TICKET PUNCHING !! CLICK IMAGE FOR THREAD MUSIC !!
It was a brisk winter day day: perfect for a day at the local fair. The sky was dotted with a few candy-floss clouds. The entrance could be seen in the distance and the long queues edged forward slowly. Customers were becoming increasingly excited and impatient as they took a few steps forward every so often. Faint music could be heard from beyond the tall gates with the occasional happy scream suddenly piercing the air. Closer to the entrance and the massive structures of the rides could be seen: a rollercoaster, a big wheel, a tilt-a-whirl. Below, younger children stood watching, eating their sweets and snacks. Ice creams wobbled perilously over the cones and dripped down their small fingers as they melted; some munched on brightly coloured balls soft sugar strands that dissolved on the tongue - sweeter than sweet and sticking to the teeth better than glue. A few ate too much and complained to their mothers and fathers...
"Alright, kiddo, you're good to go." A vendor speaks to a short and stock boy, garbed in yellow clothes far too big for him. The little one kicked his feet to and fro as he sat on a nearby bench, water bottle in hand- which was one of the only outside foods allowed into the park, having waited to have his bag examined for safety reasons. A Yanma, perched right atop his hat, coos in glee with rapidly flapping wings and an equally speedy tail wag. Cheerie hovers forward, doing a quick flip as Cooper walks forward to pick up his carry-ons. "S-So... Anything else, s--sir?" Cooper stutters as usual, holding his long sleeves to his chest. "Well, I could stamp your hand so we can let you back in if you want to go--"
"No thank you."y-you! I'll-I'll be going, thank you, sir!" Cooper retorted within seconds, taking off past the revolving gates and into the fairgrounds. Cheerie chirped again, soaring after her partner... The boy sighed as he walked into the park, raising his head to glimpse at the grounds Cheerie had whined for hours to see, but-
"GYYRRAAAAAAAA!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"
Cooper scurried back, covering his head with his sleeves and pulling his hat down. Cheerie yelped in shock as well, before turning around curiously. The Yanma flinched, backing away from a mighty Rayquaza that stood in front of them... It took a moment to realize after another roar of the exact same pitch, but it's stiff posture and jagged jawline which moved with a robotic rigidness clearly indicated that this was an animatronic. The Rayquaza held a large sign in it's claws, advertising the most chilling rollercoaster the park had to offer- the Delta Streamer.
Cheerie huddles by the shaking Cooper, pulling on his sleeve. The boy peers out of hiding, looking up to the metallic, fake Rayquaza. "......Oh." He finally realized, pushing himself back to his feet. Cheerie snickered. "Y-You didn't see anything, b-bud." Cooper cracked with a weak smile, earning a nuzzle from his partner. "...I know you want to go on the coaster, but... C-C-Can we do that last?" The yanma groaned, arching her form and dropping to the ground in disappointment. Cooper sighed, picking up his little drama queen and beginning to walk into the park. "R-Relax! We can win some giant G-Gyarados toy first, maybe?" The boy suggested, which instantly piped his partner back up, her wings fluttering in glee.
Cooper shook his head, slowly meandering around the many people in the park. He could see some folks raging over a likely rigged balloon dart game, while others screamed above on the Delta Streamer tracks. A large ferris wheel, the biggest, and only one in the Stellara Region. Lovers were lined for a lazy-river Luvdisc Tunnel ride-- Cooper took a few more steps forward before a man was chucked in front of him, having fallen off the most difficult phase of a mechanical Tauros attraction. Slowly inching around, Cooper paused in the center of the area, pulling his hat over his ears to muffle out some of the noise while Cheerie smiled while the gentle wind flapped against her face. She turned her head while Cooper eyed a Magikarp bumper cart ride, the Yanmna quickly picking up the scent of someone nearby approaching her Morph companion- but who?

Appearance:
Ticket Punching! [1/3] Fun and Carnival games for All!
Kono walked around the area, looking around at the city with the bright lights and casino’s littering the area as Anubis laid on his shoulder lazily, the little bugger. “Anubis, you little bugger c’mon and walk. You need the exercise!” Kono said, chastising the pokemon for her laziness as Anubis shrugs and responds back telepathically, “And WHO is the one spoiling me~? That’s right, you! And I have to thank you for doing so! Now, mush!” Anubis raises her hand and punches the air, saying that as Kono sighs in response.
