The Kecleon shifts uncertainly on Terra's shoulder, the weight wandering back and forth, back and forth. She can feel the brush of its head frills against her cheek as it considers the ball. Eventually, it moves to the top of her pack and settled. A slight edging of its body tighter against the back of her neck, a hand and leg gripping at her shoulder for support where it's tail might have before.
Catching up with Stag and Shiv reveals the pair getting along famously, though with a few more injuries then they had prior to their 'making up'. Whitney points Terra in the direction of Mahogany Town, where Thel and Em have gone to petition the gym leader and his following to come to a carnival planned for Goldenrod as a Festival of Restoration.
On her way out of Goldenrod, she walks past a towering older man with pale green hair and a broad cape. He has a lens over one eye, and speaks in low tones with a statuesque woman with impressively long blonde hair. (Make a perception and an intuition check please.)

There were no complaints from Terra at her latest companion getting into a position where it would be comfortable. The short trip allowed her to adjust to the new difference. The sight of Shiv and Stag was charming in a way to see them having 'made up'. They probably were going to take some time to talk to the other two of their group, so she didn't mind if Stag wanted to stay behind for this trip. Knowing where to find Thel, she gave a simple nod of thanks before dismissing herself. With the thoughts about trying to remember how much time had passed since she was swallowed up by the whale. She almost missed the pair at first; until she took a second glance. They stuck out to her somewhat with the choice of fashion. Perception: 18
Intuition: 10

Terra is immediately put on edge, something is unsettling about the duo. What she hears is even worse.
"It's time. The experiments with Ultra Energy have reached their pinnacle, and Giovanni has outlived his usefulness. The chaff have been brushed aside, and their plans failed. Imagine, being taken in or defeated by children." The sharpness and bitterness of her tone spoke volumes to how she thought. "All will become one at the Lake of Rage, and a god will be born."
"Another world's truth taking root here. These... new humans were only a half measure. An accident. If they were meant to be, it will temper what comes. I'll gather my men."

As she listened, instinctively one of her hands curled into a fist as she heard Giovanni's name. That made her focus on the words that were leaving the pair's mouths while she walked. There was no doubt that they had some kind of involvement with all the crazy that had been happening around here.
She keeps her pace past them, at least until she turns a corner. She stops, withdrawing her Pokedex from a pocket. If the two were still visible she would take a photo first. Otherwise she would begin calling Whitney. It was important to get the new information to the Gym Leader. Then she take her own action at the news she just learned.

Engrossed as the pair are in their discussion, they don't notice Terra grabbing the photo. Whitney seems surprised to hear from her again so soon, but after consulting Goldenrod's police force the green haired man is identified as Ghetsis, known for creating a regional insurrection under the guise of a "Freedom for Pokemon" movement. Whitney spends the afternoon in calls and begins to rally the gyms that evening. It is a true call to arms.
Terra is awarded two full restores and two max revives from Whitney's stores before she begins her hasty journey to the north and east.

At least Terra had grown enough to realize that this situation had needed some thought before acting. A good thing too, based on what she learned about who the man was, and the location of interest.
She couldn't very well just mosey around hoping that things worked out well. A glance into her pocket, not enough money to try and get much in terms of other supplies. A slight huff of annoyance leaves her chest as she gets her pack adjusted again.
Unless she ran into anyone she knew on the way out of town, she would be heading out alone. So be it. Those of importance would hear about what was happening from others. Those that weren't, would be out of immediate danger of that area.
If alone, she would call upon Queen to fly her the majority of the way, until about Mahogany Town then travel the rest on foot. If she had come into company, she would travel with them.

"Heyyyy!" Stag called after Terra as she turned to mount Queen and head off alone, a crowd of people at her rear. Kursz and Shiv flanked her, and as the squad caught up she crossed her arms and smiled proudly.
"You weren't going off to war without a battle sister, were you? Cause I think that's minimum a headlock. We're in, on behalf of the Goldenrod Underground Ring and the Hive."

Hearing the now pretty familiar voice, she stops in her action. One hand resting on Queen's back, with a turn, she blinks in surprise at the group that had caught up to her.
For a moment its shown that she is caught off guard, mouth partly agape in trying to figure out where to start. "Ah," Terra starts before shaking her head "I wasn't sure about everyone coming," she admits trailing off some. Eyes skimming over the three, there had been some hesitation initially in asking Stag because of being a new Pokemon Trainer.
She realized now that it was a disrespect to their own capabilities. "I guess I'll deserve that headlock, if you can get it," she adds with a partial grin, in a way to apologize to the other.

"If she says. Pshh." Stag purses her lips and blows out a scoff. "You can feel it in the air can't you? It's like the world has come alive. S'like when that thing blew up and ripped a hole in the sky over Goldenrod, only now it isn't right here." She cocked her head, perfectly coifed hair-horns shadowing her face. "So let's maul it until it leaves, and we'll party afterwards at the new place."
Kursz offers Terra a hand to shake, still the large hoodied boy he was, but now sporting a pair of impromptu shields on his forearms with long spikes made of random assorted sharpened bits. "Hey uh, we didn't really get to know each too well before everything went to shit, but... I'm guessing Muku's going to be where we're headed. Got some kind of weird... I don't know..." He squints. "Intrusive thought? That she needed someone. Didn't sound like me though."

"Right, its off," Terra comments about the same feeling of the previous hole that had been ripped in the sky above Goldenrod. The mention of the new place had her give a small grin at the thought of attempting a party with Mewtwo.
There's a moment before Terra reaches out and gives it a single firm shake. Letting him speak, there is a slight confused expression at the mention of Muku in combination of 'thought'. Granted a lot could have happened since they were last together.
"If that's right, then we shouldn't hang around longer than needed," Terra decides looking to her new group members. "You have everything you need?" she asks first. "We've got a trip ahead of us. Right into a Shit Storm," finishing with a glance towards the direction they were going. There would be a short time of figuring out the travel plan. The sooner they got moving the better. Especially if what Kursz mentioned about Muku was true.

Underway within the quarter hour, it was a forced march to the Lake of Rage. With the company, there was a sense of rivalry and friendship that pushed limits farther then might've ever been before. The arrival at Mahogany town came as the sun set on the world, and things were already underway.
