Pokemon United

Titania would hug Lagi and briefly pet his head before returning him to his pokeball. Then after getting Chris's agreement about handling the trainers, she would head back inside the pokemon center with Oberon. Once inside, she would notice that nurse Joy was up and about. "Did you have a good rest? Chris and myself ended up helping a young boy who lost the money he needed to buy food for his mom in a pokemon battle. Chris went out to win it back and did, however the two trainers she battled ended up following her back. So we ended up having a team battle with them outside the pokemon center and just won again. Sorry for not waking you, but I just wanted to get them out of here before they potentially trashed the center."

After she finished explaining what happen, she would hold out Zephyr's and Lagi's pokeballs before asking. "Mind healing them for me? They were hurt during that team battle I mentioned."

Then while she waited to get her pokemon ball, she took out Rufflet's ball and looked at it. Now that the pokemon center was better off, she needed to meet up with Beritto so he could ferry her to those scientists Chris had told her about. "Don't worry little guy, I'll get you the help you need. I promise." She whispered softly.

Nurse Joy held up her hands slowly, "Woah, not all at once." Shaking her head, she took the trainer's pokemon balls and placed them in the machine, pressing buttons along the screen of her computer, "Something is always happening in this small town. It amazes me." After a few beeps, Nurse Joy set her hand upon her cheek, "I did have a wonderful sleep, thank you."

Returning the pokemon back to Titania, Nurse Joy yawns, "Here you are. Good as new. Come back anytime." Meanwhile, Chris returned inside and placed her Vaporeon onto the counter, wiping away a bit of sweat, "Okay! Everything is settled. And..." Chris pulls out tickets, "We have two free tickets to some sort of arena." Offering one to Titania, "But, maybe when we come back."

At Joy's comment about something always going on in the town, Titania would reply with."I'm used to having a pretty eventful life myself, first by working on a pokemon reserve and now by being a trainer. However at least you never have to be worried about being bored right Oberon?" At this, Obereon would seem to agree with his mistress by nodding his head and crying out his name.

Titania would then smile to hear that Nurse Joy had a good nap and would then take her for healing her pokemon before taking them back. Just then Chris came back in revealing that everything was settled and that they had won some free tickets to some kind of arena. "That sounds great, but it will have to wait until after we talk to those people you spoke of. I really want ro find out what is wrong with Rufflet so I can help it after all. If you like, once we are out of town, I can show you him, but we would have to recall Oberon and Kitty since Nurse joy said it could be contagious."

Oberon didn't look too thrilled at this since he much preferred being at Titania's side rather then in his pokeball.

Chris gave a nod, then smiled nervously, "Oh, that's fine. I don't want to risk Kitty's health." She gave a few more convincing nods and then collected her Vaporeon in her arms, holding him from underneath, "Didn't he say something about the shoreline? Shouldn't be too far away." Releasing her squirming Kitty to the floor, she rolls the sleeves of her hoody up, "I'm ready. Let's go!"

Once outside, Chris put her hood up as the evening fog rolled in. The gossipers that enjoyed sitting outside the shop watched the duo leave, their suspicious stares trailing the two. The shore consisted of tied-down fishing boats, a fresh layer of litter, and the large steamer settled along the dock. Chris points to it, "That must be it." Sure enough, Beritto could be seen checking over the boat and walking around it. Once he finally noticed the two, as they approached the dock, he waved and hollered out, "Oh there you are! Welcome aboard!"

Along the ship's side, it read S.S. Souffle.

((Would like to point out that she did mentioning recalling Kitty and Oberon so they wouldn't be exposed. She doesn't know that Kitty doesn't have a pokeball after all.))

Titania would nod at Chris's refusal and say. "I understand and that's why he's the only pokemon I haven't let out of his pokeball yet. I don't want Oberon to catch it either after all, though sometime I'll have to recall him so that Rufflet can get some exercise. I'll wait until I'm alone though.

She would then agree with the older trainer about Beritto mentioning the shoreline and then follow her out the door. Once outside, she would simply ignore the gossiper's stares and instead would accept the offered "ribbon" from Obereon, much to the eeveelution's delight.

Not too long after, the group would see Beritto and his ship, the S.S. Souffle.
At this Titania would call out with. "Good to see you Berrito! We finished our errand so we are ready to set sail." With that she would head aboard and patiently wait for the ferrymaster to finish checking out the boat.

((Chris is aware, she dodged with an appropriate answer.))

