Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ace thought about Cody's offer as well as Allen's intentions. The first was Cody's offer. If anything, she would assumed that he either was trying to flirt with her or he was either being genuine about it. It was strange to dislike them for no apparent reason. But even so, she could not trust them yet. As far as she know, Team Aqua is not one of those friendly teamwork kind of groups; just a bunch of thugs wrecking some havoc because of their "justice". And the people who join the group are also the same. At least, that's what she believes.

As for Allen's intentions, the thought of gaining another water pokemon was understandable. She did trust her pokemon, but there could be times when they are not available when she needs them. And it wasn't a bad idea to get a back-up.

Still, it would not be polite to just suddenly turn it down. Her parents drilled that into her mind. "I accept the offer... Cody" She responded while adding the man's name to create a familiarity. The smirk only grew wider. "Are you perhaps, one of the tour-guides?" She said jokingly.

And her eyes gaze over to Allen. "As for ride-able water pokemon...if I had the patience, I would wait for... " Her eyes then narrowed to her squirtle who was making a childish fort out of the chess pieces. She snorted his antics before pointing at the pokemon. "...this to evolve." Her expression then relaxed a bit. "I'm not fully knowledgeable of Route 130, but I'm sure there could be another way of finding water pokemon."

"Luckily enough, there's a sea right outside the base that we can fish in. Or we could go over to that huge lake around... What was that place called? Mount Pyre?" He looked up, a finger curled over his chin. "It guess it really all depends on where everyone wants to go. I know I can go too either." If he did catch a Surfing Pokemon it would probably just stay in his PC, he shrugged about it internally.

"You're on!" He laughed, heading out onto the sandy beach. "I hope there are things other than Ghost types. Shuppet is the only ghostie I need with me." He grinned.

Cody raced after Allen, Axew in tow, taking leaping strides to keep up. "Wait up, dude! Not fair! You got a head start," he laughed, chasing the boy out to the beach. "I really need a Water-Type, not a Ghost-Type anyway." He laughed as he caught up to the boy, matching him stride for stride down the beach.

Cody climbed up after Allen, realizing his mistake. "Duh," he said to himself, thinking about what Water-Type he would like. Honestly, he'd be willing to go all the way back to Fortree to get a Feebas. Milotic was his dream pokemon, due to its near-impossibility to achieve. He was always up for a challenge. He decided to give it a try. "What if we went up past Fortree? I really want a Feebas," he mentioned, testing the waters.

Allen thought for a moment, "I don't see why not! As a matter of fact I can think of a Pokemon in that are that would really benefit me." If he could find one. From his understanding Tropius were pretty rare to find. They didn't surf but they could fly, and flying seemed to be much more efficient than surfing anyway. He grinned, thinking how awesome it'd be. With his luck though? He'd end up with a Magikarp or something ridiculous.

Allen stopped mid step, his face practically displaying a 'loading' icon. "Didn't think about that one..." Normally, that would have crossed his mind, "Well then... Do you think we should just go to the lake around Mt. Pyre then? Perhaps we could use the new catches to get there and explore a while." He grinned. Maybe he could use the chance to train up his Pokemon a little while they were out. It wouldn't be a bad thing, the quicker he could eolve his Pokemon the better off he'd be on missions, which he supposed would be best for getting on Archie's good side.

After a moment he realized his TADS was beeping, he checked it, finding the message Dimitri left. "Hold up, man. Someone's gonna join up with us."

Eventually, Dimitri left the base and began to make his way through the shore of a beach. Next, he stopped in the middle of the beaches shore to catch his breath while he stared blankly at the watery part of the beach before he realized that he had no idea where this place was or how he should begin to search for it. Then, an idea suddenly crossed his mind once shanks ran up to him and tackled his leg playfully. "We don't have to look for the place in general... we can just follow everyone else's lead if you track there scent's, but first let's see let's go surfing! Go Wailmer!" Dimitri said in an excited tone as he grabbed a pokeball from one of the holster's on his belt to send out his Wailmer. All of a sudden,a ball whale like pokemon appeared in the watery part of the beach. Afterward, Dimitri jumped onto the ball whale pokemons back. Shanks quickly jumped onto the ball whale pokemon's back as well to follow his trainer's lead. At last, Wailmer began to surf across the watery part of the beach, carrying his trainer along with shank's.
