Ethan sat down across from Averi, his head turned towards his back looking out into the distance as the vehicle moved forward then looked back at her with a grin [color=f7941d][b]"I can picture it now...Exclusive! Explorers Birkenhall and Rosewood's amazing discovery." [/b] [/color] He extended his hands forward a bit making a picture frame with his pointer fingers and thumbs, Averi in center frame, as he put on a stereotypical reporter voice for the last line. He let out a small laugh dropping his hands to his sides.

His body leaned forward as his elbows rested on the tops of his knees, looking at the map as he processed Averi's words. A pondering look filled his face as he took the map [color=f7941d][b]"I see, it appears we ma-"[/b][/color] He had barely gotten a grip on the map when the whole truck went airborne for a moment, cutting him off. 

Kai voiced his exact thoughts, what had just happened? It sounded like they hit a hole or large rock but after looking around he didn't see anything of the sort. As Averi announced the cause of the problem, Ethan moved over to check it out as well [color=f7941d][b]"It doesn't look like a accident to me. This is strange..."[/b][/color] No quicker did he say this than three individuals dressed in the same black uniform, with a strange symbol on their chest, moved from their hidden position.

The one in front spoke out as the got close to the truck [color=ed1c24][b]"Are you two Ethan Rosewood and Averi Birkenhall?"[/b][/color] His rough voice asked, though it sounded like a command. Ethan hand hovered over Shelgon's pokeball as he replied [color=f7941d][b]"U-um what if we are?"[/b][/color] His snarky tone was perhaps unnecessary but he had a bad feeling about this. The grunt looked at the other two behind him briefly before turning back to Ethan and Averi [color=ed1c24][b]"You're going to come with us. We can't have you interfering!"[/b][/color]

Before Ethan could react, the three took pokeballs from their belt and released them. A Houndour, Drowsey, and Skorupi appeared before them ready to attack. Ethan took a hold of Shelgon's pokeball and, pressing the button, tossed it forward releasing the tough Dragon-type. Shelgon then postured defensively between the hostile Pokemon and his trainer, as he waited for Averi to join in [color=f7941d][b]"I don't think these guys can be reasoned with."[/b][/color] He said somewhat sarcastically.
