It was relatively nice considering it was winter everywhere else. The Oasis water's shimmered slightly in the light. Thin clouds passed through the sky as several pokemon ran around in the sand. Two of which were a shiny umbreon and a shiny Eevee. The ghost type quickly vanished into the sand with what looked like a sketch book. The ralts was sitting by the waters with an Abra that seemed to be looking over her as well as having a long conversation. A girl with red hair and emerald green eyes sat a top a sand dune with her other sketch book. Her hand was moving across the page easily as she sketched her pokemon.
A squeak emanated from her as the Haunter appeared beside her and licked her. Giggling she shooed him off to play with the other Pokemon. With one more lick he took off to show the eevee the picture of himself in the notebook. Rikka giggled and pulled her cap down over her head. It was to keep the sun out of her eyes while she drew her pokemon having fun. A Furret ran up to her with a ball. Taking it she tossed it for him. He loved finding things and playing games with the others. Smiling she started on the smaller details of the drawing. Ten minutes later she finished it and it instantly left her lap and was replaced with her other one. "Haunter!" Haunter smiled at her and took off to show the others where he was in the picture.
Her Abra seemed to point out that they were all in the picture but Rikka. He frowned slightly then went back to showing off the picture and admiring it. Smiling Rikka tossed the ball for Raikiri again. By now Moon and night were chasing it also. Stretching Rikka leaned back and used her pack as a pillow. It was such a nice change considering her adventure into the Haunted Grove.

The endless sand around the Oasis proved to be a trial of endurance despite the fact that the air had cooled some. Walking through with a quiet step, what appeared to be a boy sighed to himself as he went. Followed closely by him was a Gochimu who seemed to be looking at his master with a worried look now. The pale human form said nothing but simply kept walking in silence prompting the Gochimu to stay silent as well. As the sight of the water in the distance caught Nero Ishi's eye, the young girl who wielded the appearance of a boy to a T and named herself as much, seemed to liven if only a bit. "We've finally made it, Asa," Nero Ishi sighed outwards in her somewhat deep voice. The Gochimu grinned and then seemed to run ahead of his mistress and straight towards the water. Nero sweat dropped but kept at her normal pace not saying anything more. They had been traveling for too long, and she was tired to say the least of things.

Rikka tossed the ball again and smiled. Haunter had given up showing the other pokemon when he spotted a New pokemon coming toward the Oasis along with a person. Grinning he disappeared into the sand and popped up in front of the new person trying to lick him. They went about to pointing himself out in the sketch. Haunter grinned very proud then took off after the new pokemon to show the sketch to him. Moon stopped fetching the ball to watch Haunter try and lick someone. Tilting her head she watched him point himself out in the sketch then go after a pokemon who was running for the Oasis. Moon chuckled then ran after the ball with Night. Furret had given up the chase to go searching for something. Mostly looking for something shiny like his spoon.
Rikka sat up and looked behind her. Noticing a person she smiled and waved apparently not the least bit shy. Taking the ball she tossed it again for Night and Moon. Ralts walked up to Rikka to see who she was waving at. Abra followed along a bit more lazily and sat down again once they had reached Rikka.

Being that the lick resembled the Ghost form of Lick, Asa froze upon being licked and seemed to suddenly turn and run straight back behind Nero. Nero blinked and then looked behind herself to see the Gochimu cowering now, and all the young woman could do was sigh rather dryly before looking back towards the Haunter. In all instances, Haunter were dangerous creatures to Nero and her pokemon, and Nero herself found her stomach tighten for half a second before she noticed the trainer not far off. Ah...Alright then. Nero kept her calm face as she always had it but managed an even smaller wave of her hand than Rikka had prompted. Reaching down and picking up the Gochimu, Nero now held it in front of herself and started walking rather slowly once more towards the water as though trying to ignore the ghost pokemon at least until she got to the water. Upon reaching the water, Nero breathed out and sat down rather quietly. Asa wriggled his way out of her arms then and there and jumped in the water happily enjoying the change. "Hello..." Nero managed in her normal all but monotone voice towards the other woman.

