This mission wasn't like the rest, that much was obvious. Even so, the opportunity wasn't something to pass by. Excitement and tribulations beyond his imagination lie ahead. Stranded somewhere with only his pokemon and survival skills to keep him in one piece. The only problem...

"You again?!" Derek calls over to Mars, who seems to be stalking him all over the region. "You're not some kind of creep that's been following me around, are you?" Their encounters have never suggested as such, but this trip, well...he didn't expected it to be shared with something so familiar attached to it. "Though...I guess being rich means you would have all the free time to spend doing...shit like this, I guess. Though I am more surprised you don't own this whole thing they got here."

Mars is not the sort of man who spent his childhood doing things like going camping with his family. It’s not something that has ever appealed to him, because why sleep in a tent when he could go to a resort or a chalet?
[break][break]
And yet, here he is, on a deserted island.
[break][break]
Why?
[break][break]
Well, because unlike what his unexpected companion seems to believe, Mars may just find himself in desperate need of something that forces him to disconnect and ignore all the stressful aspects of his ever-busy life for a few days. A forced vacation for his own well-being, if you will, since apparently getting stressed can kill him now.
[break][break]
”What makes you think I don’t own this place?” An eyebrow is raised at the ranger’s comment, reaching into his pocket to bring out a Luxury Ball from which he releases a Noivern. ”It’s nice to see you too, Derek, and if you really want to know, my lack of free time is exactly why I’m here.” He smirks, amused and not seeming at all offended by the ranger’s implications.
[break][break]
Why would Mars care for following someone like him, after all?
[break][break]
Still, while unexpected, his presence here could be of use…
[break][break]
Only then does he address his awaiting pokémon: ”Fly over the island. Look for water.”

(S) JONESY ♂ | SNIPER - dive, rain dance, soak, sucker punch, u-turn, water gun

"Uh ohhh, rich big shot here, better watch out!" Derek exclaims obnoxiously, sarcasm oozing from his every pore. "But seriously, you show up at like half the places I go to. It's kinda weird." Finger guns in Mars' direction imply that Derek is also calling him weird. Though this playfulness lives a short life, as the ranger plucks a pokeball to release his Sobble when Mars does the same with his Noivern.

"Jonesy, think you could make me a drink? Thanks." Holding out a special filtered canteen, the Sobble promptly fills it, providing it's trainer clean drinking water until they could find more. "So what do you think is out there waiting for us? It's gotta be something big with lots of teeth, right?" Or so Derek had been hoping, much to the dismay of the Sobble now crawling up on his shoulder to cower at the mere thought.

”Maybe we just have similar taste, or maybe it’s destiny,” he winks, because of course he does, the playfulness of the ranger’s actions being matched before following it all with a light laugh.
[break][break]
If Mars cared more about other people’s opinions (which, let’s be honest, he doesn’t when it comes to most things in life) he would be bothered by Derek’s implication of “weirdness”. But, then again, who is Derek to call him weird when he apparently likes to drink his pokémon’s spit?
[break][break]
About half of Mars’ own pokémon are water types, and he still wouldn’t easily resort to measures like those.
[break][break]
It’s the mention of what might await them that distracts him from those thoughts, the banker watching both the ranger and the terrified Sobble. ”Honestly? No clue. I came here to camp for a few days and disconnect, but since it’s an uninhabited island… Yeah, that sounds about right.” The thought doesn’t bother him much, since they do have their pokémon with them. Food might be a bigger issue than wild predators…
[break][break]
He smirks then. ”What do your ranger senses tell you?”
[break][break]
Is it a joke or an actual question?

(G) BLISSEY ? | ABILITY - egg bomb, gacha MOVES 1-5

"Let's see..." Derek says, placing both index fingers against his temples as if using some sort of psychic ability. "Ah, yes! They're telling me that our chances of survival are better if we ditch you." Our meaning Derek and Jonesy, whereas Mars would be left to do whatever he wanted on his lonesome. A cheesy smile graced his features for a moment before returning to a more serious matter.

"Anyway, I'm gonna look for something to eat." Pacing over towards the brush, Derek is surprised to find a little Tyrunt looking at him. It seemed to have been eavesdropping, but with the ranger's abrupt approach, it seemed to be startled enough to let out a cry.

Which was fine, until another, much louder one followed from somewhere in the distance. "Well, shit! Curious George over here just alerted mommy or daddy." That explained why they weren't letting just anyone out here, and the need to sign a waiver.

Jonesy was quaking in his skin, crying out of fear and unfortunately leading what could only be assumed to be a Tyrantrum right to them. Derek releases a Blissey, which shows visible alarm as the footsteps of the charging Tyrantrum grow closer, thudding more powerful against the ground. "Toss some egg bombs into the forest line."

As the explosive eggs began to form a pile on the ground like a trap, Derek moved to secure his Sobble, clutching it in his arm while observing whatever Mars' actions would be, as the Tyrantrum soon came into sight...

In the grand tradition of Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong does go wrong. He had come here to disconnect and be alone, and yet he had run into DEREK HOFFMAN not long after stepping onto the island. He had wanted to relax, and yet they’re immediately under attack.
[break][break]
A Tyrantrum.
[break][break]
While the ranger’s companion pokémon cowers in fear, the banker just sighs, watching Derek’s quick actions and the way his Blissey tosses EGG BOMBS towards the treeline. A decent plan.
[break][break]
The thing with wild pokémon is that most can be scared away, even the larger and more aggressive ones. They spend every single day of their lives fighting for their survival, and while something like a Tyrantrum has little to fear, it does not actively seek discomfort either.
[break][break]
”You might want to cover your ears.”
[break][break]
The warning is simple, and Mars does not wait before whistling two short notes to which the Noivern flying overhead responds accordingly. From its open maw, a piercing, loud, and oh so painfully powerful BOOMBURST is sang as a shriek, and if the EGG BOMBS hadn’t been enough to cause the wild pokémon hiding in the area to flee deeper into the island, this sure is.
[break][break]
Yet, that’s not all the Noivern does, for the sound is immediately followed by a DRAGON PULSE that strikes the trees from up above. That would hurt, if this really is a Tyrantrum.
