Raven and Natalie decide that the lake sounds like a nice place to visit. Moonlight reflecting on the water is often a wondrous sight to behold. Plus, it might be nice to get an idea of the length/breadth/depth of the lake in case she wants to go swimming at some point. Assuming it's even safe to do so.

Nathan tilted his head when the Micheal shaked his head. "Not hungry? I understand." He said as he began to pack up his food once more, he'll likely try and find somewhere to quietly sell them... Actually it might be better if he tried to sell them tonight, while they were still fresh. Once he packed up the food and cloth, he pat the Mightyena once last time before reaching out for the door. "Good night Micheal, and thank you once again." He said with a smile as he opened the door and walked in. As he entered, he quietly closed the connection between him and Micheal, leaving just Echo as his only connection. The room seemed to have most of the living accommodations he needed. A bed, a bathroom and a small section that looked like a kitchen. Still, for a year, this was gonna be his own place. No parents to tell him what to do, no parents to tell him "Its too dangerous for you..." It was then that he noticed that his luggage was by the foot of the bed, which Nathan began to unpack. Clothing, a few books for later on, toiletries, stuff like that. Eventually, he pulled out two boxes, one for cooking and another for grooming. "Say Echo... I didn't give you a grooming today did I?" He asked, only now realizing that he had forgotten in his excitement. Echo gave a single meep, which was his way of saying no. Smiling softly to himself, he took off his sunglasses and placed them on the T.V Stand. "Alright, Lets fix that right away." He said as he began to unpack the grooming kit, pulling out a small, fine brush. "You wanna go for the Tough look again, right?" He asked, and felt Echo's answer through the connection. Once Nathan had taken a seat on the floor, Echo followed by flying to his lap. He had done this enough times with Echo to do it by memory. Lightly brush the body, very lightly brush the wings, let Echo suckle on some Sweet Candy. For ten minutes, the pair exchanged their emotions, their hopes and their dreams. He was happy to have Echo in his life, he couldn't imagine starting this journey without him. Although Nathan liked Growlithe, he always felt like his parents made Growlithe into a collar, to keep him in their sights. "Serves them right, considering he always wanted to come with me during the nights I saw you." He mused softly, as he finalized the grooming. As he began to pack away his grooming stuff, Echo flew around the room, exploring his new environment and the best places to roost. He had to close the connection between them for a little while, till Echo was nice and calm. "Alright Echo, lets go sell some of this food" He called out, establishing the connection once more as he placed his sunglasses on. With Echo landing on his shoulder once more, he grabbed his bag of food and left the hotel. Nathan did his exp training for the day, via the Groomer Edge Echo has eaten some Sweet Candy, and has gained the Sweet Digestion Buff.
It took them awhile to find the botanical gardens, but a few connections here and there ensured that they found the right place. He made a mental note to come back once he had more in the way of seeing, but the outlines looked nice at the very least. Once he found a spot with a decent amount of people passing through, he sat down on a railing and laid out the cloth, setting all the food he had made, including three bottles of his experimental Sour Sarsaparilla "Evening folks, come and grab a tasty snack as you enjoy this beautiful night! I got Salty Pretzels and Sour Gummies, I got Spicy Pepper Wraps and Bitter Mushrooms. All snacks are 175! But if you're thirsty, I got something exciting for you. Sour Sarsaparilla, it'll make you fight back to enjoy the taste! 250 for a bottle, everything is a limited quantity so come and grab them while they're here." He called out to the group, his nervousness being made apparent as Echo tried to fly around, getting the crowd's attention by looking Tough.

"Mmmm, think I'll head to Aurora after the welcoming party tomorrow. For tonight....think I'll see if I can't find that Lunatone, at the very least I should find something worth my time by the lake."
Jotting down the information for both, and putting the paper in his pocket, he briefly considers ordering something to eat, but thinks better of it, and pulls back out the map to find his way to the lake. A trip or two and he should know the general way to get there, though he was never.....the best with directions.

The lake is safe looking. The shallows are clear and do not look deep at all.
Chris is able to find the Lunatone. It appears to be searching around looking for something or someone.
Nathan is able to get the attention of multiple people as they pass and sells 75% of his items.

Well he wasn't expecting such a good turn out for his fight nice, a good chunk of all the snacks he made was sold in the course of half an hour. It was rather slow at first, but once people saw how enjoyable the snacks were they started coming in. He didn't expect his whole supply of Dry Herbs and Bitter Mushrooms to be sold out, but the Elderly couples seemed to like them. He wasn't complaining, since Echo hated the Herbs. He even managed to sell two of his bottles of Sour Sarsaparilla. After making everything on the cruise ship, he only had around 25 leftover. Now he had roughly 2700 in total. "Alright Echo, Its time to head back and catch some sleep. Tomorrow is the Welcome Party and we wanna make sure you look super tough for that." He said with a chuckle as he packed up he remaining supplies and proceeded to head back to the hotel.

