There were times where he had to end up in a mall, not very often though, but the skating rink was full of people. As he and Ezra headed to the booth, the young woman working there was really mesmerized with Ezra. \n\n\"Size 10,\" Saul scoffed. He narrowed his eyes at the girl who called one of them 'miss' at least that's how he processed it. Now he could see that Ezra may be leaned towards the fenimine side but he was still a boy nonetheless and so was Saul! \"For your information, we are both *Men.* The only 'miss' here is you, **Miss.**\" He placed his elbow at the counter pointing at the girl and glaring.

She looked around and noticed a booth and the area was pretty empty so why not? Caitlin smiled softly and spoke again, \"Cynthia if you even are here I can get you some snacks if you want? I can make a quick stop at Undella and drop them off.\" The blue eyed woman's soft voice came to a silence patiently waiting for a response. She might not say it but she's always looked up to Cynthia ever since she was a frontier brain. Darach took her to meet the champion one day and they got along swell for the most part. Cynthia really fuled her love for battling, she's like a big sister to her and she couldn't be more grateful yet like siblings Cynthia does annoy her sometimes but that's not a big deal. \n\nCaitlin rarely spoke much with others, that's a given but Cynthia some how always managed to get her to speak more even laugh sometimes.

Caitlin was an adorable little sister to her and she wouldn't change her for anything. Perhaps their meeting in the Battle Frontier was a fateful encounter, and it was something Cynthia was glad that happened.\n\nA rustling of papers, chair screeching backwards, and a disturbance in the wind could be heard from Cynthia's end.

She flicked her tail and kept her head his as she circled the stool Colbi sat at."

"message": "The young man had decided to go out for a small evening stroll along the beach and down to the boardwalk, giving his Pokemon plenty of time to work out the last of their energy along the way before they all turned in to their room for the evening. Sableye was the worst offender of the bunch; an untamed goblin in it's rawest form. Even years in the Battle Maison didn't tame him. Salem tossed little gemstones to the side haphazardly for his friend, the Pokemon catching it in his mouth each time; little scraps of whatever Salem could muster with his money that night seemed to keep his friend content. \n\nUntil the little pouch ran dry just as they hit the boardwalk, where there was enough people bustling about to catch the Sableye's eye. Salem tried to quickly scoop Sableye up into his arms while trying to avoid the dangerous claws, but it was a fruitless endevor. The Sableye wiggled free with ease and ran down the boardwalk, startling people who avoided those claws and teeth. Salem took a moment to recall everyone from his team besides his little Pumpkaboo and down the boardwalk he sprinted, apologizing to all the people as he went. \n\nAs Salem caught up with his 'mon, the Sableye was trying to slip his grubby fingers into the pocket of a poor sushi bar goer. When the woman at the bar realized that the gemstone gremlin had his claws down in her pocket, she seemed calm with trying to shoo the Pokemon away, thankfully. It did nothing in stopping Sableye from grabbing her phone for himself, just as Salem dived and grabbed the Sableye. The young one stood up, pried the phone safely from Sableye's grasp, and handed it back to the woman with a deep bow; as deep of a bow as he could get with a flailing Sableye. With the Sableye in his grasp now, he produced the second to last Pokeball and recalled him back into it, taking a moment to breathe as the Pumpkaboo curiously hovered around."

He shook his head in dismissal \"Tsk tsk tsk\" Nanu's Sableye eye, in turn, tilted her head in confusion, he looked over and noticed a fellow Sableye which excited her greatly. The little purple pokemon cried out with excitement which had Nanu quietly 'shush' her, he cocked his head and spoke to Salem indirectly. \"You need to tame that gremlin of yours, it's a danger to everyone if it's acting like that.\" He took a drawn-out sip of his sake before turning to Salem, his red eyes glared at the young man. \n\n\"I was having a nice and quiet meal but so happens your little one there decided to ruin it for me,\" Nanu smirked and looked over to his Sableye and nodded his head. \"She is a prime example of a tame Sableye, not one that's stealing from the public. That little one's actions can land you in some deep water, kid.\" Nanu pointed at his Sableye as she sat there calmly. The grey-haired man reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, he flipped it open and showed Salem his shiny police badge on the inside of the wallet. \"And that deep water can be me, I recommend getting a leash for that thing or something.\" Nanu was saying this all from his seat, he barely moved and only made eye contact briefly. Nanu shoved his wallet back into his pocket and began to eat his meal again rather unbothered looking."

He flashed a little smile to the polite Sableye and even gave it a cute little wave. When Nanu spoke, though, he turned his gaze to the man. \"You'd think a few years in the Maison who've done him in, but he was always so crazy.\" He murmured, then bowed to Nanu in apology. \n\nWhen the badge was flashed, though, he tilted his head. \"You're one of the Kahunas. The old guy who lives in the old police station. I visited Alola once, when I was younger; beautiful place. I even nabbed myself a Mimikyu there.\" As he spoke and without hesitation, Salem pulled out his own wallet and dug around in it, producing some money and setting it on the bartop. \"Here. I'll pay for your meal since my little goblin ruined it for you.\" Salem's Pumpkaboo seemed to be especially curious about the nice, tame Sableye at Nanu's side, since she was only used to the crazy, wild Goblin Boy. Pumpkaboo gave out a tiny little cry to the new friend. \n\n\"You know, I admire you a lot. I had my own little ghost thing going in Hoenn; they're fascinating, but I just can't seem to understand Sableye. How'd you do it, mister?\" Salem seemed to suddenly say that, deciding to help himself to the barstool next to the empty one by Nanu, leaving that open space between them. \"He's got sticky fingers like you wouldn't believe.\" It seemed Salem had forgotten his manners a bit, bothering the older man with relative ease."

I'm younger than Hala by a lot ya know.\" Nanu's tone was laced with some bitterness but the man took another swig of his sake and smirked. \"I can't say no to an offer like that. Thanks, I guess.\" The man got the waitress to come over and take the money placed on the counter. \n\nSableye cried back to the pumpkin pokemon and spun around in small circles, it seemed she was inviting the ghost type to play with her. The little one even hopped up and down excited at the chance of getting to meet a new pal, she twitched a bit but that was just natural for a Sableye. The twitching that is. Nanu nearly choked on his rice when Salem said he admired him, Nanu's eyes widened and his mouth agape. \"Huh? You admire me? ...Me? Out of all the Kahunas, I'm the one you look up to? Why not look to... Oh I don't know, Olivia, Hala, hell even Hapu.\" Nanu pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, he looked straight at Salem with his expressionless eyes \"Why not pick a better role model, kid?\" Nanu was quiet for a moment then he spoke again \"I see, kinda like Acerola then.

Just as her words flowed like a stream, so did her movements as she took a seat. They were devoid of tension or worry, confident in their ability. Unlike the patron next to her, she took no time to decided what to eat. Her hands simply abducted whatever plate was in front of her. \"In fact,\" She spoke once more as she placed the platter on the counter, \"If I didn't know any better, Id say you're about to burst into song.\" The woman gave out a hearty laugh characterized by the depth of her voice but also by the innate delicateness that encompassed it.\n\nWithout any hesitation, Florence took a bite of her randomly chosen sushi. \"Oh,\" She mustered with a hand placed on her check. \"Oh yeah this is makin' it all come together,\" Her voice fluctuated between tones of giddiness and serene composure. However, she couldn't hide the fact it truly was magnificent. Whenever something pleased her, Florence with slightly swing her head back. This caused her hair to bounce like azure curtains of smoke, perfectly smooth in shape yet erratic in their bounce. To the surprise of no one, a small Mawile sat next to her. The little steel creature had a boisterous selection of platters at his command, ready to be devoured by his gluttonous rage. While Florence sparked conversation, he was busy devouring his platters like a competitive diner. To him, there was no time to conjure words of delight. There was only time to consume. However, despite his ravenous being monstrous, Mawile would look as cut as a button as he ate."

