Nate was walking along the bath to Tosach Town. He had already spent two nights and had almost made it back to the town. Mostly seeing Starly and Sentret along the way until he was surprised to see something different. A boy not far off from town with a cydinquil. Nate was normally a calm man but now he couldn't contain his anger at who ever let this brat out of town on his own. Sure the pokemon out here weren't very dangerous but that didn't matter. What mattered were the dangers. If he was native here he'd be better equipped than he currently was. He motioned for his ampharos to grab the boy. As such he grabbed his pokemon. "I don't know how you got outside on your own kid but you won't be going any further." He had been appointed as a guide and there was more than one kid he was supposed to be leading. As such, he marched the boy and his pokemon back to town. The had had food in his mouth the moment he walked up to him and couldn't voice any complaints right away. After Nate got back to town he handed the boy his pokemon back. "Kid I know you're looking forward to doing things on your own but it's highly recommended that you travel in a group didn't you read the sign?" He pointed at the sign that basically showed almost exactly what he had just told the boy. "Any questions? No? Good." He said quickly not letting the brat answer him properly. "My name is Nate Chur a pokeball crafter and guide for the Citra region. I'm sure I'm here to guide you new trainer." He said with anger in his voice. He couldn't help it he was pissed. This kid was just doing whatever he wanted.
Where am I now?: Route 60⇁ Tosach Town Who am I with?: This brat. How am I feeling?: Very very mad.

Cody and Cyndaquil were soon interrupted with their meal by that Nate Chur guy, the guide who he thought was going to be in the next town. The boy sure acts hastily without a care in the world, eager to catch up with his rival. His face was stuffed and wasn't able to respond right away and can't say he cares for his attitude.
Not only was his Cyndaquil confiscated, but he was dragged back to Tosach Town when it took him some time to make it that far, setting him back further from his goal. Cody couldn't help but wave his arms making Nate look like a child abductor. He assumed being in a group meant he had to be with his Pokemon, but that isn't the case for the Citra region where that rule doesn't apply to other regions. He had done more playing with his partner Pokemon than reading up on the orientation. He scowls as he's being lectured, and all he hears Nate is babble like "nehnehnehnehneh!" He put Cyndaquil's ball back into his pocket. The only reason he cooperated was to try and get him off his back.
In spite of being prepared, Nate felt Cody needed to be babied by a companion. He had to travel in a group with one cute girl who seemed a bit disciplined enough to arrive in Tosach via parental escort.

Alicia had spent the last month with her Ralts getting acquainted before she can open to the trainer. Ralts can still be pretty cheeky, but adapted to a life style with Alicia and became loyal. Once the girl was ready to start her Pokemon adventure, her mother took some time out of her busy schedule to drive her to Tosach Town where she was supposed to meet Nate Chur for orientation as stated, she has to be in a group since she had just started out and her skills for commanding in battle was shaky. When Alicia borrowed Machoke to help catch her first Pokemon partner, Machoke was in bad shape after catching Ralts meaning she has a lot to learn about raising Pokemon and battling other than grand standing. It will do her some good to learn from other trainers and see how they handle their Pokemon.
When they arrived in Tosach Town border, Alicia got out of the car and pulled her pink travel bag out of the trunk. The mother had gotten out of the car to wish her daughter luck with a hug and a kiss, wishing her father could have been there to see her off. After Alicia saw her mother drive off, she takes out her phone and pulls up the Town Map app and narrows down her search to where she was supposed to meet Nate Chur--the Citra guide. She found the location, but no one there for the moment. She later saw a boy with slightly big ears being man handled by some guy who she thought at first was a child abductor, but changed her mind thinking he may be the guide once she saw the boy get chewed out. It makes her feel better that there is another raiser of Pokemon that has as much flaws as she does so she doesn't have to feel like having an inferiority complex. She was a bit intimidated as she approached the man and had asked if he was Nate Chur?

Odd eyes glanced briefly over towards the retreating pinkette. The Gym leader didn’t have such ill will that he wished any harm on her, rather he had no strong feelings. He wasn’t silently wishing her luck on her journey either. Caius’s attention was soon turned back towards Ryouta and Himeko, if she had not already drifted away as well. The young boy was asking if the nidoran which had followed them from the route could come along to get dinner. ”Ceon?” Azul stood from her spot sitting by Caius’s feet, approaching the nidoran slowly to sniff at the air, curious if the other pokemon was hoping to be Ryouta’s pokemon. ”Are you going to take responsibility for that Pokemon? Should it become injured or injure another?” The gym leader asked in his cold, polite tone, straightening his tie clip as he looked down at the boy with what was probably now a familiar gentlemanly smile.
”If so, isn’t there something you should do?”
If Ryouta simply didn’t understand what the man was saying, Caius would pull out one of the pokeballs from his belt, returning Klauw who was looking sleepy since he’d been up most of the night and then day that whole adventure though the day. Perhaps that would give Ryouta an idea? If that still didn’t do it, Caius would alas just tell the boy that if a trainer was going to take responsibility for a pokemon, he should capture it, and if he wasn’t going to take responsibility, he should not be taking a wild pokemon into an unfamiliar environment half-hazardly.
