Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Leonard arrived at the scene, the first thing that he thought was that he was glad he chose to dress in a t-shirt and shorts instead of a uniform. Even the agents and elites had decided to dress down, so he couldn't get into any trouble with the clothing department.

And he was late to the party, as usual. Normally, it didn't bother him too much. But it looks like there were consequences this time, because one van was already full. So he had to ride with the almighty elites...? Leonard didn't mind too terribly much, but he had a feeling that the other group was going to have a better time.

Peeking his head into the van, he smiled a bit as he recognized one familiar face. And then he took the seat behind Seth, as he wasn't as afraid of him as the other grunts were.

Hayes reached up and adjusted the rearview mirror, doing a quick head count and seeing who was there. He recognized most of them, including a shock of light blue hair diving into the trunk. "Hey Liam," the agent grinned, amused by the trainee's behavior, then focused on Nyx at the question.

"That's my immediate supervisor and that's.." Hayes' brows knitted together and he squinted at the indistinct image of the elites in the side mirror for a second. "I've got no idea who that is," he finished with a grin. "But she looks like another elite."

When a little paw pressed down on his right shoulder, Hayes and Switch both blinked - the human at the twinge in the muscle there, the Pokemon at Leo. The green-eyed Pikachu rose up on his haunches and braced both paws on Hayes' chest to get a better look at the new 'chu, mildly curious. "P'ka." He couldn't decide whether he was affronted by such a bold move on Leo's part, or whether he liked his style.

"Hey Zach." Hayes looked out the window and smiled mildly in greeting. "Yeah, we've got a lot. Still some room in the other van if you're in."

It was about time they got going. Hayes turned the key and the ignition roared to life; he waited for Zach to get clear before switching the vehicle into reverse. As the van backed out of the parking spot, Switch bounced off the blond's lap and scrambled over his backpack into the second row of seats to check the new guy out.



Nadja had arranged herself in the front passenger seat, legs crossed and hands folded calmly in her lap while the van loaded up. The woman glanced up at the rearview mirror, spotting a black grunt hat hunched in the very back seats.

Seth's Luxray garnered more interest. Nadja inclined her head toward the creature and ran a cool, analytical eye over it. "H'm." It was a neutral little noise, though the corner of her mouth twitched upwards.

Glancing over when another grunt joined in with them, lifting the corners of her mouth in a polite greeting. This wasn't someone she's met before.
leaning back against her side of the door, placing a hand under her chin as she watched outside the window quietly.

Sorano had curled himself up with his Flareon in the back of the agents' van, seeming to have stayed asleep no matter what luggage bumped him or potholes they fell into. The warmth of Never is the one that seemed to keep him from waking -- he was just too fluffy and warm!

When they finally reached the beach, it was Never who took note of the crashing sound of waves and the piercing heat from the sun. He tried to crawl to his feet but he discovered he was imprisoned by the grunt's lock-tight grip. As Never wiggled and wailed out, "Flare!" in disgust, Sorano hugged him tighter and squished his face into the Pokemon's fluff.

Never just made a face. Oh great, great, great.

Zach watched as Panther left the van. "That was odd, I wonder what his problem was." he said, not understanding what would cause Panther to say something like that.

Seth didn't even glance at Panther's waving. He just smirked a little as he drove onward to the beach.

"Good. This trip will be far less stupid."

When they finally arrived, Seth parked the van away from the sand. This wasn't a 4x4 all terrain vehicle after all. Then opened the back to let people unload, pulling out his own bag.

Refraining from Comment, or even looking over when Panther made the comment to Seth Faleen instead closed her eyes with a soft, exasperated breath. Shaking her head softly when Seth kicked him out, what did Panther expect? That man was honestly never going to learn.

once they started moving, Faleen opened her eyes, keeping them mostly closed once they got into the sun,
She reached down to slip a pair of sports sunglasses on.
Beaches were bright.

Upon arriving, Faleen unbuckled, opening the door and slipping out of her seat before stepping to the side to let Kofuku out
"I take it your not going to be doing much training"
Faleen commented, taking note of Kofuku's outfit, and the towel.
