To Genki, there was a clear line between friend and food, though that did not necessarily have to line up with species lines. This of corse did not apply to people; despite how much you disliked a person, there was no point at which that made them food. Ewww. "If we can get to the river easy enough, we should try our hand at some fishing, it's a good idea. Though, we don't want to burn more calories getting to food than the food provides itself. Time is a factor as well."

Aiden looked down at the Pokémon gathered around them, he would never be able to eat a Pokémon. No matter how desperate he became, he would never eat his friends. Maybe I'm not cut out for this, he thought as he started to follow Genki. "Come on everyone, let's go find the river," smiled Aiden as he motioned to the Pokémon to follow. "If anything, the three of us can go for up to three weeks without food, though we would need water to help make it. It varies for the Pokémon." Aiden seemed kind of glum while walking behind the others, his eyes surveying for the river.

Genki's tummy grumbled at the thought of three weeks without food, "Pokemon journeys aren't supposed to be easy, besides, adversity builds character."

"True, but if we can't find a way to find food, this may be a short trip for a lot of people. There is one more problem that I was thinking of... even if we get up the mountain to a spot to put the pad, we don't have a way to power it so we can get back to town. We'll have to hike back," said Aiden in passing while he looked back at the mountain. "We can do this. Just have to believe in a little luck and skill."

Bolstered by Aiden's words he nods, "Right, that's another thing to focus on, and ally that can power this thing." He hefts his bag and continues confidently, "we're going to find food, we're going to make it to that mountain, and we are going to make it back to town!" There were already plenty of stories he wanted to share with his parents and friends, encountering the bugs, meeting Ursaring, maybe not the falling in the river part.

Clearly Genki's stomach controlled his sense of direction, all he could think was that there was food nearby somewhere, and that he needed it if he was going ot manage to get anywhere near to the river. Sadly, that meant that he couldn't actually work out where the river would be.
Aiden was more successful, though that wasn't really any more heartening. Based on the landscape around, the river would be at least half a day away, and even then they couldn't be certain that they were travelling in the right direction at all! He knew that if they could find it, then they would have a good chance of food or even travel, but if they couldn't...
Meanwhile, the rumbling continued ahead of them, closer to the mountains, at a steady and even pace.

Genki examined the trees around him, 'it must be this way, we need to go past that tree. Or is that tree this tree...' There trees began to look the same and he began to feel hopelessly lost. "I- don't know, I think we might be screwed here."

"Okay... so good news, we're at least a half day from the river. Bad news, I can't tell which direction to head in. If we can get to the river, then we're more than likely going to find some food. But, if we head in the wrong direction it would be rough for us to try and head the other direction..." Aiden looked at the brothers. "You both have a Pokémon that can fly? Maybe it could help us find a direction to head?" He sighs, trying not to sound defeated, but... "We could also try and make for the mountain, see if we can spot the river from it."

They discussed the options, the potential routes that they could take. Whichever the trainer stook, they would need to make a choice and soon, or else they might spend the whole day doing very little and not actually getting anywhere, something that would be even more dangerous!

"The mountain is our best bet at this point... we can make it there before dark and use the height to see the river. The river may also start on the mountain and could have a pond of lake that we could utilize." Aiden sighs and looks back towards the mountain. "What do you say guys?"
Moving towards the mountain and not paying attention, Aiden trips over a root that was slightly raised and lands in a bush. He lets out a sigh and gets up to dust himself off. "Sorry, so onto the mountain?"

"You OK? these roots have been here long enough, they are likely to win in a fight." Seeing Aiden pick himself up, he seemed fine. "Best we get moving then."
Genki steps over the root and keeps hoofing it towards the mountain.

The trainers began to move towards the mountain once more, entering the sparser, more rocky areas in the foothills or root area of the mountain. The rumbling, consistent and ever-present, continued as they did so, becoming more powerful as they headed closer and closer. In fact, now it was an actual vibration under their feet, in the bark of the trees, and even, ever-so-slightly, in their chests. A gentle throbbing occurred at intervals, an extra vibration on top of the the rumbling piece beneath.

"If we keep moving, we should hopefully get to the mountain before whatever is making those vibrations makes its presence known." hustling a little faster, Aiden hoped to close the distance between them and the mountain before the vibrations became too much.

Genki placed his hand under his chin a few times playing with the vibrations. "This place sure is alive, whatever it is, we may just be headed towards it." He sped up to keep pace with Aiden, noting the effects the rumbling is having on the vegetation.

As they sped forwards, they realised that the rumblings were actually getting more intense, louder, and the extra vibrations on top were even stronger. In fact, after a few short metres, they realise dthat actually, these sounds might well be the sounds of something rhythmic- and certainly closer to the mountains than they currently were, though, if they pressed on, through a small stand of trees that almost made an entryway, they would be there momentarily.

Keeping his pace, Aiden makes a break for the treeline archway. Thinking quickly he tried thinking of what kind of Pokémon tended to have rhythmic movements while tunneling.

"Tree line seems to end up ahead-" Aiden bursts ahead, "hey wait, we don't know what that is yet, and we're headed straight for it!"
Not used to second guessing taking action, he threw in the towel and tried to keep up. His concern was, they would be having company soon. The trembles in the ground could come to a crescendo and Genki wanted to be ready if they did.

Aiden and Genki burst forwards, running, straight into the clearing beyond. They were shocked by what they saw- what appeared to be a full two metre stage, raised on metal pillars, and mounted with two huge speakers. Standing on either side were two bipeds with giant mouths and a pair of saucer-like ears who were only adding to the noise level that was coming out of the speakers. Just behind the stage, a pikachu fired blasts of energy into the speakers, giving them the power that they clearly needed as a human on-stage rocked with an electric guitar.

Walking towards the stage, once the adrenaline wore off from running through the trees. Aiden will wave at the human on stage with a large smile. Hopefully they had food to spare?
"Hello! calls Aiden, trying to be heard through the music.

'This is not at all what I was expecting.'
Still a bit shocked to see what looked like a rock concert at the base of the mountain, though with out an audience he figured it was more of a rehearsal, Genki studied the mouth agape pokemon. Genki walked up beside Aiden barely hearing what he was saying, more likely they would be seen before heard.