However this was resolved, Caius would treat whomever had stayed to a rather substantial and warm meal, enjoying some of his favorite rose tea and eating with nothing less than perfect manners. When the meal was done, Caius would settled his gaze on whatever children were left, Ryouta and Himeko, or one or the other, providing:
”Perhaps you both should go meet some of the other trainers? Most must be in town by now.”
Personally, he was going to make the rounds to some local stores. The mines here could bring the earth more than just coal, and if there was any rare and particularly lovely offerings, Caius was rather interested in such. He did have an expensive taste.
Waving away the children after being sure they each had the capability of getting themselves a place to stay for the night, Caius left them with contact information so they could contact or find him again if he stayed in town as long as they did and they wished to have him as a guide once more.
As he walked away, it occurred to Caius that he still had Chespin... Hmm, now just where would that Pokemon find a home? He'd be sure to take care of it for the time being.

Celica Ambersxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
How's about we go on an adventure, you and me?xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxJust don't be an obstacle and we'll be okay.
Having hit Gray with the assumption that she didn't like Celica, the blonde was surprised that Gray didn't outright agree or say nothing as was the norm with her. She mustered up a "Wait, you don't dislike me?" with a look of genuine confusion on her face. Slowly it turned into an expression of embarrassment as Celica placed her hand on her forehead and looked down, deep in thought. "Well you certainly knocked the wind out of my sails just now, good job kiddo." she said before resuming her walk towards Beocht Town. Gesturing for Gray to follow her, Celica exclaimed "C'mon, we can talk on the way to town. But in exchange you gotta open up as well. I don't need your life story but give me something, will ya?" as she began her stroll down the path. With Fulgur bringing up the rear of the pack, the three trainer group turned two were finally making progress on the last leg of their journey to Beocht Town. After a few minutes of silence, Celica, without turning back to speak to Gray directly, chimed up and said "Reason I assumed you don't like me is because most folks don't, which is fine, I'm used to it. You're also not very talkative. Maybe you're just a quiet kid, I dunno. I wasn't that quiet of a kid so I don't get it." With a brief pause and a deep breath, Celica felt she might be opening up a little too much, especially considering she herself shut out the leader of the group when Roxie asked about Celica's story. Nevertheless, she continued with "Then again I didn't have much of a chance to be a kid anyways so...yeah."
Eventually, Beocht Town came into view, and before the two entered the town officially, Celica stuck her arm out to block Gray's path and broke the moment of peace with "Okay, your turn." before turning around and crossing her arms. The blonde was expecting Gray to hold up her end of the bargain she technically never agreed to. With a smirk on Celica's face, she said to Gray "Open up a little and then we can go into town. Better make it quick, it's getting late." This was true, the day was slowly ending and the two still needed to get situated for the night in Beocht Town. How they were going to do that, Celica didn't know. Maybe Gray had a plan, but first came the roadblock in the form of Celica interrogating Gray for any information. Almost as if she forgot, Celica quickly tacked on "Aaaand if you want, I can help you find a new traveling companion. If you don't, that's fine too. Either way we should probably find someone to fill in for Roxie. I don't know where the hell I'm going." while shrugging. While Celica didn't have any beef with Gray, and apparently Gray didn't have any with her either, the blonde still wanted to push the idea of finding someone new for Gray to travel with, or at least find a third person for the two of them to travel with. Celica wasn't familiar with Citra like she was Sinnoh, so no matter what Gray decided, outside help would be needed. One thought did linger in the back of Celica's mind throughout all of this, "Where the hell am I gonna sleep tonight?"
I'm here : Route 60 -> Beocht Town I'm with : Gray I'm feeling : Relieved that we're at our destination OoC : Posting out of order as agreed on by the group
Watching the pinkette leave as well, Ryouta was silent about it all. He had no right to get involved in whatever disagreement her and Odd-eyes had. Instead, his focus shifted to the moment at hand. Being asked if he planned on being responsible for the Pokemon, he had not the slightest idea what the man had meant for a moment. As the wild Pokemon ran in fear of the Glaceon, he looked down at the Pokemon that had clung onto the back of his leg anf was shaking in fear. Giving the man a small nod, he slightly agreed to taking responsibility for them.
He ultimately ended up missing where the man was getting at. Instead, he had peeled the Pokemon from his leg and held the horned Pokemon in his arms. As the man returned his Pokemon to their ball, the Nidoran seemed almost frightened by the sight of a Pokemon getting sucked in. Instead, he silently protested the notion of doing something that scared the young Pokemon. Shaking his head as the Pokemon looked at him, the Nidoran seemed almost relieved. "I wuldn't do it, 'fya don't," He whispered, petting the Poison type gently.
Joining the man with his partner and new friend at his side for dinner, he kept the Nidoran close. They seemed very skittish around people, but very gentle unlike the ones from before. Over dinner, Caius suggested that they try to meet up with other kids their own age, but Ryouta wasn't sure how that would go. It seemed people didn't take to kindly to him, but he could very well try.
