With the wingull finally in a ball, Steph just let out a sigh as she spun the device on her finger before tossing it up and pocketing it. This trainer stuff was harder than it looked huh? She knew it wouldn't be as easy as the league trainers back home made it seem, but as she looked over at Jack who seemed to be quite ginger after that fall, she took a moment to think. To think on the events of the day before sighing again as she returned her Sneasal and assuming Freya was still nearby she would meet up with her before heading to the pokecenter to deal with her once more hurt pokemon.
After that little trip, Steph would make her way to the nearest public entrance to the sewers and go to enter to see what was going on inside.
Dusk Species: Litwick Type: Fire/Ghost Level: 6 Status: Dunking on some scumbag loser Moves: Smog, Ember, Astonish Ability: Infiltrator- Passes through the opposing barrier, substitute, and the like and strikes. Held Item:
Dennis Species: Pidove Type: Flying/Normal Level: 4 Status: No longer Beaten to a pulp Moves: Gust, Growl, Leer Ability: Super Luck- Increases the critical hit ratio by 1 stage. Held Item:

Just how much effort was trying to beat this Wingull? Steph watched in annoyance and frustration as her admittedly risky maneuver backfired and Jack was now pretty hurt. But a look over at the Sneasel and she didn't even contemplate switching. Well for one, she didn't really have a better option right now but mostly she could see that Jack wasn't ready to throw in the towel yet. Steph knew a kindred spirit where she saw one. But how could she handle this follow-up Quick Attack?
"Oolroigh' jahck, as the buggah gets closah bawmbahd its weengs weeth ice shahd! Troy t' knawck ih' off buylahnce, thaen close the gahp and use scrahtch aguyn!" A simpler strategy, but hopefully a more effective one. After all, even if it dodged the ice shards it would have to give up on its attack or risk losing its momentum. And if it did and tried to fly up, Steph would just order Jack to fire off even more ice shards. There wasn't much else she could do.
Dusk Species: Litwick Type: Fire/Ghost Level: 6 Status: Dunking on some scumbag loser Moves: Smog, Ember, Astonish Ability: Infiltrator- Passes through the opposing barrier, substitute, and the like and strikes. Held Item:

Oh? This Wingull seemed fiesty. She liked its style already! Sure, it stole some guys sandwich...but uh, guess no one was having that sandwich now. It was kinda on fire...and in the ocean. Oh well, that was well out of her though process right now as Steph just grinned up at the wingull, the excitement visible in her sparkling eyes.
"Oh? Yaw nawt gaowin t' run awhy? Laeh''s gao thaen! Jack, use ice shahd aguyn! Fuyah off thray naow!" Receiving a brief nod from her Sneasal, who had begun to understand not really what she was saying but her intent, the pokemon would begin a new assault. One. Two. Three. Chunk after chunk of ice shot off towards its target, as Steph stood there watching. Waiting. She had seen and experienced Jack's nimbleness and agility, though this was a bit more open than a narrow alleyway, there were still options! But first, she needed to keep this Wingull on its toes.
"Anuhthah vawllay of thray, thaen whoile it's deestrahcted jump off the wohl and propel yoahsself fohwahd weeth anuhthah ice shahd sao yah cahn slahm ih' intao the ground weeth a scrahtch!" It was maybe asking a bit much for a newer mon, but she had faith that her partner could do it. And if he managed to do that? Or well, at least do enough damage to put it into catching range, she would attempt to do so.

