[ Lyra and Steven ] ~ Mount Mortar
Steven Stone was always one for detours.
He wasn't even in Johto for a business meeting anyway and whatnot, so he wandered free around the region. It was colder than his tastes, but he'd deal with it. Unfortunately, he had forgotten the clothes he was going to bring for digging. This is why he found himself on a mountain the locals called Mount Mortar, garbed in a suit and, well, digging. Past a waterfall and a passageway was where the mineral-loving man found himself, tools on hand, a small travel bag slung on a single shoulder and focused entirely on his task.
An Aggron sat beside him, feeling quite accomplished. He felt it had smelled something good, a good stone or something, and waited for his trainer to find it.
It was, well, quite quiet in the cavern, as well as slightly cold, but Steven didn't mind very much. He was in his element, the cave kept a regular temperature and the wild Pokémon wisely chose to stay out of the retired Champion's way. Chipping away at the wall, very, very carefully.
This continued, of course, until he heard footsteps approaching. Pausing, he glanced about, idly wondering who, exactly, could be here at this time.
