"Right, let's get to work." You say, starting on hauling some of the more substantial bits of deadwood into a pile out of the way.

The others join in shortly and soon enough, the space available to you is clear enough you could fit your tent, or two of the others in.

"I think I can see why nobody's been using this spot." Martha says, shaking her head at the blackberry bushes. "Trying to clear all this shit out would be a pain in the ass, without work gloves.

"You don't have any?" You ask, startled.

"Do you?" Martha asks, arching an eyebrow at you.

A quick check of your bag reveals that yes, actually, you do have a pair of sturdy gloves as part of your caving kit.

"What if we just used our fire types to burn up the blackberry?" Kathryn offers.

"That's insane." You reply, beating Fie to the punch.

"The bush isn't tinder dry, but it'll still burn without much encouragement." She says. "So, no."

"I could always get Salazzle to poison the blackberry." Jean notes.

"I dunno... Sludge Bomb is pretty indiscriminate." Fie says doubtfully.

"Don't sweat it." You say, pulling on your gloves, adjusting your coat and releasing Rusty.

He looks up at you, wide eyed and alert.

"Gimme a hand here, Rusty." You say, pulling out your survival knife and going to work clearing the brush. "Get in under these vines and use Metal Claw to dig them out." You say.

Rusty gives a nod and a growl, before squeezing into the thicket and starts ripping it up by the roots.

It's all you can do to pull what he uproots out and cut it up small.

Jean helps as best she can with the detritus, setting a fire going and piling it to dry out.

The bushes are also loaded with berries, which she's gingerly picked out and set aside for the time being.

Meanwhile, Gareth has dug your tent out and is endeavouring to get it set up, but he's not having much luck. Not surprising, considering it's nearly four times the size of his.

You've made a reasonable dent in the blackberry, enough for another tent to be set up in, but it's still going to be cramped and there's plenty more blackberry to be dealt with.

"Here, allow me." You say, stepping up and helping Gareth get your tent set up, then going inside to roll up the carpet.

"I don't know how you manage such a big tent." He admits, shaking his head.

"Just practice." You reply simply. "Mind giving me a hand with the blackberry?" You ask.

"Sure." He says, before digging out his own gloves.

After a brief moment's thought, you release Sage and ask her to use Psybeam to help clear the brush as well as you get back to clearing.

It turns out, many hands do indeed make light work.

Between Rusty's efforts and Gareth's help, you very rapidly start making headway with regards to clearing out the blackberry.

Sage's help is useful as well, with regards to unsticking the more tangled and stubborn sections of blackberry, at least up until you hear a yelp and look around to see she's got a length of thorny vine stuck in her ears and she's doing the hot foot amongst some stray pieces that haven't been added to the fire yet.

Organize the pile we cleared out as a fuel pile.

>>5187737
>>5187744

You drop the clump of vines you were just pulling out and head over to Sage and delicately fish the vine out.

She calms down and lets you pick her up and examine her feet.

Fortunately she hasn't got any thorns stuck in her feet, but with how she's whimpering, you get the impression she has no desire to go anywhere near the blackberry again.

You pet her reassuringly, before depositing her next to Jean.

"You help Jean with the fire, okay?" You say.

Sage gives a yip in response as Jean gives you a thumbs up and continues stacking bits of blackberry vine on the fire.

You've made some real progress now with regards to clearing space:

There's enough space for your tent plus three of the others now and you've got a healthy supply of fire wood, but there's not much room to really move around in outside of that.

And you're starting to run out of blackberry to clear.

There're a couple of bottlebrushes past them, but that's starting to stray under the big gum trees.

Which, caming under those, isn't really a good idea, considering the size of some of the fallen branches you see further out into the underbrush. Particularly if the wind picks up like it did on your way to Newport.

Then, a drop of water hits your cheek and looking around, you can make out the first raindrops starting to fall as it starts to spit.

>That'll do, get another couple of tents up and settle in.

