Pokemon: Dream

Camila came upon an interesting sight. Sunbathing Ledyba and some on a tree passing berries and othrr things back and forth to some Paras. "How interesting." She took a picture of the trading ones and thrn of ghr sunbathing ones. The assistant was ferling a little brave even and inched closer and closer, trying to get a better picture with her phone.

They seemed peaceful to each other so she could at least hope they would be to her. "Hi guys, don't mind me. Peaceful Lab Assistant moving close to take a cute picture." She muttered to herself. It'd be nice if they gave the Pokemon equivalent to a happy hello but Camila was prepared to run or fight if necessary.

Rita tried swatting away Colleen's hand from the top of her head but she had already run past. She shook her head but looked but at the younger witch and her familiar. "Well, I drank a lot back where I was from. I was a social drinker and... Eh, turned into a bad habit I guess. Snakes said that there was a plane crash but I don't remember a thing." Rita mentioned with a shrug.

"So, uhh, what's this alchemy thing? I think I may have heard of it before. Lead to gold thing? Or was there something about this fully metal guy?" Her knowledge was rather sparse. "Is it just you take something and turn it into something else? Is it something you can learn easy?" She had to ask, curious now that its been brought up. Not like she had anything else to do at thr moment.

Rita thrn looked at the bird woman, "You said something about her being your familiar. What's a familiar exactly? Could I get one too?" The goblin woman was very sure about this place, but it didn't hurt to ask, right? The one thing she had an idea about was Necromancy but only from context clues. Probably some sort of magic about death?

Well, that was actually kind of adorable. Yasu could manage to get out a "Thanks" over text at least. It got a smile out of Camila at least. She typed up a reply really quick.

It's no problem, Yasu. I was more than happy to help out a cute little pair like you and Hatty. I'll make sure to come visit sometime. Realistically, my home's not too far away either way. I live in the city for now, but my parent's house is in Verlisa so I'm not too far away either way. Let me know if you ever need anything :)

"And send." Camila mentioned after sending the message off with a smile. With that done, she could move on. She was now on route 3 and it was very pretty out here. First thing first though. As she continued her journey, she would probably need some more Pokemon to help defend herself from wild Pokemon or other malicious forces like those thugs from Route 1 earlier. Well, hopefully she'd find something pretty cute. Hmm... Perhaps she should have bought more Pokeballs but, she had enough for now. It wouldn't be too late to go buy more later.

Rita felt like this entire conversation was something that would just go over her head if she hadn't witnessed everything magical in the last.... However long it had been. That said, there was only really one thing she took away from this. "The bird turned into..." She looked the human form of the raven over and just kinda made a curvy motion with her hands, "A, uhh, big.... Bird?" Not nearly yellow enough but that much was besides the point. No one aside the medusa would get that reference regardless.

The other takeaway was, "So... No leaving and no fairies." That's about as much as she really got from the conversation. Well, that was fine. Maybe she'd find a way to make beer here or something. Or just find some magic beer. After that, the snake gal mentioned something about wanting to learn magic. Rita couldn't say it wasn't an interesting idea but there had to be some catch. That and it wasn't interesting enough to her. Not unless she could turn water to wine or something of the like. "Geh, I just want to brew something good." The goblin mentioned aloud though mostly to herself. She just waited to see what the reply to the Medusa's question was.

Camila just escorted Yasu back to Pine's End. She didn't seem to have any more reason to be here and Yasu seemed to have enough trouble getting here without freaking out, she might as well finish up this little job. She couldn't live with herself if some Poochyena cornered her until some trainer came and helped her out. If they did get attacked on the way back, it wouldn't hurt to get another friend. Perhaps if that Heracross made an act two of it's attack, she would be able to capture it. It was quite strong too, so it wouldn't be a bad addition to the team, though, for Yasu's sake, it'd be best to not run into it. "Well, I'll escort you back Yasu. Just in case."

