"Of course" He responded, little surprised that he has to explain this "They shed it every year. I used up all my supplies and Fefroxes in town shed they tails last autumn, and will not regrow one until spring. And since we have particularly long winter, my only chance for healing herb is to find Ferfox in the wild and hope, that he not shed its tail yet."

Taylor turns to the others. "I think we should help him, he was nice enough to help us."

"Where are you from, anyway?" He asked. "I wrongly assumed that you are from Lumenia, because you have Laton-related beast.. well exept you, young man." He looked at Taylor and Glenda. "I never saw such beast before. How it is called? Are you yet another adveturers that came to try lift the curse?" He said >lift the curse< like he do not belive in this, or it was another inside joke.

"We are in Lumenia? I've never heard about this place. I'm from the Sinnoh region."
Taylor half turns and gestures to the rest of the party. "We are all from different places. We woke up in some cave thing. It had twelve statues of pokemon that I've never seen. Now we are just trying to figure out where we are."
"Oh!" Taylor starts. "This is Glenda, my Combee. She saved my life."

Lucas took a back seat to all of the talking, he was quite the socialite on most occasons, his job as a barman help with that, but right now, with every word that the man said, his mind was tempted back into the freakout mode.
Lumenia? Beastmasters? Ferfox and Plumox?
Every foreign and otherworldly thing tugging on his panic reflex before he spoke.
"OK so you need a little help to find these beasts yes? Well ok, we find these beasts with you and you can perhaps lead us to this 'Rockcreel' and perhaps along the way answer a few other questions for us, sound ok?" he didn't know what any of the things were that he mentioned but he was getting the idea that this wasn't just another pokémon region, the mention of beastmasters gave him that impression.

"Oh, you were camping in a cave? Statues of pokemon? What is a pokemon? If you never heard about Lumenia, how in heven you ened here?" Asked man. He come reach his rucksak and pulled out smal, black pouch. He came to Sibylia and her pokemon. "I used to stack my herb in this, so it should still have smell of Ferfox. It is quite characteristic, so your Niten should follow it with ease. Now Ferfoxes hibernates through the winter in burrows, likely beneth a tree. So when your Niten find a trail, we will have to dig up some snow."

"Hmmm, it appears this world has their own terms for the things we've determined as 'Pokemon'..." Matt mulled to himself, looking from Nox... a Niten? Down to his own Beast or Pokemon or whatever. Wyck looked back up at him with those big green eyes and he smiled, this wasn't so bad. He turned back to the man offering this task to them. "I'm sure we'd be quite happy to help, I myself would be, however we do have a few questions, it seems that we're not native to this land and have somehow been brought here unknowingly, and we'd like some information about this place, if you'd be so kind."

Sibylla listened to the man and the others talk her focus mostly on the surrounding area until “We'll help you. Especially since its for medicine"
Nonetheless Sibylla then took the black pouch and turn her head to look at Nox resting on her shoulders. "You’ll have to come down now little one. We’ll need you to track this scent…” Nox stood on Sibylla's shoulders and then carefully, paw after paw, padded down her left arm and jump down to the thick snow floor. Sibylla knelt down trying to balance on the front of her feet as she held the pouch out for Nox to sniff.
“Perhaps you can tell us about Beastmasters, while we search the area? I believe we have something similar but by a different name in our homelands. Also what do you mean by curse?"

"You know, Beastmasters. People with tamed bests, like yours. They do lot of things, they use their beast abilities, sometimes to help others, sometimes for selfish reasons. And they like to duel with each other, I never quite understood why, but again I am not good with this things. I can't summon or bound a thing. We have one Beastmaster in Rockcreek, but she sets out some time ago with the caravan, to protect it." Man stand up and slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Well, about a curse. I do not believe it is the curse, but people seems to believe in that. Look at this snow. Winter in Lumenia used to last exactly one hundred days. Now it is 425 day from the first snowfall and still going."

