The Magikarp is so weak that Justin can capture it without even trying, so he does.
Magikarp is captured! Level 5. Male. Timid. Simple Ability. Special: knows the Move Water Sport.
When Justin's Pokédex alerts him to the fact that this Magikarp is slightly unique and he finds that it knows Water Sport, he remembers that the Move Water Sport grants the Fountain Capability, so now he has a Water-type that will allow him to cross the desert!

The motion made his brow raise as she cleaned the nonexistent spill on his front, before the witty remark flew out at him. He stifled a laugh, as he put the tossed napkin on the table, leaving some change on the table for his food and tip.
“Alright. I will try and go fetch him.” He said, turning to leave before stopping and looking back at her. “Suppose today you confirmed one thing for me that shows how much you are like Houndour there.” he started, leaving a pregnant pause before waving off and leaving as he spoke. “You bark just as mean as you bite.~” he said with a cheeky intonation as he left.

Asa
The young woman stood and left her portion of the cost and tip on the table as well. "If he's gonna take Justin dinner, I suppose we have some time to kill. What do you say, want to go track down something wild to practice against?"
Leaving the diner with the Houndour in tow, Asa walked toward Route 1 in the fading afternoon light.
Action Asa will use her third daily event to find wild pokemon.

Asa heads to where Tumbleweed Town meets Route 01 and stays in that small, defined area, keeping an eye out for wild Pokémon. Soon, she finds one.

Heading off with the small amount of dinner in hand, he made his way back towards the pound where Justin still must be. Maybe he had caught a water type by now. Actually seemed he...maybe did? His Dex alerted him of a new capture. A Magikarp? I mean it was water type but...would that work? Hard to say.
I mean, techincally as much as it was a water type, the Goldeen would not be really of much use to him in a desert environ. maybe, if possible he would swap out for one of his others using his Dex function at some point? As long as he was not seen doing it, should be fine right?

Justin looked over the newly caught Magikarp's Pokedex entry. It was certainly not the most impressive Water type he could have found. It looked like it would work for crossing the desert though. The locals probably specifically stocked a breed that knew Water Sport for exactly that reason.
He returned the fishing rod to its owner, thanking the man with a smile. Noting Bo's approach while he put his still-damp coat back on, Justin raised a hand in greeting. "I caught one finally," he said, holding up his Pokedex for the younger boy to see, though he had presumably received a notification already. "I think it'll probably count. Are we ready to get going?"

It wasn't too long before Asa rejoined the boys. Her trip to the edge of town had been a quick one. Their 'Dex notifications let them know that she had captured a new Pokemon and the Houndour walking beside her seemed quite proud of it's performance.
Asa waved to the boys. "Hey! So we're all set to head out tomorrow bright and early then?" She motioned to her Pokedex and then to Justin's dripping coat. "Did that one manage to get you wet too, or you're still wet from your swim with the anchor? Either way, we should head back to the Center and prep for tomorrow. You can't travel like that anyway."

"Well hello there, little guy!" Justin said, crouching down in front of Asa's new Pokemon. He totally ignored her comment on his dampness. It wouldn't be funny again for at least two iterations. That was just how comedy worked. "Aren't you just the goodest boi I've ever seen?" Puppy talk came naturally to Justin, but he dropped it as he pet the top of the Houndour's head, speaking to the humans in the group. "I'm certainly good to go. I can make some candy bars for the road too, from all these berries I've been finding around."

Asa smirked at the grimaced at the puppy talk. People had done that with Brandy too, she just never understood why. "What about you, Bo? Are you ready to head out in the morning? I just want to sell some things when we get back to the Center and I'll be all set."
She remembered seeing an object that caught her attention on one of the displays and couldn't wait to go and purchase it for the trip.

"Yeah, certainly. Not much I really needed to finish off before we have to leave. Would be good with getting to the desert early as we can tomorrow."

"Ok. Bright and early it is. I’m going to do some shopping and then head to bed. Don’t stay up too late."
Asa gave her best motherly impression before giving a wave and heading back toward the Center.

"Sounds good, Justin says, giving Asa a cheery wave. "I think I'll just take a walk around. A nice evening stroll is always relaxing before a good night's sleep."
Justin is going to do his luck roll: 1Z8GW3rJ1d20
And all of his daily events, to also find items! 1d201d201d20

Asa has quite a heavy pack of items from the few days they had been in town. She sold much of it before purchasing the item she had been eyeing since first arriving.
The heavily braided bullwhip felt at home in its clasp on her hip as she walked to her room to pack for their journey through the desert.

The rest at the center was nice, and relaxing, at least till he went to sleep. He still needed to work harder. his dreams just kept playing over that one botched battle over and over. Had to be something that could be done.
With sleep behind him, he woke the next moren, feeling a little sore and off, He made his way along to get some fruit, eating it a bit lazily. Fresh day, hopefully off for the desert. Maybe things will go more right once they get there.

"Bright and early" probably meant something different for Asa than it did for Justin. He did wake up early, but after his own lengthy morning routine, he spent a long time training his Pokemon for the day's travels. Then, he also spent a while cooking, using the berries he'd been collecting. All together, it was a couple hours after waking up that he was finally ready to leave.
Justin applies focused training to Nike, Caesar, and Brutus (Roggenrola, Shinx, and Dhelmise). He also makes the three of them Chic for two tutor points each, and binds Dashing Makeover on Brutus to give it the effect of Go-Goggles. He spends one tutor point on Laius (Magikarp) to change his nature to Adamant. Finally, with 450 food scrap from the various berries, Justin makes nine candy bars, two of which go to Caesar and Brutus, and one which he eats himself.

After a sound rest, Asa woke up well before morning light to start her training with Maw and Flare. She knew it would take longer than when it was just her and Brandy, but both Pokémon were responsive to the regiment in order to get stronger.
She sat down for breakfast as the Sun broke over the horizon. The Pokémon were treated to a hearty meal and were famished from the exercise.

Things like breakfast and morning training are complete. Now everyone is ready to begin their day in earnest. They realize that, if there's anything else they'd like to do in town, this is their last chance.

Asa finished her breakfast and picked up her pack. "Is everyone set? I've got everything I need."
She seemed relatively excited to get going. Perhaps it had something to do with the three fossils carefully wrapped in her pack, just screaming to get to a reanimation machine. Her newly acquired houndour stays out of it's ball. The little crocodile had short stubby legs, walking wasn't an enjoyable event for him.
The young woman looked at her Pokedex for a brief moment before moving toward the doors to exit the Center and get onto Route 1!
