Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reis still wasn't sure what was going on. Jeanne was skittering this way and that, adjusting things as she went, flying the damn thing. Sinking down further, her hand brushed something on the ground. Picking it up, she found it was a book. It was very large, and a single picture drifted out of it. Picking it up, she examined it. The picture was faded, but one could clearly see a hot air balloon in flight (Reis assumed it was the one she now sat in), with a man wearing an aeronaut's hat in the focus. To his side was a small, starry-coated pikachu. Looking up, Reis gaped at the little pikachu even now working the controls. No. Way. No way. It can't be. But one couldn't help but see the resemblance.

Jeanne jumped down next to her, looking at the picture as well. With a mournful 'chuuu...', she licked the photo, looking visibly crestfallen. Without any clue of what else to do, Reis silently gave Jeanne some pocky, petting her head.

Flint grinned when he saw people begin to move and hopped onto Rush's back, finally they were on their way! He guided Rush forward and pulled up next to Shina " This is exciting, but hopefully we don't run into as much trouble as we did on the last Caravan" he said and shook his head a bit. he was hopeful that this would turn out better than the last, but there was a small bit of anxiety about as well. Maya chirred happily, she was exited too. She cast a glance over a Tenka, it was good to have a friendly face on this trip, it would make it much less dull.

Flint nodded in agreement " yhea, or any other team for that matter" he fixed his eyes forward studying the horizon " i cant wait to see all the sights this region has to offer" he said with a small smile.

Maya smiled over at Tenka and gave him a little wave in return. She examined the Ponyta and wondered if the fire horse would burn her if she jumped over. Those flames didn't look friendly....

Claramay cocked her Pidgeot's neck feather upward and the large bird took to the air with mild disdain. With the caravan underway, he was quite content to finally be flying. The feeling of great freedom stirred a bit of happiness. It has been a long time since Cetus left him out of his ball for such a length of time. Meeting the very beginnings of grass excited Claramay the most. Finally in her mission's destination, she could begin her plans.

"Oh, this will be fun!" Mrs. Pearls chirped with a little giggle, noticeable hand to her cheek as the other grip the edge of her avian's wing. He remained aloft to keep his sights focused from above for anything a sizable white/pink. Cetus caught the sight of the air balloon and was almost prepared to take her bird over for investigation, but chose otherwise. "Might as well stay with the others . . . " she told herself. "It'll look a bit suspicious if I venture off without reason."

She looked up above to see a large, floating orb making its way across the heavens. Such a big, identifiable object spooked the young soul and she immediately headed for cover in the plain's grasses. But by doing so, she also interrupted the nest of a mother Nidorina, who wasn't fond of a random intruder dumping herself on one of her eggs. It wailed in a sharp cry and attempted to charge the Mewtwo, but she teleported straight into grass bushel by the caravan. Exhausted, she decided to take a breather and consider moving from the grasslands. They were causing her much more trouble than usual.

"" Rasha answered, ""

"We will probably set up camp in one of those bush clusters later tonight. Both the water and the berries will be welcome, though I doubt that this soon after leaving anyone will be shy on food. But there is no point not taking advantage of what is around us. Later on, I imagine forage will be vital to keeping the caravan fed," Shina said.

((Hey Nana, is there now a mewtwo on the side of the path the caravan is taking?))

Shina nodded. "Yes, it is amazing how much of what you find is edible! The roots of many plants are edible, much like potatoes, and the leaves and berries of many plants are often edible, though you do of course have to be careful. I made sure to buy a lot of dried meat at the camping store, as protein can be a little scarce," she told Flint.

"" Tenka spotted a flash of white off in the grass to the side of the trail ahead of them. Carefully, he tugged Shina's shirt, chittering at her and gesturing towards the hidden creature.

Shina peered at the spot Tenka was pointing to and spotting a bit of white. "Oh my goodness! Mrs. Pearls said something about a white Abra in the area! I think that might be it!" Shina bit her lip. She knew Mrs. Pearls wanted the Abra, but if she called out it would teleport for sure!

Flint watched in shock as the oddly colored Pokemon floated over to Shina. Was it really an abra? he couldn't really tell. It looked odd but he had never seen anything like it before. " whoa, i've never seen a Pokemon with such odd coloring"

Maya squeaked in alarm as the strange Pokemon approached them and scurried back down and over to stand by Tenka. It wasn't acting hostile but that was no reason to be careless
