✦ ✦Aiden took a deep breath as he recovered from hitting that brief adrenaline high from that sudden encounter with Mogwai, thank Arceus that Dag had reacted quick enough to break that device and end the Bewear’s rampage prematurely. Otherwise, that could have gone a lot more badly than it had. Focusing on ahead, Aiden and his team made their way around Ilex Forest in search of wild Pokemon to train against. All the while, they steadily pushed their way bit by bit towards the western area of the forest, roughly the same direction the Bewear had come from. The Void base was probably somewhere within that general area, then again that was just based on a rough guesstimate. Even if they had long since gone, because it’s been Arceus knows how many years since he and Natalia had last come through here, they had undoubtedly left some Pokemon behind to guard whatever remained of that lab, likely along with whatever they probably couldn’t afford to take along with them if they had particularly left in a hurry. Hopefully he would still have a chance to be able to rescue any other Pokemon that had been victims of Void’s experiments like he had with Mogwai, still… it probably couldn’t be helped much if they were too far gone to even be saved anymore…
Samoa led the pack a couple feet ahead, Daguerro trailing just a little ways behind him as the Jolteon kept his eyes and ears out for anything that could prove to be an immediate danger to them. Just as the Croconaw was starting to wonder if Mogwai’s earlier rampage had completely flushed the area of Pokemon, he heard the telltale shriek from the canopy just above them. He looked up just in time to see a Zubat fling itself down towards them from above, and immediately cocked back his fist, a thin veil of ice starting to form on it as he concentrated the power into it. As soon as it got close enough, the Croconaw landed a solid Ice Punch right between its eyes. With a sharp cry, the Zubat was flung back into the trees covered in frost, the sheer power having knocked it straight out of the park in one fell swoop.”Daaaamn, son,”whistled Dag from behind him, the Jolteon cracking a wide grin as he nodded at him,”You’re really beefing up, aren’t ya, Sammy? They can hardly even lay a hand on ya! Bet you’ll be able to outmatch even Kaizer soon enough~”Samoa huffed and rolled his eyes, folding his arms in his classic ‘I could give far less of a damn’ fashion.”Tch, these foes are far too weak, I’d hardly have to even tap them and they’d keel right over,”he remarked dismissively, though he couldn’t help but crack the tiniest hint of a smile at his Jolteon companion’s enthusiasm,”Still, I suppose it’s better than nothing at this point. As long as I’ll be able to stand a chance against Whitney after all is said and done, we probably won’t even need to count on Kaizer to come in and save the day like the glory hog he is.”Perhaps he would be able to reach his final evolution by the time they were through here, and then he could show that damn dragon who really was the weakest between the two of them. ”Very nice job, Samoa~” Aiden spoke with a smile, certainly glad to see that his Croconaw was really starting to show signs of getting stronger. He was hoping to have a much more balanced team before taking on Whitney, strength-wise, so that he didn’t have to constantly rely on only his strongest to be able to carry them through the battle. While it could be a viable strategy, it certainly wasn’t a wise one, especially if your strongest Pokemon was past the point where it wouldn’t obey you without the badge you needed. And considering Whitney had a bit more considerable arsenal of Pokemon with her, unlike Bugsy and Falkner, being able to have more than a couple Pokemon who would be able to stand a chance against her was certainly for the better.
The blonde-haired boy chuckled softly as Samoa seemed to swell a little at the praise, even though he was clearly trying to play it off that he didn’t really care all that much. That was so much like Rocket too, how the Typhlosion would pretend to not like or accept compliments and praise even though in his heart of hearts he truly appreciated it. His time spent with Team Rocket as a Cyndaquil had really messed him up, it had taken a good long while for Rocket to feel comfortable even when placed in a safer environment. He hardly even ate for the first week and a half when Aiden had brought him home after digging him out from the empty shell that used to be the Rocket Warehouse. Still, the young boy persisted in helping the hurt Cyndaquil, staying within close proximity without directly invading his personal space, talking to him about his family, his life, and everything he could think of, occasionally offering a small treat or a handful of food, and speaking his name repeatedly. All that time, patience, and gentle nurturing paid off in that one magical moment when the Cyndaquil had finally approached him hesitantly of his own volition, and then curled up comfortably in the boy’s lap as he ate berries out of his hand. Aiden remembered being so worried that by the time he had found him back then, it had already been too late to save little Rocket from dying. But once he finally managed to break through and gotten the Cyndaquil comfortable enough to willingly let the boy touch him and even eat out of his hand, he knew that Rocket would be just fine from there on out. Aiden hadn’t realized he had been tearing up as those precious memories flooded over him until he felt a single drop slide down his cheek. Immediately, a gentle touch alighted on his left shoulder, and he glanced over to see Aria looking at him with a soft, reassuring smile on her face. A light tug on his right hand brought his attention to Thalia, who looked up at him with a hint of concern, but determination burned brightly in her pale blue eyes as she nodded to him. A soft lick on his cheek drew his gaze to Seras, the Mareve warbling sweetly as she carefully wiped the stray tear away with a white wing and nuzzled him encouragingly. He smiled at them, his lips moving as he mouthed a quiet ‘Thank you’ to them as they continued to proceed.
Still, he couldn’t shake that feeling of unease he had been suppressing, he could still feel that pervasive, steely, intent gaze practically drilling a hole in his back. His eyes kept darting to and fro around him, searching for any visible signs of danger, sudden movement in the surrounding thickets, a figure wreathed in shadow stalking some distance behind him, or, by some chance, any signs of Natalia possibly wandering around nearby. Hopefully she was doing well and was quickly catching back up on those badges to replace the ones she had lost.✦ ✦

✦ ✦Continuing to carve a path around the western area of Ilex, Aiden kept an eye out for the possible source of that ‘being watched’ feeling that was more or less constantly on him now. Arceus, he really hoped he wasn’t in any kind of imminent danger, surely if Void had long since vacated this place then none of their grunts had any reason to hang around here. Well, he certainly hoped that was the case, at least… However, what he did find was something glinting close by, caught within the fork of a thin, low-hanging branch. Upon picking it up, he found it to be another Heart Scale, which would certainly come in handy for further preparations to battle Whitney. ”Here, Annabelle,” he called up to her, holding the newly acquired Heart Scale out in offering, ”You can have this one~” The Gengar had been busying herself with floating above them, poking curiously around in the canopy and exploring every inch in hopes of finding something potentially interesting. The moment he called her name, she reappeared instantly in front of him with a huge grin on her face, giggling excitedly as she took the Heart Scale from him.”Oooo~ Another present? For me? You’re too kind, Aiden~”she chirped happily, holding the scale high above her head as a lightbulb went off in her mind, another move she reckoned could come in handy for their future battles to come. Holding a hand up in front of her, she concentrated the new energy into it until it glowed with an odd orange color. Humming thoughtfully, she took a couple practice swings, testing out this new sensation before grinning and nodding in approval. Yes, this would come quite in handy, she felt.
Deciding to take a quick stop to make a few more preparations, Aiden reached into his bag and pulled out the strange looking mushroom he had gotten from that burlap sack earlier. After a moment of deliberation, he pulled out one of the two Heart Scales he had put in reserve along with Kaizer’s Pokeball. Clicking the button, he let the Mega Salamence out of his ball, the dragon Pokemon seemingly more than happy to get some fresh air even though he wouldn’t be doing any training. ”Here, Kaizer, you can have this one,” Aiden spoke with a smile, offering the other Heart Scale to the Salamence. Though he doubted he’d be using Kaizer for much against Whitney, there was nothing wrong with giving him a new move to work with. The Salamence gazed contemplatively at the scale in Aiden’s hand, before huffing in approval and touching his nose to it. Closing his eyes, Kaizer felt new knowledge surfacing to the forefront of his mind, replacing that of the old and not really needed. The used scale crumbled away into dust in the young man’s hand, and was swiftly carried away by the breeze. Aiden couldn’t help but notice that something seemed different about Kaizer, he didn’t seem quite as talkative as he sometimes could be, and there seemed to be this look of what could possibly be sad longing in his eyes whenever he looked out at the scenery. He probably really missed Calliope… that was the only thing Aiden could really think of off the top of his head. Though they didn’t exactly have the best start to their friendship, he could tell that Kaizer had grown quite fond of the Altaria after they made up and really started getting to know each other. ”Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll see her again soon,” he reassured gently, patting the Salamence’s neck, ”Wherever she might be, I’m sure she misses you too.” The dragon hummed quietly, leveling his golden gaze towards his trainer as he stared at the blonde-haired boy thoughtfully. Finally, he gave a nod of understanding, though the look in his eyes said something more along the lines of ‘I sure as hell hope you’re right’. Still, it seemed Kaizer took Aiden’s reassurance to heart, more or less, as he stood a bit straighter and held his head a little higher, gaining a bit of his old, familiar confidence back.
