Kara did her best to settle down, even going so far as to reach up and wipe away the small tears from her face with the back of her hand. She just couldn't help it. If something happened to these kids because she was trying to earn a bit of money even though she had no experience, then she wouldn't forgive herself.

At the offer of... Eos? the girl even smiled a bit. The little Pokémon looked a lot like her Rair, but Kara hadn't even considered using any of her friends to help. Which, in hindsight, was pretty stupid. They helped her so much with other things and Rair probably could have teleported the child to the ground with ease.

"Thanks a lot. I didn't... I should have thought of something like that." Grinning sheepishly, the teen was mostly just grateful everything was turning out alright and in short order Eos had delivered the little girl to the ground. "Stay on the playground, please," she pleaded with the girl who only stuck out her tongue and ran to join her brothers.

They were a bit further down the road when Kara spotted the grimmsnarl. She had just enough time to grab Gubli and duck behind a small mound. Slipping into the little ditch that had formed, she held the little one close as the pair waited patiently for the big guy to wander off.

In the meantime, the girl whispered soft words and made funny faces, hoping to distract her little dragon friend from the potential danger. She had been told one day he would grow up and be really powerful, but for now all she could imagine was him getting hurt. She had promised she wasn't going to let that happen, that she would protect him.

She fully intended to keep that promise.

Bouncing up to meet Navy, Kara grinned when she saw him.

"Well, you look like you're in a good mood," she declared happily. Her own outlook wasn't much worse. Sure, she had ran off and slept the night in the woods, but Green had helped her make a little bed of leaves, and Arua's warm fur kept her pretty cozy. A little fire from Red would have been nice, but she didn't want to give her position away after they had made such a good getaway.

Red and Blue helped in the morning, with the charmander helping her dry off after froakie provided a quick shower. It didn't get rid of all the soot and dirt that came with living in the forest for a day, but she was mostly presentable and at least didn't smell terrible. When she had a chance, she had even decided on what to do with her money. A small backpack, some clothes, and toiletries would be just what the adventurer ordered.

She hadn't been left alone long to ponder the problem, but by the time Opal arrived to offer help, Kara's eyes already had tears falling down.

Maybe the little boy had a point...

"I don't... I don't know how to get her down," the girl admitted as she constantly swiveled her gaze between the child in the tree, the two on the playground, and now the newcomer and her Pokémon. "And even... even if I do, I'm apparently really bad at this. I didn't even see her climb up there!"

She would have sworn she didn't look away that long, but somehow the girl was so high up that there was no way it took less than a minute.

"So ah... yes. Help would be great. Any ideas?"

It all sounded like quite a bit and it certainly was going to take some time. Kara frowned softly before leaning down to whisper something to Red. He gave a playful little roar before jumping into her arms.

"That sounds good," she agreed before jumping back a step. "Just one change. Red, do the thing?" She grinned as the charmander took in a deep breath. "How about I meet you here in the morning and you can show me where all that is?" She gave him a wink right before Red opened his mouth and belched out a giant smokescreen. In almost an instant her position was covered. By the time the wind would remove it, she was a decent distance away, her hand clutching the charmander's Pokéball. He was cute, but not exactly a quick runner.

Waving at him, she darted into the trees they had just come from. Only now, she was covered in soot and didn't have Red's light to give her away. Finding her would be something close to a miracle.

Kara's eyes crossed a bit as the man listed out what her Pokémon friends were and what they would become. Pretty quickly she figured out he had gotten them mixed up with the names. Admittedly probably her fault. She hadn't actually introduced them.

"So Rair is... a ralts? And Gubli is... a gible. That means Green is a rowlet..." That one was easy. At least it matched up. "And Arua is a riolu? Well, they all sound pretty amazing." She couldn't help but smile proudly. She knew her friends were special and it was nice to know other people would too. Especially Gubli which sounded particularly impressive.

She would make sure it didn't go to her little friend's head.

As for money? She had to put Red down so it could waddle along beside her, but once her hands were free she dug into a pocket on her shorts and pulled out some paper. "I think... 50?" She had found it earlier when she looked for some sort of identification, but had no idea what sort of stuff she should buy with it.

Fast Times at Mauville Gym

Entering the gym was easy. Honestly, it was hard to be too nervous when you didn't really know what you were doing. Checking in at the front desk went smoothly, though she frowned a bit when the man spoke about speed and responsibility. Kara was less than certain that the comment meant anything.

With a shrug, she did her best to follow the signs and soon found herself in the arena. Which is about when her nerves actually kicked in. Taking several deep breaths, she listened to the man and moved to where she was supposed to stand. As she got into place, her fingers ran along the Pokéballs on her waist. With a tap of each one, they fell to the floor and opened.

In a flash, her friends stood by her side and she smiled.

