Mekura nodded her head as he thanked her. Well he had manners at least. "Welcome." Sitting on the ground she resumed trying to coax the Swablu over to her. Apparently the bird pokemon was very stubborn. Risa started to skip around trying to work off some of her energy before bed time. Mekura was probably going to make the boy rest tonight which meant he would probably be camping with them. Looking at the Gastly who was following her around she tilted her head and decided he could probably tell her what she wanted to know. <Has Kero ever camped out before?> She had a feeling he never had.
Mekura could almost hear his thoughts in that one word. "I wouldn't do it if I were you. If Nero really is an assassin you wont last long once you put up those posters." Scooping up Kaiyou she bounced the baby gently on her knee, which resulted in the togepi giggling with glee. Smiling she placed the food close to Swablu then started to tickle Kaiyou. Kaiyou babbled in her baby language though non of it was understandable. She had refused to learn how to talk normally for the time being.
Hana perked her ears up at Kero's question. Tilting her head she got up stretching. The sun would be setting any minute so she didn't want to be on the rocks that would get really cold. With a warning glance at the boy she headed into the cave and laid at the head of the blankets that were all spread out. Apparently Mekura had been anticipating the boy to come by cause she had made a place for him and his pokemon too. Mekura looked in his direction sharply. So he was a bit educated. "No. My mother liked the name." Mekura had lied about her blindness for so long she could lie with the best of them. In any case he would never get the truth out of her.

Swablu continued to stubbornly sit in her place, though every now and then she would eye the food Mekura had to offer. Gastly was still following Risa around, a huge grin on his face as he did so until she stopped and asked him a question. For a moment his smile disappeared as he began to think the question over. A few moments later the smile returned and proudly replied with a ‘ Nope, never!’ He almost sounded a bit too happy over the entire reply. Mostly he was just happy he could actually help a bit. Kero wanted to argue with Mekura’s reply. She had guessed what he was planning right to the T which annoyed him. What annoyed him more was that he wanted to claim that despite today he was capable of taking care of himself. Only issue was, he wasn’t even fully convinced he protect himself from Nero in his own home. Knowing that only frustrated him more. He hated feeling helpless. He had felt the same feeling the day his mother died and had wanted to keep that feeling from returning. Yet here it was again. He had spent too much time studying over actually doing. This would have to change so that the day he did post those posters for Nero’s head he’d be ready for her. “ I’ll...” No, he just had no come back to this. None at all. The very moment Mekura set down the food, Swablu turned and watched her. After a few moments of deciding that Mekura wasn’t going to pick the food back up she happily hopped over to the food and began nibbling away. Kero watched as Hana gave him a warning glance before heading off to the cave. He slightly rolled his eyes asking himself what he down now to disserve the glance. He had a feeling that until the moment he got out of here he would be feeling rather foolish and useless. Soon after getting the glare from Hana, Mekura answered his incomplete question. For some reason he didn’t fully believe her but he was in no position to call her out on it. The last thing he wanted was to be wrong and feel even worse then he already did. “ Swablu...” Kero slid off the rock and addressed the small bird pokemon, “ She’s a friend. You have to remember to give friends a chance without food as a brib.” He had been working to help Swablu get over her shyness and stubbornness around new people though he still had a long ways to go with her. Luckily the words caused Swablu to take a moment to think about what was said before she shyly hopped a bit closer to Mekura and have a small, cheerful chirp. “ I... that is... as soon as Charizard is feeling better I’ll be out of your hair” He really had no idea how long that would take. For all he knew it could be all night but he really had no choice. He was just dreading the moment the sun fully went down. It would start to get cold and he had no shirt or camping supplies to keep him warm. He was too shy to ask Mekura for more help then she had already given... well was it really shyness keeping him from asking for just more shame? Most likely a bit of both leaning closer to the shame.