Being dropped off at the Pokemon center, the newly formed trio were left to their own devices after Himeko left. Making his way inside, the place was more than welcoming. Getting Kenshi and the Nidoran checked out real quickly, it seemed they were both in good health after a bit. Receiving a key to stay in one of their many rooms, he found himself sharing space with a few other trainers for the night. Laying in the bed with Kenshi on the floor and the Nidoran beside him, a name crossed his mind. "Yer name...Ya like Gaidoku?" He asked the Nidoran, petting them still. Receiving a small chirping sound, he seemed to like it.
Morning rolling around finally, the young boy woke up with his face being pricked by the Nidoran's spines. Rolling over, he got up and was quick to go get ready for whatevet was next. A quick shower, brushing his teeth, and getting his clean clothes from the Pokemon Center's assistant Pokemon, he went out into the lobby. Spotting Kenshi sitting in front of the televsion, the Aron was watching an early morning show that played for the kids. Sitting down beside Kenshi, his sapphire blue eyes locked onto the screen as Gaidoku hopped over to them. With the Poison type in his lap, the trio seemed entraced currently.
It was a show about a man who drove around on a motorcycle and fought against bad people, with the help of his Heracross. Excited by the scenes at hand, the Aron and the boy both grew excited as the man had gotten into a fight with several trainers, while his Heracross fought off their Pokemon. It was then that the man suddenly transformed and was in a costume that kind of resembled a red Heracross! This Masked Trainer show was the absolute best! Gaidoku on the other hand, didn't quite get the appeal. The Nidoran was just happy to be included.
”Asta, I gotta say, despite all this dangerous environment here, it’s a rather beautiful place here in Citra.” Smiling as he spoke, Halston was finishing up his inspections when Asta inquired upon Soly to try and catch a Pokemon. ”Ah yes, I remember my first Pokemon catching exploit..” A hand reached up and patted the massive forearm of Gaius, who loomed beside him in rather stoic silence. Watching Asta instruct Zoro to keep an eye on the young trainer, Halston watched Zoro slink off before turning to Asta herself.
She dismounted her Dodrio with such ease, feeding the three heads in tune with one another despite their bickering. Halston found himself taking a deep breath, letting his nerves get the best of him for a moment. Despite the obstacles he’d crossed and overcame, there were still some Pokemon types he was rather uncomfortable around. Fighting and Fire Types being up there on the top of said list. The way she was just so… so natural in this element was nothing short of awe inspiring. ”It’s honestly really great to see you again Asta. I mean, aside from through a screen or anything like that.” she’d come over to ask how the equipment was, knowing the jest was in good humor. ”Yeah everything is in order. I told my colleague here in Citra I’d bring this equipment for his own workings while I was here on my expedition. It’s more or less his responsibility after we drop it off. I’d just like to make sure he gets it before any of it breaks.” He gave her rips a light nudge with his elbow, trying to play fun.
With her explanation of the rest of the trails being rougher than the one they just traversed, Halston offered a smirk of confidence. ”I’m well aware of the perils. Once we drop off this equipment I should be roarin’ to go if my lingo is correct. Been hitting the trails back in Unova before my departure once over in preparation.””Goooooo” Gaius’ voice traveled slightly with his billowing tone at this. ”Yes buddy, we both took a long hike the last few months getting ready. Gaius here has been so eager to get out of our country.” He patted the forearm again, keeping his position between Asta and Gaius still.
As her own body lightly leaned on his, Halston could feel the warmth rise to his cheeks. Looking out to the town in the distance, he shrugged his shoulders. ”Rumors and theories mention various Pokemon that avoid the public eye residing deep in the wilds here. Stories the legendary birds roaming the landscape itself are a common talk amongst my peers before leaving. However..” He looked to Asta at this point, the spark of enthusiasm rising within. ”I have this gut feeling if you will that something, some Pokemon, is just lurking just out of view that has yet to be found here. If it wills it, I’m sure we’ll encounter it, just like Sinnoh.” an arm found its way up and onto Asta’s opposite shoulder, giving her a slight rustle side squeeze closer to him. With her assistance, Halston would stop at nothing!
When Soly and her Vulpix returned, she seemed triumphant in her excursion. Halston, deciding to play along gave a mild applaud in claps. ”Bravissimo, you’ve caught a Pokemon. May they bring many joys to your adventures.” As they gathered together the equipment once more, Halston took his place atop the sled covered in equipment bags, harnessing up Gaius again to pull said sled. As they made their journey into Beocht town, they found the other new trainers and bid Solana and her Vulpix farewell. Perhaps they’d encounter each other again down the road. He directed his attention to Asta, indicating he needed to meet with his colleague at the hotel asap. With a B line to the hotel, Halston quickly found his associate who, despite living in Citra, was much like him; slightly scrawny, rather bookworm like in personality, and seemingly unfit to survive out here in the harsh wilds of Citra. They’d exchanged a few handshakes and small talk before Halston introduced Asta, giving a brief mention of how they were pen pals.
