“Darius Dovakin, the rising trainer of dragons, has finally exited the woods of Furoh to take on the fields of Loch Ranch. A mysterious voice (yours truly) has taken residence in his mind, demanding that he solves a riddle: go to the darkest corner behind a lock that needs no key. Not even the wood fence surrounding the ranch would stop the dragon trainer from finding this fiend. One could only imagine the strong words he had in store for this mysterious telepath, er, I mean me.”

“Hey, I’m the only one who can hear you! You don’t have to keep repeating why I’m here over and over again! I get it!”

“Darius gazed in frustration over the foothills of Mt. Carello that made up the ranch. Green fields stretched for miles. A herd of stantler galloped over these hills, playing about in the morning sun. A flock of tailow flew overhead, searching for the ranchers that would spread out the feed. Amon all the scenery, Darius had an epiphany.”

“Wait…if you’re describing all this stuff and it’s happening now, that means you’re here! Show yourself!”

“Darius turned all around to find any pokemon that were watching him. What he found caused him to jump back. The blank pink eyes of an espurr looked right up to him. Darius had never encountered such a pokemon; it looked like something out of a horror movie. Clearly, he was scared.”

“I’m not scared! It caught me offguard, whatever it is.”

“Scared out of his mind.”

“SHUT UP!”

“Mighty Dovakin cowers to a little kitty cat. Perhaps he will cry.”

“ARRR THIS IS YOU!”

“Esp!”

“Darius drew his sword and pointed it to the espurr, convinced that the voice in his head was coming from the pokemon. Naturally, the espurr turned tail and fled, not wanting to find out what Darius was going to do with his sword. The dragon trainer gave chase, determined to finally end this madness…”

“Get out of my head, you scary- I mean, scaredy cat!”

Nessie was running across the field and up the steps of the Loch residence. She found her grandpa reading the paper, while her grandma was cooking a big breakfast for the staff. The girl entered the dining room, taking a moment to catch her breath.

“Gramps! Granny! There’s a man chasing our pokemon!”

“Ah, another rambunctious trainer trying to prove his might,” John Loch replied, barely looking up from the paper. “Grab your pokemon and sort him out. Get Molly to back you up.”

“But this guy has a sword and he keeps yelling at…nothing.”

John put down his paper; this certainly didn’t happen every day. He rubbed his mustache to ponder the situation.

“Should I call the police?” Nessie asked.

“That shouldn’t be necessary right now. Besides, Scott’s way closer. His number should be on my desk. See if he’s around.”

“And ask how he likes his eggs,” Virginia added.

"I'm going to knock some sense into you buffoons if the both of you don't stop fighting each other!"

"If that old man is not already dead by the next time I see him, I'll make sure that old coot is rotting in his grave for pulling such a foul act on Me!"

Hot-headed as ever Sebastian was letting his anger bustle out in the form of abuse. It had been the prospect of gaining two new pokemon over one that had Sebastian so attached to the trade he had made with the old man in Petropolis, little did the fiery haired young adult know that the two new pokemon that would be joining his team were seemingly always fighting each other and disobeying orders. After acquiring his two new team members Sebastian was focused on searching the nearby caves of Petropolis that had been rumored to contain rare items, and the prospect of finding a Magmarizer and Electerizer for the future evolution of Magby and Elekid was a bright one. Things went from bad to worse for Sebastian though as he and his team had been unsuccessful in their venture through the caves to find any rare items, this had topped off a day that the escapee from Unova would not forget anytime soon.

It was quite possibly the silliest mistake that Sebastian had made since his final event in Unova, but the young man was content to let his pokemon stay out of their pokeballs most of the time in case any wild pokemon appeared that they could hone their skills upon. Blade the Scyther and Jaws the Totodile had been attempting to stop Magby and Elekid from picking on each other as they traveled along, however their attempts were futile as no matter how hard the duo tried the pair of troublemakers just kept going at it. Sebastian's point of view towards the latest additions to his team as bitter rivals, and that was one thing that he was not going to put up with in his team. A formidable team was exactly what Sebastian was trying to build, however the pair of Elekid and Magby obviously were not showing any interest in being part of their new trainers team as they consistently disobeyed his orders to stop what they were doing, and that was leaving a very sour taste in Sebastian's mouth, their antics were starting to become so tedious that their trainer was thinking of abandoning them.

"Why can't those two be like you?"

At least Sebastian knew that Blade had gained trust in him over time and would listen to him as the boy professed to his bug type pokemon that he was model for what he was wishing his new pair of pokemon would be like. At times the young mans only company was his foursome of pokemon as he was trying his best to keep a low profile whilst traveling the Furoh region to ensure that the special forces of the Unova region could not find him, majority of the time whilst traveling Sebastian would often scan his surroundings to make sure that he was not being watched by anyone.

Since leaving Petropolis in anger from an unsuccessful venture, Sebastian had been making his way towards the Furoh-famous Loch Ranch. After eavesdropping on a group of civilians in Petropolis on his way out of the city, Sebastian had learnt the rumor that there were some strong pokemon near and inhibiting Loch Ranch, and that prospect of strengthening his team before returning to the city to eventually challenging the gym leader was a bright one. Most trainers would only be able to acquire pokemon via trade or capture, but Sebastian felt he had an upper-hand with his adept thievery skills, however he was hoping not to use them whilst at Loch Ranch in case he got caught, then things would go even more downhill then they already had been going.

It had been a few long and strenuous days for Sebastian and his team as they followed a rain soaked map towards their destination of Loch Ranch. According to the map and the landmarks that were on it, Sebastian had worked out that he was on the home stretch of heading towards the famous ranch. Keeping level headed had been a tough task to say the least for Sebastian as he had put up with the different spectrum's of weather in heavy rain and then boiling sunlight, let alone having to put up with the ever energetic duo of Magby and Elekid always being pests when allowed to roam free from their pokeballs. Despite the actions of Magby and Elekid since obtaining the pair, Sebastian was not inclined to simply abandoning them as he had payed a price to get them, and he felt that since he had been tricked that sometime in the near future he might play the same card on someone else if the young pair of pokemon did not improve their maturity. Whilst following the dirt road towards Loch Ranch Sebastian had been envisioning in his mind of how exactly he was going to survey the pokemon of Loch Ranch without being caught in the act.
