Set in the original region of Arciel, Legends Rising is a route-inspired, but not strictly route-based, Pokemon roleplay. Pick a faction, pick a class, and strike out into the wild to take on the League, master Contest coordination, research the mysteries of Pokemon and Arciel, and much, much more. Will you be a classic trainer? A criminal? A farmer? Choose your destiny on Legends Rising.
To protect others. To be the mediator. To be a guardian. It required more than a silver tongue. It required a strong will and body. That goes for a Ranger's Pokemon as well. They all had to be in top shape in order to help save people and stop any threats that may show up. This was honestly a fear of Koa's. There was the very real possibility of his Pokemon getting hurt or worse one day and he wasn't sure how he would be able to handle that. Still, his determination won through. If something like the Ultra Beast invasion ever happened again, he would be where he was needed.
Koa and the team he would be training up today walked alongside a large lake, and this gave him an idea "Alright everyone! Let's go for a run. Azura, you can swim alongside us." He said as he beckoned to his team and started to run. Toki kept up and ran alongside him while Azura bounced over to the water and dove in. She happily swam along as the others got the idea and started to follow. Makoto stayed with Sakuya and made sure she wouldn't fall over in her attempts to sprint after the team. Kupuna flew alongside everyone and would happily offer to carry others if they got too tired. Janus hopped quickly and fluttered his wings and kept up pretty well, though it was clearly taxing on the little Natu.
This run was something that Koa was used to. This was a daily routine while he trained at the academy. It was honestly relaxing to go for a run, especially with his Pokemon by his side. They passed by some rest areas and turned at the corner of the lake. After the initial struggle to pick up the pace, Koa's team were now looking like experts as they lined up next to him. He smiled down at all of them as he looked forward to a training area. "Let's stop there and take a bit of a break. We'll continue our training after a breather." He said as he sped up a bit. His breathing was properly paced between each of his steps to ensure he could keep going as long as he had to. He had a pretty long stride due to his body type, which made it all the more impressive when his Pokemon were able to keep up with him.
Finally, he started to slow down as they came up to the training ground set up. He made his way to a bench and sat down as he wiped his brow "Phew...good start." He said. His Pokemon looked a bit winded, so he reached over to a nearby water fountain to turn it on so they could all get a drink. He took out a little spray bottle and beckoned Sakuya over before he reached down to spray some water on her. She squeaked happily and wiggled around at the care.
After a substantial rest, Koa stood up "Okay, gather around." He called. He looked around at their options. "Makoto, Toki, how about you two spar for a bit? You're both Fighting types so I think that would be a good exercise for you both!" He said. Pancham's became part Dark type when they evolved, so Makoto learning how to potentially deal with a Fighting type opponent could be ideal in the long run. Both of them nodded to Koa and made their way to a padded battle area where they could safely spar. He mused for ways his other Pokemon could train. He spotted a large container filled with all manner of equipment. Training dummies, weights, durable balls, and more. He had an idea and brought a few of the balls over to Kupuna and Azura "Kupuna, I want you to throw these into the air for Azura. Azura, you're going to hit them with whatever attack you want while they're still in the air. Sound good?" He said. Azura barked happily and Kupuna let out a low grunt in affirmation as they went about it. For Sakuya and Janus, he set up a small training dummy "You two are a little less used to fighting, so take turns attacking this. Now, if any of you get tired, feel free to take a break! Don't push yourselves too hard." He said to his team.
Toki and Makoto's training was going well as they traded blows. Toki leaped towards her and brought a palm down on Makoto, who blocked it with her arm. She pushed his arm away and struck Toki with several rapid palm strikes which pushed him back further and further. Eventually, Toki stepped into the strikes and kicked her away to stop the attack. Both smiled at each other as they went in to continue their fight.
Kupuna called up a small twister and launched the balls into the air. Azura looked up and decided to try out a new move. She conjured up water around her body and started to skate around on the torrent before launching herself up at one of the balls, knocking it away with a well placed Aqua Jet. She then launched a Water Gun at another while still in the air before she took a deep breath. Afterwards, she let out a song-like note that blasted the remaining one back towards the ground. She landed with a bow and looked rather pleased with herself.
Sakuya and Janus had the simplest training exercise, but it was suitable for them. Janus leaped up and pecked at the training dummy while Sakuya launched leafs at it from a distance. Sakuya was still young, but she was getting the hang of this rather quickly. Sometimes the two of them would even go in and attack at the same time, which helped build their camaraderie for potential battles together.
