Leader-Sama-07 in reply to lady mistFlint looks at her shyly and shrugs " i dunno, but i hope we get going soon, im way excited hopefully i can catch my first pokemon" he says shifting from foot to foot in anticipation  Lumina looked up from her childhood friend to greet the fellow group member, "Ooh, your first as well? Going to be a trainer or some such?"
She grinned, the energy of the group spiking her own, "I'm a watcher myself, but I'm out for my first pokemon as well."

Rhia turned to Opal and smiled broadly. "Good luck with your group." Then she turned to Zen. "And you as well!"
With that last goodbye done, she turned and trotted over to a clear space to try and find some more people from her group. A Ponyta was being fed what looked like treats, or maybe sugar... and that was a green band! Rhia dug in her bag for Castor and once she had his Pokeball in hand hesitantly approached the girl.
She offered a small smile when she got closer. "Ah, hello. I think we happen to be in the same caravan." She waved her Pokeball slightly. "We'll be traveling together for the next few days."
She released Castor so that the band could be viewed. The Ponyta looked at the sky and snorted, seeming pleased that the rain was gone. "See? Both green. I'm Rhia, by the way."

Raina had spent the morning traveling from store to store in search of all the supplies she would need for the adventure. After seeing the news report she knew she couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. After stopping to get a new parka, lots of granola bars and beef jerky, and all the supplies she needed to replenish her first aid kit she deemed herself ready to go. "Ready guys?" she questioned as she looked over her pokemon. Amaryllis was already perched atop Branimir's head and Ayirwen was nodding vigorously though she knew she was about to be returned to her pokeball, and Branimir kept fidgeting like he was about to run off without her. "Alright then." the young trainer said as she returned her dewgong to her ball and then climbed onto her arcanine's back.
Branimir headed off at an easy jogging pace and was soon on the outskirts of town. Ahead they could see the caravan getting ready to leave. "Let's see if there is anyone I recognize over there." Raina told Branimir and they headed towards the caravan. Eyes peeled for familiar faces.

Mina Killian hurried towards Katarina, one hand keeping her hat from falling off and the other shielding her eyes from the rain. The drizzle had been unexpected, but it did little to deter her, and she soon found the ranch she had been searching for. Stepping inside, she went up to Bill, the rancher in charge of the rental Pokemon. After a quick inquiry, she found herself with a form to fill out and sign, which she completed and handed to Bill along with the payment.
Outside, she noticed the sky was clearing up, and groups were already gathering. Before she could wonder how late she was, she rushed off to the stables in the back, where a few Pokemon were left. She instantly headed towards a Ponyta as soon as she saw one, smiling. A Ponyta had been the first Pokemon she had traveled with, but it had belonged to her father and she had made sure to return it before she had come to Zatao.
She mounted the Ponyta after a small greeting (in which she discovered the Ponyta was female, and had been nicknamed Anala), and made sure her saddle and reins weren't too tight. She pulled curiously at the purple cloth around Anala's neck before going out tentatively in search of her group.

@BP & Any Red
Penelope turned her head to see who was shouting for them to slow down. Oh! Another red! She slowed Bongo to drop back and ride with this girl.
"Hey! I'm Pen! What's your name?"
Stitch was curled up on Bongo's nose, taking a nap.

 Jypsum looked out at the receding storm as the rain stopped. "Good riddance, right Odette?" she asked the Onix who's back she was sitting on.
"Onnn." she replied. Odette lifted her head, noticing the other rental pokemon gathering together to leave. "On onnn." she told Jypsum, glancing at the young girl before slowly starting towards her "pack".
"Eek! Is it time to go now?" She asked the large rock snake as she clung on. She then yelled over her shoulder to her sister's Raichu, "Come on Cas! Stop ogling the girls, we're gunna leave soon!"

