Kiki watched the Slowqueen seem to get distracted by Gavin and scooped him up in to a big hug. A small smile slipped out as she watched the display. She wouldn't say he was quiet he talked quite a bit with her and Cloud. A small yawn escaped her. Leaning against Cloud she simply went to sleep. It was easier then fighting it. Cloud blinked and smiled slightly before closing his eyes himself. Rikka had to go through it rather quickly since Sabine seemed to like to move. Finishing the sketch in record time she went back through it and added the background and smoothed the edges a bit. Then added a few details she had missed.

Sabine but a hand to her chin and seemed to be thinking about something for a moment before finally looking back at the girl and the sketchbook and realizing that she was being drawn. "Oh heheheh," she said before standing completely still. Despite the effort not to move, the Slowqueen began to talk again none the less. "So do you travel a lot?" she asked Rikka lightly waiting to see if there would be a return of some stories or something of that nature. Nero watched for a bit and then finally rose slowly before walking over and looking quietly at the picture that Rikka had been drawing. Gavin simply sat and continued to relax there.

Rikka smiled at the Slowqueen noticed she was sketching her. Her efforts to stand still were appreciated as she added the smaller details. Looking up at teh question Rikka nodded. "Oh yes. I'm learning about pokemon and their habits. I want to be a breeder you see. And have a nice house with lots of land to keep all types of pokemon happy. Also I want it to be a place where even wild pokemon can be safe. Have you ever been to the Arcane Temple?" Rikka liked telling stories it was fun and you could learn about other places to go. Cloud chuckled at the mention of the Temple. He had heard from Flare that the roof had collapsed while Rikka and a boy named Haiiro had been battling.

The Slowqueen put a hand to her chin and seemed to think for a moment. "I can't say I have been to it, but I have certainly heard about it," she answered back before suddenly thinking about the previous statements as well. "And oh that sounds lovely, dear. I'm sure that you're dream will come true." Nero half half smiled at the comments from the Slowqueen before finally walking back and sitting next to Gavin again. The male Gardevoir seemed a tad worried now. <Are you alright, Nero?> he asked telepathically to the dark haired girl. If it had been anyone else, he would not have broadcast his thoughts in this manner, yet Nero had allowed him several times to interchange thoughts making Gavin more comfortable with doing it. The dark haired girl said nothing outwards but simply nodded back. The Gardevoir nodded slowly and then went back to looking towards Sabine. She was certainly having a wonderful time now wasn't she? Well, the lady Slowking was of the sorts.

Rikka smiled and listened to her comment. "Yes well I have a nice little story to tell about it. While I was looking for a Ralts in The Arcane Temple, My little Cyndaquil, I think you would like her quite a bit, stumbled upon another trainer and went about asking her questions. I found her and apologized before putting her back in her ball. While we searched I ended up distracted and fell down a hole which he, Haiiro, helped me out. His Ralts, Isa, is a very nice one and was friends with a Gallade. I didn't get to learn his name. Well I thought they would make a good sketch and asked if I could. Well he wanted a battle out of it so I agreed. Battles are just battles after all." Flipping to the page with Gallade and Isa on it she flipped it around for everyone to see. "Well we had our battle and right in the middle of it we had the roof collapse on us. I find it funny now because usually I pick a safer place to battle."
Turning it back around she went back to Sabine's picture. Satisfied with the results she flipped it around so Nero and Sabine could see it. "Whatcha think?" Haunter gave a thumbs up as he looked at the picture. He figured it was just as well he got stuck with a trainer that had lots of kindness and less common sense. Though the story was funny in a sense.

Nero had to resist the urge to let her mouth drop. This girl could talk at the same stride as Sabine. The Slowqueen put a hand to her chin but smiled lightly. "Sounds like quite a lot of excitement for a girl your age" she finally grinned. "Maybe I can convince my Nero to go to the Temple sometime then. I'm sure it would be an interesting experience especially since it has such a high psychic potential from what I have heard. And oh my the picture looks just stunning, dear. Very nice very nice indeed." The Slowqueen smiled happily and then finally crossed her arms in front of herself. "Have you ever thought about drawing as an occupation? I'm sure you would do well seeing as you drew me so quickly." The Slowqueen smiled happily at her own comment. Nero was quiet thought it all but simply nodded a few times whenever Sabine made a comment that she agreed with. Gavin simply watched as well and then crossed his arms in front of himself taking on a very thoughtful appearance for a moment before uncrossing his arms again and smiling. Apparently he had thought of whatever he had been trying to remember.