Aiden examined the odd mushroom in his hand, pondering on what exactly to do with it. He remembered his mom had told him about something like this before… odd mushrooms that, when fed to Pokemon, allowed them to learn moves that they couldn’t typically learn under normal circumstances. It could be a bit of a risk, but at the same time it could be a great reward… Still, he supposed it was a risk worth taking. ”Here, Dag,” he called out, chuckling a bit as the Jolteon immediately came bouncing over without even an ounce of hesitation, wiggling his body excitedly as loose sparks jumped out occasionally from his fur. ”Try this out, bud, it could help,” Aiden spoke, bending down slightly and holding out the mushroom in offering. Daguerro curiously eyed the mushroom in his trainer’s palm, stepping forward and sniffing at it to check for any signs of poison. Sensing nothing particularly off-putting, he chomped down on the mushroom, being gentle enough to avoid accidentally biting Aiden’s hand. Gnashing it between his teeth, he had to admit that it certainly didn’t taste too bad either… Upon swallowing it, however, the Jolteon felt an odd new sensation wash over him, a sudden burning, seething anger that thrashed and writhed within the depths of his subconscious, aching to just be unleashed. A shiver ran up his spine, vision clouding over until he could see very little other than RED… deep, dark, oozing, heavy, bloody red that left a sour, metallic tang in his mouth as any other thoughts just fled from his head, replaced with a desire to break, destroy, ruin everything around him until not even atoms were left... The sensation lasted all of about a few seconds, before Daguerro felt that searing anger slowly ebb away and the red in his vision slowly clear, though he could still vaguely taste the copper on the back of his tongue. ”You alright there, bud?” Aiden’s concerned voice was the first thing he heard once his mental faculties came back to him, the Jolteon seeming a bit dazed as he looked up towards his trainer, ”D-Did it work…?”
”I… think so…? Damn, that just felt super weird for a minute there…”Daguerro murmured, taking a deep breath and shaking himself off before yipping up at Aiden and happily nodding,”I’m still feeling fine, though! I didn’t get sick or anything, so that’s a definite plus for me!”Aiden laughed a bit at Daguerro’s quick recovery back to his perky self, gently stroking the Jolteon’s fur and feeling his fingers tingle a little from the small sparks emanating off of the Electric-type. Well, it certainly seemed that the mushroom worked, though its effects weren’t as apparent as he’d initially thought they’d be… Suppose the only way to really figure out what new move Dag had just learned was to try it out in battle.✦ ✦

Helmy-chan was confused as to Lucille's sudden want to leave not only the park in Azalea town, and then the town altogether. Lucille wouldn't give an answer as she stormed away, until she finally slumped down at the entrance to Ilex Forest. Madame, please, would you explain these strange actions of yours? Lucille looked over at the helmet before pouting. Did you hear what that guy said back there? 'Give her more money since she's a handicapped moron!' The haunted helmet would've corrected her ward, but when the mute pulled her beanie over her face, it was clear that she should be delicate with the matter. I understand, madame, but running away from a challenge or a fool is foolish in its own right. If I had a body, I'd have put that man under the heel of my boot! And I would say, Commencez votre plaidoirie, ou je vais vous déchirer! And if he did not beg, I'd slay him! His blood for my honor, indeed! The teen pulled her beanie even further over her head at the thought of such violence, and shivered. I can't fight anybody! I don't even know how! Helmy-chan tutted. Alas, I would teach you, if I had the body to do so. But for now, I'll have to fight your battles in your stead.
And as if on cue, a Purloin emerged from the brush, hissing violently. Parle du diable...shall we? Lucille peaked up from her beanie, and after thinking it over for a moment, she nodded. Lemme get my camera first!

After the battle concluded, Lucille watched the footage on her camcorder, eagerly watching as Helmy-chan fought off the Purloin with ease. She was eager to go ahead and get it uploaded to her laptop, so once they found a safer place to rest (in this case, near the bank of a steady stream), she pulled out her computer, and...it was off. And, it wouldn't turn back on. Huh? While Lil Gena went to swim in the stream and Samson went to get a drink from it, Helmy-chan watched as their mute trainer continued to try to turn on her laptop. It doesn't make any sense! It had plenty of battery life...I'll just use my battery charger, I guess. She rummaged further into her backpack, and found the battery charger, but it also seemed to read as dead. Lucille puffed out her cheeks in frustration, and noticing a trend, started to check all of her electronics in the backpack. Battery-powered metronome: dead; Cell phone: dead; electrolarynx: dead. What's the deal?! This is starting to get me really miffed! She rummaged further and found something she had forgotten all about: an old keychain virtual pet she used to take care of. Oh! It's still on! And Smelly Face is still alive! She looked at the nostalgic trinket eagerly, but noticed the battery slowly, slowly drain into nothing, and watching the virtual pet glitch and die in from of her very eyes. No! SMELLY FACE! She turned the virtual pet around...
...and spotted a tiny little insect, laying on top of it and sucking the power from the battery hatch. It make a happy little chirping noise until it looked up at the human. It chirped questioningly, and hopped off of her dead pet to scurry away. Oh no you don't! C'mon, Helmy-chan, let's get 'em! As the little pokemon hopped away, Lucille and Helmy-chan made chase.
Meanwhile, Lil Gena found herself fighting off another Sandile that came up to the riverbed to start another fight. Samson kept vigil, prepared to step in if he had to, but it looked like the scrappy little gator was still up to the challenge.
Where am I? Ilex Forest Who am I with? My Pokemon How am I feeling? Confident, but a bit nervous… What am I thinking?’Suppose I could come back here later, then… Let’s go find Natalia’ Team Out of Ball: Counters: Movement: 3/3 Wild Pokemon: 176/5 NPC Battle: 217/15 Item Quest: Heart Scale: 2/10 Big Mushroom: 27/30 Jaboca Berries x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) TM 02 Dragon Claw (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Leftovers (Pirate Day ; Unclaimed) Nevermeltice x1 (Christmas Giveaway ; Unclaimed) Wacan Berries x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Enigma Berries x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Fast Balls x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Blue Apricorn (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Blue Flute (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Blue Shard (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) TM Scald (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Roman Candle x1 Liechi Berries x5 Level 10 Mienshao, Level 11 Charizard, Level 5 Smeargle, Level 10 Trainer Red Lapras, Level 10 Alolan Vulpix, Level 10 Cobalion (Unclaimed)
✦ ✦As they continued along their path in the western part of the forest, Aiden tried not to focus too much on that nagging feeling of being watched that still hadn’t left him alone. Whoever or whatever it was is clearing watching him intently… and was probably following after them, likely in the shadows at a distance just beyond where he could see. He could swear that he could hear small disturbances all around, the occasional soft crunching of a loose twig or dried leaves on the ground, the sudden movement of brush or branches that most certainly hadn’t been moving before… He was clearly being stalked, and that instantly put him on high alert as he cast a quick glance all around them. His Pokemon, sensing their trainer’s unease, were also keeping their eyes and ears peeled for anything that could be a potential danger to them.
Samoa heard a rustling in the canopy above, and glanced up just in time as a Weedle dropped down towards them, brandishing its sharp, venomous horn at them and chittering in irritation. It only took a rapid Hydro Pump blast to knock the obnoxious insect out and send it flying back into the trees where it came from.”Hmph, again, too easy,”the Croconaw huffed, twisting his neck this way and that to crack it and relieve some built up pressure. He wished the wild Pokemon out here were more challenging, then again, he was likely far too strong compared to most of what was available to fight here in Ilex Forest. Daguerro, on the other hand, was on high alert as he took on his telltale stance, the light breeze blowing towards them bringing with it a hint of an odd yet somewhat familiar scent that he remembered from somewhere before… Out of the corner of his eye, the Jolteon caught a slight hint of movement, a subtle flash of black that he just barely missed. With blinding speed, a dark shape suddenly leapt out from the nearby brush, moving so quickly that all anyone could see was a shadowy blur. Aiden and his Pokemon, caught off guard, barely had time to react, though Daguerro was able to react a bit faster as he used Quick Attack to immediately leap out of the way just as the assailant came thundering down, seeming to single him out among the rest. Skidding back a couple feet, the Jolteon growled warningly, ears back and fur crackling with electric energy as he eyed the dark colored shape that now stood where he had been only second ago. He knew it… He thought he had smelled Absol, and sure enough, there he stood, looking radically different from the last time he remembered seeing the beast.”Heh, well then… I had a feeling we’d be seeing each other again, I just didn’t think it’d be this soon!”Daguerro commented, flashing a wide, daring grin towards the Absol. The Jolteon cast a quick glance around, immediately noting that Ezio appeared to have come alone judging by the lack of Natalia’s presence, before locking his gaze back on the Dark-type in anticipation of a fight.
Aiden froze at the sight of the Absol, though it appeared to be far different than he remembered he could recognize that look in its eye anywhere, not to mention it had targeted Daguerro specifically when it had ambushed them. Ezio’s fur had turned from bright white to ebony black, adorned with additional horns and feathery additions that looked like wings, though they didn’t appear to really function like real wings did, and a long, whipping tail with a spade-like tip that was very reminiscent of a Houndoom. ”You again…” he spoke softly, taking a deep breath to try to remain as calm as possible as he leveled his gaze at the Dark-type, nerves eating away at his stomach at the realization that Ezio was alone. Natalia had been able to handle the Absol when he and Dag started fighting back in the Azalea Pokecenter and keep him under control, at least so he didn’t lash out at them… but without her here, now there was very little stopping Ezio from potentially ravaging both Aiden and his team like he had back then... The blonde-haired boy kept at a distance from the Absol, keeping a wary gaze on the Dark-type as he awaited for… whatever was going to happen. ”What do you want?” he inquired in a low voice, not once taking his eyes off of Ezio knowing that looking away for even a second could mean death. The Absol had clearly sought him out for a reason… Ezio smirked, his devilish tail thrashing gleefully at the cautious look in Aiden's eyes. "What's the matter pretty boy? Are you nervous now that the girl isn't here to protect you?"he suggested, moving slowly around Aiden like a predator on the prowl. When asked what he wanted, Ezio gave a light growl."What I want, is for you to stay away from Vesper. Ever since she met you, she's grown soft and weak. It's pathetic."he growled, narrowing his red eyes at the blonde-haired boy.
