Dmitriy didn't stop running until he was far from his home town, his drunken father, and his past in general. No, this was going to start new. He wouldn't come back. He would take this path wherever it led him. Bane was clasped around his neck, his tail trailing along behind them to avoid catching his trainer on fire. Dmitriy slowed, but forced himself to not look back to see how far they'd gotten. He pushed images of his father looking for him that night away. He wouldn't return, no matter what happened. His father would have to learn to stop drinking, or he would die. It was simple as that. Dmitriy had driven to the store for food when they ran out of food. If it was up to his father they would both starve. He wondered if his dad would notice this walk had taken much longer than it should have. He wondered if his old man would try to look for him, but then forget what he was doing as he headed towards the door, and fill up his thoughts with another bottle of beer. He shook his head, his charmander letting out a little yawn, not being bothered by the inside nagging of his trainer. "Come on. We'll stop running here. I.. I think we're supposed to look for pokemon on our way to other places, or something." Dmitriy told him, "So pay attention." He didn't know what he was doing, but it didn't matter. To his knowledge, there was no guide to becoming a pokemon trainer. It was all just a matter of style and training. His charmander was his first pokemon and already he wa feeling a close bond to the miniature fire lizard. He hadn't returned Bane to his pokeball since he recieved him.

The desert air was cooling off, it was getting late after all. The sun started to descend. Not far from where Dmitriy had started to slow, was a Magby - happily torching a Berry Bush that looked like it had been burned several times over. "By~" the little red Pokemon said, clapping as the wood turned to a glowing orange. "Mag, by."

Dmitriy and Bane both saw the pokemon at the same time, exchanging glances. Dmitriy shrugged, nodding his head at the pokemon in a guesture that quietly said, "Go talk to it". The charmander nodded once, turning his back on the houndour morph and walking over to the magby, head held high. When he got over to it, he puffed his chest out, opened his mouth to say something, then had no idea what he was supposed to say. Was he supposed to challenge it? Was he supposed to befriend it? So, he sat there, confused look on his face and chest puffed out, looming over the other pokemon.

"By?" the red Pokemon blinked, feeling the shadow of the Charmander fall across her form. She hopped back a few paces, frozen between confusion and fear. ~Wha-what...Are you...Doing?~ she whispered, looking around for some reason the Charmander might have to come over here. 'Oh, Arceus, he wasn't coming over to talk to me was he?' now the Magby looked terrified and moved one more step away. 'What a weirdo'

The small charmander let the air out of his chest slowly, feeling awkward. <Um.. Hi.> He blurted out, stupidly. He glanced back at Dmitriy who was laughing like an idiot, leaning up against a tree to watch. "GO GET'M TIGER" He yelled, laughter bubbling out of him. Bane reddened, glancing back at the magby with a look of complete embarrassment.

The Magby took another step back, blinking at the Charmander. ~...Hi.~ she said it flatly, hoping he would go away or (by some blessing of Celebi) say something interesting. She did cut a glare at the Morph that was laughing, thinking he was laughing at her. 'Rude...'

"Uh. What'r you doin'?" he asked, guesturing towards the bush, "showing it who's boss, or just practicing for a battle or something?" He asked, trying to start a conversation, or get a smile out or something that would make the conversation a little less awkward.

The Magby snorted, ~Practicing my aim. And setting something on fire.~ she replied, quickly, while crossing her arms. ~Why?~ she asked, her tone filled with accusation. Like he had some sinister reason for asking why she would want to set a bush on fire. 'Who doesn't like to set bushes in fire?' she thought to herself, giving the Charmander an odd look.

"Oh. I can do that too." he said, thinking she was trying to show off or something. Then, he realized stupidly that she probably already knew that he could light things on fire. After all, he was a fire pokemon. Dmitriy got board with their conversation and was busily throwing rocks at a berry growing on a bush, hoping to make it fall. His aim, unfortunately, wasn't that good and he kept missing it by a foot or so.

~Oh, wow.~ the Magby remarked, her tone sarcastic. She gave him a sideways look, like she was wondering what he was up to. There was no logical reason for the Charmander to be talking to her. None at all. One of the rocks Dmitriy threw landed on the head of a Cranidos, who looked over at the Houndour-Morph in surprise. "Dos!" he waved his arms, trying to get the Trainer's attention. He liked to break rocks, maybe he'd throw more?

Bane's tail dropped, sensing her sarcasm. Finally he got annoyed and glowered at her. <Can't you tell when someone's trying to be nice to you?> He snapped, <Jeeze, all I wanted was a conversation and you have to act all high and mighty and act like I'm some idiot. Well fine then, have fun with your bush.> With that he started walking off, taking extra effort to mash his feet into the ground every step, kicking up dirt as he went.
Dmitriy glanced at the strange pokemon, waving his arms. He blinked, not quite understanding. <Yes?> He asked, staring.

The Magby felt much more at ease without the Charmander around, and did just what she was doing before she was interrupted, began firing off Embers at the bush - watching with delight as it lit up once more.
~Throw more!~ he called, bouncing some more, pointing to the rock that had rolled not far from him. The little fossil Pokemon beamed, showing his amount of hostility.

The charmander came upon his trainer as soon as Dmitriy threw a rock at the pokemon. Not having heard the pokemon's request, the small fire pokemon was mortified. <You just threw a rock at that pokemon! Don't tell me you didn't see it!> <But it asked me to..> Dmitriy said, glancing over at Bane. <It.. asked you to?> <Yeah.> The look Dmitriy gave his pokemon was that of complete surprise, as if requesting having a rock thrown at you was a normal thing to do.

The Cranidos, prepared this time, leapt to meet the rock in the air - whooping with joy as it broke apart against his thick skull. He trotted over to the boy and his lizard. ~Thank pal. Nice arm ya got.~ he called jovially, bouncing from on foot to the next - eyes shining. ~Really gets me energized!~ he stated, grinning wildly at the two.

The charmander stared at the cranidos, clearly wondering what the pokemon was eating. Normal pokemon did not request rocks thrown at them. <No problem!> Dmitriy answered, resting his elbows on his knees, sitting cross-legged in the dirt. Obviously, in his tone and look, he didn't find any problem with the request, <Can you break anything you want with your head?> Bane shook his head, wondering if he could find a normal, level-headed pokemon that wouldn't be strange or mean. Probably not.
((xD Definitely probably not if Kaichu is going to be modding me. Normal pokemon? Psh, right. xD))