“Fine, fine… Hm, how about that fair over there? Carnival? Well whatever it is, we should go. How’s that?” offered Kono, and people looked at him a little strangely, as he was speaking out loud to his pokemon and Anubis wasn’t responding at least verbally, which kinda weirded out people. “REALLY?! Oh cooool! Yeah, let’s go! I wanna experience it! C’mon Kono, let’s go!” she begged him, pulling him on his ear and pretty much yanking on it, much to his dismay and annoyance as it kinda hurt. “Okay, Okay, just stop pulling! Ow!”
He headed over to the booth to enter the carnival and he handed him a ticket that someone curiously left on the ground for some odd reason, and he got it punched. “So, anything else sir?” the Vendor asked Kono, who held up hand as in a ‘no’ and continued on, as Anubis looked around, then screamed as a roar could be heard to left of them, scaring her so much, she fell off Kono's shoulder and Anubis and landed with a hard thump.
Kono looked to his left and saw the giant, mechanical Rayquaza holding the sign for the roller coaster. He chuckled at Anubis and picked her back up and put her back on his shoulder as she left out a string of telepathic curse words that made the whole thing funnier. “C-C’mon, Anubis, stop cursing!” he said, barely able to keep the snickering in as he headed off.
“Well you SEE, now my fur is ruffled, I got hurt, and YOUR laughing!” she yelled into his mind, looking super miffed as he laughed loudly, not looking where he was going as he’s turned to his partner. He didn’t seem to see the miniature kid with the yellow jacket a good 20 feet in front of him as he quickly closed in the distance pretty quickly and pretty much towered over him, more than twice his size.

Calem looked around the massive place eyes scanning for anything out of the ordinary. You never knew with places like this. They were people always watching you out of every place they could think of. Then again in this crowd, it'd be foolish for them to nab him unless they were all trying to capture him. Sweat dripped off his face of that thought. Maybe coming to the fair was a dumb idea. Fetch Bashed his stick of leek onto his head leaving a small bump which he rubbed in pain, "Why did you do that Fetch huh." He'd grab his bird Pokemon as he turned his head, (Maybe if you were not being such a baby I would not have done that.) The Pokemon barked though Calem only heard Farfetch is an annoyed tone. "I really need a translator." He grumbled as he let Fetch. It was too big to leave on his shoulder or carry around for a long time. Fetch was loyal though he could let him fly close by as long as he didn't bother anybody. No harm was done at that point. He paused looking over at the massive rides that were in store.
There was some he didn't care about like that Gyrados merry go round. Then he saw it. The Delta Streamer. It was the biggest ride he had ever seen. Hell, the reason he came was that he never been to a local fair. The closest they got was fall when they were selling their crops on mass in town. He turned to see the stands with Pokemon dolls and happy kids trying to win a gift. It put a small smile on his face. Then the feeling someone could be watching him gawk at kids came back to him. He'd turn wiping his hair, he had to act uninterested. Then they'd think he was coming else. He could see some of the other rides, a Luvdisc tunnel. Then some ride with mini cars and Magikarp. It was Far from where he was so he didn't really know. What he could see was a little kid. He had a bug type Pokemon on his head. He grunted in annoyance. Bug Pokemon were the weakest type of Pokemon. What was more concerning was the man walking right towards him without paying a lick of attention. He'd open his mouth, "Yo Kid you better move out of the way." He didn't have time to fully explain why the boy should move because of the fast pace this man was walking at this kid.