Everything seemed to be going pretty well for his team. Their training was coming along nicely and Koa was happy to see this continue as it was. In a bit they would have a short break, but in the meantime Koa thought about what he could do. He felt like he had difficulties getting to know his team individually since they were usually out all at the same time. So he decided that after a break, he would start working with each one individually and spend some time getting to know them and their personalities a bit better. After all, Pokemon needed care and attention to be at their best, and he wanted to do everything he could to provide for them.

Koa clapped his hands together a couple of times "Break time, everybody!" He called out. They all happily gathered around and rested near Koa. He smiled softly, but he felt the faintest hint of insecurity. They all loved being around him, but he wasn't entirely sure why. He did his best to take care of them all and tend to them, but was he really doing enough? However, he shook that feeling off. They appreciated him for a reason and if he felt he had to do more then he would just have to do more instead of fret about it.
He spent a nice moment praising them for their effort so far. Sakuya looked more comfortable around the other Pokemon after training for a bit. Azura beamed pridefully while Toki bowed. Kupuna grunted contently while Janus stared into space as usual. Makoto swished the leaf sticking out of her mouth and grinned.
"Alright everyone, let's do some solo training. I'll come by and help you all out individually, so just do whatever feels comfortable for you. Remember not to strain yourselves, alright? Let's go!" He said. They all scattered to do their own thing and wanted to make Koa proud. Little did they know he was already proud.
First off, he went to check on Azura, who was happily doing little laps near the shore of the lake. She was practicing acrobatics by doing little flips in the air as she leaps out of the water. She also propelled herself with Water Gun to get better aerial mobility. Koa applauded her creativity as she beamed happily at him. She hopped out of the water and cuddled next to him when he sat down. He pet the top of her head "Working hard, aren't you?" He said as she rested next to him "Can you believe how far we've come already? It feels like only yesterday that I started to take care of you. Now we're on a big adventure with a whole group of new friends." He said. She looked up at him and tilted her head with a smile. He played with her ears and smiled "We have a long way to go. Let's prove our bonds to the world." He said. She barked happily and jumped back into the water, working harder than ever. She leaped out of the water and waved at him before she splashed back down.
Next up, he noticed that Toki and Makoto had moved on to the training dummy, but they were hitting it too hard and knocked it over almost every time. That was a bit of a predicament. He snapped his fingers as he got an idea. He walked over and picked up the dummy and braced against it. "Alright, now try! Don't worry about hurting me, I'm tougher than I look." He said as he smacked the dummy once. Makoto and Toki looked at each other and nodded before they dove at the dummy and struck it full force. Koa grit his teeth and dug his heels into the ground as they started to combo it together. A flurry of punches and jumping kicks. For such small Pokemon they sure packed a hefty punch! "That's it, you two! Toki, I'm going to move it around. Try to hit it!" He ordered as he started to bob the heavy dummy from side to side. Toki whiffed a few strikes, but once he got the rhythm he was consistently striking the dummy and almost knocking it back along with Koa. Makoto followed suit and threw her whole body against it, making Koa stumble back a few steps. Toki looked like he was pushing himself too hard, which made Koa worry a bit. Makoto struck the dummy again, which didn't prepare Koa for when Toki leaped forward and kicked hard at the dummy. The force from both strikes knocked over both Koa and the dummy. He coughed a couple of times, but started to laugh "Ah, those were some good hits!" He groaned as he pushed the dummy off of him. He stretched a bit and knew he was going to feel a bit sore after that, but it was worth it to help his Pokemon grow.
However, he noticed Toki sitting down and rubbing at his leg. "Hey, Toki...you didn't hurt your leg, did you? Let me see you..." He walked over and sat down next to him. He gently grabbed his leg and felt around it. "Nothing seems to be broken..you probably strained something." He sighed softly and focused his aura. He began to channel it to ease Toki's pain. "You're probably going to have to sit the rest of today out, Toki. Or at least do light exercises." He said. Toki looked away, ashamed and not really wanting to comply. Koa gave him a stern look "Toki!" The stern tone got his attention "I know you want to be stronger. I understand how you feel." He said. He gave him a warm smile "But you have all the time in the world. Don't push yourself like this...you're already a great fighter. Take it easy for a little bit, okay? We'll grow and learn together at our own pace." He pet the top of his head "You're doing great." Toki stared at him for a moment. How would he even respond? He just smiled at Koa and nodded before he moved over to a nearby patch of grass to rest his leg.
