Welcome to Gaia! ::

It only takes a few moments before RC lands next to Sub and Monstressor. He had also dug his Go Goggles out of his old trainer chest. They were antiques to say the least, but they still worked. It appears he has replaced the band and repaired them many times.

Sol wasn't quite as fortuitous, or at least at first. A timely trip after the events a few days ago led to an acquisition of some Go-Goggles himself, alongside an additional pair for Ceramew.

The two arrived in the desert before long, sporting the change in eyewear. While it was a necessary evil, Ceramew couldn't help feeling a bit silly having to wear something like this.

"...I assume one of these readings were heavy in earthen chi?" Sol said, mostly to himself. It was hard not to feel it, not after last time. Even his charge could feel it, whom of which had brought her Tyranitar again. There really wasn't much better for this area.

Tsuki cold be seen in the distance coming closer. He had his goggles on like whenever he went on his hover board. He even had Maggy the Magby on his head as he neared. Getting off near Sol he asked "What's up? I was on my way to Johto when I received this message."

"Hm?" These newer ones had a heck of a way of showing up, it seemed. Nothing he could complain about, though. "We've potential company around here. Not entirely certain of what, but it likely isn't very far off." He answered.

Sub rose an eyebrow at RC's comment as he called him a 'young one'. "Exactly how old are you?" He said out loud, not really asking RC, more like pondering to himself but not trying to hide the thought either. "Yep, you called it." He said to Sol. "So if you're thinking what I'm thinking then we may see our friend again from the other day..." He grunted and then took notice of Tsuki and Veronica's arrival and smiled, but his cheery disposition soon changed as he noticed a large object coming towards them at a rapid pace. "What's that?"

He said pointing towards the shadow in the distance that continued to grow by the second. Soon it was visible as it more than halfway reached their location. "It looks like...a ship...how is a ship sailing out here?" He then turned to Night and shook his head. "Apparently not- what the!?" Sub shouted as a Trapinch arched through the air and came darting down towards him mouth open. "Monstressor, Dark Pulse!" The Tyranitar let out a roar and blasted the Pokemon away with a stream of dark energy rings. "Ground type Pokemon and the same reading from before, Browsix must be coming to greet us."

It was then that the Snagems would see a group of six Trapinch zooming through the sand their heads half exposed as they open and closed their jaws rapidly. They looked as if escorting to the ship that sailed behind them. "Look out guys."

"Don't worry is fashionably late." Tsuki joked. Maggy had jumped off his head and stood in awe of the Charzard. She wanted to look and be that powerful. She'd be a Magmortar one day.
"What's this talk about Chi? Wasn't Cifer ended a few years back by some kid?" Tsuki asked then. He had heard about that. But he was from Hoenn so he wouldn't know. Then he saw the Trapinches and ordered "Maggy Smokescreen!" She nodded and blew smoke to block the enemies view.

"Yeah, I've no doubt of it." A quick nod was the only other thing to come from Sol. It wasn't long before he and Ceramew took notice of the ship, an oddity that neither could say they've ever seen. "I think we've got other matters on top of the readings. Boy, whoever you are, I'll try to explain later."

It wasn't long before he let out his own Trapinch, in hopes of letting this thing get some much needed battling experience. "Trapinch, you need to get your feet wet. Sand Tomb." The Pokemon worked to create a harsh, localized sandstorm around an opposing Trapinch or two, trying to keep them from getting much closer.

Ceramew furthered those efforts with a chilling wind, mist escaping around her. She didn't feel it was enough to warrant full use of an Ice Beam, but the attack still had its uses. She also found that she didn't need to tell Kiri what to do, with the Tyranitar acting as a wall.