She'd ended up giving the ponyta a bit of resting time while she'd hurried off to the pokemart to grab a few last minute supplies as the rain began to end. The treats were mainly for the ponyta she'd taken to calling 'Draumr' and not her sister's fussy Banette. Yuzu hadn't seen that as fair and had forced her into buying some treats for her too. As it were the Banette was now hovering near her head with a small bag of treats, sharing them between herself and the ponyta. "You two don't eat all of those because it'll be a while before we get to another pokemart." She huffed, checking the saddlebags on Draumr. Her backpack would remain on her back and everything else would be set in the saddlebags but in easy reach. Seeing that most of her group was getting mounted and ready to leave, Tabitha swung up on Draumr's back, settled herself in the saddle and proceeded to follow them.Click the picture for full size

"Kipper, get out of that puddle - Enide, stop harassing Skylar!" Sienna's palm met her face before quickly bringing out the two birds' pokeballs. "Return, you two trouble-makers." The bird keeper had decided to let her flock loose to stretch their wings before they moved out, but as usual, Kipper's hyperactive nature got and Enide's constant invasion of personal space got out of hand. "C'mere, Skylar." Sienna cooed to the swablu. Being the timid thing he was, Skylar didn't like anyone's attention at all, except for Sienna's. The bird egarly perched on his trainer's shoulder and preened himself.
The brown-haired trainer looked up at the sky as the clouds broke. "Alright! Time to move out~" She stated happily. Sienna climbed aboard her pidgeot. "Skylar, do you want to fly with us?" The swablu on her shoulder looked flustered before chirping and nodding. "Great! Fly, Frey!" The pidgeot beat his wings with a grumble. Sometimes his trainer's cheerfulness just plain got on his nerves...
@NANA:As they took to the sky, Sienna noticed another trainer traveling by pidgeot. "Hello there!" She called over the wind, the person looked oddly familiar. "Hey, did you go on that expedition to the mines a while ago?"

Lucine smiled at Lumina, "I got held up with a foaling so I almost didn't make it." She huffed and ran fingers through her fly-away hair.
She laughed a little, "How is it you never managed to learn to ride? I know you've seen ride-able pokemon before... your mom must have studied hundreds!"
Lucine put gentle pressure on her ponytas to keep up with the group.
"I'm here to watch primarily... but I wouldn't say no to a catch," he ace shone with eagerness and excitement.

"Oh geez-"
There was a rumbling at the back of the group and an Onix with a red cloth tied around its horn surged forward with a guttural roar, kicking up dust and flattening roadside plants as it fought to get to the head of the group, closer to Penelope's mount.
Oh, and there was a human on there. Somewhere.

As the groups finally started to move out, Ridley remounted Soulcrusher and rode him out to the front of the barn, watching the groups start off. He wanted to keep a low profile so he didn't rush out, waiting for Liam and enjoying the sunny weather, shedding his leather jacket again, minding his mount and trying not to think too hard about the task he must complete, steeling his nerves.

 (@Rhia)
Anima smiled at the trainer that had approached her and nodded. "It's very nice to meet you, Rhia! My name is Anima." She pat Po's neck gently. "And this is Po."

"Well, we're off at last, girl. Does that make you happier?" He tried mounting up on the Ponyta but she wouldn't have her. Danny wasn't alarmed by this, instead he just led her by the lead line. "That's alright, if you want to rest a bit then we can walk side-by-side for a while instead." Despite her cold demeaner toward him, the Ponyta was willing to be led. They took a place with the rest of the group and followed along at a steady pace.
((Sorry if I don't respond to anyone. I've got company and am running to the computer when I can.))

The hustle and bustle of people readying their pokemon to leave awoke the sleeping young woman. Removing herself from her hiding spot in the barn, Zoey brushed some loose straw from her orange hair as she led her packed and saddled rental pontya from the stables. The ranch owner was kind and gave her a gentle tempered rental when he heard of her inexperience in riding. A violet ribbon hung from the pokemon’s ear, identifying her group.
“I wonder where we’re supposed to go,” she asked the pontya as she looked out upon the other trainers as they began to gather in preparation to leave. “I guess we better go join them.”
