Mica nodded, flopping down on the spot and scooping the Bulbasaur into her lap, gently licking her thumb and cleaning a smudge off it's crystals. "Thank you for understanding... I am sure you will see a lot of things to tell your friends, and shine brightly. We'll both do our best." She looked up at the Ivysaur, and outstretched a hand towards it, open palmed. "I understand if you just want to go home, and go back to protecting mushrooms. It's very important to you."

"Yeah, I met the professor a few weeks after moving here to Vesperia and she helped me get set up to go on this journey. So I figured I'd look into the Temples a bit for her as well. I think the mosaics that cover them have a chance to help us figure out what there purpose was, so I'm looking into that hypothesis."
He blushed for a moment "But I'm sure you don't really care about that" He laughed a little "And you're right, we aren't being paid for it, but we get by finding odd jobs here and there. Like I collected mushrooms and Mica helped on a fishing boat"

"Well, glad to hear that you're doing all well in that regard," Enya says. "I suppose it doesn't hurt that you can get free food and lodging at Centers, too. I'll admit, I'm a little bit envious, Didn't get much of a chance to travel after arriving here, and 'Gym Leader' is an always-on job until I retire. Take advantage of all this while you can."
The Bulbasaur hums as its crystal is rubbed. Its larger fellow looks at it, looks up at Mica, and then the outstretched hand. It gets a thoughtful look, rubs its head briefly against Mica's hand, before looking towards the forest, and inching towards that direction. There's a bit of a conversation between the two evolutionary relatives, but in the end, it sounds like it's a parting on good terms.

"Not everything is always meant to be, and forcing the issue never makes anything easier." Mica softly waxed poetic, hugging her new friend. She waved fondly after the Ivysaur as it walked away. They had developed some measure of mutual understanding, but in the end sometimes paths had to diverge. She shorts out the Pokeball she had captured the evolved Mon in, once it was out of sight, and sat quietly in the grass butting her face against the Bulbasaur's until it was time to leave for the center.

Donovan watched as Mica and the Ivysaur had a moment, before turning back to Enya and nodding "Absolutely. Even if I'm working for the lab, and there dangerous people out there that I may have to encounter, I'm gonna enjoy this journey as much as I can, and hopefully by the end of it, I'll know what I actually want to do afterwords."
He walked over and put his hand on Micas shoulder after letting her and the Bulbasaur had some time "Are you ready to go to the Center?"

"Yeah, let's go wind down for the afternoon. We walked half a day, had a big battle, and have to say a couple of important goodbyes today." Mica looked up at Enya. "It's been a fun, but emotional time, we can eat well and get a good rest. In the morning we'll decide where we go from here." Her expression dipped a little.
"Donovan?" She whispered in his ear. "What about the plate? If it comes with us that would probably be bad..."

"Alright," Enya says, "I'll see you at the Center, then. I just need to pop by the Gym first, see how the cleanup is going." She wanders off in the direction of the Gym, as Mica and Donovan make their way towards the Pokémon Center.

After Enya makes her way away from the pair, Donovan lets out a long breath "It feels weird lying to someone like Enya. Anyways, I dont think it'll be a problem. When we go in them, everything we carry just sort of....disappears. So I doubt that anything bad will happen. We have to try though"

The pair makes it to the Pokémon Center to heal their Pokémon where they're soon met by Enya, who goes off to grab some food. For the next few hours, they're able to relax and decompress after the last few day's events, as well as gather their thoughts.
Later in the day, after the Center had done its magic, Enya is true to her word, and lets Mica (and Donovan) play around with her Pokémon. They act a lot more laid back and relaxed out of battle, most content to just sleep or watch the other Trainers. Leila is willing to fly the pair around above the city, though, and that helps pass some time. From above, the forest and ocean both seem to stretch on for ages, with Xalibu seeming to be a rather small speck of light in the wilderness.
The rest of the day passes quickly, as does the night. The pair sleeps soundly and uninterrupted, before waking up in the morning to tackle the new day.

Mica is a giddy ball of giggles all the day long, truly in her element playing with Enya's Pokémon. The aerial view is especially stunning but it is a wonder she can sit still for the length of the tour, all in all she had needed the moment to just let off some steam. The girl chose not to make mention of responsibilities or goals at all that night; they were tomorrow's problems!
The goodbyes with Enya were somber, and Mica thanked her for the really great time together, but when the following morning at last arrived she sat up and watched her hands. Scooting out of bed, and completing her morning repast, she caught up with Donovan. "Let's head to the temple, so we don't have to backtrack... What do you think?"

Unlike Mica, Donovan didn't completely lose himself when playing with the Pokemon, though he was impressed with the flight around the area. He had never really considered flying around on a Pokemon like that, but now the idea was stuck in the back of his head.
The next morning after he had breakfast, Donovan noticed Mica coming up. He nodded along as he spoke "I think the Temple is a really good idea, and I was going to say just that myself."

After breakfast, training, and miscellaneous activities, the duo heads out of the Center. There seems to be a few more clouds in the sky than the prior days, but it's still warm and clear enough that it looks like it's going to be a fairly nice day. There's enough of a breeze, though, to bring in the barest hints of the fresh sea air... something that will soon be lost. But, what will be found is more adventure. More discoveries. And... well, there's always more sea to head to, too. And, so, the duo heads off, towards the close-ish Temple.
End Episode 3