With just about everything useful gleaned from the locals, Steph was pretty content with her first day now. It hadn't gotten off to a great start but was looking up, and she was beginning to get an idea as to where to head to next. Lots of things seemed to be happening around route 4 and beyond, so she would head south. Of course, only after her sewer diving and going to catch a growlithe. But first, the cries of a man in distress caught her attention!
Turning over, she noticed the culprit flying away with a...manwich? The hell was a manwich? That just looked like a sandwich to her...anyway that didn't matter! She had been about to ask Freya where the easiest place to enter the sewers was, but this took precedent!
"Oi ya leettle shiieh', geh' bahck heah weeth thaht!" Yelling after the Wingull, for what felt like the 50th time today no doubt for poor Freya, Steph was running off shouting all sorts of obscenities. Luckily all the people giving her weird glances couldn't understand her.
"Hy Dusk mite, theenk yah cahn blahst em eow' of the skoy weeth an embah?" Glancing to her right shoulder, where her starter could be found, she was given an empathic look of just absolute....
Bruh how the fuck am I meant to do shit to a water type? look.
"Oh...roigh', roigh'. uh...guess Oy only raylly gawt one option. just geeve ih' a troy t' deestrahct ih' ok?" Pulling a ball from her belt as she ran, Dusk just shrugged.
"Lit..." Suppose there was no harm in trying? So as Steph threw a Pokeball out, Dusk would attempt to shoot the Wingull with an ember. At the very least, it should get the birds attention? Nonetheless, Steph was letting Jack out and pointing up at the bird.
"Jack, cahn yah use yoah ice shahd t' troy and knawck the leettle buggah eow' of the aeh? Once its daown at ahh laevel we cahn hahve yah gao roigh' at ih' ok?" A simple enough strategy, knock the wingull down, then have Jack basically just jump onto it and start scratch spamming till it got within catching distance and then throw a pokeball. And if it wasn't knocked down? Well, ice shard spam was always a viable backup.

Hearing Freyja speak about her mood-lifting, Steph just shrugged. Honestly, her mood could only have improved all things considered.
"Eh, shiieh' hahppens. theah ahh crooks nao mahttah wheah yah gao, espaecially in the biieg citees." She dismissed any notion of today leaving an impression on her of Evig very quickly. She hadn't expected much from a place that Cipher had done a number on anyway. If anything, maybe this pointed to the higher possibility of her finding a lead? It was optimistic, but Steph always tried to find a silver lining anyway.
"If Oy laeh' thiies much kayp me daown faw lawng, moy aunt and uncle would whiiep me intao shype in nao toime flaht haeh."
With their lunch dealt with, the next stop on their trip would be the pokemart. Steph was running low on pokeballs and other things, and with a bit of cash she should invest in a bit more than she was originally given. If along the way she happened to find a chip stealing Wingull swooping around and being an overall asshole, then she would most certainly look to put it in its place with Jack but otherwise upon arrival at the store she would aim to get 10 pokeballs and 3 potions and see if the shop keep knew anything else interesting going on around.
Like sure, she had heard some gossip at the pub but even if it was just tips for her journey, never hurt to learn more about the region or talk to people.

It was difficult to tell who was happier with the headpats and chin scritches the growlithe or Steph. She had grown up with a couple of growlithe and the like up on the farm, so it was a great reminder of home. Upon hearing you could catch some in the park...well she made a mental note to get one later. After getting some more pokeballs as well, she only had the 3 left....
Handed a stained menu, Steph didn't even bat an eyelid at its condition. If anything, this reminded her of the pubs from back home more. A more rustic feel despite their inner city location, Steph could most certainly appreciate this as she scanned the menu. Her ears twitched slightly as she caught a few words said here and there between patrons.
A weird pokemon in the sewers? And only at night? Steph had planned on leaving Grand Glory city before nightfall...but maybe staying the night and investigating these sewers could be well worth the reward? She could always leave first thing in the morning along route 4 anyway.
And speaking of route 4, something about the Lake that ran beside it and route one also crept into her other ear. An odd sensation that creeped people out by the lake? Something of that nature...always excited Steph! For a moment, Freya saw her eyes light up. Weird and occult things and Steph had always had...an interesting relationship. They were drawn to her, and she was drawn to them for reasons she hadn't really understood bar maybe her parents had had an interest in such things? She had found a book from her parents on the matter after all. So maybe it was her way of trying to understand her parents, who she had never really known?
Well, she knew her next designation. She imagined she could reach it via route 4 anyway...should probably check on a map later.
Though now her attention was firmly back to earth, reality snapped back into place as the waiter returned. So Freya was something of a regular here then? Steph had assumed as much seeing as well...she had brought her here, when honestly this place didn't seem like it was for someone like Freya. But looks were deceiving on that front anyway....but now that the waiter knew her, well it solidified the assumption in Steph's head.
Either that or Freya was a super famous hotshot and Steph was completely oblivious to it.
"Uh yayh a soda pawp thighnks...and Oy'll tyke the pahmi and cheeps weeth some vaegeh'ables on the soide."
Rivia tilted her head at the spear hero side to side, tapping her chin as he told her to leave the tracking down to him. But it was what Rivia was good at right? Then what else was she meant to do? What else could she do? She could fight I suppose, however with two or three legendary hero in the fight, she doubted she was needed much right? Though when he mentioned beating up guards...her eyes lit up. So, take out the small fry...and leave the big fish to Cole? She could do that!
She remembered training for such situations before! During the hunt, the alpha would take on the bigger, stronger prey themselves with the others only helping if required; while this was going on, the others were meant to hunt down the smaller, weaker ones. Not always the case of course, but it was one of the scenarios they had been taught to be ready for.
"Rivia can do that. Small prey should be easy." She sounded confident as she crossed her arms over her chest and nodded, turning to Edusa and seeming to size her up for a moment. She didn't seem much at first glance....yet Rivia could sense it. A warriors spirit, a strong ally. Yep, she could fight alongside this girl pretty easily. Returning her gaze to Lev, she furrowed her brows and tilted her head again as he was staring at her....
"Why?"
She didn't get a chance to vocalise that question before Cole spoke up, her attention moving to the sword hero. She pondered his one for a moment....he seemed hesitant on killing? But he was a legendary hero wasn't he? She thought that killing would be second nature to them wouldn't it? She knows it was for her.
"If Cole doesn't want to kill...Rivia could? Rivia doesn't mind." For such a dark statement....her tone was surprisingly innocent and genuine. She wanted to help Cole however she could, and if he didn't want to kill...well she didn't mind getting her hands dirty. It was clear she didn't understand why he didn't want to kill, though perhaps this was a matter of her upbringing? After all, killing in her tribe was their way of life. The way they survived. Though that was more animals than people, it seemed like she didn't know the difference. That could be an issue in the future.
The whole of the world, dooming everyone on it part mostly flew over her head. That was just obvious wasn't it? Besides, no way a legendary hero could die easily right? In the stories she had heard, they were almost always entirely invincible, and obviously highly exaggerated to the point of being ridiculous shounen levels of legends and rumours by this point.
"Cole won't die, neither will Fer or Edusa. Rivia will protect them with Rivia's life. They're Rivia's friends after all."

