Jake had, immediately at getting a spare futon in a nice couple’s home.  Jake was out like a light as soon as he had the mattress rolled out, a pillow and a blanket.  As soon as his head met the pillow on the matress.  It was up to eve to actually pull the blanket over her trainer before she curled up against his side to doze off and, for the first time, they had an actually restfull sleep.<br/><br/>Jake was the first up in the House, the first rays of daylight hitting him and pulling him out of sleep.  That was perfect for him.  After cleaning up a little Jake took his pokemon out to the training field with both of them.  As soon as he was there his focus was on his bulbasaur.  He spent at least two hours until there was a large amount of activity focusing on one thing.  Making sure bulbasaur could understand commands.  Even if he couldn’t understand Jake talking.  He could understand the attack moves and basic move commands.  He would need to if he wanted to battle Brollem.  Eve was useful by demonstrating the basics that were common between the two.<br/><br/>Jake, at the first sign of people moving around with activity, left the open training field and made his way back.  He got there in time to hear the offers from the old man as to ways they could help.  He munched on some food that the couple provided as soon as they saw him since he missed breakfast as he listened to brollem.  And he also remembered what he actually wanted to do.  Why he was training his bulbasaur earlier.  He listened to some of the chosen options from the others.<br/><br/>As they started to split up, Jacob moved over to help some people for a minute, especially since Eleyna and Brollem were speaking to each other.<span style="color: green">“I’d be willing to go help escort Aiko if she would be willing to have me… but I need to ask Brollem.  Will you have time later after we get back for a battle?  I know I wanted to have the challenge to drive the fact home for my bulbasaur that working together with me will make him stronger.  Nothing will do that better than an actually challenging fight.”</span><br/><br/>Even as he spoke, he heard Lydia also offer to go along.  That was definitely sounding better.  He was curious since they had only talked while working yesterday.  Plus actually getting the chance to talk to Akio as well.  What guy could resist?<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
