Dmitri and Usa were picking up speed as they traveled closer towards Fallarbor Town, but he was surprised when they came into view of Mt. Chimney miles ahead. Woah. It was more massive than he would've guessed, and it easily dwarfed the largest of pokemon. Is this even safe? There were many settlements along the way, so he pushed forward wary but hopeful. He ahead at Usa, who seemed more familiar with the soot raining from the sky.
"Does it ever stop spewing out this white stuff?" It was actually more gray, but certain debris was lighter and some looked almost awry. It was like razor thin clay shavings falling from the sky, except they were almost weightless and scattered into dust on collision with the grass. The entire expanse of meadow before them was covered in it.
Trudging forward, his eager pace kicked up the particles and surrounded him in thick dust. He stifled a cough before his nose tickled. *Achoo*Ugh... How long do we plan on staying? Usa seemed to look at him with a small smile, perhaps even laughing at him. I wonder if... we can make soot angels. Suddenly the ash didn't seem so bad.
It reminded him of making snow angels back home, and he impulsively lay on the ground, creating one of his own. "Usa, lay beside me." He demonstrated the proper way to form a snow angel, just in case he'd never created one himself.
We can get back to this thread soon enough, but I figured getting our progression out of the way for Fallarbor might not be the worst idea ever since we made that last thread. It can wait for a bit though!<3
Usa was ecstatic. Another day, another milestone on his journey. Even better, it was along side Dmitri. Somewhere along the line, he had gotten so attached to him that he couldn't imagine travelling without him.
White stuff... Usa chuckled. Have you never seen ashes before, he said teasingly. This isn't your everyday white stuff that's being spewed.
He held his hands out to let the ash gather in his palms. A smile slowly grew on his face as his eyes sparkled with wonderment. This was the closest he had ever gotten to something like snow. And, he was fully prepared to savor every moment of it.
I suppose this is what snow is like... His voice was soft with a hint of curiosity. He wanted Dmitri to talk more about snow and his homeland. This was how he chose to bring up the subject. But, his little hint at conversation seemed to fly right over Dmitri's head.
At the site of Dmitri making snow angels(?), he chuckled shyly. His cheeks turned a soft hue of pink as he shook his head to refuse Dmitri's offer. I doubt it would be as adorable if I did it, he said with a faint smile. He then crouched down and rested his chin in the palms of his hands.

"I used to make them all the time back home. 'Course, sometimes the snow would pile a tad too high," He laughed, resting his head back down and watching the ash bury him in soot. The soot angel's coming along just fine... Though his clothes were rather dusted by now, strewn with cinder-y debris.
He wondered if he was being a bit childish for Usa.
Sitting up, he casually examined the soot angel, though it was a mess seeing as the ashes didn't mold to his form quit in the same fashion as snow. It looked more like it'd just collapsed from where it had been resting, and a sloppy outline was carved from this. "When it got that deep, I'd build tunnels with the ranch Swinub and Piloswine. One year, they had to dig me out before I could catch cold." He remembered being lost, uncertain of his sense of direction after minutes blazed past him. Dmitri loved getting lost in the moment.
Kind of like right now, he'd been ignoring Usa until just then. "You said you came from near here, right? I keep checking my map and Forretree City isn't too far from Fallarbor Town. Aren't you happy to be close to home...?" Dmitri hadn't ever thought to inquire further directly with Usa, but now he was quite genuinely curious. He held his breath. Should I have kept my mouth shut?
LAIKA OF GANGNAM STYLE
Usa Keji D': just watch, eh? u r 2 privy to my goals now.</3 oh well<3~
NOTES (o.O) what goals? *is honestly clueless* Then again, I'm kind of a knuckle head like that...
They had talked before about Dmitri's childhood. But, Usa couldn't get enough of the small twinkle that Dmitri's eyes had whenever the topic came up. It gave him al warm and happy feeling.
His soft smile slowly grew into a wide grin as he eased back to plop his butt into the ash covered grass. He pulled his legs in and wrapped his arms around them, resting his chin on his knees as he listened to Dmitri speak. Snow tunnels, huh? The closest thing I've ever done to that is probably a sand castle...
His eyes grew wider at the mention of ranch Swinub and Piloswine. Ah, you grew up on a ranch... The thought of a little Dmitri riding on a Piloswine made him smile from ear to ear. But, a curious expression soon took the place of his smile. Oh, I haven't told him much about my childhood, have I?
He extending his legs out in front of him to make himself more comfortable. He then tucked his hands between his legs as he leaned forward to catch Dmitri's gaze. True, I was born not too far from here, in Forretree City. But, I moved away from there when I was about 5. I spent most of my recent years in a town called Pacifidlog...Not too far off from Slateport. Though, with the tides, it's probably easier to get there from Sootopolis.
Anticipating that Dmitri might ask why they moved from Forretree, he quickly tried to create a distraction. He wung his legs around and positioned himself on his hands and knees. Crawling towards Dmitri slowly before dropping himself ontop of him, he begged cutely for a battle...

