Stars shine down on the two, a young man no older than twenty and a pokemon not quite a baby, but nowhere near grown either. The pokemon looking at his trainer walking so slightly behind him finds himself unable to get a read on the man. Outwardly he seems peaceful complacent playing the role of a man whose spirit was at peace with those and the world around him. His smile was by no means fake, there were no lies to be told. But at times the black haired man in his strange outfits and hair alike seemed off. His pleasure and joy stemmed from a place internal that almost entirely counteracted his aforementioned outwardly truths, but still didn't void them. In a way the man seems complete to the pokemon, these personalities or traits that clash bind him together into the human, albeit the extremely strange human he was today.
While the pokemon ponders over his trainer the trainer casually glances back his pupils moving to the fighting pokemon wondering exactly what it was thinking, wondered what the pokemon saw in him. Riolu and it's evolutionary counterpart were known worldwide as the Aura pokemon, and so how could the trainer not be even slightly curious about his own aura, as through the woods in silence passing through bushes and various trees on the way to Oldale.
"Where to from here." the trainer ponders to himself the dog eared pokemon following close behind.

"Ahh, I want some of Mah's ravioli right now" a young man said with his head looking down at the rustled leaves. A purple pokemon looked up at this big guy and wondered why he was such a glutton. There wasn't nearly as much food that the baby fighter needed in comparison, though a small treat would have been helpful right now. Alioni punched Erick's knee and start to jog. The sluggish young man shook his grumpy head and vacuumed up some oxygen. "Osu!" he cried out as he started to pick up his legs. Some meters later, the two spotted another pair and decided to keep on their route towards them. When he got within range, he said "Yo!" His voiced boasted as Alioni scanned these people while still running in place.

"Oh?" He tilts his head ever so slightly a man further down the path calling at the two. Riolu seems far more excited than the trainer. Ven was content to ignore the man and continue on, but he didn't seem like the type of guy to really take the ranger's disinterest too well, that and the fact the red haired boy seemed to be jogging toward the other man left Ven with little other options. When the man finally he arrives he rolls his eyes casually, neither a smile nor a frown evident. "Greetings..." Riolu being the pokemon it is, gives a quick bow at the other man and his own fighting type.

When Erick noticed the pokemon next to this dark-haired guy, he couldn't help but feel like it was a fighting type, especially with the way it bowed."Hey, is this guy a fighting type? It looks so cool" a young man said with his eyes to the blue pokemon. His purple pokemon bowed in return and smiled. "Haha, I love this thing" Air laughed and looked back at the trainer. "I'm guessing you are a trainer too? You heading over to Odale?" Alioni scanned the area around them finally stopped jogging when everything seemed to be clear. Erick stopped too and nodded "Erick, nice to meet you."

"He's not a water type, that's certain." The trainer rolls his eyes slightly as the red haired man marvels over the fighting type who seems to be enjoying the attention, the black haired man can't help but chuckle lightly as he continues. "Not entirely, I don't care for gym badges or any of that nonsense. I've become a ranger." He slides a dig tag from underneath his shirt before sliding it back, not caring enough to reach for his badge. He slides a single hand in his pocket as the trainer introduces himself formally, only now does Ven do the same. "Ven." His introduction is brief and he's ready to move on. "That being said, Oldale is the only place this path leads." He begins to move onward on the path wondering if the red haired man would walk with him.

There was something about his comment with his eye rolling that didn;t sit well with Erick, but he let it slide because the Riolu definitely was something. The overall body didn't look much stronger in comparison to Alioni's, but the energy this pokemmon gave off was incredible. When he said that badges and things didn't matter to him, Erick wondered what that could mean. Then he said something about rangers...did someone tell him about those once? Weren't they a bunch of overenthusiastic tree-huggers? Erick was skeptical about the opinions of others back home, so he kept on normally. "Oh, that's nice" he said. He shrugged and kept walking in the same direction since this guy seemed to know where he's going.

The two walked in silence for awhile Ven not caring enough to continue any kind of conversation, and far too focused on carrying out his next move. The man occasionally eyes his riolu who seems to be getting along with the other fighting type, every so often only now deciding to comment on the two, "Birds of a feather it seems." It was only now that Ven thought about challenging the red haired boy to a casual battle. The two pokemon seemed to be of the same level and the town was close enough that the man could spare the two others some time. He also needed his own pokemon stronger if it was to accompany him in this region, After all Lucario were known for the immense strength and specialty powers. Say, my brutish friend care for a quick battle?"

