a test of iron wills
[He's tired. He ended up quite out of his range today while training, and he's paying for it now. The walk home is strenuous at best, and both of his on-hand Pokemon are worn as well.]
[You'll have to excuse him while he takes a break here along the route. Just enough to get his energy back.]
[If you can't see where this is going yet, shame on you.]
[Anyway. It's not particularly long before he's starting to doze in the shade here, head lolling just to the side.]
[The situation just wasn't in his favor - it's nice weather, he's beat, it's quiet aside from the chirps of the local Starly, and he's always been kind of at-home in more rugged environments.]
[It explains Iron Island, at least.]
[Regardless, leaving a friend to sleep in what's obviously open territory might not be the best idea. Go wake him up, chickie.]
