Randolph slowly pulls the rop up with Scizor and the man on the other end.  Eventually, the two of them are able to scramble up over the edge.

Scizor dusts himself off while the gentleman falls to his hands and knees, exhausted.  "...oh thank goodness...I thought I was a goner for sure..."

He stands up, brushes a few pebbles off of his shoulder, attempts to straighten his messy blonde hair, then looks at the group, a beaming smile on his face.  "Now then, you clearly aren't my traveling companions, so who do I have the pleasure of being rescued by?"

Randolph himself whips his arms up and down a bit to get the stiffness/strain out of them post rescue, then calmly and quietly letting the dapper dressed man collect himself first and take things at their own pace. When they do and ask for introductions, he steps forward and offers them a handshake, his expression serious but not unapproachable so.

"Name's Randolph Schmidt, and these *Jerks thumb at the rest of his group* are my partners Karen, Rui, and Scizors - he's an Independent Pokemon, by the way. Have other ones besides them, but they're off exploring the rest of this area. I presume you're Johnathan, yes? Before you ask how I know that...."

He reaches into his inventory, and pulls out the Fiery Journal and Red Top Hat, and presents it to the bedraggled but still fine looking man.

"....We found these scattered back past that mess that avalanche created. Read this journal here - hope you don't mind, if its yours - and we decided to Dig a path through it to see if we couldn't find the persons mentions in it. Looks like we did, and in the nick of time to - if you are Johnathan, of course. "

If the man asks were the rest of his missing belongings are, Ran will say he and the rest of his current group has them, and will offer the Sword Dance TM, Big Nugget, and Fire Plate he took back to them if he requests. Ran's no thief, nor would he ask to keep such valuable after saving their life. He's principled like that, and he sure as heck won't extort or pressure a person like a certain professor...
