-it's a peaceful rest-

-at least the old man seems alive still-

...Right, I don't wanna wake him up or anything...

(is about to go on her way when...)

(the sound of a roar permeates the air)

(that ought to wake him up)

Don't remember this being the wilderness...

—!

(Lansie jumps to attention, pulling out a Poké Ball from her coat)

(this one's blue-and-white - a "Great Ball", as they call it in the biz)

Ghh... get inside! That cry's a Salamence - it might be heading this way!!

(indeed, the sound of approaching flapping wings can be heard, followed by a louder roar...)

I'm sure I'll be fine... might just be a posturing beast.

-slowly gets up from his stool, one leg limping slightly, before his walking stick supports him-

Either way, if we show submission- it probably won't hurt us.

No, I know how this Pokémon works. It...

(Lansie trails off when the Salamence in question flies overhead)

(good news - it's not even giving the house the time of day, just flying by as it roars again)

(bad news - its expression, if he can catch it, looks absolutely savage)

(combine that with its giant, crescent-shaped wing, as well as the battle wounds it seems to bear but pays no mind to...)

...No way.

(Lansie mutters to herself as the Salamence - no, the Mega Salamence - flies off into the horizon)

Looked wounded.

Or scarred, at least...

I suppose you may be right after all.

-just smiles a little bit, with a small shrug-

Something wrong, though?

That Salamence was Mega Evolved. That means it either has a Trainer, and isn't as wild as I thought - or if it is wild, then we have a real problem on our hands.

(sighs)

...My apologies. I'm probably confusing you.

I think I can keep track.

I am ignorant of much of this subject matter...

Such things don't exist in my world.

-chuckles with a slight airlessness-

But I'm not confused.

-PANE-

-Emerges from the woods, seeming to have ran after the Salamence-

What in the...

-They look around to try and catch where it went, but then sees Athena sitting nearby-

Oh! Uh- Hey, you okay?

(nods)

If that Mega Salamence is feral, then we have to catch it for our safety and everyone else's. Mega Evolutions tend to go berserk - unless they have a strong Trainer to anchor them, and keep them as themselves.

I want to find that Trainer, if they exist. Just so I can be sure it isn't a threat.

Do you have a method for finding them?

...

(shakes her head)

To find a Trainer who can Mega Evolve their Pokémon, you need the same equipment that lets them do so. While I know Trainers who have them, I don't have them with me.

-sighs a slight bit-

The only other option would be to track the beast. See where it rests.

If there is a Trainer with it- then obviously that's our ticket.

That's what I plan to do. I'm a Trainer myself - and I have Pokémon that are good at tracking.

Then I suppose I can leave it in your capable hands then, eh?

Besides, I'm far too old to be doing this sort of- field work...

I'm sorry if it sounded like I wanted to get you involved in Aether Foundation work. What we do can potentially be dangerous, even after training.

I'd be surprised if you even took me on!

-his smile's wide-

I'm well past my prime... I'm wrinkly- with a bad leg, and eyesight that is corrected by lenses...

Not that I assume you couldn't observe that for yourself.

It is a pleasure, Mr. Asander.
