OST: Lofi Beats to Hike in the Morning To
Kanto just after sunrise was a refreshing sight. The sun had yet to climb too far into the sky, so the temperature lended itself more to a spring morning temperature. The air is crisp and chill, stinging the nose but not enough to numb it. The bird Pokemon were chirping and were your ears intune enough to nature, they could hear the greenery itself start to wake up.
The base camp is set at the intersection of Route 5 and Route 8, with portable, collapsible chairs set up around a fire with a pan over it for cooking. Blankets and other comforting items are there folded to await successful hikers no matter what point they return to camp, along with Jun and Varian's welcoming smiles.
Lycaon has provided the following homemade snacks:
-Plantain Chips
-Fruit Leather (Raspberry and White Grape kinds)
-Trail Mix
-Turkey Jerky
-Granola Bars
Jun and Varian will be providing breakfast for when they return in the form of a Crabmeat Hash, with Potatoes, Celery, Onion, Peppers, and Crab Meat topped with Fresh Eggs.
The Horizon is waiting to be caught. Your hike will be a full four hours round trip at a casual pace. Take it slow and relax, enjoy the sights and the Pokemon. You'll be done before the sun gets too high in the sky.
ooc: This will be EXTREMELY backtag friendly! Take it easy. There's no rush this is just for vibes and a cute little bonding activity for them all!

BASE CAMP: CHATTER
It all happens here!]
LYCAON; before setting out
He seems rather dressed down for the occasion, wearing just a fitted tshirt and jeans. With his fur and cold resistance, the morning chill doesn't bother him, and he has a map of the routes provided by Jun along with certain stop points marked, as well as hazards that had been cleared out prior to the walk.
He may be offering to help you pack your things properly or just up for some chatter before you set out.
Bruno, Lycaon's Luxray, seems to be standing dutifully by his side, calmly watching the camp around them to make sure everyone does not need help preparing. If he sees you struggling with something, the lion may also wander over for assistance. Don't worry: He's very polite and well trained.]
Jun | OTA
[Jun is hanging back at the base camp mostly to be on the safety standby, though also as a POKEGO rep. His usual labcoat is out with this crowd, so he's supporting a more casual field outfit with the POKEGO symbol on his hat, and an embroidered olive branch on his sleeves and jacket.
He'll offer a bag of supply for each hiker containing one empty pokeball, a shiny charm, a map of the route, and a spray bottle of Max Repel. He'll also explain things to any of the group that listening. ]
The route should be pretty straightforward, I did a test run through of it just a day go. If you do get lost or something comes up, contact me through the gemini app or through telepathy if you have it. As the pokemon, treat them like you would wild animals on Earth-- in other words, give then plenty of space.
Oh, and whatever you do, do not eat anything you find in the wild. Stick to the snacks Lycaon provided. If I have to call in my colleague Chanterelle because someone ate a wild mushroom, he will not be nice about it.
B- During the Hike, back at base
[Once the hikers set out, Jun opts to keep himself busy. First he helps his husband with prepping the meal ingredients for lunch, and then once that's through? He's mostly just hanging out at camp- either sketching the wildlife he sees at the camp, or simply meditating in the sun. Feel free to approach him, he's open to conversation]
B
He's glad to have his spouse's help with this, though. Capable as he is, it's pleasant to be able to do some busy work with him. He chopping at the onions on a little camping table- along with a cutting board he managed to wrangle from Meropide's kitchen. He turns to give his partner a smile as they work. ]
Y'know, this recipe of Lycaon's sounds really good. I'm tempted to give it a try for us another day if it goes well. [ He chuckles lightly. ] So- how much do you think Haru and Belle are complaining by now?
no subject
Oh, I'd be open to that! I am pretty fond of crab. [he's certainly not going to turn down more seafood]
Let's see... Belle probably a lot but it's genuine, while Haru is probably making sad noises so Ragna will carry him.