A small chuckle escaped her as she returned to a more calm and collected stance. She scanned the conveyer belt, gently reaching for her own glass of tea. \"Normally I'd pair this with some nice, bitter, and earthy booze,\" She spoke as she raised the cup to her lips, blowing it with gentility that contraste her words. \"But Im sure I've teaser you enough for today so Ill hold off for now. Don't wanna give you heart attack,\" She flashed him a smile before she indulged herself in the flavor of her beverage. Mawile was too busy to notice the looks that his food consumption warrant but Florence preferred it that way.

It's really not that spicy at all~ just a small kick.\" She exclaimed, adjusting her sleeves and cupping her face a bit as she noticed the phone. \"Oh, whose is this?

Its charming windows, adorned with flowers and pots, displayed a poster of a woman shyly posing beside a Flapple. It read, \"Today only! Meria's Sanflorian delights!\" Meria, assisted by cafe staff, greeted guests as she dished out various platters lined with baked delights from her hometown. \"Bienvenidos!\" She exclaimed to new patrons as she served a plate of pastelillos, golden perfection filled with guava and topped with powdered sugar. Other treats include budin, raisin bread with the consistency of flan, and quesitos, a puff pastry glazed with baked honey and sugar. The aroma of coffee permeated the air far more than usual. That, of course, was courtesy of Meria's special coffee blend. Much like other cafes in her hometown, Meria's coffee had a strong and highly aromatic quality to it. Meria seemed happy with the reception, though a flush of red smeared itself across her cheeks. She loved to bake but could never get used to so many people in one place. Meanwhile, Mermelada, her Flapple, slept on the countertop. Many customers, recognizing the draconic apple, took the sleeping creature as a photo op!"

Accustomed to their line of work, the Combo family washed and dried their hands before any food preparation could begin. \"Bien,\" Meria kneeled to face Maushold, \"Mr. Combo will work on fetching the ingredients and Mrs. Combo will be on bread toasting duty.\" She turned to look at Combo Jr., who was hiding behind his parents. \"Combo Jr. Will go with Mrs. Combo as usual.\" \"We're making a Master Ham Sandwich, extra large!\" Meria smiled and rose from her station, signaling the Combo family to get to work. Before anyone knew it, the Maushold had already completed their task. Before Meria was an array of ingredients and freshly toasted bread that she, as any baker would, baked herself. First, she spread a light smattering of mayonnaise and mustard, topped with a salty Herba Mystica. Then she carefully placed the filling. The ham was served first, followed by the prosciutto and delicately topped pickles and jalapenos. \"Que cosa mas linda!\" Meria expressed her joy by cupping her cheeks as she beamed a smile.

Meria heard Cinder call her a waiter, which caused her a bit of confusion. The guest didn't seem to notice the event that had her face plastered on posters. Nevertheless, Meria wasn't one to fret over titles and stations. She did believe that waiters are a vital part of any establishment. Brushing those thoughts aside, Meria intercepted a waiter who was on his way to give the guest their order of drinks. \"I'll take it from her, mi amor,\" Meria said, smiling warmly. \"Someone seemed to enjoy their food,\" Meria said with bright cheeriness in her voice as she placed the drinks on the table. Upon closer inspection, the guest seemed familiar to Meria. It wasn't too easy to remember who she thought it could be, though. After all, Meria was on an island where she met celebrities on a daily basis. After a quick thought, Meria landed on the idea that this guest reminded her of someone she saw in a movie that she had watched with her cousin. \"Are you a movie star by any chance?\" Meria inquired, her head curiously cocked to the left."

A bit of recoil from the Tera Orb, but he'd use it before Garganacl jumped right off the wagon. The result? Well now there was a big salt golem menacingly floating along the race thanks to some crystalline balloons, soon to use Iron Defense to make itself all the more menacing.

The Starwagon was soon to a stop, through force or othrwise. Thiago...

"message": "After a long, arduous journey of navigating through the increasingly steep and dangerous cliff since before the sun even began to cast its rays onto the island, the brunette basked in its glory upon reaching her destination which overlooked the ocean. With light refracting from the surface of the water, and the high-tide waves crashing the gray rocks that served as the basis of the towering ground she stood on. Caves formed from storms and the like weren't in full view, yet the gorgeous backdrop this landscape provided was nothing short of breathtaking. Putting an arm above her head to shield her eyes for a moment, Irene settled down, soon thereafter crossing her legs as she took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp salt air. \n\nWhy was she even there in the first place? Simple, she was looking for a reclusive spot to unwind, away from the bustling activities usually found in Sigville and further off being confined to her room in the mansion, some fresh air was in order! With the brunette's silky-smooth hair swaying elegantly wherever the gentle breeze decided to blow, it finally began to fully cascade onto her back as the passing wind came to a halt.\n\n-\n\nSetting her signature cap on her side, she slowly wore her headphones, making sure that it sat comfortably above her head before deciding to fiddle on her phone to pick a track. A few elapsing moments later, her phone found its way back into her pocket once again. Brushing her palms together, it was time for relaxation. Humming a rather upbeat melody, her body rocked back and forth as the lush instrumentations of the song she played fully held a vice grip on her hearing, her delicate fingers now drummed against her knees. Practically, she was in her own world until she felt something on her lap. Looking down, her playful gaze watched as a baby azurill let out a joyful cry! \n\n\"𝅘𝅥𝅮 I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flower shop, everyone has their favorite kinds but they're all pretty. La la la~ 𝅘𝅥𝅮\""

Despite adorning her dress shirt and dress pants, clothing that are more fitted for the indoors, that wasn't any restriction to her who specializes ground types anyway. So. It wouldn't matter if some parts of her were sprinkled wet from the ocean's waters that crashed the cliff side. Even climbing its steep terrain, those waves reached high enough to soak the socks in her oxfords. Maybe she shouldn't have had a walk in the beach in such wear, but the sunny white sands weren't much different from Paldea—not that she frequent there either without something casual. Her head is probably still in that \"Job-mode,\" Ready to go back to the elite four's building, snap on her glasses and get interviewing. Geeta does things to a person, lightheartedly thought by Rika herself.\n\nIt's dangerous. The rough waters constantly hitting this cliff, pretty much a rock jutting over the ocean, gave the impression it could break off just like that. Daring though, Rika made herself toward the edge. Ah. At first she thought it was a rock, the gleam from the sun blinding her so her hand hovers above her face, but it was a person over there. She wasn't alone. Well, it would be more surprising if she was. Considering this was a big island, every spot should be taken! As good a time as any, she came forward, humming, stomping her feet to make her presence known. Nothing too disturbing in case the other person are in their own little world. Or, to not cause such a surprise that *She'd* Slip from it.\n\n*A gal.*\n\nThat brown hair whipping up and around her shoulders from the stranger made Rika want to act. One step forward—but then she stopped after hearing the lyrics that came from the female's voice. \"Cute.\" She takes her place next to this brunette, squatting down before sitting completely. Rika hopes her sudden entrance wasn't too uncalled for. \"Singing in a place like this, how can you hear yourself?\" At first looking forward, toward the ocean, Rika's\n\nEyes then turn to meet the person's next to her. \"Name's Rika.\" A smile spread her lips. \"Need a hair tie? You wouldn't be able to keep singing if that hair of yours keeps getting in it.\" Assuming the baby Azurill is her's, the ground-type specialist waves at the small creature and offers her hand for a trust tap. It came out looking like a handshake!"

