[color=b35647]‘That’s it, yes.’[/color] The guy says with a little smile and cigarette in hand. [color=b35647]‘We get orders from customers, typically for rare, unusual or cute Pokémon, and we send a grunt to obtain that Pokémon for them. Sometimes there are details, like they have to be a certain level, know a specific move, such things, but generally it’s enough to merely obtain the Pokémon. The operator can usually point the grunts in the right direction for the particular Pokémon. That’s our operations at their core.’[/color] He said, looking to Dawkin. [color=b35647]‘For a bigger paycheck, you CAN take other kinds of jobs… but you don’t have to.’[/color] He continued.

[color=6aa697]‘… And if you say no, we’ll just continue from where we left off.’[/color] The girl said, crossing her arms, glaring at Dawkin. Growlithe and Ducklett both stood ready as well.

[color=b35647]‘Not with the intention to pressure you into joining, mind you.’[/color] The guy noted. [color=b35647]‘Just a natural consequence.’[/color] And he left it at that.

… There’s a light ripple of force going through the water, that only someone who was actually standing in the water could feel, and that was only Dawkin, right now. It made the water wave just the slightest, but it wasn’t anything the two of them noticed. There’s... [i]something[/i] in the water. As for what it was and its overall nature… hard to say. But it’d be quite still after this.

It was a bit hard to hear what hard to hear what the person they were talking to were saying. As they did have limited contact earlier, Donna MIGHT recognize the voice, but likely not as there was a bit of obstruction and such. Donna kept spying, from behind the two individuals. It was, however, far easier to hear what the two others were saying, as they were closer.

[color=b35647]‘That’s it, yes. We get orders from customers, typically rare, unusual or cute Pokémon, and we send a grunt to obtain that Pokémon for them.

[color=6aa697]‘… And if you say no, we’ll just continue from where we left off.’[/color] The girl filled in. The two Pokémon, the dog and the duck, looked ready for potential battle.

[color=b35647]‘Not with the intention to pressure you into joining, mind you. Just a natural consequence.’[/color] The guy finished.

What all this meant was for Donna to interpret.

Nincada managed to dodge the Vine Whip, the vines smashing down where it hit into the stones at the bottom of the drain, and then the green Pokémon followed Nincada with his gaze, turning ready to intercept in case of more attacks.

Then, he heard Martin’s words and noted he was pointed at. Bulbasaur turned and met Martin’s gaze, glaring defiantly back, accepting the challenge.

[color=84bd90]‘Bulba!’[/color] He then darted at Nincada as the bug was using Harden. He wasn’t going to let him set up in peace. Using Harden requires the user to stay still for a bit, and Bulbasaur was going to take advantage of that. He stopped before the bug, tilting forward, and launched a couple of tiny seeds from the bulb on his back. Leech Seed.

Now, Nincada could dodge these. But, perhaps not while also trying to Harden. If he’d go ahead with the three Hardens plan, then Bulbasaur was going to hit with Leech Seed and then continue with a single more Growl before proceeding to Vine Whip at Nincada. But, seeing Bulbasaur’s plan to take advantage of having to stay still with Harden, would Martin maintain that this was the best course of action?

[color=d6d2a9]‘Hmpf!’[/color] The girl smiled when addressed, more than happy to introduce herself with one hand on her him and bringing the other hand up to her chin while inspecting Claire with a look of superiority despite having not having a vaguely advantageous position.

[color=d6d2a9]‘I’ll let you know. I am Yvonne, upcoming Pokémon Trainer and Coordinator of Justroad City, who’ll eventually bring everyone to their knees wishing to be acknowledged by me! I am here today because I was flying with Ellias with his Pidgeots, for he had promised to show me a sight that would take my breath away…’[/color]

[color=c5b9c7]‘… He flew off, ditching her in the most dangerous part of Infested Woods.’[/color] Laurinda filled in, looking away and looking thoroughly tired. Didn’t look like Claire alone was taking on her energy right now.