”He asks if you’re nervous because Natalia isn’t here to protect you…”Aria spoke up, translating Ezio’s speech into words that Aiden could understand,”He says that he wants you to stay away from Vesper, that she’s grown soft and weak ever since she met you...”Vesper…? Was he talking about Natalia? Was that perhaps another alias that she never brought up? Aiden took a deep breath, keeping his body language and gaze steady as he concentrated on Ezio. ”Nervous, yeah, but I’m not afraid…” he responded, eyes trailing after the Absol as he stalked around them, ”And I’m guessing you mean Natalia… As much as I’d hate to be the bearer of bad news, staying away isn’t so simple…” He sighed softly, shaking his head as he hardened his gaze. ”She needs help… It’s not something that anyone can simply run away from, and it’s not something I can simply ignore either…” he continued, determination oozing into his voice as he spoke, ”Still, if you really wanted me to stay away, I’m sure you would kill me… But, that’s not what you came here for, is it? If you really wanted to kill me, I know you would’ve already done so by now. So why are you here, then? It doesn’t seem like you to seek me out just to talk.” Ezio frowned as Aiden called his bluff.“She doesn’t need any help! She’s strong... But you.... You did something to her!”he snarled in accusation. That one fight she just couldn’t finish, the one mission they’d failed. Together they had been able to do anything, they could destroy anyone in their way. Void couldn’t lay a finger on them.... So why....? Why was she running now, like a coward, and pretending to be nice to the boy she’d been ordered to kill? She had asked Ezio what he was fighting for, and ever since then..... He had struggled to answer. If he could convince the boy to stay away from Vesper, then he would have considered it a success, but Aiden was right, he hadn’t come for this.“If I had my way, I would end your pathetic life, and the rat’s,”he growled, eyeing Dag with his steely red gaze,“She’s never cared. What makes you so special? What did you do to her?!”
”She is a strong person, I do agree with you on that. But… she’s sick… Something serious that she’s probably lived her whole life with, something I feel I might be able to help her with, if she’d allow me to, at least…” Aiden spoke as Aria continued to translate, standing firm even as the Absol growled and glared at him, ”And as far as I’m concerned, I didn’t do anything to her… I believe that whatever it was that happened, it was her choice to make, and hers alone… The reason, though, I couldn’t tell you because I’m not even really sure myself. People change over time, sometimes for the better, sometimes for worse. They have a choice in how they want to change and if they truly want to do so, at least, that’s what mom always told me…” His expression softened just the tiniest bit, though his stance remained solid, ”And what about you? Did you ever really have a choice before…?” Ezio growled as Aiden insisted that Vesper was sick. He had refused to believe it, for the longest time. He didn’t understand, he didn’t know. It just pissed him off that anyone suggested that Vesper was sick. Even more so that Aiden was suggesting Vesper had decided herself to change. He really didn’t like Aiden questioning his choices either.“Hmph. Of course I had a choice...”he huffed curtly, giving Aiden a sharp, dangerous glare,“...The girl is in Azalea. By now she’s probably beat Bugsy. If you do anything suspicious to her, I will end you.”Aiden hummed softly at this information, perhaps he should start heading over that way then. Even though he did have every right to fear Ezio, somehow it didn’t seem like the Absol really had bad intentions… though he didn’t doubt for a second that the beast would kill him if he had reason to. In a way, he pitied the Dark-type… remembering how battered and gaunt he had been when they found him with the Rangers in Azalea… Even if Ezio had been responsible for the deaths of his former Pokemon team, he just couldn’t bring himself to truly hate the Absol in spite of everything. Maybe he was too forgiving for his own good, though it hadn’t stopped him before... ”You have my word… It’s the least I can do to repay your trust, miniscule as it may be…” he said with a nod of affirmation. Could it even be called trust? Probably not… but it was something at least, and that was better than nothing. The Absol’s deep red warning glare remained on Aiden for a few moments longer, giving one last growl towards the blonde-haired boy before he turned and skulked away, vanishing into the shadows between the trees the way he had come from. Slowly, the tension that still lingered in the atmosphere dissipated, and Aiden heaved a soft sigh of relief. His Pokemon equally relaxed, Daguerro huffing as he glared after the Absol.”I wouldn’t worry too much about him, if he comes looking for a fight we’ll be more than ready to take him on!”the Jolteon asserted, striking a confident pose as he flashed Aiden a toothy grin. The boy chuckled softly at that, always the optimist Dag was… ”I suppose we should head in the direction of Azalea then, let’s get going,” he said, beckoning his team to come along as they deviated and began heading east going towards Azalea Town. He had a pretty good idea of the general area where the Void base was by now, it would be no trouble returning here later.✦ ✦

Once they entered Ilex, Natalia looked around and took in the sight. It was beautiful here, and peaceful. Here, she could relax a little and let go of her frustrations with Bugsy. "Let's find a clearing to have our picnic." Natalia suggested with a smile. They moved further in. There were a few open grassy areas, but Natalia continued to search until she found a clearing that had an open canopy so that she had some sunlight to work with. Once they had found a space, Natalia used her coat as a picnic blanket and set out the food she had taken from the center before letting her team out so they could eat. "So, where would you like me to pose?" Nyomii asked while Natalia took out her sandwich and art supplies. "Wherever you'd like. Preferably somewhere half in and out of these sunbeams." Nyomii nodded and posed herself accordingly as she nibbled on berries.
Making a small noise of approval, Natalia began to sketch the espeon. "So... If we can't avoid attacks with ghost pokemon, and I don't have a fighting type, what should we do?" Natalia asked as she worked. "We don't really have any strategies we can use at this point. I would say use Blaze would be our core team player again. Her brick break attack can substitute for the lack of a fighting type. Otherwise, I suggest we all just train so that we can get stronger and come up with ways to use what we have." Nyomii suggested.
Meanwhile, she reached out mentally, searching for Aria. "Aria, dear? Are you there?" When Nyomii found the delphox, she smiled, feeling her familiar warm energy. "It's good to feel your presence again. We're having a picnic near the entrance of the forest, would you like to join us?" She offered. Of course, she knew Natalia wouldn't approve. She didn't want to encounter Aiden again, but that wouldn't stop Nyomii from bringing them together. She wasn't the only one either. Ezio had already informed Aiden of Natalia's presence, and was currently watching the group from the shadows without joining in on the feast.

✦ ✦As they made their way towards the side of Ilex Forest going towards Azalea Town, Aiden was still somewhat shaken after his unexpected encounter with Ezio. He supposed he should feel glad that the Absol hadn’t simply taken the opportunity to slaughter him and all of his Pokemon… and yet, somehow he couldn’t help but feel that Ezio seemed a lot different… Just from the way he acted, well, it was still clear as day that he didn’t care for the blonde-haired boy that much, but he just didn’t seem like the same wild, merciless, highly aggressive beast that had been responsible for slaying most of his former team… Still, the Absol had made it abundantly clear that he wouldn’t hesitate to come after Aiden with death in his eyes if he believed the young man would do anything suspicious to Natalia, which was certainly something that Aiden would prefer to avoid if it could be helped. He supposed that, in his own way, Ezio was trusting him with Natalia’s safety… or something like that… He wasn’t entirely sure of what to call it, but it was at least something, and that was worlds better than nothing. Mom had always told him that sometimes life means taking some of the good with the bad, as long as it meant that he would be able to see the sun rise tomorrow then he would accept it. So immersed in his own thoughts he was, Aiden hadn’t noticed Daguerro wander off a little until the Jolteon was nudging at him. ”Hm? What is it, bud?” he asked, blinking curiously when he noticed Dag holding a small bag between his teeth, ”More abandoned stuff?” The Jolteon’s ears twitched slightly at the question, moving his shoulders in a way to imitate a shrug as best he could before depositing the bag into Aiden’s outstretched hand.
Upon opening the bag, Aiden was immediately met with a powerful aroma wafting from inside, one that he clearly recognized as some sort of incense. His father used to burn Rose Incense in particular occasionally, often remarking that the smell helped him with relieving stress, as it reminded him of the sweet-smelling flowers that grow in the Five Isle Meadow. Judging from the odor, it was not Rose Incense, but rather Lax Incense, which had a rather strange scent that helped Pokemon evade attacks a bit more easily. Maybe it could come in handy against Whitney, possibly… Upon further exploring inside the bag, Aiden found a small device that he easily recognized as an EXP Share, and a small red handheld firecracker that he immediately knew was a Roman Candle. These little things were often available on One Island during Tanabata, where vendors would be seen giving them out to festivalgoers and tourists alike for a rather cheap price. He remembered his mom wouldn’t allow him to buy Roman Candles until he was at least 13 years old, it was mostly for safety precautions that vendors weren’t allowed to sell fireworks to children under a certain age since they could be dangerous if not used properly. A soft chuckle left his lips at the memory, figuring he would save the Roman Candle for later as he tucked it away into his bag alongside the Lax Incense. The EXP share, however, would certainly come in handy, seeing as Evelynn and Seras weren’t really getting a lot of training out here. ”Here, Seras, this could come in handy for you,” he suggested with a smile, holding the device up to the Mareve. The little red-furred wolf Pokemon sniffed curiously at it, her ears flattening a bit in uncertainty. Still, if Aiden said it could help… she could surely trust him, right? Somewhat reluctantly, she allowed him to place the odd device on her head, fitting it so that it rested comfortably on her skull.
