Maria passed many trees, climbing over some trees that has fallen over and tried her best to keep a slow but steady pace."The Den lies in the Meadow, under the night stars." She reminded herself, keeping on a small dirt path that led to the large meadow that she was living at the time.
Maria stopped when she was at least a few feet from the place where the den was, getting on her hind legs to scent the area for predators and waited for Charon to catch up.
{"Smells ok, for now."} Maria said, now walking down the remaining dirt path into a wide fleid. A meadow of snow, with little flowers still in bloom and up ahead was the small cave.
As she had thought, the stars overhead shined brightly as Maria made her way across the white winter snow, and soon stopped halfway to wait for Charon.

Charon ~ level 79
Eventually Charon slowed down his pace when his feet hot cold snow, glancing for a little bit at the forest behind him. He liked the security of the trees... But he was high level, he could deal for the most part. He just didn't like unnecessary risks. The raichu gave a small smile at Maria as he approached. "{Nice place you have here.}" He informed. "{Did you find it yourself?}" He asked as he tilted his head at the flowers... Still growing in the cold eh?

Maria~ level 40
"{Did you find it yourself?}"
Maria nodded, thinking that she has to be inside the cave in order to talk and started walking toward the small cave in a slow and steady pace. She only lived here for a few days, since she loved to travel and wanted to leave today. But she changed her mind once she met Charon, thinking that it was best to wait until it was truely the right time.
Reaching the small cave, she got on all fours to sniff the area out and soon nodded to herself. "Smells good!" She thought, smiling and getting on her hind legs again, walked into the den. Her den had a small grass bed, which she had made to sleep on and she also had a pile of grass in on corner just in case. The den was large enough for two pokemon to be in but nothing more.
{"I found it while I was traveling, the snake found it first but like I said. I made sure it stayed out."} Maria spoke, quite proud of herself for keeping this place as her own. She watched Charon for what seemed like days and let out a heavy sigh. "I wonder..If.." She thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No! I douth that he even Likes me. Or does he?" Maria wondered to herself.

Charon ~ level 80
The raichu surveyed the surrounding of the cave as Maria talked. It was a small yet cozy shelter... It kept the cold out, and the dried grasses served as good nesting material. The entrance was a good size for a chu to fit through, but any larger predator would have a rough time... If something did get in, there wouldn't be much room to maneuver, but nothing was ever perfect. Overall, it was good a place to rest.
The raichu couldn't help but feel he was being inspected before his amber eyes glanced at Maria, and heard her sigh. "{Is something wrong?}" Charon asked, slightly uneasy.

Maria's ears twitched, wondering why Charon had said that and soon blinked in realization.{"No! Nothings wrong! I was just thinking about how to travel, that's all."} She replied, trying to smile and quickly looked at the ground. She couldn't really say, in fact she wasn't even sure if she liked the raichu."But then again, He is Nice.." She thought, looking up at Charon with a smile.
{"So....Where do you come from?"} She asked, her tail twitching alittle.

Charon ~ level 81
Obviously, the pikachu wasn't telling the raichu everything, but he decided to let it go. He tilted his head at her question.{"So....Where do you come from?"} Charon nodded. "{I originally came from the Kanto region... Between it and the border of Johto. I was owned by a... A few trainers in my lifetime, but became free one day. Since then, I have been traveling around... Never staying in any one place for too long. Trying to find a home I feel comfortable in... My original goal was to find a herd of chus to join.}" The raichu blinked his amber eyes and stared at Maria. "{What about you Maria? Did you grow up around here?}"

Maria~Level 41
Maria listened to the Raichu, nodding to every word he said but when he talked about to join a herd of chus. she just tilted her head."Herd of Chus? What's that?" She thought but only for a moment, as Charon asked her a question that made her ears twitch."{What about you Maria? Did you grow up around here?}" She thought for a moment, then smiled.
{"No, I lived close to the city with my little brother, pichu and my mother. My father left me when I was a pichu, so he was the only Raichu I have ever seen. But I left, knowing that mother wouldn't chase after me. Not even my brother, after all the times I save him from snakes and rattatas..."} She spoke, sighing. {"I guess some things never change."} Maria added, a small spark of light shot from her cheeks.

Charon ~ level 82
"{Don't blame her Maria.}" The raichu said sympathetically. "{I'm sure she just thought you were old enough to be on your own. As for your brother, if he is as young as you say he is, he probably shouldn't be out looking for his family members. There are plenty of things that would easily take a little pichu as prey}". Charon's whip-like tail waved lazily back and forth as the electric mouse pokemon sat down on the dirt floor of the cave.
He smiled at Maria. "{Be happy you had your time with your mother... I barely knew mine. Have no idea who my father was either.}"

"{Be happy you had your time with your mother... I barely knew mine. Have no idea who my father was either.}"
{"True."} Maria spoke, a hint of sadness in her voice but soon nodded and smiled again.{"Can I ask you something? What's a herd?"} She questioned Charon, findlly getting the thought off her mind. She had never heard of that before, not even as a pichu.

Charon ~ level 83
Charon looked mildly surprised. "{A herd is a group of pokemon that stay together. usually for protection, more availability of possible mates, and an aversion to predators. Predators that form a group are called a pack. Pokemon that don't prey on each other and group together are called a herd.}"
The raichu went on. "{I thought a chu herd would be a good place to live in... Somewhere where I would feel comfortable. I suppose that a group of chus is unheard of around here... I haven't met anybody here that could tell me where one was.}"

Maria~Level 43
{Well they would be heard of, maybe. But I was born by the city, so I really don't know."} She said, nodded. She picked up a piece of grass, looking at it for a moment before speaking again.{"Have you tried some place that, doesn't have that much danger at all. Like a grassy field or something like that?"} She placed the grass back onto her nest before looking at the Raichu again.
{A herd would be a good Idea too...since I am still a low level and..."} Maria cut herself off, thinking for a moment and nodded slowly.{"I have been thinking...maybe you and I could both look for one? So that way, both of us would be safe."} She added, quite hopeful.

Charon ~ level 84
"{Our kind would hang out in forests... Plains would make us fairly easy targets in large groups...}" Charon crossed his arms and sighed. "{I'm afraid I have not found any evidence of herds here... So I don't think there are any.}"

Maria~ Level 44
{"We can still Try!"} Maria spoke, almost yelling out her words. The small pikachu jumped to her feet, nearly hitting her head on the top of the den and made her paws look like small fists. {"We can't give up, its the same as not trying at all."} Maria added, calming down with her tail lowed to one side.
{"We have to keep trying"} She smiled, her tail lifting up until it was flat on her back.

Charon ~ level 85
Charon chuckled. "{Your very determined.}" He said with a genuine smile. "{I like that...}" He then grew serious. "{I have been checking around this area for a while though, so I don't think there is. I'll keep looking, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.}" The raichu tilted his head at Maria. "{But why do you want to go? I'm not forcing you to do anything with me.}"

Maria thought for a moment, then spoke in the most honest way with one ear tipping to one side.
{"Because...There's something about you, that makes me want to come along."} She smiled, her curve-like tail moving up and down. {"I won't say though, it would just spoil the fun!"} Maria added, laughing.
