Emerald looked at her make-shift berry bag. She had a shovel. And that was it. She picked out her material all from a logical standpoint. She didn't think the time would come for her to hurt someone. She was a pacifist, and the one reservation for this whole journey was that she might need to hurt someone. Or something. She knew this world was dangerous, but killing anything or badly maiming it would be too much for the girl. Even her gible, who could attack and fend off pokemon best out of her choices would need to be trained is modesty and control. No one needed to get hurt for the sake of knowledge.
The egg talk made Emerald fall back into conversation with the girl. "Wow, that's amazing! I can't wait to see what it turns into!" She hoped she would be able to find out this pokemon one the way to New Pallet. She loved the idea of a pokemon hatching, new life forming on her first day being a researcher. If it was meant to be, it would happen. And she sure did hope it would happen!
"Well, I had a mess of trouble finding out my starter. I even thought Ms. Nguyen had sent you to keep an eye on me. If my starter is my ambitions...what does it mean if you have trouble finding a starter?" Emerald did want all of her pokemon shown to her to be her starers. She took the wink from the girl and giggled a bit. They seemed very nice together, and hopefully if they ran into danger, Nix could show her how to handle a dangerous situation. Emerald just hoped nothing too bad happened on her way to Mirror Lake. That would be a bad impression on both sides. "I can't wait to see the vegetation they have there! What is your occupation?"

NIX NIGHT
Night's Shadow Nix chuckled a little as she heard the girl speak once more, "Its going to interesting but i really hope its one i would like, i have a select team of pokemon i want to train and to keep beside me and im going to do my best to stick to it as best i can" she said before her eyes darted to the flash of yellow on the grasses. Well, one pokemon off was alright. She was new to all this and she needed pokemon at this point, pichu was one she liked and she was going to run with it. Though as the topic moved on, nix felt her smile drop a little. She had not had an easy time picking her starter either so she knew that she girl might have gone through, nix didnt even pick on of those offered to her!
"I think a stater is a big choice and those who make it lightly are doomed to fail, i think having a hard time picking shows you are thinking about it well which is a good thing. I had a hard time with mine so dont feel too bad about it" she said with a little kind glance, her best attempt at being comforting. Then next comment brought her grin back though, "We are explorers, trying to find places no human has gone and catching pokemon to send back to new trainers to keep pokemon safer and get more trainers on the paths" she said, her eyes dropping down to the egg on her chest now. Would she keep this one when it hatched? Or would it not fit on to her team? She really didnt know and she wasnt sure if she liked not knowing this time or not.

Emerald looked back at the red-haired girl. "I want every pokemon! The skiddo, the azurill, the eevee, the castform! I would have named them Benton, Maxine, Fleur--it would have been a leafeon--, and Thunder. I would have been great with us. But...well you know. Such is the life of choosing; at least one is not chosen. Is it wrong to want every pokemon, Nix?" Emerald knew the answer to that. Yes, and no. It was a nice thought, but terribly impractical. It was possible, but also dually impossible. Emerald just wanted to know and love everyone.
With the talk about being an explorer, she perked up and sent out her dragon type. "Yes! Gible and I will be right next to you, on the periphery of known Mi-aro and science!" Emerald looked at her pokemon, who was glassy-eyed and obviously tired. She would get no excitement from him right now. "Well, maybe not now, but at noon we will be! Or at least near the lake." Emerald picked up her coarse-skinned pokemon and rushed up to Nix. She was looking at her egg again, though it did not look like the same glance as before. "Are you afraid your pokemon will hate you? I fear that often."

NIX NIGHT
Night's Shadow Nix eyes were still on her egg as the other girl spoke, her worried about whether or not she would get to keep it in her mind as she ran her hands over it once more but she needed to talk. She had agreed to travel with someone, talking kinda came with that! "I dont think its wrong because they pick pokemon to match us, i only really had a couple that drew me myself but the azurill i was offered reminded me a lot of someone in my family, though i dont get along with its types so i know it wouldnt be a good on to have on my side" nix mused out loud, complaining a little to someone she hoped would understand the issue.
The arrival of a new pokemon sent lucy off deeper in to the grasses and kitzu ran forwards, offering a paw in greeting to the new Pokemon on the ground as nix smiled down at him. "I think it would be great for us to travel and work together, i can find new places and you can find out all about em and send it back for help for others. As for pokemon, i know they'll come around eventually, if you are a nice person and treat them nice then it'll work. I mean i know lucy doesnt like me now but im nice, i hope, and i feed her and we try to talk to her and bring her in to things, she'll warm some time" the elder girl said with a glance and tiny wave to the now even smaller flex of yellow that was watching them in the grasses

With the talk of azurill, Emerald's eyes started to water. "They gave her to you, too? How often are they going to circulate them? What if they never get someone?" Emerald mumbled this, not directing anything to Nix. The woman was more absorbed in Emerald's pokemon. She held out her hand while the pokemon licked it with his short, rough tongue. Her pokemon was a biter, and a long tongue with a sharp set of teeth was not smart evolution wise. Though, Emerald was happy with her choice. A macho, tough pokemon would be fine, but it wasn't the best fit for Emerald.
"Really? I would love it! I may not know how to do much damage to a pokemon, but if you get an infection, I can help with that kind of stuff! And I do get it, the whole not fitting part. My problem is I fit, or at least try to, with every pokemon. I encounter. It's not easy, because I want them all but can't." She had stopped crying before she starting speaking. She wasn't going to cry to this lady like some nutjob. She would be emotional and adult-like. It didn't stop her pokemon from licking her led, though it loked like he was about to eat it as his jaws opened, and saying, "You are nice. I like you."
"Well then! Let's get going, and maybe Lucy will see the lake and like you a bit more from the view!" Emerald looked out at the small number of trees littering the field. Emerald would need to grab some berries--maybe even plant some in these holes! Every time she passed through she could plant a tree. That would be nice. And in a few years, because of the rapid time in which these trees grew, there could be a small forest. Emerald smiled at the idea.

