ic: Jen used the antidote, and Blaze was feeling better."Thanks. There were just two. I've already beat one of them." she told Michiko. "Since one of them doesn't have any usable pokemon, we'd only have to fight one person. I saw only two enter the forest."she told them. Her Houndor, Inferno, stepped out. "And for another thing, what I own happens to be none of your buissness." she added. It wasn't her fault she didn't happen to be one of those people who's always prepared. Plus, she also wasn't the type who had alot of money. But Michiko was right. She did need to be better prepared. "I think we might wanna hide though. Just because there's one doesn't mean that they can't get reinforcments."
"It is when we have to give up our own supplies to heal your Pokémon because you couldn't be bothered," Michiko snapped, although there wasn't much bite behind her words. She was considering the odds. The grunts couldn't be any good if Jen could beat one of them....
"Yes," she found herself agreeing despite the chances of success. "It's better to hide. We don't know if they've already called for reinforcements, and it's better to keep our presence unknown, although thanks to you"--she gave Jen a disapproving look--"they already know there's already one person against them here--they don't need to know any more than they already do." She glanced at the others, silent throughout the entire affair. "Agreed?" She was hoping the more confrontational of the group would see the logic. They simply couldn't afford to botch up and get themselves caught, and despite how stubborn (she hoped) they could be, there was no way of telling what kind of interrogation techniques the Team had.
"Alright, I suggest we hide upwards. Considering hiding in a bush or something would just be...odd. plus, that's kinda obviouse. Up we go."Jen said. She started climbing a tall tree, and it had plenty of foliage to hide them. "Come on, we have enough time to hide-Houndor, return>"Jen said. Houndor dissapeared into his pokeball in a flash of red light. "Hurry!" she climbed up to a well sheltered part of the tree. She looked down. The grunst had stopped for a few minutes. One of them had tripped. He was the one she had beaten. The others had time to climb up and hide with her. Otherwise, they'd be stuck trying to find another hiding spot-and there weren't many others.

IC: "Good eye," Kori said, heading towards the building. Indeed, it was a Pokémon Center -- more damaged and run down than what was considered the norm, but it was still operational, as evidenced by other trainers that were heading in and out. the Gaent stopped for a moment at the door, peering inside. He opened the door, holding it for Alieen, and then followed her in.
The inside of the center was slightly more cheerful than the city, despite its exterior appearance. The walls were a beige-like color, and the floors a grayish-blue. There were several couches, presumbably where trainers conversed and waited for tehir Pokémon to be healed. Nurse Joy was busy at the counter, passing trays of Pokéballs over to a Chansey, who ran them through a machine before sliding them back to their owner. The nurse didn't seem to notice their arrival, or if she did, she didn't react to them. Kori headed towards her, followed by Alieen. He grabbed a tray, placing his three Pokéballs on it -- he figured that, if he was going to get a couple of rooms, he might as well get his Pokémon healed as well.
"Welcome," Nurse Joy said once it was their turn; she sounded slightly annoyed. "How can I help you?" "Hi," Kori answered politely. "Well, I was hoping you'd be able to heal my Pokémon, for one. We were also looking to book a couple of rooms, if there are any free ones." Nurse Joy stared inquisitively at them as she passed the tray along to Chansey. Then, noticing their Pokétchs, she smiled, realizing who they were with. "We have some vacancies... Here." She pulled a couple of keys from a drawer, handing them to Kori and Alieen. "First night's free." "Thank you," Kori smiled back, giving a short, two-fingerd salute. He opened his Pokétch as they headed upstairs, sending a quick message to the rest of the group to tell them the location where they would be staying.
While hiding up in the tree, Jen felt her poketech vibrate. She quickly opened it and saw the message. She sent one back,saying,"Okay. Hope ou dont run int any trouble there. Seeya."and closed it. The Rocket Grunts were nearing. Fortunatly, she was well hiden in the tree. he companions still hadn't climbed up. She watched the rocket grunts, knowing tht they would be a tad bit stupid because they were so bound on finding them. She picked up a rock she had had in her pocket-don't know why she would put one in her pocket, but yay her-and threw it at a tree oposit the direction they wee headed. "Hey, I heard something over there!"one of them said. They raced off in that direction, and her assumption had been correct. When young grunts like those two looked for something, they were dumb enough to fall for a rediculously stupid trick like that. She gestured to the others in case the Grunts came back.
OOC: Um... No, Aura; the Poké Center that Kori and Alieen got a room in is in the city -- everyone else is still in the forest, since going in as a big group would have attracted too much attention.
"Thanks!" Alieen hopped up the stairs after Kori and followed him into the room. The room had a window and 2 bunk-beds. "Beds!" She cried out in glee. She raced to the bed and jumped on it. She smiled as she roled on her back. Fudo layed down on her stomach. "So what do want to do now?" She said after a few minutes. She looked up at him through Fudo's fur.

IC: "I think we ought to do a bit of recon around here, since everyone else is doing the same outside of the city," Kori said. "I'm sure we're bound to find something important -- like a Rocket base that needs shutting down, for instance. In the event that we do find one, though, we're going to need to call one of the others -- two trainers aren't going to be able to take down a whole base by themselves. With three, we might have a chance."
