Caius’ lips chapped, two once lively pink folds reduced to cracking ashen chaps. Sweat rolled down his face and dripped to the harsh, scorching sand of the desert where it would seem to almost evaporate on touch. His white, t-shirt had been taken off and draped around his head to act as protection against the harsh sun but its purpose was all for not as the trainer’s head backed beneath the cloth.
[break][break]

His shorts did a fine job of helping him power through the desert, what sweat had began to accumulate on his legs left them with an amplified sense of touch when it came to the occasional cool breeze. As nice as a breeze on his legs felt, the sand in his shoes would remind him that any comfort he felt would be neutralized by discomfort, bristly grains making his every step uncomfortable. To make matters concerning his chosen desert attire worst his googles were too small for his head and made it feel like his eyes were about to pop out of his skull. Truly desert wear was the most cruelest of mistresses. [break][break]


Discomfort aside, Caius pushed on, spurred on by the ideal that he could be like Cait. A powerful gym leader carrying an entire city on their back. But to be like her he had to conquer his greatest foe: Patience. [break][break]


Sure, he was patient when he caught his Dratini and he was patient when he decided not to make Derek pay for his wrong doings. But nothing could test a man’s patience like sitting in the hot sun looking for Pokemon. The burly trainer challenged himself to look for Pokemon in the vast desert, without the help of his own Pokemon or an assist from things like maps and suitable clothing. No, if he wanted to master PAITENCE he had to withstand all of the harsh elements.
[break][break]

Caius stood atop a sand dune, overlooking the wasteland. The sun was at his back and making him regret he didn’t put on sun screen as his bacon baked in the golden rays. There was already a light reddening, sun burn in its early stages. He needed to find a Pokemon quickly, or so the old Caius would have said! A man wouldn’t let himself be worn down by the threat of a little inflamed, pained skin. A man would welcome the challenge! And this man was going to be taking it very soon if he didn’t get some shade. [break][break]


Woe was the man who needed to hide his body from the weather. Woe also the man ignorant enough to come into the desert without adequate protection.
