Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hayes suddenly spoke talking to what he assumed was the ring leader of this little operation. From the looks of it, he didn't exactly know what had happened. He smirked a bit more, laughing inside. He'd say hello to him later, for now he watched the nervous trainee talking to Nyx. This one looked fun to pick on, and ideas were running through his head. He locked his eyes on him, giving him what he knew was an evil grin.

Nika on the other hand was becoming overwhelmed by the number of people in the area. She spotted the water pokemon and that was too much for her. Dodging between feet she ran back to Panther, tear running down her face.

"Ooh" A small sound of surprise floated from the entrance of the garage.
Faleen, standing in the usual Grunt uniform, hands folded behind her back, was stopped, her eyes growing wider at the group that was surrounding one of the vans.
She was going to the beach for training... That's what she was interested in,
The others in the garage however... didn't give off the impression that there was much training going to be done.
Boots laced up tightly, pokeballs on her thigh, uniform crisp and respectfully warn, she lingered by the door.

Leo caught sight of Nika and dashed over to her and Panther. Emilie, caught up in watching the agent deal with the grunt responsible for the arrangement, only belatedly noticed her pokemon's wandering and went to retrieve him.

She listened to Jen's suggestion about seating with amusement. It sounded like it was going to be an interesting day.

"Nice try," the blond laughed, unaffected by the pout. When the grunt glanced away, so did he, and smiled in greeting when he recognized Faleen. Then he reached over and lifted the keys off Jen's finger.

"We can pack however many," the agent said, "but I'm not taking responsibility for everyone." This many grunts, all with the same day off? Real likely. Hayes wasn't going to borrow trouble. He grinned and headed for the van. "I'm gonna put my stuff in. Tell whoever's coming to grab a seat."

Glancing down at the attached remote, he punched the 'Unlock' button with his thumb, pulled the door open, and slung his backpack down between the front seats. On his shoulder, Switch straightened up and twitched his nose, alert. "Pi."

Hayes looked up.

Oh, it was just the loud girl. Switch relaxed and hopped into the driver's seat, peering at her through the window. If she kept up that expression her face would stick that way.

Hayes shut the door and leaned around the windshield rather than shout at her over the top of the van. "The beach. I'm gonna work with Darwin," he explained with a friendly smile that faded to a reluctant grin when he glanced back at the crowd. Hoo boy. "Wasn't really planning on this many people tagging along - someone sent out an e-mail or something."

He smiled at his partner again. "You in?"

Taking a few more steps in, she cast her gaze from Rocket to Rocket,
One of the grunts smirked at her, she just blinked back, then who she recognized as Hayes greeted her with a smile, smiling politely back.
But her attention was pulled to the fact that the grunt had mentioned getting as many people as possible in one car... Faleen laughed, and took another step back, maybe she would sit this training out, as much as it would be nice to have a change of environment for her and her pokemon, she didn't think she would be able to cram in easily.
Distracted for a moment when Nikki showed up, and started talking to Hayes.
