Moon Blast!

"N-no no, don't worry! I mean, they won't die, we just need to find a uh... a lamp! Cause you know, that's what people with pet lizards do, right? Just a really hot lamp!" Jayden's face falls once she sees the worried glances that the gardener gives to her cactus. Standing over her, she extends one arm within the purple-haired girl's reach. "Come on, we'll go find something!"

Her eyes drift to the boot as well. "Oh, sure!" she says with no hesitance in response to Umiko's request, delivering the boot to her with her boundless energy. "Here you go!" She plops down on the bed beside her, having discovered from her map that it would be her bed. Sitting on the edge, she faces the girl with a smile. "I guess we're sleeping beside eachother, Umi! I wonder how this is all gonna work out, I can't imagine sleeping in a room with seven other people. It'd be like one of those giant sleepovers where you can't everyone to shut up until like, 5am!"

Currently Subaru was interested in looking at the kitchen. It was a good chance to check on the supplies after all and perhaps just the place for a secret door… hehe, just kidding! But you could never be too thorough, right? But hm… she couldn’t help but imagine this would go smoother with someone else by her side. With little warning, she went for the sleeve or wrist (given she could usually reach it) of the next passerby and slid her head to her shoulder in what she tried to make an endearing way. "Hey, hey, okay, so I wouldn’t usually ask this of you but do you wanna come with? Two heads exploring are better than one, right? What would Naruto be without Sasuke after all, right?"

She moves to extend her hand, pausing right as she recalls Sayuri telling her that they don't do that in Japan. "I guess we should introduce ourselves, though! I'm Jayden Phillips, and I'm from America. I'm also the Super High School Level Pokemon Player!" she announces, hoping that in place of a handshake, a big smile will suffice. 

The door was finally right in front of her, finally ready to free her from this nightmare… it was locked. She put Togemura in one of her arms while jostling the knob with the other. Getting more frustrated with each failed attempt, she opted to be bit more forceful. Hugging Togemura tightly, the gardener shakily lifted her heavy boots off the floor, and meekly kicked her exit route, all the while her voice was straining as she yelped. “No… no no no. Noooo… grah! Come *pant* on *pant*  let me *pant* out! GRAH!” She gave up when she finally slammed against the stubborn structure and slid down its face. Her frustration led to her slamming her friend on the ground next to her, and pulling her hair as she sulked. They were trapped here, and she was the idiot. “A-at least I tried. I didn’t just g-give up. I had s-some hope… despair my ass.” She whispered under her breath. Finally looking up to wipe the few tears from her eyes, Sayuri made out a figure coming at her; no doubt it was to make her wilt more than she already was.

The end of her trek brings her to a door, one which she sees a familiar purple-haired girl slumped down in front of. "Sayuri! ...and Cactus!" She walks faster now, stopping in front of the girl. "Why are you sitting in front of the door? We have beds now... if you're tired, you can go there..." Worry colors her blue eyes, wondering why she's so concerned for someone she just met. Someone on the other team, no less. But this time, it isn't about winning or losing, it's about getting them all out of here. And Jayden knows pretty darn well how to carry a team to safety.

Her boot forgotten, Umiko fell into a state of introspection, delaying her sleep even though it was the reason she’d gone straight to the dorms in the first place.

She shakes her head, no, no bad thoughts! Things would be alright soon enough, she tells herself while stepping into the dorm. A quick glance tells her that the entire team would be sleeping here, and she also sees Umiko! She wastes no time in dashing to the girl, standing over her with a hand waving viciously. "Hello, Umi!" Jayden coos, bringing her fingers to her face and smiling. "Woww, this is all really weird isn't it?" She tugs at the bottom of her sweater with her free hand. "I mean, those guys aren't real, are they? Are they people wearing boxes on their heads, or what? I guess you know would know if they're cryptos, but they can't be! I mean, there's nowhere in nature to plug a tv into!"

But... he's the first to actually seem intrigued! Or he's at least playing along. She hopes it's the first. "Well, I mean, there's more than animals... ah, but a falconer? That's really cool, actually! So, uh, you would like Gale Wings Talonflame!" Jayden claps her hands together quickly, a big grin pointed directly at the falconer. "Cause, Gale Wings is an ability that gives all flying type moves priority, so it's like one of the fastest ones out there. Just like your birds, I'm sure! Since you're a Super High School Level and all."