Regardless of how she felt about it, they returned to town rather easily. She walked Yasu to her house, considering she had little else to do at the moment. "And here you go. Home sweet home for you two." Ace had been flying about the whole time since the Shrine and Camila raised an arm for the bird to comfortably land on. It seemed happy and cooed a bit. "That was mostly uneventful aside the Heracross and that Leah woman. I don't know if we really learned anything about Celebi or the shrine though. Other than the state it was in." Which was dreadful by Camila's thoughts on the matter. She shook her head. "I don't really have any other real leads on it right now though, so I don't know if I'll be all too much help for you with that."

Camila thought about her next move. She had a feeling that Leah woman was involved with the Shrine but... She really didn't know how much she wanted to get involved with her. "Hmm...." Perhaps she'd just move on to the next location toward Peltra, Route 3. Maybe then she could decide between heading west toward Grievor and heading back toward home. "I think I'm going to be heading on my way though, Yasu. Perhaps you'd want to trade contact information? I'm going to be traveling here and there, so I might hear some information you'll want."

Rita was getting irritated by this witchy girl. Getting called drunk when she was quite obviously not drunk. She was much too irritated like this to be drunk but she held her lips. There was no reason to make the situation worse. She walked along with the witch when some little fairy things showed their face before being shoo'd off by Ilsa. After a raised eyebrow at that interaction, she took notice of the flowers as she closed by. They looked familiar, though she wasn't necessarily good with the names of flowers. There were roses.... lilies... Somethings she did recognize though she didn't know the technical name of. And some she just outright didn't recognize. Then there was the case of the mushroom bush. She wanted to ask if they were even safe but she didn't want to question it.

As Rita took a look around, she didn't notice the tortoise until it talked. She didn't even notice it was a tortoise until snake-head mentioned it! "What, talking tortle!" She exclaimed, getting closer to the bearded tortoise to look at him. "He's huge! Like, is he real? Is he one of those animatronics you see at theme parks or some kid's restaurant? Do I need to stay here five nights to see if he does something finicky?" She questioned as she looked. Rather than an animatronic or robot or something.... He looked rather living. Like, a living creature. She blinked a few times.

"Ah, sorry if that was a bit rude big guy. We don't have any huge tortoises with beards where I come.... Though I guess the dragons can be?" She questioned herself, thinking about the reptiles she's heard of before. This place was very much unlike earth for like, many many many reasons. It was hard for her to think this was earth at this point. Green skin, snake haired girl, weird rot creature... Magic? She could use a drink. "But yea, sorry and all that." She noticed Ilsa went inside the building at the point. "Ah!" She ran in after Colleen and the witch girl.

As they all settled inside... Rita just let Colleen talk. Everything sounded crazy to her at this point. Really, it seemed like a dream. Perhaps she was still asleep on the plane and was just thinking about a really weird story. The snake haired woman told the story that she mentioned before about the plane crash and it was hard for Rita to really believe. "Story's hard to believe... But so is the sickening creature earlier, huge tortoise, fairy-things... And whatever you did earlier with that light wall thing. From my point of view, 'least." She mentioned, not sure what to really think aside that they weren't exactly on Earth or hopefully, in a dream.

"Hey now, Witch girl. I'm unapologetically sober right now." Rita said with a huff. "Soberest I've been since that three day straight corporate event where the banned alcohol the entire time..." remembering that horrid moment of sobriety. "Anyhow, sure. I'll follow you. It's stay her and die to that rotting smell or follow you any way."

As she followed the witch girl, she noticed the forest returned to what it once was. Peaceful and, it baring any of the traces of that horrid creature, serene. Along the way, snakey has asked her a question of if they really died and reincarnated or something. "Hard to say. I wasn't quite stacked like this before.... or short. Or green."

Not long after, the little cottage came into view. It felt like something out of a fantasy story. Collean mentioned hansel and gretal. "What, want to get fattened up and eaten by the cute witch girl?" She replied, looking around the place.

The thing that got her more curious than anything were the bloomed flowers. It would be a great way to compare this world to her own. If there were familiar flowers then perhaps more things would be similar. After she took a good look to see if she recognized any of them, she'd question the witch their names.

