"Well, you see... My brother Orion also needs a home, and I figu-" "You've got a brother?! And I'm guessing he's one of the fairy breeds as well? What is he? A Horsea? A Growlithe?" Sleet asked, trying to keep her voice and temper in control. She was tired, famished, and knew that her Pokemon were probably as bad off as she was right about now, and that did nothing but put more pressure on her. At a time like that, Glacier normally would've stepped in and helped her calm down, but there was no Glacier here now. Almost at the verge of tears, she walked over to a tree, and sat down. Zellion followed her, and looked down at his feet, feeling quite bad at the time. He hadn't meant to cause her to have a break down, but he also believed that he wasn't the true cause. Sleet seemed to be wobbling, and her complexion was pale. She seemed extremely tired and hungry, but her sudden reply was what really threw him off.

"Look, I need to get my team out. And if you can help me get them out as fast as possible, than you're certainly welcome on my team. We've been out here for alost four days now, which is a hell of a lot longer than we should've been. And I'm almost out of food, and what I have left has to go to my team. So like I said, I'm always open for a new member, but you have to promise me that you can help me get my team out of here." Sleet said, never taking her eyes off of the forest floor. She knew that she never once said anything about her getting out, but she knew that it was probably a given. Of course, she also knew that if it came down to her or her team getting out, she'd get her team out no matter what. Quinlan, who hadn't said a word during the whole ordeal, came over and made his way into Sleet's lap. Smiling, the Pokemorph slowly stroked the Eevee, and after a few minutes, got up. "So we need to get going. Do you know a way out? Or did you get face planted into this place as well?" she asked, her determination coming back once again.

Zellion looked up, shock displayed all over his face. "Thank you so much!" he exclaimed. "And I do indeed know how to get out of the forest, since I was originally placed in a town with my brother. He was injured on our journey into the forest, which is why I got him back into a Pokeball. There's also a small Pokemart, a Pokemon center, a nicer route to the Shrine, and a pathway to the Muse Laboratory from the town as well. It's a rather small place, but it's a good first stop for beginning trainers in this region. So would you like to get going?" he said, smiling. He was happy to finally be of some help to the girl, and was even happier that not only had he found himself a trainer, but that he had also found his brother one. And Sleet certainly did seem trustworthy enough, even if she was a bit shy. But the main priority was to get her and her Pokemon to the center, since they all needed some kind of treatment, even if it was just a bit of rest.

"Do you really know how to get to the town from here?" Sleet questioned. It seemed almost to good to be true, but she also knew that Zellion had almost no reason to lie to her; at least, he didn't have one any more. And the constant growling of her stomach made her even more trusting at that point. "Well yes, I do. It's not to far, maybe ten minutes and we'll be at the forest's exit. And lucky for you, there's a pretty clear path to go by from about here on out." Zellion explained. "And we should be able to get out without any trouble, since most Pokemon like to stay away from such an open place." Sleet nodded, and started off, figuring that there was no time to waste.

Sleet decided about three or four minutes after walking that it probably wasn't as close as Zellion had said, since she probably would've seen more signs of the town by now. Sitting down, she dug into her knapsack, and brought out her second to last water bottle, and her last bag of Pokefood. "Hey, Zellion, Gwenn, come on over here." she called out. She figured that they should stop and have a snack, regardless of the short distance left from the town. They didn't won't to go into the town looking like rag tag newbs, that was for sure.

Zellion looked back at Sleet, and realized that she wanted them to take a short break. He wasn't sure if he had misjudged the distance to the town, and didn't really want to admit such a thing either. But when she held out some Pokefood, he immediately went over. Gwenn followed as well, and Sleet handed them both a handful. "Thanks." Gwenn said, smiling. "No problem. Let's eat up and get going again. We'll be there in no time, I know it."

The trio ate in silence for a few minutes, and once they'd all finished, Sleet stashed the Pokefood in her knapsack, and started to get up. "Hey, wait, Sleet, what about you?" Gwenn asked. He knew that she needed food and water, but that she didn't have any food left. "I'll be fine. It's just a little ways away. And once we're there, all I'd have to do is find the Pokemon Center. Nurse Joy is always willing to give trainers a bit of food, and I might even be able to stay overnight." "Who's Nurse Joy?" Zellion asked. "Yeah, I've never heard of her either..." Gwenn added. "Oh boy. You're telling me that the nurses here are Pokemon to?" Sure, Sleet was used to the occasional Chansey or Blissey showing up and helping her out at the centers, but it was almost always Nurse Joy's Pokemon.
Well, looking back on everything that had happened over the past few days that she'd been here, Sleet figured she should have seen something like this coming. After all, the professor was a Pokemon, so why not other professionals as well?