Rikka blinked and watched the Gochimu run from her Haunter. The trainer even seemed a bit weirded out by her haunter. "Haunter! Get over here or I'm not drawing you again!" Blinking the Haunter looked to Rikka then the new people and sulked slightly before going back to Rikka. Staying next to her he flipped through the notebook to look at the drawings. Moon dropped the ball near Rikka and waited for it to be tossed again. Smiling Rikka tossed the ball and picked her pencil up and put it away in her pack. Cloud glanced at the new Trainer and pokemon and wondered slightly before he laid back in the sand. Kiki sat and stayed near her friend Abra. Furret jumped into the water then came back out soaking wet with a shiny rock. Going over to the Gochimu he offered the shiny rock to share with him.
Haunter looked at bit sad that he wasn't allowed to go and greet the Trainer and her pokemon. Sighing he disappeared into the sand where he could look at the sketch book by himself. He just wanted to show the trainer the picture Rikka had drawn of him. Rikka watched him disappear with the sketch book and sighed. Laying some food out for him she smiled at the trainer. "Hello. I'm Rikka."

Nero seemed to relax a bit more after the Haunter seemed to move back towards his trainer. After a moment, she nodded her head at the introduction and then slid off her sandals and put her feet in the water. The water was chilled yet refreshing in parallel to the sand that seemed to go on forever and offer little help in anything. Staring down into the water a moment, Nero looked down at her pale features reflected back up at her as though she were looking at something else or someone else maybe. After another moment of silence, the dark haried girl looked back towards the other girl. "My name is Nero," the dark haired woman answered back in her rather lackluster voice. It was rare for her to use so many words in one sentence, yet she believed it might have been taken out of context otherwise. Asa splashed in the water happily and then caught sight of the Furret. Seeing the shiny object it had, he was instantly distracted by it and seemed to watch it carefully before finally grinning and holding out a hand for it. He was young and very much a child in his own right, and being as such, he remained easily distracted by things. "Gochi..........." he stated as though using the words 'give me'.

Rikka watched the trainer and giggled when Night crawled up beside her. "Night. Your fine. Go play with Moon!" Night glanced at her then ran off to play with Moon who was keeping the ball away from him. Laying back Rikka looked to see if the food was gone yet. It was gone though Haunter wasn't showing himself now. "Nice to meet you Nero." Noticing Nero didn't seem to want to talk Rikka left it at that and held Poke food in her hand trying to get Haunter to give her sketch book back. Shaking her head she waited. Soon as he popped up she took her Sketch book and took off running. Haunter blinked and ate the food she dropped then went after Rikka. "Haunter~!" Rikka looked behind her and grinned. Looking forward she squeaked and fell backward as Haunter licked her. "I'm going to draw!" Sitting up she shook the sand from her hair and smiled. Getting up she walked back to her pack while Haunter floated around happy once more.
Furret chuckled and handed over the shiny rock. Diving back down he searched for a few more and crawled back up on to the sand. Watching the Gochimu he smiled. He liked the young pokemon but of course Raikiri usually like pokemon in general. Glancing the light off the rocks he had he smiled and ran up to Rikka to show he the shiny rocks. "Very Nice Raikiri." He nodded and put them in his pocket on the pack. Running back to the water he dove in and went looking for more. Ralts watched the actions of the other pokemon and let out a small smile. Abra by now had fallen asleep on the warm sand.

Upon catching sight of the Ralts, Nero blinked slowly. "Are you a psychic trainer?" she asked instantly wishing to retake the question. The obvious ghost pokemon led to the assumption that there was no secular decision on a species. The other girl was probably just a regular trainer. However, Nero left the question in the air in the end of it all. Taking out a pokeball, Nero released her male Shiny Gardevoir who stretched his arms up as he was released. Gavin yawned a moment and then noticed the young Ralts and quickly started over towards her with a smile on his face. <Why hello there, dear> he spoke lightly to the Ralts and kept an easy air about him. Asa grinned at the shiny object and let out a childish giggle before looking back towards the Furret. <Do you collect shiny things?> the male Gochimu asked with a grin on his face. No doubt about it. Asa was far more social than Nero.

