Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aden didn't take too long to get into the forest at all, looking for Blizzard. He figured he hadn't gotten too far yet. "Worried about what might happen too?" He asked Ryan.

"You say that like I've asked for all those things to happen." He said. "I'm fairly sure I didn't ask to see a Lapras and then get kidnapped by poachers." Unfortunately, Aden was adept at tempting fate. If only he could harness that... nah.

"I could try asking for stuff like that to not happen?" Aden asked, already well into the forest. And he didn't see Blizzard, at least not yet.

"That's the thing, he shouldn't have... man, this is almost like what happened at the Ruins of Alph. And yet you're getting on me for trouble. At least I don't fall off the map." However, Aden did try to rely less on his eyes. He knew what usually made up Blizzard's chi. If nothing else, it'd be different enough from the forest's usual makeup to notice.

He had to be around here somewhere... but if it came down to it, he or Ryan could probably find him by SNAG. Or so he hoped.

Good news to Aden, he wouldn't have to worry about folding some guy and tossing him to the curb. Bad news, this meant he had no idea just what was there. All he could do was quietly follow, unaware that he was gradually losing Ryan in the process too.

Just what was around here, anyway? There couldn't be anything too bad, could it? He certainly hoped not.

Aden would be found to respond to this like any sane person able to detect chi would. And one who was cautious about not causing anything. "I did upset something... It wasn't me, I swear!"

He dove and hoped the shouting mobile chi bullet of doom didn't end up aiming for a headshot. Even if it did sound joyful. Spending years with Ceramew and knowing of her joyous screams gave him plenty of experience in knowing that it could be a ploy.

On one hand, no headshot. Yay. On the other hand, a question began to nag. Most people would be lucky to run into a Lapras, though there might be a decent shot at it. Seeing the mere hint of a legendary? Luckier, make for a good story. Actually seeing one for certain? You sometimes get people like Eusine, obsessed with it to the point of no return.

Seeing two in a relatively short time period, however, meant one of two things. Either one was a regular magnet for these kinds of things, or some kind of weird karmic force was at work to see how long it'd take to reduce its new victim to a jabbering mass. Or it could just be that this was related to the unusual happenings of late.

Knowing what a Celebi looked like was something he wasn't a stranger to. Seeing one was a completely different matter. But apparently he hadn't caused anything to incur its wrath... maybe he was fine for the moment. "Um. Hi to you too? I didn't do anything to upset you, did I?" He might've been a bit stuck on the tangent.

There was a part of Aden, right then, that thought about following Celebi as it took off. There had to be a reason for it showing up and all, he figured. His more sensible side, however, liked to remind him that the last time he followed a chi source, it took him to a Lapras that kidnapped him and then got him caught by poachers.

He stood for a few seconds, weighing the choices. If he followed, he might run into the same trap. If he didn't... well, he still might fall into a trap. Or get lost in a forest, one. Eventually, he shrugged, wondering what'd be the worst thing to happen. "Hey, wait!" He spoke up before choosing to follow, keeping himself on the chi Celebi was giving off. While it was different, it didn't feel much different than the forest itself did. Just a lot stronger of a presence.
