Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alice smiled at Terashi in a grateful manner, earning a gentle pat on the head from her oldest sister before she found herself enveloped in those arms and being snuggled[smothered] in Krystal's embrace.

"Oooh you're just the cutest thing~" She cooed, causing the blonde girl to blush a little, hands coming to the arms that were nearly choking her.
"Th-thank you, Terashi. C-could I possibly ask you to r-remove my sister ... please?" It was a little obvious that she was begging him to call off his girlfriend.

Freya nodded in agreement. After a moment, she looked up at Dan's worried face and smiled. "You know, Azalea is just fine."

Connor watched the display between the sisters and decided that he should probably avoid them...all of them. First he'd have to find out who the last sister was to know who to watch out for. At this rate, he was sure he'd find out soon enough...

Dan blinked in surprise as Freya knew what he was thinking about. Perhaps she knew him better than he thought. "Yeah...you're right. Still, I can't help but be worried..." he smiled, pulling the girl closer to him.

I couldn't help but facepalm, but I knew Krystal was only having fun. "Come on, you can tease the boy all you want after I'm done with him."

With that, I led them out of the training room on our way to Sub's office. Chaos and Warbringer, by then, were in the kitchen. "'Sup?"

Keiko somehow kept from shuddering, and kept her back turned to Chaos. Something about him scared her senseless.

Al looked to Keiko for a moment before he spoke. "Do you know how to make alfredo sauce?" He asked of the girl as he set all of the ingredients he would need on the countertop. "If you don't, it's alright. I can do it if you wouldn't mind getting the noodles started for me." He told the girl with a smile.

"Alright." Al nodded to Keiko as he went to work preparing the sauce for the dish. When Chaos spoke up, he looked over his shoulder and smiled at the man. "Pamtre Alfredo. Homemade. Would you like some?" He offered. Only after this did he notice Keiko's strange actions. She seemed afraid of something....

Alice followed after them, sighing slightly. Sometimes her sister had the weirdest sense of humour.

"Kay!" Krystal said enthusiasticaly, enjoying the idea of teasing the guy more later.

Freya chuckled, getting to her feet and stretching. "Well, shall we go see if we can't sniff out my blonde baby sister?" The girl suggested with a smile, holding out a hand to help Dan to his feet if he wanted it.

Without any more ado, I led the three out of the training room and into Sub's office on the other side of the compound.

GRAY was on top of things, since the door wasn't locked when I went to open it. Either that, or he hadn't locked it back up from last time, with worried me even though I doubted that was the case.

"This office belongs to our leader, who you probably already know of as Sub. The Bisharp you'll see in here is his; it goes by Alan. It's really protective, so just don't make any sudden movements while we're in here."

With that, I opened the door and hurried them in. I immediately moved to Sub's desk and started rooting through it for starter kits. After a moment, I handed Alice and the new kid their SNAGs. "This is the Snagem Network Access Gear, what we refer to as our SNAGs. Their primary function is a communication tool between members, but they also have Pokedex features. The person you'll probably talk to most with these is actually an artificial intelligence known as the Guidance, Resource, and Assistance Yielder, or GRAY. He's a back-talker, but no matter what he says, he'll help you however he can. Something about the way he was made. Mostly, you'll be asking him to get the team's Claydol to teleport you to wherever you may need to go, but he'll also relay missions from Sub, and from what I hear, he's quite the source of information."

Next, the kids each got a gauntlet. "This is a Snag Machine. Put a Poke Ball here, and the device will turn it into a Snag Ball, which can capture other trainer's Pokemon. Personally, I only use this feature in an emergency, but to each their own."

A third device came out of both of the boxes, one to Alice and one to the new kid. "This is a Hoverboard. Works on any terrain, so if teleportation does bad things to your stomach, this is your Plan B. The last item of the Team Snagem Starter Kit is two Poke Balls, free of charge. By free, I mean that if you need more, you can look around for stores around the mountain where you can trade goods and services for Snag Coins that you can earn for performing services for the team. Don't worry, we won't ask you to do anything above your ability. If you volunteer, though, that's your business."

I put the boxes themselves away and led everyone out of the office. "With that settled, if you'd like to see what our headquarters has to offer, I can give you the usual tour."

Al was a bit surprised when Chaos' Combusken spoke to him. "That's an interesting ability....." He thought aloud before he turned to look at them once again. "There should be plenty for you both to have some as well. Might even be a bit left over if anyone wants seconds." He told them before he pulled a saucepan out of one of the cabinets and set it on the stove to begin.

First thing's first. He turned the eye on to begin heating the pan and dropped some butter. Quite a lot by the look of it. Good thing he knew what he was doing. "That sounds like a terrible way to live for someone who's not used to it......" He finally said in regards to how Chaos said the poor Pokemon had been treated. "If you don't mind my asking, who's this Rose that would do such a thing to a Pokemon?" He asked after another moment of consideration.
