Welcome to Gaia! ::

(('S okay. : D))

"Alrighty, miss, uh . . . " Osmond took a step back, a bit perturbed at Fifi's eyes swelled with tears. They were like tropical oceans ready to drown him whole. Why'd he ever offer? "D-D'ya know what she, he, "Kitty" is attracted to? Shiny things, tassels . . . Um, are you all right?" The blonde's nervous tick caused Osmond to take a step back again. He was a bit baffled when it came to dealing with difficult emotional states.

Cara was startled awake by shouts and screams. "Whas goin on?" She said sleepily. As she sat up, she didn't feel the warmth of her Arcanine next to her, which was rather unusual. Normally she had at least one of her pokemon curled up against her. Realization hit her and she figured out what was going on and what the shouts were about. Pokemon were missing and Tiger was one of them. A rather panicked and stricken look appeared on her normally calm and happy face as she scrambled up and out of her sleeping bag. "Tiger?! Tiger where are you!?" She called out, looking all over. If anything happened to him she would never forgive herself. Rational thought had completely left her, for the time being anyway.

Osmond scooted more away from Fiona. "Lessee . . . " Feeling a tug, Osmond's grey gaze focused downward and, for once in his life, he was brimming with mirth to see his eclectic Electric-type awake. "I'll be over here . . . looking." Away from you. He didn't add as he snatched up his Raichu, fighting officer duties to stick to his word.

Koorie was startled awake from the alarmed cries of the other trainers, wincing a bit at her still sore shoulder. She vaguely remembered Miu returning late last night with a child in tow before the exhausted little vulpix retired to her pokeball. Alarmed by the fact that so many were suddenly missing, she pulled the pokeball out and quickly sent out Miu.

In a rush of relief, she grabbed the confused pokemon and pulled her into a hug, showing a rare moment of attachment and a true smile on her face. "Thank goodness, you're alright."

Gepardo took a deep breath, trying to keep himself form panicking like some of the other trainers and took out his sketch book and a pencil before walking to what he could consider the middle of the group and spoke out to the whole group.

"Everyone! Please!" He spoke loudly without shouting. "Calm yourselves and tell me. What pokemons are missing? If we can find a pattern, maybe we can figure out what happen."

"If it was a type, then they could had been lured away by something in the mountains. If it was rarity, they might had been stolen. If only predators took off, then they could had gone hunting. If not those, then it might do with the legendary we are looking for. Legendary pokemon have weird abilities. So please, everyone calm down and think"

Osmond looked up when Gepardo spoke. "He's got a point, y'know," he agreed, despite his Pokemon not missing. "There has to be some kind of pattern." Then again, he wasn't a great one when it came to critical thinking, and raking his brain for a reason or reasons was like trying to pluck a loose nose hair without tearing up.

Cara took a deep breath to try and focus. Panicking was no good for anyone, and it definitely wouldn't help her find Tiger or help find the other missing pokemon. She looked to the man who had spoken so loudly and walked over to him. Cara thought hard about what he had said. It was true that legendaries did have odd abilities. She thought back to her encounter with the Jirachi. That was indeed a very wild and weird adventure. Then the thought occurred to her that there might be nefarious people about who might have done something, but she would keep that thought to herself. She spoke up then.

"My Arcanine, Tiger, is missing. He was with me when we went to sleep last night and now..." Cara tried to keep the distress from her voice but it was nearly impossible. She knew Tiger could take care of himself but still, the thought of anything bad happening worried her greatly.