He smiled at Toki's understanding and looked over at Makoto who struggled to get the dummy back up. Koa assisted and pat her head "Keep an eye on Toki and make sure he's doing okay, would you? You both have done great today, so take a break and relax. Good hits today, by the way. Calm and a powerhouse. That's a good combination." He said. Makoto blushed a little but simply smiled and swished the leaf in her mouth. She walked over to take a break with Toki.
Kupuna and Sakuya were passing a ball back and forth to each other to practice agility and coordination. They looked happy and content during the exercise that it might as well be playing. Janus observed nearby and tapped into psychic energies to strengthen his mind through willpower and meditation. That was something Koa didn't think he could disturb. Janus simply enjoyed being part of the group dynamic and observing. So Koa decided to check on Kupuna and Sakuya. They paused passing the ball back and forth as Koa picked up Sakuya, who looked so delighted by this. He carried her over to Kupuna, who lowered her head and nuzzled Sakuya. "Good to see you're all getting along so well. You playing well with the others, Sakuya? See, they're not so scary, huh?" He poked her head gently. She gave him a happy little expression and clung tightly to his shirt. "Good." He said as he sat down and rested against Kupuna. Everyone seemed to be done with this current round of training. The others soon gathered around for a break as Koa thought about what to do next for the day. Whatever it was, he was glad his team was doing as well as it was.

As the team took its break, Koa looked up at the sky and thought about the future. In the event a disaster like the Ultra Beasts happened again, would he even be able to take them on? Would his team be safe, or would he lose those precious to him? He stood up to pace around and be alone with his thoughts. It was a troubling idea, but he accepted the possible consequences when he decided to become a Ranger. Still, that did not make the anxieties disappear. There was also the matter of the abilities he awoke to when he met Azura. All he really knew about them was that it was called Aura and he only knew one way to really use it. Toki was a Pokemon that could utilize it in some way, but there was still much he needed to figure out. Maybe Toki could help? Or possibly lead him somewhere to strengthen it one day.
A gentle breeze swept through the training grounds as Koa took off his glasses to appreciate where he was now. "No. No worrying about the future." He said to himself. "These moments right now are the precious ones I should focus on." He said with determination. His Pokemon walked up to him, concerned. He smiled at them "I'm okay. Thank you all. Hey, let's go for a walk. It's a nice day, so it would be a waste not to enjoy a little calm, right? Kupuna, could you carry Toki while he rests his leg?" He asked. Kupuna nodded as Koa helped him onto her back. The group then left the current set of training tools to walk along the path towards more options.
There were wild Pokemon here in the training grounds, but they were relatively docile compared to others. He wondered why that was. Maybe they were released Pokemon given a place to roam? Either way, some training battles against them could do some of his more inexperienced Pokemon some good. This nice walk was decent exercise too, to an extent. It gave them a chance to just bond with one another. Azura had clambered up and sat next to Toki, clearly worried about him. Toki looked nervous as usual around her, but he appreciated her company and compassion.
Sakuya was looking pretty energized after her training with Kupuna. She hopped along at surprising speed as she threw out shining leafs that dissipated after a certain distance as she slowly got used to her move Leafage. Koa was delighted to see the usually sleepy Fomantis display such boundless energy. She has already come a long way and he was proud of her for that. "You know what...? Hey Sakuya, as we're walking, try to use Leafage and practice your aim a bit. Just be sure not to knock over any nests or hit any Pokemon, okay?" He asked.
At that challenge, she started throwing Leafage out at whatever she could find. A few leafs struck a loose branch on a tree and cut it off. She looked to be enjoying herself and beamed happily that she was hitting her mark. Nearby, something stirred and took notice of Koa and his large team.
A Baltoy spun around from out of the grass and paused for a moment in front of them all. It bobbed back and forth, as if waiting to see if Koa wanted to battle it. He looked down at Sakuya and smiled "Think you can fight this one?" He asked. She confidently ran forward as the rest of the group stood back and on the side of the road. Without missing a beat, Baltoy spun towards her with Rapid Spin. Caught off guard slightly, Sakuya is caught up in the attack and is launched back a ways. She gets back up just fine but is quite annoyed at the sudden strike. "Don't let it get to you! Counter with Leafage!" He commanded as Sakuya immediately tossed out some shining leafs that swiftly make contact despite Baltoy's speed. Turns out that little bit of practice paid off as she got used to the move. After a moment recoiling and getting back on balance, Baltoy rushed in for another rapid spin, swerving side to side to catch her off guard. "Sakuya, jump and use Fury Cutter!" With that command, she jumped as well as she could and slashed across the top of Baltoy's head as it spun past them.
