After the bizarre series of events that unfolded before her, Shoko holds out her hand to Mirk to retrieve the pokeball in his hand. "I'll um, talk to him later. Mirk, what did you find out?" After 10 or so minutes of a hybrid game of charades and pictionary on the sand, Shoko is able to get a mild idea of the threat that the remoraid mentioned.
Something about crabs that are going to attack again soon. Lots of them it seems. She thought to herself. "Excuse me, Mr. uh... fisherman? I need to see the gym leader, there's going to be some problems... and I might be able to fix yours... can you guide me to him?" She asked attempting to seem as confident as possible despite her obvious lack of social skills.

With the trees taken care of by Karla, Axel had two options left. After yesterday's events, that left no choice. "Balls to the lake. Come on Gauss, let's go check out those plains." The Luxray nodded, quite happy with the decision to avoid the water at all costs and followed Axel, scanning the landscape with his X-Ray vision to give his owner a hand in spotting anything capture worthy. Axel rolled a 7 for Perception
Gauss rolled a 21 for Perception

Horace, constantly creeping closer to Shoko to make sure he keeps up on everything hears Shoko mutter the word "Problem" and quickly winds the training down, "Thats enough for today, return you little devil!" Horace quickly closes the remaining distance between him and Shoko and then exclaims, "I heard there was a problem? How delightful. What do I need to do to deal with this problem. You've got me all giddy because here I thought it was going to be a slow day but there is already a problem before lunch time!"

"Oh, you were here. Come, I'll explain along the way... I'm going to see the gym leader to see what he says. That and I could use a bit more income this trip." Shoko gestures towards the fisherman, "I asked him to show me where the gym leader is. Tilda~ " Shoko calls out, causing her vivillon to return from her viewpoint above the lake. It was unfortunate that Tilda was unable to find anything, so she returned her to her pokeball and beckoned Mirk to follow her.
"Hey Mirk, do you mind... you know." On cue, Mirk slips into Shoko's coat, coiling around her; he sticks his head out next to hers and leaves his tail trailing in the air behind her. With renewed focus she declares, "To the gym then."

"If'n yer thinking that you should see 'im, I can take you to 'im. Long as you keep that devil out of the waters." The fisherman says, smiling as he realises that the Remoraid is gone. "Might e'en buy you a drink 'r two after." He nods at Horace when the jester approaches, not even blinking at his get up. "Come on. Times-a-wasting." -_-_- Fisherman Alec, as he introduces himself, happily leads Shoko and Horace to Adrian's gym, his grin growing wider and wider with every step. The gym itself is built into the bottom floor of Adrian's hotel - the distinctive grey and brown exterior leading to the large outdoor pool. In the pool you can see Adrian standing on his Mantine, battling a red-haired competitor riding atop a surprisignly large Whishcash. Neither competitor notices the newcomers, too focused on their own battle. A few moments after Alec bids you farewell, indicating that he'd be getting celebratory drinks at a local bar, a gym trainer approaches you. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but as you can see Leader Adrian is busy at the moment. Are you wanting to challenge the gym or do you have another issue?"
-_-_-
Investigating the yellow leaved trees that the locals regularly slather with honey, Karla sees several bug-type pokemon fleeing from a Pumpkaboo that starts eagerly licking the honey off of a tree studded with several leaves - likely the result of a Razor Leaf attack. _-_ Axel and Gauss' own investigation doesn't get the chance to find anything as a sudden change in the wind blows a wild Drifloon into Gauss' face! (Initiative 19. Does it go first?)

Karla releases Diz by her side. "If it attacks, get it. Stay beside me for now" Diz looks at her and gives a nod, for once not dancing. This was serious time. Karla walks toward the Pumpkaboo, slowly, with Diz keeping step. As she gets near she addresses it. "My, aren't you the greedy one? Scaring off the other Pokémon just to get some food." It's only now, when she's got its attention that she realises how weird it is for a lot of bug Pokémon would be afraid of one grass Pokémon. Oh.. Mistakes may have been made. is all she has time to think as she awaits its response.

