Lucien grinned at the response. "Hell yeah! All tha types 'n flavors too!" he laughed a little softer right after. Ow, actually, heh. Laughing so much was actually stirring up his back. He probably shouldn't have been that vocal and physical right then, heh. "Heh, yeh… I gotta go back one 'f these days," he hummed a bit softer. "Maybe durin' the summer." When he didn't have school and stuff to deal with. He could probably pawn off the ranch work onto one of his siblings and just.. go heh.
A small shake of head was given as if to clear it. "Nyways, Veria's gawt some cool stuff tew," he assured a little lazily after the fact. "Like deez tunnels 'n the train systems 'n whatnot." Shifting a little and stretching, he bumped his wrist on the ceiling only to lower it again. Whoops heh. The Salandit on the wall snickered, and Lucien snorted softly in response. "Ya wanna maybe walk fer a bit?" Cause why not wander through the dark with someone ya just met, Lucien.

Skye looked at the other curiously, suddenly he was calming down. As if he just came down from the only sugar rush. Skye liked the idea of going back to Alola but then he'd be open to police and bounty hunters. Maybe if things were different, oh well. He watched the other do some stretching and hit the ceiling, it was pretty low in here, its a wonder he hadn't hit his head yet. Skye looked down the long dark tunnel, he technically hadn't been all the way around the tunnels. Now would be a good time to do so.
"Alright, maybe you can tell me about yourself while we walk. And if you're curious I'll share some stuff about me too."
Of course that depended on the questions he'd ask of course, Skye still wasn't too keen about opening up completely. Especially someone he just met, but trivial stuff shouldn't be too much of a hassle. The masked young man called his Sableye over who laid on the ground depressed like because there were no more gems to be had. The pokemon perk up and scampered over to Skye, once it was close enough it reached out and grabbed Skye's hand.
"After you, since you know this place better than I do."

A small easy shoulder shrug rolled up and off Lucien. "Surez," he answered briefly. He wasn't entirely sure of what else to share, but hell yeah might as well talk to people yeah? Yeah. At the comment thereafter, Lucien grinned a bit and started walking forward. Once more, his Salandit was skirting along as well, vaguely interested and vaguely just wanting to keep up.
"Lesssee…. I'mah breeder by trade," Lucien started up easily. "Raise a lotta babies and hand them off ta trainers fer their journeys 'n whatnot." That was hardly the only thing he did, but it was a significant portion of his daily work. "Ya lookin' fer any Pokemon 'n particular?" he asked, both eyes flicking back towards Skye again.

Oh a pokemon breeder, how interesting but not surprising. Lucien looked like the caring type at first glance so being a breeder seemed to fit him well. Skye walked in tandem with Lucien, he peeked at the salandit periodically. He wondered if the pokemon Lucien had would be all of his own breeding skill. That would be interesting, to have the exact pokemon you wanted at your fingertips. Skye turned a bit and peered at the other from the corner of his eye. Well of course he wasn't really looking for anything per say. Most of his pokemon followed him until he caught them. But that mightve been a correlation to his sixth senth as he had no problems sensing ghost type pokemon. This ability was probably reciprocated and ghost could sense him...while sensing them? It was confusing but they knew and he knew so they followed him around. The young man thought long and hard, if there had been a specific pokemon...well there was one. He remembered it coming up in a conversation when he was still at the hospital...
Yes. It's more than likely he would be suffering from bouts of nightmares if begins to recall the accident. This pokemon here will ensure he can sleep well at night.
Of course he never received the pokemon, it was too much money to import. Skye's auntie didn't havethe luxury of money like the rest of her family and Skye's mother. She had to work hard for her earnings and she simply didn't make enough. In any case there was no guarentee that he would even remember. Which was true, the day of the incident remains lost to him but that didn't stop the nightmares from taking a stranglehold of his psyche. He still suffers them to this day, so much so that Skye found himself unable to sleep for a span of few days before passing out from exhaustion. He supposed in theory if he ever wanted a specific pokemon it would be that one.
"Well...I'm not particularly picky about pokemon...but if I was in the market for one I'd have to pick munna. Then I could get a Musharna."
Yes, if he could sleep a little better that would be great, but he also didn't want to rely so heavily on it as he didn't want to lose his ability to connect with entities either. It would moreso give him reprieve in between days he's travelling.
"So a breeder huh? That seems to fit you well. What made you want to become a breeder?"

Lucien waited patiently for Skye to think. Having helped trainers meet their lifelong partners for as long as he had now, he knew sometimes it took a while to 'figure out what you really want' so to speak, heh. As Skye finally spoke, however, Lucien perked up a bit. "Ah actually 'ave a Musharna," he grinned brightly. "Could breedya ah Munna 'f ya like."
As a question was turned around to him, however, Lucien stopped and looked thoughtful for a moment. "Ah ya know…" he chuckled a little reaching back to feel through his own long golden locks. "Ah wasn't 'n a good spawt fer a while." He could recognize that now even if eh had no regrets about it. He had been a very proud baby member of Team Skull. "Ut when ah started fixin' stuff, ah also started workin' fer a breeder named Jen 'n Alola," he flashed Skye a grin very briefly. "Think et wuz actually 'er love of breeding that got me goin'." It had been so infectious, heh, but he hardly blamed her for it now. "Ya ever do somethin' 'n ya jus' go 'yeh dat's what I like' ?" That was the feeling heh.

