"Heh, that sounds like something the old man would-- eh?"
Broken from the not-really-annoyed musing over his father's intentions for the island, the younger man turned his eyes towards where his partner pointed. He crinkled his nose, watching Rat tug at something stuck under a thorny, but otherwise unremarkable bush. With a sigh, he pushed himself up from his perch on the large root, crossing the clearing to see what the little, well, rat had gotten up to.
"Hey, the fuck ya got there?"
It wasn't just the rattata, as Ran was also nearby, sniffing with apparently great interest at the rodent's find, though the latter seemed disinclined to give it up. He even chittered angrily as Daryn attempted to see what it was, though that just resulted in an agitated crunch of the brows as the trainer reached down to scoop the feisty rattata up. What resulted was a surprisingly loud squeak of anger and whipping of tail as Rat protested mightily against the intrusion.
"H-Hey! What th-- calm down!"
Daryn wobbled, then dropped his pokémon on the ground - although not before snatching the apparently amazing vine out from under the thorns and ripping it upward, away from the interested pair. Both Rat and Ran began to paw at his jeans, and he crinkled his nose as he held up his prize - a plump, if slightly ... wilted vine, too thick to be a normal plant, but definitely ... related to flora, anyway. It smelled quite pleasant, actually, probably inciting the rowdy pair, but...
"Ew, is that-- Louie, you know plant shit, right? Is this a fucking tangela vine? You guys really wanna eat this?"