Risa nodded and smiled before she skipped off in the odd game of follow the leader. <Thanks!> He had answered her question which meant Mekura had been right on following her instincts. Awww! She had lost the bet. Now she had to sleep with Kaiyou tonight. Though Mekura would just curl around them anyways. Skipping over to Mekura she took the hat off and handed it over before taking the water bottle Mekura offered her and taking a few sips. Smiling she offered some to the Gastly. With the fading light one could see that the ralts was indeed a shiny.
Mekura felt his need to argue with her and chuckled. At least he had to think about it. Logic was hard to argue with. When his sentence dropped off after the first word she smiled and set Togepi on the ground. The baby pokemon babbled away in her baby talk until she spotted Kero. Squealing she toddled over to him and held up her tiny arms. She liked new people way too much. Though Mekura liked the social side of her pokemon it made making new friends. Mekura turned her mind back to the Swablu who had decided to take the while it wasn't in her hand.
Mekura listened as Kero talked to Swablu about being bribed and such. When she was approached by the Swablu she smiled softly. Gently she lightly ran her fingers over the Swablu and pulled out little bits of dirt from the fight earlier. "Just a bit shy. Which is fine. Just another point to a personality. Like Kaiyou always wanting to be friends with everyone." Stroking the bird pokemon's head she looked in Kero's direction. "Don't worry. Your Charizard needs to rest and so do you. Lets go into the cave the sun is nearly set." Stroking the bird pokemon one last time she got up carefully and headed back to the cave.
Risa blinked and quickly followed after Mekura before she turned around and wondered where Togepi had gone. The baby was always searching for new friends though Mekura would always be her favorite. The cave by now would be nice and warm since Hana had been in there.

Gastly continued to follow Risa happily until he spotted a rock around the size of a large fist sitting slightly nudged between two larger rocks. It was completely black in colour and had a bit of a shine to it. Without a word Gastly floated over to and scooped it up into mouth. Before long he had floated back to Risa, hiding the rock he had found in mouth. Kero was thinking to himself silently as Risa made it over to Mekura and removed the hat. From the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the odd colors on Risa and for a moment ended up looking at her. The oddness in her colours reminded him Gastly’s odd colouring to his Smokey like gas. It was blue rather then the normal purple like the other gastly’s. Perhaps Risa was considered a shiny pokemon as well. After a moment of watching Risa he turned his head again and appeared to go back into thought. That was until the tiny baby pokemon had made it’s way over to him. At first he just looked down at it and listened to it’s words. He wouldn’t have been able to understand a word it said even if it hadn’t been speaking in baby language. Soon enough Kero leaned down a bit and picked up Kaiyou, setting the tiny pokemon onto his knee. He then stuck out a finger and softly pocked it where it’s nose would most likely be. Swablu stretched her wings out as Mekura removed the dirt from her feathers. While doing so the tiny bird pokemon also began to show off. She believed she was very pretty and loved having others comment on this. Someday she would evolve and then she was certain that she would be the most absolute gorgeous thing on the planet. Kero had offered to enter her into a beauty contest before but she had declined. She really wanted to wait for the day she was ready to evolve before entering anything. Kero was shocked when she more or less offered to let him rest with them in the cave. He truly had never met someone so kind especially after being treated so poorly. She would make an excellent nurse. He was sure of that. Then again for all he knew she could be one. He really had no idea what her goals were or what she did for a living. At this point she probably knew more about him then he knew about her. Setting down the Togepi, Kero stood up and began to follow Mekura, “ Someday I will repay my dept to you for kindness.” Kero stated as he followed her, stopping for a moment when she turned around. He didn’t care if she would refuse the need to have the dept returned. It was what he believed in. Gastly, who had still been following Risa around quickly moved in front of Mekura to grab her attention. Without warning he stuck out his tongue to her, the big black rock sitting in the middle of it. He had decided it was a gift for her. He licked the rock so she would too. Right?

Risa hadn't even noticed Gastly hide the rock in his mouth. Once she had spotted Kaiyou she waited for the boy to put her down before she took her inside. Kaiyou squealed in happiness at being picked up and giggled when he poked her nose. Babbling Happily at him she looked around to see what everyone else was doing. When he put her down to walk over to Mekura she followed along behind him until she was scooped up. Another squeal and she ended up giggling again. Smiling she babbled at Risa as she was carried into the cave.
Mekura heard his words and opened her mouth to refuse it when she actually thought about the honesty in his words. Closing her mouth again she nodded her head and turned back around to continue into the cave only to be stopped short by Gastly. She felt him stick out his tongue and reached out to take the rock. He had definitely licked it but she could feel the question hanging around him. Risa chuckled from inside and told Mekura through their link that he wanted her to lick it too! Risa snuck to the entrance and watched to see what Mekura would do.
Mekura seemed to inspect the rock then look in Gastly Direction. Mekura did a lot of things for pokemon. The Gastly was a sweet one so licking the rock would probably make him happy. Quickly she licked it and smiled at him. "Now don't go making me lick every rock you find okay?" She was teasing him as she petted him gently and gestured for him to float into the cave. Risa cracked up giggling since she knew Mekura would do it. She had one eaten a piece of poke-food that Togepi shared with her. Risa squeaked and ran inside to Hana when Mekura made a grab at her.

