Derrick eyed some Geodudes as they walked past him, they glared right back at Derrick but they knew better to fight them after all. His large Coalossal towered over them, and even pokemon knew when they were out matched. Derrick let out a mighty yawn, he wondered if something exciting would happen on the mission or if he would just watch over geodudes making sure they didn't disturb the archaeologist work. Honestly he didn't mind. He needed any money he could get. Derricks gaze turned to the archaeologist's work site. He was slightly curious to know what they discovered, he didn't know much about fossils and what not. Nor did he care very much, but he understood what it felt like to discover something. In a way it was the same feeling he would get whenever he finished a project. Excitement, anxiety, hope all bundled in one package. From the looks of things, he was sure that they wouldn't mind if he took a quick doze. Everything seemed peaceful after all. Besides if something did happen, Coalossal would be sure to wake him. 

Derrick sat down on the dirt floor he was prepared to doze off without care but before he did that.., glancing over at his partner. Coalossal did not seem to happy with Derricks decision as he could feel his partners cold piercing glare. Derrick burst out in laughter. "Hey now! I'm just briefly closing my eyes don't give me such a cold stare!" Derrick said with a big grin and pleading eyes. Coalossal turned his head, still in disagreement. "Aha! You are the greatest partner!" Derrick exclaimed attempting to wrap his arms around the pokemon's large body.

What were vacations for except for exploring new, undiscovered places? Sure, maybe when people made those brochures, they didn't immediately think about archeologist digs as Hoenn's main tourist destinations. However, that was hardly Artie's fault. As far as he was concerned, that was their fault for not advertising properly.

[break][break] And so what if his travel destination had also put up a few, very bold signs that he ought to watch his step and that trespassers would be persecuted? Those were obviously not meant for him. Those were for civilians. You know, commonfolk, who had to follow the rules and regulations of society.

[break][break] Arthur Finnian Vanderbilt was not one of them.

[break][break] "Kinda reminds you of Motostoke, doesn't it, Roo?" he said, half-paying attention to his phone and half to the small bird perched on his shoulder. Rocks crumbled beneath his shoes as he went down a particularly sharp incline. He threw his hands out to balance himself, and then went back to his phone, tap tap tapping away at it. Probably sending a funny text to one of his sisters. Or he was about to when, his foot broke against a foothold, sending him toppling forward. He would have faceplanted, had not for his Rookidee's quick thinking, grabbing on the collar of his jacket and flapping its wings fiercely.

[break][break] The action, while not broking flight exactly, made him hover a bit in the air. His arms and legs dangling, until it hit solid ground. What a relief! Taking a breath, he patted himself dry of the dust, making sure that his loyal sword was still latched at his side, and then looked up, cerise-colored gaze locking with that of @derrick .

[break][break] His face brightened and he waved. "Hey! You must be my tour guide. What gives, I thought you were gonna meet me at the entrance?"

[break][break] The boy's glossy ID-badge was hung in a lanyard around his neck, falling in the center of his chest, in plain sight. It read, quite clearly, Miguel Smirnov, archeologist.

[break][break] Yeah, definitely, he was allowed to be here.

In the end, Derrick wasn't able to doze off. There had been a commotion about some archaeologist misplacing their name tag. Derrick was asked to look for it. He wasn't to keen on doing so, he wasn't some errand boy after all. He was suppose to keep guard over them, but he supposed that even archaeologists could handle a group of geodudes. He wasn't even certain how he would find a name tag in this large evacuation site, did they even expect him to find it? Or was it one of their tricks to make him do something that wasn't evening meaningful. Derrick let out a disappointing sigh, well there was nothing better to do no point in moping over it. He continued walking around the site, glancing around occasionally to see if he would be lucky enough to just find one laying on the ground somewhere. He had no such luck though. A sudden grunt from Coalossal made Derrick gaze go over to the direction of

Derrick saw that the man was hardly watching his step, playing with some sort of gadget. He could basically predict the future, the idiot would fall over. Sure enough, his prediction unfolded as he casually watched on. Derrick was slightly amused as he saw the man's pokemon attempt to slow the fall, and was surprised that it managed to work out. Derrick snickered quietly under his breath and turned the opposite direction, he decided it would be best if he pretended to not see anything. It was also likely that the man was just another archaeologist.