"message": "Cognizant of her surroundings, Irene's sharp hearing had immediately picked up on the footsteps that trailed behind her. If they even thought about being sneaky then they were obviously doing a sloppy job at it. As she kept caressing the wild Azurill that had begun to lay comfortably on her lap, her eyes were fixated on the ground type specialist as she squatted down, taking a seat right by her side. All the while, her delicate index reached down towards the water-type's chin, stroking it until the baby Pokémon had begun to doze off, lulled at the tune of the song she quietly sang.\n\n\"𝆕 Everyone has their favorite kinds, but they are all pretty and mighty fine. Without competing, they were standing straight up, proudly inside their buckets. So why do we have to compare ourselves to one another? 𝅘𝅥𝅯 \"\n\nSave to say, the musician wasn't distracted by the elite four's presence, far from it. Rather, spending time with someone in such a pleasant morning could probably be described as euphoric. Holding a finger to her lips followed by a rather coy wink, she would purposefully leave the elite four member in suspense before pointing downwards towards the Azurill, who was almost fast asleep at this point, hoping they would catch the hint. Seeing as how they were courteous enough to introduce herself, Irene returned the favor in kind as soon as she felt the stillness of the blue mouse.\n\n-\n\n\n\"It's for this little fella's sake, it seems as though they're lost.\" She succinctly explained in a quiet whisper, toying with a lock of her hair before tucking it behind her ear. After all, if Azurill was the only one listening to her, then she didn't see the need to hear her own voice being masked by the sounds of waves crashing and the like. With her eyes still in direct contact with the ground specialist's own. With the brunette's expression brightening up, she admired Rika's handsome complexions if only for a moment. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder what someone else was doing here, did they also feel entrapped back at the mansion? Perhaps the musician will know in due time.\n\n\"Irene, a pleasure to meet your acquaintance.\" Returning the favor with a warm smile of her own and jerking her thumb towards chest, the brunette introduced herself to the much taller trainer before chuckling under her own breath at their kind offer, giving a somewhat exaggerated dismissive wave of her hand.\n\n\"A hair tie is good and all, but a ponytail wouldn't look as good on me as it would on you, even if it's a little more practical.\" As she was about to reject Rika's kind offer in a rather bemused fashion, the water type's expression immediately filled up with glee at the sight of another human, nuzzling against Rika's hand as she offered her hand. It was no longer sleepy! Looking up once again at the blue sky above, she straightened her back.\n\n-\n\n\"Out for a brisk walk I take it? Not many people would choose a cliff as their first destination, you know. I take it you're a hiker of some sort? Or maybe a wandering trainer seeking strong foes! Or maybe you're just like me.\" There was a form of harmless mockery in the tone she used to inquire before jerking her head once more in the direction of Rika, knowingly leaving that last part a mystery. Her eyes now falling towards the obsidian necktie the ground type specialist wore. Without so much as a word, Irene immediately moved her hands towards said necktie, tightening & fixing it in a moment's notice. Perhaps it was some sort of maternal instinct kicking in, or perhaps this was her way of being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Either way, the musician never cared for the repercussions of her own actions, and this was one such instance.\n\n\"Aaaaaaand done!\""

"author": "Rika ",
"message": "That gesture with the female, along with Rika's peripheral, she gives an inaudible \"Ohh\" At the realization that the blue round Pokémon Azurill have been lulled to sleep. It was a wonder that it could fall asleep in such an intense area, with the waves crashing on the cliffside which could be mistaken as earthquakes. On the other hand, there was something hypnotic about it. The constant repetition, despite its loud sound can get some to sleep. And possibly because of the brunette and her singing voice. At the mention of the Azurill, that's *Not* Her Pokémon then. Being a baby, you'd think it'll be more cautious and only trusting of its mother than another species, a trainer to be precise. Rika somehow had an eye for that. She can tell the potential bubbling in someone, beginner trainers usually. But this one, despite her young exterior, has gotten years of experience. The confidence she protrude and the skill she has with caring a Pokémon. Who is this woman? And why does she seem faintly familiar to Rika?\n\n\"Irene?\" The word mixed around her mouth as if it's something foreign to say. She was trying to recall \"Irene.\" While her head was almost in clouds herself, the attention from the Azurill brought her back to the present and the blue orb Pokémon cried out as Rika herself gave it head rubs in return. What's this? Irene seems like quite the flatterer. She'd have herself beat if this keeps up, although, that was thought in amusement! True, Irene's long hair gusted by the wind caught the sunlight good, reflecting them and making the strands almost a gold color. It's better they're fluttering free like that. Now for Rika's reason to be here... Was this really a particular reason that she needs to name it? All that the other have suggested could fit the bill. But while Rika loves battle, she doesn't actively look out for it unless suggested and provoked. She kept her battling usually in the elite four building, so as to hide her techniques. Usually, her wandering is\n\nTo scope out for potential trainers she'd run in for interview in the future. Maybe a little farcical teasing, but that's all. Before Rika could respond, the last option guessed made her raise a brow before chuckling from the mystery of it.\n\n\"Like you? In what sense? That I can perfectly sing despite the surrounding sounds?\" She wasn't by all means a bad singer, but not good enough to keep calm and stay melodious. Usually people need to hear themselves to keep their tone in check but Irene—even if it's just for the Azurill's ears—managed to sing so beautifully. Before Rika can elaborate any further, the sudden fix of her tie surprised her more than it should. Her words crack in her throat, paused from the sudden action. When it was completed, Rika stayed silent for a moment before tipping her head, a smirk on her face. She messes with the bangs on her forward, a sign of her nervousness, and attempt at appearing the cool cat. \"Why, thanks~\" She said in fake grandiose but she genuinely meant the appreciation. The last time someone fixed her tie for her, it was her parents and now the ground-type specialist, as her first time in forever, felt self-conscious in case anything else was crooked and out of place. Wanting to get back to the topic at hand, she clears her throat and proceeds. \"I find myself walking around... A lot. I do it back home too. Not that I *Can't* Sit still, but when your job requires you to sit down almost most of your day, you want to get some moving. This place-\" And she looks out toward the ocean again. \"-it looked like it had a nice breeze.\" It was a pretty simple answer. For someone who interviews other trainers, she didn't have much reasons herself. \"And hey, I was bound to meet someone too.\" She winks. \"That's also mainly part of my walks.\"\n\n_ _\nSatisfied enough with what she's given for now, she asks Irene in return. \"What are you doing up here? I *Know* It's not 'cause you're self-conscious of your singing.\" Meanwhile, the Azurill was off Irene's lap, bouncing happily around as the two conversed, a little bit out of control with its small body adventuring near the edge..."

