Nora’s trip from Castelia to Striaton had already hit a snag. After an unusually hot Unovan summer, a dangerous blizzard was forecast, leaving the girl and her team to travel on foot. She kept Nickel out for company, battling any weak looking trainers on the way. They ran into some trouble when a strange looking trainer dressed in a uniform with a black, white and blue ‘P’ emblem offered them berries, telling them how it would keep them warm in the falling temperature. Not recognising the berries, Nora could only assume they were Unova natives and foolishly accepted, feeding some to Nickel. The Mankey quickly became sluggish and that’s when the grunt attempted to strike. Nora and her Aerodactyl took out the perpetrator’s Pokemon extremely easily before the trainer gave the grunt a few punches of her own. Nursing bloody knuckles, Nora slung Nickel over her back and broke into a jog towards the nearest town. Entering Nimbasa City, Nora frantically looked around for someone, anyone but the streets were scarce as snow continued to cover the ground. Finally, she spotted a short dark-haired man. Hoisting the limp Nickel up her back, Nora called out to the person before crunching through the snow to them.

  Luckily, despite the weather, some shops were still open. Particularly the ones that sold all the food he needed for his Pokemon. His hands were filled. Perhaps that was a bad decision, as it’d slow him down. But there were still some pretty good deals. As no one could get out to actually buy anything, they lowered the prices for him, causing Osvaldo to buy more.

  Packed down with a scarf and heavy coat, the full-armed male trudged through the snow, heading back to his shop/home. Well, that was until he’d heard someone calling out for him. Or, at least, he assumed they were calling for him.

  What someone was doing out in this weather was beyond him. Unless they were like him in the aspect of wanting a good deal. But, they were headed his way. It wasn’t until he heard what the female was saying that he actually reacted.

She lifted the egg incubator up onto the table, careful as not to jostle the Pokemon egg inside. Ever since she had gotten the egg only a night or two prior, she had been very careful as to not damage the Pokemon inside, whatever that Pokemon may be.

  “And what do we have here?” He mused quietly, looking down at the incubator. It wasn’t the first time someone came in wanting their egg checked out. It was, however, the first time someone came in wanting to know what was inside their egg. The idea that perhaps she’d taken the egg chimed into his head, but the female didn’t seem like the type. Besides, he hadn’t heard from that Team whatever in a long while.

  “I’d be happy to help.” Osvaldo responded, leaning in to look at the egg. Hearing the sound of an unfamiliar voice, the tall male’s Furret had come from the back and hopped onto the counter. “This is Enchilada, by the way.” He added without looking up. It was a slightly odd name for a Furret, but it was cute to him. The Pokemon observed the incubator, sniffing it a few times before turning her attention to the stranger.

Diane never particularly liked abandoning the Mistralton Gym unexpectedly. Of course, she herself was rarely in the Gym, but she was always nearby, so Trainers, or other people who were looking for her could do so with ease. But it seems as if plans would have to change for the day. Diane did make precautions of course, she told a few people at the Cargo Service she’d be gone for the day. The night prior, a Pokemon egg was left on her doorstep. Diane did her due diligence, nobody had sent it to her, there was no note, nobody was missing an egg, or had a Pokemon that seemed to recognize the egg. So far Diane had no idea where it came from, who delivered it, or what was inside. Considering being in the absolute dark was somewhat annoying, Diane decided to look for answers.

This wasn’t the first time Diane had been gifted an egg in the past. A few months prior some people in Mistralton banded together to get her a Mantyke egg for her 16th birthday in order to cheer her up. After asking around a little bit, she got the name of the Breeder who had given them the egg in the first place. Somebody named Osvaldo Brandt, off of Route 16. Recycling her old Egg incubator she had kept from raising her Mantyke’s egg, she gently placed the Pokemon inside, and prepared for her quick trip out of town.

Diane had left early in the morning, knowing it’d take a few hours to get from Mistralton to the Eastern side of Nimbasa on foot. Chargestone cave was always easier to navigate leaving Mistralton than going, so she got to Driftveil with relative ease. Nimbasa was a bit harder, it’s large city structure, plenty of events and buildings made it difficult for her to navigate just by the sheer energy of the place. Finally, she emerged through the other side mid afternoon, a little frazzled, but otherwise rather intact. After that, it was easy enough to find the ranch, after all finding a ranch as big as described on a small Route like Route 16, it wasn’t a herculean feat to say the least.

Finally stepping inside to the ranch in question, the Incubator with her egg inside firmly held from it’s bottom in front of her chest, she looked around the place.

  That break didn't last long, though. Because right after he got situated in the back, someone came in. Work was never really done for this young man. Hopping up, the black-haired male came from around back to greet the customer, after hearing her call into the store. There were a few things scattered around in the back, due to his lack of time to clean up, so he stumbled into the opening as ungracefully as possible.

  "Agh--Hey there!" He quickly tried to cover up his "amazing" entrance. He'd have to remember to clean that up a little later. But for the time being, his sights were set on this customer. Or someone who just didn't know where they were. That happened a couple of times. It was a confusing experience. Regardless, business was immenent and he had to get to work, so the male leaned onto the counter to keep from any more mishaps that could happen.

FURRET learned REST!

done during my current stream! come say hello! :)