Kero stopped walking when Gastly floated in front of Mekura and stuck out his tongue with the rock. Kero knew exactly what the Gastly had wanted and it caused a small smile to finally reach his lips. Back at home Gastly had a small pile of random objects he collected for one reason or another. This wasn’t the first time he had wanted someone else to give the item he liked a licked. Though this would only be the second time Gastly had found someone who actually lick it for him. Kero had licked a rubber ball for him a few days after he caught Gastly. That had been a while ago and no one else knew about it other then the two of them. Not even Charizard had been present for it. It was also something Kero probably wouldn’t admit to. An over flow of excitement filled Gastly when Mekura actually did lick the rock for him. He would be adding this rock to his collection that was for sure. He took it back while she patted his head and tucked it in under his tongue. After she was done he quickly raced over to Kuro talking as fast as he could. He was clearly explaining his excitement to the young man. “ I know, I saw.” Kero had replied to him as started to head into the cave again. Gastly continued to talk even after they made it inside. Though it quickly died off as soon as the ghost pokemon was distracted by the cave walls. Apparently something about them was interesting to Gastly. Kero was a bit shocked to see that a bad was already made up for him. He knew she hadn’t had time to make him a bed when he had asked her for help. It meant either one of her pokemon made it or she had already known he was going to ask for help before he had. For some reason he doubted that one of her pokemon made the beds. So then why? Why would she be kind enough to help someone she didn’t even like before they even asked? Was that just the sort of person she was? Kero shook the thoughts out of his mind and turned to Mekura. He had wanted to thank her again but decided not to. He had already thanked her and he didn’t want to over due it. “ I... I have to admit that I’ve never camped out before. He was unsure why he was admitting this but it was too late now. “ Do you came out often?”

Mekura chuckled when the Gastly seemed to get over joyed at her licking the rock from him. Giving him back his rock she went inside and checked to make sure everything was still in order. Hana had already made the cave nice and warm. The sun having set a minute a go left the cave in darkness until Mekura pulled out a small flashlight and clicked it on. Letting it illuminate the cave she crouched near her bag and pulled out a couple apples and a couple of oranges. Risa was already giving all the pokemon a ration of poke-food to eat. They would get more in the morning.
Mekura felt the shock come from Kero as she looked over in his direction. At his confession she grinned like she had won a prize. "Risa you lost the bet. You get to sleep with Kaiyou tonight." Risa gave her a sullen look before giggling and setting food out for Gastly and Swablu. Taking her ration she grabbed Togepi and sat near Hana to eat. Mekura handed him an apple, an orange and a pecha berry. "I do. Almost every night. Though it would be better if there were some trees." She liked sleeping in trees the best. Sitting next to Hana she started to peel her orange while Togepi tried to share her food with Mekura.
"No I don't need it Kaiyou. See? I'm eating an orange." Showing her orange to the baby pokemon she ate a slice of it. Tilting her head she contemplated asking her own questions. "So where ya headed?" Hana opened an eye at all the noise and puffed out a sigh before curling her tails around Mekura, Risa, and Kaiyou.

Kero rubbed the back of his head a little embarrassed to find out they had a bet on him. At least it answered the question he had been thinking about before. Mekura had set the beds up before Kero had even had a chance to ask for help. It seemed he had been very lucky and very unlucky today. He was a bit shocked when she told him she slept outside almost every night. “ That would be an interesting life.” He stated trying to think what it would be like. With that sort of life Kero figured she got to do things when and where she wanted. She wouldn’t have people always telling you how to dress, where to go, what you needed to do that day and how you needed to act. “ Thanks…” he took the fruit Mekura handed him and set them onto his lap before beginning to peal the orange. Haunter and Swablu had no rejections to the food given to them and began eating right away. They all ate silently for a while listening to Mekura talk to her Togepi. It wasn’t until she asked Kero a question before he looked up again. “ I was heading to Anvilla. They had some pressing issues they wanted me to attend to there.” Most likely it was something boring about the trading system there. That or issues with the taxes or something else along the lines. He hated dealing with those things but it was his duty as a Count. He had no choice but to deal with the things that helped his Duchies. “ I’m sure it wasn’t nearly as urgent as they were claiming it was.” It was why he had no problem exploring the gorge a bit before making it to the city.