"message": "On the verge of convulsing, the musician began heartily guffawing at the out of the blue smooth compliment to her quiet singing. Though, part of it was at Rika's expense because she didn't quite catch what she meant by being similar, not that the brunette would fault them though, they'd just met after all. \"I meant adventurous with a pinch of whimsy.\" Pinching her thumb and forefinger against each other to emphasize her point, her laughter loosened up as she finally caught her breath, wiping the tears caused by her laughter from her eye. Iit was abundantly clear that she's having a swell time. Noticing how flustered they'd become after getting their necktie fixed, if only for a moment, Irene's musician lit up, keeping an inquisitive gaze on the elite four member as they expressed their gratitude and had begun explaining their reason for being there. Simply put, her curiosity was piqued!\n\n-\n\n\"Think nothing of it!\" Standing back up to her full height, the brunette picked up her signature hat, adorning it with as much grace and confidence as she always had on stage. Judging by what was said, Irene could only assume they were some sort of office worker, a bigwig as she used to call them. Yet, the presence the ground specialist had gave them an entirely different impression. The need to walk around out of force of habit was most certainly relatable, After all, the brunette does it herself to collect her thoughts more often than not, and that alone gave her some sort of impression of what kind of person the Paldean was. Stretching her arms outwards, then wide, the musician drew in a long, deep breath before exhaling. With one hand on her hip, Irene held a finger up with the other before beaming a smile towards the ground type specialist, her pearly teeth now on full display as her lips widened even further. The faint outline of wrinkles around the musician's eyes sparkling much like a star would!\n\n\"Oh shush, you're going to make me blush now!\" It was a direct response to the meeting someone comment, obviously replying to it in pure jest judging by the grin she maintained. Rather than take the time to ponder upon an answer to the Paldean, she immediately ran her mouth with the truth.\n\n-\n\n\"Well, whenever you go to some place new, you'd want to go and see everything with your own eyes, no?\" Answering the question with another, her attention immediately diverted into the bouncing Azurill, hunching her back as she scooped them up near her modest chest, practically folding her arm to keep the blue mouse in place. Despite all of this, she was deceptively attentive, perceptive was the word? \"I wanted my own, perfect little spot to stargaze come nightfall, that's the actual answer. And this place seems just right judging from the layout.\" Indeed, while the observatory is an option, nothing beats admiring the stars while in nature's warm embrace. As she was about to further explain however, the Azurill would let out yet another cheerful cry, prompting Irene to chuckle once again.\n\n\"Heh. Let's take this little fella back home first, if I had to make a wild guess they probably came from the beach! Care to keep me company?\" With that, she ambled along with Azurill in hand past the elite four member before making a sudden stop, inviting Rika to tag along for the ride, the ball was on their court now."

The place was as green as his Politoed that decided to accompany him. \n \nAs he walked around the area, he felt something...*Squishy* But didn't hesitate to move forward. Must be some kind of bug pokemon or something. That wasn't until it moved foward grumbling. It was a snake like creature, a pokemon he couldn't quite put his head through. \n\n\"Oh sorry,\" He muttered to it not being early genuine with his apology. The pokemon hopped on him attaching itself onto his leg. \"Hey you don't have to get all personal!\" He raised his voice, moving his legs back and forth hopping he didn't cause to much of a stir with the wildlife around here. This thing didn't look like it belonged in the wild."

Myung, her Venipede, lead the way as his antenna helps him navigate the forest ground. Along the way, the bug poison type Pokemon's feelers twitched upwards and halted in his skittering.\n\nHearing rustling from one of the tall grasses, the Centipede Pokemon hissed as his back arched. Walking in front of her Pokemon, Hisako inspected the source of the noise. Crawling out of the grass was a black and white ursine cub with a leaf sticking out its mouth. \"Grrrr\", the little Pancham growled as she tried to unnerve the tall human. \"Aww, you're so cute!\", the caramel skinned female crouched down and cooed. Seeing her reaction, the fuzzy fighting type looked even more furious. \"Awww! You don't have be so grouchy!\", she pampered the Pancham with a generous amount of head rubs. Feeling the ticklish touch from the human, the little bear's frown quickly faded into a smile. \n\nWhile the shiny Bisharp and Venipede scowled at the young bear, the furry creature smirked at the two. Staring her face for a few minutes, the Pancham held onto Hisako's hand. \"Oh, nay you help me find some bamboo shoots?\", the eighteen year old asked as the two foot tall ursine. Chittering, the black and white bear nodded as she pulled Hisako away. Afraid of losing his trainer, Joon placed Myung on his shoulder as he followed behind that scheming furball.\n\nExploring the forest further, the Pancham guided Hisako to a group of other Panchams. Taking a closer look at the chittering furry bunch, the Johto female noticed a familiar someone trying to wriggle off a green jelly? \"Do you need any help?\", she looked at the raven haired boy, trying to hold her laughter."

"message": "\"Help!?\" The raven haired teen shouted his voice cracking being panicked at the same time embarrassed. If anything he was more embarrassed that anyone caught him struggling to get a mere obscure creature off of him. One thing for sure is to not underestimate the size of any sort of pokemon, as he's regretted that before as a child when he first went off to his journey. \"W-Wha—No thank you AAH!\" As he tried to balance with one foot, the boy fell backwards straight onto his butt. The small green being still latching onto his leg, he wasn't sure if had gained a liking to him or it wanted something particular from him. Typically, wild pokemon aren't necessarily like this in fact they kinda just go on doing their own thing at least to Ryder's knowledge they do. As he was still grounded onto the floor he took the green thing and was about to chuck it off or at least tried to. \n\nThe small pokemon attached itself to his arm and comfortably slithered easily into the sleeve of his jacket. His eyes widening the teen shrieked out loud, retracting his arm back before it went anywhere else. Frantically, he removed his jacket completely shaking it off but boy was that green thing as stubborn as a those vinyl sticky hands that one would hurl straight at the ceiling of a wall then struggle to scrape it off. It was *That* Stubborn.\n\n\"Fine! Fine! I admit maybe I do need some help!\" Ryder tossed the jacket right onto the floor, and the little unidentifiable booger tucked itself under that sleeve. It didn't seem too bothered or hurt at all with how Ryder reacted to it. Backing away from the jacket he looked to the woman who's hair looked as soft silk and her skin resembled the color of hazelnuts. \"Miss Seamstress, uh kidding. Nice seeing you again Hisako,\" He muttered acting as if nothing happened at all. \"Don't worry about what just happened I didn't need any help.\" Peeking from the outer opening of the jacket was the little creature, it's head in an erratic bean shape and it's eyes mismatched in size."

Maybe they think the giant booger looks edible? \"Are you sure you don't need any help?\", she asked once again while trying to suppress her laughter. Feeling her mouth squiggle, Hisako couldn't help but chuckle as Ryder tried to shake off the green gelatinous creature. Usually he would keep a cool, distant exterior, but at that moment, he had difficulty trying to shake off the mysterious critter that grew fond of him. *It was a cute display of affection!*\n\nSeeing the boy act this way, the Panchams, Bisharp and Venipede guffawed at him. *The little noises they made sounded so adorable!* Once the mess between the Kanto boy and the snake-like gelatin settled down, so did the Pokemon around them. Now, they just stared at the leafy colored creature with hungry eyes. Even Joon and Myung was curious what it tasted like. \"It's nice to see you too Ryder\", Hisako wiped off the tears from eyes as she was trying to compose herself.\n\nPulling out a cell phone from her bag, she took a picture of this strange irregularly shaped bean. *Maybe Luke can figure out what this little one is?*, the eighteen year old texted her cousin before returning her attention to Ryder. \"Do you know what Pokemon this is? I haven't this one until now\", Hisako tilted her head at him, wondering if the tiny jelly creature belonged to Ryder."

