A small tilt of his head the only thing keeping it from flying off as he charged through the snowy woods, where the white capped trees zoomed by. His ghastly not far behind; giving chase like that of a rampaging bull with only the thought of getting payback filling his enraged mind and the laughter of his trainer mocking him, though it was simply the aussie enjoying the chase. If his pokemon wouldn't listen or acknowledge him, then he would make it happen even if it wasn't friendly. He had dealt with stubborn pokes like this one and learn through experience that sometimes getting the pokemon mad or hate him was a good step to getting the pokemon's attention. From there, he planned to work with that animosity and in time turn into friendship, the only thing he had to be careful of was to not push or rush it. '[color=darkorchid] What's the mateh gazzo?! cold gettin ya down?![/color]'Calling out over his shoulder to spurn the ghastly on, thinking this could be a fun way to train his poke so it was killing two birds with one stone. Hearing the trainer's voice which only delivered further insults only agitated the steaming gas ball even more and began spiraling at his fastest. At the moment, he couldn't see Ghastly as he turned around a tree; intending to keep running, but the sudden appearance of another person made him skid to a stop, nearly making him slip forward from the slippery ice covered snow. Regaining his balance and standing up, his breath a bit heavy as he looked ahead at the rotund coated person, who, if he couldn't tell, seemed to purposefully block his way.'[color=darkorchid] H'ang on? what's a bloke like ya do- [/color]' The sudden whoosh of Ghastly dashing through his head; knocking his hat off in the process cut him short. Coughing with stinging eyes with a rub of his head, his blurred vision returning to reveal ghastly giving him a wide mocking smirk. The angry researcher all but forgotten and his angry prattling unheard as Derrick was too busy focusing his attention of Ghastly.'[color=darkorchid] OI! don't go thinkin that hit of yers be fair! If this sodding bloke d'nt pop round the corner..![/color]' The ghastly's smug grew with each word he spoke.'[color=deeppink]Ghats gatsly gats gats (the whinings of a poor sport belittles one lowly as you)[/color]'The floating gas actively laughed in his face as Derrick was the one fuming now. This argument between a floating ghost and a foreigner must of seemed odd to the shamed researcher who had been forgotten completely. It took the freezing bite of the powder snow hitting both of them to be snapped out of it.'[color=darkorchid] Crikey that's a right frizz![/color]' His face and Ghastly were both covered in a layer of snow that left the two of them shivering. Shaking off the powder; remembering the cloaked person and looked over at the man who was glaring back, though had no idea what he did to anger the guy.'[color=darkorchid] Hey..gazzo..does this bloke famil?[/color]'Struggling on where he might of met the man.'[color=deeppink] gats ghast ly gats ghastly(like it matters..lets just leave this howling oaf and go)[/color]' Clearly the ghastly wanted nothing to do with this stranger, nor any interest. That was when Derrick caught sight of the swinub that caused him to cry out and jump like an excited little kid.'[color=darkorchid] GAZZO! Will ya get a look at this?! Our first new poke encounter![/color] 'Dropping the backpack down before running to the little brown ball of fur and slid to a crouch, nearly falling face first into the snow from sheer excitement; studying the pokemon with wonder.'[color=darkorchid] Yer a cute lil fuzzer ya are.[/color] 'Once again, the researcher had been all but forgotten due to Derrick being absolutely elated to see his first new poke of a new region. Reaching a hand down to carefully and gently pet the small creature to let out an amazed ooh.'[color=darkorchid] Will ya take a look at this fuzzy beaut? Its fur soft, yet thick...like so to protect aga' the harsh cold we guessin[/color]' Leaning in closer as he study and admired the swinub closely then gently poked its big snout.'[color=darkorchid] Ya see the size of its snout? See how it has little stubs legs? Probs uses this big nose to sniff out any hidden food and digs em out.[/color]'Absorbed with his commentary of trying to understand the swinub when he remembered being told to scan with the pokedex and quickly rummaged in his pocket to procure it.'[color=darkorchid] Now..how's this doo hickey work?[/color] 'Fiddling with the buttons while muttering under his breath before a red light scanned over the swinub... [color=darkturquoise] Swinub: The pig pokemon -Swinub roots for food by rubbing its snout against the ground. Its favorite food is a mushroom that grows under the cover of dead grass. This Pokémon occasionally roots out hot springs. [/color] Impressed with how the pokedex read out the info on swinub, which confirmed his guesses to be true. His excitement was palpable as he petted the swinub, having no idea the man had just issued him a challenge.
