubbing at the back of neck. "i need to make sure my 'mons get what they need while making a decent amount of fast cash."
the girl then moved a little closer to the now snacking munchlax, kneeling before the chubby normal-type to give her a good look.
"you found this one in the safari, right?"
ash tugged her pokedex from her pocket, before pointing the camera in the munching creature's direction to give it a quick scan.
"anything that looks edible, munchlax will go on and swallow whole. its stomach is tough enough to handle it even if the food has gone rotten," the pokedex chimed.
the girl released a quiet hum in response to the helpful blurb of information before glancing at the text that crossed the small screen which would confirm the gender and age of the munchlax.
"she'll be a toughie once she evolves," ash remarked. "won't ya, girl?"
ash returned to standing, brushing off her now dirt-encrusted knees after doing so.
"how long before ya catch up, ya think? got a rough estimate in mind?"
she was curious about how he paced himself when training and the general intensity of it.

"Oh yeah, I understand that fully. I worked as a engineer for my teen years to help support my family. I've got a little bit tucked away just in case I need it. Ans based on the team you have, it makes sense that you have been busy. Onix is still at the pokemon center, but she is almost a local celeb at this point. You would think that people never heard of a pokemon and her trainer being brave." He shrugged once and watched her as she looked over the Munchlax. "Yes I did catch her there. She put up a serious fight two. Broke one of my safari balls and everything. But overall, I think it was a good run. Now to train her up and get her to be the tank she can be one day." He said, smiling a bit and popping another treat into her mouth. "I had to get these treats special. They cost a lot, but are worth it. High in everything she needs to grow quickly. As for how long it will take me to catch up..." He sighed a bit. "I'm not overly sure. I'm worried about this Virus stuff, so I am taking it slow to be careful, but... I know if I want to be any help to anyone, I have to train harder. I think I am going to help Dilla reach his final form, and then I am going to focus on the others. From there, I'm not sure. Maybe a few weeks. Just started to travel again. I'm seeking out the last of who I want to join me in this adventure, then I am going to start really cracking down. If you know anyone with a Nidoran or a Magmar, let me know. And... If possible, I do have a favor to ask you." ASHLEY LEE

[attr="class","smdbody"]ash frowned deeply as the youth mentioned virus. they were a notably unsavory lot, and had caused quite a stir in the region as of late. she feared their impact would be monumental if they were left unchecked.
'and i doubt the league will do anything about them.'
from the girl's perspective, their response had been sluggish and lackluster. there had been no change brought forth to actively combat them. it was likely a criminal investigation was taking place at this very moment, but ash felt as though little would be gained from that.
'we'll deal with it ourselves, then.'
it was a pity that their government was so pathetically weak that the region had to depend upon its own trainers to take action against a terrorist organization such as virus.
'we'll fix it,' she thought. 'we'll fix it.'
"a magmar or a nidoran. got it," ash said, distractedly.
at least bosco's tastes were adequate, his team likely to become a more respectable bunch in good time. ash was reminded of when she had only a mawile, a phanpy and a meditite on hand. she had made do, of course, and carefully invested the time and effort needed to raise them into a decently powered trio of 'mons.
"a favor?"
ash blinked, once again tugging herself free of her thoughts.
"it depends on what it is," she responded, eyeing the male.

"Well, the favor is pretty simple. I want to learn to fight. Not just rely on my pokemon to do it. I know I won't have the same level of skill as most dedicated fighters, but I would rather not be helpless and have to use my pokemon for all my fighting." He shook his head and raised his hand back up to his ribs. "Back then, if people had not tried to rush to glory, if I had known how to fight, I could have gone up there while he was busy and knocked him out. Or at least made it so we could do something other than fall to the tune of a hell of a lot of pain."
With a shake of his head, he would sigh softly and rub Croconaw's head for a second. "I don't want to be caught like that again, ever. I know you have some skill in fighting. I can tell by the way you move, it's the walk of someone who is on guard, who is ready for the unexpected. I still move about like I am in the city, dealing with normal people just trying to make a living. So, if you can help me learn, or simply have me train with a teacher of yours, that would greatly help. Just enough to not be useless in a fight I mean."

[attr="class","smdbody"]"you wanna learn how to fight?"
the girl laughed, initially taking it as some form of lame joke before she quickly sobered once she realized that bosco was being entirely serious.
"oh."
ash blinked dumbly at the white-haired youth before she ran her callous fingers through her own brown locks. she took that moment to mull over a response to such a request before she shook her head from side to side.
"my style is..."
she hadn't trained under a master, having instead developed a style by mimicking that of experienced fighting-types. by adopting a portion of her medicham's personal style, she had developed her own. her body had adapted to the training she endured, and had grown remarkably tough as a result.
"i won't make for a good teacher," she admitted. "hell - i doubt i'd make for even a half-decent teacher. i'm entirely self-taught, bosco. but i can give you some tips on how to start out, i guess."
ash would allow him that much, because she considered him to be a friend if nothing else.
"i can show you how i spend my days working on improving my body and my form. gimmie a week of your time, and we can figure out a regime that works for ya. you'll need to pack for it, though, and your 'mons are gonna be pretty involved in the process as well."
