"Yeah..... My mom is sick..... she's not dieing but.... she's not going to be able to take care of her self, and my brother is still really young, and he's not going to be able to do it...." She said with a slightly sad smile on her face.
"I need to go back to Twinleaf town to take care of her for a while. The League called me about it last night......" She said.
"My Liscene will be put on hold until next years crop, and I'll be allowed to keep my pokemon, though they'll send someone to replace me in the group." Era explained.

Ethan didn't know what to say. He now understood why Era seemed so dishearten earlier. He doesn't have a sibling, so he wouldn't know how Era really felt. But Ethan can understand Era needing to go back home to help take care her family. He would have done the same if he was in a similar situation like Era's.
"I'm sorry about your mum's condition." Ethan finally mange to say. At first his throat felt dry, unable to speak as Era shared her dilemma. But when his eyes met with Axel's Ethan finally manage to find the will to speak up. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

With that era shook her head then added, "I don't think so. But thanks."
She looked at them for a moment before adding, "Actually.... Here."
She took her camera off her neck and showed it to the others, "Take some pictures for me, and send them to me back home. I don't want to lose touch with you guys if we can help it."

Axel looks away before looking back at Ethan and then musters a smile. "Sure, no problem, photos is something i can do" He takes the camera and hides his face behind his shades once more. Axel didnt really know what to do, a friend is a friend and now shes gonna be gone...

She scratched her neck for a moment before realizing, "Oh and one more thing."
She pulled out Sin Cara's pokeball and showed it to them, "Also I don't think Sin Cara wants to separate from his breloom friend. Are either of you willing to take him?"

"Sure we can..." Ethan pauses for a moment, then his face brighten when he had an idea. "Why don't we all take a picture together with our Pokemon?" While he wears a smile on his face, Ethan still feel sad about Era's coming departure.
Looking at Sin Cara' Pokeball, Ethan remember the Hawlucha's attitude. Shaking his head, Ethan looks over at Axel. "I think Axel should take him. He seem to be a good fit for your team."

"A Picture would be perfect." Axel agrees but there is still a hint of somthing elts in his voice. he fiddles with the camera before looking up at the pokeball. Thinking for a second and looking at Era, Axel grabs Snares Pokéball and holds i out. "You can take Snare, she can keep your lil brother company... and she can remind you of us..."

Era nods greatfully, switching the pokeballs, "those sound like great ideas."
Era smiled at her friends and released her pokemon. Snare came out and looked at Axel for a moment, and gave him a friendly wave, understanding the situation. Cumulonimbus flew above the group and started snoring lazially above them not even paying attention to the sitaution, whole both Glacie and Zaria looked up at their trainer waiting to be picked up.
Era quickly did so, leaving it to one of the other trainers to go set up the camera.

If he were a bit taller, Ethan would have pat Axel on the shoulder as he pass the musician. Instead, Ethan simply walked pass Axel. Mentally suggesting Axel to handle the camera, since it's already in his hands.
Walking over to where the group photo will be taken, Ethan releases all of him Pokemon from their pokeballs. "We're going to take a group photo with everyone once Axel sets up the camera."

With a nod Xero took a spot standing near era ready to takr the picture.
Breloom looked at era dismissively. Taking a couple of swings in the air taking the chance to practice.
Vesper up top took the chance to wake up the slowpoke with a stab. Making him awake for the picture.

Axel let out his pokemon into the group. "Group photo guys, smile for the camera" He said to the group as he turned to set up the camera and its timer. Heading back to the photo, Axel squeezed in between the two other trainers, his arms round the two of them, he was the tallest after all. A smile shone from his face as his shades caught the light as they sat atop his head. No tears, no sadness, just smiles.

With a toss of his pokeballs, Axels pokemon came out.
Quickly his new pokemon Sin Kara and Rhythm started a posing match. Rhythm turning into Sin Kara and posing along side the pokemon trying to make the cooler looking poses.
While Amp just floated over the two of them trying it's best not to nervously sweat.
After the trio finished taking the picture, Era said to them, "With that, they said that the new trainer that will be joining in my place in the group is going to arrive in the pokemon center today."

Standing with the rest of his Pokemon, Ethan poses in a natural stance with a smile on his face. He held Tamama in his arms, a name he given to the newborn Poliwag. Ethan had thought of striking up a pose he normally does when he is a Pokemon battle, but had opt not to. Since this photo is for Era to remember the group as. Of course if someone has asked for a group silly photo, Ethan would then strike up a pose.
"So soon?" He thought after the group photo and Era mentioning the new trainer is on his/her way. Turning towards Era, Ethan clears his throat. "Is there anything else you'll like to do first before leaving or you're heading home now?"

Era thought about it before saying, "Yeah, meet the guy who'll be taking my place. I can't leave you guys with some weirdo after all."

Ethan lets out a soft chuckle when he heard what Era said. "That's a good idea." He nods in agreement. "Speaking of weird, do you all want to do another group photo? But this time every strikes a silly pose."

Axel looks back from the camera stand and looks at Ethan, "Well, funny you should say that about a silly pose cos i was already setting up another timer." Axel grinned as he rushed back to the group and posed beside them all, flexing his non existent muscles with his arms high, shades on and a giant grin.

