Really, Officer, it followed me home!

WHO: Saori [OPEN]
WHAT: One very persistant pokemon will not leave her alone
WHERE: Route 293
WHEN: Post-Quakesburg Tournament

"Sweetie, for the last time, I can't take you with me." Saori stooped down to reason with the Shieldon. Yes, it was the exact same one she used in the tournament and returned to the local research facility after the event was done. What Saori didn't know was that the Shieldon actually managed to escape and track her down. During this time, she was digging around one of the areas to get herself a fossil and a few evolution stones when she was tackled down by the run away pokemon.

The Shieldon shook his head and stomped the ground with his front feet. He clearly wasn't going to leave. "Okay, so it's more like I shouldn't take you with me. Really though, the research facility will take good care of you, I promise. Now how about we go back to Quakesburg?" Again, he refused. This stalemate was even more ridiculous than her battle in the tournament.

Bri was wandering around the dig site, her hands in her pockets and Faust loose at her side, keeping an eye out for anyone taking more than their share. There were limitations on how many fossils one trainer could unearth, after all, since there were a finite amount of them in the cliffside.

Suddenly, Faust's head snapped up and he began sniffing the air. "What is it?" Bri asked, but the pokemon didn't answer her, just started casting about on the ground and then bounded off. "Faust!" She ran after him, panting, mentally cursing the fact that she had trained him so well. Of course when he caught a suspicious scent he just... took off.

Bri rounded a corner and found Faust face-to-face with a Sheildon... a familiar-looking Sheildon. "I guess," she panted, "you found," she gasped, "our escapee."

The Shieldon did not appreciate the newcomers and got into a defensive stance.

Saori looked up to Bri and Faust approaching them. At the mention of an escapee, she figured the trainer was probably a ranger. Finally maybe they could knock some sense into the stubborn pokemon.

"I'm sorry he's caused you so much trouble. I've been trying to get him back to research center, but he refuses to go."

"Does he now?" Bri asked, a little amused, as she watched the picture unfolding in front of her.

Faust, taken aback by the small steel-type's defiance, crouched and growled at the other pokemon, occasionally erupting into his signature hair-raising barks. It was ridiculous that a steel-type would try to face off against a fire-type, and he told the Sheildon as much.

"He insists on coming with me, from the look of things," she sighed. "To be honest, I wouldn't mind, but I'm sure the researchers wouldn't be too happy about it."

The Shieldon defiantly said he didn't care and he wanted to stay with Saori no matter what. His knees shook a bit when Faust barked, but he stood his ground. He was well aware the odds were against him, but he didn't want to stay at the facility.

Faust stopped growling and sat, tilting his head to one side. The Sheildon was a determined little thing, to stand up to a pokemon that was so obviously more powerful.

"Sheildons aren't exactly rare," Bri said - her tone was bland. "The researchers said he had broken out from the lab but they didn't sound all that upset about it.

She eyed her Houndoom, who made a peculiar little whuffing sound. You want to stay with the trainer? he seemed to ask.

"Ah, well, so they wouldn't mind if I brought add him to my team then?" Saori blinked, slightly stunned by the news.

The Shieldon gave a nod. He reassured the Houndoom by moving over to Saori's side.

Bri hesitated - the researchers had requested that she obtain and return the pokemon, but the scientist who had requested it of her had a faraway look in his eye, especially when some of the researchers had hailed him over to look at one of the other losing pokemon. She knew they had discovered quite a few new fossils, and where thrilled by the new discovery.

"What I'm saying," Bri said slowly, as if it pained her to do so, "is that I don't think they would miss him."

Faust whipped his head around so fast that he nearly fell over, his tail stiffening in shock. Was his trainer really suggesting that they not turned the Sheildon in? That Saori could keep him?

It almost did physically pain her, and Faust's reaction really did remind her that she was disobeying the orders of her position - but she looked from the Sheildon to the trainer and shrugged.

Saori didn't let the hesitation and Faust's reaction go under the radar. "Ah...but if they find out you let him go, wouldn't you get into trouble? I couldn't possibly let that happen."

Shieldon looked up at Saori and nudged her, as if trying to assure her it'll be okay. Still, she couldn't help but feel troubled by this.

Bri couldn't help but be grateful that the trainer had so easily understood the situation. Faust, looking back and forth between Saori and the Sheildon, twitched the end of his spaded tail and whuffed.

"I'll get a reprimand," Bri said with a shrug. "But honestly, I'd rather see the pokemon happy with a trainer than bored in a lab."

"Well, if that's the case, I'm in your debt, Ranger." Saori gave a polite bow and the Shieldon even mimicked his new trainer. "I'll take good care of him. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't be afraid to ask."

Milla was fine with losing the tournament. Quiet frankly, she was happy she did. The Relicanth, as much as she had grown attached to it, didn't seem to be too fond of her. So instead of staying for the rest of the tournie, she decided to get a head start to Sheercliff. She was amazed of the route itself, being underground. She had debated if she should go to the fossil dig but the recently discovered Regigigas Shrine sounded like way more fun.

