[attr=class,bulk]While he's out searching for pokemon, Aedan comes across a camp.[break][break]

At first it's the tracks left by pokemon that lure him in, but soon enough it's the musky scent of a campfire that holds the most sway of Aedan. It couldn't hurt to find its source; it might even behoove him to make sure it wasn't a natural bushfire that might encroach upon the city. As he heads further out of the city, the pungent odor grows.[break][break]

It has been so very long since he's roamed freely that he can't help pursuing its source. Along the way he passes by a couple folks riding on horses coming from the direction of the smoke trail. When he reaches the source, he sees a silver-haired trainer.

[attr=class,bulk][break]Derek is barbecuing a few skewered berries when he notices a rustling over by some brush, catching a glimpse of a ginger haired trainer seemingly spying on him. It had the makings of a horror flick: Derek is both disarmed by their seeming innocence, yet put off by their eerie and unannounced presence.[break][break]

"...Hi there. You can come out now."[break][break]

He rolls one kebab of berries over halfway, grasping at another that could soon be offered to the individual. Now that he was a true ranger, he might as well grow his social circle among Hoenn's youth.

Aedan steps out realizing he was awkwardly staring while the other noticed, his cheeks flushed and rosy as he steps forward meekly. "I smelled the smoke, and I thought maybe it was a forest fire..." He licked his lips as the smell of roasted berries filled his nostrils. He takes a few steps forward, approaching a log adjacent to the campfire.[break][break]

"I'm Aedan, by the way," he said in greeting, hoping to diffuse the awkward tension.[break][break]

His stomach growled, staring at the feast of berry kebabs. "Are those... any good...?"

[attr=class,bulk][break]The boy was certainly an awkward shy type.[break][break]

"Oh... Well, I'm Derek." He wouldn't blame them for showing concern at the signs of a fire, though he wondered whether it was so uncommon for hikers to make camp just outside the city. Turning over a kebab with apricorns and meats, he lifted it and took a bite while the bright-eyed ginger stared on with a hungry look to him. ...Ya just had to go and make me feel guilty.[break][break]

"Why don't you try some?" After sitting down the skewer missing a hunk of meat, Derek grabs for a thermos full of pumpkin spice coffee, taking a swig before offering it to the lad.

[attr=class,bulk]"Really?" He wanted to try the berry ones most, so he quickly filled the empty seating on the log and lifted it from the campfire, taking a bite of a tender oran berry swollen from the eat. The ooze that filled his mouth was savory and sweet. Mmm...[break][break]

"Thank you!" He took another bite of the oran, finishing it off.[break][break]

After chewing on it for a moment, he sets it back down by the fire, taking the thermos in hand and washing down the sweetness with a little pumpkin spice. The flavors didn't mix well, so Aedan handed it off to Derek almost as soon as he'd tried it.[break][break]

"So... why're you camping out here, mister?" The city was warmer, and not very far.[break][break]

And yet there was no denying that it was pretty cozy beside their campfire.

[attr=class,bulk][break]"Having lunch, as you can see. It's useful for me to get used to this."[break][break]

His real reasons were his own, although he could tell the kid enough to satisfy his surely boundless curiosity. "I'm looking for wild pokemon. I heard Psychic-types appear around here." He was taking a brief break before resuming the hunt for unown. While his dulled eyes stare into the starry-eyed youth's, he calls to mind the events that led to him acquiring the mysterious device.[break][break]

"You know what an unown is, right?" Derek takes out the device, flicking through to the Pokerus report and showing it to Aedan. "I'm helping to fill this out for some people." Derek takes another bite out of his kebab.[break][break]

"I should get back to it soon, honestly." He had time to finish lunch, and maybe a prayer that the next one he saw didn't try to kill him like with Stormy.

[attr=class,bulk]"Yeah, they do." So did Normal-types, though he wouldn't want to discourage him.[break][break]

"Yeah, why?" Never had Aedan owned or encountered one personally, but he'd read about them in history class a bit. Most people thought they were useless, and he wasn't exactly their biggest advocate, though he personally thought they seemed neat. The stories surrounding them however... those were just plain creepy.[break][break]

Taking the device from Derek, he flipped through the report for a little while.[break][break]

"Wow... all of that for some unown? I hope ya find one mister..."[break][break]

Seems unlikely though. Leaning forward and returning the device, he felt the warmth of the fire roiling just a foot from his outstretched arm, basking in its warmth.

[break][break]

"How about you? What're you doing out here?" Besides being a weird little kid. "You a trainer or something? Or do you just enjoy the outdoors?" If it were him at that age, Derek would certainly be at the beach. No matter the reason, it'd soon be time for them to say their goodbyes and go their separate ways.

[break][break]

Last thing Derek needed was for an Unown to kill this kid, should he follow.

[attr=class,bulk]"O-oh, well I was kickin' up the dust. I'm not allowed to go far from home, so I check around the city... That's when I saw the smoke o' yer fire, and worried it might be a forest fire." It was a pleasant surprise to find out he'd been wrong.[break][break]

"I am a trainer, though. So was my grandpa, and my da." They had both given it up after a time, but his grandpa still had that twinkle in his eye when a feral pokemon encroached on his herd. It was too bad his father had become disillusioned from a dream shared by most all. Abruptly, Aedan realizes he is imposing on this trainer's privacy, and seeks to excuse himself.[break][break]

Taking the device from Derek, he flipped through the report for a little while.[break][break]

"Thanks for the hospitality mister. I'll get goin' now."[break][break]

Waving at them to dismiss himself, Aedan heads home.
