"Heh, it's okay. I grew up with a bunch of Chimchar, I'm used to a lot worse than climbing. Chimchar play pretty rough." He can't help smiling at the curious Aipom. He's kind of missed being the jungle gym, actually (which he'd been roughly since it became obvious he was going to carry on growing far bigger than his Chimchar siblings). Eventually he has to bid Jax and Ace farewell and collect the rest of his Pokémon (with additional telling-off from the healers). He gets a little concerned when there's no sign of Rei and Tiki at supper, but... well, maybe they're just running late. If they're not at breakfast tomorrow, then he'll start to worry. Another nightmare-free night leads Clay to decide to train even before breakfast (not working late into the previous day again probably helps too). He focuses on Fan and Sandy since they're not going to be battling today barring serious emergencies... which winds up meaning assuaging Fan's hard feelings about this fact. It's hard to be a (future) Fighting-type who isn't allowed to fight. Clay puts his foot down, though - he doesn't want to see her get any more injured. In fact it devolves into a rather nasty argument that ends with Fan running off for a little while. She does eventually come back with a peace offering - a piece of a plant Clay recognizes as one their parents taught them was good to use on someone who'd fainted. Clay smiles and ruffles Fan's fur affectionately. Nice find, sis. Thanks.That done, he and his Pokémon make their way into the dining hall... and he spots Rei sitting down, to his relief. He hurries over to join her. "There you are! I was worried when you didn't show up at supper last night."Training time! Agility Training for everybody, EXP training for Fan and Sandy.
Fan uses Pickup and finds a Revival Herb!

Tiki, after making it back home with Rei, lets her pokemon off at the infirmary. She stays with Rei for a bit until she's asleep. Tiki wanders a bit, still worried about her pokemon, but soon she is besieged by an army of grey floof. She giggles as she hugs her furry friends, and heads back to her room. Feeling a lot more better, she finds time to name her floof balls, (Heart, Spade, Diamond, Club, and Face.) and finally get some sleep. She flops into bed, gets under the covers, and the minccies all snuggle around her head. In the morning, Tiki goes back to the infirmary to pick up her pokemon, while also leading the army behind her. Making sure they are feeling better, and to not over exert them, some very light stretches are in order before breakfast. They do seem fine as Justice rolls around in the grass on her back, Star happily following Tiki's orders, Tower perched on a rock, snapping at anything coming close, Temperance seeming bored, and looking at clouds. Tiki was happy that they were all ok. After that, it was time to eat, and the troupe made their way to the dining hall. Tiki, of coarse, made her presence known to her friends, by shouting and hugging them. XP TRAINING: Justice & Tower

Sano changes his mind and heads to his dorm instead. He patches up his Pokemon a little more before heading to bed, and wakes up feeling good about the lack of nightmares. He spends an hour in the morning training his Pokemon, making sure they're fully focused for the day. Aloe and Neoxena have a bit of an ego match, and spend some extra time training to burn off some steam before Sano recalls them and heads to the dining hall to reunite with the group. He slides in next to Clay as he finishes question and grabs a banana. "Morning everyone. I hope I'm not too late to the conversation."

"No you aren't Sano. As for where we were, Tiki and I went up north to try to finish one of the missions. We wanted to find pokemon attacking humans, with the knowledge that poachers might be pushing them to do this. We waited till night and tried reasoning with them, before and after a harsh fight, but weren't able to connect with them."
Rei finishes sipping her tea and turns to Clay.
"So we came back in the hopes that Clay could come with us to translate, and that Sano would come as backup and healing for us. Or them, as they might need help as well, if we get them to listen to us."

Clay's lips curl back slightly at the mention of poachers. He's had that concept explained to him. The fight doesn't worry him so much, it's not like Pokémon don't fight all the time anyway.
"Yeah, I think I can help out with that. Kinda hope it doesn't come to another fight, 'cause Fan and Sandy need some time to rest so I'd just have Flower and Red Child with me, but I'll see what I can do to talk them around."
He taps a spoon against his lips thoughtfully. He's only sort of conversant in table manners so he's actually only just picked up the spoon to gesture with. "What kinda Pokémon are these, anyway?" After all, it helps to know who he's going to be negotiating with.

"Well they only come out right near night so we might have a while to wait anyway. Maybe you could find yourself more friends before we go, like Tiki's tiny adorable army she got."
At Clay's mention of what pokemon they are, Rei remembers she didn't really scan them with her tome, so instead she pulls out her journal and does a quick sketch of the Zangoose to show to him.

