@Arista You can totally take control of Micah as well. He's just a young eleven year old trainer with a Taillow named Low-low. He's nervous around older/new folks, but I'm sure he'll warm up to the pair soon enough!

His color code is: #47E263

"Oh, h-hi!" The boy said surprised by the audience. "T-totally! You okay with that Low-low?" The Tailow chirped in response to it's trainer as it perched on his shoulder. "I-I'm M-Mike... I mean Micah."

"It's nice to meet you, Micah." Soren said. He could tell the youngster was extremely nervous, it was a given as they were complete strangers to him. "I'm Soren and this is Yuu." Turning to his friend with a smile in agreement, "I think it'd be a good idea to stop for lunch. I'm starving. You should join us Micah."

"Y-yeah, of course. I-I'd love t-to!" As he bowed with respect his hat bounced off his head, his Tailow swiftly catching it before it landed on the ground. The boy was a nervous wreck, but it was extremely endearing.

Soren could sense that Micah was a brand new trainer, and it was encouraging to see him train so hard, especially with a powerful move like Steel Wing. Again, envious of Yuu's luck not just with Wurmple, but with the chance of learning a new move, made Soren extremely anxious. He wanted to do something as well, and figured that his chance would soon come.

"I'll set up our lunch." Soren said. Waving to his friend to take some time to watch Micah and Low-low with their Steel Wing, Soren inched a few feet away from the pair as he began spreading out a picnic blanket from his backpack. He had a few sandwiches and dried foods to place among the blanket before getting to the berry treats and Pokemon kibble.

Fly Me to Mt. Moon: A Pokémon Experience

_{Location: Mt. Moon — Group Campfire}

JJ's luck was full of high high's and low low's, being stuck in the dark depths of Mt. Moon was one of those lows. He was exploring the cave, looking for a Clefairy, when what almost sounded like an explosion echoed through the rock walls. Finding out that the entrance had been blocked wasn't just anxiety inducing, but the cave-in also diminished his spirit of finding himself a Clefairy.

Luckily like always after being down on his luck, JJ would reach a high on his event list. This time it was meeting a bunch of other trainers who were stuck in the cave as well. One of the others, Lys, a very tall trainer with a Charmander, had set up a campfire which everyone congregated around. Taking notice of another trainer as well, as she introduced herself as Ella, he envied one of her partner's, a dancing Clefairy named Fabs.

As he was sitting around the fire a big, bright smile was plastered across JJ's face as he watched the pink fairy spin and twirl, slightly raising his downed spirits. JJ was there in Mt. Moon for one purpose, but his chances of finding and catching a Clefairy were also pretty low. A tug from Sia, his Jigglypuff partner, at his pants leg snapped the trainer back from his envious trance and onto the cold reality before him.

"Oh! I'm JJ," he said. "And this is Sia."

His partner puffed her cheeks proudly as he introduced her, eyes beaming from the lights of the fire. A confident ball of pink fluff, Sia was JJ's dependable partner. She was a brawler when needed, but often times acted shy before others, earning her quite the endearing factor.

"If we manage to get out of here the next meal is on me." JJ said jokingly, hoping to improve his own dampened spirit.

Hey everyone, post is up. We can go for a round or two of interactions on top of Yuya!

Avatar: Order of the White Lotus

As his team arrived, Hao turned to face them replacing the soft, gentle smile that he gave Yuya into a more stern frown. He didn't picture them being so rag-tag, but inside he was happy that they didn't really notice who he was and question him about it, at least not yet. Raising his arm, he gave the air bison beside him another loving pet. "I'm Haoran Li and this is Yuya."

"If there aren't any other questions and if you're all ready, we can start getting aboard with your things." Hao said as he signaled to the team to climb the rope ladder on the side of Yuya. This was his first time leading a real team and the anxiety he felt was through the roof, but he was a pro when it came to keeping a straight face, something he picked up from the nervousness his family always gave him.

As the team all settled onto the large saddle firmly attached on the back of the air bison, Hao took the reins, still with a firm, yet blank stare. "Hold on tight, our destination is a few hours out, so please get comfortable."

Slightly whipping Yuya's reins, the sky bison took off, mooing loudly as they lifted into the air. His team was made up of four benders, all from differing nations and a non-bender. First impressions were important to Hao as he reflected on each person and remembering what their files had said.

All four members of Hao's team were proficient in their bending and combat, which was something he was happy to read up on. Ayuka Eiruni was said to be quite the hot-headed Fire Bender, but an extremely skilled fighter. Tikaani was energetic and from their first meeting, Hao hoped that energy and curiosity transferred into him proving himself as he and Ayuka were two of the younger and newer members on the team. Seung Bik on the other hand was more known in the White Lotus, having joined them at a later age than most recruits. He had created an academy of sorts or research center where others could learn Earth Bending techniques, something Hao was envious when he had heard about his story. Hao hoped he could rely on Brother Bik as he was more experienced in the world, but knew he had to earn the respect of him and the rest of his team. Last was Hinra Langtei, the only non-bender on the team. Hao didn't know much about her and she left him without a real impression, something he would have to figure out as their journey went on.

Feeling the breeze rush across his body, the air bender slightly turned, half facing his team. "I know we just met, but I want to express how grateful I am to have you all here. We have a lot of work to do and this assignment isn't the easiest one out there for a first mission for most of you." Hao said. "I've been in your shoes before, but I want to let you all know that if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."

Hao wanted to make sure his team knew that he could be a nice guy underneath the grumpy rest face he carried. Most of the time he was cold and distant, sure, and there were plenty of rumors that he had his head up his ass, thinking he was better than the rest. But there were times he could be quite kind towards others.

@Omni5876 You can go ahead, it should be fine. We can assume Hoseki's reactions. A whole new post doesn't need to be written.
