[&] Backtracking!

[Rhythm]

Moze returned to Route Three, heading back towards Jesterfeild, thinking of the upcoming Gym battle she was to have with Alyssa Cobalt. Suddenly she realized it was getting dark. She looked at the slowly rising moon for a minute, then released Mars. "Hello, bud." She said, smiling.

Kiss and Touchstone, who were following Moze, also greeted the owl pokemon. <Hi! Hi!> Kiss said loudly, before running to catch up with Moze, as she had fallen behind. Touchstone smiled. <Hello, Mars.> He said. Mars greeted them with a hearty <Hello!> Before flying higher and circling them, watching.

Since it was getting darker, not alot of pokemon were around. There were the distant noises of pokemon calling to each other, but other than that, nothing happened. It got even darker as they walked along, and nothing happened. Somehow, no pokemon were in sight. They all seemed to have found a way to keep out of sight in this hilled place, despite the fact that it seemed like there was no place to hide.

Moze was disappointed in the fact that there were no pokemon around. Of course, what could one expect in the middle of the night? Suddenly, she stopped walking. "We're almost there." She told her pokemon. "I think we are going to do some last minute training right now before we go into Jesterfeild, get ourselves rested, then battle."

Mars flew down to the ground and landed next to Kiss and Touchstone. "Okay, Touchstone. I found another Rare Candy in my backpack. Here." She pulled the item out and handed it to Touchstone. "You're getting closer to evolving, my friend."

Then Moze turned to Kiss and Mars. "This training is mostly for Kiss, since she's the lowest level." She said. "First, we're going to have a race. Kiss, Mars, you guys go about thirty feet that way. Touchstone, come with me." The two groups walked opposite directions. When they stopped, they were about sixty feet apart. Moze yelled her orders out. "Mars, find a stick. Okay, good. Mars, you are going to fly to me, and give me the stick. I'll run to Kiss and give her the stick. Kiss, you will run to Touchstone and give him the stick. Then we'll be finished."

They swiftly carried out this little excersize. When they were done, they all walked toward each other, breathing heavily. "Okay, next."

((I'll finish training later.))

((Okay.))

Touchstone gained a level!

"This is a little game called 'Clean your Room' that I used to play." Moze said, as she spread out about twenty large rocks. She then created a straight line using long sticks. "Mars, you go on one side, Kiss, you go on the other." She ordered afterwards. The two pokemon obliged quickly.

"What you do is try to get all the rocks off of your side. Ready. Set. Go!" Moze shouted. Mars and Kiss immidiately sprung into action. Mars could move faster. Soon, he had most of his rocks off of his side. Desperately, Kiss used Hail to slow the bird down for a while. She ran around and used Pound to make the rocks fly to the other side of the line of sticks. When the Hail stopped, Mars could fly faster again. Soon they were tied.

It went on for about an hour, before Kiss finally triumphed. She shouted for joy. "Great job, you guys." Moze praised. "You guys deserve a good rest." With that, she returned Mars and Kiss to their pokeballs. Then Moze and Touchstone continued walking.

Kiss gained a level!

Again, nothing happened. It was eerily quiet.

((That is my worst post EVER. I can't think of anything else to say, though.

Mars is close to leveling, but not quite there yet.))

[Rhythm]

((I'd laugh, but it's a bad idea to laugh at the Administrator. Thanks for the level, though. Meh.))

Moze sighed as she reached the end of the route. She was a bit disappointed in the lack of pokemon. She shivered as the eerie quiet washed over her. Suddenly re-energized, she started walking again, heading briskly into the city.