It seemed like violence wasn't always the answer; apparently, just the perceived threat of potential violence was enough! Not that she had any intention of being so right now...honestly this day had been pretty draining and she was just in a bad mood, as was evident for any and all to see and not many would blame her for being in such a mood after having to deal with that thief. Let alone that encounter with that rich prick was still freshish on her mind, which honestly paled in comparison to the thief. God he was a piece of shit.
Watching as the man left in a hurry, she just returned the whimpod to its ball and shrugged as she retrieved the money she had intended to pay with. He was an obvious scam artist, but if he didn't want her money she wasn't going to complain.
With Freya seeming to have a place in mind, Steph just nodded and followed after her, tossing her new friends ball up and down a few times as she pondered over a name. She wasn't sure why, but Glory seemed a good name for the cowardly pokemon. Oddly fitting in her mind. It didn't take long to reach their designation, and honestly it wasn't the type of place that Steph had expected Freya to go to. The place was in dire need of a fresh paint job, and the noise and buzz of people inside was quite audible even though they had yet to even open the door. It seemed like the occupants were having a good time....
And they certainly were! Upon opening the doors, she was greeted with the loud chatter of people, the clanging of glasses in toasts and the extremely audible laughing of those under the influence. This atmosphere seemed to perk Steph up though, a small smile on her face. Not just the design of the place, but the atmosphere in general just seemed to remind her of home. Of Galar. Ah, she wondered how her aunt, uncle and cousins were faring...
Taking her seat, she raised an eyebrow at the dieno and pointed down to it and the growlithe.
"Wheah diied yah geh' such a raeh pokemawn? ooh roigh', and Oy wahnted t' ask yah wheah yah gawt thaht cute leettle pupah! Who's a good boy~....or guhl." Reaching forward slightly, she extended a hand out to pet the growlithe as she spoke. As she did so, Dusk hopped onto the table and was curiously glancing around the pub. It was his first time being in such a place, and there were so many humans....
While she just let Dusk roam around and near the table as he pleased, though making sure he didnt wander off too far, Steph kept her ears peeled. You see, going to a pub was good for a meal and all but it was also a hub of activity; which meant all sorts would come through. travellers, locals, the lot. And one could learn a lot just by listening even remotely, let alone a lot of...interesting sort could be found. So if anyone interesting was to be seen, or if she had anything interesting; this would be one of the places to do so!
"Sao whaht type of grub do thy do heah? Oy'm fuymeeshed."