Mekura nodded her head at his comment. She probably would still be at home if her mother hadn't of died. Her mother liked to make sure Mekura stayed where she knew it best. "It is. You make wonderful friends while your at it. Oh that reminds me now that its nighttime." Pulling out two poke balls she let loose Kaze her surskit and Uzu her poliwag. Uzu immediately stayed near the pokemon she already knew. She was just a tad shy around others. Kaze on the other hand had no problems going over to Gastly and Swablu.
Smiling he introduced himself to them. <Hello! I'm Kaze.> Wondering over to Risa he got his and Uzu's rations and went over to her. He was always urging her to make new friends but she seemed to like to keep to herself anyways. Poking her forehead he started to eat. Uzu ate a little bit slowly as she looked over the other pokemon. Togepi ate up her food and offered the last piece to Mekura since she didn't think that fruit filled her up. Sighing Mekura took the piece and popped it in her mouth chewing and swallowing quickly. "There I ate it okay?" Togepi squealed and went over to the bag poking it. Mekura smiled and pulled out three shiny rocks she had collected for this purpose.
Magic Tricks. Listening to him she nodded and sat Togepi in front of her while Risa crawled in to her lap and clapped her hands together to get the other Pokemon's attention. "Pokemon young and old come gather round for Kaiyou has called for a show tonight!" Togepi was set into Giggles since Mekura only did this about three times a week depending when she wanted to see the magic tricks Mekura and Risa had come up with. Uzu quickly finished her food and made her way over to sit next to Kaiyou while Kaze practically swallowed his food whole to make it over to sit in front of Mekura and Risa.

Kero was a little shocked to see that she had even more pokemon. He only had the three though someday he hoped to gather some more. Someday soon. That was… as long as Charizard didn’t pick on them too much. Gastly stuck out his tongue when Kaze came over to them. Swablu on the other hand simply raised her wing and waved a bit before going back to eating. Gastly introduced himself and Swablu after Kaze gave his name. Swablu just didn’t seem interested in making new friends. It seemed she had the same shyness as Uzu, Though that had been clear when she had first refused to say hello to Mekura when they were outside. Kero had finished pealing the orange and began to eat it as he watched the tiny baby pokemon attempt to feed Mekura again. He couldn’t help but smile as Mekura finally gave in and ate it. He was almost jealous of how well she worked with pokemon. She would defiantly excel in anything she wanted to do with pokemon. Kero had no doubt in that. Swablu had finished eating before Gastly and made her way over to a rocky shelf to sit on. Though as she set her tiny feet upon the rock she noticed that the thing was rather dirty. Not being able to hold herself back she instantly began to clean and polish it with her wing. Who ever made this cave really needed a new maid. Kero and Gastly, however, had been distracted by Mekura’s sudden announcement to gather around for a show. Gastly quickly floated over to see what was going on while Kero just smiled and went to eating the apple. Kero had a feeling gastly was going to really enjoy this. The pokemon loved plays, magic and the such.

Mekura didn't disappoint anyone as she waited for them all to pick a spot. Risa grinned as Mekura tossed the rocks up and down in her hand. Slowly one by one they vanished and Risa opened her hands to show all three rocks. Closing her hands then opening them they disappeared only to appear back in Mekura's hands Risa crawled out of her lap and climbed up to Mekura's shoulders to look out at their audience. Though she giggled as she spotted the Swablu cleaning the cave wall. Cave's were always dirty. Being careful to watch Mekura's hands but not make it look like she was she waved to Togepi who was giggling from her spot.
Mekura waved a hand back and forth over her hand and slowly one by one the stones disappeared. Shaking her sleeves out she showed she didn't have them then made a fist and slowly unrolled her fingers showing three stones from before. She kept it up for another fifteen minutes before she heard Kaiyou start to yawn. "Alrighty time for bed." With one last trick she placed the rocks back in their pocket and pulled Risa off her shoulders. Picking up Kaiyou she placed both her psychic near Hana as she used a couple of blankets to cover them. Mekura stretched and looked in Kero's Direction. "When you decide to go to sleep just flick the flashlight off.
Picking up Uzu she covered her up and laid her next to Hana. Kaze stood up stretching before he made his way over to Hana. Laying down he snuggled against Hana. Mekura laid down using Hana as a pillow and stretched out. Closing her eyes she wondered if she would dream in color again and what it would be about. Her dreams were always weird. Trees were red and grass was purple. Mostly cause she never really learned the proper colors of things. Even Risa thought it was funny when she tried to color pictures.

