Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cody popped out of nowhere just in time to see all the action taking place. "I wanna battle, too!" he shouted, running up to an old lady and punching her square in the jaw. He looked around at all the disapproving looks he was getting from his teammates and others, and slunk off to find a trainer to battle. He noticed an old guy playing with his pokemon in the hot spring, and decided he was the perfect target.
"Let's go!"
The old man sent out a Numel, ready to take on this young whippersnapper of a challenger. Little did he know the match he was about to have. Cody pulled Celeste's ball from his belt and tossed it into the air, the Feebas coming out and flopping around on the ground, helplessly. The boy shook his head, not realizing how dumb of a move he might've just made.
The Numel was strong. It lowered its head and growled as it charged forward and delivered a strong Tackle attack.
Feebas took the brunt of the blow and flopped into the air, firing back a Water Pulse that seemed to confuse the already dumb Fire Type.
Numel reared back again for another attack, but went back too far, landing on its back and hitting its head in confusion.
Celeste flipped into the air once more to deliver the finishing blow, another strong Water Pulse that K.O.'d her opponent. Cody returned the fish pokemon, surprised at how not useless it really was and waited for his opponent.

The old man sent out a Slugma for his next pokemon. The fiery glob of magma slapped onto the ground as it was sent out and slowly started to form into a shape as Cody sent out his Poochyena. "Poochy, Bite!" the boy called to his pokemon, hoping to start the battle off right. Poochy lept into the air, bearing her teeth and came down on Slugma hard.
The fire type writhed in pain, but illuminated itself, letting out a strong Flame Burst, hitting for close-quarters Critical damage.
Poochy whimpered a little, but pulled herself together, and launched herself at her foe once more, hitting the Slugma hard with a Sucker Punch.
The fire type fell to the ground, collapsing upon itself, and the old man recalled it, looking to Cody in fear, and taking off.

"Get out of here old relic's... your gonna scare away all of the girls in bikini's!" Dimitri shouted, referring to the old people once he noticed the hot spring that Maddy had pointed out along with the old people heading towards it. Next, Dimitri ran towards the hot spring to battle an old person, accidentally bumping into an old man once he got there.

"You disrespectful brat... you should show your elders some respect!" The old man shouted angrily, stepping onto the land near the hot spring before he took out a pokeball and tossed it into the air, sending out a Magby. "I'd like to see you make me!" Dimitri replied in an arrogant tone, his poochyena stepping onto the battlefield to challenge the Magby. The old man did not even bother to dignify his challenge with a response and commanded his Magby to use ember against Poochyena. Following it's trainers command, Magby used ember to fire some small flames at Poochyena. "You sneaky old relic!" Dimitri said with a growl. "Go Shanks! Show him what your made of and retaliate with Counter!" Following his trainer's command, Poochyena shook away the pain from the ember attack's damage along with the pain from the damage induced from the burn that was suddenly inflicted upon him before he used counter to strike the Magby, dealing double the damage taken. The old man grunted in a frustrated way and commanded his Magby to use focus punch against Poochyena, seeming like he wanted to end the battle quickly. Following it's trainers command, Magby used focus punch, preparing for a devastating attack by focusing it's mind. "Go Shanks! Use Dig to evade what ever he is preparing for and strike his Magby where it hurts!" Following his trainers command, Poochyena let out a painful growl as the burn inflicted it's damage before he used dig to burrow underneath the ground. Following this, Magby used focus punch to launch a punch at Poochyena with a great amount of focus. Unfortunately for the old man's pokemon, the attack missed due to Dimitri's cautious evasive tactic. Shortly after, Poochyena let out a painful growl as the burn inflicted it's damage before he demonstrated the second part of the dig attack and dove out from underground, striking the magby from behind to deal a great amount of damage. The old man commanded his Magby to use sunny day to prepare for something as if he knew that his Magby was not gonna last for much longer. Following it's trainers command, Magby used sunny day to change the weather to sunny, giving all fire types an advantage. "Put him out of his misery! Finish that magby off with Crunch!" Following his trainers command, Poochyena used crunch to harshly bite the Magby with it's sharp fangs, dealing enough damage to finish it off with a K/O. Following this, the old man walked over and picked up his fallen magby before he tossed a pokeball into the air, sending out a to take the magby's place. "I think that you've had enough fun for one day... you deserve some rest." Dimitri said to his Poochyena in a comforting tone before he took out a pokeball and pointed it at his faithful companion, a red beam of light engulfed Poochyena to return him to his pokeball. Following this, Dimitri sent out his wailmer to take his faithful companions place on the battlefield. "Go Wailmer! Finish this quickly with a devastating splash and use water spout!" Following his trainers command, Wailmer happily hopped into the hot spring's water seconds after he was sent out and used water spout to spout water at the Numel, luckily dealing enough damage to result in a one hit K/O. At last, Dimitri hopped onto the Wailmer's back and flopped down to rest after the long battle that had just occured while the old man took out two pokeballs, pointing them at his fallen pokemon to make a red beam of light engulf them to return them to their respective pokeballs. Finally, the old man ran away from the hot springs, allowing Dimitri to have his time at the hot spring as a reward.

Reaper listened as Maddy told them all to get in the Hot Spring. He hid behind a rock and after a few seconds, was in his swim trunks and hopped into the spring and began to relax on the sides. "Ah... this feels great." He said as his Poochyena, and Corphish got in the water with Reaper and began floating around, relaxing as well.

Maddy splashed some water in Cody's face.
"Hey! Don't start that!"
She swam over to the edge of the spring and took Axew's ball from her knapsack. She released the little dragon and let it play around in the water.

Reaper continued to relax until he noticed Dimitri was checking out Maddy in her bikini. "Oh this guy is dead meat. I gotta see this." He thought and hid back farther in the hotspring to watch.

Thorn had joined Rosie and gave the okay to go in. Feeling excited, Rosie glanced at the large spring. This was the first time she'd gone while being free from her family. It was a moment to definitely remember! Feeling content, she then placed a foot into the water. For a second it was hot but then she relaxed. This was definitely going to be great. The girl released Vale and Kei out. The Poochyena looked at the water wondering whether he should get in or not. Lily the Emolga happily jumped into the water, swimming in it. She could feel the rest of the muck and mud from her battle fading away and felt super relaxed. Meanwhile Rosie got into the water and then sat down against a wall. Half closing her eyes as she relaxed, the girl let out a content sigh. This was turning out to a fun trip. The battle part of the trip was over and now they could simply have fun and relax. Lily was definitely having fun and Kei the Buizel was swimming around, content to be in water like his normal habitat.

Reaper watched as Dimitri was struck by a Draco Meteor from Maddy, causing Reaper to laugh hard until he fell back enough that he accidentally inhaled water, coughing him to start coughing hard. Poochyena smirked as Dimitri was hit while Corphish smirked as well.