Rikka glanced at Nero and couldn't help but giggle at her expression. "Yes I can talk though I know when to keep quiet. You hadn't looked like you wanted to talk much so I respected that." Smiling she looked over at Slowqueen and grinned. "Oh yes but I wanna be a breeder more. I usually trade drawings for food. It works out way better that way." Flipping the pages in her sketch book she show the one she had done of Raikiri and Asa. "How's this one?"
Umbreon looked over at Gavin and wondered what he was thinking. What ever it was he was smiled now and had thought of something. Blinking she looked away from him and to the girls. Moon wondered when they were gonna leave. She heard it got awfully cold here at night. Maybe they could find someplace warm to stay tonight.

Nero said nothing at the comment directed at her but seemed to take it into her own thoughts for a moment and address it however she had addressed it. The Slowqueen looked at the page rather critically as if she were some sort of judge on art and then finally smiled. "Yes that is nice as well, and ah a breeder, that's a rather good occupation especially in the pokemon world what with hybrids with special abilities and the like," Sabine smiled rather pleasantly. She had not met a hybrid, in truth, bust she had heard of them, and they seemed rather interesting in the end of it all. Gavin seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, yet as he turned, whoever it was had looked away. Suddenly the male Gardevoir disappeared in a Teleport and came back with some large sticks and rocks. Setting the rocks up in a circle and then adding the sticks, the Gardevoir disappeared again and then came back with more and more. After a bit, he looked over towards Nero. The dark haired girl had been partially watching what Gavin was doing and eventually rose to meet him. Taking out a flint rock, the dark haired girl lit the fire and stood back carefully eying it in case there was any sort of extra flame. After a moment, she looked towards Gavin again. The Gardevoir smirked, Teleported, and then came back with what appeared to be a rather large canister. The dark haired girl took it and then set it in the fire carefully letting the contents heat up.

Rikka smiled and listened to the slowqueen. She was so animated it was rather hard not to giggle again. After she had commented Rikka flipped her sketch book closed and held it up so Haunter could look through it. He swiped it immediately and floated around looking through it. "I've heard of them." Looking at her sleeping ralts and abra she figured might end up with a hybrid of her own if she got lucky. But she figured it would be a long time till those two trusted her enough. Pulling out two pokeballs she returned them so they wouldn't be awakened from their sleep. "Well besides being a breeder I also want to be able to run a ranch with lots of land that even wild pokemon would find safe. Its a long ways off but I'm looking forward to the journey."
Moon blinked and watched Gavin disappear then reappear with large sticks and rocks. He did it multiple times before setting them up in the traditional fashion. Blinking Moon watched Nero start the fire with a flint rock. Rikka looked up at the sky and noticed the blue and started to darken already. A yawn slipped from her. Maybe they would stay the night here and set off in the morning. It was a good idea to her mind she would just have to remember to make sure the tent would be completely sealed so the cold wouldn't be able to sneak in very well.

"Heh they are quite interesting, indeed," Sabine answered back. "They tend to happen more often when humans breed their pokemon rather then when pokemon breed in the wild, but I simply believe that is because pokemon will more often than not choose to breed with their own kind at least in the wild, heh." She nodded to herself thinking about this. "But then again, love isn't too restrictive in the world now is it?" Nero watched the canister heat up and was rather careful with it as she removed it once more from the fire with her sleeve pulled up around her hand to keep it from burning. She was quiet fro a moment before looking towards Rikka. "...............do you want some soup?" the dark haired girl finally asked.

Rikka smiled and listened to Sabine. She was easy to listen to since she did most of the talking anyways. Smiling she nodded in agreement and watched Nero heat up her can of soup. "Well maybe I'll have a hybrid of my own one of these days. I've heard they look like a mix between the two pokemon being breed together." Rikka smiled and nodded in agreement to her last question.
Moon listened and shook her head at having a hybrid. She hadn't see one yet though Sabine was correct that love had no restrictions. Yawning she looked about then closed her eyes though her ears twitched showing she was still awake. Rikka looked over at Nero and smiled. "Yes please. Would you like another peach?" Getting up she grabbed her back and rooted through it grabbing two more peaches. Apparently she liked fruit, peaches to be specific.

