Jagged Pass had the reputation of a treacherous path, it was also what some people called a alternate way to Lavaridge Town as Trainers or Hikers have been on different levels of this place before. Though generally a quiet area Brendan was there on this day to do a bit of exploring and to check on the various pokemon that could be found there.

Pokedex and Pokemon in his arsenal for this task on behalf of himself and Professor Birch knowing he had more of a tendency to be into his fieldwork research more than anything else though Brendan cared for pokemon but made sure to have time for himself and for his pokemon as a whole, the feel of the grass on his legs when he walked through the wild grass, the fresh air and different environments he had traveled through he felt at times happier than most.

He was walking up the stairs to Mt. Chimney when something felt off, or something he did not really know for sure. Was it the air? He shook his head, he did not think that would be responsible for such a thing while he would look around first to see if it was what he felt was the wind but would be proven wrong. But a few more steps soon he saw what was a robed man in black, was he a threat? So far he was not disturbing the people here or causing destruction so that was a process of elimination crossed out. Plus hearing the ending to what he had to say also gave something of bad right now, what decision? What belonged to him or to this guy? 

Brendan being the kind person he was he walked up to the person but not too close. [color=ed1c24]"What's going on?"[/color] He asked as since he did not know what the guy was saying but figured to at least try to be a reasonable person.