That could only be it. What are the chances that there would be multiple Lunatone out by this lake? Chris' breath catches as he spies the moonlight reflecting off the alien, celestial pokemon's pale stony surface. What was it doing out here? What was it looking for?
"Diane!" he calls softly as he approaches. "Your human is looking for you!"
He watches its reaction carefully. Would it understand? Did it know the way home? Was it in danger?

Raven decides that this seems like a good spot for a quick training session for her and Natalie... (Natalie gains 5 xp)
"Phew. Well, I think we should head back to the hotel now, Natalie. It's getting pretty late and we need our rest."
Natalie climbs back up onto her shoulder as they make their way back.

When it became apparent that the members of the dojo weren't interested in him, Leo had a look at the quest board. He gave the few available options a cursory glance and then decided that it was too late to head to the next town over. It seemed someone had also already claimed the Lunatone job, and he wasn't eager to compete with someone for a mission at this time. Shrugging at the time apparently wasted, Leo decided to check out the park. If nothing else, he and Nero could find a spot to do some training. He meandered through the city until he eventually found the park. Leo ended up staying there a little longer, first training and then simply enjoying the fresh evening air. Eventually though, he had enough and made his way back to the hotel. He decided to sleep a little early so that he could wake up earlier in the morning for a trip to either Solari Town or Aurora Town. Nero gains 10 EXP.

After looking around the dojo for a bit, Tully comes to one big conclusion: there's lots of people around here who he'd best avoid.
He goes to leave before noticing Xander staring up at the quest board. He goes over, briefly looks over the items posted and looks down.
"Listen, not that I wouldn't love to... undertake something, I... We've got that welcoming thing tomorrow, wouldn't want to miss that, would we?" He says. The little sandile thinks for a moment, then looks to his trainer and nods. He follows Tully out, giving one last glance at the quest board.
On the way back, Xander decides to have some fun running in and out of Tully's legs, leaving Tully to try to

As a result, when they get back, the two are tired enough to go almost straight to sleep. Xander gains 5 XP

The walk home was pleasant enough, though he could tell that the crowds were starting to die down. Less talking, less noises. By the time he got into the lobby, he was already feeling sluggish as his eye began to close. Entering his room, he simply fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The Lunatone seems to be looking for someone. On the lower part of it's curve is a necklace. Hearing it's name, it turns it's head towards you and slowly approaches unsure of how you know it's name.
Umbra see Chris standing beside the Lunatone and talking to it.

"Well....either that's the Lunatone I'm looking for, or that guy found a wild Lunatone. Grr....well, still got the Aurora job in the morning."
Touching Peridots pokeball, he debated for a moment before.
"Ahh what could it hurt to see if I can't add someone new before I start out tomorrow."
Turning away from Chris and the Lunatone, Umbra scans around, seeing if he can't spot a wild pokemon of some kind.

"Well, guess that's you, huh?"
Chris beckons to the pokemon, then starts to lead it back to town.
"Come on, your human asked me to find you. Do you know the way home? I am sure they are there waiting for you."

[terribly sorry for missing the beginning of this thread; I got lost in this forum and no links were posted in the Union Room]
Pushing his thick glasses farther up on his nose, Reggie looked around for anywhere he could find information on this island, past what was marked on the map. After all, if he was to find the right type of pokemon (that would be rocks, of course), he needed to know where to look.
He decided to wait until after the welcome ceremony to explore past the city though; there was plenty of time to actually catch pokemon later.

Umbra is finds nothing in his search for pokemon.
The closest area that could have rock pokemon is the mountain range near Aurora.
On the listing for the quest there was an address.

Chris leads the lunatone back to the given address and knocks on the front door. Night had thoroughly fallen, and it was getting late. Hopefully Diane's owners were home.

As he settles in for the night, Reggie pores over his Rock-type manual once more. If anyone was listening, they would hear slightly creepy snickering coming from the room as Reggie drifts off to sleep, dreaming of things to come.

Diane's owner is home and happily greets you and thanks you profusely.
"Diane, why di you go back for this," she asks the lunatone. 'LUNE' it says rubbing against it's owner.
"Thank you very much and here is your reward for finding her for me," she says smiling at you rubbing Diane gently.
