Welcome to Gaia! ::

Perpendicular to the first occupied stage, Claramay was practicing herself. It's not as though she truly needed to practice, her sideways duty to be a coordinator was only for her guise Mrs. Pearls. Nevertheless, it kept her busy and offered more entertainment than a man who only seemed to make company for his base. Mira glanced up her turquoise eyes to her, tugging at her ear ribbons as she remained unsure. Why was her owner making her do this over and over again?

"Alright, Mira, as we practiced before." Claramay smiled. "Light Screen!"

The Pika hummed a worried chagrin than did as she was told. She waved her little paws rapidly as a thick screen of pale yellow formed, followed by another, and another until she formed a crystalline star (she saw it more as a prison) around herself.

"Flash!"

The star suddenly shined brightly, illuminating the dimly lit stage as if a brave soul reached into the heavens and pulled Sol down to shine upon the stage. The electric rodent held her brow and eyes taut, concentrating to keep the light sparkling. Unfortunately, her strength wavered and the light flickered.

"Uh, Brick Break!"

Finally! The Pikachu punched a closed fit upwards and broke through the top of the star as it shattered beneath her. She pirouetted like a yellow torpedo upwards, shaking shatters of false sparkles from her body as the Light Screen's existence began to fade.

"Alright, end it with a Thunderbolt!"

Squeeeeezing her eyes shut again, an electric current ripped from her body and through the air with a stiff cackle. The remaining chucks of Light Screen shattered under the wave of electricity and mirrored the overhead lights, sparkling like orange fireflies as Mira fell with a tired thump to the stage floor.

"G'job." Claramay said and patted Pikachu's head. Mira accepted the praise, but could care less about it. She wanted to stop. "Take a rest now. I'll be beginning with Algenubi next."

Had Thor's hammer lightly tapped her forehead, Claramay's thin, outer shell would have shattered to reveal the impertinent woman huffing on the inside. She did not like to be bothered, not at all, and the appearance of the other certainly tied her intestines up into a twisted knot. However, on the outside, she returned the man a mundane smile.

"It is quite alright," Claramay's warm voice echoed towards the man. "I was actually going to take a break, haha, so your interjection is fine."

Claramay pulled a ball from her side pocket and threw it up to the air, releasing her Pidgeot. Her first Pokemon made a wide arc upon being freed from the capsule and fluttered down next to her. It gave her a narrow stare than puffed up at the sight of the Gregory. What? Was she making passes at another male human again?

"Al," Claramay smiled and rubbed the Pidgeot's chin. It was an uncommon gesture and only done when his owner was nervous, annoyed, or a thick mixture of the two. "It's your turn."

Mira squeaked at the ghost and suddenly scuttled away, tugging at her ear ribbons. Though she was being praised, the Pokemon certainly had caught her off guard. "" she said as both paws twiddled the ribbon ends on her right ear.

Claramay chuckled beneath her breath. "Oh, you're a breeder?" she inquired with convincing interest. "My daughter's a breeder, albeit a beginner. Thank you, by the way, though Al takes care of himself most of the time, heh."

The Pidgeot puffed up. At least she was telling the truth. Somewhat. When did she ever have a daughter? The large avifauna took a step forward and poked his beak in the breeder's face, squinting at the human male with undecided thoughts. He didn't know whether to like the fella for the compliments or brush them off as simple flattery in an attempt to be friends. Algenubi certainly knew never to trust a face after a few lines. If Cetus didn't have the honor of being his original trainer, he would have flew off to the winds long ago.

"By the way, I'm Julie Buchanan, it's nice to meet you." Claramay lied.

"I used Flash?>" Mira replied behind her paws.

Claramay nodded her head and returned the greeting in full. He sounded like your typical Joe Bob.

"Cloyster," The answer came only on a whim because the bivalve Pokemon were her favorite. "Some other water types too, but mostly Cloyster." Claramay -- or rather Julie -- reached a hand up and tugged at her large bird's wing in a silent, Stand off, he's not a threat or to eat. The older woman offered than offered the man a twisted up brow in puzzlement. "Really?" she asked. "Why Zatao to pursue Pidgeys and their evolutions? Wouldn't you have much luck in Kanto, or Johto? They're far, but they'd be better places to sell offspring to other farther regions like Unova where they're rare."

Mira perked up with sudden astonishment. Changeable? "p-p-p-painful!>" she suddenly whirled out.