"message": "\"No clue, but the dumb thing isn't even mine for Phione's sake,\" Ryder muttered looking at the creature which rested on the sleeve of his jacket. Hearing the laughter come from Hisako's pokemon, the wild ones and even his own Politoed it was enough to shoot bitter looks at all of them. At least it wasn't people, and at least it was someone he knows. Still tucked under the sleeve the green jelly like pokemon looked up at Ryder, staring at him with forgiving eyes. Instead of returning that mutual affection, Ryder glared down at it, not too fond about the mishap he's had with it. No he didn't hate them, he just wasn't particularly fond of it. \n\n\"Anyways,\" He scratched the back of his head, kneeling down at the pest. It looked like it was observing his hand for a moment, then hopped onto it. \"Hey do you want it?\" He asked trying to scrape the thing onto Hisako's shoulders. \n\nDispleased, the pokemon jumped off of the young woman and latched itself once again back onto Ryder's foot. \"Stupid thing,\" He grumbled. Backing away from Hisako he kicked it off as if it was a soccer ball, launching it right at Bisharp's face. \"Score. Kinda sorta, but that'll do. Once again, you can keep it if you want.\" The teen shrugged, as the pokemon's body hit right at the face of the blade pokemon. Grumbling, the pokemon walked back to Ryder. \"Ohh come on!\""

As the female was monitoring the flame, the poison-bug type skittered towards Ryder. \n\n\"Pweeee!\", the Venipede screeched at the Kanto teen to get his owner's attention. \"Hmm?

Not wanting to get within the radars of the richies around here, Raihan thought it was best to settle down at a designated area for camping. \"I'm such a goody two-shoes~\" He hums to himself, his hands placed in his pockets as his nose is rose up to the sky. He's not walking on a trail, rather, through the growth. If he tripped... It'll really be timber from how tall this man stood.\n\nA fire came within view and the smug grin on Raihan's face brightened up. *\"Someone's camping here?

The flames from the campfire dance across his face, making his facials appear a bit hideous to the usual handsome man such as himself. \"Were you a stowaway? Snuck on here?\" Shame on Raihan.

As the moon had risen, casting a pristine glow over the grounds below, and the trees swayed gently in the wind, the two had *Finally* Arrived, and the plan could begin... All they needed to do was talk to each other, simple enough, and until then, Allister just sat himself in a tall tree on the edge of the clearing and watched. In his arms was Moon, receiving gentle pats on the head while her trainer observed. She would not be part of this plan, since he'd kind of failed to find another mimikyu on the island, so her showing up out of nowhere would seem out of place. The same went for Star, Empress, Arcana, Chariot, and Hermit, though he hadn't even bothered to show. Dreamer could have a place in the plan, and since he requested, Allister was definitely going to give it to him.\n\n*\"Now?\"* He heard a chorus of ghastly voices ask, and gave them all the same little headshake. \n\"N-no...

Obstagoon gave a grunt right before Raihan stumbled over to them. So *That's* What got Piers so dazed and acting weird? He knew it too; the scent was spot on. \n\"Raihan,\" Piers gasped; it was very soft. *Hold it, just because Rai sounded like that didn't mean he should forgive him immediately!* When he turned around, he looked up to the tall man. There he was, looking down at him with those beautiful blue eyes. Piers tried his hardest to keep his gaze down but it just didn't work. He opened his mouth but then closed it. He crossed his arms and looked up to him, tilting hos head ever so slightly to the side. It wasn't like he meant it but, the moonlight hit his face and shined on his eyes just a little. He was waiting. \n\"...Anytime tonight, Rai.\" He spoke, letting out a breathless chuckle."

That familiar warmth and his scent is enough to make Raihan's knees go weak. He had the words, but he couldn't say it at the moment. Instead, his whole body gestures show that he missed Piers.

The way Raihan practically threw himself onto Piers, holding him as if he hadn't for a lifetime. He missed him... Raihan missed him so much. It couldn't have been more than what, two hours. And yet Piers understood how it felt. He was holding on and he wasn't letting go, was he. Piers stood there, body as limp as a ragdoll as he Raihan clung to him. With Raihan so close to his ear, he didn't have to speak louder than a whisper to hear those words. There they were. That's exactly what he wanted to hear. His own heart was able to relax, even though Raihan's was still beating like there was no tomorrow. Eventually Piers brings his arms up. His arms wrap around Raihan's waist, pulling him in just that much more. \n\"Mhm, I know.\" He just couldn't *Help* Being smug for a second. He rubbed Raihan's back. \"You're fine, I ain't mad at ya anymore.\" Piers felt the urge to peck his cheek; but did he deserve it? Mmm...

For once, he had the upper hand in something. He nodded when hearing his compromise. Well, that was a start.

He didn't doubt it, but it was still difficult sometimes. He wanted to say them back. Eventually he would. He nodded silently after. Oh, did he...?

He guessed it was his turn now. He moved forward, his lips now brushing past his... Ear. \n\"Nice try.\" He whispered, smirking just a bit. \"But not yet.\" \nHe puts a finger up to Rai's lips. Piers was the farthest thing from upset with the man right now, but he wasnt *Quite* At the point where they could seal this with a kiss. He gave him a soft peck on the cheek instead.

It rang out, the sound of a bell, casting an eerie silence over the forest once it had died down. Long moments passed before another *Ding*... Then once again, the sound disappeared, leaving the two men alone in the dark. A cold breeze blew over the clearing, pulling the grass into a crescent shape that followed its gale, and rustling the leaves.\n*Ding*... There it was again. That haunting little bell. Barely a breath for quiet this time, as the loud *CAW* Of a bird pierced the silence. Now getting colder, the wind started to pick up, blowing the trees which now looked like black silhouettes of witches and monsters dancing the night away!\n\n*Ding, ding, ding* The bell went. Three times at once as the air became colder still, causing shivers to run down spines. From the trees, in a place unknown to the two, a low, quiet moan could be heard. \n*Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding* Again, more and more ringing. This time with barely a breath in between. The forest now so cold that people's breath were a visible fog, and the dew on grass froze. \nAnd then... Was it over? Through the frigid temperature and the blowing winds, the noise had seemed to stop...\n\nBefore exploding in a chaotic mess of the ringing bell, now louder than initially thought possible, the gusts of wind that nearly tore the trees from the ground, and the distant moaning of someone on the brink of death. On, *And on*, ***And on***, **It went, until!**\n\nIt stopped-\n...\n\nThere was no wind.\nThere was no cries.\nThere was only a single-\n\n*Ding*\n...\nThis time clearly coming from a direction in the trees. And what else was there to greet the two but a purple glow, flickering in the darkness. Then another next to it. Then another next to the second! And another, and another! Until the whole clearing was lit up in that ominous eerie glow. It surrounded the two, trapping them in the forest...\nThere was only one logical option now...\n\n*Beep* \nRaihan's phone got a message from a number he'd never seen before...\n\n**???

