From: "Clayton" <redneckdadd@yahoo.com> Subject: [PW!] Back to the Mission Date: Friday, March 12, 2004 4:02 PM It was an irritating hike, but the rather large Search Party finally made it to the Pokemon Center. There was a round of good food and pokemon healing for the majority of the group. While Nurse Joy was busy with the pokemon, the rest of them were eating. All in all, it was a good couple of hours where problems seemed lesser. At the end of the meal, the pokemon that were left in the care of Nurse Joy were returned. With everyone back, the search party went back to deciding just where to go next. Meanwhile, Bob was just enjoying peace and quiet in an adjoining greenhouse. While it was more rock garden than plant garden, there was still one tree in the greenhouse with a branch strong enough to support the breeder. So after devouring a couple of hamburgers, Bob climbed the tree, wiggled around on the branch until he was comfortable and fell asleep. After a few minutes, one leg was dangling off of one side of the branch while the opposite arm was hanging off the other side of the branch. At the base of the tree, a Lotad was hopping about. Once an instrument of infiltration, the little pokemon was enjoying his freedom by floating in one of the little ponds in the greenhouse rock garden. The little Lotad, dubbed Kappa by the Magmas, studied the one that helped him in the base. Course, it's not hard to study a sleeping figure, but it was all right, Kappa didn't want to think much anyways. Up in the tree, Bob wasn't having a very restful sleep. Between the information forced into his mind at the Magma base and the mind control stuff and the paranoid fear of being kidnapped again, it was probably safer to not disturb him. ------- Back in the main part of the Pokemon Center, Alex and Cass had spread a large map of Hoenn across a table. Most of the group were studying it, however there were some exceptions. For example Derek was more intent to study a smaller version that was tacked up to one of the center's walls. "So what's the plan?" TBC ------- Clayton Random Tagline: Stressed spelled backwards is dessertS [NS: This would be the time if anyone wanted to try for the badge to say so. A day off shouldn't hurt the search much right? Also left a time gap, should anyone want to write something in about the travelling to Rustboro]