Chris gave a single nod, grabbing the railing of the ship and staring out at the water rolling in, "That's fine. I think I'll try to find some Pokemon on the island while you visit the scientists. That stuff isn't very interesting to me." Technology is confusing.

Berrito came around the corner with his loud voice, "That's good to hear! Then let's set sail!" He tugged on the boat's horn cord and blasted the air with two beats of a fog horn. The ship's engine whirred to life and soon the boat was on its way.

The water was calm for the most part, but it was choppy further away from shore. Big waves rolled against the ship, but Berrito was confident to pull up a chair and a fishing pole, untangling it. Chris and Kitty watched the water, braced against the railing. The wind started to pick up, so Chris secured her hoody's hood.

A few extra fishing poles were lined up in the cabinet that Berrito left somewhat open. The metal clanged together, as the cabinet opened and closed with the wind.

Chris ran around the tug boat with Kitty and spent some time basking in the sun with her other water Pokemon. Her magikarp flopped wildly nearby, excited to roll about, but a few times, Chris had to stop her from flopping overboard.

Chris spends her training hour on the boat, with the three Pokemon watching her wild explanation of strange exercises. Each of her Pokemon gain 7+5 experience due to her novice commands. She also has her Pokemon perform a few feats of agility and applies her Agility Training.

The boat slowly pulled into the pristine docks of Flossy Town. Chris recalled her other two Pokemon and jumped off of the boat (fairly literally) and landed in the sand below. Beritto had to lay the boarding plank down and waddle over its creaking wood, "Aye lassies! Welcome to Flossy Town!" The town was the cleanest town that either trainer had ever seen, but to some, it was already home.

“I’d love to!” Nicole beamed, her usual cheerful personality bubbling to the surface.

Finally! She’d gotten bored to tears laying low in Flossy Town. She snatched up the Pokédex and dumped it into her black leather purse. It wasn’t uncommon for an all hands on deck call for operatives this far out. She had to wonder though why her Kalos mission was put on hold to send on a simple find and fetch. Unless this was a Mewtwo level event!?

Nicole stilled her rising excitement and went into professional mode. “What am I after and how dangerous are they?” Before her question could be answered she glanced back at the new arrival.

Titania would arrive at the island after a fairly pleasant voyage on Beritto's ship. She had spent the time on the journey training her pokemon and letting them enjoy the fresh air. Once the ship hit the docks however, she would recall all of her pokemon except for Oberon of course.

Speaking of the Sylveon, he had his front paws over the railing, taking an excited look at Flossy Town. However the second Titania called his name, he would bound over to her happily before wrapping one of his feelers around her wrist as they disembarked. "Thank you for bringing us here Beritto, I'm extremely grateful." Titania would tell him before turning to look back at Flossy Town.

After looking at the new town for a moment, she would turn her attention to Chris. "Mind if we stop at the Pokemart first? I'd like to get this voucher redeemed and stock up on pokeballs. I'm nearly out and I want to be well stocked should I find something I want to catch."

((If it would be possible to keep Rufflet a decent distance from Kitty, then she will try to train him too. If not, she will keep him in his pokeball. Also she will apply Focused Training to her pokemon.))

Chris and Kitty were relaxing and fishing for a few hours, so there was a possibility to have the Rufflet out. However, just as Titania was attempting to train it, the Rufflet started to act out in aggressive motions, trying to peck and scrape its talons into Titania's other Pokemon. It was a very short exercise if Titania didn't want to endanger her other Pokemon.

((Pokemon gain half their level in experience, rounded down, during Training Exercises.))

Beritto laughed, hand upon his wobbling belly as he spoke, "Don't worry about it! Always glad to lend a helping hand!" He laughs some more, before soaking up some sweat from his face with his handkerchief, "If you need more of my help, I'll be staying at the Rockfell Inn in town." He wobbled off, likely going to stop by the restaurants in town to eat.

Chris was breathing in the sea scents, letting the waves roll into her sandals. Kitty was scratching his back against a seashell. Chris glanced over to Titania as she approached, "Hmm? Oh sure. I could use a pokeball or two." As they were walking towards the Pokemart, Titania's Pokedex updated, showing a deposit from her family, and a note that detailed how much they missed her already.

Once at the store, which was spotless, Chris purchased what she needed, browsing the shelves for quite some time.

Titania would smile when Chris agreed to go shopping with her and the two of them promptly started looking for a pokemart. On the way, Titania's pokedex would update with a deposit and a note from her grandfather saying how much he missed her. It was a nice surprise, though a tad bittersweet. She still felt a bit guilty for leaving him, but he had insisted that she had put her plans on hold long enough.