Rikka sat down by her pack again and flipped to a new page. Blinking she shook the sand out of her sketch book then looked up at Nero. Rikka smiled and shook her head. "No. But I figured I could use a Psychic pokemon on my team. Especially after I had a roof collapse on me while I was battling Haiiro." Smiling she watched the girl release a male Gardevoir. A shiny at that. Kiki looked up and noticed the Gardevoir then went back to watching the other pokemon.
Kiki seemed to be a bit withdrawn as she looked back at the shiny. ("Hello.") She moved closer to her Abra friend and looked over at Rikka. She watched her new trainer start to draw and looked about to see what she could be drawing. Abra opened one of his eyes and looked at the Gardevoir and let out a sigh. ("Hello.") He sat up and handed a piece of Poke food to Kiki. He liked her new name it suited her.
Raikiri popped up with a few more different colored rocks. Looking to the young pokemon he nodded. ("Yes. They are very pretty. Rikka even has a pocket that I can keep them in.") He smiled and swam over to the Gochimu and held out a blue and green shiny rock.

Nero nodded quietly. Psychics made powerful allies when it came to their powers, yet that was not entirely why she liked them. Instead, it was more because they cough touch people's minds and hearts in most advanced instances. Yes.. they could have their own perfect conversations of sorts, and this was what Nero liked. The dark haired girl did not question the idea of a roof falling in with a battle with someone named Haiiro. Nero believed if it was meant to be told, it would be told in time. Instead, she simply nodded again at the statement. "I have many psychic pokemon..." she finally stated staring back into the water now. The male Gardevoir saw the quiet motions of the Ralts and seemed to understand her nature perfectly in that instant. Bending down a bit, he continued to smile lightly. <Are you new on your team?> he asked gently guessing what was somewhat obvious to one with psychic powers. The Gochimu grinned and took the other rock and looked down at it. <That's cool! I wish Nero'd let me keep the things I find~!> the Gochimu laughed thinking about what he had found before hand and almost seemed to question himself a moment. Well... maybe not everything.....heh.....

Rikka smiled and started on an out line of the Gochimu and her Furret. She liked her Furret cause he would share with anyone. In fact she was surprised that he hadn't gotten out his spoon to show the new pokemon. Looking up she noticed the Gardevoir talking with Kiki. Pulling out some Poke food she handed a bit to each psychic pokemon near her. "Cool. Probably a good thing I don't have my Cyndaquil. She would be pestering the pokemon with questions." Moon watched the pokemon and ran off with the ball. Night panted and followed after Moon trying to get it back. Using quick attack he tackled her to the ground and took the ball then ran away.
Kiki looked at the Gardevoir and listened to his question. ("Yes. Both Cloud and I are new. We decided a change of scene would be nice.") It was apparent Rikka hadn't forced them to be on her team. Rather she had let them choose to come with her. Kiki took the Poke food Rikka offered her and ate it rather slowly. Cloud took a look at the food then basically shoved it into his mouth which got a short laugh out of Kiki.
Raikiri tilted his head and listed to Gochimu. Chuckling he floated on his back in the water. ("I'm Raikiri by the way. What kind of things do you find?") Raikiri watched the light glance off the colorful rocks and smiled. He moved and watched the light reflect off the rock and onto the sand in a pretty red color.

"M...." Nero answered back to the thought of a Cyndaquil. They were fire types and were starters in some areas. "Which pokemon did you have first?" Nero asked wondering a bit how she could feel so at least. Well... breaking it down.....She still wasn't completely at ease. She was tired from roaming in the desert. She hadn't had an assassin job in a week. This was a woman she was talking to. M... yes it seemed to add up at least a bit. The male Gardevoir nodded at this. <Ah... my trainer and I have been together for a few weeks now....> he stated back. <However, I have been with humans in general much longer.> He seemed to nod to himself slowly and then smiled again. <We're a group that need humans as much as they need us...heh> The dark haired woman didn't really take in the sketchbook or the fact that the girl was drawing her pokemon. Instead, she was simply at ease. The Gochimu, however, seemed to suddenly look over towards Nero as though unsure of what to say. He didn't want to bother her too much in case she just got up and left like she sometimes did, but....eh....oh well. After a moment, he blinked and then looked back at the Furret. <Oh my name's Asa... and I find all these shiny and odd things like once I found this HUGE rock in the desert!> Asa exclaimed as he threw his arms up into the air as though to define how tall it was.

