"Take it sloooooow Prince!" Luna warned as her pidgeot slowly brought down the second fridge for wagon two. Prince tried to slow his descent as much as possible, but it was hard, even for him, to have a light landing while carrying a twenty pound fridge. The fridge landed on the edge of wagon two with a loud "thump" and caused the wagon to tip a little. Prince perched on the fridge, satisfied with his work.
"Thanks Prince~Can you go scout the area ahead of us for now?" She asked, the pidgeot as she crawled into the wagon to put a lock on the fridge to ward off her constantly hungry dewgong and to make sure no trainers would eat their rations. Luna and Jen had been given a limited fund for the trip, so they were only able to buy just enough food for six days.
"Oh, ChuChu, com'mon~Lesse if there's anyone in our wagon!" Luna beckoned for her raichu, who was currently putting a second lock on the fridge, to follow.
"Rai rai~" ChuChu replied, scampering back to her trainer's side.
---
Close to her wagon, she now spotted the approaching figure of Kayla. Finally! Someone had arrived! And with a tauros ready to be hooked up as well. Perfect.
"Heeeeeey Kayla~!" Luna said, waving wildly as she ran to the wagon.

Renekai stumbled in, rubbing her eyes. Bell was at her side, glowering as usual. "Oh gosh," Renekai said, running a hand through her bed-head hair. "Am I late?" she asked meekly to no one in particular. Renekai blinked and looked down. Well, she had been in a hurry while she was getting dressed, but why did she have a sock on her hand? Renekai pulled it off, then blushed. She had managed to dress the rest of herself properly, albeit her feet were donned in mismatching socks and her shoelaces were untied, but Renekai had forgotten to brush her hair and teeth. Upon checking, Renekai found that she had very bad breath.
"What a way to start the day," Renekai chimed in a dull tone to Bell. "At least I brought... Oh no, where is it?!" Renekai looked all over for the bag that she had brought with her, that held a few handy items. "Darn it," she muttered. "At least I brought my pokeball." Renekai had only checked that morning fifty times to be sure that she brought it. Never had Renekai had a worse start... No wonder Bell was already grumpy. But then, Renekai wasn't used to waking up so early. It wasn't her fault that she had forgotten to set the alarm clock... Well, actually, that was her fault.
Bell had refused to enter her pokeball, so she was already out and glaring at her surroundings. There were so many pokemon here already... Bell began to grow anti-social at the thought of it, her disapproving stare sprinting down the trail to hatred.

"Heyy." Lamen waved lazily at the other trainer when she spotted her, causing the Tauros to push his big head against her in a request for more scratching, nearly tilting her over along with the crate. "Agh-! Oh man." Jumping off the crate to avoid being stuck with Tauros Massage Service all morning, she noticed the other trainers arriving. They were also being a lot more helpful than she, as they had immediately begun to work, along with their pokemon.
Hmm... wow. Well, I guess I should do something.
Glancing at the paper she held, Lamen found herself assigned to wagon two.
"Alright then, Tauros. Come along."
Led on by the belief that he would get more scratches if he did, the Tauros allowed Lamen to bring him to the wagon with the hand she had placed on his side.

Although it was the crack of dawn, Ridley was wide awake and ready. He'd barely slept the night before, too excited to lay still. After all, this was his first mission assignment for Team Rocket. How they'd managed to wrangle him into this group, he had no idea... but he supposed it didn't really matter. He adjusted the pack on his back, his leather jacket protecting him from the morning's chill, black tape carefully covering the red R's on the shoulders. Once the Ninetails had passed him the list and withdrew it, he figured out he was on Wagon Three along with... Liam?! As if this trip needed any more excitement!
Seeing that someone else was already bringing a Tauros to his assigned wagon, he went to put down his pack and glanced at the field where the bull-like Pokemon were grazing, considering going to get the second one for the wagon. "Hmm, how to do this..."