When the formalities were said and done, Halston parted ways with his colleague, turning to Asta. ”Alright Miss Guide Lady, I’ve accomplished what I needed done today. Where’s a good place to grab a bite to eat? Would be good to enjoy ourselves before the trip ahead.” As she made some propositions, Halston followed along with Asta, having Gaius return to his Pokeball. He’d feed his team later tonight for all the hard work they did for him. Getting a chance to sit down with Asta and just… talk in person was a once in a lifetime chance he didn’t want to pass up.
As they found a table to sit at, Halston waited until things and settled before making his proposal. ”So, there’s more to this trip than me simply stopping in to see you and do this expedition Asta.” His scholarly tone was settling in, a seriously stern yet calm vocal pronunciation filling in his words. ”I got funding to undergo this expedition for my research yes, but I’m also moving here to Citra.. Permanently. As such my expedition has provided me with the funds to make some executive decisions. I’ll eventually have to find a property to purchase or rent out, but the first and foremost important aspect I need is finding a full time guide.” Looking up to meet her eyes, Halston gave her his usual smirk. It had been a common occurrence during any of their video chats, but perhaps it was better in person? ”How would you feel about working for me, full time as both a guide and a personal cook? You know the countryside like the back of your hand, you clearly have a vast understanding of what perils to experience, and you’re one helluva chef.” Holding out a hand for a business style handshake, Halston stared into her eyes. ”So, what do you say, partner?”
With her acceptance to his business proposition, Halston’s face became alight with excitement. ”Wunderbar! I propose a toast! Do people buy drinks for everyone at places like this? If so, I’d like to buy a round of drinks for everyone!” He was speaking rather loudly at this point, getting a stare or two from other tables. Once one of the employees factored in his seriousness though, they began pouring drinks for the denizens there. Several cheered in response, others just accepted the drinks in silence. When their own drinks were provided Halston hoisted his aloft in the air, nearly spilling some as he stood from his seat. ”A toast to a new partnership!” Again, he got some stares from those around them, but a few cheers to whatever they were celebrating.
Nearly an hour later, and a hefty bill to pay to boot, Halston left with Asta to his own hotel room where he was going to stay for the night. ”I rented a room with two beds should you and your Pokemon want to stay with us Asta. I-If that’s not too forward that is.” His face gained a tint of redness, reflecting both his warm disposition from the cold temperatures and from his own nervousness settling in. That and a slight intoxication from drinks at dinner. Whichever decision she made Halston would retire to his hotel room and let his team out in the room. Gaius, being the hulking giant that he was, took a seat in the corner quietly, his hands resting on his own lap. b]”Luurrk” His billowing voice softer than usual since he was inside. As Onna was released, she quickly began to float about the room, inspecting nearly every inch of the room to see the new wonders here. It was all so fascinating to her! Mis! Misma!” The instant Ophelia was brought out of her Pokeball, she stood at near attention near Halston, a hand reaching out and grasping onto his pant leg. Her head turned to inspect the room slowly, analyzing everything here. ”Beehh….” in a soft tone, as if slightly nervous to be here.
A hand reached over and patted Ophelia’s head, calming her nerves. ”It’s alright girl, I know this will be a lot to get used to, but we are all here together.” Halston calmed his pokemon often like this, as they in turn often calmed his nerves. All except for one… ”Heeeeeops!” The high volume, high energy screech of Theros quickly filled the room as the little prehistoric Archeops basically leapt from his Pokeball the instant it left Halston’s hand. Hands immediately went to Halston’s ears at the loud piercing screech, quickly following Theros running about the room in a hasty fashion. ”Arche arche arche heops!” the little hyperactive Pokemon nearly was chanting as it ran amok in the room, hopping to and from the beds. With a rush to the now loose Pokemon Halston wrangled him back up and calmed Theros, eventually settling down on the bed with his Pokemon all hovering or sitting nearby.
From there, Halston, Asta, and their clusters of Pokemon chatted, hung out, and watched the night roll by until morning came. Halston was stirred awake in a hasty manner, an over energetic Theros hopping up and down on his stomach. Arch arch arche!” the happy Pokemon squawked, much to the dismay of the trainer trapped underneath the blankets. ”Oof! Oof! Alright alright Theros I’m up! Goodness gracious someone is excited for the daybreak.” Slowly sitting up and petting Theros, Halston was quick to venture into the bathroom for his morning routine, Theros following in suit like a happy puppy. There he showered, shaved, brushed and dressed himself before stepping out, handing out the morning rations to the other Pokemon before returning them to their Pokeballs. He was about to withdraw Theros who gave him those puppy dog like eyes, Halston shaking his head with a smirk. ”Alright buddy, you can stay out for now, but remember you gotta be brave if we get into any battles, alright?” With a nod of understanding, Halston would begin rounding up his gear. He and Asta were to set out soon today for the first of many expeditions.