[color=d6d2a9]‘Hmpf! He was obviously not worth my time!’[/color] Yvonne declared, raising her chin and running a hand through her hair. Evidently, Laurinda had arrived in time to save her, given the lack of smudge or damage on her clothes and body. [color=d6d2a9]‘So! The one who asks the question must also be prepared to answer it! Who are you, girl of red who’s manner of speaking slightly perturbs me?’[/color]

[color=c5b9c7]‘… You can talk while we’re walking. Come, Delphox.’[/color] Laurinda stated, waving to Delphox, who nodded and started walking lifting her wand and looking into it, as they started walking back through the woods. That is, if Claire walked along. If she did, then Yvonne would. If Claire stayed for some reason, then Yvonne probably would, too, but that’d just result in Laurinda being done with you all and bringing you back a bit more forcibly. Not that you necessarily knew that.

Joshua and Ewan helped her out with the phone, ensuring that it went well enough to get their contact information exchanged and that she then knew how to use it to contact them should events occur. She’d also find that the numbers to all the other trainers that had received Pokédexes from Kalmia were in there, as well as to Kalmia herself.  

[color=668570]‘Heh. The Gym, eh? Oooh, I heard some stories about that gym from back home when they heard I was becoming a Pokémon Trainer and was heading for Pureplain City.’[/color] Joshua grinned. [color=668570]‘But, perhaps it’s better that you find those parts out for yourself~’[/color] He commented, though she could still ask and he’d answer, of course.

[color=668570]‘Well!’[/color] Joshua smiled at the question. [color=668570]‘I don’t have a strict destination. Thing is, I want to go both directions! Wet Caverns should contain interesting Water-type Pokémon as well as cave ones, they got to be cool, but Silent Forest is said to have fairies, among other things! I wonder if there are any cool fairies there?’[/color] Joshua inquired to himself.

[color=decdad]‘… So, we were planning on heading through Route 2, to Infested Woods and Wet Caverns on the way, and then loop back north through Stillwood Village, perhaps look at the Mountain Valley and Mt. Strength on the way, then dip south to the Silent Shrine and Forest before finally heading north through Rainrock City then finally to Redcoast City. That was the original plan.’[/color] Ewan described, apparently they had planned this out ahead of time.

[color=668570]‘But! Plans can change on a whim!’[/color] Joshua grinned, placing a hand on his headphones, just because.

[color=c5b9c7]‘…’[/color] Laurinda looked at Amelia as she spoke, her eyes somewhat tired. Her question of who told Amelia went unanswered, which added another layer of silence on the woman. Finally, at the last question, she sighed.

[color=c5b9c7]‘Okay. Fine. Come with me, then. There’s no way you’re making it there on your own, and since I’m here anyway I’m unwilling to simply stand by and let you get poisoned. I don’t need that weight on my mind. Follow me.’[/color]

Laurinda said, her voice sounding more like she was giving in to an easier option, turning around to walk in roughly the direction of the ghosts, where Amelia had already been heading. She did not answer the question about if she was tired, but yes, she looked tired. If Amelia had any questions or just followed or wanted to chose her own path or some other thing, that’s her choice.

[color=a4b9c7]‘Why, of course!’[/color] The female of the very energetic couple who ran the hutt stated, letting Lucian hand over his Pokémon to be healed, which they quickly were in exchange for the money. Meanwhile, the man of the two were taking care of some fainted bugs of a few bug-catchers. They were allowed to rest a bit, and then they were free to go again.

[color=a4b9c7]‘I saw that. You came out of True Infested Woods with a new partner, eh? Well done! Not all newcomers manage that! Haha!’[/color] She stated, briefly making small talk before Lucian got going again. [color=a4b9c7]‘Come back any time!’[/color] He got a smile and a greeting, when he then got a new choice of what to do in this place.
