Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I suppose that would make sense." But what was Archie's cause? The thought bugged him. Even if the cause was worth while, how long could Allen follow Archie? Sure the other night hit the nail on the head for Allen, but the guy seemed like there was so much more behind him than just raiding businesses and destroying police cars. "There are just more and more questions, I suppose." He sighed, removing his cap to scratch his head. "So I need to get out and stretch my legs, you're welcome to join me." He stood, stretching his back out. "If not, see ya around."

Cody peered around the corner, careful to stay out of sight as he eavesdropped on the conversation between the two trainers.
"Building a weapon? Kyogre?" he thought to himself. There was a lot said that he couldn't quite wrap his head around. Taking out his TADS device, he made a few notes before slipping it back into his pocket and appearing from around the corner as the conversation seemed to be coming to a close. The trainer waved to the two individuals sitting in the common room, not expecting to be noticed as Dark was involved with his computer and Allen's back was turned. "Hey, guys," he spoke as if not expecting a response, popped into the kitchen to grab a soda, and headed for the couches, plopping into the same armchair he had claimed the past couple days. "Any news?"

Cody hopped up from his seat and took off down the hallway after Allen. "Hey, wait for me!" he called to the trainer, pulling a pokeball from his belt. "Poochy, let's go for a walk!" the boy tossed the ball into the air as he caught up to his team member. Looking to him, he asked, "Allen, right? Sorry. I'm really bad with names."

Cody pulled out his TADS communicator and shot a message to Abi's device. It was convenient that all of his team members had automatically been synced into his phone.
Heading out to the beach. Waiting on you, slowpoke.
He slid open the familiar steel door and popped out into the night, waiting by the door for her response.

Abigail heard the call and also received a message on her TADS. "Oh shoot!" She quickly returned Wingull, then raced to find the others.

Once outside, she greeted the two with a warm smile. Squirtle did the same, though his was more of a cheesy grin. "Hey y'all! Where are we going?"

Squirtle, upon seeing the action taking place between the pokemon, crept behind them with intentions to pounce when they were unawares. Abigail laughed at Cody's answer. "Ah, yes. Getting to know people is probably great; especially when you're working in a dangerous field." She continued to walk alongside them, eager to listen and learn more about the two.

"Tell me about it," the boy agreed. Cody could see making a good friend out of Allen, their social mannerisms and feelings being very similar. "I'm pretty down for whatever, honestly," he commented, not caring about catching any pokemon, per se. "I know my Pikachu hasn't seen any action since Sunday, and is probably dying for a good battle, though."

Poochy backed up, preparing to tackle the Cubchoo to the ground, but gained too much forward momentum upon takeoff and launched himself way over the friendly pokemon's head, getting a mouthful of sand as he landed. Looking down, Cody laughed at the Dark-type's stunt. "That's what you get," he laughed, shaking his head.