Aria; before the hike(OTA)
Despite being one of the first ones to arrive she keeps looking around the camp while trying to work up the courage to approach someone.]
no subject
For you, Miss Aria. The fruit leather is raspberry as you suggested--I think you'll find it to your taste.
Thank you for accompanying us along. Might I say you are sporting both fashion and function at this outing.
no subject
Th-Thank you Mr. Lycaon, I can’t wait to try these later.
I-it was my pleasure, I like physical activities despite both my jobs being media based. So I actually had a few workout outfits lying around and went with what I thought fit most. But t-thank you for the compliment, I try to put some effort into how my outfits look.

OTA because he's not making it to the hiking part
[ Hugo was not unprepared. The parasol, open and leaning against his shoulder, was specially made to block the sun, just as the large, dark sunglasses covering his eyes were. His clothing covered his arms and legs completely, blocking any chance of burning or sizzling. Every precaution was taken since this little jaunt was supposed to be a group effort. There wasn't a sunscreen formulated strong enough for vampires, but he had done his best even on that front.
Yet, Irene, his Lycanroc, had positioned herself turned inward at his side like she intended to catch him or guard him. Her head was lifted, eyes bouncing from person to pokemon as he took account of everyone present and what the numbers were. Hugo wasn't paying her any mind. He was protected and fine. It didn't matter that he was already starting to feel light-headed, he goes out during the daytime all the time. This wasn't different!
Should you approach the pair, Irene will be the first to greet you with a sniff and a low rolling greeting. ]
B: B is for Bat, Featuring Irene.
[ It's barely ten minutes into the walk and Hugo is no longer standing among what could be considered a group. Going up to Irene will get a greeting and a look to her back. There, an albino-ish bat can be found flat against her fur. See? She knew she'd have to catch him.
Someone she knows is allowed to take the bat from her, otherwise expect to meet resistance. The walk continues even if she has to carry him the rest of the way, but she does doubt that will be necessary. The Large Lycaonroc (Lycaon) was sure to take Hugo from her soon. ]
B
He'd be sure to spoil the man when he got back.
He approaches Irene gently, kneeling down to her level to scritch at her ear.]
Thank you for catching him, Rina. [That nickname still plays on his tongue--its hard for him not to smile at it.] If you do not mind, I will take him from here. You may go walk with Bruno if you so wish.
[His hand gently scoops up Hugo from her fur, pulling him close to his chest gently before pressing his cold nose to the top of the bat's head.]
You did well. I'm sure the Manager appreciates you coming out despite the sun.
[He did, too.]
no subject
{He did not smell as if he was going to last long, so I stayed close knowing you would take care of him.}
[ Once the bat was retrieved, she changed course, going over to Bruno while the little bat in Lycaon's hands merely looked up at him with the most annoyed look a bat's face can possibly make. ]
Don't speak to me like that.
[ His brain was too fried to think of a better insult to go with his comment. The cold nose was welcomed, despite how he'd usually complain about it feeling damp. ]
As long as The Manager feels supported and goes as far as she can, my sacrifice was worth it.

ROUTES 5 > 9
no subject
The same cannot be said for Belle, who is lagging far behind with a backpack and a determined yet slightly agonized expression. Occasionally she has to stop, lean hard against a tree, and catch her breath.]
What if I just get Penelope out here and—no, Lycaon would worry. [She's referring to her Persona, who bears an uncanny resemblance to one of the Marionette Twins.] Urgh... [Give her a moment, she's just. Trying to catch her breath here. She's usually the one in the computer chair, not the one out in the actual Spirit Realm running around.]
no subject
It's time to implement her plan. She'll slow her walking so she's on par with the manager]
Manager, we're going to play a game. Every quarter mile, I'm going to ask a movie trivia question. For every 8 you get right, I will buy you tickets for a movie of your choosing... at the theater with the recliner chairs.
no subject
with the recliner chairs?
Belle suddenly straightens up.]
And the really good corn dogs?

no subject
This has a purpose, he promises.
When he gets to her, he's already reaching into his shoulder bag to pull out a granola bar and some water to offer her.]
You have made considerable progress since your last stop. Trust me, I know how winded it can leave you when you are not used to it.
[If you don't mind, he'll be going behind her to adjust her backpack straps.] When your straps on your pack are loose, the weight you are carrying feels so much heavier. Allow me to adjust them.
[As he does, he sets the twig on the ground, in the middle of the path.]
We can slowly catch up once you have caught your breath.
no subject
[In the back of her head, the engkanto possessing her points out that it's kind of her own fault there. Belle elects, once again, to ignore them.]
I'm so used to running around as Eous, I think I packed Bangboo-sized rations instead.

