By now Ray knew the woods and mountains by Sagestone pretty well, through the number of times she had ventured into them, she knew were certain territories of pokemon lived, she knew her way around fairly well without a compass and map, and of course, she had already located an idea spot for when she spent her days off roughing it in the woods.
Over the years she had slowly set up a makeshift shelter within the woods, giving her a small nook to come back to whenever she had the chance. It was a nice excuse to get away, and recently she had a lot of reason to get away and clear her head.
Things were more simple out here, you worked most of the day, simply to get yourself through the day, and the only company she had, was the kind of company that she preferred, with her pokemon friends.
Between Sagestone and Sadelwood, as the trees started to get thicker and taller, Ray had discovered a small clearing, with a circle of trees, to the east the mountains could still be seen poking out over the top of the forest, giving her a good center of direction. Three of the trees in the circle were already much larger then the rest, given its species, more commonly found in Sandelwood then Sagestone.
It took some time to clear out and level the ground of the clearing, but as she was finished, it provided a nice place for her to make a small habitat for herself and the others. The trees helped to keep Havoc in, or at least discourage him from running off on his own, though recently she hadn't needed to worry much about that.
about a quarter of the way up the tree, a good seven feet off the ground hung a solid platform that had been built up around the trunk, giving Ray a place to sleep off ground, providing her with more protection in the night if she so chose to do so. More often then not though she would just as soon sleep on the ground with the fire.
The Pokemon who chose to live with her were by now pretty used to this life style and like her found it a great way to get away and enjoy themselves. Double Stripe especially loved being in the forest, Where he declared himself king of the tree tops! much to the annoyance of the wild life in the aria.
It was a cool afternoon, a definite reminder that the colder seasons were quickly approaching them, if the fact that the forest was not bright orange and red as apposed to the usual green.
A tall women, her ash gray hair pulled back behind her head to free up both eyes sat int he clearing by a fire, leaning back against one of the larger rocks that she had dragged into the clearing to serve as sitting stools, one long leg crossed over the other propped up knee. She sat in silence as she carved away at a thick stick of wood. passively tending the fire that was flickering away sending the wafting scent of cooking fish up into the fall air.
By her side a Pikachu sat curled up in a nap, while further down that clearing a large black stallion stood grazing slowly.
Double Stripe paused up in the stree tops, his long body draped along in smooth curves along the branches as he look a moment to glance back, wide eyes at one of the stubby arms he had poking out of his 'shoulders'
Ground level, a thin bug looking pokemon gave a chuckle that had the sing of metal, large black and green eyes turned up to the treetops where the snake pokemon was blended in much better then he was normally in the colors of the season. she replied sarcastically.
The Scizor clamped her claws shut, and crossed them over her chest, around her neck she wore a decorative metal brace, that dipped down over her chest, embedded in the brace was some kind of bright jewel with a number of colors.
She asked with a less then enthusiastic tone.
Double Stripe retorted, his head suddenly popping down from the treetops, bright green eyes seeking out the newest member of their team and frowning at her.
Emith, having spotted the head peeking out at her gave a cocky smirk, and with a sharp sing of metal against metal whipped her wings up across her body.
Double Stripe puffed up his cheeks at her display, flustered before his head disappeared again
Emith snorted again

Food hadn't been a problem since the Jolteon had found his way to the forest; there was an overabundance of prey animals that were dumb and easy to stalk and catch. It didn't taste especially good, perhaps, but it was suitably nutritious for a pokemon of his variety and easy to obtain, so he couldn't complain. Or, rather, shouldn't complain, but nonetheless he was beginning to feel just a bit ornery. The Jolteon rather missed prepared foods and seasonings and variety and he especially missed sweets. There were berries, sure, but it wasn't the same by a long shot.
Naturally, though, that wasn't any kind of reason to go home. Heck, he probably couldn't have gone home even if he wanted to at this point; he had chosen completely at random when selecting a ship upon which to stowaway and a port at which to disembark, and he didn't really know exactly where he was except that there was a town and a long road and a forest. He was here for good so long as his trainer didn't track him.
Still, the food thing was a bit of a bother, and the scent of cooking fish was something like a siren's song to the white Jolteon. He weaved through the trees, following the smell with curiosity and carefulness, paying sharp attention to his direction and the strength of the aroma. The first thing he noticed were the pokemon pair - trained, by the look of them. Keeping watch for intruders such as himself? Not by the sound of their conversation. Still, picking a fight didn't seem quite prudent.
The Jolteon unabashedly strolled into the campsite, disguising his keen caution as cuteness and defenselessness and regarding Ray with innocent interest. Humans tended to be weak to eeveelutions.

It wasn't unusual to have visitors come wandering into the camp, there were in fact a few faces that Ray was used to seeing from time to time, and they never unwelcome.
Breeze was the first to react, his ears twitched and his head jerked up from where he was using Ray's side as a pillow. He could feel the kinetic change in the air as a fellow electric type stepped into the clearing. The motion caused Ray to glance up from the word she was carving, and over to the newbie.
"Huh!" She grunted, her long legs kicking up as she pulled herself into a proper sitting position, sending wood shavings flying from where they had been collecting on her chest. Her half lidded green eyes widened a little, as she fixed the pokemon with a broad smile and lifted her arms up into the air, her carving knife still held in one of them. "Well hi there! Good afternoon and welcome to camp Best Around!" She paused to glance behind him. her arms dropping back down to drape across her lap as she arched a notched eyebrow at the white pokemon. "Jolteon don't usually run around wild in these parts, are you here with a partner?" It looked to be trained at least, and it had a very unnatural color, not quite an albino though.

For all Ray knew, the pokemon could have given her his name, though the truth of the matter would be that she wouldn't ever really know for sure. She had spent time seeing if she could possibly understand the language pokemon seemed to have with one another, but it seemed to be a lot more difficult then even she could comprehend.
Language was one thing, but when one had a bond with their partners, you didn't always need words to communicate. This pokemon however, was one she just met, knew nothing about other than he wasn't being completely honest somehow. It was at least safe to say that the noise following the bark couple have been a sort of greeting, as usually followed pokemon who had been raised with humans. Wild Pokemon- not so much.
"Its nice to meet you too." She said with a broader grin, her eyebrows arching over heavily lidded eyes. "So-" She started, reaching out for one of the fish stuck up on a stick over the fire, pulling it out to test if it was ready "Your timing is a bit off, looks like it could use a bit more time." Sticking it back into the ground Ray leaned forward, draping her long body across the knee that didn't have a Pikachu sitting on it and propping her chin up on her palm. "Why don't we find something to entertain ourselves with to pass the time, hum? What kind of things do you like doing?"

The Jolteon pulled his head back away from the extending fist, eyeing its contents as they were displayed. Blue eyes studied the trainer, searching for any betrayal of malicious intent. He didn't feel that there was any, but he couldn't be sure that her intentions were completely innocent either. How to proceed, then? He could probably grab the prize easily if he used his full speed, but doing so would reveal that he'd had substantial training. He could play the part of a silly, bumbling Jolteon that didn't have good control over its abilities, but the illusion would be broken easily if he went along with the whole hunting thing later.
The electric-type tilted his head to and fro as if trying to determine what the pokeblock was as he considered his options. Eventually he stood, lowered his front half towards the ground and wiggled in anticipation, then pounced at the outstretched hand. It wasn't his full speed, but it was a dexterity that he felt he would be comfortable replicating if he found his movements under further scrutiny.
