<b>Steven<br/>
</b><br/>Eleyna gave Steven a look.<span style="color: #000000"> "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">What? There's only three of them!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She caught her voice rising, and quickly quieted herself less she spook the Pokemon. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">You've got two Pokemon, I've got three Poke - I've got two Pokemon...!</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>
<br/>
She pursed her lips and sighed. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Fine... </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">" She hopped down off the rock away from the napping Tauros, a little annoyed. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Some bunch of trainers you all turned out to be...</span><span style="color: #000000">" She muttered quietly to herself, thinking 'w</span><i><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">hat in the world was the point in calling yourself a Pokemon trainer if you never trained Pokemon?' </span></i><span style="color: #000000">She had a twinge of regret for inviting any of them to come along at all at this point! <i>Always with them the shenanigans! </i>A vein pulsed in her forehead. <i>And not one of them had a camera, either! Altogether surprising since they spend all their time just looking at things!</i><br/>
<br/>
Her eye twinged as she detected Steven near her. She twirled, smiled, gave a little wave. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Oh you're probably right anyway, could be trouble! Let's see if we can find something more our speed!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She turned back around, heading on. The smile dropped with her back to Steven, and her brow flattened. Above them in the boughs of the trees a few Metapod hung from branches, passively.<br/>
<br/>
Scyther in the mean time had scrounged a Berry from the shrubbery nearby, paying the two human's only partial attention. </span>Eleyna pulled out her Pokedex as they went, pointing it at a Caterpie she spotted on a branch above, nibbling on a leaf.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"Catterpie. The Worm Pokemon. Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. Caterpie has a voracious appetite. It can devour leaves bigger than its body right before your eyes. For protection, it releases a horrible stench from the antennae on its head to drive away enemies."<br/>
</span><br/><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Below the entry was an annotation. "</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">Appetites for more than leaves! Standard male motivation effective. He tickles! ^.^' </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">"<br/>
<br/>
Elyena furrowed her brow. She's seen these annotations before, for other Pokemon in the Pokedex. It had never particularly occurred to her before, but she suddenly came to wonder if they were, in fact, her mother's. This fact fell upon her as a revelation that she had simply not considered. She'd been too preoccupied with damnable Growlithe to really commit it to thought. But, the Pokedex had been her mother's before her, and even with Naomi's new case, the data remained. <br/>
<br/>
Eleyna damn near tripped over a rock as she stared at the Pokedex, stumbling and flailing her arms wildly before catching herself. <span style="color: #000000">"</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Ehm.</span><span style="color: #000000">" She straightened up, giving Steven a cool look as she straightened her Yukata. <i>Play it cool, play it cool... nothing to see here.</i><br/>
<br/>
Well, the realization that this Pokedex still had her mother's old notes on it was quite exciting! Who knew what wisdom was contained in that little red case?<br/>
<br/>
Eleyna scrolled through the Pokemon entries with wide eyes, though not wide enough to see the large blue and white figure in front of her before she ran flat into it. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Ooof!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She remarked, surprised, and was surprised further as she rebounded backwards from the body. <br/>
<br/>
The Snorlax reached down and scratched his side where she'd run into him. He'd nestled himself between two large rocks, a gnarled tree growing over them, casting its shade on the infamously lazy Pokemon. <br/>
<br/>
Eleyna bounded back, taking an action pose. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Alright, Steven, let me show you how to be a real trainer!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She yelled, pointing. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Scyther, I choose you! Show this Snorlax that nap time is over!</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>
<br/>
Scyther, jumped into the air, wings spreading, he drew back his blade arm, charging with a rush of wind. "</span><span style="color: #00b359">Scy - !</span><span style="color: #000000">"</span></span><br/><br/>And hit the Snorlax, rebounding off the Pokemon's immense body with the grace of a flightless bird. "<span style="color: #00b359">Ther~?</span>"<br/><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"> <br/>
Snorlax yawned wide, scratching his side again. Eleyna's head drooped and planted her hand on her face as Scyther sat up from the ground, bewildered.</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