How could ya leave me hanging like that?\" But he doesn't mind and goes back to encompassing Piers with a bear hug.\n\nThe first ding passed Raihan's ear without so much as lifting a face to it. When the breeze blew, the lanky male found it refreshing! Out here in the moonlight, it is truly beautiful... The mood was setting and that second *Ding* Goes unnoticed again. Then, admittedly, that *CAW* Causes Raihan to jump but he stays attached to Piers. \"Should... We go back?\" He whispered to the other. He planned for them to sit in the clearing and watch the night together, but it's getting a bit... Creepy up in here. Raihan never sat well with scary stuff—and it's as if a hurricane materialized out of no where. Gusts of wind whip at them and Raihan vaguely sees dancing humanoid shadows around them. No, no, it's not ghosts! Just the wind and the trick of the eye! Raihan wants to believe that so he slam his eyes shut, squeezing Piers tighter in his hold. \"Lesgooo...\" He mumbles, partly hiding his face in the other's shoulder. When the bell consecutively rings, the taller one would shiver. *\"What the hell is this?\"* His mind raced. He's shaking in his clothes, especially in his shorts. \n\nWhen everything absolutely *Exploded* With sound, Raihan lets out a yelp. He breaks away from the hug he was in and automatically turn Piers toward the sounds and try to hide behind the skinnier one's back! He say no words besides gritting his teeth and still having his eyes close. *\"Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon!\"* He thought repeatedly so it could be less scary. Then, everything was dead silent. So quiet it's... *Spooky.* He dare peek open his eyes. \"L-lesgo now—\"\n\nThat's when he saw the wisps appearing! They surround them in a ring-around-the-rosie way. Automatically, Raihan cringes back behind Piers as if that would solve anything. When his Rotomphone rung and vibrated, Raihan screamed out in an uncanny voice, while falling back on his rump. Rotomphone flies out from Raihan's pocket, its eyes looking rather glazed itself before turning the screen to his face.\n\n*Fight*, it read.\n\n\"Sandaconda, d-do something!\" He yells, throwing his hand toward... Whatever the heck is surrounding them! The snake Pokémon slithers forward before kicking up its own storm—Sandstorm! Rock and dirt would kick up, whipping at the fragile skins of any Pokémon (or anything else!) that's not immune to it."

The grass out in the clearing would sway along with the light wind and the whole field flickers from the the sun whose rays are being masked by the surrounding trees' leaves. This clearing is something still fascinating to Raihan. Sure, the environment here is definitely controlled, but how the field is made in a perfect circle made the tall man wondered ridiculously—was this like one of those crop circles he've heard about? With the aliens and stuff? Of course he doesn't believe in something like that. It's just fun to wonder sometimes.\n\nReason for today, it would seem unlikely for Raihan to plan a meeting with someone immediately. But eh, well, if you heard you had a sister but knows *Nothing* About her, you'd want to learn more about her too. Maybe that's the reason for this whole thing. Or not. Hands in his pockets, the lanky male looks up to the sky, letting the breeze lift whatever strands he have hanging out. ~~He feels like such a dork standing there so epically.~~ \"Champion of Gaia, huh?\" He speaks aloud to himself. Anyone could call themselves champion. Simple as that. Whether they have the skills for it is another story. Waiting for the supposed champion like this, it reminds him of wait time for *Galar's* Champion. *Some things don't change.*\n\nLiterally, he plans to have some small talk, get some info how closely related this Gaia is, and see if Emet is up to par—the crunch of the grass would stir Raihan when the other has entered the fray."

Emet sits down, placing his duffle bag beside him before taking out...\n\n_Fire proof boots???_\n\nThe kind you'd have to wear when traveling along through volcanic lands. He's switching them out for his champion shoes quietly before glancing back at Raihan. \"What'ya wanna know about Gaia?

Turning his eyes from the sky over to Emet, he sees the champion from the get-go, putting some kinda boots on? Now what's with that? And he already summoned a Pokémon out. The all too familiar Cinderace. That Pokémon has a lot of back up for it, nimble. Did Emet suspect a battle? \"Ya really can't chill~\" Except, he's one to talk. Besides some inquiry, might as well some warm-up, too! Someone as disinterested looking as Emet probably needs a good moment of adrenaline rush. People are different when they're on and *Off* The stage. Raihan might be one of those people.\n\nIt's his mind piecing things together. The boots and then Cinderace. *Was he planning on lighting the whole field in fire?* That'll be quite the storm. And everyone knows Raihan likes to let it rage on. \"How is Gaia's league? I'm not sure if y'know Galar's—\" In his mind he'd think, *\"Personally, I think Galar's pretty popular for everyone to know.\"* Of course, that thought is biased. He continues his question. \"Do they hold it like a sports event too? D'ya find it exciting?\" He shifts in his stance. Is small talk really gonna enlighten this guy?

However, that's not what was happening here. Even though he doesn't necessarily enjoy being champion, he's not gonna stop making sure his pokemon are in tip top shape. \n\nHe finally stands, stretching his muscles as Cinderace dashes around the field. \"Yer not wrong.\" No chill indeed. After his warm up he gestures for Raihan to back up a bit and calla out to his pokemon. \"Ball. Now.\" Cinder perks up, kicking up a rock and slowly turning it into a fire ball. The champion looks towards the other again.\n\n\"Our gyms are shiet if ya ask me. Well three of 'em, but my elite's tends to entertain me enough.\" Emet looks up, trying to think of a good example of who he would compare them too. \"Probably stronger than yer water gym gal.\" Suddenly Emet turns away running towards the side as Cinder kicks the ball across the field ~~not powerful enough to k.O another pokemom but harsh enough to inflict a mild sunburn. Emet kicks the ball back with a slide before it can land into the dirt. Soon enough their playing football back'n forth. \n\n\"...Most of Gaia watches galar though.\""

Everyone has it different and who knows, anyone could simply come up to him, even a champion, and challenge him right off the bat. Away from the stadium, it's different than holding his champion title. It simply came down to being a trainer. Both his Charizard and Dragapult were butting heads. With the Dreepy at each of her ears, they helped for dodging game. Taking to the skies, Charizard's wings causes little turbulence at the nearby trees. If Leon didn't know better, he'd think their training is the reason the clouds above are rolling in. \n\nIt was actually fun to see as Charizard flew into the trees, enough to dodge their branches. And this is why he named him after that \"You can't see me!\" Wrestler. Sharp eyed, Charizard hit down the dead trees to deter the pursuit of the Dreepy from the Dragon Darts attack. Meanwhile, all of this was creating a lot of noise as trees fell here and there and as the winds whip in Leon's face. He cheers loudly for the both of them, which it carried off. Not that there's anyone nearby to get disturbed, right? This is one of the reasons he likes getting himself ~~lost~~ in the forest. As long as Charizard doesn't start a wildfire, they should be fine."

Conkeldurr looked only slightly tired, but the dragon growled with fury at being ursurped, claws digging into the ground. Fabian had a man bun and was just wearing slacks with a plain polo, and he didn't look too concerned with the fact that a dangerous dragon was looking very violent, \"Let's do it again, outrage!\"\n\nThe garchomp stepped back, eating its lum berry and heaving with heavy breaths. Suddenly, it charged at the conkledurr with another roar, making dirt fly behind it and clashing its massive arm blades with the fighting type. The conkledurr's rough palms grasped the blades, but even the pokemon was taken aback by the sudden force and moved back abit from the strong force, gritting its teeth in effort. The dragon lept back and charged once more to deliver its consecutive rounds of outrage, each one slowly tearing through the conkledurr's defense until the fighting type finally flew into the nearest tree with a strong crash.\n\nThe garchomp seemed to be triumphant, and brandished its blades at Fabian with a toothy grin as if expecting a reward, \"Don't worry, you did well so l'll give you a gift\", he heads towards his sack and pulled out some gyarados jerky in a package. He fed it all to the gyarados, and gave the conkledurr a strong multi-berry juice, \"You are impressive, take a break for now\"\n\nYet despite this training and the two pokemon playfully roughhousing with each other after, Fabian still felt a lingering sense of dissatisfaction."

He spray some of it on Charizard, which the Pokémon opened up his wings in energy, feeling his wounds temporarily masked by this strange liquid. Leon turned to spray the same substance over the two Dreepy—the ones who were crashing all over the place for Charizard. \"There, there. Good work out there!