"Don't worry about it Sleet. I'm sure we'll get there, and someone will be able to help us. Regardless of whether it's a human or a Pokemon, if they can heal us, then everything's okay. Right?" Gwenn said, doing his best to sound reassuring. He realized that even if his trainer was doing remarkably well in adjusting to this new world, she still had a lot to learn about it. "I do suppose you're right Gwenn. I guess it's still hard to be here when everything I had was in Sinnoh. But as soon as we get to town, I'm going to have to drop you guys off at the center and go somewhere. Okay?" The two nodded, and finished off their food.

"Hey, so, Sleet. I've been wondering. When do you want to meet Orion?" Zellion asked her. She looked up, and thought about it for a second. "Well, I'd rather wait until my whole team is well again before doing that, since Squirt hasn't even met you, nor has Dewgong. And Pidove... Well, he's not really well enough to meet anyone yet." Zellion nodded, understanding his new trainer's logic. "I agree. I'm sure he won't mind waiting until then. Though, I feel you should know Orion isn't really a Pokemon that a lot of people know. He'd not from any of your normal regions. His'species originates from a place known as the Unova region. He's known as an Audino."

"An... An Audino?" Sleet said, testing it out on her tongue. ]"Hm. That should be quite interesting... I can't wait to meet him." she said, smiling. Zellion was quite happy that she wasn't uneasy about meeting a Pokemon that she hadn't ever heard about before, and hoped that he could repay her in the future for all she was doing. "Hey, so, Zellion. Do you want to meet the rest of my team? Most of them are found in my region, or other's I've been to before, but there's one I've never seen before. You seem to be quite familiar with other region's Pokemon, so... Perhaps you could help me out and meet the team as well?" she questioned. "Sure, I'd be delighted to meet them all." Zellion replied. "Well, I suppose I should get them out then."

Setting her knapsack down, Sleet dug into it, and pulled out Two Pokeballs, and one Luxury Ball. "Well, here ya go then." she said. Tossing them one at a time, the first opened up to reveal Squirt, the second Pokeball belonging to the bird Pokemon that she still didn't know the species of, and from the Luxury Ball, a young Dewgong. Now that Sleet thought of it, she hadn't ever really taken the Dewgong out since Lord Articuno had given the poor thing to her. "Well, I guess we'll see what happens..." she muttered as Squirt and the bird Pokemon eyed each other, Zellion, and then the Dewgong. "So, everyone. This is the team now."

Squirt eyed the Pidove first, wondering if she should try to help the poor bird, and then the Dewgong. She'd seen Seels and Dewgongs before, but never any bird Pokemon that looked quite like this one in front of her now. And then, the Spinda. That just took the poor turtle by surprise. She had wings for Kyogre's Sake! What was she supposed to react like? Just be calm and say, 'Hey, nice wings.'? No way.
Despite the surprise, Squirt didn't really mind all the new members, since Sleet could use the help once they started going further in their journey.
"Well, um. Hi everyone. I'm Squirt..." she said, not quite sure how to go about the introductions.

The minute that the Pidove came out, he immediately squawked and turned to Sleet. "Please, do try to aim less at the trees when releasing me." he said jokingly. Of course, he did mean it, but considering the circumstances under which Sleet allowed him to join her team, he couldn't really complain. A hurt, small bird Pokemon wasn't really an eye catcher, so he was quite happy to have a trainer, even if she wasn't typical.
Looking around at the other Pokemon, he couldn't really decided what to think. Other than that Sleet certainly worked quickly on getting a full on hand team, that is. And a fairy breed at that! "Greetings." he said formally. "It's a pleasure to meet you all."
"Well, now that we're out, we need a name for you. And, for Dewgong." Sleet said, just then realizing she'd forgotten about naming the two.

"Ah, Sleet. I'm guessing that this is the teammate that you couldn't identify. Well, he's known as a Pidove." Zellion piped up. He'd seen a few in the Alternate World flying around, but they were rare there. "They're originally from the Unova region, though, you seem young, so I'm guessing you don't have the best memory of that region before this place?" he asked the Pidove. Yes, I do have a vague recollection of my home before this place, but most of my life has been here in the forest. Sleet simply listened while the two had a small conversation. Or, she was listening until her Dewgong, realizing that there were a lot of people around her that she didn't even know, had a panic attack and tried to crawl into her lap. Of course, when you have a seal Pokemon try to crawl into your lap, it tends to be quite uncomfortable, and this was no exception.

"Ack. Um... Er. Dewlilly. Yeah, Dewlilly. You're kinda squishing me." "Dewlilly?" the Dewgong said tentatively. "I... I like it. Thanks Sleet." she said, smiling a bit. "So... Hi. I'm Dewlilly." she told the others, introducing herself. "Hey Dewlilly. I guess you can be called Dew to, right?" Squirt said, grinning. He loved that all of these Pokemon were now part of their team, since the more, the merrier was something she believed in. "Salutations." the Pidove said merrily, while still keeping his formal attitude. "Hey, you know what." Sleet said suddenly. "I finally figured out a name for you! Hermes!" It was perfect for the little guy, or, she thought so. "I like it." Hermes said, nodding his head. "Well, then I suppose that issue's settled."
