The cinder plains, fir their name, were not very burning and or on fire. In fact the just seemed to be normal fields, albeit with less trees then those of Aurian. The large group moved along the roads and paths towards their ultimate destination. Before then though many sights were beheld like a herd of Ponyta and Blitzle grazing in the fields.

Aluche looked around the plains as she walked, searching for a good Pokemon to add to her team.

Having spent most of her life holed up in Aurian's Grand Cathedral, Erinna found wonder in even this simple plane that was the first leg of their journey. "Oh, princess, look!" the priestess said, pointing to a group of Ponyta, her eyes sparkling. "Aren't they just beautiful?" It would be dishonest to say that when Erinna was a child she hadn't dreamed of a romance with a knight in shining armour that rode a majestic stead. Of course, that would never be possible for her, but at the moment, her mind held a very similar image of Princess Aluche astride one of these horses, its flames reflected in her liquid silver hair. "...Should we catch them?" she asked, meekly. "I mean, we can't walk everywhere, right?"

Raoul was nearby the mageknight Ameli, following her quietly while keeping an eye on their surroundings. He wasn't sure how good of a time they could make it through the plains, but then again there was also no harm in taking the scenic route, was there? Besides, maybe he'd see something interesting in here that he might want to add to his team. And if not... well, the sun's touch upon his skin was still as welcome and yet foreign as it always was.

Babs bobbed along at the front of the group riding Boggy. Happily puffing on her pipe while she looked around at the vast expanse, she still wasn't quite used to anything but farmland or woods so this vast emptiness was strange to her. She noted the grazing Pokemon with curiosity, she already had a partner to ride in old Boggy but that girl was right the others could use some mounts. Now that she was thinking about it who was that girl again, they'd been introduced when they first set out but she'd barely been paying attention then. Hmmm.. Ah! It was Erinna. Either Way they should use the chance to get the group on firmer footing. Babs leaned over and commented to her.
"It'd make getting around a mighty sight easier. If we got everyone mounted up think of the time we could make! Keheheh!"

As the group continued to walk Ameli suddenly stopped, rather abruptly as she laughed aloud, "Yes, yes indeed some rides would be preferable, we should stop by the village on the way then. We can buy some mounts if we don't want to catch them." Not as fun yes but it would be one way to get some transpotation
Aluche's Perception results: A small group of dog-like creatures roll and play off the main road, one looks slightly more pink with a poof of fur like a pomp.
Eevee registered
(If anyone wants to catch the Ponyta/Blitzle they can make a d100 roll for it to save time, any roll >40 will be a catch. Eevees will need a bit more of roleplay though to catch)

Aluche stops short upon seeing the adorable Eevees.
T-They're so cute! What do I do, Malvasia?! WHAT DO I DO?! Why are ya asking me? Oh my Arceus, they're even more adorable than imagined! Well then ya should probably calm down before ya scare 'em away.
Hearing that she might scare them away allowed Aluche to take a deep breath and calm down. As for how she would approach them, she came up with an idea after a bit of thinking. She walked over to the group, stopping a little ways away, and sat down on the grass. Then she let Shirai out of her seal so that she could convey feelings of safety to the group of Eevees, especially the pink one. Preparations complete, she began to beckon them with a gentle smile.

Babs looked at the horde of Eevee with a practiced eye, trying to determine which ones from the group might be worth catching. While these Eeevee weren't quite what she was used to Babs was sure that they would be close enough. Babs let the Aluche approach while she stayed on Boggy, who absently started eating a bit of the turf. Babs Pokemon Ed. to determine gender and use Pokemaniac n__rdK3D5d6 5d6

The Eevee stopped their playing as they looked up at the approaching Princess and her Pokemon. The pink-tinted Eevee moved in front of it's friend to defend it before seeing the smiled. It cautiously approached still not sure of the intentions of the newcomers.
Babs results: Eevee lvl 22 Normal/-- Female, Cuddly, Sprint Eevee lvl 26 Normal/Fairy Male, Brave, Sprint/Adaptability

Aluche smiled and takes out a Candy Bar(or whatever this world equivalent is) and holds it out to the pink Eevee. Shirai tried to convey that they weren't going to hurt them.

Babs chewed on the end of her pipe as she looked over the bunch, these were pretty strong Eevees all things considered. They'd do.
"The pink'uns a boy, he seems like a tough little scrapper. The one he's protectin's a girl, maybe their a mated pair? Might be a good idea to keep em together."

