Breathing calmly, cold grey eyes narrowing at the dark stair well, seeing past the blue tips of his black shaggy bangs. His favorite and most trusted pokemon stood at his side, the tip of the orange creatures tail lighting part of the darkness. The orange lizard-like pokemon looked around briefly before opening its mouth to speak. What came out of the pokemon wasn't it's normal tongue.
"Are we going down there?" the voice sounded natural to human ears, and it didn't seem to be speaking in mechanical tones.
"Yeah, Ryuu No Kanton. We have to make our appearance to them sooner or later." the male said, he wore blue jeans, and a tight black shirt that caused a red cloud like pendant to stand out more.
"I understand that, but do we have to?" Ryuu said in an almost whiny tone. Shadow glanced down at the charmander at his side and seen the nervous expression Ryuu showed in his eyes.
"Everything will be fine, Ryuu. Trust me." Shadow said in a calm voice that showed a hint of sensitivity.
"Oh, I trust you alright. Trust you to mess things up here." the charmander remarked, ignoring his trainers words of sweetness, and caring. Knowing better to trust his trainers words other then the eyes.
"Hey, that was uncalled for. Let me take that off you, we can't let them know you can talk." He said going back to his uncaring tone, and bored eyes that showed no traces of caring in his previous words. Shadow knelt down to take the device around the charmander's neck off.
"Good, I hate this thing." was the last Ryuu had said before Shadow had taken it away and placed it in his bag. Shadow glanced down at the stairs before taking a deep breath and started to walk his black cloak following shortly after him, causing the grey wisps of smoke on the fabric seem like it was moving on it's own. The charmander running ahead to keep the halls lit with his tail.

Shadow watched as the darkness swallowed up the only light source on top of the stairs, he turned back to Ryuu only to find that he has gone way ahead of him. Shadow started walking to catch up nearly blind to the steps, and the growing fire he was heading towards. He got closer to his companion and seen that he was looking around. They must be at the bottom of the stairs, he concluded and glanced around himself.
"Do you think you can walk further out and use ember, Ryuu?" Shadow asked as he glanced down at the little charmander. He seen the slight movement of nodding a yes as the flame started to walk out further away from his trainer. The flame stopped, and Shadow waited for the erupting fire that should come out of the fire type. But nothing happened. The flame suddenly turned around, and the silhouette of charmander started to make its way back towards him. The pokemon stopped just beside him, and tugged lightly on his jeans, asking Shadow to follow him. What could he do but do what his pokemon wanted?
He followed and glanced around a bit, glad for the darkness for once. Stopping when Ryuu stopped, the pokemon gave a sharp growl, followed by ember.
"Was that really necessary?" Shadow asked, and heard a simple growl, he suspected that his charmander was rolling its eyes but didn't say anything more as the two waited.
