Indigo shivered. As the day's light dropped, so did the temperature of the mountain face they were currently traveling on. Remembering he had a fire pokemon, he clicked the release button on Hawka's pokeball.

Normally coming out with a screech and her claws extended, Hawka's pose was much more relaxed as she saw there was no battle to best. The heat from her body radiated around her and Indigo motioned for Margo to closer. 

[color=8882be]"At least it'll be a little warmer... We may need to camp soon."[/color] He glanced up at the sky. Margo gave a quick thank you, smiling at Indy's kind gesture. [color=8882be]"The stars don't pop out as much when you're in the city. I think my first night as a trainer, I camped out at Muzin Beach and noticed that too." [/color]

[color=mediumseagreen][b]"Yeah, I get that,"[/b][/color] Margo replied, pulling a frayed thread on the end of her sweater sleeve. Thinking back to her first day of her journey brought up a lot of feelings she wasn't sure how to address.[color=mediumseagreen][b]"Unova's full of really big cities, and you have to go out far to catch the stars sometimes. I camped out at Muzin Beach my first night, too!"[/b][/color]

[color=8882be]"Really? I guess that makes sense. I mean, the first thing you do when you get your pokemon is go to the beach and have fun."[/color] Indigo was silent. [color=8882be]"That's where I got Hero from. From the forest that goes to Muzin, I mean. He tried to protect me from an angry Rattata."[/color] Indigo laughed, but it sounded empty.

[color=mediumseagreen][b]"Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'll find Hero..."[/b][/color] Margo tried to think of what to say, but words were failing her. She glanced at Indigo sympathetically, her brows knitting together. 

[color=8882be]"Oh no, no, don't worry about it,"[/color] Indigo said quickly. [color=8882be]"I didn't mean to get all down-"[/color]

[color=mediumseagreen][b]"No, you're okay!"[/b][/color] Margo waved her hands. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"It's good to talk about your feelings. Makes it easier to get through them."[/b][/color] She realized she should probably take some of her own advice, but let that thought slip out of her mind carelessly. 

[color=8882be]"Thanks,"[/color] Indigo replied, feeling grateful. Margo was an easy person to talk to. [color=8882be]"Say, about earlier with that Ho-oh and book..."[/color]

But just as they tried to talk the events previous, a figure seemed to be coming up the mountain. A large, threatening figure coming up too quickly for Indigo's liking. Hawka tensed, growling, looking up at Indigo and back at the hulking shadow that was heading their way.

[color=8882be]"What is that?!"[/color] He looked at Margo frantically, the ordeal at Pewter flashing through his mind. Was something coming after them, sent by the robbers from before? Or was it just a wild pokemon? Margaret was quick to grab her own pokeball and release Crowne, the Wartortle popping out of his shell dramatically in the air before landing with a cloud of dust from the trail. The pokemon glanced around, looking for Margo and giving her a stubby thumbs up before turning his attention towards the mysterious figure barreling towards his trainer. 

Indy squinted through the darkness before remembering Mimzy. [color=8882be]"Wait, I can get Mimzy to see it for us!"[/color] 

Mimzy came out with a perfectly timed hop, but there was hardly any time for praise. [color=8882be]"Mimzy, Foresight!"[/color]

Mimzy's eyes glowed an ethereal blue before unleashing a wave of light. The illuminating energy washed over everything before them, revealing some pokemon hiding in their area, but the figure was too far away to be identified.

Would it be too late if they waited until it got closer? Indigo thought. 

Margo wasn't wasting any moments either. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"Crowne! Get a Water Pulse Ready!"[/b][/color]

[color=8882be]"Get ready guys..."[/color] He braced himself. 

[color=00aeef]"HEY, KIDS, OUT OF THE WAY!"[/color] The shadowy figured shouted from a ways away. As the figure came closer, Mimzy's Foresight revealed a man riding a Boufflant, a feathery and small Hoothoot fluttering in front. [color=0072bc]"I've got some mail to take care of-!"[/color] He raised a saddlebag, lumpy with letters and packages, as if to prove his point. But some of the contents spilled suddenly. A few boxes and an envelope drifted out. [color=0072bc]"Woah- Oh no!"[/color]

[color=mediumseagreen][b]"We gotta help him,"[/b][/color] Margo was gone without even a blink of hesitation. She managed to catch the fluttering envelope while Hawka, Mimzy, Indigo, and Crowne, divebombed for the packages. Just as the man on the Bouffalant was stepping off his trusty pokemon, Indy and Margo were there with the mail. 

[color=mediumseagreen][b]"Sorry about that,"[/b][/color] Margo took the lead in conversation. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"It was so dark and-- we just didn't know what was coming up the mountain. We thought it might have been some wild pokemon or something after us..."[/b][/color] She shrugged, offering a sheepish smile. Indigo nodded. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"I'm Margo, and this is Indigo..."[/b][/color]
