Alexander sat cross legged on Ichirou's belly. The massive Snorlax grumbled. Not in protest or hunger. Just in general. Alexander looked over the river, thinking. It was easy to relax in the outskirts of the small village, but eventually, he'd have to introduce himself to someone in this new region. Alexander rose and sank to the rhythm of Ichirou's breathing. He looked down to the sleeping Snorlax and sighed. Rarely was Ichirou happy, as much as Alexander tried. Alexander joked that Ichirou was a grumpy old man. Either way, Alexander had learned to deal with Ichirou's anger. In a way, it was interesting to Alexander. Almost all of the research he had read on Snorlax said Ichirou's behavior was an abnormality. Of his three pokemon, Ichirou was always itching for a fight. Alexander wished he had known Ichirou when he was younger. To find out what had brought about his puzzling personality. Instead, he had found him destroying a village, and had no choice but to capture him. The pair had come to an understanding, thankfully. "Now where are the other two?" Alexander asked out loud. Since he had set up shop on the river bank, he had let Veronika and Leonidas wander off. To stretch their legs, as it were. Veroika utterly refused to use her pokeball unless she was bested in battle, and Leonidas was a ball of energy. He was sure they'd show up soon. Most likely right when he was ready to move on. |

Nean's next stop was a place called Agate Village. Its appearance was marked by a huge tree. With forests all around and a waterfall nearby, it looked like a pretty nice place to spend time away from civilization. Seemed counterproductive to put a gym here. But from what he had gathered, there was an additional rule to this gym. It looked like the gym required challengers in pairs. He came across a huge Pokemon on the way. That in itself was unusual enough. There was more to that though. A person was on that Pokemon, and what's more, it was someone Nean had seen before. It took him a moment to recall he man's face, but a glance at his neck made Nean remember immediately. Xero perked up in his arms excitedly. He had helped out making that. Yes, he recalled now. "So you somehow got here faster than I did," Nean mused out loud. But then again, he had made a few stops here and there. And participated in a contest. And went all the way back to Gateon. It was only natural he supposed. Still, his team had almost doubled in size since he last saw Alexander. He'd been pretty busy. |

"What in the world are doing here Nean?" Alexander asked, his voice utterly perplexed. "I last saw you in Unova. Still staying out of trouble, I hope." "I mostly go where the wind blows, and it blew to this region." Alexander explained. Ichirou grumbled again. Thankfully the Snorlax had fallen asleep. Alexander slipped off of the pokemon and stretched. He looked over the young man and smiled. "Hey Xero!" Alexander beamed. "How have you been little guy?" Alexander enjoyed watching the little guy fuss about in Nean's arms. Alexander tiled his head as he heard struggling flapping. Alexander looked around Ichirou and saw Leonidas at the edge of the water, try to lift something out of the water. "Hey! Let it go. It's too big for you!" Alexander called out to his young Rufflet. Alexander shook his head. Eventually, the little one would learn. |

"Following my dreams and stuff," Nean shrugged, robe flowing behind him as he walked. He came to a stop next to the large Pokemon unflinchingly, though Xero wasn't entirely comfortable with the thought of getting flattened and jumped off, moving to the right. He chirped a reply with a sweet melody, dispersing the Grass Whistle by spreading it out thinly. Reaching around his cloak of leaves, he turned the left side outwards to reveal a green ribbon pinned to it with a gold center. "I've been busy," Nean said dully and reached inside his robe. Lights streamed into the air, falling onto the ground as they took shape. Kiana, Aria, Cherry and Isabella appeared, and seconds later they were all over the place. Kiana was riding Cherry around the river, Aria was floating happily on the river and Isabella, average in size was floating around. Nean named them calmly as they went all over the place. "Just a little bit busy," Nean repeated. Well, he hadn't really done much. Though some stuff had happened recently, he had arrived here pretty late. Not that he could have helped it though. "I'll be challenging the gyms. It's been interesting so far." |

