"Mankey return." Larry says a bit mad at the monkey. "I odda slap you." Larry mumbles. oshawott looks at Larry worried about how he feels "im fine, im just a little mad at him." and Larry repeats the steps again "ok mankey come on out." the mankey turns around to see Larry. "im not gonna hurt you again trust me" Larry says as he grabbed some more food, Larry lets the others out "ok guys time to eat!" and gives some food to each of his pokemon "here have some more." and gives mankey some more food

Mankey stays long enough to eat, but it doesn't seem to consider you its trainer.

Larry then asked the mankey "what do you want?" as he confused the little ape. "im asking do you want to go to your home, or stay here" Larry said to the mankey, "if you want adventure, fun, and family you should stick with us, but if you want a nice tree and some berries from a bush that you found then you'll want to go back to the mountain where more trainers can hurt you. I would prefer if you stayed with us but its your choice." Larry then got up and backed away "now you can choose: stay or go"

Hm Larry has very high Insight.

Mankey gives you an evil, mischievous look, grabs more food, and hops back into the Temporary Ball.

"hmm that's not what I expected but ok I guess" Larry said

META: explain what happened im lost

Following the path she came from, Shiva arrived at the Camping side around 10 minutes later. Well, it felt like that amount - given she already lost a little sense of time because of training and lurking at that nice spot and wasn't wearing a watch or similar, she wasn't actually sure if she was right about that.

A swarm of Pidgey that was looking for edible remains near the tent fluttered up in fright as they noticed a human arriving. 

Looks like none of the others have returned meanwhile. That note from Ventus was still laying at the same place, the tent was still standing, the fireplace was still scattered with ash.

Reliefed, Shiva sat down somewhere next this fireplace, a little out of breath from running. Going to wait for the others, then... She didn't know anything about  the dismantling of a tent, and she rather not get to try it... Might end up in either a mess or in frustration. Probably even both. Instead, she drew some of that sliced food she still had from breakfast at the Pokemon Center, placed it into her open hand and offered it to Cottonee. "For you. There's much more, eat as much as you like, no need to hold back. Wish I could offer you some berries, but we we're out of luck so far."

... ... ... ... ...

It didn't took long until waiting for the others got boring. Sure, nature was very pretty, occasionally she spotted a Pidgey or Rattata among the trees, and she was safe here - but according to the Guidebook's map (it looked like the author drew it by himself!) it wasn't far until Ginger Town now. Hopefully anyone will come back soon - preferably Ventus, because he probably knew how to dismantle the tent and will want to continue carrying it on himself. She began to wonder what kind of town Ginger will be. Appearantly there was or will be a festival there. She will gladly give it a visit! And, of course, there was the Day Care with the job opportunity. Probably the first thing she would like to see upon arriving. She'll do whatever she can to get accepted there... Not just because it will serve as a great way to earn money, but as well bring her some of the desired experiences.

Just a little bit of kerfuffle, no big deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EesfSYjuI

Seeing Staryu isn't too upset at him, Nathan relaxes a little. Guess he wasn't completely inconsiderate after all this time. "Okay, Staryu, there's just one other member of the party you need to meet...she's standing just over there right now." Nathan, Ralts and Staryu walk over to Swiftfire, who's been watching the battle from a respectable distance away, not wanting to get anywhere near the water. She didn't pay that much attention to the end of it though, as she is VERY surprised the water pokemon they were fighting is now joining them.

Swiftfire doesn't like this.

At all.

"Staryu, meet Swiftfire. Swiftfire, Staryu. I'm sure you two will get along, considering you have similar origin stories."

Swiftfire snuffs at Staryu in response.

Staryu playfully shoots a little bit of water at the fire horse.

Swiftfire 'accidentally' almost tackles the starfish in retaliation.

"HEY! CUT IT OUT, YOU TWO!"

Nathan's not in the mood for antics right now.

[Super_trainer_Larry]

Larry after being confused with what mankey was doing then realized what was going on and went to join Nathan to see what was going on. After walking for a bit his pokedex explodes with messages from his friends about the selfie he had with Rachel "wow its only been a day and everyone is freaking out about that selfie." with weedle on his shoulder he told weedle "good thing im not like everyone else, if I was I wouldn't have got to meet any pokemon to call my friends." Weedle was very happy with what Larry said.

Larry saw Nathan "hey Nathan you found the ponyta, and you got a staryu cool!" Larry said, Larry looked at the ponyta, the staryu, and the ralts and told Nathan "your team is amazing, well its better than mine is what I mean but its cool!" Larry then pulled out the rest of his leftover brunch and said "they must be hungry here they can have this." then Larry said "i'll be right back I got to find some bars for my pokedex." and walked around the route

[Dragonstrike]

After that little outburst, Nathan's surprised to see Larry has found him. And offered whatever food he had leftover to his apparently better team. "Okay...thanks, I guess..." Larry walked off soon afterwards, leaving Nathan and Ralts very confused...now that Larry had mentioned it though, he was kinda hungry. Snacks didn't exactly make for an excellent breakfast.

Ponyta was looking expectantly at the food Nathan now had. Staryu was eyeing it up too..."Alright, fine. I don't want any bickering over this food though. It'll be shared equally. Got it?"

The pokemon continue staring at the food.

'Yup, definitely going to be a loooonnnng day...'

[Dies Irae]

Vincent checks out the Long Grass and finds only a half-filled tunnel, only about a foot in diameter. Whatever Pokemon has made it has already escaped. But there are a few crumbs of hardtack around the entrance.

"Huh. We've got ourselves another serial snacker."

Sieg flaps it's wings in alarm at mention of a potential predator, inevitably slapping the back of his head with an outstretched wing. "Hey. Settle down little guy."

"Still. Since I'm happy to keep it attached, no sense shoving my hand down an occupied burrow. If our resident big eater wants more, it's likely to wander by later anyway."

Not like I can do much since I'm out of Pokeballs anyway.

Vincent turns, noting that the sounds of battle have subsided and that peace has returned to the glenn surrounding the crater lake. "Come on you guys. Judging by the silence, Nathan's cleaned up here. Let's go check in." Calmly, he sets off, Sieg contentedly perch on his shoulder while Winston trots along at a leisurely pace. At his side, a red food dish slides along the ground keeping pace with the little group.

"Got what you came for, Nathan?" He calls, approaching the little Pokemon gathering.
