Private/Closed Journey in Galar! (Roleplay)

Shade had walked back to Seth and Jake with her Alolan Raichu following beside her. Looking over at the released Toxtricity, she pulled out her datapad to scan them.

Smiling, she just had a bunch of Gigantamax forms and Galarian Darmanitan, Frosmoth, Dragapult, and a bunch of Alcremie forms to get now. She nodded as mostly everybody wanted to battle the Stow-On-Side gym. She looked over at everyone and smiled. "Well, I see some of you are gearing up for the gym leader. Do you guys want me to stay with you or shall I go back to Spikemuth? I don't care either way, I am just wondering what you all think. If you do want me to finish my gym challenge, then who wants to come with? If you don't care about finishing the gym challenge, then I'll be happy to take you with me."
 
Seth had a bit of trouble on his way with the others. His phone started to ring. When he noticed the number, he walked a bit of ways to have a bit of privacy. "I told you not contact me first. I am with a group of trainers at the moment."

"Wait, when have you told me this? I was told to call you and see when you are getting back to the league." The voice on the other end of the line spoke. It caused Seth to have a bit of annoyed face, as he hated his duties, though he would not let it stop him from enjoying his time away.

"Listen, I am actually headed that way now. The reason I have not shown up is because I have friends I am walking with. I am not just going to abandon them to do what you want me to. I will talk to you later Zack." With that he hung up his phone and got back to the group when Shade appeared. He was glad that he could have a chance to get ahead. "I will be glad to go with you Shade. I have some business to do while you are competing in the gym challenge."
 
Alistar quickly ate breakfast at a small restaurant he found and got a feel for the city, taking note of other important locations like the Gym for later before heading back to the Pokemon Center, he waited around the lobby since he didn't want to go back to Gabblimey's room yet, it was pretty stuffy thanks to the heater and he didn't necessarily want to bother her either. He instead opted to look around the Pokemon Center, the place was pretty big for such a small city.

"Yeah, I'd say it should be easy for you, Kia. You're really good at battling...I definitely need to work on some things..." He paused, thinking. "I wanna battle that Gabblimey girl again...show her what for." he mumbled softly. He made a noise of shock when the Raboot jumped on his shoulder, rubbing where he had landed. "Hmm...I think Bundt will be pretty helpful in this battle. After all, Fairy Types are good against Fighting Types, right?"
 
Shade nodded at Jake and Salasa, and then answered Salasa's question. "Yes, Fighting-Types are weak to Psychic, Flying, and Fairy, and all these types resist Fighting. However, most Fighting-Types learn Rock, Dark, and Steel-Type attacks, so I would suggest being careful."

She then focused her attention on Seth, who was having a bit of a rough time with whoever it was on the phone. Shade's Alolan Raichu had quietly floated up and behind him, eavesdropping a little before going back to Shade. She then floated over and gave Seth a hug, hoping he'll be alright.

Shade then focused her attention to Jake. "Are you sure you want to come with me and skip Stow-On-Side and Ballonlea? You won't be able to compete in Wyndon's Champion Cup. You can be my assistant at any time you want, but fighting in a gym with your friends watching and cheering you on is an experience that you won't get to face all that often. Are you absolutely sure, Jake?" Shade asked, making sure he was up for the task.
 
Shade smiled as Jake made his decision. "Then there we have it. I'm thinking of heading back to Spikemuth now, but I know we'll meet back up at Hammerlocke, where the last gym is. I'll see you then. Seth, you ready?" She said. She checked her datapad and noticed there was a Pokemon nearby. She scanned it, as it happened to be a Galarian Darmanitan, and it was capable of transforming. Two Pidgeys with one stone. Nice.

She put down her datapad and looked to see if anyone else was going to follow. She looked over to Aaron, who was enjoying the company of his Decidueye. That's who it was. She smiled and waved her hand at him. "You want to follow, Aaron?"
 
"Eeh, I'm not so sure that's such a good idea. Unless you can think of something better than what those two Nurse Joys have given her, I'd have to say no. Besides, I don't think she'd be too thrilled about any visitors right now, especially someone she doesn't know." He replied, then paused for a bit as if thinking before continuing, "but if you really think you can help her any further right now, then that's fine by me."

"Name's Alistar, nice to meet you Zac." He said, beginning to lead the way to Gabblimey's room. He opened the door and announced his return, "I'm back! I brought someone with me who said they might be able to help with your shivering, as suspicious as it might sound." He said, simultaneously walking into the room.
 