Harvest Moon Well, this was his life now, apparently. Doug smiled politely at his client as he handed them the bowl of noodles, his little stall entirely out of place when compared to the rest of the food stalls on the Carnival. For one, it's food would not lay waste to a human's innards. His father would disown him long before letting him serve such food to clients. It was a cold winter day, so he had figured a hot meal to keep the people's bellies warm would be ideal. With that in mind, Doug had chosen to serve noodles in his stall. He had multiple pots constantly heated by his Larvesta behind the counter, and served a small variety of soups to go with the noodles. He had decorated it in a traditional Johto fashion, something he had learned from his father, who while from Unova, had learned quite a lot from other regions while working and learning as a cook abroad in his youth. The stall was more successful than he would have thought, seeing a lot of during lunch time. Parents were happy to find something healthy to feed to their children, and Doug was all too happy to take their cash. Now that the lunch time rush was over, things were beginning to slow down, so Doug could simply relax and let Larvesta take a break. Crouching in front of the pokemon, he laid a bowl of noddles, smiling at her. "Great as always, girl." He complimented her as he reached with his hand for her fur, scratching gently at it. She brightened visibly, leaning against his touch as she propped her body over the bowl, eating up. "Maybe we should open our own restaurant once we become champs." He mused as he stood from the crouch and leaned over his stall, throwing a glance around the carnival. Nothing of real interest to him. There were a few characters that stood out from the crowd, but to someone like Doug, they may as well have blended in with the background. Cept for one. "Huh; is that...?" He muttered to himself, squinting as he tried to make out a small figure from the crowd. He recognized that figure... Yes, it... it was...! "It is! A Yanma!" He shouted, grinning as he reached with his fingers for his mouth, before a shrill whistle suddenly cut through the noise of the crowd. "Hey you! The dude with the Yanma; hey!" He shouted, whistling sharply again. His hand was raised, waving. "Over here! Come'ere!"

TICKET PUNCHING
COOPER USED SPARK! IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE.
Cooper raised his head as a voice called to him and his trusted Yanma. Cheerie perked up as well, eyeing a man and a Larvesta at a nearby food stand. Cooper tilted his head, and with his attention diverted, he failed to notice another that was about to trample over him.
A stern voice soon warned Cooper to move just as he was about to approach the other bug trainer. "W-W-Watch out for w-whaAAAAAGH!" Cooper began, only to let out a shrill yell when Kono began to trample over his unsuspecting, tiny body. Cooper's eyes were wide with shock and fear- when he felt a foot plant against his hardened head below his hat, instinct quickly kicked in in a shocking manner.
Sparks flew just as Cooper was trampled- as soon as he fell to the ground, his hat fell off, revealing the grub dome on his head. That would be the least of everyone's concerns, though, as a Spark attack, though not as strong as a pure pokemon using it, coursed through Cooper and up to Kono and Anubis, with Cheerie being shocked as well when she was on Cooper's shoulder. Several passerbys turned and stared in concern and awe as the sparks began to fade, both Cooper and Kono likely on the ground now.
"Urrghh..." The boy groaned, turning to eye a dizzied Cheerie on her back with swirled eyes... Wait, why had she fainted? What was going on? Cooper pushed himself up, turning down to realize his stub-hands were revealed now as well, with parts of his sleeves fried by the electricity. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked up to his revealed cupola, now shaking in his boots. "I... I-I'm..."
That was all Cooper could get out before he closed his watery eyes, diving to the floor and digging right into it to escape the prying eyes of the humans. A tiny hole was dug quickly- Grubbin were expert burrowers, and Cooper was no exception. Soon enough, the boy had completely vanished underground, with stray flecks of dirt covering the tiny hole back up...
(...iS tHAT a fudGinG arCEUS...? ) Cheerie mumbled on the ground, still twitching from the electricity. ( ...bRIght light... am... am I dEad? ) She groaned, shaking her head. Her 360 degree vision returned quickly as the Yanma rolled back to her feet... Where was Cooper...? Well, the covered hole on the ground was an obvious indication. (....Oh.)
(Ah, cripes, not again, Coop.) The Yanma spoke in what would be gibberish for the rest of the humans around her, the bug's vision drifting to the taller man and his Riolu- the same who had caused this mess. No anger was visible in the bug's gaze, however. (...Gee whiz, this sure is a pickle. Never to fear, though, miss Riolu! I, the great Cheerie, am an expert at finding lost Coopers!) The Yanma reassured proudly, ignoring the gazes of others that were still fixed on the aftereffects of the odd situation. Cheerie was confident she could fix this mess though- this wasn't the first time Cooper got worked up like this.