As they kept walking along in the general direction of Azalea Town, Aiden noticed that there were actually quite a few trainers present within the area as he was approached by a couple of young children followed by a taller teenage boy.”Hey mister! You a trainer?”piped up one of the younger boys, curiously eyeing the blonde-haired boy who was seemingly surrounded by Pokemon. The other boy alongside him elbowed him in the side,”What kinda question is that, Zach? He’s obviously a trainer! Can’t ya tell by all the Pokemon he has?!”Aiden couldn’t help but smile as the two children continued to talk among themselves, flashing occasional admiring looks towards his Pokemon while the teenage boy behind them gave a sheepish grin and a shrug.”Wooooow, your Pokemon look so strong! Can you battle us, mister trainer?”asked the first kid, reaching down to grab one of the four Pokeballs he was carrying on his belt. Aiden chuckled softly, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked at the two kids. ”The name’s Aiden, actually~ And, well, are you really sure you want to battle? My Pokemon are pretty strong…” he spoke with a hint of playfulness, but his tone carried a hint of warning in it as well. His strongest Pokemon were quite capable of taking down most wild Pokemon in Ilex Forest with at least two hits, still, a battle could be helpful in training up for Whitney.”Well, my dad asked me to take my two little cousins out to play in Ilex Forest while they’re here visiting from Sinnoh, I think they’d appreciate it if you battled them,”spoke up the teenager, offering a daring smirk,”How about we make it into a little challenge? If you can beat both of my little cousins in battle, then I’ll take you on.”As much as Aiden was reluctant to fight what would likely be some pretty easy battles, the challenge part of it was certainly quite interesting… ”Well, alright then, but don’t say I didn’t warn you~” he finally agreed with a light, teasing smile, getting into battle position as the first boy stepped up to face him. The little kid appeared to be a primarily Psychic trainer, so Aiden selected Samoa to fight against him. With surprising speed, the Croconaw easily swept through the kid’s Slowpoke, Drowzee, Girafarig, and Spoink with his Bite attack. The next kid was an Ice trainer, so Aria was happy to substitute in for Samoa since the Croconaw didn’t have any effective moves to take on Ice-types, once again easily sweeping through most of the second boys’ team with Fire Blast before knocking out his Smoochum with a Shadow Ball.
”Waah! He’s way too strong!”shouted out the first boy in shock and disbelief, both children quickly running to collect their fainted Pokemon. ”Heh, sorry about that… I’m sure your Pokemon will be fine, though~ Nothing a trip to the Pokemon Center can’t fix,” Aiden reassured gently with a warm smile, helping the two children recover their Pokemon, ”We’re training up to take on Whitney in Goldenrod, though I’m sure we’ve still got a bit of a ways to go before we’re truly ready.” The teen quirked an eyebrow in interest, pulling out one of his own Pokeballs as he stepped in to take the place of his two cousins against the blonde-haired boy.”Pretty impressive that you’re planning to go up against Whitney, that Miltank of hers has a real notorious reputation for being tough to take down. I remember my dad telling us it took him at least two tries to beat her when he was on his Pokemon journey back in the day,”he remarked, tossing out his first Pokeball to reveal a Mr. Mime,”But you beat both of my little cousins fair and square, so it’s my turn now.”Aiden gave a light laugh as he shrugged, sending Samoa back out to go up against the teenage trainer.”Get ‘em, big cuz!”shouted one of the kids from the sidelines, hoping that the teen would stand more of a chance against the blonde-haired trainer than they did. The teen’s Pokemon were all Fairy-type, and a couple of them were evolved and slightly stronger than the two younger boys’ teams. However, Samoa’s newly learned Iron Tail move proved to be useful as he easily swept through the Fairy-types with the strong Steel-type move. Within minutes, the battle was over once again.✦ ✦

✦ ✦The teenage boy chuckled as he returned his last fainted Pokemon, placing the Pokeballs back on his belt.”Heh, well you’re certainly something, Aiden, clearly none of us stood even a sliver of a chance against you,”he remarked, holding a hand out towards the blonde-haired boy,”Still, you won fair and square. Thanks for the battle, I definitely had fun even though I got beaten pretty badly.”Aiden smiled warmly, taking hold of the teen’s outstretched hand and giving it a firm shake. ”No problem~ Sorry that I more or less steamrolled both you and your little cousins, but winning or losing doesn’t matter as long as you’re having fun,” he reciprocated, chuckling lightheartedly as he flashed a thumbs up towards the two kids.”You’re pretty cool, mister Aiden!”exclaimed the one little boy, Zach, he remembered the other calling him,”Maybe you can come to Sinnoh someday! Me n’ Cody will work on getting stronger, so we’ll be able to put up more of a fight next time!”The other boy, Cody, nodded vigorously in agreement, flashing a determined look towards the blonde-haired trainer.”Yeah! You won because you got home advantage here, it would’ve been much different if we’d been in Hearthome City!”the kid insisted, trying to come up with excuses as to how Aiden beat them so easily. The blonde-haired boy chuckled softly, deciding to just play along with it. ”Heh, yeah, I’m sure we wouldn’t have stood a chance if this was in Sinnoh instead~ Still, if I ever find myself in that area in the future, I’d be happy for a rematch someday!” he said with a nod, maybe someday he would pay a visit there after getting an easier means of travel. They’d have to beat Chuck first to be able to fly to wherever they wanted, and Cianwood City was still quite a ways away. Not that Aiden was really in much of a hurry to go anywhere, of course.
”I should really get going, though. I’m planning on meeting up with a friend of mine here soon, she’s probably already on her way from Azalea,” he said with a nod towards them, ”It was nice to meet you all, and hopefully we’ll see each other again in the near future~” The teen boy, whose name he still hadn’t gotten, hummed and nodded.”We should head back to Azalea anyways to get our Pokemon healed up. Maybe we’ll meet again someday, Aiden,”he stated, gesturing for Zach and Cody to come along as he started walking off in the direction of Azalea Town as he waved to Aiden,”Best of luck against Whitney and the other Johto Gyms!”The blonde-haired trainer smiled warmly, waving towards the trio as the two younger kids eagerly waved farewell to him and quickly ran off after their older cousin.”Hey, Jackie, wait up!”Cody called out after the teen, just as the three of them disappeared among the thicket. Aiden continued to wave good-bye after them until they were no longer in sight, smiling warmly to Samoa and Aria as they started walking again. ”You both did great out there~” he praised, feeling somewhat more confident that they would be able to take on Whitney soon enough. Aria smiled brightly, taking Aiden’s determination in stride as she puffed out her chest proudly. Samoa, on the other hand, simply huffed and looked away, though the sideways glance towards his trainer coupled with the smallest hint of a grin on his face didn’t go unnoticed.
Along the way, they found themselves being engaged for battles with a couple more trainers. A Psychic trainer whose Pokemon Samoa easily laid low with a combination of well-placed Bite, Iron Tail, and Hydro Pump attacks. Already, he could feel himself growing stronger and stronger, it wouldn’t take much longer now until he was strong enough to even outmuscle Kaizer at this rate. Their second opponent was a Dragon Tamer, a fairly inexperienced one at that considering his Pokemon were still at their first stage of evolution. Yet another easy fight as Samoa blasted the Dragon-types back with four powerful Ice Punches. As he batted away the last remaining healthy Pokemon on the Tamer’s team, a Deino, Samoa felt a strange sensation come over him as his body was enveloped in white light. Finally… he had finally gotten strong enough to achieve his final form at long last! Aiden and the rest shielded their eyes against the bright light, and when it finally faded away, a Feraligatr now stood where the Croconaw had once been.” Well damn!”whistled Daguerro as he gazed up at his newly evolved partner,”You’re just moving right along! At this rate, we’ll easily kick Whitney’s a** into next month!”Samoa growled softly, rolling his eyes at his Jolteon companion’s enthusiastic remarks, though he appreciated them nonetheless. ”Great job, Samoa~” Aiden praised, feeling quite proud that his starter had finally evolved into his last form. Huffing in approval, Samoa glanced at the shimmering Eviolite in his hand, no longer feeling the strengthening aura it had once radiated around him. Seemed he no longer had use for it now that he was fully evolved, so he handed it back to Aiden, who accepted it and returned it into his bag for later. Pulling out the Expert Belt he had recently gotten, he handed it to the Feraligatr, who took it and tied it around his upper arm like a band. Between Samoa and Kaizer, surely they would be able to stand more of a chance against Whitney. Of course, he’d still have to work on training up the rest of his team, from Whitney and onwards he couldn’t just rely on only a couple of his stronger ‘mons to carry them through every Gym battle. Morty, the Gym Leader of Ecruteak, would be much more of a challenge than Whitney, and so on and so forth. For now, though, Aiden was more than content to take his time. He didn’t really have any major goals such as taking on the Elite Four and becoming Johto Champion, but he wanted to be strong enough to take on Team Void and hopefully rescue his parents and the other Five Islanders who were taken into captivity. It could very well be a suicide mission, of course, but Aiden was willing to put his life on the line if it meant he could save those of many others.
