Ability: Sand Veil - raises the ability-bearer's evasion by 20% in a sandstorm. It also gives immunity to sandstorm damage Held item: None Moves: Sand Tomb, Tackle Evening|| Route 18 || Mya "Rainbow" Saller A few days after catching her newest companions Kyuuna had decided camping out in a way on the side of the route was a good idea. Least it sounded better than trying to push to get to the nearest town with things getting dark especially quick. Especially when she had at least two young pokemon with her besides her first partner Casull. It'd be unfair to force them to fight something territorial this soon she felt. Thus she decided to sleep under the brush and overgrowth on the side of the trail. Not thinking if something other than a wild poke'mon came along she might well be made to regret startling them. Especially with how it looked like a hastily abandoned camp after she put out the small fire to sleep. Having at least gotten the young Gible and Growlithe to understand she wasn't a monster before returning them to their new balls. Though her hand smarted where she'd been nipped by the Gible for not understanding her fingers weren't food still.

The Safari Zone had been... interesting. Mya had managed to get out of there with Wormy in one piece, but the poor guy needed a break. She had used their PC to switch out her team, happily having Eon back at her side. Riding on his shell were her other two. Atlas, who was more than happy to be out and about again, and Vulcan. The little axew was currently cutting marks into Eon's hard shell, to sharpen his own tusks and to give Eon some nice new markings. The shell was the perfect canvas! Eon could be beautiful with the help of Vulcan, the tough yet soft artistic soul... as he so called himself.
Mya let out a yawn, ready to find a place to hunker down and camp, but she wasn't afraid what was in the dark. It should be afraid of her. Eon's thunderous steps were warning enough to any wild pokemon that if they wanted to pick a fight, it'd be with him. The shelgon had taken it upon himself to become Mya's bodyguard, but he speed wasn't what it used to be. The shell weighed several tons. But he made do.
"Right, we'll keep going this way and stop a bit down the way. How does that sound?" she said, walking along and passing by a strange bit of overgrowth. Huh, nothing to worry about.

Advantage sleeping with one's back on the ground; when something big walked past you knew it in a hurry. Resulting in the 'brush' gaining a face and a voice "oi mind not stomping by when people are tryna sleep?". Blinking blearily at the human and...boulder with feet? in the path just beside where she'd been asleep "th' name a' Arceus izzat?". Kyuuna didn't seem to spot the other Gible or the charmander on the 'boulder' as she stared. Looking even more ghoulish than usual thanks to the twigs and leaves sticking out of her hair and hanging off her coat. Whatever happened next she was proper going to regret like as not.

There were some things anyone could easily learn about Mya. She liked her coffee, sweet or bitter. She enjoyed taking naps on hot, humid days. She liked to camp. She did not like cinnamon flavored toothpaste. And she did not like it when things popped up in front of her with no warning, as some of her more playful pokemon had learned the hard way. When you aren't used to pokemon fighting all your battles for you, you end up becoming more of a fighter than a lover. And maybe that's why Mya's fist instinct was to attack and ask questions later.
"Son of a-" Mya shouter, driving home a hard punch to the face and rounding back for another hit before freezing. "Kyuuna? What the fuck!?"
Eon who had long since shaken off the younger pokemon to get ready to unleash a powerful Dragon Claw on this attacker also froze and blinked, letting out a confused, "Shell...?" Atlas and Vulcan brushed the dirt off of themselves and waddled up to Mya. What was going on?
"You bloody well gave me a heart attack! What the fuck do you think you're doing hiding yourself like that!? What if I was a scizor or something?" she offered a hand to help Kyuuna up, Atlas lighting a small fire in his mouth to shed light on the scene of this could-have-been crime. His tail just wasn't cutting it.

In absence of coffee or other energizing drink...a punch to the space betwixt ones eyes was fairly effective. Especially coupled with head hitting the ground hard enough ya almost bounced back into a sitting position. As it was, when she first heard the other person speak she realized two things. first, she royally fucked up startling them; and second being 'hey it's Mya!'. As she rubbed the space she'd been hit in she opened one eye and saw the offered hand. Which she used to slowly get up "well if you had been a Scizor I doubt I'd have heard 'son of a' before copping a fist to the face". Then she grinned lopsidedly "though hey, you finally didn't have to jump to knock me in the face that time".
Before looking at the pokemon following Mya "oh...not a walking boulder...and smart lil charmander using his mouth flame to light the area". Then she grinned at Mya again "I got a Gible too! and a Growlithe n Taillow". The great galloping fool was obviously used to these reactions from Mya if she was so quick to just yammer despite the now visible bruise between her eyes.