You sweep over the now cleared patches of blackberry and Jean gets Salazzle to poison them so it doesn't grow back, before you pitch a couple more tents as the rain starts to pick up in intensity.

After you're done, Martha rigs a tarp between the tents, so you've got some space to sit.

"Well, this isn't so bad." Jean says, stacking the fire higher. It's too early for dinner just yet, but getting a bed of coals going is going to make that much easier later.

"So... w-what do we do now?" Holly asks.

"We can't exactly train our pokemon or anything with how cramped it is, but now would be a good time to do any studying or planning." Judy says. "And you can still practice with your psychic abilities." She adds.

Holly nods and settles down to do just that, focusing intently on a small rock.

>>5188577

Well, you've got plenty of time to do stuff now, so you might as well get some talking in and you've got a few questions for Gareth specifically.

You catch his eye and jerk your chin towards your tent.

He nods and you both move away from where the girls are busy doing their own thing and into your tent.

"What's up?" He asks as you both make yourselves comfortable.

"Just wondering if you had any input on that whole dream sequence." You admit.

Gareth nods.

"I've got to admit, I'm jealous you got to meet Henry Williams like that." He admits. "Though, this Mike... was he the one who tried to hold us up at the junction to Route One?"

"Yeah, that was him. We've never gotten on." You confirm.

"Hm..." Gareth says, scratching his chin. "It's a little concerning he seems to be following us, like this then, but it's interesting that he be the one who you faced in that dream as well." Gareth says.

"How so?" You ask.

"He's somewhat... dull." Gareth explains.

"He has a tendency to annoy people, is an incorrigible bully and his default vocabulary is full of profanity." You note. "That's not a surprise."

"No, I mean his aura." Gareth explains. "Normally, people like you're describing have a tendency to have very aggressive and overbearing auras. His isn't. It's... faint. As if he's disconnected from it, a bit like those idiots in Team Green."

You blink, taken aback.

You're pretty sure if Mike met anyone in Team Green, he'd be just as likely to bend them into a pretzle and steal their wallets, but you have to wonder at what sort of correlation there is there.

"What's interesting about that is, Henry had you face him instead of someone else. We would've been more or less the same distance from you on that island and yet, he chose to pit you against Mike instead of me or Fie, or Jean." He explains. "So, there might be some sort of bond between you."

"Probably mutual dislike." You say.

"Possibly." Gareth agrees. "Still, we won't know for sure unless that sort of thing keeps happening." He says with a shrug.

"You enjoying the trip so far?" You ask after a beat.

Gareth nods.

"Yeah, it's been great so far." He confirms as you dig out the incubator to check on your egg.

It doesn't seem like much has changed since yesterday, but the egg is moving fairly regularly now.

"Getting to meet new people and travel with you and the others has been great." He adds, grinning.

"How're things going with Jean?" You ask.

Gareth freezes up at this and the expression on his face is comical, even as he starts to blush bright red.

"Um... alright." He says evasively. "How're things with Fie?" He asks.

You grin.

"Nice and cruisy." You reply. "You staying in her tent, or vice versa tonight?"

"Uh..." Gareth manages, blushing again, before all but bolting out of your tent.

You have to chuckle a little at his reaction as you put the egg back in your pack.

It's definitely getting close to hatching, it'll just be a question of whether it hatches on the road or here at the lake.

Looking at your watch, it's a little way past three o'clock. That's plenty of time before dinner and evening, it's just a question of what to do with the time.

You pull out your pokedex.

You completely blanked when Mike sent in Sneasel.

And while that's forgivable in the context of a dream, partiularly while you're concussed, it's not the first time you've seen a pokemon you don't immediately recognise on the trip so far.

You've seen more than your fair share come through the Greenshoot pokemon centre, but plugging the gaps in your knowledge now seems like a good idea.

That in mind, you start browsing your pokedex.

It turns out that there's a lot more pokemon that live in Arnet than you figured.

