Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hotspring? Ooh! That sounds kinky! I''m up for a vacation!" Dimitri replied with a perverted smirk as the thought of seeing many girls in bikini's crossed his mind, bits of drool slightly dripping from his mouth. Following this, His growlithe jumped onto the back of his Tropius and yawned before she immediately fell asleep, it was if Tropius's back was her new throne while his Poochyena began to run around hyper-actively.

"Awesome! Everyone get your swimming gear and let's get out of here!"
Maddy ran off to her room to grab a knapsack and fill it with her bikini and a towel and returned to the common room within minutes.
"Meet you guys outside when you're ready!"
She exited HQ and waited on the beach outside for everyone. The winter air was quite chilly. A nice dip in the hot springs would fix that for sure.

"He'll perv on all the women in their swimsuits obviously. Though I'll sure Maddy will destroy him if he looks at her like that." Reaper chuckled, letting his Poochyena out and following after Maddy with his bag of clothing, Poochyena running right beside him.

"Well my friends... I believe it's time for a well deserved vacation." Dimitri said to his pokemon in an anxious yet excited tone while he jumped to his feet. Next, Dimitri took out the three pokeballs that belonged to his released pokemon and pointed the pokeballs at them, a red beam of light engulfed them all to return all of them to their respective pokeballs.

Then, Dimitri immediately followed maddy's command and darted off to his room to gather some supplies for the vacation at the hotsprings, grabbing his beach towel, his trunks, and all of the items that he had to make the necessary precautions just in case the vacation turned into an adventure. He stuffed all of his supplies into his backpack and strapped the backpack to his back. Shortly after, Dimitri ran out from within his room to meet up with Maddie outside the hideout once his bag was stuffed with supplies, quickly making his way towards the hideout's exit. Eventually, Dimitri exited the hideout, arriving at the beach alongside Maddy. ""

Thorn sighed; Rosie was too naive for her own good sometimes. He'd be around to look out, and he doubted Maddy would let anything happen, but... he followed Rosie as she pulled him out of the room. He packed alongside her; he didn't have that much. Finally, he followed the rest of them as they made their way to the hot springs. The place was quiet, quieter than he was expecting. At least it was relaxing...

"Biggest one eh? Well, I'm prepared to battle for a hot spring if that's what it takes to occupy one." Dimitri replied in curious yet excited tone as he looked around at all of the nearby hot springs once he arrived at Lavaridge town alongside Maddie, scoping for any girls in bikini's. Shortly after, Dimitri took out one of his pokeballs and tossed it into the air, sending out his Poochyena before he began to search for the largest hot spring along with one with the most girls in bikini's, accompanying him was his faithful companion Poochyena.

Thorn couldn't help blinking in surprise at Maddy's orders. They were to beat up the geriatric? That sounded... odd. He shrugged, reaching up to scratch Song's ears. Orders were orders, regardless of how confusing they might sound to him. Besides, it was for the glory of Aqua... or the relaxation. They were the same thing, really. He took his place with the rest of the team, ready for an interesting battle.

A withered, hunched-over old lady waddled up to him, shaking her cane in his general direction. Clearly, their presence here was unappreciated... but at least she was fighting back. He would have felt a little guiltier attacking someone who wasn't even interested in a fight.

The woman sent out a Goldeen, which despite being out of the native element managed to look somewhat elegant. Thorn shrugged Song of his shoulder, and the Zubat dove right at pretty fish. He twirled out of the way of her Supersonic, avoiding the somewhat unreliable move with ease.

"Astonish!"

The ghost-type move made the Goldeen cringe, but not flinch. Irate, she flopped right into the air, catching Song with her Horn Attack. It hurt, but not enough to make the Zubat stop, and he responded with Thorn's order to Bite. The strong hit knocked out the last bit of the Goldeen's health, and she lay in the dirt, unmoving.

"You violent young whippersnapper..." grumbled the old woman as she fumbled for another Pokeball.

Thorn was still confused by the actual use of the term whippersnapper before noticing his new opponent; a Magikarp. This one flopped in the dirt as well, much less elegantly than her teammate. Sighing, Thorn realized this might be a sign to rotate his Pokemon, and switched the Zubat for his Feebas.

Selkie flopped next to the Magikarp, meeting the other beached fish's eyes with great pity and understanding. Oh, cruel, cold, dirty world! To be stranded, sunk, with no stream to--!

"Selkie, please Tackle."

Well, that was that, then. The two fish Pokemon crashed and bounced into each other, responding to a tackle with a tackle. They rolled around, striking and striking, but it seemed Selkie would come out on top, if only because she happened to be a bit more stubborn... and a critical Tackle didn't hurt.

That had been a strange battle, but at least it was over... and hopefully, they could more onto the hot springs.

(sorry, that took longer than expected!)
