[Lord Windos]

Upon setting out from Ginger Town and entering into the Route 4 buffer zone, Ventus had a warm, radiant smile on his face as he took in the opens trails and semi-domesticated wilderness. The warm morning sun, the cool, refreshing breeze that swept through his hair, the earthen scent of the trail....all of it invigorated him, dispelling some of the underlying tension that he'd been carrying ever since yesterday afternoon.

'I know I will eventually have to find a way resolve the aftermath of that....interesting battle, aiding Shiva in fully recovering from the ordel and get Nate to open up a bit more once he has regained some stability. For now, though, I just want to enjoy this glorious morning, and have a little time for respite myself; I believe Reshirim can forgive me for that bit of selfishness,' the empath thought, walking along the trail and interposing himself between the boy and lass, as to forstall them for potentially conflicting from one another. Truly, he was not exactly cut out for the role of mediator (He was more of a protector/guarden, really), but one must be willing to fulfill the duties that are thrust upon them, if they wish to preserve what they value above all else...

Once everyone made some headway along the route and took short break, splintering off to explore the area for Pokémon/treasure or enjoy their free time however they like, Ventus decided to properly limber up and hunt/savage the area with Lucifer to see if they couldn't turn up anything particularly Rare, before recalling them and making his way to small tributary to the Greenbrair River to do a bit of angling. Apsis took the liberty of releasing themselves from their Pokeball and coiling around him while he fished, both to protect him from whatever he managed to bring out of the drink, and to have first chance to snap up anything that her master didn't want to catch. Its been awhile since her last warm, filling meal, and fish was always a favored treat she indulged in, *Hiss!*

Additionally, he also took the time to go over to the Steel Move Tutorer and have Lucifer  learn Iron Tail for $1500 Poke! If their performance against that trainer's Snorunt taught him anything, its that his little devil needs all the help he can get against the types that which prove to be his bain!

Order: First go after the Rare Item with Lucifer as a way to both acquire it for myself and hone up on their own treasure hunting skill, before heading to the river with Apsis to catch some Pokémon/meals. He'll be using the Gyarados Gut to bait his line, as he is quite curious to see how that will modify the result of his fishing. Also, he'll spend $1500 Poke to have Lucifer to learn Iron Tail, as the bat needs the coverage and its right their for the taking. This is rather nice place altogether, I must say!