The sudden shout from the man caused Derrick to glance over, he was confused with the nonsense the man was saying. 'Tour guide?' He thought to himself with a small grin. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that this guy was no archaeologist. The way he was dressed and his attitude convinced him. Derrick noticed the name tag as well, and that was when he recalled the name of the archaeologist who lost his ID. Derrick gave a small wave back, "Yo! Sorry the others wanted to go ahead first, must of left you behind huh." He replied as he walked over, Derrick decided he would play along. It would be somewhat amusing after all "So Miguel was it? I hear yall have been digging up some real mysterious fossils. Care to tell me about it?"

To be honest, @derrick looked more like a Hot Topic reject with that blazing blue hair than tour guide. Or maybe he was the lead singer in a garage band in his mother's basement? But hey, Artie wasn't here to judge. Yeah, he was definitely the opposite of judgemental.

[break][break] The boy's face broke into a wide smile as the other responded to his greeting, nodding empathetically. Good to see that someone understood his terrible plight. Though, honestly, Artie wasn't sure whether they had left him, or he just hadn't been invited. The website had been too difficult to navigate (maybe because he wasn't supposed to navigate it..?) so he had just absolved to forgo it all together. Things usually worked out in his favor one way or the other, anyway, as was evident from the easy way that it had been to swipe the ID on the table at the entrance of the site.

[break][break] "Yeah, maybe," he said with a careless shrug. "I've never been great with time, you know how it is, right?" He said with a wink, before pausing at the other's words. He blinked with confusion, and then looked down at the ID badge around his neck. Oh yeah, right. "Oh, this?" he said, tugging at the glossy badge. "This isn't mine."

[break][break] Ignoring the other's question about fossils - since it didn't pertain to him - Artie decided to walk around the other man, and instead oogle at some of the ground types that were still making their way through the site. There were a few Timburr and Conkledurr mingling about, as well as Geodude and Machamp. It didn't seem like they were any short of muscle. But where were all the archeologists and fossils the dude was talking about? Honestly, it was all a bit boring.

[break][break] There was, however, something of interest.

[break][break] "Hey, dude," Artie said, pointing at two suspicious looking characters that were huddled over what appeared to be a collection of bright gems and pocketing them. "Those your friends?"

[break][break] Probably not. Though, Artie figured he'd ask Mr. Mulletman anyway.

Derrick was shocked, he did not expect to be so truthful. Derrick after all was quite used to people blatantly lying to his face, so when Arthur told the truth without hesitation it made Derrick smile brightly. "Oh! Is that so, well an archaeologist was losing his mind because misplaced his own. I think that you must of found it." Derrick explained, feeling guilty how he lied about the tourists earlier. He wanted to explain himself, but got interrupted. He assumed that Arthur was just talking about the archaeologists but figured looking wouldn't hurt anyway. 

He was shocked when he saw two punks blatantly stuffing their pockets full with gems. His physical expression revealed how shocked he was. After being stunned for a moment he clutched his other pokeball, preparing to let out Daze if necessary. Derrick completely forgot about Arthur for the moment and ran towards the two punks. "Hey you two!! I wouldn't if I were you!" Derrick shouted sprinting as fast as possible. Once he approached them he huffed out a few more words. "Hey... Return those.. Or It won't be pretty.." Derrick finger pointed at their stuffed pockets, Coalossal followed his trainer, the two of them towering over the two thieves. The pair looked rather intimidating, a nine foot goliath with coals on his head, and a tall buff blue haired trainer who was mistaken for a punk all the time.