Lovely was still out and was exploring the large boulders and crevices in the cave, hoping up and down and all around. Milla simply stared at the map of the route, right in front of her face, not watcing where she was walking, "We should be on ze Shrine fairly soon...this cave is just so large!"

Saori still trying to reason with the headstrong pokemon, when she heard someone approaching. The voice sounded really familiar too. She stopped for a second and stood up to see who it was.

"Milla? Is that you?"

Milla pulled her map down and looked over it. Who would she know out here? She blinked a bit and threw the map up, running forward, "SAORI!!!" she practically leaped forward, hugging her, "It is so good to see you, dahling!"

Lovely hoped down from the cave's tops and walked over to the Shieldon and started to sniff it, inspecting the new Pokemon it did not recognize.

Saori squeaked in surprise from the hug but laughed. "It's good to see you too!"

The Shieldon stood still, letting Lovely inspect him. He just tilted his head as he watched. But seeing how the trainers seemed to know each other, he figured they would be alright.

"Oooh and this must be your newest addition!" she walked over to Lovely and patted heron the head. She squatted down a bit and let the Shieldon smell her, "Very nice to meet you." She used a bit of her 'Gift' and smiled up at Saori, "This Pokemon is very attached to you...How did you manage to keep it? You did not win the tournament..."

"Ah well..." Saori laughed nervously. "A funny thing happened after the tournament. After I returned Shieldon to the research facility like we were supposed to, apparently he managed to break out and find me."

More like the Shieldon was attached to her cooking, but same difference. In the mean time, the fossil pokemon sat down and watched the two trainers converse, wagging his stubby tail now and then.

Lovely walked over and nuzzled against Saori, this was the trainer that gave her so many pets last time they met. So of course, she was going to eat it up.

Milla gave a little chuckle, "Well he zeems like a great Pokemon! So are you busy? Lovely and I were just about to go to the Regigias shrine, if you'd like to join us!"

Of course, Saori was going to spoil Lovely with more petting. How could anyone resist such a sweetie like this Espeon. Shieldon got up and moved over to his new trainer's side, wanting in on some petting too.

"I don't see why not. I could use a break from trying to find fossils." Before the tournament, she most regarded fossil pokemon to be just rock types, but after seeing that Tropius, she just had to have one.

"Fantastic! Come along Lovely!" she briskly walked back and picked up her map and lifted it back up in front of her face and walked forward. Lovely stood up and started to walk, edging Saori along. If she could still get pets, then why not make the most of it.

"It is suppose to be truly wonderful! I cannot wait to see it. There is even a temple that was built into the cave walls around it. How marvelous" she put the map down and smiled at Saori and giggled at Lovely, "She seems to like you."

The Shieldon followed first and then Saori. Apparently Kai just gotten more competition for Saori's attention.

"To think that such a place was built underground still fascinates me to no end." Still, some of her pokemon would like to be above ground, soaking up the sun right about now. "Aww, I like you too, Lovely. Once we get to a good place to stop, I'll give you one of my poffins, okay? And you too, Shieldon."

The Shieldon was pinged by the mention of food and jumped into Saori's arms, almost knocking her over with some of its strength.

Lovely was basically jumping around Saori. Now the truth comes out, it's all about those poffins. Milla giggled, "Lovely is a sucker for poffins. She does not like mine nearly as much as she loves yours."

The turned a fair large curve and Milla gasped, "O-oh! My!" in front of them, about 50 feet tall was a giant carving of Regigias, completely out of blue gray stone. There was a good number of tourists taking photographs and pointing it out to children, "It is so marvelous! I never expected..."

"Espe..." even Lovely was taken away by how spectacular the statue was. Under the legs was a small stone building, with a sign that said 'Temple Entrance.'

"Thank you, Lovely. I'm glad you like my poffins." It was made her happy knowing a pokemon liked her handmade poketreats.

"It's amazing. And to think they built this with only the simplest of tools." The scene really was breath taking. Even Shieldon was stunned by the sheer size of the carving and the attention to details the ancient people put into it.

Milla stared for a few seconds before she grabbed Saori's hand, pulling her along, "Come! Lets go explore the temple." Lovely was quick to follow at her trainers heels, "I wonder if there are any Pokemon here..." walking right past the small office outside that said 'Tours.'

"Uwah! A-alright, that's fine with me!" Really, Milla's cheery disposition and spontaneity was really starting to remind her of her little brother, minus the salsa music and partying. Shieldon clung onto his trainer's arm as they were pulled deeper into the temple.

"Wow." the inside was just as beautiful as the outside. High walls and collums, carvings in the walls of the different legendary golems. It was truly wonderful. There were many halls and corridors for them to explore.

Milla shrieked as a Zubat flew quickly through the room they were in and to the outside, "Goodness! Nearly gave me a heart attack! I do not like being surprised like tha-AEEEEEI!" she was then greeted with an gigantic group of Zubats who swarmed the room but as soon as the arrived, they vanished out the entrance.
