In a bout of insight, Richard gets the feeling that Beartrap wants to stay with the eggs. But he seems willing to fight.

Beartrap shrugs away the first time Richard tries to pet him, giving a small hiss. But if/when Richard tries again, he only gives a quiet rumble, and allows himself to be petted.

About 15 minutes later, true to her word the Nurse comes back with Midnight's pokeball.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Richard gets the ball and nods. "Thanks. Uh...can I have a bowl for her? And the others too? Also...when do you think Malcom's mons will be healed?" He feels somewhat stupid for not asking for five bowls earlier. He lets Duster and Midnight out to eat as he waits. He gently pets Beartrap and the others when he has the chance.

Bennet Nole

"What's wrong, Dozer? Something over there?" Bennet will asks, going over to the spot and looking around, perhaps digging a little to see what's up.

Rae

Rachel goes through her long hair, almost a little nervously. She did nearly immediately is getting a bad Conscience, that she had awakened Sarah - And you are able to see it in her face.

After making sure, that Sarah hasn't hurt herself - And of course, helping her up, she answers.

"Weeeeelll... Then I am sorry, that I woke you up... It isn't THAT big of a case, uhm... I just wanted to ask you to feed my team... Oh - AND show you my newest member."

Now her face really lightens up, when she carefully reches down and proudly presents her Bulbasaur.

"I always wanted to have a bulbasaur... Nurse Sarah, meet Asteria... Asteria, meet nurse Sarah."

If Sarah isn't driven back (or obviously to tired to follow), Rae will go on to tell her about the magnificent happening in the clearing... The beautiful song, the becoming, the impressive and huge venusaur, Asterias Courage... It isn't hard to notice how much she is impressed of her newest pokemon.

If the nurse is going to feed the pok├®mon, she will also watch curiously how the pok├®mon are coming to terms with the new team member - And she with them. The unshakeable Artemis, the couragous and sometimes a little sassy Loki with his carefull, yet nice companion Skorpan, the slightly arrogant, yet strong and cute Albrecht... Wow... She had gotten quite a family there in these few days.

Nevertheless, if nothing stops her, Rae is going to call it a day for today... She will build up her tent, after all bussiness is done and listen to her pillow until the next morning, where her clock should wake her at about 8 AM.

For the interested : Asteria is the greek godess of stars (and other things). Asteria flung herself into the Aegean Sea in the form of a quail in order to escape the advances of Zeus.

As Bennet begins moving towards the spot Bulldozer is staring at, she reaches out and stops Bennet in his tracks.

With a low growl she continues to glare at the spot. A few moments later the ground shakes slightly, and a brown thing pops out of the ground. Or at least it's head does, it appears that the rest of the body is still underground.

The Nurse patiently listens to Rae as she goes on about her recent experiences. With a small chuckle once she's done, ÔÇ£I'm glad your second day is ending well. Now let me get you some food.ÔÇØ With that she stands up and moves into the back room. She enters a minute later carefully balancing bowls of food in her arms.

ÔÇ£Oh yeah. Please place your pokedex in the slot.ÔÇØ She says as she places the bowls in front of Rae.

Most of her pokemon seem tired after the long day. But they still happily accept the food. There really isn't too much interaction, well except between Loki and Skorpan, who tells Loki about the entire trip. Speaking excitedly most of the time.

Moving outside Rae finds a nice place to set up her tent. and quickly falls asleep.

3rd Day, First Month, Year 1694 [8:00]

Through an incredible stroke of luck of something along those lines. Rae has an uninterrupted night of sleep, only being awoken by the sound of an alarm clock blaring only inches from her head.

ÔÇ£Yeah, I can get the others food also.ÔÇØ She says in an exasperated voice. ÔÇ£The should be fine in about 40 minutes or so. But he usually just leaves them here until he feels like getting them...ÔÇØ

She then moves into the back and brings out food for Richard's remaining pokemon.

