First of the summer days was sunny and hot. Far away from any big city lays lake, trapped at the bottom of the wide valley. Its waters was deep, clear and full of life. Some time next to the west shore grew a small, quiet town called Sapphire Lake. Center of the town was located close to the lake, surrounded by small houses, few shops, and farms on the west side. The area was fertile, so farms grew, peoples stays and come new one. Later residents built a school, a town hall, and finally: pokecenter. With time, the outside world noticed the existence of Sapphire Lake and tourist started come to. Most of them were hikers that treated the town as a stop on the trail, or poketrainers in search of wild pokemons. Despite the small tourist traffic, the area remained dependent mainly on agriculture. Early in afternoon two cars stopped at the top of the hill. The road, winding and narrow, ended at yard, near the two storied house. The building was high, wooden, with large windows and balcony overlooking the lake. Next to the house was huge barn, and behind those buildings stretched out hectares overgrown by corn and wheat. Top of the hill also offered a wide view on the lake and town below. Water was deep blue, sparkling in summer sun. On the other side of lake forest stretched to the horizon, and - at the south side - crawled onto the mountainside. Cars switched off engines. From first, big, family car stepped out a tall middle-aged man. He was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans. His hairs was short and brown, skin tanned from the sun and fieldwork. "So... We here at last" He said, pointing at the house. Men was rather a silent type, probably not used to large company. But when he picked up from train station five of his nephews, he looks quite pleased, even a little excited. He greeted them effusively and ask to call him "Uncle Robert" "Make yourself at home" Said Uncle Robert. He went to the trunk and pulled out luggage, lots of backpacks and suitcases. Second car was an old, gray pickup, that looks like it seen better days. Only two seats in the cab, but a back of the car was another pile of luggage. The driver turned out to be some short, old woman in blue dress. She had blond hair wrapped in a tight bun with plenty of colorful beads sticks into it. "Do you need help with that?" She asked a man. "Nah, it's OK Martha. I can handle all this from this point. Thank you for your help.""Of course. Anytime." Woman smiled.

Orelia rushed out of the steamy car. After the packed up drive, even though the windows were down, she was sweating like she couldn't remember before.
[Orelia]: "Fiuuuu. I was not going to last too much longer inside there." The teenager knelt walked to the hill overview to look towards the lake and gaze at the view for an instant. "It's been much too long since we last came." - She grinned.
The tough girl went back to the car as her uncle started to unpack the things and started grabbing heavy bags trying to prove her strength to her uncle although struggling to move.
[Orelia]: "Come on y'all, lets get inside!! if we finish early maybe we can go for a swim!! or for a run around the mountains!!"
From a pokeball on her waist a beam of red light emerged and a grey pokemon of strong arms came out.
[Machop]: "Maaaaaachoooop" He called out as he burst with a strong pose.
The pokemon started grabbing other bags and followed the trainer with a happy skip.

Celia exits the car next, holding her small aerodactyl that had been sitting/laying on her lap, it was an odd being, more wispy than rough. They would both collectively yawn as they share a mind, notified by both of their eyes glowing, "what a trip... What awaits us now, I wonder?" The ghost aerodactyl looks around while she supports it.

Amelia slid out of the car along with her sewaddle sitting atop her head. She stretched a little before collecting her luggage and heading towards the house.
"This is will be a pleasant change of pace"

Melia stretched the stiffness out of her body as she got out of the car and released her pokemon, a chesspin she called Cece. She hated long car rides and was glad they were finally in fresh air again.
Her pokemon explored the area around the car while she grabbed her bag from back of the car. With her gaze focused on the beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding forest, she headed inside after her cousins.

Orelia saw Celia's partner. The strange creature had those strange eyes, that strange look every time that Orelia looked its way. Chills went through her spine every time she looked at the strange creature, even Kip, her Machop, shuddered every time he was close to the Aerodactyl. That had been the reason why Orelia had gone in the other car instead of the same as Celia.
[Orelia]: "Why do you always have to have it out of the ball?!"

Slowly and carefully, Elias left the car, holding his tiny puffball of a Pokemon in his hands as he had from the start of the trip, it cowering before the ghost, stuffing its face into its trainer. While he had to admit, it was very unsettling for him, too, it hadn't done anything yet, so surely, it wasn't so bad? "We're here now, there's nothing to worry about." The singer said right before starting to hum a calm tune, gently petting his Igglybuff, Mignon. "It's just as much a Pokemon as any other. Most importantly of all... May we all enjoy ourselves here!" Of course, he was referring to his cousins and sibling. He had packed rather lightly in comparison, so his luggage was something he could manage to carry by himself, even if it could be somewhat difficult to hold it with his hands occupied at the moment, assuming no one took the luggage for him.

