[It definitely was a trip up there. He didn't really expect it to be that much of a workout, but he also doesn't seem to mind at all. Especially once they reach the top, when the air is heavier and warmer...
Just the atmosphere helps him relax.]
Alright, alright!
[He does what she recommends. His shoes and socks are coming right off, so he can run right over to the spring to dip his feet in. That definitely feels way better already.]
[ Good, you better not have minded it! Blue made sure they were all nicely prepared and had good food to keep them going! The hot springs may be a little similar to the one that Red had soaked in on Mt. Silver, having curative properties to them. Good stuff. At least it's good water one way or another.
While he's soaking his feet, Blue takes the time to look through her bag. There's actually a bit she was carrying, some materials needed to make a campfire and the saucepan for cooking. But that's all for much later, when she's had a thorough soak.
Which she comes over to join Red to do, plopping herself down with some folded towels between them. She rolls up her leggings after taking off her socks and shoes because heck yeah, she's putting her legs in too. ]
Ahhhh- this place is so good!
[ She chuckles, arching her back in and puffing out her chest to once more stretch. Her legs push against the water, but only a bit. ]
[He did just meet her, but... it'd definitely be a good bonding experience! Especially with how nice the water feels currently. How was he supposed to refuse such a relaxing offer?]
I wouldn't mind! I don't think the others would really mind me stepping out for a week, anyway.
If you really want to! [ She laughs, lifting out a leg from the water to hold up before letting it back in. ] You can get back to the village pretty easy if you ever need to.
Yep! Plus it helps with getting stronger. I know I haven't felt my best since coming here, but it was like that before too.
[Either way... right! He nods.]
Nah, they won't mind it. C'mon out, guys!
[He'll bring them all out! Poli, Pika, and Saur all crowd around him. They look excited, but they don't really know what to do, other than just kinda... relax.]
[ Oh, he hasn't felt his best? She would ask, but that'll have to wait. They have guests! ]
Hi there! [ And Blue can't help but to drag her feet out of the water. It's very likely she's already seen them after so long (dinner times and all), but that doesn't mean she can't be excited all over again! ]
Are any of you peckish? I brought berries from the farm. I didn't know what any of you would like, so I've got a selection.
Only because I've been doing this for long enough. [ And you know hat, she's come back with a bag of trail mix with some raisins and chocolate drops mixed in. She's holding it open to Red. ] Hungry?
Hmmm, not just here. The village is nice, but I like wandering around. [ There's some amusement in her voice ] I guess I don't have anything better to do like you.
[ Hey hey you other guys, would you like to take a dip into the bag? Plenty to share! ]
Coming up the mountain too much would probably be too much though. Bags aren't easy to carry with you when you've got a pair of wings on your back! [ At that, the little pair on her flutter. ]
Yep! I've already got a few things for us here! [ Heheh. ] But since we were climbing up I knew it'd take us a while, so I couldn't dump everything here in advance.
And if you really want to stay a while, we'll be more than prepared for it. I know there's a cave over that way [ she points to a direction ] we can set up our stuff away from the heat.
[ Look, she's getting up! ] I should let out my guys too anyway. [ Hey hey, Red's pals!! ] Hey, Poli and Saur, would you mind helping us with our bags?

[Plus learning about other trainers is good.]
Really? I don't have a flying pokemon or anything to fly back with.
no subject
No problem. [ She leans towards him, pointing to an object over in his direction. ] Do you see that metal structure over there? Near the wall?
[ The steam might make it hazy with the distance, buuut...! ]
no subject
But he does look, squinting his eyes a bit... oh!]
Yeah! What is it?

Why don't you let your friends out? Do you think they'll mind the heat?

Nah, they won't mind it. C'mon out, guys!

Regardless, he still eats them, chilling with just his tail in the water next to Red.]
You're really prepared for everything, huh?

[He'll go ahead and put a hand in, grabbing a handful of the mix to start picking at it.]
You make this trip a lot, right?

Makes sense. [He moves his own in return. Yeah, they are pretty weird.]
I know even having my normal backpack on s'pretty weird. So carrying all this up...
[Yep... probably a pain.]
Could you just use the teleporter?

And if you really want to stay a while, we'll be more than prepared for it. I know there's a cave over that way [ she points to a direction ] we can set up our stuff away from the heat.

[At least she prepared some stuff!]
Really? Sure! We could set that up now, if you wanna. It'd probably be easier to get it out of the way now.

[He laughs... he wants to soak his feet for a bit longer. But uh...]
If you wanna! I could go start setting it up while you're in, if you want.

[ Look, she's getting up! ] I should let out my guys too anyway. [ Hey hey, Red's pals!! ] Hey, Poli and Saur, would you mind helping us with our bags?
[ She looks to Red. ] Is that okay?
[ Cheekily bossing around his pokémon...! ]
no subject
[But she's already up. Uh...]
Yeah, it's fine! They don't mind, right guys?
[Yep they look pretty content with moving stuff! No worries. Muscles and vines make moving stuff incredibly easy, after all.]