The Yanma floated to Calem and his Farfetch'd nearby, a stubby claw on her chin. Her gaze was narrowed inquisitively, specifically at his pokemon, though the human had tried to warn her and Cooper, which was appreciated. (Good day, my good fellow Flying Type! This might be asking a lot, but would you be able to help me find my best buddy, Coope-- Oh, oh, oh! Bug type alert! Be right baaaack!) Cheerie chimed, her attention drifting as quickly as ever. She almost forgot about the other bug nearby! Regardless of if the bird pokemon took her offer, even though she was cut off by her own drifting attention, the Yanma zipped right to Doug and his Larvesta, a doofy smile on her face. Bug types were always good pokemon- even better than those birds!
(Hello! I'm Cheerie- Cheerie the Yanma!) The dragonfly zipped around the two at high speeds- the Speed Boost ability sure was useful. (Miiiight be a longshot, but would you be able to help me find my human? He, uh... You know.) She glanced back to the covered hole wearily, all six of her claws twiddling together. (But I know a great spot in the Kaxyl Forest FILLED with Berries I can show you if we find him! Waddya say?)

Ticket Punching!
Fun and Carnival Games
for All!
"... And that’s why the ‘Yeet!’ meme is DEFINITELY making a come back now!” Kono exclaims as Anubis had an exasperated look on face. “No. it’s not. Just because one milk bag looking person on the internet says it is, doesn’t mean it is, no matter if he has 30 people watching him or his 3 million people.” Anubis argued back, looking down and yelling “WATCH IT KONO!”
He jumped a little as he felt his foot hit something hard and Anubis jumped off him, just in time as a shock ran up his foot and threw him off balance, making him shake, and fall back, twitching. “Sh-shoot, it’s like I was hit with an electric type move…” he muttered, looking up and seeing the kid he just trampled. “I-I’m SO sorry!” he cried out, trying to shake off the spazzing of his muscles as he watched the kid have a grub dome, and tear up, has his hands revealed as well.
“U-uh… Your… Part Pokemon?” he asked inquisitively as Anubis wandered over to Kono as Cooper dug into the ground was gone. He watched the Yanma fly up, shaking off the electric attack better than Kono. “I’m so sorry, I just wasn’t paying attention…” he started, and Cheerie started buzzing, making Kono give a confused look. Anubis however, rolled her eyes in response, giving the Yanma the cold shoulder. “Tch, I wasn’t concerned about that kid.” she muttered to Kono who sighed. “I’m sorry, she is a bit of a brat.” he told the Yanma, hoping it could understand him.
“She wants us to find her trainer/pokemon hybrid… I think I can feel his aura… Somewhere, but it’s going fast.” she muttered and looked at the Yanma and yelled out, sounding more like barks and yips, though Kono could thankfully understand. (Yo Yanma! Cheerie! I will offer the assistance of the great Anubis to you! I can track Aura’s and I think I could pinpoint his. But, it would cost you-) Anubis started, about to try and squirm something out of her and her trainer, but Kono cut her off. “Knock it off! I’m sorry, uh Cheerie! Could I help? I’d love to help if I could since I made him go away…” he muttered sheepishly.
“Hey! I coulda got something out of that for us!” Anubis said poutingly but Kono sighed. “It’s not right and you know it. Now your gonna help me.” “Why should I?! You caused it!” she argued back. “This’ll be a long day…”

It really was too late. The large yellow-haired man ran right into the small boy knocking him right over. Then something odd happened. He could see an odd shape covering the boy's head before sparks flew off his body slamming into the man's frame. He looked up confused. Of course, he saw the Yanma on his shoulder though he was quite sure it could not learn electric moves. Though he didn't know much about bug types in the first place. She then began to dig in the ground which caused him to be even more confused. He really didn't want to know how such a freak of nature came to past. Course he'd never say that out loud but he didn't think it is natural for a Pokemon to mix with a human. This Region got stranger every day that he stayed there. By the time he got his shit together the boy was underground in a small tunnel of his own creation. As this was unfolding another character entered the picture heading over the Yanma. Was this place home to all the bug type lover or what. He grumbled in annoyance as he stepped up. "You really need to get your eyes out of your ass. I hope that not as blind as you battle." He'd say to Kono as he walked forward his cloak billowing in the wind.