Tiki smiles as the army takes their place on her shoulders and head. She then passes them crackers, they then begin munching, dropping crumbs all over Tiki. She giggles, and turns to the others. "My pokemon could still use a rest, but I'm ready to go when you guys are."

Sano glances at the sketch. "Zangoose... I think that's the natural enemy of my mother's Pokemon. If we're going to interact with powerful Pokemon, then we can't over-prepare. If you give me a couple hours I can whip up some caltrops and smoke balls if that'd be helpful."

"I'd really hope that it wouldn't come down to a second fight. But if it must happen, it must happen. There's always the possibility that we may encounter the poachers tonight as well."

Clay bites his lip. He doesn't recognize the Pokémon, but he can tell they're predators - even besides the claws, Rei's sketch show the hunger and aggression in the Zangoose's posture. "Oh, yeah, those are hunters. Probably not Fighting-types but I think I can try to deal with them."
The suggestion to try and find some more partners is a good one, and he nods thoughtfully. "It's an idea, definitely. I gotta get some more balls first though, I've got like one Fan found on the ground yesterday and that's it. Oh, speaking of yesterday... Met somebody you might like. Her name's Kali, she's got this little stone statue kinda Pokémon she apparently found in some ruins, and I think it's another spirit."
Oh, and there's Tiki's "army". He grins and leans over to inspect the brigade of Minccino curiously. "Geez, you were busy yesterday, huh? It's not fair, I get zapped by speedy mice and you recruit an army of cute little fuzzballs. Oh, uh, speedy yellow mice are serious bad news by the way."

"Yeah. I defiantly need to prepare too." Tiki turns to Clay and says, "Well, you can't have too many friends, and these little ones were so adorable, I couldn't bare to separate them. And, a big thanks to Rei for that as well!" Tiki gets up after finishing eating, and feeding her pokes. "Time to hit the market again. What you all doing?"

Rei perks up at the note of another spirit.
"If I didn't have so much on my mind right now I'd go find this 'Kali'. Perhaps tomorrow, I would like to see more spirits. Oh but before everyone leaves, the other day I had found a recipe for making growing pokemon grow healthier and faster, it doesn't cost much to make, so if anyone would like me to make some I can whip up some for you really quickly."

Tiki tilts her head at Rei's words. "Huh? Food to help them grow? I want some of that! As long it's not that nasty vegetables tho!" Tiki gives her some money for supplies.

Sano hands over a little cash as well. "I'd love for my team to try out your new recipe." I'll spend some time crafting some smoke balls and caltrops for any emergency."

"Oh, sure, that sounds great! Um..." Clay digs out some money as well. "... I gotta admit I'm not sure how to feed Flower but I'll work it out. And I'll go and see if I can find somebody new to team up with! ... After I get some apricorns." Because he loves his team but they're not so great at taking hits.

Rei takes up all the cash and quickly whips them up for the whole team. And with Tiki's generosity, some for herself.
(Baby Food for errbody)
She notes Clay's concern about Flower.
"Yes, if you do intend to try it on Flower, would you mind telling me how it worked? A spirit that could somehow eat would be facinating."
With that taken care of and they day ahead of her, Rei heads to find some to train with. With Shinpuru temporarily out of the picture, and most of her team being a bit younger, they could benefit better from the food itself.
Trainer search!

Tiki heads of to the marketplace to pick up a few essentials, and after that, looks for some physical training to beef up her pokes.

Tiki slowly makes her way back to guild, but first she drags her feet to the market to re-stock, and then back to the infirmary to heal up her pokemon. After that she just kinda lazes about her room, just staring at the ceiling.

Clay mooches around the main hall of the guild for lack of anywhere better to hang out at the moment. He's not exactly in a good mood. Red Child and Baloo got so beat up that it's going to be their turn to sit out of fighting tomorrow, and that visit to the healers left him down to... well, math isn't his strong point but he's pretty sure it's less than twenty crowns. On top of that, he managed to lose to a bug and a really annoying girl.
He's perched on the edge of a planter with Fan next to him, his arms hanging down between his knees. He's beginning to wonder again if this human thing was such a good idea. Maybe he should go back and talk to Master Nob... might not be a bad plan to train up there for a while, actually. See if he can't get his Pokémon some battle experience that doesn't leave them horribly injured and him broke.
Oh, but they're doing that thing tonight. At least Fan and Sandy are fit again for it... not that he can afford to get them healed if they get hurt again. He sighs and flops his head down on his elbows, making mournful monkey noises in Fan's direction. What am I doing wrong, sis? I hate this, we keep losing and you guys keep being the ones who get beat up for it and I don't know how to fix it.
