MONTAGNE KHASTIL
July 8 — Ambrette Town, Kalos
The hike to Ambrette Town was...eye opening to say the least. Monty had been training Pokémon for almost a month, and still there was so much he didn't know about. He thought the only way Pokémon learned new moves was by...honestly, he had no idea. Luck, or maybe genetics? The second part turned out to be partly true with egg moves, but that only left him with even more questions. Why did Chauffe only inherit moves from his Flareon side? And why—
Monty glanced down at his side, where Oracle padded along without a care in the world for the trainers around her.
Why did she have so many? Oracle's moves weren't just passed down by her parents—they were generational. At least that's what the breeding forum he'd tracked down by the fire last night said. At least three generations, with both of her parents being Absol according to his PokéDex.
Who did Wabash get her from? Where did they find her? There were so many questions...was he doing his partner a disservice not being able to answer them?
Through the process of getting Esther's Houndour to teach Chauffe Nasty Plot, and in truth the whole way to Ambrette Town, the gangster got enough of a mental distraction out of thinking about it that he hardly even noticed his growing fatigue. That was until—
"Spe-lunk?" Monty'd never heard the word before, but he could hazard a guess at what it meant — digging. More accurately, manual labor after a day and a half of dragging wheel-clad Esther around. He was surprised his legs hadn't already turned to jelly, or perhaps a jam of some sort, and now cave diving for ancient bones was next on the agenda?
The second part of the fossil-finding idea caught the gangster's attention, though. "Those fossils...if there's a whole lab dedicated to them they have to be worth something, no? Let's check it out." Talking moves with Esther while they were on the road also got his mind working on how to get his team to learn more of them, and the quickest option was also the priciest.
His steely eyes flickered between their other companions. "Et toi? You two up for some spe-lunking?"
