Welcome to Gaia! ::

A red blob with a brown smudge could be found on the roof of Maddy's house. Rei was sleeping rather soundly, taking advantage of the lull in action and cloudy weather. At his side, a Mawile and Shelgon were busy fighting over what to take with them before the Kalos journey.

"I think we should take the extra clothes," Mawile was saying to her contrary partner. "Heaven knows when we'll get an opportunity to buy items from Fashion Central again."

The Shelgon scoffed. "Please, as if you wear clothes anyway." The Mawile huffed.

"Of - of course I do!" she complained. "See?" She turned her massive jaws to face the unimpressed Shelgon.

"So? You have a crumb on your other face."

"It's not a crumb, Nimrod Cloud," she snarked, "it's a pin. And it's on a hat. But you're too dumb or too blind to understand fashion," she said. Emo Cloud cried out in protest.

"I understand fashion!" He pulled out his suitcase. "You see this tie? This is a silk] tie." He placed the navy tie on himself. "What do you think? Pretty fancy, I'd say."

Mawile rolled her eyes. "Silk is soooooo last year. And are those polka dots? Ugh."

"Oh, you noticed them? They're cream-colored."

Rei finally awoke to hear his two Pokémon yammering away.

"Alright you two, let's go back inside. I'm hungry, and maybe today the kitchen has some grub," he said hopefully. He slid down the roof, landed only a little foolishly, and made his way inside.

Rei blinked. Did he just see what he thought he saw...?

"I didn't know Gardevoir could wear undergarments..." he muttered. He turned to look at Mawile, who was sticking her tongue at Emo Cloud. Deciding not asking was better for his health, he shrugged and headed towards the kitchen. A quick search revealed that the area was bone-dry. His stomach growled, and he winced.

"Where'd you even get those?!" Jake yells as the fight cloud goes on.
"(Off that sexy Plasma chick you suplexed. I bet she has a fun night life.)" Star responds foxily. "(Look at this pair I got too!)"
The fight cloud stops as a pair of panties appear in Jake's hand. They were pink and frilly and almost a thong. Star picks the tag up in the back for Jake.
"(Isn't it cute?! She wrote her name on them!)" She was practically squeeing.
"Rene? Isn't that Caleb's sis-" He suddenly goes quite and looks around shiftily. "Misery or Star or whatever, what the hell are you doing with these?!"
"(Hmm?)" She gets a sly smirk after seeing Jake's reaction."(They're my most valuable pair. Something so sexy and adorable... How could I not take them?)"
"Y.. You have to give them back! This is invasion of privacy, to say the least!"
"(Ohhhhh?)" She moves right up close to Jake as if to whisper something in his ear. But she doesn't because she communicates telepathically. "(I could return them. But then she'd know where they went. You really believe she'd think that I, a lovable female Pokemon, whose very existence is to obey my trainer, would take her panties?)" Jake could see the evil in her eyes.
"I... I..." He just sighs and hands them back. He hangs his head in defeat. "Just stop taking them from people we know please..."
Star smiles like the Grinch as the pairs of panties vanish thanks to psychic energy.
"(Or I just won't tell you anymore~)" Her smile becomes innocent.

Rose, on her way to the Reflection Cave, carried her marill in her bike basket and spoke to it, as she didn't always get time to just talk to Marill alone now that she had so many Pokemon, and she had hatched the shiny Pokemon from an egg. She made decent time on her Bicycle and soon approached the cave. At the entrance, she stopped and used her TADS to contact the other members of team aqua and asked them if anyone wanted to teleport to the entrance of the Reflection cave and join her in catching a Pokemon.

Marshtomp slid across the floor whenever he stopped running. He needed a hiding place! Rei's cloak looked like it'd be perfect. Without hesitating, Marshtomp dove under. Caleb trudged over to the others, rubbing his eyes.

"Mmmorning....I think..." he mumbled sleepily.

Rei looked down at his feet. Did something rush past him before they were teleported? He shrugged. No matter. Must've been the wind.

The Countess looked down at Rei's back, where a distinctive fin was poking out from the cloak. She shook her head and laughed before flying ahead and scouting the area, as per custom whenever she and Rei were in a cave system.

Caleb stood there in the cave blinking. Looking a bit green around the gills Caleb. He swallowed whatever substance was rising up his throat, looking even more sick than before. Not to mention a bit pale. He picked up his bag that was sitting a few steps away.

He flinched when he stood up straight again and heard shouting. He turned around to see Allen. This guy.

Caleb pursed his lips. "That poor rock..."
