[center][b][color=orange][h2]Azerus Jr[/h2][/color][/b] Feyhollow outskirts[/center] 2 [hider=Accidental firsts] AJ sat slumped against the stump of a once large tree amongst a small clearing, not too far away from a moss covered cave entrance. He had just recently arrived at Feyhallow town and his disdain and frustration was still evident on his face. He huffed and puffed as he fidgeted about trying to get comfy amongst the nothingness of the forests edge. Azerus was accustomed to, and fond of the busy hustle and bustle of large vibrant cities. While there was a lot of people out there, no one ever cared to look at you. He could hide in plain site and pass 100 people without really getting seen. Also there was always somewhere to go or something to do... Here, in the middle of nowhere, there seemed to be nothing. Even before now Azerus wasn't that fond of nature, all the dirt and bugs and what not. But here he was, 1000 miles away from home. For some reason this is where his journey would begin. At that moment he was stricken with realisation that his frustrations were not so much aimed at his surroundings but more so at his father and that he had succumb to his will. Azerus took a deep breath and relaxed his fingers, they had curled into tight balls forming fists at his side. Finally finding comfort against the stump he rests his dirty pokeball and pokedex above it as he slings his guitar around to his lap. He forgets about his father, he forgets about the things he left behind, he forgets where he is, of his pain and hunger. Most of all he forgets all his pent up frustration and anger. He finds peace amongst the frets of his guitar as his fingers race up and down the metallic strings. ------- AJ's guitar was an electric one so without an amp or electricity he wasn't making much noise, yet still the dull thrumming of practise seemed to be enough to grab the attention of a creature in the nearby cave. Lost in his own world and with his back turned to the entrance, the little Pokemon nearly shuffled all the way up to the stump that Azerus sat against without any notice. [i][color=orange]"Ahh get away from me!"[/color][/i] AJ yelps, nearly dropping his guitar as he is startled by the sudden presence of a strange 1ft walking rock. It was mostly a shade of dark blue with little clay coloured feet and an antenna(?). But it was the large hexagonal hole in the middle that freaked him out the most. [i][color=orange]"G' g, get away from me."[/color][/i] he stammers in a harsh whisper as he prods at the strange rock Pokemon, keeping it at bay with the neck of his guitar. But still despite AJ's best gentle efforts the walking stone kept walking on at him like a wound up mechanised toy. A brief glimmer of a smile flashed across Azerus's face as the little rock slowly and relentlessly kept coming. It didn't last long as he quickly slipped back into an exhausted self loathing and grew frustrated with the Pokemon. His voice grew slightly louder as he accented certain words, speaking in a stern manor. [i][color=orange]"What do you want you little wirdo, I'm not even a trainer, now go away!"[/color][/i] He snaps giving it a harsh little nudge that sends it rolling onto its back. [indent]...It just rolled back up and continued walking towards him.[/indent] Face getting red, voice nearly a shout! [i][color=orange]"I Said Just [b]GO AWAY![/b]" Even if I was a trainer I wouldn't want you anyway..." [/color][/i] Finally the hard rock Pokemon stopped moving and suddenly Azerus felt very guilty about his words and looked away. His mind fumbled with the justification of his actions but alas he found nothing. [indent][i][color=orange]"...Its just better this way"[/color][/i][/indent] Still looking away he turns his back to the strange little Pokemon and gets up off the floor, he reaches out to push himself up off the stump when he feels the the cold touch of the items he left there. It wasn't until a second after he accidentally brushed into them that he realised what happened and everything fell into slow motion.

[i][color=orange]"That was close."[/color][/i] he mumbles to himself as he bends down to examin his now dirty pokedex. [indent][b][h3][Color=red]~*BSHHHHOOOOOOOWM*~[/color][/h3][/b][/indent] A flash of red light flickered in company to the noise and as Azerus quickly stood up and his eyes darted around, the strange Pokemon was gone. All that remained was his wobbling pokeball. [center][b][i]'[color=6ecff6]DING[/color]!'[/i][/b][/center] [/hider] [hr] Azerus Jr Catches a Rogenroller [@balthazar007]