After giving some tips to Kyouji, Seth had stepped back a bit giving the stage and room to the young trainer. In the end it was him that had to do it after all. All Seth could do was guide these two trainers and answer any questions they might have, like when preparing for a match. He stopped nearby enough to give more tips might Kyouji ask but otherwise he would keep it at what he had offered so far. Seth watched the fight and smiled a bit as he approved of how Kyouji and Piplup carried themselves. Somewhere along the battle Noct, too, came to have a closer look at the fight with their head tilted as he watched. The duo watched in interest as the ball drew the Ralts in and started to shake before finally settling and giving the sign of a successful catch.
Seth smiled happily as well as the others cheered, including Noct. "Yes! Well done Kyouji!" he complimented the boy as he walked closer again and clapped their shoulder much like a friend or older brother would. "You're first catch. I am sure you'll all make a great team." he spoke. And he meant it. Of course he, in his capacity as Guardian, would do his best to help them reached the heights they aimed for! The young man chuckled when Kyouji summoned the Ralts anew and it hid behind their trainer. "Don't worry Ralts, you will get used to us. My name is Seth and I guide your trainer." he said to the newcomer, introducing himself, and smiled gently before kneeling down and offering his hand if the Ralts felt brave enough. While sitting as such he would focus on his two protegees however, so the new pokemon could make her choice whether she would or wouldn't trust Seth to come sniff or something without them gawping at her.
That was also why he only introduced himself to Ralts. It would be better and probably easier on Ralts, if they each gave their own introduction. "Right so while we looked at the fight I saw on the news there has been a Rock Slide nearby so we can't travel much further for now. There are a few things we can do. Either we stay here and try to catch more pokemon or train some, or you two can challenge the first gym in Beocht Town. I also read there are performers in town right now so we could also go watch them sometime while here. We can keep camp here or find a room in town itself. Which do you two rather have?" he spoke as he looked at them both in turn while keeping his hand out for Ralts all the same. This journey was these young trainers' so Seth would adjust to their wishes unless he foresaw trouble or danger.

"Talent, Effort. They're meaningless before me. I will crush your hopes and dreams if you block my path. This isn't a game where everyone can win together. Only a few can make it to the top and I will be one of them."
Hikaru was annoyed as he kept running common types of pokemon. He knew some people would just jump to catch the first pokemon they see. However most starting trainers tend not to pay attention with things like movesets, team compositions, strategy, etc. As such this made some teams weak and vulnerable to certain move types and combos. Hikaru had a few ideas for his teams, as you can't just a team of six. This isn't a game where your pokemon can always just be healed in a few seconds. It often took time and medicine for them to get back to 100 percent. If you didn't have back ups. Long tournaments would often take one ore two of your pokemon for the rest of the tournament. This could put you in a heavy disadvantage or even knock you out of the tournament without a backups and additional teams. However before thinking about back ups and a second team. Hikaru had a few ideas with his first team. Though, the first problem is catching them. Which sadly Hikaru was having problems with. As nothing but common types kept popping up. When a starly appears. Hikaru annoyed and wanting to blow off some steam, decides to battle it. If he couldn't catch anything he would at least battle something. "Come on out Leo." Hikaru says as he threw Leo pokeball. Squirte pops out of the ball ready to battle.
"Leo, use water gun." Hikaru says which cause the water pokemon to immediately shoot out towards the flying type pokemon. Hitting the starly and knocking it to the ground. The starly gets back up and tackles Leo in retaliation. "Use Rapid Spin" Hikaru says for the second attack. As Leo jumps into the air and tucks himself into his shell and start to spin around rapidly hitting the flying type. Knocking it down again, this time the pokemon was down for the count. Though Hikaru wasn't up for a Starly at the moment as such he just let the pokemon go.
Hikaru felt a bit better after the battle. the frustration he was having went away during the battling, he was trying to avoid unnecessary battles so he wouldn't scare off any rare pokemon or attract trainers or a swarm of pokemon. Though he just need to take it out on something other than a tree. At least the pokemon could fight back. Plus it would give Leo a good warm up when they do find someone worth catching.
"I don't fight for justice, peace, or the good of the world. I simply fight for myself and my pokemon team So no matter what reason you have for being in my way, good or bad. I will beat you and all in my way to reach my goals."

Beck had started his journey well ahead of Cody. For the past month when he raised his Rufflet to battle, he would always best Cody's Cyndaquil. Both of them had raised their Pokemon nearly at the same time, but Cody got his partner Pokemon first. Cody wanted another shot at besting Beck, but he was long gone with a group that had left Tosach.
In route 60, he never paid any of the trainers he had traveled with any mind, just kept to himself not out of condescending or unfriendliness. He wasn't looking to make friends either, but focused on his goal to be the greatest. Rufflet was his best and only partner, so, he needed to build up his team. He heard about the potential Pokemon in the area like Rockruff and Nidoran. During the travel with the group, his encounters were no where close to fruitful. When he found a Sentret, he let out a sigh and thought something like that may help him gain some battle experience and help build a team, but he can't imagine using such a bland Pokemon even when evolved in the Pokemon League. "Rufflet, use Hone Claws!" shouted Beck as he clenched his right fist sending a synergy of aggressive to Rufflet. Rufflet had felt how his master felt and flapped his wings as his talons are glowing black light. Sentret zoned in and used Scratch to deal some damage. "Rufflet, retaliate with Fury Attack. With the attack and accuracy boost from Hone Claws, it reinforced the his assault, leaving no room for the Scout Pokemon to dodge. It was like getting jabbed by daggers with no room to evade. Beck drew out an empty Pokeball, and fast throw at his target. Sentret was taking quite a bit of damage and had no room to put his guard up and was hit by the ball. The Pokeball opens up and in goes Sentret. The ball wiggles around until it stopped moving confirming Sentret was caught. Beck collected the ball and checked the stats of his recent catch with the app on his Roto-Phone. Stats are: Low level, moves are Scratch and Foresight, IVs are less than decent, and ability is Run Away. It was a waste of effort, but he kept him as back up to battle in place of Rufflet if he needed a rest.
