Welcome to Gaia! ::

Robin woke with a start, to find himself perched upon a napping Etna in the middle of Motterossa, and the sun almost set. Had he really slept away most of the day, as well as the final leg of their journey?

The musician had not come on this trip with the particular aim of catching an Eevee, but rather simply to see them, so he felt no urge to go in search of them. They would still be here in the morning – provided, of course, that the more adventurous trainers had not caught them all by then. Instead, he turned his efforts to finding a place to sleep.

Out in the wilderness, he had been almost the equal of any one of the other trainers in the group. Here, in a civilized town, the difference became once more apparent.

Back in Katarina, he had garnered a place to sleep at the local Pokemon Center a few nights a week. But Robin didn't quite feel up to attempting to befriending a strange Nurse Joy in a strange town, at least, not just now. And getting free lodging when the others in the group he'd been travelling with were paying for rooms at the inn seemed somehow dishonest.

Etna had served him well for shelter the past couple of nights, and in fact he had slept better than any night under a bridge. After waking the exhausted Onix and assuring her that she could go back to sleeping in just a few minutes, Robin led her to a secluded spot at the side of the Pokemon Center and settled down exactly as he had each previous night of the journey.

Liam returned the shake, sliding his other hand into his pocket. "Nice to meet you Tabitha," He replied with a smile and a wink, teasing her gently, "So what're you doing out after dark? It's a small town, which is nice, but it still might be dangerous in a place you don't know."

Glancing down at Rainer, the healer chuckled a little, quirking an eyebrow up at Tabitha. "Then again, you got this little one to keep you safe, eh?"

Thanks to Ezekiel's help, Zyk had miraculously recovered. He seemed even more protective of her than ever, refusing to leave his perch on her shoulder. Zinnia was glad that he was back to his old self.

But it was time to sleep, because there was bound to be a big day ahead of them. Gently prying Zyk away and putting him on her nightstand, Zinnia crawled into bed and pulled out her hair holders. Her long blue hair fell to her waist as she snuggled down under her blanket and shut off the light. Zyk promptly flew onto her pillow and curled up there.

All was quiet in the inn, and the young girl promptly drifted off to sleep.

Jamais had been walking around the town just looking for someone to chat with when she heard the call up ahead if anyone was there. She chuckled, "YUP there's someone behind you~"

If only he'd looked behind him he would've seen the mechanic with her rental ponyta out for a little extra light. She waved as she approached.

"It's a nice evening isn't it?" She smiled at Danny, "I'm Jamais by the way." She said with a nod, as she'd been taught it was rude not to introduce yourself.

Jaamis nodded in agreement, "Yes it's a nice break from the heat, that's for sure. As I'd been working on a farmer's tractor, the thing died on him. I was lucky to find something to make a little extra spending money. Though I was needing some help earlier, and there wasn't a soul around."

She paused when he asked about the Eevee, seemingly to think, "Actually. The farmer's been complaining that a lot of the Eevee have been bothering his miltank at night. I heard if Miltank get too stressed out they won't give milk." She said in a mater of factly tone, when suddenly her eyes widened.

"OHHH... and I left my toolbox there!" She pouted, "I have to go back and get it!"

She looked at Danny, "Danny would you like to go with me? Maybe there'll be some Eevees there tonight, I haven't seen any trainers besides myself over in that area so maybe they haven't been all scared off."

Jamais grinned when he agreed, "OH thank you!" She lead the way glad to have company, "If you feel like tomorrow maybe you can help me finish fixing the tractor. I needed an extra pair of hands and the farmer's too busy to help. The pay is good though." She gave a nod.

She paused, "Oh we'll need to stop by the barn first, So I can get my toolbox, when we get their it might e a good idea to put the Ponyta up so they won't get spooked by the Eevee. The way the farmer talks they're bad about turning things over and making loud noises."

She stroked her ponyta's neck as she spoke. "It wouldn't do for the ponyta or us getting hurt because of the eevee."

Jamais nodded, "There'll be lamps near the barn anyways." She said with a nod, "If we need the light that is."

She paused did the farmer say which direction? "Hm... I think he said they came from the woods. All I know is he's not very happy that his miltanks have given a lot less milk lately."

The farm was coming up in view, it looked as if the miltank were sleeping, peacefully for now. "I'm not sure, maybe because they've had no one to care for and love them? Most of the other wild pokemon seemed to enjoy causing trouble too." Recalling the ones they'd ran into earlier, "Like those Swablu." She pointed out.

As when they got close enough she slipped off her mount and recalled him back to his pokeball. "Thank you Mr. Ponyta." She said to the ball, as she placed it on her belt. With a smile at Danny, "I'm going to walk from here, since it's not that much further."

She was looking around hoping to catch a glance of an eevee as she walked.

Jamais watched, "Huh, I guess you had to ask for a pokeball." She said with a shrug, "After all the rain I figured it might be best to have one in case it did rain again and we couldn't find shelter."

She watched the ponyta be lead into the stall when they got into the barn, she'd closed the door so eevee couldn't get in. "There might be something in the water, but I'm sure they could become kinder when trained. After all, they say no pokemon is born bad."

She looked around picking up a lamp and lighting it. "Hm... my tool box shouldn't be too far. Would you like to look in here while I look outside? It has my name engraved in it." She added with a pause, "Though we'll have to keep the door closed to the barn. Can't let the eevee in here, if they knock over a gas can and lit lamp or for that matter the ponyta's tail happened to catch the gas it'd be a very unfortunate outcome. I don't have the money to replace a barn." She said with a frown. "That's okay isn't it, Danny?" She asked before heading to the door passing the gas can on the way out.