NIX NIGHT
Night's Shadow Nix saw the girls face as she spoke about the pokemon she deemed her great grand mothers and nix frowned for a moment, hearing the soft comment from the female and tilting her head. That was nix's worry too, but more and more people were coming out in to the wilds now and she wasnt so worried about pokemon not getting homes. Nix gave a smirk as the girl spoke once more and the elder girl nodded, "Well i know a few of my herbs and such like but im not the best on it so it seems like we have made a good pair here" she said with a smile as she turned her head and looked for her fennekin.
The fox was a little ahead of the humans now, flicking his tail back and forth as he heard the dragon pokemon speak and he looked back before he rolled his eyes and moved on. He had no idea where he was going, but he wanted to be there first! Nix smirked however as her companion spoke again, she didnt think the view from the lake would be something to bond over but she hoped maybe a swim in the waters or a little battle between pokemon who would one day be freinds might aid in the matter. "Well it cant hurt" she mused out loud not really talking to the other trainer but her words still kind enough.

Emerald almost jumped! She looked at the girl with a large smile. "My mother and I have made new species of some plants, and those are being used in labs now! Some people don't even know how we were able to do it. My mother taught me how! Though I don't understand why or necessarily how it works, I can change plants! Even ones that might kill you!" Emerald got very excited. This was one person who would not look at her like an idiot or illegitimate scientist. She felt at ease with the person. And it was nice.
Her pokemon rushed off with the fire type fox. They all seemed to be having a good time. Well, the ones she could see. Emerald hoped these people were friendly, at least. The lake was very magical, if the girl believed her mother. She wanted to believe that very much. She really did.
"Well don't worry. Maybe I can even catch a feral pokemon out there! That would be so awesome!" Emerald spoke and kept her own thoughts burning as she contemplated her own new pokemon coming up. She wondered who she would find. Would she need to be as selective as her new friend? Or would she need someone able to do a job similar to her profession. Could she change professions? She had many questions. It was not even noon and she contemplated sending Anita Nguyen more text messages.

NIX NIGHT
Night's Shadow Nix could see clearly that his girl had a bit of a thing for plants and was very proud of the fact she had managed to create one with her mother, it was something nix merely nodded at as she was not one for plants aside their uses for her. She could make a shelter, a spear, maybe use the leaves of nurse a burn or a cut but that was all she needed them for. Some wanted them for pastes or for a color they held but that didnt seem so important to her, there were others things more on her mind. At this thought, her eyes darted down to the egg on her chest again and she wondered for a moment if there was a paste of plants she could put on it to make it hatch faster. Though moments later, she noted that was a silly idea. She rolled her eyes at her own thoughts before lowering her hand and stroked the egg once more, turning back to the other trainer as she spoke again.
"i will say ferals arent something to take lightly, some are merely pokemon born to the world who dont know it yet like lucy but some had grown up in the harder outside world and are very strong and smart. They will attack you because they know you control your pokemon for example" the elder girl warned, thinking of the encounter she had experienced with the pidove when she tried to catch lucy. It had attacked her rather than her pokemon in the hope of making kitty stall or something, either way nix had merely been blown backwards and kitty kept fighting which was something she was going to hope all her Pokemon did.

Emerald looked at the girl. She knew she sounded a bit over-excited, but that couldn't be stifled! She was happy, and she was eager, but mostly, she was ready. Maybe not to kill a pokemon, but she certainly was ready for other things, like looking at her pokemon, wild, befriended, or not, and smiling and helping them--and them helping her--with her research. It was beautiful. And every pokemon had that capactiy to love, in one sense or the other. She didn't care that it was dangerous. It was how they felt.
"You're right. But I can't want out into the unknown thinking about the bad, the useless, and the unimportant. That is how we destroyed the old world, you know. I just want to give every pokemon a chance, an equal one. Hopefully it doesn't get me killed in the process." Emerald looked at her pokemon, running. He seemed like one to care about things like protection and battling. He didn't look the most graceful. But a sturdy, balanced pokemon? Yes. He wouldn't let her get killed. At least not on a path so easy as this one.
"I wonder why they do. Do they feel threatened? I wonder if there is a scent that could calm them. It would probably be different for every species. Maybe even a scent like a flavor. Like how poffins used to be and some berries are now, I think. I know some pokemon don'e like versions of our plants...but there are many factors to that." And just like that, Emerald was back in her head.

NIX NIGHT
Night's Shadow Nix paused as the other female spoke and she tilted her head at the words offered, "Well think about like them. You are going about your life when something bigger than you turns up and wants to fight you, to take you from your home, maybe to kill you but you have no idea. If they want to be freindly, if they are pretending to be freindly to get something from you, they dont know us and havent ever had to deal with anything like us so its scary. And when pokemon and people alike are scared, they fight for what they know is safe. " she said as she looked over to her fennekin. He was born in to a world where humans were kind to him and cared for him, who looked after and helped him get ready to join a trainer.
Then her eyes moved to the grasses where she could see lucy peeking out, watching the two domestic pokemon. She on the other hand didnt know nix was there to help her, nix could have taken her and skinned her or traded her for cash or anything. It was no wonder the baby lashed out, it made sense, nix just wished she could some how tell her that she didnt mean harm. the girl frowned, her eyes darting again to the egg at her chest, would she have to tame that pokemon when it was born? Or could she teach it, like kitzu had been caught, that she was there to care for it and look after it.