Erick was done a favor with the silence, because his mind went to a place of a wonder about this Odale Town. How were the people there? Was there good food? Good girls? Bad Girls? Or was it just one small town of elderly folk complaining about this generation? Only time would tell, and he was pretty amped. Erick did not even register the comment of Ven's, but he heard battle and immediately responded "Yeah, Alioni would like that." Not to mention this was practice for Erick, who was just starting out with this pokemon of his.

"Just as honest as you look." Ven couldn't help but chuckle at the man's sudden excitement. "Riolu, quick attack twice over." The trainer orders his pokemon on the offensive the Riolu although surprised by the change in motive has no qualms over the battle the small blue pokemon having wanted to fight the opposing fighting type anyway it was in their blood after all and so the blue pokemon rushes forward with blinding speed in an attempt to knock the slightly taller tyrogue out. "He who strikes first wins."

Erick took a second to catch up with what happened, this fucker started so abruptly. Tyrogue gets pushed back with the first connection, then gets knocked back on the second. The pokemon regains its fighting pose and looks at the opponent. The male trainer had to think about this. A moment later, he called out "Alioni, fake out this guy huh?" The Tyrogue responded positevly and went for a quick move of his own. It gets in front of the Riou and attempt to strike his eyes for the fake out. "Follow it up with tackle" without regard, Alioni luged forward at the pokemon in attemts to knock it down.
Sum: Tyrogue is hit twice, uses Fake Out and Tackle. Ability: Guts Moves: Tackle Fake Out Foresight Counter

The strikes connect quickly only for the pink fighting type to recover in time to counter with fake-out. It was here that Ven stopped watching how his own pokemon would respond to the attack, or more particularly the status effect. Riolu unable to do anything for the moment reeled back only for the other fighting type to attack again with a tackle. The raven haired man can't help but smile now having a grasp on his pokemon's ability. "Quick Attack twice over again. Don't let it touch you." The Riolu was different now having recovered from his flinch the pokemon's ability activating, the small blue pokemon was now much faster than it'd been prior moving around like a blur almost charging at the Tyrogue again his speed having increased significantly. The Ranger glances up at his opponent now his smirk more than slightly condescending. "A riolu's ability is usually one of two things. The first is inner focus, which prevents Riolu from flinching at all, the second is something called Steadfast which increases his speed when he's flinched." He finishes eyes focused once again on the battle wondering how the trainer would react now.

Erick watched what transpired between the blue fighting type and hiss own purple fighter. Alioni attacks landed, but it seemed that Fake Out was a mistake. Both of them felt it the second after, when there was some type of change in the Riolu. Sure enough, it increased its movements. However, Erick was paying attention this time. The first attack was too quick for him to follow, but he immediately responded "Get the next one with counter!" Tyrogue managed to stay on his feet, knees bent. Then he sprang but position himself in an attempt that the speed of the Riolu could be used against it while taking the damage himself. Erick than thought about the riskiest thing ever. "Use Fake out right after!"
Summ: Tyrouge hit by both attacks, counter used, then fake out.

Ven finds himself surprised the quick attacks both hit as planned, but the Tyrogue does something unexpected something the trainer couldn't have predicted. The slightly taller fighting type used counter after taking the second quick attack throwing riolu across the ground dealing heavy damage the fighting type. It was a hard hit, but Riolu was prepared to continue on the small blue pokemon still having a fair amount of fight left in him. It's then the red haired man does something illogical, Ven simply smiling at the man. "Finish up quick attack." The man gestures forward casually. Riolu dashing forward once more it's blinding speed intent to ram into tyrogue. Riolu easily dodges the fake-out extremely close attempting to bash itself into the fighting type. "Fake out.... Only works once." and with that the trainer looks away the battle just about over.
His eyes followed what happened next, but there was nothing they could do at this point. Alioni dealed another two of those quick attacks and was on struggling to eventually fall on the ground. And then this cheeky bastard's smile. Erick's short tempered flared through his eyes as he called back the pokemon into its ball. But he was really mad at himself. "I see. So that's how it is..." he was still learning, but losing was something he was never accustomed to. Every game, every match, every competition, he was was always able. But this pokemon battling was more of a mental game. Oh well, can't be helped. "There's a pokemon center this in this town, right?"
[attr="class","idfc3"]Open thread route 101 come chat with this nerd.
[attr="class","idfc4"]
"Every town in the region has a center." The man calls back his pokemon before walking onward. taking this as a sign to part with the red haired trainer. "The facility with a red rooftop only one in the entire town. You wont miss it. He walks onward stopping only momentarily, a soft smile on his face. "Think before you act, and the pokedex you were given has information that would behoove you. Oh and thank you for the match." There are no goodbyes or farewells the man content with a half wave before disappearing further down the path no true destination in mind.