Skye perked at the offer, really? He'd just breed a pokemon for him? It wasn't like he was a trainer or anything. But he supposed the other didn't know that.
"Would you? How much would it cost?"
He couldn't possibly just take the pokemon, it wouldn't seem right if this was Lucien's livelihood. He was certain he could scrouge up enough money to pay for it if he tried hard enough. Skye stopped just as the other stopped, he knew how that felt. But it was nice that he found something worth investing in. Skye wouldn't say what he does now is what he expected to be doing but he does like what he does. It wasn't something he could probably explain, what would he tell the other? Hey I have a sixth sense and help entities beyond our understanding when they need help. Yeah, not everyone needed to know that.
"Uhm, I'm more of a drifter really. I like to travel around and indulge in region culture. It's nice, so I guess that would count. Anything you'd like to know?"

Lucien grinned a little and nodded at the first question. At the second, he looked thoughtful before giving a reasonable number that most certainly wasn't 10 muns asking price of his ranch cause this was IC verses OOC. "Somewhere 'n der," he finished up with a small nod. "T's the usual goin' prince now ah days 'f yer lookin' at Pokemon." Rare Pokemon especially were more expensive, but Munna and Musharna were not that way at least. Thereafter, the conversation shifted a little, and a curious look came to Lucien's features. A drifter huh? That was neat. Not really the life Lucien could live given all of his responsibilities and the like, but he had been much the same years back wandering the islands along with his bestie Fomantis Alamea. "What oth'r regions ya been to?" he asked folding his hands behind his head. "See anythin' really exciting?" If he just went where his legs took him, then surely he must have seen all kinds of things.

That price seemed reasonable and something Skye was able to put money up for. As to Lucien's follow up question, Skye did see a lot in terms of the paranormal. He'd seen old 'haunted' buildings come to life at night. The lights and shadows dancing around his eyes like the stars in the night sky . Voices so strong it sounded like a euphonious symphony in his mind. Sometimes the things he could only see were much more beautiful than the things that everyone could see. How could share that though? It would be impossible, not to mention Lucien might call him crazy for it. Oh! Well he still had his photos from his travels. Thank goodness for his camera and holocaster!
"Aside from Kalos and Alola, I've been to Unova, Kanto, and Hoenn. Kanto was my favorite, all the festivals they had were the most interesting. The best festival was the Princess Festival, they have all sorts of collectable pokemon dolls that young girls will put on display. I think I still have some photos of the one I went to."
Skye started to rummage into his bag for his holocaster so that he could pull up the images.
"I even got photos from the other regions as well. Hoenn was nice I especially like the seafloor caverns and shoal cave. Unova was okay...I'm not really a fan of the huge crowded cities but their bridges were some of the best pieces of architecture I'd ever seen."

Wowzers, Skye had been everywhere, hadn't he? Luci was almost jealous, heh. Princess Festival? Huh, that sounded interesting. He wondered if there was a Prince festival to go along with it or a King and Queen or a Jack or Joker or- Heh, he was getting ahead of himself, wasn't he?
As the rest was described, however, he perked up again. Caverns and cities and so much more to see and do, yeah? "Ah man, ya've been everywhere, huh?" he chuckled a bit folding his hands behind his head. "T's gatta be nice." Maybe when summer came around, rather than just visit Alola, he should do like a world tour or something, heh. He could already hear Dad's frustrated rebuttal at that, but fuck that hahaha.
He'd lean sideways as the Holocaster was finally pulled up, looking at whatever Skye brought up to show. The Salandit, meanwhile, was still scurrying along the walls but occasionally looked back to her human and his new companion. Hm, he seemed busy with something. Whatever.

"Not everywhere, but the unknown is far more interesting. That's the best part of the trip, for me anyways."
Skye scrolled through the images, the first sets started with Kanto as that was the last region he was in before coming to Veria. There pictures of each city/town, from Pallet town all the way to Cinnabar island. Then there was photos of some of Kanto's well know landmarks, Cerulean cavern, Digglet cave, Mt Moon, the old burned down mansion at cinnabar, the pokemon tower in lavender town, etc. And lastly were the sets of photos from Kantonian festivals. The ones of the princess festival had phots of the pokemon stands lined up with dolls, the stands, and different women and girls in princess like attire. The other sets of photos from the other regions were set up the exact same way. Skye surprising was pretty organized for someone who didn't look it.
After those regions passed there were some photos of Alola, mainly Akala island, the Tidesong Hotel, and the abandoned supermarket where he found his Mimikyu, there was even a really badly blurred photo of the ghost pokemon as it jump out at Skye when he first entered the area. There even some images of every single piece of Malasada Skye ever had on the island. After those photos were ones from Kalos. Skye didn't bother showing those as he quickly closed the holocaster.
"That's about all the photos I have from my travels."
One thing of interest should Lucien have noticed was the extreme lack photos of Skye. He even had photos of his pokemon the day he met them but he hadn't had one of him.
"It's been a while since I used my camera, I should probably take it out and grab some photos of places in Veria while I'm here."