With that another picture was taken, Era leaning forward and pulling down part of her eye while stuck out her tounge.
The pokemon did similarly silly poses or funny faces as much as they could, but an armless snare, and a stoic face of a bedrill didn't leave a lot of room for those kind of faces.
With that the group headed their way towards the pokemon center quickly finding their way to a room where Berlitz and another boy seemed to be waiting for them.

Earlier in the day Troy arrived in Jubilife City. He had stared a lot. Everything was so different from Mauville City. Mauville was big and bustling in its own way, especially at the center of the city, but it didn't compare to the sheer size of everything in Jubilife City. Troy had to wonder what the city would look like from the top of the Global Trade Center. After checking in at the Pokemon Center and making sure he wasn't late to the meeting, he had decided to go wandering around the city a little bit. He could almost forget about the meeting, getting lost in the city's streets and sights. Alas, he didn't want to make Ms. Berlitz wait and so he returned to the Pokemon Center.
Troy was looking at the ground somewhat nervously as he waited. Troy had been thinking about what his new comrades would be like ever since he left Twinleaf. He'd been told to meet up with the group in Jubilife City. Now that the time came to actually meet them, Troy was feeling the pressure. The room was mostly silent as neither inhabitant spoke, and yet it wasn't awkward. Although he was quite nervous, Troy did his best to look and appear relaxed, and for the most part, this worked to make him feel a lot better. Though the room was silent now, it hadn't been the whole time. Ms. Berlitz had filled Troy in on most of the details. He knows that he is supposed to replace a member in a group of three, who has issues at home and therefore has to return. What those issues were, Ms. Berlitz didn't quite say. Troy got the feeling that she wanted private matters to remain private, so he didn't pry.
The young chef was feeling conflicted right now. He'd been so happy when he first got a letter saying that he'd been accepted to the league and TG Group's massive research project, but hearing that it came at the cost of another Trainer's journey? That made Troy feel a profound sadness. He really hopes that Era, as he'd been told she was called, can still go on another journey once the issue is resolved, or at least in the next year.
Finally, three Trainers entered the room. Troy's eyes snapped upwards and he looked at the trio with surprising intensity. This intensity only lasted a moment but in that moment, Troy took in all that he could about them. Hmm, the guy with the shades... that must be Axel. He certainly looks confident. I'm sure he can back it up too. The shorter guy is probably Ethan. From a first glance, I'd say he seems like the polite and competent type. And then there's Era. That can only be her. She looks like something of a free spirit. It must really suck for her to be forced to return home. Though Troy feels a little sad as he looks at her, none of that shows. He doesn't pity her and doesn't want to look like he does. That would be rude and insensitive. He does sympathize with her though. If something was going on at home and he was the only one that could take care of it, he'd have put that before his journey too. It's just the sensible thing to do.
As soon as the moment passes, Troy's whole demeanor shifts. He's back to being nervous, but there's a smile on his face. He waves at the trio. "Hi there, I'm Troy, Troy Beaumont," he says, not sure what kind of reaction he's going to get.

With a similar idea to Axel's, Ethan brings his arms together with the backsides of the hands touching one another. Flexing his nonexistent muscles, one can trace an invisible rectangle from his shoulder down to an elbow, to both wrists touching one another, back up the other elbow and finally to the shoulder. Ethan slightly turns his body away from the camera, with both of his keens together and bent. Which causes Ethan's upper body to lean forward slightly. Ethan turns his head at an angle, looking towards the camera with his eyebrows pulled together as if he was trying real hard to flex his imaginary bulging muscles.
With the silly group photo taken, Ethan smiles as he can imagine Era's smile when whenever she looks at the photo. He hopped it'll be a reminder of their friendship and the times they had together. Perhaps it'll even make her brother laugh at their absurd poses.
Finally reaching the Pokemon Center, Ethan was surprised to see Berlitz in the private room. He didn't expect to meet her once more so quickly. Next to her stood a youthful boy. "He must be Era's replacement. Replacement... I don't really like that word. No one can replace Era, so I shouldn't compare him to Era... Hopefully he isn't a weirdo." Ethan quickly made his judgement with the word replacement. Observing Troy, Ethan notices the boy seems nervous, even if he had a smile on his face. Thinking about it, he would probably feel the same way if he was in the other youth's shoes.
Taking the initiative after Troy introduces himself, Ethan steps forward and bows slightly with one hand over his left chest. "Hello Troy, I'm Ethan Stark." Straightening his back as he stops bowing, Ethan gestures to Axel first, and then Era. "They are my companions."

Troy's eyes widen slightly as Ethan bows. No one's ever bowed to him before. This is entirely a new thing to him. Still he feels a little happy that he got the right idea about the other boy. Definitely polite, even more so than I thought. His intuition hasn't failed him yet. Oh! When someone does a bow to you, you're meant to bow back aren't you? At least, I think that's how it works in Johto. Troy returned the gesture with a modest bow of his own, performing it only a little awkwardly, some of his recently acquired confidence already beginning to show. "It's great to meet you, Ethan," Troy says, his smile growing warmer. I can tell Ethan would be a great friend to have. He seems like the kind of person that will never let you down.