Now she was back to being calm.

"First is easy," Kara said cheerfully, not seeming phased by the flame belching dragon before her. "Blue!" She gave a small stamp of her foot before nodding to the froakie. Eagerly it jumped forward, ready to take on the monstrosity without a second thought.

Frowning softly, the young trainer offered only a small nod of understanding. Still, she clung a bit tighter to the charmander in her arms. "Guess... it just means I need to hold them as much as I can now," she said out loud and yet to herself.

After several moments of silence, where just their feet crunched against the grass and leaves beneath them, the girl finally spoke up once more.

"I think... I think you've got a good heart, too. I mean, I can't imagine dealing with..." She let her words trail off but just made a motion with her head as if trying to say 'all of this'. "And you don't like owe me anything or whatever, but still... you're helping. I think that means you're a good person." Kara couldn't help but smile at that. She was certain it was true, but something about the man told her he probably didn't get told that very often.

"Anyways... so what are Green, Rair, Gubli, and Arua?"

At first it wasn't Pokémon that Kara spotted, but a weird flurries of dust in the distance that seemed to be getting closer. If this was something normal, she had no recollection of what it might be, so she gave a sharp whistle. At once, Rair teleported into her arms and she ran off of the road. If it was a Pokémon, she was ready to duck down and hide. Better than having to fight it. If it was something else...

Pokémon won the draw, and the girl squeaked, getting ready to run behind some trees nearby. Before she got the chance though, she heard a soft, amused warble from Rair and felt her nerves settling down. Looking at the little psychic, she tried to figure out what happened only to see the little girl point one of her arms at the swiftly approaching beasts.

"Oh," she said in a bit of a shock as she spotted a man riding one and... saddles on the rest?

She had seen some bizarre things, but this definitely was high on the list.

When most slowed, one of the big feline Pokéemon ran up to her, its nose crinkling as it sniffed the pair and brought a small laugh from Kara.

"Well hi there, pretty kitty. Your name's... Nala? That's such a lovely name."

Kara offered the frog Pokémon a bow in return before turning to his trainer with a frown.

"Blue's a girl." Probably. She didn't actually know how to check, but like knowing Blue's name was Blue, she knew Blue was a girl. "I think. I know... they get bigger. I'm not sure if I want them to. What if... they grow up and don't want to be my friends anymore?" She leaned down to scoop Red into her arms, being careful now with his tail.

That was definitely knowledge that was going to haunt her for a bit.

Nuzzling her cheek against Red's own, she turned back to continue the walk through the dark forest. "Also, if they're bigger, I won't be able to hold them, and they like that. Wouldn't that make them sad?" A day without memories, but the whole day as she swapped them in and out of their Poké balls, they had helped her and she had helped them. It was dumb, she knew, but she didn't want that to change.

Rocket.
League.

Kara didn't really get either of them, but if they hurt people, it seemed bad. Worse, if it was just some binary decision between people that hurt people and people that hurt people but less, then why wasn't there a third option? One that wanted to help people instead of hurt them.

She understood enough to know that even without saying it out loud, the idea sounded childish but...

Maybe childish wasn't so bad.

"I don't really know anything about legendary Pokémon. They sound... important? Honestly, I don't even know that much about my friends. I know Red can make fire, and Blue does water... things like that, but I don't really know what they are. Just their names and that they're my friends. That we're a... team."

The corners of the girl's lips turned up as she smiled at the word. She liked that. Liked being a team with them.

The young woman frowned as they walked and she listened to the man explain the troubles of the world. Or at least the region. She would glance over him as his words filled the air, and all she could think of was how that didn't sound like it was real.

She didn't think he was a liar or anything. No, he was clearly hurt by what he was describing, so it wasn't that. But to go to such lengths to hurt people and for what?

"I'm sorry," Kara stated plainly, though her tone was sincere. She didn't really know much. Arguably she didn't know anything of value except that her friends were here friends. Except right now, she knew one other thing. "One of those good people was... yours, yes? That.. that's not fair. I'm sorry."

Even imagining something happening to one of her friends was almost enough to bring a tear to her eyes. She couldn't imagine actually having to go through losing them.

It was the scream that first caught Kara's attention, and she jumped to her fee. A quick snap of her fingers, and the little Riolu was at her side. Both seemed ready to fight or flee, but neither moved once that saw the strange... parade? of Pokémon before them. Taking a step back, the girl found her rear pressed against the tree behind her which only seemed to concern her.

There was definitely too many to fight, so her best bet was hoping to go unnoticed until she had a chance to run.

Then came the voice before, only this time not screaming. Blinking for a moment as the woman jumped off the back of one of the Pokémon, Kara could only stare, her mouth slightly open. She didn't even seem to entirely process what had just been asked of her.
