Illyana had woken up hours before they were supposed to leave that day, mostly to make sure everything was ready to go and she would be alert and prepared. Though a part of it was just so she could get to the shower first, and partly so she could extricate herself from snuggling with Enso and quietly step over Ignis while they still slept. A quick shower, makeup application, and some hair grooming - today back in a tall bun - later, she had her clothing picked out. Her attire she had chosen could be considered a bit more appropriate to being out in the wild, though it was, as typical of her, quite open and freeing. Instead of a bikini with added clothing, Illyana's choice for the day had been a red cotton blouse, unbuttoned and tied off just under the bust, with what was clearly nothing underneath. Adding onto that were a pair of camo-print denim capris, low on the waist, and knee-high brownish-green boots. She had also grabbed what almost looked like a long sleeve military-style jacket - laden with pockets - to wear and only just stopping short of her hips. And of course, the large pack which was now on her back, weighing her down a bit more than she would have liked.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------<br/><br/>She took a deep breath of the sea air, a wide smile on her face. Illyana<i>loved</i>the sea, whether in it or on a boat. Her pokemon were in their balls, which were on a belt she had loosely hanging around her hips, but not so much that it was in danger of sliding off. On her wrist was a rather slim-looking watch, but one that, when Illyana touched the matte black screen that was the 'watch face', opened up to a holographic HUD. Checking over the map - and delightedly noting that she had satellite phone reception - she began a running log of her actions and biometrics, just in case. Looking back up, she took stock of the different environments she could sight from the boat itself. Illyana was only half-listening to what the professor was telling her, but nodding along and mostly getting the right idea. "So track and research the indigenous life, hunt for food, set up camp so we have a stable home base, and take notes and observation on the pokemon present. Got it!"<br/><br/>As soon as the boat came to a stop, Illyana leaped off and landed gracefully on the beach sand. The sand underfoot was smooth and incredibly soft, and had she more time, Illyana would have thrown off the boots and walked along the shoreline just to feel it between her toes. She gave Dr. Hemlock a thumbs up to show she understood, and began observing the area around her. The forest bordering it looked lush and incredibly active, she could already hear an incredible amount of noise - from animals and pokemon alike - being picked up by her ears. The pokedex had a function to record and analyze the cries of pokemon, if she recalled correctly. Though at this point, she was less interested in what she would find on the beach itself. Her trainer's mind went to work, trying to figure out what her current team was like, and what they would prefer to deal with. Illyana's eyes landed on the mountain, through the jungle. If she headed off that way, then two environments could be covered easily. Three, if she took a slight detour to the marsh she had seen from the boat. ANd the other side of the island too, was present. Looking at the map and marking a spot further along the base of the mountain, Illyana decided on a destination.<br/><br/>"Heya Enso. You ready to do some walking?" She brought him out first. While Ignis would easily be the best choice given his experience, his words from yesterday meant to Illyana that Enso just needed to get used to this adventuring business. "I know you mentioned you're not super good at fighting, but I'd like you to come with me anyway for now. No worries, I'll make sure to protect you, too!~" With a chipper attitude and a bounce in her step, she headed off into the jungle.
