"Go on, I'll keep an eye on all the pokemon and make sure they behave," Astrid said as she too encouraged Benjamin to go with Penelope. Hopefully the younger woman could get him to relax a bit and listen to their argumentations, so both he and his pokemon could get happier. Her legs were too sore for her to go shopping with them anyway. She opened her trolley and found her applechips, before she clicked out the built in seat and sat down. "So does anyone want a snack?" She asked and shook the bag smiling, "then I hope we can try figure what to do with Benjamin," she said warmly.
Benjamin reluctantly let himself got lead away by Penelope. It was an awefully long break from their crucial training, but if it of course could get them back on track in the end, it wouldn't be completely wasted. "It is nice of you to try help me out, Penelope, but if I don't get back to training soon, I won't win the battle," he sighed. With no pokemon near by and with the happy and helpful Penelope as his only company, he dared to speak a bit more openly about his fears. "To be honest, I don't know what to do with them. Perhaps I should just sell the whole bunch and start from scratch, he said disheartened.
"Is she really your trainer? Isn't she a bit old?" Alomomola asked cyan and Placido, the latter shrugged. "Perhaps, but it just means everything goes in a slower pace. We are battling too of course, but we do a lot of other things too, so it isn't the place to be if you want to battle really seriously."[/b] Placido explained and Cyan nodded eagerly beside him. "Ella says she wants to travel and be with her grandchildren, and we plays a lot too," Cyan said happily, having completely forgotten his uncomfort earlier. "Who's Ella?" Asked Alomomola, and Cyan started to explain but got distracted by the chance of applechips. Those are good! He exclaimed and ran off. Alomomola shouted after him and asked him to take some back to him as well, which the mudkip agreed to with another shout. Placido started to answer the pink water type's question about Astrid and her team.

"I am a new trainer so I don't know how to answer that question! I think you will have to think about that on your own. You could think about this question while we walk back to the beach? Or even while we're eating? They're your Pokemon, and you guys have some memories and bonds together, but ultimately what's best for all of you is not something I can help. Perhaps talk with your Pokemon? Ohh.. there's some nice red tomatoes," Penelope answered the man, while picking up fruits and vegetables that she thinks all three trainers' Pokemon might like. Then, she went over and picked up some potato chips, candies, salad, cheese, biscuits, crackers, breads, as well as beverages, water, fruit juices, berry juices, and sodas. And of course, the watermelons that she had tasked Benjamin to carry them. After splitting the pay with the man, the two began walking back toward the beach, while Benjamin's hands were heavy carrying the watermelons, and his minds heavy thinking about what to do with his Pokemon.
Returning back to the beach, Scatterbug poked the Bellsprout, that now they have food, and made their way slowly back. Meanwhile, the Marill and Bunnelby saw the food, but had fun bouncing on the sand on their way back, slowly, while splashing up the sand everywhere.

Astrid happily gave out her snack and since they were so popular (Cyan attempted to get half the package just for himself and his friends) it was soon empty. She looked at them smilingly and sighed a bit. "What a lot of trouble, I guess you do not like the way of life he is giving you, so the question is how to try solve that problem?" She said out loud and Alomomola looked thoughtfully at her. "She's nice, but a bit too naive I fear. I don't think he will ever change," he said defeated. "So you are just going to give up?" Placido asked, and the fish shook his head. "No, not yet at least. I can't live like that, I want to do more than just fight, but I guess my only other option is to get doomed to a life in a pokeball, if my trainer finds me too difficult." Cyan looked at him with wide eyes and then handed him one of his own apple chips in an ettempt to cheer him up. Alomomola smiled wryly as he took it.
Benjamin was quiet for therest of the trip, taking up the advice that Penelope had offered, that he had to think about the question. He carried whatever she handed him, as long as he had a free arm to actually hold it, and followed her back to the beach, just as silent as before.
Astrid got up on her feet and helped them prepare the picnic in whatever way she could that wouldn't require her to get down and crawl around on the ground. She sat down on her trolley when they were finished and looked at Benjamin who had turned towards the pokemon. "Alright, listen up as this is important. None of you are going to get anything to eat, before I'm done!" He said in a commanding tone and Astrid looked worried at him, and glanced at Penelope. Did she know what was going on? Was it something she had said to him? Alomomola's expression darkened and he looked tiredly at his trainer. "As you know I have an important battle comming up, and the amount of work you are putting into it is destroying all my chances. This can't continue! I have therefore decided to give you an ultimatum, that you will either pull yourself together and I will promise you to make you the best there ever is, and to properly celebrate our victory together when all the hard work has been done. If not, our partnership ends here and I'll find you new homes." A deafening silence was heard afterwards and Astrid simply gaped at Benjamin. That was not the solution she had expected.
A low buzzing was heard as the ledyba slowly rose from the ground and flew to him. He looked at it with a raised eyebrow and it clapped its hands together determined. Benjamin smiled pleased and looked at the others. Alomomola avoided his, and splashed a bit with a fin in the water. "Do you think your trainer would like to take me too?" He mumbled and Placido and Cyan looked surprised at him. "I'm sure she will run for the opportunity," Placido grinned as Cyan began to jump up and down to attract Astrid's attention.