Fetch his Farfetch'd walked up looking at Anubis. ("Really I'm surprised you'd run with someone so blind. Suppose maybe you're the brains of that operation. However much you got in that skull of yours.") Fetch put out his wings turning to Cheerie. ("I suppose I can help find him. Only because I'm curious about why he's a Pokemon and a human at once. I'd love that being able to talk like a human with a Pokemon body. Or maybe taller legs and long arms. I'd be able to pick up a bigger stick of Leek.") He'd joke as he focused on back on what was going on. He'd walk over to the hole poking it with his stick of leek. He didn't really see himself going into the tunnel and following. He was not a fan of the dark. Or not being in the open sky. Even if his flying skills were not the best he'd rather be super higher then underground. At least if he fell in the sky he'd hit the ground below him. For all, he knew he'd be back in Johto or something if he fell underground?
Calem observed the interaction between Kono and his Riolou. It seemed in some ways there were communicating. Of course, it just meant Kono could understand what his Pokemon had to say. He really didn't understand all he heard was the cries of the Riolu. They must have had some secret code or something. This Place really was strange. First, a Pokemon human thingy and now people being able to understand there Pokemon. While he could only hear half of it maybe even less. IT seemed though from what he could gather they were trying to decide whether to help someone? What was the Pokemon talking about? "Hey does anyone want to clue me in on what is going on? I don't read Pokemon lip, not alway of us got that powers you know." He'd say pretty annoyed at the fact he could not understand what most of them were saying that being the Pokemon.

Grubbin Hunting. Something... weird happened? He didn't really catch the gist of it, what with all the people crowding the place blocking his sight, but one thing had apparently led to another, and someone's pokemon had released a discharge of electricity, leaving the kid with the Yanma and a grown man in a yellow suit on the floor. He couldn't quite see what happened after that, the crowd proving to be even a better curtain now that the other two were on the floor. When the curtain opened up slightly, the small child was no longer there. "Oh well." Doug commented, pursing his lips in disappointment as he pulled a handkerchief and began cleaning his knife utensils. He guessed he wouldn't get to talk about with the kid about his Yanma now that he was gone. Oh well. Larvesta had apparently not been paying attention to what was going on around her at all, never looking up from her bowl of noodles until she was done with it, at which point she started to prod her trainer with her horns. "Hungry, are ya?" He asked rhetorically, grinning as he reached for the empty bowl. "I guess you did earn a second bowl." He said as he began refilling it, before placing it in front of her once again. As he rose up and turned around to face the crowd once again, he found himself with nearly a face full of Yanma, the pokemon stopping short of smacking his face. He blinked, before pulling his pokedex. And failing to scan it completely as it zipped around him and Larvesta at high speed, chirping at them. Doug huffed, unable to scan the pokemon. Larvesta had stopped eating only to try hide between his legs. Unfortunately, she was a tad too big for that, bumping on him in his efforts. The boy didn't seem to mind, crossing his arms while squinting at the Yanma. He then grasped another bowl and filled it with more noodles, tilting a thin brow at the Yanma as he held it up to it. "You hungry?" He asked, not knowing what else it could want. Larvesta prodded his leg, shaking her head up at him, to which the boy pursed his lips at her. "You've been spending too much time with Joltik; don't be stingy, there's plenty of noodles." He said as he reached down, patting her fur. Larvesta frowned, growing a little red in the face as she shook her head wildly. Well, that was out of character for her. She didn't usually lose her temper at him. "Huh." He mumbled, slowly pulling back the bowl while scratching at his chin. "Am I missing something here?" He asked his pokemon, who nodded vigorously at him. "Ah crud." Time to think. He slowly moved his gaze towards the Yanma, looking it up and down. Now that he thought about it... where was its trainer. He had noticed he had been gone before, but if the Yanma was still here, he should have been around. "Huh. Is this about its trainer? Did..." He paused, squinting at her. " She lose him?" He asked Larvesta, who seemed to sigh in relief, nodding rapidly in response, her fur shaking. "Ah, gotcha." He said as he reached under his stall and pulled out a simple sign. 'Be right back', it read as he placed it on the counter, before hollering at another one of the stall owners. "Hey Bruce, watch the stall for me, could you? Gotta help find one of the kids." He said to the man as he grasped Larvesta and swung himself over the counter, nodding at the Yanma.

TICKET PUNCHING
LOOK, GANG, A CLUE!
Cheerie's doofy smile returned when yet another member was added to her party. The dragonfly chirped again and flew around the bug catcher and his Larvesta, gesturing with her head to follow before zipping back off towards Calem and Kono, along with their Pokemon partners. Speed Boost was both a useful ability, yet sometimes rather annoying one to others.
