"DONE!"
Grinning slightly at her breakfast menu spread, Jen wiped away a bit of sweat lingering on her forhead before bouncing back towards her pokemon. Scratching Aman gently on the forehead and under his chin, she smiled as the simple joy overtook his normally distant expression.
"Yeah, you like that...don'tcha boy?" Giving his ears an affectionate tug, the trainer was about to head back to the cooking suppiles when an approaching newcomer caught her attention.
"OH! Heya! You in Wagon Two too?" Wiping away the berry juice still clinging with her headband, Jen held out a hand in greeting. She eyed the Pachirisu that followed the person around. "This yer pokemon? She's very cute!"

Lenne, seeing the sweaty girl was a little thrown off. Sweat wasn't something Lenne was fond of, but for this excursion she'd need to make acceptances and slowly reached for the girl's hand.
"Yes, I'm in wagon two. My name is Lenne, and this is my Pachirisu Piper. I have a cubone as well, but I figured she could use some rest."
Piper gave an approving nod when the girl before her said she was cute, then climbed up Lenne to sit on her shoulder.
Lenne, noticing the cooking, wondering what she would have to do. "Uhm... is there anything you want me to do?"

Liam scanned the list for a few more moments to see if he knew anyone else. He didn't, which didn't surprise him much. He didn't know many, at least not on this continent, having just moved here from Kanto. The healer, however, could not bring himself to be disappointed. Knowing Ridley was in his wagon was enough to make him feel a bit more cheerful, even with the early hour.
Speak of the devil, just as Liam had released the list, the paper floating back towards the black ninetails, he managed to catch sight of the object of his thoughts, and therefore his cheerful mood. Across the grass he could see Ridley waving to him in what (to Liam) was a fairly amusing fashion. The healer couldn't help but grin, returning the wave before glancing towards the tauros, nodding in understanding. Pushing his long, strawberry pink ponytail over his shoulder, Liam approached the bull pokemon also, making sure to move slowly and calmly.

Luna broke out in a giggle fit at Grinch's actions. The cubone was a GENIUS. The trainer giggled and patted Grinch on the head. "Thanks for the donation~" She joked.
"Well, want to help me load the food?" She asked Kayla, unlocking the fridge with the key tied around her neck so she could start to put in the new supplies.
ChuChu, on the other hand, was doing her best to cling to Albireo's wiggling ball in Luna's bag to prevent it from bursting open and eating all the food in sight. "Chuuuu..." ChuChu whinned as the ball wiggled wildly in her grasp.

‘Crechcrech…crech…crech’
Pebbles of the path below shifted under clumsy feet; a girl sauntering slowly as her attention was pulled toward her hair for the moment. It seemed as though pig-tail had come loose, because while one side of her head had a mess of curls held aloft. The other side showered over her shoulder. Scooping up her heavy hair in one hand she used the other to ring the rubber band around.
“There, so much better. Yep!” Almost tripping, it took Effie afew steps to regain her balance. “Gezz.” She sighed, she could already tell today was gonna be one of THOSE days.
It was another stretch of minuets before Effie was near enough to see the wagons at a distance. “Oh thank goodness.” She sighed in relief, slightly worried she’d gotten herself lost. Walking up to the ‘entrance’ of ‘camp’ a girl who seemed to have gotten there before her was reading threw a list that was held in mid-air, it was then that Effie’s eyes flicked towards the ninetales. ‘Cute’ She thought inwardly, as she took afew steps forward once the other girl dispersed. It wasn’t long that she found her team, her name was pretty high up in the list.
“One, eh? Cool.” In an absent shrug, the girl read on. “Then I suppose I’ll get right to work.” She said more to herself as she came across the list of ‘chores’. Bowing her head slightly once she was done, Effie took her leave of the creature, and set off in the direction she’d hoped was her wagon.

Jen gave Lenne an embarassed sort of smile when the handshake ended, she could kinda tell how the other reacted to her...em...current appearance.
"Ehehe...Sorry, I am a bit mucky right now. I've been on the agogo ever since I woke up this morning." She sighed and did a dramatic shake of her head. "Gotta love chores at six in the morning, eh?"
Aman stood and trotted over to where the two humans were standing; delicately laying his head on his humans' shoulder, the Stantler stared at Piper with amber eyes before snorting and turning his head away.
"This is Aman, by the way." A gentle tug on his ears earned a soft snort and a headtoss. "Work...um...Wanna help Aeon and Aman load up the rest of the food containers into the wagon? I can finish this up by myself." Jen pondered for a moment on what else was avalible. "Hm...there's also inventory that needs to be done before we head out. That's just double checking to make sure we have everything before we set out."

 Kayla was struck dumb at Grinch when he flashed out her credit card for a few moments while he danced happily but sense was coming to her and she was starting to fum with rage. Kayla tried to contain it but it was a lost cause.
"GRINCH!!!" Kayla roared.
Grinch suddenly stopped dancing and whiped his head around with wide eyes at Kayla only to be slammed by a large mallet that sent him flying out towards a soild wall of rocks and boulders.
In a dead faint as he slide down to the ground in a crumple heap. "Cuuuuu-bone."
Kayla was still panting in rage as she managed to catch the credit card when it left Grinch's paws. Adira smirked in amusement at Grinch's expense as she stocked more of the food and water into the fridge.
Kayla sent her glare towards Luna at the encouragement when she patted Grinch's head while he danced earlier. "Do NOT enourage the behavior. I will not be apologying to YOU if he steals your stuff."
Grinch was still out of it when Kayla looked back at him in narrowed eyes. "I'll deal with you later. Return!" With that, Grinch was swallowed back into his pokeball.
Kayla shook her head at Luna. "I'll start finding more food. I need to cool down." Then off she went off to find what was needed WITHOUT using anymore of her money if at all possible. "I'll be back to help, though." Kayla attempted to smile but he came out more of a grimance before she walked off.

