Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aya pulled at her hair halfheartedly. "She won't bite and you probably can't disturb her anyway. She's happy just being high up. As you can tell I'm too short for her she'll just act like a furry collar. Which is funny. She generally hates people she must find you a kind person." She pulled out her Pokedex with a picture taped to the top. A dark skinned frowning man looked out from the image and she was balanced carefully on his lap a smile on her face. "This is him. We had a fight before I left. That's why I came to try and figure things out." She let out a sigh. "We moved to Motterossa together from Eucrteak after my father died. My parents were divorced and I was living in my mothers manor. That big house my mother and her husband lived in was just too much for the three of us all alone. I still own it... but..." She became quiet. "What about you?"

Very looked down off of Robins shoulder at her mistress watching for a moment before laying her head back down to cuddle.

"Thank you, Sunny's a nice name too. So bright and cheery," Arissa commented. "Traveling to learn about pokemon sounds fun. Are you a Watcher, then?" Arissa asked.

"And I'm a Coordinator. Ronan and Kishin, my Archeops, are both Show pokemon. We actually just got back from Ronen's first Contest," she said, gently rubbing her Togepi on his head. "He got third place, which is not bad considering his age. We'll do better nest time, won't we?" Ronen trilled and waved his arms in agreement. "Kishin's been in two Contests before. She took first place in her first Contest, and second place in her second," Arissa continued. "I'd like to be a pokemon Breeder as well, and Kishin would love more chicks to care for, but I haven't found a good mate for her yet,"

Cambria was just about to climb into the sleigh when she heard someone speaking. "Oh! Yes! I'm definitely going," she said and giggled a little. "It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, doesn't it? Oh, I'm Cambria, by the way! And this is Tesla." Always eager to make new friends, the blue haired trainer smiled happily at the other girl. Ooh, she wondered if Keria was coming on this trip, too! If not, she'd definitely have to tell her all about it when she got home.

Tesla sniffed at the new girl a little suspiciously, but stuck close to Cambria for warmth.

Alice grabbed Shimmer and placed her in her jacket to be warm as she hopped on the sleigh and placed the bag between her feet as she sat down.

The man yelled about seeing pokemon and to think of it as a safari zone.

Alice then lean forward to look out of the sleigh as it took off.

"New pokemon to see! New friends!" she thought excitedly and looked down.

"What do you think Shimmer, you think we'll see any new pokemon to add to our family?"

Except that Shimmer wasn't paying attention. As Alice was leaning on the edge she was also squishing Shimmer.

She wiggled in protest and then slipped into the bottom of her coat where it was nice an warm.

"Sorry girl."

And Alice looked out again and had a pokeball in her hands. Pink tickled her cheek in excitement.

Robin relaxed as Very made herself more comfortable. He was reassured by both Aya's words and the Vulpix's own body language. "I'm very glad she likes me. I hope she and Chopin might get along, as well." He gave the Meowth in his lap a glance, but she was dozing happily.

Looking thoughtfully at the photograph, the violinist wondered what Nigel could possibly be frowning at, in the company of such a cheerful fiancée. "If he's the right one for you, I'm certain everything will work out fine."

"I can't say my past is that interesting," Robin said quickly, when Aya seemed reluctant to dwell on her own. "I'm from Kalos, born in Aquacorde. I played in the Lumiose Philharmonic for a while, but that... ended, eventually. Then there was a string quartet, but it fell apart soon enough. And after that... I got a tip about a job in Katarina. But..."

The man shrugged -- gently, still mindful of Very. "I'm not sure the job ever even existed, let alone had an opening for me. So I do my best to make ends meet. We get on all right, Chopin and Mozart and I." He tapped the violin case with his fingers. "I have Elizabeth, and Chopin has her own ways, and Mozart -- she's a Crobat -- I'm not sure she's strictly helpful, but she seems pretty happy."

Robin smiled at Aya. "We don't seem to be having much trouble making friends, in any case."

Aya laughed and very gently reached out to pet Chopin. "Things happen. I've never really had a job so I couldn't Imagine what it was like to need one. I live off of my Inheritance. Nigel has one of course but it's because he can't stand being at home all the time. I paint so I'm more used to it."

Pursing her lips she Sighs softly before continuing "I'm sorry Is Kalos nice? I've never been I only ever traveled around Johto, Kanto and Hoenn. I never found the Need to go further I'm afraid"

She looks over the side of the sleigh watching the snow swirl around them. "I do love snow. One of my favorite things to do before we moved was to go Ice skating. I hope I get a chance to do that wherever were going. What are you looking forward to the most?"

"Ah I see." Xander nodded. Yeah, some of the supervisors would get annoyed if you didn't get out to get some experience. He smiled when he saw Viper briefly peek out. "I'm surprised you haven't tried to find a snake sweater for her." He was distracted for a moment when the Captain started speaking then got them moving forward but turned back to Jack once it was clear he was done. "You ready for this then?" Xander asked, pulling out a spare pokeball just in case.