"I see you've added to your team roster." Alexander said, leaning against Ichirou. Leonidas finally gave up on trying to lift whatever he had latched on to in the river and landed on Ichirou's belly. "I happened to pick up an egg in Unova and it hatched on the way here. His name is Leonidas and he's the bravest bird there is." As if on cue, Leonidas puffed out his chest. Alexander shook his head. The little bird got into more trouble then he was worth some times. "You know I'm not a trainer per say. Not any more at least." Alexander said. "So where did you pick up the Lapras? They are still very rare." Alexander poked Isabella. He had read about them, but had rarely seen them in person. He pulled out a note pad and began taking notes and sketching the pokemon. Leonidas flapped his wings and landed on Alexander's head watching him work. Alexander circled around the Pumpkaboo drawing from all angles. "Any unique quirks I would be interested in knowing?" Alexander reached down and scratched Xero's head. |

"Well, it's more like the Pokemon add themselves to my team..." Nean shrugged. He pointed as he spoke, sure that Alexander couldn't have caught it all the first time. "I got two eggs. One hatched into Kiana. The other hatched into Isabella." She kept making hooting noises as she floated around. She fancied herself to be scary, but the poke was enough to send her spiraling around until she regained balance. "Lapras I won in a Contest. I caught Aria shortly before coming to Orre as an Azurill." He brushed hair out his face as he talked. "That one wants to be a casanova, that one thinks she's the bane of children's existence, that one is chill and that one is like a Bouffalant in a china shop." "Didn't say you had to challenge the gym with me," Nean replied mildly. Xero was crooning, head swaying to unheard music as he leaned into Alexander's hand. "Won't say no though." |

"Don't worry." Alexander whispered conspiratorially to Isabella. "You'll be the scariest thing around soon enough." Ichirou grunted in his sleep, drawing Alexander's gaze. He sighed and scratched his chin. Alexander was too old to start a career in training. Heck, he only kept his small team of misfits around because they would cause too much trouble if they got loose. Alexander's eyes darted around, as if expecting Veronika to appear and take a swipe at him. It wasn't that his pokemon were disobedient, more that they were very willful and tended to do as they pleased and Alexander rarely found a problem with that. If he couldn't practiced what he preached, he wouldn't have been a very good person. Leonidas took off and flew over the water, squawking as his wings pumped, he then dived at the water and tried to pull a Magikarp out of the water, which flopped around in Leonidas' talons. As hard as he tried, Leonidas couldn't get the Magikarp more then a few inches out of the water and released it and let out a frustrated noise. Alexander chuckled to himself. "Well, if you won a Lapras, you must be doing quite well in your career as a coordinator." Alexander said while his patted his coat down for Ichirou's pokeball. "So what is this region like? If I'm being honest, I sort of stumbled my way here. I was tracking a herd of Tauros and ended up here." A near by bush rustled as Veronika stepped out of it, and instantly the Scizor was on alert. It was almost as if she expected her master had fallen into some kind of trap, then she relaxed when she noticed Nean. Obviously she remembered him. Leonidas let out a loud call, then dive bombed at Veronika, who quickly dodged the feathered bullet. Leonidas flew out of Veronika's reach before she could counter attack, but she buzzed her wings in warning. "Leonidas, it doesn't seem like she's in the mood to play at the moment." Alexander said as he finally found Ichirou's pokeball. The sleeping giant disappeared, seeming to give everyone more room to move. Alexander walked over to Veronika and inspected her. |

Isabella hooted again. For some reason she had taken to sounding like owls recently. She tried scaring a boy the other day but ended up getting chased by a hoard of children rushing to pet her. Not a very encouraging experience for the newborn. Nean gestured her over. "Oh yeah. She can do this." He tapped her on the head and she opened her eyes wider. Light shone out of the twin holes in her pumpkin body, illuminating the ground. It was a handy trick that Nean found out about as soon as Isabella hatched, and though a command would've sufficed, decided to teach her this signal as an additional precaution. "Emergency," he said and the light from Isabella's body started flashing. As Cherry passed the tiny bird, Kiana and he peered curiously at the struggling fish. After it disappeared back under the surface, Aria came drifting by and flicked water at the Budew, swimming quickly out of the Budew's reach. Xero jumped with an excited cry, turning out his cloak to show off his ribbon again. Though he still changed his cloak when the leaves weren't fresh anymore, he always made sure he switched the ribbon over to the new cloak. After all, he hadn't gotten it easily and he definitely didn't want to lose it. "Only won one so far," Nean shrugged. "I've not actually explored this place much. Just two towns and the tournament location. There's something like a Team here, banging on about something I don't really know. Tangled with them at the Port actually." He glanced at the Scizor when it appeared. Bug and Steel sure was a unique typing. And he thought Crustles were tough. |