Sabine laughed lightly and nodded. She had been about to start another story when she caught sight of Nero apparently finishing the cooking. Gavin had teleported once more and came back with several cups. It was questionable as to where he kept getting these things, yet neither Nero nor Sabine had ever questioned him on it. Pouring out the contents of the canister into the various cups, Nero finally handed one to Rikka and then one to Gavin and Sabine as well. Both pokemon seemed rather pleased and took the food rather easily. Nero was quiet for a moment but in the end did accept the peach.

Rikka watched Gavin teleport back and forward to some place getting things. She didn't question it since Nero and Sabine weren't. It must have been normal. Walking back over with the peaches in hand she sat back down and took the cup. "Thank you Nero." Handing over one of the peaches to Nero she set the other one down and listed Moon into her lap to make her more comfy. Rikka took a sip of the soup and smiled. "The soups tastes very nice."
Moon yawned and opened her eyes slightly as she was moved then closed them again her ears twitching every now and again. Raikiri while they had been talking had been storing the shiny stones in the poket Rikka had given in. Pulling out his spoon he smiled at it and shined it up a bit. Putting it back in he zipped the pocket closed like Rikka had taught him to. Haunter was floating around on the opposite side of the oasis still looking through sketch book. Soon he came over yawning but didn't look like he wanted to give up the sketch book. Rikka smiled and returned him to his ball while he was holding the sketch book. She could get it back tomorrow.

Nero was quiet for a moment but seemed to soften just a little bit. "Thank you," she answered back trying to list out everything that she was thanking Rikka for in her own mind but finding it oddly difficult. Gavin seemed to grin rather happily with his work being done. Taking up his soup, he ate... er.. rather drank it pleased. Sabine seemed to be thinking for a moment before it was done and she began talking again. "Yes thank you so much for being so nice," the Slowqueen went on rather happily . "With the way things seem to be at the moment, it's hard to find people such as yourself." Nero found herself blinking slowly at the Slowqueen but not stating anything else.

Rikka smiled and sipped her soup again while she absently petted Moon. Looking over she watched Raikiri store his rocks then zip the pocket up. Her eyes slipped back over to Nero. "Your Welcome." Sipping her soup she picked up her peach with her free hand and offered the first bite to Moon. Opening her eyes she took two bites instead of one. She had picked up Rikka's love of peaches and tended to sneak away with one every now and then. Raikiri ran toward them and stopped near Rikka looking at the peach. With a smiled Rikka let him have a bite also. Raikiri took a bite and wiggled his nose slightly before taking another and crawling into her lap and laying on top of Moon. Soon he was fast asleep.
Moon looked at Raikiri and moved so he was sleeping beside her and not on top of her. Rikka laughed softly then looked over at Sabine as she started talking. Sipping the soup she listened and thought about it. "Naw. Everyone is nice at some point." She smiled and finished off her soup. Setting the empty cup beside her she took a bite out of her peach. Slowly her eyes scanned the area to find the best spot for a tent.

Nero looked off towards the water in the Oasis and then finished her soup before standing and walking over towards it again. Putting her feet in the water and then sitting on the sand, the dark haired woman took a breath. Looking up at the sky instead of the water, Nero could see the first few stars that twinkled while the sun was still out. Sabine seemed to look over towards the water and laugh lightly to herself. "Ah the water reminds me of the days I was a slowpoke," she said already thinking about another story. "I have very few memories of such a time, but one of them was particularly clear. I was once fishing with my tail like most of the younger class do, and while I was waiting for something to take a nibble, I forgot what I was doing for a few minutes. However, after that, I looked down at my tail, and a Gyarados was trying to bite it off. I swear I was so shocked that for a few seconds, I forgot even what I was doing then and there, hehehe. Sooner or later, the Gyarados left, and I went back to finishing. I am so glad to say that I have gotten over forgetting things so easily, but yes it was quite an odd moment. Hheheeh."Gavin sweat dropped when the story ended but then seemed to look around at the sand. Using a Psychic to level out some of the sand a ways off from the water, he made a mental note to show Nero later so that they would at least be a bit more comfortable seeing as Nero rarely carried tents or anything of that nature.

