As they awoke to the sound of the pitter patter of rain against a windscreen, kids reckoned might have gone a little too far when it came to avoiding a repeat of the bombing incident that the others had suffered the previous night. They’d skipped out on it last time by shacking up in the Avenger, but the sensation of being yoinked skyward at high speed was not worth it, and that was before you got to the hassle of getting dropped off somewhere again in the morning.

As such, they’d camped out in the wilds, or, rather, more specifically, parked the green tractor shaped Kuebiko in a random cluster of bamboo outside of town. The adult sized seats in it made better bedding for the kids than they would have for others, with Jr curling up in his shell and Rika snugging into her two plushies, but the minor aches they had after waking up put this down as an idea best not repeated.

Still, it was nothing a good breakfast couldn’t fix, and so the pair signaled their agreement with the plan to meet up for breakfast before hitting the road and rolling back into town. Therein the kids and jr’s pokemon all went to town on a whole load of rice porridge and dried fruit, which was a nice enough way to start the day.

When it came to plans, they didn’t have anything as concrete as the match schedule in mind like those competing in the tournament did, so they’d have to come up with something to do to help out. 

[color=SpringGreen]”Guess we can see if those UN guys have any other bright ideas about dealing with G-Corp”[/color] Jr suggested, while Rika thought that they should maybe focus on more basic needs, suggesting that they [color=Aqua]”Might want to hunt down some treasure, otherwise we’re gonna be running out of food money”[/color]

The two chatted back and forth about this a bit, including speculating that maybe they could get the UN to pay them for food, before being interrupted by Amaterasu presenting RIka with another finely inked note that had been written on a napkin

[color=Aqua]”Found Kim and Harry. Kim looking after Harry. Out of tournament running”[/color] Rika read out loud, which wasn’t exactly great news. That was two more shots at winning this thing out the window, which was not as disastrous as Terry’s loss had been (before his replacement) but it still wasn’t good.

[color=SpringGreen]”shame they probably don't count as ‘monsters’ or else we could have snuck in as em using a tape recording”[/color] Jr commented, before adding mockingly [color=SpringGreen]”though given they both already got knocked down to losers, I’ll bet it’d have been next to impossible to win with their move-sets”[/color] 

[color=Aqua]”Wouldn’t want to do that anyway. Will be way more eyes on the fights today”[/color] Rika muttered, to which Jr nodded and agreed [color=SpringGreen]”that too”[/color]