"Ah, I see." Lenne was still a little groggy herself, so doing anything normal at any time earlier wouldn't have gone over well with her.
Piper eyed the stantler as he snorted at her, and became a little offended. She started to create slight sparks from her cheek-pads as an offense.
Lenne, not being one for lifting or anything of the sort, decided inventory might be something she could handle. "Erm, I guess I could do inventory... Clementine can help you with packing, she can lift stuff. Me and Piper can count. What exactly do I need to look for, is there a list...?"
As Lenne was talking she reached into her bag and brought out Clementine's pokeball, releasing her in front of herself. "Clemmy, go help that Stantler load food onto the wagon, alright?" Clementine nodded, a little disapprovingly, because she didn't want to be separated from her trainer, but decided it was best to do as she said.

Luna started laughing again at Kayla's interaction with her pokemon. "Okay okay!" The trainer put her hands infront of her in defense against Kayla, but a silly grin was still plastered on her face. That had cheered up her morning! As Kayla started to walk off
"Hey Lamen~" Luna said, shaking Lamen's head instead of Kayla since the trainer had just left to quell her anger. "I had to do community service to lead this expedition." She answered, giving a sheepish laugh. She had so much hours to make up from blowing up a stadium nearly every time she battled. It wasn't her fault that her pokemon were creative and liked to play rough!

"Crap...! I think we are late!" Meeka said as she began running. She has been anticipating this event for the longest...And yet she overslept...for the fourth time. Running towards the wagons, she hoped up on Ebba. "C'mon you stupid deer, hurry it up and let's get there!"
Ebba did as commanded and began running up. Thinking they were going to be late...well...It didn't seem like so. Trainers were obviously there loading the cargo up on the wagons. Ebba screeched to a halt when he reached the area, shaking himself from the weight of Meeka.
Meeka fell...again as she walked towards the cabin. Even in Zatao, she has never seen to much trainers, coordinators, watchers, etc. It was interesting to just know there was so much there. As the clumsy breeder began walking along watching the wagons, she wondered if she would see any familiar faces.

"Uh... huh." Lamen said, blinking at the community service thing and barely noticing the random handshake. Community service certainly didn't sound as normal as how Luna put it. What does she do with her spare time?
"Well, at least you could catch or train pokemon in the meanwhile... maybe even uncover some fossils. Looks like we're in different wagons, though... too bad." Now, to ask what she needed to know.
"Hey, would you happen to know where the organizers are? I'd like to say hello and ask them a couple of questions... guidelines and tips, stuff like that."

Before Kayla manage to get far, another trainer came by to say hello. She took a deep breath before putting on a weak smile. "Hey Lamen. Excuse me, if I sound snappish. One of my pokemon used my credit card to purchase more food without my knowledge."
Kayla was still bitter about that but of course, she cannot stay mad for long. She knew that Grinch had the right intention but went the wrong way about it.

((Just realized I totally worded my post wrong. YAY LACK OF SLEEP Luna has to lead the expedition along with Jen because she was one of the most able trainers in the city and she owed the pokemon committee community service for blowing up too many battle fields))
"Yeah, but I can't help it. The weird labcoat people made them." Luna said with a sigh, looking over at the steel trailer. The "DO NOT DISTURB" sign was still posted on its door.
"The organizers are over there..." Luna pointed to the trailer that the researchers were now sleeping in. "But they're asleep right now. I'm just helping with getting the trainers together and everyone safetly to the mine, but if you have any questions, you can ask me or Jen for now~?"

Meeka continued to walk around the wagons, clueless as to which one was hers. "Uh..." she asked her deer Pokemon trailing after her. "Do you know which one is ours Ebba?" she asked. Ebba perked his ears up. Maybe if he got it right...he would get Jam?!...Again. Sniffing inside a random wagon, he pointed his nose in. "This one?" she questioned as she looked around. She sighed before glaring at her Stantler. "This is Wagon Three you stupid deer..." she spoke to him.
Sighing once more, she called out amongst the group, "Hey, does anyone know where Wagon Six is?!" thought she was standing right next to it. Ebba just began digging in her messenger back, looking for the jam he wanted.

"Kayla, is it?" She asked, to make sure that she had heard the other trainer's name right. "That's pretty troublesome... but I wonder how the shop owner accepted a credit card payment from a pokemon. It's the first time I hear of it." She nearly chuckled, finding such a situation to be quite hilarious- the shop owner must have been happy to get such a huge purchase. Poor Kayla, though. Luckily, it seemed the other trainer was not into a life-threatening panic... her funds were probably not exhausted just yet.
"Oh, that's too bad." Lamen said. She had wanted to meet the team of scientists that would be coming... perhaps it could have reminded her of the northern lab she used to work at. "Thanks, though. So, are there any rules or guidelines to follow on this trip? Like... no sticking your head out the trailer, watch out for Zubat droppings?" She snickered... caves were sure to be filled with zubats, or so she thought.