ÔÇ£Mr. Wallace, your pokemon are fully healed.ÔÇØ Nurse Hecuba announces, then waits for Richard to get to the desk. ÔÇ£Put your pokedex in the slot please.ÔÇØ Once done she returns his pokemon.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Thank you Nurse Hecuba." Richard puts his dex in the slot and goes outside to look for another trainer battle, using the feature on the dex with Beartrap on his side in case wild pokemon appear.

[Donnigan]

Bennet Nole

"Whoah! That's a cute little guy..." Bennet will say, digging out his Pokedex and scanning it. "That was a good catch, Bulldozer! How'd you even know it was there...Do you have Tremor sense or something?"

Bennet will not do anything more threatening than wave a bit.

[Feytala]

Rae

Rae yawns and stretches herself, giving Artemis a Look... The Fire-Pok├®mon was the one that she kept outside to sleep besides her... Just in case. The clock barely survives the punch it gets - But it is used to that.

"Oh boy... I sleeped as deep as a Snorlax...", she voices, yawning again. Over 15 hours... But it had been rough days yesterday and the day before. In fact she had been awake a few hours earlier, but not seen any reason to get up... A break would do them only good.And she felt not nearly as rough as before, even when the wounds of the pidove-battle still hurt.

After changing her clothes and (with Artemis help) unbuilding the tent, she sends out the whole team. Each one gets a smile, a wink or even a hug... Then she crouches down. Artemis was still the biggest... But she liked it that way. Even when something to ride on would have been nice.

"Good morning, alltogether." She grins. "As some of you may have guessed, I want you to meet a new team member. This is Asteria." She reaches carefully for the Bulbasaur, raising it atop the others, so that all were able to see her.

"I am happy to have her with us... And I hope so will you. I could see how determined and couragous she was, so I am sure she will fit in nicely in our little troupe." Rae chuckles.

"As you all already had your basic training, she is a little behind in that, but I am sure she will catch up soon. So... As you have all worked hard the last two days, I thought about taking it easy today. I don't say there will be no battles, but I won't push it, if nobody approaches us. I think you all earned some fun. So... I planned to go to the shop to buy some new supplies - And get an idea what Albrecht found, the last time. After that I'll take a little trip to the gym. No worries, I just wanna thank the man who told me where to find bulbasaurs... Obviously."

She leans forward, letting Asteria down. "So, we will do light training today. A little jogging to the shop and to the gym... And after that, I had hoped the ones of you, that used to live in the forrest would know a little stream or lake nearby... And we could swim or have a little fun in the water, perhaps by playing ball again... So we all can get to know each other a little better. Besides, I want to thank all of you... Some of you (she looks at the Sentrets) have takern huge steps and the others are developing very good, too. One or two days more than that and we might try to get it on with the gym leader here, Angela... But now... Lets start to move - And no running away - The faster of you please take care of the slower ones."

In short :

-Training . Mainly Jogging today, some forrestwalking afterwards. The swimming could be of some use, too, especially if there is a game again. How long that takes is up to the GM, as there are breaks for :

-Going to the shop : Rae will try to identifie the Quick Claw - And sell it, if possible. She wants in exchange two new pok├®balls, a potion and a repell. Rest of the money goes into a new bag of treats and to her purse.

-Going to the gym : She wants to see the interior of the gym for a long time, and speak with the janitor again, to thank him and get him to know Asteria.

-After that, again to the forrest, planning to swim and, in a point, have fun.

Of course this is more or less the planning for the whole day... Nevertheless I wanted to tell it to you beforehand. I am sure, that there will be stops to play out. Maybe a battle ensures, maybe a pokemon crosses our ways and begs to be atched, maybe a bully wants to be beaten up... You know the drill Raes Main goal today is building up the team spirit, befriending her mons and giving them the opportunity to some fun.

No sooner then does Bennet press the button the pokemon disappears back into the ground. Bulldozer slowly turns to watch the ground and a few moments later the pokemon pops out about 10 feet from Bulldozer.

"Diglett, the mole pokemon. Diglett spend most of their lives underground, long exposure to sunlight can leave them weak. But their digging ability is unprecedented, they are frequently known to cause tremors due to there digging."

