Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arwen nodded at Koorie, then looked back to Lexis, perplexed. If their entire traveling group had been unable to find any signs of the Pokémon, he doubted just the two of them would be able to, and was leaning towards helping the kid. Still, Lexis looked upset, and he knew he would be, too, if Parth had been taken, and was unsure what to do.

"I'm fine, gramps..." he said distractedly.

It would be natural for wild Cubones to have piles of bones but the image still sent a shiver up Lizzie's spine. Thank goodness the missing Pokemon weren't there indeed.

She glanced over at Fifi as she shouted about firewood and hot soup. She still didn't trust that girl, no matter the evidence she provided, and she wasn't going to help collect firewood alone with her. Luckily she decided to go get firewood herself, though someone had to tend to the soup. Seeing the blonde girl drink her own concoction made Lizzie feel more willing to try some of that herself, since she hadn't had a good meal since the journey started. Before she could walk over to the fire though, Psywater's head perked up and he started staring in a random direction.

"... I think he has a better clue of where the missing Pokemon might be." She said to Xander. "I'm going to check it out, but if you and your friend want to come with me then the more the merrier."

((I'm going to try helping the trapped people in the crevice. So if you decided to join Lizzie then you can post in that thread with me. Otherwise I'll assume that they didn't come along. XD))

"Of course I did," Rory responded between bites of his snack, "when you've been out here as long as I have some times, you learn to sleep when you can. Better to be well rested after all," he stated and tossed the rest of the protein bar in his mouth.

Rinzler got closer and sniffed at Xander and Kotesu, giving the pokemon a small "rua", before going over to sniff quickly at the girl beside him. Once he was done inspecting the pair, he made his way back to his trainer and curled up on the man's lap.

"Looks like I'm not going anywhere soon," Rory commented as he ran his hand through his pokemon's fur. "Good luck though."

@Anyone at the campsite:

((There is still hot food just sitting there! Shadi is sitting there eating it, and Fifi isn't there, but already had some before going off to get firewood herself, since no one wanted to go off alone with her into the forest. Gee, you would think you could all see her status as a Rocket on the front page...oh, wait. XD

Edit: Whoops, suppose everyone will be running off now.))

Xander watched the pokemon move away before looking at Lizzie and shrugged. "Now that my brother is awake I need to talk to him real quick, we'll catch up later if you find anything." He said then turned to Rory after she left. "Only you can manage to sleep like the dead through the yelling." The blond said and chuckled.

Kotetsu tilted his head at Rinzler and waved his tail. "Vee eve." How did the other pokemon manage to sleep like his trainer did? The yells had been loud.

Xander's attention got caught by Cara when she came running into the camp area yelling. "Are you alright? What's wrong?" Was there another pokemon attack? Or was it something he should avoid like one of his team mates traps?
Edit: Though the young woman then ran off before she apparently heard him so he shot Rory a look and a shrug.

Keria blinked looking around confusion evident in her face, what was going on? one moment there where a ton of people walking around and now there was no one. She put her bowl of food down so she could cradle her head for a moment. It hurt like hell from the cubones attack. Looking around she winced at the fire, was it always so painfully bright? The gym assistant sighed it seemed the cubone's attack had hit harder than she wished and she probably had a concussion which meant it was probably a good idea to find a healer, a doctor would be better but she didn't think there where any around. Keria started to feel dizzy as she tried to get up and manged to stumble away form the fire. This was a valuable lesson though never take on a cubone without a pokemon, or at least do a good job of dogging any swings to your head

HA! YOU'RE TRAPPED!
((Your trap CANNOT trap others with you.
You are not allowed to rejoin the main ORP until you are rescued.
See instructions here on how to get rescued. ))

The soup was laced with a sedative! You collapse, and won't wake until either Panda says so, or someone rolls a successful save!

In full mission gear, Walpurgis milled about, looking for some of the trainers. His mask hid any semblance of emotion his face might have betrayed, and given his silent advance, he seemed quite like a ghost haunting the mountain.