Mya huffed out a laugh and patted Kyuuna on the shoulder, brushing off some of the dirt. "Hey, watch it! I ain't some little kid anymore." She was smiling, though. No offense could be taken with such an old friend. "Here, let me make you some coffee or something to help soothe that pain. I have my gear."
Mya shrugged off her bag and immediately Vulcan was digging through it for his treats. Mya just rolled her eyes and put a foot under him before lifting him up and gently tossing him to the side. She perked up at Kyuuna's statements about her pokemon, however.
"That boulder there is Eon! Believe it or not, he was once a tiny little blue dragon that could hardly hold up his head. He evolved recently, on the volcano outside Famine." She rummaged through her bag for her camping gear, getting out the stove and her traveling coffee maker. Atlas wandered over and lit the stove's flame. "This is Atlas Arris, a sweet little guy. And that," she said, pointing a thumb at Vulcan who is once again digging in the bag, "is Vulcan. He's an axew. But I'd love to meet your gible! And the other pokemon, of course."
She started heating up the water, leaning back. "What brings you out here? I mean, clearly you got some pokemon now! Decided to go on an adventure?"

Kyuuna snorted a laugh of her own "that right Short stack?" playfully poking fun in return as she watched the Axew dive into the bag "oh right, mistook 'im for a Gible due to the size I guess" then she removed her pokeballs from her belt holster "aight you three c'mon out!". Popping out of their balls almost simultaneously as Casull swooped around to land on Kyuuna's shoulder. While the as yet nameless Growlithe and Gible blinked in the flickering light of Atlas Arris' flames curiously.
Pointing at her shoulder first "this here's Casull, my starter from the Lab before I got going on my journey indeed". Then pointed at the Growlithe and Gible "these two I ain't nicknamed yet, got em in that new Safari Zone real recently". Then she looked at the two on the ground "would you two like nicknames by the way?". Since they still didn't understand her entirely yet Casull chirped explaining what his person meant to the other two. The Gible perked up after thinking it over "gib! Gible Gib!" as did the Growlithe who barked happily enough. Causing Kyuuna to smile "ok then...how about...Seras for you Growlithe and Integra fer you Gible?". The two thought it over before they liked how the 'mouth sounds' sounded and nodded happily.
Then Kyuuna looked at the boulder now revealed to be a pokemon "used to be a lil blue dragon eh?...waitaminute...my mum showed me one of those in a book when I was little he used to be a Bagon right?". Then she finished answering the journey query "Th' big reason I set off on my own journey is so I could help others outside Sylvanport and Famine, in more ways than just knocking heads together...especially if some clods decide to resurrect those criminal crews that used to be around too". Despite their trainers serious tone the Gible waddled up to Mya and waved her tiny arms as she tried the 'cute act' to get yummies from this new human. Clearly hoping the other girl didn't have more of those green cube things. The display made Kyuuna snort laugh "and little Integra there has a sweet tooth I think...she wasn't terribly impressed with my kelp bar earlier".

She huffed at the old nickname and focused on the coffee with a bit of a grin. It was nice meeting someone else from Famine again, to have these chats. Like coming home except not. Kyuuna always was a fun soul to be around. She did study the pokemon as they came out, focusing on the gible. That was a good sized one. Mya remembered her studies and their final evolution... it could get nasty but... well, this was Kyuuna she was talking about. She'd be fine.
"Those are some great names, and I love your starter. He looks very smart," she said. "And some great pokemon." She smiled as Integra wandered over acting cute. Mya reached into the bag and snatched the treats away from Vulcan who gave a cry and stomped in anger, rushing over to stand beside Integra to demand treats. Mya's smile faded as she raised an eyebrow to Vulcan. "Nope, not with that attitude you don't."
Vulcan quieted down and held out his little hands, as if asking nicely now. She poured out some of the dark purple treats and gave each of the dragons a fair share. "Yeah, a bagon! Eon outgrew it and now he's tougher than ever." She glanced at him a little worried. No explosions yet... it was just a matter of time. "But I feel you on wanting to help out. I've been um... talking with someone? She's amazing, really. Her name is Farrah. She's going to bring back the gyms. She thinks I have what it takes to make one myself so I'm going to follow in her footsteps and make a dragon gym in Famine. Revitalize the local economy, bring back jobs. Protect the city."
Mya blew a raspberry at the word 'kelp bar'. "A kelp bar? For a dragon type? Those would be great on water types but not these little guys. They have special diets. Mostly meat. Protein." She handed the bag of treats to Kyuuna. "That's the brand I get. It's pretty expensive but it makes for a good reward for training. You gotta be tough on dragons. They become very dangerous at higher levels. Eon here will explode when he evolves. That shell is going to go everywhere. And salamence are known to have vicious angers." She jabbed a thumb at Vulcan. "His final evolution is rather peaceful unless you mess with its territory. So he should be easy to handle. And Atlas there? He can go either way."
She patted Eon's shell, the shelgon letting out a happy tone. "They are amazing, powerful, dangerous pokemon and I adore them. That's why I went to the Safari Zone, too. Rumors of dragons there."