As they carefully picked their way through the forest, Aria’s ears perked up as she thought she’d detected the energy of another Psychic type trying to reach out from somewhere close by. The energy felt soft, warm… familiar, like an old friend that she had been missing for far too long. The moment she felt a telepathic connection being established, she smiled brightly as the soothing voice of a certain Espeon filled her mind.”Mimi, it feels like it’s been far too long since I’ve last heard your voice~”she chimed in happily, chuckling softly as Nyomii mentioned that she and Natalia were having a picnic by the forest entrance and asked if they wanted to join,”We’d be more than glad to~ Funny that you mention it, we’re already heading over that way ourselves.”Of course, not long after she mentioned it, the forest ahead opened up into a clearing. Towards the center of the clearing sat Natalia on a jacket, using it as a makeshift picnic blanket, while her Pokemon sat around her, enjoying a smorgasbord of Pokemon food and berries. It definitely still seemed that a large portion of her team was missing, the Kyurem she had encountered back in Violet City, her Mega Mawile, the Samurott, Tyrantrum, and that strange wolf pup Pokemon she had gotten off that Void grunt… Kaizer, in particular, gave a huff of disappointment upon noticing the lack of Calliope’s presence as well. Aiden also noticed the lack of a certain Absol’s presence as well, though surely Ezio couldn’t be that far away… Natalia seemed rather engrossed in her sketchbook at the moment, while a lovely white Espeon posed nearby within the shadows and sunbeams. Aria was immediately taken aback upon spotting the new form of her Espeon friend, but the familiar energy coming off of the other Psychic-type could not be mistaken for anyone else.”Oh my… Mimi, what’s happened to you?”Aria couldn’t help but inquire, absolutely agog as she took in the Espeon’s new pure white fur, as well as the multitude of colorful orbs that formed a floating ring around her neck,”You look… absolutely stunning, my dear~”
Aiden stayed back for a moment, admiring the scene of Natalia busily sketching away, surrounded by her Pokemon and the peaceful serenity of the forest around her… He almost wanted to take out his own sketchbook to capture a lovely scene like this and immortalize it in ink and colors, but there was a proper time and place for everything. Taking a deep breath, the blonde-haired boy approached with his Pokemon in tow, Aria and Thalia walking alongside him, Seras staying perched on his shoulders, with Samoa, Daguerro, Kaizer, and Annabelle trailing behind. ”Hey Natalia~” Aiden greeted warmly as he walked over, smiling brightly as he waved in greeting to her, ”I unfortunately haven’t had much luck in finding any of the Pokemon you lost during the time warp, but hopefully you’ve been able to recover at least some of what was missing so far…” As he spoke, he sheepishly rubbed at the back of his head with his free hand, as the other one was still being held by Thalia’s ribbon as the Sylveon walked beside him. The Fairy-type faltered upon seeing Natalia, flashbacks of what had happened back in Berry Forest immediately coming to mind. Instinctively, the Sylveon moved back a bit to hide behind Aiden until only part of her head and front half remained unobscured, dragging his hand along with her the whole way since she refused to let go of it.”F-Fey…?”she inquired meekly, her ribbon’s grip on Aiden’s wrist tightening ever so slightly.✦ ✦

Lucille was breathing heavy as she and Helmy-chan chased down the little bug; spending so much time indoors didn't really help her stamina. Stop...running...away...bug! By the time they thought they had caught up, The bug had hopped up and climbed a tree, making its way to the top with ease. The mute looked up, furrowing her brows. Okay, fine! I'll just come up there and get you! She stormed up to the tree trunk, and threw herself onto it, trying to straddle it with her legs. But, as hard as she tried, she only made it a few feet up before her arms gave out and she slid back down. Oof! C'mon, Lucy! We can do it! And she did her best to try again, but only ended up sliding back even further. The bug chittered in a mocking fashion, and made its way further down the branch.
However, it was then that a murkrow swooped down, and landed close to the little bug. It squawked loudly, looking ready to make a meal out of the insect. Oh no...I don't want it to get eaten! Helmy-chan, let's help! The helmition didn't argue why letting a thief live when death is a proper penalty for theft, and instead caught the crow's attention with a tackle. The murkrow was surprised by the attack, and they were soon in a proper fight. How tedious...a proper challenge would be wonderful sometime, madame. But, I'll take these layabouts for now. With another bonk, the Murkrow was defeated. Lucille pumped out her fists in victory, and finally fell completely from the tree, landing on her back. She closed her eyes as she winced, and when she opened them, the little bug was sitting on her chest. Hey, you're okay! It seemed to place its little fangs in her sweater gently, and took in the static electricity it constantly made from Lucille's moving around.
Now that it wasn't moving, Lucille used her Pokedex to figure out what it was. "Joltik, the Attaching Pokemon:Since it can't generate its own electricity, it sticks onto large-bodied Pokémon and absorbs static electricity." It started to click in her head on what had gone down; Oh, so you were just really hungry! The Pokedex also depicted what a usual Joltik looked like: ususally yellow, with accented blue. However, this Joltik was Jet black with red eyes, looking quite menacing if it wasn't so small and adorable. And you're a special kind, too! You're really cool, little fella! She gently rubbed its furry little body with her index finger, and it chittered softly. It seems to like you, madame. Shall you take it along with us? Lucille thought it over for just a second before producing a pokeball. Joltik looked at it, made a little hiss, and tried to attack it. Instead, he booped against it, and was caught. Yay! I caught another Pokemon! She got herself off of the ground, and wiped herself off. Okay! Let's get Gena and Samson, and get moving!
Nyomii couldn't help but smile as she finally re-connected with Aria. "I agree. I suppose time travel will do that." She remarked with a frown, though she was happy to hear that they were already heading towards the picnic area. "Oh? Did you sense that we were here?" Nyomii chuckled. Sure enough, she soon saw the group approach, smiling at Aria as she commented on her new look. "Thank you~ We found the most intriguing rainbow stone, and it just reacted to me... I'm not sure what happened exactly but before I knew it, I looked like this and Natalia was asking to draw me." She chuckled sheepishly.
Natalia, of course, was far too engrossed in her drawing to notice the entourage that had arrived. Or at least, that was the case until Aiden called out to her. Natalia nearly jumped out of her skin as Aiden greeted her, fumbling to catch the pencil that she'd tossed into the air in surprise. "A-aiden!" Natalia gasped. Honestly, she had completely forgotten that they had planned to meet in the forest. If she had remembered.... Natalia frowned, eyes falling to the grass. "O-oh... No... I have yet to find anything other than what I had to start with..." She reported reluctantly, glancing to Thalia as she called out to her. "Ah... Thalia....?" She said hesitantly. Natalia was fairly sure that was the sylveon's name.
"Well don't just stand there dears, come and join us. There's plenty of food here." Nyomii insisted, earning a disapproving look from Natalia. What do you expect me to say, dear? Tell them to leave us? Nyomii chided in an aside to Natalia. Fine... I suppose you have a point. Natalia agreed reluctantly. She still somehow felt betrayed by all of this. She had never intended to reunite with Aiden, but now it seemed she had little choice in the matter. She suspected Nyomii having a hand in this, but no proof to back it up, nor did she think the espeon would admit to anything.

✦ ✦As they headed over in the direction of Azalea Town, Aria felt a mixture of joy and relief when she reconnected with Nyomii once again. The Espeon had been kept primarily in her ball for most of Tanabata, and then they had gotten split up during the time warp. To hear the Espeon’s voice again was like hearing from a long-lost friend who she hadn’t seen in years. She chuckled softly at Nyomii’s agreement, saying that time travel could do that, though she could feel the shift in the Espeon’s energy indicating her mild bout of frustration. It didn’t last, however, when the Delphox mentioned that they were already headed over there when they were invited to the picnic that Nyomii and Natalia were having, her fellow Psychic-type asked if she had sensed that they were here.”Not necessarily…”Aria responded, biting her lip a little as she spoke,”To put it simply, we were informed by a certain… ‘third party’ that you all would be arriving here soon.”She was still fairly wary when it came to Ezio, though thankfully the Absol hadn’t necessarily acted physically hostile towards them at the very least. Upon approaching the picnic site, the Delphox was immediately taken aback by the sudden change in appearance Nyomii had since she’d last seen her. The Espeon’s light violet purple fur was now bleached pure white, and she had undergone a few other cosmetic changes including the ring of multicolored orbs that surrounded her neck like a mane of sorts. A bright grin crossed Aria’s face as Nyomii thanked her for the compliment, explaining the story of how she had come to be like this. Apparently at some point they had come across some sort of rainbow stone, and when Nyomii had touched it, it reacted and next thing she knew it had changed her appearance to that. She wasn’t sure of the exact specifics of what happened, but soon afterwards Natalia had asked to draw her.”A rainbow stone? How intriguing… I think I’ve heard stories here and there about such odd stones, how they can change a Pokemon’s appearance as far as colors and such. Sort of like shiny Pokemon, but a bit different, I think, with some being more elaborate than others,”the Delphox responded, giving a light laugh,”Still, I can’t blame Natalia at all for wanting to draw you, I’ll admit you wear white quite well, dear~ It gives you a sort of… almost angelic pureness, like a divine oracle or a priest, if that makes any sense…”
Of course, with Natalia being completely engrossed in her drawing, she hadn’t noticed Aiden and his party arrive until he spoke up and greeted her. At his sudden announcement of his presence, she nearly jumped out of surprise, involuntarily flinging her pencil up in the air before she quickly moved to catch it. ”Ah, sorry, didn’t mean to startle you there!” Aiden exclaimed quickly, laughing a bit as he gave a sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his neck. When asked if she had managed to find anymore of her Pokemon or items that she’d lost in the time warp, she averted her gaze towards the grass, saying that she had yet to really find anything aside from what she already had. ”I see…” he spoke, his face softening for a moment before the corner of his lips tugged up in a small, reassuring smile, ”Well, at the very least it looks like you’ve gotten the badges you needed back. And I’d be happy to help you look for the other Pokemon you’re still missing, if you’d like. Who knows, maybe there are a few around here? I'm sure they're looking for you too, wherever they may be~” He glanced down towards Thalia as the Sylveon moved to hide a little behind him, smiling softly as Natalia called out to the Fairy-type, though seemed a little hesitant. Thalia glanced towards the girl, giving a small smile and wagging her tail a bit.”Y-yes,”she reciprocated in confirmation, though she didn’t make any move to get any closer to Natalia just yet.