Oh, an archeologist had lost it? Artie looked down at the badge, rubbing his thumb against the glossy sheen. The face that stared back at him was a blond, blue-eyed guy, not unlike him, but unlike him, he looked like a total dweeb. He had this shy, almost awkward grin and definitely looked like the kind of guy that would misplace things. Or at least, that was Artie's opinion of him. It was unfortunate for him - this Miguel - but the whole situation was fortunate for Artie.

[break][break] He looked back at @derrick as he explained the situation, and found himself nodding in sympathy. "Yeah, that's unfortunate, " he said, though his voice sounded more distracted than it did sympathetic. Though, it did make sense - was why the ID had been so easy to swipe, since the guy was the type of person to lose things.

[break][break] Perhaps the normal thing to do would have been to relinquish the tag once realizing the situation at large. However, of course, Artie was many things but normal was probably not one of them. Distracted, he stepped around the blue-haired man and instead found his attention on the two other individuals in the nearby area, two individuals who somehow looked even more suspicious than a blaze blue punk rock kid, and a thief.

[break][break]Also, to be clear, Artie wasn't the whole steal-things-cause-it-was-fun thief. He was a in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time thief.

[break][break] At least, today he was.

[break][break] The blond watched as @derrick ran past him to yell at the two actual thieves, glowering at them and demanding that they empty their pockets.

[break][break] 'Oh shit, bro,' one of them said.

[break][break] 'Bro, let's fucking git!'

[break][break] Before Derrick and his rather imposing pokemon could so much as speak another word, the two intruders scrambled to their feet and sprinted. However, they weren't sprinting exactly. The gravel beneath their feet rose as two Dugtrio aided them in their flight, leading them further down the excavation site and down an incline. "Huh," Artie found himself saying, shocked into stunned silence. What the heck? He'd never seen anything like that before. A laugh bubbled to his lips immediately, and his fingers clutched at his chest, grabbing at his shirt fabric. "Hahaha! That's hilarious!"

[break][break] He appeared suddenly behind Derrick and his pokemon, slapping the other on the shoulder. "Your friends are hilarious, man." With his other hand, he grabbed the pokeball at his waist and released Badar. The Sealeo appeared loud greeting, slapping his fins against the ground. Artie pointed in the direction the two thugs had disappeared to. "Badar, help us catch up with them!"

[break][break] Surely enough, the ice-type opened his maw and released a Blizzard aimed at the ground, just parallel to where the two thugs were riding down the incline on their ground types. It created a perfect icy slope, and as a prince of Circhester, Artie was perfect apt at skiing. He turned to his companion, @derrick , and grinned cheekily at him. "We gotta beat 'em to the bottom, right?"

Derrick stared at the two thieves. His eyes were fierce and intense, No way was he going to let the thieves get away! He imagined how this would play out. The two of them would cower under him and obey him, leaving behind the goods the snatched up! Then, they would bow, grovel at his feet and beg for forgiveness. That was the scenario Derrick had in mind, however... As he was lost in his thoughts gloating over an imaginary scenario. The two thieves had mad a dash for their lives. His vein had popped out in frustration, "Dont think you can get away so easily!" He shouted towards them, only to be caught of guard with the appearance of a dugtrio. He blinked in utter shock , watching on as the two speedily escaped through the incline. 

"Shoot Gotta Chase Those Punks!" Derrick said out loud, he glanced over towards and nodded in agreement. "Yeah Lets go!" He pumped his arm into the air to display his fire like spirit. Although he was bothered at how Arthur referred to the thieves as his friends. "Listen those punks aren't my friends" He wanted to explain that they were thieves but was interrupted with Arthurs pokemon's sudden appearance. 

In the blink of an eye, an icy road appeared. Derrick saw this as the perfect chance to catch up to them. Grinning back he nodded, "You are are a genui--" 
His words were cut off, as he accidentally slipped on the new formed icy road. Derrick slid down the road on his belly side, it certainly was not a fun experience as he could be heard screaming wildly as he kept sliding.