And a lot more variety, but considering how often it rains down here in the south-east, you're surprised at the abundance of fire-types everywhere.

It's one thing to know Arnet is classified as semi arid, but it's another to see it, you guess.

There also seems to be a lot of Legendary sightings, both around the lakes and mountains, but also around the islands to the south.

They tend to be blurry, but around Mount Reflection in particular, there's a lot of videos and photos, along with old accounts of a Rayquaza calling the mountain home.

There's also the enduring mystery of how Lake Audacity never seems to lose water, even though it's in the middle of a region that by all rights should be deep desert and the only river that leads into it is dry half the time.

After about an hour, you put your pokedex aside and blink to try and refocus your vision.

You feel sure you can recognise any pokemon from Arnet now and most you could reasonably expect to see on the road.

You sit up and stretch. That was a nice rest, but you kind of want to do something else now and you feel like you can't possibly cram anything else into your brain right now.

You get up and go outside to walk around a bit.

Just a short break, then you'll start getting an overview of the gym leaders. Yeah.

The others are mostly occupied with their own study or pokemon, barring Gareth and Jean, who're having a hushed conversation as you go around the edge of the camp, flicking the odd piece of missed blackberry vine into the bush, before you go back into your tent, where Fie is just now rolling out her sleeping bag.

"Hey, just taking a break?" She asks.

You nod.

"Can't sit around studying all afternoon." You reply.

Fie nods.

"That's true enough." She says, flopping down on her sleeping bag. "Still, the rain's not going to be letting up any time between now and tomorrow morning, so not a lot else to do. Unless you want to give everyone a heart attack again." She adds lightly.

"Two concussions are more than enough for one week." You reply, pulling out your sleeping bag to join her.

You sit in companionable silence for a while, before a thought occurs to you.

"So, your dad gets protective where boys are involved, huh?" You ask.

Fie shrugs.

"Protective is the wrong way to characterise it. Selective might be a better way to think of it." She replies.

"Selective?" You ask.

"He doesn't want me hooking up with a trainer, he wants me to marry a 'working man'." Fie replies, rolling her eyes. "He thinks the reason me and my brother don't have 'real jobs' is because we got into pokemon training." She explains.

"And he's a Gym Leader." You say dubiously. "Not to be a dick, but he sounds like a bit of a hypocrite." You note.

Fie nods.

"He is." She confirms. "His justification is, he's worked hard, he deserves a hobby." She adds drily.

You stare.

You're pretty sure if your mother heard that, she'd beat about ten different kinds of shit out of him.

"Arceus..." You say, shaking your head. "It's one thing to worry about having money, but it's another entirely to go around dictating people's lives like that."

Fie nods.

"Yeah, that's why I took so well to martial arts." She says. "He respects anyone who can beat him in a fight, which precludes most Gym challengers, so... I might have spent an appreciable fraction of my journey practicing specifically so I could kick his ass." She admits.

"Well it's paid off."

She grins at that.

"It's had its benefits." She says modestly.

"D'you like being a gym leader?" You ask.

Fie nods.

"Yeah. It can get hectic sometimes, but it's not quite as hestic as you hear about." She says. "That 'three losses' thing? It's actually a yearly percentile. And that aside, it's really satisfying helping people get their start." She adds.

"Yeah, about that. Your brother's gym business and Ethan's bug catching, are those one-offs or do all the leaders have side-challenges?" You ask curiously.

"Everyone's got their own thing." Fie confirms. "It could just be a bit of fun, or it could be practical. Or both." She says. "Daniel makes people do a fitness set. Dad either makes people spar with him or one of his pokemon. And I vary it up a bit, depending on how wet behind the ears a given challenger is." She adds.

"How so?" You ask.

Fie waves a hand airily.

"Oh you know. Make sure kids know fire safety, first aid, that sort of thing." She says, then gives you a wry smile. "You're kind of a pain in the ass in that regard, because you really know your shit." She says.