"Uh... hey!" she barks at him, trying to recapture his attention. "What's your title? I'm the Super High School Level Pokemon Player!" She begins bouncing on her toes again, hoping that her smile would become contagious to him, even just a tiny bit.

Ryosuke rolled his shoulders, stretched, and slowly paced down the hallway, his face stern and concentrated. He was prepared for a fight.

It's at that moment that she notices someone new entering the large room, a sharply-dressed boy that doesn't seem to be too much taller than her. Someone that she could strike up a conversation with, without the risk of interrupting another! The girl makes her way to him a little too hurriedly, stopping abruptly just feet before him. "Hello!" she beams, one hand waving rapidly and a huge smile plastered on her face. "I'm Jayden Phillips, I'm from America! What's your name?"

"Hiya!" she greets the girl loudly, stopping right before her, just in time to avoiding bumping into her. And, more importantly, her cactus. Not only does she hold it as if it's something precious, but Jayden can't seem to imagine that falling onto a cactus would be fun at all. She glances down on it, wanting to make a quip about it being just like a maractus, but it hits her all that once that she's never seen a maractus that was actually good, so she decides it's not worth mentioning. "Nice cactus!" she says earnestly, but the validity of that comment would surely be up to the purple-haired girl's discretion. "I'm Jayden, Jayden Phillips", she announces, holding one arm extended proudly with palm outward. "What's your name?"

Finally settling down from her tangent, her eyes widen once Izumi mentions the word 'firebreather'. "A firebreather?! No way, that's so cool..! I never thought I would meet someone with that cool of a talent here!" With the new knowledge in mind, she glances the girl over again, suddenly wondering about the implications of the bandages decorating her arm. However, interest in the firebreather's hair is completely renewed. "Oh man, you're totally like a shiny ninetales! That's a compliment, by the way. They're one of only four Pokemon that have the drought ability so they're super special, and they're really pretty too! Your hair totally looks like their mane, and they breathe fire too!"

She's humming to herself, mind wandering away as she tugs on the bottom of her sweater. But Umiko's next words immediately catch her attention, and her face falls tremendously. "Oh... you haven't? Well, I'll just have to show you sometime! I'm sure I'll be playing a lot in my spare time, after all!" She smiles again, so brightly that one would never guess that just a few moments ago Umiko's words had brought her down in the first place. "And yeah, it's getting kinda weird just standing around waiting," she eventually agrees with a nod.

"Thanks, I love your hair too!" She brings her hands to her face so quickly that the little slap! echoes through the gymnasium just a bit. "An undercut... that's really cool..." she utters quietly to herself, before standing up straight and bringing her hands to rest in front of her. "Oh! I guess we should exchange our titles too. I'm the Super High School Level Competitive Pokemon Player!"

She makes her way over to the girl so quickly that her sneakers screech as she tries to stop herself, regaining her balance in the nick of time before falling into the other girl. "H-hi!" She says, taking a few deep breaths after her sprint and near face plant. But after her brief seconds of recuperation, she thrusts a hand forward, palm out and ready for a shake. "I'm Jayden Phillips from America, nice to meet you!"

"Ooh-mee-ko..." she pronounces slowly, eyes glued to the ceiling as she muses over it thoughtfully. "That's a really pretty name! Your whole name is pretty! And cryptozoologist... you study like, myths and stuff right?" She claps her hands together quickly, almost leaving the floor once she bounces on her toes yet again. "Oh man, there are so many Pokemon based on cryptos, you know? Like, um, um..." Putting her index finger to her chin thoughtfully, she whines a bit before her eyes regain their sparkle. "Nessie! Is like... Shell Armor Lapras, right? Cause... Shell Armor prevents critical hits, and no one's ever really seen it up close. Because if someone saw it, that would be like, a critical hit to its safety, right?" With her mouth covered again, this time with both hands, she giggles while taking a step back. "I guess it's obvious now, but I'm the Super High School Level Competitive Pokemon Player!"