Are you okay Manager, you look out of breath? Do you need help with anything?
[She has gotten into the hike enough that she is marching in place while asking this.]

Harumasa Asaba | OTA
[Harumasa didn't bring Cassie with him to Kanto, but he did find a solution to that problem after the Dan Heng situation got under control. That solution is an Audino! It can at least defend itself and he won't have to worry about Cassie's safety in comparison. Plus, Audino are supposedly highly sensitive to a person's health, so this is a perfect service Pokemon for him.
Anyway, he's in appropriate hiking gear, though his signature yellow headband and a choker remain. Against all expectations, Harumasa is wide awake this early morning. The young man double-checks his things while Tsubasa the Mimikyu sticks close to his side. His Audino is... rummaging around in a pack?
Without even looking back:]
Sybil, put the smoke bomb back right where you found it.
[There's a whine from the Audino before she reluctantly puts back presumably the smoke bomb in there.]
B: Absol-lutely Devastating
[Okay, so, Harumasa has been doing well!
... Up until halfway through Route 9.
That's when he just casually lies down after they've stopped to rest for a moment. This is unusual for him since normally he's content to just sit under a tree or on a rock if necessary, but this is the first time he just lies down like he's given up on life. Sybil worriedly starts fanning him with her little paws.]
Go on without me...! My poor, frail body can't take anymore punishment....
[Why must he say it like that, though.]
C: Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon!
[After persuading Ragna to carry him back to base camp, it's definitely time for a break even for his highly capable boyfriend. Harumasa takes this opportunity to stretch and look around a little bit. He didn't get a chance to explore this part of the route too much when he went with Jun, so his curiosity gets the best of him. Sybil the Audino, Tsubasa the Mimikyu, and Beebee the shiny Togekiss also take this moment to chill out for a bit.
Two things then happen.
The first is that Harumasa unluckily manages to find a weak spot off the side of the road. He yells in surprise as he finds himself falling into a hole.
Luckily, something catches him!
Unfortunately, that something is an Aerodactyl.
Fortunately, the Aerodactyl seems to like him.
Unfortunately, the Aerodactyl seems to like him.
Harumasa's yell of surprise now takes on a subtle note of fear as the prehistoric Flying/Rock-type flies out of the hole. It... doesn't seem keen to let him down onto solid ground, either. Instead, the Aerodactyl flies up into the skies above.]
HELP?!
b
[Ragna knew Harumasa's health wasn't great so it was less the man being tired he's yelling about and more that he just flopped to the floor like a cat who just had a slice of cheese slapped onto its face.]
Sit up, damn you, you're gonna get dirt in places you didn't know you could like that. [Said sitting next to Harumiettesa over here so Ragna can be the thing to lean on if he's not gonna sit by a tree.]
LIGHTER'S ODYSSEY
THE LORENZODESSEY, ACT 1
Lorenzo "Lighter" Fuentes could have sworn he was following the path with his loved ones and beloved and also that one guy who hates his guts. But he felt a bit of spring in his step and went juuust a little ahead.
However, our Red Scarf wearing hero must have taken a wrong turn somewhere because he turned around and he was way too ahead. Silly mistake of him, he thought, he will take a shortcut to get back to them sooner and apologize.
That shortcut took him along an incorrect path, though, and then he suddenly saw no sign of the group.
And so we begin The Lorenzodessey.]
... Uh, guys?
ROUTE 10
Note: Hugo you cannot go home but you can stay batted up inside a wolf's shirt for a nap.]
ROUTES 8 > 5
This is for anything on the way back.]
EVERYONE'S RETURN / BREAKFAST