Later on, the next encounter was Starly. Once more, Beck has sent out his Rufflet. He alternates his strategy by testing out Scary Face. Normally, that would reduce the Pokemon's speed out of fear, but it scared the poor Starly out of it's wits that it made a break for it by flying away. He wasn't expecting that. It didn't stop him from trying again, but he can't linger in the same area alone, he must keep up with his group. That next encounter of his Starly may be his last for Route 60, so, he wasn't going to mess up the encounter. His start of the journey wasn't going as well as he hoped. He had his Rufflet fight Starly with Peck and Starly fought back with Tackle and use Quick Attack to take him by surprise. Beck was already happy with Rufflet being his go-to Flying Pokemon, but Starly might make a decent trade barter if trained well for those that want a Starly. He admits that Starly is giving Rufflet a bit of a challenge. "Terrorize it with Scary Face!" shouted Beck, enabling Rufflet to frighten the wild Starly. That scare broke down the Starling Pokemon's momentum, leaving her open for Beck to throw another Pokeball at her. She struggled harder than Sentret when trying to get out of the ball, but was soon caught. Beck walks up to collect the ball containing the Starly and checked the stats. Moves are Growl, Tackle, and Quick Attack, decent IVs, ability is Keen Eye, level isn't much greater than Sentret, but it's a start.
When Beck arrived in Beocht with the group, he wasn't satisfied with his encounters. For starters, he needed to go and get his Pokemon healed. He enters the Pokemon Center and had to wait his turn to reach the counter to talk to the nurse about healing his team of three. He hands her his Pokeballs, leaving them in the Pokemon Center's care and had to wait until they are all healed. He pondered for a while on how will he go about building his team? He hasn't attempted to be friendly with the trainers he traveled, so, he was willing to swallow his pride and ask someone in the group if they can go with him back to Route 60. By the time he got the notification on his phone that his Pokemon are all healed, the sun was setting.
In that time skip, he had a meal and so did his Pokemon, had them recalled after to be dormant in their balls to rest so he can rest in one of the beds in the Pokemon Center. The next morning when he and his team had a meal, he wasn't sure how he was going to ask one of the trainers to tag along with him before the rest of group moves on. If Cody catches up to him, that means he lost too much time, and that day may be his last chance to catch the necessary Pokemon for his team while they are still within reach.

Preston smirked at Hayate's question, looking like he was trying to remember. "First boat I saw...?" He shrugged and gently tugged Scrap by his scarf back in front of him as he walked beside Usui. "Yes I know you're hungry and I know those rolls smell amazing. Let's find something to eat after we check in. I'm with Kana for at least getting my Pokemon checked." Fortunately the PC wasn't too far away, but Preston had to shrug again to the kind mechanic, at least amicably. "I appreciate the offer Arys, it's cool though. The Pokemon Center should have at least one bed empty, but I fully expect to train with you tomorrow. You know this place, so you know the Gym." He had to admit it was decent of him to offer his place to three four strangers. The Hunters' grandmother would've loved him.
Preston didn't want to altogether split his group up just yet, partially because he thought they were cool and hoped they were just as cool with him, and partially because he wanted to see how good his team was at battling before really making a decision. He owed them at east that much in way of respect. But that didn't mean he didn't see a packling of the other trainers he had seen back in Tosach, making a not to see how many of them were decent as well.
Of course the Pokemon Center took quick care of his team as well as those of his group mates, as well as him and his group mates. Efficient as ever, and with a reasonably comfortable bed to boot; good to see this place wasn't quite as backwoods as one would think. Preston managed to get food for his Pokemon from the vending machines downstairs, running out to get dessert from the place Scrap had smelled earlier. Overall he'd call it a successful day.

Preston had managed to get a better sleep than he'd got on the trail to Beocht, and was ready to at least see where the Gym was before preparing for it. Did he think he was a decent trainer? No, but that was beside the point. Any noob would know that you'd have to train up at least a little bit to take on Gym Leader, even if it was the first one you'd meet. Route 60 appeared pretty stocked, as his encounter with his new tiny bird Pokemon. If he could work with Scrap a bit more, maybe he might have find an advantage on whatever type the Gym used.