This battle was getting pretty heated. Baltoy took a moment to recover before its eyes started to glow. A wave of psychic energy pulsed through the air and bombarded Sakuya with its energies. Not only was she staggering, she looked confused and dazed. This could be bad. "Sakuya! Fury Cutter!" The words were muffled in her head. She stumbled around and fell flat on her face for a moment. Koa's words struggled to reach her as she struggled to stand back up. "Fury...Cutter!" The words started to click slightly as she blindly swung her leafs around. Thankfully they struck Baltoy as it tried to Rapid Spin once more. It's knocked away and try as it might to get back up, it was clearly down and out from the battle. Koa ran over and picked up Sakuya to cradle her gently as she got over her confused state. She whined a little but Koa held her close "You'll be alright. You did great! Here..." He pulled out the water bottle again and sprayed some water over her, which instantly calmed her down. Koa walked over and helped Baltoy get upright again. It bobbed around a little while before it left the group, glad to have had that battle.
Koa set Sakuya on Kupuna while Toki hopped off to give her his spot. His leg seemed to be better now. They continued their walk and eventually a staircase leading up to another training area with a rest area connected to it. That would be a great place to do some more training and maybe get a meal ready for when they have to wind down. They all climbed the stairs up to this new spot. It overlooked the lake with an absolutely gorgeous view. In the distance Koa could see other trainers battle, train and explore. "Everyone, train how you want. Except Toki. Come with me." He said to him. Toki looked a little confused, but nodded as the team split up to do their own thing.
He stepped up to the very top of the hill which had plenty of space. He looked down at Toki "You're always so busy training and bettering yourself, but you always take the time to teach and nurture others. You have doubts like I do, but you also do your best to keep calm. How about you show me the martial arts you're known for? Show me some stances and help me clear my head?" He asked.
Toki was flattered to get this offer and nodded before facing the beautiful scenery and struck a pose and stuck to it. Koa did his best to copy him. Together they started to go through various stances and motions in a slow, deliberate manner. Koa focused his breath and began to feel his aura. There was still so much to learn in regards to it, so he needed to find some kind of teacher. There was something calming about practicing with Toki. Toki had the same sentiment. They both felt like they could forget their individual worries and simply help one another become stronger.
The others were doing just as well, with Azura entertaining Sakuya with a variety of tricks and acrobatics while Kupuna watched over them. Janus once more tried to connect with latent psychic energies to be of better use in battle. Makoto found training weights and began to lift them to strengthen her body, still looking as cool and reserved as ever. The day was still young and they still had more training to do. Everyone started to have more trust and friendship towards one another. Not that they were lacking in it before, but now they were learning more about each other and what they were all capable of.
After some time, Koa sat down and meditated alongside Toki. He looked over at him "Toki, you're trying so hard to get stronger because there's something you want to do isn't there? Or...you lost something and you never want it to happen again...am I right?" He asked. Toki stared off into the distance and just lowered his head. Koa reached over and pet behind his ears. "I know how that is...I really do. I never want to see people get hurt if there's something I can do about it. I want to help others become better people...and that goes for Pokemon as well. We all deserve the chance to be the best we can be, and to have that potential taken away is heartbreaking. Just know, I'll always be here for all of you. You're not alone. Never will be." He said with a warm smile. Toki teared up a little and returned the smile. Some kind of fate must have been at work to bring him to Koa. He vowed to himself then and there that he would be the best he could for his sake and for the sake of the team.
When they were done with their training and reflections, the two of them rejoined the rest of the group. Azura bounced towards Koa and Toki, nuzzling Toki gently and hopping up into Koa's arms. "Hey, Azura! I hope you're having a good day." He said as he poked her nose. She hopped back down and barked, clearly in a good mood. Toki was still a little flustered around her, but he appreciated her enthusiasm and happiness. Now seemed like a good time for a meal, so Koa called the group together and went to see what was available at the nearby resting point. He was starting to get a little hungry himself, so it was as good a time as any to recharge with a good meal. "Let's see what they got and have some lunch. I bet some of you are starving." His Pokemon called out, confirming his suspicions. He laughed "Alright, alright. Let's go, then."