Rikka smiled and started on the background a bit before going back to the details of the pokemon. "Actually Moon was my first Pokemon. My mother gave me her as soon as she hatched." Moon looked up as Rikka started to talk about her then went about Tackling the Eevee into the sand. Rolling her wrist a bit she went back to drawing in the details. Slowly the picture came together while Haunter watched over her shoulder. He figured she was pretty good at making pictures come together. And fast too. Haunter looked at the Gardevoir and wondered what he was doing.
Kiki watched the Gardevoir and listened. ("I don't think I will mind Traveling with Rikka. She is very nice.") She ate another piece of food and watched thought about her next answer. She nodded as his statement. Though she happened to have been abandoned by her last trainer. She had a feeling Rikka wouldn't be like that one. ("Rikka is very interesting and tends to get herself in weird situations. Like as Flare said while she was at the Arcane temple the Roof collapsed and would have been stuck in there if it weren't for a Ralts called Isa.")
Furret smiled and listened to Asa talk about the huge rock he had found. ("Well maybe if she will let you keep the small rocks. They are light and easy to carry around.") She chuckled then went on to tell Asa about the Abandoned Barracks and how he had found a shiny spoon. He used elaborate gestures while doing so.

Nero seemed to stop and look at Moon rather carefully now as one looks at something of known value. "My first was a Beldum," she answered back. However, upon reflecting on it, Nero found it untrue. "Well... A Beldum, a Solrock, and a Lunatone," she answered corrected. "They all came at the same time for me." That... was a both an unnerving and and peaceful memory, and after a while, the unnerving part of it won the entire memory a trip to oblivious as Nero shoved it to the back of her mind. Gavin seemed to nod at the words of the young Ralts. <Heh I see... well it is good that she was around then> he answered back assuming the gender from the name that was given. He could have been wrong but...meh.... After a moment, the male Gardevoir allowed himself to sit back fully and relaxed there sitting on his own feet in the odd dress like formation that his state had put to him. At one point in his life, Gavin had wished to have been able to have attained being a Gallade instead of a Gardevoir, but now in the recent times, he was actually completely fine being the way he was. <So what did your trainer name you, by the way?> Gavin asked lightly. <My name is Gavin.>Asa seemed to ponder the idea of getting small objects and then opted to tell Nero when she was less distracted by the other trainer. His psychic connection with the dark haired woman was still shaky to say the least of things, and he had accidentally caused her to faint by speaking in her mind too quickly. It was later found that any sort of distraction or any sort of break in the link seemed to only harm Nero. After a moment, the Gochimu snapped back into the real world and seemed to nod and smile at the Furret.

Moon took the ball back and jumped into the water and swam to the other side. Night took one look at the water and ran along the sand to avoid having to get wet. Tackling Moon he tried to get the Ball back. Rikka smile and looked up at her Umbreon and Eevee. "Eevee was my second. I nursed him back to health and he just stayed with us. Cyndaquil my third because she wanted to travel and explore." Finishing up the picture her sketch book was swiped up as Haunter looked at the picture. Then floated down to show Raikiri. ("Look Look what Rikka drew!")
Furret looked over at the drawing and chuckled. ("She is a great artist. Asa look at the drawing. Rikka drew us in the water.") He smiled and pointed to the sketch that Haunter was holding. The ghost type wasn't bad considering the other one Rikka had run into. This ghost was rather nice and liked to watch Rikka draw.
Kiki watched him relax and wondered why he didn't take the Gallade form that some Males did. Tilting her head she listened and nodded. ("Kiki. We chose it together. This is Cloud.") She pointed to her friend the Abra. Abra nodded and closed his eyes as he listened to the noises around him.

Nero took her feet out of the water finally but didn't slip on her sandals just yet. Instead, she simply ran her feet through the sand. "Have all of your pokemon followed you?" she asked finally looking back towards Rikka with a calm stare. In truth, a great number of pokemon had followed Nero as well, but she did occasionally battle one or two in order to prove herself to them. Asa looked carefully over the picture and finally nodded. It was rather good indeed especially for the water! Grinning, he made a general compliment and then went back to looking at the picture. There was quite a lot to see in a short amount of paper due to the details and what not....meh technical terms escaped him. The Gardevoir seemed to nod at the names and then thought for a moment putting the names to memory and then continuing with the conversation. <I doubt you have tried telepathically speaking with your trainer yet.. but just in case... have you?> he asked lightly.

