“Oh you can’t be serious I can’t just-” Laurel started to reply, the Munchlax turning its head back to her. The ears on top of its head drooped lightly. “-Oh don’t give me that look you…you…” Laurel fidgeted on the spot, frowning and trying to apparently find any excuse to not take the Munchlax with her before sighing and walking over, kneeling down in front of the pokemon with a mildly irritated looking expression. “Ugh, fine, just stop looking so terrible. I guess…I can take you…you ugly cute…pokemon…”

“Muuunch!” The Munchlax’s ears perked up, a wide smile forming as it would proceed to jump up, leaning on Laurel and throwing all of its weight into a low momentum tackle hug.

”Eek-wait be careful I’m not-oof-” This of course, resulted in the much heavier pokemon almost knocking over Laurel before she was able to right herself. ”Tsk, what am I going to do with you…” Despite her somewhat dour and perhaps unfriendly demeanor Laurel would pull a pokeball from her bag and bonk the Munchlax on the head with it.

“Munchlax looked really happy. I’ll heal up both of your pokemon from that battle.” Nurse Joy would say with a friendly smile, ushering the two back inside where their pokemon would be swiftly healed up. As they waited, Laurel would turn towards Richard.

“...Uhm…” She glanced to the side, seeming a little uncertain as she continued. “Thanks. For uh…I know our introduction wasn’t exactly the smoothest. Just thanks for uh…[sub]puttingupwithme[/sub]-” She'd quickly turn to Nurse Joy who had finished with their pokemon. “Anyways, I’ll likely be heading to Giervor. The Dark-Type gym there is typically a good spot for new trainers to start the gym challenge at...erm, so I've heard.”

“Here are your pokemon! Verdue and Luna are all healed up and ready to go!” Nurse joy handed them their pokeballs back. Laurel wasn't saying anything more, though despite apparently being in a hurry she didn't seem like she wanted to be the first to leave.

[hider=Possible Actions]
The Museum, is still here.
You can get to Route 1, Route 2, and Route 25 from Byjerlfal. Neither of the three routes are particularly dangerous. Frieda mentioned a cave system on Route 2.
The contest hall isn’t particularly far from here.
Might be a few trainers loitering about in the streets?
There’s also a few pokemon you could run into here, if you wanted to search.
A pokemart might have some good items if you wanted something.

Route 1

Upon the second Nickit being spotted, it would pause in its tracks, tail raised slightly while its ears stood, perked up and attentive. It regarded Dancing and the jerky that was tossed towards it with a small bit of suspicion. For a moment the two looked like they were about to abort their so called master plan of stealing Isla’s jerky and likely pilfering her bag as well, but after a few long seconds the two Nickit would make a noise that sounded like a mix between a high pitched bark and a rough growl.

The first, took the jerky from her hand without too much complaint, but the second would bolt for Isla’s bag, attempting to grab it with its claws in an effort to run off with it. Seemed as though it wasn't intent to give up the spoils it wanted. The first seemed a little more open to this whole exchange, though...perhaps with a little more persuading she could befriend it.

“Hmm…sorta. Consider it a hobby of hers.” Clara responded with a dismissive tone. “Beating up thugs is Sables favorite pastime.” The red head narrowed her eyes, shaking her head and pointing a finger towards Clara instead. “The amount of times I’ve had to bail her out…” Clara shook her head, ignoring the visible protests from her companion as she’d walk over to Camila. “Having a strong fella like Koko here to help is always a good idea.” A subtle smile as Clara would pull out her phone. “But I understand. You’d rather have someone good looking instead of a rough rugged pokemon look after you, huh?”

Sable rolled her eyes as she’d start packing up a few of Clara’s items.

“...Tch. I’d like to stick around and talk more, but I’ve got places to be.” She’d put her phone back in her pocket. “If you’re ever in Giervor, stop by the gym. I could show you around and keep the big bad gangsters away. Got everything Sable?” A thumbs up from the redhead was all she’d need. “Least I can do is heal up Snow for you and escort you back to the road.”

Assuming she took Clara up on that offer, the trio would head back to the main road. Clara would hop onto her motorcycle, revving up the engine. Sable took a seat on the back, sitting a a bit oddly with her back to Clara’s own, her legs positioned on either side of its body and hands gripping it. She’d wave bye as the duo would speed off down Route 1….

[hider=Some actions/locations you could go to]
You could always go back to Byjerlfal.
Route 1 connects to Pines End.
The Winding Wood could be accessed from here...but you wouldn't want to go into such a dangerous place, would you?
Getting to Route 2 from the outskirts of the city shouldn't be hard, either. Frieda mentioned a cavern system here.
Find pokemon (Specify if you’re looking for anything in particular or how you look)
Find trainers to battle (Probably not hard to find other trainers to battle here of varying skill levels)
Train pokemon. (Skip the grind, and we get to the result. Tell me how you train and if you just grind wild mon or some other creative training)
 Move along. (Don’t want to engage with anything and move quickly to the next destination? Go ahead, then. A few events may prevent this.)
 Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
 Area Specific: There are a handful of fishermen along the river. Perhaps they might have something interesting.
You could always head back to Byjerlfal