After a friendly conversation with the shop keep at the rest stop, Koa bought a sandwich for himself and a big bowl of Pokemon food to be brought out to his team. While he was there, he bought a couple of training guides he would test out a little after everyone had their fill. A grass type move and a fighting type move...great for Sakuya and Toki. He smiled and sat down on a bench as he set the books down next to him. He waited for the Pokemon food to arrive before he started eating. As soon as it did, he smiled "Eat up, everybody. Good work today so far." He praised as they all gathered around the bowls laid out for them to begin eating happily. Koa started to eat his sandwich, content as food always tasted better after a good workout. Azura patted at the bench he was sitting on "What's up? You want to come up? Okay." He picked up her bowl and placed it next to him as she climbed to sit next to him and enjoy her meal with him.
Sakuya wanted to join too, so he happily obliged. The others were content being nearby, so he had Azura and Sakuya up with him. He occasionally paused to gently scratch behind Azura's ears or pat Sakuya's head, both of whom enjoyed the attention. It was peaceful, quiet, and this part of the area wasn't too busy today so Koa had all the time in the world to simply relax and enjoy things at his own pace.
The meal goes great, and everyone is satisfied and ready to move on to the next challenge. After a little bit of rest of course. Koa took the downtime to read through these training manuals he bought. "Hm..." He read through one about the skill 'Seed Bomb,' a move for Grass types that he figured would be perfect for Sakuya. Once everyone was rested enough, he brought Sakuya to grassy clearing just outside rest area.
"Alright Sakuya, we're going to teach you a new move! You ready?" He asked. She raised her leafs into the air and squeaked energetically, clearly motivated to learn. Inspired by her surge of confidence, Koa started to read from the manual "It says here that you need to focus your energies into the soil or available surface around you, so let's start with that." He said. Sakuya nodded and started to focus, a green glow surrounding her body as she dug her leafs into the ground "Awesome! Just like that! Now focus on a few select spots." He continued. It was difficult to focus all of this energy so quickly, but Sakuya did her best. Sprouts started to appear around her as the seeds started to rapidly grow "Okay, now...once the seeds are grown, focus your attention on something you want to attack. Since there's nothing around us right now, just throw them at any empty space." He said. Sakuya focused and then launched the seeds in an arc. Several flew at great speed towards the other side of the clearing and they all landed with heavy thuds against the ground before they crumbled away. "Great job, Sakuya! How are you feeling?" He asked as he knelt down next to her. She was a little winded, but looked good to continue practicing it.
"Okay, let's try that again, but let's focus on growing the seeds faster this time. We won't have the chance to take our time in an actual battle." He brought down the training dummy and set it in front of her. "Try to attack this as fast as you can with Seed Bomb, okay? Keep going until you feel confident, just don't burn yourself out." He said as Sakuya started to charge the attack again. She launched it faster this time, but missed her mark a bit due to how it was aimed. Next time she fired them off in a way that they all collided mid-air and she was clearly getting frustrated and upset, so Koa held her gently "It's okay, let's try one more time. Try launching each one on my signal."
Koa stepped away as Sakuya tried once more, creating the seeds almost instantly. "One!" She fired off the first one that hit the dummy directly "Two! Three!" She fired the other two and they struck one after the other in perfect hits. "Excellent!" Koa picked her up and hugged her "See? A little patience, and you did it. Now come on, you look exhausted! Let's get you some water."
The two of them returned to the group where he placed a weary Sakuya next to her empty food bowl, which he would then fill up with water "There you go." He pat her gently. Koa's patience and kindness towards her made her realize that she's been a little difficult lately. With both him and the other Pokemon. She wanted to be friendlier like he was and make friends with the others. Toki carried his food bowl over to her and set it down to give the rest to her. She looked at him, surprised, but Toki was proud of her dedication to her training and wanted her to get as much energy back as she could. She felt happy that the others already thought of her as one of their own. She always felt she was the odd one out of the group, but maybe that was just all in her head. She happily accepted the meal and waved as Toki went off with Koa.