Rikka watched and rested her head on her knees. Smiling she listened to Nero's question. "Yea. I always give them a choice. It makes for a better friendship." Rikka loved her pokemon and made sure to take care of them first. Which was why she was coming up with a schedule on which pokemon she had out which week or so.
Furret watched as Asa looked over the picture. Haunter seemed rather pleased then flipped to the picture of him that Rikka had first drawn and showed it to Asa. He smiled proudly as he showed the picture to Asa. Raikiri snickered slightly and dove down to bring up a few more rocks. ("I'm Haunter!") Haunter said as he watched the Gochimu.
Kiki watched him and ate another piece of her food. Listening to his question she shook her head. ("No. Not yet...") Kiki knew Rikka wouldn't abandon her but she needed to be sure before she made that connection with her. They had used an Alphabet board she drew to pick out her name. It was nice getting to pick her name.

Nero seemed to nod at this. "Pokemon are very social creatures in the end of it all," she stated aloud watching Asa and the other pokemon around him. He was possibly the oddest pokemon she had being both so prideful yet so easily reduced to tears. After a few seconds, she reached over to her sandals and began to slide them back on. She thought of the pokemon she had seen and the pokemon she actually kept. "I keep very few so that I can raise them to the best of my ability.." the dark haired woman finally stated aloud. "Although I know some who keep many and only hunt for the strongest," she sighed dryly at this thinking at those that were in Kamui's gang that seemed to only focus on strength. Asa looked form the picture to the Haunter and seemed to nod to himself. The pictures were cool, indeed. However, Asa's interest in them was dying fast, and soon enough, the Gochimu simply leaned back and allowed himself to sink back into the water before starting to more or less float there. Gavin seemed to nod at this slowly thinking of the general way he had once touched his first master's mind. It had been a strange experience yet calming at the same time. Nero's mind, despite having Psychic pokemon in it many times always seemed locked to Gavin, and he had to press a few things in order for her to hear his thoughts. However, when those locks were undone, he was able to see what she saw and exchange emotions that would never reach the dark haired woman's face for the way that she was. <You'll find it to be a good experience when you do> the male Gardevoir smiled.

Rikka listened and watched Nero. "Very. Thats what I love most about Pokemon." Rikka looked at Night and smiled. He was one of her favorites just because of his personality. So timid yet when one finally reached past that in him he was a bundle of joy and fun. "I'm learning how to raise many at once. I want to be a breeder. I also want to own a ranch where even Wild pokemon can be safe. Though its going to be a very hard goal to obtain." Her eyes seem to darken slightly at the mention of how people only hunted for strong pokemon then lightened again. "Well the only true strong pokemon is how much it trusts its trainer. Even the strongest can crack if it doesn't trust its trainer."
Haunter watched the curiosity leave the young pokemon and shrugged. He floated off flipping through the pages. He wasn't about to give it back any time soon. Furret came up with some flat stones and walked up onto the sand. ("Watch this. Rikka taught me how to do this.") He tossed the rock at the water on his first try and it skipped twice. Trying again it skipped four times. ("Wanna try Asa?")
Kiki looked at him as he nodded his head. When he finally spoke it was her turn to nod. ("I know. I just don't want to be abandoned again.") With a sigh she cuddled against her friend. Cloud blinked his eyes open and wrapped his arms around Kiki. Rikka had given them a choice to come. More then likely Rikka wouldn't abandon them ever. Or at least he hoped. People changed even if the pokemon didn't.

The dark haired girl turn her head slowly thinking about the dream that had just been expressed to her. A dream.... heh... what would I have dreamed if....if that damn woman hadn't forced her own dream on me.... Nero's face darkened considerably, and she was forced to stare downwards in order to avoid it being seen directly. Oh how she loathed that woman. She loathed her for all that she was and all that she did.... "It sounds like a nice dream," Nero found herself stating aloud. Asa suddenly smirked and looked at the rock. <Sure~> he answered back almost smugly. Releasing a Psychic, the Gochimu raised the rock and then skipped it twelve times on the water before releasing the psychic energy and grinning to himself. He'd cheated, but hey... it was fun and didn't hurt anyone. The Gardevoir looked at the Ralts and the Abra and smiled then and there. <No worries> he smiled. <You also seem to have a good friend there, heh...> An odd wave of nostalgia went over the Gardevoir, yet he refused to show it then and there. No. It wasn't the time to revel in the past experiences.... heh....
