Warm sand, rock hard skin.

[Sylvia]

Exavier ran ahead, Vasco hanging in his mouth. He'd taken the bug from Anima and was playing keep away in the sand, until he tripped, dropped him, and slid into the hot sand. "Ar." Exavier came out of the mound of sand, covered with sand. "Dang it, E, you're all sandy." Sylvia walked up to him and scratched his head. Excavier bunted into her hand, until he saw Anima. Then he started growling, his fangs flaring with fire.

[Anima Everhart]

Anima smirked as she saw Excavier bare his fire fangs. "I was never a fan of fire, you know. I wouldn't threaten me though, child. Cenric is very protective, he'll make sure to wash out that mouth of yours." Anima said, showing no fear. She was use to a Pokemon much like Excavier, in fact, it was her first Pokemon she hatched as an egg on this journey.

Vasco looked up, he was back in the hot sandy area. He had been grabbed by Exavier and suddenly fell. Guess the bird dropped him...Time to explore. Vasco began squirming around, exploring the semi-new territory with interest.

[Sylvia]

Exavier looked at Vasco squirming away and followed suit, staying in the skies to avoid being spotted. 'Little worm...' Sylvia sighed as she took Alfred from her bag. "Hey buddy, you're up next."

[Anima Everhart]

As Vasco wandered around, he spotted something shiny? He crawled through some bushes and up to the giant steel creature curiously. Was it real? Was it sleeping? Vasco clawed at the creature curiously. Poking it, trying to figure out what it was. Suddenly it's eyes open and shot daggers at the creature who dared wake her up. She let out a furious screech and began trying to attack the now fleeing Shrimp.

Anima looked up. She knew that screech anywhere. "Oh no!" Anima ran towards the sound. She hadn't even been where, but Vasco had wandered off rather far. Would she make it to the sight in time?

[Sylvia]

Jasna pecked at the little Shrimp as it attempted to run. "KAR AAKRKARK" The little bugger WOKE HER UP. He must DIE. "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" screeched Exavier as he circled overhead, snorted loudly. Who would have thought anything of it until she realized that, when she ran into something larger than a Shrimp, something was wrong. "Hello there, young lady, may I ask what you are doing with Vasco?" Vasco was sitting on Leonard's head. "CRAW" 'HEY, OLD GUY, GIMME THE SHRIMP. MY KILL.'

[Anima Everhart]

Anima finally caught up to the scene, thankfully, Leonard had gotten there fast enough to stop anything serious from happening. She saw just who Vasco had awoken. Anima was surprised. her fear was true. "Jasna!" Anima said, her voice showing how she was surprised to see the young, run away Skarmory

The Pokemon had ran off the first moment she had gotten the chance, flying away from Anima and off to somewhere. Anima never thought she'd see Jasna again, yet here she was. Growling and Cawing like she remembered.

[Sylvia]

Jasna growled at Leonard and then turned her attention to the thing flying in the sky. That thing, that thing must have alerted that old guy. She shot up and rammed into the rock hard stomach of Exavier, who flew up and swept down, sending them hurtling to the ground. When the dust parted, Exavier was holding Jasna down by her head with his foot. Leonard handed Vasco back to Anima, and then turned to Exavier, who was staring Jasna down. "CREEE" 'Boi I'm going to HURT you when you get offa me.' Exavier just sort of watched. "Thank you, Exavier. Let me take it from here." Leonard bent down and grabbed Jasna by her steel neck and threw her in front of Anima, holding her down with his own foot. "What do you wish for me to do with this?"

[Anima Everhart]

Anima sighed. She hated this kind of treatment. While yes, Jasna deserved it more than anything, Anima didn't have the heart to see such things happen to the bird, she was only a child. "...Nothing." Anima said with a sigh. She didn't want him to do anything to her.

"She is my Pokemon after all...I'll deal with her later." Anima finally with a sigh, disappointment and sadness could be herd in her voice, taking out Jasna's Cherish ball, Anima returned the bird before Jasna could do anything else. Anima saw as the sun set. They probably should set up camp...

[Sylvia]

Sylvia walked up to Exavier and began scratching his neck, he then muzzled up against her and knocked her down again with his huge head. Sylvia hugged it. "Momma's got you." Leonard apologized to Anima for his violent behavior and teleported away. "That was your Skarmory, Anima?" Sylvia looked at her, you know, until Exavier crawled onto her and blocked out her view with his wings.

[Anima Everhart]

"Ya..." Anima admitted, her voice still sad. "I got her from the Open Skies Breeding Center. Heh, even as a newly hatched chick, she was such a grouch and fought a lot. She never liked me. One day I woke up and found out she broke out of her ball. I tried to catch her, but it was too late, she got outside and flew away. I don't have any Pokemon that could chase after her. I thought I'd never see her again."

Anima looked at the Cherish ball of Jasna. Remembering the earlier times. "I don't really know what to do with her, I'll be honest. I don't think it's really good for me nor Jasna if I keep her.

Anima and Sylvia sat at their camp site, a fire lit up the darkness and warmed the now cold night.

Anima never really liked fire much...

[Sylvia]

Exavier walks over and grabs the Cherish Ball from her, and then goes back to smother Momma Sylvia. "Boy, give that back to her." Sylvia grabbed the ball and began pulling on it, attempting to release it from the Pokemon's grip. "Let... Go... EXAVIER!" Sylvia fell back, failing at getting it from her Aerodactyl.

[Anima Everhart]

Anima laughed a little as Sylvia tried to take Jasna's Pokeball away from Exavier...Wait... A turned on in Anima's head. "Hey, Sylvia, I know this seems random and you already have Exavier, but maybe. Could you hold on to Jasna? Maybe she'll be better off with you and if she tries flying off again, you have two Pokemon who could easily catch up with her." Anima explained.

Who knows, maybe Jasna would also grow tamer around a flying type as well. Or not.

[Sylvia]

"Uhm... Sure..." Sylvia flicked Exavier's nose, making him release the Cherish Ball. "Are you sure...?" She turned it around in her hand. Then something popped into her mind. She put two fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly, summoning Leonard. "Yes, master?" Sylvia looked up. "Bring my a muzzle and a harness that can double over a leash. When you come back, I need your help holding Jasna down so she doesn't fly off." Sylvia stood up as Leonard came back with the materials.

"Ready, master?" Sylvia pushed the button on the Cherish ball, releasing Jasna from the ball. 'FRE-' "Nope!" Leonard jumped on her, holding her wings to the ground. 'GET OFFA ME O- MMMFF' Sylvia had put the Muzzle on her, and then attached the leash. She then tied her to Exavier. "Alright, let her go." As soon as Leonard got off, she tried to shoot off, but couldn't. Exavier was holding her down.

[Spirit]

Anima frowned...It was understandable, but a little cruel at the same time. Unfortunately, all the commotion woke up some Pokemon who were sleeping in the area. Angered by their disturbed sleep they attacked with rage.

Alfred jumped out of the backpack, shooting huge, sticky bubbles at the Ekans. The Ekans merely shook it off and approached Sylvia. "Hi there!" Sylvia picked the snake up, well, as much as she could, it still touched the ground. "How're YOU?"
