"Dear Arceus, I've never been so happy to see a building before!" It could only be the cry of a certain Lavender Town citizen that desperately launched into the crisp air of Gustella as he and his current traveling partner, Rachana, finally reached their first stop on their long journey to Paradisia. If it wouldn't have made him look like an even bigger nut than he already was, Mikhail would have fell down to his knees and clung to the first fence post he saw. Thankfully for the rest of his party he decided to high-tail it to the Pokemon Center first. Actually, it was somewhat of a miracle that he would remember to stop at a place like that, forgetful as he was.
Or maybe he just wanted to take shelter in the biggest building there. Either way, it worked out just fine.
"Welcome to Gustella! I'm Nurse Joy, and this is--"
"You don't know how delighted I am to see you!" Mikhail interrupted, finally putting the pokeball he had in his hands down for the first time on one of the nurse's carts. She had just pointed to Chansey for introductions, but smiled knowingly at the boy and nodded.
"We'll be glad to heal everyone's pokemon. Those that don't enjoy being put back in their pokeballs can walk with us to the back rooms, but it would be much safer and easier if they could return to the capsules" she commented, patting the indentions in their carts meant for the pokeballs. Mikhail arched a brow and looked down to Snubbull, who at this point was more than ready to take a rest and had no qualms returning to his pokeball. Once he was recalled and his 'ball was placed in safe-keeping of the nurse, Mikhail crashed on the nearest booth he could find, seeking comfort in the cushions.
"Oh, I didn't get to say it back there, but you and your pokemon battle really well too. And uh, thanks for the compliment" he said, eyes closed as he tried to relax and speak to Rachana at the same time. "I guess you'll be going to the Breeding Center after this, right?" |

"I will after I visit the gym leader here to get the clue on where it will be," Rachana said as she returned her two Pokemon that had Pokeballs into them and promising them that as soon as they were healed she will let them back out. "Nurse Joy, I'm a breeders so my Ralts Chouko can't return to a Pokeball since I don't have one for her I hope that is alright," she said politely as she gave Nurse Joy and Chansey a smile. Chouko looked up at her breeder curiously as Rachana gently set her down on the cart where the other Pokeballs were and gave her a smile before she gave her a gentle hug and let Nurse Joy take over so that her and Mikhail's Pokemon can be healed.

Nurse Joy's expression faltered for only a moment as she regarded Rachana's question, and before they knew it she was smiling again, giggling before she and Chansey wheeled the cars around. "Of course honey, that's no problem at all! We have equipment to help any pokemon situation we might come across." With that, she and her helper passed through a set of double doors and left Mikhail and Rachana by themselves.
"The Gym Leader huh? I hope whoever it is isn't as backward as the rest of the people I've seen so far. I mean, Nurse Joy was alright, but--"
"Excuse me, son? I hope I didn't just hear what I thought I did" a loud, female voice cut in, a woman suddenly approaching the two and plopping her elbows onto the booth table as she stared down at Mikhail. "Keep talkin' like that and you won't get no kind of Gym battle!"
The teen was up and alert, hands thrown back as he stared forlornly at Wendy. "Uhh, yes ma'am?" he said, trying out the phrase for the first time. He couldn't admit that he really liked it, but he would put up with it before setting off that firecracker again.
She shrugged and turned to Rachana, grabbing her hand and giving it a rough shake. "This here's who I wanted to see anywho. Hear you're wanting to take the Breeder Challenge. Welp, I've got the information ya need!" she exclaimed. "I'm Wendy, this town's Gym Leader and master of birds. This is Pidgeot" she added, motioning to the large bird at her side. |

Rachana smiled in relief as Nurse Joy answered her and then went to have her friends and Mikhail's healed. She then turned to look at Mikhail as he spoke something about people being backward or something along those lines. She didn't quiet understand what he was getting at but listened anyway but before he could continue a woman appeared and stopped him from speaking anything else about people and how if he keeps it up he won't get a gym battle. The woman then turned to her and mention that she was here to see Rachana anyway before shaking her roughly. Rachana shook her head to clear her mind from the shake and answered Wendy, "Yes, and its very nice to meet you Wendy and Pidgeot," she then smiled when Wendy told her that she knew what she needed, "Thank you ma'am." Her voice was very polite as she spoke to Wendy.

