This was going to take all night.
He sighed and finished moving another pile of rubble, Trist butting him lightly in the back impatiently. He brushed off his hands and stretched, still feeling quite miserable from riding and not being used to it yet. Or it could be that he just really sucked at it. He looked around absently as he pulled a water bottle from his bag to share with Trist, wondering how the others were getting along. He was glad that Meeka had caught a poke’mon for her sister, but hadn’t talked to her much since. Or Bug for that matter, sadly. Though he’d heard she caught one too. He felt rather bad for Riza, and wished she would find her first soon, like he’d found Trist.
He took a hearty swig then handed the bottle to the girafarig, whom took it in his lips and tilted his head back expertly, chugging what was left in the bottle. Arashi couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of that. At least he didn’t seem to mind Arashi’s company, even if he was still rather inept at being a trainer. It would come in time, as long as he had the heart.

 Pushing her face over Arashi's, Meeka smiled. "Hiya sleepyhead!" she giggled as she loomed over him. But moreover, she was floating. Ebba was using her as a training obstacle so he can get used to hefting more things when using Psychic. The blue aura around her was quite visible. But she looked more like a ghost as she let her limbs limp as she floated. Poking his forehead, she wondered what he was doing. "Mister Sleepyhead is sleepy..." she groaned. She didn't want to be bothersome. But she was bored, and Meeka did more stupid things when she was bored. Yawning, Ebba grew tired. So he released his trainer from the confines of his Psychic. She immediately dropped onto Arashi. Getting up, rubbing her nose. She groaned. Noticing she was on Arashi, she grew red. Not good! She wasn't heavy. But that fall probably blew all the air out of him. "Sorry Mister Sleepyhead!" she laughed sheepishly. "It was all my stupid deer's fault!" Ebba was too tired though, so he couldn't throw pebbles at her for calling him stupid.

He stretched as he woke, groaning when his muscles responded with protests and soreness. Ridley had worked late into the night and had managed to grab a few hours of sleep before sunrise. They'd made some progress with the landslide, but Ridley suspected there'd have to be a miracle if they hoped to make it through that wall in time. Which worked well enough for him! He yawned, running his fingers through his hair and getting up, letting Soulcrusher, whom he'd been using as a pillow, sleep on. The Tauros had worked just as hard as he had, perhaps harder.
Shaking out his legs as he headed over to the wagons to get some food, he looked around the campsite at the others and frowned. Thankfully, it seemed that this thing was close to over. He certainly wouldn't be pursing Team Rocket across Zatao, if it came to that. Back home to Katarina and Fuzzbutt... that sounded nice about now.

Letting out a soft groan, Lock buried his face into the glossy fur of his persian. The man lightly clinging to the feline pokemon that curled about him. He had worked most of the night and had finally collapsed from exhaustion somewhere near the blocked entrance.
Faraon yawned, stretching out his paws for a moment, he licked his fans before turning his head towards his owner. "...." He pawed lightly at the man's head, trying to wake him up.
Lock dismissed him with weak swapping of his hand. "Nuuuu....ten more hours...."
The persian sighed and close his eyes for a moment before letting out an electric attack on the human.
"GYAAAAAH!!!!!" Lock jolted to his feet then fell collapsed right back down, the blind persian just yawned.

 Riza sat up and rubbed her eyes, definately with a slowpoke syndrome. She had fallen asleep outside her wagon last night, which wasn't such a smart idea. She was stiff everywhere! Geeze!
Groaning, she stood up, and looked around. Early again! Shrugging she went for a walk around the wagons like last time, hoping it would make her feel a bit better and stretch some of her stiff limbs.

On and off, teams had been working hard to get through the dirt and rock that covered the entrance, blocking their way into the entrance of the cave. On and off all night Liam had been woken by pokemon attacks, grunts of effort from the trainers, and bodies shifting around him as they tried to get through. Several times during the night he remembered being shaken gently, told that it was his turn, but other than that, it was all very vague. So he either had sleep-walked through the entire event... or he had told whoever had shaken him to F off.
It was very early morning now. Liam awoke to the tips of rose-colored sunlight starting to creep over the ground, the pink turning to a pale yellow as it rose higher in the sky. The healer gave a muffled curse, opening his eyes halfway and looking around once before sitting up, looking groggy and a little cranky due to lack of sleep. Then again, this entire trip had been nothing but wagon destruction, assassination attempts, and a tranquilizer dart shot into his spine. Somehow he thought he had the right to be a little cranky. Yawning irritably at the early-bird pidgeys, he arched his back, groaning, readying himself to start this Arceus-forsaken day.
He just knew it was going to be one hellovan afternoon.