Celica's reasoning on why she'd assumed Gray didn't like her made logical sense, it was probably easier to assume that others didn't have a fondness for you after so many others already expressed having a dislike for you. Frowning, the monochrome colored woman gently bit down onto her tongue from insulting her traveling partner. The two got somewhat along, so she shouldn't go attempting to ruin it now when she hopefully had someone she was willing to travel with who didn't get on her nerves. The asking for the fifteen year old to open up did cause her to roll her eyes, but at least the blonde woman wasn't like everything was rainbows and sunshine like their Guide had appeared.
It did feel like Celica was also trying to open up, just a little, as she told Gray that she wasn't a quiet kid, nor did she get to be a kid for long. Curious now, red orbs settled onto the older woman as they finally arrived just outside Beocht Town. It was a good thing they'd arrived too, as Gray wasn't sure if she wanted to deal with another cold night in a tent. Hopefully, Citra would get warmer the further in they went.
"Open up a little and then we can go into town. Better make it quick, it's getting late."
An arm was outstretched before her, blocking her off from entering the town just yet. Now, it could have been easy to simply move around the other woman and shut down any attempts at getting to know her more. But, Celica had let out a small part of herself, so the most Gray could do was to also share a small part of herself. Shoulders sagging in defeat, a small smile graced her face as she crossed her arms against her stomach. "My favorite Pokemon is Drifloon, and I've never been in a relationship."
Were these weird facts to state about herself, sure. But, Celica had asked her to open up and Gray was telling her information that only her parents knew.
Beocht Town would be a location Alpha would love, Gray was quick to figure out, as she saw the many Rockruff's that seemed to take up residency within the town. Seeing a small pair of pups fighting over a bone, she had to wonder if the canine's were owned by the townsfolk or if they were wild and just easily accepted to stay as long as they got along with the people. A question she could have asked Roxie if she was still with them, but she'd just have to ask another local of the town. Tucking her question aside for now, Gray and Celica seemed to have the same thought going through their heads. Where were they going to stay for the night?
"You'd think she would have at least told us if there was an inn or somewhere we could spend the night." She murmured, voice low, but loud enough to where she wanted Celica to hear her.
Timeskip
Rolling her shoulders back, the dual haired female sighed as she stepped out into the lobby of the Pokemon Center. Eventually, Gray had just decided the best place to seek out for the night was the familiar Pokemon Center. The cots they provided wasn't the best, leaving her back feeling sore, but she hasn't felt like searching the town up and down for somewhere else to stay for the night. Besides, here she could have a few of her Pokemon transferred back home and leave her with a half full party. It had been difficult to decide who to keep, but eventually she'd ended up sending Tater Tot, Lyllith, and Sunshine back to Forrimere.
Still.. She had to figure out a name for her newest companion, that ballsy Sentret who had challenged the small group. Accepting the pokeball from the cheerful Pokemon Nurse, Gray's thoughts paused when she spotted a familiar boy and his Aron seated in front of the television playing a program designated for children.
Slowly approaching, the woman wondered if she should interrupt to greet him, or just wait until the show finished. Honestly, she was just glad to see he had made it to this town, maybe someone who could understand him was able to get him all the way here? It was doubtful he would have came all this way on his own, as security made it clear it was dangerous traversing the region alone.
Stopping to stand next to him, the woman lowered herself down until she was seated on her knees.
Where: Beocht Town | With: Ryouta | Thoughts: I never understood the appeal of this show..
| Name - Kyouji Kuzunoha | Age - 10 | Job - Trainer | Suit - In picture | Money - ¥ 400 |

The Ralts that was just captured and would hide behind Kyoji as he would look behind him to see the small shy pokemon. It seems she was still nervous about Piplup. Makes sense, considereing the battle that took place. Funny enough, the Piplup showed his kindness to the little pokemon as she would nod in acknlowledgement. Did the prowd little piplup apologise to her? As soon as Seth came over to greet himself, Ralts was more nervous around him, before she looked up to see him. A slight blushed appeared on her face seeing Seth, and would meekly reach out her hand, and would take hold of his finger, before she would quickly put herself back into the pokeball. Kyouji laughed at the sight of the whole thing that happened. He was glad that he was able to make these new friends of his just off the first day. Don't Worry, we'll be great friends. right, Artemis? He said, naming the Ralts in his pokeball. It was strange. Why was it that Kyouji knew exactly what his new Raltz's name was? it was strange, but he was okay with it, since it was just him naming his pokemon, right? As Seth told them the situation, he wondered what there was to do. He'd like to catch more pokemon, but to wear out his pokemon would be pretty stupid. He did just realized that Pokemon were freinds and not murder machines anymore. Wait, A performance!? Awesome!! I so wanna go! He said, practically jumping. He always wanted to see a circus performance, so a festival in the next town? That was pretty great. Add that with the fact that the town has a gym to get his first badge is already a great deal. Only problem is, he has no idea how that's ran. He should definitely ask Seth about that. Also, no way we can go camping, if Peanut shocks us awake again. He said, while Piplup remembers that in his pokeball.