Aiden smiled warmly as Nyomii insisted that they join them, and that there was plenty of food to go around. ”Well, we had lunch not too long ago, so most of us aren’t all that hungry,” he said, before nodding in agreement, ”Though, since you offered, I don’t see the harm in it~” Still, he wasn’t sure if his newest teammate really had a lot to eat, perhaps Mogwai would appreciate a bit of food since he'd only recently joined them. And if he had previously been in Void's custody... it was possible that the Bewear wasn't often given a lot to eat, knowing how those bastards tended to treat Pokemon being subjected to their 'training regimen'... Reaching into his bag, he pulled out the Bewear’s ball, tapping the button to let him out. Almost immediately when the Bewear was released, he wasted no time in tackling Aiden into an affectionate hug with a deep, happy growl.”Aaaaiiiideeennn~!!”he bellowed in joy as he wrapped his thick arms around the blonde-haired boy, though was thankfully much more careful this time around so that he wasn’t accidentally crushing Aiden with his sheer strength. ”Hey bud, glad you’re doing alright now,” the boy said with a soft chuckle, amiably patting the Bewear’s arm, ”I figured you were hungry, we’re joining a picnic and there’s plenty of food to go around~” The Bewear hummed lowly, just now realizing how hungry he was as he let go of Aiden.”Mmmm… Fooood soouunnnd gooood,”he agreed heartily, though first he turned to look towards Natalia curiously as he tilted his head and raised a paw towards his muzzle as if in thought,”Yooouuu frrrieeennnd?”It seemed that his new trainer knew this person, though Mogwai was unsure of what to make of her until he could confirm that she was friendly at the very least. Aiden smiled softly towards the Bewear, taking off his own jacket and carefully laying it in the grass, his other Pokemon moving to join in on the picnic with them as he took a seat. Thalia stuck by Aiden the whole time, though while he was getting himself situated, she slowly released her hold on his hand and approached Natalia. She seemed hesitant and apprehensive as she moved closer little by little, pausing when she was only a foot or two away.”Fey?”she asked once again, her voice a bit more quiet as she nervously glanced towards the girl, as if waiting for a signal to indicate that it was okay for her to come closer.✦ ✦

Nyomii tilted her head in confusion as Aria insisted they were informed by a third party, but she wasn't sure how that was possible unless... "Ezio?!" She blinked in surprise, unable to imagine the absol coming to Aiden's group simply to inform them of Natalia's presence and leaving them unscathed, especially considering he had attacked his own teammates and trainer. She would think it over another time, her head hurt too much to reason for the odd absol right now. Instead, she was far more happy to retell how she had gotten her new look. "Divine oracle? I like the sound of that~" Nyomii chuckled, her tail swishing side to side contently. "I'd like to see what effects it would give you, Ria. Metaphorically, of course." She couldn't very well take a look herself but she could see Aria through another pair of eyes.
When Aiden made himself known, he'd nearly caused Natalia jump out of her skin. It wasn't his fault, really, Natalia had just forgotten that he had been expecting to meet them here, and her plans to avoid him, so the shock of remembering was more startling than anything else. "I-it's fine, I suppose I was just so focused on my work...." She chuckled, catching him up to speed on inventory. "Perhaps... It's just concerning that they could be anywhere, any time. It makes it a lot harder to look for them, really." She frowned. Why were they even sent through time in the first place? "This forest is known to be the home of the same time guardian who saved you both. Perhaps you could offer a prayer at the shrine?" Nyomii suggested. Natalia bit back her skepticism at the idea. She could hardly believe that she was saved by a legendary. None of it made any sense, and she doubted that she could just wish her pokemon back. Her jaw tightened with the effort not to voice anything as she finished coloring Nyomii's portrait and began to pack up.
Her attention briefly turned Thalia as she cried out curiously, tail wagging a little as Natalia remembered her name. Still, the sylveon kept her distance for some reason, as happy as she seemed to see Natalia alive and well. That was... Concerning. She's a timid little fairy, and she probably just senses that you're not quite yourself, so she's probably unsure as well. I wouldn't be too concerned. Nyomii explained lightly, but Natalia couldn't help but worry there was perhaps something else to the equation.
Move.
Natalia blinked as she recalled her own voice saying things she didn't remember; a distant memory surfaced foggily in her mind. She had been glaring at Thalia, who looked at her with the same soft innocent blue eyes that didn't know any better, and yet all Natalia could think at the time was that this weakling was in her way. She shuddered, guiltily averted her gaze and focusing on packing up her art supplies and offering the rest of her picnic to Aiden and his team. It seemed they had already eaten, but that didn't stop him from releasing a large pink bear pokemon who immediately threw himself on Aiden into a literal bear hug. "Oh~ Did you make a new friend while we were gone Aiden?" Nyomii asked with amusement, but also in part to clue Natalia in. "Y-yes.... I've never seen this pokemon with you before." She added, trying to sound convincing, though perhaps a little too hard. The bewear seemed to perk up at the idea of food, observing Natalia curiously. "Oh.... I...." Natalia hesitated "Yes dearie, we're all friends here. You're welcome to eat as much as you'd like." Nyomii insisted as Natalia shifted in discomfort and picked absently at the grass beneath her until Thalia called out to her again. Natalia tensed and looked to the sylveon wide-eyed. "Y-yes...? What is it...?" She asked. She wasn't sure what Thalia really wanted. Given her little flashback, she didn't know why the sylveon would want anything to do with her, really...

A bit concerned… What am I thinking?’Is she really feeling okay…?’ Team Out of Ball: Counters: Movement: 3/3 Wild Pokemon: 180/5 NPC Battle: 145/15 Item Quest: Heart Scale: 6/10 Big Mushroom: 31/30 Choice Scarf: 2/30 Jaboca Berries x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Wacan Berries x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Fast Balls x5 (Horoscope ; Unclaimed) Blue Apricorn (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Blue Flute (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Blue Shard (4th of July Blue Bundle ; Unclaimed) Shiny Pokemon Egg (Easter 2015 Giveaway ; Unclaimed) Liechi Berries x5 Level 11 Charizard, Level 5 Smeargle, Level 10 Trainer Red Lapras, Level 10 Cobalion, Level 5 Mudsdale (Unclaimed)
✦ ✦Aria could sense Nyomii’s confusion at the mention that they had been informed by aforementioned ‘third party’, before the Espeon realized who it was that the Delphox was referring to. If her fellow Psychic type’s expression was anything to go by, Aria couldn’t help but wonder what all had happened prior to their meeting up. Perhaps there had been an altercation of some sort between Ezio and Nyomii at some point… Still, she supposed that it was probably best left alone for the time, Nyomii didn’t seem to really be in the right mindset to discuss the strange actions of the Absol right now. So she was happy to shift the topic over to how Nyomii had gotten that rather nice new look of hers. The Delphox chuckled softly at the Espeon’s comment of how she quite liked the idea of a ‘divine oracle’.”It certainly fits you quite well, darling~”she agreed wholeheartedly with a nod, tilting her head in curiosity as she considered Nyomii’s words about how the odd rainbow stone would affect her. In a theoretical sense, of course, but still… she couldn’t help but humor the idea.”Well, if we stumble across another one of those stones at some point, we could very well find out for ourselves sometime~”she suggested with a bright smile, performing a bit of a flourish and causing her long red ‘dress’ to sway to and fro,”What would you think would be a nice look for me, Mimi? Hypothetically speaking, of course. Maybe something along the lines of a woodland-dwelling druid? Or perhaps a voodoo priestess?”There were quite a few possibilities that jumped to mind right away, though she was rather curious of what her Espeon friend thought. The idea of a voodoo priestess sounded quite interesting… she recalled Nyomii asking her if she knew any hexes or jinxes to punish October’s elder brother for his reprehensible behavior and how he had treated River back in Violet City. Of course, there was the possibility that the chances of them coming across one of those stones were virtually slim to none, given that they were supposedly rather hard to find. Still, a girl could dream, right?
