Enso was quiet when she finished speaking, thinking over her questions while Ignis huffed. "So what if I do got a temperment? what are you gonna do about it?" he shot back at her, his tones only half serious though as his long black twin tails gave a flick. "...Before the lab I mainly wandered about. Life was mainly about going from one berry patch to another, but at times I stayed in small pokemon villages to help out." he nodded before laying down slowly, using his tail to coax her off his lap and onto the bedside, wordlessly answering one of her questions."I have fought before...Fighting is serious business and Im afraid I will not be as good at it as your Litten would be. I keep myself fit and able, but beyond that can only do my best..." he then closed his warm brown eyes and sighed softly. "...and you will need to sleep if you are to be at your best too."<br/><br/><br/>-------------------<br/>Salty ocean water sprayed the deck of the speedy yacht as it cut through the ocean waters. In the far distance the visage of a massive chain of islands became progressively more and more visible as time went by.<br/>Professor Hemlock smiled at the sight before turning about to address his assistant. "Alright...We are almost there as you can see. Keep in mind this island is uninhabited and has had very little human contact...Id like to keep it that way." nodding he lifted a hand and motioned to the island. "The chain of islands here are close enough to cross from one to another on foot and are peculiar in the fact that together they seem to provide all kinds of habitat for wild pokemon." lowering his hand he raised a finger, as if to reprimand Illyana. "That being said...there are likely to be some very powerful pokemon here, as well as some that are very rare. If things get too hard for you two then retreat here and let your pokemon rest...One moment you might be fighting Wurmples only to be dealing with a Scizor or Vulcarona the next. Be careful."<br/>Pausing for a moment to let everything sink in he lowered his hands and took a more casual stance. "We will be spending an entire week here, so do not be afraid to hunt and gather to add variety to the food stores. I will find a good space to set up a camp site and will spend today setting up a portable pokemon center here....So that means you will have to work extra hard today as I will be unable to join your adventures."<br/>A soft whistle blew, causing the professor to turn and adjust his glasses, his attention now focused on the looming chain of islands. "...We have arrived." He muttered, a sliver of excitement in his voice.<br/><br/>The island ahead was massive, stretching outwards in either direction. Sand the color and texture of powdered sugar covered the beach like a welcome mat, leading the way to the dense tropical rain forest that cloaked the majority of the island. From farther inland there was a brief clearing of trees, giving a glimpse to a thick looking swamp area that lay at the heart of a massive lake shaped like a crescent moon. The shadow of a single mountain cast darkness over another side of the island, where a more dense and grim looking forest laid in wait...While the mountain itself stretched upwards, its rocky flanks covered by a thin layer of snow towards the top. In the distance a pair of different mountain peaks could be seen, evidence that there was two more islands for them to explore.<br/><br/>With a soft hissing sound of sand on the hull, the ship came to a stop. Turning about to face the companions again the professor motioned to her and her pokemon. "Off you go...and if you find a good place to camp, contact me on the text system on your pokedex. Good luck out there..."
