#HUEHUE throws my Pokemon trainer! Shuichi at u :3c

[ahogedetective]

Ecruteak City.. a city rich with history: for a trainer like Shuichi, who always loved to learn more about the locations and Pokemon he sees on the way, he naturally loves this city, and was excited to see it as he makes his way there.

Along his path, he saw the gym leader training with a rock. Seeing who it was-".....!" His eyes widen. He was for sure that's....! ("That's the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City....!") But because he was so distracted in his amazement, Shuichi didn't realize how dangerously close he was to the flying debris of the rock.

"?!" By the time he was alert, he was going to be too late to dodge the rocks completely, and definitely get hurt... that is until Morty shoved him out of the way in time. "Ah-!!" He catches his balance, thankfully avoiding getting pelt by the rocks.. but seeing Morty got injured, instead, makes his face pale.

"...?! O...Oh no...!!!" He instantly rushes closer to him in a panic. Despite him being clearly hurt, he was still making sure if Shuichi was okay, first: he felt so bad... "Th... Thank you very much for saving me.. I... I'm okay, you pushes me out of the way on time... But what about you, are you okay?! I-I'm so sorry!! All because I wasn't paying attention...!" Taking his backpack off, he opens it to immediately start looking for any kind of cloth.

"H-Hang on, I might have something in here you can wipe your face with...!!"

He's panting softly as he stares at the rubble of the rock that he had destroyed during training. Morty wasn't dumb. He was a gym leader who was highly sought after for his clairvoyant abilities and a well studied scholar on the history of the legendary pokemon of his city.... however, he didn't account for the trainer that had come so close to where he was training with Drifloon and the sharp rocks heading right their way. Fortunately, he was able to get them out of the way but not without getting hit himself.

Holding his head where the shards of rock had pierced him, he looked over to the trainer as he felt the blood drip down his face and into his hand. How troublesome... but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed, and right now, there was someone else that might be hurt by all of this.

"That was a close call. You're not hurt, are you?"