As Derrick neared towards the end of the path, he came to the realization he would crash into the nearby rock. Crashing head first the impact, had left a shock but no major injuries. A stream of blood trickled from his forehead, and with a groan he managed to get up. Dusting off dust that got onto his clothes, he gave Arthur a side glance "Good plan brother! looks like we made it here first, but I have no idea where the hell the rats scurried off to."

Maybe the garageband singer was smarter than he looked. He seemed to immediately understand Artie's intentions, and even praised him for his quick thinking, even pumping his arm in the air to show off his fire-like spirit.

[break][break] Or maybe not.

[break][break] In a split second, the taller man disappeared from Artie's line of sight - he slipped on the newly created icy road, immediately sliding down the slope belly-first. The blond was stunned -- but only momentarily. "C'mon Badar, let's go!" Grinning, he hopped on the Sealeo and slid down the icy road right after @derrick , but no doubt, more graceful than the other.

[break][break] After all, he was a prince. It was only to be expected.

[break][break] Derrick's screams mingled with Artie's laughter in beautiful cacophony, and it was only a second before the two reached the bottom of the slope. The blond hopped off his Sealeo agiley, just in time to see the other catch up from his rather ceremonious crash into a rock. What was the phrase - idiots couldn't get hurt? Or was it that they couldn't get sick? Either way, it seemed that Derrick didn't seem to be injured, which was a good sign. It would have been inconvenient if he was. Not to mention pretty gross.

[break][break] Once again, Artie was praised, and he smiled brightly at it, but the words also had him tapping his chin in thought as he looked around. It was true - where had those thieving rats gone? There was a sudden thunk and Artie looked up, just in time to see the two thieves crash into the very same rock, the jewels spilling from their pockets.

[break][break] They on the other hand didn't appear to have escaped unscathed.

[break][break] "I think," Artie said, with a bit of a laugh. "I found them."

Derrick had rubbed rubbed at his head, the injury wasn't to bad but it certainly left a mark. A fairly sized bump had made derrick's forehead it's new home, as he touched it with his hand, there was a sharp pain. "GOD FLIPPIN!!!!!! FUUUUU" Derrick managed to stop himself from spouting out some very explicit words. He glanced at Arthur, the guy had a wide grin on his face. Derrick raised an eyebrow, "Don't laugh you rude ass hole!" He snapped at him in a jokingly manner. Honestly he saw the reason as to why the man was laughing, after what just had happened if he was in Arthur's shoes, he would probably be rolling in laughter. A sudden thunk made the man flinch, and he glanced over towards the sound only to spot out the two thieves him and Arthur had been chasing. 
[break][break]
He was shocked to learn that they too, crashed into the rock. Although it seemed like they were out of commission, he began to wonder how the heck this happened to the two of them. Looking around, he spotted the dugtrio nearby. The pokemon seemed to be rather content with the outcome, and then vanished underground once again. Derrick assumed that the two did something to anger the pokemon, or it was pure luck that they got away the first time. 
[break][break]
Either way, the situation was perfect. Derrick laughed along with Arthur, "Kind of feel bad for them, but thieves get what they deserve!" ]Remembering that the archaeologists had gaven Derrick hand cuffs, in the case where he caught some thieves. The man quickly pulled them out, whistling as he cuffed the two thieves and picked up the stolen jewels. 
[break][break]
"That Certainly was something" He glanced towards Arthur, curious to see what he would do next.

He wasn't laughing at him. At least, not mostly. Though even if he said it, it wasn't like @derrick would have understood — then again, maybe he would. So Artie decided to tell him.

[break][break] "I wasn't laughing at you," he quipped. "I was laughing with you." The fact that the blue-haired man had not - actually - been laughing was negligible. Or at least, it was to Artie.

[break][break] Either way, there was a distraction in the form of the two thugs that drew both of their attention, and of course, @derrick was quick to jump to the scene of the crime. He headed over to the two thugs, who were groaning from the effort of their crash. As it turned out, they were not as durable as Mr. Hot Topic over here, which was a good thing. Artie watched with a bit of appreciation as he cuffed the thieves and picked up the stolen jewels.

