[nospaces] [attr="class","girardtest2"] [attr="class","text"] Girard gazed up at the looming peak of Mt. Chimney, the razor-sharp stone crowned with a ring of ominous grey clouds. It had been some time since he had found himself somewhat precariously perched on the side of a mountain in the middle of the wilderness, but the aftermath of the near-apocalypse had thrown many into situations they were not necessarily accustomed to. Active volcano or not, BARNABY FINCH had requested his help, and Girard was nothing if not loyal to his longtime friend.[break][break] Besides, Barnaby's mission was highly intriguing. Who would turn down a chance at coming face to face with the spirit of Moltres, legendary firebird? Girard was well aware of what had transpired at Mt. Pyre, and what the implications were. He also knew what it would mean to Barnaby to find the legendary, study it secrets, perhaps resurrect it? If such a thing were even possible. His friend deserved the chance to try.[break][break] The presence of Zev Harcourt was not something Girard had expected, but Barnaby's mission did involve a dangerous trek - who knew what obstacles they would face? Having a Rocket Beast along was probably a good idea. Girard had not had a chance to spend much time with the assassin, but the man's reputation preceded him: reliable and brutally efficient. The pawnbroker was ultimately glad for his aid; Girard knew far more about fighting than his softspoken, bespectacled demeanor let on, but Zev was obviously the expert.[break][break] "Flight, though convenient, may not work in our favor," Girard answered evenly. "After all, the climb itself is likely part of the trial." He paused, realizing he ought to elaborate; what often seemed obvious to him was not always obvious to others. "The legendary Pokémon of our realm rarely find humanity worthy of their attention, let alone their affections. For Rayquaza to have saved the world from destruction was a rare act of mercy indeed. If we are to win over another of the powerful creatures to our side, we must show it that we are capable of traversing its chosen domain, however volatile." He scanned the bleak horizon. "And there will certainly be clues along the way."[break][break] Darcy, Girard's Houndoom, sniffed the air expectantly. "See if you can find us the best route," Girard urged the fiery canine. He'd brought Darcy specifically because of his resistance to the heat of the volcano, as well as his keen tracking senses. The Houndoom growled softly and then began to traverse upwards, paws scraping against rock. Girard followed, curious to see where his Pokémon would take them.
