Aaron had moved to the opposite side of Mt. Pyre. He was partially ashamed at his actions and words. Well, his parting actions and words. He never meant to start a last argument and only wanted to give context to his actions. Evidently taken the wrong way by Andy. And maybe even give Hideo a bad impression of him, and give Andy an even worse one. He'd be lying if he said hadn't sulked about it. To take his mind off of it, he decided to give his Scizor a chance to show what they got. His Gengar had been put through their paces, it was Scizor's turn. He also had his Lampent with him, though he didn't think there was anywhere around here safe for his fire-type to be put through their paces. Aside from them, Aaron had his trusty Trevenant on him, his Shuppet, Magnemite, and Honedge. The latter three he's bonded quite well with, but haven't trained that intensely. Even if they did learn some moves that most wouldn't learn this early yet.

Mt. Pyre was a huge cemetery, with a healthy Pokemon population, mostly of the ghost and psychic variety. He had hoped to do some hunting here. Maybe another time. Scizor went through the motions and commands, taking down one Pokemon after another. If any escaped, Aaron did have his steel/bug type give chase. To an extent, just to see its speed. And it wasn't bad at all. He still let them go, of course. But the best way to really test a Pokemon was with another trainer. And unfortunately, no one goes to the mountain to battle trainers. They go to mourn or pay respects. But a fight was a fight, and sometimes showing just how outmatched you were, even a wild Pokemon, was enough.

Aaron didn't have his camp or other standard stuff with him, he'd left them in a tree not far from there. When Ace and Scizor was taking a short break, they heard rustling. Out came none other than Andy. With a sturdy branch instead of his cane. Without a word, Aaron got up and started to leave, Scizor slightly confused, but following their trainer.

Andy didn't bother going after him, causing Aaron to give a small sigh of relief. Stupid coincidences. Scizor was easily the quietest of his bunch. Even the other newer additions to his team was a bit more animated/voiced their concerns. Best not dwell on why Andy was out this far away from his camp, with a fair few little ones of his own. He did hear the boy's voice though. Did the guy's Pokemon speed off somewhere? Well, not that it was any of his concern. Until the Mimikyu and Sableye got in front of him, forcing the boy to stop. Raising an eyebrow, he looked back to see if he can find Andy or his other partners. Scizor's eyes narrowed and flexed his claws, opening and closing them, threateningly.

But he didn't do anything more. "Relax. Andy and I may not get along to say the least, but so far we haven't actually tried to fight each other. If he really wanted one with us, he'd be very direct about it. And considering his yelling, I think these guys came of their own accord." Scizor nodded back at his trainer, then started to try to talk to the two in front of them. Trying to figure out why they stopped them. Aaron just stood back and see how this played out. It was unusual for them to come up to him. Usually, a trainer's attitude towards another rubbed off on their Pokemon. Key word was usually.

He'd wait for Andy, and see what he wanted. Assuming the other boy wanted anything.

Aaron waited patiently. With the way the guy's leg was, he was sure Andy was having trouble pursuing. Sure enough, out from the bushes came Andy, who then asked them what they were doing. Pumpkaboo hovered around his Scizor, then went to its trainer, leafy arms waving furiously. It was pretty clear that he wasn't the only one confused about their desires. The blonde contemplated sending out Trevenant to find out what they wanted. But this was kind of amusing in a way. Clearly the fellow ghost-type trainer was out to train his own little ones. But...was it really worth it? Well, Andy gave the command to stop bothering him.

"Well, I'm gonna continue on. I still need to test Scizor some more." He started to walk off. Only for his Pokemon to stop him. Raising a thin blonde eyebrow, the boy simply recalled his metal bug. Then started to walk. While all of his Pokemon did have their own unique personalities, they always listened to him. Newer additions still needed to be tamed, but generally still did the same. A little talking to was needed it seemed. That, and he didn't want to do or say something inadvertently cause a confrontation. Andy seemed pretty content in leaving him be at the moment as well.