Aiden hadn’t quite expected Natalia to react so strongly when he had announced himself, she might as well have just seen a ghost just from how startled she’d seemed. She quickly dismissed his apology, saying that she guessed she had just been so focused on her work. Well, he supposed that he could’ve just stood back and waited to approach after she had finished, but… that would’ve looked rather creepy if he thought hard on it. He simply smiled and nodded in response, listening as she said that perhaps some of her Pokemon were around here. However, considering that they had literally traveled through time, Arceus knows what could have happened to the Pokemon that she lost along the way. And considering that they had been warped through time, it was entirely possible that they had ended up in an entirely different time period. Traveling through time was certainly far from a smooth ride… and really thinking about it now, they could only hope that at least some of Natalia’s missing Pokemon had been deposited somewhere along the way here in modern Johto. ”You certainly have a point…” he said with a nod, worrying at his lip a bit as a thoughtful expression crossed his face, ”I suppose that the best case scenario here would be that at least some of them made it here in Johto somewhere like we did, even if they aren’t anywhere close by right now.” The concern in his expression deepened as he took another moment to think. ”And, well, if we’re unable to find either some, most, or any of them… Think the only thing we could do in that case is hope that they’ve found their way into good hands somehow,” he continued, though he offered a small, reassuring smile towards her, ”Still, hopefully at least some of them can be recovered, we’ll just have to figure out where to start looking~”
At the mention of offering thanks to the time guardian at the shrine from Nyomii, Aria nodded in agreement.”Certainly~ It’s only the proper thing to do, after all. I’m not entirely certain of what may have happened otherwise if we hadn’t been sent forward in time, but clearly it must’ve been something of relative significance if Celebi was willing to do a favor like this for you both,”she suggested, recalling seeing the general area of where the shrine was through the trees when they had trekked over here. ”It’s certainly not a half bad idea, especially if Celebi put itself at risk to help us,” he agreed, recalling hearing the soft chime of a bell as time seemed to suddenly slow and then distort around them, ”The shrine is just along the way heading towards Goldenrod. A quick visit couldn’t hurt, right?”
As Natalia put away her art supplies, Aiden accepted the invitation to the picnic courtesy of Nyomii as he let Mogwai out of his ball. The rest of them were still pretty full from eating lunch at that ramen shop in Goldenrod, but considering that the Bewear had only recently joined them it was probably safe to assume that he hadn’t eaten yet. And considering he had previously been in Void’s custody… Aiden couldn’t help but feel that perhaps Mogwai had only been given minimal portions at most. Pain and hunger could be powerful motivators when used in an effective, if terrible, manner, it was possible that his ‘handlers’ had deliberately withheld food for long periods as a means of forcing the Bewear to comply with their orders. Aiden smiled softly as Nyomii asked if he had made a new friend while they’d been away, blinking a bit as Natalia chipped in too, though something about how she had said it seemed a little off… ”I suppose you could say that~ Mogwai’s our latest teammate, though he was in a bit of a bad way when we first found him…” he responded, unable to help but let a bit of worry trickle into his tone, ”I believe he was a former Void test subject, and probably far from home since I’ve never seen or heard of a Bewear until now...” Mogwai, on the other hand, seemed delighted at Nyomii’s assurances that they were all friends, though at the suggestion of eating as much as he liked, the Bewear became quite hesitant.”Mooogwaaaiii nnnooot sssuuuree… Iiis rrreeaaalllyyyy oookaayy?”he asked, shuffling his feet a little as he nervously fiddled with his paws.
”Of course, bud~ Here,” Aiden suggested, reaching over a little and grabbing as big a handful of Pokemon food as he could, offering it towards the Bewear, ”Just eat this little helping, and if you’re still hungry then you’re welcome to have more if you really want to.” Still hesitant, Mogwai padded over and accepted the proffered food, seating himself in the grass close by. The Bewear took a few experimental nibbles of food, before starting to take in larger bites as his hunger seemed to be kicking in. With Mogwai occupied, Aiden glanced over towards Natalia, concern in his bright blue eyes as he noted her body language and how Thalia seemed to be acting towards her. ”Is everything alright, Natalia? You haven’t had any significant adverse effects from the time travel?” he asked, unable to help but sound a little worried. He remembered that slow, sluggish feeling he’d experienced when he had first woken up after the time warp, even just mustering up the energy to move only a finger had felt like a chore. He couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps it could’ve had other effects, like severe retroactive memory loss or even physical distortions… Considering it had been their first time doing anything like that, Arceus knows what effects it could’ve had… even if they weren’t all that apparent at first.
Thalia seemed hesitant to proceed any further as Natalia addressed her again, seeming rather tense and maybe a bit surprised. The way the girl had averted her gaze, the faint aura of guilt and regret, hadn’t gone unnoticed by the Sylveon. At the time, she hadn’t been too certain of what could have caused the sudden shift in Natalia’s mood, recalling how the girl had practically glared at her back in the Berry Forest. Though… after hearing Aria’s explanation after she had gotten those pills, it seemed to make a bit more sense now. Even after what had happened, the Sylveon felt that it would only be right to try and make amends, even if perhaps Natalia hadn’t been in complete control of herself at the time… Taking a breath and steeling herself, Thalia padded closer to the girl, closing the distance between them finally. The Sylveon slowly reached a ribbon out, gently curling it around the girl’s hand, somewhat nervously anticipating that she might try to pull it away. She then leaned in close, nuzzling softly against Natalia as she gazed up towards her with her soft, pastel blue eyes, resting a little pink paw against her leg.”Fey…”she repeated quietly, offering a small smile,”Is okay… Not worry… Is okay…”Even though she couldn’t put exactly what she wanted to say completely, she hoped that the reassuring message was still clear enough to be understood. The Sylveon didn’t want to distance herself from the girl, and the little Fairy-type just didn’t have the capacity to hate either. Even if Natalia might push her away, she at the very least wanted to let the girl know that she didn’t harbor any ill will between them for what had happened.✦ ✦

Nyomii nodded as Aria gave more thought to her suggestions of possible looks that a stone would give her. "Well regardless of the outcome, I'm sure you'll look wonderful~" She insisted, her forked tail swaying happily. Natalia watched as Aiden grasped for some kind of silver lining. How he was so stubbornly optimistic, Natalia would probably never know. Her pokemon were lost, it seemed easier to just accept that now instead of aimlessly searching the forest with false hopes of finding clues. It just delayed the inevitable. However, Natalia had a difficult time quashing that optimism simply for the sake of forcing her own realistic expectations on him. Natalia, on the other hand, wasn't about to get her hopes up and instead forced a smile to make Aiden feel like he was helping her spirits. It was the least she could do—after all, it wasn't his fault she was so jaded. "No, as relaxing and scenic as the forest is, I'd rather not scour the place. I feel like we'd be just as likely to run into my pokemon by chance as we would sitting and waiting in any particular area. If we happened to find any clues though, that would be nice." Natalia agreed.
As awkward as Natalia had been, she was glad Mogwai ended up getting some food, and she busied herself with packing up so that she wouldn't continue unintentionally making Mogwai feel unwelcome. It wouldn't be left at that though as both Aiden and Thalia seemed to sense that something was amiss. Natalia wanted to bear her guilt alone and suffer silently, but they didn't allow it. There was only so much Natalia could take before she gave in to the insistent sylveon and hugged her close, letting the fairy's warm and loving aura wash over her. Though she felt better, the pangs of guilt were still there in the back of her mind, but they had numbed enough to set the sylveon down and move on. Though she was skeptical, Natalia didn't see an issue with dropping by the shrine and offering a prayer as thanks if it was on the way to Goldenrod. However unbelievable the reason, the fact was her and Aiden's lives had been saved. For that, she did owe some gratitude. The problem was she didn't really know how to properly make an offering at a shrine. Aria suggested providing a food or trinket, so Natalia began to dig in her bag to see what she had on hand. The first trinket she found was a small sylveon plush, and with heat rising in her cheeks, she quickly stashed the stuffed toy back in her bag, silently refusing to give it up. "I have some berries, but I don't know if they're any good to just snack on. I also have some chocolate heart candies... Maybe those will work?" She suggested. Aiden also didn't have the right type of incense for an offering, so this would be a clunky ritual at best.
Nevertheless, when they found the shrine, Natalia moved to place a few of the chocolates at the base of the structure. There were also some fresh incense sticks unlit in small pots on the sides that they could use. Then, Natalia knelt down, closing her hands in front of her face and burying the thought that some kid was probably going to steal the chocolates before any time guardian found them. "I don't really know what to say, but..." Natalia sighed. "Thank you, guardian of the forest, for keeping watch and saving our lives." Natalia tried her best not to sound cheesy and insincere, but this was really a struggle for her. All of it just seemed so ridiculous and silly and unnecessary. Then she heard the familiar chime of a small bell, and opening her eyes, she found that the chocolates were gone, and sitting atop of the shrine, a celebi nibbled at the chocolate eagerly, some of the slightly melted parts getting stuck to her face. Natalia couldn't help but gawk at the sight until the celebi finished the chocolate and delicately licked her fingers before peering down at the two trainers curiously. "Bi?" Hopping off of the shrine, she moved straight to Natalia's bag and began digging around for more of the chocolates with no regard for personal space. "H-hey! Cut it out!" Natalia backed away, pulling her bag with her, but the forest sprite gave her an innocent look before laughing jovially and chasing after her. "S-stop...! Ah!" Natalia scrambled backward and tripped on a tree root before falling over. "Owww.....!" Natalia grimaced, but Hinata only continued to laugh like an amused child, her bell ringing with each peal of laughter. "That's it, no more chocolate for you." Natalia huffed, folding her arms irritably, but Hinata had already moved on, floating over to Aiden and patting his fluffy hair with awe. It seemed she had the attention span of a peanut.
