((For Blast))
The local professor, Professor Snake, had contacted Blast's parents and convinced them that Blast was ready to start his Pokemon adventure. He just happened to have a few extra Pokemon laying around and since Flossy Town's trainers start at a younger age, his parents agreed.
They sent him off to the Professor's grandiose house, where a butler greeted him and showed him inside. There were giant test tubes in the main laboratory and Professor Snake was talking to a younger lady, when Blast entered. Professor Snake turned his attention to the lad, "Ah, my boy! Welcome to my humble lab. I hear you're getting your Pokemon today. How exciting."
Professor Snake was a middle aged man, tall and lean. He wore a coffee stained lab coat, black slacks, and polished grey shoes. His hair was swept off to the side of his face and he had a scar down the same side.

((For Nicole))
With the recent operations being sent across the sea, more and more operators were needed. Having stayed low in Flossy Town for some time, Nicole was finally contacted by the Snake. He called her to his office, which also acted as his laboratory.
The man's butler ushered her in when she stopped by. Professor Snake was studying his logs, flipping the pages over. Looking up, he motioned for Nicole to approach with a beckoning hand, "Glad you found the place." His house was the largest in town, so it wasn't very difficult to do so.
The Professor closed his books and leaned on the table, "There's been an incident. Some of our experimentations have escaped the facility. They're premature and the boss doesn't want anyone to find out about them just yet. So how would you like to go on a Pokemon journey?" The Snake smiles, but then a youngster walks into his lab. He hands Nicole a Pokedex with the coordinates of suspected areas and then welcomes the youngster (Blast).

“I’d love to!” Nicole beamed, her usual cheerful personality bubbling to the surface.
Finally! She’d gotten bored to tears laying low in Flossy Town. She snatched up the Pokédex and dumped it into her black leather purse. It wasn’t uncommon for an all hands on deck call for operatives this far out. She had to wonder though why her Kalos mission was put on hold to send on a simple find and fetch. Unless this was a Mewtwo level event!?
Nicole stilled her rising excitement and went into professional mode. “What am I after and how dangerous are they?” Before her question could be answered she glanced back at the new arrival.

Titania would arrive at the island after a fairly pleasant voyage on Beritto's ship. She had spent the time on the journey training her pokemon and letting them enjoy the fresh air. Once the ship hit the docks however, she would recall all of her pokemon except for Oberon of course.
Speaking of the Sylveon, he had his front paws over the railing, taking an excited look at Flossy Town. However the second Titania called his name, he would bound over to her happily before wrapping one of his feelers around her wrist as they disembarked. "Thank you for bringing us here Beritto, I'm extremely grateful." Titania would tell him before turning to look back at Flossy Town.
After looking at the new town for a moment, she would turn her attention to Chris. "Mind if we stop at the Pokemart first? I'd like to get this voucher redeemed and stock up on pokeballs. I'm nearly out and I want to be well stocked should I find something I want to catch."
((If it would be possible to keep Rufflet a decent distance from Kitty, then she will try to train him too. If not, she will keep him in his pokeball. Also she will apply Focused Training to her pokemon.))

Chris and Kitty were relaxing and fishing for a few hours, so there was a possibility to have the Rufflet out. However, just as Titania was attempting to train it, the Rufflet started to act out in aggressive motions, trying to peck and scrape its talons into Titania's other Pokemon. It was a very short exercise if Titania didn't want to endanger her other Pokemon.

Beritto laughed, hand upon his wobbling belly as he spoke, "Don't worry about it! Always glad to lend a helping hand!" He laughs some more, before soaking up some sweat from his face with his handkerchief, "If you need more of my help, I'll be staying at the Rockfell Inn in town." He wobbled off, likely going to stop by the restaurants in town to eat.
Chris was breathing in the sea scents, letting the waves roll into her sandals. Kitty was scratching his back against a seashell. Chris glanced over to Titania as she approached, "Hmm? Oh sure. I could use a pokeball or two." As they were walking towards the Pokemart, Titania's Pokedex updated, showing a deposit from her family, and a note that detailed how much they missed her already.
Once at the store, which was spotless, Chris purchased what she needed, browsing the shelves for quite some time.

