Rating: G/PG
Log: It had been a very eventful introduction to Johto. She had seen and experienced things on her first day that she'd never encountered before in her short fifteen years! The technology was fascinating, but it was the Pokemon that captured Katara's interest about the place. It couldn't be helped, without her bending she really needed something to focus on. It was just lucky that Kishi managed to fill the void that her powers left behind.

It didn't hurt that someone mentioned their powers might only be suppressed and not totally gone, either, that helped a LOT actually.

She'd caught a lot of new additions for her team, made friends with Heiji, Claire, and met several others along the way. She even had a gift for Sokka! Heh, wouldn't he be surprised, or so she hoped!

As she left the Pokemon Center where she'd taken residence the last few days, partly to help defend and partly because it was obviously the place to go to take care of her Pokemon during it all.

She sighed quietly, running a hand in her hair. She had worn her trainer class clothes the day before so she could wash her outfit from home. She was dressed as she had been the day of the invasion, minus her arm guards, which were in her bag at the moment. She had something carefully wrapped and bundled up inside of it since she wasn't sure yet if they'd be staying overnight so Sokka could rest-- or making straight for Violet. She was hoping on the prior, a chance to say goodbye for the time being to Heiji, see if Claire wanted to go with them, stop by the Pokemart and say goodbye to Mordecai-- the clerk --and all the others that were still around.

Not to mention Sokka was probably going to be starving and tired and she wouldn't object at all to taking it easy with him for now.

So there she stood at the exit to Cherrygrove, the start of Route thirty. Her Ponyta, Jet, was standing at her side just in case any other bugs were lurking about. They'd all fought really hard the last few days.

"Be alright, Sokka..." She muttered softly to herself, hoping he'd show up as planned.

Sokka was tired. He'd been tired for days now, with barely getting any rest due to the constant onslaught of bugs, and without anybody to share shifts with. So were his pokémon. Cudgel, his Cubone, sat on his backpack and rested her bone mask on his shoulder as they stepped into the town. He could tell by the music, at least, that at least there would not be any more random encounters besides the bugs. If there were still bugs. But either way, he felt about ready to fall over and tried his best not to look the part, even if a few nights of next to no sleep had done a number on him. On his outfit as well, because the good water tribe clothes he'd had on when he arrived were stained in any number of places, in some disarray, and had taken several scratches and cuts.

Tiredly he blinked a few times to try and get his eyes to focus as he looked around for Katara. Who... he might've already passed, but hey. Y'know. Happens to the best of us!

It was entirely possible to miss her, because Katara had called out Kishi to lean on while she was waiting, and the bigger of the two of them had dozed off with Kishi's head on the ground. If it wasn't for Jet Sokka would've gone right past them both! He saw the tired trainer wandering into town and gave a loud whiney, causing Katara to look his way.

"Jet? What is it?"

She moved to get to her feet, peering over Kishi's shell with an excited look dawning on her face.

"Sokka! You made it!"

She rounded Lapras in a moment's notice, moving around to face him and pull him into a hug before she even took notice of the state of his clothes. Sorry if Jet gave you a heart attack.