As Shoko walks with the fisheman towards the gym, her mind wanders to her newest partner. You'll need a name. I'll think of one eventually... hmm... a remoraid... a remoraid. Wouldn't it be... wait, WAIT! I could... I could... yes! I'll find a.... what would it be... a carpenter... a whittler? They'll make a base to place remoraid in... and a trigger below that prods it gently when the trigger is pulled. Maybe it'll have some straps to hold him in. And then... I can use remoraid as a weapon! Tee hee heee...Shoko's face showed clear signs of maniacal planning. Once they arrived at the gym, and upon hearing the news, Shoko decided that she would take the time to talk to this new partner of hers to discuss any strategies and get to know each other. " Both. Tell him I'll be outside doing a bit of pre-battle practicing. When he's done, there's a problem that he'd be interested in learning about." Shoko grabs the pokeball holding her newest partner and walks outside to find the best clearing near the gym. Shoko will take the time to train the remoraid and apply relevant features and poke-edges.

"Well I was planning on catching a pokemon before challenging him as one of my more stubborn friends dont stand much of a chance against a water pokemon so I think I'll think about doing that while we are waiting seeing as my morning training routine is done. Good luck Shoko, you should be able to explain the handlin... I mean handle the explaining of whatever situation is happening here as I really have no idea about it... only that a delightful problem is about to arise." Horace Jots off to route 221 as he planned earlier when and upon arrival heads towards the grassy plains to search for pokemon. Horace Perception: 7 Gulliver: 12 Im guessing this would happen after Axel's battle as itll take a bit to get there

The Pumpkaboo glances at Karla and dismissively grunts at her, returning to the honey. After a few moments it gives a satisfied sigh and turns and happily hums at her in a questioning tone. -_-_- "Of course. Can I get your name?" The trainer asks, giving a confused glance at Horace as he walks away. -_-_- Looking through the grass, the first notable thing Horace finds is a trio of tiny trees, each roughly 30cm tall with two branches and three tufts of trees. The closest one lacks the three yellow spots that appear on the front of the other two. -_-_- The edge of the Drifloon passes through Gauss' head as it puffs up, releasing a fierce gust from its mouth once it was clear, hitting Gauss and blowing the Drifloon backwards. Gust: AC 2 vs jfM6GuU|1d20DB 6: 2d6+19 1d20·2d6+19

"Hi there little guy. I didn't expect to find you here. Thought you'd stick to deeper forests... Are you the one that scared off those bugs? You must be very strong" Karla speaks sweetly, her face full of a smile that many photographers have paid top dollar for. She motions to Diz to stay where he is for a minute and slowly continues to walk toward it, while trying to show it that she is not a threat. Charm roll S0kXVEkg4d64d6

"Ohh... Its Horace. I'll see you around." Horace says with his voice trailing as he runs off. Once Horace discovers the trees he turns to Gulliver, "What do you think of these?" he asks inquisitively. "Haunter Ha-Haunter Haunter" his companion says in response. "Yes... Quite odd indeed. Why don't I look a little bit closer at this one" Horace says assuming he knows what Gulliver is saying before leaning in towards the tree without spots recklessly in order to inspect it closely. Perception 3 (Rolled in previous post). Horace is outright touching the non spotted tree and will move to the spotted ones if he finds nothing.

The Phantump tilts its head at Karla and drifts towards her, poking her in the nose curiously before giggling and rapidly floating over to the tree, returning to Karla with the clear intention of sticking its hand in her mouth and sharing the honey. -_-_- The first tree Horace touches completely fails to react, though the second and third trees are shuddering. The wind continues to blow, though the trees don't seem to be affected by it. -_-_- The gym trainer looks confused as Shoko doesn't respond to Horace or her.

Karla giggled at being booped, though she worried about the cold feel she must have. The Phantump didn't seem to care and she opened her mouth with an "Ahhhh" to taste the honey. "Ummm yummy!" She said, before beckoning Diz "Can Diz have some? He likes honey too." Diz walks over, doing a few spins too to show off to the new potential friend.

"Hmm.. obviously nothing here looks like I should leave" Horace states as he purposely drops some sparkling lemonade slightly open in order to draw any pokemon towards it with its sweet smell before walking away for a short time quickly ducking beneath the grass and telling Gulliver to watch the trees and alarm him when they come to life. Gulliver is phasing so he cannot be seen and is right by the trees. Perception-7 if that matters since he is staring at the trees. Horace Stealth and Guile of 15 to make the trees think he left and perception of 5 to hear anything.