Alexander took notes as Isabella's warning signal flashed. It was a neat trick. He slid his notebook away and held out a pokeball, and Leonidas landed on his wrist and pecked the pokeball. His dissolved and retired to his ball. Alexander was hardly listening to Nean until Veronika nudged him. Alexander silently replayed Nean's last few sentences back from memory. Alexander's brow furrowed and he sighed. "Seems like there are always trouble makers. Hopefully they didn't cause you too many problems." Alexander said as he leaned down to inspect Xero's cape made of leaves. Alexander rubbed the cape between his fingers. His eyes were glazed over. "The flames of youth burn so brightly. They always have something to prove. Some plan." Alexander said wistfully. "Nine times out of ten, innocents end up getting hurt, and it doesn't fix or change anything." Alexander almost spat out the final sentence, his tone of voice clipped and his words choked out of him. Alexander released Xero's cape and rose up to his impressive height. "Pointless rebellion." Alexander whispered, dusting himself off. |

Nean still recalled the incident quite vividly. He crossed his arms, mildly amused. "Oh, we did alright I think. They were attacking the egg adoption center at the Port. Unfortunately we lacked the firepower to push through the guard. I think they'll remember us though.." Xero pouted, frowning at the ground. It was true that he wasn't very strong in his current form though. What he needed to overcome to evolve..he didn't entirely understand it himself, but hopefully the time would come soon. Wanting to evolve and get stronger had to be the first step to actually evolve, right? Well, he definitely wanted to evolve. The tailor waved a hand dismissively. "In the end, they're just a bunch of crackpots. The only problem is, yes, the potential casualties..but it's just another reason for me to continue my journey, get stronger. Win next time." |

"I see. I see." Alexander said, leaning down to Xero and picked him up. Alexander looked at him and smiled. "Tell you what. When you evolve, Veronika will help you learn your new form." Alexander hugged Xero to his chest, and set him back down. "You'll get better in time." Alexander said to Nean. "There's some boring speech about all this, but I'm not a big guy on speeches, but you love your pokemon and they love you. In the end, that's all that matters. If they are happy and you are happy, there is nothing better." Alexander looked over at Veronika, who let out a sigh. Alexander had just signed her up to mentor a much younger pokemon. Veronika didn't really mind. It would give her something to do and help her stretch her muscles. Something she so rarely did these days. She missed battling, but she also realized that Alexander either didn't have the interest or heart for it anymore. Alexander was her partner, and under her protection. "Did I ever tell you how I caught Ichriou, Nean?" Alexander asked. He was looking to change the subject from a group of hooligans. |

Xero wiggled excitedly, looking forward it. He had not seen Veronika in action much, but he knew the steel-clad bug was more of a battler than he was at least. Although he was not a battler at heart, like Nean he was willing to try and fight for his own sake and for others. He had found out by now that Shyn's Quilava had been a casualty of that little skirmish at the port. A number of I wonders had ran through his mind since then. What if he had been stronger, or faster, or even smarter to get around the guard somehow? Nean had been thinking about that too, but for now he resolved to simply do what he could. "I've been wondering if my goals are a little too simple," Nean said after a moment of silence. "I don't know. But if I were to expand them, well..I think I'll wait until I achieve one before having another." He glanced at Alexander's clothes, recalling Ichirou to be the sleeping Pokemon. "The Snortblast?" Nean guessed, unable to recall what exactly it was called. Everyone gathered around at the prospect of a story. "No, I believe you haven't." |