"Are you all poketrainers?" Woman asked. "That is so cute! I do not have pokemon of my own, but my son has a card to." She of course referred to trainer card. "He has that pokemon that he called Namiria, but it is probably its name, not species. Are you enjoying being with your pokemons? They look so cute."There was a lot of luggage, as they are suppose to stay at Sapphire Lake for the whole summer break. After a while all backpack and suitcases were carried to the hallway on the second floor. The walls and floor were made from light, varnished wood, filled with faint smell of resin and pine. All rooms were on right side of corridor, when left was brighter by windows, through which one could see northern side with mountains and forest. "There are three rooms, two beds in each. This one has a balcony. Bathroom is on the end of hallway." Uncle Robert pointed at one of the wooden doors. "Second one and the kitchen are on the ground floor at your disposal if you are planning cooking by yourself. Well If you need anything let me know."All rooms was bright, wooden, with low, slanted ceiling and one big window, but room with balcony was slightly bigger. Inside each were two beds, witch small cabinets and set of folded bedclothes, one wardrobe, some shelf and chairs.

[Orelia]: Elias!! Come and get in here!! - Orelia called to her brother as she and Kip dumped their luggage on the beds of one of the normal bedrooms. She opened the windows so that the early summer breeze would enter and clear up the smell of the place being closed. She looked out into the window and stared at the space while she waited for her brother to show up. The machop was getting bored and started to pull on the trainer, pointing out to the nice area around the house. Yeah, once Elias gets here we will go out for a little train. We need to run and see what's around the area.

Amelia picked the room with the balcony placed her luggage inside and began digging around in them looking for somethings. As she was doing this her sewaddle was moving about the room taking in the surroundings. After a bit she found so things for when she and the other will go out before heading back down stairs.

Celia looks around at the unnerved crowd, "uhh, because he doesn't like it in a pokeball, don't worry Terefi is quite tame." She'd gather her own luggage and wanders in. "I love being with Pokemon, I wouldn't give it up for anything" Celia goes to the room with the balcony too, if Amelia wouldn't mind bunking with her that is. The balcony would be great for one with a flying Pokemon, she thinks to herself. Once she's done picking out her room she'd close her eyes, linking her mind and senses to get spooky dinobird and goes to where the others are, spookydactyl in tow. Channeled aerodactyl, bind 2 ap for shared senses

"The rooms look really nice.", Melia told the woman. She entered the last room and placed her luggage on one of the bed. After looking around the room for a while, she joined the other people again. "Do you want to go outside soon?"

"Right, I'm coming!!" Elias called back to his sister, arriving shortly to what would be their room for a long, long while. With all the luggage brought in, there wasn't much to do here right now. So while he wasn't much for physical training outside of doing what he had to do at home, he might as well watch, at least, and sing a song to inspire them and keep them going.

Celia, carrying her ghostly bird, decides she would also explore a bit, walking to explore the town, and at least memorize where everything is, but rather than look around herself, her companion would be looking around and she would be using its sight. It'd be kinda odd to anyone who didn't know of her power, to see her just not paying attention. Celia would also be listening for any rumors or gossip in the area. If nothing interesting is brought up, she'd return back to the house shortly after.

Mignon was no challenge for Kip, so instead of challenging her own brother, Orelia just accompanied him outside.
[Orelia]: Come on, lez go for a walk 'round the place and look at th'area. Then you can tell all 'bout your new school.

Outside was still warm, summer afternoon. Still plenty of time before sunset. Large portion of the farm was occupied by fields of corn, that were slightly waving in the wind. Further, near horizon one could see a dark green line of trees. Somewhere there was a tractor (probably driven by Uncle Robert), not visible right now, but low sound of its engine was quite audible in this quiet countryside. Now on the yard was empty, excluding one family car and a small group of Pidgeys, that was rummaging dirt in search of bugs and strays seeds. Group of five young people slowly walked the road toward town. From time to time they passed some wild Rattatas, Spearows and Zigzagoons, that either fled quickly into the bushes, or completely ignored passers-by. Sapphire Lake was small town, with small houses and one main road that went through the whole town and further disappeared between a wooded hills. Town has small central square surrounded by public buildings: town hall, school, police station and post office. The whole area has only three shops, one pokemart and pokecenter, one stand with fast food and second with ice-creams near the beach, and two very small hotels. There wasn't a crowd on the streets, moust of passers-by was towns people busy with their own affairs, but from time to time someone looked at newcomers and watched for a moment, realizing that is no one they know. On the corner, near square there was Lucario hunging up some flyer on bulletin board. Pokemon ran to the kids and showed them one of the flyers and trying to give one.

Celia blinks and walks over to the flyer, huh a missing purrloin? She could handle that easily. She'd check for a reward and regardless of there being one or not, take a picture of the flyer and heads back to the house to show the others, she'd like to at least take one other person with her in case of actual danger.
Upon arrival at the house, she'd seek out the others and see if they would like to help, approaching each and seeing if they were willing.

After a walk around the area Orelia prepares some orange juices for both herself and her brother. They are in the kitchen when Celia comes in rushing with a flyer on her hand. She seems a bit excited and worried as she places the flyer on the counter table where both Orelia and Elias can see it.
[Orelia]: Whas happening? - She asked as she handed a glass of juice to Celia as well. Then Orelia looked at the flyer and then jumped back. We must help and find it!

The idea of going out into the forest to explore had the martial artist highly excited. She grabbed her brother close by as she rushed everyone out the door.
[Orelia]: So let's go out and take a look. Let's go to the West Forest!! - Her words were hyper as was her state of mind.
