I just got done with summer school and I like pain so I'm going to try updating. I'll also be taking like 5 AP classes this year as a senior so please be patient.

Looking around Bryanne followed Treecko until they walked up to an Audino who was passing out blankets.

"Hey, Audino, do you mind taking in one more?" Treecko asked the larger Pokémon.

"Oh, of course, just pick out a tent and I'll be over with some blankets," the pink Pokémon responded with a close-eyed smile. Before walking away and handing a blanket to a Leafeon and their Eevee.

Feeling the mild breeze brush past them, Treecko and Bryanne looked around for a non-occupied tent which was backed near the edge of the encampment. On the bright-side though it had easy access to the lake the encampment was situated next to.

"Guess, we'll call this one," Treecko remarked, looking at the canvas tent up and down.

"So, do we just put our names on it to show it's taken?" Bryanne questioned Treecko.

"We can, but I'm pretty sure Pokémon can already smell we took this place," Treecko answered, before Audino came by with blankets.

"Alright, here's a blanket for you," Audino cheerfully chirped, handing a blanket to Treecko before turning to Bryanne. "And one for you," Audino again chirped, Bryanne looked up at Audino cautiously before gently removing the blanket from Audino's outstretched hand.

"Thank you," Bryanne replied shyly, looking at the blanket.

"You're welcome," Audino replied before going down the row of tents, "we'll see you guys at dinner then," Audino said looking behind her to wave a small goodbye.

Awkwardly, Bryanne looked at Treecko before entering the tent setting up her placemat and blanket. Not knowing what to do to pass the time Bryanne laid back looking at the canvas ceiling before looking down at her hands.

"So, where ya from?" Treecko asked as he was posed laying on his side with a hand propping his head up.

"Shoot, should I come up with a fake story or not?" Gulping Bryanne made up her mind to tell the truth, "ok, all I can tell you is that I was a human, I fell asleep, had a strange dream, and bam I'm a Cyndaquil." Bryanne fidgeted with her hands giving emphasis on her becoming a Cyndaquil.

"Well, shoot in the dark and call me Terrakion, that sounds like crazy talk," Treecko chuckled to himself a little. Bryanne again looked shocked at Treecko's callous words.

"I'm being serious," Bryanne replied firmly, giving Treecko a tired look.

"Alright, alright, I'll believe you for now," Treecko sighed trying to diffuse the situation.

"Ok," was all that Bryanne could say as the wall between the two of them held up firmly.

"Well, let's go get some dinner. We'll report your situation to the local adventurer's guild in the morning, ok?" Treecko promised, holding out a three-fingered hand to the cyndaquil.

"Alright," Bryanne accepted, grabbing Treecko's hand, for the second time.

Walking through camp it was an amalgamation of pokemon that lived in the area with most being adult pokemon with their kids. Just as Bryanne and Treecko had come to the center where they had walked in earlier. The chime of a Chimecho signaled dinner time causing a line to form at a tent giving out berry rations for the night.

Treecko and Bryanne got to the back of the line before it got too long having to settle, getting squished between an Aggron and a Rapidash with their foal. The Aggron looked down, surprised to see the two of them there, "goodness, I didn't see ya there," the Aggron said in a smooth female voice, which caught Bryanne off guard.