The unknown eh? Lucien got that at least to some degree or another. Seeing everything for the first time did have its merits. Seeing pictures was pretty great too, though. Golden eyes drew over each little picture as it flickered by, putting much of it to memory in the process. The images of Alola, however, had his eyes watering just a little. Arceus, he missed it. Thankfully it was dark enough that he could wipe his eye and look cool doing so, yeah? Yeah totally.
He caught sight of one from Kalos before Skye closed it and spoke. Lucien grinned a bit softly looking back down the tunnel way. "Dat's really neat," he admitted with a small chuckle. "Wish ah'd've thought ta take some pics." He probably had a couple here and there, but he had always assumed Alola would be his final destination. Coming to Veria had only been part of the plan after the fact, heh. "Lemme see actually…" He flipped up his Holowatch and scanned through some o fthe itinerary to his pictures. Oh wait- had he never even downloaded the ones he had from the cloud? Ergh, maybe after he got out of the tunnels he'd do that. "Ah nevah mind. Fergawt this was a new device." He laughed a little and waved his hand some.

"That's alright, maybe you can show me later or another time."
If they ever met again actually, well he could ask to exchange contacts but really who would want to talk to him? Maybe he should ask.
"Uhm...you know if we exchanged contacts or whatever. But you don't have to..."
God Tenebrose what was that!? You could've sounded not desperate. The Sableye that was holding his hand started to cackle at his owners utter embarrassment. Skye looked down at the creature that suddenly stopped and grinned. That little--Skye rolled his eyes. The Sableye pretended not to notice but was suddenly distracted by something gleaming in the low light of the dark.
GEMS.
The Sableye released Skye's hand and ran off into the dark, Skye looked utterly confused.
"Hold on there jethro, where are you running off to?"
Skye started moving quicker to catch up with his pokemon. It didn't know the area and could get hurt from unstable rocks or worse, another pokemon.

Hm? A golden eye flicked sideways to Skye, and a small smile curled on Lucien's features. "Oh surez," he answered flipping over to his contacts. "Ya wanna give me yers since ah've gawt mine right 'ere?"
Unfortunately, it seemed the Sableye that was with Skye had decided to up and run, and as Skye started moving, Lucien was almost left in the dust. Uh…. Golden eyes raised to the Salandit hanging from the ceiling. "Ya wanna catch up to em?" he asked. She shrugged, not to invested either way. He nodded a bit and opened his arms for her to drop down in. Catching her easily (and with a small 'uhmph' sound when he realized just how heavy she was), he started to jog after the Sableye and Skye. "Yo- where ya goin?" he called. Thankfully his Aura Sight and Tracking capacity made it easy to follow after Skye no matter where he went heh.

Skye followed the gleam fromSableyes gems that were embedded into its body, eventually the pokemon stopped to a large gem that was equally embedded into the wall. Jackpot! The gem loving pokemon climbed onto the wall just to lick the gem. From afar Lucien could probably see the small flickering light of Skye's aura, eventhough it was very much faded than most auras he'd seen.
"Kit...you've eaten enough gems...you're going to catch a stomachache..."
The Sableye was now scratching at the wall, Skye backed up as some of the rocks fell off and hit the ground. Then there was an odd sound, like one of the rocks hit something very hollow. The masked young man grabbed a flashlight from his bag and turned it on to add more visibility in the area. It seemed like this area was a dead end and a way here was recently dug out by pokemon. He continued to shine the light until it came across something on the ground. It was...a skeleton resting against the wall a few feet from him and the Sableye. It was perched next to a pile of rocks, a bag was sitting right by the old bones. It must've been here for many years, the bones were picked clean and covered in a layer of dust and draped in cobwebs.
Skye carefull approached the bones, he could feel something faint coming from it. A very very faint energy, very weak and slowly fading. He walked up close to see if the energy would get stronger. He leaned down to examine the skeleton, the clothing look like an adventurer or maybe an archeologists. His mind was now tuning into the energy, a low static sound with a voice that sounded fuzzy and far away. He needed to concentrate for a moment, and so he closed his eyes and tuned everything out.

As he finally rounded the corner that led to Skye and his Sableye, Lucien stopped short on seeing the giant gem. Holy Arceus, he could only imagine how much money that would fetch if they could somehow get it up and out of here, heh. His eyes, however, wound shifted away after that as the flickering of Skye's aura caught them again and-
For a moment, Lucien wasn't even sure what he was seeing. That was…. clearly a body carved out, rusted over, wounded by time, but what was Skye doing to it? The way his aura flickered argued that 'focusing' or 'paying attention' was the general answer, but that gave him no actual clues as to what that even meant.
"…. Yo…. Skye?" Lucien asked as he drew a bit closer, one step at a time, his eyes holding forward. The Salandit in his arms squirmed a bit, and he allowed her to drop and scuttle over to the gem instead. She too was more interested in it than the body that was found. What a beautiful treasure! Surely she could break off a piece maybe?
