  His breathing came in ragged gasps and sucked in the crisp air. The cold, cave air encouraged warmer clothes but Volkner felt sweat starting to form down his back and would pull at his black shirt to relieve himself of the sticking fabric. Rocky terrains and steep slopes made Volkner regret not working out for the last year or five, his muscles burned and slowed the more he tried to push. Mt. Silver proved its notorious reputation hours ago, and he had a feeling it'll only get harder the further he goes.

  Even so, he never felt more alive.

  Sharp blue eyes pinpoints the sound of a Parasect among the chipped rocks and, with a flick of his wrist, instructs Luxray into stealth mode, who stalked his prey with controlled, light steps. The insect pokemon had a second to react before the strong jaws of a blinding Electric Fang all it saw. The attack would've been a one-hit KO.

  A booming bark distracted Luxray long enough for the Parasect to scuttle away and the annoyed electric pokemon whirled around to challenge the rude intruder.

  ϟ "Luxray," ϟ Volkner warns. In the partial darkness of the cave, illuminated by Luxray's natural static glow, he saw the intimidating shape of a Houndoom. There was no reason Flint would be here, of course, and for it to be wild was too far-fetched but what did he know of Mt.Silver's native wild pokemon.

  There was one sure way to be sure. He feels for an empty pokeball within his jacket and keeps an eye out for a trainer, perhaps trailing behind their pokemon.

Silence.

  His mouth forms a tight line before swiftly pulling out the pokeball, ready to throw it when the sound of footsteps approaching gives him pause. He notices Luxray's fur bristling and fights to make out the human form in the darkness.

  ϟ "...who's there." ϟ He offers, voice quiet but challenging.
