[Well, Unova, you're getting treated to a rather interesting sight today. The feed starts off merely showing Lostlorn Forest. Nothing too terribly interesting about that. The only thing of note is a Pokémon noise that sounds suspiciously like laughter as the camera bobs up and down a few times.

The feed stays that way for a few minutes before a new noise can be heard—yelling. It's getting progressively louder and louder and soon enough, one can make out a multitude of loud, angry squawks not far behind.

… And this is where, out of the bushes, a purple-haired boy bursts through, apparently the source of the yelling. The Shroomish in the kid's arms looks pretty displeased. The boy seems to note the Pokémon and Xtransceiver before grabbing at the Xtransceiver and fumbling with it. The last thing seen before the feed shuts off is a flock of angry Murkrows flying from the direction the boy came from, before being cut off by a stream of flame and a startled shout from the boy.

Eventually, the feed turns back on and the boy has plopped down in the middle of the road on Route 16. The Shroomish is on his lap and he now has a Houndour nudging at his face. He doesn't seem to realize the Xtransceiver is on again, bobbing up and down in the air like it had been previously.]

[ Hazel is resting with Cloud half in her lap and her new Arcanine friend is sitting next to her carefully trying to nudge his face in front of her to have a look at the Xtransceiver without pushing or squishing her. ]

I know people use Pokémon to fly to cities or cross water and I know some people use them to pull caravans but, I haven't seen anyone just ride them on land. It's not taboo or something is it?

I'm... not really adjusting well to traveling on foot so I thought maybe...

[ She trails off, not sure what else to add. The huge fluffy Pokémon trying to be nosy is relevant to current topic as he's more than big enough for her to ride if she decides to try it. Since she's taking a very long time to save enough money for her own caravan there's a good chance of that. ]

[ Aside from the light from a small campfire it's pretty dark. Hazel is staring at the feed. It is clearly not in her possession at the moment since both her hands are in plain view and she is nervously clutching them together. Judging by the view it is being held by something bigger than her. None of her Pokémon can be seen meaning that, for once, they are all in their Poké balls. ]

Um... I n-need that... um... Please?

[ She twitches one hand marginally closer to the device but, changes her mind and takes a nervous step back instead... Unfortunately a moment later the thing is very close, very quickly as she is apparently pounced by the Pokémon holding it. ]

Eek!

[ And nothing more is seen as the Xtransceiver is dropped and Hazel is no longer in view. ]

Aaaaah!

AAAAAaaaahh!

[ Why is Hazel screaming? Well, the flaming Pokémon that runs through when she dives out of the way is a good hint. She coughs when she inhales a lungful of smoke from the burning grass. It's a Ponyta... and it's blue. When it turns back for another run Hazel throws out the first Poké ball she gets her hand on. It's Cid and he's kind of on his own as far as deciding what attacks to use. Hazel is still choking on the smoke and can't really talk right now.

He tries a Slam attack which misses and gets stomped(a critical hit) for his trouble. That isn't the end though and he gets up and retaliates with a Quick attack. The attack doesn't do much to the Ponyta though and it responds with a Flame Wheel.

Cid seems about on his last legs. Hazel is about ready to switch him out when he makes a determined face. She hesitates.

Cid tries another Slam which connects this time. The Ponyta is knocked off balance but, nowhere near out of fight yet. Cid acts again before it can recover its feet. He takes deep breath and uses Ice Beam for the first time since Hazel started trying to teach him. He manages to freeze the Ponyta and Hazel, after a few seconds of gawking, decides to throw a Poké ball before it thaws out. A few tense seconds of the poké ball shaking and it clicks. Yay. Ponyta is caught.

Hazel coughs a bit more, stumbles over and gives Cid a hug. After a bit she remembers she turned the X-transceiver on.

...So, I was going to see if anyone was close enough to help. [ She croaks. ] Guess I don't need to now. [ She gives a sheepish smile and turns off the feed. ]

[ It's another training session. This time Sephiroth is recording it to watch later to better adjust his methods. And broadcasting because he can. A curious Emolga is watching as well... and it apparently thinks the training looks like fun because it tries to join in.

Of course this results in Sephiroth stopping the training for the moment. Except the Emolga doesn't really get the hint. It kinda catches Sephiroth unprepared but, instead of really hitting him it just clings to the front of his coat.

Not that he understands it but, the happy little noise it makes at getting to him without being blocked translates to 'Got you~'. Sephiroth is not particularly amused.
]

Well, aren't you fast.

[ He carefully pries the cute thing off and sets it down on the ground. ]

Stay out of the way. This isn't a game.

[ He turns to walk away. Perhaps to find an area with less curious critters. He doesn't make it more than a few steps before the Emolga leaps to cling to the end of his hair. 'Don't go!'

He reaches back and pulls his hair up so that the Pokémon is hanging in front of his face.
]

You are pushing your luck.

[ ...And it's giving him cute begging eyes. He pulls it out of his hair, drops it on the ground and turns to walk away again. It follows, of course. Yeah, it's going to eventually manage to make him take it with him whether he likes it or not. ]

Sephiroth has chosen Route 16 for his training. It is very early in the morning and the sun has not come up yet.

Along with the ever present Masamune he is carrying a normal sized practice sword.

He picks an open area without any camping trainers nearby to stop. His supplies and the Masamune are set aside and he goes through several katas with the practice sword.

Apparently satisfied with the weapon he moves on to letting Fair out of his Poké ball.

"I am going to block and dodge. You will try to hit me until you succeed or I tell you to stop," he commanded.

The Absol hesitated.

"I can take the hit," Sephiroth assured. Not that he actually expected to be hit.

The Pokémon tentatively complied... and stopped being so tentative a few minutes later when it had yet to get a hit. It was quite winded when Sephiroth called for it to stop a half an hour later. Even weakened the activity didn't strain the man much if at all.

"We'll rest for a while and then you can try again," Sephiroth said simply.

[[ OOC: The cycle of rest and sparring will probably last for several hours. Anyone in the area can interrupt either if you want. ]]