Strong just like their mama. \"Now, who's ready for some cu—\" Leon was about to suggest when an eruption of sound blasted from his right. \"-rry...\" He finished. \n\n\"What's with that roar?\" He peer over yonder and heard other sounds that followed. \"Someone else was here!\" He exclaimed and shot a look back at his Pokémon, both in surprise and curiously. It continues and Leon wondered how he didn't hear them before. Creeping forward, the three stooges found themselves later in the trees, observing this new person from afar. The way how they train—that looked brutal. It reminded him of his training back in Isle of Armour. \"Not afraid to take hits head on, huh?\" He commented when seeing the Garchomp finally breaking through and throwing Conkeldurr into the nearby trees. When he's sure it's downtime with the three of them, he stepped out from the bushes, revealing himself.\n\n.\n\n\"That *Was* Really, really impressive!\" He followed up from the man's latest comment to his Pokémon, while slightly leaning forward, hands clenched into balls in front of him. \"Your Pokémon are hard workers. I was so enthralled!\" Looking to and from Garchomp and Conkeldurr, he gives them an excited wave like he just met his two very favorite idols. \"For your Pokémon to have such tough hides, you have them on this endurance training all the time?

Fabian was quite aware that as an ace trainer who rarely battled, he would have an intimidating image to uphold, so he gives luxury goods to his competitive pokemon to boost morale and power as much as possible in a short amount of rime. Slow-grilled alomomola, strong berry juices with formulas no one has used before, long strips of gyarados jerky, the costs weren't cheap but the pokemon produced good results even with inconsistent training periods. A voice would jolt him and his pokemon into facing the direction it came from.\n\n*\"He has silly clothes, that cape, and that hat... He must be a Galarian!

Oh, we're flattered, we actually don't train a lot nowadays, so we try to go all out when we do!\", he puts on his classic smile, which would probably be present during the entire encounter if the champion somehow managed not to annoy him. The dragon seems to make a barking sound at Leon, waving its claw in return as the conkeldurr simply waves coolly, probably used to this, \"Some of my pokemon get harsher endurance training than others, some pokemon simply have different speciality distributions. For example, conkledurr's power and defense is suberb, but its very slow. But l won't try improving its speed, for it has a priority move that always go first, and wasting time on a dead speciality instead of improving its current ones would be inefficient!\", he goes off like a college professor, even making slight hand gestures and showing a bit of passion in his speech.\n\n\"E-eh??? Leon from Galar????\", he exclaimed as if he lived under a rock his whole life, which wasn't too far from the truth in a literal sense, \"Why, l must have struck gold in fate's lottery if you're the real deal!

Training is the best especially if you do it with your Pokémon!\" But seeing as the other has a book in his hand, the champ had to think he probably have other happenings to prevent it. John found amusement from Garchomp's barks but he attempts to puff his chest up to appear intimidating—an action probably taught by his trainer over there. Dragapult lazed in the shades, the eyes only glowing from the shadows. \n\n\"Of course! I'm all the way with you on that!

My accomplishments are known even beyond the borders of Galar, huh?\" Lowering his head to chuckle *Darkly*, the fame was getting to his head again. \"My techniques vary with each trainer I battle. And in honesty, I have this rival that's always making me change things up. But if there's something I stick to—it's that the whole team is fighting at the same time. I like to think it that way.\n\nI'm not afraid to switch my Pokémon in place of another one just so they can cover up a type-advantage move. Also, I like to have cover-up moves for my team. Everyone knows John-er, Charizard here is weak to water and so on, right? So I have Solarbeam for that!\" Now, he's just rambling. Leon wasn't even sure if that answered it being a technique, rather than just a *Battle style* And yapping out common sense. \"Aheh... I'm better at showing it! And how about you—since you asked me?\" This would be a good opportunity for Leon to take in more tips for his own future battles. He's always learning, no matter being champion."

All of which were healballs, he hadn't wanted to hurt them all too much, so the pink capsules seemed to be the best option for his adventure. \"You introduced me to your Galvantula, so maybe they wouldnt mind.\"\n\nHe placed the five pink capsules to tbe ground and picked one up, holding it towards the side and letting it free from its confides. Standing tall before Black was a regal, well groomed Zoroark with sharp eyes. \n*\"Zaro,\"* It huffed, looking towards N with a confused look. \n\"This is my illusionist friend,\" N introduced, instead fidgeting with his necklace now that his pokeballs were to the side. The Zoroark bowed in a knight-like manor."

Silence hung from the two silhouettes before they both emerged from their dark cloaks. A tall person and their zoroark, staring at the green mist and the glow of blue eyes with squinting eyes and deep focus. No words were yet said from this man and no sounds made from the Zoroark.\nThey simply waited for something to happen, something to react to after the screeching of metal wrought panic among the man and his pokemon.

The two looked like they had just come out of a book on cryptids. \"Probably not. We are in the middle of a forest after all,\" The pokemon spoke, folding the map with its powerful mind. It appeared that the source of the metallic screeching was a late-night jam session. \"Sweet, I'll just keep on jamming...\" The young alien's words halted as she turned to look at the tall man and his pokemon. \"Aw man,\" Ayleen slumped, disappointed that people ended up hearing her jam session anyways."

She concluded that this N person was giving her a very low high five. Based on her deduction, Ayleen smacked the nocturnal traveler's hand with moderate force. A toothy grin, which evoked a joy devoid of malice, rose from the young alien. Her happiness got cut short when she felt Ruby's ire metaphorically burn the side of her head. \"Wrong answer?\" Ayleen asked weakly before receiving a smack on the head with a floating map. \"That's my friend, Ruby,\" She pointed at her companion as her joyous grin returned to her.\n\n\"I'm trying not to be too loud but, I can't help it,\" She moved with frenetic energy as she slumped once more.

I thought I'd be less inspired playin' in the forest at night.\" The young suburban hero rubbed the back of her head. She seemed to be at a loss on what to do. Notably, Ayleen had been playing her guitar as she spoke. Her melody was somber, characterized by a bassy and prolonged musical note with three slow-moving notes that rose in pitch. The song was perfect for a rendezvous of thoughts in the dark. Curiously, it appeared that Ayleen had not taken notice of her actions. \"What about you, Mister N?\" She startled Ruby a bit as she abruptly chimed in from her deep dive.

In this state, he knew he needed to find some sort of civilization, he was without his Pokémon and injured, far too vulnerable to be by himself out here. It didn't matter what time or place he was in, that was just common sense. He reached up with a bare hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, how long had he been walking in order for him to accumulate a sweat? \n\nWhen he lowered his hand, he saw a brief flash of red, making him do a double take, that hadn't been sweat running down his face, but blood. Typically head wounds bleed more that what the injury let on, but still, an injury to the head was serious. This only urged him to move forward, keeping one arm curled around his torso as if that would prevent his ribs from hurting further. It was really all he could do, a small gesture that was meant more for comfort than true help.\n\nFinally, he breached the thick maze of woods to a small clearing, a moment to give him the ability to gather his bearings as he looked up at the sky. The brim of his worn out cap blocked the sun from blinding his silvery eyes as he tried to judge the time of day by the position of the sun. It was slightly at a different angle than what he was used to, which meant he was in a different part of the world entirely, making his time predictions likely uncertain at best. \n\nWhich meant he had to continue moving before it got dark, continuing his walk as the tattered ends of his long coat swished over the tall grass, but that was the only sound that came from a man who had adapted every bit of himself in traversing the dangerous wilds."

