There were several moments where Namie found herself wanting nothing more than to shut the running mouth from that arrogant piece of shit, Noboru Nobounaga. Not even halfway through his first day and he was already spewing crap from his mouth about being 'great'. From Namie's point of view, he wasn't exactly sitting front and center like she was. Besides, Namie doesn't work so hard just to settle for second, and she was hoping the opportunity to humble Noboru came sooner rather than later this semester.
Fist clenched, Namie's boiling glare would drift over to the pineapple lad. The surprising gesture of gift-giving had left her baffled and she gestured, shaking her head. She kept her thoughts to herself though, it wouldn't be too prudent to be like that 'second seater', and well, Namie wasn't a warm person.
When their instructor, Knightmare, had finally made her appearance, Namie was left more in awe than anything else. There must have been a look on her face for when Knightmare drew attention to the looks, Namie turned away intending on focusing elsewhere. It was only a question by one of her classmates that Namie turned back around to follow their Instructor progress over to answer the question. Painful first question to ask, dude... Namie thought as she waited for some type of outburst but it never came. Instead, that student was left relatively unscathed, but much to Namie's delight, another student was not.
That kick to Noboru's chair was so sweet and satisfying that Namie's tough facade broke with her chuckling, admiring her instructor for being so bold. That one move was enough to convince her this might not be so bad.
Finding herself in a good mood, Namie finally managed bring herself out of her earlier silence. Raising her hand but not waiting to be called upon, Namie asked, "Knightmare Sensei, you mentioned training exercises earlier and I was wondering when the earliest exercise would be.". There was a temptation to brown-nose but Namie hated having that reputation and for others to do that, so she stated her inquiry and left it at that.

And bugs for Sno to crush. Feel bad for Poli who is still stuck without an attacking move.

❄Erika Olson❄
It was sheer bedlam in the small cavern with the catalyst of this craziness coming from Joshua's quick thinking, which in hindsight was certainly a clever and lucky maneuver. The guardians of this trial were so caught up with their squabbling that Erika and her friends were continuing their progress along the trail, albeit at a bit of a slow crawl. Still, the trench protected them from being swept up on the chaotic air currents and the flurry of activity had managed to convince Gibs to dig even faster, fearing the possibility of them all being swept off their feet in Pidgeot's windstorm.
Before they knew it, the door was within reach and the team charged the door. Erika attempted to open it but realizing it was locked she glanced around, not really sure what that meant. Taking the time to think, she returned both Sno and Gibs to their Pokeballs before Ewan stepped up to rescue them. Thank goodness they went out of their way to retrieve that scroll earlier!
Slipping into the next chamber, it was quite a relief that there were no obvious obstacles in this room. In fact, the sight of the Trail Master in his little man cave was rather delightful in a way, like witnessing a break of character but in a good way. It didn't take long for him to notice them though. Erika had to admit, the way the Trail Master sounded almost disappointed made her feel bad about completing his challenge so quickly. "It was a fun challenge! I think we just got lucky! ..." Erika offered her compliments to him.
Now a Pokemon was certainly something Erika had not expected as a reward for the challenge and again, the sound of backfiring in the Trail Master's voice made Erika feel guilty, but thankfully he seemed to cheer up. "Thank you Trial Master! I'll come back again!" Erika called as the man vanished with a similar mystifying exit like last time.
That left Erika and her friends alone to discuss their reward. Joshua and Ewan were both being very nice about Erika letting pick first, again making her feel quite indebted to her friends. She really hoped her tip about her mother would help them out, but maybe she'll get a gift for these two later? Especially now considering that she was quite satisfied with being given the first choice because upon discovering what was in each Pokeball, her eyes lit up when she saw a Fire-Type. Torchic would go a long way to help her build her team in addition, Torchic was certainly the most adorable little Pokemon ever... No offense to all Pokemon.
"Alright thank you guys! I'll be sure to pay you both back sometime soon, ok?" Erika thanked both of her friends before turning and grabbing the Torchic's Pokeball. "I am going to have Torchic join my team!" Erika glanced at it happily before tucking it into her belt holster.
Erika would give Joshua and Ewan plenty of time to debate and choose which ever Pokemon they wanted before she would try to lead them out of the place... However one would do that.
Assuming getting outside was simple enough, Erika would take a breath of fresh evening air. Now it was time to get to work! She needed to train her team up and that's exactly what she planned to do in the area around the Trail Master's House and nearby forest!
Kiera Whitman
Kiera glanced up at the surface, hardly seeing a thing but thankfully the surface seemed to be calming after her leap in, meaning she wasn't be followed anymore. For the time being, she was safe but her present environment certainly did not the her feel that way. With her minimal vision, she was essentially bumbling around in the dark and on a planet with unrecorded creatures. Even with the risk her previous occupation had, this was on another scale.
Kiera finally allowed herself to sink to have an easier time of traversing through the water on her feet. In a measure of self defense, she drew her knife, keeping the more eccentric properties of her weapon off for the time being as being submerged underwater was not the best place for heated plasma.
Carefully, Kiera proceeded forward, her previous navigation point being her only sense of direction at the moment. Thus began Kiera's eerie journey through the silent dark of this foreign bog. Nothing had presented itself until at the range of Kiera's vision, she could see a thin but long serpentine appendage. Closing the distance, it was but a small section to a rather lengthy creature. Leech-like was certainly one way to describe it but it reminded Kiera more of Earth's Lamprey, a long bloodsucking fish, only this creature before her had plenty more defensive apparatuses. Bony spikes were likely an evolutionary adaptation to something that ate these things. Something larger than this.
"A Flarg? That's all you got?" Kiera sassed her companion, her natural reaction to the nerves she was having at the moment. "Let's leave it for now. We'll go around its tail end. I have the feeling there is something much larger down here with us. Call it a hunch." Her instruction was quiet, almost whispered in her mic as if afraid to disturb this creature.
That's what Kiera would do. She slipped around to the rear of this creature and planned to press on past it.