"Thanks." You reply, feeling rather elated at the complement.

"Still don't know what I'll throw at you, but I do try and make it a learning experience." She adds.

"Do you know what any of the other gyms do?" You ask curiously.

"I do." Fie confirms, then raises a hand. "I'm not going to ruin the surprise for you though. That's half the fun. You can ask people on the road or look up everyone's bios, but getting insider information off me is kind of cheating." She adds, forestalling the obvious follow up. "I'm only excluding my brother and father from that because you know Daniel and dad... well..."

"He's a prick?" You suggest.

"Well yeah, but I've also got a stake in you kicking his ass." She adds. "You're a pretty good fighter, but you might want to try picking up another style to supplement it." She suggests. "Dad's is just full-out aggression. A lot of holds, locks and punches, he's not likely to give you the space for some of those fancier kicks."

That does sound like it'd be a pain to deal with, but you have some practice with countering holds. Not a lot, but some.

You nod all the same, since it sounds interesting regardless.

"You got any funny stories from on the road?" You ask curiously.

Things are getting a bit heavy, you figure a different subject could lighten things up.

Fie nods.

"Oh, yeah." She says. "A lot of them feature Judy, alcohol and compromising positions." She adds. "Anyone says anything about alcohol tonight, veto it. She's the worst sort of person to drink with: an enthusiastic lightweight."

"What did you guys used to do that you drank enough to have stories like that?" You ask, startled.

You figured Fie and her friends for a lot more responsible than that.

"Poor decision making." Fie replies. "Games of truth or dare that went out of control, mostly."

"Better question, why did you have alcohol in the first place? You would've been what? Fourteen?"

Fie fidgets.

"It was supposed to be for cooking." She explains. "But... you know how it is. Stupid kids doing stupid things." She adds.

"I guess I can understand that." You concede.

"How about you? Any standout stories?"

"Oh, yeah." Youy say, nodding. "There's a pack of wild Houndour and Houndoom in the foothills of the Divide." You begin. "I would've been about twelve. So, I've gone off camping with dad and his Arcanine for the weekend and he's setting up camp when I go for a walk and come across one of their pups."

"Oh, Arceus..." Fie says, looking apprehensive, like she's expecting this to be another near miss disaster.

"So, me not knowing any better, I start playing fetch with it and just start attracting more and more of the pack, who think it's great fun." You explain. "So, I keep throwing sticks and they keep bringing them back for about an hour before dad and Arcanine come looking for me, at which point they scatter. I didn't really think anything of it until we got back home and mum blew up and grounded me for a month for putting myself in so much danger."

"Yeah, I'm kind of with your mother there, but I've got to admit, that is pretty damn impressive." Fie admits. "Especially considering that photo of Martha's." She adds. "...Actually, that Eevee of yours, how'd you meet him?" She asks as the thought occurs to her.

"Found him poking around an old machine shop looking for food." You reply with a modest shrug. "Why?"

"...Huh." Fie says, looking actually incredulous now. "Eevee are really, really skittish." She explains. "And... yeah, I can actually believe you did that, after that rainstorm." She admits. "Actually, was that the first time you've been attacked by a wild pokemon?"

You have to stop and think about that for a moment.

"...Yes?" You say finally. "Unless I'm forgetting something, but I doubt it." You add.

"You'd remember." Fie says seriously. "I mean, you're still looking around to see where that Rufflet is." She notes.

She's got you there, you have to admit.

"Well, what's the significance?" You ask.

"I'm not sure, it's just super weird." Fie admits. "Still, it sounds like a bit of a gift. Maybe it'll develop as you muck about with aura?" She says, then shrugs.

"Maybe."

"You didn't actualy tell one of your stories." You note.

"Huh. I didn't." Fie admits. "Well, all the ones involving Judy involve her getting drunk and winding up in one of our tents accidentally, usually buck naked.
It kind of stopped being funny after the second time." She adds. "And I told you about how I became a trainer and nearly died because I was a dumb twelve year old..." She sighs and shakes her head. "That story of yours kind of blows the majority of mine out of the water." She admits.