Pokemon: Dream

After Leah left Camila was just confused about what happened. "Well, that's nice. You got a VIP card to that hotel then." She mentioned to Isla with a shrug before turning to Yasu. "Right now that that lady is gone, what where you looking for here, exactly? Anything we can help find?" She asked, looking around the place. If Yasu told her what she was looking for, she'd be happy to help if not she'd probably take a peak all around the shrine and figure out what secrets it may hold on her own. "The place looks rather destroyed." Camila mentioned, looking with extra attention at where the burn marks were on some things that seemed like they were rather recent.

Reborn in a Fantasy World, This Time I Shall...!

"Uwwwwwwaaaaagggg..... The hell is that thing! It's so damn gross!" rita was held over the medusa's shoulder and got a horrifying constant view of the monster chasing them. The smell was disgusting. Sickly sweet rot to mix with the look. The sounds it emanated, the sickly green ooze... The Centipedes... There was nothing not disgusting about this thing! "I forgot your name snakey... But I'm feeling sick..."

Soon enough however there was something odd. A girl. A... weird cosplayer? It wasn't something Rita could judge really. There was a golden wall of light seperating them and the creature. It was wanting.... revenge or something? Rita couldn't pay attention. She felt sicker than when she drank far too much. The smell just kept to her nose. As soon as the witch girl hit the medusa with her stick? Staff? Whatever. Rita used the moment to wiggle out of the snake's grasp and started to dry heave. God she felt the inner need to throw up from that smell. Nothing came up however. She made some horrifying noises herself but soon enough her nose and stomach felt a small bit better. She seemed to be cured by whatever amount of clean air there was with that light wall going up and the creature leaving. "I hate this forest. I hate that gross deer skull thing. I need beer..." She muttered to herself finding herself sitting now. She wasn't even sure when she managed to do that without knowing.

The goblin took a deep breath of air before standing up. "Listen, uh, girlie? I don't know. Whoever the hell you are. Thanks? I think. Let me get one thing straight, I'd never go to a place like that one purpose, you know? I just want to do my job and drink lots of alcohol, ya' dig?" She mentioned, "In fact, I don't know why I AM here. Was I too... Wait." It was then that something dawned on her as she turned to Colleen. "You! Uhh, Celine! Snake-head! You said something earlier, plane crash! Were we on the same plane that crashed!? I was black-out drunk, I don't remember that!" She exclaimed as both of her hands gripped around Colleen's leg and started to push and pull on it desperately. "I was too busy with work to die!"

She took a second to hold back any amount of tears she might have released as she tightened her grip on Colleen's leg a small bit before releasing and taking a step back. "Ugh... So like... Why do I look so green and short...." She looked frustrated before her eyes went wide and looked between the people present. "In spite of any change.... Am I still a bombshell like I remember?" She seemed a little excited about that as she tried studying her body as best she could. "I need a mirror."

The woman turned so suddenly and then spoke nothing for a time. Camila wasn't entirely sure if she should speak or not. As she was about to, however the woman finally gave words. She introduced herself as Leah and asked what they were doing? Before Camila could respond, Yasu did. To which Leah mentioned something about not believing in chance meetings and asking a question.

Dreams? Desires? Well, who didn't have those? Still, she wondered if she should mention any of hers to this odd woman calling herself an Old Lady. She only looked about ten years older than Camila herself. It was a little odd to Camila that a woman that looked to be in her thirties or so would call herself that. Then Yasu called the woman an Old Hag... Camila felt like she was missing something, though that could be Yasu being her own abrasive self.

Then Camila noticed the woman turn to Isla and herself and ask them to answer. Isla gave a pretty non-commital answer to the woman saying she was living her dream as best she could. Camila didn't really mention anything about her desire to run a lab like the Professor in the future but she did mention something to at least placate this "old" woman. "Perhaps fill out this catalogue of Pokemon for the Professor so I can go back to my nice assistant job at the lab?" She mentioned, half joking as this was by sheer technicality... The very same job she was doing right now...