Seth accepted the hug from the Alolan pokemon. He did feel a bit better after it. It had been a bit of time that he had to think about all that had went on in his life, as it had been a rough couple of days. He walked up to each of his friends, and hugged them or shook theit hands if they felt too uncomfortable with a hug. "I will see you guys when you all reach the league, I am looking forward to see all of you fight your hardest. Now go in there and win. I will cheering you guys on from afar." With that he held up his phone to let them know that he would watch their battle via phone link to the gym network.

He then turned to Shade, and spoke to her. "Yeah I am ready to go, how do you want to do this, flying or walking? I am fine with either one."
 
Kia nudged Salasa. "Your not bad... You've always come close to beating me, so don't say that." She smirked. "I'm just better." Kia nodded. "Well, I think that my pokemon are fast enough to out speed Fighting Types, so their moves shouldn't be a problem. Half of the reason why Sasai's going to be used at all is because Fighting Type moves can't hit her anyways."
 

Gold The Dragonite

Previously Dratingonair
Aaron let go of Willow's grasp and shrugged his shoulders. "Might as well come with, I need to head to Spikemuth anyways. Come on, Venom." He called out, and Venom gave a lazy wave to the other Toxtricity before going to her trainer. He then turned to Seth and Shade. "If we're flying, then there might be slight problem.." Aaron didn't have a Flying-type, or anything that really could fly. "Well, if anything I could just catch something in the Wild Area," He said in his carefree tone.

Shade chuckled. "Well, you're in luck. Seth here has a Charizard and I can call my siblings to bring my Hydreigon here from back home. Besides, it would be best if we did so because the lake to Spikemuth is icy cold. I simply had my Chu use Psychic and move me above the waters. Of course, she wasn't feeling too well after the second time we did that. Too bad a train doesn't even touch the city," she then paused before continuing, a smile forming on her lips. "Orrr all three of us can hunker down on Seth's Charizard, which won't be ideal," Shade chuckled.
 
Gabblimey pushed Zac's hand away from her as soon as he was done. How else would she react, some stranger put their grubby hands on her.

"Yeah, that'd be n-nice. If my l-legs actually wanted to move m-more. I basically feel l-like I'm on stilts with how stiff they are. Besides, Alistar doesn't w-want me leaving... afraid I'm g-gonna hurt myself or something..."
 
Alistar thought for a while, trying to think of a solution. “Hold on, I’ll be back in five minutes.” He said, leaving the room. He returned like he said he would, this time with a wheelchair he’d gotten from Nurse Joy. “If you use this in the shower, you won’t have to stand.” He explained, “that and the whole process won’t be so awkward...”
 
"So what you're telling m-me is ya find some random d-dunce on the street, s-saying he can help. He says that warmth will h-help, as if I'm not in it a-already. Then he suggests a b-bloody shower even though I c-can hardly s-stand, so you grab a wheelchair. Just... god you are s-such a twit..."

Gabblimey edged herself to the side of the bed, then slowly made her way into the wheelchair. She crossed her arms, huffed, and sneezed.
 
"Hey, I'm doing all I can, it's only solution I can think of. It's only temporary, at least you'll be warmer this way, and your legs won't collapse again." He said, walking into the rooms small bathroom and switching on the shower. He continued to get everything ready, which didn't take very long, before returning to the room. "Everything's ready when you are."
 
Gabblimey groaned as she wheeled herself slowly into the bathroom. Such a gentleman... couldn't even be bothered to push her in himself. She closed the door and locked it behind her. She shook her head as she removed her clothing and glasses, putting them to the side. She wheeled herself into the shower, then sat there. The water was so cold. She reached for the knob to turn it higher, putting it up all the way. That was much better, she was starting to be able to feel again... about twenty minutes in.
 
“Okay” Zac said sarcastically “Anyway, I’m gonna go challenge Marnie.” He got to the door but then stop, “Is it okay if I travel with you guys? I’ll give you time to think, anyway see you at the Pokémon League”. He then went back to the lobby of the Pokémon Centre going though his Pokémon, deciding which Pokémon he should use.

Alistar shrugged to himself, "alright, guess that's fair." He said, though he didn't really have much to do right now except wait, he looked around the room and noticed how much of a mess it was. He sighed, "well, I'll have to do this sooner or later..." he said as he began collecting the empty plates and cleaning the crumbs off the floor.