"Well then." Nyomii chuckled. "It seems you've earned her favor. She says she's glad you're both safe now. Apparantly Isis was quite worried." Natalia gave Nyomii a curious look, and the espeon quietly filled in the blanks. Or rather, the ones she knew. Natalia still hadn't fully elaborated on their history after all, but whatever Nyomii passed along seemed to have been enough. "She knows Isis......?" Natalia asked, brow furrowing. "Bi!~" Hinata exclaimed, and Nyomii nodded. "However, let us focus on the fact that you have been presented with an opportunity to regain what you have lost in time traveling with this little guardian." Nyomii hinted. "Oh.... R-right... Celebi...? I lost some of my pokemon when you took me through time. Could you please help me find them?" Hinata paused and looked thoughtful, tapping her chin before humming and glowing. The trees seemed to sway slowly as the world grew quiet for all but the tingle of Hinata's bell, then all at once several pokemon tumbled out of a portal and Hinata brightened. "Bi!" She chirped, circling around Natalia's lost pokemon. There were four in total, Reaper, Calliope, Jade, and Jet, but that was far fewer than what Natalia was expecting. Sensing Natalia's apprehension about the remaining pokemon, Nyomii silently conversed with Hinata as her trainer reunited with her team. Calliope was the first to surge toward Natalia and fluff her up with affection. ('Oh mon amie! I was so worried!') Natalia chuckled and hesitantly stroked Caliope's feathers before gasping as she was also hit with what felt like a ton of bricks as Jet greeted her in a similar fashion, except he wasn't as cuddly as he seemed to believe. "I have good news and bad news... The bad news is the rest aren't coming, but the good news is that your other pokemon have found trainers that are taking care of them." Natalia felt mildly shocked at the news, but she was glad to hear that her pokemon were in good hands. "Bii..." Hinata faltered and slowly floated down into Natalia's arms tiredly. "It must have taken a lot of energy for her to bring these four here. Let's let her rest and keep an eye on her. It's the least we could do." Natalia nodded in agreement, returning her pokemon to their balls and standing as she carefully cradled Hinata in her arms.

✦ ✦Aria couldn’t help but smile at Nyomii’s pleased expression as she admired the Espeon’s new look. Of course, if the nature of how the change in coloration could have come out was random, thankfully it wasn’t something like an ugly plaid design or just a bunch of horribly clashing colors. Goodness, she hoped nothing that like would happen if she were to come across one of those mystical stones herself. The Delphox chuckled softly as Nyomii suggested that she would make for a beautiful woodland creature, though she could possibly also pull off the voodoo priestess aesthetic depending on how it looked.”Mmmmm… I would certainly hope so!”she chipped in, musing at Nyomii’s suggestion of a traditional kabuki look complete with beads and face paint,”That also sounds quite delightful, Mimi~ I’ll admit I’m a bit partial to the traditional, ancestral-like aesthetic… Still, I suppose we’d never truly know for sure until we find another one of those stones, though the element of surprise certainly makes it all the more exciting~”
As Aiden and Natalia spoke, he couldn’t help but wonder if maybe they would even be able to find any of Natalia’s missing Pokemon. Considering how chaotic and unpredictable time travel was, they could’ve ended up virtually anywhere, even in completely different time periods altogether. He wanted to maintain some optimism, though, hoping that even if they couldn’t find all of the missing Pokemon, hopefully at least some of them ended up here along with them in modern day Johto. Of course, he wasn’t entirely certain of where they would even begin to start if they were to search for them, perhaps they could just continue on their journey as usual and possibly find the missing Pokemon somewhere along the way. It was about the only logical choice they had, since they likely wouldn’t even know where to start looking for them. Ilex Forest itself was quite expansive as well, and it would probably be a waste of time for them to spend a good several hours just combing through it from top to bottom. He offered a small smile as Natalia agreed, though she seemed hesitant on the idea. To be fair, she certainly had good reason for it, they didn’t necessarily have any proof, yet at the very least. And even then, it would be difficult to be able to find where every single one of her missing Pokemon had ended up, if they would be able to find them for sure… His face softened as she added that she just wished she knew for sure. ”Yeah, I guess you’re right… Still, hopefully we’ll be able to find at least some clues, if nothing else. Only problem is that I’m not even sure of where to start looking, especially if they could be anywhere or any time,” he said, worrying at his lower lip as his brows furrowed in thought, ”I suppose if all else fails, we just continue on our journey like normal and maybe something might turn up. I doubt you’d want to spend hours just searching the entirety of Ilex Forest.”
At the mention of offering a prayer to the deity of time at the shrine along the way, Aiden couldn’t help but agree. After all, it was only fair to pay respect in return, especially since Celebi could have been put at a lot of risk to send them forward in time and save them. Still, he couldn’t help but wonder why Celebi had chosen to save them of all people… though surely there must have been some good reason for it if it had been willing to do something like that for their sakes. Though why exactly, he couldn’t think of what it could be… as far as he was concerned only Celebi knew the real reason behind it. Casting a sideways glance towards Natalia, he could see the hint of skepticism in her eyes, though she agreed that they stop by the shrine before they headed for Goldenrod. ”It shouldn’t be too far from where we are right now, it’s mostly a matter of navigating through all the trees to find it,” he suggested, wondering what they could possibly offer to thank Celebi for its aid.
While Natalia put away her art supplies, Aiden sent Mogwai out to join the picnic, feeling that since the Bewear had only recently joined them he probably would be the only one feeling hungry. Still, something seemed rather off and a bit awkward overall, though Aiden tried to divert it a little by offering a small helping of food for the Bewear, who was rather hesitant to eat himself. Mogwai seemed to happily accept the small portion as he dug in, looking like he was feeling a fair bit better after he had finished though he didn’t make any move to reach for more food. Given that he was probably deliberately starved while in Void’s custody, it definitely wouldn’t be too good for the Bewear to suddenly start eating mountains of food when his body wouldn’t be able to process all of it. They would have to gradually work up to it, give him small amounts to start with and increase them little by little until he could eat as much as he needed to by himself. It would take quite a bit of time, but it would be necessary to help him recover fully in the long run.
With Mogwai set for now, Aiden glanced to Natalia and asked if she was feeling alright. He couldn’t help but feel that something was a bit off, and he wondered if maybe the time warp had affected her more than she was letting on… Given that this had been their first, and hopefully the only, time that they had time traveled, there was no telling how else it could have affected them. Aiden himself hadn’t really felt any different aside from the lead weight-like feeling he had experienced when he’d woken up, and he hadn’t looked any different from what he had seen of himself in the mirror when he’d been freshening up… All of his memories were still intact, at least aside from a few here and there from before the time warp had happened. Of course, he wouldn’t expect Natalia to outright say anything if she probably had been affected by the time warp in a more extreme way… though he could tell something was off just by observations of her body language. She seemed a bit more spacey than usual, as it took a moment for her to realize he was addressing her and answer his query. He hummed softly as she said that she was feeling alright, and that she felt a little out of it. Aiden offered a small smile and nodded in assurance, though he couldn’t help but still feel those lingering prickles of doubt as he noticed how she shuddered when Thalia came closer to her. The Sylveon, however, seemed to know what she was doing as she gently wrapped one of her ribbons around the girl’s hand, nuzzling gently against her and speaking calmly and soothingly to her. Slowly, Natalia seemed to visibly relax, soothed by the calming aura the Sylveo emitted as she picked up the little Fairy-type and held her close as if she were a child’s long lost plush toy. Thalia closed her eyes softly, nuzzling against Natalia all the while and gently licking her cheek.”Is okay… Fey…”she whispered gently, content to let Natalia hold her while she relaxed and feeling quite a bit relieved that she was feeling a bit better.
The Sylveon was a bit disappointed when she was set back down, but didn’t object to it since Natalia needed to be able to get up. Aiden nodded in agreement at her suggestion to start heading onwards before it gets dark, standing up as well. ”Yeah, probably for the best to not stick around, unless you’d prefer to camp out here in the woods,” he chipped in, offering a small smile at the joking remark to help relieve any remaining tension in the atmosphere as he picked up the jacket he’d been using as a makeshift picnic blanket, brushing off a bit of the loose dirt and grass before putting it back on. As tempting as it was to maybe stay a little longer to keep training, Aiden felt that they could save it for now. A forest was hardly any place to be at night, and the fact that Void’s presence was still lingering somewhat here in Ilex was a huge bright red warning sign as far as he was concerned. Seeming to sense Aiden’s unease, Mogwai moved closer towards his new trainer, wrapping an arm gently but protectively around him.”Iiisss oookaaayyy, Aaaiiideeeennn… Mooogwaaaiii prrroooteeect frrrieeendsss frrrrooom mooonnnssteeerrsss,”the Bewear assured in his deep, rumbly, droning voice. The blonde-haired boy smiled softly as he patted the bear’s arm in thanks. As they began making their way together through the forest, Natalia brought up the question of how someone prays at a shrine as she hadn’t done something like that before. Aiden nodded in agreement as Nyomii said that one would typically light incense and make an offering, though they would probably have to find more creative ways to do so.”If you have any food or perhaps a little trinket or two that maybe you could do to part with, I’m sure that would be a relatively suitable offering~ Although, maybe there are other, less traditional types of offerings that might be accepted as well,”Aria spoke up, humming softly as she tapped a finger against her muzzle in thought. ”I did pick up some incense earlier, but I don’t think it’s necessarily the kind you’d light for praying at a shrine,” Aiden chipped in with a soft chuckle, remembering the Lax Incense he had found while training, ”Still… I think I might have an alternative or two in mind since it seems we’ll have to improvise regardless.”✦ ✦