 Kayla was fixing attach the tauros to the wagon when she heard someone calling out to her. She winced slightly, recognizing that voice anywhere. Luna. She was the very first trainer to battle her newbie self and trashed her and her pokemon to ashes. It'll be very hard for Kayla to forget Luna.
Kayla shook her head an slight amusement before turning around and greeting Luna.
"Hey, Luna!" Waving with the remaining hand as the other still had a grip on the tauros' halter. The bull pokemon tried to go back to the area of grass that it was eating before but Kayla kept a tight grip on the reins. It sighed, snorted and stomped its hoof in impatience and frustration but again, no other resistance. "How are you?"

Stretching and yawning as she moved around slightly, Lenne woke up from the sound of her alarm clock blaring. This was the earliest she had woken up in what seemed like years to her. The clock flashed a half hour till seven repeatedly until Lenne finally managed to turn the clock off.
"Ugh..." She grumbled as she scooted herself out of bed.
Slowly she managed to shower and get dressed, appropriately as she thought. Today's outfit consisted of a tee-shirt, mildly designed in a taste that suited herself, and some skinny dark jeans that were well enough fashionable for her to make it through the day. She wasn't one to wear boots, so her feet consisted of their usual flats.
After making sure she had all her items packed she made her way out the hotel door and out to where the wagons were setting up.

"Raichu rai?"
"NO AEON! If I put that in, it'll make every sick!" She laughed and poked her Raichu gently with the ladle handle, earning a glare in return. Aeon had wanted to put sour cream or something resembling it into the berry salad sitting on a large chunk of ice beside her foot.
"RAICHU!"
"Aeon! Stoppit, don't whine." A few more pokes with the ladle. " How about....go grab a few more berries for me, 'kay? I'll make ya some pastries if I can find some whipped cream in one of the fridges'."
Aeon was off like a shot as her words, dashing towards the bushes while squeeing like a tiny Pichu. A sigh and a headshake...Jen smiled to herself before continuing to stir the stew simmering over the campfire.

"I'm good~" She said, giving the Tauros a pat before quickly hooking it up to the wagon and giving it a spare berry she kept in her bag. "Thanks for getting the Tauros ready!"
Waking up at 5 AM was getting to her a bit though...Luna stiffled the yawn that was about to errupt from her mouth. "We still need to get another tauros though...two tauros a wagon..." She said, scanning the field for another tauros to abduct. There were still a few, but they were starting to wander away from the camp. She knew that the bull pokemon wouldn't get too far away from the camp, but who knows what a loud bang could do? They had to grab a Tauros quickly.

After tethering the rather docile Tauros to wagon two, Lamen thought she should probably look for the organizers.
-"RoooOOs."
"Okay, fine, scratches first." She tiredly answered the Tauros, giving him what he wanted for a good few minutes before she heard a familiar voice, calling out an unfamiliar name. Looks like Luna knew a lot of people here already. Awesome.
Lamen searched around the site until she found the two trainers, and walked over to them with a smile. "Hey, Luna, and good morning to both of you. Fancy meeting you here. So, what brought you to join this excursion?" She held out a hand to Kayla and introduced herself. "I'm Lamen. Nice to meet you."

Renekai looked around, feeling lost. Everyone else looked busy... Then she spotted a paper on the ground. She picked it up and read it. She was with wagon one. Renekai wandered over there, trying to brush the tangles out of her hair with her hand, to little avail. Renekai sighed. She just hoped that no one would stare or comment on her less-than-ready 'do. Renekai also made sure that, if or when she spoke to somebody, she'd be far enough away that hopefully her bad breath wouldn't reach them. When Renekai reached the wagon, she saw a puddle in which she could see herself. Renekai blushed again at the state of her hair. Why did she roll around in her sleep so much?
Renekai sighed and made to step right in the puddle to reach the wagon, but Bell froze it just before her foot hit it, making Renekai slip and fall hard on her back, looking at Bell upside down. Bell was laughing. Renekai made to say something harsh to her pokemon, but closed her mouth again. What was the point? Renekai got moodily to her feet and peeked into wagon one. Hey... What were in those boxes? Renekai stared, her curiosity dispelling a bit of her grumpy mood.

