The gang had made it only half way up the North Western stretch of Mt. Leeman when exhaustion started hitting them...

"This kinda sucks," he grumbled. Though not unfit, the path was challenging even for the most seasoned of hikers, that was for sure. "You guys have to be at least a little tired." Indigo sighed and wiped at his forehead. "Sure would have been nice if that stupid, dinky Shamba Town had some actual services for trainers. They've got a gym but barely any businesses." Indy rolled his eyes. "I miss Celedon. They've got like 5 story shopping malls there, and there's nothing you can't find." They had just come back from Celadon, true, but the events at Pewter had spoken them up so they hadn't truly been able to enjoy themselves.

"Wish we could have showed you the funner stuff, Margo. Actually, I kinda wish we had a car right now...."

Indigo's words didn't fall on deaf ears. From above on a cliff, an old friend of Daniel's spotted them. The little boy with wild hair and dirty clothes yelled down. [b]"Hey Daniel! Who are your friends!?"[/b] But instead of waiting for a reply, the boy made a loud roaring noise. He then jumped without a care. 

Jagged rocks and thorny bushes lay below him, but he didn't mind; he was smiling. About halfway through his fall, a [b]Drampa[/b] came floating out of his cave. The creature looked tired and a little confused, as if it had just been napping. But when the  boy landed on his back, that confusion dissipated. If one was close enough, they'd be able to see the dragon roll his eyes and smile. 

[b]"Hey Pawpaw, can you take me down to my friends?"[/b] the boy said into the dragon's ear, while pointing down the mountain. The dragon made a soft grumbling noise and began gently floating downward. As they got closer to the ground in front of the group, the boy introduced himself. [b]"My name is Zvi!"[/b] The Drampa's feet touched the ground, but Zvi didn't get off. He looked very comfortable on the fluffy creature.