[break][break] Curiously, the blond looked over to see the shiny gems that Derrick had in his grip and with permission, of course, reached over to roll one into his palm. The gleam reflected in his ice-blue eyes, before he turned them back over to the other. While nice, they weren't of particular interest to him — the family safe had more than their fair share of similar ones.

[break][break] Instead, he commented, "You know your way around those handcuffs." There was a bit of a twinkle in his eye, as he stepped to @derrick . One of his shoes crunched against one of the thugs' palms that were laid against the floor, an unpleasant crunch following. Again, unfortunate, but had nothing to do with Artie. He smiled blithely. "Could you teach me?"

He had hoped that Arthur would have been able to take the joke since Derrick wasn't angry at Arthur for laughing. If the roles were reversed he would also most likely heckle with the man. "Oh okay! Sorry for misunderstanding. Yeah that was some slip." He said with a laugh. Glancing towards Arthurs badar Derrick assumed that the two would often ski together they seemed pretty smooth when coming down. When Arthur grabbed a shiny gem from the ground he didn't show to much concern. Without the help of him and his pokemon the two thieves would likely have gotten away. Derrick himself was curious about them and inspected them at a closer angle. For him he's never seen gems up close before, but man were they real sparkly.

[break]
When he mentioned the handcuffs Derrick didn't think that he was very good with them. He just had some practice due to being in the league. "I actually probably wouldn't able to. Just know my way around them due to my work. Although getting in practice would help." He didn't want to disappoint him or anything, but he figured it would be best to just tell the truth.

[break] Derrick himself didn't really express care when Arthur had stepped over the palms of thieves twice. Although he would probably say something if he did do it three times. Deciding to change the topic he settled on asking Arthur about his skiing skills. "You're quite good at skiing, hobby?"

Had Artie meant his words? Had he meant the suggestive tone that unwittingly had gotten attached to them? Probably not. More likely, they were an impulse, like nearly everything that Artie tended to do, and he hadn't thought too quickly about it.

[break][break] It was a good thing, then, that his blue-haired companion didn't seem to understand the innuendo either, the words flying straight over his head. "Oh okay," he said, though his words didn't sound quite disappointed. In all actuality, Artie had absolutely no interest in entertaining the thoughts of someone who might be practiced with handcuffs. As far as he was concerned, that seemed to be the act of subordinates. "You just seemed like you knew. Maybe you're just good with your hands?" A laugh escaped him.

[break][break] One of the grunts gave a small groan as Artie stepped off his hand and around him, rocks crumbling beneath his Louis Vuitton shoes. His hands twisted behind his own back. "Oh? Skiing? Yeah," he said, reaching around his pocket to return Badar to his pokeball in a flash of light. Better to return the seal back to his pokeball, just in case he got into more trouble. Just before, the Sealeo had been bothering some Geodude who'd wandered a bit too close. "You get to do a lot of that in Circhester." His eyes twinkled as he turned back to look at @derrick. "You ever been?"

Well tonight had been a number of misunderstandings. Derrick found it to be slightly funny, knowing how idiotic he can be - he always caused a number of misunderstandings. Thankfully it seemed that Arthur didn't seem to bothered, and Derrick had always found himself to be moving on from such things quickly. Seeing that there was no point in getting caught up in such things. 
[break][break]
He was surprised, he didn't see Arthur as one who looked closely to details, he did take a slip from an incline when they first met after all.. Derrick nodded taking a glance at his own hands, he never really noticed that they seemed to be worn down. Perhaps his line of work took more effort then he believed it did. "That's right! I work with Machines. I have to use my hands pretty frequently." Derrick said pridefully, he did love working on machines even if he wasn't the best at what he did. 