6:15 am was too early. Too early to get up, too early to eat, too early to think. Any reasonable creature would be still sleeping at this time of day. Or at least, that was Liam's point of view. Why would anyone decide to wake up this early, let alone enjoy it. He had not realized when he had signed up for this expedition that he would have to wake up so early. Of course his Aunt Joy had left that part out.
He did, however, realize the importance of being on time.
Yawning once at a pidgey who was chirping far too loud and cheerfully to be normal, the healer trudged towards the wagons, his pale blue eyes only half open. The dew had not yet evaporated from the grass -- a fact he noticed when the legs of his jeans began to feel damp. He didn't seem to notice, however. In fact, the young healer had yet to really notice anything, which was especially evident when he almost ran into the list that was hovering as if by magic before his eyes.
"Eh?"
Quickly scanning it, Liam blinked when his eyes read over one of the names, grinning slightly through the haze of grogginess. Ridley eh? This could be fun after all.

As Lenne walked to the outskirts of town, she realized that she had neither of her pokemon out with her. Deiciding which need more time outside, she went into her bag and pulled out a shiny new-looking pokeball that contained her squirrelly friend.
"Come on out Piper!" Lenne called as she tossed up Piper's pokeball and the Pachirisu revealed herself.
"Paaccchiii!"
Piper seemed happy to be out of her ball for a change, and stretched enthusiastically. Lenne, deciding that Piper needed to fit the scene of going on an adventure, tied a yellow scarf around her neck.
"There, adorable." Lenne said to her pokemon as they finally made their way to the wagons.
"Ah, I see people! Am I late?!" Lenne thought that the poster said to be there at 10am, and it surely couldn't be THAT late could it? She took out her phone and realized it was barely 7 o'clock and made her way down to the wagons.
There she found a Ninetails waiting to greet her with a list attached to a clipboard.
"Um..." Lenne carefully scanned the list, realizing it contained where and whom she would be staying with. "Wagon two hmm? Alright." Watching the others around her, she made her way over to the second wagon.

Ridley straightened, seeing the group of women at the front of the wagons were occupied. He followed Luna's gaze to the Tauros. Oh, right, they needed another one for the wagon. He turned to go out and try to wrangle one, then noticed Liam standing off in the grass, reading the Ninetails' list. He opened his mouth to call, but then glanced at the Tauros. He didn't want to spook them and risk a stampede.
Wading out into the grass, he waved at Liam, smiling and pointing at a nearby Tauros and then at the wagon.

Kayla waved off Luna's thanks. "It's alright. Might as well get on with it right?"
Kayla could see that Luna was starting to suffer from lack of sleep as she watched Luna yawn loudly. Laughing a bit, Kayla helped Luna finishing up hooking the Tauros up to the wagon before looking around to get another one.
Around that time, Adira and Grinch came back with arms full of food. Kayla could see some jerky, apples, ganoloa bars, water bottles and then some.
Blinking in surpirse. "Where did you get all those?!" Eyes narrowing. "You didn't steal any of them did you?" Her glare set on Grinch since he was the most logical to have stolen anything. Grinch seems to find some pleasure taking things that didn't belong to him and Kayla often had to apologies profusely to the person he stole from when she had to give it back.
Grinch eyes widen and hid behind Adira would just rolled her eyes but continued onto towards the wagon to load her share of food on it. Grinch shook his head fantically at the accusation of Kayla as he also unloaded his arms.
"Then how did you get them?" Kayla eyes were still narrowed in suspistion.
Grinch grinned toothly and flashed out one of Kayla's credit card.
"Cu-cu-cu-cubone!" Grinch was dancing around happily at the thought of being honest this time and thinking that his trainer would be pleased that he didn't steal this time but he was not paying much attention to Kayla as he danced.