After returning to the beach with Benjamin, Penelope wasn't prepared for the man to come up with an answer so quick. She listened to the man as he talked about what will happen with his relationship with his Pokemon. It seemed apparently though, that the man had chosen victory over his relationship with his Pokemon. Then, the Ledyba flew over to support the man right away. She smiled at the bug Pokemon, at least he won't be alone on this ordeal. After that, everyone was quiet for a bit.
The Marill and Bellsprout had arrived too, for the food, of course. But they weren't prepared to hear what the man was saying. The Marill quickly shook her hand as a disagreement with Benjamin, and picked up a potato chip to eat. Smiling happily at the tastiness of such food. The Bellsprout, however, wasn't sure what to do yet, and even poked at the Marill, whispering to her what was she thinking! Zuroy shook her head, and took another chip, and commented that this man was too strict, and she'll be fine by herself alone anyways. The Bellsprout sighted, and posed a pondering look, thinking what to do.
Penelope looked at her Bunnelby and the Marill, and then asked Marill if she wanted to leave the man. The water type nodded, and this time took a baby carrot and ate it. Penelope looked sadly at Benjamin, wondering how he would react, and then, Bunnelby patted the Marill, and joined in for a baby carrot.

The alomomola looked surprised at the two pokemon who were willing, no eager to try get him on their team, even though they had only met and barely knew each other. He was touched by their friendliness. "I don't think she can see me," Cyan said as his jumping didn't caught Astrid's attention, she was too busy staring shocked at Benjamin. "That's because you have turned invisible," Placido said dryly and Cyan looked excited down himself, "really?!" "No, I'm just joking," Placido sighed theatrical the pink fish laughed as the whismur suggested the mudkip should run to Astrid and try make her understand their wish. Alamomola looked thoughtful after him. "Why?" He asked quietly. "Do you want a long heartfelt and tragic story, where you is the chosen one to save our whole team? Or can you accept something as simple as we think you are a fun guy and wants to help you away from that monster?" Placido asked back wryly and Alomomola smiled. "I'm fine with the last," he answered gratefully.
"What is it Cyan," Astrid asked confused as the mudkip jumped up and down in front of her. "Do you want some more food," he shook his head vigorously, "or to you friends?" another headshake. She looked frowning as Cyan pointed at Benjamin, who was looking seriously at the remaining pokemon he needed answers from, and to the alomomola, waiting in the water. "Well, I'm waiting," he said impatiently, and Alomomola moved a bit backwards shaking his head slowly. Benjamin's face darkened. "Are you saying you wont stay with me?" He asked and Alomomola avoided his eyes as he slowly nodded. Benjamin gasped as he apparently hadn't thought it would really be a possibility. "I'll find you a new home then," he said and found a pokeball which he used to recall the fish without any other warning. Both Cyan and Placido started to shout and point wildly at Benjamin, trying frantically to make their and the alomomola's wish clear to her. "Calm down, I can not understand you this way," Astrid said sternly and looked as her two pokemon continued to point pleadingly at Benjamin, who was staring troubled at the pokeball in his hand, which were clenching it. Astrid frowned as she got an gist of what they meant. "Are you saying, that it would like to stay with you two?" She asked slowly and was rewarded with eager nodded. Cyan placed his front paws on her leg and looked beggingly at her. "If it is your friend, I see now problem," she said with a warm smile and Cyan danced around her happily, while Placido exhaled relieved.
"Oh Benjamin, what do you want for the alomomola? My two pokemon has formed a friendship with it and would like to have him around. If you are looking to rehome him, I am willing to take him off your hands," She said politely and he clenched his teeth as he looked at her. "But are you sure about this?" She asked worried as he did not look happy about it at all. "He has made his choice," he said painfully before she gave him the amount of money he wanted for it. "I have other pokemon, I were just hunting for him for a while and thought he shared my dreams," Benjamin said sadly. Then his face hardened, "but if he doesn't want to work for it, I have no room for him anyway." "I see," Astrid said slowly and found her purse to see if she had enough money on her.

After seeing both the Marill and Alomomola decided to depart Benjamin, the Bellsprout gave in, joining in with the others eating and avoiding looking directly at Benjamn. Narctar wasn't quite happy with the strict trainer anyways, and could see how much more relaxed and cheerful with either Penelope or Astrid. However, seeing as it was the Scatterbug who got along with him first, he used a leaf to tug onto the Scatterbug, like they were hugging.
Benjamin noticed this too, and took that as the Bellsprout was interested in leaving too. "Alright, it looks like it's just you and me, bud." He looked at the Ledyba, smiling. "We'll just start from scratch and find some new teammates! I guess we can consider this a farewell party?!"

