Remember when people used to buy ringtones? I don't think I've taken my phone off vibrate in like a decade.

Bio
"No one can escape the fate given to them. All that remains is the end, where you will all perish. Eternal greatness exists only within myself. Sing a song of sorrow in a world where time has vanished."
"Truth be told, I'm actually more interested in being a scientist than a trainer."
Name: Judas Alto
Nicknames: None, currently.
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance:Judas stands in around 6 feet exactly, and is 190 pounds, as he's gained some muscle doing field work with his father. He has several small nicks and cuts along his hands and feet, and bite marks on his feet and ankles. Most of these injuries are from field work with his father, and from his pokemon partners. Mostly His Trapinch, Squegg. Other than that, he wears waterproof leather boots, and fingerless gloves to avoid any more injuries than he already has. He can also often be seen in jeans, as they are a pretty durable choice.
Personality: Disarmingly optimistic, he does his best to stay happy and hopeful as his father raised him to be in his younger years, when he wasn't around as much.
Short Biography: Judas was Born and raised in the Orre region. His first home was in Phenac City, where he lived like most other children. He attended school, and made all sorts of friends. At the age of 12, with the help of his father, he even caught his first pokemon in the desert there. A Sandshrew, who put up quite the fight. In the end however, they released the sandshrew back into the wild.
At the age of 17, Judas' father told the family they'd be moving. All the way to the Hoenn region, to a place called Mauville City. After some minor protests, Judas eventually came along quietly. The shift from Desert city to tropical metropolis was a bit of a culture shock to him, but, as luck would have it, there was a desert just north of Mauville, and Judas would accompany his father whenever he went there. After a year or so of catch and release and playing with the family vulpix, Judas decided he wanted his own pokemon to keep. So he took the trip to the small desert in search of a partner.
In said desert, a Trapinch laid half-buried in the sand. Taking this opportunity to use his catching, Judas whipped out a Premier Ball (his favorite type) and hit it right in its big orange mouth. Judas knew he should probably have weakened it first, but the only pokemon he really had was the family vulpix, and if something happened to her, he'd never hear the end of it. Fortune, or perhaps fate, reared its head, and the Trapinch was captured without incident. Holding the limp body of his new friend, Judas thought it was dead, but its occasional blinking showed it was still alive, just really lazy.
Squegg got along just fine with everyone else, and spent most of his days lounging around and doing light training. Then, Judas' dad gave way to more unfortunate news: they'd be moving again. This time to a small town in Johto, called New Bark Town. Disappointed, but understanding, the family moved to New Bark Town.
Judas would spend the rest of his time until present day here. But he still accompanied his father on his trips to other towns. His favorite memory is when his father took him to the bug catching contest in Goldenrod for his 22nd birthday, where he got extremely lucky, and managed to win first place with a Scyther he had caught. He named the Scyther Ace, and began using him as his main training partner, rather than Squegg.
The rest of the year went by fast, but everything came to a grinding halt 3 weeks ago, when his father didn't return home after going out for some field work. He usually would only be gone a couple of days, and it wasn't uncommon for him to be a day or two late, but now he had been gone for a week. Two weeks. Three weeks. The police were alerted, and other scientists around the region were notified, but Judas had had enough. He told his mother he'd go out searching for him, and surprisingly, he had her full support. With a pack full of items, pokeballs, and rations, he took his two partners, and joined a group of others who also happened to be leaving. Safety in numbers and all that.

It had been three whole days since they left town. Annie, being the Archeologist extraordinaire that she was, was very used to this kind of thing, though her trips usually didn't last more than a week as she traveled from place to place. Neon sat behind her, keeping a lookout for any trouble as he usually does. Neon used to control the reigns, but the sun shining off of his armor was blinding, so they switched places.
The days followed mostly the same pattern. Travel, eat, sleep. Pretty norm as l all things considered. Fortunately, there was some good news: Donny had been found, and he was alive. Or at least, that's what Simon's robot friend told them. Unfortunately, Simon didn't have the foresight to ask said robot friend to actually bring him back. But Annie knew she'd probably do the same thing.
By the third day, it looked like they were getting doubts about their traveling route. Or at least, Jules seemed to think so. "Well, if you're feelin' lost, maybe Neon and I could take look at the map. We're pretty good at that, all things considered." And they were. For once, this was something Annie was actually better at than Neon. Comes with the territory of being an archeologist, she imagined. Though Neon knew that with Annie at the helm, there would probably be more than a few detours, all in the name of "Oh that looks cool".
Yeagnasae, the goddess of the Elements sits in a deep slumber. As she tosses and turns, the world begins to shift. In a land to the northwest, the elements begin to manifest themselves in new ways...
Neon had done a pretty stellar job setting up the tent. Well, mostly anyways. There were a few things that still needed to be done, but they didn't take long. It was pretty amazing how such a relatively large tent could fit into the size of a sleeping bag. But at last the large green tent was set up. It was rectangular in shape, and the top was flat, but was a solid head above Annie.
Before stepping inside, Annie retreated to Slow Ride and grabbed a large, light blue blanket. The blanket had an Eagle on it, it's wings fully extended and talons ready to strike. Annie had actually bought this for Neon, but he never uses it, so she decided to take it upon herself to wield the oversized blanket herself. Taking it inside, Annie laid the blanket down on the tent's floor before inviting everyone else over. "Hey y'all! Tent's finished! Come on in!"
IN THE MIND OF NEON...
How in the actual hell did they manage to lose an unconscious person of all things? Someone wandering off was one thing, but an unconscious person? Well, whatever. The light from his lantern was modest at best, but it should be more than enough to look for Donny.
He had said a hundred feet, but he had likely gone double that. The endless shifting sands seemed daunting. If it wasn't for Slow Ride and the other horses, this desert probably would've killed them. Annie almost certainly so.
The wind began to pick up, and sand began to stir. Not enough to cause a terrible storm, but enough to cause a bit of blindness. Not a good sign. Neon decided here would be a good point to start a perimeter. A square around the area should be fine.
The walk was, for the most part, uneventful. No Donny, or any signs of life for that matter. There might've been a scorpion or something under a rock nearby, but nothing that would cause alarm. That is, until Neon heard the sound of metal against metal at his feet. Illuminating the area at his feet, something silver reflected the light of his lantern. Bending over and scooping up the object, he dusted it off and held it closer to the light.
It was a silver flask, rectangular with rounded corners, and with a large fish engraved on one side. It's scales were intricately detailed, and had wispy fins on it's side and head, and it's V-shaped tail trailed behind it. There was a single, large letter written on the other side. An "S" was written in calligraphy. It didn't look too terribly old, but he wasn't the Archeologist. Maybe Annie would have a better idea about it. Speaking of which, he should probably head back, it looks like he wouldn't be finding Donny. With a new flask in hand, Neon walked back to the light of the campfire, and the big green tent.