Kero watched the magic show quietly though his mind was busy with other thoughts. Mostly the same thing went over and over again in his mind. He needed to become stronger. Not only with his pokemon trainning but with his own physical trainning. Perhaps he could find someone who would be able to teach him how to use the sword he carried with him. Then perhaps he could actually get the blade sharpened. Though even with the idea of learning how to use a sword he didn’t feel better. Would he really feel stronger with that? He needed more power. He needed respect from the other nobles. From his towns people… Gastly was watching the magic show with awe. He really couldn’t figure out how Mekura was making the stones vanish. Swablu on the other hand was still cleaning the cave. She had made her way off the rock, across part of the floor and on to the wall. It looked like she was rather determined to get it clean. Luckily Kero looked up from his thoughts and noticed her cleaning had moved from the rock. With a small smile he picked her up and set her on his lap. He knew very well that she would spend all night cleaning the cave is someone didn’t stop her. He began to rub her sides softly causing her to close her eyes and calm down. If there was one thing she loved most it was having her sides and head messaged. When the magic show ended Gastly let out a rather long yawn. He then gave his goodnights before heading over to Kero sleepily and returning to his pokeball. He preferred to sleep inside the pokeball rather then outside of it. It kept him from floating off somewhere while sleeping. Kero nodded to Mekura when she asked him to turn off the flashlight once he was ready to sleep. He spent a bit longer messaging Swablu before finally leaning over and flicking it off. He then laid down setting his good arm above his head and his hand one over his stomach. Both his arm and side were throbbing which he knew was going to make it rather hard to fall asleep right away. So instead he just laid there thinking things over again in hopes that his mind and body would eventually let him get some rest. He was least grateful for having a place to lay down. If it weren’t for Mekura he would have been outside without any hope of getting any rest.

Mekura could feel the pain radiating off him which made her ache in sympathy. Sighing she wondered if Risa had dozed off yet. Poking the psychic who moved slightly and patted Mekura's head. Getting up the small pokemon walked over to Kero yawning. Rubbing her eye she reached out with one hand and touched his healing side. Letting loose a Healing pulse that would take the ache away. Another Yawn and she returned back to Mekura and cuddled Togepi close. Soon she was out. Mekura yawned and stretched pulling both psychics close.
When morning came Risa was the first awake. Looking about she stretched and patted Mekura to get her to rise. Mekura blinked open her eyes from a colorful dream to blackness. Sighing she got up and started pulling out food for everyone. That way if they were hungry when they woke they could eat something. Risa took her helping and walked outside to eat. Mekura moved around efficiently as she packed up blankets that weren't being used. Uzu woke up next and started to eat her helping of poke food before she went back into her poke ball. She didn't like the desert.
Kaze woke up slowly as usual and looked about the dark cave. Yawning he got up and ate his portion and put himself back in the ball to sleep longer. Hana woke up after Kaze and looked about. Spotting togepi still sleeping next to her she laid her tails on her. Mekura made a makeshift sling and picked Togepi up placing her in it. Putting the flashlight in her bag she went out side to soak up some of the heat. Hana looked at the boy and wondered when he would wake up.

Kero opened his eyes when he felt the soothing feeling suddenly take over his side and arm. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked over just in time to see the small pokemon sleepily walking back to her trainer. “ Thanks.” he whispered after Risa before closing his eyes again. With the pain down he found himself asleep for a good few hours. He only woke once that night not because of the pain but simply because he was not use to such an atmosphere as in the cave. He was use to a building with a bed and only him inside. Sure Chairzard was almost always out of his pokeball but he preferred to sleep outside. Luckily it hadn’t taken Kero long to fall asleep a second time. Kero hadn’t woken again until Mekura and a few of her pokemon were already awake. Though his eyes were still closed he had a sudden feeling someone was closely watching him. Staring straight into his face… When he willed himself to open his eyes he found Swablu sitting right there in front of him. Her tiny beak was almost touching his nose she was close. Even with his eyes opened she continued to stare at him like a robot who wouldn’t blink. “ I’m up, I’m up” Kero assured the bird as he sat up and rubbed his head. Slowly his pale brown eyes looked around the cave noticing that some of the things had been cleaned up and Mekura was missing. He then stood up and went to stretch but only made it half way when the muscles in his left arm and stomach began to ache. As he turned around to tidy the blankets he had used he was shocked to see Swablu trying her very best to fold the blankets the same way it had seen Mekura fold hers. It was a rather funny site as the poor pokemon was too small despite her efforts was having a hard time with the big blanket. “ Here let me help you” Kero told the bird as he straighten out the blanket and held up on side for her to take with her little feet. She took it and flew to the other end of the blanket before he lifted up another end for her to take. Sure enough the entire bed was folded up neatly. Kero turned and made his way outside once Swablu was settled on his shoulder. “ Good morning.” he greeted Mekura when spotted her. He hadn’t had a chance to say anything more when the pokeball on his side began to wiggle and soon enough Charizard came out with a flash of light. The pokemon looked much better then he had the other night after the battle. Instantly he turned towards Kero and lowered his snout to the young man’s belly checking if he was ok. The hot breath from Charizard was blowing all over Kero’s stomach which made him laugh as he attempted to push Charizards head away, “ Im fine Charizard”