"Hey, this isn't a competition." You note.

"True..." She admits. "Still, there was that time I tried climbing Mount Aspiration in search of an Alolan Vulpix." She says. "Kind of the reason I hate caves."

"What happened?" You ask.

"I nearly froze to death." Fie says frankly. "If it weren't for Cinder and my then-Carkoal, I probably would've." She adds with a grimace. "I got about halfway up and got lost in the cave network." She explains. "The crazy part is, I woke up back at the roadhouse at the base a couple days later. There's just a mental gap there for two days." She adds.

"That's... huh." You say.

That is kind of crazy.

"I mean, Mount Aspiration is full of Psychic pokemon, so it could've just been then, but even so, it still weirds me out." She says. "Worst part is, Alolan Vulpix aren't found on Mount Aspiration." She says. "They're mostly found along Route 9, between Ferrisville City and Springreach Town."

"Ouch."

"Yeah, not my proudest moment." Fie admits.

"And you give me shit for my misadventures." You say, without any real sting.

"I've been there, done the stupid shit and lived to tell people not to do it." Fie says with dignity. "Just because you know what you're doing, don't go getting complacent." She advises.

"Alright, alright." You say, waiving her off.

"So, anything I ought to know about your brother?" You ask.

"What do you know about him?" Fie asks in reply.

"...Pretty easy going." You say as you think on the owner of the local Gym. "I genuinely didn't realise that he was a Gym Leader, he runs the place as a general fitness centre." You admit. "He always struck me as just a pretty cool guy who was really into fitness and personal development."

Fie nods.

"Yeah, that's Daniel." She confirms. "He's the one who suggested I ought to make my challenge about preparedness, fire safety and knowing just what the hell you're doing. Three guesses what his is about." She adds.

"Fitness, diet and the importance of warm up stretches?"

"Close. Last one's the importance of not overdoing it." Fie corrects. "And in case you're wondering, no, he's not about to give you a hard time over me." She adds. "Hell, he's more likely to call me and tell me not to scare you off." She adds.

"Hah. Well, no danger of that." You assure.

Fie fidgets and blushes a little at that, but doesn't say anything.

"So, anything else you want to talk about, or what?" she asks.

"Hm... Up for a spar?" You ask.

Fie shrugs.

"Yeah, a quick one." She says, standing, then gives you a look. "This isn't just you looking for an excuse to see me changing, is it?" She asks.

Fie's still giving you a look.

"Oh fine, I promise to cover my eyes outside the tent." You add. "I reserve the right to look through them though." You add when she looks like she's relaxing."

This is her cue to close the gap and punch you, playfully, in the arm.

It seems like Fie's back on form today, because she's giving you a real workout.

This is just what you needed: It's not no-holds-barred, but Fie is a really, really good fighter-

Your line of thought is cut short however as you slip on the wet leaves. It then terminates in shock and pain as the kick Fie just through misses your thigh and instead lands square in your groin.

You give a yelp and roll around in the dirt, trying not to swear or groan too much as you're wracked by pain.

You're dimly aware of Fie releasing Cinder and being carried back to your tent and her getting your towel and looking very contrite and embarrassed all the while.

"...Wrestle instead?" You ask weakly.

"Well, I can't deny you've got guts." She admits as you strip out of your now soaked and muddy clothes.

You can see Fie pretending not to watch, but she's clearly enjoying the view.

You're just about to start putting on dry clothes when the tent flap opens and Kathryn pokes her head in.

"Everything- Oh." Kathryn says, blinking.

"Uh..."

"I'll just leave you guys to it." She says.

"Wait, what-" Fie begins, before Kathryn seals the tent again, leaving you and Fie sat there staring.

"Well, she's got ideas." You say as you start pulling on dry clothes.