Another diglett pops up a few feet from the first one.

As she raises Asteria above the others they all respond with a quick reply. Much like kids do at school when a new student is introduced. Well... Except Albrecht who turns away slightly rather then welcome his new teammate. Asteria doesn't seem to care what Albrecht thinks though as she begins talking with the others.

All the pokemon turn to listen to Rae's plan for the day, in turn they slowly nod, seeming to agree with the plan.

And the jogging begins! Rae has to slow down to let her newest team member who has the shortest legs, but after about 10 minutes of a slow jog they reach the front of the pokemart, most of her pokemon look rather happy that they can quit jogging, but they hadn't even worked up a sweat yet so.

Upon entering the pokemart Rae is welcomed by a pleasant "Hello"

The Nurse responds, ÔÇ£It's what I'm here for.ÔÇØ

Looking at his pokedex there are three dots on it. What appears to be the same one he met earlier but didn't' battle. And one to the South a little out of the city and one that appears to be near the far north-western corner.

There's update #1!

And you're very lucky Don that you can focus on things so well. If I had your determination I would get way more work done, but I'm sorry you can't forgive me

[Arch Lich Burns]

Richard goes and checks the guy who he did not battle earlier.

[Donnigan]

Bennet Nole

"Wow...These guys are friendly..." Bennet says, fishing out a ration and breaking it up, and handing parts of it to the digletts. "Why are they hanging around?"

[Feytala]

Rae

Rae greets the Owner back, Ordering her troupe back, promising it'll be only for a little time. This time it's Albrecht who stays out and gets lifted on her shoulder, while the girl enters the shop. She fondles the Back of the neck of the Pachirisu.

"Hey... I am Sure you will get to like each other. Everybody has it#s strengths.-.. And yours are without question."

Then she turns to the man and gives him an nod, turning a lot more serious.

"Hello... Ahm... My Pachirisu found this lately and I wanted to figure out what it is... I am not really sure about it. Also I could need some cash if it's worth something and nothing absolutely cool."

A smirk... Then she hands over the Quick claw.

As Bennet approaches the diglett's the ground suddenly heaves. Within moments there is a gaping hole before him, separating him from the digletts.

"Trio!" A "new" pokemon shouts, looking around Bennet spots it behind the two dugtrio, well at least it seems to be a new pokemon. It actually just appears to be three digletts huddled in a group. Sadly none of those three look happy to see Bennet.

"Well let's see here..." The woman says accepting the claw from Rae. After a few moments of studying it she looks back up at Rae holding it out to her. "What you have there is a Quick claw. It provides pokemon with an energy that enhances their speed. As they grow in power so does the amount of power they can take from one of these."

"Actually, some say these were made from the claws of a Suicine. But that's just legend." She adds with a shrug.

Leaning on the counter she says, "I know a few trainers who would be willing to buy one of those. How about $2500 for it?"

After a few minutes of traveling in the general direction of the trainer, Richard looks at his pokedex again, and much to his surprise the dot isn't there anymore.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Richard sighs and goes towards the closest trainer according to his dex.

[Donnigan]

Bennet Nole

"Hey, we don't mean any of you harm. I was just giving these curious little guys something to eat. We can head out if you want." Benet says, quietly scanning the new Pokemon as he backs up and holds his hands up in a nonthreatening manner. If they attack, he will duck behind Bulldozer and have her use Scary Face, sending out Quickstart 5m above him.

[Feytala]

Rae

Rae nods on the offer after a little thinking.

"That will provide us with a little time to train..."

She raises her Pachirisu to her face and places a kiss on his forehead.

"Good action, Albrecht." A wink follows. "Keep it on."

Then she, turning much more serious again, turns to the shopkeeper again.

"Okay... I also need two new pok├®balls, a potion and a repell. Oh... And a bag of new treats. Then, I am finished for today..."

After that, the group takes speed on again, jogging up to the gym... She wants to take a look at the hall... And thank the "janitor".