Once again, one of Andy's Pokemon stood in his way, attempting to charm him with Baby-Doll Eyes. Aaron snorted even as Andy huffed and exclaimed that he didn't know what was wrong with them. The blonde simply nodded. He believed Andy on this. After all, if he really wanted a fight, he would have attacked by now. "I believe you. If you wanted a fight, you would have attacked by now. Something's bothering them." And there weren't necessarily a lot of somethings that could bother a ghost-type. What, he didn't know exactly aside from a bigger, badder Ghost. Just as Andy's nose scrunched cutely, Aaron spoke again. "What's wro-" He didn't even finish his question when he smelled it.

A familiar putrid smell of rot and death. "Death." Well, okay then, that would also be something that bothered most things. Aaron knew it as well, but for a vastly different reason...actually, part of why they moved to Hoenn in the first place, way back when he was six. Taking a few steps forward, he eyed Andy. "Want to find out or should we get a groundskeeper first?" Aaron wanted to check it out before calling anyone. It could be nothing, though the chances of that was extremely small.

"Fair point." And he didn't even bring Skarmary either. Andy didn't bring his own flying Pokemon either. The blonde took out his Trevenant. Instead of flexing and acting like he was hot shit, his tree was abnormally silent and still. Walking ahead of him and past Andy. Aaron jogged a little to catch up. His tree was unusually serious. No surprises there. There was a reason his first Pokemon was a Phantump. He could handle a dead body or two...hopefully, even after all this time.

Andy asked him a question as the smell got worse. Aaron didn't bother trying to dull the smell. No matter what they did, it was going to permeate their clothes anyways. Still, he kept behind the other boy, but never more than a few steps away. Even as his tree was a few steps ahead of both of them. "Yes. Human." Was all he said. He doubted Andy wanted the full story, but if he did, he'd hear about it. Aaron was still contemplating if he would tell him if the hot-tempered asked when his Trevenant stopped. They had to be close then...

Andy didn't say anything. Just hobbled along. When they did reach the area, they found pieces. A rotting leg with little bits of tainted muscle, a ribcage with some black, puss ridden organs barely visible in the dirt. They were all chopped up. Andy gagged. Strange, he would have thought the other boy would have a stronger stomach. Looking at his tree, he spoke. "Like old times, huh Trev. 'Cept this one is much more decomposed..." Trevanent, back then a Phantump, had led him, his mom, his mom's Arcanine, his friend's parents, and Search and Rescue personal to a body...his friend. Back in Olivine, and he was a mere six years old. But the memory was burned into him, as was the smell. The little ghost then led them to a cabin, his friend's kidnapper. Needless to say, said kidnapper was put in jail for a very long time. Then they moved, the Phantump coming with them.

The rest is history. Looking further, he tried to see if there was more. It didn't look like it, so that was certainly one bit of good news, but this was still bad enough. Maybe the family of this soul would find some closure. Pulling out his phone, he saw that he had no service. "Naturally." He muttered under his breath, though his proximity to Andy probably would still let the boy hear him. No Skarmory, no service to call anyone...just like a freaking horror movie. Looking his current partner, Aaron asked a simple question. "So, what should we do?" At the least, they should leave...maybe find somewhere with service to call it in...

Andy had a point. But Aaron also had a solution. "I still have my Magnemite and Shuppet with me. If they hear a specific tone from my whistle, they'll attack the sky. Trevenant here can also get us close enough to see the attacks. I can leave both of them here. And/or my Lampent as well...shadow ball notwithstanding, the clearing is enough for its fire attacks to not burn anything." The blonde also looked at Andy. No cane, just a makeshift walking stick. Considering how sensitive he was about it, Aaron half wondered if he should ask. He decided to risk it, for better or worse. "What about you, are you still doing okay?"

It wouldn't be good to push it. Even if the leg wouldn't ever be the same, there was no sense in making it worse than what it could be. Aaron still thought maybe the guy shouldn't be so far away from a hospital. But what did he know? His Trevenant didn't talk at all, but did give Andy's Pokemon a disapproving stare. This was far too close to home for the tree. Taking out his whistle, Aaron put it around his neck, and released his Shuppet and Magnemite. Both of whom glared at Andy. "Cool it, both of you. We have bigger issues. You two stay here, and when you hear the tone, let us know where you are. But stay here and keep track of the body. Got it?" The two Pokemon went to attention like good little soldiers. And nodded in understanding what their trainer wanted of them.

Despite the fact that they tended to wander and play, when things get serious, they do listen and listen well. Looking back at Andy, Aaron spoke. "Ready?"
