Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jackariah lifted don the hood of her miltank sweatshirt and smiled. "I can help too." Stein floated over Fifi's head towards where Kitty had run.

"Thank you too!" Fifi said to the second trainer. "I think Kitty went this way!" she said, leading them away from the group and into the night.

jackariah looked longingly at the cave, then followed the girl and Stein. "I hope we find Kitty soon." Shivering a little as she kicked a rock along.

"Nyaaaaa!" The meowth darted out of nowhere and climbed Jackariah's leg, then continued up to drape herself around the girl's shoulders.

"Kitty! Fifi exclaimed happily, scooping the Meowth off the other's shoulders. "Naughty girl, you mustn't run off like that!" Fifi scolded.

Doyle grinned at Dora. "Nice to meet you too. If you excuse me I'm going to make sure Parth..." He turned to see the Poochyena was now gone, "Oh never mind. Anyways... see you later Dora."

He walked back to the little group he had joined and it was in time for Lexis' comment about the 'baby'. He smirked a little at the suggestions. "Yeah right.... like we'll name it after the grandfather.... as for being a single parent..." He never got to finish as suddenly the older man came rushing at him.

"Whoa!" He called out when Herbert jumped up on him. He quickly got the Growlithe down off of him with a stern 'off'. It was in time to step back away from Mortimer who was aiming to punch him. "Dude chill out! I was messing with you! Barbie isn't pregnant..... and I certainly haven't done anything with her. I haven't seen her since the cruise trip."

He made to stay out of Mortimer's range as they traveled on. As night began to draw close and everyone began talking of stopping for the night, he managed to slip away from the group. "I think I'm going to sleep somewhere else. See you guys." He said.

He found a spot in the field and decided to make that his sleep spot even with the wind. After all he had a blanket already in his bag plus the extra one. He was used to sleeping out in the open so sleeping in the cave would be strange. He gathered some sticks to make a fire and set up a small fire pit. It was only then that he realized that he didn't have anything to light it.

Looking around he spotted someone with a fire pokemon. He left Auron at the spot he had chosen and walked over to Dave and Cael. "Hey um.... do you mind if I borrow your Growlithe? I need to light my fire and I forgot matches." He asked Dave while looking down at Miles and Cloudrunner.

Cara stood up from petting the Eevee. "Hehheh I'm thinking of switching careers and becoming a trainer/watcher or breeder instead of a trainer/officer. I haven't done much as an officer yet." She said the last part with a laugh. "I have a feeling the most gorgeous and cute Pokemon know how cute they are and have no problem using it. I just hope they don't do bad things with it. And thanks, " Cara scratched behind Tiger's ears, "Tiger here is a great partner. I got him from a nice old couple who breed Growlithe."





Cara turned from the man who had helped her and grinned at Zak and patted Tiger on the head. "Yup, this here is Tiger. I got him about a year ago as a Growlithe from a nice old couple who breed Growlithe. He's an awesome partner."

Tiger nuzzled Cara affectionately. He loved Cara quite a bit and she always treated him right, with lots of love and kindness. "Arcanine." He said, introducing himself.

When Zak released his pokemon from her ball Cara was slightly taken back. "Wow...that is a gorgeous Dragonair, Zak. Her coloring and markings are absolutely stunning. I'm not the only one with new pokemon friends am I?" She said in a teasing manner.

Upon seeing Sakki appear, Tiger walked over to say hello. "Arc-canine." He said, introducing himself to Sakki.

Cara soon noticed that the group seemed to be stopping for the night, and saw that they had their choice between a rather large cave or an open grassy field. The wind seemed to be picking up, like it tended to do at night in the mountains so Cara figured they would be safer in the cave, where they had shelter from the wind and other elements that the mountains could throw at them.

"What do you guys say we head into the cave for some shelter for the night? The weather looks like it's going to take a nasty turn and I'd rather not be stuck out here in the elements if or when it does." Cara asked her two companions.

"Thanks. Jerky?" Jack offered the dried food to Jade calmly after seeing to her Doduo. "Seems to be fine. Skittish, doesn't like the big group yet. I think this 'un is claustrophobic though. Can't blame any of 'em though. How's yours?"

The Doduo trilled, a mix between a 'whonk' and a 'chirrup', and offered Jack a nod of both heads, then settled to graze at feed next to it's fellow Doduo, nodding with one head and eating with another.

This was a good person too, even if dark. After all, the trainers saved them from THE PEN.

Shaun surveyed the potential campsites, quickly deciding on the grassy area. Salvo needed a lot of space, after all, and he rarely returned the pokemon to his pokeball. He had enough camping supplies for himself and a little to share, but if there was one thing a camp group could always use more of, it was water. And now would be the best time to look for it, before the light was entirely gone. "I'm gonna go search for water, be right back," he said to anyone nearby. Then he had Salvo take of again and begin flying a search pattern in ever-widening circles.

A little distance away he came across a stream trickling through a crevasse in the rock. He landed by it, pulled out a flashlight and shone it in. The water looked clear, though that didn't always mean it was safe. The various green plants growing along the bottom was a good sign, though. He pulled out a pot and the water bottle he'd been given, dipping both in the stream. It was icy cold, likely a lot of snowmelt from higher up the mountain. He did have some water purification tablet with him, so he dropped one in the water bottle and screwed the top closed. That would have to sit for a bit until it was safe to drink, so he carried the pot back to Salvo and headed back towards the camp, directing Salvo to fly very carefully to avoid spilling.

On his way there, he noticed George heading off. He had Salvo stop and hover so he could call down, "Hey there, where you off to?"