The male Eevee sniffs at the bar before the other approaches as well. As they begin to nibble on the bar the male lets the other take charge of the food as it sniffs at Aluche's hand. After a few moments the regularly colored Eevee finishes and nuzzles her hand as well, rubbing against Aluche's leg afterwards. The male still seems skeptical but continues watching the scene.

Erinna was somewhat disappointed by the princess' dismissal of the fire horses, her mental image shattering. She did try to catch one for herself though. It would be good to have at least one Pokemon that wouldn't be melted by anything in Broksin. She didn't know much about battling, but she had been taught type match-ups well enough, and she knew her two thirds Grass, one third Steel team would have some trouble in the near future.
Further on, the group of travelers encountered a small pack of fuzzy little foxes. They were absolutely adorable. Princess Aluche seemed much more interested in these then she had been in the glorious flaming equestrians. "Are you sure these are what you want on your team, your highness?" the priestess asked as the brown Eevee cowered behind the pink one. "I don't think they look very strong." Cuteness was all well and good, but Aluche needed powerful Pokemon to win the championship. No matter how amazing she was, it was the strength of her team that would determine how she performed.

Aluche smiles and starts gently petting the Eevee that's rubbing against her leg while using her free hand to produce another candy bar for the Eevee to nibble on. "I am absolutely sure. They may seem weak now, but I've read that if raised right they can become all sorts of things. There are currently eight different known 'Eeveelutions' as they are called, and each of a different type. Fire, Water, Electric, Dark, Psychic, Grass, Ice, and Fairy. And those are just the known ones."

The cuddling Eevee begins to make a content sound before jumping back and seeming to chat with its companion. The pinkish Eevee gets a 'You Serious?' look to it's face while the other seems completely happy and nods. After a few more back and forths the two walk to Aluche and sit in front of her, the affectionate of the two smiling broadly at the Princess.

"Well it seems you two have made up your minds. I take it you'll be coming along with me?" Aluche says, gently picking them up. "Hmmmm...What to call you though..." She looks to the pink male. "You look like a 'Cloud' to me. She looks to the normal female. "And you look like "Aerith" would fit you. Well, it's nice to meet you, Cloud and Aerith! My name is Aluche."

Raoul just watched as the others proceeded to get side-tracked by pokemon, because of course they would be. He just decided to wait in the wings until they finished, not being interested in any of the pokemon he can currently see around here.

Aleri watched as well, she wasn't concerned with grabbing any new comrades and was fine with Morgana and Torkin. As for Aurora she though of trying her luck with one of the equine Pokemon around.

Valerie was less concerned with the Pokemon around as she was on more on the mindset of their ultimate mission. Avesta.1-100

As Aluche is obsessing over her new Eevee friends, the sound of someone clearing their throat snaps her out of her reverie.
"Excuse me, Milady. Is it alright for me to introduce myself?" The Kirlia known as Shirai says, with her head bowed.
"Yes, I do believe this is as good a time as any. Go ahead and proceed." Aluche says, before returning her attention to her Eevees. In response, Shirai turns toward the rest of the group and gives a perfect curtsy. "Salutations, everyone. As you may have surmised, my name is Shirai. I have been by Milady's side since I day she was born. During that time, I taught myself to speak so that I may better support her in anyway I can as both a partner and an assistant." Shirai says this out loud before she turns to Raoul and contacts him through telepathy. While I am at it, Milady wished to ask you if you knew the location of an Uxie. She wishes to ask it the exact god that is to be summoned so that she may begin preparations that are more specific than that which she's been doing up until now.

Babs' mouth hung open a big, she tried to think back but she really couldn't think of a time she'd seen something quite like this. She awkwardly flopped off of Boggy's back and sidled up near the strange Pokemon, beginning to examine it. She'd seen Kirila before but speaking? That was something for the record book. She gave it a critical eye, trying to see if there was something that would differentiate it from others of its kind.
"Ya taught yerself to speak eh? How hard was it? Was it difficult gettin yer point across in the beginning? How did people react when you first started talkin? What was it like growing up as a Pokemon among humans? Why'd you decide to start tryin to speak? How do other 'Mon react when you talk to em? How do people treat you? They kind to you? If not I'll clobber em for ya. When'd you say people could start understandin you? Why'd you keep at it? You got them mind powers, right? Why'd you decide speakin was better than usin yer powers? Thinkin on it, what's it like to use yer psychicy powers? How's it feel? What's it like in one of them "Seal" dealies?"
Babs, slightly out of breath takes a puff of her pipe for a moment as she lets her previous tirade sink in.