"... How could I say no to that adorable face?" Dmitri would've rather stayed there, lying still with Usa playfully crawling atop him, pretending to not have heard him. He won't talk with me about it... Maybe it was a personal matter he was hoping to escape. Perhaps he ought to drop the case immediately.
He wanted to ease Usa's concerns, but he wouldn't let him. Maybe I can get two birds with one stone here... He scrambled up, bracing his arms and pushing himself upright. He tried to keep a mild embrace with Usa, under the guise of helping him stand. He's so selfless, adorable and friendly.~
Dmitri wanted to become like him, a little more friendly and a little more selfless. He was reaching for a pokemon when he decided on Salem.
"If I win, I want you to come clean with me about your time back in Forretree." He hoped it wasn't asking too much of Usa; their relationship would have to be a two-way street, and if Dmitri was telling stories, gosh darnit, Usa was going to tell some stories too. Even if it was a tear jerker.
Still, a small part of him winced, speculating if he'd gone too far. I hope he understands how I feel about it... Maybe that was the problem; did Usa truly understand how Dmitri felt about him? Maybe he needed to get through to Usa in some way.
But how?

A number of things ran through Usa's mind, but the most prominent was, "Am I really that obvious?" He stood silent, for a moment, staring at Dmitri with widened eyes and eyebrows raised. "How did he know that there was more to the story?" he thought as his gaze dropped to the gray speckled earth. "I suppose I really should come clean. But, what is keeping be back?"
What was it that made him so hesitant to share his past with the man he supposedly loved had feelings for? Was it the fear of being vulnerable around someone other than his brother? Or, maybe it was that being completely open with Dmitri would solidify something he hadn't come to grips with yet - that they were in a relationship.
"They were in a relationship." The thought echoed in his mind, erasing all other thoughts.
"Dmitri and I are a couple." The realization left him with a faint smile and softly blushed cheeks.
He raised his gaze from the ground to meet Dmitri's eyes. As he did, he tucked a few loose strands of hair, behind his right ear. A faint smile still abiding, he nodded his head in agreement with Dmitri's terms as he muttered: "Okay."
The first Pokemon he called out was Dani. Recognizing Dmitri from before, the tiny bat flashed a smile as she awaited Usa's command.

Dmitri stared intently at Usa, trying to understand what he was thinking. Usa looked almost baffled, like some errant thought struck him and absolved all other thought, forcing him to contemplate this one revelation. I want to stand beside you, Usa...
But first he would have to learn how to stand properly. "Alright Salem, start this off with Fury Swipes!" The feline came crashing for Dani, working itself across the distance with swift feline grace before pushing off the ground with its powerful rear muscles, scratching madly at Dani.
"Now use Screech!" Just before Salem crashed down to the ground after his jump, he screeched at Dani in an attempt to lower her guard. That must smart. Since bats could hear very well, especially loud noises are known to disrupt them terribly. Even Dmitri needed to clamp his ears sometimes.
Salem used Fury Swipes! Salem used Screech!

NOTES Hey fel, can you include a dice roll for fury swipes?
I rolled two, using an online dice roller, so I based the damage off that.
The incoming fury swipes signalled the beginning of the battle. Usa shook his head twice to quiet the thoughts that clouded his mind. It was game time, and he didn't want any of the sappy stuff interfering with his winning streak against Dmitri.
The gentle expression he had just a few moments before, quickly changed into a look of determination - the usual expression he gave whenever he was battling.
The attacks hit Dani like a tone of bricks, forcing her out of the air and to the ground. "Use Roost, Dani," Usa yelled. The attack seemed to do a lot of damage, and Usa did not want her going down so quickly. But, there was no time to rest. The meowth was already on the move, using its next attack. "Dodge..." was all Usa could mutter. The sharp pitched sound quickly assaulted his eardrums, causing him to cover his ears in discomfort. This was quite the opposite for Dani. Just the word "dodge" was all she needed to set off into the air, up and above the range of the loud attack. Lucky for Usa, sound was the tiny bat's fourtee. So, she knew just how to move out of the range of it.
As soon as the sound stopped, Usa quickly tried to compose himself. "Use Supersonic!" The poison-type complied, sending out a loud pitched sound that rivalled the one used by her opponent.