"I'll handle it." Fie says, going to the tentflap and following Kathryn out.

Now alone, you quickly finish changing, before going out yourself.

"...And you're sure you weren't-" Kathryn says, then blushes as she catches sight of you.

"We weren't fooling around." You assure.

You're still goddamn sore, but that's beside the point.

"But why were you in there then?" She asks Fie. "While he was changing."

"Art appreciation." Fie admits, shamelessly. "Speaking of changing, think I will as well." She adds, before ducking into your tent.

Kathryn turns to you and gives you a questioning look.

"Why're you so worried?" You ask, feeling exasperated. "I was just changing. I've got the muddy clothes to prove it." You add.

"How do I know you're not putting on an act?" Kathryn asks.

You can't tell if she's actually serious or not.

"I didn't get kicked in the balls for sympathy, if that's what you're suggesting." You say with dignity. "And I know I look like a walking disaster storm, but I'm more like a trouble lightning rod." You add.

"So you didn't fall over on purpose?" Kathryn asks.

"No, I slipped. If it had've been on purpose, it would've been way more controlled." You say. "Also, not somewhere I was clearing of blackberry not even an hour ago." You add.

"Okay, that's fair." Kathryn admits, finally sounding convinced.

It's getting late now and it's about time you started thinking about dinner, to your eye.

Thefire's got a nice bed of coals going now, so after knocking and getting a 'come in' from Fie, you retrieve your cooking utensils and your food and start preparing dinner.

It's a bit of an eclectic mess of ingredients that everyone provides, but the core ingredients you have to work with are sausages and beans.

Adding in the dried vegetables everyone else provides, you quickly manage to throw together some 'bullshit stew', as the Junior Ranger Leader who ran your local group called it.

You don'thave that much in the way of spices or whatnot to work with, but soon enough, everyone else is eyeing the bubbling pot as you put some potatoes on to boil and prepare a damper.

"How did you get so good at cooking like this?" Holly asks, mystified as she watches you work.

"A lot of practice." You reply modestly.

"I'd have thought you'd need at least a table to work with." She admits, sounding embarrassed.

"It'd be nice, but it's not a hard requirement." You assure. "I mean, if I were feeling lazy, I just could've put some canned beans in the pot, but that's hardly going to feed everyone." You add reasonably.

"Eh, depends how many cans you put onto cook." Martha chips in from across the fire. "Still, I'm not about to complain about having someone in the group who can cook worth a damn." She says.

"Wait, I thought Kathryn could cook." You say as Holly looks just as surprised as you.

"No, Kathryn [i]likes[/i] cooking." Kathryn corrects as the girl in question fidgets. "She's banned from cooking group meals unless she's got supervision." She elaborates.

"Huh." You say intelligently. That's kind of interesting, considering where you got that impression.

Shortly thereafter, you've got nothing to do again as you set the timer for the stew and look around the camp:

It's stopped raining for the moment, but there's no telling when it'll start again.

Jean and Gareth are meditating by the flap to her tent, while Martha and Kathryn seem to be having a cutthroat round of some game on their phones while Judy reads something absently on hers.

Holly is looking around with an attitude of uncertainty, while just in the door to your tent, Fie is sat grooming her Flareon.

Looking over at Fie reminds you: You've got a grooming kit as well.

And this is the first good opportunity you've had to actually give your pokemon some treatment.

"Hey, I brought a grooming kit back in Newport." You say to Holly. "And it looks like you've taken good care of Checkers. You mind showing me how to make the most of it?" You ask.

"Oh, uh... I guess?" She says taken off-guard by the question.

You nod before going and retrieving your kit and laying it out.

"Oh, it's a beginner's kit..." Holly says. "It's pretty basic, but that's the whole point." She adds, before releasing Checkers and starting on brushing him. "Every pokemon's different, but you need a firm hand to get any shed fur out..." She begins, frowning as though recalling lectures she's received on the subject.

You listen closely and do as she says as you watch her with Checkers.

