[color=palevioletred]“Yes! Tutu! You did it!”[/color] Eryn cried, running out to scoop Tula up and spin the Magikarp around, a grin on her face. [color=palevioletred]“You’re going to grow up to be big and strong and amazing, and absolutely nothing less!”[/color]

The ground trembled slightly, marking Peri’s approach, and Eryn glanced up with a grin, patting the rocks making up Peri’s body. What a bunch of big babies, this team.

[color=palevioletred]“You too, Per-per. You’ll also be big, strong, and amazing, but hey you’re more than halfway there already,”[/color] Eryn said. [color=palevioletred]“Now, no more learning from Dei, alright? You’re your own individual, and if you’re really going to choose him as your role model, pick up something other than… you-know-what, alright?”[/color]

Peri stared down at her, silent, then made the now-familiar, half-grinding, half crunching noise again. Narrowing her eyes, she maintained eye contact with Eryn, as if daring Eryn to say something.

[color=palevioletred]“Fine! Fine, see if I care that I’ve now got two grouches,”[/color] Eryn said, throwing one arm in the air. With her other wrapped around Tula, she walked back to her team, muttering under her breath about personality deficiencies and the possibility of Tula being the ideal. 

Noticing her other Pokemon crowding together over something, she walked over. [color=palevioletred]“Hey, what’s up? Everything good?”[/color]

Kylie turned around with a grin, raising a yellow object into the air. “Maw!”

[color=palevioletred]“Oh, cool, what… is this a beak?”[/color] Frowning, Eryn raised the object into the sun, turning and examining it from different angles as she fished out her Pokedex around Tula. Was it bone? Rubber? Some kind of high-grade plastic polymer? 

[color=palevioletred]“Well, alright, Pokedex says this is a ‘Sharp Beak’ and ups the power of flying-type moves, which is, well, completely non-applicable to us right now,”[/color] Eryn said, sighing. [color=palevioletred]“Into the bag it goes, I guess.”[/color]

Rolling her backpack off one shoulder around Tula, she opened it to put the beak in, then frowned, fishing out a large yellow stone, which gleamed with value under the light. [color=palevioletred]“Wait, how—what? Ugh, Electric Gem? You know what,”[/color] she said, shoving both yellow objects into her bag, [color=palevioletred]“whatever. We’ll see how much they sell for, at worst. Can’t go wrong with more items.”[/color]

Shaking her head, she looked back at her gathered team, which now numbered five strong. Not bad, not bad at all. 

[color=palevioletred]“Right, so, let’s see,”[/color] she said, scrolling through the Pokedex’s map, [color=palevioletred]“our goals today are to check Peri back in with her parents and catch a water-type so I can phone Wilhelm back about the ruins. Besides that, we’re basically done. Sleep schedule’s ruined, obviously, but maybe we can tire ourselves out so we can head to bed early or something, and—oh, how about checking out that house over there?”[/color]

Pointing to the rather misplaced house in the middle of the route, Eryn frowned, checking her Pokedex over. The map said nothing really about a house, so was it a private place?

[color=palevioletred]“Well, no harm in dropping by. Worst case scenario we get a ‘I get this a lot, scat’ or something,”[/color] Eryn said, grinning as she tucked her Pokedex away and walked her team towards the house. [color=palevioletred]“Hey Eri, double me again, and if we’re going inside I might have to return you, Peri, alright?”[/color]

A rumble from overhead marked Peri’s agreement, and a glance behind her revealed that Eri had already donned her skin.

[color=palevioletred]“Alright, nice, now, anyone home?”[/color] Eryn called, peeking her head in through the open door.