Professor Snake dealt with the newcomer and eventually they left to blissfully be unaware of this situation. Professor Snake waved to the young lad, but became colder once the lab door shut, "There's this substance that has granted us an opportunity to create very powerful Pokemon."
Glancing towards Nicole, "For simplicity's sake, we'll call it Shadow Stone. It creates an amplified source of power within a Pokemon, changing its typing completely." Walking towards one of the empty test tubes, Snake stares at it, then turns to look over his shoulder, "Its as if we've discovered the blueprints of a super weapon."
He reaches up and pulls his glasses down onto his nose, adjusting them, "Military powers, foreign governments, and even police forces would bleed yen for these Pokemon. But we can't become rich if we can't prove that these Pokemon can be controlled. And we can't learn how to control them, if they're not here." Nodding to himself, "So we need some innocent trainers to go out and find out where it is and drop it off at our research center at Mt. Blackcloud."
Turning to look at the test tube again, "If you find any other traces of Shadow Stone, alert our clean-up crews so we can secure it." The Pokedex showed the last spot where the specimen was sighted, with a small report of some Rocket Grunts securing it. But a trainer had come along and set it free. Whalerdrake was the last location known.

Titania would smile when Chris agreed to go shopping with her and the two of them promptly started looking for a pokemart. On the way, Titania's pokedex would update with a deposit and a note from her grandfather saying how much he missed her. It was a nice surprise, though a tad bittersweet. She still felt a bit guilty for leaving him, but he had insisted that she had put her plans on hold long enough.
Soon they would arrive at the pokemart and once there, Titania would go straight to the pokeball selection. She would select seven great balls and while purchasing them, would make sure to use the voucher that nurse Joy had given her.
Afterwards she would head to a different shop where she would buy herself a sleeping bag. As she shopped, Oberon would be a perfect gentleman, being silent and careful of the shelves. Once Titania had finished, she would locate Chris and ask. "Ready to look for the laboratory?"

Chris was sitting on a bench, as she didn't have a lot of money to spend on items, outside the Pokemart. Pushing off of it, she gave a thumbs up, "Oh yeah, we're ready." Chris motioned for Kitty to follow her. While walking out of the town, there were several people cheerfully having conversations, sweeping the street, and watching children play baseball with real bats and uniforms.
To the West, the road narrowed as the sides were occupied by picnic areas. Park Way, where neatly trimmed trees and bushes were along the sides as natural decorations. Bicyclists were bustling about, waving and laughing between each other. Feeders were out to attract wild Pokemon, but currently there weren't any.
Chris eyed the treeline, "Hmm, if we cut through there, I think we can get there quick." Or become completely lost. Chris smiled at Titania, "Let's go! I hope you brought some camping equipment." Chris tightens the strap of her tattered backpack and waits for a group of cyclists to pass, before stepping off of the paved road and into the woods.

“Whalerdrake hmmmm?”
Nicole took the device and studied the information on the screen. She felt a small twinge of anger bubbling up. Some trainer came along and just blew right through a bunch of grunts. It bothered her. Grunts these days were too damn weak, they made a bad name for the Team in general. It was a blazen insult to the good operatives.
She put the Pokédex in her purse. “I’ll send you a report the second I have a lead.” She turned to walk toward the door. “Oh and Professor? You see those grunts that lost the Shadow Stone? Let them know the boss will here about their failure.” She smiled brightly and waved. “Toodles!”

Titania and Oberon would follow close behind Chris as they left the shops. As they walked, a few people would give Oberon a second look due to his highly unusual coloration, though luckily no one would actually approach them. During the few last years, a couple of people had attempted to buy him off her, but she had always flatly turned them down.
Eventually when they hit Park Way, Chris would suggest taking a shortcut through the treeline. At this Titania would reply with. "Sure, maybe we will even encounter some interesting pokemon along the way. Though as for camping gear, I only have a sleeping bag as I couldn't afford a two person tent. I could have gotten a single person tent, but it would be pretty crummy to sleep in that while you had to sleep outside. So we will both just have to rough it outside I guess. Maybe later we can afford some tents if we win a battle or two."
((Modified my previous post to include the purchase of a sleeping bag instead of the knife.))

