Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ngh..." Luna finds Nick staring blankly at her, "Nick, are... Are you alright?" Poliwag bounds over to Luna, he shoots a bit of water up into the air to land on Luna's arm. She whimpers but the cool water helps to calm the irritation. "Thank you Poliwag." She reaches down with her good arm to pet his head.

Shaydas looked up, catching Treecko's comment. "You missed one just a few minutes ago, buddy," he coughed, still trying to hold himself back from laughing hysterically.

"Yes, I heard you getting pwned in the colesseum." Treecko snickered.

She looks toward the Happiny, "I-I don't think that will be necessary..." She shied away from Nick, understanding that he was Sweety's territory. "I, uhm,... Th-Thank you for the offer though..." She gives one last look toward the Happiny, accidentally displaying disdain. She she stands up straight, "Return." She points Tauros' Pokeball at him. A red beam shoots from the sphere, causing the pokemon to return it its clutches. "Let's go outside guys." Without looking at the others she heads back outside via teleporter.

"Poliwag, Rain Dance please?" Luna asks to which Poliwag obeys and hops around for a moment. Rain clouds gather over head and it soon begins raining. Luna sighs and hides under a tree in the gloomy atmosphere. "You always spite me in such ways." She says, aiming her remark toward the sky through the clouds and through the vast amount of space and at the sun. "At least I can get away from you when I need to." She reaches out into the rain to rub Poliwag's head again before he and Budew run off to play. Zubat and Sableye stay with her.

"D'oh! How is it raining? It was clear just a second ago!" Tommy muttered as the downpour began. The fighter had been doing training, what with smashing boulders, focusing his energy into a single punch, and running circles around the beach. He was on the other side of the island from where Luna, Nick, and the teleporter resided, and had to duck for cover.

"Wait a second... I love the rain!" Tommy cheered for the downpour, both happy for relief from the sweltering heat of the sun and his own sweat-ridden body. Tommy pulled off his shirt, stuffed it in his bag (carried by a cackling Banette), and continued running through the rain on the beach.

Shaydas went outside and sensed Tommy's presence somewhere on the island. He took off like a shot in the direction he assumed the Aquan was in, following the beaches to avoid anything in the jungles. He caught up with Tommy and, noticing that he was training, asked, "Mind if I join you?"

Shaydas shrugged. "Guess you're busy," he sighed. He stepped up to a large rock on the beach and focused, gathering his energy. "Hya!" he yelled as his palm connected with the boulder, sending a shock wave into it. With a loud crunch, the rock cracked in half. He took a deep breath and examined his handiwork. "Looks like I'm getting stronger," he muttered to himself. "My Force Palm has more power than I remember. Good."

"... Popo, use Rain Dance..." Nick commanded, calling out his Castform. The Pokemon nodded and made the stream of rain continue. He approached her with resolve, wanting to speak to Luna seriously.
