Two unlikely companions had found themselves in the deserts of Mandarin Isle, brought together by chance as they followed the same route across the sands. A blistering day had given way to a bone chilling night, such is the cruelty of the desert, but the pair had a warm fire going. These two, Dante Adams and Isaac Avery sat around their fire. The wind gusted in the night, causing the flames to dance and ripple. Dante’s radio crackled with static in the background. "And Today in the News,”, the anchor began, "Doctors have identified a new disease as the cause of the recent outbreak in the Hoenn region. The origins of the disease are unclear, but doctors are confident that the disease has been contained. Thus far, the symptoms have proven mild and non-fatal. A travel advisory remains in effect." After a brief pause the anchor continues. "In local news; a high ranking team rocket thug has escaped from prison in the Orange Isles and fled into the deserts of Mandarin Isle. A manhunt is ongoing. Police advise caution, the man is considered armed and extremely dangerous." ((Perception from both of ya.)) |

Dante Adams didn't know what powers-that-be had caused the paths of himself and his new travelling companion to cross, but he was very grateful for it. He imagined he would have had a hard time getting through the Mandarin Desert alone with just Eve by his side. Isaac's presence was most welcome and it had certainly sped up the creation of their current camp site and the fire, the latter of which was most welcome now that the night chill was settling in. "Eve, don't wander too far from the fire, okay?" Dante cautioned the eagerly exploring Eevee that was his partner, sitting down to listen to the news of the radio. The twin announcements of the disease and the manhunt served only to make Dante feel very uneasy. The young trainer listened for more information with baited breath, only to roll his eyes in irritation as the announcer switched tact and started gushing about some prize-winning contest star and her Altaria having scored their 100th victory. So much for the main headlines huh? |

Isaac was stretched out near the flames, enjoying the heat it put off. He wasn't used to being out in the open this much, most of his hunting trips being into the woods or plains near where he grew up. Leaving Lolth in her ball to conserve her energy the young hunter looked up at his new companion. The boy looked like he spent most of his time indoors, or at least in the city, so Isaac couldn't just leave him in the desert alone. Besides, another pair of eyes is always useful when you don't know much about where you are. "So, why are you out here anyways? I don't reckon either of us mentioned that" Isaac sits up, lifting the bandanna from over his eyes to push his hair out of his face. A small smile crosses his face as he sees the Eevee bounding around the fire, rare Pokemon like that always fascinate him. |

Dante also gave his partner a slight grin as Eve dashed past him, giving his hand a playful smack as Dante tried patting her on the way past. "Well a few months ago I finished with the Kalos League - that's where I'm from by the way, Kalos - and thought I'd try the Orange League next. I'm also kinda hoping to meet up with my brother in the next town not far from here, assuming we can get through this desert in time. Would be nice to see Vergil and catch up for an evening. He's the one who gave me Eve for my tenth birthday." |

Isaac laughed "Well if you're on a time limit then we might just have to speed up this here trek, can't be havin you miss out on meeting up with family. You tried takin on the whole Kalos league with just that there Eevee? I can't see that goin well no matter how great the partner" |

"Well I had the best of intentions at the time but in hindsight yeah, I rushed into that attempt and got exactly what I deserved for doing so." Dante rubbed the back of his head with his right hand, feeling embarrassed at the recollection of his failure. "I should have trained harder and got some more experience under my belt, but in truth, I prefer interacting with Pokémon more than battling them. I'm hoping I do better in the Orange League where the Gyms are a little less battle dependant, and then maybe I'll learn enough to take on the Kalos League once again." "Really humiliating how we lost too... this trainer had his Pokémon hit Eve with Attr-" Dante was immediately and forcefully cut off from sharing any further details by Eve tackling into his side with an hasty "VEE!", making the Kalosian trainer jump from the impact. "Okay, okay, changing the subject..." Dante placated his partner quickly. |

Isaac started laughing as the small brown Pokemon tackles into her trainer "She seems feisty. If ya hadn't said you were gifted her I would ask where you caught 'er. Eevee are quite rare in the wild ya'know. I'd love to see one in its natural habitat, in fact I reckon I wouldn't even catch it. The kind of person who would hire me to catch a feral one wouldn't know what to do with it. You know what she's gonna evolve into yet?" Isaac continues to watch the Eevee as he pulls out his own ball and debates letting Lolth out to stretch her legs for a bit |

"She's an impish little rascal, but I've adored her since the moment she hatched." Dante scratched Eve behind the ears, causing the Evolution Pokémon to let out a contented "Eie..." before dashing off to look around again. "I've always wanted an Eevee so when Vergil gave her egg to me for my tenth you can imagine how happy I was when it hatched. I'm kind of leaving Eve's evolution down to her, given she's the one who will have to live with it. Don't think Eve's settled on a choice yet but there's no rush." Dante tossed another hunk of wood on the fire, watching it flare up. "So people hire you to catch Pokémon? Don't think I've meant a Pokémon hunter before. Must be an interesting line of work." |

Isaac nodded at the notion of letting Eve decide for herself "I can respect letting her make her own choice, it's something most people take for granted these days. If my partner had more than one path to her she would get the choice too." Sending Lolth out as he says that. The small spider begins to crawl up his arm and onto his head, the face on her rear showing a smile. Shifting a little to account for the new weight he resumes talking "There really aren't many of us Pokemon Hunters these days. It used to be real common before Pokeballs got to be mass produced. I still use the old techniques and make my own though. But the real issue is most of us end up falling in with the wrong crowd. See those criminal types like Team Rocket like hirin' us because we're real good at what we do. Thankfully my pa never fell for any of that and most of the time we get hired on by ranchers who need a pest problem take care of or a lost pokemon to be found." He then stands up and stretches up while looking at the night sky "It's all well and good but I wanna find something NEW. You hear legends of these Mythical Pokemon all the time. Well I wanna see one for myself. Wanna track it to its home, and maybe catch it." He begins to laugh before falling back into a sitting position "Course I'm nowhere near that good. I got sent here to catch SOMETHING but I don't even know what it is" |

As the two, and their attendant pokemon, sit beside their fire telling their life stories, they notice the otherwise calm, quiet night. The silence is broken first by a rustle in the scrub brush behind Isaac, just beyond the campfire's light. Eve's ears perk up and she looks over at it, and Dante notices it as well, however their attentions are quickly drawn to another rustling in a bush behind them. Isaac, preoccupied with the first rustle nearest to him, is oblivious to the second. |
