"...got enough rest.  Just...*yawn*...trying to readjust.  Was studying for the Breeder's License exam, too. Don't want to pass it with a minimum score."
Indeed, his notes are rather wordy. Â There's more concepts than numbers in the world of pokemon breeding, after all.
(....)
"...sure, that shouldn't take too long. Lemme see here...where'd I put Ditto's pokeball...?"
A minute or two later, Ditto's come out! Except...
*ruff! Awoooooo!!*
...what comes out of the pokeball doesn't look like a Ditto, but a very scruffy and wild looking Mightyena.
"...are you able to Transform into Gallade real quick? Terra needs to make a quick trip to Stair."
Dittoena gives Nathan a funny look which also simultaneously looks a little disappointed for some weird reason.
"...I guess that's a no, then?"Â *sigh*Â "...alright, I guess Gallade's just going to have to do it, then...thank you for your help yesterday, though, Ditto, it's very appreciated."
Ditto is recalled. Gallade looks at Terra and nods. Whenever he's ready, Gallade will Teleport him to Stair and back.
(...)
"...uh...if it's a private talk, later might be better, I guess..."
Nathan's not entirely sure what Terra would need to talk about with him though, to be honest...
"Ah. ......Breeder's Exam? Though you were......rancher or historian, not like Shiva. Hm.....studying about.....cooking online myself *Motions with his Pokedex* Paid for very good lessons on it with Farfetch'd I rescued. *Frowns* It is....hard to understand, and give me a headache too. *Shrugs* Still, I try to learn. Lessons are interesting, and......want to get smarter in.....more......areas? Is that right.....saying, Nathan?"
Well well! Terra's taken up educating himself, despite his own lack of faith and confidence in his intelligence! What could have brought that about, I wonder.....
(...)
Terra isn't even phased or bothered when Mightto is summoned from his Pokeball and 'declares' that its current seemingly form is unTransformable atm, only offering them a smile and a handful of marshmallows that weren't there a moment ago. It's as if they seemingly materialized in his hand by the mere presense of a good doggie....or he just grabbed them from his Inventory while Nathan was distracted. Either or!
Regardless, the rugged wanderer is grateful that the boy allowed him to borrow his Gallade for the job instead, offering both a simple "Thank you," and a bow of his head. In exchange for this loan,
Terra leaves them with Angie temporarily (Whom he gotten out of his PC earlier and replaced Genie [again]), offering them a small smile and chuckle as he did so.
"Angie has wanted to......meet with you after Evolving, so this is good time for that. Don't try to order her around without.....her permission. Has become.....more prideful and aloof with Evolution, so she will not listen if you try to......command her. She is still sweet and kind, though, so should be no problem playing with her *Shrugs* but told her to behave with you, just in case. *Smiles wider* Have fun."
With that said, Terra departs from the Center and makes his way to Stair City and the Disobedience Shelter, were upon he uses their PC to re-organize his party get Duskull and Mawile in it to hand over to the receptionist/whoever is in charge of Camp Training, before reforming his party to the following: Michael, Lapis Lazuli, Genie, Tommy, Bastiodon, and Gallade (Temporarily). I recall that the supervisor might raise objections of taking in a Skull Ruins Ghost for behavioral therapy, and a voracious and tricky Fairy type might be no better than the former,Â
but the sagely monk will derail any such protest by placing their Pokeballs and $3600 Poke required for both their Camp trip on the desk in front of said supervisor with a *THUD* , and just calmly staring at themÂ
expectingly. He has the money, the need to spend it, his partners are within their Camp acceptance parameters, and the Shelter was always looking for more funds, so....
Also, what sort of notable Eggs are being house by the Shelter at this time? Might as well ask, while's the rugged wanderer is still there!
Once everything at the Shelter is taken care of, the rugged wanderer immediately Teleports back to Cress, texts Nathan to meet up with him at the Center, and when they arrive they will
switch Angie and Gallade back to their original trainers. Terra will then wait on everyone else to gather up and depart to their next destination alongside them, as he has nothing else that need be done in Cress/anywhere else. Simple as that!
Final Team Composition for Departure: Michael, Lapis Lazuli, Genie, Angie, Bastiodon, and Tommy.
As for Nathan's acceptance of his requested private meeting later on, the steely brawler just nods his head, finishes breakfast with his Pokemon, and does the above scene(s) regarding Teleservices. That is all!
(Ready to get moving, mates! This'll be my last post for the day, though, but I'll post any Encounter choices/preferences of mine in the Meta Thread, so no worries!)