Wendy nodded and smirked as she listened to Rachana, sticking her tongue out when she glanced over at Mikhail. "You should really take pointers from this kid, she knows how to treat a lady!" Letting go of the girl's hand, she gave Pidgeot a pat and the cleared her throat. "Okay, so, the riddle...
There is a place not far from here
It's not difficult to find.
Keep to Gustella's lefthand ear
And seek it with sound mind.
Your guide is known for being angry
And marked with a big red bow.
You`ll find it's not quite that scary
Which is strange for a big Fearow.
"Any ideas? You'll be stumped for sure" Wendy snickered after that, tapping her foot impatiently as she waited for the breeder to guess. Mik had an idea, but.. he wasn't about to speak up. |

Rachana listened to the riddle and gave it some thought before she smiled and said, "The breeding center is in the north-west area and from what it says in the riddle my guide to lead me to the breeding center is a Fearow with a red bow." The riddle wasn't too hard to figure out but she couldn't say that to Wendy because it may make her upset and she didn't want to do that so she just smiled at Wendy and waited to see if she guess correctly.

Suddenly, Wendy clapped. "Excellent! You know what to do, Pidgeot. Show them the way, and yes, I mean them - you could learn somethin' from this test too, kid" she noted, giving Mikhail the stink eye before shooing them to the Pokemon Center door. "Don't worry about your team - I'll tell Nurse Joy I'll watch after 'em until you two get back. Have fun!"
Pidgeot cried out and then hopped a few feet before flapping his wings and lifting himself off of the ground, the center doors sliding open before he took off, propelling high into the sky and seeming to screech before another large bird appeared, this one with a rather long beak and, ironically, a red bow around his neck. Mikhail rushed outside to meet the birds, putting his hands over his eyes as he watched the Fearow soar towards what looked like an Aviary, Pidgeot following. "Well, lead the way. This is your test after all" he said, yawning a bit. |

Rachana gave a nod and a smile to Wendy before she head outside the Pokemon Center, not to long after Pidgeot did, and soon saw the Fearow that had the red bow around his neck after Pidgeot screech for him. "Alright then lets go," she said in reply to Mikhail's words and upon seeing an Aviary is where the Fearow was heading to she took off running to keep the Fearow in her sight as she headed into the Aviary and soon she realize she was getting closer to it. She glance back to see if Mikhail was following her but kept her sights on the Fearow as she got closer to where he was leading them.

"Feeeeeeeeeeeearow! Fearow Fearooow!" Challengers on the way, Trevor. Getting ready to land.
"Piiiiiiidgeot!" Affirmative.
The pokemon seemed to be both speaking to each other and calling down to the Aviary below, and by the time Mikhail and Rachana got there, a scruffy looking fellow was exiting through the front door and waving. "I see you've figured out my riddle! Good job. Pidgeot, you can go back ta Wendy now, I know ya sent 'em in" he hollered, the mighty bird giving a curt nod before flying off and leaving them in his dust, Fearow settling down onto the ground and watching as several other pokemon began to set up. A long, plastic table was folded out by a Dragonite, a Dodrio carrying a sack that appeared to be rather heavy.
As the two worked together to get things set up, something began peeping not too far away. A naked, baby Ho-Oh chirped and seemed to wave a bare wing at Rachana and her friend, but as he tried to escape, Moltress cooed and tucked him back under its body. "We usually let the little ones socialize, but Moltres has been awful protective over him today. We think something may be wrong with his foot. Actually..." he paused, nodding as six eggs were set out, "would you two want to help me? It'd be good experience. Now, one of these eggs isn't my type, and the other is fake. Pick 'em out and you pass."