Astrid looked surprised at Benjamin when he changed to be happy about all his pokemon leaving him, except the ledyba of course. She wondered if he really was fine with it, or if it was just an act, that he pretended that everything was fine. "I guess you are fine with it then," Astrid said a bit hesitant and Benjamin beamed at her. She was still uncertain if he truly was happy. "Of course I am!" He answered cheerfully, "I just remembered that my rival's strongest pokemon is an ivysaur, where Ledyba here will be the perfect match tear up that weed and give us the victory!" He looked excited at the ledyba, who grinned back. "As for the rest of his team, it will be a good opportunity to train while finding good members for our team."Astrid watched him as he and the ledyba worked each other up on the challenge they had before them. It sounded like he really was happy about it, which she found weird. "So what will you do with the others?" Astrid asked Benjamin kindly and wondered worried if she would have to take them all, and try find good homes for the others or something. The alomomola looked like he didn't belive his eyes when Benjamin handed over his pokeball and got money from the old woman instead. Placido said something to him, which he didn't hear and Cyan came bouncing back and jumped around happily, shouting something about a celebration party. He was free! Perhaps he would even get a chance to have a bit of fun as well. Alomomola Name: Mads Gender: Male Level: 5 Moves: Pound, Water Sport, Aqua Ring Ability: Healer Nature/Personality: Impish. Mads is a fun guy who has all the ideas and likes to tease and make fun with others, and see no problem as long as no-one gets hurt. In battle he prefers to support others instead of going for the spotlight himself.

After handing over the Alomomola, Benjamin saw how his other Pokemon were quite close with Penelope's Pokemon, and then handed the Bellsprout and Marill's Pokeball as well. She was a bit surprised by this gesture. He thanked her for helping, even if it was just setting up the picnic or just telling him to think about the decision himself. Ultimately, he had decided to release his other Pokemon by giving them to Penelope, except the Ledyba of course.
And with that, he still had his mind on his rival, but now he would have to train extra hard and find new teammates. He and his Ledyba ate happily, but at a pace just a bit faster than Astrid and Penelope. He looked like he was getting ready to get out of this picnic and go back to the wild! "Alright, thanks everyone for your help so far! So long and see you! Wish you the best!" He commented once more, and looked at his Ledyba as he ate some food to fill up.
OOC: you can finish this lol.

Astrid couldn't help but wonder how Benjamin could be so happy and excited about his pokemon wanting to leave him, but perhaps it was just because he was relieved all the frustration was over and wanted to look forward rather than keep hanging in the past. She looked thoughtful at the male trainer and hoped that was true, and that he didn't just ignore all his past without learning anything from it. "It was a pleasure," Astrid answered Benjamin politely when he thanked for their help, though she doubted it had helped him much at all. She watched him as he left with his ledyba, at least those two were eager and motivated to work for their goal, she looked at the other pokemon and smiled. The alomomola looked like he was quite pleased with his new friends and from Astrid's guess, the marill and bellsprout looked to be content as well. It was probably for the better.
Astrid wasn't in any hurry to finish the picknic and she would relax and enjoy it as long as Penelope too, wanted to hang out with her and let their pokemon enjoy a bit of relaxation as well. Time came when they needed to head back and Astrid did what she could to help gather the things from their picnic before she had her goodbyes to Penelope and slowly made her way back towards Cherrygrove. She stayed as close to the sea for as long time as she could, to give Mads, as she had called the pink fish, as much time outside as possible with Cyan and Placido.
On her way back her pokemon heard a whining, which Astrid's ears were too bad to notice at first, and they led her to a little black pokemon, who was tied to a tree. It was a poochyena, and the little pup was clearly happy to get some attention, though it wasn't underweigth. Astrid's pokemon understood from its tale, that it had just recently been abandoned and it didn't like to be out here all by itself. When Astrid tried a pokeball on it to see if it had an owner, it was easily captured, much to her surprise. She took it back to the City and learned that nobody were looking for it and was told to keep it herself. Poochyenas wasn't natural in these areas and could be quite destructive for the environment.
[img]http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite/261.png[/img] Poochyena Name: Viktoria Gender: Female Level: 3 Attacks: Tackle Ability: Quick Feet Nature/Personality: Bold. Victoria just wants to be social and loved, and demands it if she doesn't think she gets what is rightfully hers. She is proud and has had a good education, which of course means that she has the right to demand and order others around if so needed.
The alomomola and the poochyena to Astrid, the fish has already been moved, but not removed from Penelope's box. Could the poochyena be moved directly to Aglaia's box please?