Soon they would arrive at the pokemart and once there, Titania would go straight to the pokeball selection. She would select seven great balls and while purchasing them, would make sure to use the voucher that nurse Joy had given her.

Afterwards she would head to a different shop where she would buy herself a sleeping bag. As she shopped, Oberon would be a perfect gentleman, being silent and careful of the shelves. Once Titania had finished, she would locate Chris and ask. "Ready to look for the laboratory?"

“Whalerdrake hmmmm?”

Nicole took the device and studied the information on the screen. She felt a small twinge of anger bubbling up. Some trainer came along and just blew right through a bunch of grunts. It bothered her. Grunts these days were too damn weak, they made a bad name for the Team in general. It was a blazen insult to the good operatives.

She put the Pokédex in her purse. “I’ll send you a report the second I have a lead.” She turned to walk toward the door. “Oh and Professor? You see those grunts that lost the Shadow Stone? Let them know the boss will here about their failure.” She smiled brightly and waved. “Toodles!”

Titania and Oberon would follow close behind Chris as they left the shops. As they walked, a few people would give Oberon a second look due to his highly unusual coloration, though luckily no one would actually approach them. During the few last years, a couple of people had attempted to buy him off her, but she had always flatly turned them down.

Eventually when they hit Park Way, Chris would suggest taking a shortcut through the treeline. At this Titania would reply with. "Sure, maybe we will even encounter some interesting pokemon along the way. Though as for camping gear, I only have a sleeping bag as I couldn't afford a two person tent. I could have gotten a single person tent, but it would be pretty crummy to sleep in that while you had to sleep outside. So we will both just have to rough it outside I guess. Maybe later we can afford some tents if we win a battle or two."

((Modified my previous post to include the purchase of a sleeping bag instead of the knife.))

Hour 2/8

Chris laughed a little, "You don't have to worry about me! I find all the good places to sleep. As for Pokemon.." She pushes a bush with her leg and steps past it, lifting branches so she could pass under them, "We can probably spend some time in the woods and find a few."

As the two trainers meandered through the woods, they came upon one of the Pokefeeders. These cricket-like Pokemon were fighting over it, the two Kricketunes trying to cut at one another, while a pink Pokemon with a large white nose watched the two. Chris hunched down in the tall grass, glancing between the wild Pokemon, "What...even are they?"

The Spritzee turned its attention to the trainers and let out a peeping sound. The Kricketunes stopped fighting, angrily turning towards Chris and Titania.

(omg I forgot to put blast in here! Lol sorry for not responding at all.)

Titania would laugh at Chris's claim that she found all the good places to sleep. In fact even Oberon looked rather amused by this as well as he laughed a little too. After she finished laughing, she would reply with. "Well be sure to share those spots with me then. Anyway the woods would probably be a good place to look for new pokemon and we will have to spend some time walking through it anyway."

Not long after they would end up encountering two Kricketunes and a Spritzee. Now while the obviously bug type pokemon held no interest to her, she was curious about the pink one. She just had to try to remember what pokemon it was and hopefully it would have a useful typing for her.

However it seemed that the two Kricketunes had noticed them and didn't see happy about it. At this Titania would attempt to use the skills she obtained while working at the Nirvana Reserve to calm them. Getting down on her knees to look less intimidating, she would start to speak to them in a calm soothing voice. "It's ok, you two, I'm not going to hurt you.We are just traveling through the forest."

Chris was fine with meandering through the woods and perhaps they could even camp in it. But she was currently squaring off with the two bug Pokemon, Kitty in front of her. But the Kricketunes eyed Titania, making clicking noises. They slowly lowered their pincers, turning their heads, seeming to be content in watching the trainers. Eventually, they parted to the sides.

Chris looked between the two, then towards Titania, "How, how did you do that? That was amazing!" She smiled, then scratched Kitty's back, as he hiked up his rump into the touch. Kitty relaxed as well.

The Spritzee was a Fairy type and looked fairly young. Chris plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and put it to her lips, "Hey, watch this." She blew a tune through it, a soft lullaby, and the Spritzee slowly closed its eyes. It began to slumber in its tree.

*a young girl walks through the woods scared,she holds her pokemon,litten close* i hope there is a pokemon center close by

Chris shifted her attention to the young traveler that breached the forest line. The Kricketunes also noticed, but gave the humans room, stepping back. Chris took a few steps towards the young girl, kneeling down and checking over the Litten, "Hey there...are you lost? Is your Pokemon hurt?"
