The day was still dark when Susan left the home she was staying in. The sun had yet to kiss the sky and the chill of the night still clung to the grass. She embraced the cold as she ran, letting it fuel her desire to go faster, farther, and build more warmth. Alongside her ran Sparky, the pup no longer a pup despite his small size. He could probably outrun Susan quite easily, but kept pace with her instead... at least for the most part. Everyonce in a while a bird would catch his attention and he would bark at the creature happily. Susan was glad he didn't chase into them as he might have once done. This place was turning out to be exactly what she thought it had been. A challenge. The wild pokemon here were almost savage compared to even the remote pokemon back in her forest.<br/><br/>Susan had been offered a room to stay in. In return, Susan helped out in the fields however she could. She wasn't particularly practiced with farming but between her, Sparky and Stumpy they got a lot of heavy lifting done. It was good exercise for the lot of them and it was even better for discipline for Stumpy. Said pokemon was not currently floating behind her, not as fast or as strong as Sparky was, yet also not struggling too much to keep up with his trainer. In a few hours, Susan would have to return, as they'd be starting with the fields again. But for now she had time... time alone to herself to relax and enjoy the cool breeze as it flowed against her stomach and hair.<br/><br/>The bay was where she had chosen to run. The shores served to give her a few noteable landmarks that she could use to find her way back. Admittedly, she was also not against the idea of finding a water Pokemon to battle. She had been hoping to catch one for some time, though she probably needed to get a few more pokeballs before that would be a simple task. And only Stumpy was really suited to fighting them, her weaker of the pair that she had. She looked back to her companions and gave a smile, one that earned a happy bark and an equally happy sound upon the wind. Then she turned her eyes ahead again, scanning for a fight, looking for something she thought she could take, and ready to either pounce or run in the opposite dirrection depending on what she found.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