[break][break]

Thinking of details, Derrick never noticed but Arthur seemed to be pretty well off. Giving a glance towards the high quality shoes he wore. Having to never see such shoes Derrick was rather impressed. He figured that most people wouldn't wear expensive things in work zones, especially when it came to shoes. Scratching at his head upon hearing the name Circhester, Derrick was certain that it had been in Galar. He wasn't exactly where it was because his geography was poor and he never really left Motostoke when he lived in Galar but since he mentioned that skiing was pretty popular, he figured it was somewhere in the northern regions. "No, but I am from Galar. I've lived in Motostoke most of my life, recently came to Hoenn." Upon saying that Derrick forgot if he had introduced himself to Arthur yet, and due to his faulty memory he also forgot Arthur's true name - if he had even told him.
"Introduction is a little late, but I'm Derrick. Rick if it's to much of a mouthful." Derrick told Arthur with a grin, "I have a bad memory, did you ever give me your name..?" He asked with a chuckle his cheeks slightly blushing. It didn't help that the chaos escalated so quickly, it made Derrick even worse at memorizing such things.

Apparently, Artie's joke had not been entirely off base. His eyes were drawn to the other's hands, as the blue-haired man began to talk about how he worked with machines.

[break][break] The blond's nose scrunched up slightly. He could never do such rough work, personally. Not that, of course, he was against it. It was just something that didn't really interest him. It seemed all too messy, and just extremely, not fun. Though, he was glad for subjects like @derrick here that he did work with them. Someone had to, and it certainly wasn't going to be him.

[break][break] "Funny," he quipped. "I would've never guessed."

[break][break] Still, he thought the guy would've been better suited to be the lead singer in a garage band.

[break][break] The conversation carried on, and Artie - as usually - was completely oblivious to the way that he stood out at the work site. As the other ground pokemon and workers milled about, it was only the blond who seemed to be wearing a clean dress-shirt and expensive shoes. Of course, this was not a fact that Artie paid attention to, since it was just normal to him.

[break][break] "You're from Galar?" The prince blinked, and if there was at all a moment of fear or hesitation in his eyes that the other might actually know him, it was brief. It was quickly stamped out as the other introduced himself and Artie grinned. "It's Artie. Or Finn, that's my middle name. Nice to meet you, Derrick."

[break][break] A pause, and he added. "You know, you're cute when you blush."

[break][break] Then a wink.

[break][break] Then, Artie's gaze traveled back towards the incline they had fallen down and then he heaved a big, dramatic sigh. "It's one thing going down, but another thing coming up. Wish there was a lift that could take you right up."

[break][break] He paused, and then his head turned back to @derrick. There was something thoughtful in his gaze. "Unless you want to carry me up?"

To Derrick, Arthurs reaction was pretty normal. Most people didn't take him seriously when he told them of his occupation, and some even laughed at him. Though he honestly didn't give much care about their opinions. He loved what he did after all he would be an idiot if some snickers from strangers made him stop what he loved doing. "Right, it's a little unfitting huh?" Derrick said light heartedly.
[break][break]
Derrick tilted his head slightly confused, he didn't think that what he said was that surprising. "That's right." He responded back not entirely sure why Arthur suddenly seemed hesitant, also sensing a brief panic within the man. He nodded at the man's introduction "Pleasure meeting you, Finn." He said with a big goofy grin. The name slightly rang a bell in Derrick's mind, he felt like he heard it somewhere before.. and giving Arthur a more thorough look, in some ways he looked familiar. After a moment, he shook away the thought. Thinking that he was overthinking things.
[break][break]
At Arthur's wink, Derrick felt even more flustered. His cheeks getting redder then they previously were. Laughing he gave Arthur a firm pat. "Stop that, I get easily flattered." He told Arthur with a laugh. Blinking at his overdrawn sigh, Derrick glanced towards the incline the two came from. To Derrick it really wouldn't be an effort to climb back up. Though a lift may be a good idea, working in a place like this could be exhausting.
[break][break]
Derrick blinked a couple times at Arthurs comment. Not knowing if he was serious or not, he then erupted into laughter, giving him a fury of pats. "Don't be ridiculous! You can do it just fine. " Derrick may have been willing if Arthur had injured himself, but the guy didn't have so much of a scratch. He was capable of doing it by himself.
