In the heart of a small forest, a pair of small Pokemon were traveling together. A ruffled, freckled Charmander led the way, while a smaller than average Riolu nonchalantly followed behind him. The two of them carried bags: after all, they were on their way to accept a job from a client.
"Trev!" the Charmander screeched from a little ways ahead. "Come on, come on! Hurry up!" he insisted, waving frantically for the Riolu to get a move on.
Without hurrying or making any form of expression for a response, Trevor — or Trev, for short — continued to walk onward. "I'm coming, Leon," he assured his partner with a quiet, bland voice.
"We're almost there!" Leon announced, noticing stairs just ahead of them. That seemed to match the description of where they were headed. "Come on, come on! We can't be late to our meeting!"
Trevor blinked as Leon turned around and went on ahead, rushing onward. They couldn't be late to such a thing, but Leon was the type to rush ahead regardless of that. He was just excited to have gotten a job after a little bit of a downtime, Trevor figured. It sounded like a fun little exploration job, too. Despite his face, which was void of any emotion, he was looking forward to it, too.
They went up the stairs, Leon much further ahead while Trevor slowly worked on catching up. While the Charmander was busy running, Trevor was appreciating the scenery. With the world slowly starting to get engulfed in a strange black mist, finding one area that had been left untouched was refreshing.
Eventually, they were both at the front door of an observatory. It matched the destination on the job description to the letter, an imposing building to behold. Trevor found it quite fascinating, a construction much different from the more rustic and ancient homes he'd lived in for the majority of his childhood in the desert.
His thoughts were snapped right out of it when he heard loud banging on the door, of course caused by none other than an impatient Leon. "Hey!" the Charmander called out loudly as he banged. "Hey!! We're the exploration team! Hello!"