It was Toki's turn to get a new move. His leg was completely better by this point, so he was ready to learn from whatever book Koa brought with him. "Glad to see your leg's doing better, buddy. Thankfully we won't be doing any kicks with this lesson." He assured as he flipped through the pages "Focus Punch. This is a bit of a risky one, but I think you'll be able to handle it. It requires utmost concentration. If you can focus fast enough to catch your opponent off guard, this attack will be incredible. But it won't work if you lose your concentration for even a second." This move sounded perfect for Toki! He was pretty speedy, and he always prided himself on his ability to focus through tense situations.
Koa lifted the dummy back up after Sakuya's Seed Bomb knocked it over. This thing was surprisingly durable thankfully. "Alright. Deep breath, center yourself, focus all of your energy into one hit. Step forward, and strike!" He called out. Toki settled into his stance and clenched his fist as a bright glow enveloped it. The glow shrank around his hand until the energy was at its peak. Toki stepped forward and punched with all his might. The dummy skid back several feet from the strike as the energy dissipated from Toki's hand. "That's it! Now...let's see how you handle it with distractions." He walked away for a moment and soon returned with Kupuna at his side, as well as some of the exercise balls. "Kupuna will launch these at you, but they will miss...try your best to stay focused and attack again!"
Toki tried to focus again as he walked towards the dummy to strike again, but one of the balls bounced past him and made him stagger a bit, losing the charge. "Come on, Toki...you got this.." Koa said quietly, wanting Toki to persevere through the test. Toki tried charging again, but a ball landed behind him and made him jump forward a bit. Was he really so easily surprised? Toki took a deep breath and charged once more. A few more balls landed next to him and bounced away, but he managed to keep his cool and eventually punched the dummy again to knock it over. Toki looked pleased with himself, but also embarrassed that he failed those first two times. Koa pet the top of his head "You did great. You kept trying, and you improved. That's amazing!" He praised. Toki smiled a little at that way of thinking about it. He did do pretty well after trying a few times and not giving up.
With all that done, Koa helps clean up and bring the materials back up to the proper training area. Today's training was a massive success in his eyes. They all managed to do their own thing and he was even able to teach Toki and Sakuya some new moves in the process. Though what was most important was that he managed to get the team closer together and bond with some of them a little more. They all shared meals together, trained together, and were overall better acquainted which would be a great boon during their future adventures.
It was pretty tiring, but he had a feeling this long day out on the training grounds would be an excellent step forward and leave them more prepared than ever. They all felt confident and stronger already. Sakuya is slowly starting to come out of her shell and interact with the others, and Toki is learning to appreciate the value of trying again even when it seems like he failed.
Koa decided to see to each of his Pokemon personally. First up, he picked up Azura "Did you have fun today? You sure swam a lot and your training with Kupuna looked great!" He said as he cradled her. She barked and clapped her flippers. She had a great time today. He hugged her and put her back down before he reached down to let Janus hop onto his hand "What about you Janus? You always look so lost in thought." He said somewhat teasingly, but he was just trying his best to be friendly. Janus rested in Koa's hand, content with the acknowledgement and attention, so he carried him for a bit. He then knelt down next to Toki and held out a hand to him for a high-five. Toki looked confused, but saw humans do a similar thing and pat his paw against Koa's hand. Koa smiled, so he assumed he did it right "You did great today too. Keep it up, okay? Trust in yourself, and never stop looking forward."
Sakuya was resting on Kupuna's back after a long day. Koa set Janus next to her and brought out the water bottle again to spray some on Sakuya as she rested "Good job today, really. You grew more than you think, Sakuya. I'm proud of you." He said as she wiggled around happily. He looked up at Kupuna "I hope you had a good time keeping an eye on everyone. Thank you for playing with them when they had nothing to train with." He said as he patted her neck. She nodded her head contently.
Lastly, he walked over to pick up Makoto "You trained alongside Toki, watched over him, and made sure he didn't hurt himself too badly. Thank you." He said. She smiled bashfully and rubbed under her nose confidently. "I just hope you're not too lonely. You're always so quiet." He said, worried. She shook her head. She was doing great with this team. She just liked to observe and help where she could. She knew they appreciated her company and that was important to her. "You and Kupuna make a great team of guardians watching over them. Thank you." He hugged her and set her down.
Once that was all settled, he looked out towards Birch City "Well, I think now's a good time to call it a day, everyone. I know it was a lot to handle in just one outing, but you stuck with it! Thank you. Now let's get back home and get dinner started, shall we?" He said. His Pokemon cheered as they all started to follow Koa on the road back to the city. They had an excellent day and it was time to get some well-deserved rest.