The little bug landed on the ground, peering her head down the little hole Cooper dug. Her eyes drifted about- the tunnel beneath did seem to head up east, where the sun was still rising. She couldn't see too far into it due to the darkness around, though.
Cheerie raised her head to eye Kono, whom offered his help as well. The bug beamed and chirped in affirmation once more, doing a quick flip in the air. Promptly, the bug spun around and pointed her form to the direction of the tunnel in a rather flashy and dramatic pose where she stood on her hind legs with all but one on her hips and a spare limb pointing forwards. She reared back to zip forward again, only for a little reminder Cooper always gave her to come to mind. Right, she had to slow down for the others. They weren't as fortunate with an ability as mighty as her own, after all.
Still on the ground, the bug held her head high, marching forwards at a moderate pace with her new friends in tow. Sometimes she'd glance back to make sure everyone was in tow, or dash forwards if someone was about to pass her lead. A minute or so would pass, allowing the Grubbin Hunt Group to socialize... Cheerie continued to march with a prideful smile and closed eyes, only to yelp when she lost her footing.
Eyes open now, the Yanma would look down- lo and behold, there was another hole- most likely Cooper's exit route! She chirped, flying back into the air and orbiting the hole to signal the others over... Dirty footprints could be seen leading towards a smaller plaza, both with a log ride and a Wailmer show nearby... The dragonfly pokemon hovered forwards, a hand on her chin. Cooper had likely retreated to one of these two attractions... But which?
Earlier...
Cooper panted, resurfacing in a small outing in the carnival. He flopped onto his stomach with slow, shallow breaths. Dig was his best move, but it really took a lot out of him... He wiped some dirt and tears off of his face, finishing with a sneeze. "...A-Arceus, why me?" The boy muttered while he looked down at his stubby claws, still on the ground. He reached into his pocket for Cheerie's pokeball- his partner was always good comfort.
...Except the red ball wasn't there.
Cooper's heart stopped. Did-- Did he actually leave his best friend behind like an idiot? The boy teared up again, looking through his bag once, twice, and thrice... Nothing.
He dug his claws into his hair, only to hear a familiar chirp from afar. The boy peeked out of the bushes, spotting his red Yanma in the crowd... But, she was with some of those people that had seen him earlier, and the same man that had caused this mess. Cooper froze, shaking again... Maybe he could signal her away, or catch her away from the others later. But-- But they'd see him here and ask a million questions probably!
Still terrified, the boy put his hat on and covered his claws, speeding into the plaza. A log ride, and a wailmer show were nearby- which would be better to hide out in for now...?
Well, the answer was obvious.

TICKET PUNCHING!
Finding the lost Trainer!
Kono turned and looked down at Calem, towering over him with an annoyed expression. He knew he screwed up and didn’t need a backseater. “Thanks, Sherlock. And my eyes weren't in my ass. So screw off with that. If I have to, I can prove it.” Kono said, his eyes narrowing. “But right now, we got more important things to deal with. Anubis. Can you track him?”
(Hold on! I can’t really control Aura still and there’s a lot of people, so a bit hard. I think I got a hit though!) Anubis chittered and barked out, Kono nodding as if he understood it, which he did. However, the Farfetch was annoying Anubis. (Ha, we both work together. We’re partners, he just did something accidentally. And it looks like that leek is uh… Compensating for something.) Anubis snarked back to Farfetch, defending her trainer. “Anubis, be nice… Somewhat at least.” Kono said and glanced at the man who was had the Farfetch.
“Secret power? Nah, Anubis can communicate telepathically and I just usually communicate normally to her cause it’s easy for me and I learned to understand her with her communication. I could help you later if you want.” Kono offered, wanting to be friendly to the person.
(Kono! I got something!) Anubis cried out and scaled him, sitting on his head, and pointing in direction of the rides, two in particular. A Wailmer show and Log ride. “... If I was a pokemon person that wanted to hide and not be seen, where would I… I wouldn’t wanna head to the crowd of people and be easy to see... Hey Cheerie! I think I can tell which way he went.” Kono called to the Yanma. “I think he went on the log ride. If you want too, I can wait out here and Anubis can go in… I caused this earlier, so he is probably mad at me… Or scared of me…” Kono said, looking a bit down.
