It is now Day 69C, take your heartbeat XP.

While he recognized/was vaguely familiar with many of the species of Pokemon that populated the plains, Terra was none too interested in going off to Fight and/or Catch them. For one, he didn't want to separate from the group in this day and age with an impending disaster inbound who knows when, as that was just begging for trouble to pay him or them a visit. For another, Shiranui and Lapis Lazuli were still quite banged up from their respective battles 'yesterday' despite a night's rest, and so he wanted them to fully recover from their injuries before he started to seek out a good bout of combat and/or training.

Sure, he could use Potions/Energy Powders to bring them back to full health, or use simply letting them rest while working with Melly, Angie, Anubi, and Tommy in the meantime, but he'd rather to conserve his supplies and his overall partner's Strength for whatever hidden challenges ahead by simply waiting out the recovery time. As the Aesop of the Bunnary and Turtig says : 'Slow and steady wins the race!'

Instead, the mountain of a man decided to take it easy today for a rare change of pace, and simply spend time bonding and doing so light Training with his Pokemon. The first to receive his attention for the morning was none other than Mawile, who by now should have regained consciousness from getting dented up by his blood brother. He released them a little bit away from campsite so as not to provoke any possible incidents between the Deciever and the group, and couched down to regard them with a worried, somewhat abashed smile.

"Good morning, Mawile. Sorry for......Shiranui Fainting you, but......you wanted a Fight, so he gave you one. *Chuckles* Did well against him, though, so do not feel bad about loss. ....Caught you after battle, so......you are my partner now. *Shakes head with a frown* Didn't want to do it by force....but that is what happened. Sorry..... *Expression becomes serious and earnest* Promise to do.......good by you, for now on, though. Making you stronger, keeping you healthy, and feeding you plenty of tasty food. Will make you mighty, and happy. So....can you forgive me? Now....or later?"

Order: Just spend the Free Encounter bonding with Terra's Pokemon, starting off with Mawile! If that doesn't constitute a proper encounter, he'll cap things off in the future by having a light workout Training session with Angie, Anubi, and Tommy the Meowth. Don't really want to engage with the current setting all that much or overexert my character and his Pokemon, so why not have some good old R&R?

The steely fairy acts like a newly adopted cat - not ceding that Terra is her owner, but immediately taking advantage of the comforts of domesticity. She eats as much food as you can give her, especially fruits and Berries.