Moon opened her eyes and looked up at the sky. Stars were starting to twinkle. Nudging Raikiri she got up and stretched. Walking around she looked around until she saw a slope. Raikiri popped his head up and watched Moon walk away. Stretching while he yawned he followed after her and helped her dig a hole into the slope be enough for Rikka and the rest of her pokemon. Rikka watched her pokemon and smiled then listened to Sabine. She giggled slightly and stood up wiping off the sand. "I bet. I know I wouldn't be forgetting anything anytime soon." Smiling she grabbed her bag and picked it up taking it over to where Moon and Raikiri were digging. Rubbing their heads she pulled out the tent things and set it near the two working pokemon.
Looking up she noticed the stars already popping up. Rikka moved with ease around her pokemon. They had set up tents so many times it was almost natural now. Raikiri sat back on his haunches and looked at large hole they had made in the sand. That would keep the heat around them for the night. Soon he curled up on the mat Rikka was lining the hole with. Moon helped get the tarp set up in a lean too fashion. It was a rather large tarp that covered more then Rikka remembered. Scratching her head she rearranged it so it didn't seem so big. Grabbing the blankets out of her pack she tossed them in on top of Raikiri. Stretching Rikka walked back over to Sabine and Nero. "So where are you guys headed?"

Through all the movement and things, Nero hadn't stopped looking upwards, yet as she was addressed again, the dark haired woman turned her head towards Rikka for a moment. "Probably towards the Amphitheater," she answered back now looking towards the water. "I'm looking for a Bronzor, and I hear that they are seen around that area," the dark haired woman nodded slowly at her own words. Bronzor... and then Bronzong were much like the Beldum evolutions being both psychic and steel two of the things Nero liked in pokemon. "What about you?" the rather androgynous dressed woman asked looking towards Rikka. Sabine had been about to talk but was cut off by Gavin as he poked her in the shoulder and more or less conveyed what he was trying to say. The Slowqueen seemed to nod, and both moved towards the leveled area as though going to inspect it.

Rikka sat on the sand then laid back. Stretching out she looked up at the stars even as she felt the chill starting to weave its way into the warm air. "I was thinking I might head toward Sol beach. I heard its frozen this time of year. Or at the very least some place near the frozen lake." Though then again she wanted to switch three of her pokemon for the pokemon she had adopted and see how they did. The female was afraid of water so maybe she would go someplace near the water but with enough land to keep the bird pokemon occupied. "I need to see how the pokemon I adopted do on a team. Though one is afraid of water despite her type. Silly thing."
Moon grabbed a blanket and moved things around in the little shelter. Stretching her legs she peaked out then went over to Rikka. Carefully she walked onto Rikka and laid on her stomach. Moon had actually forgotten Rikka had adopted three new pokemon. One was afraid of Water and the other worried way too much. The third seemed to be a bit ditzy and think he was macho or something. Shaking her head she laid it on her paws and watched the other two pokemon go and investigate the flat area. Blinking she crawled off of Rikka and went over to the other two. ("Wouldn't Nero keep warmer if you dug a hole into the slope? That would keep the chill from hitting her.")

"The beach is odd this time of year," Nero stated looking across the water. "The northern areas are completely frozen, yet some of the southern areas have thin ice, and...." She broke off for a moment as though taking in the idea of adopting a pokemon. "I've had pokemon follow me before," she finally stated thinking of the few pokemon that had come with her including Gavin and Sabine. "But what do you mean adopt?" she finally posted the question rather flatly. Both Sabine and Gavin turned rather surprised at being addressed in pokemon rather than psychically or in human tongue, yet after a moment, Gavin spoke and returned the words in pokemon. <We were actually about to make a sand-igloo> he answered back finding it slightly weird on his own mouth to speak in the way. Sabine nodded at this and then seemed to turn towards the sand. Using a Psychic, she started to lift the sand and compact it.