(Hmph. I guess I can help. Mind if I help Cheerie?)
To the Log Ride!

Calem looked up at Kono as he began to talk. "Man do all you brute types solve it with violence. Big and tough but no real brains. Listen if you attacked me what do you think would happen. What would happen is Fetch over here would beat your fighting type chump then beat you if you tried to attack me. So stop trying to act tough. Your embarrassing yourself." He'd turn a smirk on his face as Fetch turned looking at Anubis."Oh, you got a big mouth. Really want to fight i'll beat you black and blue. If you don't know basic fighting pal. Wings Equal better than everything else. Because we can fly. Even on the ground, I could beat you silly. So don't try and talk all tough." Fetch grinned at Anubis. It really was fun to mess with weaker Pokemon. Especially when they were fighting types. All smug having strong fists but he just flew all around them. Easiest trick in the book. Calem looked up at the Yamma as he was moving super fast an annoyed look on his face. That Pokemon was so fast it really got him annoyed. He just looked untill Kono said something that caught his attention.
He said he could talk to his Pokemon. He'd stare at him in disbelief. He'd blink a couple of times. "OK Listen. I know some people wanna feel special. I get it everyone wants to be a class act. You should check yourself into the mental ward, however. For Real, I think your crazy. You can't talk to Pokemon. Nor can you do with your mind. That not fucking impossible. Like I've met people with the silly thoughts but you...you just might be the craziest person I've ever meet with that one statement. The day I believe you can telepathically talk to Pokemon is the day I grow wings and fly." He'd shake his hand in front of his face. There was no way they could read other minds. That not how it worked. Maybe if his Pokemon was a Psychic-type but just normally? No way! They must have been trying to bluff. Then he called the Yamma name. How would he know the Yamma name? He let on a sigh. Maybe this guy could read lips? He really was not sure. Or maybe this Yamma could use sonic waves and send him messages? He honestly didn't know but he didn't think he was telling the truth. Plus they just ask the kid when they meet. He probably just made up a name to act all cool. Regardless he'd turn to follow Cheerie while he yelled at Fetch, "Go fly over the park see if you can spot..him her I don't know just it!" He'd yell as he'd flap his wings flying off, "Boy needs to learn some respect." Fetch grunted as he flew off.

Grubbin Hunting. ' Urgh, You've got to be joking.' And just like that, he was already regretting joining the little search party. The two other members were at each other's throats and he couldn't for his life tell any of what the Yanma had to say, much as he would have liked to. Perhaps the day's work had him tired, or maybe the cold weather had him mellow, but he refrained from joining the warring trainers and their pokemon in their dick measuring contest. Larvesta hung to his back once again, taking a piggy back ride on her trainer to keep him warm. Not being on the ground level would hopefully keep her from having to engage the two arguing pokemon. Doug wouldn't force her hand on this one; even he didn't want her to socialize in this kind of atmosphere. At least the Yanma knew where it was going. A few, very uncomfortable minutes into the walking later, they found a hole. Doug had absolutely no idea of why exactly this hole was important, but the Yanma's orbiting around it clearly meant something. He wasn't sure of what was going on, but it appeared the guys were going to the Log Ride. He shrugged his shoulders, peering behind him at his Larvesta. "May as well check out the other attraction, huh?" He thought, before turning to the group. "I'll check the Wailmer Show, just in case." He could do with a break from the hostilities. After the blonde flying type trainer's last words, he wasn't entirely sure wanted to be around to see if the sparks flew. He and Larvesta began walking down the path to the Wailmer show, beelining it for the large stage were the show was held. Upon entering, he wasn't too surprised to see there weren't that many people around; it was cold as balls in this winter and he doubted even the Wailmers wanted to be here. There were some people around, though. He glanced around lazily, wondering if the kid he was looking for would be around.

TICKET PUNCHING
A WILD GRUBBIN APPEARED!