((Time skip))
Kyouji happily woke up in the bunk bed in Beocht town's Pokemon Center. The place always managed to have the most comfy beds there. Even Nurse Joy happen to be super nice. Taking his pokeballs, his backpack, and his essential items, he would stretch before waking up earlier than the others. Thanks for everything, Nurse Joy. If my friends come around, could you tell them I went off for a bit? Kyouji would tell the nurse as he left. Walking through the town streets, the place was actually very serene and peaceful. Regular folks going about their businesses, some trainers going about thier businesses too, even some pokemon casually lounging about or helping out in every day tasks. It actually reminded him of the pokemon that used to scare and intimidate him back in Golden Rod, back in Johto. Huh... Wonder what that tastes like... Kyouji would go over to a stand, and would buy four crepes that were being sold off in a small vendor. sitting somewhere after buying them, Kyouji would release his pokemon, as the group would begin eating happily. Whoa, this is great! You guys enjoying them? He asked, as the three pokemon simultaneously agreed.
The previous day was just, well, it was great~ How could Asta feel any other way about it? The way Halston spoke about finding some new legendary pokemon hiding among Citra’s brutal but beautiful snow swept landscapes reminded her so vividly of that feeling she’d been chasing ever since seeing Cresselia with him when they were kids. They were at a point in their lives where they could chase that experience, and the fiery red head was determined that she would certainly catch it!
After making sure Soly had been all set to go into town without them, the researcher and daredevil had made their way quickly to their meeting point. While Halston had signed over all the equipment to the other researcher, Asta had pulled out her notebook, crossing out her goal of getting Halston to the hotel on time and jotting down a few more things she wanted to accomplish short term. Thereafter she pulled out her other notebook for long term goals, crossing out meeting Halston in person again and adding in something there as well, smiling to herself as she put them away in time to be invited out to eat.
Claiming to know just the place to go, Asta took them to a restaurant she’d actually helped out at before and happened to have one of her recipes on the menu. It was when they’d settled in to eat that Halston let out the secret he’d been keeping for months not while they’d talked about him arriving to Citra for his research project. The truth was he was moving in for good. Bright amber eyes had widened at the news, leaning forward in her seat to listen to all he had to say as she swung her legs under the table a bit like an excited child.
”You’re a sneaky one~” The woman had puffed, wrinkling her nose at him and his damn smirk as she put her hand into his for a hearty handshake. ”I’ll be your partner for as long as your chasin’ this adventure!” An excited agreement for sure! The whole meal and drinks seemed excellent after that. It was a good night, Asta showing her ability to hold her drink and just how much food she could put down in true fashion to a seaside brat from Muir. There was a lot of boisterous laughing and excited talk of the places they’d go. Eventually, it was time to hit the hay since they planned on making good time when heading out in the morning. ”A sleepover, eh? Let’s do et.” Asta’s own rosey cheeks were mostly due to the alcohol as she patted Halston on the back roughly a couple of times, humming a sea shanty as she led them back across the street to the hotel.
Ok so sleeping in the same room as ghost types hadn’t been front on her mind, and was that a pokemon or an ultra beast alien thing?? While the group was getting used to each other it was probably going to be trainers each to their own side with their own Pokemon since each, funnily enough, had a ‘weakness’ so to speak, for the pokemon on the other. Although, Asta really enjoyed Theros, the fossil pokemon was rather cute and its high energy appealed to her. Reminded her a bit of Crim! Letting Zoro, Leaf, Dippa, and Crim out of their pokeballs as well, the room was a little crowded but it was a big enough room to accommodate nonetheless~ The various Pokemon would get around to greeting each other. Leaf was all about checking his reflection in the mirror and trying to look handsome in front of the other pokemon, Zoro approached the others quickly, in sudden bursts of greetings. Each of Crim’s heads reacted differently to the new pokemon, while Dippa sat in the corner looking a bit stoic.
How long had they just talked and laughed about their various pokemon interacting before they’d fallen asleep?
Asta was first up in the morning, although Halston might had thought she was still here on account that there was a shape under the blankets. In this case, Zoro who hadn’t been as eager to go out first thing in the morning. Crim had gone out with Asta, the woman wore not-exactly warm clothes to take a fresh, frigid jog around with her dodrio, the pokemon clearly not having a hard time keeping up but having a nice trot regardless. She’d been looking for a place to throw a few punches when she approached the exit to the next route, only to be told to turn back. Weeelll, Hal should probably hear about this!
Arriving back to the hotel just about when Halston was getting out of the shower, Asta raised a hand in greeting. ”G’moorning!” She called, Crim fluffing out his plumage as the three heads looked around at the room. ”So, eh, seems like there was a rockslide last night that’s blockin’ the route. I wouldn’t mind tryna go over, but in this case it might be faster to wait for them to clear it.””Rarkk…?” With a yawn, Zoro sat up in the bed, the blankets falling off of him as the pokemon rubbed at his eyes with one paw, the other holding onto the plushie Halston had gotten Asta. ”Heeeey-” Approaching the Zoroark, Asta took the plushy back to hug it to her chest, sticking her tongue out at her pokemon. ”Whatcha want to do Hal? Since we have time we could go out to the markets, get some ingredients, make ya a real breakfast. I am your contracted chef after all~”