Whew. School certainly is taxing right now.
I guess I do miss the Pokemon catching and developing a bit.

Kiera Whitman
"I can assure you, relieving oneself isn't the same as scanning."
Kiera mumbled her rebuttal as the two of them had backed off from the Boonhark threat. There was no use in arguing, however, so she obliged her robotic companion by stashing her samples in a detachable compartment on her built, hissing as the mechanism closed to seal off and perverse its contents.
Of course, it wouldn't be that simple as Hubert would chime in to warn of their pursuers. They were keeping their distance, at least Kiera had assumed, but she didn't quite like the analysis that they were converging. Or becoming a meal.
"Terrific..."
With the threat increasing, Kiera took the opportunity to sheathe her arc knife and increase her own pace. She was equipped to the teeth with her equipment but again, it seemed like the complications that came with conflict could be avoided if she simply found out how far was far enough. She could honestly give a rat's ass if she had to kill some dumb animals but it might be a bit messy, certainly more messy if she just got to whatever signal she was looking for. Most likely, Kiera was guessing, that there would be some small facility that'd be safe. She just had to get there, and soon judging from the noise all around.
A slight complication would present itself, however. A bog was certainly a rather annoying obstacle to deal with, in that going around especially with her harassers was more bothersome than trying to cut through... potentially? There had been enough publications and media presenting the idea of something always being 'under the surface', like a monster just waiting for a distressed traveler to make the wrong decision. Stopping at the edge of the bog, she turned and considered her options as the primarch Boonhark rallied his pack into a flurry of noises.
"Cue noted. Hope you're ready for a swim."
Kiera said ignoring the rock that had been intercepted by the faint glow of her shield project. She reached up and tapped her helmet to lower her visor, then drop that same finger to lightly press something on her wrist. The externals of her helmet lit up with a grand purple light with her ultraviolet cameras and sensors changing Kiera's perception of the world from drab to almost everything having a filter of purple over it. Then she leapt backwards, just a frenzied Boonhark tried to take a swipe at where she had been standing.
Landing in the water with a splash, Kiera let herself fall a ways from the surface before turning around and keeping herself buoyant at this level underwater. The ultraviolet view gave her better vision underwater, but the UVs of this system's sun had a lot of things to go through before it reached this bog.
"Uh. Hubert. Threat assessment? I can't see shit down here."