Cheerie wearily glanced back at the group of people following her. Two of the humans were not getting along, and the bug trainer wasn't happy about it. The Yanma inhaled slowly before coming to a stop in front of Cooper's exit hole, turning her head around to look at the poor team. Kono hypothesized that Cooper could have wandered to the log ride, earning a few emotionless blinks from Cheerie. She doubted her trainer would go to a thrill ride right after being scared silly, but the bug trainer had the right idea. Cheerie gestured the other two to the log ride, promptly flying after Doug with a high-pitched call that could likely be interpreted as a "Please don't leave me alone with these crazies."
Whether Kono and Company followed through with the log ride or moseyed after the fleeing sane triad of Cheerie, Doug, and Yanma. Fluttering slowly alongside the bug maniac, Cheerie would whistle, eyeing the tanks full of water Pokemon. A Gyarados' muffled roar could be heard through the glass, the mighty leviathan pokemon swimming above them in a domed tank surrounding the entry tunnel to the aquarium. It wasn't too long before they made their way to the show's central stage. A few Wailmers lazily floated along the water, their blubber keeping them warmer than Cheerie could dream of in the cold weather. A larger shape could be seen in the depths of the tank- the show's crowned jewel that was guest starring, a Wailord.
Cheerie picked up a small brochure off the ground, eyeing it. She had it upside down in front of her, but even if it was right-side up, the Yanma would never be able to understand the human writing. Still, the pictures were awful pretty...
Down near the bottom, dirt floor surrounding the deep tank, if Cheerie was paying attention, she'd see an all too familiar boy with slightly fried, blackened clothes. Cooper managed to keep his hands covered by retreating his arms into his shirt and leaving the sleeves empty and limp, with a Wailmer hat he purchased earlier covering his grubbin dome. He sighed, wiping a tear away and looking into the water, and honestly just feeling like an awful trainer, ditching his Yanma due to his own fear.
Little did he know he wasn't out of the woods just yet.

(Kono fell off the face of the planet so here goes)
(Was not sure what to write so here what I got sorry for it length)
Calem sighed as he walked with Doug as they tried to find Cooper. They were heading to where he guessed he dug he was not sure how he could even do that. How was a human and Pokemon fused? So, for now, he followed them while Kono seemed to have disappeared into the crowd. He didn't say anything about it, the man learned his place. That was what he'd like to think at least. Calem watched as they traveled close to what was a tank where they store water type Pokemon. He'd look observing before the roar of the Gyarados scared him off as he turned trying to catch up to the others. There even a Wailord which he had no idea that massive Pokemon could fit in such a tank or even be so massive. Must have been the mass of the ocean it allowed for Pokemon to grow bigger. It gave him some wonder were the Wailord here just as big. The Average height of Pokemon was recorded in Pokedex but not the lowest or the highest. He'd follow the bug Pokemon watching it interact with the brochure as he just sighed. Were they ever going to find this kid? He had not heard back from Fetch so he doubted he had found anything

Grubbin Hunting. The Yanma and the bird trainer seemed to have chosen to accompany him to the Water Show, whilethe Riolu's trainer had chosen to stay behind and investigate just to make sure. Thankfully the situation difused itself once the two arguing trainers went their separate ways. Though he wasn't sure if he wanted to be left alone with the bird trainer. He appeared to be rather confrontational and Douglas knew his temper wouldn't hold out any longer than the other man's had. Hopefully he had misread him and it had simply been a case of bad first impressions. The water show was impressive, he supposed. Considering the nature of a carnival, it was impressive that they had managed to make installations large enough to house multiple Wailmers and Wailords, as well as pokemon as large as Gyarados. That said, that was about where it ended for the Bug Catcher; if it wasn't a bug type pokemon, it generally couldn't hold his interest for too long. Luckily, his lack of interest in the pokemon showcased meant that he could focus on simply finding the Yanma's trainer. "Do you see 'im, Larvesta? He looked like a short kid. Wore yellow clothes, too." He was bound to be eyecatching, he felt. Doug began descending the stairs, moving towards the large tank while throwing lazy glances around the place. Short and yellow. Short, and yellow... He almost missed the boy entirely, his line of sight soaring over his short stature before he managed to catch a spot of yellow in his peripheral vision. He paused in his step, eyeing the boy. He certainly looked like what he had seen before; had his clothes always been singed? He had been too far to notice. Oh well. He began walking towards the boy. "Yo." He called out to him, trying to get his attention. "Are you a Yanma's trainer? Cause she's looking for you."
