Ral had made his way to Old Faraday in hopes of treasure with his winter cloak on, he had explored the area.This was his first time here and he enjoyed it for the most part, he hardly ever encountered any one and he got to be himself and not put a facade up. With taking in his surroundings he noticed another person coming his way with what appeared to be a Gallade next to the approaching stranger.

'So much for being alone. was the thought that ran though Rals head when he started to work his way towards this trainer and his partner."Well hello, how are you?...I hope I am not in the way of anything.' Ral mustered up in a friendly voice.

Ral gave a slight glare to the strangers tone "Just out here exploring, It's my first time out here. So I really didn't know what I would find out here." Ral gave a gentle smile in hopes that it would remove what ever tension they had. 'Just remember Ral i have to stay nice and kind while in public, last thing I need is to be removed from my position from my gym.'

"Let me introduce myself, I am Ral Zurggo. I am from Aleal City." Ral offered his hand out for a shake. Ral really didn't know what to think of this new comer most people would already let their guard down for his kindness act.

Ral gave a smirk "So you have hear of me?" Ral moved over to play with some debris with his foot. Looking back to Thomas he would let out a lough "Dangerous or not we are all destined to die could be today or tomorrow but our paths are all the same, just different how we get there." Ral wasn't going to let him intimidate him. with bending over to see if he uncovered something of interest in the debris he was fiddling with ral would find nothing.

With a sigh he would turn his attention back to Thomas. "So you know me, Thomas was it? Tell me about yourself. It's not everyday you meet some one out in middle of no where."

Ral just nodded to the man. "So any idea what kind of treasure has been found here before?" Ral was interested what kind of things he could possible find here, was his first time here after all " Also any suggestions where to look?" Ral had with a gentle smile. 'Something says even tho he seems not to be phased by the niceness act that I should keep it up, regardless.'

Ral took a look around before walking over to a rock and sitting one it and just watched the man and his Pokemon and the scenery in the back ground.

Thomas watched as Ral kicked over a piece of debris, finding a black Z-Crystal underneath. Thomas looked at the object from a distance as Ral held it up to the sunlight. The trainer immediately recognized it as a Z-Crystal, the one that empowered Dark-type moves. But it wasn't like the trainer was just going to tell the blonde Gym Leader that off the bat.

"I'm not sure, to be honest. It's certainly different compared to the Gems found in The Tunnels, or the Liggs Mines. There's a jeweler in the downtown area that can appraise that, if you want to take a chance, and hold onto it for now.", Thomas told Ral, giving him some honest advice in between keeping his knowledge in the shadows.

Thomas would notice a glimmer not too far from where they were. The trainer rushed over to check it out, looking up so as to keep his eyes on any debris that could potentially come crashing down on him. The trainer would pick up the source of the glimmer quickly, noticing it was a darker pink with an eye glyph in the center.

"Looks like I've got an appointment with the jeweler as well.", Thomas remarked, heading back to relative safety.

Ral listened to the man about bringing it to a Jeweler, Ral was about to say something when he felt a decent amount of force crash into him from behind knocking him to the ground. Ral had rolled over on his back just to notice a Delibird staring down at him, Ral just glared at this pokemon as Ral made movement to grab one of his pokemon balls from his cloak the Delibird had dropped a piece of candy on his face, then took off.

Ral quickly got to his feet grabbing onto a what seemed like a rock at the time. as he got ready to though it at the Delibird Ral noticed it shined from having the sun hit it directly, resulting in Ral stopping and examining it.

This stone was almost like one Ral had but different in size and color and urge to keep it had come over him so he placed it into his cloak pocket that housed the black crystal he just found moments ago.

looking back at Thomas Ral just gave a smile and let out a deep sigh. "I am sorry, I kinda let go for a minute. not every day some random bird rams you and then gives you a piece of candy." Saying this had reminded him of indecent couple weeks ago and he decided to pick the candy back up and place it in his pocket as well.
