Machop splashes in the water a bit. But then he goes back to Ventus and points Westward, along the spine of the divide. That seems to be where he ultimately shall go.

The researcher pondered at the martial Pokémon's commitment of scaling and traversing the entirety of the west side of the mountain range, before they smiled and nodded to them. "Then I suppose this where we part our seperate ways, Machop. If your goal is to cross these perilous, pitted, and powerful mountain, then I pray to Reshirim that you journey is, if not safe, then uneventful in the worst of ways. Still, it would behoove me to only give you well wishing for you travels, so here," Ventus said, before he reached into his satchel and pull out a few: A small and easy to open baggie that he often stores sandwiches in, two Apples, an Oran Berry, a bottle of that clean water, and a few strands of spider silk he had collected earlier.

He opened up the baggie and place the fruit, berry, and water inside, closed it up, before fiddling around with it and the string to create a sort of makeshift satchel that could be easily carried on either their arms or the neck. The sociologist then handed over to the wild fighter and said to them: "Its not much, but I know how hard it is to savage food and fresh water in places like this, and storing them even harder when on the move. Take these supplies, and use them as you see fit. May you be well, Machop."

Once his meeting/encounter with the Fighting type had concluded, he wandered over to where Shiva was angling at, and soon enough his fishing rod was returned with a sullenness aura of discontent/failure. In response, he gave the fae lass a look of sympathy , then patted their head with an easy going smile. "Fishing, while requiring some modecrum of skill and ample patience, is very much 'hit or miss' in regards to what you end up reeling in. At time you can catch rarities such as Corsola, while at other time you get naught but Magikarp or Goldeen. Its the nature of the practice/lifestyle, so don't feel too put out by your lack of success!"

At Nate's comment on the ruins, he found himself in complete agreement with the boy for once, but still had a little more to say on the subject. "If its anything like Celestial Tower  or the Relic Castle out in the Unova Desert, then its a place to avoid unless you have business or some goal that necessitate you being there. Unfortunately for us, with the Scimitars and Almanac's arcane movements with regards to Ancient Cheshire, sooner or later we will have to explore the place ourselves, especially if we consider Kirlia visions of the dreaded place and my reading with the mystic at the Festival. All we can do now is prepare for that eventful day, but its something to keep in mind..."

Heart's question about Geodude was just meet with :" Oh, they just follow us around for whatever reason. Pay them no mind or treat them well, and they'll do the same in turn for you." Ven then, with everyone's attention now on him, said to them all : "Now that we had the chance for some respite and that Lucifer has helped chart a path for us, let's move onwards now, shall we? I rather escape the mountains before night falls, as who knows what could be lurking up here at that dire time of the day..."
