    Nodding, Blake says, "Of course. It's good to know, at least, that we aren't the only ones out here trying to rebuild. We should get these things back to Joan and the others, though..." he addresses the latter to his companions.

    "Of course. It is probably for the best to spread around the demand so we're not draining too many resources from any one place." Collin makes a sign for Earth with his hands and bows. "With your permission, perhaps it is best if we return soon with what we have."

    "Of course, young ones. We shall also depart. May the Light guide you," he says with his deep voice and both Magmars turn to leave, as if by command. The people follow, never straggling long in the darkness. You head back to your gate and through the hole you've dug. No sign of pursuit shows, aerial or otherwise. By the time you reach the Arena it's 11:20 AM. Taylor takes your seeds and the Heat Lamp and leaves you three with Andrew. "Welcome back. We've finally caught up with mending survivors and we've got a couple hours. We can fully heal up to three of your pokemon, each."

    Collin will request that Rhea, Maia, and Ganga be healed.

    "We made contact with another band of survivors in there. They were lead by a man wreathed in flames."

    After turning over the trio for healing, he turns to Blake and asks, "Mind if I ask you a question about a problem I've been having?"

    Immediately after asking this, Dave says his bit to Collin. "Sure, what is it?"

    "No problem." Collin says, hugging him back.

    The moment over, he turns to Blake and says, "I have a bit of a problem: I just am not connecting with Bastet the way I am with my other friends. She's a fine, noble creature, but she and I just aren't developing the kind of bond that I have with my other pokemon. I feel that this would make her feel isolated and alone, which isn't fair to her. Would you be willing to take care of her?"

    Blake thinks about it, and replies, "I can, if you like... you already know that connecting with a Pokemon isn't a problem for me." Blake chuckles at his joke, before continuing, a serious look on his face, "I can't ask you just to give her to me, though... and truth be told, I've been wondering where Lyra fits in my team as it is. Even swap sound good?"

    Nodding, Blake takes the Pokeball, and heads back to Andrew. "Sorry about that, but we had to discuss something." Smiling, he hands over three Pokeballs, and says, "Anyway, if you can take care of Lux, Bastet and Zanna for me, I'm going to get some training in."

    Blake heads off a bit, releasing both Varen and Celeste. "All right, you two... let's do a bit of training, stealth and tracking. Varen, I want you to go invisible as long as you can, and stay at least within a couple meters of ground level. No phasing, either. Celeste, track and tag. Alright?" The two Pokemon give cries of affirmation, and Varen vanishes, with Celeste sniffing around for a bit before darting towards a seemingly random direction. After a couple minutes of chasing nothing, she leaps into the air, and the Misdreavus appears right where she jumped. The two repeat the process for the next couple hours, waiting for Andrew's word that his other Pokemon are ready.

    Collin will spend the next two hours rigorously training Isonade to get more force behind her jumps, hoping she'll eventually get strong enough that she can at least tackle things with her body and have some impact. He starts her off by refreshing herself on her jumping-to-move exercises before focusing on having her jump at his chest to see how much force she can put into it.

    The three of you drop off your pokemon and both Blake and Collin go off to train their pokemon. So only Dave is around when Andrew introduces a slight girl with dark hair. "This is Mueki. She's one of the survivors from the docks. She's been a great help with the kitchen and Joan's asked me to send her out with you for your next mission. Joan's exact words were, 'A diplomatic approach will be needed here,' looks like you've got some hours to get to know each other."

    Mueki was holding her Spheal in her arms, apparently drawing comfort in it's presence. She bowed quickly. "Hi, I'm Suifu Mueki. I'm from Ereautek City in the Johto Region. It is a pleasure to meet you. I... I can cook, and I have some strong Pokemon..." She trailed off, unsure of what to say.

    he scans the spheal "nice to meet you I'm Dave Smithers, but you can just call me Dave. I'm from kanto, I guess I mostly handle the technical stuff like making and fixing pokeballs, I seem to have a bit of luck when it comes to throwing them too." she seemed a little shy to him. fortunately he knew just the mon to help get people out of thier shells, he calls out his pokemon "so this is Biter don't worry she's mellow, Peach my little shroom" he gives Peach a little hug still glad he didn't have to give her up "and that Phanpy poking and sniffing you curiously is Nosey" Nosey looks up at Mueki with excited anticipation. "and the cat, bird, and cat/bird thing I handed off to Andrew are Growler, Flappy, and Slasher respectively"

    She bowed to each Pokemon in turn, saying to each, "A pleasure to meet you." That done, she hefted the Spheal up, who gave an excited bark. "This is Punipuni, Puni say hi." The Spheal gave another bark and clapped repeatedly, excited.

    Mueki then got nervous again, squeezing Punipuni tighter and saying, "Where's everyone else? I was told there was th-three of you."