Rachana looked at the eggs as they are place on the table and smiled when she heard Trevor's words about the baby Ho-oh. She looked over at the two birds and said, "It's alright I hope he gets better." She gave a friendly wave back at the Ho-oh before Moltres had him put back under it. Once she did that she turned back to the eggs and looked at them carefully. After a while she believe she got the answer. "The one with the yellow stripe is the fake one and the one that isn't your type is one next to the blue and white one. It's the one that looks like the pattern of a Squirtle's shell," she said pointing to the egg that was next to the last one.

"Great job, you passed. Here's you an egg, take good care of it, ya hear?" Trevor said, batting the toy egg away before handing her the nearly solid grayish brown one, giving her a reddish brown pokeball to keep the little bird in when it hatched. He was surprised when she passed on helping him with the Ho-oh, but he could understand why she wouldn't want to.
Mikhail blinked and leaned in a bit to study the egg before shrugging, yawning once more before doing some awkward stretches to help wake him up. "Wonder what will hatch from it? But at any rate, we should probably go back to the Pokemon Center now. I trust Wendy and all, but I'd rather my pokemon be... you know. In my care" he admitted, rubbing the back of his head. Huh, he was getting protective of them already. Odd. "Thanks Trevor, we'll see you later I guess."
The breeder head arched his brow and waved, shrugging the odd kid off and helping his pokemon finish up.

Rachana smiled and took the egg but then she glance at the cage that held the injured Ho-oh and the Moltres. Growing concern and wondering if she could help she turned to look at Trevor, "Is there anything I can do to help the little one out?" She then looked at Mikhail. "I hope it's alright but if Trevor needs help I want to help him but Mik you can head on back to the Pokemon center and check on our Pokemon. I would prefer to have mine with me as well but I know they are safe at the Pokemon Center," she said softly as she held the egg she just got close. She had put the ball up for now until the egg hatches.

Trevor turned back to face Rachana, his face twisted into an awkward expression. "Oh? I thought ya didn't wanna help the little fella?" he asked, looking back to the Ho-oh, who had unfortunately snuggled back up under his Moltres for a nap. "Ya shoulda acted when you had the chance hun, looks like he's out cold now. It's a good thing too, seems yer friend over there has run into a bit of a problem" Trevor finished, turning back to taking down the table.
Indeed, Mikhail had somehow come across a few town brats that were too easy to tick off. Both boys were inching closer and closer to the trainer, their pokemon following their movements while he and Snubbull, who was with him now after running out of the Pokemon Center in search of his trainer. He glanced back at Rachana, a sweatdrop running down his face before he darted off towards the Center. "Follow me and we can double battle these punks! C'mon!" he called to her, sprinting off rather oddly with the trainers in tow. He needed his other pokemon if he wanted to battle... and so would Rachana. |

Rachana nodded at Mik in agreement and began to run off to the Pokemon Center hoping that her Pokemon were fully healed by now. She kept a good grip around her new egg she got from the breeder's center and headed into the Pokemon Center and headed to Nurse Joy asking for her Pokemon. She knew that Chouko would still be out since she doesn't have a Pokeball but she needed to get the Pokeballs of Fujimoto and Hanato.

Of course, the Gym Leader had just stepped aside to 'go tinkle' and had left Nurse Joy and one of her assistants with the various pokeballs and pokemon to look after when Mikhail, Rachana, Snubbull and the punks swept in. In a flurry the trainer thanked the woman for her services and snatched the one other capsule he needed, tossing Rachana hers and pointing to the breeder for Chouko to find her.
"Heh heh, nowhere left to run! We need to show these newbies who's boss in Gustella, eh Normy?" the boy with glasses said, adjusting them while his Treecko growled and stepped toward Snubbull.
"Exactly, Jake! Go, Lillipup!" he called, the small dog barking and facing Rachana.
"Sorry about this, Rach-- looks like the kids around here are really easy to anger and don't take jokes well..." Mikhail mumbled. "Can you use Fire Fang on that gecko, Snubb?" he asked his pokemon, who nodded and attempted the attack immediately.
