Welcome to Gaia! ::

With a nod, Dan began stirring the concoction that made the pokemon go crazy. He had to admit though, it smelled good. "He's right Freya. You can sit this one out, we can handle it" he reassured her.

Rain was puzzled as to why Purrloin was circling around him. (What are you doing? Is this a game? How do you play?) he says slightly excited. Surely, it was his one true weakness.

As the berry soup came to a boil, it was set to the side as instructed by Terashi. Grabbing the next batch, Dan started to stir it just the same and watched it carefully so it wouldn't burn. He began to wonder what kind of berries Terashi put in it since it would effect the overall taste.

Nova watched as Purrloin circled his friend, afraid of what was to happen. (I-I don't know about this game Rain. Maybe you should just sit here and wait patiently for the food) he suggested. The otter kept watching the cat circle him, waiting to hear the rules to the game. With a smile, he turned to the Pignite stating (It'll be fine. You should play too- in fact, everyone should play!) Nova frowned, a little unsure of the game Purrloin wanted to play. She seemed like she was up to something and kind of reminded him of his old trainer.

Samurai set Bagon down and returned to his friend's side, only to be confused by the actions of the other pokemon. (What's going on here?)

(Some sort of game, according to Purrloin,) Sunny replied.

Although Samurai and Sunny didn't take much of an interest in the game, Drillbur found it amusing and decided to join in. Darmanitan and Scrafty, however, found the spectacle laughable, and so they proceeded to do just that - laugh. At everyone.

Meanwhile, Bagon had other plans. (I'M HUNGRYYY!!!) This elicited a sweatdrop from Samurai. (I hope they get done with the food soon, before Bagon starts some kind of riot.) he sighed.

Meanwhile, I was checking on all the prepared food as Dan worked on the last batch. Most of the berries among the various types I used were sweet, and I made sure of that before putting them in. However, some were more dry, but I hoped the soup itself would help with that, not to mention the juices of the berries themselves. The small scraps of meat I put into each batch were a secret - I hoped they would make a nice surprise, particularly having been sweetened by all the berries in the soup. This should make for quite a meal, at least that was my hope.

But then, not all pokemon liked sweet foods, let alone meat, so this probably wouldn't be any kind of grand culinary success or anything.

Articuno, being the bird of prey, wasn't picky. Though in lands like these, rat was probably the best thing on the menu. Though on that note...

Articuno looked down from above, trying to see anything from the sky. Raticate sounded quite nice right about now...

That would go without saying, as far as Articuno was concerned. The icy bird flew through the sky, keeping an eye out for any potential meal tickets. "Arrrr...Arrrri!" The bird called out to Tails. There was one right there. A Raticate roaming through one of the more open areas, heading for the trees. If they didn't act now, they'd lose him. "Arrrriiii!" The bird then spoke to Tails. Tails may find the need to hang on tight because Articuno was going for a dive.

The bird made the maddening dive right for the rat. The Raticate then stopped in its tracks then looked around. His ears and whiskers twitched. Something wasn't right at all to it. Nothing in front of him, nothing behind him...though above on the speedy descent right for him. "ARRRRRIII!" The bird shouted to Tails. They had the rat's attention.

The Energy Ball was right on. The Raticate fell back and tumbled a bit. Tails uncertainty, however, would be founded as the Raticate found its way back up, dazed a bit from the attack. But it had the idea that it was bad to stay here. He quickly made a 180 and darted for the trees again as fast as it could.

Articuno had to loop around a bit so it wouldn't end up making a crash landing with Tails hanging around like he was, but as soon as the bird was once again clear of the ground and knew he was safe, he went back on the pursuit to the rat again, hoping that it could catch up to the rat again.

"Arrrrri!" He didn't have a Quick Attack, however, he had the next best thing. Tails would notice that Articuno started to speed up severely. Almost blinding for that matter. This would be rather familiar to Tails if he truly knew his surrogate father's repertoire.