Sage squirms and yelps a little at the beginning, but she soon settles down as you find a pressure she seems to like and lets you brush her with nary a complaint from then on as you work the dead fur and some minor tangles out of her fur.

"You're good at this." Holly says as she moves onto Cotton, who seems to be a very patient Swablu with how he sits through Holly going through the manual in the beginners kit for handling feathers.

"Thanks." You say as Sage, evidently feeling that you've done enough, jumps up and goes and sits by the fire, the picture of contentment.

In fairness, you have tidied her up quite well, if not quite as thoroughly as Holly has Checkers.

You hold up a finger, then go and grab the container of poke treats and shake a few out for Rufflet.

He tilts his head, regarding them and you before hopping over and starting on eating as you start brushing the dirt out from his feathers along with some tiny mites you see on his feathers, frowning as you try and get them all.

They must be unbearably itchy.

Looking in the basics kit, you find some powder that, after a quick glance at the label, confirms that it'll kill the mights.

Once you're done brushing Rufflet down, you cover him in the powder. He shakes and squawks, but afterward, he definitely seems to be relieved as he flutters back up to his perch and settles in.

"Right, that's not a bad idea." Holly admits. "Can I have that powder?" She asks.

You hand it over and watch as she treats Swablu as you move on to Rusty and start polishing his carapace, much to his evident delight.

You briefly wonder what sort of mites he might have to deal with then quickly move on to other subjects, because the thought of tiny little insects capable of chewing through his metallic hide is absolutely terrifying.

You just hope it's your imagination.

Nope, you've got to know now.

A quick search in your pokedex later reveals that yes, Aron actually do get infested with little metal-eating parasites and the infestations can get pretty severe.

The entry also notes that the Aron line tend to combat this by wallowing in dust or mud and that they've been known to let bird pokemon to peck at them to get at the mites.

Aside from those pests, the only real issue that Aron have is with iron deficiency leading to a weak and brittle carapace leaving them vulnerable to predators that would otherwise steer clear of them.

There's also a footnote that this latter malady is a common problem among Aron in the hands of inexperienced trainers who aren't as informed about their charges' diets as they should be.

You make a mental note to see if you can't get Aron some scrap iron or something in Silveridge then refocus on polishing him, pausing after you're done to give the stew a stir before moving onto the rest of your team.

You chat a little with Holly while you work and learn that aside from Checkers, she doesn't actually know that much about pokemon.

Which, if that dream-version of her father is any indication, is further evidence he's a shitbag, in your view.

It's not long before you've finished grooming everyone, barring Latias, who for the sake of yours and everyone elses space, you decide to let be for the time being.

You even give the egg a polish before putting the incubator back in your tent for the time being.

You're no expert, but you think there's a good chance it should hatch within the next day or so, with how it moved under your hands.

The sun's setting in earnest now and the rain's coming down again.

Martha and Judy are hanging up electric lamps so you've got some proper light and everyone's just waiting for the stew to cook at this stage.

"So when's dinner?" Martha asks.

There's some discussion at this, before the consensus comes back in the affirmative.

"Alright, let's gather on 'round." Kathryn says, clapping her hands once as everyone pulls up a seat by the fire. "Alex, you can go first, since you started this." She adds.

"Gareth." You say after a moment's thought.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Uh... truth?" He asks cautiously.

You have to think for a second now, but it's no real surprise he went with truth, all things considered.

"Have your aura abilities ever landed you in any trouble?" You ask eventually.

"...Yes." Gareth says after a moment, very cautiously.

To his immediate right, Jean blushes, though that might just be the fire. It's nice and hot now.

"Care to elaborate?" Martha asks, grinning. "Can't just leave things there." She notes.

"I... er... gave someone the wrong impression." He says awkwardly. "This was years ago, mind. I was young and didn't know any better." He adds hastily.

He looks distinctly uncomfortable.

"Alright. Fair enough." You say, nodding. "Your turn." You say, indicating to him.