Togepi yawned and rolled in the sling then silently went back to sleep. She had wore herself out fighting the hypnosis and sleep yesterday. Hana watched the swablu next who was sitting on his chest watching her trainer. Chuckling she got up and stretched out her legs. Walking out of the cave she brushed against Mekura and got a scratch behind the ears. Jumping up onto the flat rock she had claimed yesterday she stretched out on her side soaking up the sun. Today they would go to the Oasis for a little water time for Uzu and Kaze. They would be happy about that.
Risa heard the rusting and knew Mekura had heard it also. Walking in she watched the boy fold the blankets with Swablu. Walking in she took the folded blankets and started packing them in the bag. Once it was packed she Used Telekinesis to carry the bag out into the sun. It was too heavy for her to try and lift by herself. She didn't even know how Mekura did it. Mekura pulled an Orange out of the bag as it was set next to her and tossed it to Kero to eat. "Morning." Before anything more could be said she felt his pokemon let himself out. Risa sent her pictures of the big pokemon.
Mekura smiled as she heard him laugh over Charizard's inspection. "Don't worry I got him all patched up. Good thing you can fly cause he definitely won't be climbing out of here." Pulling an Apple out of her bag she started to eat it while she felt Togepi actually start to wake up. She was pretty sweet when she was first waking up. Togepi yawned squeakily before sitting up in the sling that Mekura had her in. Looking about she spotted the new pokemon and only smiled before she latched on to Mekura to cuddle for a bit. Mekura smiled and used one hand to hold her close while she ate her apple.

Kero had caught the orange when she tossed it to him and let out a small “Thanks”. However he hadn’t had enough time to start pealing it before Charizard had began inspecting him.
Charizard looked up at Mekura when she spoke before turning to Kero and giving him one more look up and down. He then nodded as if to say she had done a good job. Really he was saying ‘a good enough’ job. Not that Charizard would have been able to do any better. In fact he probably would have hurt Kero more. Charizard wasn’t very good at being gentle about anything. Charizard suddenly stood up rather straight as if he just now realized the comment on him being able to fly. He was a rather proud flyer. Sure he wasn’t as great of a flyer as Pigeot or Dragonite but he liked to think he could match them. Luckily his ego on flying wasn’t as big as his ego on fire. When it came to being the strongest fire pokemon Charizard believed he was by far the best. He really wasn’t and had been beaten by other fire pokemon before but for some reason he just kept on thinking he was better anyways.
“He means to say thank you” Kero spoke up as he began to peal the orange Mekura had given him. While he pealed away he decided silently to himself that he and Charizard would get out of her hair the moment he was finished eating. Most likely she had things she wanted to do today and Kero knew he had to get to the city before they started to send out search parties for him. Not because they would be worried about him but simply because they would want him to get the work he needed to do done.