Wait... he might have been talking to me. Ugh, more interaction.... but I don't wanna. I'll at least turn around to see if he was looking at me... dammit he's looking at me. With a look of indignation, Shoko casually walks back to the source of her worries. "That was directed at me I suppose. Shoko. It's important, so I'll be ... 10 meters that way waiting for me," she gestures as she begins to take a step away. "Unless there's something else?"

She said, before beckoning Diz "Can Diz have some? He likes honey too." Diz walks over, doing a few spins too to show off to the new potential friend. The Phantump squints suspiciously for a moment before gathering more honey of of the tree, deliberately rubbing it all over Diz's face. He then steps away and tries a few spins for himself, only to trip and fall. "Hmm.. obviously nothing here looks like I should leave" Horace states as he purposely drops some sparkling lemonade slightly open in order to draw any pokemon towards it with its sweet smell before walking away for a short time quickly ducking beneath the grass and telling Gulliver to watch the trees and alarm him when they come to life. Gulliver is phasing so he cannot be seen and is right by the trees. Perception-7 if that matters since he is staring at the trees. Horace Stealth and Guile of 15 to make the trees think he left and perception of 5 to hear anything. After a few minutes the two far trees uproot themselves, revealing their identities as Bonsly. The two cautiously approach the lemonade, clearly attracted by the sweet scent. One of them nudges the bottle and they both flinch as the see the liquid within move. The two back off and start squeaking at each other, clearly discussing what to do next. Wait... he might have been talking to me. Ugh, more interaction.... but I don't wanna.

The gym trainer nods at Shoko. "Thank you. I will inform Adrian and he will be with you as soon as possible." He moves over to watch the battle, as Adrian's Mantine runs down the other trainers pokemon.

Diz's tongue spins as he does, slobbering all over his face to get all the honey. When the Phantump falls he spins even more with flair, showing off that he is the spinning king! Meanwhile Karla gets worried about the Phantump falling down. "Oh no! Are you ok? He can get pretty zealous with the spins." She tries to show her empathy to the fallen Pokémon. Charm roll of 12

"Hmm I see you took a liking to the drink I left. Thank you for coming out of hiding btw I was never good at spotting much. Now you have one of two choices... you can either come with me and have the Lemonade or we can have a jolly fun battle. I can tell you I am a great companion on the road..." Then Horace's face turns serious, "But I'm an even better combatant." Rebounding to his normally cheerful disposition Horace continues "So what will it be the the liquid or the fight? No reason to run either that never works." Horace then cracks his knuckles then gets in a fighting stance, "Gulliver come out of hiding might need your help with this." Gulliver then appears directly behind the two Bonslys with a chuckle flanking them.Charm: 4 Intimidate: 10

Charm roll of 12 The Phantump returns to it's 'foot' and gives an embarrased huff before glaring at Diz. After seeing Karla's concern it looks embarrassed for a moment before glancing from Karla to the honey coated tree several times. "Hmm I see you took a liking to the drink I left. Thank you for coming out of hiding btw I was never good at spotting much. Now you have one of two choices... you can either come with me and have the Lemonade or we can have a jolly fun battle.

Intimidate: 10 The two Bonsly freeze the moment Horace reveals himself, one backing away while the other glares at him. When Gulliver appears the spooked Bonsly quavers for a moment and backs up again, squeaking in terror. The other Bonsly briefly looks uncertain before glaring at Horace again, clearly working up it's nerve for something. -_-_-_- After a few minutes Adrian's battle finishes, the muscular surfer rubbing some obviously tender wounds as he approaches Shoko. "Dudette. You missed out on one gnarly battle! 'Course if you want to battle yourself I'm up for it." He waves to the obviously successful challenger as she walks past. The challenger is clad in the orange jacket of the "Ace Trainer Association", with 5 badges pinned to it. She smirks at Shoko as her Poliwhirl follows her, the pokemon looking notably less confident. "Or is something else up? Because the surf has been bad for past week with all the frightened pokemon."

Assuming it was wondering if she wanted more, she says "Oh don't worry, I'm quite full from my breakfast, you can have the rest.", giving a smile. "I was wondering if when you're full you might like to come with me? I'm new to this land and would like some company... And we can find lots more honey." She takes out a Pokéball and holds it out in her hand, with her palm upwards and the ball resting in it. Charm roll of 13
