Dare | Volkner & Flint
Starter for @stxrshock
He trudges through the snow, all smiles and laughs despite what they’ve set out to do. The League wants Flint to investigate Snowpoint Temple as the citizen’s of the city worry about the Legendary that slumbers inside it. There have been reports of something shifting within the temples walls and the news alone merely gets Flint’s blood pumping. He wants to confront what lurks inside, wants to test his powers and show everyone what he’s made of. That’s why, in part, he’s invited Volkner to tag along with him.
It’ll be fine! He reassures with a hearty slap to the back. They can handle anything the Pokemon throws at them. They’re a team and have stopped worse than some slumbering giant. In his mind it will be a cakewalk if Regigigas is awake. He’s trained hard and so has Volkner; the two of them are unstoppable. Now, if only he could just beat the cold.
Flurries of snow whip this way and that, make the path from the city to the temple so much harder to discern. The weather has been bad as of late and the citizens take it for an ill omen more than anything. They sure weren’t kiddin’. He thinks, casting a glance back towards Volkner to see how he was fairing. It hadn’t been snowing this badly when they started out and knowing Volkner he sure wouldn’t be taking it well.
“We’re almost there. Maybe this is the temple’s way of sayin’ it’s happy t’see us!” He jokes, a laugh leaving him with a stream of mist following behind it. He lives for the cold and while he knows Volkner cares little for it it still doesn’t get him down.
“Y’ready for this, Volk?” He comes to ask when he comes to spy the temple through flurries and mist. It’s hard to discern yet stands sentry to the cold that surrounds it. You’re a sight for sore eyes. Already he feels his heart pounding, the thrill of an encounter too good to pass up as the crunch of snow gives way to the hallow clop of a stone structure.
He makes his way up the steps and looks down through the doors. Already he can tell there’s no warmth here, but anything will beat the harsh wind and snow. He reaches into his pocket, fishes out Infernape and releases him from his ball.
“Light the way, buddy!” He grins and through the doors he goes with his partner leading the way.
