<b><span style="font-size: 15px">Round Primary</span></b><br/><br/>As Eleyna expounded on what had transpired, she was able to take a few deep, calming breaths. She didn't like being surrounded like this, like she was a victim to be coddled.<span style="color: blue">Look,</span>she said, levelly as she took another breath.<span style="color: blue">I'm fine. We're not dead. I just need some time to dry off, that's all. </span><br/><br/>She got up and walked away from the group, putting a short distance between herself so that she could decompress. She lie down on sand and stared up at the sky. She scrunched up her nose, in frustration. Twice now!<i>Twice</i>she had been ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. And she had nothing to show for it at all. No Pokemon, no experience, nothing. How the hell was she supposed to become a<i>trainer</i>if she hadn't anything to train? If she had her own Pokemon, then she could have told it to quickly escape with her at the waterfall, avoiding the Milotic's ire. If she had a Pokemon, then she could have caught other Pokemon, could be training them, helping them hone their skills, develop strategies! She had a compendium of advice and teachings from her mother in her head and not a single way to use them!<br/><br/>For a brief moment she reconsidered her refusal from Naomi to be given the Farfetch'd she had caught. It didn't tkae more than a moment for her to dismiss the thought. She couldn't be handed a Pokemon that someone else had been caught. She had to earn it, had to capture it herself. She wasn't a little girl anymore looking for handouts. This was the<i>wild</i>where the truest test of a trainer could be found. She couldn't start here on charity, though she couldn't imagine how she would start otherwise. She didn't dare try to get Growlithe to help again. So what choice did she have left?<br/><br/>She looked back at everyone at camp, thinking to herself.<i>Well, what if I caught a Pokemon, but I just didn't use one of my own to battle?</i>She wondered. She could ask to battle with one of theirs, capture her first Pokemon and use that one!<i>Oh no, that's a terrible idea. After the field and now this whole mess, who would trust me with their Pokemon?</i><br/><br/>She closed her eyes and turned her face upward toward the sky. The sun was well into the afternoon of its traversal, and was warm on Eleyna's water logged clothes, slowing turning them from wet to just damp. Things did feel hopeless where she was now, like she had a cliff on one side and a sheer drop on the other. She couldn't move, on, couldn't find the next step in being a trainer because she couldn't take her first. But wasn't that the point of it, she wondered? Out here nothing was handed to you, if you wanted to proceed, to become the greatest, you had to fight for it. It wasn't supposed to be easy. And when things get tough, sometimes you had to ask for a little help.<br/><br/>She sat up. It wasn't easy. It was never going to be easy. Moping around wasn't going to change that. She nodded to herself and stood up, marching with a purpose toward the camp, oblivious to how her breasts bobbed beneath her shirt without a bra.<br/><br/><span style="color: blue">Aisha!</span>She said, standing before the trainer, a fiery determination n her eyes.<span style="color: blue">I need a Pokemon, and I can't get one without some help. I'm asking your permission to use Charlie to capture a Pokemon. I've got potions and I'll make sure when he's back, he's healthier than ever.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">Lake Zone</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 15px"><b>Afternoon</b></span><br/><br/><b>Immediate area/short distance away:</b><br/><br/>At Shore:<br/>Camp site.<br/>•	Fire pit at the shore, a small fire burns, providing warmth.<br/><br/>At Shoals (North):<br/>Rocky terrain.<br/>•	Rocky terrain rises and forms around a small inlet where a river runs from the mountains to the lake in a small waterfall pouring down on the shallows.<br/>•	Shoals hold many crevices, Pokemon Encounter Zone.<br/><br/>At Field (East):<br/>Clearing on the edge of tall grass.<br/>•	Tall grass can hide many thing, Pokemon Encounter Zone.<br/>•	Clearing of solid earth, shows signs of Pokemon battle.
