Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, I'd love to get a picture of the Togepi," Shaun agreed. "And congratulations on catching one."

Once the little pokemon was released, Shaun kneeled down to be closer to it's level, though he stayed a couple feet away to give the little one some space. "Well aren't you a little cutie, with your big purple eyes and your bold markings," he said. He pulled out his camera but didn't start taking pictures yet.

Salvo stood patiently nearby, waiting to find out what they'd be doing next. Though he did wish he'd had a chance to grab a bite of the berries that had been gathered by the Buneary from earlier.

Joey crouched down as well, peering at the small pokemon. "I...think it's a girl," he finally ventured.

Lily Rose flopped down since it seemed they wouldn't be going anywhere, then stretched her head forwards a bit, sniffing at the togepi. It stared at her with big purple eyes, before suddenly toddling forward and hiding it's face in Lily Rose's ruff. Lily Rose froze, looking at Joey with 'what do I dooooo?' written all over her face.

"Uh...I think she likes you?" Joey guessed. "Just be nice?"

Emalthya struggled through the grass steadily becoming elephant grass- you know, grass you could lose an elephant in. (Maybe mamoswine?) "Pheonix, I can barely see you," she said.

Pheonix put her back on his back. The grass reached up to his own head so she was barely better off by vision standards, but he had an easier time getting through the grass even so.

"Oooh," said Emalthya, jumping down from Pheonix's back as they reached the shaded, grassless clearing. "AACHOO!" She sneezed. "Ugh... I need another antihistamine..."

As she rummaged in her back for a pill, Pheonix saw the dunsparse appear. He grunted to get her attention. With the pill between her teeth and her drink bottle in her hands, Emalthya saw the fat little dunsparse.

"Aww, so sweet!" said Emalthya after she had swallowed. "What's this- oh those bellsprout! How can a flower look angry? They look angry!"

The bellsprout converged on the dunsparse, readying their attacks. Pheonix flared angrily; two on one was not good sports! Unless the pokemon they fought was him. He took a step forward-

"No, Pheonix," said Emalthya urgently. "You can't hurt a grass pokemon, you might kill it. We'll watch, okay, and if anything bad happens, we'll fly off with the dunsparse and let it go later."

Pheenix shook his head. He didn't want to fight a puny grass pokemon. It would be very unsporting, but it was very bad for them to fight the dunsparse when it was so weak. He had other moves; he would just not set them on fire.

Emalthya bowed her head a little. "I suppose we can make an exception... for the sake of an innocent pokemon."

Pheonix stepped forward, scary claws outstretched.

((Basically I don't think I'm going to understand how this works

The battle over, Emalthya and Pheonix listened to the explanation of the Immortality Granter. She began giggling uncontrollably. "That's so funny! We came for a dunsparse! Oh wow!"

Pheonix hadn't come for the immortality granter. He had come to have a good time with his trainer. Their lives didn't always have to be training and hard work. He looked down at her, hoping she was still happy about coming. That she was still laughing was answer enough.

She finally controlled her laughter. "Well, that was fun. We got to see murder and paint some rocks and prevent a murder... Good day, yeah, Pheonix?"

Pheonix nodded and rubbed her chin with his snout.

"We have loads to tell Saphire! I'm sure she'll love it- she might have been sad she couldn't come because... well... grasslands... But we didn't do anything too great. Let's see what else happens and let's go back." She took his claw in her hand and they waited.

"Oh! That's a really good idea!" Joey said enthusiastically. He gave another bit of poffin to his new Togepi, then straightened up a bit to see if he could spot the Togekiss.


((Joey wants to ask your Togekiss if his Togepi is a girl or a boy. It's a girl.))

Niko just watched as some trainers started to leave the area and some who decided stay around a bit longer to try and catch an actual Dunsparce. or a Bellsprout? The Safari Balls just kept on raining down on any kind of pokemon that they see today!. Except for that one Buneary who decided on its own who their trainer will be. Nevertheless he threw his one and only Safari Ball at the weakened pokemons again.

He too was curious to know if he would be able to catch a pokemon this time around. Being part of the group that waited, he sat down not too far away from the three pokemon and rested against a treetrunk. He took a short snack break as he watched his Safari Ball wiggle about trying to capture a pokemon from the wild.

His Togekiss however, spotted a fluffy orange and white pokemon he had seen hours ago. "PI - ko?" he cooed to his trainer. Over there, it's the trainer and pokemon from before.

"What is it Piko? Did you find more pokemon?" he asked, and looked to see what he was looking at. It was Joey and his furry Growlithe.

He raised a hand and waved while he got up, his other hand busy holding onto a semi unwrapped chocolate bar. "Joey! Hey Joey!" he called out, and took a bite into the chocolate.





(( I don't mind helping out! ))

"Yes it was." Gormlaith said watching as people threw pokeballs at the three remaining pokemon, "We should meet up some other time. Perhaps go out for some coffee or something and talk about contests." She gave Vanadis a quick pet on the head and looked over at Jorge.