    Mueki fidgets. "Um... I don't know. You could check the breeder area, I think there was a Move Tutor hanging around there. I'm not sure though..." Mueki considers what to do next. She knew her Pokemon were probably way weaker then the team she had joined, so she supposed she should train them up some. "I'm going to do some training then..." She stood awkwardly, not sure how to leave, before she just slid off with a soft, "Bye."

    She found a spot where the ground was littered with rubble from the explosion and nodded determinedly, thinking up ways to train her Pokemon. She brought out her trusty Ryhorn, who appeared with a roar. "Okay Ooraku, we're going to be clearing some of these big rocks. First we'll push them into one spot, then we'll break them down into gravel!" Mueki then guided the Ryhorn to a piece of rubble the size of her and showed him the spot she wanted it pushed.

    While Ooraku went about his task, she crouched down with Punipuni. "I want you to practice with your ice. Make some paths on the ground and roll around, according to the Pokedex you learn Ice Ball soon, so this will get you some practice." The strong timbre of her explanation was very different from her introduction, her shyness not evident now that she was not around people.

    While Ooraku pushed heavy rocks, Punipuni started rolling about, freezing the ground beneath it as it slowly made a path. After a nice, winding path was made, Punipuni used Defense Curl to round himself out a little more and started to roll. He fell off the path numerous times, but encouragement from Mueki was all that was required to get him to go to the start and try again.

    Ooraku had a nice pile of rocks going before Mueki had him strike the rocks with his horn, going for speed rather then power to break them apart. Referring to her P-Gear once again, she has found that he was close to learning Fury Attack, and she knew that if he got used to it now he could more easily use it in the future.

    The final half-hour of the two-hour training session was Ooraku learning how to walk on frozen terrain, with minimal success. His weight was enough he could break thin layers of ice and forge forward at a slower speed, but if Punipuni made the ice thick enough to hold his weight he couldn't figure out how to walk without sliding every which way. She finished her training session by giving both Pokemon big hugs and returning them.

    She headed back to the gym, releasing Matowaritsuku and having him coil about her shoulders.

    Dave heads off in search of people selling TM's and move tutors the places he checks are(in no particular order other than efficient travel)
    • the gyms breeder kennel
    • the gyms office
    • the arena garden
    • the arena shanty town
    as he passed between the gym and arena he spots Mueki training a large pokemon he scans it and says to himself "Rhyhorn? damn she wasn't kidding about strong pokemon I'm glad she is on our side" he noticed that he was only 2 scans away from hitting his 50 pokemon seen milestone so he's hoping to spot a few new ones among the survivors. He realizes its kinda a silly thing to worry about at the moment but the world has to go back to normal eventually, and little things like scanning pokemon help remind him of that.

    Mueki and her pokemon go outside, across the street to do their training. Some light from the higher floors of a hotel reflects on the ice, illuminating her temporary training space. [Training Validated]. Dave enjoys a leisurely stroll through the shanty-town that is the Arena. The Garden takes up most of the central area and is heavily guarded. Dave can see that there are plenty of people holding lengths of pipe and baseball bats that are obviously not Gym trainers. It seems that the survivors were integrating themselves into protection and production of their encampment. Following a path of what were stairs not two days ago, Dave somehow finds himself facing a man crammed between a wall and tent. "Hey kid, whaddaya buyin?" He has a small assortment of goods, and a large, brown bear-like pokemon with a yellow ring around it's stomach. The Ursaring seems to be the merchant's guard.

    Dave pays the man again and he replies with, "No refunds." Dave is handed a large bag of parts and he sets it down in a more open area. He begins assembling, well building, a bicycle out of the assorted gadgets. Local children gather around, apparently with nothing better to do.

    They begin playing a game, passing large rubber balls across the circle of Dave's work space. He can tell they're trying to annoy him, but for the most part he ignores them. Then a ball isn't thrown high enough and it bounces off his head. A round of laughter and giggles proves that this wasn't an accident, and the children begin passing the ball around again. The next time the ball flies too close, Dave's hand jumps up to meet it and knocks it straight upward. A collective breath is held as the ball reaches it's apex and falls back to the earth, only to land impossibly still on the back of Dave's outstretched hand. A round of applause accompanies the laughter this time and the mood of the circle changes. Dave successfully finishes repairing/rebuilding his bike, even keeping the collapsibility of the thing. It's a multicolored contraption, but all the parts work fine. In celebration the kids hand you two more rubber balls and leave to their own chores and homes. [Gain Bike and Juggler's set]

    ______________

    Soon all four of you converge on Andrew to receive your pokemon. Those handed away are fully healed and all promises kept. Joan was waiting there, obviously intent on talking to all of you. "Okay, Taylor reports success in the Greenhouses. That's good. Your next job is why I've asked Ms. Suifu to join you: There's a particular hotel that we've heard is housing a large camp of survivors on the roof. They don't have enough for themselves, and we still have plenty of space here." She takes a moment to look out over the Arena as a whole. "You're looking for The High Water Mark, a hotel along the Beachfront. Anna has informed me that the roads seem clear for now, but there's no telling what will be out there when you go. Any questions?"

    -Find the right hotel.
