Welcome to Gaia! ::

"We did it? We won? We won!" Alex cheered, almost in disbelief. Her very first victory had arrived. Seeing Beldum returned and Magby taking its place surprised Lillipup but he was ready to keep going. He was however, not ready for Ember as he tried to run from it as instructed by Alex, only to be burned in the end. The puppy struggled to get back up but it was useless. "That's ok, you did good Lillipup" she smiled, returning the pokemon. Next it was Z's turn, who had more moves and more experience than Lillipup. The digital pokemon floated torward the battle field, staring at Magby.

The thought of Alex being a normal-type specialist crossed my mind, but her excitement over Beldum assured me that she wasn't. "Alright, Magby, set up a Smokescreen, please."

The little Fire-type responded by coughing up a cloud of billowing smoke between it and Porygon. Hopefully, this would prove enough distraction for the moment.

"Faint Attack."

Z's Discharge wouldn't be hitting anything but air, as Magby used the lack of vision to sneak behind Z and smack it with a fistful of darkness.

Magby, who had never taken such a powerful blow before, crumpled under the strong Psychic blast. He managed to get on his feet afterward, but it took enough effort that I just recalled him to his Poke Ball.

"Good job. You've got some real potential as a Pokemon Trainer." I told her with a slight smile.

"No problem," I told her before heading off for my room for the night. I had to promise Beldum and Magby that we wouldn't take it so easy on her next time before they would let me recall them, though.

As part of that promise, I spent much of the next day in the training room, seeing to their practice and experimenting with their abilities, this time with the two working together as a team against just Drillbur, which was good for his training, as well. I also let Samurai and Sunny team up against Darien and Shady, just to keep them from getting bored.

"You've got the berries, I can make them." Lykas offered from the medlab door. He wasn't sure why Blizz might need them but he'd learned a long time ago how to make both Pokeblocks and Poffins. The fact he had a gorgeous Milotic of his own should be evidence of his skill at the making of said treats, however.

Odd, on the other hand, was asleep at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee clutched tightly in his hands. Seemed he was trying to stay awake when he passed out.

"I see why you'd be considering your options." Lykas said with a thoughtful nod. "Well, my own Milotic seems to like the waters outside but you're right to be concerned about a Feebas. I've heard they're as hardy as Magikarp when it comes to the waters they can live in but 'can' and 'do' are two different things entirely." He mused aloud.

After a moment of thought, he made a decision. "I'm a water-type specialist and most of my Pokemon stay in the lake outside so if you wanted to let Feebas wander out there, I'll let all my Pokemon know to keep an eye on it for you." He offered. The only other option he could think of was the tank he had for smaller Water-types but it was a custom-made one. He'd brought it in from his room at Erika's gym and it was plenty big for smaller Pokemon. Problem is it takes up half a bedroom.