Ridley looked around at Lock's cry, blinking. He saw that it was just an unpleasant awakening and went back to his bagel, munching contentedly. Luckily no one had raided his supply of Motterossan baked goods. Leaning against the wagon, he squinted at the horizon, watching the sun rise idly. It wasn't very exciting and he wasn't so sentimental about it, but he needed something to look at to keep his thoughts from wandering dangerous avenues while he ate.

 [speed things up from where I left off last]
Kayla sighed as she rested up a bit from digging. Her whole team was helping out, except Quin but they still couldn't get very far. Quin attempted to help out but he didn't have a move that would assist them too well. It was after a few hours of hard labor of Kayla's three pokemon that Quin had a brilliant idea to help. Chattered to the gang, they all agreed that Quin could use his Iron Tail to break down the large boulders that even they could not move and the others will take it away.
It was an effective teamwork. Adira would use Rock Smash, Hammer Arm or moves similiar to it to break down more rocks before moving them to a different area.
Hea assist by using her psyhcic attacks to transfer the boulders and rocks away and Grinch...well he was moving them and playing with them at the same time.

Lock manage to get up, suddenly feeling the energy that the cruel electric attack had store in him. "...." He glared at the feline, who just had gone back to sleep before he got up and walked over wagon five, raiding his bag for any food, only finding the jar of berries. Walking back, he sat by Faraon and munched away at a berry.

 Rummaging around in one of the food wagons, Kai pulled out a few random things to eat and hoped they were edible. She let out a small sigh, she didn't like keeping a low profile, but she had to for fear of being outted by everyone in camp.
Her thoughts drifted to the trainers she had met, would she miss them? No, probably not, she would most likely see them around. ...But would they hate her? Somehow the juicy plum she bit into didn't help her think much at all.

Yeah, the walk did help, Riza sighed, doing a few other stretches her mother had shown her. She wished she had done them before jumping into working the other day...they she wouldn't be so sore.
She fiddled with her bandage...it had gotten stiff again overnight too. She carefully untied it to survey the damage the back of her hand had sustained since it would be easier to see now with a clear head and a bit of light. She winced at the look of it, "Eww...gross..."
But at least it didn't hurt anymore.
She dug around in her bag for the container of water she had collected and poured some of it out over her hand. She frowned, Well....it's a bit better...
Riza tossed the container back in her bag and dig around for some food. Argh, she had eaten the last of the riceballs a while ago. Time to go back to the food wagon.
She didn't like going there much, mostly because she actually had to look for something to eat...she was a bit picky about her food choices. Trying not to trudge around like a zombie, she looked around to see if anyone else was up. It was easier to wait until no one was there to get food--that way she had free digging range.
"Shoot," she said, "Someone beat me to it..--you!" Riza exclaimed, pointing.
Didn't see that coming.

Hearing someone scream from behind, she quickly turned around, hoping her fear of being found out wasn't about to come true. Instead, she found the short girl she had met some time ago, you know, that one that tagged behind her for a couple nights?
"...Yes?" Kailana cocked an eyebrow as she wondered why the houndoom she was yelling near her yet again. Was she still upset about what she did the other day? She swallowed her bite of plum, not freaking out like Riza had.

Liam took the time to gurgle his annoyance to the world before getting up and stretching, slowly making his way over to the still whole food wagon. He kind of missed Wagon Three. Not that it had had anything particularly different about it, but it had been his traveling home for a few days. Plus it had held food, and with it gone more people were eating from wagon two, which meant less food in general, and what Liam thought everyone failed to realize was they had to get back home with this food too. Unless they randomly met a nice pokemon who would teleport them back. Which he found highly unlikely.
Taking a short drink from a water bottle he had found in the fridge, Liam headed over to where Ridley was standing, yawning again. The healer found it slightly more awkward than it had been before. Even just the gesture of standing next to him made him fidget uncomfortably, the usually passive silence seeming uncomfortable now. Tilting his head back, Liam reached up to pull the hairtie from his hair, combing his fingers idly through it.
"So," he murmured after a time, his voice seeming smooth and calm despite his internally awkward feeling, "How'd you sleep?"

"You, you, you....ah...um...nothing, never mind," she finished lamely, trying to think. But her thoughts had all mushed up. She was tired, sore, and hungry, and definitely not in the mood for making accusations past the "point" and "you!"
Instead she rummaged through the food cart with her good hand, trying to find something edible...from her point of view. Sighing, she settled for an apple, which seemed to be the only like-able thing left in the food wagon.
She did, however, find a suitable cloth for a bandage in there as well.
Riza plopped down on the ground and wrapped her hand up again before taking a bit into the apple. It was a bit more sour then she would have liked, so she just gulped it down instead of actually tasting it.
She would have given Kai the silent treatment, but she knew the other trainer probably wouldn't care, "So....anyone besides me know that you're.....?"

Lock had gone to see what startle some girl in to yelping loudly enough for him to hear it several wagons away. The man stepped behing Riza. "Well...unless I am chopped liver, I would say two people know of her presence."
