<b>Steven / Eleyna<br/>
</b><br/>Eleyna popped open her Pokedex and pointed it at the Snorlax. She heard Steven behind her standing with one leg upon a rock, arm raised with a golden ray of sunshine cast down from the treetops upon him that he may glitter with the grandeur of his wisdom! At the end she could have sworn she heard a Tyrogue pop up and yell, '<i>Tyrogue, that's right!</i>'<br/><br/><span style="color: #000000">"</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Ooh... You have to wake it up first.</span><span style="color: #000000">" Eleyna learned aloud. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Well how do you do...? What the hell's a <i>Poke'flute</i>?</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>
<br/>
"</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Hmph!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She clapped the Pokedex shut. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Nothing may impede progress!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She grabbed the brim of her hat holding down over her eyes. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">For though a trainer may find obstacles in her path, She will overcome them all!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She pulled the brim up, eyes twinkling with glorious resolution as she clasped her hand into a fist!<br/>
<br/>
Scyther hopped up, pointing grandly with his arm. "</span><span style="color: #006600">Scyther!</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>
<br/>
Eleyna ran at the Snorlax, grabbing tufts of fur as she clamored up onto its huge body. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Haha! Nothing stops Eleyna the Pokemon master!</span><span style="color: #000000">" She went to hop down the other side, slipped and tumbled head over heels to the ground, landing in an upside down lump with her Yukata flopped over her hips and her bare butt sticking up in the air. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Oof~</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>
<br/>
Hovering overhead, Scyther got one look at that shapely rear end and his eyes piratically turned into hearts he fell in love so fast. Eleyna righted herself, shook her head, pushing her Yukata back down. Scyther floated next to her, lovestruck. <br/>
<br/>
"</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Quiet you! anyone asks I landed perfectly!</span><span style="color: #000000">" Though she was quite pleased Steven was still on the other side of the Snorlax and hadn't observed the extent of her graceful landing. <br/>
<br/>
She peered ahead, the canopy above growing denser, casting a dim gloom on narrow path forward. "</span><span style="color: #0000ff">Hey Steven, are you coming or what?</span><span style="color: #000000">"<br/>

<b>Aisha / Lydia / Jake / Naomi</b><br/>
</span><br/>Growlithe gave a grumbling bark back at Aisha when she told him to stay within eye shot. The oppressive heat residing over the area was perfectly pleasant to Growlithe - though he could certainly have done without the overwhelming humidity; Or the sound of the water lapping at the shore of the channel. The damn liquid was devious, confounding, unpredictable, and utterly absurd in large measure! And far more evil... it was<i>wet</i>.<br/><br/>The Pokemon had to begrudge the other humans his presence. He was after his derelict trainer. Who knew what the hell she'd probably gotten herself into without him? But the other meandering primates also needed to find her too. Why? Who the hell knew. The only respectable one among them was that male with the Ivysaur. Now that was a respectable ally! A complete farce of an opponent to one so grand as he, Growlithe certainly knew, but never the less. The Pokemon had the fighting spirit, and that merited respect, and respect to the one who caught him.<br/><br/>Growlithe gave a demanding bark to them, intent on making sure they were keeping in step. He was deliberately skirting the taller grass and foliage of the fields, not looking for a fight - though he had the desire for one. It didn't feel right fighting without that damnable black haired woman yelling at him. Oh what a cruel and ironic turn his life had taken that he, the once mighty Growlithe of his pack, destined to lead them, was now beholden to the daughter of that scheming minx that kidnapped him inside that damn red and white ball of lies.<br/><br/>He could smell that Eleyna and the other male were north. It was so hot out that determining that was not difficult. In fact the longer the two had been there, the easier tracking them was going to become. Even so, unless he was mistaken they were a long way from them.<br/><br/>Far overhead a large bird pokemon cast a dark silhouette on the blue sky.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