The little forest map guide available in the stalls weren't detailed enough for his tastes, so Arven decided to walk on every single square inch and label parts he thought were significant. Berry patches, local flora, possible secrets, the whole lot. His trusty Mabosstiff was by his side, alongside a chansey he took great leaps to catch.\n\nAs usual, he got out at an exceptionally early time; his trek nearly completing the entire forest as a result. Had he decided to start a bit later through the day, Arven would have to navigate through distracting crowds and overwhelming sights. When they reached a major point on the map, Mabosstiff woofed softly; the beast required his afternoon sustenance.\n\nChansey had different ideas, however. As Arven scratched his partner pokemon on the head and was about to settle down, Chansey hurriedly tugged at one of the tassels of his massive pack with great urgency. \"You hardly get panicked like this, what's going on?\", Arven's eyes are led towards a lone figure in the clearing, body all screwed up and clothes tattered.\n\nHe had many questions, such as who, what, and why did this man look like this; but as he ran towards Ingo with pokemon in tow, he wondered why he didn't see any pokeballs on his belt. He figured that asking that many questions would be selfish of him, and also a pain considering how the stranger clutched his ribs. \n\nChansey didn't need to be told to cast a heal pulse on the stranger when they stopped right in front of him. Gentle pink beams descended on the bruised parts that Chansey waved towards, but Arven still took out one of its signature healing eggs out of his bag and held it out like some sort of offering.\n\n\"Hey! I have no idea how you ended up like that, but I'm about to set up camp and you look messed up. Do you uh, do you want this healing egg?\""

His long coat flaring out, giving him enough room for one hand to reach for the belt at his waist, exactly where his pokeballs were supposed to be. Cold fear briefly washed over him when his bare fingers clasped over nothingness. Already his brain was trying to calculate how he sound avoid this danger now that he was left without a fighting partner.\n\nThat line of thinking didn't last long when he noticed it was just a kid, the sharpness in his gaze accentuated by the overcast of his hat lessened with his posture. Then again, what was a kid doing out here? It was dangerous alone, even if the boy had Pokémon, or... Maybe this place wasn't as dangerous? Still, it was better safe than sorry. Despite his injuries, he always had that strong protective streak, it was born in from being an older...\n\nPain spiked through his temple and he pressed his palm against it to soothe it away. It eased though when he felt an unusual warmth seeped into his body, causing him to open his eyes. His gaze landed on the Chansey, yes, he could remember those, this one was smaller than the images he conjured up. And friendlier. He'd forgotten what it was like for Pokémon to just freely heal a human, then again, he'd forgotten a lot of things.\n\nHe exhaled out cautiously, testing his ribs to make sure they were fine now, the reassembling of the shattered one had been a bit painful but now it had eased away. This at least alleviated some of his worries, even without his Pokémon, he was in good enough shape to avoid, dodge, and run away if needed.\n\n\"Setting up camp? Isn't it too dangerous for a kid to be out here alone?\"\n\nHe shook his head at the offer of an egg, he didn't think his stomach could handle food right now, not after that soul wrenching feeling off falling through a worm hole."

Maybe both. \n\nHis sharp stare and reflexes weren't common for an inexperienced trainer, but then again the body can be pushed to a state of alert regardless of skill; though his hair looked similar to someone...\n\n\"Thanks for the concern sir, but I'm nearly eighteen\", he says sheepishly, \"Besides, I've been camping out and getting my own food since I was a little kid. Didn't really have anyone to do all the 'providing' stuff consistently.\" Arven cocked his head a bit, \"Say, can you tell me who you are?

His scowl deepened a little, but for now he decided it was best not to press it.\n\nHe gave a small nod of thanks to the Chansey for assisting him in his injuries, though he should still probably get himself checked out better, especially when he still could only remember bits and piece of who he was. For a moment, he paused his scanning of the area to give the kid a better look, he didn't look like some feral child despite the fact him mentioning no one looking after him. His words about being on an island caught his attention though, distracting him from his bristling annoyance.\n\nThat wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear, an island would be difficult to leave, especially considering he had not passports, no identification, not even a single credit to his name. He let out a muffled groan and pressed his hand to his face, showing a momentary lapse in his stoniness due to an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. Finally, he let out a sigh and returned his steady attention back on the boy.\n\n\"Regardless of age, one should not travel alone.\" So says the man who was in fact traveling more alone that the kid before him. \"My name is Nobori, though in Unova, they call me Ingo.\" His voice grew a bit more steady and stronger with such a familiar action. \"And.

That was highly unlikely, but the other thought that Arven had was equally preposterous, at least in his eyes, \"I... See. If you're related to anyone, maybe they can help you with your identification? Assuming that sligoogle is right.\"\n\nHe paused a bit, hesitant to ask this one particular thing.

But it doesn't seem right, maybe its more of a past-dimension or timeline rather than an alternate one...\"\n\nWhen the phone retreated back to Arven, he noticed a few new panicked texts in the global chat and started to get a bit nervous; he wasn't quite sure what Ingo's reaction would be, considering everything that he suspects happened and also the bad condition he was in. \"Uhh I thiink I'm done in this place, so we can go back to Sigford right now!

He wasn't certain why someone would travel into a different time in the first place, maybe they didn't know about the landing. And the memory loss. Or maybe Ingo was just a very unlucky special case.

Infernape dashed to mark as mark clutched the hand \"AGH.. I'll be fine.. Where's gabite?\" He looked around and was immediately worried \"No, nonononono, I thought the ground wasn't soft enough\" He looked down and around, trying to locate gabite."

He stood up and hurried into the clearing. \"Bálkiov, try to track that Gabite!\" \n\nBálkiov looked at Zeph and nodded, closing his eyes. The four small appendages raised as the aura within him enhanced his senses, and he dashed off to chase the Gabite, quickly disappearing into the forest as well.\n\nZephraxe stopped and looked at Mark. \"Well uh... Didn't think he'd turn and rush off like that. Sorry about that.\" He said apologetically as he scratched the back of his head."

Gabite began to start digging down, coming back up to slash at infernape before going back down again, bit like a dolphin.

Mark knows that roar \"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT\" He picks up the ball in his injured hand and immediately drops it in pain \"Agh. He's got sand veil, he's too hard to fight in the sand storm...

It was a strategy he had become familiar with under Zephraxe and Kórvem's training. \n\nZephraxe and Dáhlytha had retreated to a safe distance away as to not be hurt by the whipping sand. He considered his options to try to get this situation under control. He didn't necessarily want to harm the Gabite, but it was endangering the others here. He could sense the dragon's owner was in pain and the girl that had shown up out of nowhere was confused. He trusted that Bálkiov could handle the fight, but also wanted to ensure the others would be safe. He was ready to send the rest of his team out to try to stop this, but didn't want to risk having the Gabite run off. Zeph clenched his fist, frustrated by his unsureness on how to proceed. He knew had had to remain calm though."

Otherwise things could turn for the worse.\" He looked hard at Mark, but spoke calmly. \n\nBálkiov's Aura Sphere tapered out as he sensed Gabite get closer. The dragon was no longer underground and walked towards him. He could sense his own trainer's attempt to be calm and followed along. Patience and precision, Zephraxe and Kórvem would tell him. He stood there until Gabite got close. He then lunged forward at blinding speed, grabbing onto Gabite.

You see strength in raw, physical power... Something most humans lack.\" He continued. Even though Gabite might not understand his words, Zephraxe ensured the connection he established would allow him to understand. \"You don't feel like your trainer respects your strength and feel that he has no real strength...

Together, you will be capable of so much more... But I don't ask you to simply change your mind.\" Zephraxe continued. \"You want your trainer to prove himself worthy of your newfound power.