Professor Snake returned to his desk, checking his reports again, "As far as I know, they haven't left the area. They're trapped over there unless they find that stone, so you may do with them as you please, should you encounter them." Brushing his hand in the air and dismissing Nicole, Snake returned to his studies.
A message pings on Nicole's Pokedex of a vessel being sent from Whalerdrake to pick her up. It would take an hour or two, so she could spend that time as she pleased. Two other trainers had left to the west of the town, towards Park Lane. They were clearly not locals, as Nicole would know them by sight, and one of them had a particularly colored Sylveon.
Whalerdrake was a poor place, so their shop was poorly stocked. But Flossy Town had items in abundance in its stores. There's always the option of spending some time training her Pokemon.

Hour 2/8
Chris laughed a little, "You don't have to worry about me! I find all the good places to sleep. As for Pokemon.." She pushes a bush with her leg and steps past it, lifting branches so she could pass under them, "We can probably spend some time in the woods and find a few."
As the two trainers meandered through the woods, they came upon one of the Pokefeeders. These cricket-like Pokemon were fighting over it, the two Kricketunes trying to cut at one another, while a pink Pokemon with a large white nose watched the two. Chris hunched down in the tall grass, glancing between the wild Pokemon, "What...even are they?"
The Spritzee turned its attention to the trainers and let out a peeping sound. The Kricketunes stopped fighting, angrily turning towards Chris and Titania.

Titania would laugh at Chris's claim that she found all the good places to sleep. In fact even Oberon looked rather amused by this as well as he laughed a little too. After she finished laughing, she would reply with. "Well be sure to share those spots with me then. Anyway the woods would probably be a good place to look for new pokemon and we will have to spend some time walking through it anyway."
Not long after they would end up encountering two Kricketunes and a Spritzee. Now while the obviously bug type pokemon held no interest to her, she was curious about the pink one. She just had to try to remember what pokemon it was and hopefully it would have a useful typing for her.
However it seemed that the two Kricketunes had noticed them and didn't see happy about it. At this Titania would attempt to use the skills she obtained while working at the Nirvana Reserve to calm them. Getting down on her knees to look less intimidating, she would start to speak to them in a calm soothing voice. "It's ok, you two, I'm not going to hurt you.We are just traveling through the forest."

Chris was fine with meandering through the woods and perhaps they could even camp in it. But she was currently squaring off with the two bug Pokemon, Kitty in front of her. But the Kricketunes eyed Titania, making clicking noises. They slowly lowered their pincers, turning their heads, seeming to be content in watching the trainers. Eventually, they parted to the sides.
Chris looked between the two, then towards Titania, "How, how did you do that? That was amazing!" She smiled, then scratched Kitty's back, as he hiked up his rump into the touch. Kitty relaxed as well.
The Spritzee was a Fairy type and looked fairly young. Chris plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and put it to her lips, "Hey, watch this." She blew a tune through it, a soft lullaby, and the Spritzee slowly closed its eyes. It began to slumber in its tree.

*a young girl walks through the woods scared,she holds her pokemon,litten close* i hope there is a pokemon center close by
Chris shifted her attention to the young traveler that breached the forest line. The Kricketunes also noticed, but gave the humans room, stepping back. Chris took a few steps towards the young girl, kneeling down and checking over the Litten, "Hey there...are you lost? Is your Pokemon hurt?"
yes....he is sick.... *she says sadly* and i dont have any medacine on me
Titania was glad that the two Kricketunes recognized that she was no threat and would say to them. "Thank you very much, I really appreciate it you too." Oberon would in turn bow to the two bug types in a display of his own gratitude.
Then at Chris's question, she would answer with. "I grew up on a pokemon reserve and have been around pokemon since before I could even walk. As a result I know a thing or two about pokemon."
Shortly afterwards a teenage girl would show up holding a sick looking Litten. At this Chris would approach her to inquire what was wrong. Now while Titania felt bad for the girl's Litten, she had her own pokemon that she needed to find treatment for, thus she would call out to Chris with. "Why don't you guide her back to the pokemon center and we can meet up at the Lab later. I need to take care of my pokemon too after all."