Mekura chuckled as she felt the approval of the Charizard then the pride came. Ah so he liked to be prided huh? This time she laughed and made her Togepi look around confused. "Your Welcome." Though she was still stifling a chuckle. Togepi upon spotting the giant pokemon wanted to hug him. Since she was still sleepy she tapped Mekura and pointed at the Charizard, Kaiyou had forgotten Mekura couldn't see what she was pointing at. Risa helped her out and sent her the image of the Charizard.
Smiling Mekura walked over and tapped the charizard lightly. "Would you mind cuddling Kaiyou for a few? She seems to want to cuddle with you for a minute or two." Togepi held her tiny arms out to the Charizard hoping he would let her hug him. Plus he looked warm and she liked to be warm when she wasn't playing on the ice of the lake. At least spring was around the corner. That meant lots of grass to play games in!
Risa watched and tilted her head wondering if the Charizard would cuddle the baby pokemon. She was guessing no, but maybe. He seemed like the prideful sort. Hana sat up to look at the Charizard. If he didn't hold her Hana would be their to cuddle the baby. She was very cuddly when she was half awake and half asleep. It was cute to her mind of thinking. Actually maybe they could find her a mate. She wouldn't mind having Little babies running around her all the time.

A look of utter shock came across Charizards face when Mekura brought the Togepi over to him asking if he could cuddle it. He let out a rather odd sounding growing that almost sounded as if he was asking, “Huh?” His eyes than narrowed and he was about to growl at Merura and the baby pokemon in order to claim there wasn’t a hope in hell that he would cuddle with some lesser creature. However, in the corner of his eyes he noticed the look on Kero’s face. As he turned to get a full glance of the expression Kero held he could tell he was getting a very stern look. That was a look Kero wore when Charizard was about to do something he was going to get into trouble for. It caused the large fire pokemon to let out a defeated sigh and turned to look back at the Togepi. With yet another huff he lowered his head down a bit so that Kaiyou could reach him and give him a hug. It was about as much cuddling as one was going to get from the Charizard. After all, just showing a soft spot was damaging his pride.
Kero had to keep himself from laughing at the broken, painful look on Charizards face as he rubbed his head against the Togepi. It almost made him wish he could take a picture of it. Swablu on the other hand was not to tactful and began laughing and chirping at the sight. She would defiantly tease him later and demand hugs as well. “That will be a one time sight” Kero teased a bit as shoved a piece of the orange into his mouth.

Mekura could feel him almost shudder at the thought. It made her want to laugh. Pursing her lips together she swallowed the laugh and just smiled. When he finally bent his head down Togepi smiled and hugged. Patting his head gently she giggled and clung to Mekura again. Hana who had been watching the whole thing decided he couldn't be all that bad. Hauling herself up she walked over and let Mekura set the Baby on her back. Kaiyou immediately snuggled into her soft fur. Mekura turned back to charizard and gave him a hug herself.
"You are a very strong intelligent pokemon." Yeah she would probably bloat his ego but it was worth it considering he let Kaiyou hug him. Letting him go she hauled on her pack and pulled the maps out. Laying them out on the flat rock Hana had been laying on she kept them from Kero's site while she plotted a path and checked her route again. The maps would have given her away since they were in braille. From Risa's images she needed to go back up the other wall from here. Hana could carry Togepi now that she was out and about while Risa helped her climb back up the wall. Folding the maps she stuffed them back in the pocket.
Risa wondered over with the hat on again and let Mekura pick her up and put her on her shoulders. Mekura looked back over at Kero and thought about it. Then tossed the idea out of her head. "Well we need to head out if we are going to keep to our time schedule. Have a safe trip." Hana moved to her side while Risa was showing her hand holds and foot holds on the wall. Mekura was hoping they would leave first so she could climb up the wall with out being humiliated. She didn't like asking for help since she figured she could do anything a normal person could do with a little accommodating.

Kero shoved the last piece of his orange into his mouth and stood up just as Mekura set the Togepi onto Hana’s back. He was about ready to go. But it seemed Charizard was still a bit busy. The big lizards eyes had widened with shock when Mekura hugged him and gave him a complement. The expression on Charizard’s face made Kero chuckle a bit. But soon enough he words got to his ego and he held his up high and proud. Of course he was strong and intelligent. He was pretty sure he was the most extraordinary Charizard around.
As Mekura was looking at the map Kero went to gather his things, returning Swablu to her pokeball. Once everything was ready, which wasn’t much, he made his way back to Charizard and looked towards Mekura. It appeared she was ready to head out as well. “You as well, and… thank you again.” He replied to her, giving a small bow before climbing up onto Charizards back. It was a bit harder to climb up using only one arm but he managed. It seemed Charizard had noticed this and lowered himself a bit more to make it easier. Hopefully they didn’t run into any troublesome weather on the way to the city.
As Charizard spread his wings Kero waved to the others before they were off into the air. In a way Kero was sort of happy he had met Mekura and even perhaps Nero. They had taught him some things about himself and the others around him, however small it could be.