"Alex. Truth or-"

"Nope. No back and forth." Martha says, holding up a hand.

"Alright, then... Judy." He says after a moment. "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." Judy says, with no hesitation.

"Um... I dare you to..." He stops, clearly thinking.

"Take your time." Judy says.

"I dare you to do twenty push-ups in the rain." Gareth says at last, looking like he's had a stroke of inspiration.

"Aw. Alright." Judy sighs, before going out into the rain, assuming the position and, to her credit, doing just that, even though she has to stop and give her arms a break twice in the process, before brushing herself off and coming to sit down again, dripping wet and flushed with exertion. "Okay. Holly." She says.

"Y-yes?" Holly squeaks.

"Truth or Dare~" Judy sing songs.

"Um... D-dare." Holly says.

You wince in sympathy. She's going to be doing a lot of dares tonight, you don't doubt.

"I dare you... to kiss one of the boys." Judy says impishly.

Holly blanches.

"Wait, what-?" Gareth manages before Holly gets a determined look in her eyes, rounds the fire and kisses you full on the mouth.

Judy that wasn't nice of you teasing Holly like that.

The moment stretches before Holly steps back, blushing furiously.

"Okay, that was pretty brave of you." You admit, before turning to Judy. "That wasn't very nice." You note as Holly looks away, still blushing and resumes her prior seat.

"Oh yeah?" Judy asks, grinning. "Watcha gonna do about it?" She asks.

There's no malice in her look, just excitement.

Apparently, she's already having fun.

"You'll see." You reply.

"You'll see." You reply, before attention shifts back to Holly.

"Um... J-Jean." She stammers, blushing again. "Truth or Dare?" She asks in a rush

You have to fight back a scowl. Judy's got Holly's head in the gutter now, it seems.

"Dare." Jean says, without a moment's hesitation.

Holly swallows.

"I dare you... togocommandotomorrow." She says in a rush.

Jean grins.

"How d'you know I haven't been all this time?" She asks, before grinning wider at the look on Holly's face. "And how're you going to check?" She asks.

"I-I'll... ch-check." She manages, looking like she's about to faint.

Jean nods.

"Alright. Now... in the interest of it being way too early for those sorts of dares, Judy, Alex, Truth or Dare?" She asks.

"Dare." You say.

There's not much in the way of truth that would be that interesting anyway.

"One sec..." Jean says, before disappearing into one of the other tents before re-emerging wearing a glove and holding a bright red berry with squat spikes you recognise as a Tamato Berry.

Oh boy.

"I dare you to take a bite out of this." She says.

>Uh-uh.
>Take a bite.
>Eat the whole thing.
>Other

Also, stuff to include for dares and truth questions would be great. And quite probably going to be more interesting than what I can come up with by myself.

>>5202218

"That all you *-URK-* got?!?!"

Dare
*Produce Old Amber from backpack* I dare you to lick this!

>Judy, Truth or Dare?
Dare to kiss one of the girls. That'll teach her
Truth : why did you put Holly and I in such a spot earlier? To check my reactions?

You take the Tamato Berry and bite into it before Jean can say anything.

She stares as your mouth turns into an apocalyptic inferno of-

Arceus above, why did you do this? Hot damn, that's spicy.

All told, you manage to keep it together as your eyes tear up, you start to visibly sweat and turn as red as the berry you're holding as you chew.

"Damn. These do have a kick to them." You note, blinking away tears before cutting up the rest and adding it to the stew before washing your hands.

"Well. That's going to warm us up." Fie says while Jean continues to stare at you.

She clearly was expecting you to have a much more intense reaction to trying to eat a berry that's ninety percent capsaicin.

"Right then, my turn again." You say, clapping your hand.

You kind of wish you hadn't just did what you did, since you could've dared Judy to eat one, but it is pretty nippy, so everyone's probably going to appreciate the warming effect when the stew's properly cooked.