Once Nox was done sniffing, Sibylla stood up and handed back the pouch to the old man. "It sounds like Beastmasters are very similar to the Pokémon Trainers we have back home. As for the curse it could be a poke- beast causing the weather change. Even if it was a curse, a beast would be the most likely source." After shifting her backpack on her shoulders Sibylla watch Nox, expecting him to lead the way. ".... By the way, do you know of an old Lu-Lumarian? man living near here in the mountains?"Nox's Track Perception DC 8 vcO|taYG3d6 3d6

"If it is a beast it is damn good in hiding. Lots of adventurers passed through Lumenia and return with nothing. About second question, no one lives in the mountains. There is an old temple near by, but it is empty and sometimes visited by one priest, that keeps those place from falling apart."

Lucas starts to piece things together, his mind wandering through Human fiction to think of things that link up but its all very strange and things don't add up the way he wants.
Speaking up "Well whatever the cause of the winter, I think we should head on with the task at hand of finding this beast your speaking of." He turns his head to Swift and the bunny looks back giving his best toothy smile as he relaxes in Lucas' hood "You mentioned that we may have to dig up some some, well I think Swift here might be able to help with that. Once Nox picks up the trail we can get on our way."

Matt was taking everything in, mentally taking notes of the place around them and of what the man was saying. Perhaps the old priest and the temple were in line for why they were here. Curses? Weather curses made him think of witches, would there be witches here, he pondered? Anything was possible now he thought about it, and could it get any stranger than this? Yes, yes it probably can, he reaffirmed to himself. What was it they were looking for again? "What is it we're looking for again? Like, what does the... beast look like?" and, as an afterthought, "What kind of temple was it?"

"I believe it was old temple of Laton. One of the smaller gods, guardian of flowering trees and patron of confectioners. We have priest of smaller gods in Rockcreek. He take care of temple, because hardly anyone remember or care about smaller gods."
"Beast we look for is Ferfox. It is green, quadruped, about this size" He waved at the height of the calf "and has a leaf tail. His mature form is called Plumox. Still green and quadruped, but big enough to ride on him."
Suddenly Nox run toward one of the trees, and start to yell "Nin! Nin!" at the pile of snow. Pile moved and from it jump out two pokemons in a size of a Nox.
"Well that is Cucinier." Explained the man, disappointed a little. "They are yours if you want to bind them."

Binding them... might work similarly to the capturing Pokemon, or these beasts, that'd he'd read about before, but the rules were different here, and Matt had no idea where to begin. He moved in such a way that he and Wyck could potentially get in the path of any of these Cucinier's escapes.
"If we're going to be stuck here, we may as well enhance our group, friend, we are still new to this world, and are still unsure how we were granted these Pokem- Beasts we have with us, would you be able to lend me a way to Bind them and explain now?"

"First thing you need is a binding orb. " He said. "It round and made from red crystal. I don't have any one around. But you have your beast, so you should have at least one, right?"

Lucas quickly rummages in his bag and pulls out the glass bead holding it up. "This type of thing?" His voice was uncertain, the bead he had wasn't red but he had high hopes "We all have one of these but..." trailing off he moved over to the man. Proffering the bead to the man he said "Any good?"

Man looked at glass bead. "It is a binding orb, alright." He nodded. "But this one is full. It seems like your Beast is summoned but not bound. It is in the crystal, not bound to you." Man scratched his head, thinking about something. "Beast are as spell as they are living creatures. Their double nature make them susceptible for transformations, that is why they can be turn into pure magical form. Every one with some magical power has ability to hold a certain amount of spells, depending on their power level. That can be fireballs or that can be beasts. Additional spells can be hold in written form in spell books, but summoning spell from a book takes a lot of time. What you need is to take your Beast from orb and transfer it to yourself, so your orb will be vacant again. I show you how." Man moved closer to Lucas. "What is your name, pal?" Asked, then show him how to perform a spell. All you need is to hold orb on open hand and repeat a spell that include your name somewhere in the middle. When it was finished, summoning orb glowed for a second and slightly changed color for less saturated, and become less glossy.

Lucas listened to the man as the explination began, he wasnt much for book smarts but this was weird enough to grab his attention. Once the man had finished he looked at the others and spoke "Well, all comes down to some more 'magic', imma try it out and if i can do it then i garentee you guys can."
Swift hopped onto the snow and Lucas bent down holding the bead in his palm "Ok buddy lets do this" Closing his eyes to concentrate, Lucas began the spell words that the man taught him uttering "Lucas Edge" somewhere in the middle.
