After quite some time, after Rose had left and before Sarah called her. Zera and her pokemon had done pretty well, her pokemon had done 7 battles each while Zera in her more stubborn ways had done 9. By now, she noticed she had ran out of potion but had very few berries left, she knew it was not enough to do anymore battles for a bit. "I think that's enough for today, at least until we get to a pokecentre" She said to her pokemon who nodded as the three of them relaxed near a rock after Zera return back to her human form. Since they had been up quite early, Lauren let her digimon out too and group had a little nap toguther. Though Lauren woke up when she heard Sarah and yawned somewhat, before returning her pokemon and having Impmon and Salamon jump back into her laptop.<br/>She walked over to Sarah and winked at her as she said in her flirty friendly tone. "Its Lauren in my human form, remember beautiful?". She then sat next to her and then added "How can I help you Sarah?"<br/><br/>Mike still on his own from the group and after satisfying his digimon curiosity for the time being had been able to battle 5 more pokemon for each of his partners before noticing he was running low on healing items. He had one potion left and about 2 oran berries, "Probably should take a break" He said to himself before seeing a shiny Sentret, his eyes widened at his luck before he remember his situation.<br/>He choose Ninja and used the last of his berries to fully heal her before he then said "Let's do this stealthy, attack it before it notices you". Ninja nodded and quickly moved though the grass before tackling the Sentret with a pound giving her a preemptive strike. Mike also check his phone and bite his lower lip when he remember that Sentret could have run away and he could easily miss out on his chance to catch this shiny. The Sentret clearly annoyed immediately retaliated with scatch, which Ninja dodged before using bubble, which knock the Sentret over before it attack with a another scatch making Contact this time before another well placed bubble knocked it over as Mike quickly threw a pokeball sensing the Sentret was low health and would run away if it had it now. The ball shook three times and dinged which made Mike sigh in relief as he picked up the ball. He sent Sentret out and discovered she was female and had Frisk as her ability. "I think I'll call you Strips" He said to her with a smile as he stroked her head which got a cute purr from her, Mike also was able to sense she had something different in her aura, but he could not put his finger on it. He healed her with his last potion and then introduced her to the rest of his team with Strips immediately becoming friends with Renamon and sitting on her shoulder.<br/><br/>Derek offer Joker and his partners some of the food that he had cooked before answering his question "Well, yes and no, Pokemon can free themselves from balls if they want but there forever bounded to whoever caught them until they decided they don't want them. Certain pokemon are also valued far more then others like Gardevoir, Eevee, Lopunny, Furfru and so on. Plus, with Gijiki, Pokehumans and Pokemorph being a bit more known, certain pokemon are forever caged so they could be used to create more of them since certain people would pay more for them" He told him before checking around to make sure none of their other companions were around before adding in a whisper so only Joker would hear him<br/>"To most humans, epically those that would be consider evil or undesirable, they view things like this for lowest to highest. Pokemon, Pokemorph, Gijinka, Pokehumans and then humans at the top, controlling everything"
