Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Side Area A - Beach]

For some reason, Amaranth would see the same Krabby scuttling along. She still decided to leave it be, hoping that it wasn't about to become hostile as she quickened her pace along the beach.

I continued to examine the newer dex entries in the SNAG, and apparently there wasn't as many as I was hoping. Though that said, that probably was me being greedy a little. There were still quite an assortment of creatures that were added that I wouldn't mind meeting one of these days...though if I wanted to better my odds at that one...I would have to go to the one place I probably don't want to go to, second only to my 'joy' that I have in going to Orre.

A buzzing sound was heard close by, I looked up in the tree above me and saw, what initially seemed to be a yellow speck, but closer look showed different. "I just saw that thing a minute ago..." I said, looking back down. "Cutiefly...huh...Telia would be all over that. Probably Cera as well...eh...then again, Cera thought a Tyrannitar was cute, so maybe I should count that." I said, continuing on with my search through the SNAG.

After enough of a break, I stood back up and dusted myself off. I couldn't just sit there and wait for the Pokemon to come to me. Well...technically I could, but I doubted that there would be anything that I'd go for here. I already saw Yungoos and a Cutiefly here, and I had my doubts that there was much else in that spot. I'd have to try another part of the forest.

After getting up, I waded through some bushes and made my way off into another part of the woods, taking note to an Exeggcute close by. "This place seems to run between new and familiar...its like I stepped into the Kanto Safari Zone then stepped into the twilight zone and back again." I said, continuing onward and leaving the eggs be.

I checked my watch, realizing a good bit of time went by since I touched down on this island and while I did find some newer faces about, they weren't something that I was going to go out of the way for. For that matter, I was burning daylight and I still had every intention on getting my Pokemon some training. Perhaps I should have picked a fight with those Yungoos and Cutiefly earlier. At the very least, the Exeggcute. Hmm...

My instincts tripped and something was making a beeline right for me. "The hell?" A loud call, a Spearow was making an approach. "Geez, you're in idiot!" I said, stepping off to the side, taking out a Pokeball. Well, I guess I'll get some of that training after all. "Go! Cubchoo!" I called out. I tossed out the Pokeball and in a flash, out came the snow white bear out for battle.

"Cub--*achoo*---chaaa..." The bear spoke up, its long snot making its way out practically immediately.

"Ugh, I can never get over that. Cubchoo! That thing, the spearow! Here it comes!" The Spearow was making another pass, rushing down at the bear. "Cubchoo! Use Icy Wind!" I called out.

"CHAAA!" The bear roared out, its roar more like a high drawn out squeal, unleashing a biting wind upon the bird, deterring the Spearow quite a bit, but then continued on its assault. The bird then flew above the bear, clawing away with its talons, then started pecking away with its Fury attack. "CUBCHAAA!" The bear squealed out in panic, not wanting to battle anymore.

"Cubchoo! No, you need to stand your ground! This isn't going to get any better unless you stand up and have at it! You don't need to be pushed around like that! Now! Fight back! Headbutt!" I called out. The Cubchoo was hunched over, trying to cover its head from the relentless bird's assault, then Cubchoo in a blind rush, jumped up and smacked the bird head on, driving the bird back some. The Spearow ended up having to land, shaking its head a bit. Apparently that headbutt made it stagger quite a bit, witnessed by its flinching.

"Cubchoo! Another Icy Wind!"

"CHAA!" The bear howled out again, unleashing another gale towards the Spearow.

The spearow took more of the stinging ice that started to bite away through its feathery down then decided to turn around and run for it. "Not too tough now was it?" I said. "See Cubchoo, how hard was that?"

"Chaaa...?"

[Side Area A - Beach]

The Magikarp toss from earlier would get the Goldeen's attention, splashing back out of the water momentarily. Nothing else would happen, thankfully, allowing Amaranth to just keep to what she was doing.

The chase would continue on, despite a Goldeen popping it's head out and squirting some water at Eisley, annoyed at the excited Excadrill.

Aile would stop for a moment in her chase, having gotten a bit closer to her Excadrill with his waddling, and noticed the Wishiwashi jumping out of the water. "What on earth is that?..."

"Exca!!!!!"

"Oh, bother, can't focus on that now." The woman would press the hat down on her head as she continued on after Eisley

"Eisley! Get back here!" Aile would once again begin to catch up to the Excadrill, who was now panting heavily and resting before taking off again, completely ignoring the Staryu that washed up on shore.
