Welcome to Gaia! ::

(ooc My internet seems to be giving me trouble i'll have to pop in later.)

Sitting down on the floor with a belly full of warm food, proved to be to much for the blonde girl and she slowly drifted into sleep.

"Yep. Eevee trip." Penelope smiled. "Oh... sorry about your camera..."

Stitch shook the pikachu's paw, which was an awkward human thing to do... But oh well. She seemed nice enough.

Penelope looked down at her Linoone, who was now making noise. "He isn't bothering you is he?"

Lizzie didn't mind that the storm was over already. What she did mind was that her Lugia decided to take a nap in the middle of the stables right after she finished drying it with a towel.

"Oh come on, you stupid baby." She prodded him with her foot. "If you want to nap then do it outside. Not where there's a lot of people here..."

Her attempt failed. Lizzie sighed and gave up, deciding to sit down next to him and read the book she brought along. It was damp from the rain but she could still read it.

[[ I've got to go for a bit, I'll be back around 6pm EST ]]

Tabitha had to make sure her leg didn't get caught between two pokemon as they were pressed a little too close for comfort. Drawing her legs further up in the sturps she shifted ever so slightly to let the ponyta do as they pleased.

"Ah~ It's nicer to see them out where they belong rather than to keep them cooped up. Though considering my parents are breeders most of the pokemon don't mind being on a ranch." She could remember the days when she and her siblings sat on the fenches around the ranch watching as their parents worked with some of the more difficult pokemon. Like that scarred Absol her mother had found a few years ago... Shaking herself from the thoughts Tabitha reached down to fix the buckle on her left boot.

"Don't squeeze too hard with your legs or it'll get the wrong idea and think you want it to run." Though she had to admit these pokemon seemed to want to test their riders before anything started.

((XDDDD I LOVE THIS FREAKY WEATHER LULZ it's messing with ussss))

An odd sight greeted Lamen as she ran towards the Tauros, seeing as there was something like a force field over both itself and Donut and... what was Soar doing here? Whatever. "Don't mind if I do," Lamen said, leaping into the bubble of dry air before the rain got hard.

It ended moments afterward and the dark clouds rolled away. "What the crap?! Pfft. Was that something you did for dramatic entrance or something, Soar? You didn't have any weather changing powers last time I checked." She bumped the Deoxys' chest with the back of her fist, then watched as the force field dissolved. "Anyways, thanks. But you should stay hidden, all right? Team Rocket will come after you if you show up in public." It was like one of those scary bedtime stories you tell to make children behave.

The legendary blared loudly, obviously bored and a little frustrated despite his expressionless face. He put a hand on the Tauros' back and hopped once. Mattress was visibly nervous.

"Whatever, Soar, you can fly like a ninja- as in, hidden, ok- while I travel or something, okay? If the group is small enough, you can join us."
Lamen left the Deoxys and Tauros there, returning to Cooper and the stranger with Donut floating after her. The Gengar didn't spend a lot of time around Psychic types, ever. It wasn't hard to tell why.

"So you're friends with Adriel, right? I'm Lamen. Nice to meet you." She extended a hand to shake.

Ridley forced himself not to watch Liam as they walked along, glancing at him every so often and nodding. "I don't mind. Even if they leave a little early we can probably catch up to them by nightfall," he shrugged. Truth be told, he'd be willing to delay the entire day, and not just because Liam's shirt was now soaked and sticking to his skin. He just had to stop being a b***h about it. This is what he'd signed up to do. And that was life.

His train of thought was interrupted as Liam asked his reason for going, and he paused, forming up the proper excuse from before, knowing that Liam wouldn't believe him, but that he had to at least uphold the facade so that the healer had an excuse to not punch him. "I just want to get out of the city for a while. I enjoyed our last trip, it was really relaxing. I was hoping for a similar experience," Ridley shrugged, and stammered as Liam called him and eevee-lover.

"Ok, they are pretty cute, but they're not my favorite. It's just that they're rare," he shrugged. "I'm not really going for the eevee anyway," Ridley flat-out lied, and the ease with which it rolled off his tongue mildly sickened him.

"Yeah?" Liam lifted his eyebrows, meandering up the stairs and down a hallway to his apartment door, reaching into one of the pouches to grab a key, unlocking it and pushing open the door with his foot. Inside, the place was a wreck -- clothes and food containers littered the entire place, although no more worse than any other regular bachelor pad. The healer didn't seem perturbed by the mess or the fact that Ridley was seeing his mess, stepping inside and dropping the bags on the couch, moving straight to his room, the sound of drawers opening echoing through the tiny living room.

"Jesus it's cold in here," he commented, loud enough for Ridley to hear, the sound of wet denim brushing against itself audible under his voice as he moved to the closet. The sleeping bag in his closet was just where he left it, stacked on top of the backpack he had brought on their last trip.

"Hey, can you grab the duct tape from the bottom drawer by my bed?" he asked, ducking out of the room to grab his toothbrush and hairbrush from the bathroom.
